Mystery Web Novels & Stories

Mysterious said and Ramon gasped. " Fine but who are you walking for? " Ramon asked confusily and mysterious smirked. " I don't work for anyone, I am a loner and I am always curious to know what is in that scroll for ten good years, Thanks for giving me the real one and besides you can have the replica of the scroll " Mysterious said holding the scroll, Ramon had given him the scroll and he left and Ramon sighed deeply while staring at the replica.

Sabrina gave him a thumbs up. “We’ll do our best to make this as painless as possible,” Sally the anchor said. “Now, most of us have heard of the mysterious criminal known only as, ‘Ghost’. True crime junkies, internet chat rooms, YouTube channels, podcasts… some much time has been dedicated in trying to find out anything about him. Why do you suppose that is?”

All of a sudden, he remembered something and began to say, “Oh right, what’s the background of that mysterious live broadcast website? Have we managed to find out any information regarding that?” Everyone in the meeting room frowned when that topic was brought up, and they all became very serious. Joe shook his head as he said, “The investigation yielded no results. The website that showed up like a ghost and didn’t leave behind a digital trail. There's no trace of the money paid to the website either. It’s very strange, and there’s no telling when a mysterious force like that will suddenly show up on Earth.”

Or perhaps he was keeping a secret that he didn't want anyone to discover. Driven by my growing curiosity, I started to dig deeper into Miles' past. I searched online for any clues or connections that might shed light on his mysterious behavior. As I scrolled through social media profiles and dug through old news articles, I discovered that Miles had a troubled past. There were mentions of financial troubles and legal issues, although nothing concrete. With each new piece of information I uncovered, my determination to uncover the truth grew stronger. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something significant hidden beneath the surface.

With the money he stole from the security guard the other night, Joe and Kurt were able to pay to use some computers in a cyber cafe that they went to. They sat by the transparent glass window, logged in to the systems and began going through the catalogues, trying to find anything about a missing child from seventeen years ago, or records of orphanages in Boston. After two hours of searching, they couldn't find anything at all. "This is so frustrating! It's almost like I was dropped off at the orphanage by aliens who went back to their planet. There's nothing at all, Kurt." Joe said in annoyance. "Let's just keep searching," Kurt said, "We'll find something, I know it."

It was so pathetic it almost made me laugh. Once I had a lead, everything else came easily. Using Milton's birthday, his lucky number, and even a work ID he had once used, I pieced everything together. After an hour, I managed to find his secret social media account. His profile picture was a close-up of his hands on a steering wheel, and his profile name was a combination of his and that woman's birthdays. The most recent post was chilling. [A buried rose will one day be lifted by the spring rain and bloom again. My love, the source of my longing—she has been waiting for me all along.]

out of everything why mushrooms? "Well hello there Alpha Jackson...." One of the rogues stated. I knew that voice...where did I know it from? "Oh great...." I muttered as the rogue laughed maniacally in front of me. I definitely knew this guy. But why had he come now?

Deagan laughed, wiping the slobber off his face. “Misterio… Mist, for short.” Deagan eyed her strangely. “That’s very different, any reason?” Hazel asked and Aria smiled at the grey-eyed cuteness. “Misterios means Secrets in Spanish.” Deagan caught on easily while others remained in the dark, no one asked her to elaborate. “Well then Mist, come meet your uncle Aycin.” Aycin held his hands out and so he made his way down the table, receiving rubs and kisses. “Little attention lover, isn’t he?” Aria laughed at Deagan’s words.

But curiosity is a wicked thing. My thumb betrays me the moment our call ends, and the browser opens like a door I should never step through. At first, it’s harmless, soft baby videos, silly memes, random cooking clips. Then the internet shows its claws. A thumbnail catches my eye. A commentator’s face lit with excitement, the kind people have when gossip tastes better than food. I tap it. And the world tilts. “Rumor has it the king’s mystery woman will be turned into a concubine. Honestly, what else could she be?”

He lowers his head as he readies himself. "Well, now... are you prepared to face my pets? Dear Xylus?" the Queen asks before an enchanted circle appears on the floor behind Xylus. A monster came out of the magic circle, it didn't have any feet. Its two hands are enormous, with sharp poisonous claws in each finger. It has four fingers in one claw and five in the other. It has a spiked tail with poison dripping from each spike. The monster is covered with dark tar that drops every time it moves. Its four eyes are big, mouth large enough to swallow a whole car. It has rows of teeth that are as sharp as a sword.
