Ryker narrowed his eyes at her and slapped her hands away from his chest. “You’re just trying to fuck me,” he muttered coldly. “I’m not that stupid.”

She scoffed, tilting her head slightly. “Would it be bad if I am?”

“Stop with the bullshit,” he replied, dropping his gaze briefly as if trying to steady his thoughts. “There’s no way I’m remembering anything like this.”

“Who knows,” she said, gripping his collar and pulling him closer before pressing her lips firmly against his.

  • CHAPTER 19: Pleasure Before Collapse

    Ryker narrowed his eyes at her and slapped her hands away from his chest. “You’re just trying to fuck me,” he muttered coldly. “I’m not that stupid.”She scoffed, tilting her head slightly. “Would it be bad if I am?”“Stop with the bullshit,” he replied, dropping his gaze briefly as if trying to steady his thoughts. “There’s no way I’m remembering anything like this.”“Who knows,” she said, gripping his collar and pulling him closer before pressing her lips firmly against his.His body reacted before his mind could object. He pulled back slightly and stared at her. “You’re really crazy,” he said under his breath, his hands sliding along her sides.“Ummm, daddy. Don’t stop,” she whispered, her voice low and taunting.He pulled her closer until their bodies pressed together. “I know you’re trying to use me,” he murmured near her ear. “But I’ll play along until I figure out what you really want.”“Wait… what?” she asked, pushing him back as her expression shifted.He frowned. “That’s not

  • CHAPTER 18: Chains Disguised As Generosity

    Dr. Clark looked up from behind his desk the moment Ryker stepped into the office, and a polished smile spread across his face as if they were partners instead of captor and weapon.“Welcome back,” Dr. Clark said smoothly. “I trust the mission went as expected.”Ryker did not respond. He stood there with his usual unreadable expression, hands at his sides, waiting for the real reason he had been summoned.Dr. Clark lifted a check from the desk and extended it across to him. “Here is your paycheck for the month,” he continued. “You’ve been efficient.”Ryker took the check without examining the amount written on it and turned toward the door. To him, money meant nothing in this building. It was just another chain disguised as a reward.He was a step away from exiting the doorway when Dr. Clark’s voice came behind him.“Aren’t you even going to ask about your sister?”Ryker stopped instantly. His back remained turned for a second before he slowly faced the desk again, his eyes sharpenin

  • CHAPTER 17: The Man Behind The Scope

    Ryker pressed himself against the concrete pillar and opened his system interface, his eyes scanning through the arsenal with sharp concentration. But there was nothing inside that could directly counter a long range sniper who had already locked down the angle. No anti ballistic override. No trajectory scramble. No counter scope jammer.He leaned slightly to check the opposite building.A bullet tore past his face and slammed into the wall beside him.He jerked back immediately.“Fuck,” he muttered under his breath. “What the hell do I do now?”He thought back on all his battles—the system always stepped in whenever things got too tough. Why's nothing happening now?He exhaled slowly and forced himself to think instead of panic. Every time he moved even an inch into the sniper’s line of sight, a round came flying. The shooter was patient. Calculated. Not rushing.Ryker narrowed his eyes and began counting quietly to himself.“One.”A shot fired.“Two.”Another.“Three.”The concrete

  • CHAPTER 16: Dead Men Don't Answer

    Ryker barely had time to turn before the man’s voice carried down the corridor, smooth and faintly impressed.“I didn’t think you’d be able to defeat my precious work.”Ryker stopped.The man with the scar stood a few paces away, hands folded behind his back, posture relaxed as if he were inspecting equipment rather than standing over the remains of a dismantled weapon. His eyes lingered briefly on his subject, then lifted to Ryker’s face.“But now that I’ve caught you,” the man went on, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, “I’ll configure you to be my loyal dog.”Ryker said nothing. His chest rose and fell steadily, his senses still sharpened from the fight. “Since we’ve not been formally introduced,” the man said, inclining his head slightly, “I’m Dr. Stark Wilson.”The name settled into the air.At the same moment, Ryker’s system flashed fully into view.STATUS: STABLEMETA-NEUTRALIZATION: PARTIAL FAILUREHis eyes flicked briefly to the notification, then back to Stark. The

    The man with the scar didn't wait for an answer.“So,” he said lightly, already turning away, “I’ll leave the room to you two.”The door slid shut behind him with a dull metallic sound that lingered longer than it should have. The silence that followed was heavier than before, thick enough that The big man moved.He stepped forward in slow, measured strides, boots heavy against the floor. There was no rush in him, no wasted motion, no visible anger. Just intent. Ryker straightened, brushing his side once where the earlier blow had landed. The pain was there, dull and persistent, but manageable. He took a step back, eyes tracking the man’s movements, cataloging distance and angle the way instinct demanded.That was when he noticed it.At first, it was subtle. A faint distortion at the edge of his hearing, like static caught between stations. It grew sharper as the man came closer, a constant, unnatural hum that did not belong to muscle or breath or blood. Ryker’s brow furrowed as he

  • CHAPTER 14: Red In His Eyes

    “There’s no way I’m leaving without you,” Ryker's voice thundered enough to rattle ears.Henry lay on the floor where he had fallen, one hand pressed uselessly against the metal band locked around his neck. The green light pulsed steadily.“Ryker,” Henry said, low. “Don’t be—”Ryker closed his eyes.The noise faded. The alarms, the shouting, the scrape of boots against concrete all dulled as his focus narrowed inward. He took a slow breath, felt it settle, and when he opened his eyes again, the system unfolded across his vision.Data scrolled clean and sharp.Armory access opened with a silent confirmation.Ryker filtered fast. Then he stopped.SHORT SWORD.He selected it without hesitation.Metal formed in his hand, solid and balanced, the weight familiar as it settled into his grip. He rolled his wrist once, feeling the edge align with his movement.Across the room, one of the men laughed.He had a long knife scar cutting from the corner of his mouth toward his ear, the skin pulled
