Chapter: I Am Happy Now-II
The guests had filled the entrance of the castle faster than how a fire would spread. Colors filled the white walls as not a single place inside was missed from being decorated. Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals.

Chapter: I Am Happy Now-I
The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o

Chapter: Blow Up-III
Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an

Chapter: Blow Up-II
“Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre

Chapter: Blow Up-I
When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress.

Chapter: Crystal Ball-III
Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day.

Defy Me If You Can

Defy Me If You Can

Jane lived her entire life in the shadows. All this time, she only knew how to bend her head down, to make sure she wouldn't offend anyone or caught eyes as she worked for her aunt and uncle as a laundry maid. Until one day she was kidnapped and sold. "Our young master is blind." the butler announced to her. "And he would need entertainment." "Entertainment...?" Was this a child? "Without entertainment... our young master could get violent." Jane turned stiff as she saw beyond the closed door, a face of a man who was smiling back at her with his gleaming platinum blond hair. The way he looked at her felt almost as if he could see her even though he's blind.

Chapter: Brought Away-III
A man smiled back at her.With a long glistening dark reddish hair tied loosely to the side of his shoulders with a black ribbon, the man looked almost out of place in the small and humble room. His appearance was neat despite the rain and the muddy roads outside, and there was something calm about his face that made him look like someone who was used to dealing with troublesome situations without ever losing his composure.“I see you have woken up.”The voice he carried was gentle and polite to almost a fault.Jane stared at him.She didn’t know who he was.The moment she saw the unfamiliar man standing there, her body tensed slightly, though the tiredness that remained in her bones made it impossible for her to properly react.Jane tried to speak but the smiling Helena saved the day by starting the talk first.“Sir Salem, it seems that she had hurt her throat. It would be hard for her to talk as of now.”“Oh dear me, is that so?” Salem’s expression immediately turned concerned. “I s

Chapter: Brought Away-II
Someone muttered beside her ears.Those voices weren’t familiar and yet at the same time it bore no such danger that Jane couldn’t feel any sense of urgency to open her eyes. It’s odd, in the far back of her head she felt as if she had to wake up from this deep sleep, but at the same time, she felt so exhausted and so relaxed that she couldn’t bring her body to move.Her mind felt like it was floating somewhere far away from her body.She could hear the voices, but they were distant.Sometimes they sounded close enough that she thought she could reach them, and then the next moment they would become nothing more than a faint whisper buried beneath the darkness of her mind.She tried to move.Nothing.Her fingers felt heavy.Her arms felt even heavier.Even breathing seemed to take effort, though strangely enough she didn’t feel pain from it.It continued until she could finally move her finger to move and her eyes, though still sheepish and tired, could slowly make out the ceiling she

Chapter: Brought Away-I
Julius felt a chill when Victor turned around and upon feeling that Julius had flinched, Victor pulled a sneer from the corner of his lips.“I so want to kill you all but my priorities lies elsewhere.”Victor walked passed by him and muttered, “Thank heaven that your father and grandmother died today. If it wasn’t for that, you wouldn’t be here.”Julius gulped as he felt the words sent straight fear down his bone marrows but regardless he balled his fist tighter.“You do…”The words came out as nothing more than a mutter under his breath.Victor wasn’t interested.He continued walking, his steps quick and heavy against the ground as if he had already forgotten that Julius was even standing behind him.But Julius couldn’t let him leave.Not like this.He yelled before Victor was far enough.“You can do anything to me… But my sister… she tried to help her out! She did try her best but—”“But left her there?”Victor’s blue eyes shone brightly.The chilling look of wanting to murder someo

With that confident grin, Victor spread his once crossed arm to his sister. "If you don't believe me turn and ask Stanley. He must be somewhere on the door, standing like a fool. He will tell you who that servants was bought for and how the money comes out from my own pocket." Stacey clicked his tongue and suddenly took a sharp turn. After she slam the door open, her eyes shot a cold look at Stanley outside the door, "Is this true? I thought you bought the servants under Piper's order." "Really?" The question came from Victor who deliberately made a surprised face. With a hand over his mouth, his eyebrows raised and lips slightly agape, he looked every bit of someone who was taken aback, except Jane could see it that the corners of his lips was somewhat curled into a grin. "Stanley tell me the truth," he demanded then to the butler who had once sneered and scoffed at Jane. Now in front of Victor and Stacey, he appeared as if he was being squeezed out of air. But perhaps because

Chapter: Wake Up-IV
By the time the fire was extinguished, what was left of the once beautiful manor was a building all charred in black. The walls that once stood proudly were now covered with ashes and burn marks, while several windows had been completely shattered from the heat. Smoke still rose from different parts of the building, slowly disappearing into the gloomy sky.Standing in front of it after getting out of the carriage, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly and then turned to his left where there was already a man sitting inside the red cushion carriage. His face was hidden slightly up to his nose by the equally crimson curtain.The young man remained silent for a moment before speaking.“Lord Andreas, everything is totally burned.”The man, Lord Andreas, played with the ring on his thumb. He rolled his finger over it, feeling the crystal gems over the skull-shaped ornament. His fingers moved slowly, almost absentmindedly, as though the sight of the burned manor held very little interest

Chapter: Wake up-III
When they reached the staircase, Vanessa was already standing near the landing with her arms crossed, speaking to one of the maids who looked both nervous and apologetic. The moment she heard footsteps approaching, she turned around. Upon seeing Victor walking beside Madam Sayor, genuine surprise flashed across her face before it quickly disappeared behind a faint frown."You are usually late," she remarked, raising a brow. "Is there a change in the wind for you to suddenly arrive on time?"Victor had barely parted his lips before Madam Sayor beat him to it."Oh, let Victor do as he pleases." She waved a dismissive hand toward her granddaughter before gently patting Victor's arm. "You cannot possibly understand how difficult it is for someone who cannot see to arrive precisely on time."Vanessa rolled her eyes but wisely held her tongue.Jane, however, quietly lowered her gaze.She knew Madam Sayor had spoken with nothing but kindness.

Dance With The Wicked

Dance With The Wicked

The death of her sister shocked Belle but that didn’t stop her to step into the mystery of her sister’s murder. But what if those murderers aren’t done by a supernatural being? Belle’s sister died the day before her marriage. People claimed she had killed herself but Belle didn’t believe the investigation and decided to take it by herself. Everything comes down when she had no rules, and the only way for her to find the bottom of the mystery was to call up a demon. Except, this demon is a willful, selfish, and as handsome as devilish he was. Extract: In fear, Belle tried to dash but a hand had sneaked out from the black fog, holding tightly to her elbow. What followed the tight grip on her arm was a voice that sounded deep— deep enough to sound as though he hell was shallower compared to him. "Now, now, where are you running, little prey?" Belle didn't know what she had done. She didn't know what force had caused her to activate what she did. She didn't know what had happened either as her mind was slow to grasp her surrounding. But there was one thing she knew after staring back at the bright red eyes across her. She was looking at a demon. She had called a demon.

Chapter: The Puppet
As she settled her hand on Gorgolta’s hands, the man instructed, “Imagine the face of the person. You’re doing great.” Belle’s closed eyes moved slowly as she avoided the bad memory and sight of her bloody sister, only focusing on the man’s face that stood behind Damian. She tried to make it clear but alas, his eyes were blackened in her memory. But even though she couldn’t see the man’s eyes, she was certain she had seen every part of the man’s face, starting from his hair down to his neck. Leon looked at the drawing that Gorgolta had sketched instantly. The charcoal shades left dusts over the parchment but the drawing that started from a line slowly formed a face of a person. Meanwhile, back at her home in that afternoon, Damian who woke up felt a sudden itch from his wound that was given by the strange old woman he had seen two days ago. He felt his throat parched and pushed himself from his coach only to feel dizziness hitting his head and his bod losing balance to the poi

Chapter: Elderly Demon
Belle followed right behind Leon, finding the two elderly men had quickly jump on their feet and looked behind as if trying to find another way to escape. Leon sighed, bringing the boy in front of him that stopped the two men at once.“Wait! Wait! Don’t harm him!” Shouted the first man whose hair had turned all gray. While the man beside him who looked less older also stopped and raised his hand to show he won’t escape again.“We can talk about this. Release that child,” said the second man.“When did I say I would harm this little one?” Leon scoffed. “Which one of you is Gorgolta?”A faint sigh could be heard from the second man’s mouth as he stepped forward, raising his hand, “That would be me. If you’re business if with me—”“He won’t harm this boy,” Belle cut in. Gathering the two’s attention that looked surprised seeing her face, more startled when he saw her eyes were blue instead of red. She noticed this and offered them a smile to break the tension in the room. “We only wish

“We should go now,” said Leon, offering his hand for her to touch.“I do know his face but I can’t describe it for you well enough,” Belle started, looking at him who was smiling, “Do you have an idea?”“Of course I do,” Leon closed his eyes which she followed before feeling a pull that shake her body that happened in a second. As she opened her eyes again the next second, she found herself in a different space. They were standing in front of a pub where men and women gathered but with most of them ignoring their presence, as though Leon’s presence matter so less to their eyes.“Where are we?” She asked, looking around again at the place they had stood at.“The slum of Hell, where only those who are born from the lowest type of demons come,” he pulled her hand, holding her tight. “In here they would sell anything, even the people they just met in exchange for their livelihood. Don’t stray away from me.”Belle noticed the eyes that watched her after a while. It wasn’t that they hadn’t

Chapter: Repay Him
Helios frowned, trying to remember Belle’s face but couldn’t as he didn’t put much thought in remembering the person whom he was set to kill. As there would be no use in remembering the person’s face and name when they would die in the next second. “I don’t remember,” brushed Helios aside, thinking that there was no use in remembering the woman's face again. “I thought Leon would become more obedient now, seeing how he had kept quiet for the few decades. But I could see now how he’s slowly rebelling like what he did in the past. He never learned from his mistakes.”Rachel crooked her eyebrows, folding her hand underneath her bust, “So you’re saying that he brought a witch, is that correct? Can it be the soul of the witch whom you asked for him to bring?”Helios scoffed, as if refusing her words, “He should be done with it by now. I asked him and he told me the soul is already in his possession. If that’s true, the witch must’ve been long dead by now. If everything went to the plan th

Chapter: Other Lover
Belle stayed beside Leon until morning, carefully watching his wound and making sure he was at the most comfort. She found out that truly there was no medicine from the side effect he suffered due to breaking the contract.By morning, the blackness that appeared on his arm had disappeared which took around eight to ten hours.“It’s better now, you don’t have to look at it that way,” Leon chuckled seeing how her blue eyes carefully studying his arm.“Is this really the only side effect?” Belle asked him only to see him smile.“My brother could have killed me but I guess he thought it would be a shame since I haven’t finished what he told me to do,” Leon moved his finger, frowning a little that made her worried.Deep down she had the urge to question what Helios had ordered him to do but couldn’t knowing how it would only trigger the same wound to appear again on him. She didn’t want him to suffer from the pain or to have being at unease as he didn’t want to lie to her.“Don’t worry ho

Chapter: Breathed My Last
Leon looked at her face, noticing the pain that hurt his heart. He quickly shook his head, holding both her hand gently as a way to reassure her.“No. I do not have a lover,” he responded firmly. “In the past there was indeed someone who I fall in love for. But it was only an attraction.”“But the masked man told me,” she whispered. “It’s a doll,” Leon answered to her. “They don’t know feelings or emotions but perhaps to their mind they associate friendship as lover.”Belle trusted him and nodded but she wondered how the doll didn’t have feelings or emotions as she saw it by her eyes how the doll would risk itself to protect her.“And who is that person?” She carefully questioned, “The one who you fell for.”Feeling Leon’s red eyes studying her, she quickly waved her hand, “It’s not what you’re thinking. I know that it’s been a long time and I’m not asking because I want to put you to the corner. I was just curious.”“I know,” Leon chuckled. He rested his head on the head rest which
