"Nothing is going to happen to him. The beasts won't go into the restaurant, I do not believe they will. Your family are survivors that is one thing I believe. You are a survivor and I will try my best to be quick so that they will not send you in until all this is done. Besides, there was an exemption on your case. They said you are going to be placed in position as the manager, remember?""With the way things are going down here, I do not think it will be considered anymore. There has been a change of plan ever since you were away. Dr Muppet didn't tell you he is now capable of being shortlisted as a candidate for the game? There is no exemption anymore. The announcement was made a few days ago." "Hmm, alright let us take that as a means of doing everything we have to do quick. Trust me, I have this believe that we are both going to find ourselves together again. Please, Isabell, let us go in. And please be with me in heart. Heart to heart, Isabell. Alright?" Ethan said fondly of p
"And why should we believe you?!" Someone screamed Madison looked at Loretta, and then at Kim but Loretta spoke immediately to support her before anyone else standing by her "You should believe her. She is telling the truth. I have seen it and I am part of the few who are not in agreement with the killing though we have to accept our fate of alignment in order not to be silenced. You know the punishment of not abiding by the rules here in the capitol hill? Ours is even worse." Lorette stressed. "And I happen to be a part of those who are not in support but I have to go by authority and play by the rules. Thanks to a survivor in the midst of it all, his name is Ethan and he is standing right here with us all. You may have heard of him or you may not have. I wish to give him the chance to tell us more about what is going on. Ethan please." Kim added and stepped back with gestures to get Ethan to speak. Ethan spoke convincingly and after he was done, almost all the members of the amit
"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
"And why should we believe you?!" Someone screamed Madison looked at Loretta, and then at Kim but Loretta spoke immediately to support her before anyone else standing by her "You should believe her.

Ethan said fondly of p
"You have to stop, Isabell, whatever you are trying to do, you just have to stop. I am not like the factions, Madison is not like...." Ethan took a deep breath and exhaled, then he said calmly as he placed his hands on her arms "Madison is not like the factions. I know you do not like hearing her name but she is not what you think she is. She is not like her father. There are a lot of them like her in the capitol hill. Many are not even aware of what is going on in D.C. United here. You should not turn your back now. Madison is not even doing any of this because she loves me or have an attraction for me. She is fighting for a greater good, which is to have the killing come to an end and I have seen it in her eyes and all over her that she is desperate to stand against her father and to bring justice to the people. I know you are doing all these because you love me and want me to be yours. But as much as she may act this way, she is not. Put yourself in her shoes and understand. She sh
Isabell raised her hand immediately in a way that made Madison clear her throat and was like "okay, who else is willing to come in with her?""I will." Arnold said lifting his hand. "No, not you Arnold. I don't need you to come now. I know why. Max, Greg? Which one of you is willing to come in?" Ethan asked thoughtfully and it was obvious that he does not want to lose Arnold as he has done his friend Parker. "I will go." Max said before Greg could. "Very well then. We have Isabell and Max." Ethan said. Ethan wanted to stop Isabell but he felt it was going to be pointless and he was not also ready for another long hour of conflict and attempts to convince her to accept his apologies. He knew Isabell to be a die hard and incapable of listening when her mind is made up in whatever she has in view, despite the fact that she was obedient to him on several occasions."Okay, that will be enough at the moment. Your assignment, you and Max will be simple. Whatever we discuss and whatever ne
Madison whispering, said to Ethan, "who is she exactly?" "She is my friend. Why?" Ethan said with a guilty stare. "C'mon Ethan, don't play around. I know what I am asking you and am sure you know as well. Tell me, are you two in any relationship because she loves you from what I see and she is jealous that I am here. This is not going to work out if we are not all focused on one thing." "It is complicated, Madison. Trust me, I can not start talking about it for now. I promise to let you know what is going on sooner. For now, just bear with me and try not to take whatever she says or does into heart. I can't lie to you that I like her a lot but I am not just sure of what to say right now. It is my fault and you can count me as one to be blamed but not her. Please, alright?" Ethan muttered quietly while glancing at Isabell who stood with arms folded at a distance watching him talk with Madison. Madison was quiet for a minute before saying "you had better figure it out. I don't want
"Alright, I will let my friends know that you are going to help us in this way. I believe it is for the best. Lysbia is going to need a balance again in society and I believe together it is going to be done by us." Ethan finished and they both continued moving. "Wow, this place exists?" Madison exclaimed when they entered Dr Muppet Puppet's room. "Yes, it does." Ethan said and kept looking around.."So many books in this library." Madison said looking very much amazed at the sight of Dr Muppet Puppet's books "Yes, it does. Don't touch anything. Dr Muppet!" Ethan instructed her and then called out with a loud voice. There seems to be no one in here. So he turned and said to Madison, "stay in this room, I will be right back." Ethan left through the front door and shut it on his way out. He first hurried to the house he bought when he was about leaving D.C united. When the taxi driver pulled in front of his house and he stepped out anticipating to see Isabell, the system spoke,Terr
Terranova: "Sir, you have reached full system capacity. Welcome back from static mood." "Static mood? Everything was blank Terranova? I was dead you mean." Terranova: "practically yes. You died but you can not die so long as I am in you. Which is why you should rather call it static mood because that is what it is from now on." "Whatever mood it is, please do not do it again. Do you know how hurt I feel in my head?" Terranova: "I can't tell, though I think it is for the best. You are only feeling dizzy I believe." "This isn't a feeling of dizziness. I know what it feels like when I am dizzy. Hello, Madison." Ethan said as he turned his neck around to see Madison standing like she's frozen. "Why are you frightened?""Excuse me? Why am I frightened?! Damn Ethan, you just came from the dead! No one does that! At least not anyone I have known except Jesus Christ. You don't expect me to be cool, do you? Damnit! I wonder what you have in your body that is performing all this. You scare
"Well I was in The laboratory not quite long ago and he walked in and spoken your manner that's made me suggest that you have given him a higher authority than myself. Why should I tell him that I am to deliver an the report of Ethan's test to you myself but still he insisted that he was the one to deliver it and with every amount of Allah creating in his gut!" Madison sputtered with raging eyes. "Well I asked him to be sure he gets it directly to me I never knew you were going to be there." "I suppose he had already told you that I was at the lab when he arrived? Didn't he?" Madison asked. "Well he never did he did not tell me anything about your presence there. And if he had done what should that matter to me? All I needed was this test here. And it appears that we might be in more trouble from what is written here about that young man. Have you looked at what the test says about Ethan Hills?" "Of course I have. And I do not think you should be threatened by it. Whatever it sugg
"He does not only show signs of an Amity he is also executing potentials of a parrhesia-dauntless. I think this guy is underestimated and he has so much potentials than anyone of Us. Do you buy enemies know who he is before now?" Kim asked with eyes on Madison. "No." She denied. And shifted her gaze from Kim to Ethan who was lying with his eyes still close. "I thought you have an idea who he is before now and if you don't why are you so interested in him?" Kim asked again. "Why should I not be interested when my father is also so much interested in him? I believe whoever my dad has his eyes on is someone worth paying attention to that is why I am here." Madison muttered as she touched Ethan's hands without even realizing she was doing it. Kim looked at her and sensed she was lying about not knowing him. "I see! You have justified yourself for being so interested in him. But forgive me to ask do you even know his name?" "Ethan. His name is Ethan Hills." Madison replied with a low
