Chapter 66 – Shanghai (2)
Chapter 66: Shanghai (2)
Woojin was strapped to the bed again. His current power was too powerful to hold him down with a bind but this was just a precaution. If Woojin were to cause a problem, a metal plate was going to drop down on him from the ceiling.
“Problem is your skin.”
His skin hardened whenever a knife or blade of some sort tried to cut through. Doctor Ahn had prepared a special syringe in the shape of a small gun.
“What is this?”
“I used a stinger of a Daeok hornet to make it more versatile.”
A Daeok was a hornet that was categorized as a monster. Its stinger was harder than any normal metal and Doctor Ahn seemed to have hardened it even further.
“This is for you.”
“Alright.”
“The prototype is named Cocktail-Demon.”
“I hope it works.”
“We’ll see it soon.”
Woojin placed his head back down and Doctor Ahn pulled the trigger on Woojin’s skin. Woojin felt an entirely different sensation. The Cocktail-Demon entered his veins and began to run rampant. He felt his heart beating stronger and felt his blood rushing through his body. As coursed through his body, the demon blood was quickly eradicated within himself, but in turn, his dragon blood was stimulated instead to make his blood rush.
“I think it works. Can you get me out of this?”
Woojin was freed and he swung his fist as he got up. The blood rush made him move much more quickly than before. As Woojin checked his speed, Brunhilde felt tempted to try to fight him. Woojin moved with his power. She clenched her hand and held her fighting instinct back.
Woojin then stopped and let out a breath. Doctor Ahn was astonished.
“So that’s how avatars move.”
“How many did you make?”
“I have about ten right now.”

“How many can you make if you make more?”
“Probably a hundred.”
“Can you do it?”
“How about we alter it before increasing the number?”
Woojin then decided to explain his thoughts, “Honestly, my senses have not increased. My own blood reacted to the demon blood when it came in. The blood began rushing through and it allowed me to move much faster.”
“If it reacts to the demon blood, I guess the effect will decrease the more you use it.”
“Maybe.”
“Okay. I’ll give you what I have for now so you should use it. I’ll see if I can tinker with it while you’re gone.”
“Thank you, Doctor.”
Woojin then received ten Cocktail-Demons and left Doctor Ahn’s lab.
“This will do.”
He was going to fight Wangjinjin’s family in Shanghai. It was time for him to go fight. They would have set traps for him, but he was a hunter who had the power of an Avatar. Hunting was his expertise.
Woojin became curious when he saw Miho again. She seemed to be more calm.
“Where have you been?”
“I went to Mount Jiri.”
“Why?”
“That place is the best training spot in Korea.”
This was surprising. She wasn’t a type to train as she was more of the lazy type.
“Training?”
“Did you think I’d just stay home and drink all day? Aren’t we going to fight vampires?”
“Yeah. We’re going to Shanghai.”
“That’s why I trained. I couldn’t stabilize myself after the number of tails increased so quickly.”
“Good job.”
Miho was increasing her power much faster than in the past and she was working hard to get accustomed to it without even Woojin telling her to do so. Woojin tapped Miho’s head instinctively and Miho’s eyes grew wide and turned soft. He then took his hand off and coughed.

He was close to Miho in the past but he wasn’t this close. They were a human hunter and Avatar pair before and she had a certain coldness then. Yet this time, she seemed a bit cute.
Woojin said, “Let’s go.”
They then went to meet up with Bihyung.
“Are you going to Shanghai?”
“Yeah.”
“If the Wangjinjin family has gathered up, they’re prepared to fight you.”
Woojin realized it when the Red Boy came after him. If he was seen by a mirror that could read memories, Amon probably saw him through his eyes to see the past. Perhaps they had found a way to defeat him. But Woojin was also prepared. He had the Mirror of Heavens and Cocktail-Demon.
“It’s okay. Can I ask you something though?”
“Yeah.”
“It will cause a huge problem if I attack first. Mr. Sun will not be too happy about it so secure a route for me to run away without getting caught.”
“Are you not going back into China?”
“At least until his anger subsides.”
Bihyung laughed, “Yeah, I’ll get you a chopper. Hop on it when you’re done.”
“Okay.”
Woojin knew Sun Wukong would be okay if he gave him the recipe. But he still had to run away first because he was going to stir up a large commotion. If he ran away, Mr. Sun would have no choice but to clean things up. Bihyung tapped on Woojin’s shoulder.
“Be careful. The 1st gens are powerful.”
“I know. That’s why vampires are still alive.”
Even if the vampires had a huge influence, they would’ve been wiped out if the 1st generation vampires weren’t so strong.
“Let’s have a drink when you’re back.”
Woojin then took the helicopter Bihyung had prepared for him and boarded a private jet to fly to Shanghai.
Woojin called Hwang when he got to Shanghai. Hwang was eating chicken noodles at a street vendor. Woojin went to him and Hwang asked with a smile, “You want a bowl?”
“Sure.”
Woojin then sat down and ate. Miho also ate and after eating five bowls of chicken noddles, Hwang asked, “So, what do you need?”
“I don’t think my current weapon is good enough for attacking groups. Can you get me PZF-III?”
“Sure, but is it okay for you to use that thing?”
“I’m going to run away after.”
Hwang laughed loudly.
“Sure, I’ll get you one then. Anything else?”
“I need to know where the Wangjinjin family is right now.”
Hwang answered casually, “They are not hiding this time, but it doesn’t make it any easier to attack them.”
Woojin answered, “It’s okay. I still need to start with a ranged attack.”
“Where are you staying right now?”
“I can’t let anyone know I’m in Shanghai. Can I get a safe house?”
“Money can get you everything, my boy.”
“Then get me one please.”
“Sure. I’ll pay for your noodles.”
“Thank you.”
“Take the back door. You can take the car there to your safe house.”
“I’ll see you next time.”
“Sure will.”
Woojin then got to the back and Darkling was waiting for him with an old minivan. They got into the car and they departed. They soon arrived at an old apartment building crowded with people. But they weren’t interested in Woojin or Miho. Woojin was astonished. It seemed like he had been taken to a hideout for black market merchants. Woojin knew that these were highly-trained men. This wasn’t just a safe house, but their own headquarters.
Woojin entered the room and sat down. Miho asked, “Old Hwang, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Didn’t he retire?”
“Somewhat. He was in Korea.”
“I see.”
Miho nodded knowingly and asked, “Then why is he here?”
“I don’t know.”
He was probably here to watch Woojin.
“Take a rest. It won’t be easy to read the memory of a 1st generation vampire.”
Miho smiled. She thought she had made the right choice in following Woojin.

The Dungeon Child
Argus was a dungeon, sprawling for miles under the cities of man above all the way until a human, angry at the death of one of his companions, murdered him. When he discovered where he was, he found that he had come back to life as nothing more or less than a human being, complete with its own nervous system, organs, and brain. Worst of all, his precious System is gone, and he has to actually grow up. How disgusting.
8 233Torn World
Nathan Jones is an 18-year-old who has just recently been accepted into his favorite college. To celebrate, he invites his friends to a vacation on an island in the Bahamas that was just recently made tourist-friendly. Little did they know that the island was a magic portal into a different world like in the Light Novels that Nathan read in his spare time. In this world, there are demons roaming about and destroying kingdom after kingdom after escaping the Great Abyss made by the first hero of the land Liathys. Being 4 Legendary classes, it is up to these 4 friends to use their godly powers to restore peace to the world, all of them doing it in their own way. The original title was "In A Torn World Where Cheat Specs Save Our Lives", but I thought it was too long so I changed it to simply "Torn World".
8 119The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
