2024-10-29 19:42:56Beep!! Beep!! Clark woke up to hear the familiar alarm ringtone of his phone. “It’s 6:00 am already. Man, I didn’t get enough sleep,” he grumbled as he quickly got up, brushed his teeth, and had his bath.
Fifteen minutes later, he is ready in his new military cadet uniform which was provided yesterday. With his daggers and sword both also ready, he left his room feeling surprised as Leo always woke up before him.
“What happened to this guy now?” he questioned himself again in a contemplative tone. “This piece of shit,” he cursed as he quickly went out, reaching the opposite room in less than 10 seconds.
Bam! Bam! Bam! He banged his friend's door as he called out, “plant, what the hell are you still doing?”
“Hey!! Clark, stop banging my door I woke up late. I’m almost there, I’m coming,” Leo yelled in reply.
“I said it; when the sun, rises normal people respond fast to the stimulus by getting up. But you, a typical plant respond slowly. What a bad influence you are, be fast man,” he urged his friend with an impatient tone.
Thud! Thud! Thud! He finally heard the sound of Leo running. His friend quickly reached the door, opening it without wasting time. “Hey Clark,” Leo greeted.
“Good morning weed, let’s go before it’s late,” Clark greeted back naturally, as his expression morphed back to its normal outlook.
“Clark, who did you just call a weed?” Leo fired back, feigning anger as his expression darkened.
“Oh, it’s the guy behind you, not you bro”.
Leo turned around to look, seeing no one he bellowed "I'm going to kill you one day Clark”.
“Chill man, let’s go, remaining only ten minutes,” Clark said with a smile, ignoring his friend’s fuming face as they both left.
In the parade ground, all the cadets stood orderly as they silently waited for the arrival of their Captain. Captain Spoky finally came with his entourage of soldiers, as they all saluted.
“Good morning Captain,” they greeted.
“Good morning kids,” Captain Spoky replied with a smile planted on his face. “I hope you all enjoyed yourself because your second training will follow the regular routine”.
“Group yourself in batches of two, because you are all going to the Zeigra branch of the Spartan exobiologist forest reserve. I advise you to group with your best friend. You need it because it will save you, as you are both expected to watch each other’s backs”.
“Those without best friends here, I can only sympathize with you".
"All of you who survived the first training, will all receive ten marks out of the total 360 marks. I know you’ve all been informed that the best of this batch of cadets will receive the legendary stealth armor. Though it’s of the lowest quality, it is still more valuable than anything you currently have”.
“All you are required to do is to help your teammate, so you both can kill as many exobeasts as you can. I know you all know about exobeasts from your learning years. But cadets, a piece of advice”.
“These are completely different beasts entirely from the regular augmented ones. These are beasts that are heavily modified to move faster, bite harder, and also have high intelligence for a beast”.
“To you, they are stepping stones to your graduation. But don’t get complacent, because to them you are all just free food delivered to be devoured”.
“The total points for this training are 150 points, try to kill as much as you can".
"The government provided a pair of automatic rapid laser fire pistols to each cadet for this training, so you won’t have to worry about bullets. And they also provided one sniper rifle for each group of two, so you’ll have to decide among yourselves who is to get the sniper rifle”.
“You already know your sergeant, Sergeant Modric. He will be your escort to the forest reserve. The one thing you kids are lucky for is that the government provided the fighter warship, THE MEGALODON for this training”.
“I’m even envious of you guys this time. When I was your age, something like this was still just like stuff of legends to me”.
“Cherish your chance and luck, as even some veteran soldiers have not seen a ship like the Megalodon in their many years of service. Good luck kids, I hope I can still see your faces after a month’s time. Dismissed”.
The cadets walked orderly but excitedly to the clearing where the ship was docked. They had a dozen reasons to be excited, as the Megalodon is a warship at a very high level in Spartan technology. It is the best ship in the southern protectorate of the Spartan republic.
All the cadets here in south Sparta can recognize the shiny massive ship immediately on sight. Since they were small, they’ve heard the legends of the Megalodon. Of how it whipped the Moca republic military’s ass several times, during small- and large-scale battles.
It is a warship with near supersonic speed. It has heavy firepower with its installed war weapons and very resilient armor. The perfect word to summarize its description is just…, BADASSISM.
“Clark, the government is being very generous by providing us with this ship,” Leo commented as they walked.
“Yeah Leo, I’m so lucky to be a part of this batch of cadets. I can brag about this for the rest of my life man,” Clark said excitedly.
They quickly arrived under the airborne warship, as it lowered its strong steel ropes to the ground. They climbed each rope individually, as they quickly scaled up to the ship. The hatch opened, allowing them entry into the massive warship.
Sergeant Modric was already waiting for them inside, so they immediately saluted on seeing him. He nodded at them as he proceeded to bring them inside.
Inside the ship was very luxurious, painting the scenery in a very beautiful light. They looked around curiously, as the sergeant showed them to their seats.
Clark was enchanted completely by the beauty of the warship, even his sergeant’s next words became fleeting clouds to him as his eyes sparkled in admiration.
The Megalodon is a very massive warship. It has a disc shape, just like the fictional spaceships depicted in novels and fiction movies if viewed from outside. The inside was lit up completely with blue lights, illuminating everywhere with a bright glow.
The cadets finally sat down and belted up, as they continued admiring the warship’s interior.
After seating, the sergeant addressed them, “Cadets, be prepared. A group will drop down on each stop, and each individual group will be separated from the other groups”.
“The ship is being controlled by an A.I [artificial intelligence]. According to its estimates, 20 minutes later the first group will be dropped and the rest will be dropped subsequently at 5 minutes intervals”.
“I wish you good luck. Try your best and most of all, try not to get killed,” Sergeant Modric said without much emotion in his voice.
Clark clenched his fist in anticipation, as he still focused on his goal of being the best in this training.

Some minutes later, both friends were finally dropped in a mountainous region. As soon as they landed, Clark observed their surroundings as he slowly nodded in satisfaction.“I prefer this man. At least, I can see far and have more obstacles to take cover,” he told his friend, who was also observing the area.“Clark, I want us to come out on top, this competition. Let’s find a place to camp, as our defensive fortress before advancing”. Leo said in a soft tone, as he turned to look at his friend.Clark simply grunted in reply, as they quickly found a cliff with enough cover to keep them from the prying eyes of the exobeasts. They dropped their bags, prepared, and went outside to set up a defensive perimeter. Clark decided to naturally wield the sniper, as he was better than his friend in marksma

Leo woke up and glanced around, “where am I?” He asked while trying to stand up, which brought a wave of dizziness to him. This cleared up his brain a bit as he touched his head. He felt the itch from the cloth bandage, before recalling what happened.He sighed; “it’s already evening, I wonder where Clark went to". He soliloquized while glancing outside.During the construction of their make-shift residence, they both placed the rocks together to form something like a cave before all that happened- the exobeast encounter. He finally went outside to find his friend by a lump of fire-eating roasted meat. “Ah!! Bro, you’ve woken up, how’s your head?” Clark asked casually as he munched on his meat. “Clark...,

Leonard Bane woke up to see the golden sun rays shining down on him, from the corners of the cave. He admired the rays a bit as his eyes cleared before he looked at his shadow reflection.“Oh, it’s 8:00 am already. Why didn’t this piece of shit wake me up?” He cursed as he quickly got up, going outside the cave. There he saw Clark, diligent as always, doing push-ups.“Diligent my ass, this guy only did his push-ups daily to keep his 6 packs, to impress girls. F**k,” he couldn’t help but curse again, as the scene left a bad taste in his mouth.“Oh, Leo you’re already awake. "I thought you’ll sleep like a log of dead wood for the rest of the day. Good morning plant.” Clark finally greeted his friend properly after his regular exchange of insult greeting.“Clark, my head injury is healed, don’t try me. If you call me a plant again, I swear I'll skin you alive,” Leo retorted w

Due to it being stretched very thin, the makeshift rope snapped in 2 with just one laser beam.BOOM!!! His hard work was finally put to use, as the handmade spears quickly sprang up. It was just an imitation, so the spears didn’t have enough force to shoot off from the ground like the ones used by the Spartan army. But this was just the right force to inflict enough damage to the big cat. It seems like the panther sensed the danger, as it tried altering its jump trajectory but it was already too late. The spears ruthlessly impaled its exposed belly, it growled in rage and pain as its bowels and blood freely flowed out.Due to the force and momentum from the panther’s moving speed, the spears conveniently cut it from where it impaled on its belly to its leg as one of the spears got stuck in its leg bone.Still re

Clark woke up the next day feeling great. He dreamt of food during the night, the type that turns heads. He saw himself as an emperor as his maidservants served him lots of fruits, meats, snacks, and beverages.After waking up, he was disappointed as he didn’t see any luxurious palace, no maidservants, but the now-familiar handmade small rocky cave he made with his friend. “Oh man, my life’s a complete disappointment,” he thought in resignation. "I wish I could be an emperor forever.” Most of his dreams always feel kind of blurry when he wakes up, but he still remembers the most essential parts. Since he was small, that was how he always had dreams on intervals. You know, sometime

The 2 cadets journeyed for hours, as they intended to leave this mountainous region entirely. They tried to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible, as they possibly can’t account for all the dangers in this region. They did not want to engage any beast horde now, exobeasts were their main focus.They rested sometimes on the way, as they conveniently ate from the meat, they packed on their bags to regain their energy. “Shit, man I didn’t know this rocky territory was this large. It’s evening already, and we are yet to sight another terrain”, Leo grumbled in frustration.Clark chuckled at the way his friend grumbled, but he also felt helpless. “I hope that we leave this area soon”, he muttered.

Too late? Maybe…, the exobeast charged towards Leo, fully displaying its enhanced speed. As he ran, flashbacks quickly emerged in his head, as he recalled information about the rage phenomenon.Information is power, if you have information about your opponent, you are halfway to defeating him.The rage phenomenon is a state an exobeast enters after it gets agitated and angered to an extent. After this transformation, it receives a special surge of adrenaline. Which leads to a great increase in its strength, lethality, aggression, and a lot of other attributes.This phenomenon causes it to possess a special strength, in the form of pressure. The area around it produces great pressure which affects enemies psychologically. This hardly occurs, as it requires a lot of conditions to be met before it is activated. The pressure e

Even though they both suppressed the exobeast, the ape was still a bonafide tank tyrant as its injuries accumulated extremely slowly. The fight turned into a battle of endurance, as they both killed all the primate's subordinates but it still fought aggressively. The ape sometimes pulled unexpected maneuvers, but they scaled through, persevering and adapting due to their increased battle experience.Clark never felt this good in a battle. During the battle, as he continued exchanging blows with the exobeast, he felt like this is what he should be doing. It felt absurd and stupid, but he felt that this was his calling.“I was born to fight, to dominate and bring glory to my country”, he muttered in excitement as his inner battle spirit took over.His current mood is similar to when you are doing somet

After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes

In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur.

While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<

The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
