Chapter 21. The Algorithm of Will
"Don't die now or I will hunt your soul down to the deepest hell, Arlo."Axel whispered the words in a hoarse voice that was barely audible beneath the hiss of the ventilator. The ICU in Sector Six felt like a giant freezer, heavy with the scent of death and sharp antiseptic. He stood beside the iron hospital bed, staring at the frail body of his friend beneath the white hospital blanket.Arlo's face was ghostly pale. His cheekbones jutted out sharply, as if the skin could no longer bear the burden of covering the skull beneath. Above his forehead, a red neon number pulsed at a terrifying speed, counting down the existence of the man who owned the body.[REMAINING LIFESPAN: 00:00:26:04]The time continued to shrink. Each passing second felt like a sledgehammer slamming into Axel's chest.His vision trembled. The silver nanites that had seeped into his optic nerves back in the old warehouse were beginning to work more aggressively. The world was no longer a normal three dimensional spa

Chapter 22. The Cost of Mercy
"Why does your face look older overnight, Axel?"Arlo gripped Axel's shoulder with fingers that now carried strength. They stood in the choking poisonous fog of Sector Zero. A flickering mercury lamp in the distance reflected a silver glint at the corner of Axel's eye.Axel's breathing was ragged, as if he had just run a marathon across a continent. He felt every inch of his skin loosening. Fine wrinkles appeared around his eyes, and a dull ache settled deep in his bones. A small patch of hair at his left temple had turned completely white, stark against the darkness of the night surrounding them."None of your business. Just keep walking," Axel snapped.He pulled away from Arlo's grip and continued guiding his friend deeper into the dark alleyway that led into an abandoned repair shop. Arlo refused to let it go. He stopped walking, causing Axel to nearly fall when the sudden support vanished.Arlo stared at him with a mixture of horror and suspici

Chapter 23. The Gray Alliance
"Do you want to die as a hero or a bastard, Ben?"Inspector Vayu's deep voice cut through the noise of rain hammering the tin roof of the logistics warehouse. Axel blinked. His vision was still shattered into thousands of gray pixels dancing wildly. In the corner of his retina, a red progress bar flickered.System 2.0 was forcing a reboot after his stability had fallen below fifty percent.He tried to move his arm, but his muscles felt like wet cement hardening in place."I'm not a hero, and I'm not Ben," Axel growled, his voice scraping like sandpaper against concrete.He forced his body upright and threw a desperate punch toward Vayu's jaw. The inspector did not move much. He tilted his head slightly, caught Axel's wrist, and twisted it behind his back with a precise locking motion.Axel groaned as his face was pressed against the cold, wet asphalt. The smell of diesel and dirt filled his nose."Save your strength for those thugs."Vayu released him just as the two bionic guards cha

Chapter 24. Bloody Regeneration
"Don't give up, Ben! Fight!"Vayu's voice was muffled by the thunder of bullets slamming into the metal containers in front of Axel. Axel groaned, his body curled on the cold concrete floor. Inside his head, Goran's voice echoed like a damaged radio transmission broadcast directly into his central nervous system. The voice was cold, mechanical, and filled with undeniable authority."You are nothing but a defective prototype, Axel. Return to sleep mode or I will detonate your synapses from here."Axel clutched his head. Silver fluid began leaking from his ear, dripping onto the floor. The red notifications on his retina flickered wildly, covering his vision with repeating warning text.Goran was not physically present, yet his presence felt like an invisible hand squeezing Axel's brain from afar through an old encrypted network.[EXTERNAL INTERVENTION: 88%][MOTOR LOCK INITIATED]"To hell with you, Goran!"Axel roared.He forced his trembling hand to touch the central console in front

Chapter 25. Redemption at Dock 7
"Never think you can run from your own destiny, Axel."Goran's voice echoed from the workshop's intercom speaker, a system that had been dead for years. Axel turned sharply toward the dusty ceiling, but he found only oppressive silence among the hanging wires.He stood frozen in the middle of the ruined room, staring at the blood message still damp on the concrete wall.A cold anger began creeping from his bone marrow to the tips of his fingers. He clenched his fists, feeling the dense and responsive new muscle beneath his tightened skin. System 2.0 had promised him an extraordinary life, yet every inch of this physical advancement felt like a betrayal of the last pieces of his own humanity.[SURVIVAL PROBABILITY AT DOCK 7: 12%]The silver notification appeared across his retina, blinking with an irritating rhythm. Axel snorted harshly and wiped the dried blood from the corner of his mouth. He hated the numerical analysis that reduced his friend's life to nothing more than cheap stati

Chapter 26. Barricades of Rain and Lead
“Stay alive or I will hunt your soul to hell, Ben!”Vayu shouted from behind the wheel of the black SUV as it slammed into a barricade of shipping containers with a deafening crash. Axel flinched, trying to focus his blurred vision. Oxygen felt thin in his lungs. The effect of instantly losing twenty five years of his lifespan assaulted his nerves like thousands of burning needles driven into his bone marrow. His once jet black hair was now streaked with coarse gray at the temples. Deep lines of exhaustion carved across his face, transforming the athletic young man into a middle aged figure who looked as if he carried the weight of the world.“Vayu? How did you get here?” Axel asked, his voice hoarse and nearly breaking.“Your nanite frequency tracker is still active on my tab, idiot,” Vayu replied as he jumped out of the vehicle.Vayu unleashed a barrage from his twin automatic weapons at Goran’s men who were closing in. His movements were tactical and cold. He was no longer wearing

Chapter 27. The Blood Legacy of Benjamin
“You think you are alive because of a miracle from God, Axel?”Vayu threw out the words as he slammed a stack of physical archives onto the iron table. The impact echoed against the cold concrete walls of the bunker. Axel snapped out of his thoughts. He stared at his own palm, now covered with fine wrinkles and spots of premature aging. His breathing was still heavy, the aftermath of the battle at Dock 7 that had stolen twenty five years of his youth. The underground room felt suffocating, lit only by the yellow glow of flickering tube monitors. No signal could penetrate the lead lined walls.“You mean my life is nothing more than a laboratory project?” Axel asked bitterly.“Worse than that,” Vayu replied as he connected a manual transmission cable to the port at the back of Axel’s neck. “My father, Dr. Adrian, wrote that Damian Benjamin did something impossible when you were seventeen.”Arlo, who sat in the corner of the room, spoke quietly. His face was pale, but his eyes looked at

Chapter 28. The Resonance of Cursed Blood
“Cover your ears now or your brain will melt!”Vayu shouted the warning as he lunged toward Axel and Arlo, knocking all three of them onto the cold concrete floor. A high frequency vibration suddenly slammed into the bunker walls with an intensity that defied reason. This was not a gunpowder explosion. The sound resembled the scream of thousands of shattered glass shards erupting inside their eardrums. The door control panel exploded violently, spraying blue sparks that ignited a pile of papers nearby. Axel groaned while pressing both palms tightly over his ears. The pain did not stop at his hearing.“My blood is burning, Vayu! What are they doing?” Axel roared through the deafening noise.Vayu rose with a tense expression while checking the biometric indicators on his wrist device. He saw the veins in Axel’s neck bulging, glowing with a faint silver light that pulsed irregularly.“Blood resonance,” Vayu replied grimly. “Goran does not need a radio signal to find you. He is using Syst

Chapter 29. The Church of Sinners
“Do you smell that rusted metal scent, Axel?”Vayu whispered as he kicked open the iron grate at the end of the drainage pipe. The outside air rushed in, heavy and oily. Axel did not answer. He simply tightened his grip on Arlo’s shivering body draped over his shoulder. They crawled out into a narrow alley flanked by ten meter concrete walls. There were no blinding blue neon lights here. The sky of Sector Seven was covered by industrial soot that hung permanently like a gray funeral shroud.“Sector Seven is not exactly friendly to pure human lungs,” Vayu continued, wiping sweat from his forehead.“But at least my nerves stopped pounding like they are being hammered,” Axel replied quietly.Their footsteps echoed across the cracked asphalt road. Axel deliberately let Vayu walk three steps ahead. His still glowing violet eyes caught the silhouette of the blue notebook in Vayu’s cargo pocket with predatory preci

Chapter 30. Forbidden Symbiosis
“Stop your heart right now or you will kill all of us!”Vayu shouted as he tried to restrain Axel’s body, which had begun convulsing violently on the church balcony. The violet light in Axel’s eyes no longer glowed steadily but flickered wildly like a failing circuit lamp. The church roof trembled under the pressure of the combat drones’ jet engines hovering low above them. The deafening noise of bionic propellers drowned out the frightened sobs rising from the floor below. Axel collapsed onto the ground, clutching his chest as if it were being struck by a sledgehammer.“The system will not stop, Vayu!” Axel groaned hoarsely. “It demands power!”Right in his retina, a glowing red digital number flashed with a warning that threatened his existence.[CRITICAL STATUS: ENERGY 0.02%][WARNING: SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN IN 60 SECONDS][SEARCH FOR EMERGENCY HOST OR ERASE ALL MEMORY DATA]Damian’s voice inside Axel’s head laughed coldly. Its tone shifted into a static frequency that stabbed at hi
