With every passing second, Drake's health points were ticking down. He could feel his stamina waning, each breath becoming a laborious effort. The hybrid leader, sensing its prey's momentary weakness, pressed its advantage, lunging at Drake with renewed ferocity.

"Stay calm, Drake," he muttered to himself, focusing on the creature's weak points.

The hybrid leader swung again, and this time, Drake deflected the blow with his energy blade, sparks flying as metal clashed against metal. He countered with a series of rapid strikes, aiming for the creature's damaged joints.

Despite the pain and exhaustion, Drake fought with a desperate determination. He ducked and weaved, using every ounce of his training to stay one step ahead of the hybrid leader's attacks. But the creature was relentless, its strength and speed pushing Drake to his limits.

A particularly savage swipe from the hybrid leader knocked Drake off his feet, sending him crashing into a pile of debris. He struggled to rise, his

    Drake woke up back at the base, his eyes opening slowly to the dim light filtering through the curtains. He blinked a few times, his vision blurry, before the room came into focus. He recognized the familiar surroundings—his room at the base. As his senses sharpened, he felt a dull ache all over his body and noticed the tight bandages wrapped around his torso and limbs.Beside him, Maya was slumped on the floor, her head resting on the edge of his bed. She had probably fallen asleep while tending to his injuries. A bowl of water and a cloth lay in her hand, now motionless. Her face looked pale and exhausted, her hair dishevelled from hours of worry and sleeplessness.Drake attempted to sit up, wincing as pain shot through his body. He groaned softly, trying to piece together what had happened. The memories came flooding back in fragments—the hybrid leader’s attack, the desperate struggle, and the moment he had blacked out. He remembered Isalio’s fierce battle with the hybrid and Maya’

    Drake lay back, staring at the ceiling. He knew Isalio was right, but the thought of his friends fighting without him gnawed at his insides. The memory of the hybrid leader’s near-fatal attack played over in his mind, the creature’s grotesque form and terrifying strength. He couldn’t shake the feeling that he needed to be out there, fighting alongside his comrades.Ignoring the throbbing pain in his side, Drake swung his legs over the edge of the cot and stood up, wincing as he moved. The system’s healing had given him strength faster than any normal recovery, and he felt almost ready to take on the hybrids again. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to do.He moved to the storage locker in the corner of the room, his movements slow and deliberate. Opening it quietly, he grabbed a small dagger and slipped it into his belt. He glanced around the room, making sure no one was watching, and then stepped out into the corridor.Drake moved silently through the hall

    [Player has 3 minutes left] He needed to act fast, he could already sense that the hybrid leader had locked its focus solely on him. Isalio hadn't spotted him yet as he was immersed in his battle and was on the lookout for his other fighters. Maya and Kevin were struggling, if they continued to fight alongside him they would only slow him down. "Kevin! Maya! Stand back, this is my battle". Drake hooked his battle stance as he also looked into the Hybrid's eyes. "We can't leave you to fight this thing alone" Maya disagreed with him, her newly found care for Drake was beginning to irk him. "You would only slow me down Maya" he glanced at her shortly and gave Kevin a short nod, he understood. "Go find another toy to play with, this one is mine" he gave a psychotic grin. Making the duo shiver as they left him to do his thing. 'Alpha link system!' he summoned in his mind.

The battle had been brutal, pushing Drake to the very limits of his endurance and skill.As the adrenaline began to subside, Drake felt the familiar surge of power as the alpha link system activated. «Ding!

    "Drake!" Maya's urgent voice cut through the silence as she ran toward Drake. Maya and Kevin rushed to his side, their faces etched with concern."Drake!" Maya exclaimed, kneeling beside him and checking for signs of life. "Stay with us, Drake. You're going to be okay." Kevin placed a reassuring hand on Drake's shoulder. "Hang in there, buddy. We got you."Drake's vision blurred, and he could barely hear their voices. The alpha link system's interface flickered in his mind, displaying alerts and status updates. He was aware of the enhancements, the new strength and abilities coursing through his veins, but at that moment, all he could feel was the overwhelming exhaustion. The other fighters stood rooted in their places. They had seen Drake take down the hybrid leader and fend off the remaining hybrids with incredible prowess. Now, seeing him vulnerable, a sense of uncertainty crept in.Isalio broke the silence. "Kevin, take him to the room. Maya, keep an eye on his vitals. We need t

    Drake lay in his room, feeling the strength slowly return to his body. The alpha link system had done its work, healing him faster than normal NPC recovery. Maya and Kevin had been diligent in their care, ensuring he was comfortable and monitored. Hours passed, and Drake began to feel like himself again. One morning, Drake woke up feeling significantly better. He sat up, his muscles no longer aching as they had before. The room was quiet. He decided it was time to get back to his duties.Swinging his legs over the side of the mat, he stood up, a bit unsteady at first but quickly finding his balance.He walked to the small adjoining bathroom, where a mirror reflected his dishevelled appearance, there were fading scars from the previous fights he had engaged in, and a long scar was visible from his collarbone to his waist. It was going to be a mark of honour for him, a strong man, he smiled as he admired them, his entire outlook had changed; Facial hair was now pronounced and his ent

    The three of them moved to a more secluded spot in the hideout to discuss their plan. The lack of advanced technology meant they couldn't rely on surveillance or digital records; they would have to use their wits and instincts."Here's what we need to do," Drake began. "We'll each take on different tasks to gather information. Maya, you'll check the medical records and speak to anyone who might have noticed strange behaviour. Kevin, you'll look into the access logs and see if anyone was out of place during the attack. I'll speak to key team members and gauge their reactions."Maya and Kevin nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. They knew this wouldn't be easy, but their trust in Drake's abilities was unwavering. Drake's first stop was the training area, where he found Selene practising her combat skills. He approached her, keeping his tone casual. "Hey, Selene. Got a minute?"She paused, wiping sweat from her brow. "Sure, Drake. What's up?""I've been thinking about the

    "Kevin, stay with Maya." He instructed. Drake's eyes narrowed with determination. He stood up, his gaze fixed on Riley, who was inching toward the exit. Without a moment's hesitation, Drake lunged at him, catching Riley off guard. Drake's powerful tackle slammed Riley against the wall, knocking the wind out of him. Riley recovered quickly, though, and pushed back, grappling with Drake. The two men exchanged fierce blows, each struggling to gain the upper hand."Why, Riley?" Drake demanded between punches, his voice filled with anger and betrayal. "Why did you do it?" Riley didn't answer, his face contorted with effort as he fought to free himself from Drake's grip. The struggle was intense, with both men using every ounce of their strength and skill. Riley managed to land a solid punch to Drake's ribs, causing him to stagger back momentarily. But Drake was relentless. Ignoring the pain, he charged forward again, catching Riley around the waist and lifting him off his feet. With

    It was a few hours after the chaos in the pack house that Jeanne became enraged and walked away to clear her mind when she noticed a body in the thorn garden. "Who the hell is that?! " She mouthed, getting down from where she was to take a closer look at the body, when the two men who tortured Jasmine purposefully walked past her with fake stories running from their mouths. “ She is so shameless, How can an ordinary breeder try to steal from another breeder, it's disgusting” The tall one with the name, Matt said with a surprised tone. "I am wondering where she went to hide, such a shameless girl." Jeanne listened to everything they said before calling them back. "What exactly are you talking about?, "Who is this breeder?" Asking, hoping it was Jasmine, was Jeanne's thought.

    Suddenly, an idea occurred to Drake. He abruptly tossed the book to a side and proceeded to stare at the gun on the guard's to waist with a blank expression.Hila frowned but did not act. Everyone looked to see what Drake was up to. Drake walked rigidly towards the guard. As if to make his intentions extremely clear, he reached out exaggeratedly for the gun.The guard instinctively drew his gun, and although Drake did not seem to have any intention of snatching it, he tightened his grip. As Drake was moving extremely slowly, the guard did not see a need to fire.“Unload the gun and let him have it.” ordered Hila. She was keen to know Drake's motives.The guard obliged and proceeded to do so.Upon receiving the gun, some information popped up on Drake's interface.«73-WASP (Small Caliber Handgun)Grade: GreyDamage: 28~35Fire rate: 1.1/sPower Output: 13Key Components: Spring, slide, firing pin, magazine (missing)»[Basic Assembly] automatically gave Drake knowledge about many types

    Drake's heart sank. Brainwashing was a common method of subordination, and while in the game, a brainwashed character would simply become an ally of the faction, it was completely different now! Losing his sense of self was the worst case scenario.'No way!'The good news was that memory altering technology available on the planet was still under-developed, so the organization's method were very primitive; they made use of sensory stimuli to re-calibrate the subject. A character with at least ten points in intelligence would be immune to the effects of the brainwash.Valkyrie had already given Drake a +1 boost to the growth of potential of Endurance. Growth potential was an innate star that affected the growth rate of the affected stat. Different races had differing starting potentials in each stat, and in the entire world of Galaxy, humans generally had a mediocre growth rate. They did, however, boast the highest intelligence potential. As they also possessed the lowest Health, this

    “Thank God I have a system!” Drake was ecstatic but quickly discovered that there were several irregularities.'NPC, not a player? Countdown timer? Torturous future ahead?'Drake furrowed his brows as he organized his thoughts.First of all, although he had no idea how the system had transmigrated together with him, he had to treat this world as a new reality, meaning that if he died, he could not bank on being able to respawn like in the game, he will be dead for good.Secondly, he could still access the system's interface despite being classified as an NPC. This suggested that he could still level up like a player, which was good news.Thirdly, if the countdown timer confirmed his suspicions that he had indeed traveled back in time to before the game's launch, did it mean that 'real players' will soon appear?Lastly, and most important of all, the 'torturous future ahead' meant only one thing; he was currently in grave danger!Drake felt indignant.

Who's talking?'Drake opened his eyes, only to be blinded by light. The familiar hatch of his VR capsule was no longer there, instead he was facing a white ceiling. The walls that surrounded him were also white and reminiscent of cold, hard metal. They felt like something straight out out of science fiction. The room resembled an intensive care unit, and Drake lay atop a cold metal table, barrel-chested and wired to all sorts of machines. His back was freezing.Drake noticed there was a group of people in white coats surrounding him, and they were looking at him as though they had seen a ghost.'I thought I just accepted a leveling request?

    A bright light flashed and a humanoid figure dressed in military uniform appeared. This figure looked exactly human but a bit unrealistic. It looked human, but it wasn't human. It had an oval face, lean body and wavy hair. It's military uniform fitted his tall lean body. This was the character of Drake in the game 'Galaxy'.“Alright, the war between Germinal and the Six Nations is still ongoing. The quest states that I have to meet up an old soldier in a little bunker and obtain more information about the war from him.” Drake spoke to himself. Just as he was about to move, he heard a bang, and a red light flashed in front of him, he felt a stinging pain on his right shoulder.-48He had been been shot. He pulled his gun and turned around. Facing him were seven individuals dressed in all black, even their faces were covered with black colored masks. But he knew who theses were; The Gator Crew. This group always bullied him, both at school and even in the game.“What do you want! Tony.”

"That is for the trial to reveal."The Council departed, leaving Maya alone in the chamber.A low hum filled the air as the trial began.Maya stood tall, her heart pounding.Suddenly, the chamber erupted into chaos.Illusions assaulted her senses, testing her courage.Maya navigated the maze of reflections, her wits guiding her.But with each step, the challenges intensified.A figure emerged from the shadows.Kael."Welcome, Maya," Kael sneered.
