《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 43: The Power of the Esper Suit
Advertisement
At the Restaurant, an intense battle was unfolding...
(BOOOOOM, CRAAASSSHHHH)
The Chupacabras punches Kasumi with force. The monster heads straight towards Kasumi, at that moment Uriel attacks with his sword:
“Cuarto Cresciente” (Translates: Crescent Moon)
Uriel slashes upright trying to attack the monster however the monster dodges his slash and kicks him to the roof and crash.
(BOOOOOOM)
Uriel falls to the ground and says; “Damn that hurt”
“Dangan no tori” (Translates: Bullet birds)
Kasumi screams and the bullets attack the monster. The monster covers himself with its wings from the bullet's impact.
(BOOOOMM, CCRRRAAAASSSHH)
The monster extends its wings and screams, making a sound attack, paralyzing Kasumi. The monster charges at her but Uriel interferes and makes a cut on the monster’s wing.
(RRRRAAAAWWWW)
At that moment the specters enter the building to attack the people inside it.
“AAAAAHHHHH!!!” Uriel hears screams and asks Kasumi:
“What’s going on , I’m hearing strange rhythms in the building?”
“Some kind of spirits are attacking the people,” Kasumi responds, watching on a small screen in her arms.
Jairo: You’re right...aside from the Sombras...it appears that ghostly figures have entered the building...
“Kasumi go and stop those, things hurry” Uriel tells Kasumi. She frowns and responds:
“NO!! You go and stop them.”
Both of them stare at each other.
Jairo: Would someone please help them and stop the Chupacabras already...
At that moment the Chupacabras appears behind her about to attack but Uriel intercepts it. The monster grabs Uriel’s head and takes off with him to the outside. Uriel screams to Kasumi :
“Change of plans, go defend the people!!”
Kasumi nods and goes to the elevator where the people are at.
******************************************************************************
Meanwhile….
“AHHHHH” Nathaniel and Alberto hear screams of the people outside. They are in the elevator with 20 others.
“Damn it I’m the mayor, why are all of you here?” Nathaniel says with a furious voice.

“Calm down Padre when the monster gets here will use them as sacrifices to escape” Alberto suggests to Nathaniel. Upon hearing Alberto, the others glare at them.
(BOOOOM, BOOOOM)’
The specters begin to hit the top of the elevator wanting to come in.
“AAAAHHHHHH” The people begin to scream with fear. At that moment the spectors break the cable, and the elevator falls at great speed.
Kasumi falls and slashes the specters, beating them one by one. Kasumi grabs the elevator cable avoiding it crashing on the first floor.
Jairo: Kasumi, the ghost-like creatures are heading your way...
Soon every spectre inside the building heads towards Katsumi in the elevator room to attack her.
Kasumi begins to jump and attack the specter with her sword at high speed.
(SSSLLLLAAAASSSHHHH).
Kasumi continues to slash however the specters gain up on her. Kasumi falls at high speed crashing on the top of the elevator, she lets go of her sword and sticks on the 5th floor.
(BOOOOOMMM)
“Damn it what’s going on, let me out Damn it!” Nathaniel says pushing the people.
Jairo: KASUMI... KASUMI...
Katsumi tries to get up but the specters hold her down. She begins to panic:
“Damn I’m too weak, someone please help me!!!” Katsumi begins to scream. The specters begin to cut her as she screams:
“KKKYYAAAHHHHH”
Jairo and Rosa: DON’T GIVE UP…
Carlos and Chelsea: SENPAI DON’T GIVE UP...
“PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER STUDENT” Suddenly Katsumi begins to hear Roberto’s voice and begins to remember her past.
*********************************************************************
June, 8 years ago; Behind the Hills of Sun City
Eight years ago, a young Kasumi trained with her Master, Roberto every day as she tried to improve her skills.
Roberto hits Kasumi (Age 11) in the head:
“Kasumi you're slow, you need to act faster!”
“But sensei this is all I can do” Kasumi (Age 11) replies to Roberto with tears in her eyes. Roberto sighs and sits in the ground to explain:

“Listen Kasumi, the esper suit is an advanced technological suit that combines science with magic. It concentrates the mana around us and turns it into visible energy in order for us to use for our benefit.”
“What now…?” Kasumi asks Roberto, causing him to get mad.
“Let me show you then” Roberto says as he stands up and walks away from Kasumi. He shows the crest and says:
“Activate: Lobo Solitario: Parcial”
The left side of Roberto turns into his espersuit consisting of green veins spreading across the left side. He raises his arm in the sky and begins to gather mana.
“Do you see the mana particles?” Roberto says to Kasumi as she sees them with huge eyes; “Pretty”
The mana begins to convert into a green energy sphere that grows bigger every second. The sphere stabilizes. Kasumi looks at it with awe:
“It's too much mana, How can you do that sensei?”
“Just focus your mana and release Katsumi, take a deep breath and try it yourself”
Roberto says to Kasumi as she changes into her esper suit. Kasumi begins to gather mana and a huge orange sphere forms. Roberto smiles feeling proud:
“Good job Kasumi now release it”
Kasumi releases her energy to the sky making a small beam. Roberto releases his making huge pillars causing Katsumi to cry and say:
“No fair sensei yours was stronger than mine”
“Just keep practicing, I know you can surpass me one day” Roberto says as he pats Katsumi´s head smiling, Kasumi smiles as well. **********************************************************************
Present; Inside the burning building.
Kasumi releases mana freeing herself from the specters; “Now you made me mad…”
Kasumi takes off her glasses and glares at the specters flying around.
Kasumi begins to breathe and gathers mana in her arms. Her mana begins to spread, taking the shape of wings. Kasumi flaps her wings, defeating the specter. She stands up lifting her arms in shape of wings and says:
“Seishin no tsubasa” (Translates: Spirit Wings)
She begins to flap the wings and flies upward. The specters attack Kasumi.
Kasumi spins with force, cutting them one by one making them disappear. She continues the attack until she reaches her sword and grabs it. Kasumi makes her wings disappear and begins to fall slowly.
(RRRAAAWWWW)
The specters head towards her ready to attack, every specter in the building is heading towards her. Kasumi puts her katana in the back in the position that she is about to stab. The katana glows with a bright orange light. Kasumi for a fraction of a second closes her eyes and focuses:
“Gather the mana like sensei told you and release it at once.”
She pushes the katana and stabs creating a small crack. Orange circles spread around the area. Kasumi chants:
“Kiji no hashira” (Pheasant pillar)
A huge pillar forms and expands destroying the specters in the corridor and the energy spreads to the sky causing a huge orange pillar to illuminate the sky.
“I did it sensei” Kasumi falls into the elevator ceiling passing out. The police arrive into the building securing it and the people run outside. Kasumi regains consciousness and says:
“I need to help Uriel” She breathes heavily and goes to the stair beginning to walk up but her esper suit disappears. Shion runs to aid her.
“Are you alright Senpai?”
“Yes...I just need to rest…”
Shion smiles and replies; “I’m relieved for you...I disposed of all the Kage outside.”
Jairo: Tiwa and Alejandro have successfully abandoned the building, there is no one inside now…
“Thank goodness...all that is left is to stop that monster…” Kasumi stands up with the help of Shion.
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
Everyone looks up as they witness fire consuming the building. Kasumi looks up thinking; “Uriel, please be okay…”

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
8 187The Friendly Neighborhood Dungeon
A magical dungeon in a not so magical world. _____________________ This story is my attempt at NaNoWriMo 2017. Unlike my other story, this one is more family friendly ;) I'll be posting it as I write, usually after a rudimentary edit so any critique or suggestions are welcome as I'm doing this to improve my writing skills. Enjoy :D *I do not own the image. It was taken from google and will remove it if the creator asks.
8 291Curiosity Killed The Imp
A/N: On hiatus (higher priority). The story is planned out but I need to do some rewriting for clarity and cohesiviness. Still very interested in the story though. Aeris is a place of endless conflict. Bloody evolution is the way forward, and the closed fist is the path given. Life is a luxury granted only to the strong. In a tiny corner, at the edge of a volcanic land, is born an imp. An imp no different from any other save one thing. An anomaly in its code. A blip in its creation. For unlike other imps, this one was born…curious. Book Cover by Betty Elgyn: https://www.deviantart.com/bettyelgyn
