Crunch. Crunch. The footsteps outside the dumpster continued as if it was surveying the place while the alarm on the phone stopped. This was a sound enough to wake any person, yet the creature outside did not touch the dumpster or bother to even investigate. But Cristian felt like the creature was not those who mindlessly sought things without purpose. Their movement was not clumsy nor erratic. They were taking their time with each second.
Passing moments spent controlling his breath, Cristian in high stakes hide and seek has begun to feel the sweat he has accumulated even before they got into the dumpster when two minutes ago, he barely noticed anything rolling down his chin. At moments like this, he wished that he could have done better things in life, but had he spent them honestly “doing” then he wouldn’t be taking in a high-paying job with a high death risk.
This career path wasn’t something he planned but he wanted things, an

His purpose in acting in the line of fire is a condition the higher up’s and acting directors have pushed on him in exchange for a few actions he could not control but wanted to pursue.One of them is Reina’s complete involvement in Northwoods Laboratory and her exploited proposal on selling their weapons to select companies and traders.

Leaving the distaste of his own made distraught, he considers the southern human camp to be a feat possible to care for with the experience of both Abin and Ruan, Captain Fairmont’s team members that were left in the hospital to help protect the remaining humans who were not able to recover from the Secunda effects.Their tandem is not the most ideal, especially Ruan’s limited knowledge of how to medically handle the patients, but his presence was a strength that gave hope to many. Especially in those scenarios that regular humans can barely know of in terms of a profession. He was fortunately adept in caring for those in deep sleep and knowing methods how to provide care and nutrients or sustenance in the lack of waking.He also utilized several medicines and food for the people who remained and continued to reside in the hospital until Prof. Tenorio and the Primer Task Force arrived to give help. Abin and a few civilians were the only ones w

Eldric wouldn’t be aware of this, but Prof. Tenorio’s husband has a lot of things to deal with in terms of career and social relationships. Before he decided to just be a househusband, he had a career that could trump all his current cousins in terms of government position. He was appealing to people in a way that could become a light.Unlike Prof. Tenorio that could charm people by his will and drive to creatively bring ideas and thoughts into a form of the physical path to innovation, his husband brings the light forward into the path. He can do that, and he’s done it before with Prof. Tenorio and one of his projects. Yet that was not the factor he considered in marrying him.For one to guess what it was, it’s easy to say but hard to believe, that he taught him how to love a kind of love no romance could ever replace.

“How can I not be nervous, Trust we can’t have another city be destroyed,” Betts said when her frown grows deeper. “My worry doesn’t stem from just nothing, and even if we’re confident that we could do something, nothing is a guarantee. The world isn’t as luck-filled as we do, not everyone can be…”There was a twinge of hesitation inside her mind, again, not the usual doubt towards her true voice to her acceptance, not sharing it with Trust and their bodily situation, rather it’s the same kind of mental and emotional anxiety when she left the workforce. Finding out that she is unreliable and disappointing, useless or to the point of weakness in the face of distress, the kind she couldn’t control is a perfectionist speaking from her mind but nothing of it could not be contained.Once she saw the darkness, blinking lights of a gunshot, smoke, the smell of blood, and death, everything became

If Trust had eyebrows, as much as his flat-skinned burnt face looks like, he’d be quirking them as Betts described the intentions and how the actions of the stronger monster in the center of the monster group think. How much of this is guesswork, is a hundred percent, but he couldn’t imagine that there’s a purpose nor a successful way for them to confirm this intent. Yet if he looked closer at all the small monsters this creature accumulated, he’d be thinking it was hoarding for its benefit alone.However, it did not let these creatures stay around them in a way that protected them alone, rather if it focused on the areas where the monster placed them, all locations that look down. Almost in the direct way of the monster hunters yet deliberately having space to move around them. He too noticed that there were observer small monsters around the monster hunters, but unlike the other ones they’ve encountered, these observers truly watc

Guns aimed in rush at Betts the moment she finished her words, at least half of them are, the others are warily staring at her presence in a stunned silence except for one of them who held his hand signaling the others to steady their aims. He waved them down as he spoke, “can we confirm if you’re a civilian?”Betts looked at them as Trust started bashing those small fry monsters who dared attack him, her brows deepen through patience and clearly must prevail because at this point they won’t have any fighting chance besides the additional manpower the men from the task force could provide. She assessed them, all their stance were at high alert, so it would be best to move in caution before any of them exhibit a nervous tick and shoot her.“I’m a civilian,” she said in short answer, “but I’m not exactly a simple citizen.”Frowning at her words, the man continued to tell her, “then we

Dwindling numbers don’t matter if, by the end of the line, or rather near the end of it, the strongest of the pack comes to pay their respects by deliberately using a hunk of motorcycle chucked into the air, aiming at Trust. There was time for him to avoid the incoming automotive metal cannonball, but he didn’t evade or take any evasive measures, rather he made sure to take the hit by his tail and deftly reroute its trajectory.The space they’re fighting in is a hollowed-out structure just neighboring the one they previously escaped from. Since its height was small and rather below a convenience store with two floors, it became the monster’s “creature comfort” in terms of hiding things. Unlike the other stores like the one below, they are on the first floor of several tall buildings without having their own. This one, it’s got its own two floors.The front doesn’t look big or wide, but it was long reaching f

Chapter 31 Bright afternoon colors covered the poster-filled walls of Horaz’s room, again as he busily lay on top of his bed while his other self, sat reading on a chair. His ears are plugged with earphones while it played ten pop songs on repeat just to drown the noise from the outside. Hands busily scribbled on a piece of paper before he stopped to continue reading the book just beside the paper. His desk is illuminated by the light of his lamp even though the afternoon sunsets his room in an ambient mood for relaxation and nap time. One shelf stood beside this desk filled with all his hobby books and a box of socks he uses for his soccer practice. All those socks are used and never deplete since he may have bought too many to count. It’s not just his effort to buy these socks, they were partially gifted by every relative who knew he wanted to pursue playing soccer as a form of career, though as of this moment, he needs to study. Horaz, of the current time, is buck naked on the be
