I'm Not A Hero by Nick Venom (you can read anyone .TXT) 📕

Cat has an offensive power while Hunter has a defensive power. The pastor would be more of a target than the saint. The pastor read from the bible on his podium out loud, not noticing Cat sneaking upon him.  Cat created a dagger from his power and sneaked closer to the pastor. She raised her dagger and stabbed at his leg. He let out a yelp as he fell to the ground. Now on the ground, Cat used this to her advantage and stabbed him in the face. His body twitched as his body didn’t understand what was happening. Cat looked up at the balcony and smiled, her face having blood splattered onto it. 

Hunter sneaked into May’s room, who had a pair of headphones on and not hearing Litch’s yelp of pain and surprise. He sneaked into a dark corner of her room and held onto a knife that he got from Cat. His hands started sweating as May stood up from her desk and laid down on her bed. She rested one of her arms over her eyes. Hunter walked out of the shadows and sneaked over to May’s bed. May took her arm off her eyes and looked up at her attacker. She opened her mouth to scream but Hunter plunged the knife into it; stopping her from screaming and wounding her. He cut her throat and tongue, effectively stopping her from making any sounds. He then took the knife out of her mouth and plunged it into her skull, effectively killing her. He wiped his brow full of sweat and sat down on the wooden floor. “That was hard,” He whispered.

Cask appeared moments later and forced everybody to meet at the podium. “Corrupted blood,” She remarked. “I will surely enjoy this.” She said while nibbling at the pastor’s throat. “Your powers are now yours.” 

“Then it’s time to finally target the hero Ice and his group!” Hollow declared. Cask smiled and nodded.

“It’s your time… “ Cask remarked. “To end your suffering.”

Uin (pronounced: U-in)

Quzin (pronounced: Q-u-zin)

Hollow once lived in the town of Star, riddled by others and abandoned by his parents. He stuck to the town out of vague nostalgia, but now with rumors flying around about the murder of the saint and pastor, he felt no connection to the small town anymore. Instead, he chose to depart the town and the faint connections he had with it to venture on his road of vengeance and spite. 

Hollow decided to follow an obscure path to a town far from Star, being the merchant-heavy town of Looms. The town was run by the archer of the hero party, Uin. Uin built the city up from a plot of land and nurtured the town and its economy to rival the economic juggernaut that is the capital, Quzin. Uin resided in the town in a mansion that became to be known as the Archer Paradise, a four-story mansion that took up two football fields, width, and length. Hollow didn’t have any specific hate against Uin, but he was known to indulge himself in girls, using drugs or his charm; Sometimes, he would use both. Hollow shook his mind of any thoughts about Uin before dropping a black duffle bag that he picked up before leaving Star. He opened the bag and took out a small notebook. He flipped to a specific page and scanned it. The page is a hitlist of those in the top tier of society. The hero and his party were listed as well as the royal family and the church. The pastor and saint’s name were crossed out. He closed the notebook and dropped it into the bag, zipping it up. He picked the bag up and continued walking, expressing no words to Cat or Hunter. The siblings looked at each other, clearly confused but didn’t exchange any words with each other. The only words that could be heard was that of Cask. Her spirit was stuck in the town of Star but could be moved by using a human body as her host. Hollow volunteered to be her host to move her to Looms. 

“The top tier has wronged you,” Cask whispered to Hollow. “You must help him.” He told the siblings. The three nodded and allowed Cask to slowly infuse herself with their minds. 

Hollow continued on the path that took him to the town of Looms. He reached the gate and chatted with the guards, bribing them with cash he took from the church. They took the money and allowed them through, not noticing the mysterious aura that hovered over the three. 

Once inside of the town, the three parted ways due to Cask’s instructions. Cask sent Cat to gather information from the taverns while Hunter was given the mission of finding the weak points of the town. Hollow was sent to figure out Uin’s escape plan and the layout of his mansion, which he completed by sneaking in through his shadows and marking down the layouts of individual rooms on the notebook. Once all three completed their missions, they returned to meet up at a room they rented out. Cat learned an estimated location of the hero and his remaining group members while Hunter discovered a sheet displaying the guard shifts and vulnerable parts of the wall. Hollow, on the other hand, sketched a layout of every room in the Archer Paradise as well as figuring out the guard shifts. Hollow discovered the same sights every time he ventured into the mansion, finding items that you would expect a millionaire to have from paintings to vases and even expensive-looking furniture. Passed out women would lay all over the floor and couches, some in Uin’s bed along with him. Hollow investigated Uin’s room and discovered drugs stuffed away in closets. He drugged and raped the women, who didn’t understand anything when they woke up in the morning. Knowing this, Hollow attempted to grab one of the girls that Uin drugged and brought in moments ago, but a voice echoing off the walls interrupted him. “Where’s the new girl?” Uin’s voice shouted. “I want to take a taste of her soon.” Hollow cringed and crept back into the shadows, mouthing off apologizes to the woman who will soon join the list of women Uin has raped. He decided to return to the inn room with Cask’s plan now set in motion.

“Two days from now… Uin will be dead,” remarked Hollow. “Two days… “
