Grayson[FEW YEARS AGO]The soldiers formed a wide circle so as to create a stage of some sort. Bryan walked to the middle of the makeshift stage and waited for his opponent while he scanned the faces of the Delta Squad.“Private Grayson! You have been selected by your superior to duel the members of the Delta Squad! Failure to win in the duel will earn you a court-martial for insubordination! If you are not confident in fighting, I suggest you get your sorry ass out from there now! Do you wish to proceed!?” Lieutenant Colonel Durke said with contempt and authority. In his mind, he could already see Bryan cowering away from the fighting stage. Unfortunately Bryan was not only confident he will win, but also he didn't just plan on fighting one at a time.Bryan glance at Lieutenant Colonel Durke and smiled“Affirmative!” Bryan said, then he turned to Major Cutthroat and saluted.“Private Grayson reporting for duty! Sir! I pledge to uphold not only the honor of the United States of Americ
The girl stood up and glared at Bryan. She was a beautiful girl with long black hair that was tied into two messy low pigtails. She had a fringe just above her blue eyes, her body was fair and slim. She seemed to be exuding an almost haughty aura.“Hey! Why the hell did you throw me!?” the girl asked Bryan in an irritated tone.Bryan who had once stood on the battlefield and defeated level 3 metahumans, fought six strong soldiers without a tinge of worry on his face, was now very much worried. He didn't know what to say in a situation such as this, he didn't even know how to have a dialogue with people as he's always been excommunicated from almost everyone who came across him. Now he has to talk this girl whom he already wronged? Besides, this was not just an ordinary girl, she's the only daughter of the Secretary of Defense! This is a great headache.'I can't believe I'm going to fail my very first covert mission. I have to do something.'“Sorry Ma'am, for throwing you. It was an ac
Bryan came over to Major Cutthroat's office. The Major General had received an order from the Secretary of Defense to send someone capable to guard his daughter while he goes on a campaign trip with the US president. He instantly thought of the new rising star; Private Grayson. After briefing Major Cutthroat of this vital matter, it was now up to Major Cutthroat to brief Bryan of the upcoming mission and how important it was.“Sir! You sent for me Sir!” Bryan saluted as soon as he stepped into the office.“Have a seat Private.” Major Cutthroat said in a gentle tone.“Thank you Sir.” Bryan responded in a respectful way and sat down.“Private Grayson. I will get straight to the point. We have just received a mission from the Secretary of Defense himself! He requested that we send someone to guard his daughter; Maryanne. Are you up for the job!?”“Affirmative! Sir!”When Bryan heard the word 'Mission' from his commanding officer, he started to shift gears into his mission mode.“Good!
Silverado University, Silverado City, Astarlian Nation.Loveth Jude sat alone in the bustling cafeteria, sipping her coffee and staring at her phone. She was lost in thought, her mind wandering to her mundane life in the city.She had grown up in this city and it was practically her second hometown. Her parents were from Lorea, a city where werewolves and vampires battled for supremacy. Her father had been next in line to be Alpha, but due to him being married to a human, his position was shaky, and so in order to live a peaceful life, her parents brought her to the small city of Silverado. Loveth was a half-breed, and the bad news was that her human side took the major part of her gene, even other werewolves won't notice she's one, and to make matters worse, she couldn't shapeshift into a wolf. So her parents believed that Silverado was the best place for her. But life in Silverado had been boring. No friends, no neighbors, and no boyfriends.. not like she had ever fallen in love or h
Loveth walked through the front door, a smile still plastered on her face. Her parents looked up from their evening routine, surprised by her unusual demeanor."Hey, sweetie! How was your day?" her mother asked, setting aside her book.Loveth twirled into the room, her backpack bouncing behind her. "It was amazing, Mom! I can't even begin to tell you."Her father raised an eyebrow."Try us."Loveth giggled, taking a seat at the dinner table."Okay, so I was sitting in the cafeteria, and I met this guy...and we talked for hours. It was like we knew each other forever!"Her mother's eyes lit up."That sounds wonderful! What's his name?"Loveth hesitated, not wanting to reveal too much."Uh, it's not important. The point is, we had an amazing conversation, and I feel like I've found someone who really gets me."Her father exchanged a skeptical glance with her mother."That's great, Loveth, but you're not exactly the most...social person. What's gotten into you?"Loveth shrugged, trying t

Maximus emerged from his hiding spot, his eyes fixed intently on Golden."Golden, what's going on? What are these Everlong gates the Oracle spoke of?"Golden's expression turned grave, his eyes clouding with concern."Maximus, the Everlong gates are a portal to unknown dimensions. It's guarded by two huge obsidian black gates, and the beings in these dimensions... they're far more powerful than us."Maximus's brow furrowed, his mind racing with questions."Unknown dimensions? What do you mean? And why are these beings so powerful?"Golden hesitated, as if choosing his words carefully."The dimensions beyond the Everlong gates are realms of immense energy and magic. The beings that inhabit them are ancient and wise, with powers beyond our understanding."Maximus's eyes widened, his imagination running wild with the possibilities."And Marcus wants to open this portal? Why? What could he possibly gain from unleashing such power?"Golden's voice dropped to a whisper, his words laced with
Loveth's mind wandered as she stared blankly at the chalkboard, her thoughts consumed by Maximus and their mysterious connection. She didn't even notice when Mr. Johnson, her math teacher, called her name."Loveth, can you please come to the board and solve this problem?" Mr. Johnson asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.Loveth's face flushed as she made her way to the board, her heart racing with anxiety. She had no idea what the problem was, but she hoped it wasn't something too difficult.Mr. Johnson wrote the problem on the board:"Solve for x: 3x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0"Loveth's eyes widened as she stared at the equation. It looked like something from a higher-level math class, not something they had covered in their curriculum. But as she stood there, a strange feeling of calm washed over her, and she began to write on the board."First, we can factor the left-hand side of the equation: 3x^2 + 5x - 2 = (3x + 1)(x - 2) = 0"The class gasped in unison as Loveth continued, her handwritin
