As the convoy rumbled through the war-torn landscape of Barrion, Lizzie turned to Calvin, her eyes wide with fear. The moonlight flickered through the shattered windows of the truck, casting eerie shadows on her face. "Calvin, I'm really scared," she admitted, her voice trembling like a fragile whisper against the growl of the engine.

Calvin squeezed her hand reassuringly, his grip warm and steady. "Don't be afraid, Lizzie," he said, his voice a steady anchor in the chaos around them. "We have to do this. It's for what we believe is right. We're going to find the answers we need," he said firmly, trying to instill confidence in her.

Lizzie nodded, trying to draw strength from his words, but then shook her head slightly, her expression still troubled. "It's not just that," she whispered, glancing around to make sure no one else could hear. The shadows seemed to dance with her anxiety. "Since we've been back in Barrion, I can feel the power of my amulet growing stronger. I'm scared that

Unfortunately, one of the soldiers decided to check Calvin's old house. They couldn't afford to be caught.Calvin tensed up, his ears straining to pick up the rumbling engines and the clatter of boots drawing nearer. "That's a Han Xin patrol," he whispered, his eyes wide with controlled panic.Lizzie felt her blood run cold. "We have to hide," she said, her voice trembling but firm.

"Here," he said, opening the wardrobe door and helping Lizzie inside. The

    Calvin then asked Lizzie, "What exactly are we looking for here? What did you see in your vision?"Lizzie frowned, feeling the immense pressure from the amulet on her chest. "I feel like the amulet's power is about to explode. I have to use my power now, or we might never find the answer," she said, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and determination.Calvin nodded firmly, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I'll protect you, Lizzie. Do what you need to do," he said with conviction.Lizzie took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. She closed her eyes and focused her mind, summoning the energy within her. Almost immediately, her body began to emit a soft, green glow. The light grew brighter, but the sunlight filtering through the dusty windows of the house helped to obscure it from the outside.Calvin stood beside her, feeling a mix of awe and anxiety. "Lizzie, be careful," he whispered, his voice barely audible as his eyes darted around the room, constantly scanning t

    When the lid opened, Calvin and Lizzie were shocked to find another, smaller chest inside, and it was locked. Lizzie floated back to the ground, the green light fading from her body until she was just Lizzie again."Is there no key?" Lizzie asked, her voice tinged with frustration and worry.Calvin began searching the room frantically, rifling through the old boxes and forgotten items. "There has to be a key somewhere," he muttered, his hands shaking slightly with urgency. He lifted up old books, peered behind dusty furniture, and searched every nook and cranny, but the key remained elusive.As he continued his search, a noise from outside reached their ears—a series of footsteps growing steadily closer. Calvin froze, his eyes widening in alarm. "Lizzie," he whispered, "I think those are Han Xin soldiers. They might have seen the light from your amulet and are coming back to check."Lizzie's face paled as she glanced around the room. "What do we do? We can't get caught here."Calvin t

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Drones

    Calvin and Lizzie moved cautiously through the rubble-strewn streets, each step taken with care to avoid making any noise that might attract attention. The two-hour window given by the convoy leader was rapidly dwindling, and they knew they had to hurry. Bacca, the capital of Barrion, was a strategic location and the Han Xin soldiers were bound to tighten their grip on the city, conducting daily sweeps to secure resources. Rumors of a hidden mine, the source of Barrion's wealth, made the city a constant target."We have to hurry, Lizzie," Calvin whispered urgently to his sister. "We can't be left behind by the convoy."Lizzie nodded, her eyes wide with determination and fear. They quickened their pace, the weight of the smaller chest they carried slowing them down only slightly. However, their progress came to a sudden halt when they spotted a patrol of Han Xin soldiers ahead. Without hesitation, they ducked into a nearly destroyed old house, pressing themselves against the crumbling

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   Wait!

    Lindsay and the convoy group had gathered at the rendezvous point, anxiously watching the horizon. The air was thick with tension, and every minute felt like an eternity. They knew the risk of waiting too long in such a vulnerable spot.“Calvin and Lizzie aren’t back yet,” Lindsay muttered, her voice tinged with worry as she scanned the distance for any sign of her friends.One of the convoy members, a grizzled man named Marcus, shook his head. “We have to leave now, Lindsay. The drones are already in the air, and staying here puts us all at risk.”Lindsay bit her lip, torn between loyalty and practicality. “Just a few more minutes. They’ll make it,” she insisted, her eyes darting around nervously.Another member, a young woman named Elena, glanced nervously at the sky. “Lindsay, the drones are getting closer. We can’t afford to be here when they start their sweep.”Lindsay clenched her fists, her frustration growing. She couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Calvin and Lizzie behind,

  • The Super Doctor Calvin Hudson   The Chest

    Calvin hid the small chest beneath his coat, feeling its weight press against him as he rejoined the convoy. The group was busy gathering and sorting the supplies they had scavenged from Bacca: medicines, bandages, and a few cans of food. The air was thick with the tension of their recent narrow escape, and everyone worked quickly to prepare for their next move.Calvin and Lizzie exchanged worried glances. They had nearly caused the convoy to leave without them, and now they stood empty-handed amidst the others' successful scavenging efforts. Lindsay approached them, her expression stern but tempered with a hint of understanding.“You did well yesterday, Calvin,” Lindsay said, her voice firm. “That’s the only reason you’re getting a pass this time. But listen carefully—there won’t be a next time. If either of you are late again, you’ll be left behind.”Calvin nodded, swallowing hard. “We understand, Lindsay. We’re sorry for the delay. It won’t happen again.”Lizzie looked down, clutch

Calvin administered first aid to a man with a severe leg wound while Lizzie distributed food and water to those in need. They worked tirelessly, their thoughts occasionally drifting back to the discoveries they had made the previous night.By midday, the sun was high in the sky, and the heat was becoming oppressive. Calvin wiped the sweat from his brow and approached Lizzie, who was tending to a child with a fever. "Lizzie, can we talk for a moment?" he asked, his voice low.Lizzie looked up, concern etched on her face. "Sure, what's on your mind?"Calvin glanced around to ensure no one was listening. "We need to go back to Hudden. There are too many questions left unanswered, and we need to find Mom's diary. Plus, I have to recover my amulet before the week's up. If I don't, my reputation as a healer

They hurried to the ticket counter, purchasing the earliest flight back to Hudden. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and for a brief moment, Calvin allowed himself to relax.As they made their way to the waiting area, Calvin's eyes scanned the crowd. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a group of individuals dressed differently from the other travelers. They wore dark uniforms, their demeanor authoritative and their eyes sharp. Calvin's gut churned with a sense of impending danger."Lizzie," he whispered urgently, nudging her arm. "Cover your face with your hoodie and pretend to be asleep."Lizzie glanced at him, her eyes wide with confusion and fear. "What's wrong?""Just do it," Calvin insisted, pulling his own hoodie over his head and leaning back in his seat, feigning sleep.Lizzie followed suit, her heart pounding in her chest.

  • You Will Never Have Me

Today had been exhausting, and his mind began to shift toward his clinic—a place that had always been his refuge from life’s chaos. However, his steps halted when he heard a woman’s voice calling his name.“Calvin!”He turned around, his eyes widening at the sight of the person standing there. Alana. His ex-wife, a figure from the past he had worked so hard to leave behind. Reality struck him like a blow—he had completely forgotten about the agreement he had signed to marry her again. That agreement had been in exchange for the immense help Alana provided during a tough time, but now it felt like a weight lurking in the back of his mind.Before Calvin could say anything, Alana ran toward him. In a flash, she threw her arms around him, holding him tightly, leaving Calvin frozen in place.“Calvin,” she said with relief, her voic

Suddenly, the silence was interrupted by a soft chime.[Ding!]The familiar sound of the system’s notification brought him back to the present. A faint blue light flickered on the small device attached to his wrist.[New Notification,] the system intoned, its voice calm and measured, a stark contrast to Calvin’s restlessness.“What is it this time?” Calvin muttered under his breath, keeping one hand on the wheel while activating the holographic interface with a quick swipe.The system’s screen illuminated his face as it began its explanation.[Dr. Hudson,] it started, [your recent accomplishments have brought you closer to unlocking the final legacy of your family.

  • Returning

    When Calvin arrived home, the weight of the past days pressed heavily on his shoulders. He didn’t bother turning on the lights as he entered, letting the darkness wrap around him like a familiar cloak. The house was silent, almost eerily so, but it offered the solitude he craved.His feet carried him automatically to the backyard. The moon cast a soft glow over the small garden, illuminating the simple headstone that marked Lizzie’s resting place.Calvin approached the grave and knelt down, his fingers brushing against the cool stone. For a moment, he simply sat there, the night air still and heavy around him.“I did it, Liz,” he said softly, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. “It’s over. San Wang is defeated, and the war is finished. Barrion can finally rebuild.”He paused, staring at the ground as memories of Lizzie flooded his mind. Her laughter, her courage, the way she always seemed to know the right thing to say.“I hope you’re proud of me,” Calvin whispered, h

  • The Hero

    Calvin’s journey back to Nooria was uneventful, but his mind was anything but calm. The weight of his actions in Bacca lingered heavily in his chest. Despite his victory, he felt no triumph—only exhaustion and the nagging thought that the peace he had brokered might be temporary.When the plane touched down in Nooria, the first thing Calvin noticed was the unusual bustle of activity at the airport. As he descended from the aircraft, he was met with silence—a heavy, anticipatory silence that made him pause.A crowd had gathered, and Calvin froze as he realized their eyes were fixed on him. Faces reflected a range of emotions: awe, gratitude, and disbelief. Some whispered to one another, others simply stared. Then, slowly, one person began clapping.The solitary applause rippled through the crowd like a spark igniting dry kindling. Within moments, the entire gathering erupted into cheers and applause, the sound filling the air with a roar of gratitude and admiration.“Calvin Hudson!” so

  • The War is Over

    Calvin’s chest heaved as he faced San Wang once more, their weapons gleaming in the fading sunlight. The battlefield was eerily silent, save for the faint hum of San Wang’s blade and the rasp of Calvin’s labored breathing. The earlier clash had pushed both warriors to their limits, and the tension between them crackled like a storm on the brink of eruption.San Wang’s smirk returned as he lunged forward, his blade slicing through the air with deadly precision. Calvin parried, but the force of the attack sent him stumbling back. San Wang pressed his advantage, raining down a series of blows that Calvin barely managed to block. Each strike forced Calvin closer to the edge of the helicopter platform, where the abyss below waited hungrily.“You’ve fought valiantly, Guardian,” San Wang sneered, his blade locking against Calvin’s air-forged sword. “But your strength wanes. This ends now!”With a sudden twist, San Wang disarmed Calvin, sending his shimmering blade shattering into the ether.

  • The Battle Through The Sky

    The moment San Wang’s mocking words faded into the air, Calvin’s fury exploded into action. With a burst of telekinetic energy, he propelled himself into the sky, soaring toward the massive helicopter where the self-proclaimed king of Han Xin stood. The wind howled around him as he ascended, his figure a blur of raw power and determination.“Stop him!” San Wang barked, his voice sharp as steel.Elite soldiers poured out of the helicopter, their movements precise and disciplined. Each was clad in advanced combat armor, bristling with cutting-edge weaponry designed to neutralize powerful foes. But Calvin was no ordinary foe.The first wave of soldiers descended on Calvin mid-air, unleashing energy blasts from their gauntlets. Calvin raised his hand, the air around him thickening into a shield that absorbed the attacks. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the shield outward, a concussive wave that knocked the soldiers off their trajectory, their bodies spiraling toward the ground.Another

  • Wrath Unleashed

    The air in Bacca seemed to hold its breath as the operatives formed a semicircle around Calvin, their weapons gleaming under the pale morning light. Dust swirled in lazy spirals around their boots, stirred by the slowing rotors of the helicopter that had just landed. Every soldier’s gaze was fixed on Calvin, but there was an edge of hesitation—none of them had ever faced an enemy like him.From the helicopter emerged a man dressed in a dark, impeccably tailored uniform. His steps were measured, calculated, exuding an air of authority that made the surrounding soldiers snap to attention. The man—Commander Yuan—wore a faint smirk as if he believed the battle was already won.“Guardian Calvin Hudson,” Yuan announced, his voice echoing through the desolate streets. “It’s an honor to finally meet you. Though I must admit, I didn’t expect you to come here willingly.”Calvin said nothing, his dark eyes scanning the operatives with measured precision. He noticed how their fingers twitched on

  • Arrival in Bacca

    The sun had yet to rise when Calvin Hudson stepped onto the cracked pavement of Bacca. The air was heavy with the scent of decay and charred remnants of what was once a bustling, prosperous city. His footsteps echoed in the desolate streets, the sound amplified by the eerie silence of the ruins. Bacca, a city once celebrated for its strength and innovation, now lay in ruins—a mere shadow of its former self. Skyscrapers stood like jagged tombstones, their glass facades shattered, and the streets were littered with debris, a haunting testament to the destruction wrought by time and war.Calvin's gaze swept over the devastation, his heart heavy. The memories of the city's past vibrancy were fresh in his mind, a stark contrast to its current state. He hadn't come to mourn, though. He was here for answers—answers that only Bacca might hold about the Fountain of Health and the mysterious blue gemstones tied to its power.As he moved deeper into the city, Calvin remained oblivious to the sil

    Calvin turned back to the old man, intending to ask, "Who are you, really?" But the words caught in his throat when he realized the wheelchair was empty.His eyes widened, and he quickly scanned the area. “Where did he go?” Calvin muttered under his breath. The space around him was quiet, filled only with the murmurs of volunteers and the soft groans of patients in the makeshift medical camp.He stepped forward, his gaze darting between the rows of cots and supply tents. “Excuse me,” he called out to a nurse passing by, her arms full of medical supplies.The young woman turned, tilting her head in curiosity. “Yes, Doctor? How can I help?”Calvin pointed to where the old man had been sitting. “Did you see the man in the wheelchair? The older man—he was sitting right there with me a moment ago.”The nurse frowned, her brow knitting in confusion. She glanced at the spot Calvin indicated, then back at him. “I’m sorry, Doctor, but… I didn’t see anyone. You’ve been sitting alone since I pas
