I approached the second box with swift steps boosted with my expectations for new pieces of information. I slowly lifted the lid of the box. Insides of it were filled with golden coins, mask from some mysterious dark metal with golden engravings of dragons and one letter. I ignored the coins and grabbed the letter. I wanted to read it but there was only a blank paper.
I franticly flipped the letter in my hands multiple times in search of text. ‘What is this supposed to mean? Maybe another showcase of Orianes craziness? Anyway, I will keep it. Maybe something will show up later.’
I placed the letter on the table and grabbed one of the coins. They looked anciently, with unknown symbols. ‘At least, these will be useful. They are minimally worth their weight in gold... Oh, I still have that sword to test’
I picked up the sword handle. In few moments a dark mist formed in the place where should be a blade. This mist slowly changed to a curved metal blade shining like a chroma. The blade was covered with intricate carvings of unknown symbols. These carvings were glowing with faint red and gold lights. I tried to swing it. It was incredibly light and sharp. I managed to cut one of the chairs in half only with a light swing.
‘Pchh, maybe it is sharp and light. Even the looks of it are incredibly cool, but it is still something useless as a sword. I can’t really use a sword in a gunfight.’
Angry about this useless sword I spotted the vial with a mysterious liquid. ‘I almost forget about you. But this is the end of your attempts to escape me. I will drink your contents now’ I grabbed a vial, unbottled it, and hesitantly lifted it to my mouth with fear and anticipation. It smelled like iron with something divine in it. When the first drop of it touched the tip of my tongue it tasted like something you might taste when you eat hot plasma formed by lightning.
A few hours later:
I woke up after a few hours of being unconscious. “Huh, how long I was out ?” I got up out of the ground and sat on the chair. My whole body was aching and I terrible exhaustion but I could feel an incredible strength in my newly reformed muscles. I tried to lift a heavy white box full of coins and it went surprisingly easy. It was like lifting a regular bottle of water. Then I tried to do some push-ups but the pressure of my hands bent the floor so I had to stop.
Happy with the results I thought ‘I want to hunt but I am so exhausted that I will probably drop sleeping the exact same moment that I touch my bed.’ so I went straight to my bed, I was too exhausted to change my clothes or to clean myself.
Next Morning:
I woke up the next morning to the ringing of my phone. I reluctantly raised from my bed and picked up the phone.
“Hello? Who is it?” I asked
“Why didn’t you come to work yesterday. And you didn’t even called about it. I hope you have a good reason for this.“ said an angry voice of my boss
‘What is he thinking to shout on me. I will be on the top now. I will rule and he will serve me as a source of energy’
“Hahaha, I am quitting the job! I am no more a slave of society” I said and canceled the call. My phone started to ring again but I ignored it because now is time for the first hunt.
‘I will consume him!’ I thought and laughed with the thrill on my first hunt. After few moments I calmed down and started to rationally think again ‘I can’t just walk to his office and slay him. It would cause lots of problems down the road. I should wait for him when he will be back from the work’.
I put on me one of the outfits from my mother. It consisted of pure black, knee-length dresses with small cleavage. On top of them, I put a black overcoat with small golden decorations and without any buttons. This overcoat had cut similar to that of Neo from the movie I once saw on television. Next, I put on black kitten heels shoes. And finalized the whole outfit with a mask from a white box.

Evening the same day:
With my blade in my pocket, I waited hidden in bushes near the house of my former boss. It was already dark outside so I activated my night vision. After an unknown time of waiting, I heard a car on the driveway. My heart started to pound with excitement and anticipation. I started to walk towards him.
Unnamed Boss POV:
I stepped out of my car. An started to walk in the direction of the front entrance of my house. In this part of the year, darkness comes early, so it was already dark and cold outside.
I put the key into the lock but before I could turn the key to unlock, I got a chilly feeling on my back almost like someone was standing right behind me. I turned around and spotted a young-looking girly figure in a weird outfit and creepy mask.
“Who are you? What do you want?”
“...” Figure was still standing on the same spot without any response.
“If is this some kind of prank, I warn you, I have no mood for this tonight.” I said again now with a mix of fear and irritation in my voice.
“In that case you are a lucky man. Because this is no prank!”
‘That voice is familiar… Ohh, it’s her that crazy employee of mine. What does she want here?’
“Hey, Julia. What are you thinking that you are doing here. If you don’t get away right now I will call the police and let them lock you in the asylum where do you belong.” I said with a voice now filled with anger at being stalked by that small weirdo.
She didn’t respond and started to walk towards me. She now had a sword in her right hand. Her steps were childish and her eyes were shining with golden light.
“Do not take any more steps toward me” I shouted with evident panic in my voice.
She ignored me and continued with slow steps.
I tried to step back but my retreat was blocked by my own doors. Now panicking I tried to unlock them. I managed it in the time, quickly got inside, and locked them behind me.
‘She must went totally crazy. I need to call the police and quickly.‘
I took out a phone from my pocket. But before I could do anything, the doors of my house shattered almost like they were made of a thin layer of glass.
‘This is not possible. She can’t be so strong with that small figure’
“Let me be, please!” I pleaded
“Why would I do that now? When I already took so much of an effort to pay you a nice visit?”
She kept approaching me. My legs frozen in fear couldn’t move. Now only a few centimeters from me. Her lips moved with a fakely childishly sounding voice “I should hurry up and kill you before you pee yourself”
Sword moved towards me and …
