It’s my BIRTHDAY Family!
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY 🎉❤️ I honestly wasn’t even sure I was going to say anything, but I just felt like sharing it with the people who actually make this journey worth it — you guys, my readers. Writing has always been something personal to me, but over time it became more than just sitting down and creating stories. It became consistency, pressure, late nights, ideas that won’t let me sleep, and most importantly… it became something I share with people I may never meet in real life, but who still connect with every chapter like it’s part of their own world. So today, I just want to pause for a moment and say thank you. Sometimes as a writer, you don’t really see the full impact of what you’re doing. You just write, upload, and move on. But then you see readers reacting, waiting for updates, discussing characters, arguing over plot twists 😭 and that’s when it hits you that this is actually bigger than just writing on a screen. So I’m doing a small 24-hour birthday event for f
I have a Family now Julie
After everything inside the facility finally went quiet, Jaden stepped out through the broken exit, the cold air of the outside corridor hitting him immediately like a reset. Dust still clung faintly to his coat, but his breathing was already steady again, his body recovering with unnatural discipline as if nothing had just happened.Outside, Kaiden was leaning slightly against a damaged pillar, bow resting across his shoulder, while Julie stood close by wrapped in a thick jacket that clearly didn’t belong to her originally. The fabric was oversized, zipped all the way up, and still she held it tightly around herself like a shield against everything she had just witnessed.Kaiden straightened the moment he saw movement.“…Wait,” he blinked once, then fully looked at Jaden stepping out. “You’re… already done?”Jaden gave a simple nod.“Yes.”There was a beat of silence.Kaiden actually laughed once in disbelief, pushing himself off the pillar. “Already? Within five minutes?” He shook h
Breath or Die
At this point, Jaden had reached the critical threshold of oxygen deprivation.His body was no longer operating in normal combat mode—it had shifted into survival priority.In this stage, the human body begins to shut down everything non-essential. Vision narrows. Hearing dulls. Fine motor control becomes unstable. Blood flow is redirected away from the limbs and digestive system toward the brain and heart. Muscles begin to stiffen and tremor as lactic acid builds up rapidly. Decision-making slows, and even trained soldiers start to lose precision because the brain is forced into a single directive:Breathe or die.Jaden’s lungs burned with that instinctive demand.Every movement now carried invisible resistance, like his body was fighting him from the inside. His grip strength fluctuated slightly. His reaction timing, though still sharp, was no longer effortless—it required conscious control.He was running out of time.Michael, despite the chaos around him, noticed it instantly.Jad
You’re still human after all
Jaden still didn’t respond.A soldier lunged at his side.Jaden grabbed its face mid-charge and slammed it downward into the floor with enough force to crack the reinforced concrete beneath. Without hesitation, he pulled its weapon free and spun, firing a precise strike that dropped two more advancing units in a single motion.The gas cloud thickened.Visibility dropped further.Jaden’s breath still held.Thirty seconds gone.Michael’s expression finally changed slightly.“…He’s calculating it.”Jaden was no longer reacting like a man fighting for survival.He was treating the battlefield like a countdown.The remaining soldiers adjusted their tactics, spreading out to force him into longer engagements, attempting to drain his oxygen faster. One of them feinted a strike while another came in low for a sweep.Jaden stepped over the sweep, crushed the feinting arm with a downward stomp, and used the falling body as a pivot to spin into the next attacker.CRACK.Another head snapped side
General you have to get out of there now!
Hope’s voice cut through the comms instantly, sharp with urgency.“General, it’s true. The gas compound is active—get out of there now!”But Jaden didn’t move.Inside the sealed chamber, he stood perfectly still as the glass enclosure trembled slightly from the pressure of the mechanism locking it in place. The hiss of gas grew louder, filling the space in thick, colorless waves that rolled across the floor like a living thing. Michael stood beyond it all, watching from behind shattered metal panels and reinforced platforms, his silhouette steady as he slowly lifted a hand in mock concern.“Too late,” Michael said, his voice echoing through the chamber. “You’re still human, Jaden Rift. No matter how strong you think you are… you still need oxygen.”The Mask Demon’s gaze sharpened as he added, almost casually, “That compound saturates the bloodstream instantly. It shuts down lungs, liver, heart—everything. Even a breath is enough to drop five elephants. And you’re in it now.”Then he l
The Poison Gas
The Mask Demon slowly pushed himself up from the cracked floor, rolling his shoulders as dust slid off his suit in thin layers. He stood upright, letting the silence settle properly around him before speaking, his voice no longer just distorted menace but something calmer and controlled.“I’ve been waiting for you,” he said. “Jaden Rift… the Northern General.”Jaden stood a few meters away, completely still, eyes locked on him. Then he exhaled lightly and smiled—not amused, but faintly entertained, like someone recognizing a name they hear too often.“So you know me,” Jaden said calmly.His voice carried a quiet edge of superiority.“Of course you do. Everyone does.” His eyes sharpened slightly. “That’s the problem with people like you… even random thugs end up knowing my name.”A faint pause.Then his gaze turned colder.“But I don’t know you.”The Mask Demon’s expression tightened slightly at that.Jaden tilted his head just a fraction.“So tell me,” he continued, voice steady, “who
