Uriel was already taking aim to the creature's head, thanks to his vantage position he was certain he wouldn't miss. "No, wait a second..." Luna said in between jumps as she struggled to see the creature. "I want to see what it looks like before you shoot it down." "Is it curiosity or do you think it might be on our side?" Uriel made his revolver disappear to keep himself from shooting accidentally. "Who do you take me for? I'm not like that idiot, I know that cryptids aren't on our side." She…-

"Stop! What are you doing?" Luna shouted, quickly waking up Uriel with the shrill sound of her voice. "There's someone outside, we're saved!" Sam replied with a smile, half of his body poking out through the window. Uriel rubbed his eyes, having his short rest interrupted made him feel dizzy and confounded. "What's going on?" "I don't know, I can't see anything but Lightbringer says there's someone out there fighting against the cryptids." Luna replied as she was trying to pull Sam back who was…

Now that Uriel had some sort of insight about his trait, he was able to notice a few things. First, he now knew the name of his trait which was 'Museum' which meant that from now on he could say confidently what his trait was about. Second, he guessed that if the system informed him about the current exhibitions, it was more than likely that he would be able to unlock at least one more. Just the thought of what could it be made Uriel eager to put his life at risk to get new artifacts. Finally, now…

Uriel made sure to carefully study the carvings on the pedestal beneath the smartphone. Reading modern day words like 'smartphone' written in an ancient language should have been difficult, but somehow it was pretty straightforward and this left him pleasantly surprised to say the least. Samson smartphone: The latest and most advanced smartphone created by the Samson company, due to its high price it was considered to be rather luxurious. Not many people were able to acquire it before the company's…

What followed after the defeat of the skinwalker couldn't be called a celebration, there were no expressions of joy nor smiles, only silence. Medusa was dying. "She's not gonna make it." Luna whispered far enough from her wounded companion to prevent her from listening to her grim sentence. "How do you know? Huh!? Are you a doctor now?" Sam asked in a disbelieving tone. "Doctor? Not really, but because of my career path I'm well versed in human anatomy. Her rib cage is cracked and has a…

The group readied themselves for battle, as much as a bunch of college students with little to no real life battle experience could possibly be. Luna grabbed the pole of a standing lamp to use as a spear, Sam lifted up a chair wielding it awkwardly across the commercial building, but both Medusa and Uriel were barehanded. She didn't need a weapon because of her martial arts training while Uriel could make his revolver appear instantly thanks to his trait. The group traversed the halls, shops and…

"WAIT! You'll scar him for life!" Luna shouted so loud Uriel had to cover his ears, in a desperate attempt to prevent Medusa from using her trait. She had seen the effect it had on Shaker and it wasn't pretty, he was so afraid his whole personality changed. "The corpse is gone, this is the real Medusa." She continued once she noticed she had everyone's attention. The group turned to look at the place where the corpse was supposed to be, the ground was stained in red but there was no corpse and no flux…

"What did the hell did you do!?" Sam cried as he launched forward, throwing himself on top of Medusa's corpse as if to prevent her from suffering further attacks. Although the bullet wound was small leaving most of her face untouched, there was a gruesome exit wound on the back of her head that disfigured her skull and unfortunately for Sam, he was able to see everything clearly. "I killed the shapeshifter." Uriel muttered, his hands still shaking from the adrenaline, it was his first time firing a gun.…

"Listen Medusa, we've been to the next building already, but this one is unspoiled. I bet there must be something we can use somewhere in here." Uriel said at almost the same time the other group was discussing their own plans in the next building. "I don't know, this place was an office building, besides some files, cabinets and stationery I don't think we'll find much." She shrugged. "An office building uh..." Uriel said taking his time to re adjust his plan. "It doesn't matter what kind of…

Sam and Luna became terribly worried when they noticed Uriel didn't make it to the same building they were in. He was right behind Medusa one second, then the next he was nowhere to be seen, not even with Sam's trait that allowed him to see as clear as day even in total darkness. "I'll send him a message." Said Luna as she took out her phone and exchanged messages with Uriel. Her usual poker face seemed to crumble for a brief second when she learned that Uriel was with Medusa. Everything would have been…
