"Is his brain dead or something..." "What's with this kid, are we supposed to be scared of him..." "Ooiii, kid. I don't know if you've noticed but you're massively outnumbered here, or maybe you're just high on our stuff!" The gang erupted into another frenzy of laughter. Tch! 'I hate being laughed at.' I kept my head low, waiting to see if they would have a change of heart and retreat. "Ooiii, Joh. Go pat him down first, see if he has any weapon on him" One of the goons ordered, seemingly the second in command of the White Vortex and the head of the goons. "Aiit". 'Don't come any closer'. I thought, for some reason I wanted to warn him and also wanted to kick his butt. 'Dont come any closer'. "Don't come any closer". I finally said with a low baritone voice. The goon who was on his way to search me screeched to a stop and suddenly a smile spread across his face. "For Christ sake, these teenagers nowadays feel like they're some kind of big shot because they're working for

The second in command was still on the floor, clenching his punctured stomach. I looked at him without feeling any form of pity. "Don't worry, you won't bleed out and die. Just take a clothe and apply pressure on it... Then, wait for an ambulance to get here". He nodded as tears silently rolled down his eyes. "Your boss, is that his safe room?" I asked pointing to the exit Huáng Song made earlier. "Yes... Yes!" "Very well..." I made a beeline for the exit with both hands in my pocket. It was a metal door through and through, I used the tip of my sneakers to hit it several times to determine its thickness.It was thick, probably bullet proof. I pushed the door open with both hands with a substantial amount of strength, although I was extremely surprised it wasn't locked. 'Isn't a safe room supposed to locked in case of situations like this?' I thought as I stepped into the room. There was no light whatsoever, it was also cold like a freezer but not too cold to turn your fles
Chapter 23
Huáng Song extracted another blade from his hips and smirked derisively at me."Skill: Void Step" I watched his body disintegrate swiftly into dust like particles and just like that he was gone. I glanced around with shock written all over my face. How I'm I supposed to fight someone I cannot even see. "Let me teach you a thing or two kid..." His voice range out, it was as if he was right in my ear and everywhere at once. 'So that's how he was able to stab me without seeing it coming!'.I kept looking around, hoping he would pop out somewhere and just when I thought I heard something from another angle of the room, a slashing strike hit across my back. "Argghhh!!!" A scream escaped my mouth as blood squirted from my behind. It was some form of teleportation mechanism that allowed him to jump from one location to the other without any medium. It wasn't like my Cloaking Skill, it was different. My Cloaking Skill bends light to make me look transparent to the human eye. But this,

Ellie and Jake. They were right there, although alot more conscious than I left them. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggghhhh" Ellie screamed again, the room was mostly empty so her loud scream was even further amplified as they bounced off the walls of the room. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggghhhh" And again. The third scream didn't affect me like the earlier two, so I just stood and watched them. "Did you see how fast he moved... " Jake muttered, his eyes were still staring at the lifeless Huang Song. So at this point, I think they saw most of the fight, if not all of it. 'For Christ sakes it's getting harder and harder to keep this secret'. I spread both palms wide as a sign of 'meaning no harm', "Guys I can explain..." I said with a shaky voice. "You killed somebody...!" Jake yelled with look of shock etched in his eyes. "I can explain... He was gonna kill me too, I was defending my self" I said taking a step forward. They both took a step backwards in retreat.

The next few minutes were just them asking questions they have already asked before and I just sat there answering them. I couldn't blame them, they were completely left in the loop by their best friend. I think I too would be filled with so many questions after witnessing something like that. We finished up and left the diner before midnight and we all dispersed away separate ways. What an evening I was having, it was crazy. I was extremely tired — mentally and sleepy as well. Opening the door to my room, I wondered if the second in command of the White Vortex would out me to the police even after I had given him a thorough orientation. Well, even if he did, the police would report it to the ISA and they would flag it as another unidentified rogue metahuman. ***Beep, beep, beep. My alarm blared at the usual time — 6:15 a.m.I was already awake at this point, my mind racing, recalling what has happened the previous day. It was at the moment it dawned on me that I intentionall

The sound of chatter and footsteps filled a dimly lit space, the air was thick with the stench of putrefaction, decay, rotting flesh. It was distinct, offensive to the core and festering. The underground lair stretched endlessly beneath the ruins of an old abandoned cathedral, its stone walls were carved with grotesque depictions and images of suffering and death. There were torch lights, but made out of fire so it didn't do much lumination as one would like. Shadows moved unnaturally in the dim glow, shifting like living creatures against the stone walls. There were the Howl Minions, Gravehowls devoted and loyal subjects. They were a mix of mindless undead and those twisted by his corruption. Their bodies were wrapped in slickly grey flesh stretched too tight over fragile looking bones, their mouths permanently curled into snarls. Their eyes, hollow and black all through, reflecting nothing but the image of their master. At the center of it all, Gravehowl sat on a throne of dens
Chapter 27
My eyes darted towards the entrance to the living room and back at my friends. "We have to get to the roof!" I said with urgency. I immediately scrambled through the fallen furniture in the living room and made my way to the exit, closing in behind me was Jake, moving ever so purposefully. We turned around to see Ellie standing still at the exact spot she was, fidgeting with fear. The vase she held in her hands trembling as her body shook in rhythm with the trembling earth. I stared into her eyes and swung my head, giving her "let's go" sign. She stood still. "Ellie let's go!" Jake yelled. "I'm not going out there!" She shot back immediately. "Didn't you see what the lady on the news said?! Undead creatures and Tempest Wolf is nowhere to be found!!""Ellie, with or without Tempest Wolf we have to do something. We are Heroes!!" I said with my palms wide open to give her a sense of comfort. "I'm not going out there, doing community service and helping people as an E-class hero is

"This fog! What does it do?!" Jake shouted, his voice straining over the eerie, deafening noises echoing from the city below."I don't know yet... Let's find out!" I called back, my eyes narrowing as I accessed the system."System!"[Attentive!]"That thick, dark fog—what can you tell me about it?"Tti-ring. Tti-ring. Tti-ring.The system chimed with its usual symphony of intricate, mechanical tones, signaling an active analysis.My HUD zoomed in on the dense cloud overhead, and in an instant, it was as if the system had plucked a single atom from the mist, isolating it for scrutiny.[Analysis of unknown compound has begun >>>>]"Yes..." I murmured, anticipation creeping into my voice."Well? I thought you said your suit knows virtually everything?" Jake called out impatiently."Hold on, dummy!" I rolled my eyes and refocused on the task at hand.The system twisted and rotated the glowing image of the captured atom, dissecting every microscopic detail, searching for an explanation for

Jake climbed onto my back without hesitation, locking his arms securely around my shoulders."Come out!" I commanded.With a mechanical whir, my Rocket Boosters deployed from the sole of my feet and to my surprise the suit’s backplate, venting a burst of golden-hot exhaust. The rooftop beneath us cracked from the force, sending dust and debris scattering.BOOM!We shot into the sky like a space rocket, cutting through the thick, toxin-laden fog. The city below was a nightmare; fires raging, infected swarming the streets, their hollow moansseemingly blending into the chaos. "How long till we get there?" Jake shouted over the roar of the thrusters."Two minutes if we don’t get intercepted!" I replied, eyes locked on the ISA Research Lab’s coordinates flashing on my HUD.My motion sensors flared red.[Compass Needle Activated!][Compass Needle Activated!][Compass Needle Activated!][Compass Needle Activated!][Compass Needle Activated!][Compass Needle Activated!]X50.Damn it.A squa

I slammed my limbs together, and from the conjunction of both arms, a massive cannon-like weapon formed, pulsating with energy.A golden spark flickered, then roared to life like a whirring engine. In the next instant, an enormous surge of power blasted out from the cannon.The sheer intensity of the light rivaled that of the sun, painting the landscape in a blinding glow. In one overwhelming sweep, the herd of minions was completely erased, not a single trace left behind.I exhaled, lowering my arms as residual heat radiated off my suit. "Ultra-Cannon Incinerate..." I muttered, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips. "I like that."A familiar notification chimed.[New Adaptation Saved: Ultra-Cannon Incinerate.]"Oh?"Before I could revel in my newfound power, another notification flashed across my HUD.[Antidote Formula Success Rate Calculation Complete!]My heart leaped. Finally."Yes! I might as well walk into the building and hand the formula to them myself!"Bbarrigghhhh!A lou
