Chapter 1: Absolute Betrayal
Drop him! I swear to if there's any God, drop him now! The scream tore through the concrete of the safe zone and was quickly drowned out by the sickening crunch of bone. Creed slammed his back against a steel pillar his breath coming in ragged gasps. He pressed a hand to his ribs. Three were broken. Maybe four. The pain was blinding and hot. It was nothing compared to the cold realization washing over him as he watched the scene unfold. You weren't supposed to be alive Creed Vane spat, wiping a smear of blood from his jaw. The called elite Vanguard leader didn't even look at Creed as he casually kicked their medical supplies into his bag. The System gave you a low-class maintenance job. You are weight. We needed bait to distract the horde. You were the only logical choice. Noooooo! Creed's voice cracked, his throat raw from the dust. His eyes locked onto the heavy iron blast doors at the end of the corridor. The locking mechanism was already mangled the thick steel groaning under
Chapter 2 Shattered Steel
You have to keep moving. If you stop you will die.The sound of the facility falling apart was really loud. It sounded like a big machine was dying. Creed made himself move forward his boots scraping against the concrete. Above him, a weird light was pulsing. It was a purple color and it made long strange shadows on the walls of Sub-Level 7.Creed could see a countdown in the corner of his eye. It said he had 47 hours, 52 minutes and 11 seconds left.The air was thick with smells. It smelled like ozone. Burned copper and something else that was really bad. Creed was wearing a suit that helped him breathe. The suit was made of a material called Void-Weave. It made the bad air clean so Creed could breathe it in. Without the suit, the bad air would have already hurt his lungs badly.The suit could not fix his legs.Creed's leg hurt a lot. It hurt because a big man named Kaelith had hit him with a warhammer. The system had fixed Creed's bone. It was not a good fix. The system just wanted
Chapter 3: Face Slapping Reality
The rain was not like water. It felt like someone was pouring hate over the place. It came down from the sky in grayish-green sheets. The smell was bad like sulfur and old rotten metal. When it hit the ground in the military courtyard it did not make a splashing sound. It hissed and a bad yellow fog came up from the ground. It was like a blanket that would not let go.Creed just stood there still as can be, outside the big metal doors of the bunker. He let the bad rain fall over him. He watched as the rain hit his black armor. The water just slid off like it was nothing. The armor was protected by an energy field that kept the bad water from hurting it. Creed did not feel cold or hot. He just felt his heart beating. The air was going in and out of his lungs.Fifty yards away the other three guys from the Vanguard team were having a bad time.They were hiding behind a broken truck. The truck was falling apart. The rain was eating through the roof. It was dripping bad water all over the
Chapter 4: The Sanctuary Blueprint
Fifty-two minutes was all the time Creed had.The holographic timer in the right corner of his vision was flashing a violent red color.He had to get ready before the wave of refugees led by the Vanguard elites who had left him for dead arrived at his location.Creed ran down the ramp into the subterranean bunker.His boots hit the stone floor so hard that they cracked it.He did not stop to catch his breath because he did not have time to be tired.His lungs were still in pain. He was already thinking about what to do next.He was looking at the space and thinking about where the bad guys could attack from.The bunker was like a tomb. It was going to be closed soon.The big blast doors at the top of the ramp had been blown off weeks ago.The entrance was like a hole that was open to the bad air outside.If the refugees came in through that hole they would bring the sickness and the monsters with them.They would take over the bunker in seconds because there were many of them.Creed s
Chapter 5: Reckoning Silence
The bunker made a humming noise. It was like a heartbeat. Made of metal and energy. Outside it looked like a tomb.. For the thousands of people trying to get in it was a cruel joke.Inside Creed watched on monitors. He saw people desperate to get in their faces contorted in fear. He saw blood and broken dreams.He didn't feel happy or angry. He felt clear like he had finally cleaned up his garden.A huge monster, the Abyssal Behemoth emerged from the fog. It was a mountain of flesh and bone fifty feet tall. It warped gravity. Swatted a group of scouts like they were toys.Kaelen, a tank was stuck in the mud. He looked up at the camera pleading for mercy. Creed just crossed his arms. Watched. He had spent three years fixing the elites' systems. Now they were being erased.Creed felt something when he saw a woman with a child. She was hitting the blast doors hoping to get in. He knew that look. He had worn it too.He didn't open the door. If he did the people would crush the bunker. Tea
Chapter 6: Golden Chains
It is in my blood Kaelith screamed, ripping at his rusty armor as the golden light poured into his veins.He was really scared.Get it out get it out he shouted.Hold the line you cowards Vane roared, swinging a sword at the air his eyes wide with fear.It is a system glitch he said.Do not let it touch you.The golden light did not care about their screams.It just kept coming, like a wave of thick heavy liquid.It moved with a purpose burning away the air and the yellow fog of the Entropy Plague.Creed watched them from the security monitors in the bunker.He sat still in his chair his hands on the console.He was connected to the bunker like he was a part of it.He could feel the walls and the beams. He could feel the people outside.They were like broken machines to him. He wanted to fix them.The visitor who had talked to him earlier was gone.Creed leaned closer to the monitor.Out in the courtyard, Silas fell to his knees in the mud.The golden light wrapped around his swords a
Chapter 7: Iron Forged
The Abyssal Heart did not want to move. It just hung there three feet above the concrete of the courtyard. This thing was huge a jagged rock of black and gold crystal. It was making the air around it feel thick, like water.Creed stood in front of it his kinetic staff stuck in the mud. He was breathing hard. His mana was almost gone two percent left. The golden light on his Void-Weave carapace was barely shining now just a faint yellow.He had just beatenen a boss one that was supposed to take a whole team of strong players to defeat.. He did it almost by himself.Now he had to move. The Architect of the East was coming to tear everything down.Move Creed said to himself his voice echoing in his helmet.He reached out with his hand and his muscles hurt. He used his bit of willpower to control the Sanctuary. The big Sovereign Blast Gates. Three beams of blue energy grabbed the Abyssal Heart.The crystal started to vibrate making a humming noise. Then it slowly began to move towards the
