"It's time for your daily routine," a man in a blue security guard uniform approached Talon, interrupting his sleep. Talon quickly snapped awake, alert to the man's presence.The guard wielded a gun with electric shocking cuffs, swiftly aiming it at Talon's hands and binding them together. Talon felt the restraints tighten, but he remained composed. The guard stepped closer, pushing Talon from behind and barking orders."Move it!" the guard commanded, attempting to assert his dominance over Talon.Talon instinctively took a step back, his intense gaze sending a slight shiver down the guard's spine. Sensing the guard's fear, Talon smiled and turned his attention forward, knowing he had already established his own authority.Reluctantly, Talon proceeded down the hallway, nudged along by the Warden's electric baton. Each contact with the baton sent jolts of electricity through his body, testing his endurance. Despite the shocks, Talon behaved like he wasn't feeling any pain as he made h
Talon stood in the dark room, gazing at the baby in Gwen's arms. Suddenly, she called out to him, urging him to come closer."Come... Talon! The child needs you," Gwen said to Talon, leaving him completely shocked. It felt as though she was truly there. Talon tilted his head, questioning the reality of the situation."No, it can't be her... This can't be real," Talon muttered to himself, trying to shake off the feeling that it was all just a fantasy. But the experience felt too genuine. Talon cautiously approached and touched Gwen's hands, confirming their reality.In an instant, the dark room transformed into a beautiful green meadow with vibrant grass and flowers. Gwen's figure remained in front of him, unchanged."What's happening? I thought I was in a dark room just now," Talon wondered aloud, closing and opening his eyes only to find himself still in the meadow.He walked towards Gwen and saw the baby clearly in her arms. Overwhelmed, he took a step back, struggling to accept the
Five years later...Talon sat in solitude within the confines of his room, which had become his only companion. Since the events that transpired half a decade ago, Talon had severed all communication, even with Gwen herself.Talon possessed the wisdom to understand that if he resisted their demands, they would exploit Gwen and her son as leverage against him. To protect them, he feigned submission, allowing them to manipulate and torment him relentlessly for five long years.Gwen's child had come into the world and was now approximately four years old. However, due to Talon's pretense of madness, Gwen refrained from bringing the child into his presence. Despite the resemblance he bore to her husband, Talon was still a stranger to them. However, the reason the four principals exploited him went beyond their personal gain. Talon had come to realize that his doppelganger, who ruled Earth Prime, had caused numerous conflicts and provoked anger among various factions. The principals were
Talon, Gwen, and David found themselves in a forest environment, surrounded by towering trees that reached up to the sky. Talon, still carrying David, was surprised by the sudden change of scenery.[The Portal Rift has closed successfully!][We have arrived at Earth Central][Would you like to merge Earth Central individuals with Earth Prime?]"Yes," Talon replied.[Merging processing... 10%... 20%... 100%][Merging complete!][Gwen and David are now considered Earth Central inhabitants]Meanwhile, Gwen wasn't aware of Talon's actions, she ran towards him and hit him on the shoulder, demanding answers. "What did you do? Where are we? Take me back!" she shouted, attempting to confront Talon.Talon, holding onto little David, gently grabbed Gwen's hands to stop her from hitting him. "Hey, chill! Don't worry, you're safe now. We are on Earth Central. You should be happy that I rescued you from that prison-like environment," Talon explained.Gwen felt a mix of happiness and sadness. Desp
Out of nowhere, a relentless barrage of attacks materialized, filling the air with fireballs, arrows, swords, and an array of deadly weapons. The projectiles swirled around them, creating a chaotic and dangerous dance.Reacting swiftly, Gwen rushed to take hold of David, a surge of maternal instinct guiding her actions. In a brilliant display, a golden glow enveloped her as a staff materialized in her hands, forming a protective barrier for her childIn an instant, Talon's hands gracefully rotated through the air, halting the entire assault mid-flight. The enemy threats that had launched the attacks found themselves frozen in place, unable to move or continue their onslaught.A wicked smirk played upon Talon's lips as he reveled in his knowledge of the hidden threats that had yet to reveal themselves. The demons, realizing their opponent was no match for them, yearned to escape. However, they were rendered powerless, frozen like statues."You all believe you can challenge me and walk a
All the demons present moved in unison, interrupting Talon before he could finish speaking. Talon's inner smile widened; the unexpected was about to unfold.As the first laser beam sliced through the air towards him, Little David snug against his chest, Talon smoothly evaded, a swift bend ensuring the deadly ray missed its mark. Rising with precision, he surged forward, as he became a mirage as he propelled Little David’s outstretched hands, cloaked in a veil of spatial energy. Releasing his grip, the tiny hands of Little David met the person that launched the attack with force, striking the demon squarely on the chin. The demon hurtled through the air, crashing with onto a nearby building. *Thud!* His head was impaled into the ground, while his buttocks faced upwards."Hahahahahaha!" Little David's laughter rang out joyously. "That's my boy," Talon said as he swished Little David's hair. "How can a child possess such power?" murmured the astonished demons.Gwen, initially i
In a sudden burst of energy, Talon carrying little David and Gwen stepped out from a swirling portal that appeared out of thin air landing in the dark forest. This particular area marked the boundary between the Safe Bone and the City of High Borns. Talon was well aware that Gwen would most likely be found in the Safe Zone, which was the only place where she could seek refuge. However, before reaching their destination, they had to navigate through the Demonic Forest. Even the most skilled experts with an S-Class Ranking rarely returned from this place, as it was rumored to harbor beasts of unimaginable power, surpassing even the SSS-Class Ranking stage. Consequently, the Demonic Forest instilled fear in the hearts of many.Nevertheless, the Holy Druids, who possessed an affinity with demonic beasts, had a slightly higher probability of successfully traversing the terrain.Talon, being one of them, aimed to absorb some Demonic Cores to stabilize his Spatial Energy. Despite his tr
[Objective: Defeat the Gorilla Bear - Completed][Reward: S-Class Automatic Resonance Shield]"The Automatic Resonance Shield? What am I supposed to use this for?" Talon muttered, his voice filled with surprise and a hint of disappointment. [You will understand its purpose when the time is right]However, Talon's immediate concern was not the shield. His attention was fixated on the black orb levaiting just above the Gorilla's lifeless body. Without hesitation, he shifted his focus to absorbing the power contained within the orb.Having released David from his grasp, Talon was taken aback to see the young boy playfully jumping on the dead Gorilla's body. Little David's curiosity led him to reach out towards the black orb, prompting Talon to shout in alarm,"Nooo!" he shouted in dismay, as he flashed with only his mirage seen. The ground cracked beneath him with great force as he desperately tried to reach Little David. However, it was too late; Little David had already touched the orb
