Destiny and the destination

Part 4

Dead or alive, what's the meaning of this? She almost yelled that aloud, but fortunately she didn't. The instant she finished reading the few lines containing the mission information, her office door opened, and a young man came in to the office and stood behind the door that he closed when he entered the room and said, "Good afternoon, Agent Natasha. My name is Endra. I am here by the order of the general director to assist you with whatever you need to embark on your mission. I will also facilitate your means of travel, and I am waiting for your instructions and orders."

For the first time in her life, Natasha was speechless, although nothing was showing in her expressions. Since she is a biological Android, her thinking process is 50 times higher than that of the most genius human, and she is much superior mentally and physically. Still, as a race, they are more rational and never act on emotions or in haste, so no wonder she was speechless at that moment. She understood the situation was above normal, but the order she received and the speed they wanted her to act on were totally strange.

The Magu Forest was the most dangerous place on this planet, and until this moment, it was off limits to the Andorians. In their whole history, no one of their kind had ever gone there, regardless of the fact that there was no need to go there ever, but the danger lurking in each and every corner of that forest made it a dangerous place, and there was no gain from going or exploring it. Unless you want to commit suicide, then you should stay away from it. At least that is what every living being on this planet believes.

Give me a minute to prepare the required items, and I will call you. Can you wait in the waiting room, please?" She said that while thinking at the same time about what she could need to do this assignment, she had no idea what she should start with. She sat back on her chair and started collecting all the available information about the Magu Forest. Within a couple of seconds, she found that the only thing she needed was to survive in that place, so offensive and defensive weapons were priority number one. She started listening to whatever she thought would help her achieve that, and the second thing was the objective of the mission, which is to find Amun.

In less than a minute, she called Endra and gave him a list, and said, "I will be ready as soon as you gather that." pointing at the list in his hand, he looked at it, and without hesitating or thinking about it, he said, "Right away, give me 4 hours and it will be ready," and without waiting for any response from Natasha, he left the office. She sat in her office for a few minutes, planning in her head for her trip, without thinking anymore about the higher-ups and their intentions or any hidden objectives that they may have. Then she stood up and headed toward the armory store, picking up a few items that were not on the list. Looking around the huge space around her full of tens of thousands of different gadgets and weapons, she wondered why she never wondered about the need for all these weapons since they have been living in peace for hundreds of years so far.

There was no time for her to dwell on those thoughts; she had little time to prepare herself for a journey that none of her kind had attempted before. She had to prepare everything that she thought she might need, so she started heading to the last section of the armory store to pick up the last item she needed in this storage. That item had been in this storage for more than twenty years, and she would be the first and last one to use it. It was a prototype bodysuit with the look of a normal suit but with many other hidden functions. As soon as she received this mission, when she thought about her safety, the suit came to her mind.

The time went by quickly, and the time of her departure was scheduled to be after thirty minutes. She was standing at the gate of the city waiting for Endra to arrive and take her to where she will travel with him to the border. From there, she will be sent somewhere else, and from there, she will be able to use another dimensional gate that will take her to the Magu forest. That was the instructions she receive. She e has collected all the available information on that forest andtaken k all the precautions necessary for her survival and accomplishingthe r mission that she thought of, not knowing that most ofthe time s nothing goes as planned.

..................................

Amun's point of view

Ducking behind the huge boulder, in front of me maybe a few inches suppurating us the woman holding her two kids tightly, beside me the new girl who introduced herself as Adline was actually shaking apparently from fear, which was really understandable according to the situation we are in at the moment. Around twelve men were facing us and shooting at us, and from our side Aden and Luke were shooting back at them, while behind us Jennan was guarding us from anyone that may try to attack us from behind us, with her weapon in her hands ready to shoot anything that comes into her sight.

I couldn't read her facial expressions since she was facing the other side, and she was shaking like Adline. Still, I was positive that she was scared, just like Adline, but maybe being older than her, she was able to control her emotions better. It was obvious to me that she had never held a gun before from the way she was handling her gun. How do I know this by just looking at the way she was holding her gun? I don't know, but during the last few minutes I felt something change within me. I was able to think faster than before, and then I remembered the screen. As soon as I thought about it, it appeared in front of me again, but now with new detail. The first line that appeared for me was like this:

(Congratulations you have gained new skills and gifted with new attributes for surviving six hours)

1. One complete set of leather armor (light leather armor and high-defensive leather armor six pieces of chest, arm, elbow, knees, and a pair of shoes, cannot prevent damage but reduce any damage by 20%.)

2. Metel Shield (This metel shield is made of a light, hard metal known as armo metal, which is harder than steel and lighter than feather).

3. Short Sword ( A sword made of armor steel so sharp that it can cut anything if the required amount of force is used).

5. Unable to read the information of this item.

6. Unable to read the information of this item.

Please choose the required item to withdraw it from the inventory.

So now the time has moved, and because of that, she gained skills and attributes, but it's level zero now. At that moment, I sensed something from my left side. When I looked, I couldn't see anything, but instantly, like I was using a lens, my sight zoomed in beyond where I was looking, and I saw six more men armed with guns trying to sneak at us from that side.

    Author' noteI apologize for the short chapter. I didn't forget my promises to write longer chapters. The thing is, I am stuck on the fight scenes. It's really more difficult than you think, since my aim to begin with is to present to you something different than the norm that we see in most novels. I don't want something exaggerated. At the same time, it has suited the situation that the obstacle I am facing at the moment is, since some of my readers have also requested that I add some fighting and actions to my story rather than just narration.So I am trying my best to satisfy all of you. The next chapter will be longer than normal, as will the last part of this chapter, so bear with me. Also, I am open to any of your suggestions, so please don't hesitate to write your comments. You may see your ideas implemented, and believe me, there is no bad idea ever.Your authorAbdirizack Sarman Chapter 14Destiny and the destination Part 5While I was reading the new input on the screen

I told myself that and did it at the same time in front of me when the target of my shot was clearly visible, so before I took the shot, I thought of a way not to kill but to immobilize him, and I took the shot. I am not sure where I was aiming at, but all I saw was that my target instantly fell down. Then I aimed at the second one and took the second shot, and the same as before, he fell down also. I thought I was going to feel some type of hesitation, but fortunately, I felt nothing. Since I was sure that my shot didn't kill anyone, but at the same time it immobilized them at my tired target, I heard Amun saying "Six more enemies are approaching us from our west side, approximate arrival time is three minutes." After I pressed the trigger and shot the third one, meanwhile Luke was at his fifth shot. I guess since I didn't count, somehow I was able to figure out how many times he

    Chapter 15The Request Part 1I didn't know how to measure the speed or strength that I wanted to use, but internally, I didn't intend to use much force. At the time my weapon connected with his, I didn't wait to see the results but instantly turned to the other one, who was lowering his hand to stab me with his weapon. Switching the gun to my other hand, I saw his head was in a good position for me to hit it, and I did exactly that. It didn't take me more than a split of a second to turn and hit the other one with the bottom of my gun at the same spot as the other one. While preparing to turn again and hit the first one once more, what I saw made me freeze on my spot. The first man I hit that I wanted to follow up with a second attack on was nowhere near his primary position; all I saw was the man laying on his back for more than twenty meters and not moving. When I turned to the other one, the same scene was the same; the only difference was that the man over there was face down o

What I saw in front of me was definitely not what I was expecting. A group of people was approaching me. I counted them quickly, they were approximately 20 armed men moving cautiously in a team of four people; between each team there was a space of around five meters, in a straight line, like they were comping the whole area, it would take them less than a minute to reach where I fought their comrades, and for sure they will notice me sooner or later, unless I flee this place by using one of the skills and go back where I came from.If I go back, it's obvious that they will reach us within a few minutes. There is absolutely no guarantee of the safety of the children and their mother, so butting into the account, for their safety now, that is the only important thing. I believe they can take care of themselves

Although the distance was not that far, they were talking in such a low voice that I couldn't hear them unless I was standing beside them, and I was not, but the only thing was how to activate the skill. Without thinking or knowing if it was within the description of the skills or not, because I didn't want to go once more and read the whole thing one more time, afraid that I may miss all the conversation between the two men, more than what I already missed, I just said the skill name, "Hayber Hearing "Then instantly, I shifted my gaze and attention to them.The conversation was going on. I couldn't tell what they said to each other before, but I was hearing everything clearly, like I was standing next to them. My guard was

    Chapter 19 The Request Part 3B Manuhunter Empire, in the royal court, in a large, secluded room serving as a private meeting room, one of the many rooms made for the same purpose, six men were sitting together; the silence was so thick and ominous; dread was visible on all their faces; no one was saying anything; and no one was looking at the other one. If you listened carefully, you could hear their breathing rhythm, even their heartbeat. The one who was sitting on the largest seat at the table while he was in the same situation as the rest of them. He couldn’t bear the silence any more, asking the person sitting on the opposite seat of him with a harsh tone and saying, “You said you could handle it, and it will not take time; why didn’t you get any reports until now?" The man was apparently shaking with fear and stress, thinking to himself that he may have bitten more than he could chew. "It's too early to tell; we have to wait.

Ajbadan said that and started to move: "Raco, keep the rearguard for now, and remember, our first priority is to protect our guests, we will not attack unless we are attacked first. Is that clear?" It was the same formation that we have been doing so far, and nothing changed. Heading towards danger to collect information was the best option we had at the time, although whether it was wrong or correct, I didn’t object to it and didn’t see a reason to. Maybe for a second, I thought to ask Ajbadan to go and check by himself since we don't know the level of danger we may face. Still, I didn’t worry much or feel any fear or something like that at that time, believing that with this strange system, I would be able to handle most of what we may encounter.The distance was not that far to reach wherever we were going to maybe a few more minutes and we will be there, and I will be able to see my first fight in this world.

She put the device that she was listening to and collected another one from her desk drawer and started recording a message: “This recording is from Section One; the time is 17.00 hours, and today is the first day that officially Project Zero One started finally. I hope we have enough time to implement all the security measures that we have been working on." Without a second thought, she pressed the send button and returned the device to the same drawer.

    Chapter 37Beginning of the Invasion Part 1BEmika’s point of viewThis was the worst nightmare I have been seeing, and I really wished it was just a nightmare, but it was not; it was a reality, a fact in front of my eyes. The thing I was referring to as a portal was forming in the same location I have been seeing it in my dreams, or, to say it correctly, my nightmares. And the reason I am referring to it as a portal is because I knew it was, because I saw it with my own closed eyes at that time, the monsters coming out of it, which indicates that it was a portal of some kind. I have been afraid my dreams would come true, and I didn’t wish for it, but somehow I had the feeling that whatever I saw would happen, but I hoped it would be in a different day and time; a time when I was better prepared for it and was able to take some kind of countermeasure for it.I have no idea what kind of countermeasure I could have been able to take.

At least they have been together more the rest of them, Regardless of their meeting in the forest, as they said, Murad shook his head like he was dropping the questions that filled it and went to the boy. Aden stood up when he saw Murad approaching him and smiled while saying, “It’s embarrassing to say that, seeing you came to help me, but I am actually leaving the tent here that way I didn’t dismantle it.” Murad was not expecting to hear that at all While the surprise was showing on his face, he asked, “Can I ask you why?” Aden didn’t expect to be asked that question either, so he hesitated for a second and said while scratching his head with a small laugh, ”ha

It was both smokey and liquid-like at the same time, and he was unable to determine what material it was composed of. It was moving like a live entity with a pulsating heart, but it was not changing shape. In a matter of seconds, it gained shape and materialized in front of him at the location the youngster had indicated. He felt a terrible sensation throughout his body. This is what the young man was talking about. He told himself, "So it's all true then," confirming the first thing the boys had mentioned. "The time was the next thing he confirmed, and it was true too." He had the chance to glance at the clock now that it was getting to be the time of sunset, but he didn't think of it. He fe

So far, all we knew in the first volume was that he was looking for his wife, and that was all he was looking for. Where was he imprisoned? What for? There were a lot of questions that no one asked and nobody answered, and no one will unless someone dares ask the correct question.Also, I edited the previous chapter, its not just a copy of the same chapter of the first volume to go along with the current retelling of the story without changing much from the original story as a recap because of the importance of the story line. I remember one reader asking me if I was just filling in the characters for the sake of my book, and he was specifically talking about Jack :) I hope now he got the answer.
