Location: Zurich Rooftops – Seconds After the Signal Pulse

Robin staggered to the hospital window, his breath fogging the glass. On the rooftop across the street, Alpha stood with arms folded, wind tousling her hair.

The device she had activated now hung limp from her hand, its task complete. He slammed his hand against the window. “Alpha! What did you do?!”

She didn't answer. Instead, she turned… and disappeared into a passing shadow. Behind him, Layla burst through the door.

“Tell me that wasn’t what I think it was,” she panted, her voice low, clipped, trembling with urgency.

Robin looked down at his shaking hands. “She triggered the network. She just turned on every one of them.”

Within minutes, strange reports flooded in from across the globe:

In Lagos, a youth football match was interrupted when three identical players performed a perfectly synchronized bicycle kick, each wearing a blank jersey marked only with the number 0.

In Tokyo, footage emerged of a teenager dribbling faste

  • Chapter 81 – The Omega Pitch

    Location: Disavowed Military Base – Pyrenees, France Time: 7 Days After the BroadcastThere was no signpost. No road. No crowds. Just crumbled earth and whispers of old wars buried beneath the snow-veiled Pyrenees.But deep underground, accessible only by biometric clearance embedded in forbidden blacksites, the Omega Pitch came alive.An underground arena. Circular. Cold. Encased in smooth carbon steel walls, humming with residual energy.The surface was artificial grass, but ancient markings lined the edges: glyphs no modern player could understand. At its center stood a single bench.Waiting for two. And today, they would sit across from each other. Robin stepped into the tunnel first. No cameras. No agents. No fans screaming his name.Only the rhythmic sound of his boots on steel as he carried his ball under one arm. He wore no team colors. Just a gray hoodie. A scar on his jaw from the London match still healing.Layla’s voice echoed through his comms earpiece. “No live feeds. No

  • Chapter 80 – Ashwood

    Location: DeepCore Vault – Somewhere Below GenevaTime: Three Days After the Hall ActivationInside the most secure vault ever constructed beneath the European continent, something ancient and artificial stirred.A capsule sat at the heart of the chamber, suspended by coils of glowing neural wires and surrounded by seven rotating rings etched with symbols no one could translate.Inside the capsule: a boy. Perfect posture. Closed eyes. A steady heartbeat. His vitals were unreadable. His DNA: 100% Robin Ashwood. And yet… not Robin.The monitors labeled him only as:ASHWOOD ∞ (INFINITY)Status: DormantThreat Index: BLACK LEVEL And then… the rings stopped. The capsule opened. The boy sat up. Eyes burning white. “Why play the game,” he said, voice like split metal,“when I can rewrite the rules?”Back in Zurich, Layla, Robin, and former UEFA intelligence chief Dr. Eliska Marek met in an underground data core surrounded by 3D holograms of clone activity.“Sixty-three active clones and coun

  • Chapter 79 – The Hall of Mirrors

    Location: Blacksite Theta – Unknown CoordinatesTime: 24 Hours After The London MatchThe air inside Blacksite Theta was colder than logic. Deep beneath the earth, shielded by layers of quantum encryption, Alpha stood at the center of the hall, a vast chamber glowing with soft blue lights and high-frequency neural pulses.Before her stood rows of figures. All the same height. Same walk. Same face. Each one was Robin Ashwood. But not exactly.Some were leaner. Some bulkier. One had no eyebrows. Another’s eyes were pitch black. They were experiments in identity divergence. And tonight, they would be activated.Back in Zurich, Layla cracked the encryption on the drone Alpha had sent after the London match. Inside were coordinates. Video. And a chilling phrase: “The prototype has proven his resolve. Now let’s see how he handles despair.”She spun her screen to Robin, still icing his ankle after the brutal match. He looked up. Eyes sharp. Voice steady. “So… she’s built a full team.”Layla

  • Chapter 78 – The Mirror Match

    Location: London, England — Ashfield Arena Time: One Week After Phase ZeroThe stadium hadn’t seen this kind of frenzy since the World Cup. Tickets had sold out in under three minutes. Scalpers were demanding ten thousand pounds per seat.The event? “ROBIN VS ROBIN: The Truth Match”Officially, it was labeled an “exhibition” game, friendly, fun, historic. Unofficially?It was the showdown the world didn’t know it needed, to decide who was real, who was elite, and who would be remembered.Inside the ArenaAshfield Arena had been retrofitted with high-density neural scanners, adaptive AI referee drones, and five-dimensional replay loops.The match would be streamed to over 2 billion devices globally. Security was off the charts. Not for crowd control. But to contain whatever happened on the pitch.In the VIP box, Layla adjusted her comms headset. “This is insane,” she muttered.Beside her, UEFA Head of Ethics, Dr. Marek, watched nervously. “If the clone wins… what happens to your Robin?

  • Chapter 76 – Absence Incarnate

    Location: Unknown — The Echo Realm (Null Domain) Time: No measurable timestampRobin stood alone in the void. The stadium, the roaring crowd, the floodlights, all gone, Now, only silence. Darkness that bent light and devoured gravity.Before him stood Null. His form was fluid, flickering between child and adult, shadow and shape.One moment, he was Robin’s height. The next, he was small enough to disappear into dust.His voice, when it came, felt like it echoed from beneath sound.“Welcome to where the forgotten go. The place that exists when you close your eyes and believe nothing follows.”Robin clenched his fists. “You’re one of the Seedlings.”Null smiled. “Wrong.”He stepped forward. “I’m what was extracted to make room for them. The fear. The anger. The shame. I am not your brother. I am your leftover.”Null didn’t move like a normal being. He flickered, jittered, reappeared behind Robin mid-sentence.“When they harvested your mind, they found noise. The rage at being ignored.
