"Ah, shit..."Jansen walked backwards with a dumbfounded expression on his face. His entire body froze watching the figure of a man staring at him intently. The form of the man beside him was human, but Jansen saw that both his hands were covered in sleeves. Jansen already felt an uncomfortable feeling. His mind pictured the half-human parasitic monster in Mr. Frank's room a few hours ago. "No one is allowed to wander around during the late hours of the night. Rules are rules," said the stranger beside Jansen. The stranger's tone implied a small growl. Although his gaze was intense, there was still a calmness to it. "I didn't do anything. I just accidentally saw this room," Jansen replied awkwardly. "Go away. Don't let me forcibly evict you," the man retorted threateningly. Jansen did not move immediately. He held his hands low as he watched the man in front of him from the ground up. At that moment Jansen's curiosity was somehow drawn to the two arms of the man in front of h
"Jansen, are you okay?" Jansen was still trying to calm himself down after the fight that happened a few moments ago. While on his right side, there was a male nurse treating a wide cut on his right shoulder. Jansen was now in a special treatment room in the organization's training center building. Actually, Jansen was still quite shocked because he was facing another type of human monster. Jansen also didn't expect that The Strong People group would trap him. "Ah, I guess you're not okay," said Matthew who immediately sighed heavily after realizing the wide slash wound on his right shoulder. "Hey, why did you come here?" asked Ryann in a sarcastic tone. "You're from The Strong People group. Doesn't your group feel superior to us?" Matthew turned an exasperated gaze towards Ryann. Although he was actually annoyed, he couldn't argue with Ryann's words. What Jansen experienced was indeed true due to the actions of the members of The Strong People group. "Don't be like that to Ma
"Hey, why are you suspecting me?" Jansen said with a chuckle. Trying to create an atmosphere that wasn't awkward. Matthew, Ryann, and Joseph were still watching Jansen curiously. As if they wanted to find out whether Jansen was lying or not. "Matthew, you met me in the tunnel. You know best that I couldn't possibly know Mr. Frank, when we come from different neighborhoods," Jansen said later, trying to be convincing. "I don't even know where you're from, Jansen," Matthew retorted. His hands were already folded in front of his chest. Jansen let out an exasperated sigh after hearing Matthew's words. "But if you think about it logically, Mr. Frank is very busy taking care of the organization and the training base. Besides, his age is so different from mine, how do we know each other?" Jansen asked. "Alright, let's stop this conversation. If anyone overhears us talking about Mr. Frank and there's a misunderstanding, we could get punished," Joseph retorted. Seeing Joseph's very cau
"What are you looking for, Richard?" asked Jansen as he watched Richard tracing one book after another with his index finger. Richard was still mumbling and smiling as he watched his index finger move through the books one by one. His face looked very serious as if he was thinking about something. "You know, Jansen, I've actually read about the history of the Parasitic Creature Eradication Organization," Richard replied. Jansen frowned with a surprised expression. When he heard Richard's answer, there was a slight sense of concern that arose. But he pretended not to think anything of it. "So, what did you find?" asked Jansen. Richard's gaze shifted to Jansen. A smile that implied a curved meaning. "Very interesting. I didn't expect that the person who started this organization had disappeared for so many years," Richard said. The direction of Richard's conversation was predictable to Jansen. The nervousness Jansen felt increased slightly, making him feel uncomfortable. M
[WARNING! SYSTEM DETECTS DANGER!] [VIRUS MONSTERS ARE WITHIN YOUR IMMEDIATE RANGE RADIUS!]Jansen closed his eyes after reading the system notification that appeared. Amidst the silence in the room, the sound of footsteps being dragged echoed. All of his goosebumps were already bristling. By now, Jansen and Richard were hiding in the gap between two tall bookshelves on opposite sides. Richard was in the bookcase gap on Jansen's left side. While in the middle of them, there was a path that was enough for three people to pass through. A few moments ago, Jansen and Richard were in a hurry to find a bookshelf that had a small gap in the room. In this room, there were indeed a number of bookshelves - which were so big - that had a small space. Luckily, Jansen and Richard were near the corner of the room. 'GRRR...' Jansen's breath caught even more at the sound of the growling that was slowly approaching. It was certain that the parasitic monster that came was in a close radius to his
Jansen adjusted his breathing while balancing his body. He still felt claustrophobic from the lack of oxygen as he was strangled by the parasitic half-human monster. [SYSTEM RECOVERING!] [20%][47%] [66%][80%][99%] [SUCCESS! WOUND RECOVERY IN PROGRESS...]Frank was astonished to see the thick bruise on Jansen's neck fading rapidly. "Why is the wound on your neck healing?" Frank asked with astonishment. Jansen was holding his own neck. He didn't even notice that the wounds from the half-human monster's hands were fading. He only felt the sensation of suffocation and tightness diminishing rapidly. "This..."Before Jansen could answer Frank, he heard the sound of the room door opening. Jansen turned his gaze and saw three guard-humans running in a hurry because they looked panicked.Meanwhile, Matthew followed behind the three guard-humans. "Jansen! Are you okay?" Matthew asked with a bit of a shout. Jansen was still dumbfounded where he stood. He really didn't know what to s
[ALERT! NEW MISSION!] [Get the virus vaccine in the laboratory room and treat the T-Agyss Monster in the monster incubator room tube. Kill the T-Agyss Monster to get the liquid, mix it into fresh water, then drink] [REWARD] [Strength Immunity +300] [Health Point +1000] [Unlocked Skill: Hunting Ingenuity] After reading the new notification from the system, Jansen let out a rough breath. He had just been able to rest his entire body after the fight with the half-human monster in the common book room. "Why is it so tiring?" muttered Jansen as he looked up and let out a long breath. "JANSEN!" Jansen's body jumped at the sound of the room door being violently kicked in. Jansen then saw Matthew, Joseph, and Ryann running quickly towards him. Their faces showed concern. "Hey, I heard rumors that you and Richard were fighting with half-human monsters again," Ryann said very seriously with a sharp look in her eyes. Jansen immediately frowned and looked at his three friends in surpr
"Why are you suddenly looking suspiciously at Richard, Jansen?" Matthew asked as he walked hand in hand with Jansen. Jansen was somewhat taken aback by Matthew's question. Ever since learning about Richard from Matthew, Joseph, and Ryann, Jansen couldn't stop thinking about the answer to his confused thoughts. When he realized Matthew's gaze implied astonishment, Jansen was a bit awkward. Jansen averted his eyes from Matthew in order to cover up his awkwardness. "I don't feel suspicion, I just feel strange," Jansen replied a little stiffly. He tried to restrain himself from saying everything outright. Matthew immediately frowned and tilted his head slightly. He noticed Jansen's gesture as if he was hiding something. "Can't you be specific?" Matthew asked. Jansen looked back at Matthew again. He gave a brief smile and shook his head. "It's nothing really serious. It's just that the last few days I keep running into Richard, whether by chance or not," Jansen explained. Matth
