The sharp ringing in his ears drowned out everything else as the doctor's words echoed inside Dylan Lyon's mind."I'm sorry," the doctor said quietly. "The tests confirmed it. It's late-stage cancer. At most... you have three months left. There isn't a cure anymore. All I can do is make your remaining time as painless as possible."For several seconds, Dylan simply stared at the report in his trembling hands. Three months. Soon, every sunrise would bring him one step closer to death. His lips twitched into a bitter smile before he slowly nodded."Okay... thank you, Doctor."He left the hospital carrying nothing but the diagnosis and a heart that felt impossibly heavy. Every step home seemed slower than the last.When he entered the Lyon mansion, the old butler greeted him with a smile."Young Master, wonderful news! All eight young ladies are returning home tonight. Madam Serena ordered a lavish family dinner. Please prepare everything before they arrive.""I understand." Perhaps... T

Raphael hurried deeper into the laboratory, followed closely by several of his armed men. He expected to find scientists running around in panic, desperately trying to protect the serums.Instead, there was nothing.The laboratory was completely empty.Raphael stopped in the middle of the room and slowly looked around. Tables had been left overturned, equipment was still running, and several papers were scattered across the floor. A few containers had been abandoned in the rush.But there wasn't a single person in sight.Raphael's face darkened."They were just here," he muttered.One of his men looked around. "Sir, there are no bodies either."Raphael frowned deeply. He walked toward one of the tables and noticed a chair that had been knocked over. He picked it up and examined the surrounding area."They didn't leave long ago."He could feel his anger rising."Where the hell did they go?"He suddenly grabbed the edge of the table and slammed his fist against it."Fuck!"The sound ech

The next morning, the bunker was unusually quiet.Katina and her men had finished preparing their equipment. Weapons were checked, ammunition secured, and supplies packed into their bags. Gerald was ready as well, dressed in his tactical gear with a rifle strapped across his back.Just as they were about to leave, Gerald stopped.“Wait.”Katina turned. “What?”“You’re leaving three of your men behind.”Katina immediately frowned. “No. I need every man I have. This journey is dangerous enough already.”Gerald folded his arms. “And this bunker is important. If Raphael discovers it while we’re gone, Janet, Hannah, and Erens will have almost no protection.”“I’ll be left with fewer men,” Katina argued. “You understand how dangerous this mission is?”Gerald smirked. “Well, you have me.”Katina stared at him for a moment before scoffing.“I don’t care who gifted you this bunker or how powerful you think you are. The moment we encounter real scavengers, you’ll understand just how dangerous t

Serena reached home very late at night. She pushed open the door quietly, expecting the family to already be asleep. She was shocked to see everyone sitting in the living room with their eyes glued to the TV.The atmosphere was heavy, thick, vibrating with tension.Serena stepped forward slowly. “What… happened?”No one answered. So she turned to the large TV screen. And then she saw it.The news headline flashed: BREAKING: CHARLES TAKEN BY THE PROSECUTOR — NEW EVIDENCE FOUNDSerena’s breath caught as the female reporter appeared on the screen, her voice sharp and dramatic.“This just in. Prosecutors have officially taken Charles into custody after uncovering a shocking piece of evidence: a secret recording allegedly capturing the very moment he murdered Mr. Eden.“The recording, recovered from a hidden device inside Mr. Eden’s room, contains audio matching Charles’ voice during the killing.”The reporter paused, shaking her head in disgust.“At this point, authorities say there is

On their way home, the car was quiet for a while. Empty and calm after everything that had happened.Lizzy was the one who finally broke the silence.“You really did the impossible,” she said, eyes still on the road. “Tell me honestly. How were you able to go into the Hole Realm and come back alive with the Kyoul Stone?”Natasha leaned forward from the back seat immediately. “Yeah. I’m curious too.”Charles exhaled and began telling them everything. He narrated the entire journey, from the two border monsters, to the desert filled with creatures, to the cave, the serpent, and the realm spirit that guided him. He explained how Aries helped him after he spared the guards and how the realm itself wasn’t chaos, but a place where monsters lived peacefully and only reacted to invasion.It took a long time to tell. The story almost covered the entire journey.Lizzy shook her head in disbelief. “So an unknown spirit helped you just because you didn’t kill the guardians.”Charles nodded. “Yea
Chapter 201
The seven men stopped their snow bikes as they stared at the massive structure standing in the distance.Raphael frowned deeply as his eyes moved over the bunker. Its enormous walls rose from the frozen landscape, reinforced with thick steel and concrete. Floodlights illuminated the surrounding snow, while the towering entrance and fortified exterior made the entire place look more like a military fortress than a simple shelter.For several seconds, Raphael said nothing.One of his men slowly removed his helmet and stared in amazement. “Boss... look at that. It’s incredible. How can someone build something this magnificent out here?”Raphael’s expression remained cold, but his eyes narrowed.He recognized the location.“This...” he muttered.His mind immediately went back to the cave Gerald had purchased before the apocalypse. Back then, Raphael had considered Gerald a useless fool who had wasted his money on an isolated piece of land in the middle of nowhere.But now, that same locat
