Talon stood in awe as he surveyed the extraordinary equipment before him, unlike anything he had ever encountered during his time at the Nexus Lab.

Talon saw a man in a large tank filled with water, and submerged within was a man with a muscular physique. The man effortlessly lifted dumbbells that were suspended within the water, their resistance amplified by the liquid medium. Talon marveled at the combination of strength and control required to perform such feats.

As his gaze shifted, he couldn't believe his eyes. A treadmill floated in mid-air, defying gravity, while a powerfully built individual ran upon it. The treadmill itself generated flames beneath the runner's feet, creating a fire trail. Just ahead, another man held a shield, skillfully blocking the intense flames as he steadily advanced. The flame was quite intense.

His attention was then drawn to a room enclosed by transparent glass walls. Inside, a person stood amidst a hail of bullets

    Talon, still standing, was momentarily stunned by her words. "Just a mistake, and you want to make it a big deal? I don't understand you. Besides, I don't fight with ladies," he retorted with a hint of defiance."Oh! I guess…the gentleman here is really a coward," she lashed out, her gaze piercing the onlookers, all fixated on Talon.~Wow! The Golden Queen has just challenged an unknown individual… Will he accept or go away, making the statement she said true?~The audience, including Medin and Arthur, stared at Talon in disbelief, shocked that someone had dared to provoke the formidable Golden Queen.

    Talon stood on the fighting podium, clad in his customary black leather combat outfit and combat boots. Meanwhile, the Golden Queen was putting on a complete golden crop top that exposed her belly button, along with golden shorts that reached halfway above her knees. Talon noticed her curvaceous hips and pointed features on her chest, but he remained indifferent, devoid of any emotions.During Talon's training at the Nexus Lab, one of the lessons was to avoid easily succumbing to allure from the opposite gender. Therefore, it was rare for anyone to entice Talon with seductive attire. The only person who had managed to capture his heart was the girl he had saved five years ago.From Talon's vantage point, he observed the sizable audience present at the Fighting Arena. He had never been in the presence of such a large crowd before. ~Now, the long-awaited fight begins. We are about to witness the epic battle between StormBlade and the Golden Queen~

    The impact of the punch sent shockwaves through the Golden Queen's body, causing her to instinctively clutch her chest and take a few steps back, her breath momentarily stolen away.*Wooooooh!* The crowd erupted in astonishment~Unbelievable! The Golden Queen, a formidable force in the Fighting Arena, had never experienced such a blow, especially from a mere +EE-Class Ranker~Talon then materialized on the fighting podium, a distance away from the momentarily stunned Queen, he took a bow, as he playfully said,"I apologize, my lady. Please don't lay the blame on my poor Shadow duplicates. I've consistently cautioned them against being preverts, but be rest assured, they will be appropriately disciplined after this fight," Talon conveyed with a bow. "However, make sure to properly cover yourself before engaging in battle with men. While I may lack interest, others might not share the same sentiment," Talon chuckled as his gaze humorously fixed on

    Talon, consumed by an overwhelming fury, gazed upon the defenseless girl sprawled on the floor. To his astonishment, the face of the girl he had saved years ago replaced that of the Golden Queen. The delicate features of his former savior took the place of the majestic Golden mask she had worn.Hovering in midair, Talon prepared to unleash his most powerful attack, but he suddenly hesitated. A moment of clarity washed over him, revealing that anger had taken control of his actions. His daggers crackled with concentrated Arcane Energy, swelling like a spirit of a mighty dragon. However, he swiftly retracted the energy back into his body, choosing not to harm his vulnerable opponent.The dragon-like energy that had formed around his daggers dissipated, returning within him as he skillfully rolled along the ground, narrowly evading the Golden Queen's advance. Rising to his feet, he turned his back to her, but a surge of pain overwhelmed him, causing him to cough up bl

    Talon, now standing a few steps away from the pool. He collected his towel on a nearby rack and wrapped it around his body. Then he glanced back at the once crystal-clear pool, but it was now transformed into a murky abyss, black as raw graphite. "I think I'll have to call customer services to clean this up," Talon remarked. Putting the pool incident behind him, he made his way towards his bedroom.In a swift motion, Talon retrieved a set of clothes from his personal space and swiftly dressed himself. Now fully clothed, he proceeded to his egg-shaped bed, where he assumed a seated position with his legs crossed. "Nolat!

    Talon, previously positioned near the elevator in the dining hall, eager to retreat to his room, found himself abruptly halted by the unexpected obstruction of Danny and Laura in his path."Kneel, bow your head to the ground, and beg for mercy," proclaimed Laura's boyfriend, Danny, strategically blocking Talon's path with an air of authority."Danny! He wouldn't just kneel and beg for mercy; he would also compensate for the bag," Laura interjected, escalating the tension with her added stipulation, injecting an extra layer of complexity into the confrontation."You people always think you can take advantage of someone who is poor. Too bad I'm not!" Talon confidently smiled, his with a mysterious assurance as he locked his eyes with his adversaries."Me? Go down on my knees and beg for mercy," Talon theatrically emphasized, punctuating his words with a dramatic thump to his chest."Besides, how much is your bag worth?" Talon inquired, casting a

    Talon grabbed her waist, unable to contain himself as he tore her clothes with speed.He began to devour her body, kissing her neck. "You've gained some curves while I was away," Talon said, noting how Gwen had indeed filled out more than before. The change had only enhanced her figure, making her shape more seductive than ever."Don't you like it?" Gwen moaned softly as Talon explored the rest of her body."Why wouldn't I love your fuller curves?" Talon smiled as he grabbed her bottom and squeezed firmly."Mmh! Bad boy," Gwen moaned as she felt the pressure from his hands, finding pleasure in the sensation."Why don't you explore there too?" Gwen said in a soft tone."Of course," Talon replied, gripping her waist and lifting her up, positioning her immediately."I'll show you what it means to explore," Talon said, fully aroused.Talon hadn't actually seen her body in such detail before - their last encounter had been while he was barely conscious, and he couldn't remember much of wha

    Can't Hold Back The Urge

    “And I tried to save her by using my body to wedge her,” Talon concluded the story of how he first met Gwen a decade ago. David had already fallen asleep by now.Talon still held onto Gwen’s hands as David had requested.However, noticing that David was now asleep, Gwen quietly removed her hands. She hadn’t yet forgiven Talon and was still upset.Angry and flustered, Gwen attempted to leave the room. It was already late at night.Talon felt a bit sad, but decided to give her more time. Just as Gwen was about to leave, David stirred and called out to them, his voice groggy.“Dad! Mom! Are you guys quarreling again?” David’s drowsy eyes slowly opened.Gwen, who was halfway out of the room, stopped in her tracks.“Of course not, my darling. Why would we do such a thing?” Gwen quickly returned to Talon’s side and held his hand again.“Look, you see? Our hands are still together,” Gwen said as she raised their joined hands for David to see.Standing behind her, Talon felt a small flicker o

    Trying To Earn Her Forgiveness

    Gwen shed tears, unable to fully process what Talon was saying. A part of her wanted to believe him, but the years of pain, the countless nights mourning his supposed death, made it impossible for her to accept his words so easily. The reasonable explanation he offered made her angry further—how could something so plausible feel so impossible to believe?“Talon, you died a long time ago in my life,” Gwen finally said. She turned abruptly and left the place without looking back.“Gwen!”“Gwen!”Her father and Nate called after her, but she didn’t stop or respond.Talon stood frozen, his head bowed in sorrow. He knew reconciliation wouldn’t be easy, but he had to try. “I know she’s hurt... but I can’t give up now,” he murmured to himself. Back home, Gwen stormed through the door, slamming it shut. Little David, who was playing with his toys on the floor, looked up in excitement.“Mummy! Daddy’s back! Hurray! I thought he was gone forever, but now he’s here! Mummy, I want to see Dad!” D

    Talon’s boots hit the ground as he descended the ramp of the SSS-Class Apex craft. Behind him, six members of his crew followed, their postures alert and disciplined. The quiet hum of the landing pad was soon overtaken by murmurs and whispers from those gathered at the edge of the docking area.Gwen’s heart thudded painfully in her chest as she clutched her son, David, tighter. Her legs wavered between taking a step forward or retreating into the safety of her home.“Talon?” she whispered to herself, disbelief clouding her face.Nate, standing nearby, watched Gwen's reaction cautiously but turned his gaze to the mysterious man stepping forward. His well-kept military stance, the crew flanking him in perfect formation, and the way the guards at the Safe Zone hesitated to approach spoke volumes. This wasn’t just anyone—it was someone important.Gregg Landon furrowed his brows, recognizing the badge clipped onto Talon’s jacket, one he hadn’t seen in years. “That badge… but that’s…” He le

    A few hours earlier...[System Core unstable] [Craft probability of crash: 80%] Talon and several others on the craft heard the announcement made by AVA, and they were all surprised."I thought I had corrected the issues previously. What's the problem now?" Talon didn’t quite understand what was going on.Salvador was in the workshop, the special area in the craft designated for repairs. Hearing the feedback from AVA, he wanted to run a diagnosis to get the full details of the issue.He raised his hands to activate the holographic projection of their craft on the table in his workshop—Apex, as it was named.He began to zoom in and dismantle some parts of the craft, identifying a section that was beaming red. Then he saw that one of their thrusters was damaged."Problem identified!"

    The Reunion

    **Safe Zone**Inside a room that resembled a military meeting room, there was a projector displaying a graphical representation. Inside stood a girl with bright, long red hair as she put on military gear, accompanied by about five others."What else do we need?" Gwen asked as she looked at the tablet handed to her by one of the men in the room."Miss Gwen, I think there is a shortage in our food supply. If this continues, there will be an uproar here in the Safe Zone," the man said, staring at the graphical projection on the wall."If we don't do anything about this, in a few weeks we could all die from starvation," he continued, explaining in detail."The only solution is to send a request for food from the neighboring camp, Vanguard," he referenced.Upon hearing that name, Gwen felt a surge of anger; it was the territory of her father, whom she had resented for years. He had always disapproved of her relationship with Talon and never blessed it before Talon was gone."We have been l

    As they flew through clear skies, their was nothing much going on. "There was a time at the academy" Salvador recounted the events of their academy days with Talon, to the extent that Talon felt embrassed a bit. “i can remember the very day he saw Gwen!” Salvador laughed, slapping his knee.Talon was a bit sober hearing that name.“Sal, if I may ask...Have you heard from Gwen?Before Salvador could reply, a sharp alarm blared.

Demonic signatures confirmed.]The crew hearing this sprang into action, their relaxed demeanor vanishing instantly.“Where are they coming from?” Talon demanded.[Three o’clock, closing fast]Talon’s hands flew over the controls, turning the craft into a defensive position.

    "Yeah, I was about to tell you, but—" Gwen immediately cut him short as she stated, "Cool! You wanted to leave just like that. I should've known that you aren't any different from him." Gwen finally let out as she attempted to leave, going out the door without even waiting for Talon to clarify things.Talon ran after her, holding her right arm. "No, it's not like that. Where I'm going is not a place I can bring you guys along. I didn't know how to explain it to you, but I promise that you will be safe with Master Feng. He will take proper care of you. You don't need to worry about me; I will be fine. And I promise that I won't stay that long," Talon tried to explain.Talon was unaware that Gwen had begun to develop feelings for him gradually. It might sound strange, but she had always liked one person—Talon. However, it wasn't this Talon, so her developing feelings for his doppelgänger was a bit strange."Leave me alone.

    I Must Learn From Master Feng

    Master Feng stood firm, staring down at Talon, who lay on the ground, weakened by the backlash from the transcendence energy. Talon, though physically drained, was in shock. It wasn't just the energy's backlash that startled him—he couldn't believe Master Feng had somehow accessed his Astral Plane. The realization hit him hard. “H-how did you...?” Talon stammered, struggling to find the words. He couldn't fathom how it had happened. Master Feng's was furious as he addressed Talon's reckless actions. “Why would you be so foolish as to attempt such a dangerous experiment? Do you not realize the disaster you could have unleashed if the energies from your Astral Plane had spilled into the real world?” He paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing. “Do you even understand the power of what you were trying to manipulate? You would have killed yourself—and endangered everyone around you.” Talon lowered his head, staring at his bloodstained hands, filled with regret. He had been warned by No
