I guess that the Tars are smarter and faster than us. The instruction was that five mercenary spies had crossed our border and we were supposed to capture them, but that was an ambush, about twenty men were shooting at us. We had weapons but how could we reach for our weapons when these people were shooting at us and all we were trying to do was to get ourselves safe first. I guess they must have thoroughly thought out the whole thing because they had shot me in my neck, I heard the sound before I felt the bullet. It was small, like a tiny meteorite that had been blown into bits, but it was more painful than anything anybody would have ever thought it would feel like. They were doing all these and my stupid system, had sounded like my eighteen years old self. I had asked it to activate shield and it was counting down, how insane. They had taken us for sure, because I was waking up. “You're awake." I heard Core say. His voice felt spiteful. I open

The maze is so big that it stretches far and wide, to the point that I can't see the ending. And we're in the middle. "Can you ask your system if it has a way to get out of the maze?. " Core asks and I ask my system.(No map is available) the system said." Well, do you have a drone we could use to scan and the find the way?. " ( One drone is available for use now) The screen popped up against and then I saw it, a black drone. Luckily I didn't have to throw this one for it to get bigger, I just had to control it. It was easier because I have one of these back at home. The drone scans the whole maze and it returns back with footage of the whole thing, we used it as a Map tracking the opening from the beginning to the point where we are. “Funny how there's no body here but we heard voices." Teddy said. We busted out of the maze and finally we got out to the open. “Where's the edge of this world?." I asked.“We go west." Core said pointing and walki

They're invisible bodies holding my neck, hitting me on the ground, lifting me up in the air and then hitting me back again. The concept of fighting invisible creature make me want to laugh out loud even when the pain is exploding and all I want to do is to scream and laugh at the same time. I could barely breathe, I held at my throat, trying to break the grip from my neck. I'm scrambling for air and I look down, I see Core's dagger. I reach for it and I pick it up, just then the invisible body lifted me off the ground, I stabbed it where I guessed would be the next, I stabbed and stabbed, I was shocked because I was really stabbing a body, the dagger in my hand is disappearing when it's entering into the being. It let's go off me and I fall on the dark redish soil hitting my head on my way. I yelped, then I felt the body crashing down on me, I had successfully killed one. How many others were they?.I don't know. But Core said they were ghosts, you can't ki

I wake up In a big room, not metal, this was a normal bedroom. I groan because my neck is throbbing painfully with every heart beat, the metal bandage is gone from my neck. I see a movement with my peripheral vision and I see a maid, sitting down in a big chair.“Hey." I said to her. “What time is it?." I asked but she just stared at me as if I spoke a foreign language. I turn away from her and look around the room, it looks oddly familiar. I turn back to the maid, she has big Brown innocent eyes.“Am I in Von?." I ask her and she nods. Then she stands and hurries out of the room. I sit up, I'm wearing my normal black clothes. I hear the door opening, I look up half expecting to see the snobbish maid but I see King Cypher standing in my door. I stand up “King Cypher..." I said.“Hans, I'm glad you're awake, how do you feel?." He asks me.“Fine." I tell him.“We're having a royal supper and I'm inviting you to come and dine with us." He says.“It'll

Diane's POV I could be killed for treason, for trying to expose my father's cruelty. Nobody would be able to save me, not even the fact that I'm the princess of Von, I'll be killed for treason. But I'd rather try to fight for the innocent people of Tar and be caught than to do nothing at all. I would be beheaded if I get caught, so I'd rather not get caught. I see Hans walking into the ball room and I'm nervous. What would happen after I tell him, what would his reaction be, would he believe me or not, would he let me show him his original memories. I turn around the room to see Jax staring at me, his eyes were cold and he's frowning at me. I'm sure he saw me looking at Hans. I smile at him and he returns the smile back, thank goodness, he turns away. I turn back to look at Hans, i'm gripping the chip and I'm hoping it wouldn't break the way I'm holding it tightly. Estelle, Hans' team mate is talking to him. Now he's holding her hand and leading her

Jax's POV I could not even believe what had happened. I kicked the chair in the rooms so hard I had sent it flying, it hit something and i hear it shatter. I was so angry... I should have shot Hans then. I tried to quiet my rage but it was impossible, after seeing Diane kiss Hans so passionately.... She would have never kissed me like that, even if went on my knees and crossed from one edge of Von to the other, she wouldn't kiss me. I have been trying to get her attention for years and now Hans arrived and she's interested in him... I knew he was bad news, somehow I knew that I should have kept Diane away from him but it was impossible, the only thing I can do now is to find a way to separate them. What should I do, I started to think.If I tell King Cypher that I had seen Hans kissing another girl, after he had kissed Diane, then he'll be angry and make sure that Hans dosen't come anywhere close to his daughter.“He's a cheat, a liar and a scandalous man." I

We all arrive back to Von, I stepped out of the portal and I closed it. All the soliders that were injured were taken by medics to the hospital. I look around, finally, Hans' reign is over. I feel more fulfilled than I had ever felt in my entire twenty four years of living. If I wanted to convince anybody that I am sad about that rich bastard's death, I had to look like I am sympathetic, I have to wipe this smile away from my face. I don't even wait to change clothes, I'd rather go this way, spilled with blood as if I'm running mad from the terror that I had just witnessed, now my acting skills have to be revived. I climb into my ranger that I had earlier parked in the garage of rhe building and I drive to King Cypher's palace. The distance of the palace from the central is a long one and I'm very exhausted when I finally reach. “King Cypher!." I said running into the throne room, “Your majesty, I have news, bad news." I say to King Cypher." What is it?." Ki

I started to feel weird as if something was following me. I turned around but I saw nothing, then I felt hands on the steering wheel, turning it, I tried to fight to gain back control because I could triple over and have an accident, but these hands were strong. I shouted in frustration and fear, knowing fully what is happening, it's the invisible bodies again. I stopped the car, and it unbuckled my seat belt, I didn't know how many they were until another started to pull me violently out of the car, I guess that they were two or more. But not one. I couldn't see them but I could feel their breaths, a screeching weasely sound, as if a person was trying to breath but their lungs stopped working because it was blocked by mucus. The sound of their breathing was gruesome and menacing. I was being pulled on the ground by my right foot, I reached for my sword and they knew I was reaching for my sword because they kicked it from my hand and they started to pull my sword fr
