System welcomes Host back to the present world.»Shawn still couldn't comprehend what he had just witnessed. Vengeance god Black Heart had been betrayed by his allies, he was stabbed in the back and tossed down to his death, but before that, he had sent the system to someone else; Him.“Truly there is none I can trust. Be it humans, variants and gods.” Shawn said with a stoic expression.His gaze roamed around the entire interior of the restaurant. As far as he could see, there were only ashes and dead bodies left. Only red and grey could be seen all around him. He lowered his head and noticed the robe he was wearing. It was the same one he had received in the facility. The only difference was that the mostly white robe was now covered with holes and bloodstains.Gazing at all the bodies lying all around the room, Shawn's eyes were filled with the same blank, emotionless expression. Not even an ounce of regret flashed through them as he maintained a stoic expression.Even after sweepi
Shawn left from the South exit of the town in the direction of Jacksonville Florida without looking back. He was determined to find his home even if it meant searching the whole city.He was unaware that a few minutes after he left, three helicopters infiltrated the sky, flying in from the north. The helicopters stopped near the restaurant and remained stable in the air, fifteen feet above the ground.The helicopter's doors swung open as around twenty people jumped out without any harnesses, sticking to a flawless landing. The way they did it showed that it was a daily routine for them to jump out like that. One of them stood a few steps ahead of the others, facing the restaurant. From the aura he emitted, it signified him as the leader.The man seemed to be in his late twenties. His head was full of short flaming red wavy hair that scattered around his forehead. They made him stand out amongst the crowd because of his unique colour.Wearing a long black coat on top of his black pants
Ratatatata!Zip! Poof!Gunshots rang in the air as my team and I engaged in a firefight against the Somalia militia troops. Someone must have leaked out information as it seems these guys were waiting for us, and we walked right into an ambush.“I fucken knew this will happen! Never trust the Nigerian government! Bunch of saboteurs!” Risky cursed as he swooped down beside me to dodge a bullet. I had a hunch something like this would turn up, but I didn't expect it to reach such an extent. These Somalians brought a battalion to deal with just seven people... Who the hell comes with three hundred soldiers with seven ex-soldiers?“Father! Shall we retreat!?” Erik's voice sounded via the airpod we use.“Negative! Proceed as planned. I will draw their fire, Starlet you do the same, the rest of you plant those bombs in the places we've marked.” I said and moved towards a few soldiers who were busy with setting up for the mortar attack.“I will start by taking out that mortar! you lot better
Vin Fuery's red eyes were fixed on the restaurant all the time as if he was trying to scan inside the restaurant through the concrete walls.“Let's not waste any more time. Time to get to work. We have a rogue variant to catch.” he commanded as he pushed the door before stepping inside the restaurant. The others followed suit.“Looks like we are already late.” a man mumbled. He was in his late twenties and also next in line in command after Vin Fuery.“Florence, we have to do a clean sweep of this area.” Vin Fuery said to the man who had mumbled earlier. Vin Fuery had also noticed the bodies and his eyes turned dark, followed by an unreadable expression on his face.“There seems to be no one alive in here.” Vin Fuery muttered under his breath.Sigh!He walked over to one of the bodies and examined it closely.“As expected. This is the work of a variant and a strong one at that.” Fuery said as he pointed at the man's broken ribcage.“But why would a strong variant cause such a massacre
While the ARV was focusing more on the town, keeping their entire focus on locating Shawn, Shawn was moving towards Jacksonville where his home was.He had awakened the power of Wind that he received from his mother. This power allowed a person to be able to do many things, but for now, Shawn was only able to use it to run like the wind. His entire body felt as light as a feather as he sprinted through the woods. Shawn knew that the people who awakened the power of wind were even able to fly, but that was only possible if their abilities were at the same level as his mother. His mother was the only elemental wind sorceress who could utilize the complete power of wind and fly. Other awakened ones could fly, but they all had different magic than her. Not a single person was able to fly after getting the power of Wind except for his mother since her power of the wind was A-rank. Unfortunately, her power of wind was overshadowed by her power of Decay which was an S-rank ability. Most peop
The dark-haired man's eyes fell on Shawn. Shawn was dressed in a long coat which seemed somewhat funny as the coat was a tad too big for him. It's like wearing grandpa's clothes.“Hey Joker! Come here!” the man called out to Shawn. Fortunately for him, Shawn ignored his words and kept on walking. He had no reason to patronize this bully.As the dark-haired man saw that Shawn had ignored him, his anger boiled inside of him. He lost control of his words which was going to be his biggest regret soon.“You! Little bastard! I'm talking to you! Listen to me you son of a bit-” he had not even finished his sentence when a black lightning bolted his skull, creating a sizzling hole in between his brows. His body dropped to the ground right away as he died. But it was not enough for Shawn. What the man had said was intolerable! He had dared talk bad about Shawn's mother, which was his red line.«Havoc point 1 obtained»Shawn ran towards the dead man who was lying dead on the ground. His skull wa
He once again aimed his gun at Shawn's head before he started firing. One after another, all the bullets were emptied inside Shawn. Marlon did not stop this time until his gun was empty. Unfortunately for him, Shawn still did not fall. Not only that; but the way Shawn was taking the bullets so easily made Marlon feel he was in a nightmare where the Devil had taken the shape of a teenager to scare them.“Why don't you just die!?” Marlon roared as he threw the gun towards Shawn. Shawn waved his hand gently, tossing the gun aside without letting it hit him.Marlon felt like he was going crazy. He started running towards Shawn as he punched out. Since guns were useless, he was going to let his hands do the job to knock Shawn out. His bad luck did not leave him this time either, as his hand was caught easily.Shawn caught the fist of Marlon which was coming to his face.“Why do you squirm and resist? Gladly accept your fate and be punished for your sins.” Shawn said with a stoic expression
Shawn had only taken a few steps when his stomach started growling. He had run out of food some time ago already. Moreover, using his abilities had made him hungry again. In his hunger, he decided to find something to eat. It was a house, so he had a feeling that there must be things to eat.He stepped inside the kitchen, where surprisingly, he found rubber gloves lying on top of a fridge. He touched the rubber gloves to test something. A smile appeared on Shawn's face as he realized that these were decaying slowly. They did decay as well, but their speed was much slower.He instantly wore the gloves before he opened the fridge. He could see that the fridge was mostly empty. There was a bottle of water along with a few apples that were inside the fruit basket in the refrigerator. He picked up the water bottle and drank a mouthful of water before he picked the fruits. He started eating the fruits and only left after finishing them all. His hunger was somewhat satiated, which made him f
