Seems like the Eliminator had noticed them! Upon seeing Alex and Dane rush up towards him, the monster shapeshifted into human skin bites its bottom lip. 'Why aren't we allowed to use our powers here again?' Asked Dane to Athena.'Because we don't want to cause panic within the audience. Besides, did i just hear that right? Old Man was murdered and was left to rot?''Yeah. That's the base of what Alex said. Besides, we're chasing it now. It's walking towards some little hallway. We hope we can catch up.''Right. Chadwick is coming your way too. Don't let the monster escape again. Even if we have to tear this place down with a fight, we will. That monster needs to be taken down at all costs.' Said Athena in their joint resonance.'Understood.' Replying to her instructions in unison, the group dispersed to corner the monster. To catch it and enquire a lot, lot things about it's species.'It's gone into the hallway. Dane has eyes on it.''You know it's going to disappear in a flash, rig

"Might as well begin searching for him in the crowd if that's the case. If it can shapeshift...so should we. It's main target, is me." Dane concludes. Athena sighs as she tries to explain the situation to Dane."How do I know what is the real monster if I can't even sense it? This is a ridiculous job.""That's weird coming from you, Athena." Dane furrowed his eyebrows."Lady Athena seems different today. What happened to you, Lady Athena?" "Shouldn't I feel bothered that this monster is slowly becoming much untraceable and powerful than us? It's uncanny. It shouldn't be this way. Hunting is supposed to just...happen. All of this doesn't happen in Monster Hunting." Alex clicks his tongue at Athena's words."Well, welcome to the world of brains then. We use it to hunt, too." Dane wanted to laugh at how witty Alex had sounded. But he knew his own lover would be disappointed with him. Sulking in a corner and all."Whatever. Just let me know what are we doing to hunt this monster down."

Dane was about to walk away when Athena quickly reached out for his arm. Looking over his shoulder, he spoke."I'm going to go there alone, Athena. No one can stop me. Not you either." "I know I can't stop you. He's got on our nerves for sure. But what you can do is let us on this mission as well. You, me, Charlize, Makio and Joule. Maybe Johan and Luke Crysalis too." "What about Chadwick?" Dane immediately enquired."Him too. Because we need to travel at the speed of light, to chase that monster down. Now, I know this monster looks like it likes to play games, but isn't that too much for a mere monster? I feel as if we're trying to hunt nothing.""You think it'll be an easy task because it's a bloody, low grade monster, Athena?" Turning around, Dane looked into her eyes. She nods softly."But weren't you the one who's told me 'never underestimate your opponents'?" "Right...thank you for humbling me." The woman was clearly annoyed. She walked past him while Dane lifts his head to l

"We've lost it! I can't believe we lost it!" Dane held himself back from punching or even stomping the ground for he could demolish the whole building, taking down the residents of it with himself. "You need to calm down, Dane.""The fuck I cannot, Dane. It's an important asset! A new kind that has become such a menace! You know how menacing lightspeed is yourself. And it's punches, it's fight is at least Athena's level."'Liz, I hope you're keeping track of where this monster goes, right?' 'You mean by seeing who it kills next? I'm keeping the face match on.''Okay. The moment you know it's killed someone...and drank their blood. Let me know. At this point, if it keeps killing monster hunters with powers, it'll grow undefeatable. I'm afraid even I—''What are you talking about? That's not the prophecy I know about you! Stop yapping like a child and come back here so we can send you back to where it'll attack next.''Yes.'"You heard her, right Chad?""Yeah. At times of dilemma, yo

Furrowing his eyebrows, Dane didn't really get the signal from Dylan. Why would he need to a build a new counter attack in the robots if monster hunters were more than enough to end monsters?"It's simple logic, thick-skull. My warriors don't have resonances. Chimera do, not my warriors." Dane felt like the most stupid imp ever. Sitting down on the chair again, he questioned Dylan, yet again. "So what do you plan on doing with these?""Create stability. Some monsters could evolve to hide their resonances from us. But my warriors will distinguish them by their attitude. It's easier to find a monster in a crowd full of people than find a human in a crowd full of monsters." Dane jumped his eyebrows at Dylan Dian."That's very much true. And oddly...philosophical. Well, I give you permission to upgrade every single one of them and send them across the globe. Or do you test the prototype first?" "The latter, then the first suggestion. I'd send them without your permission or grant anyway.

Around three weeks after the incident, the monster hunting headquarters was stable with minimal case reports recorded ever. There were barely any monsters emerging from the dead and deed. It felt...blissful."How many cases today?" To the beeping sounds of machines, Charlize asks as she sits over the cushion of a chair opposite to it. Munching on a small snack she could afford from a vending machine, she placed her legs on the desk and waited for the numbers to show up."45 since morning, huh? Well, it's evening already." Charlize then looked down at her lap."Or is this a sign that something big is coming, again? Like the calm before a storm?" "What are you mumbling to yourself there, love?" Dylan Dian speaks after hearing her from the distance. "Thank you for the tea, Dylan." The man chuckles at how she dismisses him. "It's not the calm before the storm. Trust me. This is...peace." Charlize stares into his grey eyes as he nods."Believe it or not. With the power we now have, mons

Eric's POVIt was Rhea banging on my door. I opened it in pure panic, thinking the apocalypse was finally coming to an end. I realized that was an irony in the making. "Come with me." She dragged me away, back to the same restricted access corridor from yesterday. We stood together in the steel corridor while the heavy guards stood at attention near the blast door. Rhea had explicitly told them to turn around and not hear a single word she was about to say. The guards faced the wall and watched the blank metal while I watched Rhea. They respected her that much. At least. She paced back and forth across the floor, looking more distressed than I had ever seen in my entire life. Perhaps that was the most distressed she's ever been herself. Beads of sweat formed rapidly on her pale forehead, and I could hear her own heartbeat pounding loudly from her chest.But...she was taking too much time. Why did she need my company if she didn't wanna talk to me?I sat down heavily on the floor an

Eric's POV[22:00 hours, Bridge of War, Old New York]The transport aircraft hovered quietly over the dark perimeter of Sector Nine, right above the Bridge of War. I stood near the open loading bay, leaning forward against the safety harness as the cold wind whipped against my face.Down below, the last standing human settlement was being... slaughtered.Through the thick haze of smoke, the floodlights revealed a sight that turned my stomach upside down. Thousands of infected had broken through the steel barricades, swarming the narrow streets like a tide of black oil. But they weren't just biting people. They were displaying a terrifying level of deliberate brutality.I watched in absolute horror as three massive, mutated zombies pinned a screaming man to the concrete. One pulled his arms, another grabbed his legs, and with a sickening SNAP, they split his torso clean in two. Intestines and fresh blood spilled across the asphalt, but the creatures didn't care about the meat yet. They

I spent the morning wandering through the 4tg subterranean level, my boots echoing against the cold steel plates. General Victor had officially placed me on a separate training schedule with Commander Rhea Stone, restricted strictly to the late evening hours. Until then, I had explicit permission to roam free within the residential sectors, though the high-security medical bay where Misa was completing her helper training remained strictly off-limits to recruits like me. So, I made my way to her small, minimalist bunker on the upper residential tier, leaning against the cold doorframe and hoping she might pass by during her shift rotation. My mind roamed over everything that was happening—the secret of my blood, the terrifying evolution of the horde outside, and the strange, unreadable woman who was about to become my combat partner.My internal train of thought broke when I spotted her walking down the hallway. Misa was hurrying toward her bunker, a deep, troubled scowl carved into

The third subdivision was quiet at this hour, illuminated only by the faint, pulsing glow of overhead emergency strips. I was making my way back down the central catwalk when a small figure stepped out from behind a concrete pillar. It was Misa. Her dark hair was pulled back into a practical ponytail, and her eyes immediately dropped down to my right hand."Eric," she whispered, stepping closer and reaching out to touch my fingers. "I saw what happened on the sand stage today. Your knuckles were split completely open. How is your hand?"I uncurled my palm and held it up under the dim lights. The deep gashes that should have taken weeks to close were already fading into thin, faint pink lines. The raw flesh had knit itself back together with unnatural speed, leaving behind only the ghost of an injury.Misa gasped softly, her eyes widening as she gently traced her thumb near the scabbed skin. "That's... that's impossible, Eric. How are they already healing like this?"I pulled my hand

The silence on the training floor was absolute. Not a single recruit dared to breathe. Not a single boot shifted in the coarse, damp sand. The harsh, metallic echo of broken steel chains slamming against the far stone wall slowly died down, leaving behind a suffocating, heavy quiet that hung over the entire underground arena like thick, toxic smoke.Rhea Stone stood completely frozen beside the raised concrete stage, her mouth slightly open. Her dark eyes darted frantically from the smoking, maxed-out digital power sensor down to my dripping, bloody knuckles. For 3 long seconds, the cold, invincible commander vanished entirely, replaced by a woman who looked utterly bewildered by the sheer display of kinetic force she had just witnessed.She reached up with a slightly trembling hand, pressing her thumb against the comms unit mounted to her tactical collar."Medical bay, this is Commander Stone," Rhea said, her voice dropping into a tense, rapid clip that cut through the eerie silence

The next morning at 6 sharp, the heavy neon lights flickered to life over the vast, sandy floor of the 7th subterranean level. My body was still aching from yesterday’s punishment detail, but I kept my posture tall and relaxed as we recruits fled into formation.I casually glanced up toward the dark balcony railing on the 6th floor observation deck. Behind the glare of the heavy industrial floodlights, I caught sight of Misa standing near the edge. She wasn't alone though. Right beside her stood Sarah, holding baby Hope wrapped tightly in a soft thermal blanket.Misa looked down at me through the hazy light and offered a knowing, gentle smile.I smirked softly to myself, stepping into line. Sarah must have told Misa everything about what I did on that rope ladder and how her daughter was brought into the world. It was a strange, grounding feeling knowing there were two people up there rootin' for me in a place built on military coldness.A sharp, deafening blast from a silver whistle
