“ROBERTA! ROBERTA! FUCKING OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!” Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Luke screamed and shouted all he wanted but no one heard him. When he punched the door, it didn't even budge because of its durability. At this point in time, Luke was fuming, forehead covered in pulsating veins and his face completely frightening. Seeing that no one could hear him, he proceeded to destroy all the lights in the safe room, making the room pitch dark but his anger didn't lessen. ROOOAAARRR!!! He released a growl-like roar that was completely inhuman, his body grew larger and taller, his clothes got torn and he became something else entirely. Only his purple glowing eyes could be seen in the darkness, nothing else. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! The force of his attacks was now stronger than before, multiple times stronger but against the wall, he was still no match for it as it was made from reinforced steel and was also a shock absorber. After throwing a tantrum for a while, the room suddenly became quiet but within this silence, there was a stifling pressure that one could only feel after entering. Luke closed his eyes and began to focus. Once focused, he was assaulted by multiple voices and noise at the same time which broke his concentration and he had to start over. Luke kept failing to focus but he didn't give up and kept on trying. He tried until he succeeded in keeping his concentration through the loud noises assaulting his ears. Now came the difficult part, filtering out the noises he didn't want to hear and focussing on the ones he did want to hear. … Roberta lived in an isolated suburban area and had her mansion built close to the river’s edge. It covered an area of 50 thousand square feet and was truly an infrastructural masterpiece. The roadway all the way to the main hall was red carpet, the dining hall no different from a 5 star restaurant and the mansion itself like a 5 star hotel that hosts only the elites of the elite. Only the highest quality food and finest of wines were served to the guests. “Roberta, you really outdid yourself this time.” “Yeah, I never thought I'd see the day where you of all people stopped holding back and spent your money like this!” “What happened Roberta, are you dying or something?” Roberta's friends praised her as well as inquired about her situation with worried expressions. “Guys, it's nothing like that. I'm not dying, not now, not anytime soon. It’s just that I've realised how old I've grown. I'm now 57 years old, if I still save money, when will I actually get the chance to enjoy it? I didn't work my ass off just so I could die and leave my accumulated wealth to my kids, I want to enjoy the fruits of my labour, that's all.” Roberta gave a lengthy but meaningful explanation, making her friends nod again and again. “Guys, let's not allow Roberta to make us all nostalgic and sentimental. I'm sure you've all realised that she's glowing, like she's ‘glowing’.” “She must be getting it everyday if she's this radiant, haha. I bet she even got it before the party started, am I wrong?!” Roberta’s face instantly turned beet red now that her secret was out but she couldn't help but feel proud of herself for choosing a rare toy like Luke. “Hmph, you guys don't know anything, that boy is simply a tireless beast. He can go on and on until I beg for mercy, that's how good he is.” Roberta couldn't help but brag about Luke to her face and all of them were very jealous, which made her even happier. “Unfortunately, he hasn't been feeling well lately so I told him to rest for the rest of the day and that's what he's been doing. That's why you don't see him with me. Enough about me, what juicy stories have you heard so far?” “I thought you'd never ask, you all know Clara Harrison, right? Guess what, she was actually colluding with the Demons and performing rituals. Fortunately, she was quickly discovered and dealt with by the Star Church and House Of Nolan. All her assets wer
