Chapter 49 : The Black Knight.
The raid team entered the dungeon gate, with Jaxen and Anthony leading the group. They were a total of sixteen raiders—a mix of ranks, classes, and experience levels. Upon entering the dungeon, they noticed immediately that the interior was unique compared to most dungeon gates they'd encountered before. The interior wasn't a standard cave, swamp, or village. Rather, it seemed to be the inside of some sort of castle. The ceiling stretched out meters above them, too far to even think about jumping high enough to reach it. The walls had no windows, no doors—just smooth, polished stone that seemed to absorb the light from their torches. Only one straight passageway led them forward into the unknown. Jaxen scanned the area, his senses heightened. The air was still. Too still. "Jaxen," Anthony said, his voice low as he walked a few steps ahead. "You used to be a scout type, right?" "
Chapter 48 : The raid begins!
Jaxen woke up to the faint glow of morning light filtering through his apartment curtains. He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling, letting the events of the past few days settle in his mind. The trial. Astra's fall. Miguel on the run. Focus on today, he told himself. The raid. That's what matters. He swung his legs out of bed and made his way to the small kitchen. He brewed a pot of coffee, the rich aroma filling the apartment. He found some muffins in the cupboard—store-bought, nothing fancy—and ate them quickly while standing at the counter. After finishing breakfast, he took a quick shower. The hot water helped wake him up, washing away the last traces of sleep. He dried off and dressed in a simple black t-shirt and dark pants, his training clothes underneath his gear. He walked to the living room where his new equipment was still spread across the couch. The short swords gleamed under the dim light. The black leather vest sat beside them, along with the gloves, boo
Chapter 47 : A New threat is on the run.
The morning after the trial felt different. Lighter. Jaxen woke up in his apartment and stared at the ceiling, letting the events of the past few days sink in. Astra was gone. His sister was safe. He had a job, a guild, and a future. But Miguel's threat still echoed in his mind. This isn't over. Jaxen pushed the thought aside and got out of bed. Today was about preparation. Tomorrow was the raid. --- He arrived at Liberty Guild headquarters an hour later. The building was already busy—staff members rushing through the halls, hunters in training gear stretching in the lobby, the receptionist fielding calls. The guild was alive. Growing. Jaxen made his way to the medical facility on the third floor. The room was quiet, the machines beeping softly. His sister lay in the bed, her face peaceful, her breathing steady. A nurse was adjusting the monitors. She looked up as Jaxen entered. "Mr. Vane. Good morning." "How is she?" Jaxen asked, stepping closer. "She's doing rema
Chapter 46 : The trial begins!
The morning of the trial arrived cold and gray. Jaxen stood by his apartment window, watching the city wake up beneath a blanket of clouds. His new suit hung neatly on the back of his door. His hands were steady, but his mind was racing. Testify. Don't testify. Protect her. Risk her. The decision had been eating at him for days. Astra had threatened his sister. They had made it clear—if he spoke against them, she would pay the price. But if he stayed silent, they would keep doing what they did. Experimenting on monsters. Using human lives as bait. Killing innocent people without consequence. His phone buzzed. Bill. Jaxen answered. "Jaxen." Bill's voice was calm, businesslike. "I'm sending a car to pick you up in an hour. We need to talk before the trial." "I haven't decided yet," Jaxen admitted. "I know. That's why we need to talk. Trust me, kid. I'll make this right." Jaxen ended the call and stared at his reflection in the window. Trust me. Those were dangerous words. He'd
Chapter 45: Questions and answers
Jaxen woke up to the faint glow of morning light filtering through his new apartment's curtains. For a moment, he forgot where he was—the unfamiliar ceiling, the quiet hum of the city outside. Then it all came back.New apartment. New job. New life.He stretched his arms above his head, his joints popping from a night of deep sleep. The bed was comfortable. Much better than the worn-out mattress at his old place. He could get used to this.Jaxen swung his legs out of bed and made his way to the small kitchen. He opened the refrigerator—still mostly empty, but he'd bought some eggs, bread, and milk yesterday. Enough for a decent breakfast.He cracked three eggs into a pan, toasted two slices of bread, and brewed a cup of coffee. The smell filled the apartment, warm and familiar. It felt good. Normal.After eating, he took a long, hot shower, letting the water wash away the last traces of sleep. He stood there for a moment, steam rising around him, thinking about the day ahead. The conf
Chapter 44 : Liberty guild.
Chapter 44A full day had passed since Jaxen's confrontation with the Astra guild men. He still felt the phantom weight of their threat pressing against his chest. His sister's face flashed through his mind—her eyes finally open, finally aware. And now Astra knew about her.Focus. One step at a time.He stood in front of the three-story building, craning his neck to read the sign above.LIBERTY GUILD.Spelled just above the entrance in bold silver letters. Jaxen followed the address Bill had emailed him to where the guild's new headquarters would be."Liberty Guild, huh? That's an optimistic name." He muttered under his breath. Optimistic, or arrogant. Time would tell which.Jaxen walked right into the building. A receptionist sat behind a polished oak desk, her smile professional and practiced."Welcome to Liberty Guild headquarters. How may I help you?""Yeah, I have a meeting with the owner. Bill." Jaxen approached her desk, hands in his jacket pockets."Let me just check in a bit.
