Caught Cheating

Kaito Ran was only eleven years old when he watched his ailing father die. During his passing, Ran witnessed a djinn appear to take his father's soul to hell (NARAKU), but during the process, Ran caught a glimpse of hell before the spiritual portal dispersed. He saw that it was a realm, a place of material and magic. He saw nine cities and towers, mythical beings and doomed souls. He realized that he could go to hell and rescue his father. He met a monastery acolyte named Sōran Haru. Haru admitted he could help him save his father from hell. Ran asked how and Haru told him that his half-sister was a Lilim (Lilims are demonic children of Lilith and Satan). He offered to summon her so they can ask if she could take him to hell and help him save his father. They used a ritual to summon her. She appeared and agreed to help them find Ran’s father and even help return him to the Realm of the Living, but in exchange Ran must serve her In hell for twenty years. Ran, filled with so much love for his father, willingly agreed to this. Ran and Haru are taken to hell and found it to be a sinister world where there was no sun and the sky was in perpetual darkness, lit only by clouds of flame. It had its own rules and physical laws. They journey for what felt like days, but could not be confirmed. Ran found himself aging for years while only days had passed. Now they must survive the horror of hell, and Ran must also deal with going from being eleven years old to sixteen over a few weeks and the fact that he might be the son of the great deceiver.

I narrowed my eyes at him and caught glimpse of a guy, standing in a corner and what’s weird is that he wasn’t dancing. He seemed different and odd for all this. He’s looking in my direction, very still and I can see him intermittently. The hat makes it harder to discern. Except for the creepy, fiendish smile, raising the edges of his mouth real slowly. I squinted my eyes at him. He tugged his hat from the right, an expression of a muted Hi! I nodded reflexively and opened my mouth to call Frank, who was busy with stuffing ice cubes in two glasses of beer. “Hey!” I called with my hurting head. “What?” he asked the glasses. “Who’s that? Someone new?” I pointed at him. Frank gave up the stuffing and looked in his direction. “Haven’t seen him before” he said with confusion. . . . Elijah Heath, an eighteen year old teenager was stalked by someone. Read to know who was he? And what made him behave this strangely. Does someone REALLY follows her? Or she's hallucinating like others say? . . . "Is someone there?", I moped around the dim-litted living room. "Guess it's just me. I'm making excuses to cease. No, Elijah! You have to finish this up!". As I ascended three steps, I realized a change in the air pressure around me, an odd creak and a clear presence of heat_ behind me. My breath abated. Just as I plucked the nerve to turn, my ankle was grasped and I slided down as some hand pulled me. My knees rubbed along the hard steps. **Caution**: Contains extremely disturbing content.

What would you do if the entire world wanted you dead… simply because you existed? Kai Ashford thought his biggest problems were paying bills and surviving another bizarre investigation job. Then an ancient inheritance awakens a forgotten power within him—Qi—turning him into the first cultivator in centuries and the one the world fears as the Last Cultivator. Now, every time he uses his powers, government satellites lock onto his location, deadly machines are deployed, and hunters descend upon the city. To survive, Kai must hide his identity, suppress his Qi, and continue living as an ordinary young man by day. His only ally is Aria Vale, a mysterious hacker who never leaves her hideout. From behind a computer screen, she erases his digital footprints, manipulates surveillance systems, and protects his secret while guiding him through a world of ancient legends and hidden conspiracies. Together, they uncover the truth about the Civilization Rift, a gateway to the last sanctuary of the immortals, and a terrifying project to create a weapon capable of killing gods. But the greatest shock awaits Kai. The woman leading the hunt for the Last Cultivator is Director Evelyn Ashford, the legendary enemy of all cultivators… and the mother he believed died long ago. She has spent her entire life hating immortals, believing they stole her child. She has no idea that the boy she is trying to capture is her own son. Caught between humanity and the surviving immortals, Kai must uncover the secret of his birth and decide where he truly belongs. Is he human? Is he a cultivator? Or is he the bridge between two races destined for war? And if the truth behind his existence is finally revealed… why did his dying master tell him to run from the world?
