《Mystic The Gathering》Chapter 1 - The King
Advertisement
A Gulfstream G800 screeched across the stratosphere. Clocking at over 1,000 kilometers per hour, it aviated proudly across the majestic blue sky.
Inside the jet, a man, dressed in his signature Dormeuil Vanquish III suit and Chopard sunglasses, sat on his equally luxurious leather recliner. The aristocrat stared out of the window while sipping his white wine.
Honestly, I hate flying, but when you’re inside the most expensive private jet the world has to offer, it’s not bad, not bad at all. My plane can change your mind faster than you can say, Jack Robinson. Wait a minute. Who the fuck is Jack Robinson anyway? It needs rephrasing. Faster than you can say, Mister Henry King. That sounds so much better. I must instruct the Dean. Uh-huh. I need to make a mental note of this–
All power went out. Putting the wineglass down, the King gripped his hands on the armrest as if his life depended on it.
Don’t tell me. My state-of-the-art jet is going down in flames. Fucking great, just fucking–
When the power came back, the King loosened up with a slow smile. He removed his sunglasses and looked around.
Everything seems alright now.
“Sorry about that, Mr. King,” the pilot spoke through the intercom. “We probably encountered a solar flare or something, losing all power for maybe five seconds. I’ll have the engineers check on it as soon as we land. Don’t worry, sir. All systems are all good now.”
“Alright, Captain. By the way, how long to our destination?”
“ETA twelve minutes, Mr. King.”
“Excellent.”
Mr. Henry King gulped.
Was I scared? Not really. Power goes out for five seconds, no problem. My jet is equipped with all the necessary safety measures in case something like this happens.
He pressed his lips together and shook his head.

Yeah. Who am I kidding? I was terrified. All the money and power in the world couldn’t even save me if my jet went down.
Mr. King got to his feet and walked to another room.
That’s why I’m going to this important meeting. Julius said that they finally succeeded.
He entered a secret compartment, then touched a glass panel.
Hello, pal. Get ready. For sure, you will see some action this weekend.
Shortly after, Mr. King exited the room and stared out the window. “Hello, beautiful island.” He surveyed the view below, his eyes widening. “Captain, where’s the runway?”
“Mr. King, the watchtower said Mr. Power built the runway underground.”
“King’s flight,” the watchtower announced through the intercom, “please proceed to gate number three leading to our indoor runway.”
Mr. King scanned the island and noticed a portion of the beachfront opening.

Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?

Grim Beginnings
For most, ghosts and monsters were fantasy. For Tessa Byrne-Reyes, they were a constant in her daily life as a reaper. The legendary gods and creatures of mythology were, to her, historical figures. From a young age, she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders, possessing what she saw as a curse but what her family considered a gift. It was her birthright, to use her abilities to guide the deceased to the afterlife of an eternity in peace or in torment. Her classmates viewed her as "the fainting girl" who would pass out in the middle of a lesson with inexplicable injuries. She experienced each death in the town of Belmont Falls, from the mundane to the gruesome. A gunshot wound in the gut, broken ribs, her heart ceasing to beat for several minutes. No one understood what caused these incidents but over the years, she gained a reputation for being abnormal. While Tessa is the freak of Belmont Falls, Fin Belmont, the charming rebel and son of the richest man in town, is her polar opposite. Knowing each other for years but never saying more than a dozen words between them, one night changes everything, thrusting them into each other's unfamiliar and daunting worlds. Together, with the help of her best friend/his ex-girlfriend Elena, they begin to unravel secrets about their town and their pasts, learning that some secrets are better left buried and grudges can be held for centuries.
