Adline was running as fast as she could, she had never run in her life simply because there was no reason to, she didn't think that she could because her stamina was always low because of malnutrition, even normal walking for a distance was hard on her, and now that she is running, if anyone was able to measure her speed, it was 100 times faster than any human could do it; she didn't even notice that, how could she? She was running for her life, the worst thing was that she didn't even know why she was running or from what she was running.
After she went through the gate she has no idea what happened after that. The next thing she knew was the voice that woke her up and told her to run, and as an obedient child, she obeyed and started to run, and the fear she felt contributed to that as well, a fear she had never experienced like this before in her life. She didn't notice also that she was running in a forest. After about 5 minutes of nonstop running, she heard the same voice again, "You can stop now, the danger has passed." That was all, so she stopped, and took a breath, she was not sweating or tired, and even her breathing was steady, like she just had a normal stroll on the road. After a few minutes of standing in the same place she had stopped running, she noticed for the first time where she was.She noticed that she was in a forest, then started looking around her, nothing she saw was familiar to her. Suddenly, she realized she had heard a voice but no one was around her, the voice seemed to be coming near her ears, so whoever that was must have been close to her, but where she started to feel packed once more at that time, something appeared in front of her suddenly, without hesitating, she took a couple steps back and she fell on the ground, what appeared in front of her was a screen, while she was on the ground, still the screen was still in front of her, and then a writing appeared on the screen.Nam: AdlianAge: 15Race: HumanRank: Observer ApprenticeStatus: healthySkills:1- Weapon Master level 12- Stealth level 13- Agility level 1Gifts: Sniper RifleGifts level: 1Grade: 2Phase: 2Points: 10Inventory: (four items)Remarks: PermanentMission: Observe and reportDuration: One Month.She blinked a couple times, and her mouth was wide open from the surprise. She didn't expect to see this screen in front of her personally, this was very familiar to her because she has been seeing the same screen in her terminal for the past few weeks. So why is it in front of her now? What has this got to do with her mission? She noticed that the mission information was in her new communicator, but she didn't have a chance to read it yesterday, it totally slipped her mind to do so. Hastily, she looked at her communicator and touched the main menu, then she saw an option that was not available on her previous communicator.which was [To view the content in 3D, please tap the MENU button twice]; she was somehow astonished by that, although she was not a tech savvy, but this opinion was available in the market as far as her knowledge goes. After tapping the menu button twice, a new screen similar to the one she was just looking at appeared with full details of the menu. She scrolled down the screen, touching the transparent screen the way she would have with a normal screen.After a few minutes of reading the discretion of the mission, which actually appeared to be as simple as the supervisor told her, except for a few mysterious sentences, she couldn’t understand its meaning. The first one was something about survival, she read it once more to be sure she understood it.[Mission priorities #3][Survival]You have to survive the duration of the mission for it to be completed, the skills you have been given will contribute to your survival. Use it well. That was one thing she couldn't understand what they meant by it, there no explanation for what to survive or how? Is it dangerous, like the thing that was chasing her a few minutes ago? By the way, what was that? Where did it go? Finally, what are the skills they mention here? Is it the same thing on the other screen? Instead of making things easier for her, she was getting more questions than answers.She lamented the situation for a few moments, and since she couldn’t figure anything out anything by sitting on the ground in this scary forest, she decided to move and see how things went from there on. The screen with her information was still in front of her, and suddenly she remembered the gesture the young man she was monitoring used to do to close this screen. Imitating the same, she closed the screen, and still standing at the same place, she said aloud, "Then what now?" She was not expecting any answers, but to her surprise, she heard the same female voice she had heard previously say, "Your target location is 350 meeter's ahead of you, you will get further instructions when you reach there."That was shocking to hear a voice with instructions inside her head, and it was relieving at the same time to get instructions that will help her accomplish her mission. It's better than doing things blindly without knowing what to do. It didn't take her more than a few minutes to reach a clearing with a few boulders scattered around. As soon as she stepped out of the woods, she saw behind one of those boulders a woman who was holding two children, and in front of them was a young boy with a rifle in his hand. At that same moment, with high speed, the boy turned behind him, and without a hesitation, he shot his rifle.Looking at the boy who scared the life out of her, she looked at where he shot, and she saw another boy standing there behind him. There were two women standing on both sides. Still dazed by the gunfire and the strange situation she encountered, she woke up to a second shot, but this one was directed at her. The boy shot at her at the same time he shot at the other boy and the two ladies, apparently he didn't intend to hit either of them, or else they would have been dead long before they even could realize what was going on. She froze at her place, looking at the rifle that was facing her face. A cold sweat dropped from her face and drenched her back in that moment. Unable to come up with any reaction, she stood there like a statue. At that moment, the boy from the other side called out, "We are not your enemy, 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
Prologue It was a really nice and wonderful journey this past year, and it's hard for me to believe that I completed the first volume of my book ""Wake Up And Run"" all thanks to my wonderful readers, among them family and friends, without their support and encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to finish or even continue writing this book, and it wouldn't have seen the light. I started writing this book in 2014, and I stopped writing after writing only nine chapters. At that time, I was not aware of online publishing or the concept of sterilization or web novels, although the way I envisioned it at that time was really the same concept, now we are starting to go together through the second volume. As I mentioned before, the first volume was the introduction of the story, and it was missing the thrill and the fast pace, at least that is what I have been told, so I will be working on that in this volume, which is the beginning of the story and the adventure. Being an amateur write
Volume 2 Chapter 1The First Destination Part 1 Nothing makes sense, this is not making any sense, four men were surrounding me, one in front of me, one behind me, and two on each side, with all of them directing their swords toward me, actually toward my head, between my head and the swords, only a few inches, with the slightest movement from them, and it will penetrate my skin. That is not it, the thing that do not make any sense are their speed, the speed at which they approached me, and the fact that they raised their weapon so slowly. I was shocked at the beginning. In fact, I was scared, but this I could dodge with ease. So I did bend down at the same time. lifting my swords up and parrying the one facing me with my right hand and the one behind me with my left hand. At the same time, to clear a space for me, I kicked the one on my right side with my right leg, while supporting myself with his body and using him as a foothold, and I turned in the air, reaching the other one on
Chapter 2The First Destination Part 2I 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 pa
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
The Chosen One's Part 1 Chapter 5This time it was not as surprising as the first time, and there was no change in the information; it was the same as the first time, except now he was able to read it slowly and try to understand the meaning of what he saw in front of him. Now, though the last line was different, the information was as follows:Nam: Julian Age: 14Race: HumanRank: apprentice Status: healthySkills: Detection - ForesightGifts: Sight-Night VisionsGrade: 1 Phase: 1Points: 1Inventory: (four items)Remarks: Temp Mission: Survive Duration: 24 hours and 54 minutes.Reward: 200 credits.That means since he came to this forest, it's been only six minutes only, though it looked like more than half an hour for him. 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. The man noticed when he appr
