Mister Night

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car. The news had come through a frantic message on her phone, a warning from an anonymous source that sent her spiraling into a state of panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own.

“Aku bisa membantumu menjadi apa pun yang kau inginkan. Apa yang paling kauinginkan?” Dia bertanya dengan suara lembut sambil menyapu rambut dari dahinya. “Kau benar-benar berpikir bahwa aku akan dengan tulus memeluk seseorang serendah dirimu?” Malu, dia menghindari tatapannya dan mengepalkan tangannya sampai memutih. “Bahkan pikiranmu konyol. Kau sangat menyadari identitasku…” “Ya, aku tahu.” “Kalau begitu katakan. Siapa aku?” Tangan yang memainkan rambutnya, bergerak turun melewati dagunya, dan berakhir di sekitar tenggorokannya. Menguji kekuatan cengkeramannya, dia perlahan mulai memberikan lebih banyak tekanan dan memaksanya untuk melihatnya. Napasnya terasa sakit saat dia mengangkatnya dengan memegangi lehernya hingga tumitnya sedikit terangkat dari lantai. “Aku juga memegang nasib adikmu di telapak tanganku.” Dia bisa melihatnya di matanya, sesuatu di dalam dirinya telah hancur. Matanya, yang dulunya menyerupai langit malam berbintang, tidak lagi memiliki bintang. Saat dia melihat cahaya di matanya memudar, dia mengendurkan tangannya.

Ya, itu jelas merupakan keinginan. Setelah dia mengakui perasaannya, dia mulai ingin memiliki seluruh dunianya. “Jika aku tidak bisa memilikimu, aku akan menghancurkanmu.”
