There were lines connected to the glass circles which crisscrossed about the suit and then finally, my face was covered by a detachable helmet with the front part of my face protected by a type of glass.It all felt pretty strange but then again, I guess it wasn’t all that bad.Gesturing for the others to try it on, several minutes later, we were all suited up in the same uniform.The suit reminded me of the suit we were shown during our tour of the Academy science district.The fateful day that would mark the start of one of the greatest trials of my life.I can still recall the awe I felt from watching an instructor get covered by the biosynthetic suit.It seemed they had perfected it.Just then, the man began to explain. “The Exo-suits are equipped to help you resist the radiation outside as well as extreme temperature changes. You have an aquatic mode that allows you swim even though you’d better not dare to do so and then it also has self repair properties and if the body is part

My first time going outside the tower.It was bound to be a novel experience and though it held dangers, I was confident and trusted in the ability that myself and my subordinates had cultivated over the last few days.As we got to the ground floor and made our way to the exit, escorted by the guards, I could feel that my palms were sweaty underneath the Exo-suit.But as the leader of this expedition, I couldn’t afford to show any weakness else the morale of the group would lessen.So gritting my teeth and clenching my fist, I took the lead and walked.Soon we arrived at a great gate.It was wide and large enough to fit at least 10 giants walking in side by side.I believe this was in case of a situation where the tower had to be abandoned.The exit had to be large enough to take a large number of people leaving at once.In any case, as we got to the gate, we went through a full physical examination before the gates were opened.And for the first time, I saw the outside world.Covered

What if right now, he is hoping for us to come and save him?Greg noticed my hesitation as he remarked. “Herald Jeremy, the entire tower is in jeopardy if we don’t complete this mission. Are you telling me that you would rather sacrifice the lives of millions of people for one man?”“This…” my lips trembled as I realized that he was right.I was wasting too much time.Knowing fully well how they would take it, I had no choice but to speak up. “Alright. We’ll keep moving forward.”“Herald!”“I understand that Marvin is a part of us but right now, it’s not about us or an individual. If we don’t do anything, the entire tower will be destroyed. I hate that I have to say it but… we can’t be that selfish.”The squad member remained silent but it was clear from her eyes that she wasn’t happy with my decision.I felt pained but I had no choice.I can’t sacrifice the tower for one man.Taking a moment to steel my nerves, I ordered. “Lets keep going.”***[Narrator’s POV]As Jerry and his group

“Uhmm, Greg!” I called out once again but still… no response.Then at that moment, a deep sense of foreboding crept up my spine and caused me to feel wary.“something is wrong.” Veronica said from beside me.The others had noticed as well as they quickly grabbed their weapons and turned vigilant.“oi Greg!” I called out one more time to be sure but hardly had my words left my lips when he turned toward.His movements however was stiff, closer to mechanical than an actual human.It was then I noticed it.His eyes were deep inky black color and his lips seemed to be moving but no sound was made.What… what is going on?Then I heard Lincoln remark from beside me. “…he is saying… help me?”Before I could react to the translation however, a large hand reached out from beyond the wall and grabbed all 7 technicians without missing a single one.A moment later and they were all dragged into the thick fog.“Oh my god.”“what was that?”“Something is wrong!”A flurry of screams erupted as a few

“Jerry!”As I glanced in the direction he spoke in, I saw it.Just behind Jerry as he struggled to keep his sanity, an invisible figure stood with only the ink at its feet revealing it’s presence.How did it get there?No, what am I saying?The battlefield is currently chaotic.Whatever, this isn’t the time to think.I have to fight.Gripping my Vestige, I rushed forward without a single care in the world.The creature was invisible so the likelihood of it having left or even maybe about to devour me crossed my mind but I didn’t care.No, I did care… but I just didn’t want that to stop me.And so I didn’t allow it to do so.I leaped into the air and swung my Vestige down with as much power as I could muster.Aiming for the footprints made in the ink, I felt something solid upon striking down.“I did it.”Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to celebrate my act as I sensed something coming and immediately put up my Vestige to block.BamMy arms shook and I felt pains as I was sent flyi

I knew I had to meet with Him, if I wanted to do anything but the thought of meeting him again thoroughly terrified me.Just take a deep breath for now… sighing inwardly, I asked as per protocol. “any casualties?”The sergeant shook his head. “None, sir.”“that’s good.” I nodded in response. “Inform Herald Richard to report to me once they are done resting. I would like to congratulate him for his efforts in preserving the peace of the tower.”“yes sir.” The sergeant said but made no effort to leave as he remained poised.Noticing this, I inquired. “Anything else?”“Yes sir!”“Ugh, go ahead, what is it?”“Herald Richard was requesting for the mission to be the one to clear the infiltration of the fog in the tower premises. He asked that I tell you that he is requesting permission to go ahead with it.”“He wants to handle the clean up?”“yes sir.”Furrowing my brows, I pondered for a few minutes before sighing. “quite an enterprising child, won’t you agree, sergeant?”“If anything sir,

“In the beginning there was the void and then the Great god awoke from his slumber and gazed at the dark expanse.”“In his eyes, he saw that all was not well and so decided to make a change.“and so he did. With a single breath, he created the earth and humans that resided on it and gave us a single directive, to take care of and love his creations.“But as time passed, humans were unable to keep that commandment and so the great one was forced to punish us for our atrocities, thus heralded the beginning of the fog.“The fog is the great one’s punishment for humanity sinning against him. Only by turning away from evil and seeking the path of righteousness can we ever hope to survive.“But that doesn’t mean all is lost for the truth is that where there is a will there is a way and hope will always be what determines our future. Let us pray and hope that soon, all will be resolved and once again, humanity will be allowed to thrive on Earth.”A middle aged man wearing a white cassock wit

Marcus chose the third option; to make Leo pay and get his sister back.If course, the benefactor agreed and gave him what he was currently carrying.He didn’t know what it was but he was willing to believe it would help him achieve his goals and so he moved without hesitation.He had come to the floor solely to get back his sister and he wouldn’t return without doing so.Using his prior knowledge of the area, he managed to sneak into the building and made his way to Leo’s office.Using the vents, he glanced down and watched the bastard vent.“that fool Marcus actually thinks he is worth something to speak against me?... I should have killed him directly.”“please… please let Marcus live.”Beside Leo, a child with blonde hair, wearing a pink dressed begged.“If not for you, I would have killed that fool. Anyway, you will have to pay for his mistakes.”“I will do my work well.” The girl said.“Good. You have your first task today. If you don’t bring back 15 wallets by the end of the da
