2024-10-29 19:42:56The meeting went on for a while more before everyone left the building and either went to their various places of work which were only those who still had one and needed it to survive or where they've decided to spend their leisure time for the guild members who were retired. It was just a couple of minutes since this particular Saturday afternoon started and those at a certain bar as well as other leisure establishments were tuning their television sets to the highly anticipated broadcast of trial currently taking place inside the Metro City's High court.
This particular bar was the one inside the apartment building where most of the Hunters guild members lived and although other people from different buildings and streets could come in to spend their time and were even presently inside and getting a few drinks too, those more prone to patronize and are seen to be more now were the tenants of this building. Also, the Hunter's guild conference building

I AM BEYOND HUMAN STATIC
*STATIC* As the "STANDBY..." message remained on the middle and the sound of static buzzing from the television set became the center of attention of everyone who had been watching the trail from wherever they are, Paul and Steve remained sat, leaned forward and staring with their foreheads scrunched denoting scepticism while their minds were perplexed as to what had just happened. The two men of varying ages sat in silence for a couple of seconds with each trying to first come to an understanding of what just happened on their own before they even attempt at asking the other for their input. Because the silence had gone on for too long, even though it had only been seconds, Paul decided he would just get it over with and because Steve was the one who had been watching the trail since it started and he had just joined him when this happened, maybe the younger man would have a better clue than he who obviously didn't. "What in the world just happened?"
I AM BEYOND HUMAN THE TRUTH
"""WHAT!!?""" Everyone everywhere which this broadcast was being watched by had a moment of unanimous exclamation as they all couldn't believe what they just heard with their own ears. "The truth about the Pyrex 9 virus? What the hell does that mean?" Paul mumbled, paying close attention so he doesn't miss anything being said. The masked individual continued "About two decades ago the president of the GHA, Gabriel Beldior Valestein, who is indeed a very terrifying man, stumbled upon a one of a kind gemstone, a boy who so happened to possess inhumanly abilities and that knowledge was shared only with those in power with those big names including your nation's former presidents, the military general directly under him as well as the rulers of your Three Kingdoms. Like all power hungry maniacs who aren't satisfied with the stolen resources your ancestors gave to them they still sought for a way to make more of this gemstone but tried to keep everything under wra

The power to the television, fan and all the lightbulbs went out and they were left to the light source coming in through the windows. Same windows which the murmurs from the bar was currently sipping through as they reacted to the power being out too. "Weird! The power has never been out before. You paid the light bill like you're supposed to right Pa?" Steve asked dropping the remote on the armrest again while attempting to stand up. "Of course I did. Listen to Kevin and the rest, you can tell that our apartment isn't the only place without power. Must be a block wide thing" said Paul, getting up too and walking over to the window. "Or maybe the entire district" After looking out to a digital billboard all the way at the neighboring block and seeing that it was off too Paul concluded. "Damn! If that's the case then what'd you think could have caused it!" "I don't know, maybe somethings wrong at the pla— Huh? What's

With the sound of two gun shots fired and their pitches that made it clear that they were both from two different guns the Upriser Lieutenant and the regular Upriser who had had Michelle pinned down were both hit and pushed backwards, both slamming a portion of their bodies on the van which they came here with. Surprised at what just happened but also happy and being able to see the opportunity that had just presented itself the Hunters who were in the bar and had first rushed but were forced to stop by the Upriser Lieutenant until this happened still had a little momentum in them which they instantly added more to and picked up their pace, dashing outside the bar and standing in an improvised support formation behind the others, Michelle and Kevin who had gone down and was helping her up. "Wait!" Laying on the ground and managing to rest his body on the tire of the van as he applied pressure on his shoulder which was where the bullet had hit, a few centimete

They were the only line of defense for a range of here and they were the only ones permitted to have guns, although having limited ammunition so they felt like it was up to them to defend the block "You must not have done your proper research before coming over here. Every single person standing out here with a weapon in their hand and challenging you right now is either a veteran or has had multiple dealings in dangerous life threatening situations during our past lives so if this is to become a blood bath then we're all ready for it" "I know all about all your past accolades. Members of the Hunters guild and you aren't afraid of a battle, however, if we're speaking about research then I should let you know that we know that the only ammunition you have are those currently in your guns and you can't have any more except you've been permitted to and that's not going to happen right now so once you've fired and your cartridge comes empty that's it for yo

A couple of minutes, up to thirty minutes earlier, after the meeting at the Hunters guild conference Hall pertaining the shifting of their annual hunting festival had just concluded and most had started heading out to continue with the rest of their day, Xander and a few others were made to stay behind and tidy up the place before they leave as it was their time on the roster. "You're joining me later for a drink right Xander?" Asked Kevin as he, Michelle and Paul were just about to head out. "Of course Kevin, it's a shame that I have to arrange today or we would have watched the trail together but once I'm done here it'll only take me a moment to get to the bar" "Yeah, but what the real shame here is is that because we're leaving before you and since I can't wait cause I'm missing trail time right now, we can't get a ride in that Jeep of yours. Could have gotten to the bar a lot faster with that beauty instead of having to trek like everyone else
I AM BEYOND HUMAN SENSITIVE TOPIC
Xander held on to his phone with both hands then sat on the chair, slouching forward and hands between his thighs like he was in deep thought as the rest of the broadcast went on, concentrating on it with all his mind. He was internalizing every single word that was being said and as he sat like that the others who had all been busy cleaning and were almost done with their parts all started to throw glances towards the man. "Hey, what's wrong with Xander?" "We've been cleaning all this time and are almost done but he hasn't gotten far with his own part and now he's seating like that. You think he's sick or something?" "Lemme go ask him" said one of the other Hunters, a female who walked up to the man and placed her hand on his shoulder in an attempt at getting his attention which she did. "What?" Xander took out one of the airpods and looked up at the lady who looked genuinely concerned "You okay Xander? You're

Because he had been streaming the trail broadcast as well as the news report given to everyone by the Upriser commander like a podcast he hadn't really seen much from the stream but during that time he had sat down in order to get a better listen which was when the others thought that he had gotten sick, Xander had seen a short few seconds of the broadcast and saw the uniforms that the three Uprisers on the screen had had on and it was uncanny from what these assailants had on now. "Drop it! Drop your weapons now!" Shouted the Uprisers as they stormed inside the building and with the force and pressure they were coming in with, a few of the Hunters in the conference Hall already, especially the lady who used to be a secretary before but now a hunter couldn't help but have her hand trembling with fear as this was a situation she has never been in before. However, because the others still had their weapons pointed and were willing to die to fight for themselves

THE RIFT BETWEEN
I just want to say a big THANK YOU to every single reader that was able to get this far. Thanks for picking up this story and continuing with it even when the writing wasn't as good at the beginning and when the plot was feeling flat because I wasn't in a good head space or had enough free time to write what I wanted. Thank you for helping me grow as an author and tell my story and get your thoughts on it through the comments. Thank you for following me to the end of this journey. It's been almost two years since I started and finally the story comes to an end (or does it?) If you noticed I was kind of making things up as I went along which is why there are a few plot holes and things I forgot I had written before that didn't tie in well with the continuity of the story. This is my first ever book so a few mistakes are to be expected but regardless I apologise for them. I wanted to use this medium to both declare my appreciation for you guys as well as to pas

MAKING THE RESET
I had called my handler to meet me by a nearby coffee shop and by the time I got there he was already seated, waiting for me. Normally I avoid contact with him because it's always him hounding me about something but this was the first time in a long time that I was the one doing the reaching out."Sorry to keep you waiting Nick" I shook his hand then sat down."No problem, so, what is the purpose of this unexpected meeting""I want you to tell me everything about the Arc Agents and what the GHA's real objective is" I didn't waste anytime to ask the real questions.Nick was shocked by the bluntness of my question then tried to deny everything I asked and said in that meeting, gaslighting me most of the time and so it ended up with me not getting any worthwhile information out of him. The meeting took place before I had to go for work so without getting anywhere we ended it and I went to work but I knew that my questions wouldn't stay with Nick but wo

"Please make it in time""If I do this then maybe it'll make up for the fact that all of this happened because I jumped back""Please make it in time"I was currently stuck in a hellish nightmare which was entirely guilt driven. Every action and consequences of said action replayed in my head, panicking, unable to find peace until I woke up with a *GASP*After forcefully waking up, I reached for something with my hand only for that to be the ceiling of someplace I couldn't recognize or knew how I got there. I would pant, trying to catch my breath when all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my chest.My teeth gritted and eyes squinting in pain, I reached for the source of this excruciating pain which was when I noticed the medical equipments I was hooked to and that I was on a hospital bed."This is familiar" I said internally after thinking of how it reminded me of waking up in a hospital as my host, the last time I jumped into the pas

Mirajh jumped off from the top of the drone and they walked up to the others and because Mirajh was there, Talon quickly relinquished his temporarily given authority in favour of hers."Mirajh and Malkome, you guys made it. So what's going on?" Talon asked."It's over, all our forces have been killed and from the looks of it, we are the only ones left so the question now should be, what should we do next?"Once she said that all their forces had been killed, there was a unanimous dropping of jaws and none of them expected that it could have gotten this bad. They had completely underestimated the Arc Agents and the trainees. The GHA weren't even able to send their Forces Units to assist but the trainees alone along with help from the Arc Agents were able to decimate their entire forces."What about General Icon, does any of you know his whereabouts? If we can verify his status then we might be able to come up with a plan" Talon asked but seeing the look on

FINAL PAGES
Once we were brought to the back, my eyes went to the elderly looking man sitting on a metallic chair with a caramel skin coloured lady by his right hand side. In front of them I saw two more individuals who weren't turned to us at the time we entered. One of them I couldn't tell their identity from their stature but the other I knew perfectly well who it was. "Char!" Before I could get the word out Levy called out to Boyo who once the both of them turned we saw an annoyed look on his face and it was clear by that look that he didn't want us to be there. The Upriser behind us pushed the both of us, telling Levy and I to keep on walking which we did until we walked up to where Boyo and the others were. "Nice to meet you, the both of you" Icon greeted us with a gentle smile which was obvious that he was hiding something from everyone, including those who were supposed to be his comrades in there. There was still something he failed to expose. "!!" Levy

THE JOURNAL BELONGS TO...
""A journal?!"" Both Boyo and Jeremiah exclaimed."Yes... SIGH... A very long time ago, way before our formerly great nation was completely destroyed, former General Franklin Crow brought a younger me to one of his expeditions but this want just any regular expedition. It all started with him unintentionally finding the Philosophers Stone which brought about the rebirth and Emergence of our greatest soldier Anthony Wonne on one of his trips into the United States territory, allowing us to tap into a power that was only secret to our enemies. At that time and I had just been born so my father was the one who spearheaded the position I would later get when I was old enough so none of them knew that that small piece of attractive stone had such power hidden within it until years later, moments before the fall of the Old Soviet Alliance territory"Icon spoke with vivid words so that they would be carried along to where he was heading to."Being a curious man and thi

LOST WAR EVEN BEFORE BEGINNING
"Holy shit, what's that up there?" I couldn't help but exclaim while I and Levy tried our best to sneak into the slaughter house. We were moving very carefully, trying not to make any noise when my eyes just went up to the sky and I saw some strange looking patterns being created. "Shush Samuels, do you want to get us caught?" Levy reprimanded me with a low tone of voice but when she turned around to face me and do that she saw the awe stricken expression I had and my gaze up to the sky and she too followed. "What are you looking at?" she had her eyebrows scrunched. The moment she asked that question, my eyes flicked to her and I saw that she too was looking up to the sky but instantly realised the fact that she most definitely wasn't seeing what I was seeing. 'Don't tell me that I'm really the only one who sees that thing? No, that must be it because with her keen senses she would have noticed it even before I did if she could see it. Am I perh

NUCLEAR DIVERSION
Because the GIGANTA MACHINA worked like one big system, when the center of it was torn apart and the Stealth Drones that made up that part being completely destroyed the rest separated and returned to being Drones but because of what happened to the fused system the Stealth device they had was damaged and the separated drones were no longer able to go invisible.They all flew in different paths, dividing into those wanting to attack the trainees and those wanting to attack Michael but Michael acted quickly and changed where the outlet of the explosion was and used that to sweep the drones coming for him until all the explosion energy had been exhausted. From that point he attacked every single drone in the air with his BLACK FORCE-FIELD BLADE, not giving any the chance to attack the trainees but that meant that he had a lot to take care of on his own.With all their Force-fields no longer a viable option for defense and all the trainees they had to go against rea
