Chapter 11: Survival's Edge
"Riley!" Jones shouted, waving and rushing over to him. Riley was stunned as Jones approached him, and then..."What are you doing here?" they both exclaimed simultaneously.Riley glared at his friend. "You're supposed to be heading to the Military Science Academy. So why are you in the Abyss? You're not a fighter!"Jones glared back just as fiercely. "And you never mentioned going to Defense Academies. Are you crazy? You need to be at least stage 2 to survive in there! You're only stage 1. They'll tear you apart."They stared at each other for a moment before sighing in unison."I don't get it. The Management is insane," Jones confessed anxiously. "We, the science academy candidates, had a test. Those who passed got tossed into the Abyss. If we 'survive,' they'll accept us. We'll spend our lives in labs. Why put us through this Abyss nonsense?"Riley patted Jones's shoulder reassuringly. "Just steer clear of the city. There are villages nearby."Feeling conflicted, Riley admitted, "I

Chapter 12: In The Dark
"Where am I?" Riley asked out. His voice echoed in the space where he stood, and his eyes roamed within its socket as he tried to find something recognizable about where he stood.His ears picked up the sound of sought rumbling underneath his feet, and the cracking of the wall which drifted his attention from the ground to the rough wall. His heart skipped beat as soon as a fragment of the wall broke and fell to the ground, giving off a tiny passage for faint light to pierce through the darkness.With bold steps, he walked towards the opening, and while she fought against the bright light and tried to have a view of the outside through the tiny opening, there was nothing he could find which could give him a memory of where he stood.He let out a slight groan in his frustration, running his hands through his air as he turned around. His eyes fell on the weakened Byssted knight on the ground. It was injured, in a state which captured all of his consciousness before something else bought

Chapter 13: Challenge Accepted
"Oh no!" Riley groaned the words as soon as he sighted the Morpher by the side. He was well aware of what it was. Perhaps, he had heard stories of this breed of monstrosity, yet, for the first time ever, he stood face to face with what he had initially considered as a rumour.He took two steps backwards as he stared at the figure before him. The Morpher as well never moved an inch. It still remained there, as though it was frozen. But Riley never wanted to conclude so.He could feel the life inside this figure as it peered into his eyes deeply, feeling something eerie about it which he coding fathom or place his hands on.From where he stood, he could sense a form of power exuding from him. This power was that which was way beyond what he could decipher, way above what he could fathom.He would have concluded that this figure was the source of the power, yet, he shook his head in doubt of what thoughts pierced his mind.The entire place was quiet, yet the air around them both was dist

Chapter 14: HARD WILL IS REQUIRED
The Morpher was accelerating in its speed, flapping its heavy wings as it scaled upwards. Riley's eyes were widened as he stared at the ground from where he was seated, and his hands were gradually becoming sweaty as he slipped from the back of the beast.He grabbed on tighter with a louder groan, struggling just so he wouldn't fall from such height. His mind had pictured just a thousand outcomes if he dropped from such a height.Yet, his fingers were aching, his tenacity was wearing out. His hands were slipping, until he lost grip of the firm body of the creature, and dropped from the height.He landed on his feet, falling backwards with his head hitting the ground as he went unconscious. A few seconds had passed and he opened his eyes with a deep gasp for air, swallowing hard as he jerked from the ground."Oh my God!" He said out loud. He looked at his legs, and looked at his hands before he lifted his eyes towards the sky.Slowly, the memories were returning. He could remember drop

Chapter 15: RISE FROM THE ASHES
Riley laid on the ground with his eyes closed. Soon after, he could feel a little bit of strength within his bones and more life as he picked himself up from the ground.His eyes were glued with the creature as he tried to catch his breath. His hands and limbs were aching, and his head was aching as well as he struggled to decipher what went on within the day."I've had the roughest day!" He heaved the words out. How could he explain his sudden appearance in a cave, and the presence of a Byssted knight there? How could he also decipher the sudden transition between the battle of the Byssted knight to the battle with the Morpher?He knew the specialty of his awakening. He knew the potential of the gauntlet around his wrist. Yet, he never also knew the intentions of the creator of these beasts, and what they sought from him as well.He sat there, unsure of what the future had for him. With each passing day, he hoped to achieve the answer to the questions which troubled his heart. His fu

Chapter 16: REGRETS ARE INEVITABLE
"What have I done?" Riley whispered the question to himself. His face was pale and squeezed as thought flooded through his mind. His eyes were wet, as though he was about to tear up as he looked around himThere was so much carnage, rocks broken with the little pebbles spread through the floor. He looked to the side, to the sight of men who groaned as they struggled to pick themselves from the ground with blood flowing down their bodies.One after the other, he could see the other men who walked out of their hiding places with their eyes widened, and their mouths agape as they pointed their fingers towards him.Riley stood still, staring at each of them. There was guilt which rose inside his heart, a feeling of having to explain his actions to those who stared at him.Then he realized that their eyes were drifted away from him, to where the trinity lay. It was the trinity their fingers pointed towards. He turned around to the unholy sight of what he had done.Their bodies were filled

Chapter 17: THE NEW AGE OF DAWN
It was getting tougher as the minutes passed. As Riley moved through the streets of the system, the only strange thing he could notice were the pictures of himself pasted everywhere, holograms of himself displayed in the sky, and even his name on the lips of many.At that point, he realized that there was none probably on his side. He was on his own, no one to call a friend as each person he passed by had the same intentions like the rest. The bounty on his head was just too juicy for anyone to resist, and he was always on the run as he was most sought after.Was this the result or the benefits he got from overthrowing the trinity in charge of the system? Was this the appreciation he got for setting the system and everyone in it free from the hands of those who were under the influence of the trinity?These questions flooded his mind as he walked through the streets, lowering his head with his hood over his head as he tried to keep his identity secret.Riley walked his way until he si

The latter hummed in satisfaction as the sweet morning scent of her husband hit her nostril.Riley was glad that he could wake up every day to Leila beside him and while he didn't know what to expect in his marriage, it had turned out to be quite amazing.The sun rose through the curtain, giving the room a warm golden light.Riley rose up from the bed and grabbed his schedule book, skimming through the content to understand how his day would look."Babe... I have to go to work." He said realizing he had a special meeting with the board of directors of his consortium.Riley had been able to establish an empire that would be the phase of the entire country and half population of the world as well."I thought we would spend more time together?" Leila muttered through the sheets."I know, but you need to understand that today's meeting is important." Leila rose from the bed, he

Chapter 19: A MISTAKE
"So how has life been with you and your wife ofcourse.." Jessica asked barely minutes into their meal. Riley had believed it was going to be a mere casual meal, but it was obvious that it was far from being a casual meal, Jessica really wanted to know more about him."Are we here to talk about my wife?" Riley asked, not liking the question."I thought we are here to catch up and know my duty as your personal assistant." Jessica asked with a shrug of her own."Listen, I don't know what propaganda you are planning, but it wouldn't work. After what you did to me months ago Jessica, I don't trust even your shadows any more.," Riley knew his words would cut deep, but that was his intention either ways."How would you say something like that?

Jessica blow back with intensity in her voice.Riley noticed their conversation was beginning to draw people 's attention and th
