The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 41: Evangeline's Secret
Max and Tulip run towards the door. But going there did no good; it didn’t work. The door was made of iron. There wasn’t even the slightest crack through which something from the outside could be seen. "Who could it be?" Max said, turning back from the door. In response, Jack said, "Evangeline. It has to be Evangeline." "Why do you think so?" Luna asked. "From the voice. I’m sure that’s Evangeline’s voice." "Yeah, it could be," James, who came closer to them, spoke up. "I’ve heard Evangeline’s voice before. This is definitely Evangeline’s voice." "So Evangeline is secretly helping us," Tulip said absent-mindedly. "But why is she pretending not to know us?" Max said, "There’s probably a mystery behind this." "But what could that mystery be?" Jack seemed to be questioning himself. "What should we do now?" Max asked. "I don’t know. We’re stuck in a place from which escaping seemed impossible. And we only had one more day. After that, we’d die. I couldn’t even tell whether it wa
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 42: The Vampire's Dilemma: Good vs. Evil
"Let's go out now, then," James suggested. He looked at Evangeline, waiting for her response."No," Evangeline shook her head. "We can't go now.""Why?""There are many vampires here. But not all of them are bad.""Are you serious?" Jack exclaimed. "Even among vampires, there are good and bad ones?""Yes, there are. Why? Am I a vampire, and am I not good?""No, that's not what I mean. Never mind, let's get back to the point.""Yeah, as I was saying," Evangeline started again. "Not all vampires are good. Some are on Theodoros's side. Even though Theodoros wasn't awake at that time, his loyal vampires were still active. Besides, I couldn't even go near the pond because of them.""So, what will we do now?""We have to kill them.""The vampires?""Yeah.""But how?""Listen, I'll tell you.""Okay, go ahead.""First, we needed to make them unconscious by letting them smell the fragrance of Ultra-Desmond. Then we had to drive a wooden stake into their hearts to kill them.""What’s this Ultra
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 43: A Morning in Heaven Brook
The story of the Vampire forestAdventure 4It was seven o’clock in the morning, and a new day just began at Heaven Brook. The early sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden glow across the room. Jack woke up, stretched his arms, and got out of bed. After brushing his teeth and washing his hands and face, he hurried to the dining table."Mom, I have an important class today. Please serve breakfast quickly," he said.His mother placed a warm meal before him, and he ate quickly. Once finished, he grabbed his school bag and set off for school, ready to face the day ahead.***Physics class was in session. Mr. Greyson was delivering a monotonous lecture without pause. Physics was one of Jack’s favorite subjects, but Mr. Greyson turned it into an unbearable topic. His dull lectures numbed everyone in the class.Jack was sitting attentively, pretending to listen to Mr. Greyson’s tedious droning. However, he couldn't truly focus on the monotony of Mr. Greyson’s grating voice. S
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 44: Mission: Ghost Forest
The Astraeus gang fell straight into a filthy roadside ditch. They hadn’t noticed it while laughing and staring at each other, so what was bound to happen, happened. All four of them, bikes and all, landed in the rotting muck. Covered head to toe in mud and garbage, they looked like something out of a horror movie. Astraeus, trying to get up quickly, slipped again and fell flat on his back in the foul sludge. The others burst out laughing, doubling over with tears in their eyes. Jack laughed so hard he accidentally pressed on his injured nose with his left hand, wincing in pain and letting out a loud groan, which only made the others laugh harder. “Enough laughing, let’s head home,” Max said, finally composing himself. “It’s already pretty late.” Luna glanced at her watch and gasped. “Oh no! It’s four o’clock! I’m so dead! I’ve got to go!” Grabbing Tulip’s hand, she pulled her along. “Come on, Tulip, aren’t you coming?” “Yes, yes, let’s go,” Tulip nodded hurriedly. “We’re he
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 45: The Journey Begins
They packed their bags and belongings the night before. In the morning, Luna called Jack and Max, asking them to stay at Jack's house. She informed them that she and Tulip would pick them up from there.Max arrived at Jack's house early in the morning. He had breakfast with Jack. Not long after, they heard a car horn outside. They knew Luna and Tulip arrived. Jack went upstairs to his bedroom, grabbed his bag, and came back down. He saw Tulip and Luna sitting in the living room, chatting with his mom, Mrs. Bernard"Let’s go, let’s go!" Luna urged him as soon as she saw him. "We’re already running late.""Yeah, let’s go," Jack said and started walking toward the door. The other three followed him. Jack and Max loaded their bags into the car’s compartment.Before they got into the car, Jack's mom, Mrs. Bernard, gave them one last piece of advice. “Be careful, all of you, and take care of my boy.”"Of course, Auntie," Luna replied. "We’ll take care of your precious little boy." She ruffl
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 46: Keeping Secrets
As soon as Jack took a step after tying his shoelace, he couldn’t understand what happened in an instant. He found himself hanging upside down from the top of a large oak tree. A rope from above was tightly wrapped around his right ankle, keeping him suspended in the air.It took Jack a few moments to collect himself from the shock. When he looked down, his heart skipped a beat. He was dangling at least thirty feet above the ground. Falling from such a height would surely break his neck. Out of fear, he stopped flailing his arms and legs. Instead, he began shouting for help.Max suddenly noticed that Jack was no longer with them. “Hey, where’s Jack?” he asked.“Yeah, where did he go?” Luna added.“He was just with us,” Tulip pointed out. “Did he go back home?”“If he did, he would’ve told us,” Max said.Just then, they heard a shout. All three of them immediately perked up their ears. The sound came again after a brief silence. Breaking the quiet, Max said, “Isn’t that Jack’s voice?”
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 47: Moonlit Curiosity
Jack didn’t feel like sitting in his room anymore. He called home and chatted with his parents for a long time. After finishing the call, he went downstairs, grabbed a bottle of lemonade from the fridge, and returned upstairs. Holding the lemonade bottle, he walked to the long hallway in front of his room. As he looked outside, he noticed a car driving down the driveway toward the house."Dolly Aunty must have arrived," Jack guessed. Turning around, he saw the other three had also stepped out of their rooms—probably after hearing the sound of the car horn."Dolly Aunty’s here," Luna announced. "Let’s go downstairs." Without waiting for a reply, she started descending the stairs. The others followed her reluctantly.They reached the living room just as Dolly Aunty entered from outside."Auntyyy!" Luna exclaimed, running toward Dolly Aunty. Tulip followed right behind her. The boys stayed at the base of the stairs.Dolly Arnold hugged Luna and Tulip with both arms. "How are you two doin
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 48: The Haunting Questions
He looked back, but Tania wasn’t there. He quickly scanned his surroundings. He couldn’t find her anywhere. He ran to the other end of the hallway. Still nothing. He called her name, but there was no response."Strange!" Jack muttered absentmindedly. "Where did she go? Disappeared in such a short time?"He started licking his lower lip with his tongue, something he did when he was trying to think. Suddenly, from a distance, a wolf howled in a mournful tone. That sound shattered the stillness of the night. Unconsciously, Jack flinched. Even in this heat, he began to feel cold. A strange terror engulfed him. He couldn’t stand there any longer. He quickly went to his room, closed the door and windows, and lay down.Despite everything feeling odd, he fell asleep soon after. He woke up from a nightmare. He saw himself standing in a large open field. Overhead, thousands of bats were flying. But these weren’t ordinary bats. They were bloodsucking bats. Vampires.In the dark, he fumbled for t

Chapter 106: The Missing Companion
"Luke, aren't your pants made of denim?" Jack suddenly asked."Ugh!" Luke swatted a mosquito away. Then he said, "Yeah, it's denim. Why, what's up?""Can your phone's battery be removed?""Yeah, it can.""That'll do.""What'll do?""Charging," Jack said mysteriously."Charging what?" Luke asked, confused."Ugh, just do something quickly!" Lily said impatiently, smacking her own cheek — actually swatting a mosquito. "These bloodsuckers are going to drain us dry."Ignoring Lily, Jack told Luke to take out his phone's battery. Luke fumbled in the dark and managed to remove it. "Now what?" he asked."Rub the battery's charging slot against your jeans," Jack instructed.Finally, Luke understood. As an engineering student, he felt embarrassed that such a simple idea hadn't crossed his mind. Without another word, he firmly rubbed the battery's charging slot against his pants. Though they couldn’t see in the dark, the rough scratching sound made it clear he was doing it.Jack said, "Once you'
Chapter 105: A Faint Hope in the Jungle
They had been walking for quite a while. Everyone was exhausted. Suddenly, Orin dropped onto a pine log, declaring that he couldn’t go any further. The others were just as worn out, so they all decided to rest right there. They had lunch with the water and the deer meat they had with them. After a short break, they set off again."How much longer do we have to keep walking?" Lily asked impatiently."Until we find the Yaku River," Jack replied indifferently."In other words, until we get rescued," Luke added."Yeah, exactly," Jack agreed."Do you think we’ll actually get rescued?" Orin asked, his voice filled with doubt."Hmm." Jack sighed. "Only time will tell.""And when exactly will that time come?" Lily asked impatiently.Suddenly, Jack stopped in his tracks, making everyone else pause in surprise. Lily was about to ask what was wrong, but Jack raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet. She fell silent immediately.Jack stood still, straining his ears to catch something. "Do you g
Chapter 104: Flickers in the Firelight
Lily stared at the fire. It burned brightly, its orange glow lighting up everything around it. Nocturnal animals filled the jungle with their calls, the constant noise almost deafening to Lily. She had been awake for quite a while now. Around midnight, she was supposed to wake Jack. She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time, but it was dead. No charge. Finally, she glanced at her wristwatch. In the dim light, she saw that it was already twelve. Just as she was about to wake Jack, she noticed him sitting on the hammock. That meant he had woken up on his own."When did you wake up?" Lily asked."Just a little while ago," Jack replied."Well, good thing you did. I was about to wake you.""Alright then, you get some sleep. I’ll keep watch."Lily wished him goodnight and lay down. Jack sat quietly on the hammock. After a while, he noticed the firewood was running low. The flames were almost out. He climbed down, added a few branches onto the glowing embers, and went back to
Chapter 103: Where’s Luke?
Orin is scared. She doesn’t know what to do now. Should she call out to them?No, that might startle the animals. That could make things even worse. When animals get startled, they become aggressive.What are those two?Tigers, bears, or leopards? Or something else?Orin hasn’t seen the animals yet. But from their growls, she can tell they’re fierce and large. The animals are slowly approaching the camp. Yes, there are two of them. Orin sees four eyes glowing in the darkness. One animal wouldn’t have four eyes. Nor would it have just one. Each animal has two eyes, so there must be two of them.The animals crept closer and closer until they reached Jack’s hammock. Orin’s heart pounded wildly in her chest. She was frozen with indecision. Then suddenly, an idea struck her.Luke was lying in the hammock closest to Orin. She poked him with a stick. He didn’t wake the first time, but on the second try, he stirred. As he sat up, he was about to make a sound, but Orin quickly put a finger to
Chapter 102: Right in Front of You
The jaguar was about fifteen feet away from them. A distance it could cover in a single leap. And it wouldn't take more than a few moments for it to make that jump.The jaguar leaped from its position. It was mid-air when something extraordinary happened. The smallest and most frightened among them stepped forward. Without a second thought, it lunged at the beast, which was at least twenty-five times its size. It knew it stood no chance, knew it would meet certain death, yet it leaped — only to save its friends. It could have run away and saved itself.Though it couldn't match the jaguar's strength, Don managed to hold it off for a few moments with sheer cunning. Don's sharp claws slashed across the jaguar's face. The sight of such a tiny dog daring to attack enraged the jaguar even more. With a shake of its head, it hurled Don to the ground. Even after hitting the ground, Don didn't give up. It charged again at the jaguar. But this time, Don couldn't hold it off. The jaguar struck th
Chapter 101: The Black Terror
Don stared at the large bush with a fearful gaze, barking furiously."Hey Don, what's wrong now?" Lily grabbed Don's collar and asked. Don glanced at Lily once, then turned back to the bush and started barking again."There's something over there," Jack said in a serious tone.Everyone immediately turned to look at him. "Something dangerous?" Orin's eyebrows furrowed."Yeah!" Jack nodded absentmindedly. "Something dangerous.""I think so too," Luke added. "There's definitely something scary over there."The two girls grew even more frightened after hearing Luke and Jack. "What do we do now?" Orin asked, her voice trembling.Without answering, Luke readied his bow and arrow. Jack picked up the wooden spear. The girls didn’t need to be told what to do. Watching Jack and Luke prepare was enough for them to understand. They each grabbed a spear and got ready.Don kept barking non-stop. No matter what they did, they couldn’t calm him down. At one point, Orin saw a shadow moving on the othe
Chapter 100: Don the Defender
The fastest snake in the world is the black mamba. It can cover nearly five meters per second. It is also one of the deadliest venomous snakes on Earth, said to rank just behind the king cobra. Interestingly, the black mamba isn’t black at all; its body is a dark grayish-olive color, though at birth, even that shade isn’t present. As it grows older, its color deepens. The name "black mamba" comes from the inky black color inside its mouth. When threatened, it raises its head high like a king cobra and hisses loudly — just like it was doing now. The black mamba doesn’t stop after one strike; it bites repeatedly, pumping venom into its enemy. Its venom is primarily neurotoxic, attacking the nervous system directly. Just a single drop is enough to cause a heart attack and kill a full-grown human in fifteen minutes.The snake was so close, it wouldn’t take a second to lunge at Luke. Death stood right before him, and he knew it. He could see no hope of escaping alive.The snake raised half
Chapter 99: Where’s Luke?
After searching for quite a while, Luke couldn't find anything except four bird eggs. Finally, feeling frustrated, he sat down on a tree stump. But then, he quickly realized that sitting still wouldn't do. He had been out for quite a while. If he took any longer, they would start to worry. So, sitting there was no use. It would be better to head back to the camp. Surely, Jack must have found something. But what if, just like him, Jack didn't find anything? The thought made Luke pause. Then what would they do with these four eggs? They would have to go hungry.A bunch of such thoughts kept swirling in Luke’s mind. At that moment, he noticed a bush rustling nearby. He knew that bushes don’t move on their own. Someone was disturbing it. So there must be something inside. But what was it? A dangerous, fierce animal? Luke didn’t want to think further. He quickly moved behind a tree for cover, keeping his ears alert for any sound, ready to hear the slightest noise. He kept his gaze fixed on
Chapter 98: Out of the Darkness
Lily opened her eyes and saw someone leaning towards her. At first, it was unclear, but slowly, the face became clearer. Seeing Jack, a spark of joy flashed in her eyes.Lily couldn’t speak. She didn’t have the strength to speak. Only a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Jack gave her water to drink. Lily lay on his lap. In this condition, there was no way Lily could climb the vine. So, he would have to figure out how to lift her. But how?Jack sank deep into thought. His mind had already started working to find a solution. Within moments, the path to a solution revealed itself to him. Now, they just needed an extra vine. One that was right above, near Luke.Luke and Orin were sitting above, holding their phone's flash at the mouth of the hole. They waited eagerly. At that moment, they heard Jack’s call. He needed another vine. Without delay, Luke threw one end of the vine into the hole. He held the other end himself.As soon as the vine was in hand, Jack began his work.
