《Short Ghost Stories》32) Something Happened During Video Call
Advertisement
Location : Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Sender : Mr Zaidi
This incident happened in one of the hotels in KL, Malaysia. I was there on work purposes. They had given me the apartment room, which is, quite frankly too big for a bachelor like me.
In the apartment room of this hotel, there are 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and the living hall. They had given me this room to stay for 4 days. I'm a lazy person when it comes to unpacking so i haven't unpack much since i arrived about 3pm earlier.
I am quite close to my mother. She had video called me on Whatsapp later that night while i was watching tv in my hotel room. So we were just chit chatting, the random talks. Then i told my Mum,
"Mum hold on for a bit. I want to make coffee for myself."
I needed both hands to make coffee so i left my phone on the table while my Mum still on the line. I had on loudspeaker while i video called my Mum. Okay so when i placed my handphone on my table in the hotel's living room, all my Mum could see on her phone screen was the living room's ceiling. I had gone to make my coffee when suddenly,
" ASTAGHFIRULLAH HAL AZIM!! YA ALLAH!! ASTAGHFIRULLAH HAL AZIM!! " my mother shouted some Islamic prayers.
I was so shocked when i heard she said that so loudly. I rushed back to the living room.
" Mum?! What happened?! "
I repeatedly asked my Mum about what happened but she kept on reading prayers and i had to wait for about 3 minutes long till she finally respond to me again.
" Zaidi, who is in the hotel room with you?! " my Mum panicked.
" Huh? I'm alone, Mum. What happened?? " i told her.

" Really you are all alone in that room?? Oh Lord! Please save my son! " her reply started to make me feel worried.
" You call me back. Normal voice call. I don't want to video call you anymore!" my Mum said.
She put down the phone but immediately gave me a voice call after that.
"Zaidi, Oh Lord! Zaidi, please request them to change your room. Please!" my Mum begged me.
" Why Mum? " i asked her but she wont gave me an answer for a few minutes.
"Just now.. when you placed your phone on the table, i saw something! I saw a woman.. looking at me through your phone! "
"HUH!?!!" i was in shock.
" Oh Lord! Zaidi, her face was so so scary!! " my Mum added.
" Mum you hold on for a while. Don't hang up. " i told Mum.
I went to check the whole apartment. Then, i told Mum,
" Mum.. i don't feel good. I can feel that something is not right. I felt goosebumps all over my body.."
"Zaidi you.. you go pack your things now and leave that room right away! Tell the hotel staff to switch you into another room! Or even switch to another hotel..later Mum will cover the payment. Please Zaidi! " my Mum sounded more panicked than before.
Suddenly...
' KREEEK! '
The thing had started playing with my bedroom door. At that moment, i felt so scared. Seems like the entity had made its presence more obvious to me. I was lucky i haven't unpack all my things. Quickly, i took away my luggage and left the room immediately and return to the lobby. It took them about an hour to finally find another room for me.
That was my very first experience with the supernatural and i hope not to encounter any of it again. Thank you.

NaNoWriMo challenge :D and [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Some magic elements are borrowed from Savage Divinity and a handful of other good wuxia/xianxia stories, but the story itself is pretty original if I do say so myself. If you feel bothered by my borrowing elements from other magic systems, a) I'm not making money off of this... yet, and b) almost all Xianxia copy each other. This one, at least, has direction where other xianxia don't.

The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com

It was then did John use a dark magic that did he got them out of that situation. But in exchange for the princess's safety, John Sarvod was exiled from A'vetheas for using 'demon magic'. What will he do after the life he knew was uprooted and taken away from him? Will the 'demon magic' that caused his exile from the Elven Tribe bring him into a slow descent into madness? Book 2 description: Having found a life for himself outside of A'vetheas, a family, enrolled to a good school, and a potential romantic partner, John Sarvod continues on with his life the best he could, carrying himself forward, until... He messes it all up again. This time, however, it isn't because of his magic. It was by his own demerit. What is the cause of despair? Find out in Consignor Book 2. Old description (Without spoiler) John Sarvod, user of the most powerful healing spell [Heal], the rare ability to heal and recover all injuries, is the only human that lives in the Elven Tribe. Though he was gifted with [Heal], he could not cast any magic other than his one and only [Heal]. Aside from his current training to become a royal scribe, he is known to all elves as the ‘Healer of A’vetheas’ and had gained a certain amount of respect from them due to how much he works. But life for him in the Elven Tribe, A’vetheas wasn't never always like this. Because he was human, and that the Elves have isolated themselves from the outside world, his presence initially was not welcomed by the elves that thinks highly of him today. It was all thanks to the Elven Queen who brought him in, and the Elven Princess, Raina Valindra Eridi, that he could reach this day. But things changed when the Raina that he so adored used the teleportation device for a small date with him, where they met with danger that the [Heal] that he relied all this time could not save him from… In his desperate attempts to save Raina, John ended up committing a taboo of the elves. As for his punishment when he returned to A’vetheas? That was just the beginning of him, continuing the path that he had inevitably taken prior to the life he had before he lived in A’vetheas. This is a story of a not too average person end up becoming something that he could have never imagined. A monster? A demon? A god? Only time will tell. It is just a matter of time that John Sarvod would embrace his true self. Content Warning because I want to have flexibility, and maybe it gets overwhelming at times. I have a backlog already, this story won't be dropped. Edited: romance tag to action tag, story has more or less of both, but yeah. There's slice of life tagged in because my story progresses not too quickly (by my opinion) I like to take things slow, I suppose. :3
