Just as Jacob was about to say another word, a car overtook them, forcing him to slam on the brakes.Everyone's attention shifted to Jeremiah, who stepped out of his sleek, black sedan.

A Mysterious Passager
Morning came by fast, casting a golden hue over the bustling streets of Aleric University. The familiar sight of students flooded the premises, carrying out their mundane activities. Unlike every other day, on which Mason drove in with his Bugatti, today he didn't; rather, he was sitting at the back of a taxi.“Good day, sir, did you have your pass?” The security man stationed at the entrance of the university inquired, glancing from the taxi driver to Mason, whose gaze was focused on his phone.“Sorry, sir, I forgot my pass, but you can check it in your system to confirm,” the taxi driver said, but the security guard gave him an apologetic look.“I’m sorry, sir, but according to university policy, no pass means no entry for vehicles,” the guard replied as he gestured for the car to reverse.Mason, finally noticing that they had come to a stop, turned his gaze toward the security guard. If the guard knew who he was, he surely wouldn’t hesitate to let them through.“Don't worry, sir,
A Call
After spending time in the living room, surrounded by his family's laughter and warmth. Mason made his way to his room and locked the door behind him. His eyes fell on the neatly made bed, which seemed to pull him in with a strong force. With a sigh, he sank into the bed and shut his eyes. However, his moment of silence didn’t last long, when the systematic sound shattered his peace.Congratulations on successfully completing a level red mission. You have been awarded 4 celestial points and an ability bonus. Would you like to view the available options now? The message reverberated through his thoughts, bringing him back to the reality of completing his mission. His excitement was overwhelmed by the exhaustion that surged within him.“Not yet, I will do that later,” he replied and was about to exit the system when a question popped into his head. “I have a question,” he said.The familiar image of Emoji appeared, ready to answer him.“Since the system protects me from danger, is my
Public Announcement
News about the incident had spread on every television channel, radio station, and digital transmission device across the nation.People who weren't sure if the details took extensive preventative measures, such as stocking up on supplies and avoiding crowded areas, even when no confirmed cases of exposure to the virus had been reported. Even in light of the officials’ reassurances, the public was still gripped by fear and anxiety. “Thank you for joining us today,” the host said, looking into the camera. “With us is Commander Yann, the commanding officer of the Facility.” He added, and the spotlight was shifted to him. The Commander wore his decorated uniform, adorned with medals that represented his distinguished service and commitment to public safety. “Thank you very much,” Commander Yann responded, illuminated by several flashes from cameras. “Today has been challenging, and it is no secret that the government facilities housing dangerous viruses were attacked.

As the cab pulled away, Mason's thoughts were overshadowed by the text message sent to him by Miranda.[The hospital wouldn't grant me access]The text read, blurring everything including the threat of his identity being exposed to the public.

Unknown Location
In an undisclosed location, several exotic Sudanese drove through the double gate, halting in front of a grand building, whose landscape lingered with secrecy. Their arrival signaled an air of urgency, marking a dramatic entrance. As the vehicle doors slid open, men clad in black tuxedos emerged, exuding an aura of sophistication and authority. Their polished shoes echoed through the lavish marble floor as they made their way through the entrance of the building.Scattered around the premises were several security guards, whose stony expressions were concealed behind dark masks that added an extra layer of mystery to their presence, just like their guests. They exchanged a familiar nod before moving toward the entrance of the building.Each person pulled out a black card, passing it to the middle-aged lady, who took attendance before proceeding into the building.Inside the building, the atmosphere matched the exclusivity of its exterior. In the midst of elegantly arranged rooms, a la
A Bigger Case
The sound of metal crashing against the floor made the men in uniform shift their attention from the gun to Mason. Tension soared through the air, and their unfriendly gazes flickered between the two figures.“Place your hands above your head!” One of the officer's voice slices through the silence like a knife.Mason, sensing the escalation, glanced around and rested his eyes on Anthony, whose hands were already up. Sensing Mason's delay, the officer inched his gun up, tightening his grip. His voice shifted to a deeper snarl. “I said, your hands above your head!” he repeated, emphasizing each word.Mason nodded and then slowly raised his hands while he watched the two officers who approached them. The one holding a handcuff moved towards Mason while the other, with no cuffs, approached Anthony.“Are you okay, sir?” the officers asked, analyzing the bruises on Anthony’s face.Mason turned to look at Anthony, who wore a confused expression. When he realized that the police were not awar

Though it was his first time firing a gun, his hand remained unshaken by the kickback.Meanwhile, Anthony, whose face was drained of color, had fear etched across his features. He instinctively raised his trembling hands to check for any signs of pain or blood.When he realized the bullet had missed him, the horror on his face began to dissipate, replaced by a nervous smile that barely masked the relief washing over him.“I thought you really shot me,” he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “I knew you didn't have the gutss to—”Bang! A second shot soars through the air, followed by the screams of Anthony, who panned at his legs in horror. The hole close to his leg made him raise his gaze to Mason. “What the hell! You could have shot my leg!” he screamed, his voice laced with panic as he shot Mason an incredulous glanc
Hostage
At the entrance of Heaven Institution, several students were ushered out of the building. Meanwhile, Mason, aware of the danger, pushed his way through the crowd and entered the narrow hallway. When he reached a T-junction, he scanned the area, letting out a brief sigh. Just as he was about to make a decision on which path to take, a desperate voice rang out. “Help!”Mason, with a skipped heartbeat, turned in the direction of the sound. He noticed several staff members fleeing from the east wing of the building. As he caught a glimpse of their expressions, he saw pure fear etched on their faces.Without hesitation he dashed through the hallway, and as he got closer, the voice became familiar.“P… please let me go!” The voice pleaded, causing Mason to increase his speed. When he arrived at the scene, his heart skipped another beat. Anthony, wearing a frown, held a gun to a student’s head.“Elizabeth!” he muttered, remembering she was the student who eagerly gave him direction during
