《Domain Of Voids》CHAPTER 7: THE KILLER
Advertisement
After dropping off Anna, Issac drives to Grab-a-Grub and orders beacon and sausages with bread. Lucy keeps his food at his table and asks, “So, who was that young broad? You are dating her or something?” Issac starts laughing at this and replies, “No Lucy, she is a student at the police academy, wants to become a detective. She just wants to learn from me.” Lucy listens to his answer and says, “Well dating or not, her presence surely has changed you! It’s good to serve detective Issac!”
Lucy leaves him and Issac starts eating his dinner. After he is done, he pays for the dinner and leaves the diner. He sits in his car and looks at the addresses, looking at them his expressions change. He calls Jeff, “Alright Jeff I’m gonna head to the addresses, you know scope out the places and see if there is something interesting or strange.” Jeff tells him to be careful and watch himself. Issac says “Okay” and cuts the phone call. The first address is 20 minutes from his location, he uses the maps application on his phone for directions.
Once Issac arrives he sees an apartment building, he reads the first address again and sees the floor and apartment number. It reads “Floor 5, 509”, as he sees this Issac exits his car and goes inside the building. He pushes the button to call the elevator, as it reaches ground floor Issac puts his hand on his gun, the elevator doors open and it is vacant.
He decides to take the stairs, he checks floor to floor and finds no disturbances. Finally, he reaches the 5th floor and starts moving towards room 509. He stops at the door and before he could ring the bell he hears a conversation from inside the room. He hears a woman pleading to someone, “Please, I’ll stop, I promise, I won’t tell anybody, I’ll just vanish, please don’t do it!” as soon as Issac hears this he whispers, “Got you fucker!” and kicks open the door.

The loud bang surprises the killer and the scientist and they both look at Issac as he screams, “Freeze! Detective Issac Wolfe, drop your weapon scum bag, there is no way out!” The killer is dressed in all black clothes, and is wearing a strange mask to cover his face. “Caught you in the act asshole, just wait till my backup arrives!” Issac says. The killer speaks in a robotic voice, “You have no idea what is going on detective!” as Issac moves closer and closer to the killer. He takes out the handcuffs and holds the killer’s hands.
In an instant the killer touches Issac’s left hand and says, “Start now!” something strange starts happening to Issac’s body. He freezes in one place, he sees everything but he cannot move at all. It’s like he is anchored to the place he is standing on and his body is turned to stone. He tries his hardest to move but it’s of no use. The killer breaks the handcuffs and looks at the scientist who is looking at him with wide open eyes. The scientist screams, “No, no! I don’t want to die like this!”
Issac watches everything but he cannot move a muscle. The killer says, “You brought this upon yourself, do not become God, do not meddle with time!” saying this he takes out a tiny device and points it to the scientist. In a matter of minutes the scientist starts talking gibberish, talking of things that don’t make sense, she seems like she is going mad. After the killer is done with her he focuses on Issac.
He comes closer to Issac and says, “Time to go to the next scientist detective, I must say you are very clever and sharp, you almost had me tonight…almost! We will meet again I’m sure. Don’t be surprised as I leave, your tiny mind cannot comprehend why and how all this happened!”

Issac sees the killer raising his right wrist as if he is looking at the time. After a few moments he sees a bright flash of light and when the light is gone the killer seems to have vanished as well. Issac is dazed by the light and everything around him becomes blurry. After a few moments his vision returns to normal and he looks at the scientist. He sees her slowly losing her sanity and after a few minutes she just lies on the ground and closes her eyes saying, “I love you Jenny, mommy loves you!”
A few moments later the effect of whatever the killer did to Issac wither away and he moves again. He says, “What the fuck just happened, how the fuck...what is going on here?” He moves towards the scientist and checks her vitals. She had died, couple minutes later his backup arrives. Four police officers who are accompanied by Jeff.
They all see in shock as Issac sits near the dead body, he looks at them and says, “I had him Jeff, but I don’t know what he did to me! I was frozen, like I couldn’t move a muscle. He had a device which made the scientist go mad. In a few minutes she just died and the killer, he just fucking vanished, like…like fucking magic or something!” Jeff sees Issac in a shocked state and doesn’t take the things he said seriously. He replies, “It’s alright Issac I know the death of anyone is a hard sight to see, I know you tried and did your best!” Issac looks at Jeff in anger and says, “No you idiot, I didn’t make it all up because of stress, this is exactly how it happened!”
Suddenly Jeff’s transceiver starts to beep and he answers it. Lincoln Street, near an alley opposite to House 770, all units respond ASAP!” Issac looks at the second address and it says “Lincoln Street, House 770”. Issac screams, “Fuck this man! I had him, but it’s Lincoln Street it is 30 minutes away from here, and the killer was just here 10 minutes ago. How the fuck did he get there so fast? Unless there is a second killer, but if that’s the case where the fuck did this one go?”
Jeff calls for forensics team and an ambulance at the current location and decides to go to the second location himself. He pats Issac on the shoulder and says, “We’ll get him or them, just take it easy alright. Call Anna she’ll help you here while I check out the 2nd location, meet me there once you are done here!” Issac nods as he lights his cigarette.
Jeff leaves the apartment as Issac takes a few puffs and calls Anna to tell her about all that has happened. He dials her number and she picks up and replies in a sleepy voice, “Hello, yes detective?” Issac says, “Anna, I know it’s late but we got a problem, the killer has killed 2 scientists, come to this address quick!” Anna replies with a voice full of concern, “Oh my God! I’ll come right away!” and then disconnects the call.

Exhuman
If superpowers appeared today, what might the future look like? In a future which has endured nuclear wars, people rarely wake up one day with supernatural powers, transforming an innocent life into a walking apocalypse.

In this world unfolds the dark story of Athan Ashton, an 18-year old with a football scholarship who wakes up to find himself a lightning-powered Exhuman. Following a failed imprisonment and execution, he is exiled to the wilds, ostracized from all he’s even known. Like most, Athan never questioned society's view of Exhumans, buying the public line that they are selfish and a danger, fit only to be reported and dispatched.

Polly and Drake
Drake has been searching for a job as a personal guard, but wherever he turns, he is kicked out without fail. It's not that he's terrible with weapons, or inattentive. It could be because of his obvious racial heritage. Or because of Polly. With his funds dwindling, the only remaining option is to become one of the Cursed: poor souls that work for the Dragoneye Guild. In other lands, they may be called adventurers, saviors or even heroes, but not in the White Desert. Here, they are shunned and ignored. Depraved people who forsook their humanity for money and fame. With this choice, Drake may not only fall from grace, but also become one of only a few thousands capable of unearthing the secrets of ancient times. If he could get this guardsman notion out of his head. May contain gore, violence, profanity and traumatising content. Taking another shoot at this writing business. I write for fun and when I have time. There is no plan. The story may change drastically from what it starts out - or not. We'll see what happens. Currently, I'm aiming for a Slice of Life with LitRPG elements at a later time.
