Chapter 2

The First Destination Part 2

I didn't hesitate to approach the woman holding the two crying children, wishing if I had some candy on me so I could give it to the children to stop their craving. Actually, I had some sweets in my bag, but I left it in the vehicle; at least, I would have taken my bag if I knew that I would be lost in a forest. At that moment, I remembered that I was carrying a backpack that I hadn't checked most of its content in so far, but there was a bottle of water. I took the water out and approached the woman, extending the bottle to her.

The woman didn't hesitate either and took water from me without saying anything, just nodding with her head, sipping a few mouthfuls, and then giving it to the children one by one. The young boy was glancing at us, still focused on the rifle and binoculars, ready to shoot anything that moved in front of him. When they had enough water, the woman passed the water bottle to me and said, "Thanks." I took it and tried to pass it to the young boy, but without looking at me, he shook his head and said, "Thanks, I am fine."

I stored the water back in my backpack. The two ladies found the courage to approach us when nothing happened to me and stood behind me, not saying anything, just standing there. I was not standing but squatting. The young boy looked at the two women and said, "You better sit down. No one is there now, but their reinforcements will arrive at any moment and start shooting at us again." The woman looked at him and asked him, "Did they go after him?" The boy nodded without saying anything and turned to us and asked me, "What are you doing here?"

That was a question I myself didn't have an answer to it, I didn't even know where here was, but I had to give him an answer or he would suspect us more, I believe he doesn't even trust us at the moment, so I said, "We are actually lost, we heard the gunshots and came to see if we could help, we thought people were shooting at beasts." The boy looked at me for a few seconds, apparently trying to figure out if I was lying or not, then he looked at the two ladies behind me, they both nodded their heads in agreement.

The young boy looked at the other girl, who didn't move from where she stood. She was close enough to see everything that was going on around her, but far enough away not to hear what we were saying. For some reason, I felt the need to tell him that she was with us, although I didn't want to be lying to him, and I didn't want him to suspect her or us at the same time. It's better to deal with it later, the lying, I mean, rather than create a misunderstanding about which we don't know the consequences.

Before I could open my mouth one of the ladies behind me I believe her name was Amun said "She is with us, we were looking for her also" we both looked at her and at the same time looked at the girl who ware standing like a statue in her place, although I knew what she said was not the truth and none of us knows the girl, I was sure that she didn't had anything to do with whatever was going here, and the only proof that I had was the backpack she was carrying, which was the exact same the ones the three of us was carrying, when I looked back at the boy I was not able to read his expressions, noticing that I was looking at him, he looked at me once more like he was waiting for my approval or details.

I nodded my head, and to prevent him from asking me anymore questions and diverting the whole issue, I asked him, "I don’t mean to meddle in your affairs, but can you tell us what is going on here?" I don’t know if what I was doing was not meddling, what was, but that was the only thing that came to my mind as a distraction. He kept looking at me without saying anything for a few seconds, it seemed to me like he was contemplating whether to tell me or not. He looked at all of us again, one by one, and said, "It's complicated." I was not expecting anything to begin with, so I turned to Amran and told her, "Can you go and bring her? I am sure she is shocked."

Amran nodded and went to bring the new girl, I was sure she would brief her about being together since she was the one who said that the girl was with us. While she was heading toward the girl, the boy went back to his position and looked through the rifle binoculars. After a few seconds looking through them, he looked at me and the woman who was still holding the two kids and said, "There are more armed men coming, I can't hold them all back." He then directed his speech towards me and asked, "Do you have weapons on you?" Suddenly the screen popped in front of me again, and this time the inventory was unlocked without me doing anything.

- Unlocked inventory

- Weapon available 3 set

1. 2 long swords, grade A

2. 2 long daggers, grade A

3. 2 Lazer guns, one short range, and one long range.

Tap into the desired weapon; it will materialize and will be ready for your use.

Nothing was going to surprise me at that moment, from what I have seen so far, so I looked at the boy and said, "Yes, actually, I do have some weapons," though I don't know if I can figure out how to use any of them. Since I don't have any experience with using any kind of weapon (I didn't say the last part aloud), I knew I had to improvise and do my best to get out of this situation, but little did I know that this was the beginning of a long list of surprises.

    At The First Destination Chapter 1 Part 3Strangely, Amran came back to where we were along with the new girl, and she was still holding the two short swords but now with both of them in one hand. I took that as a chance and introduced myself, "Hello, my name is Aden." Then I pointed at the girls behind me and said, "Ladies, introduce yourselves, please." I was only able to introduce two of them since we claimed the third girl was with us and I don't know her, I wasn't able to introduce just the two of them and leave the third. I myself was curious to know the new girl's name, but about her story, I left that for a later time, since the situation was not favorable at the moment.After the two girls introduced themselves, the third one also did the same and said, "Hello, my name is Adline." Then we looked at the boy, and I don't know why, but he sighed before he answered and said, "Nice meeting you all, my name is Luke, this is my sister-in-law." He paused for a second and continued wi

    I was listening to what Ajbadan was telling us and was wondering at the same time how I reached the same conclusion even before he reported to us, how was my estimate that correct with having all the facts, strange as they may be, that was happening at the moment, so I had to naturally complete his last sentence for him, saying "In that case the option for us is to wait it out, until everything becomes clear, it's not in our best interest to intervene in a situation we don't know anything about it." When I finished saying that, I noticed that everyone was looking at me with a surprise on their faces.Even I was surprised at how easily and naturally I said what I said, I didn't even think about what I was saying, it just came to mind and I said it without thinking about it at all. Everyone kept looking at me for a few seconds, then Ajbadan was the first one to recover from the surprise and say, "That was exactly what I was about to suggest; good work, Amran." I didn't have anything to

Thinking to himself, he said, "At least some time has passed, and all I am required to do is survive." The question is, will he be able to do just that? It's not just, "Just survive." How is it that simple? He knew from

    Chapter 6The Chosen Ones Part 2Something is really wrong here, Julian wondered. Reading the list a few times, he noticed one other thing: the time really didn't decrease as he thought the first time but increased. Although it was something he didn't notice the first time and was not sure if the last time he saw it was 23 hours or 24 hours, but it was obvious that it had increased now instead of decreasing.Anyway, that is a different issue that he can solve at the moment; the urgent thing is to navigate the situation that he is facing now. The question is who to go straight to, wherever the destination that he supposedly reached was, and there is a fight going on in front of him, it is not like he can say, "Excuse me, can you please stop fighting until I pass?" He had no prior experience in situations like this or any other situations to being with.Standing in his place, he first looked at the man, who was standing alone and watching the fight like him.

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.

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 c

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

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

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.

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

In a manner I never had before, if it were anybody else in front of me telling me that, the first reaction that would accrue to me would have been to cut his head immediately, without even getting the opportunity to get questioned about where he got the information. But fortunately or unfortunately, the one who said that was a child, although the expression on my face changed and my hand was on the gun and the sword in my waist, a complete involuntary reaction from my side.It took me nearly a minute to gather myself and regain my composure.

    Chapter 32Intermission Jack’s side story Part 1Anther's note:This is Jack’s story recap as I told it in the first volume, but I will now add the missing parts that were not known to anyone in the first volume or the second volume until now, or what was his connection to the storey line? 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.
