Chapter: History Lesson Maya looked at Isolde, her mind racing with questions. "And what about the Beastkin? Where do we fit into this story?"Isolde continued the history lesson as he walked Maya through the dimly lit hall adorned with portraits. "The nurse was never found. It was believed he died with the doctor," he said, his voice steady."Is that what you believe?" Maya cut in, her eyes narrowing with curiosity.Ignoring her question, Isolde pressed on. "In 2028, four years after the first attack, with humanity still fending off attacks from behemoths who had escaped, something extraordinary happened at the General Emergency Ward. Every single woman in the ward, all of whom had been in a coma, was found to be pregnant."Maya's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "How come no one knows of this nowadays?" she asked.Isolde sighed. "The government stepped in and buried the case. One of the stakeholders of the hospital was a diamond head at the time. He was simply protecting his investment," he explained. "The wa

Chapter: Seeking AnswersIn the dim, luxurious ambiance of Isolde's mansion, he and Isabel lay entwined on the lavish bed, their passionate kisses filling the room with a heated intensity. They were immersed in the moment as their bodies moved in perfect rhythm.The massive wooden door creaked open, and two guards cautiously entered, worried expressions on their faces. The tall man with the scar across his cheek was the first to speak."I'm sorry, Isolde, but we tried to stop her, but we couldn't."The second guard, a younger man with a look of nervous urgency, added, "She said she had to speak to you directly, sir."With a sigh, Isolde ended his intimate time. He started to get up off the bed, his attitude changing from annoyance to interest. The door was thrown open violently just as he was about to get out of bed. With a fierce look in her eyes, Maya stood in the doorway. "I need answers now, Isolde, and you had better not hold back.”Isolde glanced at Isabel still sprawled across the bed, her gaze linger

Chapter: Surviving Is Winning As they stepped into Hall 6, the grading system's robotic voice echoed through the vast space. "Welcome to Hall 6, your stats, battle IQ, and kill time will be recorded for assessment and rank re-evaluation. You may now begin."The inner gates creaked open, revealing a chaotic arena filled with Grade-C Behemoths. Without hesitation, Liam dashed forward, his agile frame weaving through the battlefield.“Y'all would beg me to stop,” he said as he dashed in. His speed and ability to maneuver in the environment made him a blur, striking the first Behemoth with lethal precision.

"Let's see what these babies do," he muttered, taking a steady position. He aimed carefully and fired. The rounds hit their targets with pinpoint accuracy, freezing the Behemoths on impact. David's calm demeanor and sharp shooting s

Chapter: Hall 6The training grounds buzzed with energy as the Beavers' squad went through their rigorous drills. The team, known for their cohesion and skill, was testing new ammunition rounds developed to enhance their effectiveness against the Behemoth threat.Liam Connor, a burly figure with a sharp wit, loaded an INB623 round into his rifle, grinning at his squadmates. "Watch this, guys. If this works, it'll be like winter came early for the Behemoths."Noah Bennett, tall and lean with a strategic mind, adjusted his own weapon, readying a GTH46 round. "Dr. Elara says this stuff will slow those monsters down to a crawl. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action."David Lee, always the technician, checked the calibration on his rifle. "The INB623 should freeze on impact, making the Behemoths easier targets. Combine that with the GTH46, and we've got ourselves a solid one-two punch."Emma Collins, with her keen eyes and steady aim, nodded as she tested her weapon's sights. "Just make sure you don'

Chapter: Reflection and Revelation The sound of distant medical equipment hummed with the sterile smell of antiseptics as Maya drifted in and out of consciousness created a bizarre atmosphere. She rushed through the hospital wing hallways of Neo-Citadel, feeling herself lightened. Her body felt heavy and unresponsive, the bruises and cuts from the fight still fresh. Through the haze came Asher's voice, a steady murmur of haste and anxiety. "Maya, keep going. We're getting close."David Lee, another trusted member of her squad, matched Asher's pace, his face set in grim determination. "She's strong. She'll pull through."They finally burst into Dr. Elara Frost’s ward, where the lead scientist immediately sprang into action. Elara, with her sharp, focused eyes and calm demeanor, began taking vital readings from the array of monitors and sensors attached to Maya.Elara's fingers flew over the console as she mumbled, "Her vitals are fluctuating." "She's in some kind of metabolic flux." Maya's body jerked as though someth
