I gently pry open my heavy eyelids, awakening to the ethereal capsules that enshroud me. Transparent and delicate, they contain life's essence in their emerald fluid. That's right... I'm inside this never ending nightmare... A nightmare I always want to escape...As I survey the room, identical capsules dot my surroundings, each cradling a suspended human. The intricate spiderweb of wires courses across their bodies, connecting them to a multitude of machines emitting a symphony of beeps. It's a surreal sight, equal parts mesmerizing and disconcerting.The sterile air bears a peculiar scent, a blend of antiseptic and anxiety. Doctors in their white coats scurry about, clutching documents with fervor, their brows furrowed with purpose. Their presence intensifies the ominous atmosphere that permeates the room.In a distant corner, a piercing cry shatters the eerie silence, reverberating through the otherwise tranquil space. It acts as a haunting reminder of our collective destiny as me

Chapter 2: Mystery Unraveled

Concealed Warriors /Hiko03

The masked man, known as 002, moved with a blinding speed, his figure a blur as he charged straight towards me. The intensity of his actions was magnified by the piercing blue glow emanating from his eyes, a reflection of his twisted intentions. Here we go again-! A single strike will surely leave me breathless!As his evil smirk etched itself deeper onto his face, he launched a powerful fist towards me, his knuckles aimed to strike my very core. Oh shoot! This might be my end! Move-! But before his blow could land, 001, the valiant warrior with her shimmering white sword, swiftly intercepted and parried."055, now!" commanded 001, her voice resolute and filled with unwavering determination. So she's the leader? No! That's not what should be on my mind right now! I need to help them...In a breathtaking display of agility and grace, 055, who had been silently perched on the ceiling, dove down with twin daggers gleaming in her hands. They are warriors, a warrior who faces this ki

Chapter 3: New Encounter

Concealed Warriors /Hiko03

"Kazu! Wake up already!" Haru's voice gently rouses me from my deep slumber, coaxing me back to reality.I reluctantly peel my eyelids open, only to be greeted by Haru's face peering down at me. She's the early bird, ready to seize the day, while I feel like I could sleep for decades.Ah, first day of my freedom... I can't wait to explore the world! If it's the same world as mine... But still, atleast I escaped that cage. I still wonder how and why though.As I finally manage to sit up, I take in the scene before me. The group is bustling around, making preparations to leave. What catches my attention is their attire today. They are not wearing the black hoods. Haru dons a fierce black warrior dress, with a belt-like structure adorning her chest and neck. Ayame, also wearing a black dress accentuated with iron plates resting on each of her shoulders. Hayuki and Yumi, as usual, are almost identical in their choice of clothing, both clad in matching gray cloaks. And then there's Kaito,

Chapter 4: An Old Friend

"You—!" I exclaimed, my voice laced with disbelief and anger as I swiftly assumed a defensive stance to block the masked man's incoming attack.Alright, I just need to buy some time...but are they really coming? I sure hope so. I can handle a good ol' punch-for-punch showdown, but when it comes to keeping Ayaka safe, I'm at a loss. So, for now, I'll face this guy head-on and brainstorm solutions as I go. Gotta think on my feet and make it work!With lightning reflexes, I managed to intercept his strike, but the impact sent me hurtling through the thick tangle of tree branches, my body soaring through the air, carried away for miles. The world became a blur of green and brown as I desperately clung to consciousness.Hold on a second, how is he still alive? Wasn't he supposed to be toast when that facility burned down? Oh yeah, right, he's some sort of weapon! Well, guess what? So am I! My body's reacting differently this time around. I can definitely put up a fight against him, but defe

Chapter 5: Membership

"He wants me to help him kill everyone in the world, and in return, he said he'll help bring down this facility. But his motives go beyond that; it's just a part of his plan," I spoke, my voice echoing in the tavern.Haru, Hayuki, and Yumi sat on the left side, while Ayame, Kaito, and I sat on the right. Six of us sat around a large table filled with chicken, various meats, vegetables, fruits, and drinks. They stared down at the food, lost in thought rather than taking a bite.We came straight here after the encounter. Ayaka and her sister were taken into custody by the Order of the Silver Dawn, a group of high-ranking knights in the kingdom. They arrived shortly after 002 disappeared. The Veiled Guardians then brought me back to the kingdom, ensuring that even the knights wouldn't discover their true identity. We left the area before they could catch a glimpse of us. Now, we sat alone in Haru's tavern, even as the sun rose, spending two hours in silence.I couldn't help but wonder why

Chapter 6: Days Before the Duel

Concealed Warriors /Hiko03

It's been 8 days since the king declared that I'm now part of the Order. But there's still a chance to change that if I purposely lose the duel. The king even gave me his sword, thinking it wouldn't be fair for a kid like me to fight an Order's warrior. "Hey Kazu, you there?" I heard a voice accompanied by a knock on my room's door. I've been cooped up in this room for eight days, forbidden to leave the palace and only allowed to train indoors. The room has a fancy chandelier hanging from the ceiling, a large red curtain on the window, and a set of kitchen tables and chairs near the chimney in the corner. "Come in, Ayaka," I replied, staring at the ceiling as I lay on the bed. And with that, the door opened."I was just wondering... I haven't seen you train even once..." Her boots made a thudding sound as she approached the side of the bed."I know you're strong, but facing a warrior from the Order is no joke," she added."So you're here to lecture me?" I turned my head to look a

Chapter 7: A Duel With A Twist

Concealed Warriors /Hiko03

The day of the duel arrives, and the warm sun light the arena.As expected, the arena, the very place where Ayaka and I trained, is bustling with a lively crowd. The air is filled with cheers that reverberate throughout the area.And there I stand, in the center, facing off against my opponent. Knight in full iron armor, wielding a shield and sword, standing in a distance.Seated atop the arena are the king and the princess, accompanied by a group of knights from the Order, led by their captain that Ayaka named, Hiroshi. Ayaka mentioned that she had instructed Hiroshi to be extra vigilant and strict, prepared for any signs of danger."Good people of Silverstone! Adventurers! Warriors! Knights!" A man in a white suit strides to the center and shouts, pausing to stand between me and my adversary."The day we've all eagerly awaited has finally arrived! The time for the duel is here!"The crowd raises their hands in excitement, some even standing from their seats, while others cheer at the
