Multiversal Ascension

Author Note:

This is my first-ever written novel, and English is my second language, so don’t expect a masterpiece at the start but I will try to get better at writing.

If you have constructive criticism, you can post a review. I will read it and reply if I can, but if you just want to post a 1-star with 'trash novel,' don’t bother your review will be 100% useless.

I have other things to say, but I don’t want to write a 500-word author note, so I’ll stop here.

Hope you enjoy the novel, happy reading!

-USA, Arcvale City, Downtown June 16, 2025

Approaching midnight, the streets were always bustling with beggars and thugs. It is a crime-riddled area after all, and the financially well-off won’t be caught dead downtown. You were never safe in the streets with the gangs and the various pickpockets that want nothing more than to empty your pocket or worse.

In the middle of Downtown lies a ‘beautiful’ three-story apartment building with nearly no graffiti. The Crow headquarters, the Crow is the gang that controls Downtown. They deal in drugs, thefts, murders, and a lot of other things, as long as they can obtain money, they can do anything.

On the 3rd and last floor lies the apartment of the boss of the Crow Mikael Angelini. Mikael is an orphan who grew up in dowtown and understands it perfectly well because of this. At 14 years Mikael created the Crow and from there, they have continued to grow, to the point they are now, where they are the lord of Downtown.

In a modern-looking bedroom with a big double bed, a bedside table with an alarm clock, and a wardrobe. Laying on a bed in the 3rd-floor apartment is a handsome young man with black hair, a well-defined body with defined muscle, and a hint of abs that were showing. He is also tall, approximately 6’2 (188 cm).

When Mikael woke up, it was possible to observe his striking green eyes, like 2 beautiful emeralds. The instant he woke up he instinctively took the gun that was placed under his pillow like every morning. I Have a feeling that today will be special, and probably not in a good way if I take in count my luck,’ he thought with a small smile.

Just after that Miakel went into the bathroom to take his daily shower, after his shower, he put on a white t-shirt, his black cargo pants, and a stylish-looking black Jacket. Of course, he didn't forget to attach his Glock 17 at his waist.’ If I forget to take my Glock I could end up committing suicide in the forest with 6 bullets in my back hahah…No, seriously I would be very dumb to trust my people because I know that the second I am perceived as weak or without defense I am dead and the first to kill me will be my guys before my enemies can do it.

Ring Ring Ring

Mike heard his phone ring. He took it out and saw that it was Jamar’ probably his the most loyal man. Jamar knew that without me his sister would be on the street selling her body for a little bit of food’.’ It couldn’t be me because I trust nobody and he is essentially putting the life of his sister in my hand '. Thought Ironically Mikael.

“Hello Boss, there is a problem with a cop. She is disturbing my men” spoke an annoyed Jamar.

“They are at it again hmm, who is it this time?

“Don’t know her name but I know that she is a small cop that doesn’t know how it works here.”

“Jamar, you should have taken care of this alone, but never mind I'll take care of it. You will come with me so that the next time you will know what to do. Also, give me your address so I can come but it will take at least 30 minutes before I am there” Mikael spoke exasperated.

“Ok we are at the park on 21st North Street” spoke Jamar

Mikael ended the call just after hearing this sentence. After having a fast breakfast, he got out of his apartment and got in his car a Black 2024 Acura Integra. He started the car and accelerated away quickly.

After 20 minutes of driving, he reached his destination, a small but peaceful park with a lot of vegetation. There Mike saw a tall buffed African American man with dreadlocks sitting on a bench in the park. Just after Mikael got out of his car he saw the African American man come to him.

“Boss Mikael, the cop is nearby just on the other side of the street. She is in her police uniform and she isn’t trying to be sneaky at all to catch the guys in the act of selling. I think she wants to put pressure or something so that the guys can’t trade.” Jamar spoke

“I'll go talk to her, come with me and don’t talk, just listen and learn.” spoke an exasperated Mike

Mikael moves to the police car with Jamar who is following him. He sees a young adult policewoman just outside of her police car leaning on it and looking at Mikael and Jamar. She has mid-length blonde hair and honey-colored eyes. She is wearing a dark blue police woman uniform with a name tag on her right shoulder with the name of Leia. She is also wearing a nightstick, a teaser, and of course, a Glock attached at her waist.

The beautiful police officer asked intrigued, “Hello, how can I help you?”

Mikael looks into the female cop's eyes, gives her a charming smile, and says “Hello, Miss Leia, did you hear of the proverb" curiosity kills the cat? Because I have heard that a cat was inquisitive around”

She frowned at the disguised threat and responded by saying ”I am doing my job by being curious and investigating criminal activities in Downtown.

“I Know but from what I heard the last cop that was a little too curious had a tragic end. From what I heard it was a break-in gone wrong, the burglars were surprised by the police officer, they killed him and just after escaped from the house”

“If you think that you will scare me you are wrong because I am not planning to let you continue to do your criminal activities unpunished like before” she spoke bravely even when she was a little scared.

“Think about it carefully because who said that the accident would touch you, maybe it will touch a random family or even your mother I can’t know”

This threat visibly affected her as she looked horrified by what Mikael was saying.

“How could you be so evil? You have to implicate innocent people and my loved ones? When you're having a problem with me? Spoke an outraged Leia

Mikael was visibly amused by her reaction.’ The goody-two shoes like hers are too easy to counter. You only need to menace the lives of innocent people and they will panic and don’t know what to do because they will want to stop you but they will also want to not cause the death of innocent persons.’

“You misunderstood, I won’t hurt anybody I only am saying a possible scenario that could happen”

“Boss, look at the sky what the fuck is that. I think this is a sign that I have taken a little too much drug recently.”Spoke an astonished Jamar.
