"Wait, what! I thought they spent so much time in there? My friend Parker is not that selfish not to open it. Give me space let me see for myself." Arnold grunted with so much anger and gave the touch light to Isabel before putting his hands on the door. He pushed and pushed and when Peter saw he was not giving up, Peter joined him not because he believed it was going to open but because he felt his own friend, Perry did not die in vain and that he actually saw Perry lift his hand as a sign to let him know that something must have been done before he died in the arena. It took three more forceful push as Peter had his hands in support of Arnold's for the door to break open and the moment it did, all of them started laughing and chuckling with tears of joy rolling down their eyes as they saw blood stains on the other side when the door was opened. They needed no one to tell them that it was the blood spills from either Parker or Perry — must have been Parker's blood because Perry was
"Ahhhhhh! [Agonizing cries of pain]" ...the claws of biosynthetic beasts pierced through the hearts and joints of the populace as they fled into hiding. [Greenway, East of Washington descends into panic] ...people vanishing without a trace, leaving behind only fragments of torn clothing and pools of blood.Earth's terrain has become a wasteland after a planetesimals fall which ruined the entire nation, leaving only a remnant untouched, no other than Lysbia. Lysbia is now a world split into two groups following the planetory disruption which introduced the emergence of people who awakened with special powers, distinguishing them from the populace. Within Lysbia, a capitol hill was built to inhabit the factions composed of those who passed the awakening process. Meanwhile, outside the confines of the capitol hill which dwelt the populace, Ethan Hills dragged his feet wearily, each step heavy with reluctance, as he approached the two story building where he had only a one room apartme
Ethan became frantic, his mind drifted to think he was becoming insane and with surmises of one who is dreaming and needs to wake up, his inquisitiveness drove him mad the more, "What task exactly are you talking about and I think you should leave me alone right now, I'm already having a bad week, you adding a death sentence to it is making it worse! Gosh! I need to wake up, I feel this isn't real." Ethan stormed not minding the fact that his voice was going to disturb the neighborhood. He grabbed his head and stepped backwards to sit on his bed frustratingly.KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! "Ethan, open up. Is everything okay? Are you alright?" Sissy asked audibly as she knocked on his door and waited for a response from him. Ethan sighed his frustrations out, "I'm fine Sissy, what time is it?" He asked still seated on his bed. "It's 8:27 a.m. Ethan. Come on, open up. Don't tell me you are fine because we all heard your voice out loud and you also repeated having a bad time like you did last
It all appeared in a blue transparent screen before his eyes, outwardly. He could see it all and at the same time, view his external environment as at when it all popped up. Nothing that was shown to Ethan was of interest to him except his financial status, which prompted him to ask, "Is there anything about me you do not know, Terra? For crying out loud, that's my bank account balance right there. F*ck this system is real. Tell me, Terra, what do I do to have more cash? Bring up the task already!" Ethan exclaimed with an inaudible rattling voice and a shrugging gesture feeling impatient already. Ding!!! ...Task list opens...)- Steal a diamond necklace from the auction holding in San Diago hub at 9:30 a.m. today without being caught. - Kill Mr. Stankovic with just one bullet and leave with a brown briefcase in his golden locker, room 32 pyramid castle, and leave without a fight. ...Dong! Task list closes..) "No way! I don't steal and there's no way I am killing anybody." Ethan w
"Wow wow wow! Is that real? Is this a joke?" Ethan exclaimed partly excited, partly jittered, losing his composure the moment he saw the funds which was actually what he checked before the UI of Interactive blue transparent displayed screen vanished. Terranova: "you earned it, Ethan. And please comport yourself, you're beginning to draw attention." Ethan looked around and observed a good number of people chattering and staring right at him, he quickly waved at an incoming taxi and at the same time, took out his cellphone and checked his bank account balance to be sure. "Yes! O my gosh!" Ethan exclaimed enthusiastically clenching the fist of his left hand to express how happy he was as he entered the taxi. "Where to? Dickhead." The taxi driver asked after waiting and wondering why he wouldn't tell him his destination a couple of minutes after he had entered his taxi. "Deer Creek Diner, please." Ethan said not minding the name the guy just called him. At this point, nothing could c
Ethan's eyes dilated and his heart throbbed as he thought of his two friends whilst she was talking."...there is no need for you to go in and you should be thinking of joining us in gathering the crop produce from all six districts, Ethan. At least you are going to stand a chance of feeding more better than the others here because you are working for the government. Besides my mom is part of the governing body of Lysbia, we therefore have immunity, though not because she is a parrhesia-dauntless but that we are playing a major role in the food business." She gasped after she was done talking, believing she has convinced him enough with such detailed explanation. "What about the little children they promised to take into the capitol hill should they be able to pass the awakening process? Or are you trying to tell me that the test they promised they were going to run in D.C. united was all a lie?" He asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Look, Ethan, believe it or not, but then, wh
"Ethan! Nooooo!!!" From afar, Sissy's voice pierced the air with agony, even as the surrounding darkness deepened with each passing minute. Everyone's eyes remained fixed on Ethan, undeterred by the fading light because they could not believe he could even do what he did prior to when he fell. Whilst the beast was still shaking itself, the system rebooted within seconds,[Initializing repair mood][Troubleshooting...] Ethan's flesh closed up immediately and the injury faded in a way that it was as though he never had even a scratch, though bloodstains from previous injury remained. [Destructive sequence activated] [Becoming malevolent] Ethan got up immediately with a ferocious speed coupled with furiousness, and went and grabbed the tail of the biosynthetic killer beast even as it kept struggling to be free from Ethan's grip to no avail. With lightning-fast agility and an intense determination, Ethan sprang to his feet, being ferocious and furious, he swiftly seized the tail of t
"W-What!!! No... There's no way I'm going to talk her into coming with me and you brought this stankovich guy thing up before and I said No! Why are you bringing it up again, I told you I'm not killing anybody." Ethan protested quite vociferously. Terranova: "I'm sorry, Ethan, but you must do it. You must trust the system." "Trust you? Trust the system when it's trying to murder someone and have me be a party to it? No way!" Ethan stuttered and got up from his bed expressing how fed up he was with the task list that was displayed before his very eyes. "Terranova: "Ethan, you have to get on with one of them and your time to select what task to go with is counting down. Remember, any task you skip will keep resurfacing. Choose wisely." Frustrated, Ethan rubbed his forehead and whispered, "Then there's no point in asking me to choose! This feels like cheating. You said I would have the freedom to decide my own actions..." His words trailed off inaudibly, expressing his discontent.T
