"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
"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
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
As the first rays of dawn began to filter through the cracks in the warehouse's metal roof, Hazeed stood with his team, fully geared and ready for what lay ahead. The map Mazda had decrypted was now etched in their minds, each location a potential battleground. The stakes had never been higher, and with Omega tightening their grip, every second counted.Max, ever the strategist, was already barking orders. "Team Alpha, you’ll hit the northern facility. It’s heavily guarded, but that’s where Omega’s supply chains are most vulnerable. Team Beta, you’re with me on the southern command center. We need to cut off their communications." He paused, scanning the group. "This is the beginning of the end, people. Make it count."Hazeed adjusted his weapon, glancing at the faces around him. His crew, a ragtag group of rebels, had become more than just comrades in arms. They were his family now. Mazda, the brilliant hacker who had decrypted Omega’s secrets. Max, the cold and c
Hazeed stood in the dim light of the warehouse, his mind already shifting to the next phase of their plan. The data they had obtained could turn the tide of their rebellion, but it would only be useful if they could decode it and strike Omega where it hurt the most.Mazda, her brow furrowed, moved towards the small terminal they had set up in the corner. "I’ll start running decryption protocols," she said, her fingers already flying over the keys. The others gathered around her, their expressions a mix of exhaustion and anticipation. Max, the team’s strategist, leaned against a wall, arms crossed, surveying the scene. His sharp eyes always missed nothing."We don’t have much time," Max muttered, his voice low. "Omega won’t take kindly to this little raid. They’ll be mobilizing every resource they have to find us.""I know," Hazeed replied, his tone steady despite the adrenaline still pumping through his veins. "We can’t afford to wait. As soon as Mazda cracks this, we move."Mazda’s f
Hazeed emerged from the hidden passage into the eerie stillness of Sector Delta. The dilapidated streets were shrouded in shadows, the faint hum of Omega's drones lingering in the distance. His heart raced as he sprinted through the narrow alleys, clutching the portable device that held the key to their rebellion. He couldn't stop, not now. As he rounded a corner, a flash of light caught his attention. A patrol drone hovered nearby, its mechanical eye scanning the area. Hazeed pressed himself against the crumbling wall, holding his breath. The drone buzzed past, unaware of his presence. He took a moment to recalibrate, mentally mapping the quickest route back to the tunnels. But his respite was brief. The sound of boots crunching on gravel grew louder behind him. Omega soldiers. They were relentless, moving in a tight formation to cover the sector. Hazeed gritted his teeth. He couldn’t afford to be caught—not with the data that could shift the tide of their battle. He turned down
While Hazeed and his team caught their breath at the safe house, tension filled the air. The warehouse they used as temporary shelter trembled with the city’s never-ending hum, as if Omega was watching them from every corner.Mazda and Max finally arrived with their group through the tunnels. They looked weary and worn, yet determined. “We’re off their radar for now,” Max said, glancing at Hazeed with a hint of relief. “But we can’t stay here long. They’ll keep tracking us.”Hazeed nodded, gathering everyone around. “You all know that Omega won’t stop until they have us. They may have power, but we have something more important—our drive to fight and the intel to take them down from the inside.”Mazda added quickly, “Omega has taken over most of the city, but there’s one place they think is unimportant—Sector Delta. It’s a small settlement on the city’s edge, almost forgotten, but its underground network still connects to an old government data center from
As the night descended over the city, casting shadows across the looming skyscrapers and silent alleyways, Hazeed and his team gathered at the entrance of the warehouse. Every survivor was quiet, a tension filling the air as they prepared to leave. The plan to infiltrate Omega's monitoring center was risky, but it was the only way forward.Mazda adjusted the hood on her jacket, concealing her face. “We’re ready when you are, Hazeed.”He looked around at his team and the group of weary survivors. "Listen, everyone. Tonight, we make a move that could change everything. But remember, stay close, stay quiet, and follow my lead. We’re stronger than Omega thinks."Lira secured her laptop and nodded to Hazeed, determination in her eyes. “I’ll handle the tech once we’re inside. We just need to get close enough.”Max, standing off to the side, gave Hazeed a reassuring nod. “My contacts said the security is tight but predictable. With these tools, we’ll have an advantage.”They moved as a singl
As Hazeed and his team continued to organize the group of survivors, the urgency of the situation weighed heavily on his mind. They couldn’t stay at Central City Station for long—Omega’s forces could be closing in at any moment.“We need to move fast,” Hazeed said, his voice low but commanding. “Mazda, do you have any idea how far Omega’s reach extends here?”Mazda shook her head, her expression grim. “I’ve heard rumors, but nothing concrete. They could have infiltrated parts of Earth without us knowing.”Max glanced around at the bustling station, his eyes scanning for potential threats. “This place is too exposed. We’re sitting ducks.”Hazeed nodded. “We’ll split up. Mazda, you and Max take half the group and head towards the old subway tunnels. It’s off the grid—Omega won’t be able to track us there immediately.”Mazda and Max exchanged a quick glance before agreeing. “What about you?” Mazda asked, concerned.“I’ll take the rest of the survivors and head to an old safe house I know
Hazeed and his team continued their journey through the alien landscape, each step taken with caution and purpose. As they ventured deeper into this foreign world, they stumbled upon a peculiar structure that emitted a faint hum, reminiscent of the portal they had previously encountered."Could this be another portal?" Max wondered aloud, examining the structure's intricate designs and glowing symbols.Hazeed nodded, his curiosity piqued. "It might be our way out. We need to investigate further."With careful precision, they activated the structure, which began to pulse with energy. Suddenly, a bright light enveloped them, and they felt the familiar sensation of being pulled by an unseen force. The landscape around them blurred and distorted, as if they were being transported through a tunnel of light.When the light subsided, Hazeed and his team found themselves in an entirely different setting. Instead of the alien landscape, they were now inside a dimly lit, moving train. The rhyth
Hazeed and his team continued their journey through the dark and winding corridors of the spacecraft until they arrived in a spacious room. In the center of the room, there was a brightly glowing portal, emitting a mysterious aura.Hazeed gazed at the portal cautiously, contemplating their next move. "This might be the key to getting out of here," he said to his team. "But we have to be cautious. No one knows what might happen when we pass through it."The team agreed, showing their fearless determination. Carefully, they approached the portal, ready to face whatever might await them on the other side.Hazeed led their steps, inching forward and crossing the threshold of the mysterious portal, followed by his loyal team.Moments after passing through the portal, they felt a strange sensation enveloping their bodies, as if they were being pulled by an unseen force. And when they opened their eyes, they found themselves standing in a landscape entirely foreign to them.Their eyes widene
Hazeed, now dressed in a different uniform, surveyed the multitude of humans imprisoned around him. The situation became even more bewildering as he realized he had seemingly switched roles with someone else from the user's narrative. Nevertheless, he knew he had to act swiftly to help these captives and understand the new reality he found himself in. With determination in his eyes, Hazeed began to devise a plan to free the imprisoned humans and uncover the mysteries of this unfamiliar world.Gathering his newly formed team, Hazeed addressed them, his voice firm but reassuring. "Alright everyone, listen up. We find ourselves in a situation none of us expected, but we can't dwell on that now. Our priority is to free these prisoners and ensure their safety. We need to work together and stay focused."One of his team members, a young woman with a determined look, spoke up. "But how do we even know who to trust? We're in a completely unfamiliar environment."Hazeed nodded, understanding h
