POV: Dungeon Escape“Get up, you lazy ass!” A guard shouted, banging the cell door with his gun and directing the beam of a torch to light a stationary figure lying down inside the cell.The man did not move at all but patil had expected the behavior from him. He was one of the most difficult prisoners he had come across in all the four years he had been employed as one of the prison guards. He radioed, and his colleague told him about the situation. As usual, he gave a non-committal grunt that he was coming.Patil ignored his attitude; he had bigger things in mind, like a prisoner. The prisoner was tagged to Code Hazel by the warden who had warned the other guards to be careful with him as he was one of the top assassins in kedran.They had come across the information when one of the inmates recognized him as the Hooded assassin in the cafeteria section of the prison.He had lived up to his reputation and had lunged at the man who identified him but was stopped Mid-way in his attack

POV: Dungeon Escape? Part 2.Ruzio laid on the cold hard ground of the cell, analyzing the plans he had in mind. He had not expected any help from the Rebels but when he had seen the message from Advisor Thadron, he was a bit relieved and had regained his will to live.He wondered how he would face the Advisor, he had never failed an assignment before now. He had been proud of his skills and set and underestimated the difficulty of the task.“He vowed to himself not to do so again if he got out of the dungeon alive.” Everyone thought he had lost the will to live, he could see it in their eyes and he laughed inwardly at their thoughts. It would take more than that to break him, he was just analyzing and studying the place to get a better feel of how the operation runs in the dungeon.“His Infinite patient has served him well in other jobs and it did so now. He had watched, studied and scrapped many ideas he had originally had. He didn't want to bungle another opportunity, he couldn't

POV: Yuki.Fatima looked at Sima, waiting for her to fully comprehend what she had just told her. It was a long story and they had been at it for hours now. They were in Master Krim's class but he was absent, which has been a frequent thing lately. The place was chaotic as the other students all engaged in different activities, people were chatting among themselves while others held a small mock fight in front of the classroom and the cheers from people behind added to the din.“There were a few quiet ones in the class who just observed others without talking. Fatima and Sima were one of the quiet ones. They had found a less noisy place at the back of the class to talk and she had told Sima everything about herself.Sima sensed something different with her when she came out of the toilet even though she pretended as if everything was fine. She had disturbed her to open up about the problem until she promised to tell her at her own time.“She was now acting on the promise she had ma

POV: Patil's Phobia.When Ruzio had newly joined the Rebel group, he had learnt about the penalty of a compromised spy or high ranking rebel officials.“They were killed by any of the numerous spies working for the Advisor before they could leak out any secret.He had even carried out such missions, eliminating his brothers in the movement. How ironic it was that he was captured when he came to kill a compromised spy. He must be the first assassin in history who was compromised when he came to assassinate another compromised spy.“It has helped to protect the movement in the little time they had been formed but he still could not believe that Advisor Thadron would do this to him. They had known each other for long and were close. Guess it was all business to him. He focused on the danger at hand, he didn't have many options of attacking except to defend himself. He didn't exactly know if Dishu was a good fighter, only his strength.He wasn't unduly bothered about the situation, he

POV: Nostalgia.Ruzio heard the alarm broadcast message from the digital watch on his wrist. It was a good thing he had removed the watch from Dishu's hand before he left the cell, that way, he was now informed and kept up to date about the chase.“It was hard to navigate the dungeon as it has multiple routes and the road all seemed the same.He had stripped Dishu of his clothes and put them on. He now looked like a guard, he brought down the helmet lower so as to avoid suspicion at his familiar face. It seemed all the cell guards knew and recognized each other, he had often heard them address their colleague by their name when they came around the cell.He heard sounds of running footsteps in the corridor and he knew it was the guards. He ducked into a thin opening in the wall nearby just as the first batch of guards passed by.They all moved orderly like a herd of Grofs and moved fluidly. Under the cover of darkness, he slipped among the group and ran forward with them.He hoped a p

POV: Complicated flips.Fatima heard Master Yedder had grown wary of her. He wasn't attacking with the careless gusto with which he had started. It meant it didn't underestimate her again, even his stance said it.A part of her was proud of the sudden respect but she was largely worried. Master Yedder was one of the most formidable fighters around and she didn't know how strong the new AI was in fights.“The whole place was quiet, every pair of eyes were glued on them, she saw Sima with a sad face still holding her hands in a prayer gesture and mouthing apologies.She ignored her and focused on Master Yedder who is circling her now. She wasn't angry at Sima, she knew it had to be a mistake but she didn't want to let her go off easily. She would have been minced meat by now if not for the system. “So what do I get if I win this fight in combat mode?” She asked the system telepathically.[Seeing as this is a strong opponent, you'll automatically go to level 2 instead of passing throug

POV: Level upgradeFatima walked away from the boy on the ground and went to the side to wait for the class to be over. She saw other trainees still battling with their opponents trying to perfect the flip but few people succeed. She had seen master Yedder write something on his communication device as she had finished the fight. There was a scowl on his face when she headed back to the side but she didn't care. She was glad to have finished the fight quickly.“How do I distribute the points, Yuki?” she asked. [Just think of where you want them to be, chose among Agility, combat skills or weapon efficiency]She thought carefully on it and came to a conclusion quickly. Her ability was leaked to her reflexes and speed. Her combat skills were her and training experience which was the most important thing of the three. “They hadn't started training with weapons so it wasn't important now, " she concluded. “10 points to my Combat skills and 5 points to my Agility," she said after a w

The whole experience was surreal and lifelike.[First of all, there was no power and the word kizil was not yet formed or spoken.] Then strange people appeared on kedran. They were three in number and said they were from a distant galaxy. A strange silvery substance that radiated power swirled constantly around them as they spoke and they had authority in their voice….]Fatima was finding it hard to watch and listen at the same time. The video was so engaging and enrapturing that she lost interest in it and she couldn't listen to Yuki's narration.‘Yuki, could I watch the video like a simulation? That is, I got to watch everything like I'm an onlooker.[Yes you can, the VR quality of my system is top notch.] “Okay, I'd like to try it,” She said.”Instantly her s

POV; Nasty 2Fatima couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the strange girl than met the eye. Nasty was different from the other students she had encountered. She was intelligent and resourceful, and there was something about her that suggested she had a resilience and determination that was rare in someone so young. She couldn't help but think that Nasty would be a valuable addition to the rebel group. However, she knew that Master Krim would be notoriously cautious when it comes to recruiting new members. He had high standards and she guessed he would put potential recruits through rigorous tests before accepting them into the group. Despite her reservations, Fatima decides to approach master Krim about something nasty. She made her case for the Young girl, highlighting her intelligence and her ability to survive on the street.

I was asking if the woman did anything to you and the reason why you're down. You seem to be searching for something.
