Hila made a call through an encrypted line.“Boss, the situation has stabilized.”“Is the brainwashing complete?” the man's voice was hoarse.“I oversaw the procedure. There was no issue. What arrangements do you have for Zero?” Hila asked.“The Valkyrie experiment's aim is to train soldiers, so train him.” the man replied a bit irritated.“How is my sister doing?”“Don't forget the deal.” the man warned.“I gave you permission to visit her once every two months. Don't cross the line.”Hila clenched her fists when she heard this. Then there was a click and she knew the call had been disconnected by the man.*The interior of the underground Valkyrie lab was almost entirely white. Guards constantly patrolled the grounds. After a night's rest, Drake was brought to an isolated training field where Hila awaited.While he was not too sure of what arrangements the organization had for him, he was certain that they would value his 'learning ability', meaning he would definitely get the chanc
One day, a number of armored guards came to the tuning room to move a large portion of Drake's resources away. As Drake watched them quietly, a person walked up to him.“You have let the organization down. From today onward, your resources will be cut by eighty percent.” the person who spoke to Drake was test subject number 'One'.“I heard that you're my predecessor. With so many resources, is all you can make garbage like this? You are a failure, and I have been chosen to replace you.”For some reason, the sight of Drake irked number One. Drake remained silent.The organization prioritized results. Since Drake was not giving them results, he was stripped of his privileges. They planned to devote their resources to grooming the more promising no One.As the research lab did not have any maintenance personnel for machinery, Drake still got to keep the tuning room for himself. He was now assigned to perform maintenance and repairs.“Tsk tsk, sad rats.”A few guards who saw the pair bega
Drake knew who the white haired girl was. She was none other than Hila's younger sister, Aurora. While the sisters both possessed superhuman abilities, their abilities were of two extremes.Aurora's blood possessed mysterious healing properties that could extend life or even bring back the dead. She had been brainwashed, and was now being controlled by the Germinal Organization. Not only were they taking advantage of her powers, they were also using her as leverage to make Hila do their bidding.Hila only cared for one person, and that was Aurora. The girl war between the six countries and the Germinal Organization reached a climax at the conclusion of Version 1.0. As a last resort, the Germinal Organization used Aurora's flesh and blood to create an endless supply of miracle drugs that won them the war. Hila, who had been at the front lines at the time, only learnt of what had happened a few months later. Losing her sister tore her apart, and the Germinal Organization took advantage
The Valkyrie lab was hidden underneath an abandoned farm situated within an extremely large forest. The farm itself was enclosed by a tall electrical fence.A Black Harrier helicopter descended on the abandoned farm. Six fully equipped agents dressed in black emerged from the aircraft.“I am the captain of Night Owl Squad three, Silver Blade. I've come under orders to transport the Valkyrie Squad.” introduced the stone faced captain.“Stop wasting my time.” replied an irritated Hila as she fixed her tousled hair.“There are vehicles in the hanger, I will take the helicopter.” she added.Number One, who had been chosen to lead the Valkyrie squad, stepped forward.“Test subject number One greets officer!” he greeted with a military salute.“Follow us.”“Yes Sir!”As Hila hopped on the helicopter, she frowned.“Strange.. it feels like I've forgotten something.*Machinery tuning room.Drake was almost done with crafting the Lightweight Mechanical Arm. It had proven harder to craft than e
'Well this is awkward. Should I just pretend like nothing happened and step out?' wondered Drake.Drake did not have anything in particular against any group of people. He respected people's hobbies and interests. These two before him were simply two lonely hearts who might have fallen in love with each other but had no place to release their pent up carnal desire for each other.Although Drake's mind was filled with such thoughts, his body was quick to act. Reversing his grip on his knife. He rushed forward to attack the closer guard.. the female. The guard was unable to react in time, and as she fumbled to draw her gun, Drake went for the kill. Unfortunately, the second guard kicked her to safety. Drake's surprise attack had failed, but he was not disheartened. Twirling his knife in his hand, he switched back to a standard grip and stabbed the second guard in his abdomen, followed by striking his neck with his free hand. The guard collapsed to the ground.. lifeless.«Ding!Overwhelm

There was a grotesque battle happening in front of a cliff. Maximus hid himself among the small trees and bushes and observed the scene in front of him.Two groups in a battle to the death, one appeared to be normal merchants & their bodyguards while the other being a group of bandits.
