The world was never fair and equal from the start. Slow were the bottom feeders and above stops those meant to trample on them. In an enormous space filled with old-fashioned computers and equipment, several people punched their keyboards tirelessly. Some were dogs and others "Ma'am." An expressionless scar-face man spoke. "I think you should take a look at this.""Oh?"Madam Sure, who was on her way to see one of the big bosses in another room, moved her enticing across to the scar-face man on with interest. "What's got you so hot and bothered?" Tightening her red long, sharp nails on his chin, she narrowed her gaze dangerously. "It better be good."The man didn't flinch, showing that those who could have stations on this floor weren't your ordinary sort of people. "Forgive me for my insolence, ma'am, but someone has activated the signal.""So what? Don't you know the protocol to follow if a guest does that?""Yes, I do. However, this situation is different. The button was indeed
They had no more time to waste.dropping to the floor, Leorio carefully used 2 pins from the fat man's pockets and touched several parts as though he were working under a car."It's done," Leorio commented, dusting off his body as he took to his feet.Bain seemed to know what he wanted to do, already putting his hands on the bed's headrest.With the signal from Leorio, Bain pulled the headrest as slowly as he could."That's good enough for now. Any more and we'll be alerting the guards again."Yeah," Bain said, quickly taking his hands off the headrest.On another close inspection, he saw an open vent finally revealed.So that's it!Could it be the escape vent was there for the coroners in case something truly out of control happened?'I see. So its design is the same as an emergency door, another way for them to leave the room. After all, there might be a situation where the enemy is just outside their door trying to bring in.'Bain wasn't so sure about where the hidden passage led to
Dammit!The unit leader's eyes turned red with rage when he understood his dilemma.Who was it that betrayed them?"No use thinking so much." The target chuckled, slowly rising to his feet once more. "Well, my time here is done. And according to your watch, you only have 5 seconds left...How pitiful."WHAT?The leader and the others screamed in their bellies in fear, trying their best to reach the target and take him with them when they met their maker.Like a spell, after the target's cursed words, their breathing grew 10 times heavier and their chests suddenly grew stiff.Like fish out of water, they struggled for air as much as they could to no avail. But it was no use. Death was imminent.1, 2, 3... Dead. A dreadful silence now engulfed the scene with the men and women no longer moving.The target shrugged, no longer concerning himself with the dead bodies in the room.Baahahahahahah~He laughed when looking at the disc in his hand. Great! He was finally able to take his disc b
A few minutes later, Eragon was on all fours with veins popping from his neck when going over what just happened to him right now. It had already been a few minutes in their company but Eragon had to admit he felt the need to throttle the one leading them through the vent. "Run it through me one more time. Just now exactly did you know my plans?"As a person who prides himself on being one of the smartest in this hell hole, don't they know that their actions alone had slapped him in the face? He wasn't arrogantly saying he was the most intelligent man in the Mainland. But okay, can you at least give him some credit for evading several forces here and there? Do you think it's easy to know his plans and counterattack them without him realizing it? Eragon was annoyed, knowing he had walked into a trap. Seeing as the duo didn't want to give him a straight answer, he couldn't help rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Can you at least tell me who you belong to?"What organization was he
Tap. The trio jumped down from the vents, with Leorio grumbling to the skies. Way to go asshole! Now, they're only left with 3 fucking minutes to go.Can you believe that guy? Sure, the news was thrilling, but they were at a fucking crossroads here and had no time for stories.Standing by the door, Bain double-checked the dagger hidden under his sleeves. It was a dagger from the Fatso they left in the room. He also grabbed a few others from those Eragon killed. Leorio looked at Gray again, a hidden perplexity brooding in his mind. It was odd. He labeled Gray as strange in his mind. "You said you killed before?" "Hmhm," Gray nodded. "I killed a person in Mainland." "And you had no reaction?" Gray scratches his head in confusion, "Should I?" "_"Odd.Eragon, who heard this, also felt Gray was odd. He had Innocence, but would an ordinary person treat a pile of courses like they were daisies? "Gray Ratnier… you sure are one weird kid…. It's clear," Leorio moved his ears away
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bullets flew in all directions, as more and more people stepped out from the door to shoot at the sons of bitches who dared escape their Casino.What a drag. Leorio rolled to the side, behind an old overturned, rusted truck with its parts burrows under the ground and its skeleton wheel facing the skies.The truck has been here for ages and no one ever thought of taking it away.There were old bullet holes in it, and because of Leorio, new bullet holes poured on the poor broken-down body like crazy.Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Leorio raised his head, putting 2 hands on the rusted vehicle and shooting away like crazy. "Bloody hell, Eragon, just get to the fucking van already!" "I'm on it, I'm on it, asshole!"Bang! Bang! "Maybe if you'd like down a bit, my fucking legs will move faster." Bang! Bang! "Hey guys… we got company at 9 O'clock." Bang! Bang! Leorio and Eragon, who had just shot down a driver and were about to enter the van, saw a window hastily open on t
In the year RE-500, a remarkable discovery was made – The Keltar potion.Humans were injected with this unique formula that could change and mutate their genes, giving them stronger bodies and longer lifespans.Humans could now live to 380~400 years old.The results were spectacular. At the age of 50, people still looked like they were in their late teen years of 17 or 18.This was a big advancement.It was discovered that a person born could grow up till the age of 16 before looking ultimately the same for the following decades, aging slowly until they died.This was why 16 was the adult age in the New Age.…[Location]Blue Sails Planet, Year RE-4000.Oven Country, Supreme Honey City..The city of Honeycomb was a beautiful region, with every plant having an exterior texture resembling a honeycomb.The city was known to have the purest grade of honey and nectarine in the entirety of Blue Sails. But today, many were not gathered to admire the stunning city sites.The sun was up, and
One by one, those before Bain were judged. And soon, it was his turn."Next!"The front guard fiercely nudged him forward, letting him stand on a massive white square below his feet. Looking around, Bain thought this should be the perfect position for all cameras to capture him."Former Military Recruit, Bain Ratnier, age 16…" The judge momentarily paused, arousing the curiosity of many watching.The judge cleared his throat, reading the charges with a stoic expression."Bain Ratnier, recruited to the army 5 and a half months ago. Charged with not only maliciously killing your Supervisor during your first outdoor training but also killing the other 449 in your camp!"He didn't do it.Bain was overwhelmed, thinking of that fateful day.In Oven Country, after 3 months of service, new military recruits would join light-weighted or laissez-faire missions that required little to no effort. It was practically 99% risk-free and was only there first to teach them how to force out in various c
