"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

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."

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.

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.

    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!"

    And it had already laid the egg in that immortal’s body, forcing it to survive. While Oliver was watching similar, terrifying behavior of the bacteria before his eyes in that container, he was writing down its behavior.But then, something else happened.A flicker of motion caught his peripheral vision, subtle at first—but unmistakable. Something was moving. And not just within the container. Oliver slowly turned, every nerve on edge, his heart climbing into his throat. The immortal had risen. Somehow, impossibly, it was back on its feet. And it was moving. Toward him.The camera, still rolling, caught the moment. The sudden panic in Oliver’s eyes. His desperate dash. The immortal pursuing him with inhuman speed. The last thing captured on the footage was Oliver sprinting toward the freezer room as the screen static took over. I had spent days trying to pinpoint where this footage was taken. If it was found in those old, labs, then the location had to be close to them, right? Th

    Kai turned toward where I pointed, just as the shadow shifted again—this time emerging from behind the rocks and stepping into the light.My breath hitched.Cassian.He stood beneath the tower with both hands raised, stepping cautiously forward as if walking into enemy territory.“What the hell is he doing here?” I whispered, lowering my gun just slightly but keeping my aim locked.Before either of us could speak, a burst of static crackled through my communicator. I slapped it, and Jennifer’s voice broke through.“Ella was sleep-talking,” she said, her voice sounding both confused and cautious. “She kept repeating something… *‘No matter what happens, don’t turn him down this time.’*”I blinked, my heart skipping a beat. “What does that mean?”“I don’t know,” Jennifer replied quickly. “I just thought you should know. It felt… important.”The message echoed in my head as I descended the tower behind Kai. The sound of our boots on the metal stairs seemed too loud in the eerie stillness.

  • Scorching grounds and helpless soul

    "I'm hurt," he admitted. His words were slow, pained, as if even speaking drained what little strength he had left. He clutched his chest, his fingers trembling as he pressed against the sharp, radiating pain. "The place is on fire… I need to find another way out." He coughed violently, doubling over as smoke filled his lungs. Every breath burned. "Please, stay away from here," he warned, his voice dropping to a mere whisper. "There are live wires everywhere. This place… it could explode any second." The fear in his tone made my blood run cold. My hands curled into fists, nails digging into my palms. "Please, just be safe!" I begged, my voice breaking. The thought of losing him sent an icy shiver through my entire body. There was a pause. Then, with quiet determination, he said, "I promise—I’ll come back to you." It was a vow spoken in faith, but deep down, even he wasn’t sure he could keep it. Shoving the doubt aside, he turned, his eyes scanning the smoke-filled room for

  • No time to lose

    Kai stared at her, the weight of her words pressing down on him like a heavy shroud. “It was so hard to convince you,” Ella said, her voice softening, laced with sorrow. “To make you believe that I had to go back through that portal, that I needed to find *this* version of you—to warn you. But I did it, Kai. I convinced you to let me go, and here I am.” She gripped his arm again, her knuckles white with effort. “Don’t let all of that be in vain. Please. I’m begging you.” Her breaths came in shallow, rapid gasps now, her eyes searching his for any glimmer of understanding. “You have to warn Zaria. Tell her what’s coming. The attack—the devastation—it will be unlike anything you can imagine. If you don’t act now, it’ll be too late.” Kai stared into her pleading eyes, his heart pounding. Every word she’d spoken rang with tension, and though the weight of her tale seemed impossible, there was something in her voice, her expression, that broke through his doubt if he even had any, an

  • Crazy Theory

    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,
