《The Midnight Man》Chapter 3 - BANG! BANG! BANG!
Advertisement
After a few minutes, Jessie's laughing was replaced with silence. Jessie just stood there, staring at Cindy and Kirk, a smile never leaving her face.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A loud banging noise was coming from the room on the left, about five rooms from the door.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
It was like someone or something was pounding on the door, trying to get out.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"What's making that noise?" Kirk asked with a shaky voice.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Why don't you go and find out," Jessie said
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Kirk started slowly walking towards the door, unsure if this was a mistake.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"You don't have to do this, Kirk!" Cindy shouted.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Yes, he does," Jessie stated. Cindy began wondering, how was she so calm?
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Kirk reached out for the door handle
BANG! BA-
The noise stopped when Kirk's hand was on the door handle.
"Go on, open it," Jessie encouraged, her smile growing. Kirk slowly turned the door handle and took a deep breath. Kirk pulled the door open and was surprised to see the room empty. Suddenly, Jessie sprinted to Kirk and pushed him so hard that he flew across the room and slammed into the wall.
"KIRK!" Cindy screamed. She started running towards Jessie and Kirk but the door closed before she got there.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The sound came from the door on the right this time.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"That one's for you," Jessie said evilly.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"No! I'll never listen to you!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Fine. I did try to help you, Cindy. But now, you'll see the consequences of disobeying them," Jessie said. She walked to a door on the right, about two doors away from the big double doors and went inside.

BANG! BANG! BANG!
Cindy sighed. She didn't have a choice. All the other doors were locked, her husband was unconscious and she was alone.
BANG! BANG! BA-
Like Kirk, Cindy's door stopped as soon as her hand was on the doorknob. Cindy turned the handle and pushed the door open. Cindy was shocked when she saw someone on the other side of the door grab her hand and pull her inside, closing the door behind her...

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.
