Chapter 13: Cursed City(1)
The mission cards left everyone silent. No one said a word for several seconds. The shock was obvious."Wait a second… That mission was scheduled for next week. What happened?" Suse asked, breaking the silence with a frown."Yeah, cutie, it was. But it looks like Agent R9's research team was wiped out," Slavik replied, his tone now more serious."That can't be. If something like that had happened, we would've been notified. What exactly did you do?" Suse said, visibly annoyed."I did what any responsible leader would do: I accepted the mission on the spot. Any problem with that?" Slavik shot back without hesitation.His cocky grin was starting to make everyone uncomfortable. That's when Jasper spoke up."What kind of leader puts his team at risk without thinking? To me, you're just a show-off. I didn't know Neo X had someone like you in charge."Jasper stepped forward, standing firm."Wow, the newbie's got some guts. You're Neo 7, right? I heard you showed up four days ago. Well, sorr
Chapter 12: Complete Team
Lin didn't back down and launched a kick at Jasper, but Jasper swiftly stepped back and deflected it with his hand."Not bad, Neo 7! You've gotten stronger. But... aren't you a little too cocky for calling me weak?" Lin snapped, throwing another strike.This time, Jasper didn't retreat. He lunged forward, clashing his claws against Lin's.("In the cave, my copy was physically stronger than the XCP. Let's see if that still applies.") Jasper thought, gritting his teeth and increasing the pressure on Lin."You bastard, what the hell are you doing?!" Lin shouted as he watched his claws begin to crack.The theory was correct. Jasper's claws were stronger.Realizing he was at a disadvantage, Lin quickly backed off, taking several steps away while his claws slowly regenerated."Wow, Snow... I've got to admit, you're impressive," she said with a faint smile.Jasper stepped forward calmly, never taking his eyes off her."I'm glad you haven't been wasting your time."But then, a familiar voice
Chapter 11: Neo 7 is back
"Come on, Neo 7... You were a fool to come here. If you were some kind of spy or something, it clearly didn't end well for you."E7 stared at him coldly, his eyes sharp like blades.Jasper was on his knees, panting. His body wasn't responding properly—he felt like he was breaking apart from the inside out.("It's like I've got several tons crushing me… like my body's being torn apart.")Blood poured from his nose, his eyes, and his mouth, pooling into a dark puddle at his feet. He could barely stay upright."Honestly, you almost had me fooled, kid. I'll admit it. I don't even remember when you showed up... Maybe you were the one Agent 6790 dragged in. Either way, I'll let you explain. I'm not that heartless."E7 smiled faintly and snapped his fingers.Instantly, all the blood that had spilled surged back into Jasper's body, as if time had been rewound. The pain vanished. The pressure in his chest lifted. But just as he tried to sit up, an invisible force slammed him back to his knees.
Chapter 10: Death Proof(4)
"Shit, those sons of bitches!" Jasper shouted, furious. In front of him, the XCP inside the cave stared as if it already knew how he was going to die.The monster's arms extended from the walls like living tentacles, reaching for him, trying to drag him into the darkness.("I see... those aren't just arms. They're extensions of the cave itself. This cave is the creature...") Jasper thought, struggling to escape its grasp.As it overwhelmed him, the XCP released even more arms. Without hesitation, Jasper pulled out his pistol and aimed directly at one of the creature's eyes."Son of a bitch—fuck you!"BAM!BAM!The cave trembled. The arm holding him convulsed violently before collapsing. Jasper fell to the ground, gasping for air."Okay... I need to get out of here..."He forced himself to his feet, but not without paying the price—one of the claws had slashed his leg. Limping, he pushed forward, ignoring the pain."I just have to..."But in his desperation, he lost sight of the breath
Chapter 9: Death Proof(3)
"Holy shit, no joke, that thing actually came out of the wall!"The inmate's scream erupted as he sprinted alongside Jasper. The stone corridors echoed with desperate footsteps. In seconds, the entire group had scattered, breaking formation without a second thought."Wait!" Jasper shouted, panting. "Running without a plan isn't going to help!"But his voice vanished in the chaos. As he passed inmates 17, 22, and 33, a memory flashed uninvited through his mind.(This is just like school... when that thing appeared... and I could only watch...)A wave of helplessness hit him—but this time, he refused to freeze."What are you saying? Screw the plan! All we need is for that thing to stick its hand out again, and we'll snap it in two!" yelled the sword-wielding inmate, his voice full of adrenaline and rage.Jasper frowned. It wasn't fear—it was frustration. Around him, the others were running through tunnels, disappearing into shadow. Only the four of them remained.Inmate 33 eyed Jasper,
Chapter 8: Death Proof(2)
Everyone went quiet the moment E7 raised his voice. All attention in the room locked on him. Something big was coming."Don't act surprised!" shouted the man with a crooked smile, arms wide open like he was welcoming them to a twisted party. "You all know why you're here. Human trash... You were given one last chance to escape death."Jasper swallowed hard. His eyes scanned the other inmates in green. He was surrounded by criminals. He didn't know what was coming, but one thing was clear: if he wanted to improve, he had to survive."Today, Agent ICE's squad brought in something special," E7 continued, pacing back and forth with manic energy. "An XCP… something different. A beast. One that cost us blood and lives."His voice grew louder, the tension thickening like a storm about to break. Then he held up one finger."One. I want you to figure out what its ability is."A second finger went up, that manic grin never leaving his face."Two. Find out if it has any weaknesses. Or if it even
