“Alright boys! Let's go out there and help him clean up those fuckers! We shouldn't let him have all the fun!” Major Cutthroat roared to raise up the morale of the soldiers. He still could not believe what he was seeing. The young boy whom he thought to be a weakling was taking out the RBO soldiers faster than a super soldier. His pride was pricked and he could not wait to get into the action. The same could be said for the other soldiers as they could feel their blood boiling in excitement.
“Let's go!”
*
Meanwhile Bryan had just been surrounded by a group of three men. These men did not look like the ordinary RBO soldiers at all. They were dressed in black spandex and skull masks. They seemed like ninjas, except they had no swords.
“Who are you?" He questioned as he was a bit wary of them. The aura they were giving out was like that of a tiger. Before Bryan could ask another question, they attacked him. It was a fast and clean kick aiming for Bryan's solar plexus, Bryan easily evaded this attack with a sidestep. Once Bryan easily sidestepped, another one of the three already released a punch aiming for his head, Bryan quickly ducked but this time, the last of the three did a low sweeping kick, which Bryan could only dodge awkwardly by jumping. The coordination of the three were superb.
Tired of being on the defensive, Bryan charged forward. The three men were surprised by the sudden charge and quickly went into a defensive stance. The one in front did a forward punch, Bryan evaded by spinning his body and using the momentum from the evasive spin, he did a spinning kick, hitting the man squarely at his solar plexus. The man who was kicked flew a few meters away, fainting in the process.
Another one of the three attackers kicked Bryan as he was trying to regain his balance from doing the spinning kick. Seeing the incoming kick aiming precisely at his chin, Bryan, who was in a bad position followed the flow of the kick using his hands and did a handstand while using the opponent's leg as a platform. This move showed Bryan's amazing fighting ability. While in the handstand position, Bryan defying the laws of physics did a summersault kick aiming at the opponent's head. The opponent seeing the impending kick about to reach his head, blocked it with both arms, but even with a successful block, the kick was so strong that he fainted on the spot.
There was only one attacker left, and he was hesitant to fight against Bryan after witnessing the fall of his teammates. He stared at Bryan.
“You're not a normal soldier! Who are you?” the man questioned and Bryan was surprised that his voice sounded like that of a teenager. Still Bryan didn't dwell on this as he knew he could not let his guard down.
“I could say the same for you. You're not the typical terrorist like these Red Blood Opposition soldiers. So until you tell me who you are, then I will see if it's worth telling you about myself.” Bryan said, still in a fighting stance, ready to strike if his opponent tried to do anything funny.
“Well played kid. But know this, you just got yourself in deeper shit.”
Before Bryan could, the man threw a black colored bottle on the ground which exploded with dull boom, and then he and the other two were gone.. more like vanished.
«Ding!
Congratulations to Host on defeating two level 3 metahumans. Host has been awarded two hundred contribution points.» the familiar metallic voice sounded in his head.
Bryan looked afar off and saw his teammates returning to the battlefield. He could no longer be distracted by what the the mysterious man had just said. He bent down and took two Desert Eagle which his opponents had previously dropped. Once again a digital computerized information appeared in front of him.
«Ding!

“Alright! I will take the infinite bullet Dersert Eagle and John Wick level gunfighter level.” Bryan made his decision on the spur of the moment.
«Initializing modification in 3.. 2.. 1..»
Just then Bryan noticed a whole lot gunfighting scenes and knowledge flooded his brain, while the guns in his hands emitted a bright light.
«Ding!
Modification complete.»
Bryan smiled so wide that one will think he just got an early Christmas present.. well, he actually did.
Click!Bryan walked into the Major General's office and saluted.“Sir! You sent for me Sir!”Major General Bourne seemed to be in his late-forties, with a bald hair and a Caesar's moustache. The man gestured to the chair in front of him for Bryan to sit.“I was told by Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat of your achievement. I must say I am impressed.” the man spoke with a smile on his face. His voice was a bit identical to that of Command Sergeant Major Cutthroat, except for the ferocity part.“Thank you Sir, I was merely doing my duty.” Bryan replied with a humble expression on his face.“Oh no son, what you did is what no one else was willing to do. You chose to face more than two hundred RBO soldiers alone, just so you could make sure your teammates survived. Now that's commendable, but what got my attention is this report here made by your commanding officer.” he said while tapping on the file on his desk.“You took out a kill count of more than a hundred RBO soldiers alone. Now if
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 Alorea Nation, but also crush the enemies alon
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 Alorean 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.“G
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 saw the targer shout at him, and call him a weirdo. Everyone looked at the girl with a surprise expression on their faces, even the teacher was stunned as he heard what the girl just said.“Do you know each other Ms Maryanne?” David asked a bit confused at the sudden outburst. Maryanne regained her composure and noticed everyone's attention was directed at her, bluehed and shook hrr head.“Sorry, I guess I got the wrong person." Maryanne glared at Bryan as she once again sat on her chair, blaming Bryan for the embarrassment sbe was currently facing.“Okay, why don't you introduce yourself then.” David gestured at Bryan to make his introduction.Bryan stood in an upright position and was about to salute but stopped himself from doing so. After getting pushed away from the Houstons years ago, he had always fantasized himself of being a soldier, besides, soldiers fear no one and are respected everywhere. He graduated with good grades just to fulfil his Mom's wish and also help out
Maryanne looked at Bryan who looked back at her.“Hey, why do you keep staring at me? You do know it's creeping me out.”Bryan who heard Maryanne's question started to think as fast as he could for an answer. He could not say anything about the mission, he needed to explain why he was staring as something else.“I'm sorry I could not stop staring because of your beauty.” Bryan tried to say one of the lines he had heard from a movie once, he said this without showing anything on his face. Seeing Bryan's earnest gaze as he said she was a beauty, Maryanne couldn't help but blush.“I already know I'm a beauty but still, staring too much is not good.” Maryanne said with pride. Bryan only sighed inwardly for successfully fooling Maryanne. Just then he received an urgent message from the system.«Ding!Host will receive virtual scenes of System's origin. Host is advised to find a quiet place as Host will be in a comatose state during the procedure.»Before Maryanne could say anymore, Bryan t
Bryan returned to his seat and continued to observe Maryanne. The classmates especially the girls had changed their opinion of Bryan. At first they labelled him as a weirdo but now he was labelled as someone passionate.Maryanne couldn't be bothered by Bryan's staring at her anymore, as she was preoccupied by her own thoughts in regards to the recent events. Class started again and the same as what happened in the first three classes; the teacher comes in and notices Bryan's blatant disregard for the lesson, the teacher tries to embarrass him asking him a question above the standard of a college student, but Bryan was able to answer all questions flawlessly. This was due to the fact that he had already passed through these sect when he was still in University. In the end the teachers leave the classroom embarrassed.School ended and before people could approach Maryanne and Bryan, the two left swiftly. Maryanne was absentminded while she was walking home. Bryan on the other hand was
[2008. Alternate Earth]Rapid footsteps could be heard as a boy ran through an alley with a cake box in his hand. His black hair was dusty and sweat covered his dark skinned face. He seemed so eager to get to his destination and not even the fatigue showing on his face could deter him. He ran as he panted till he got to a small house, he stopped and knocked.“Mom! Dad! I'm back.” his small voice rang out. This boy was (is) me. My name is Mackintosh Perch, from Central Africa and my life-changing journey begins on this day, on my birthday.A joyous day in the family as it's my birthday. I had just clocked the age of nine and my Uncle came all the way from Malaysia (Africa) to celebrate my birthday. I was greatly shocked as well as exhilarated, yet although he came bearing gifts, I still had this tingling sensation that all will soon change. I couldn't explain it but I knew he didn't come all the way from Malaysia just to celebrate my birthday, either he came with good news or it's pure
