Chapter 8
The Chosen Ones Part 4So he repeated his question once more, although I think maybe it was more than once: "Do you have any weapons?" What kind of question is that? Without even thinking much about it, without me doing it intentionally, I nodded with my head and said, "Yes, I do have some weapons." Suddenly, the screen popped in front of me again, and this time, the inventory was unlocked without me doing anything.- Unlocked inventory- Weapons available: 3 sets1. Two long swords, grade A 2. Two long daggers, grade A3. Two laser guns, one short-range and one long range.Tap into the desired weapon; it will materialize and be ready for your use.Was it natural for it to happen that way? I have no idea, really. When I saw the two other girls coming towards us, Amran was the other new young girl, and both of them had weapons in their hands. I was wondering who this young girl was, but before I asked anything, Aden spoke and asked us to introduce ourselves. Apparently, he could introduce me and Amran, but I think he didn't want to put the new girl in an awkward position because simply that could complicate things since the other boy doesn't trust us, he only understood that we don't have any ill intentions towards them.The dilemma I was in when all the introductions were going on was wondering what kind of weapon I should choose and where I would get it from. Sure, it was mentioned that it would materialize in front of me, but from where and how? However I thought about it, I was sure that I would not get an answer, so what should I choose now, since I don't know how to use any of the weapons mentioned in the list because I never even saw them up close, let alone holding them? I was not wondering anymore how this woman called Amran got the two short swords or where, I simply reached the conclusion that we are in the same situation, and if what she told us is true, then all of us were here for a reason.Now the question is: are this young boy and the woman with her two kids part of whatever was going on here, or maybe they were the ones behind all of it? At the end, I chose the long-range laser gun, and apparently, while I was deep in my thoughts, the boy introduced himself. And the other's, and he said at the end, "You two without weapons, come closer to the rock; you with swords, stay behind them and check our backs." " And you, cover my left side and always stay behind the rock unless you are shooting back." He addressed me in the same way he said that and added, "They are here, be ready to engage.".......................Adline's point of view I froze at my place, looking at the rifle that was facing my face. A cold sweat dropped from my face and drenched my back in that moment. I was unable to come up with any reaction, all I could do was stand there like a statue. Was this my end? What kind of mission I signed up for, actually I didn't sign up for anything, now I believe I was tricked into meeting my end in a strange place I know nothing about.At that moment, the boy from the other side called out, "We are not your enemies; please don't shoot." The boy with the rifle turned towards the other boy, and after looking at him for a few seconds, he lowered his rifle. Without saying any other words, he turned to the other side and pointed his rifle there, looking through the scope.I think I passed out while I was standing, my brain froze, as did my body. However, when I tried to recall what happened after that, nothing came back to me. All I remember is the woman with two swords in her hands standing in front of me. I guess she asked me something that I didn't hear. When she saw me staring at her with a blank eye, she said, "Come with me; we will join the others," and like a robot, I followed her without saying anything.After we joined them, the young boy who was with the two women asked us to introduce ourselves to the boy with the rifle. When did they get to know each other? I don't know. When my turn came and I introduced myself by only saying my name, I was stressed and shaking, but I tried my best to not let anyone notice me. The next question came from the boy with the rifle: "Do you have any weapons?" And that was addressed to all, while looking at us one by one.I don't know what I said when it was my turn to answer because I was busy looking at the screen that appeared in front of me, not wondering about the content of what was written in it, but who sent it to me? Was it the girl that replaced me? or someone else in the other workspace that was surrounding me? Also, the content was different from the one I used to send. After a few seconds, I concentrated on the screen and saw the same information as before, but now with a couple new lines.Nam: Adlian Age: 15Race: HumanRank: Observer-ApprenticeStatus: healthySkills: 1- Weapon Master level 12- Stealth level 13- Agility level 1Gifts: Sniper Rifle Gifts Level: 1Grade: 2Phase: 2Points: 10Inventory: (Six Items) Inventory partiality unlocked.1- Weapon Inventory: seven items• Lazer guns × 6• Crystal power guns × 6• Garnisher × 3• Crossbow × 3• Speers × 6• Lance × 6• Ammunition × 202- Supplies storage unlocked3- Consumable Storage Unlocked4- Full body protection armor 5- Potions Locked 6- Accessories LockedRemarks: PermanentMission: Observe and report [Mission Priorities #3][Survival]You have to survive the duration of the mission for it to be completed, and the skills you have been given will contribute to your survival.

I was surprised by the additional information that appeared on the screen in front of me, so this clearly means that there will be a lot of fights like these in the future since all these weapons are in my possession, and I have to use them also, but how will I be able to do that? I don't have any fighting or weapon training; weren't they supposed to teach and train me first before throwing me into a situation I have knowledge about?. While I was thinking about these things, which were irrelevant to the situation that we were facing, I heard the boy with the rifle introduce himself to the woman and the kids. Even though I was not sure how or exactly when that happened, it reached me that instant. I had a feeling that something was wrong with the way everything was happening. I don't know how to explain it, but what I was feeling was like I was in two
Chapter 10Destiny and the destination Part 1Reading the list I'm from of him didn't take that long, but understanding it was a different matter. It wasn't that it was a language that he couldn't understand; it was actually in clear, understandable English. Then what is the meaning behind it? That was what he couldn't understand at all, as stated from the beginning. Name Azmar, Age: 19, Race: Human, Rank: A Level: 5, Occupation: Vanguard, let's start with the name he knew was his real name; he was given that name since he was unable to remember his real name. That was the only thing he could understand, but the line showed Age 19. That is hard to believe, even though he doesn't remember his real age. There is no way that I will be that young; "I can feel it deep down that I am almost double that age, or at least close to it." That was what he thought. He did actually look young when he looked at himself in a mirror, the one that he was looking at didn't look familiar at all because
Chapter 11Destiny and the destination Part 2I was monitoring the situation around here with interest when she suddenly saw a virtual screen appear in front of me, a familiar scene that I saw a lot of while playing games in front of my brother's computer. The only difference was how realistic it was, it was like it literally appeared in front of me and was printed in the air. The situation we were in was not a normal one, but one more surprising thing happened to me. A virtual screen appeared out of nowhere in front of me with information supposedly prevailing about my status. This is a status screen, something I am well aware of in video games. The games that belonged to my brother that I used to play behind his back since, from my parents point of view, I was too young to play them, though I am not a child, I am 10 years old, huh? Wait, why does it say I am 12 here? Am I mistaken with my own age? I believe my 11th birthday is supposed to be five months later. I read it twice, th
Chapter 12Destiny and the destination Part 3Everyone was looking at me, wondering about the way I analyzed the situation. I couldn't really tell what was going through their minds; all I noticed was the way they were staring at me. The first one to react to what I said was Ajbadan, who broke the silence and said, "I actually agree with Amran's point of view, also, there is no guarantee what we will encounter if we go in any other direction." He paused at the point like he was contemplating something else, then he said, addressing me and Azmar, "You two stay behind us; we will protect you." Worries appeared on his face when he said that.Actually, we have weapons." I said that my assumption that Azmar has weapons was also based on what I saw on my status screen, I was sure of it; in fact, the only thing that I was not sure of was whether I was able to use the weapons that I have. On second thought, since it was a skill, it should be implanted in me so I know for a fact I will be abl
Chapter 13Destiny 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 spe
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
Chapter 15Destiny and the destination Part 6 Now steady your weapon, aim at your target, and shoot. 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
