THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Do We Failed?
The hospital corridor smelled of bleach and something far less clean — desperation.It clung to the cracked linoleum floors, the scuffed walls, the faded plastic chairs bolted to the floor.Thenma sat hunched forward on one of those chairs, his elbows on his knees, staring at the floor as if the answers he needed might somehow crawl out of the tile grout. His jacket was still damp from the rain outside, the cold seeping through the thin fabric, but he barely noticed.Across from him, Laura Finch lay motionless on the hospital bed behind the glass partition.IV lines tethered her to machines that beeped in slow, measured rhythm, like a clock counting down seconds she couldn’t afford to lose.She was awake now — but barely.Her eyes flickered open and closed in exhausted intervals. She hadn’t spoken since he arrived; just the occasional faint movement of her brow, a silent acknowledgment that she recognized him.Thenma scrubbed his hands through his hair, tension knotting every muscle i
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Don't Trust The Clock
Rain hammered the streets of Blostom as if trying to wash the city clean — but nothing could cleanse what lurked in the alleys and shadows.Thenma stood at the edge of the hospital’s deserted parking structure, staring out into the wet night.His jacket clung damply to his frame, the bloodstains blending with rainwater until they were indistinguishable.[Reve: Optimal Route to Central Terminal Calculated. Risk Assessment: 81% Hostile Encounter Probability.]Thenma ignored the warning.He already knew it wasn’t going to be easy.Nothing worth surviving ever was.A faint buzz rattled in his ear — the commlink connecting him to Collin."You sure about this, boss?" Collin’s voice crackled over the line."You're walking into a setup. You know that, right?""I don’t have a choice," Thenma muttered, sliding a fresh magazine into his sidearm and checking the safety. "Joey's alive. Or someone wants us to think he is."Silence.Then, quieter:"Katarina wants to come."Thenma’s hand froze mid-ch
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Blackout
Darkness swallowed the tunnel with suffocating finality.The faint hum of the emergency lights died into an oppressive silence, so heavy that for a moment, Thenma could hear nothing but his own heartbeat hammering against his ribs.He rose slowly, weapon raised, every sense straining.Behind him, Joey let out a low, agonized groan and slumped further down the wall.Thenma didn’t dare turn on a flashlight. He knew better — light would only paint a target on their backs. Whoever killed the power had known exactly what they were doing, and it wasn’t random.This was a hunt.And they were the prey.A faint scuffling echoed from somewhere deeper down the tunnel, too distant to locate, yet close enough to tighten the knot in Thenma’s chest.[Reve: Emergency Pathfinding Activated. Generating New Escape Route.]A thin line of projected light flickered on Thenma’s inner lens — Reve's interface — mapping a crude path through the maintenance corridors.

The minutes dragged like leaden weights in the frozen dark, each second hammering against Thenma’s nerves.The silence around them felt unnatural — too still, too hollow — as if the East Yard itself had been emptied of life, leaving only the scent of rust and death behind.Beside him, Joey Douglas slipped further into unconsciousness. His breaths were shallow now, rattling like broken glass in his chest. Blood darkened the torn fabric at his ribs, stark against the pale glint of streetlight slicing through the gaps between containers.[Reve: Immediate stabilization required. Risk of organ failure at 73%.]"Hold on," Thenma muttered under his breath, wiping a slick of cold sweat from his brow. His mind raced.Collin was fast, but even he couldn’t perform miracles if they were pinned down before extraction.They needed to move — or disappear.The blinking fragment of Lily's image burned in the corner of his vision.It wasn’t just random.It was a message.Or a warning.Thenma gritted hi
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Mercy
The safehouse walls, once solid and reassuring in their industrial bleakness, now seemed paper-thin as the wail of sirens grew louder, sharper, splitting the night air into shreds of dread.Each second ticked like a hammer inside Thenma's skull.Collin ripped the flash drive from the terminal and tossed it toward Thenma, who caught it with instinctive precision. Without a word, he shoved it into the inner pocket of his jacket, pressing it close to his chest like a talisman — or a timebomb."They must've been tracing the second Joey uploaded these files," Collin said, breathless, wiping his hands on his jeans as he paced back toward the main door. "Goddamn amateurs. They set the alarms off the moment they opened the drive.""Doesn't matter now," Thenma snapped. His eyes darted to the high, grimy windows above. "We need to move."[Reve: Hostiles estimated within 90 meters. Multiple vehicles. Two, possibly three squads.]The system’s emotionless voice cut through the chaos, threading int
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Not Afraid
Atop the Highlife Tower, where the city lights dulled into a distant, worthless smear against the smoked glass, Edward Montgomery stood at the head of a polished mahogany table, his reflection warped and twisted across its surface. The conference room was silent but for the faint hum of machinery hidden in the walls — state-of-the-art security, bulletproof windows, a fortress disguised as opulence.The men seated around him were not businessmen. Not truly. They wore suits, yes, and silk ties, and watches that cost more than a middle-class salary, but beneath the fabric, they were wolves. Predators with polished smiles and bloodstained hands.Edward let the silence stretch, savoring the discomfort it bred.Fear was a useful seasoning. It made men pliable.Finally, he spoke, voice calm, measured — almost amused."Joey Douglas..." He drew out the name as if tasting it, savoring the bitterness. "A minor inconvenience, but one that required addressing."A murmur rippled through the room, n
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM No Time To Die
The city peeled away behind them in a blur of dying neon and fractured asphalt. Thenma gripped the passenger side door as Collin wrestled the battered sedan through a sharp turn, tires screeching in protest. Reve’s map flickered across Thenma’s phone, the signal weakening with every heartbeat, a desperate thread of hope unraveling into static."You sure this is right?" Collin asked without glancing away from the road, his jaw set with grim focus.Thenma didn’t answer immediately. His eyes scanned the data, piecing together the broken coordinates, the erratic timestamps. Every instinct he had screamed that they were cutting it dangerously close — that Joey was slipping further beyond reach with each mile they lost."I’m sure enough," he said finally, voice clipped.Collin exhaled through his teeth, muttering under his breath. "God help us."The industrial district sprawled before them like a graveyard. Hollowed factories and abandoned shipping yards sprawled in every direction, shadows
THE GREATEST REVENGER SYSTEM Play The Fire
The shot echoed, a singular sound that seemed to stretch through the air, freezing everything in its wake. Thenma’s heart skipped a beat as the world seemed to slow, the darkness of the night thickening around them. Time itself held its breath.Edward Montgomery’s expression remained unchanged. He stood there, too still for comfort, his hands resting casually in his pockets. But his eyes — they were cold, calculating, predatory. He knew exactly what was happening, and in some sick way, he was enjoying it. The corners of his mouth curled into that same thin smile, one that had become far too familiar.Thenma’s instincts were razor-sharp, his mind already calculating his next move. But the hesitation lingered. The shot had come from somewhere — from a direction he hadn’t expected. It had been too quick, too precise, and too clean.“Who—?” Thenma began, his voice tight, but the words died in his throat as he scanned the scene. His eyes darted to Collin, who stood just a few steps behind,

Total Chaos
The drive to Anony was a blur, the city lights outside the car window nothing more than streaks of yellow and red as Collin sped through the streets. Thenma sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his mind racing. Every second that ticked by brought them closer to a destination that seemed more like a trap than a safe haven. He had a nagging feeling that something far more insidious than what they had already faced was waiting for them in Anony, but what? And why was it that every time they made progress, a new door opened, revealing more danger, more secrets?“Hold on,” Collin muttered under his breath as they hit a sharp turn, tires screeching as the car leaned into the curve. “You still sure about this?”“Yeah,” Thenma replied, his voice steady, though his gut churned with unease. “We have to know what happened at the Highlife apartment. It’s all connected.”Collin didn’t respond. The tension between them hung in the air, thick and oppressive. They had been thr
