“You’re here” Cross muttered.“Why wouldn’t I be here?” I asked in fake confusion.“I mean there you are, I was just dropping by to ask if you’ve seen my watch, it got missing as soon as we separated so I was wondering if you saw it anywhere?” Cross asked indirectly implying something.“Oh I don…” Before I could end my words, a knock sounded followed by a soldier’s entry into the room where he politely greeted us before saluting Cross, then proceeded to whisper something in his ears, he ended then handed something over to Cross who paused in shock at the watch being handed to him.“Okay thank you” Cross said to the soldier with a nod before turning to us, “Okay seems like I might have misplaced it, sorry for the disturbance, you must be tired, I’ll leave you guys to rest now, see you tomorrow, good night”After apologizing and bidding us goodnight, Cross then left leaving Tiffany and I alone.“Where did you go?” She asked with a frown.“I was in the restroom” I replied while inconspic
The Kitsune were very tricky and mischievous, they were also known for their love for chaos, wherever it went chaos ensued but they were also known for their wisdom, their most preferred form is that of a fox and they usually take the form of a woman.Based on her side of the story, there would most likely be a kitsune involved in the background, the clues all matched, and the kitsune loved creating problems indirectly.This meant that the Kitsune had probably influenced the events from the sideline, but who could it be?‘Well I guess we’ll deal with that later, for now, we’ll focus on the main thing itself’ I had to find out what plan the government was cooking up, I would get to the bottom of things.‘Huh? What’s happening’ I suddenly paused and thought to myself, my head started spinning.“Are you okay?” Cross asked with a frown.“Yeah, my head just…I guess the news must have subconsciously hit me hard” I replied and took a deep breath before bringing a smile to my face.Even thoug
“Yes the monkey, Cross told me about your encounter with it, what did you think of it?” Mr Greg asked me, his question making me think back to my run-in with the monkey.What did I realize about it?“Well for starters, it seemed intelligent and sure acted like it knew what it was doing, when I met it, I intentionally avoided a clash with it so I don’t really know how strong it is” I replied after some thought, I decided against lying since it held no value in this situation.“Hmm, that was a smart move because I don’t think that even with your abilities, you would be able to win in a one-one battle against it” Mr Greg sighed and placed his cup down before walking toward me.“It will be dangerous and I won’t force you but will you help us capture the monkey?” He placed his hand on my shoulder and looked me straight in the eye.“SIGH, I guess I will” I said with a sigh, my eyes darting to the sharks subconsciously, even now I still held this man in high regard and couldn’t dare to lie t
“He’s out cold, he needs immediate help” The doctor reported with a serious expression on his face, his fingers checking the unconscious Jim’s neck for a pulse.“Take him away” Mr Greg said to Aiden who called over a group of soldiers who lifted Jim and followed behind the doctor, right before he left, Aiden glanced at me and I could see the fleeting look of fear on his face.Inwardly I could understand why, I had just knocked out one of the strongest in the base with a single punch, this clearly demonstrated my power, although I had intended to hide my full strength, what was done was done, there was no need to delve on the matter, I had more important things to do.At the forefront of my current predicaments was the question of the appearance of the abyss spirit, this completely threw me off and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t shocked.From my scarcely obtained memories, I could see some vague mentions of the abyss spirit, it was said to be a creature of immortal darkness, they
“What just happened?” I asked myself in doubt while staring at the huge hole in Sasha 2’s upper body.“Did I do that?” Sasha glanced at the gun and then back at Sasha 2 who was slowly generating.“….” I couldn’t reply because I also didn’t know what just happened, I was just as shocked if not more shocked than her, I was still fumbling to find an explanation in my mind when Sasha turned to me in shock.“My class just unlocked” Sasha said to me in shock.“What the f*** is going on here?” I asked myself with an incredulous look on my face, I couldn’t bring myself to accept what I was hearing, I had to fight and almost get myself killed before I unlocked my class, but all she had to do was fire one bullet and her class was unlocked, what sort of crazy and fucked up situation was this.“What is your class?” I asked after calming myself.“How Do you check it out?” She asked awkwardly.I facepalmed in my mind after just finding out that she didn’t even know how to use the system, was she li
“What connection did that guy have with Crixes” I asked myself while stabilizing my breath, I always prayed that I shouldn’t have to go through that same experience again, this was because it made me feel so weak.After calming myself down, I decided that whatever it was, I would keep my eyes peeled, seeming as if there were so many secrets being kept under wraps from me, I would slowly peel away the binds that enclosed all the secrets and find whatever they were trying to hide, but I needed to take it one step at a time.This new experience reminded me of my need to get stronger, and now the best option was to train, now that I had a training partner, I knew that my speed of progression would increase.Since there were three days left before we would head out to hunt the Mutant, I decided to use all m time for preparations. So for the whole of the three days, I made up a routine.I would always be found cooped up in my room, undergoing training with the system or training with Sasha,
“That sounded really close, we have to get to him fast” Aiden said as we rushed toward where we had heard Major Kevin’s scream.As we arrived at the scene, Major Frank who was at the front paused and immediately went on guard as we followed suit, examining our surroundings carefully.“Cover me, I’m going in” He said to us, signaling for us to scan the surrounding for any sign of the enemy.Major Frank rushed to the body and bent down close to it before examining it cautiously, when he was done, he looked up but spotted nothing, it seems like whatever had done this had gone into hiding.“He’s dead” Major Frank sighed and got up, this allowed us to also move over and check the body.“It’s the same method of killing as that of the bat” I said after inspecting Major Kevin’s headless body, it was like his head had been sliced off and chewed like gum because I could see brain matter mixed with flesh on the ground.“He’s really dead” Aiden said with a look of shock.“How long has it been sin
“What the hell was that?” Aiden asked in fright after storming into the attic, he and Major Frank had heard the gunshots and had rushed here at once.“That was the thing that killed Kevin and I think you already knew that didn’t you?” I replied then turned to Major Frank who frowned at my question, his eyes squinted at the sight of the roof, instead of replying to the question posed to him, he walked to Cross and swiped some of the goo on his shoulder and then stared at it deeply before sighing.“Let’s go” Major Frank said calmly then walked toward the exit of the attic.“Hey I asked you a question ‘Captain’, I’ve put up with your bullshit for long enough, you better start talking before I make you, what is really going on and what was that thing just now?” I asked with anger while grabbing his arm.“Do you have a death wish? I said let’s go” Major Frank glanced at me with rage in his eyes.“Let me just make this clear to you, I don’t take orders from you, I’ve endured your crap for s
