I drew my inspiration from Lovecraft's line: "In the face of cosmic horrors, the line between sanity and madness becomes blurred, and sometimes, it's the mad who truly understand the incomprehensible." The idea that effect can precede cause, the coming madness is correlated with the instability brought by power, and confronted with ceaseless chaos, you have to just accept the madness to be content.

Thanks

Thanks, I am not sure if many people enjoy the horror as much

My laughter continued, as I lay down on the floor, looking up at the ceiling. Kevin, Allen, and Brian stood outside the ritual circle, staring at me, while the ancient one floated nearby. I felt a power emanating from within me, and it was not evil, not good, or neutral. It was simply a power beyond all mortal comprehension, a power that was the essence of existence itself. The Ancient One entered Kevin's body and merged with him. "Excellent, I can feel power and understanding like not

Agreed, it's why I added so many warnings to this chapter as a writer I don't like writing Horror for this reason. It's incredibly difficult to write. Evil in its most sadistic and uncompromising form is devoid of empathy, love, and hope. It can drive people to the point of insanity and beyond. I took apart the worst aspects of a sadistic villain and broke them into 3 redeemable characters and had 1 character with all the aspects who was beyond redemption under any circumstance. Be glad this isn't a horror novel, I chose to do this as a small mini-series novelette to minimize the scenes to this one chapter. The last chapter will settle all accounts and there's a Happy Ending

After Kevin and the entity had come down the stairs, I stood up naked and walked toward the two, feeling no shame or embarrassment for what had transpired. My body was still hot from the intense fucking that had just happened and my cum still leaked from my dick. I knew that I wasn't moving on my own accord, but Kevin had subconsciously commanded me to do this through the use of the Avatar Box. Despite the knowledge that he had acquired powers, an inner voice in me kept telling me that it was le

If you read in-between the lines, Kevin was the one who summoned the entity and set everything in motion. I sort of hinted at his evil nature during the first part, when he set up such an elaborate prank on Jules with Brian and Allen. However, his plan wasn't merely to set up a prank, it was to lead Jules down the path that he did. Evil villains in horror are extremely elaborate and manipulative. Jules' conscious thoughts were being overwhelmed by the various powers and time limits of the Avatar Box. He thought he knew the horror rules and could outplay the game of a horror movie. However, he was merely a pawn.

Allen tried to be intimidating standing in front of us in a vampire costume with a metal crowbar that was probably used to gain access to the asylum. However, I knew he was no threat to Mark or Brian, and not me with the new powers I had just gained after unlocking two more sides of the cube. I now had mastery over Fear, Desire, Pain, and Pleasure. The entity and his Avatar Box must be huge fans of Clive Barker, but I wasn't interested in dominating Allen or hurting him per se. I walked in

A little puppy play isn't bad as long as the other guy consents 🐕

As we walked back into the Asylum, I played with the Avatar Box again and unlocked another side of the cube. I opened the second power, which I knew innately was the power to mold desire. Fear is the power to manipulate people to reach your goals, desire is the power to mold people to reach your dreams for them. I liked the way that the show Lucifer summarized the extremes with Tom Ellis playing both the misunderstood pansexual devil Lucifer with power over desire and his twin brother the conniv

This story is fun and sensual

Glad it does, I took a bit of history and some fun fantasy elements to create something different. Good to know, I am glad that I am getting some readers You are my biggest fan Chris

We walked throughout the night deeper into the woods. I didn’t know where I was going, but Francis did. After six hours of continuous walking, we reached a small English village just as the sun rose. Francis escorted me to a simple thatch roof cottage, where he knocked three times, then once. There was no response from the door. He then whispered, the familiar words, “The last shall be first.” The door opened and a blond-haired teenage boy with mischievous oval green eyes motioned

Chapter 6 This chapter explains a lot in terms of magic within this world but doesn't explain the reason behind it. It also expands upon Eli's abilities even further, he is not merely skilled at language and memory, but he actually has hidden knowledge based on interaction as well. Like Wikipedia, if you do not search for a subject, then you can't easily access that data. However, humans are not supposed to operate like that (Spoiler Alert or False Herring ) As for introducing Puck, you guys know I love Midsummer's Night Dream, I interpret it as a triumph of sexual freedom and a good throple comedy, even if the two males didn't get lustful with one another (I can imagine bisexual Shakespeare directing the boys acting in the girl's parts, which makes up for the lack of sexual novelty in the modern retelling). My puck is a mischievous, but benign character with a hand at using toxins to great effect. As a working partner for Francis Walsingham, it made sense to have a poison expert. In terms of history lessons, nitric acid known as Aqua Fortis in medieval Europe can be generated via saltpeter and sulfuric acid. Saltpeter can be made by the composting method of limestone, urine, and feces creating crystals. Sulfuric acid can be created by heating iron and using liquid run-off. Nitration of plant oils in combination with gunpowder can generate an explosive compound, it won't be to the power of dynamite or plastic explosives, but it is still potent. Not going into detail as I do not want to be FBI watch-listed or banned for teaching you guys how to make explosives As for the law of power, 8th law of power according to Robert Greene "Make other people come to you", it's actually something that can be applied to Sun Tzu's art of War, "choosing favorable ground". The idea is simple, you want your opponent to come at you without proper information on your terms. Even if they are numerically superior, if you can find a choke point, a few people can take out forces many times larger. Some people will wonder, how can a 17-year-old American teen be able to plan that kind of military strategy, even if he has knowledge, he wouldn't know how to apply it like that. Welcome to the world of Japanese Manga, Otaku's (fans of Anime and Manga) are students of not only these stories, we also know the Japanese history behind them. During the Sengoku Jidai, which (coincidentally or not) happened around this period as well, a famous night time raid happened, where Oda Nobunaga with an army of 2,000 faced an invading force of 25,000 men used his opponents superior numbers and self-assured sense of victory against him by launching an all-out attack that killed the enemy commander. Even when you are weaker, you choose the grounds that you are fighting and have better strategic weapons at your disposal, then you will weapon. Also, most noble military units of the Medieval period were made up of impressed young men within their territory. Thus, you would see a lot of innocent teenage boys sometimes as young as 12 going to fight without understanding what they are fighting for or dying for. If you were in Eli's shoes and you had to kill little kids in order to make your point, I don't think you want to talk about it. Writers and playwrights can make it fun and games, but killing people isn't. ----------------- Note: 1. Nitric Acid or Aqua Fortis was discovered in the medieval times by alchemists as experiments with sulfuric acid and saltpeter. Saltpeter was a main ingredient of gunpowder as well. 2. A Midsummer's Night Dream will be produced in 1595 during Elizabeth I's lifetime. 3. Hemlock as the poison that Eli identified is well known as the poison of choice for intellectuals, since Socrates had committed suicide with hemlock. I wanted to draw a historical connection between Hemlock and Eli's abilities.

Mark didn't make it out of the asylum's grounds. I found him lying on the grass near the side entrance, where everyone came in. He might have left the party thinking I had gone, but he was intoxicated and couldn't have walked that far. If I were not being guided by the entity, I'd probably be in a deep slumber as well. However, with the first side of the avatar box unlocked, my mind was clear and uninhibited right now. I had the power to instill fear in Mark. I can get rid of his phobia of being

I'm trying to work in a few scares and thrills

Thanks, I wanted to play with a horror story just for fun.

You'll find out, muhahahaha!

It's a horror mini-series

Haven't read old Aggie in a long time, I'm going to have to pick up one of her mysteries at some point for fun

I was wearing a long trench coat and a black top hat. When I arrived at the Halloween party, I thought it was a good idea at the time to go as an old-school magician. The costume had a top hat, a black and white suit with a red tie, and a white shirt. What made the outfit so good, was that I found an authentic-looking wooden magic wand, which looked like it could be a real magic wand. If this were Harry Potter-universe, it would definitely be a Phoenix-core wand. Mark, who was dressed up as

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother trying to fit in. Like going to a stupid Halloween party, because my boyfriend, Mark, wants me to go and not be a shut-in with my graphic horror novels and scary movies. I don't like parties and I don't like the kids at school, especially all the jocks. Being a gay freshman hasn't made my 14-year-old life any better, despite the occasional make-out sessions with Mark. Mark would be a great boyfriend if he could do one thing right. We can't have sex, bec

It is Halloween night when all sorts of monsters prowl and come out from their shadows. Jules is a gay bookish 14-year-old boy, who enjoys reading and watching horror more than pretending to be a monster. He is forced to attend a Halloween party by his boyfriend, Mark. Something horrifying is about to occur.

Thanks guys, when I do write shifter-genre stories, I consciously or subconsciously write them with a bit of social commentary. It's like Rob Zombie and his movies.
