Blurred silhouettes that were hovering above her were the first image that Maleficent saw upon opening her eyes. The ache that spread around her muscles restricted her from sitting up or even moving an inch from her position. Her throat was parched as if she was exposed to a long drought and her lips were chapped. Cent did not know why she was feeling these as if she was dead tired from traveling though she did not remember what transpired after being swallowed by the black hole created by her father. Cent could not remember anything but one word that was whispered right next to her ear. “Interesting.” She did not know who uttered that word but the single word stuck to her like glue. Cent knew that if she exp

RANCID CITY (the Capital City of the Nether World – south of the Imperial Palace)       One day before the Festival under the Hallow Fields at the Grand Duke Beelzebub’s territories, with the permission from the demon lord of Gluttony himself, Maleficent together with Gukasho and Frankenstein traveled to the Rancid City. This time, they used the magic carriage rather than moving through the shadows in consideration for what happened at Cent the last time she used the portal made of shadow arts. The moment she arrived at the buzzing capital city of the Nether World, hundreds of Slaughter butterflies were released behind Gukasho and Frankenstein’s back – for espionage and information gathering, though one butterfly was sent to deliver a message. Hunger, on the other hand, stayed inside her shadow

      A wave of azure hue engulfed Cent and Damon who were waiting for the spell to activate around their beating heart. But the cold yet comfortable wisp of unfamiliar magic intertwined with the hexagram around the two Halflings, eliciting a gasp full of wonder from Cent.   “Stop playing and get this thing out!” Damon yelled again, his breath fanned over her head that made Cent scrunched her face with annoyance.   Cent kicked his leg with all her might. “Hey, shut it!” Upon realizing that he was talking to someone else like a lunatic, Cent clicked her tongue as she glared openly at him – which he also met with equal fervent. Cent continued, “Are you going loco, huh? Stop yelling and accept that you’re dying with me.”   Damon was about to retort wh

      Chocolate-colored spiky hair stood alert as his lilac eyes were coldly looking into the void, Levi’s tails were swirling – ready to attack if necessary. Fists clenched and jaws ticking, his aura caused the servants to tiptoe around him since he clearly showed that he did not want to be disturbed. Levi stood at the main receiving area’s balcony of their mansion while waiting.   Levi was taking a huge risk. He did not know why all of his instincts wanted him to bend the knee to a newly pledged Halfling. For a centuries-old Halfling like him, the thought of submitting to someone younger should be a laughing matter but even his Basilisk was eerily silent. Ever since the incident with the angel, Angelo, Levi saw how the holy fire was nothing against the sleepy Maleficent as the latter killed the angel in one blink without an ounce of remorse. His first thought was to make her his, to use her at his disposal, but all of his thoughts were all for n

       “Ah! It’s good to be back.” Maleficent stretched her arms. Her back arched against the plush sofa located at the very corner of Sinner’s Café. Sitting adjacent to her seat, Matilda the rotting zombie, was feasting the café’s trendy cupcake. The cupcake was called ‘Devil’s Cupcake’, touché. Of course it would suit in the menu given that the name of the café was Sinner’s Café located near the boundary of the Malevolent Dormitories and Ambivalent Dormitories. The bounty river separated the lush lands of the beings loved by nature and the forsaken grounds of the beings that loved destruction – at its center, though still located at the borderlines of the Forsaken Lands under the Malevolent Dormitory, a lively two storey hut that was wrapped with crawling vines stood. Jack-o-lanterns littered the pathway made of broken cobblestones as if it the hu
