Chereads / Astral Prominence / Chapter 12 - Nightfall I

Chapter 12 - Nightfall I

"How the fuck did these weeks pass so quickly?" I sighed as I stood up from the lotus position and stretched my body after the boring meditation session I just finished.

It's been nearly a month since I transmigrated into this world. I've pretty much just been in the training facility ever since I first got in here and I never left. There's already a bedroom, bathroom, and other necessities in the facility, so I had no reason to go outside other than to leave when I finished my training.

"I broke through to Rank 1 at least so I should be able to be alright at the beginning of the semester but I can't be complacent, If I do I'll just be asking for death or an even more miserable fate," I muttered under my breath as I looked at my status screen.

Feeling the Gamma flowing through my body, strengthening it passively I walked to my closet put on a black outfit, and left the facility to go to the living room of the estate. I saw my Father, Cassandra, Liliana, Jakari, and Zabrina when I got there.

"Look who was the last to show up. Were you getting one last beat session in before we go off to Nightfall? I know you're not gonna get any bitches when we get there so it's ok if you don't want to admit it." Jakari mocked.

I pointed at Jakari with my right thumb and responded, "This is the guy I have to deal with? The guy who has to pay for pussy because he has no personality? Whatever, beggars can't be choosers I guess."

"Alright you two enough," Father cut in, "You two can kill each other when you guys go through orientation." He said and walked towards the door.

We all followed him out the front door and it was there for the first time that I was actually seeing the world of Blood of Darkness for the first time.

It was nighttime currently but the sky was beautiful. The stars illuminated the skies along with the flying cars that were all flying to the same location it seemed.

The city of Blüdhaven was a fantastic metropolis filled with skyscrapers and plazas. It was the most prosperous city in all of Atlantica, even the capital paled in comparison to it and could even be seen as the capital in name.

A carbon black flying vehicle was waiting for us and standing next to the doors were guards dressed in black suits and half masks. They were the personal guard of the Tiji Family, fearless killers who were willing to do anything for the family's protection and stable growth in power.

Not saying a word my Father nodded at the guards and we all followed him inside the flying vehicle.

The inside looked like a hummer limousine that you would find on Earth, just that there was a lot more space. The fabric that was used for the seating was clearly top-of-the-line and the starlights on the roof of the car just made the vibe even better.

I should really get some bitches in here. I don't know why I didn't in the past but I'll be sure to make up for my mistakes when we get there.

Getting seated in the back I stretched out my legs, put my hands behind my head, laid back, and closed my eyes. This was the last time I could be this carefree and relaxed before dealing with the events that'll take place at Nightfall and I was going to take full advantage of it.

The car started to rise in altitude very fast, giving me a fearful and nervous feeling in my chest. It felt like the pause you get at the top of a rollercoaster before the drop.

The car then boosted at top speed but we didn't feel the acceleration against momentum in the air so nobody was looking like they were pushed back by a certain force, it joined the massive wave of other cars that all traveled in the same direction.

Hours passed and I opened my eyes back up looked out the window and narrowed my eyes when I saw that many flying cars including ours seemed idle.

They were just hovering around in the sky as if they were waiting for something. I looked around inside the vehicle and saw that my father, stepmother, and half-sibling reacting to the situation with indifference and acted casually as if nothing was going on at all.

Seeing their unbothered reaction to this scene I pushed it to the back of my mind and waited for something to happen.

After about an hour a huge vibration echoed through the sky, gamma glowed faintly around the flying cars, isolating them from the effects of the vibrations.

A massive portal opened up in the middle of the sky, radiating dense gamma, The black and red portal gave an ominous glow and feeling making one feel like they were about to enter the ninth level of hell.

A deep foreboding began to rise in my soul as I stared at the demonic portal that wished to devour everyone and everything around its vicinity.

"Welcome to Nightfall Academy Zaire," The deep voice of my father echoed in my mind, he was using some kind of sound technique to communicate with me without anyone else in the car knowing, "As soon as you step through the other side everything will be off limits and there will be no rules. Your siblings will have free reign to kill you as they please and I won't be able to stop them."

I nodded my head and stared at the back of the heads of my sidling and a cold, demonic intent festered within my heart, soul, and mind.

I have no idea what the hell is going to happen on the other side but thinking of the things that'll go down here based on the story a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

This was going to be good.
