"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 opinion," Hazeed said while climbing onto the platform and returning to sit on one of the passenger seats nearby.
The situation at Uzibey Tunnel was very quiet. Hazeed then saw a group of punk kids running as if being chased by something. Around four to six teenagers dressed in punk fashion suddenly moved in slow motion, entertaining Hazeed.
"So strange, what are those kids doing in a place like this?" mused Hazeed. Hazeed's gaze then shifted to the code on one of the walls of the same building, identical to what he had seen on the station wall earlier.
"Why is that code identical?" said Hazeed while continuing to follow the direction of the randomly arranged codes.
His memory was indeed very sharp, making it easy for him to memorize things. At the same time, his old cellphone rang again, indicating that Omega had prepared the next command for Hazeed to follow this time.
"Omega gives the command."
"Hah! Stupid! This platform is very high while the wall over there is much taller," muttered Hazeed.
"Do you think I'm foolish to jump like that? You want to smash my head and crush my bones instantly.
Then a train will come and run over my body?" Hazeed said while measuring the estimated height of the platform barrier against the row of buildings next to it.
"Impossible!" Hazeed then stepped up towards the roof of the building. He then jumped from there. A very high jump made Hazeed float quickly and almost unbelievably. But what he did managed to take him beyond the opposite side of the station.
Hazeed immediately landed, almost slipping and almost colliding with the punk-styled kids. Hazeed, who was almost late in correcting his landing position, almost touched one of the punks at the back of the group.
"Hey buddy, what's your problem with me? Do you want to ruin my best costume for today's carnival?" said the kid who was almost bumped into by Hazeed, staring at him in wonder.
Hazeed immediately apologized. He really didn't want to deal with the chaotic punk kids. "Sorry, it was unintentional," said Hazeed, hastily picking up his fallen package and walking toward the wall where the codes were seen stuck. "That guy is weird, but where did he come from? Isn't this place only accessible through the back road over there?" muttered one of the punk kids to their companion. "Hey, has my medicine started working? I remember... I haven't even taken it. But I definitely saw that guy jump over the train tracks," one of the punk kids chimed in. "You're so stupid! Absolutely crazy. I thought I was hallucinating and seeing things. Turns out you saw him jump too. That means both of us, with our four eyes, saw the fancy and handsome man fly, hahaha," said one punk kid looking disoriented while embracing their friend and laughing afterward. "Come on, we have to meet Mazda soon. I can't wait. I really need to get that money," said the punk kid, urging their companions to meet someone named Mazda.
Meanwhile, Hazeed was now in front of the wall where he had seen those codes again. He then walked following those codes moving to the right, leading to a building that resembled an empty apartment and a skyscraper that had long been abandoned by its owner.
Both buildings bordered the underground station and one of the city's largest chemical factories.
Hazeed's steps almost halted when he realized the punk kids were heading toward the same place as him. A place that seemed deserted and far from anyone, which had a small iron door that almost resembled a prison door.
"They seem used to coming to this place!" exclaimed Hazeed, observing the punk kids effortlessly accessing the iron-plated door in the distance.
"It looks like there's no guard," remarked Hazeed as he watched the punk kids swiftly enter without any restrictions or checks.
Hazeed then stealthily followed into the place. The small door wasn't locked, allowing Hazeed to easily open it.
"Hey, you finally came here." A voice of a beautiful woman startled Hazeed.
"Oh, um, sorry, I was actually looking for the restroom," stuttered Hazeed.
While the woman approached him, Hazeed tried to discreetly slip the pink package behind his back.
"A restroom? But weren't you delivering that package to someone you know? Come on, follow me!" the woman said, pulling Hazeed's hand, almost dragging him along.
Hazeed reflexively followed the woman. Her stunning figure beneath the tight black dress intrigued Hazeed's mind. With perfectly styled hair and very high heels, her attractiveness heightened.
Hazeed wondered, "The woman's appearance is so different and contrasts sharply with the appearance of the punk kids who entered this place a few minutes ago."
"What's your name? As a user, we don't really need to introduce ourselves. But I insist because you'll be coming here often," the woman said while confidently striding ahead of Hazeed.
Hazeed didn't answer. Honestly, he was quite surprised by the recent question.

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
Hazeed : Guardian Of The World About Mazda
"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
Hazeed : Guardian Of The World About Bella
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 : Guardian Of The World Pair Mission
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
Hazeed : Guardian Of The World CLOUD-X
"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 : Guardian Of The World BIG DOME
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 : Guardian Of The World LEVEL MOVE
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
Hazeed : Guardian Of The World CHANGE WEAPON
Hazeed remained standing on his track, waiting for the countdown code to start his debut in the new level he had just joined.Gradually, a faint rumbling sound approached.Then suddenly, his surroundings turned dark."What's happening?" he muttered."PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN IMAGE THAT WILL APPEAR!"Omega's voice was clearly heard, and Hazeed continued to wait.With his hands ready, prepared to shoot, Hazeed followed the illuminated path.Now, his surroundings turned bright again, filled with images of world destruction and digital chaos.The Eiffel Tower had turned into a data cable assembly, while the Pyramids in Egypt suddenly became marshmallows swarmed by giant insects."What's happening? What does all this mean?" Hazeed was confused. He saw two strange sights that made him think twice to find out what Omega meant by this level.While Hazeed was puzzled.On a spaceship shaped like a circle with two kite-shaped buildings attached in the middle, chaos ensue

The Breach
A deep, gut-wrenching boom rolled through the city, rattling the ground like an earthquake. Then came the sirens—wailing across the skyline, swallowed by the sudden roar of fire and collapsing steel.Downtown was under attack.From their position deep in the bunker, Hazeed and the others felt the tremors before the emergency comms even flared to life.STATIC—Screams—Gunfire—More static.Then a voice, frantic and barely holding together:“Breach detected! We need immediate backup—”A deep, gurgling shriek cut the transmission short.Silence.Then Mazda muttered, "Yeah, we’re screwed."The city was burning.Black tendrils writhed from the epicenter of the blast, twisting through shattered buildings like living things. The sky overhead churned, the stars swallowed by a seething void. And at the heart of it all, in the middle of the ruined intersection—They stood.Dozens of them. Malformed. Hollow-eyed. Their bodies shimmered with a sickly, translucent glow—figures that should not be.Sp
The Tethered
The bunker corridors were narrow and cold, the air stale with age. Dim emergency lights flickered overhead, casting long, shifting shadows.Hazeed followed Nayla, his breathing steady but tense. The sigil on his chest pulsed in rhythm with something unseen—something waiting.Mazda and Goro trailed behind, their weapons at the ready."So," Mazda muttered, "we just gonna follow the lady who tossed a damn head at our feet?""You got a better idea?" Goro grumbled.Mazda scoffed but didn’t argue.Nayla led them to a locked steel door at the end of the hall. She pressed her palm against a worn-out scanner. The mechanism beeped, hesitated—then clicked open.Inside was a war room.Old maps covered the walls, marked with faded notes and red ink. A cracked monitor displayed distorted images of the surface. A massive metal table stood in the center, its surface littered with documents and broken comms equipment.And in the corner—a body.Hazeed’s gut twisted as he saw it.A soldier, or what was
The Marked
Darkness pressed against Hazeed’s senses, thick and suffocating.Somewhere in the void, something watched."You are already marked."That whisper—it didn’t come from Ralvek. It didn’t come from the creature.It came from something beyond.A presence loomed, vast and formless, shifting between sight and shadow.Then—light.A blinding, searing light burst through the void, and suddenly, Hazeed was falling.—Gasp!Hazeed’s body jerked violently as he was pulled back into reality.His lungs burned as he sucked in air. His vision was blurred, but he could feel the rough texture of a blanket beneath him. A metallic scent lingered—blood."Easy, kid," Mazda’s voice cut through the haze.Hazeed blinked hard, forcing his sight to clear.They were inside a dimly lit underground chamber. The walls were reinforced steel, lined with old military crates and flickering monitors.A bunker.Goro was leaning against a table, his arm wrapped in a makeshift bandage. Mazda stood nearby, his pistol still i
The Tink ini the Bunker
Hazeed could barely feel the ground beneath him. His limbs were numb, his mind fogged with pain and exhaustion. The Architect’s whisper still echoed inside his skull, but it was fading—receding like a predator satisfied with the damage it had done.Mazda ripped off his own vest, pressing it against Hazeed’s chest. "Stay with us, damn it!"Goro’s hands trembled as he tried to patch the wound. The glowing sigil nearby flickered erratically, its light dimming. Whatever Hazeed had done, it had driven the Architect back—for now.But Hazeed knew the truth.It wasn’t gone.It was watching.A faint static crackled in the air again. Not words this time, just a sensation—a knowing.Mazda’s eyes darted around. "We can’t stay here. If that thing comes back—"Goro nodded. "We move. Now."Lifting Hazeed between them, they started toward the underground bunker hidden beneath the base. It was their last hope. If there were any survivors, they’d be there. If not… they were on their own.The Bunker’s S
Whispers of the Architect
The journey back to the base was agonizingly slow. Every step felt heavier, every shadow along the path seemed to stretch unnaturally. Though the air was still, an oppressive weight pressed down on them, as if the very world resisted their return.Mazda was the first to break the silence. "Alright, someone needs to say it—what the hell was that thing?"Hazeed kept walking, eyes scanning the forest warily. "I don't know.""But it knew about the Architect," Goro muttered. "And it knew we were here."The mention of the Architect sent a chill down Hazeed’s spine. They had fought, they had risked everything, and yet, the enemy they sought to destroy was still out there. Or worse—it had never truly left.As they approached the treeline leading to the outskirts of their base, a sharp noise made them freeze. A crackling hum, like static interfering with a radio signal, drifted through the air.It was faint, but distinct.The Architect was speaking again.A Warning from BeyondGoro aimed his r
The Shadow That Remained
Hazeed still lay on the ground, his body trembling from the lingering adrenaline coursing through his veins. Mazda and Goro sat beside him, both panting, still trying to process what had just happened.The sky above them was whole again—no more gaping rift threatening to swallow the world. The forest, which had vanished, was now back as if nothing had happened.But something was different.Silence.Despite the fact that they had just defeated something that shouldn’t have existed, the world around them felt too quiet. No insects chirping, no wind whispering through the leaves, and most notably—no sign of the Omega forces.Mazda glanced around uneasily. “Where is everyone?”Goro tightened his grip on his rifle, his body still tense. “I don’t like this.”Hazeed forced himself to sit up, his head heavy. The data pad in his hand was cracked, its screen dark and unresponsive. The system had collapsed, but was everything really over?Something felt off.A Shadow at the Edge of AwarenessHaz
Raced
Hazeed sprinted forward, his breath ragged, the data pad clutched in his trembling hands. The ground beneath him rippled, shifting between solid matter and something far less stable—less real. The Architect loomed above, its form distorting the very fabric of existence.Goro and Mazda followed close behind, their movements sluggish as if reality itself was resisting them. The battlefield was gone, replaced by a vast, shifting void where remnants of what once existed flickered in and out of focus."Tell me you actually have a plan," Goro barked, barely keeping pace.Hazeed’s mind raced. The data pad. The countdown. The key. He had triggered something, but maybe… maybe it could still be reversed."We need to disrupt the sequence," he shouted over the howling void. "This thing isn’t just coming through—it’s rewriting the rules! If we can sever its connection, we might be able to push it back."Mazda scoffed, eyes darting to the rift above them. "And how the hell do we sever something we
The Descent of Oblivion
Mazda wiped the blood from his face, his hands shaking as he watched the sky break apart. The air around them crackled with static, the battlefield eerily silent. Omega’s forces had long since fled, but it didn’t matter anymore. Nothing did.Because whatever was coming through that rift—it wasn’t meant for this world.Goro gritted his teeth, gripping his rifle as if it would make a difference. "We need to move. Now."Mazda barely registered his words. His eyes were locked on the presence descending from the rift. The void shifted around it, its form undefined, warping between states of existence. Every flicker of movement sent waves of nausea through his body, like his brain couldn’t comprehend what it was seeing.It wasn’t just a thing. It was a concept, something too vast, too infinite for the human mind to grasp.And it was looking at them.Hazeed—Inside the ChamberHazeed hit the ground hard, pain shooting up his spine. He barely had time to breathe before the world around him twi
The Brink
Hazeed gritted his teeth as he clutched the data pad, his mind racing. His heart pounded in his ears, drowning out the chaos around him. Omega’s forces were in full retreat, but not because of the rebels. They were running from it. The nightmare that had just unmade half their squad like they never existed.The creature pulsed, its shifting mass bending light and space around it. It wasn’t moving toward Hazeed. It was pulling him in."Shit."The gravity around him warped, his boots scraping against the dirt as he fought to stay upright. The data pad in his hands hummed violently, heat searing his palm."Hazeed, drop it!" Goro’s voice cut through the static in his head. "That thing wants it!"But Hazeed knew—he couldn’t. If this was the reason Omega was here, if they had risked everything to find it, then it meant something. And if that thing was after it, then destroying it might be their only way out.The problem was, he had no idea how."Fall back! Now!" Mazda shouted, dragging a wo
