"Hey, kiddo, is everything alright?" Festus asked from the other end of the phone "Yeah, I need your help with something. That is why I called," Eagan explained."Before you go ahead with what you need, how is the base? Gain told me about the attack on the shelter; how is everyone holding up?" Festus asked; he wanted to come down to the base to check things out for himself after the news, but he choked up with work and making reports on Scarface's raid."We are doing great at the moment; I'm not sure we could hold up much longer if the raid continues. The zombies have upgraded again, and now there are mutants with powerful attack and defense capabilities; I'm afraid if we don't do something about the organization, we will soon lose our lives," Eagan explained."Can you describe what it's like fighting mutants? I will have to make reports about it. Put your mind at rest. We also work our best to put the organization out of operation."Eagan explained everything about the new set of mon
Mission completed!The host has completed the Mission ‘wall upgrade.’You have received monster core level 1 x 10For completing the mission in time, you receive additional 10,000 pointsA new task will be generated in twenty-four hours.Eagan received the quest completion notice while away from the base, hunting and killing monsters. He let out a breath of relief, seeing the message.Throughout the week, he and his team had gone out repeatedly both to rescue the survivors around and also in search of more building materials; they had even gone to remove the gate in Scarface’s mansion when they couldn’t make a strong one themselves with the materials they have on the ground. Eagan had thought the system would disapprove of the wall somehow.“Do I have enough points to get some defensive weapons like torrents and traps?” Eagan stabbed the weak level one zombie on the head casually and continued to his next target; the point kept stacking on the more they kill+10
“The monster armies are ready. Should we deploy them to the enemy’s location?” Audrey asked his boss, Mr. Eric. The younger male, who had been busy pouring some blue liquid into smaller tubes, looked back to see the older male bowing slightly.“No, continue to study their attributes and how and when they grow weaker and stronger, study their fluctuations period and report back to me; send some men to spy on the said base to monitor them and what they are up to,” Mr. Eric ordered“We sent some spies a while ago; the only report we got is that the base is owned and managed by a young boy, and the boy happens to be a child to one of the people hindering our plans a couple of years ago about their training. There wasn’t anything suspicious,” Audrey reported“When you said the people who were hindering us a couple of years back, do you mean your former best friends? Or your ex-girlfriend?” the younger man smirked when he noticed Audrey’s slight flinch at the mention of a best friend. “I n
"I think you'll be invited to collaborate with the military soon. The issue is being debated as of now. It would be best if you didn't do it, but it's beyond my capacity; I hope you won't have to get involved at the end of their discussion," Festus complained.He had come to visit the shelter as soon as he as a break from work, worried that his nephew would need his help after being the focus of the new organization. If he had stayed any minutes longer at the military base, he would have been given something to do, despite it being a day given to him to rest. "Why would the military need to collaborate with us?" Eagan asked; a confused frown grazing his face as they stood on the far side of the field, watching the people trainingFestus brought out a cigarette and began smoking, mauling over the information from his workplace. He was conflicted about whether or not to tell his very young nephew about their operation.'Divulging military information can send one to prison, but he is m
Eagan got to work on his side mission immediately, instructing the people in charge of the farm areas to expand the farm and use the empty lands around them. With the extra building materials, they build a wall around the farm, separating it from the other parts of the base.The animal farm was also expanded and rebuilt in preparation for the upcoming cold season; the wool gathered from the sheep was processed into materials for making sweaters that would be given out during the cold season. Thanks to the system, Eagan remembered there were seasons during the year; it had skipped his mind that they needed to prepare for the harsh weather.As promised upon completion of the mission, the system provided him with the seeds of crops to be planted during winter, as winter is only a few months away.Days turned into weeks and weeks into months, and soon it was winter. During the past few months, they prepared for winter and trained themselves to the bone non-stop; they would only go out o
"Kekeke… my lord, everything is going according to plan. The foolish human has made the portion as directed and has fed it to his subordinate; the dark energy would gradually spread, preparing for your arrival!" a dwarf with a horn that resembles that of a goat on its head reported while kneeling in front of a giant throne made of bones. On the throne sat a very beautiful-looking tall man with long red hair and matching claws.He looked bored; his lazy eyes studied the dwarf demon below him as he tapped his claws on the arms of the throne. The room they were in was dimly lit, with no sunlight and just two candles standing in the large, almost empty throne room; except for those two, no one else was there.The great and undefeated demon lord of chaos had been bored with nothing to do while recovering his power from the last battle he had decades ago, even though he had won the war against the humans at the time. More than half of his strength was lost in that battle—the reason he had
It’s finally the day for the scheduled collaboration between the two parties. Eagan’s particular army and the military, after vigorous training on both sides, had finally scheduled a time to destroy the enemy’s laboratory. Before the raid, Eagan and his team were invited to the military base to test their capacities and combat knowledge. “We can’t just bring you along with us for an actual fight without knowing what you guys are capable of; it would drag us down and get most of us killed if we bring some bunch of noobs with us,” the captain of one of the teams for the raid said cockily to make Eagan and his team look smaller. He had heard many people repeatedly praising this particular civilian team in the base amongst other captains like himself and their seniors. He was part of the initial reasons why the raid had been prolonged this far: he refused anything to do with some overpraised noob civilians. It had taken a while to convince him, but he agreed that he would have to test t
After the sparing contest ended with Ryan's team's defeat, they set out toward J-city, where the laboratory is. Upon getting there, Eagan realized some had gone before them to set up camp in a hotel they had secured during one of their formal raids.The barricade that kept the camp safe was lifted as they got close; Eagan stepped down from the bus to meet with the other captain. "Welcome, I'm Captain David; nice you meet you" they shook hands, and Eagan introduced himself. He showed them around; standing around the camp were soldiers standing around in groups of twos and threes, fully armed and ready for action."We have 48 men, plus the other teams and yours, available here. Our total numbers should be around one hundred and twenty-something or so. With how dangerous the monsters here are, we need more people; unfortunately, the higher-ups can't afford more at a time like this," David explained as he showed Eagan around."We can make do with the numbers we have; we don't need t
"My... My lord! The gateway has been opened prematurely!" the one-horned demons steward rushed into the dark, cold palace sweating heavily, he knelt before the throne and reported "The energy gathered around the gate is not enough to transport the army and you, my lord.""Why did death servant open the gate prematurely?" a loud baritone voice asked from up the throne, his brows furrowed "Was there an order to open the gate?" a two-horned giant demon dressed in heavy armour, he is the demon army general Beelzebub, he knelt on one leg to salute the king "The location where the gate was placed on earth was suddenly attacked, the death servant thought there would be enough casualty to fill up the energy so we didn't interfere but only two people died and the others were just injured..." the one-horned demon explained regretfully "How incompetent!" the general declared "How can you assume in such a situation! Even when you are sure there will be a casualty to avoid stories that touch th
Large stone chunks fall all around them, barely passing over their heads as they ran out of the building, The Wereman carried Audrey on his shoulder, running as fast as they could, On their way out they met Ian, Priya and Shannon coming to find them upon seeing everyone was fine they ran towards the exit. People dressed in white lab coats as well as new test subjects that were brought in ran around in total disarray to find the closest exit, their faces ashen with urgency and fear. "We don't have time to rescue the researchers but we'll lead the civilians out with us, Brett and Milo guide them to the exit quickly!" Eagan instructed. Brett and Milo following instructions began leading the civilians out of the base with much effort, Milo leading on the front while Brett guard them from the back. A Mechanical voice can't out from the speakers "The centre is under attack, all the exits will be shut down and every data deleted, Self-destruct will commence in 5...4...3.." "Fuck, what
"All you did was for your fucking entertainment! Stop fucking lying to yourself, and feeling self-righteous!" Silver felt so angry that he nearly dash forward to bash the older man's head on the wall continuously. Eagan signalled to him to stand down and with a loud 'hmph' he sat on the floor with a gun sitting on his lap "Even in death, you won't feel repentant about the evil you've committed, and killing you is letting you off easily. I'll make sure you experience a life where you'd wish for death every hour of the day! That will be your retribution" Eagan stated and brought out a handcuff to restrain him before handing him over to an angry Silver and an excited Milo. "Dr Martins should be done let's go out and see, Ian, Shannon and Priya go down and destroy the large circle, do it in the next five minutes" Eagan led the way out of the training room as they dragged out Audrey with his knees kissing the floor. A loud heart-wrenching roar pierced through the air, making people t
"Clang! Swish!" Sounds of metal clashing filled the room as both parties attacked one another, aiming for each other's vital spot and defending against the attack with no one having an advantage over the other as they were both evenly matched both in speed and attack force. Eagan feigned an attack towards Gabe's legs to distract him, using the opportunity he retreated to create some distance between the two, He spits out a mouthful of blood and wiped his mouth with his bare hands smearing his face with the permanent the face 'Fuck! He is a tough nut to crack! Can't believe he has been holding back during training! Killing him will prove more difficult than expected' Eagan thought as he gripped the hilt of his sword tighter "Your killing intent is so enticing! Hahaha!" Gabe laughed as he charged forward to close the distance between the two "I can't help but want to indulge you a little bit, don't worry I won't kill you after all of us are still useful to the boss! It tastes so pu
"Is there a way to save those who have been mutated? Since the mutation happened from a serum if we study the serum shouldn't we be able to find a cure?" Eagan asked Dr Martins curiously"Some of us have tried, several times, but we couldn't find the properties of the serum not to talk of a cure. We are still studying it though we should be able to find something in the long run" Dr Martins explained dejectedly, his voice shaking as the image of their failed experiments flashed through his mind. Eagan nodded and then went back to laying down, he stared at the ceiling deep in thought, he wanted to help Dr Martins somehow and even though he knows that killing the evil woman will do justice but he felt he could do more, besides he hoped that there was a way to create a cure. 'Are we going to leave all the thousands of people to die? It has crossed my mind more than once, there should be some kind of cure, I mean a permanent cure or something..."(There is) the system announced silently
"Dr Martin, don't tell me you are feeling reluctant about the test subjects. Too bad the effect isn't reversible." Dr Finn teased; she placed the blood samples she had just gotten from the test subjects into a silver tray and waved her assistants away. She turned to the middle-aged male doctor with a smile that failed to reach her eye; it is obvious she is trying to pick a fight with him."Dr Finn, it is truly regrettable that the effect of the serum isn't reversible; if it were, you would have been able to 'cure' your useless son, who is neither useful to humanity nor to the 'greater cause' you preach about. I happen to be fond of the new serum and its effect, so permit me to continue with my research; I won't see you out!" Dr Martins continued with the data he was gathering.more like putting up a front about gathering data,"Hmph! Do you think our words are enough to make me angry? I'll have you know you are gravely wrong; he has always been a useless and good-for-nothing son, and
Expressionlessly, the test subjects got in position to fight with the various weapons given to them, varying from guns to swords.Audrey, Mr. Eric, and Dr. Finn stood in a safe space away from the ongoing battle to watch the test subject's performance."Should will reduce the stimulation on the first badge of test subjects?" Dr. Finn asked "We have tested the new ones and we don't know their capabilities yet. They'll probably be overwhelmed by the number they have to face" She explained not taking her eyes off the fighting subjects "No, there won't be a need to reduce the stimulation, we can't afford to have weak soldiers, if one dies it's just not strong enough" Mr. Eric respond On the battlefield, Eagan held the sword he was given tightly, as he rushed toward the monsters and zombies, slicing and saving their weak points as he proceeds forward. When he got surrounded, his comrades come to his aid, shooting the monsters to clear a part for him so he could proceed further. "Those s
"Prepare the test subjects to meet with the leader later, there mustn't be any blunders whatsoever" Dr. Finn instructed the subordinates in charge of the brainwashing, They drilled their new identities into them, such as their names and what they were required to do. Following Eagan's instruction they played along and repeated everything as the doctor said.Soon they were brought into an empty hall and were made to line up like soldiers waiting for orders, Eagan, Milo, Silver, and two other test subjects that weren't from their group stood in front while the others stood bent them in a straight and orderly line.A tall man dressed in a black suit with chocolate brown dress shoes marched in, it was the Owner of the organization, Mr. Eric, alongside the disfigured Audrey and Dr. Finn [Name: Eric Marvins Age: 28 Height: 6'2 Information: slave to the demon God of chaos, contactor of the death system ] [Name: Audrey Martin Age: 45 Height: 5'6 Information: he who betrayed his friend
I'm sorry for the disappointments over the past few weeks, and months.I'm a bad author and I apologize, no words could describe how deeply sorry I am I have been going through some tough times and haven't been able to write as often as I would like to due to some mental strain and a lack of inspiration to do anything creative.
