"They are not statues," Kael breathed, stepping in front of little Lily. He raised his broken, pathetic metal pipe. "They are guards."

All around the massive, cyclopean hall, the terrifying sounds of breaking stone echoed aggressively.

One by one, the twenty-foot-tall statues broke open. The stone skins fell away, revealing the horrific, automated nightmares hidden beneath.

A giant creature that looked like a half-woman, half-beetle stepped down from her pedestal. She had six arms. In each of

    Frank vanished into a streak of golden lightning. Inside Frank’s mind, a terrible, silent explosion occurred. The System burned a massive chunk of his neural pathways to fuel the teleportation. Frank forgot how to read. The concept of letters and words completely vanished from his brain. If someone handed him a book right now, it would just look like meaningless, confusing black scratches on a page. The ability was permanently deleted. Frank did not care. He did not need to read to kill the King. Frank reappeared directly behind Alaric’s broad back. He materialized his glowing blue Phantom Limb on his left side. He formed the energy into a massive, heavy hammer. He swung the magical hammer directly into the center of Alaric’s dark steel back plate. The shockwave blasted Alaric forward. The giant King stumbled, his heavy boots scraping against the wet meat of the floor. He roared in anger and spun around, swinging his golden sword blindly. Frank blinked away again. The sword p

    "Frank, no!" Luna pleaded urgently. "Your Echo Core is empty! The only way to power a Phase-Shift is to burn your own neural pathways! If you turn your whole body into light, you will permanently delete your memories! You will erase your own mind!""Give it to me," Frank ordered. "You cannot fight him like this!" Luna cried. "He is a Level-4 Admin! He has infinite energy! If you use the Phase-Shift, you have to stay in it! If you drop the shift to hit him, he will crush your physical body! The energy drain will kill you in less than a minute!"Frank slowly pushed himself up onto his good left knee. He stared directly into King Alaric's glowing golden eyes. The red text flashed violently across Frank’s vision. [ WARNING! NEURAL DECAY CRITICAL! ] Luna’s robotic system voice blared loudly, trying to override his command. [ FRANK, YOU ARE ERASING YOURSELF! ]Frank threw his head back. He opened his mouth. He let out a sound that did not belong in the human world. It was a raw, tearing,

    The massive, fleshy throne room was completely silent. The heavy, rhythmic heartbeat of the ancient machine stopped mattering. The hot, sour wind blowing from the acid sea stopped mattering. The pain in Frank Williams’s shattered ribs, his broken right leg, and his burnt left stump completely disappeared. Frank lay on the squishy, dark red floor. His human right hand was pressed flat against the wet meat of the cavern. He stared across the room. He looked at the dark black stone wall near the open vault doors. He looked at the tiny, broken body lying perfectly still at the bottom of the wall. Princess Elara was not moving. Her head rested awkwardly against the cold stone. Her pale, beautiful eyes were closed. Her arms and legs were completely limp. A terrible, dark red stain of blood painted the wall behind her head. She had charged a giant, eight-foot-tall monster to protect him. She had fought with a tiny, chipped dagger. And her own father had swatted her out of the air like

    “No. No. No.” Frank’s mind chanted. The sound was absolutely, perfectly sickening. It was not a dull thud. It was a sharp, terrible, wet cracking noise that echoed endlessly through the silent, massive temple. Elara slammed back-first into the solid black stone wall. Her head whipped backward. Her skull struck the hard, unforgiving rock with brutal, devastating force. The impact stopped her flight instantly. For a fraction of a second, she hung pinned against the cold black stone. A spray of bright red blood splashed against the wall behind her head, painting a terrible, dark stain on the ancient rock. Then, gravity took over. Elara dropped. She slid down the smooth black wall. Her body hit the dark stone floor at the base of the wall with a soft, quiet, terrible thud. She crumpled into a tiny, motionless pile of torn clothes, dirt, and blood. Her head rested awkwardly against the cold stone. Her arms and legs lay completely still at unnatural angles. Her pale eyes were closed.

    "Princess..." old Silas wept. The old man buried his face in the dirt. He could not bear to look at her broken body."Elara!" Kael roared, struggling wildly against the invisible weight. The big man gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his neck, but he could not lift his chest off the floor. "You monster! You coward! Fight me!"King Alaric ignored the yelling man. He kept his glowing golden eyes locked on his daughter."You see, Elara," Alaric’s distorted, grinding voice echoed in the quiet room. "This is the reality of the universe. The strong survive. The weak are broken."Alaric pointed his giant golden sword down at her bleeding face."You let your emotions control you," Alaric mocked her softly. "You let your love for a dead mother and a broken street rat cloud your judgment. You thought your anger would make you strong. But anger makes you stupid. Anger makes you blind."Elara lay on the floor. Her pale eyes were

    King Alaric watched her fly through the air toward him. The False King did not look surprised this time. He did not look angry. He just looked incredibly bored. The game was over. He had let her play for a minute, but now, he was tired of the annoying insect. Alaric did not try to block her with his giant golden sword. He did not step backward. He used his terrifying, unnatural, mechanical speed. Because Alaric had assimilated Frank’s combat data, he possessed the exact same enhanced biological speed that the System provided. He was an eight-foot giant, but he could move faster than a blinking eye. Alaric simply stepped inside her guard. Before Elara’s daggers could even come close to his chest, Alaric moved his massive, empty left hand. He swung his heavy, black steel gauntlet in a brutal, casual backhand. He did not swing it like a warrior making a tactical strike. He swung it like a man swatting a tiny, annoying fly out of the air. The impact was absolutely, horrifyingly ca
