Spring break has finally come to an end. Elena and Ajax with Raphael resumed classes as usual.Elena had ended her internship with Grey’s labs, because apparently, it was not aiding neither was it improving her career as a medical doctor.Raphael on his end escaped Nicholas’s wrath. He even rather got closer to Nicholas to his surprise.***“ I am really sorry Nicholas.” Raphael pleased as they exited Ajax’s parents labs. “It is never going to happen again. Please don’t make me lose my internship here, sir. I really do love it here and I can picture myself working here.”Raphael was not feigning this part.Granted, he lied and took the blame of Ajax. Now he had to suffer for it.His heart raced because he feared that he would lose his internship. His palms were sweating and his eyes glistened a little with tears that just remained in his lids, not escaping.He could already picture the three of them walking to Nicholas’s office and Nicholas issuing him a letter of termination. A lette
“The story of Richmore?” Ajax asked. “Mr Jones story of Richmore?”“Exactly!” Raphael exclaimed. He grabbed the first book. That one was in Ajax’s mothers handwriting.“Your mum wrote here;“Richmore, A myth?A Halloween story to scare kids?Or a true story?Richmore was a scientist and a student in the university he schooled at. He was the only son of his elite family. His father was a mayor and thus had control over the school in his town. He was graced and blessed to have a system make him its host.He did tasks and missions given to him by his system. He was greatly rewarded for his accomplished missions and greatly punished for failing them.Richmore was said to have fallen in love with a lady and his system wanted him to kill the love of his life. Apparently, his system was jealous and wanted Richmore all to itself.It gave Richmore the task and if Richmore failed, his punishment was to kill everyone he cared about. He was given a time interval. Richmore could not bring himsel
“Someone is watching us.” Ajax whispered.“Huh?” Raphael mumbled. “I did not quite catch that. What did you say?”“I saw someone watching us with my side eyes. As I looked to see who the person was, the person quickly turned to the next street.” Ajax explained leaning forward in to the table, closer to Raphael to aid Raphael’s hearing.“Oh.” Raphael said nodding. “We should head back to Grey’s lab then?”“Sure.” Ajax agreed and the two of them stood up to leave.Since Raphael joined Ajax, the both of them were not bound to their break time. They could take breaks whenever they wanted as long as they were about to achieve a lot in a day.It was evening and the day was getting less bright. They had just stepped out of the restaurant and headed to Grey’s lab that was a few blocks away and on the opposite side of the road.Ajax began to feel the hairs on his neck and body stand erect. Something was not right. He could sense it.His eyes scanned the area as they walked. Raphael still had A
“ That’s your mum?” Elena asked her lips parted in awe as a dreamy look crossed a face. “Aww, She is so freaking beautiful.”She stared at Ajax as her eyes misted. “I don’t know why I’m going emotional but she is so beautiful. You have her eyes.”Ajax smiled as he stared at his mom with a soft expression. “Yeah she is. So beautiful. And yes I do.”His gaze flickered to Nate and then the soft expression disappeared immediately and was replaced with a hard stare.“Why is this bastard with my parents?” Ajax gritted.Raphael was quiet the whole time, watching save scrutinizing the picture.“Guys. Look here.” His hands pointed to an object on the picture. “Does this look familiar?”Elena and Ajax eyes zoomed in to look at what he was pointing at.Their eyes widened in surprise and their necks snapped to the cabinet that Raphael hid at that day that Nicolas caught him.“That is the cabinet!” Ajax exclaimed.“The cabinet that had a slug that crept up my legs and made me scream, was here whe
“Who are you?” Ajax asked as he stared at the person. It was difficult to make out his features. He referred to the stranger as a he because the stranger’s voice sounded masculine.“Aww. That hurts my feelings.” The stranger said in a pained voice. Ajax could imagine him pouting.Ajax activated his super night vision and his eyes zoomed in to focus on the person. The person did look somewhat familiar but he could not quite pinpoint where he met that person or where he had seen that face.“Ajax Rodney Ronald. The son of Leah Ronald and Rodney Ronald. You came around to work lot and train earlier than your usual.” The stranger said further while taking few steps, approaching Ajax.“Who the hell are you?” Ajax snapped taking a threatening step towards the guy. It somehow angered Ajax to know that he had no privacy. Could he not just live life as a normal college student without prying eyes. He had no privacy anymore. If it wasn’t Nicholas, it was Nate and now strangers he did not know t
Nate laid still, his two eyes were shut.“Nate?” Ajax called again, panic seeping into his voice. His heart began to race as the thought of him killing Nate made him shiver.Nate eyes flew open, he winced and grunted as he attempted to stand up.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” Ajax rushed out. It took him a while to see that this was Nate of all people that he was apologizing to.As soon as he realized, Nate was already giving him a weird look.“Eww.” Nate mumbled with so much disgust. “Sorry? When we should be at each others throats as usual.”Ajax rolled his eyes but got to his feet regardless. He stretched his hands forward, giving Nate a hand.Nate ignored it and stood up on his own, wincing and grunting in pain as he stretched his back muscles.“Ask questions about systems. Those are the ones I have answers to.” Nate said out of the blues. It took Ajax a while for him to understand what Nate was saying.“Okay.” Ajax said as he made himself comfortable by sitting on the floor of dr
“What!” Ajax asked surprised. He definitely did not see that one coming.“Yeah.” Nate said nodding. “That is PROJECT 11002.”Ajax was finding it hard to believe. If that was project 11002, so, that meant that Nicholas wanted him to finish the project. He wanted him to finish creating an artificial portal.“So,” Ajax started, carefully picking his words so he would not say something he was not supposed to say. “You and your team started the project 11002, but did not finish the project?”“Yes they did.” Nate answered.“Then how come the device is working?”Nate sighed deeply. “What do you know exactly about PROJECT 11002?”Ajax paused. “Um. The only thing I know about it was what I saw in one of the notes my mom took. It was just a recreation of the portal? Like an artificial portal?”Nate nodded. “Right, now, what do you know about the the system extractor device?”“It takes away systems.” Ajax answered. “Just like the portal.” Ajax added.“Exactly. But that is not all. PROJECT 11002
It had been a rough and stressful week for Ajax. He was always busy. He rarely had time for himself and his education. He was always buried in system and work and now He had exams coming up in a few weeks. Apparently, every student in the college was supposed to be involved in an extra curricular activity. Ajax had not been involved in any since he started learning in Richmore college. He had to pick an extra curricular activity or her might not graduate and move to the next level. Raphael had suggested he tried out for the basket ball team considering that he was tall and built. Ajax could not believe those two words were used in conjunction for him. Tall? Yes he was. He had always been. But built? He was always a lanky fellow that hid his body size in sweatpants and hoodies, but now he was built. He wondered if it was a thing of the system, or if it was because of his training. “I am not sure I would be accepted bro.” Ajax had complained. “C’mon Ajax. Have you see
