[TASK COMPLETE: FOLLOW THE WOMAN IN BLUE] [REWARD: +50 BEAUTY POINTS | ROMANTIC ADVANTAGE: 'THE SOUL COMPASS' ACTIVATED] I felt a subtle, warm tingle rush through my body, like a soft filter being placed over my skin. It was a common feeling I got whenever I was rewarded with beauty points. But it was the 'Romantic Advantage' that felt the most potent. It was a magnetic pull, an aura that seemed to radiate from me, casting a golden light on the man standing beside me. ''Vincent,'' I touched his arm, ''Are you okay?" Vincent looked up, and for a second, his grief-stricken eyes caught mine. He, eventhough clearly upset, blinked, as if dazed by the sight of me.

"Go on, have a wonderful time, okay?" I offer a smile, acknowledging her concern, and proceed to kiss the girls goodbye before making my way upstairs to my bedroom. Today, I decided to deviate from my usual routine and indulge in a luxurious bath instead of a quick morning shower. I fill the tub with warm water, adding bath salts, and using my exquisitely scented body wash and oils. At this moment, I desire to pamper my skin and rejuvenate it, aiming for a radiant glow akin to polished mahogany.

“Teach me how you control the glows on your body!” “--Can every Inhumane learn the way of the glow?” Peirce asked. He glowed in green, stared at his clenched fist imitating Lazarus. Peirce’s green glow brightened up the place they sat. Node glanced at him then he also glowed in purple. Then the whole sands which their glows touched, bleached in symmetrical tinted blue-black. The Inhumanes never worried about what was happening beneath them due to having living their lives among varies of colors but only one of them was extremely amazed by the magnificent scenery happening.

"You are supposed to be turned around!" His eyes were wide as his index finger pointed at me in shock. "Your um…your chest! The Triple Moon Thing is GLOWING ON YOUR SKIN!!!!" He exclaimed in a nervous excitement. Raising my brow I glanced down at myself. My mouth fell open at seeing the brand I had gotten from the necklace on my skin glowing with a luminescence.

Who needs electricity when the faint glow coming from beneath my skin is enough. It pulses along my arms, golden and eerie, threading like lightning trapped beneath glass. I curl my fingers into fists, trying to contain it. But the magic wants out. It wants more. I step into the bathroom and lock the door. My reflection startles me. There’s a shimmer in my irises now, a flickering halo of something ancient. The veins at my throat glow faintly, spiderwebs of light crawling under my skin. I touch the glass and it feels too cold.

Her smile was effortless, and her eyes were filled with genuine affection. Caca looked equally happy standing beside her. In the silence, Baskara slipped his phone from his jacket pocket. He slowly raised it. Click. A new photo appeared on the screen. Aurelia and Caca stood side by side, smiling beneath the playful penguin backdrop. A faint smile touched Baskara's lips. But only for a moment. The smile slowly faded as he continued staring at the image, as though it wasn't merely a photograph, but a glimpse of a future he could never allow himself to have.

I spoke enthusiastically. "Beg for it!" El teased. "Pretty, pretty, pretty please?!!!" I said in a sarcastic tone. "What the heck?" She giggled before continuing. "You think I'm pretty? That's such a weird joke!" "Yeah, you are. It's not even a debate. Now, would you please tell me the good part about these flowers whose name I don't even know?" I said in a cute pleading voice. "Well bitch, the juicy part is that these babies glow in the dark. They are very pretty and offer a soothing atmosphere once you see them glow in the dark."

‎ ‎“Is this how you ask every guy you see at the club for sex?” ‎ ‎“No i don't,” I whispered. ‎ ‎“Good.” His voice softened, but the authority never left. “Then maybe... we do this properly.” ‎ ‎He reached up, brushing his knuckles down my cheek. The warmth of his skin left a trail of sparks, and I couldn’t look away.

“Let’s make you decent again.” The event hall shimmered in blush and ivory décor, every corner glowing with soft light. A floral backdrop framed the logo: Marie’s Skincare – Embrace Your Glow. Photographers lined the red carpet, flashes going off as guests filled the hall—bloggers, influencers, skincare lovers, reporters, and a few celebrities. Anna stepped in, hand-in-hand with Vivian. The crowd turned. Applause rippled through the room, flashes popping like fireworks. Her heartbeat thudded in her ears. For a moment, she froze.

It was glowing. Not faintly. Not like a trick of the morning light. It was glowing with that same golden shimmer I had seen the night of my training. Only this time it was steadier, brighter, as if it had found a rhythm inside me and decided to sing along. My breath caught. The glow pulsed once. Twice. Then held, warm and alive against my skin. I stared at it, throat tightening. “What…” My voice came out hoarse. “What is that?”
