Chapter One Hundred and Thirty — Consternation
For a moment after Erin’s words settled, no one spoke. The implications hung in the air like a pressure change before a storm, heavy and uncomfortable.Finally, Deena broke the silence. “You mentioned Risax earlier,” she said, frowning. “You said it wasn’t just some upgrade. What exactly was it meant to be?”Erin exhaled slowly, as if choosing how much truth to release at once. “Risax wasn’t created in a vacuum,” she said. “It was a response. The Ordo Supremus—specifically the Grey Family—saw where the world was heading long before most people did.”She gestured vaguely, as if pointing beyond the walls of the room. “Regular humans are already changing. Neural enhancers, muscle lattice reinforcement, sensory augmentations. Single-purpose biotech is becoming normalized. It’s making people smarter, stronger, faster.”“And harder to control,” Sean muttered.“Exactly,” Erin replied. “The Families built their power on being exceptional. On being above everyone else. Risax was designed to pr
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine— Paradox
A few seconds after Erin finished speaking, Sean paused almost as if he had just realized something“Hold on,” he said, leaning forward slightly. “You said 'System'. What exactly do you mean by that?”Erin looked up from where she’d been staring at the table, fingers still loosely intertwined. She blinked once, as if realizing they weren’t all following her train of thought.“Right,” she said. “I should probably explain that part properly.”“When most heirs take Risax,” she began, “they gain a specific enhancement. One ability, or a tightly linked cluster of abilities. Improved strength, elemental manipulation, accelerated perception, neural acceleration—things like that. Even the more advanced cases still fall into identifiable patterns. Michael, however, didn’t follow that predetermined structure.”Sean’s eyes narrowed. “How is that possible?”“That’s just it,” Erin said simply. “It shouldn’t have been.”She shifted her weight, pushing back from the table just enough to pace a step
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight — Michael's Mystery
Even as the atmosphere in the room became progressively tense, Erin was the first to move again, the heiress's immense intellect allowing her to move on to the next important thing without much delay. She leaned forward slightly, elbows resting on the table, her gaze no longer fixed on Sean alone but shifting between both siblings. Her expression wasn’t shocked or tense; it was focused, the way it always became when something finally started to make sense.“There’s something that’s been bothering me for a long time,” she said calmly. “In some of the older surveillance footage we have of Michael, especially from his early fights and even in his latest one, there’s a recurring anomaly. A kind of dark energy that he always uses whenever things start getting out of hand. It doesn’t behave like any standard enhancement, and it doesn’t match any known Awakened output either.” She paused, watching their faces closely. “Does that correlate with what you call Mysteries?”Sean blinked, genuinel
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven— The Ousiarchoi
After Deena finished talking, she glanced around the room's inhabitants and internally sighed with relief at the expressions on their faces. Cane was still leaning back against the edge of the table, his massive arms crossed and his expression mostly unreadable but still sharp. Lea was openly staring at Deena now, somewhere between disbelief and concern, while Stella looked like she was still trying to mentally rearrange everything she thought she knew about the world. But none of them had the fear, dread, and greed she had always seen whenever her power was revealed to other people.Erin, however, had already moved past the shock.She was watching Sean instead, her purple eyes alight with curious intent.“You said earlier that you and your sister were taken in by this organization,” Erin said calmly, breaking the silence. Her tone wasn’t aggressive, but it carried clarity of purpose, the kind that made it clear she was already fitting pieces together. “A massive group that trains pe
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Six— The Yang Eye
The room stayed quiet after Deena moved her hair aside.For a moment, no one spoke. The overhead lights reflected faintly off the smooth white symbol forming over her iris, a calm, circular pattern that seemed almost too clean, too deliberate to belong in the same world as the destruction they had just watched on the screen moments earlier. Following the Eye's reveal, everyone could suddenly feel the weight of Deena's presence in the room. Strangely enough, it seemed to radiate pressure the way Michael’s presence had in the footage, only it did not feel anywhere as dangerous. If anything, it felt… steady.Sean on the hand looked tense beside her, shoulders tight, like he was waiting for someone to shout or reach for a weapon.Commander Cane was the first to break the silence. His voice was low and careful, and he spoke with the tone of someone who had learned a long time ago just how to handle completely unfamiliar situations like this one.“Alright,” he said slowly, his dark eyes fix
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five— The Truth
Cane remained standing near the table, arms folded, his gaze fixed on Sean. Erin had taken a seat again, fingers resting lightly on her tablet but not interacting with it. Lea leaned back against the wall with her arms crossed, while Stella stood closer to the door, silent but alert. The atmosphere had shifted from concern to something tighter, heavier, as if one wrong word would snap whatever fragile balance remained.Sean broke the silence with a slow breath. “You want to know what we are,” he said, his voice steady but strained. “Fine. But don’t expect this to make you feel better about any of it.”Cane inclined his head slightly. “Right now kid, we've got bigger problems than just ‘feeling better’.”Sean nodded once and began to speak. “There are people in this world who are born different. Not Awakened, not enhanced, and not the result of experiments or artificial procedures. These people are chosen, for lack of a better word. They’re given something we call Mysteries.”Lea frown
