"Next to your house is Ms. Lisa's boarding house," said Mr. Kardi.
Hazeed frowned.A room on the outside of the house was then handed over to him. Hazeed felt very much at home, especially since there was a parking lot here too, which allowed him to save money.
"Thank you son, I hope you feel at home," said Mr. Kardi, who had rented out one of the rooms in his house to Hazeed.
"You're welcome sir, I'm very grateful that you offered me a room," said Hazeed.
He immediately cleaned up the room that would now be his home. He was grateful that he could finally sleep comfortably again.
Even so, his mind was still confused by the OMEGA system that kept appearing on his cell phone.
It was getting late, and Hazeed felt free. He took out his antique cell phone and started to turn it on."It won't turn on?" said Hazeed in confusion. He then tried to charge it, but nothing fit into the charger hole.
"What kind of data cable is this?" said Hazeed as he continued to look up the size and specifications of the phone on the internet on his smartphone.
Hazeed then fell asleep, so soundly that he overslept.
***
Hazeed was surprised when he opened the door to see a bottle of milk already there. He took the very fresh milk."Don't refuse fortune," Hazeed said as he gulped it down.After finishing the milk, Hazeed then started thinking about his future plans.
KRIIING
The Omega's cell phone rang again.
"MORNING SIR!"
"NEW MISSIONS AVAILABLE" Omega's voice rang out again.
Hazeed's forehead wobbled as he tried to listen.
"What mission now?" said Hazeed with a yawn.
He then continued to listen to what Omega was saying very seriously.
"Underground tunnels? Finding the pink package there?" said Hazeed, unable to understand the clue Omega had given him.
"You only have eighty minutes, Omega Spec," Omega said as he disconnected the phone afterwards.
"MISSION ACTIVATED!"
"Mr. H, your time is eighty minutes, start now!"
"What? Eighty minutes? The distance from here to the Uzibey tunnel alone is half an hour! Shitt damn!" said Hazeed as he grabbed his shirt and slipped on his shoes as he walked.
His cell phone was now tucked into his pants pocket along with his wallet.
"Brak!" Hazeed then drove his car towards the city's underground tunnels.
"Damn! It's going to be a total traffic jam up ahead!" said Hazeed, who immediately turned his car around to the right.
"Tiiin!" The sound of car horns continued to be heard loudly, the vehicle behind his car was clearly very surprised by what Hazeed had done earlier which could have triggered a chain reaction accident given the current traffic congestion.
Hazeed dashes across the shoulder of this one-way street, ignoring the warnings of many other motorists in order to squeeze through the small alleyway between the two towering buildings he is currently passing.
If his calculations were correct, Hazeed would arrive at the underground tunnel ten minutes faster than the normal route.
"Shit!" Hazeed stopped his car right in front of a boundary wall.
Dead end!
Hazeed had taken the wrong turn so he decided to get off and jump over the fence next to him to get through this wall.
Reluctantly, Hazeed left his car there.
Meanwhile at Bella's house.
"Dadd, explain to me if it's true that Hazeed was dropped because of yesterday's problem?" asked Bella with a sharp look locked on her father's beady eyes as he gulped down the hot tea in front of him in a hurry.
"Can't you just ignore that hooligan?" said her daddy.
"Papa has promised to guarantee Hazeed's scholarship until his master's degree if I accept Radith. Then what is this? What happened?" said Bella as she left her breakfast in a rage.
The man named Seno was also angered by this.
"He's proven to be a drug supplier! The young man you love may not be involved in an international cartel! Should you keep a student like that?" said Seno very loudly.
"You're wrong! I know Hazeed, and everyone in his neighborhood! That woman is a trapper who somehow trapped my Hazeed! I hate you!" Bella said as she walked away towards the garage.
Not long after, the sound of Bella's car roaring away from the house made Seno even more upset.
This single parent man, raised Bella alone. For the sake of his love for his deceased wife, Seno chose to be alone and not remarry.
This was also in order to maintain his career at Blue Company, which was his wife's legacy.
"Get me Carol!" Seno said to someone over the phone.
The man then waited a few moments before returning to the conversation.
"Transfer the funds you promised, I've got the woman caught, don't break the promise!" said Seno as he walked away.
Back to Hazeed.
The young man had now reached the Uzibey tunnel.
Deserted and very quiet, Hazeed didn't know what to do in this place while time was ticking away.
"Pink, what am I supposed to do with pink?" said Hazeed as he cast his eyes in various directions to find something pink.
"Over there!" said Hazeed as he saw a pink strawberry banner.
Hazeed then climbed down the platform and started walking there following the strawberry stickers.
His steps continued into the interior of the underground tunnel. Armed with the flashlight on his cell phone, Hazeed continued to walk along the edge of the railroad tracks.
"Tuuuuttt!"
In the distance, the train's headlights reflected off the tunnel wall in front of him, followed by the rumble of a racing engine.
"Damn it! This track is so narrow," said Hazeeds as he turned around and immediately sprinted to avoid the fast train or he would be run over quickly on this single track.
Hazeed's legs continued to race to cut the distance, while his body was now starting to sweat as his heart was forced to pump faster to maintain his metabolism.
Hazeed's breathing was getting shorter, he had already sprinted for five hundred meters, and the train horn sounded again. It seemed as if the driver had just noticed his presence and soon the squeaking of the tracks as the train was forced to stop could be heard loudly behind him.
"Damn pink!" cursed Hazeed as he jumped on a box on the right side of the tracks that was slightly away from the tracks to save himself.
"Thud-thud!"
The speeding train passed him by, leaving Hazeed's whole body exhausted with his remaining breaths getting shorter.
"Package for you," someone said from the wall behind Hazeed to his surprise.
"Whose package is this?" Hazeed asked, gazing at the wall, but he couldn't find anyone there.Still startled, the man saw a series of strange numerical codes. He often encountered such random numbers when downloading or logging into web pages on the internet."Welcome back, Mr. H! With Me."Hazeed finally felt relieved upon hearing Omega's voice. This made Hazeed think that the codes he had seen earlier were sent to him by the system."What else do I need to do? If I've received the package, does that mean it's safe?" Hazeed spoke through his old cellphone to Omega."Reload system, activated!" Omega kept repeating that command. "What's happening?" muttered Hazeed."Oh no! So it's not finished yet?" grumbled Hazeed, seeing his phone suddenly spinning without any signal on the screen, proving that this mission was still incomplete."A pink package. Hufht! Very tacky. Who could have sent a package with wrapping like this? It's very strange and doesn't make sense, too exaggerated in my op
Hazeed himself became increasingly unfocused as the woman in front of him seemed to be inviting him to wander around."Why haven't we found the restroom yet?" Hazeed asked."Almost there," replied the beautiful woman in front of him, remaining calm.Hazeed's eyes then scanned every corridor they passed. There were numerous locked rooms along the way. The farther they walked, the more Hazeed began to wonder.This place seemed like a maze, making him forget where he initially entered."Stop! I won't keep following you. Tell me who the owner of the package is that you're referring to because I'm carrying this for someone," Hazeed said, scrutinizing the woman in front of him, who smiled teasingly at him."Come on, user, don't joke around. You're already in the place where you have to deliver the package. Why do you seem unhappy? Doesn't that mean this mission will be completed?" the woman said to Hazeed.Hazeed felt increasingly odd and confused; he sensed something suspicious about the w
"Of course, I'm escaping from your lackeys!" Hazeed exclaimed, keeping the tip of his dagger pointed at Mazda's slender neck. The woman, seemingly a mix of Arab, Latin, and Spanish blood, possessed a flawless body and exotic skin that made Hazeed's eyes dance with her beauty.Reluctantly, Mazda stepped forward, feeling defeated this time. The seemingly insignificant man he underestimated had just made him bend the knee, rendering him unable to resist."I am very sure you don't have the courage to do it," murmured Mazda as they moved slowly, igniting Hazeed's blood once again."Is that what you think? Then, what about this?" Hazeed said, slowly slicing the soft skin on Mazda's slender neck with the tip of his dagger.The scent of Mazda's fragrant body began to captivate Hazeed, inducing an inexplicable and peculiar sensation. However, soon after, the metallic smell of fresh blood trickling from the woman's skin cut by the dagger filled the air.Hazeed could even hear Mazda's stifled cr
Hearing Mazda's lengthy explanations throughout the journey made Hazeed repeatedly take heavy, ragged breaths. He was still together with Mazda."You said Omega will know when users are together? How does it happen?" Hazeed inquired."Oh come on, Buddy. IP address. They don't need to track it; I'm sure they can see our current location within their data. That's why I've been turning off my GPRS and 5G data since earlier," Mazda replied.Hazeed took another deep breath. He then parked his car in one of the restaurant's lots. "What do you want here?" asked Mazda."To eat. Aren't you hungry?" replied Hazeed, unlocking his car door and swiftly stepping out. He disregarded Mazda, who was now stumbling behind, trying to keep up.Hazeed walked in and froze in the entrance. "Hey, are you alone?" Radith greeted him, affectionately holding Bella beside him.Hazeed swallowed hard. He never expected to bump into Bella here. His gaze fixated on the face of the most beautiful moon, who was now tryi
Hazeed quickened his pace. He immediately ran back towards the car parked over there."Go!" Mazda shouted, worsening the situation.Meanwhile, the sound of gunfire following them became louder. The man could barely dodge the shots fired using sharp bullets aimed at him. Hazeed stumbled on the sidewalk, causing him to fall onto the asphalt, barely surviving."Wait!" Mazda yelled, opening the car door and rushing towards Hazeed. With Mazda's help, Hazeed finally survived and escaped from the long-range shots that seemed to come from nowhere."They're lurking from all directions. Do you now understand how terrifying the Omega system is?" Mazda said while assisting Hazeed to get up from the asphalt. If only earlier... Mazda hadn't rushed to shorten the distance with Hazeed; the bullet might have pierced Hazeed's body by now."Why do they create rules that aren't explained but must be followed! A joint mission with a radius they also regulate!" Hazeed grumbled. He grumbled irritably and sta
"What should I do next?" murmured Hazeed to himself.Hazeed was well aware that he had to listen to Mazda this time, but the next issue he didn't understand was the rules of engagement within the Omega user system."Can't you shoot?" asked Mazda, her focused eyes targeting their attackers outside."Penetrate?" exclaimed Hazeed as he witnessed Mazda's bullet soaring and effortlessly piercing through the car's windshield, as if passing through an unbreakable, elastic bubble.A faint smile adorned Mazda's face afterward. This beautiful woman became even more convinced that Hazeed truly didn't understand anything about the Omega System that now bound them."You have much to learn; it seems Gordon is the right person to teach you," Mazda said, continuing to target each user attacking them throughout their journey.The car continued to swerve on winding asphalt roads, uphill paths, and a row of large acacia trees lining the roadside, leaving Hazeed slightly puzzled about the place they were
Hazeed continued to drive his advanced car at high speed, traversing the bustling streets of the capital city, surrounded by towering skyscrapers and neon lights as the backdrop of his journey. The giant cloud umbrella, CLOUD-X, blocked the sunlight, creating a transparent dome above. Hazeed's car, sheltered by the cloud, finally came to a stop in the middle of the giant bubble dome.Mazda, a young girl with long black hair and sparkling eyes, sat next to Hazeed in the passenger seat. She looked out the window with a curious gaze. "This is amazing, isn't it?" Mazda said, her blue eyes shining.Hazeed nodded, although his mind remained focused on this mysterious situation. "Yes, but I feel this is not ordinary. CLOUD-X belongs to the Omega System; they have full control over it.""Of course," Mazda replied with a mysterious smile. "The Omega System knew you were coming."Hazeed looked at Mazda in astonishment. "How could they know?"Mazda chuckled softly. "They always know. But don't wo
Hazeed stood amidst a sea of domes, their ethereal forms rising like mushrooms after a storm. He wasn't alone; numerous other Omega users surrounded him, their eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and apprehension. As his gaze swept the area, a realization dawned upon him. "I'm not the only user!" Beside him stood Mazda and a cluster of fellow users, their collective astonishment palpable as troops poured out from within the domes. "What's happening?" Hazeed's focus narrowed, hands instinctively preparing the automatic weapon clutched tightly in his grip.Troops adorned with specialized helmets and intricate communication devices materialized, their exchanges in cryptic signals leaving Hazeed perplexed. "There's something off," he muttered, a sense of unease creeping over him. Hazeed knew he didn't belong here; the behavior of his automatic weapon differed markedly from that of others. The eruption of gunfire shattered the air, causing the domes before them to swell further. The dome's d
