"I urgently need to see the message," I demanded of Veronica.

When she played it on her screen in her room, I saw Adrielle's message specifically recorded for me.

"Zaria, I had no idea you would end up here. When I was returning to the city, I had to change my route due to the eruption.

Unfortunately, I stumbled upon this place, this establishment, and quickly realized that the people here are completely out of their minds, to say the least.

I was forced into working for them under the threat of death. So, I decided to pretend to be one of them and gather information while planning my escape.

The woman who is in charge here goes by the name of Libianca. At first, what bothered me was her partially covered face.

However, one night, I caught a glimpse of her without her mask and discovered that half of her face resembles that of a creeper.

Not only that, but her legs also resemble a creeper's, which is why she remains in a wheelchair all the time. If anyone ever see her walking, t

    "I am not abandoning you!" I kissed him once more. "I want you to study Lily, to understand her powers and how we can utilize them for the greater good. You're injured now, but once you've recovered, we will go on our next mission together." I promised.He remained seated, silently watching me. He was not ready to let me go alone, but I had no other option."One day, when all of this is over, we will have a special date. We'll sit beneath a starry sky, gazing into each other's eyes. And I will repeatedly express just how much you mean to me." I drew closer to him and planted a gentle kiss on his forehead."Will it?" he whispered "Ever be over?" his voice trembling."Of course it will be!" I cupped his face "Besides, I won't be going alone!" I finally managed to convince him."Then take something with you that will allow us to stay in contact," he suggested.I embraced him once more, feeling his grip tighten around me.

    Recognizing this as a chance, I seized the opportunity and proceeded toward the well. Inside the well, I discovered the Orphics who were in a severely injured state.Surveying the surroundings, I searched for any objects that could assist them in climbing out.Unfortunately, there was nothing suitable available. Determined to help, I removed my gloves and closed my eyes. Taking a deep breath, I quickly cut open wounds on my fingertips, whispering, "Stay back!" loud enough for them to hear me.I hung my hands inside the well and reminded myself that these poor souls depend on me.I stretched out my hands, watching as the blood dripped from my fingers and began to take the shape of a ladder.

    They made their way inside and immediately noticed many boxes stacked up, covered in thick layers of dust and cobwebs Behind a shelf, a faint glow could be seen, moving in a rhythmic pattern. Upon moving the shelf, they discovered a hidden passage behind it. As soon as they moved the shelf, suddenly the light vanished. "We're here to help you!" Jim whispered, but after a moment of silence, a young man's voice echoed through the empty tunnel. "Is Zaria with you?" he inquired. "She told us to only trust Zaria, not anyone else!" "We're here with Zaria. She took on the task of distracting the guards so we could free you!" Jim replied. Jim removed his mask, revealing himself before their eyes. "You can trust me," he assured them. The light reappeared, emanating from the eyes of a young Orphic. It illuminated the area brightly, revealing that there were many others present. "Do we have enough space for all of them?" Caleb whispered. "We'll take them to our vehicles, and then we'l

    These lines extended all the way to the walls and up to the ceiling. It was a big area, with thousands of doors and passageways.Each gully contained another narrow lane, none of which was even.The entire structure was constructed within this huge cave."This is what they refer to as the twisted city!" Kai's eyes widened in astonishment. "If this is twisted, I wish the entire world would twist in this manner!" Bella exclaimed. "I wonder what lies behind those doors!" Ella thought aloud.That's when a man emerged, clutching a firearm in his hand."Listen, whatever you and that crazy old man are involved in, we want no part of it. The exit is over there!" He gestured toward a nearby gully."You're free to leave and do whatever you please, whether it's spreading viruses or causing chaos. Just leave our families alone!" Fear was evident in his voice.This revelation made Kai realize that the man either had no experience handling a gun or lacked ammunition.As Kai looked into his eyes,

    Ella was lying on the floor in the corner of the room, her face contorted in pain, her hands gripping the sides of the sheet under her. Her breaths came in labored gasps, her body trembling with the effort. Jennifer and a few others stood around her, their faces tight with worry. The air was thick with tension, the sound of Ella’s cries filling the space.Kai rushed to her side, dropping to his knees beside her. He took her hand in his, his heart breaking at the sight of her in so much pain. “I’m here, Ella. I’m right here,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.Ella turned her head toward him, her eyes glistening with tears. “Kai,” she gasped, her voice weak but filled with relief. “I…I thought you wouldn’t make it.”“I’m here, love,” he reassured her, squeezing her hand. “I’m not going anywhere.”Jennifer moved closer, her expression serious. “She’s in active labor, Kai. The baby is coming, and we don’t have much time.”Kai nodded, his mind spinning as he tried to focus. He co

  • What no one expected

    As Jennifer struggled to reach Enzo, the tension was visible. When she finally succeeded in connecting with me, her voice brimmed with a mix of joy and nervous energy. “We’re finally connected to the system!” she exclaimed, her excitement spilling through the static of our communication line.A grin spread across my face, and I turned to Kai, who immediately understood what had happened without needing an explanation. My expression said it all.“Enzo?” I called out, trying to connect with him directly. The line was dead silent. My smile vanished as quickly as it had spread, and an uneasy weight settled in my chest. My pulse quickened, each beat echoing in my ears as I glanced nervously at Kai. “He’ll be alright,” he reassured me, his voice steady but strained. Before either of us could take action, a deep, echoing hum filled the air, overpowering even the sound of our racing hearts. The noise was overwhelming, drawing our attention toward the city gates. With the restored power, the

  • Wrecking Paradise

    He pressed himself against the wall, trying to steady his breathing. The ground beneath him groaned, a sharp reminder of the fragile state of the entire building. He couldn’t afford to stop now—not when so much was at stake.Pushing forward, Enzo reached a junction where the stairs split into multiple paths. Consulting his mental map of the city’s layout, he chose the left corridor, knowing it led directly to the control room.As he advanced, the air grew colder, and the flickering lights overhead cast dark shadows.Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his side. Enzo stumbled, clutching his rib as he gasped for breath. He had hit a loose beam that swung down unexpectedly, narrowly missing his head but cutting through his torso.Blood trickled from a small cut, staining his shirt. Ignoring the pain, he pressed on, his strong will fueling his determination.The corridor opened into a vast, open space—the control room. The room was a chaotic mess of shattered consoles, broken screens, and

  • A Chance of Survival

    “No, we can’t retreat!” I shot back, my mind racing. “If we fall back now, we’ll just be leading them to the survivors! Who knows what these things are capable of if they breach the bunker?”The immortal army was unstoppable, their unsettling faces and wide-open mouths still screaming as they marched forward. The situation was dire, and every second felt like we were inching closer to doom. Then, an idea struck me. “We’ll lead them somewhere else instead! Somewhere they won’t follow the others!” Without waiting for a response, I took off running toward the right, motioning for the others to follow.“There are plenty of ruined buildings to the east,” Kai called after me, sprinting to catch up. “We can find cover there, maybe even set a trap!”"Exactly! We just need to buy the rest of the team some time to regroup and bring the right equipment,” I agreed as we bolted toward the Ferric Burg, a place that had once been a bustling district but was now reduced to crumbling ruins after the a

  • Caught in the Tide

    I yelled for everyone to move. "Run!" I shouted, leading the charge as we turned and sprinted away from the impending disaster. But we were too close. The ground shook violently beneath us, the force of the lab’s landing sending a powerful jolt through the battlefield. The shockwave hit us hard, like a giant hand swatting us aside. We flew, bodies tossed into the air like ragdolls, crashing to the ground in a brutal cascade.I groaned, feeling the sharp sting of pain from the fall. My vision blurred for a moment as I pushed myself up, dirt and debris filling the air around me. Many of us survived the impact, but not everyone was so lucky. As I looked around, the grim reality hit me. The number of those who fell, the martyrs—was far greater than the survivors.I pushed myself up from the debris, my body aching as I limped up to my feet. Dust and rubble filled the air, and the sight before me was nothing short of devastating. Those who hadn’t made it halfway to the bunker were crushed,

  • A Twisted Anomaly

    The battlefield was chaos. Screams, explosions, and the endless rain of arrows and bullets filled the air. Bodies fell, and for every enemy I took down, two more seemed to replace them.As soon as Kai entered the control room, Veronica—rushing toward Kai. Her face was pale, eyes wide with panic, clearly overwhelmed by the chaos. She knelt beside him, but he waved her off, his voice hoarse but steady. "I'm not important right now! Get the guns in position, switch their directions, now!"He delivered my message without caring for his own condition.He gripped her shoulders firmly, but not harshly, guiding her to sit down on the seat. His eyes were intense, but his voice softened as he leaned in close, whispering in her ear. "I know this is overwhelming, but you’ve got this. You can do this."Veronica’s hands trembled as she began to adjust the machine gun controls, rotating the turrets to face the incoming enemy forces. It wasn't the first time she was facing a situation of war, but see

  • An Unseen Threat

    "This thing has a heartbeat!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with unease, her eyes fixed on the screen.I felt my stomach knot, the tension rising with every second. "What if it’s a human? Someone innocent?" My voice cracked, panic creeping into my words."No!" she snapped, her gaze darting between readings. "The heartbeat is… off. Abnormal. It's clocking in at 250 beats per minute. No human, even with a severe condition, could sustain that while moving this fast. This... this is something beyond what we’re ready for." Her fingers hovered over the screen, absorbing more data.Then she froze, her eyes widening. "It’s six feet tall, and only an inch from the barrier!" Her voice wavered. "It... it looks like a plane."I leaned closer, trying to make sense of the silhouette on the display. "A plane? But at that size? Who the hell would build a plane so small?" The shape on the screen did resemble an aircraft, but it was no larger than a child’s toy. Something was very, very wrong.Pan

  • No Time to Grief

    “No, Zaria! It all happened right before our eyes,” Kai said, his voice thick with disbelief. The weight of the moment pulled us together in a tight group hug, but the shock left me frozen. How could this be real? Why would anyone kill Bella? She wouldn’t hurt a soul."No..." I whispered, the denial clawing at my throat. "This can't be happening!" My voice broke into a yell. "How could they kill her? How could—" But my words faded, leaving me breathless, my mind spinning as if the very air had been stolen from me.I pulled away from them, my body trembling. “Prepare! Prepare for battle. We’re going to make him pay!” I demanded, wiping my tear-streaked face with the back of my hand. My rage boosting my strength with every second. I nodded, more to myself than anyone else, as the reality of the situation sank in.“Zaria!” Ella’s voice was soft, her steps cautious as she approached, concern evident on her face. But I reached out first, gripping her shoulders, forcing her to look into my

  • A new discovery

    I dropped everything I was doing and bolted after her, my heart racing. Something had to be wrong. Jennifer was tough, not the type to panic easily. I followed her down the winding path to the bunker, the cool, damp air filling my lungs. As we reached the entrance, a crowd of people had gathered, making a path for me to pass through.“Zaria!” A familiar voice rang out. My dad. He stood there, cleaned up and looking far better than the last time I’d seen him, though his face was still covered with worry. “Thank goodness you’re alright,” he said, pulling me into a quick embrace before stepping aside to let Jennifer lead me deeper inside.“This way,” Jennifer urged, her voice low as she guided me toward a dimly lit corner of the bunker. She stopped in front of a large, rusted wheel embedded in the circular wall—a giant mechanism that looked like it belonged to an old bank vault.“I don’t think Veronica knows anything about this,” Jennifer whispered, her gaze fixed on the wheel. “But it’s
