《The Gotham Ghost King》The Interrogation
Advertisement
Rex Angeli sat on his throne, stiff-backed and with his staff at his side, looking like the epitome of a king with his regal and condescending aura and his white and gold suit.
I looked at his eyes which were unusually colored, being a radiant amber, almost orange color. In his eyes, I noticed a tiny flicker of something protective. Very protective. His golden colored wings were loosely curled, but still looked ready to take flight if the meeting went south.
Ghost King. Even in the light, it was difficult to make out his form, almost being a shadow on a black throne encrusted with rubies.
A small ball of light hit him, which I jumped back from as it exploded against his chest. I heard a faint growl, "Oh stop it. Brighten up a bit," Rex said, briefly looking at Ghost with a completely done expression on his face.
I heard faint grumbling which stopped before small droplets of a pitch black substance began to drip off of him,
Drop by drop, he brightened considerably, color returning to him and his clothes. When the drops stopped, I could finally see the superhero clearly.
He was lounging in his throne, dressed in black and gold clothing and adorned with a wicked-looking black crown with rubies.
He had a bored look on his face, along with a sharp-looking sword on his hip. I looked into his stormy black eyes and saw a hint of malicious intent.
"Take a seat," he said with a snap.
I jumped back as the shadows pulled themselves off of the ground and solidified into three chairs.
Carefully, I sat down in the chair, watching the two beings with sharp eyes.
"What are you here for?" Bruce asked stoically.
"My partner and I have taken a special interest in Gotham, especially with the number of villains that Gotham has. Therefore, we have decided that it is in our best interest to temporarily assist in capturing the villains around these parts," Rex said, voice sounding calm, almost unnaturally calm.

"What are your powers?" I asked cautiously, leaning back in my chair.
"I do not believe you need to know that," Ghost interjected harshly, interrupting Rex, who had started to speak. "All you need to know is the fact that my abilities specialize in darkness, while my partner specializes in light."
"And how do we know that you don't mean any harm to us?" Jason snarled.
"We only mean to harm those who harm the innocent. Nothing more, nothing less," Rex Angeli spoke.
"What do you mean by saving our world?" I asked.
"My partner is just over dramatic. You may have one more question," Rex said, shooting Ghost a harsh look.
"Do you know of-" I zoned Bruce out, knowing what his question would be, and caring little for the answer.
"Who are they?" I wondered to myself. "What do they want with us? And why, out of all places, did they decide to show up here?

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!

Foreshadow
It's was already over 200 years since the last Supernatural War. Due to the use of technology against humanity, it created a psychological trauma that leads to the slow advancement of technology. Throughout the years, the world was unbelievably silent and in peace. Many believed that the pact signed by humanity and Supernatural Species kept the two opposing forces on watch. Some thought that both sides are brewing something and kept their cards hidden. Even the rumors told that the peace wouldn't last long and the war would break out in a few years. Who would know the future and things it would tell. Maybe the war would break out of nowhere or the world would remain at ease.---Note:First, I don't own the picture and credits to its rightful owner. Second, English isn't my native language. So before hand, sorry for the wrong grammar, misspelled words and the redundancies. Last, enjoy! --- Hiatus for the meantime while I'm retyping/reediting the first ARC. Thank YOU!
