《Transported Warlock》


 1 Edwin

    I WILL TORTURE YOUR SOULS!!!!! Edwin yelled before the light hit him. Many things going through his mind as the light mages started the "Obliterating God Formation". This is how my life will end, what was the point of gaining power if I couldn''t even save myself."


    Edwin thought, As his life flashed before his eyes. All the perils he faced all the struggles to get to the top just fall back down. When his once thought comrades betrayed him and sold him out to the"Light Association" for benefits.


    Edwin was the most powerful and youngest Warlock in his era. He conquered millions and killed millions who stood in his way on his quest for power. Many countries would try anything please him, many kings and high nobles alike would bow and do his bidding.


    All sorts of young girls and women would beg to be one his many wives, even it was just to be a concubine. Sadly his life ended after a couple of breaths due to his old enemies.


    In an alleyway, a tall thin teenager was lying on the ground all bruised up surrounded by five shady looking men. " Stupid a$% you don''t pay up we''ll break your f%&*^ legs," one man said as he kicked the passed out youth. After a couple of minutes going through his belongings.


    The teenager opened his eyes as he bellowed "I WILL TORTURE YOUR SOULS!!!!!" The group saw this they were caught off guard, then began to laugh at him. " I think he got hit too hard what do you think this is some fantasy or something!" said one of the men laughing so hard he was almost out of breathe. Edwin found it odd how these filthy mortals were making a fool out of him. "Is this hell?"


    Then an intense headache came and with the pain came memories that started to flood his mind but not of his.


    He''s currently in of the body of an 18-year-old youth Edwin Lure and he lived in a city in California, on a world called earth no. This Edwin was a common rich kid with a sad backstory his parents died when he was 12.


    Before dealing with the loss of his parents, he did not care about anything and did whatever he wants whenever he wants it. Money was not the issue. His uncle became his guardian who was the CEO of a huge company.


    However he didn''t care about Edwin and treated him like dirt, the only reason his uncle even bothered become his guardian was due to the inheritance he and his brother would get.


    Soon he pampered his brother only because he was more talented in his studies, while Edwin didn''t even know his multiplication table much less study anything. Today he was coming back from a bar and was getting mugged was beaten to death that''s when his soul transmigrated into his body.


    " hmm poor kid well I''m in his body, better get vengeance against these dirty mortals for him is the least I could for this second chance at life." he thought while going through the memories of the former owner. Edwin didn''t like to owe people even though the soul of the former Edwin was gone he felt he owed him this much. "Now how to handle the current situation." he thought with a devilish smirk plastered on his face.

 2 To Ruthless!!!

    Edwin turned his attention to the thugs, as he thought about how to torture them for nearly killing him again. As he stood up pain started to envelop his being " this body is so frail and weak I still have mana due to my soul, so I should not waste to much power on these pieces of trash."


    he thought with killing intent surrounding him. The thugs started to feel cold sweat as the youth stood up staring at them with no emotion. As if the person changed he was not begging them not to hurt him instead he looked at them like they were dead men walking.


    " Which one of you hit me first," Edwin said coldly at the group, they were shocked for a moment but returned back to their senses. This was just the youth beat up now he''s acting arrogant to them " I did it what are you going to do you f$%^!@ punk!"


    the tallest of the group said sneering walking toward Edwin without a care. " Good I''ll let you die slowly." he said look at the tall thug, the thug stopped for a moment then chuckled " Ha I was told to cripple you but now I want to end you for being a smartass,"


    he said as he took out a switchblade from his pocket. " I cut you up real good." the thug said while waving the knife in front of Edwin. To his surprise, Edwin was still composed even with the threat of a weapon.


    The leader got irritated by how calm he was " You f^&^& kid eat this." he said charging at Edwin. The rest of his gang watched in entertainment, but the next scene changed their expression from satisfied smirks to ones of shock.


    The weak kid they almost beat to death with unmatched speed dodged the knife and kicked it out the hand of their leader.


    The next scene left them even more confused as the kid ruthlessly delivered a powerful kick to his nether region causing him be frozen. In place grabbing onto his mandibles while tearing up before collapsing to the ground foaming at the mouth.


    " Pathetic mortals know your place." he calmly said with no emotion glaring at the other thugs that had shocked expression. Now his gaze was now on them, as they stared at him his expression void of emotions a chill ran up their spine. They then took the situation seriously " Get this f^*^$" the four remaining thugs rushed towards as Edwin uttered "FOOL!" he grabbed the knife that he kicked like a specter he dashed towards them with astonishing speed. He swiftly slashed the throats of the four thugs. The remaining confused expression stayed on them not even how they were killed.


    "Even at the lowest stage I''m still able to take care of few pieces of trash with only using a little bit of mana." a smirked formed as he thought but then returned emotionless.


    He suddenly closed his eyes as white orbs flew from the four corpses and onto him he hears the pleading and screaming of the souls were absorbed into his body. The wounds on his body healed in seconds with the feeling more mana coursing through him.


    " That''s better I feel recharged, alright first things first who set this up, this was not your average mugging if it was they''d probably killed me at first sight and the leader said he was ordered to break my legs but by whom?" he contemplated for moment before walking to the passed out leader he places his right index finger on the leader''s forehead a dark luminescent light slowly entered the leaders forehead.

 3 Magic and Stages

    Edwin was pleased to find out his mana worked perfectly well in this world. In his old world there used to be many witches and warlock of many variants. Some could summon lightning from the very sky, flood a city with hurricanes, even shoot fireballs the size of a small country.


    Each type of wizard had their own titles, for example, Elemental types can summon different types of elements and element based creatures. Runesmiths and make protections runes and offensive runes, as well as traps that can even stop dragons or create barriers and so on The titles, tell what type and what they are proficient at.


    Though all beings have a talent for all elements it just that they have an affinity for ones than other. Like if a fire-based warlock tried to use water-based magic it takes double the mana and it would be a waste to use.


    Edwins title was following the dark arts in other words Necromancy.


    Necromancy was one of the most mysterious types of magic that existed in his world. Not many dabbled in the dark arts of Necromancy so it was unpopular route because the conditions just to be one was rare and even harder to master.


    Though the power was well worth it. The abilities acquired were dark and powerful. Such as instantly healing by absorbing souls to heal life-threatening wounds and refill mana, reanimate corpses stronger than when they were alive to fight for you, firing twisted flames that leave not even the soul, and so on.


    Though the most important two aspects are that ascending the stages of magic is a breeze for necromancers, all they had to do is kill and absorb souls.


    While others warlock and witches had to get rare potions and materials which is difficult and could even lose one''s life in the process. The second was mana recovery which allowed Edwin to recover mana in seconds. This also allows him to use all the other magic he is not talented at such as fire or summoning magic and so on. Which got him to be the strongest warlock in his world.


    In the past, he was at stage 11 warlock the pinnacle if not for the betrayal of his so-called friends he would not have been killed so easily. Each stage had three levels to it low, mid, and peak.


    Each stage had its own benefits and importance like stage one allowed the user to have mana flow throughout the body which strengthens the body to superhuman levels and being able to use some simple basic magics such as "mind manipulation","elemental casting", and also summoning low leveled creatures and so on.


    This explains how he swiftly took down the thugs as if they infants. It helps that he has past fighting experiences in which he trained in many forms of combat magic related or not.


    He now used the basic spell " healing touch" to revive the leader to get info from him. He used the spell as the dark enchanting light entered the leader''s body fixing any damage. A couple seconds later the leader''s eyes opened and he shot up confused for a moment then looked at the ground where there were four corpses as he looked he noticed they were his comrades. Before he could utter a word a voice broke the silence " Had a good night''s sleep?" the eerie voice asked behind him.

 4 Culprit!?!

    The thug''s face turned pale when he saw Edwin''s face looked like he was going to s@#$ himself. Which Edwin thought was funny so he let out a chuckle that scared the thug even more. He looked at the thug with a captivating smile and said


    " Hey if you tell me who''s behind this I''ll only torture you a little bit," he said joyfully while giving him a good-natured thumbs up at him.


    "The hells wrong with your kid, why would I tell you the only bargaining chip that''s keeping me alive!!!" the thug hastily yelled this while backing away hoping Edwin wouldn''t notice, but of course he did and he said " Great I tried a nice way so better do it the fun way."


    As he cast mind manipulation Edwin''s black eyes started to change to a charming luminescent green as he stared at the thug his sense of movement suddenly went limp he grew hazy, as he started to get entranced by those captivating eyes willing to do anything to please them.


    "Now tell me who the one that wanted to cripple me?" Edwin demanded waiting for a response the thug looked like he wanted to say something but couldn''t hey managed "he''ll... kill meˇ­" "Who will, who is he!?" hey yelled as his green eyes glowed brighter than before


    " his name is ˇ­. Ryan...Lureˇ­" the man collapsed to the ground panting like a dog. Edwins gave a shocked expression soon remained calm again and his eyes dimmed and returned back to normal "Thanks for the info I''ll keep my end of the deal."


    edwin gave him another cheerful smile as he raised his fist towards the thug " wait please don''t i''m sorˇ­.." but before he could continue he was strongly punched in his chest, as blood spurted out of his mouth he hit the floor, before he could recover his ugly face was lifted up by the hair.


    As he was met with punch after punch from Edwin. soon after about a good long five minutes, the miserable thug looked unrecognizable that even his own mother wouldn''t recognize him. His blood covered face was completely swollen and covered in bruises, also his mouth was either toothless or had chipped broken teeth, his eyes were that of a broken doll tears dripping down his face cover in snot as he mumbled incoherently.


    " huh what a wuss couldn''t stand five minutes of torture" he spoke aloud looking down at the now broken thug "no wonder he sucks at robbing people, pathetic trash!" he thought condescendingly as he slashed the thugs neck with the switchblade, he then closed his eyes as the spirit of the thug was absorbed into him "BOOM!"


    a shockwave surrounded Edwin''s body, his previous thin frail body had become taller and muscular his skin was smooth and white like jade his face looked handsome and complemented his deep black eyes that oozed out the charm.


    "Great I''m now low stage 2 I can now use Barrier spells and can now make rank 10 runes" he said with glee at stage 2 warlocks get more vitality for the body which increases mana storage and healing ability in the body and also gives more power to spell making them quicker and stronger than before.


    As well as unlocking barrier spells such as "Shadow shield" and"Reflection." Though the most important aspect was the ability to craft runes now!" he thought in satisfaction.

 5 Leaving the Scene of the Crime

    As Edwin was happy at the fact he could cast Runes his excitement was cut short, due to the sounds of sirens in the distance streets followed by the flashing blue and red lights. Heading towards his direction " Sh*t!!!"


    Edwin cursed as saw the far lights heading his direction. Edwin was not afraid of government because he knew in time he would be able to topple down entire countries.


    once his power was restored, but currently, he did not even have the power to face armies let alone nukes. So he had to lay low. " I don''t have time for this pesky bug''s I better clean up fast"


    He thought as he recovered what he could from the corpses which in total was 500 dollars he then dragged the corpse into a pile, lifted his arm and cast " Soul Burn " on his palm a violent green flame was generated, as it launched itself at the pile of corpses. The corpses were devoured by the flames in seconds even the ashes where burned.


    The ground looked clean as if nothing was there, to begin with. " Great that takes care of that, and people say I''m a messy person."


    Edwin chuckled to himself as he burned the switchblade on his hand as it was burned to nothing. He then cast the necromancer spell cast "Shadow Form" which lets him blend with the shadows of the night making hard for anyone notice him.


    A large shadow covered his body like a blanket making him look apart of the darkness in the surrounding area. He then escaped in the other direction of the lights in into the long and empty streets.


    Just as he did a police car pulled over at the alley Edwin was in. Two police officers got out of the car one was skinny and the other fat, the duo were called about noise complaint so they were sent to out to check the area. The fat one looked around agitated


    " Damm*t Dave there''s nothing here, those bast*rds at department better not be playing a damn joke, I was supposed to be with my beauty of a wife today !"


    the fat one yelled out, " Hey I''m p*ssed too Eric I gave up a date with a hot chick for this bullsh*t!!!" Dave screamed as tears rolled down his eyes. He wanted to curse the prankster that pulled this sh*t on him and rip him to shreds "What is this Apr*l F*cking Fools!"


    The two officers both seemed miserable got out of there like a madman back to the station due to anger. Little did they know that the person who did this to them was a mile away from them if they knew they would have coughed up blood at the fact.


    Edwin got out of there and stopped in a near restroom at a park and turned off "Shadow form" he then went to a motel and paid for a night there which cost thirty-five dollars, he took a quick shower and fell on the bed to rest. Too many things happened today he had to assert his thoughts and what better way than sleep he would just handle it tomorrow with a calm mind.

 6 Rune upgrade

    Edwin woke up at around five in the morning, he took a shower and put his clothes and started to contemplate what to do. He decided to focus on runes first since they were the most useful. He was joyed that he can make runes now, runes were symbols made by using mana and were activated by mana like a battery all you had to do is recharge them with mana.


    Runes can be made by using normal objects so it can be made with anything though the quality of the object can strengthen the properties of the runes.


    Like if you were to compare a sports car to a junk car you know which would run smooth. Runes had all sorts of properties not just for offensive and defensive, for example, he can apply a void rune on a ring or bag to make the object have a small pocket dimension so he can store many things in it.


    The higher of level the stronger the rune comparing rank 1 to rank 10 runes was like comparing heaven and earth rank 1 runes can even bring people literally back from the dead if the soul was not gone, but that for another time.


    Edwin thought to enhance himself by applying runes to his clothing and items he first applied a speed rune to the bottom of his sneakers which increased his movement speed by 2 times of his ordinary speed.


    He then drew a defense rune on his on his white T-shirt that would cover his body with a thin transparent barrier if an attack from any direction for 2 minutes a day.


    On his black hoodie he put a strength rune which doubles his strength by 2 times, and on his belt, he put a puppet rune which would let it come to life momentary and protect him from any enemy near him for 3 times a day.


    Last he added element shielding runes and a cleaning rune to all to all the all his clothing.


    The elemental shielding protected his clothes from the elements so his clothes couldn''t get damaged by normal elements such as fire or water and so on, which basically means he can stand in the rain and not a spec would touch him.


    " Now I''m fully armored up for now a least, hmm come to think of it I didn''t check what this kid had in his pockets better take a look in case there''s something important" after checking the pockets he found some useful things such as his ID card, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, and a cellphone.


    It looks like that the Edwin from before was a chain smoker, and has passed his addiction to the current Edwin. "Dammit, kid didn''t your parents teach you not to use drugs!!!."


    he thought cursing at the old host if the old host heard him would cough up blood from frustration because his parents died when he was young. Edwin figured out all the previous behaviors and vices of the old host were left in the body now he''s stuck with them.


    Anyway afterward he drew his attention the phone he check to see the few missed calls from his Uncle, brother, and a friend name Jay. he called his uncle to see what he wanted


    " Where are you stupid brat you were supposed to be here by 12:00 at night!! He screamed his ear out " Oh sorry I forgot the time I was at the bar and was too drunk to make it home." he meekly said, Edwin had to lay low which meant acting the part of the old Edwin for now at leastˇ­

 7 Who are you???

    " I don''t care for your excuses! you better do as I say and get the hell to school or I kick your lazy good for nothing ass out! " his uncle Peter yelled out through the phone.


    Edwin''s anger started to swell up, he was a genius warlock in the past and this lowly person had the audacity to yell at him! " Yeah sure I''ll be there," he said controlling his boiling anger " I expect you to or else!"


    Peter said before hanging up, his uncle Peter was very cold towards the old Edwin he would not care for him because his lack of potential in academics he favored his brother who exceeded in education. Speaking of brothers he remembered what that thug said


    " hmm why would he try to cripple me?" the person in question that hired to cripple him the person in question was his older brother Ryan Lure in the old memories of his brother was always supportive and old tried soothe his uncle''s anger when he would use Edwin as a punching bag to vent out anger.


    Too bad the old Edwin could not see the facade, Edwin was a thousand-year-old warlock that had all sorts experience of betrayal so he saw through all the facts. He had a couple of reasons why Ryan would do this, for example, the inheritance his parents left for the both of them if he were to die he would inherit the other half from Edwin.


    "It would make sense he didn''t want to do the deed himself so he hired those thugs to cripple him and probably commit suicide from the misery of not being able to walk again." he thought to himself a perfectly reasonable suggestion, " Anyway I won''t let you off the next time I see you." he chuckled killing intent in his eyes. Edwin did not go to school right away he stopped by a jewelry store and bought a silver ring.


    He then went to a secluded street and cast the void rune on it, the ring could now store a small closet worth of things in it. As he walked near his high school he suddenly realized many female students were staring at him with a blushed expressions but he didn''t mind and just continued on his way to class.


    Apparently, all the female students couldn''t resist staring at his charming face and tried to figure out who this was.


    He was outside his classroom and walked to his surprise the hustle and bustle of noise became quite a soon as he entered everyone stared at him in amazement especially the girls of his class. Again he did not care for the attention, so walked towards his seat as he walked he heard the random whispers of the students "who is that?" " he so handsome!" " Maybe he''s a transfer"


    many random assumptions came back, next to his seat sat a student with long black hair and was wearing glasses, Edwin stopped and asked


    " Hey, Steve can you let me borrow your math book I forgot mine at home?" Steve looked at him oddly " Do I know you and how do you know me?" he asked puzzled staring at me " don''t you recognize your longtime friend time friend?" he jokingly said which made Steve even more confused " It''s me Edwin" he said matter of factly, steve''s eyes went wide open in shock, not just him all the other students where dumbfounded as well " Your Edwin!" he yelled out in shock

 8 Trouble at school!!!

    "Of course it''s me who else could it be," Edwin said rolling his eyes, Steve was one of the old Edwin''s best friends the others were Fred and John.


    Fred had different school schedules and John goes to another school but they get together to hang out for movies and for killing time.


    Ever since they''ve met they always have a great time. The current Edwin didn''t mind making these guy his friend the reason is that no matter what they always stuck by the old Edwin. Such as spotting him when he was low, talking about dramas that have been happening in there home, and even saving his life once from a rabid rottweiler.


    Thus he could confirm that the friendship they had was genuine and not fake so he decided to accept them as his own friends. " What happens to you look taller and well built what did you get a super soldier drug or something!" Steve exclaimed hysterically pointed at him accusingly " I guess I got a growth spurt haha" he chuckled warmly rubbing the back of his head.


    " oh yeah, what about your face!" Steve asked "What about my face?" he questioned Steve playing dumb " it looks handsome like an actor or a f*cking model!" he said "Oh thanks for the compliment," Edwin said with a smirk "COMPLIMENT YOUR MOTHER!" Steve cried a little inside. Before Steve could respond they heard someone yelling outside.


    "Hey Steve get your *ss out and pay up!" someone with an annoying voice yelled. Steve suddenly tensed out looking nervously they both looked out the window to find out who was damn yelling. They saw a rough looking man with short hair in a suit and tie condescendingly smirking next to him was a buff bald fat guy in a wife beater and jeans holding a bat. He looked intimidating the duo were standing at the front of the entrance to the school.


    The skinny school security guard was hiding behind a tree shivering thinking " F*ck my life man, I just have pepper spray what is that going to do against a f*cking bat!"


    As they saw what was happening Edwin asked Steve who were these people were he responded " they are loan sharks trying to get the money I owe them " Steve laughed nervously " why do you owe them?" Edwin asked " I was trying to do my genetic mutation experimentsˇ­" he chuckled lightly


    " Oh trying to make a lamia again huh typical Steve" Edwin sighed, Steve was a big fan of fantasy novels especially one that contained lamia or reptile type humans. so he spent much time trying to make fantasy into reality. so he studied very very very hard on genetic splicing and mutations to the point it would make the veterans of the study cough up blood from the frustration of an 18 teen-year-old knows more than them so far nothing has been successful but he did make a four-winged lizard.


    the old Edwin did ask how he made it once but Steve just shrugged and said "somethings are worth not knowing ..." he chuckled evilly, giving the old Edwin a good reason never to ask about his experiments again. "So lemme guess you do not have the cash to pay them?" " Yeah, I''m screwed, dude!" Steve said tearing up " well don''t worry buddy I''ll handle it." Edwin said with glee while raising up a good-natured thumbs up.

 9 A Good Natured-Thumbs-Up?

    " What are you going to do seduce them with good looks," Steve said rolling his eyes.


    " seduce my *ss!" Edwin yelled in fury, he then stopped and looked at his nervous friend and said with confidence " don''t worry I have a plan just leave it to me but you owe me a drink"


    he then left the classroom after saying that leaving Steve with a look of concern " Sh*t he''s so gonna die!" Steve thought to himself.


    After a while, he could be seen walking happily toward the school entrance with as if those two intimidating men were his old buddies.


    " who the f*ck are you." the bald fatso screamed eyes shooting daggers at the young man in plain old clothing. " I heard you''re looking for my friend" Edwin calmly said with a smile " This got nothing to do with yˇ­." the man was cut off by the suited man with a wave of his hand


    " were here just to collect what we are owed, are you here to pay for your friend?" the man said with a polite smile but with cold eyes. " you could say that how much does he owe? Edwin asked " Nothing much justˇ­ two million" he said nonchalantly as if the amount was nothing in his eyes. " F*CKING STEVE!!!" Edwin cursed inwardly.


    " I have to tell you the bad news, both of us do not have that much so why don''t the both of you f*ck off to your mother''s and get out of my sight!." he said with a charming smile, the two men were furious "what type of brat would ever say such thing to them it would not calm their anger unless they beat this damn brat, nobody messes with our mothers!"


    they both thought, " ENOUGH! Darin teach this f*cker some manners and break his bones!" The man in the suit hissed out in anger to his friend " I''d be happy to John!


    He said with a wicked expression on his face running toward Edwin with the bat at hand ready to strike him down without a doubt all the students looked at the whole incident through the window many thinking different thoughts. The male students thought " That guy is going die F*CK YEAH!" the females thought " DON''T AIM FOR HIS CHARMING FACE!" and even his friend Steve thought " Brother thanks for being my meat shield, I will avenge you with my cult comrades!"


    Oh, Steve is part of a cult that worships a certain tentacle entity just putting that out there for everyoneˇ­


    The students all turned when the bat was going near is him and then "CRACK" a bone-crunching sound echoed throughout the entire school but when they turned to the scene they all turned tongue-tied,the big baldie was screaming on the ground like a pig being slaughtered.


    He was holding onto his arm which was bent the other way, the bat that the baldie was holding was now at the hands of Edwin looking like a handsome devil who had charmingly evil grin and for some reason, he had a gesture of good-natured a thumbs up pointing at the suited guy!

 10 Stop Hitting yourself!!!

    The suited man looked confused on to what happened it looked like Darin was gonna beat the kid in one minute and in the next his friend had a f*cking broken arm!


    The suited man knew that it was Edwin he thought that maybe he took some sort of self-defense class or something and took down Darin. Darin was no pushover he did serious underground fighting to the point where he was among the top ten. How could Darin get beat by a f*cking kid!


    The students and teachers watching were shocked at how Edwin broke the huge bald man''s arm they were thinking different thing.


    The guys with open jaws shouted " The F*ck!" the girls with star stricken eyes shouted" So Manly!" Steve shamefully said out loud " That''s my bro I know you could do it!" he said Matter of factly with a smirk, pretending he did not already plan a funeral arrangement for Edwin! The crowd behind Steve "..." said nothing but thought about Steve in one word " SHAMEFUL!!!" They did not say it out loud in fear Steve would tell Edwin to kick their *ss.


    Edwin then pointed a good-natured thumb towards the suited man named John. " hey how about we have a nice chat."


    Edwin started to slowly approach the suited man. When the suited man heard that chill went down his spine, he started to panic his friend was on the ground hurt and he could do anything himself all he had was a pistolˇ­


    "THE PISTOL!!!" John thought how ridiculous he was for panicking when he had a pistol on him he pulled out the pistol from his inner pocket and aimed it at Edwin. " Don''t f*cking move or I''ll shoot!" he yells at Edwin cocking the pistol. Edwin stopped in his tracks


    " Sh*t a gun! Damn, I could take care of him in a pinch but to many eyes are watching to use spells" Edwin pondered on what to do.


    Due to Edwin sudden halt John thought he was scared of the gun in his hand, which gave John more confidence as he laughed crazily. " HA, you should not have messed with me kid I''m gonna put a hole on you!"


    John said walking near Edwin and pointing at Edwin''s head. He then waited for Edwin to beg for mercy or to p*ss himself but none of that happened. What did happened was that the young man had an arrogant smirk on his face. " You know what I think you would look great in a belt!" he said as small light shined from Edwin''s belt " The hell you talˇ­" the man was cut off by what looked like a belt wrapping around his neck like a snake.


    He struggled to get the damn thing off his neck but to no avail, in fact, the more he struggled the more it got enraged at him. The belt started to slam him against the pavement whispering to him " Why you hitting yourself?" the man shrieked in horror as he noticed there was a human eye on the belt he would have thought it was an illusion if not for it blinking and whispering the same thing " why you hitting yourself!" " Mommy!" the man shouted in dismay

 11 The Choking madman???

    When the teacher''s and students saw the John pull out a pistol they started to panic. The teachers couldn''t do anything except lock the doors and call the police which they did, as soon as they saw the two strange men, but the police haven''t arrived yet!


    They did not know what to do and thought that Edwin would be dead by then. What they did not expect was that as soon as the man was inches away from Edwin. Everyone who thought Edwin was gonna meets his end and get shot to death were shocked.


    To find a moment later it looked like John grabbed Edwin''s black belt and dropped his gun choking himself with it! " What the hell''s wrong with this guy!" a random student shout as they saw the crazy John slamming himself against the pavement.


    " I think he''s what you might a call a masochist?" added another student, when they heard the comment all the male student shivered in horror while staring warily at the man hoping never to encounter him their lives. As this was happening Edwin made sure to grab the gun and stealthily put it in his void ring.


    "For safekeeping ,I had to get the gun away from the supposed (Masochist)and also he could use it and not waste any mana" Edwin thought as he was doing the deed, after he turned to see John still bashing his head against the floor though now his combed back hair was disheveled and he was bleeding badly on the top of his forehead.


    " Alright Beltony you could stop now, If you kill him now it just be troublesome." he stealthy ordered his belt Beltony, which he named on his way to school. Beltony cutely nods its leathery head and complies without a second thought loosens and hangs on Johns'' neck.


    John is left there desperately gasping for air, he turns his head looking at the approaching Edwin fear in his eyes when looking at Edwin as if looking at a grinning devil. He regretted ever having to come, John was cursing out his boss for sending to this damn place! First, this kid somehow broke Darin''s arm now sent a belt of death to nearly finish me off, what would others say if he died by a damn living belt!


    " Stay back youˇ­ F*CKING DEMON or you''ll regret it!" he screamed and threatened Edwin slowly crawling away with fear all over his eyes. Edwin responds back with a chuckle and lifted him up by the neck with ease and started to slap his face severely. He stopped after a couple minutes and the man looked like he passed out and then secretly used.


    "healing touch" and started slapping again until the man passed out again and did this for a couple of minutes. Afterward, he did not heal him from the bruises and slammed his face on the floor. (CRUNCH) a sound of bone snapping was heard it look like the slam broke the man''s nose. He lifted next him and shouted


    " Hey one thing you gotta know about me is that hate three things, one people who threaten me, two people that threaten my loved ones, and three people that piss me off! He yelled at the man who was crying like a child. " You already have two strikes now tell me who your boss is or else I''ll have to be moreˇ­ creative" Edwin said with innocent looking smirk full of killing intent in eyes directed at the man.

 12 Please Arrest Us!!!

    Under the heavy pressure coming from Edwin''s vicious gaze, John''s mentality collapsed and he felt utter despair awaited for him if he upset this wicked devil! " Alright, I''ll tell you just don''t kill meˇ­" John said pitifully pleading Edwin, ( didn''t even plan toˇ­ at least with this many people watching me) Edwin complained in his thoughts.


    John then revealed everything about his boss and where she works were she lives, works, her connections in the black market, and even what kinks she''s into... (the last part wasn''t important). It turns out John is the secretary to his boss and Darin whos is still hollering on the ground is the muscle, and they go and "retrieve" the loans people owe them.


    Oh, their boss is a woman who goes by the nickname "Little Monster", Which John thought it was a strange title to be called. Soon after John''s confession Edwin let him go, and went towards Darin''s side putting stealthily put away the wooden bat, he had a great idea on what to use the bat for


    . Edwin then grabbed Darin''s broken arm, " Stop leave me alˇ­" he begged but it was too late "SNAP!" Darin hollered in pain as Edwin had snapped his arm back into place.


    Edwin did this for to reasons so that when the cops come they will think it was just him defending himself from two able-bodied men and the second to stop this b*tch from yelling it was starting to annoy him.


    ( You got a broken arm so what!) he thought to insult about Daring he finally stopped yelling and looked terrified at Edwin.


    A couple of seconds later two officers came walking to the scene one was fat the other skinny. It was the two cops that were the crime scene before it was none other than officers Eric and Dave.


    " Dammit Dave I hope this isn''t another f*cking prank call again, I''m mad enough that I''m sleeping on the couch If f*ck up again my wife is going to kick me out of the house and not before beating me with a rolling pin again!" Eric said full of both anger and fear in his eyes


    " At least you got it easy you already have a wife, while handsome me doesn''t have jacksh*t the girl I was with cussed me out in front the entire restaurant even though I tried to explain she dumped on the spot!" Dave said with despair as he collapsed on all fours looking miserable. "Get up you, we got a job to do!" Eric complained towards Dave as he lifted him up to his feet.


    When the duo arrived what the saw left them dumbfounded they saw to grown men cowering in fear in front of a student. One was a fat bald guy and the other looked like a madman in a suit and a belt hanging around his neck.


    his face was bleeding out heavily and his nose looked to be broken. The the two men saw the police officers and with pleading eyes, they ran towards them and put up there their hand. " Thank goodness your here take me away from this DEMON! please handcuff me PLEASE!!!" they both begged the cops.

 13 Its The Truth officer!!!

    The two cops were surprised by the current situation that was happening." The hell''s wrong with these guys! They want to be arrested on purpose what are masochist?!"


    they both thought in unison about these weirdos who were honestly giving them the creeps. " alright what''s going on here?" Eric asked both Darin and John. " Officer allow me to explain" the young man calmly said to Eric " alright explain kid"


    well, you see these two strange men two attacked me without any warning and then they started to beat each other for no reason especially the suited man name John who beat himself to the pavement ?"


    Edwin said pretending to be innocent "beat each other our * ss, you did this to us you damn Demon!" John and Darin both thought almost coughing up blood from anger but did not dare to act on it knowing that Edwin would do worse to them, so they just unwillingly nodded their heads and agreed that what Edwin said was true.


    " do you have any evidence of this happening?" Dave said questionably at Edwin''s summary of the events.


    "of course the black belt around his neck is mine it has my name on it."


    Edwin said matter of factly, both officers slowly went and grabbed the belt around Johns'' neck to their surprise it had Edwin''s name on it which read "Edwin Lure" with this evidence it clears out Edwin''s story to some degree


    " Is there anyone who has witness this?" Eric asked Edwin


    When Eric spoke that all the student''s who were crowding the windows ducked down instantly they didn''t want anything with the police


    " Yeah, there''s a guy behind that tree over there."


    Edwin pointed at the still shivering school guard behind the tree. When the guard saw that Edwin was pointing at him cold sweat started slid down his back, " f*ck my life man!" the poor guard thought to himself.


    " Is everything he said true?" he asked the poor guard, he turned towards Edwin who looked calm but he what he saw made him panic, the thing that made him panic was that Edwin gestured a thumbs up in his direction.


    The guard knew that the thumbs meant bad news for whoever he pointed it too! " Yes everything he said is true extremely true!" he said panicky nodding his head so fast that it looked he was going dizzy.


    " Alright let''s book these two sick freaks, Dave," he said starting to handcuff the two who had expressions of ecstasy which gave both cop''s shivers down their spines.

 14 Going Downtown

    The two officer drove off with the supposed (masochist''s) to question at the station. After things cleared up Edwin went back to class. As he did none of his classmates got near him after what they saw the student''s got out of his way in case he gets irritated at them. When he made it to his classroom it was dead silent, everyone was staring at Edwin with shocked expressions on them.


    Especially Steve who looked at Edwin as if he were an alien. " What wrong?" he asked Steve " What wrong?! You just took down two men who were both armed and you''re asking me what''s wrong?!" Steve said in astonishment


    " how did you do it, a new form of nanobots tech, aliens, or portal''s to other worlds!" Steve crazily asked shouting hard to believe theories.


    "... yes I can''t hide it for long your right something odd did happen to me" Edwin admitted with a sigh


    " what!?" Steve asked in anticipation " I took self-defense classes" Edwin chuckled, " F*CK YOU, oh my beliefs shattered in a second''s!"


    Steven yelled sunk to the ground on all four depressed, the other students couldn''t help but chuckle at the odd scene.


    A couple of hours passed and school ended today was hectic, not for Edwin but for his teacher''s the reason he grown more intelligent than before, thus solved every answer and test given to with breeze.


    Afterward, some of the teachers were in awe of Edwin''s newfound vast knowledge and some would even take notes when he went to answer any question.


    The reason for this is because of his upgrade to stage 2 which increases the mental capacity of the user, so during class he read flipped through all the pages of the study books, which Steve so helpful shared, his knowledge of his otherworld helped as well. As the two were walking out of school they talked about how to handle the loan shark situation.


    " so Steve your situation will be cleared by today ill head over and have a good CHAT with them," Edwin said with annoyance " oh thanks dude I owe yˇ­"


    Edwin cut Steve off " owe me a 100$ and a drink," he said matter of factly "Why!?" Steve said feeling wronged " hey I''m helping you teaching you wisely advice," said Edwin honestly " what could that be?!"


    " that nothing is free also this is the last time you''re in debt ˇ­. Rightˇ­" Edwin glared at Steve when he said the last part " Yes sir!" Steve panicky saluted he cried a little inside thinking that his new loan shark was worse than his old loan shark!


    Afterward, Edwin and Steve went their separate ways, Edwin made his way toward the Downtown area on a taxi towards where John said his boss lived. The taxi stops outside of a run-down casino with people going in and out some sober other not. "This will be fun" Edwin thought with a devilish smirk forming on his face

 15 Chapter 15: The Fun Way

    Inside Casino


    The sign on the casino was barely hanging on from the roof, it was called The Dune. Inside the casino in a breakroom there was a man panicky pacing back and forth, the man wore a white tux and had short neat hair, he looked very worked up about something.


    " Dammit, f*cking Darin and John you f*ck up everything! you bastards have the nerve to give all the information about the boss to some random kid, now what do I tell the boss when she''s back from vacation"


    he yelled at the top of his lungs, the man in the suit is called Danny he is the 5th accountant of Little Demon. Normally whenever one of her men failed a mission she would enter a bloody rage and her way of handling the situation was a little out of handˇ­


    she would drag the person in question or any accountant against their will to a reinforced door before letting out blood-wrenching screams, only to be dragged out as a mummified corpse the next day. Just thinking about what he remembered gave him chills down his spine.


    "F*ck what do I do!" he thought to try to find a solution to his problem, as he didn''t want to be the next one to go through those doors! As he was pondering what to do one of his goons went into his break room, "Sir, the person who got the info from Darin and John is here!" " What! Kill him, use all the available men and under any means necessary!" Danny yelled


    When Darin and John got to the police station they called Danny about Edwin and gave a description of him and the thing he did to them. Danny didn''t believe Edwin was Dangerous but Danny was a cautious man he never let his guard down so he used all his available power to crush Edwin! He had to kill Edwin to calm down Little Demon when she returned it was him or Edwin and he chose Edwin to be his scapegoat.


    Casino Entrance


    As Edwin entered he felt someone was watching him, he turned and saw it was a female employee was talking on the phone. Edwin knew she was talking to her superiors about him, which was what Edwin wanted. He then went to the bar and ordered a cold shot of whiskey. " what better way to wait than by drinking a little" Edwin chuckled at the thought


    He knew soon they would arrive because of the info he got, so he decided to wait for them. As soon he was done drinking he saw that many of the customers in The Dune leaving in floods. The reason was that many armed men in suits with Uzis, pistols, and even a f*cking katana''s running in his direction from all sides.


    This scene reminded him of a movie the old Edwin saw about a person wearing a yellow jumpsuit who used a katana or something along those lines. Anyway, they slowly circled around him. A man in a white tux in the lead smirking condescending towards him. " Hey f*cking brat we have business to settle now you could kill yourself now or we''ll torture until you wished we killed you now decided which!" arrogantly threatened Edwin.


    He turned to him not surprised at the scene, in fact, he had an expression of contemplation then stood up.


    " Well if I had to pick ˇ­ I''d pick the fun way. He chuckled as his eyes revealed a huge amount of killing intent heading towards the men as if a monster was looking at its next meal.

 16 Chapter 16: Who Dares Hurt My Master!!!

    When Edwin turned his killing intent toward the group, they suddenly felt great dread as if they made a grave mistake in making this young man their enemy! Cold sweat traveled down their back including the leader Danny.


    Danny had been a seasoned veteran and had been feared in the black market, he had faced all sorts of gangs and loan sharks more times than he can count his fingers. However, this young man gave him the feeling of death.


    His instincts told him if he continued to anger him he would meet an end worse than death. Honestly, Danny thought his gut was wrong and it was just the words of the two idiots who are still in prison so he ignored it.


    " finish this quickly, I''ll be at the security room to watch the show, and remember making it as painful as possible and one of you might just be promoted." Danny''s cold voice traveled towards his men as he ordered and walked calmly through a metal door, which made a huge metal scraping noise as it snapped closed.


    There stood Edwin in the room surrounded by hundred or so rough looking men and slot machines. There was the silence of both sides as if waiting for the other to make the first move.


    Until an impatient thug with a scar on his face and katana took a couple steps. " what wrong with you guys he''s just a stubborn youth what do you think he thinks he is a DEMON!!! He laughed at his comrades who were being worked up over a kid who hasn''t even grown hair.


    Of course what he did not know he was the only one stupid enough not to notice the intense feeling of oppression his comrades felt.


    They didn''t tell anything towards the fool because they wanted to use him as a meat shield so they could know whether there was no danger so they could get the job done. The man than unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Edwin


    " Kid if things go well I''ll be promoted so stay still like a good kid and I''ll try to make painless" he said with a vicious grin going ear to ear. Edwin just stood there and said nothing but smiled blandly at him. This made the man angry as if he wasn''t being taken seriously by a kid!


    " F*ck it kid your dead!"


    he bellowed in fury slashing at Edwin. At this moment Edwin''s belt suddenly unbuckled and launched itself towards the man and wrapped itself around the neck of the man.


    " The Help.." he barely said as the belt was cutting away the oxygen that was entering his body. " How dare you try to hurt my master you ugly thing!"


    Beltony shouted at the man as it had a hostile stare at the man with its eerie one red eyeball. " Who are you calling THING you''re a damn belt!!!" the angry man thought, His friends freaking out at the weird sight three thug''s with swords went to help out the man but Beltony already saw them coming started to whipping their butt''s literary and figuratively, Two of them rolled on ground screaming in agony while the other one had an expression of ecstasy on his face?


    As the other thugs saw this it reminded them of a mother who found out her child robbed candy from the store ,some of the men even grabbed their own butt''s on reflex from seeing the horrifying scene.


    At this moment they woke up from their stupor and they aimed at Beltony who broke the neck of the thug and now saw itself surrounded by firearms. Beltony suddenly started to shiver and began to be teary-eyed, as if a child being bullied " wa!... master help me Wa!" Beltony began to cry like a child.

 17 Chapter 17: Weve Come To Serve!!!

    The group of men didn''t hesitate and instantly fired in Belton''s direction countless bullet shooting all over the place before they could reach, Edwin shot to Beltony''s side and grabbed him the bullets shot at him but due to his defence rune all the bullets ricochet off of him but Edwin knew he could not and took cover behind a slot machine. Sparks flying all over the place as well as the annoying DING! of the slot machine.


    " MASTER! You saved me!" Beltony happily said rubbing its cute leathery head against Edwin''s cheek.


    " It''s alright how about we go kill those damn bullies that will make you feel better," Edwin asked Beltony and it nodded in response.


    " I''m gonna make those F*CKERS cry back to their mothers!!!" Beltony shouted with newfound confidence. Edwin didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, " Didn''t you cry just a minute ago!" Edwin thought but kept it to himself.


    Anyway, Edwin needed to think of a way to protect himself from the bullets now that his protection rune was now not able to help? Then he heard footsteps in his direction as well as the reloading of several guns. "


    now! Go Beltony!" Edwin pointed at three gun-wielding guards " Yes Master!" Beltony cheered as he wrapped around the three men strangling them at the same time. Edwin then cast the necromancer spell "Litch Fist" A giant bone hand erupted from the ground and easily grabbed twenty men "CRUNCH!" the fist crushed them with mighty pressure squishing their innards outwards.


    " THE HELL IS THAT THING!!!" one of the men yelled in dismay as more men were grabbed and then swatted like flies in the same process. Many opened fire at the giant boney arm but the bullets had zero effect on it. "


    Kill the demon, he controls it. If he''s dead then it should go as well!" a random goon shouted and many thugs stopped shooting at the hand now aimed at Edwin.


    Before they pulled the trigger the giant hand covered Edwin deflecting the bullets. The "Lich Fist" spell wasn''t just an offensive spell but also a defensive that could switch from attacking enemies to protecting the user. The drawback to this was that it needed a couple minutes to switch from attack to defense.


    " you guys like teaming up against people, fine let''s see how you like it if I do it!" Edwin was then chanting another spell "Undead Life". All the corpses all over the place started to glow a green tint until suddenly in unison they all opened their eyes at the same time revealing glowing green eyes they all slowly stood up and kneeled before Edwin shouting " We''ve Come To Serve Master!" over 40 corpses waited for Edwin''s orders.


    All the men who were still alive started to panic at the scene and ran in all directions dropping their weapon''s trying to find the exits. They all thought that this new Demon makes Little Demon look like a saint compared to him!

 18 Chapter 18: Mana Sack

    The men ran crazily in all directions like headless chickens. When they saw their dead comrades being raised from the dead they were terrified and felt they needed to get out of there. Edwin then watched this scene and chuckled coldly


    " How cute they think they can run away welp time to kill, Slaughter all these rotten bas*ards!" Edwin Commanded the 40 undead thugs


    " YES, MASTER!!! They''re horrifying screams in unison as the undead grabbed the firearms off the floor and started to massacre everything and everyone in sight. They charged without fear towards the remaining alive thugs.


    The thugs started shooting at the now undead thugs but to no avail, they just kept charging at them as if they shot water guns at them. As they closed in, many started to bite and tear off the flesh of the thugs and were enjoying it like they were eating the most delicious thing in the world. They were soon overwhelmed by the swarm of undead and said their final dying words.


    " F*ck me what is this Res*dent F*cking Ev*l!!!" random thug A


    " " Help me!" random thug B


    " I don''t wanna die a virgin!!!" Random thug C


    Soon there was nothing left of the living thugs except for a few pieces of bone and flesh here and there. " Great job guys!" Edwin praised the undead warriors


    " We live to serve MASTER!" They cheered and celebrated in unison and then Edwin felt a slight tapping on his shoulder. He turned to see a sad limp giant boney hand.


    "Hey don''t think I didn''t forget about you big fella you did great out there" Edwin cheered up the Lich fist. It then became lively and grabbed Edwin giving him a bony hug.


    " hey ˇ­ I can''tˇ­ breatheˇ­" Edwin barley said as the hug was too tight. The hand let go apologetically " how about a fist bump from now on" he asked as they both fist-bumped each other the hand really enjoyed it and started to fist bump all the undead servants.


    " okayˇ­" Edwin watched the confusing scene.


    " Now thenˇ­" Edwin was prepared to absorb all the souls in the surrounding area, Edwin was in stage low stage 2 for him to ascend the stages he need''s a large amount of mana to fill his mana sack. The mana sack was a container inside the body. It''s like a balloon that needs air but instead of air it is mana, it fills with mana that is used for spells and is where people store their summoned creatures or undead.


    When Edwin came to Earth his soul barely clung to a bit of mana and most of his summons were lost in the process.


    By the way, he could get mana from doing many things like finding a rare mana plant or herb, mediating and absorbing the natural mana from the surrounding area. Though the one way that gives the most to Edwin is absorbing souls. The stronger the soul the more mana he get''s the higher he climbs the stages. Climbing the stages was important because with each comes access to more powerful spells and abilities.


    For example, once one reaches stage 3 they unlock two innate abilities based on one''s element for every 3 stages. like a blood mage who reaches stage three would unlock two innate abilities based on blood for example fangs and could rip through iron and could drain someone of blood in seconds. Edwin hoped he still would get his two old innate abilities because of how much fun he had with them.


    After some time thinking he was interrupted again this time he felt a tug on his waist. It was Beltony he was looking at Edwin teary-eyed.


    " Master sorry for being scared I''m useless aren''t eye."


    Beltony''s head drooped down. " Naw you were great out there in fact If weren''t for you I''d be full of lead by now," Edwin said with care patting Beltony leathery head


    " really?"


    "yes really"


    "YAY Beltony helped MASTER!" Beltony energetically cheered. Edwin smiled at the now happy belt and then walked to the middle of the bloody scene he then closed his eyes as countless bright orbs circled around him and were being absorbed into him

 19 Chapter 19: Twin Gifts

    The countless souls around the area all soared in Edwin''s direction. As they passed by countless screams and yells of agony could be heard reverberating around the casino.


    As the souls were absorbed inside Edwin''s Mana Sack it started to extend and condense all the new found power and the mana then gathered and started to take shape forming a green hexagon. On the green hexagon white points at each corner.


    All the point''s had faded light that was barely there like a candle about to extinguish any second. Soon the two top points started to burn vigorously with a burning red burn.


    Edwin''s expression of anguish could be seen as the reason for how the mana was burning through his very being trying to brand the two innate abilities. it was like branding yourself with a metal rod but a thousand times more painful.


    Despite the pain swelling around his body like venom he did his best to hold on his sanity from the utterly ravaging pain.


    Soon they started to dissipate and the red light''s started to dim down leaving two glowing red orbs. The two orbs had mysterious letters on them that seemed to come alive.


    Though the mysterious worlds gave it a mystical beauty to it.


    Along with the letters, there were carvings of a different image on the two. One had an image of a pair of skeleton wings and a cracked skull on the top, the other was a human silhouette inside a giant skeleton warrior.


    The innate skill of every warlock was called the twin gifts, for every three stages, the user will have access to two twin gifts. Born from the element of the user making the user more strong in the process and have access to quick and powerful innate abilities.


    Edwin''s Twin Gifts were Draining Bone Wings and Skeletal Steel Armor.


    Draining Bone wings is an offensive spell where two razor bone spikes come out of the user''s back, that can be used to attack opponents in a quick and efficient way while draining the opponent''s stamina.


    The wings can also be used to fly but the flaw is that it need''s mana to supply both flight and the draining process.


    Skelton Steel Amor is a defensive type that grows bones on the user''s skin protecting them from the physical and magical damage The drawback was that to protect from magical attack''s it needed a constant feed of mana to be activated.


    The drawbacks were no problem to Edwin who regenerates mana in practically seconds. So he could use both Twin Gifts with no problem which is why he loved them.


    Edwin barley stood on his two feet gasping for air and sweat covering his brow. His expression, however, was one of utter glee. " now I can protect myself from a thousand men without even batting an eye!" he joyfully


    He then turned and withdrew all his undead creatures back to his mana sack. He was about to take a step forward but he suddenly coughed up black blood and collapsed to the floor.


    " SH*T!!!" Edwin thought he forgot from the excitement about the backlash one''s body is left with and will go into a deep sleep for three weeks and will go mad with bloodlust when waking up.


    as Edwin was thinking what to do. he was starting to blackout " SH*TO hear police sirens and I forgot to kill the white tux man" Edwin was hoping not to wake up dead, " well I have two last dying words... F*CKING STEVE!!!" Edwin barely whispered before passing out.

 20 On Our Way!!!

    (Hey I just wanted to note a character name has been changed


    John one of Edwin''s best friends will be changed to Chris


    Please expect some name changes only for the other best friends later on but I will leave a note to tell you about it like this one, Thanks for reading the series.)


    Steve''s House


    In a one-story house in the living room, sat a young man with a beanie that covered his long black hair and was wearing black glasses with red lenses wearing dark blue jeans and a black T-shirt with an eye on it.


    He was sitting there eating Stayne Chips while watching TV. This, of course, was Edwin''s good friend Steve. He was watching a monster movie called MEGA LIZARD X RETURN OF THE INSECT''S KINGS. He was happily watching until a ringing in his front pocket interrupted him. It was his cell phone he checked who was calling it Fred.


    " Hello?" Steve answered


    " STEVE! You''ve got to turn on the news NOW!!!" Fred panicked told Steve


    " Why what happened?" Steve asked confused


    " Just change the damn channel!" Fred said pressuring


    " But I''m in the middle of a monster movie marathon..." Steve said complaining


    " Listen here you motherf*cker either you change the channel or I b*tch slap you the next time I see you" Fred politely said in a low voice.


    "..." Steve


    "I''ll be changing the channel now," Steve said changing the channel


    As soon as Steve changed it what he saw left his jaw dropped, it was the casino Edwin was gonna go to. Surrounded by police officers and the reporter was describing a shootout that happened and many of the officers were waiting on standby.


    Steve understood that the situation was dire, what if his best buddy was killed. He had to go there and check if he was alright.


    " Is that the place Edwin went to?" Fred asked


    " yeah that''s the place" Steve solemnly said


    " Sh*t what do we do!" Fred said


    Steve thought for a second on what to do to save Edwin, he needed to go there but he couldn''t save him on his own.


    " F*ck it, we''ll wing it we have to save Edwin we can''t abandon our buddy," Steve told Fred


    " Fine I''m coming too just pick me up and we''ll go get Chris on the way he''ll definitely be onboard."


    " Alright See ya later," Steve said hanging up


    " DAD! I''m borrowing the pickup truck!" Steve yelled across the room


    " Fine! Just don''t scratch it!" Steve''s Dad yelled back.


    Steve then went and grabbed his Dad''s car keys and ran to the garage and got in the car, slammed the car door and put the key in and drove out of the garage.


    "Hold on buddy were on our way," Steve thought as he drove off two the darkness of the street''s


    The Dune Casino


    In the monitoring room stood a man in a white tux he was there on the spot petrified his expression was one of extreme fear.


    Danny had planned to record the murder of the kid to please Little Demon because Little Demon was a paranoid freak. If any person was to know about her existence then she would silence them.


    If she wanted you to know who she was she''d tell you if she didn''t want you to know she''d kill you plain and simple. Though what Danny didn''t expect was that Edwin didn''t just slaughter all his like gutting a fish.


    He annihilated them as if nothing and even looked like he brought some of the men back to life and killed the men that were still breathing in a horrible fashion.


    Also, that weird giant hand that came out of the hand doing some kind of creepy ceremony on the undead thugs that looked similar fist bumping. Though the most terrifying of them all was a belt that strangled people to death!


    He was lucky to be in the safety monitoring room or else he would have ended up the same!


    He thought of escaping the place he''d rather answer to Little Demon than Edwin. Just as he was going to leave for his life something appeared on the screen that caught his interest.


    "Huh?"


    On the screen showed Edwin passed out on the ground in a pool of blood.


    "Is he dead?" Danny thought, if Edwin was dead then he could deliver his body to his boss. She told him if anything supernatural would happen to bring it to her. However, it would be rewarded handsomely by the boss.


    "This is my time to shine, I''ll just make sure he''s dead. I''ll wait a couple hours just to make sure I don''t plan on dying early," Danny thought in excitement at his new opportunity. He sat back down on the chair and waited with eager eyes.

 21 The Rescue

    At the Dune Cansino


    We find Edwin''s three friends in a white pickup truck stopped in the back of the casino, Steve was doing reconnaissanceˇ­ which was just looking through the windows with pair binoculars and was shocked to see a man in a white tux was dragging Edwin''s body towards another room.


    " Oh Damn it all guysˇ­" Steve said in anger


    " What?" Chris asked Steve


    " They ROOFIED him!" Steve


    "..." Chris and Fred


    " Gimme those!" Fred said taking the binoculars away from Steve he looked at the position Steve looked to his surprise there was a white tux man having a very tough time dragging what looked like Edwin''s body. To his relief he saw that he was breathing so that meant he was still alive.


    "HOLY SH*T!!! Steve was right, there''s a weird guy dragging Edwin into a room though he''s having trouble with the dragging part." Fred


    "Huhˇ­ that''s odd?" Chris


    "It''s damn right creepy that''s what it is," Fred said while getting a shiver up his spine.


    "Okay so here''s the plan guy''s I''m gonna run and grab Edwin and use his unconscious corpse to smack that white tux guy and then I''m gonna make a break for the exit" Fred


    "What do I do" Steve


    "Steve you do you" Fred


    "And Chris you do you too" Fred


    "Anyway, it''s go tiˇ­" Fred''s words were cut off, the white pick sped up in great speed and heavily smashed through the glass entrance like it was nothing, as pieces of shattered glass fell all over the place in a thunderous BOOM!


    "What the Fˇ­" before Danny could utter the whole sentence he was smashed against a wall being pinned then crushed to death, pieces of his organs were all over the once white truck which was now stained blood red and most of the front destroyed.


    "Fred I did me," Steve said scratching the back of his head in a carefree attitude


    "The F*ck! Are you trying to kill us!!!" Fred


    "Well I''m gonna pretend I was never hereafter this is done" Chris


    "Wait didn''t your Dad say not scratch it and isn''t the entire front messed up ?" Fred


    "Not just that it looks like it not even the right color anymore" Chris


    Steve''s faced looked at the car in dismay he then thought for a moment then smiled


    " Look what we did guys..." Steve said grabbing both their shoulders


    "Look what we did your *ss!!!" they both shouted at Steve in fury


    " Anyway I did the right thing he was dragging Edwin to a mysterious room and was gonna do who knows what to him," Steve said in righteousness


    " Alright we''ll settle this later now we grab Edwin and get the f*ck out of here!" Fred


    "Agreed" Chris


    "Let''s do this!" Steve


    They rushed outside and found Edwin on the floor and looked like he was breathing which was good. So everyone sighed in relief and started to carry Edwin.


    "Alright lift a little bit higherˇ­ no to the leftˇ­ lower to high to high dammit you dropped him again!!!" Fred said telling both Chris and Steve to put Edwin in the back but Edwin for some reason was very heavy no wonder the tux guy had trouble just dragging him.


    If Edwin were awake he would say it was due to his body transforming to stage 3 which gives him stronger and heavier bones and muscle.


    Which could now stop basic round''s from small firearms. As they tried things went bad as they dropped Edwin multiple times when he hit the floor he''d land on his head, though Edwin''s body was not hurt though to his friend''s it looked like he was going to get a concussion.


    It Was only after a few dozen attempts did they finally put him in the back of the trunk.


    They then all got in and sped off leaving the casino aside. What they did not know was that off in the distance there was a mysterious small figure looking in their direction.

 22 Little Demon

    The little figure stood there at the wreckage of what used to be a lively casino watching the direction the truck went in, the figure was a young woman with a slim figure who looked about to be in her 20''s.


    Though if anyone were to see her they would be able to tell that she was no normal woman. She had abnormally smooth white skin and was wearing a black and red dress, with red tinted reading glasses and had long red hair.


    She had an air of a ruler about her. If any person were to see her they would think she was a stunning beauty, though if you were to look her in the eyes you would be met with her cold and detached scarlet red eyes.


    " I leave for a couple of day''s and those dumb*ss motherf*ckers can''t look after the god d*mn place!!!" the woman said with fury in eyes swearing up a storm.


    Next to her were two people: a man with a blood red bat tattoo on his neck and a bulky frame and a tall black-cloaked figure in robes.


    "Master would you like me to handle itˇ­" the cloaked figure said in a voice which could not be recognized to be feminine or masculine.


    " No I need you to stay here and organize everything besides you should not waste your talents with ant''s I''ll let Jason handle it," she said ordering red tattooed brute to which he started quivering


    " Scarlˇ­" Jason


    The woman gave him a bloodthirsty look as soon as he was about to say her name


    " I mean... Little Demon I thinkˇ­"


    " I don''t order you to think now get your fat*ss moving and follow the b*stars that did this to my casino!!!" she growled in a low voice


    " But I don''t know what they''re drivingˇ­" Jason


    Little Demon turned and squinted her red eyes in the direction of the white truck, she could see a red truck from such a far distance. She could see three young men in the front seats arguing about something.


    (Oh! one now slapped the one driving in the neck, now the one driving slapped him back and now they''re in a slap fightˇ­ WHAT ARE THEY SNOT NOSED BRATS ACT YOUR AGE!!!) Little Demon


    ( They should act as calm and composed like me) she thought to herself as she watched the strange scene unfold


    "There is a red pickup truck going that direction, take the SUV and take them out!!!" She shouted to Jason while pointing the direction of the truck. Jason quickly nodded and left to go get the SUV but before taking a step, she said something that scared the wits out of him


    " remember if you fail I would not mind having you for dinner tonightˇ­" she said with a coy smile


    "UNDERSTOOD!!!" Jason squeaked before running to the SUV in fear. The reason was that he knew what his boss meant because his boss had a terrifying appetite for strange food mostlyˇ­ Human


    Little Demon stood there waving Jason goodbye but stopped and had an unsettled face on her


    "What is the matter master?" the cloaked figure


    " I could sense a rather disturbing presence coming from the casino," she said solemnly


    " May I ask what?"


    " It''s just a guess but I would have to sayˇ­ Warlock" she said narrowing her eyes

 23 Road Trip!!!

    5 miles away from the Casino


    In a deserted road was a lone red damaged pickup truck inside were four people who were arguing. It was Edwin and his friends.


    " what do we do now Steve!" Fred


    " Wellˇ­ to be honest I didn''t think we''d get this far"


    " YOU DON''T HAVE A PLAN!!!" Fred


    " It''s fine we''ll wing it right Chris"


    " To be honest I would have gone home by now but your my ride back" Chris


    "..." Steve


    "Fine, let''s think about what we do nowˇ­"


    The trio had gone silent for a moment when Steve remembered something.


    "My Dad owns a cabin in a wooded property we could go there and ride out the storm," Steve said


    "Perfect!" Fred


    "Great" Chris


    "Where is it?" Chris


    Steve''s expression became a little bitter


    "In Mexicoˇ­" Steve


    "..." Fred and Chris


    Chris and Fred went wide-eyed when they heard this, their faces went from shock to trembling. Not in anger but from unknown excitement.


    "Does this means what I think it means" Fred spoke with a somber expression


    " yes" Steve nodded in agreement


    "It was inevitable," Chris said seriously


    " The moment has comeˇ­ ROAD TRIP!!!" Steve said high fiving Fred and Chris


    " F*ck Yeah!" Fred


    "Cool" Chris


    " Wait what about school?" Chris


    " F*ck school!" Fred and Steve said in unison


    " Besides we''ll be back in no time." Steve


    " you do have a point" Chris


    " Onward to Mexico!!!" Steve shouted in excitement out the car window as he sped the truck up leaving a dust trail behind them.


    A couple miles behind them was a pink SUV inside was a bulky man with a red tattoo.


    Of course, it was Jason the Little Demons expert assassin he''s nickname was Thousand shot''s because he''d killed at least a thousand people using firearms.


    He was irritated at the task at hand, the reason cause they had a head start against him and he was way behind. What made it worse was that he was forced to ride a pink car!


    He was just about a bit behind from them when he took his signature saw off shotgun he then slowly aimed for the driver and had his finger on the trigger.

 24 A Talking Belt???

    Just as he was aiming his sawed-off shotgun at the driver, then the truck suddenly accelerated leaving a cloud of dust and dirt that made Jason miss his mark.


    "Sh*t!" Jason


    Jason thought as he put the pedal to the metal and chased after them. After a couple of minutes, he somehow manages to catch up to them. He then was about to touch the number of the car when the truck suddenly stopped and Jason''s pink car smashed against the truck making Jason who was not wearing his safety belt.


    Shoot out the window and now in front of the red truck bones twisted in places they should not be twisting.


    Three people came out of the truck with ashen expressions, looking at the mangled corpse in front of them. In fact, it looked so brutal that one of them threw up on the corpse!


    "The F*ck!!!" Fred screamed at Steve while grabbing his collar while shaking him


    " I just wanted to stop for a bathroom break!" Steve said getting dizzy from the shaking


    " We just killed someone!" Steve


    " We!?!" Fred


    " guysˇ­" Chris


    "You killed himˇ­" Fred


    "GUYS!!!" Chris


    "WHAT!" Steve and Fred


    " He''s not dead in fact he''s dragging Edward towards his car" Chris


    "WHAT!!!" Steve and Fred


    They then looked towards a blood-covered man dragging Edwin away in a pink car. Before opening the car door the trio witness a horrifying scene. As if by magic the belt Edwin was wearing came to life wrapping around the man''s neck choking him!


    " The ˇ­. f*ckˇ­." Jason managed to word out


    He was then slammed against the dirt floor where he saw that the black belt had a single blood-red human-like eye!


    A little slit opened up from the leathery head as words came out from it.


    "Why are you hitting yourself!" Beltony cutely said as if playing a fun game


    " Mommy!!!" Jason yelled


    "I wonder why they always say that?" Beltony did a thinking pose as she said this aloud


    As all this was happening the trio were locked in place dumbfounded at the strange scene. It was not long until Beltony finished the one-sided battle by smashing Jason through a window knocking him out cold.


    Beltony then slithered like a snake in front of the three surprised young men.


    " Umˇ­ hi thereˇ­ my name is Beltony it is an honor to meet masters friends'' '' Beltony stuttered nervously while bowing down to them respectfully. She was nervous because the only living being she''d come to know was Edwin and because of that she was kind of an introvert and shy.


    "Did that belt just talk?ˇ­" Fred


    " Yep, it didˇ­" Chris


    " Dude..." Steve


    They then suddenly rolled their eyes back and collapsed toward the ground. Leaving only Beltony besides her, everyone else was knocked out.


    She then turned towards everyone.


    "Did Beltony do bad...?" Beltony said teary-eyed as she stared at the now unconscious trio.

 25 Strange scene...

    "uhh my head where am I..." Steve woke up feeling like he hit his head with a rocket he remembers driving toward Mexico with a passed out Edwin and his other pals.


    Then running someone over with his car, a belt physically beating up the bleeding man and then darkness.Now he found himself in the back of the originally white Now red pickup truck.


    piled up with all his Pals including the bleeding man forming a little mountain.


    " um... sorry for scaring you." Beltony said who was currently behind him.


    Steve blankly stared at Beltony for a moment as if a predator found prey or a UFO researcher found and talked to aliens or if an otaku''s waifu came to life before his very eyes...


    Jumping to his feet he slowly approached with a crazed look.


    " Ha! my theories they''re true I f*cking knew it was the mythical snake god! Taking the form of a belt they called me crazy who''s crazy now suckers!!!" Steve said crazily to the now confused Beltony.


    "um... I''m not a snake god but I''m made from a snake''s hide. I''m sorry for letting you down" Beltony, feeling sad, apologized to Steven for getting his hopes up.


    " uh my dreams they''re shattered once again." Steve said dejected while on the floor on all four miserably while Beltony was patting his shoulder trying to cheer him up.


    "Wait there is still hope if I study you there might be some things I could find out from you," Steve said creepily approaching Beltony with a grin on his face.


    "SHUT THE HELL UP CAN''T A GUY GET F*CKING SLEEP AROUND HERE!!!" Fred shouted as he was coming to but found himself to a strange scene...


    it was his friend Steve chasing a frightened Belt yelling " ONLY MASTER CAN WEAR ME!!!" the belt said teary eyed.


    "just let me wear you once um... for science let''s go with that yeah FOR SCIENCE!!!" Steve


    "NOOOOOOO!!!" the belt slithered even faster than before.


    "Please come back!!!" steve


    by this time everyone else was now awake even the bloody man well with the exception of Edwin.


    " Is that your friend?" said the bloody man who was now tied up in leather bondage for some odd reason.


    " huh... sadly yes" Fred groaned out in frustration


    "Im sorry for your...burden." The bloody man gave Fred a sympathetic look as the scene went on.


    oh Edwin and Chris are still passed out when they will wake time can only tell.

 26 Well Protect you!!!

    after Fred stopped Steve and apologized to Beltony for his friend''s behavior. by that time Chris also woke up.


    Beltony then explained to them about how Edwin is her master and how he helped Steve with his debt and how he got knocked out and waited for the right time to tell them when the big balled jerk came into the picture.


    of course, this was said away from him so he couldn''t hear their conversation.


    " my friend killed and slaughtered all those people just to help me... he''s the best friend a guy could ever ask for!" Steve moved to tears for his friend''s efforts.


    " no offense guys." Steve


    "none taken" Chris and Fred said facepalming themselves both thinking "why are we friends with him again!"


    " Um Excuse me..."


    Beltony then interrupted the mopping Steve and Fred


    "I want you to know um... that i''ll take care of you and ... keep you safe with all I''ve got..." Beltony said kindly like a mother to her children.


    the three friends unexpectedly cried tears...


    "She is so kind and gentle!!!" Steve


    "She''s a saint no... an angle!!!" Fred


    "boo hoo..." Chris


    "Don''t worry we''ll protect you, right guys!!!" Steve said with burning determination in his eyes


    tell me who to shoot (CLANK!) Fred said shooting at a tin can with masterful marksmanship with the sawed-off shotgun that was on the roof of the pink car for some odd reason but hey it looked badass!


    "kill..." Chris said pulling out a bastard sword from out of nowhere


    "Um ... I''m supposed to...." BELTONY tried to speak but was cut off by Steve


    "with us by your side, there is nothing to fear!" Steve said feeling badass he kinda always wanted to say that.


    "But didn''t I do most of the fighting..." Beltony thought not knowing whether to laugh or cry...


    now let set out! Steve said running to the pickup trucks trunk


    "what about him?" Fred pointed to the bald man tied up in leather bondage due to Beltony.


    "that''s where I come in... HEHEHE... " Steve cackled with an evil laugh as he took out a syringe with black liquid inside from his pocket and stabbed the bald man in the chest who was currently in pain before passing out


    "that should know him out for three days... or three months can''t remember oh well."


    "(Sigh) typical Steve." Chris and Fred


    "Okay now lets ride" they all went back to the truck and drove off to Mexico

 27 GHOST!!!

    It was already dark when they drove into a surprisingly wooden area that had acres of forest. It looked serene like a great painting by a famous artist. As they drove they saw a lot of rivers, plants, and even insects but strangely enough no wildlife.


    For some reason, they were not visible but it wasn''t uncommon to not see any wildlife on your first stride.


    "That''s it, that''s the place," Steve said, pointing at an impressive looking wood. It didn''t look run down or old, in fact it still looked well new.


    It looked nice and cozy, the kind where you drink a cup of hot chocolate while looking at the snow through your window.


    " Why does it look brand new..." Chris


    " well why don''t usually use it in fact, this is the first time in a while since I came here" Steve


    " How long is a while?" Fred


    " Well a couple of... years" Steve


    " Steve I swear if there is anything you''re hiding spill it!" Fred


    " I swear that''s all it''s just a normal cabin in the wood" Steve


    " Why does that sound so familiar?" Fred


    "What?" Steve


    "Nevermind anyway let park and get out of this death machine" Fred


    They parked the car in the garage and got everyone out. They did, however, they did drop Edwin 10 times by accident and dropped the bald guy 20 times on purpose. They put Edwin in the master bedroom to let him rest and Beltony didn''t want to leave her master so she wrapped around his waist protecting him.


    She said if anything happens to call her and she would come to their aid.


    The trio was inspecting around looking for stuff to pass time. Steve went to the garage to fix the car. Fred was outside hunting for food. Apparently Fred''s father was a legendary explorer. He was a jack of all trades and taught Fred everything he knew to lockpick, hunt, cook, and so on.


    Chris was keeping watch over the bald guy just in case he woke up. He was pretty good at healing like a certain clawed comic book hero.


    Anyway, whatever they did to him he could not stay dead. Steve burned him alive, used acid (don''t know where he got that) and even chopped him up into tiny pieces but he put himself back together.


    Hopefully, he doesn''t wake up anytime soon. Chis was the keeping guard when he noticed all of the house''s lights started to flicker on and off.


    " Trouble!!!" Chris felt the hairs on his head stand up as the room temperature became abnormally cold as if he was in a cold storage room.


    He then saw a white mist swirled around the room.


    "What is happening!?!" Steve said coming from the garage grease all over his face and he was holding a blow torch and what looks like a can of hairspray for some odd reason.


    Chris just shrugged his shoulder and pointed at the mist as if it was a normal everyday thing.


    Then stopped and started to form into a humanoid shape, the form it took wasn''t like a monster or hideous evil thing like a final boss in a video game. It was actually kind of well... sexy.


    It looked like a woman in her twenties with smooth jade skin as if she never goes outside and was wearing a black short skirt with black leggings, a purple tank top that showed cleavage and a black jacket.


    She had long black hair that was tied up in a ponytail and black eyes.


    The weird thing was that she was transparent and could see through her.


    "HOT!" Steve


    " THOT detected..." Chris


    Steve and Chris said random things to the sexy ghost chick.


    " Leave now! you trespassers or suffer my wrath!!!" The sexy ghost said as ice started to cover the walls and their breath could be seen.


    They started to shake due to the cold and were buttoning up their jackets.


    " Look here... um hot ghost lady this... is my uncle... Antonio''s cabin so get the... F*ck out... or go out with me." Steve said with a mix of anger and helplessness


    " I WARNED YOU! GET OUT!!!" The ghost yelled as icicles started to move from the wall and started to shoot in their directions.


    Steve dodges the attack, poorly stumbling underneath a wooden table. While Chris pulled out a bastard sword from his pocket (where does that thing come from?) and started to masterfully cut down the icicles like butter.


    " Impressive for a human." the ghost said mildly impressed with Chris''s performance


    " Bite me..." Chris


    " Well how do you do against this!" she screamed as ice started to form around Chris''s legs trapping him to the ground.


    " Sh*t..." Chris


    shard''s of ice started cutting into Chris stabbing him and cutting his clothes. Chris now looked like he was through a field glass bleeding from cuts all over his body.


    In fact, he was drained of stamina so much he was resting on his sword.


    " Now I''ve had fun so time to finish this..." The ghost said, making an arm-sized shard of ice from midair.


    " Any last words human," she said pointing at Chris


    "you... f*cking THOT!!!" Chris said smashing his sword against his legs trying to break the ice on his legs


    "DIE!!!" the ghost said as the shard broke into pieces and shards rained down towards.


    (SSSSZZZZ!!!)


    Just then a shower of black flames blocked Chris from the shards forming fog all over making it hard to see.


    " HAHAHA forgot about me B*TCH!!!" Steve stood there with the spray can and blowtorch making a makeshift flamethrower with duct tape.

 28 Fight!!!

    Steve stood there with the makeshift flamethrower in front of Chris.


    All the Ice melted at a rapid pace feeling like a sauna.


    " About time..." Chris said smashing the ice which was now at little strength due to the hot temperature of the surrounding area.


    " No hey, Steve thanks for saving your life or Steve my hero HAHA." Steve


    "...Thanks" Chris


    " What was that I couldn''t hear you," Steve said pretending he didn''t hear what Chris


    " I said f*ck you..." Chris


    " you ..." Steve was going to shout at Chris but was cut off by the ghost


    " IMPOSSIBLE! how did you melt my "Ice Conjuring" with what kind of spell is that!!!" ghost


    " I used the turbo oil fuel from the car that supports the flying core. This ain''t magic this is SCIENCE!" Steve said spraying the can at the ghost''s direction as the flames reached 10 feet in front of the ghost.


    The ghost quickly tried to dodge the attack by flying to the side but was badly damaged by the flames, her jack caught on fire and was now burned; she, however, wasn''t hurt.


    " DAMN YOU!!!" The ghost bellowed in anger. She really likes that jacket. Do you know how hard it is to find clothes that stay on ghosts!


    The ghost then made a fist as a pair of ice hands floated in the air and punched Steve sending him flying across the room.


    As he smashed against the wall Steve then coughed up a lot of blood. He was in so much pain that he could not move from his spot.


    It felt like he broke a rib or two there was nothing he could do except lie down and wait to recover.


    " Sh*t..." Steve said before passing out


    " Steve..." Chris said with concern under a low breath as he slowly walked in front of Steve protecting his sword up facing the ghost with cold eyes.


    " Poor thing I don''t think he''s in good shape either... are you," she said mockingly towards Chris.


    Chris stayed silent but had hate in his eyes. He moved like a specter. He was right in front of the ghost and brought the sword down on her.


    "What the!!!" ghost


    "SMASH!" he swung down the bastard sword in her direction but she made a wall of ice to protect her.


    She then summoned the ice fist and tried to punch him but Chris was too agile for her. He then kicked the small wooden table Steve hid under towards her.


    The table then faded through her body. That was only a distraction as I had time to get close. Chris slashed her stomach and a wide gash was dripping black blood.


    " YOU F*CKING DOG I''LL END YOU AND EAT YOUR SOUL!!!" The ghost said as wind and swirled large amounts of ice hurled down towards Chris.


    He just kept cutting them down as if they were nothing.


    Now that she saw it had no effect she switched, she then aimed at the passed out Steve.


    Chris stopped what he was doing and quickly went to Steve''s side , cutting all the ice spikes coming his way.


    "KEKEK! Let''s see how long you last!!!" The ghost cackled crazily in satisfaction


    Chris was in a bad position; he knew he couldn''t keep doing this for long.


    He for the most could keep cutting for at least a minute or 2 before having to catch his breath.


    His body was already to his limits, things were getting desperate all he could do was wait for help wait!!!


    "HELP!!!" Chris yelled to the top of his lungs


    " KEKEKE Begging to be saved well that only works if there''s someone to SAVE!" She said as the intensity ice began to rise as even more shards scattered cutting him in multiple parts of his body.


    Just as he thought he was done for "CLANK!!!" a loud bang was heard behind her she coughed up black blood as many holes appeared on her body.


    a figure stood in the doorway


    "Leave my friends alone you CRAZY B*TCH!!!" It was Fred holding onto a giant deer carcass and his saw off shotgun on the other hand, which was glowing blood red from the patterns on it!


    "NOW!!!" Chris


    Chris took this opportunity to stab her in the stomach the sword pierced through but she froze the cut to stop the bleeding.


    She erupted a shock wave of ice and water crashing them all over the place and collapsed on the ground in pain and could not get up.


    " You F*ckers got me pissed off I was just going to kill you quickly but now I''m gonna do it nice and sl..." before she could continue a blur appeared on her neck to her surprise it was a belt with a red ominous eye staring daggers at he

 29 Beltony To The Rescue

    "THE...HELL IS...THIS!!!" The ghost was getting strangled by the belt as it tightened.


    The ghost was obviously confused because normal objects couldn''t touch her, in fact, they would phase through her. For example, the table Chris kicked at her didn''t hurt her at all and was used as a distraction.


    So the fact that surprised her though it was no ordinary belt it was the one and only Beltony!


    " no bullying Beltony''s friends!!!" Beltony said quietly while struggling to wrap around the ghost trying to tighten around her neck. Beltony then got a good grip and did her signature move slamming the ghost against the ground.


    "Stop hitting yourself!!!" Beltony said slamming the ghost repeatedly on the ground like a roach. The ghost then collapsed and was foaming at the mouth with an... odd look of satisfaction on her face. Everyone who was still awake looked at this with a proud sense of accomplishment of taking down a ghost. Not killing because you can''t kill something that''s dead I think...


    Anyway, Beltony was crying to both Fred and Chris for not protecting them. It turned out that while Beltony was with Edwin she said she fell asleep under the warm embrace of her master!!!


    Though Fred and Chris were both understanding of the situation because they both had slept on the job more than a few times.


    Also have bonded quite well with Beltony during their road trip and even decided for her to join their group of friends with open arms.


    After accepting Beltony''s apology they grabbed Steve and let him rest in the guestroom. As for the ghost, they didn''t have a way of killing her yet so Beltony tied her up in leather bondage and locked her in the closet!


    They asked her why she ties people up this way. The simple reason is that Edwin stared at a magazine where women were tied up this way and Beltony decided to impress Edwin by learning this and show this off during a fight.


    She thought he''d praise her for her hard work. During this time both Fred and Chris decided never to anger Beltony or face her wrath!!!


    After 4 hours there was shuffling coming from the closet! Everyone was waiting knowing she''d wake up because she barely took any damage through the teamwork of the 4. This time there were only 4 Steve who had still passed out but were recovering. The 3 of them stood there ready for battle Beltony was in the front ready to pounce on the enemy. The ghost broke the door and stood there looking at Beltony.


    Beltony then pounced like a kitten catching a mouse, wrapping around the ghost.


    The ghost was turning blue due to getting choked and was trying to say something so Beltony loosened her grip on her to let her speak but still had a hard choke on her.


    " Har..der!!!" the ghost barely uttered the words with a satisfied wide grin spread across her face.


    " What...?" Beltony startled that she was still conscious!


    " Cho..ke me d..add...y?" The ghost said grabbing Beltony and tightening her around her neck like a psycho.


    " Nooooooooooo!!!" Beltony screamed trying to get away, she slithered away from the ghost at an alarming speed.


    "Come back I need you wonderful belt you!" Ghost


    " Get away! HELP PERVERT!!!" Beltony became teary-eyed as she was chased by the pervert (Ghost) around.


    " Wait if you choke me just one more time I''ll heal your friends!" Ghost


    "..."Chris


    "..." Fred


    While this was going on the people who were still awake Chris and Fred looked at the scene dumbfounded they didn''t know whether to laugh or cry at the odd turn of events.

 30 Desired Crusaders

    The ghost girl was true to her word after a long time the group managed to convince Beltony into choking her again with very much reluctance Beltony did the deed after which Beltony slowly slithered to the bathroom. she told them that she needed in her own words a cold shower for the traumatic she went through the guys understood and let her be though did question why a belt needed but left her alone sadly slithering to the bathroom.


    afterwards the ghost girl recovered from her choking stupor and regained consciousness she floated near the passed out Steve. Chris and Fred kept their guard up just in case she had any funny ideas.


    "As promised I will heal both of you and your friend besides I don''t think you''ll survive another rumble with me if you''re smart and try not to trifle with me." ghost


    "I hope you''ll do so and save my friend ghost person... thing or whatever you are! " Fred said trying to look intimidating though it couldn''t convince anyone


    "your legs are trembling..." chris nonchalantly said pointing at his shaking feet


    "I know that but she doesn''t know that!" Fred said shaking chris like a bobblehead.


    "your legs where shaking?" ghost


    "see I told you!!!" Fred says shaking Fred even faster


    "oh..." chris said in monotone


    as the two got along the ghost started chanting in a strange language that stopped the two and watched as their attention was on the ghost mysterious light blue symbols started to form in mid air a dark blue light started to envelop Steve as the light slowly pulsating his skin started to go from pale to color again as the light stopped Steve started to slowly open his eyes again.


    "guys I had a crazy dream I crashed my dad''s precious car and my uncle''s cabin was wrecked by a ghost girl..." Steve was cut off as he saw the cabin in a mess and the ghost flying above him was the ghost girl hovering creepily.


    "uh Steve" Fred


    "Steve..." Chris


    The two tried to get Steve''s attention but to know avail. In the next second Steve looked around and looked at the cabin which was completely wrecked with holes in different shapes and sizes.


    "I''m so screwed dude''s!!!" Steve said intensely thinking of the beating he''s bound to get. until he came up with a great idea!


    "look at what we did guys..." Steve said cheerfully while laying his hands on the shoulders of Fred and Chris


    a vein formed on both Chris and Fred foreheads they exchanged eye contact almost as if agreeing to something before banging their fists on poor Steve''s head. Afterwards


    "are you okayˇ­?" Chris


    "Other than some mental scars and my insanity I''m all good!" Steve said giving a grin and thumbs up


    "Close enough..." Fred sighed and smacked his forehead thinking one of these days he''s gonna smack himself to death!


    " Thanks Chris I almost became a Steve-kabob if not for you and your sword!" gripped onto Chris crying into his chest.


    "F*CK OFFˇ­!" Chris said trying


    " I can as you humans say it give it another go." Ghost said disgusted by the sight with a deadpan face.


    " Oh and speaking of thanks ghost lady for healing me up" Steve


    " Humph! I did that only for mistress Beltony, though you are quite welcome. Also quit calling me a ghost. It''s degrading. I''m a Spector not one of those wandering weaklings! My name is Clara"


    As Chris was trying to shove Fred thought about something." Clara


    " Speaking of which Chris, where did that sword come from and also that fancy footwork you used?"


    Fred Said pointing at the silver sword covered in strange patterns and glowing with a yellow symbol of a lightning bolt going through a dragon mark in the middle. Though it had a crack in the middle.


    "Yes I to wonder how a mere mortal can injure me and block my magic? that is...!" Clara said as her eyes were alarmed after seeing the symbol she hid behind Fred hate in her eyes.


    " Desired Crusaders!" Clara shrieked in hatred staring at daggers Chris.

 31 Chris

    Chris'' face darkened as soon as she said that killing intent rose in the air so dense it felt that time paused.


    "Chrisˇ­" Fred said with concern


    "Dude are you okay" Steve said


    The both of them could feel that he had a strong hate not for Clara but for the words she said " Desired Crusaders"?


    Chris paused and saw the concern in his friends eye''s and returned to normal after taking a long shaky breath.


    "Sorryˇ­" Chris meekly said


    " Would someone tell me who this Crusader thing is?"  Fred


    " They are self righteous bastard''s thinking that they are purifying the filth of this world in other worlds senseless killers doing anything they seem fit to kill and torture anyone who''s not human wether they be good or evil beings. Those bastards are the ones that killed my dearest friend and butchered her like a Dog! '''' she hissed staring daggers a Chris


    Chris clenched his fist his view downcast, and could not bear to even look at her. His expression was a look of anger and shame mixed into it.  Fred and Steve could bear to see Chris like this. They looked at each other and nodded.


    " I can explainˇ­ I was taken in by the organization at a young age and since I was an orphan no one would look for me. They liked taking in orphans because they had no records so they would make perfect recruits. They made us do virgious training and sent us on mission''s to kill as those bastards called "nonhumans" like she said whether they be good or evil we were forced to cut them down to the point some us died and those sadists Just goddamned laughed at our suffering though during a mission I managed to trick them into thinking I died. That''s when I hid myself and through certain connections I managed to make a new life and met you guys. Though I was surprised Edwin learned how to use magic I kept it to myself. Ha!... how the past can catch up to us."


    Fred and Chris felt bad for Chris as he went through so much suffering and they were very oblivious to that fact. Right now they hated themselves for not knowing.


    " Chris isn''t a bad guy Clara!" Fred said, determined shrugging her off of him.


    " Yeah! Chris I don''t believe he''s a killer in fact I don''t care I killed someone a while ago! Steve


    "But Iˇ­" chris


    ''No butt''s!!!"  Fred and Steve said in unison their gaze at Chris unchanged even though they found out about his past.


    " You guys..." a soft smile appeared on Chris'' normally deadpan face.


    "Now now let''s not get mushy *humph* you can rely on us from time to time besides me and Steve also have skeletons in our closets too." Fred


    "Same here but instead of a skeleton more like a mountain for me.*kekeke*" Steve said laughing creepy


    "*cough* I''m sorry to interrupt your touching moment but I have more healing to do. And since you aren''t a part of them then I will heal you too." Clara said motioning her hand on to hurry up to line up


    Afterwards Clara healed Fred and chris. She then moved toward Edwin.


    "You can heal Edwin!?!" Steve


    "I said I would heal all of for mistress Beltony didn''t I. *humph*" Clara


    She stopped in front of Edwin and examined him. She paused for a moment, frightened in her eyes.


    "Warlock!" She bolted, went and got behind Steve this time. She was shivering.
