KAI THE REBORN 33 (THE DETECTIVE 3)
KAIThe other detective said something I couldn't quite hear. Detective Yun nodded. Made notes."—if there's a serial killer operating, we need to find them before they kill again—"Serial killer.That's what I was. What I'd become.And Detective Malia Yun was hunting me.I sat in Ricky's car across from the diner. Watching her work. Watching her try to find me.Trying to stop me from killing again.She was the good guy. The hero of this story.And I was the monster she was hunting.The Seven wanted her dead because she was close. Because she might figure it out. Might expose their operation, my operation and now I have to kill her to stop her from exposing me? No, no no, this was not how this shit was supposed to go. I can't kill her based on that alone, how can I save her from myself and from them? I know exactly wha the consquence of my disobedience was and with this detective a part of me still insisted on taking the risk. If I do that now, who or what would the seven be taking fr
KAI THE REBORN 32 (THE DETECTIVE 2)
KAIMy phone buzzed.Ricky: Where are you? We were supposed to meet at the gym an hour ago.Shit. I'd forgotten. We'd planned to celebrate the Chen Wei win properly. Dinner with the guys. Normal friend stuff.Me: Sorry, something came up. Can we reschedule?Ricky: Everything okay?Me: Yeah. Just dealing with some family stuff.Ricky: Your mom?Me: Yeah.The lie came easy. Too easy.Ricky: Okay. Let me know if you need anything.Me: Will do.I put the phone down. Looked back at Detective Yun's window.She was eating dinner. Alone. Just her and the TV.Did she have family? Friends? Someone who'd miss her when she was gone?Of course she did. Everyone did.Just like Victor's kids missed him. David's daughter missed him. Marcus's wife missed him.I'd created that absence. That grief. That hole in people's lives.And I was being asked to do it again.To someone who might not deserve it.Day two of following her.Danny called while I was sitting outside her apartment at 7 AM."Yo! Where you
KAI THE REBORN 31 (THE DETECTIVE)
KAII'd been sitting there for two hours. Holding her hand. Talking to her about nothing. About Mira's test scores. About the weather. About anything except the fact that I'd killed three people and was waiting for the system to tell me to kill a fourth.Then it appeared.[KIILING LEVEL 15 ACHIEVED][NEW MISSION AVAILABLE][TARGET: DETECTIVE MALIA YUN]I stared at the text. Read it three times to make sure I wasn't seeing it wrong.Detective.They wanted me to kill a cop.I pulled up the full file with shaking hands.[TARGET PROFILE]Name: Malia YunAge: 34Occupation: Homicide Detective, Metro Police DepartmentLocation: 847 Riverside Drive, Apt 4BCrime: [REDACTED - ABOVE YOUR CLEARANCE]Deadline: 62 HoursThat stopped me cold.Redacted.

KAI THE REBORN 30 (STUCK IN A LOOP 2)
KAII closed my eyes.I tried to think about nothing. About the emptiness. About the void.But all I could see was faces.Victor. His reading glasses on the side table. His kids sleeping upstairs.David. His "World's Okayest Dad" mug. His daughter's photo.Marcus. His phone call. "I'll be gone before they even know to look."And Chen. Bleeding in the ring. Looking at me with fear."You're different. What happened to you?"What happened to me?I died. Came back. Made a deal. Started killing.Simple. Clean. Factual.Except it wasn't simple at all.I opened my eyes. Looked at the water surrounding me.It looked red in the harsh bathroom light. Pink. Like it was full of blood.I blinked. It was clear. Just water. Just my mind playing tricks.I blinked again. Red.Clear.Red."Stop," I said out loud. "Stop it."The water stayed clear this time. But I could still see it. The blood. Imagined or real or somewhere in between.I'd washed blood off my hands three times in three weeks. Real blood
KAI THE REBORN 29 (STUCK IN A LOOP 1)
Kai My hand closed on Marcus Greene's shoulder.He turned. Startled. "Can I help—"I didn't let him finish.The parking lot was too exposed. Too many people. Too many witnesses.But there was a gap between his car and the truck next to it. A shadow. Just enough."Mr. Greene?" I said, pulling my hood up slightly. "I'm a huge fan. Could I get an autograph? My kid loves your work.""I'm not, I don't think you have the right person—""Please. Just real quick. Over here." I gestured to the gap between vehicles. "Better lighting."He hesitated. Looked at his watch. But he followed. People always followed when you acted normal enough.The moment we were out of direct sight, everything changed.I moved fast. Grabbed him. Spun him around. Got the hold."What the—!"I applied pressure. Precise. Clinical. The system guiding my hands to the exact position.Marcus struggled. Tried to yell. But I had his airway cut off. No sound came out.[TARGET VITALS DECLINING][ESTIMATED TIME: 1 MINUTE 12 SECO
KAI THE REBORN 28 (KAI VS CHEN 2)
KAIThe warehouse was packed beyond capacity.People were shoulder to shoulder, pressed against walls, standing on equipment just to get a view of the ring. The air was thick with sweat and smoke and the electric energy of a crowd that knew they were about to witness something special."RESURRECTION!" the announcer's voice boomed. "The dead man versus the killer! Kai 'The Phoenix' Wang versus Chen 'The Hammer' Wei!"I stood in the locker room, wrapping my hands. The noise from the crowd was just a distant rumble through the concrete walls. Ricky was going over last-minute strategy but I wasn't really listening.My mind was quiet. Focused. Clear.In thirty minutes, I'd step into the ring with the man who'd killed me.And I was going to destroy him."You listening?" Ricky snapped his fingers in front of my face."Yeah. I'm listening.""You're not. You've got that look. That distant thing you do." He crouched down in front of me. "Kai. Look at me."I looked at him."Don't go too far toni
