"Still not taking me seriously?" Liam said with a smirk. In a split second, he vanished from where he stood, the wind creating a sonic boom where he last stood as he instantaneously broke the sound barrier. The female almighty wasn't too surprised. She had seen him fight the county-level blessed and knew he had a bizarre blessing that made it seem like he had multiple authorities at once. They typically involved a strong pressuring aura, super regeneration, super strength, super durability, super senses, and the one he's using right now, super speed. Liam flinched when he realized that the female almighty was still able to trace his movements, even while he was moving as fast as he possibly could. "She's a tad bit faster than I am, but no matter." Liam backhanded his blade and struck from behind, but the female almighty wouldn't make the same mistake of letting his sword touch her again. She vanished and appeared above him, with a piece of a broken pillar in her hand, which
United States, Washington DC. In the heart of the nation’s capital, where the majestic edifices of power and history stand tall, a cutting-edge facility nestled among them had become the beacon of technological marvels. TECHON Labs, renowned for its groundbreaking research and innovations, was on the cusp of unveiling a revolutionary discovery. "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to TECHON Labs. My name is George Brown, lead researcher and beta tester of the Blessed Gem project. Today, we will introduce you to a discovery unlike any other. Please, follow me for a tour of our workspace." George Brown, a middle-aged man with thinning hair, a meticulously groomed beard, and a pair of glasses perched precariously on his nose, wore a lab coat that fluttered slightly as he began to walk. His voice carried a tone of authority and enthusiasm, resonating in the sterile, high-ceilinged corridor. The walls were adorned with sleek, modern designs, punctuated by occasional displays of f
"This is a restricted area, ID and permit, lady." Lisa took a wobbly step back, her heart racing with fear. However, it wasn't fear that would paralyze her; it was the kind that sharpens a veteran infiltrator's instincts. She quickly composed herself, her mind racing through her options. She initiated an act, a trick she had perfected over years of espionage. Smiling calmly, she flushed her cheeks and slanted her eyes, giving the guards the impression they were being seduced by a fox spirit. She staggered forward, mimicking the gait of a drunkard stumbling out of a taxi. When she was close enough, she deliberately fell towards the guards. The one nearest to her immediately lowered his gun and caught her before she hit the ground. He inhaled sharply, greedily drawing in her scent. Her body felt boneless in his arms, causing him to lower his guard completely. The nerdy look, he thought, must be a facade. He was right, but before he could react, a sharp pain in his abdomen startled hi
“Halt, this is a restricted area”. The guards yelled, But Lisa wasn’t someone to scare easy, she grabbed a nearby chair and smashed the glass into a million pieces.She grabbed the crimson gem and began a mad dash towards the glass window on the edge of the room. When she arrived next to the window she didn’t hesitate to jump through it like an Olympic high jumper. She crashed directly through the glass and into the next room, Lisa didn’t know where she was going so she crashed into the equipments in the room and collapsed to the ground.Lisa groaned in pain, even before opening her eyes she could still hear the sound of people running and the inaudible sound of their screams, but Lisa still forced her eyes open and shot to her feet’s.She looked around, she seemed to have thrown herself into a lab of some sort cause there where actual real life nerds screaming in fright and trying their hardest to exit the room.[where are my?] Lisa questioned while rubbing the back of her head.~Y
"Big bro, a girl is at the door and she says she’s a friend of yours.” The yell of the twelve-year-old could be heard all over the multi-million-dollar mansion. The audible scream startled Liam awake from his slumber, causing him to tumble down the bed together with his sheets. “Fuck.” Liam cursed. He forced his way up, defying gravity while rushing into the bathroom. Barely five seconds later, he burst through the bathroom door with a brush and toothpaste still in his mouth. He ran over to the wardrobe and picked out a random shirt and trousers. Just as he was about to put them on, he remembered the toothpaste and the water droplets that were on him. “Fuuuuuuck.” ... Meanwhile, downstairs a teenage black-haired girl awkwardly sat on the sofa accompanied by twelve-year-old Julie, Liam’s younger sister. “So, how did you two meet?” Julie asked with her childish voice. “We met in school, and for the hundredth time, we aren’t dating, okay?” The black-haired girl said with an exas
TECHON Labs, Third floor.Hurried footsteps of men echoed through the stairway, Mr George and he’s crew finally made it to the point of the commotion, but when they arrived all they met was a bunch of men laying dead on the stairway.Majority of them had similar injuries, a slit throat or jabbed stomach or neck, it was clear that they were killed by the same person.“What do we do sir?”.One of the guards next to Mr George asked.Mr George puffed in rage, he’s face looked like that of a dying pig, he suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot the guard that questioned him.“What do you do?, here’s what you’re gonna do, find the bastard that did this and get my blessed gems back”. There was a short moment of silence before the men rushed out in different directions and started searching for the unknown enemy.It was at that moment Mr George’s walkie talkie received a call, which he immediately picked up hoping a useful guard actually existed in the building. “Mr George, the intruder is a fe
At kings college gates, Bell stood silently with an inpatient expression on her pretty face, she continuously tapped her feet and occasionally checked the time on her phone.“Where the hell did he go?, I specifically said wait for me till I’m through with classes”. Just when Bell was about to lose it, a haggardly looking Liam appeared in her line of sight, he seemed to have ran all the way back while continuously hoping he wasn’t too late.Liam held he’s steps several meters from Bell before he proceeded to walk up to her.“Sorry am late Bell, I got carried away while taking a short walk”. Bell glared daggers at Liam but still didn’t want to waste any more time than they already had.“Come on, the park opens at eight and it’s already seven thirty, and we still have to walk there”. Bell said with quick breaths.“Don’t worry, I called an Uber”. And as if asked to wait for he’s que the Uber driver pulled up behind Liam.“Oh, let’s go then”. Bell said while pulling Liam’s arm, “Drive”. B
The next morning.Liam grunted as he’s eyes slowly opened.The previous day was both tedious and eventful for him.He glanced over at the clock on the wall that said six am, Liam doesn’t wake up this early on weekdays but the pain from the blessed gem poking at he’s leg lead to the current situation.Liam turned himself over and pulled out the gem from he’s pocket and Immediately became absorbed in its unholy lighting.The gem had dark crimson clouds within it, almost like a mini thunder storm, the outer layer was perfectly crafted beyond anything a man nor machine could ever hope to archive.And within the dark clouds Liam could had sworn he spotted a little humanoid creature frozen within it.“Blessed Gem”. Liam murmured before suddenly shooting up to he’s feet’s.He jumped he’s computer table and began to type hysterically, the keyboard keys sounded like ammunition with Liam’s fingers acting as the trigger.“Blessed gems, what exactly are they?”. The information Liam got on the in
