Chapter 52: Ghoul....

Inside the dark void, Alex stood feeling a sense of foreboding. This was supposed to be where he gained his new class, but why was it so eerie? Stella was done in a few minutes, but he felt like hours had passed, and nothing had changed.

He stepped forward and stopped dead as the world lurched sideways, looking back only to find the darkness that seemed to close around him like a cocoon.

Alex was confused; there was no announcement or words spoken; lingering in the darkness alone caused his mind to become frustrated and stressed; was his device faulty? 

Would Paolo trick him into getting Stella?

All sorts of paranoid and fearful thoughts filled his mind, those that should no longer affect him; since becoming a ghoul, he lost these thoughts; he was supposed to have gotten past his weak self.
