The Quiet Before the Storm
The mysterious man stood in the dim glow of President Lee’s war tent, his posture relaxed, his tone calm and methodical—an eerie contrast to the chaos outside.“President Lee,” he said softly, “do not concern yourself with the lack of resistance. War doesn’t always need screams and fire to be effective. In fact, the silence is an advantage.”Lee narrowed his eyes. “Advantage?” he barked, tossing a map onto the floor. “It’s boring. Lifeless. This is not what war should feel like.”“But that is precisely why we will win,” the mysterious man replied, stepping forward. “We are not being slowed. There are no rebels, no snipers in the shadows, no barricades. We are slicing through this land like a hot blade through silk. And soon, we will reach the very core of Barion—the source of Calvin’s power.”He gestured to the map on the floor, pointing to the deep
The Empty City
Under the command of President Lee, the forces of Han Xian successfully infiltrated Barion’s territory. The mysterious man’s infiltration plan had worked flawlessly. No alarms were triggered, no resistance met them at the borders. The sentry towers were already abandoned. The gates stood ajar.Within hours, the flames of war began to devour the surface city.Missiles soared through the morning sky, exploding with surgical precision. Buildings collapsed into clouds of dust and debris. The once-pristine skyline of Barion twisted into jagged ruins, smoke coiling like funeral ribbons. The scent of concrete, metal, and scorched earth blanketed the air.It was brutal. Clean. Efficient. Exactly how President Lee liked it.He stood atop one of his mobile command tanks, binoculars in hand, his smirk gradually fading the longer he scanned the horizon.“No screams?” he muttered, narrowing his eyes. “No stampede of terrified citiz
Bloodline of Betrayal
Though the System had worked tirelessly to seal wounds, regenerate muscle, and restore key energy channels, Calvin’s body remained fragile—still bound to the laws of mortality. For all his transcendent power, he was not immortal. Not yet. And the recent injury, with a blade forged from the world’s rarest metal embedded straight through his abdomen, had pushed him terrifyingly close to the edge.The System had done all it could. Now, it was the turn of human care.For days, Calvin lay on a bio-regeneration bed inside his private residence, his skin pale, his breaths slow but steady. The air smelled faintly of herbs and cooling salves, and silent medical drones hovered nearby, adjusting dosage and monitoring vitals.On the fourth day, just as the morning light broke through the frost-glazed windows, a small procession arrived outside the guarded estate.At the center of it: a tall man in plain linen robes, his hair tucked beneath a commone
Echoes of Blood and Memory
The moment the mysterious man disappeared into the fog, leaving behind the sea-slicked ferry and the dying body of Calvin Hudson, the System awoke with full authority.A high-pitched tone shimmered in the air as if reality itself had been peeled open.[Warning: Host's vitals below critical threshold.][Manual override initiated. Emergency protocol—Phase Shift Transfer.]In a single breath, Calvin vanished from the ferry deck. His body, limp and soaked in blood, phased into pure light—absorbed into the hidden vaults of the System’s deepest layer. The space around where he lay went silent, as though the ocean held its breath.And then, as if he had never been there at all, Calvin was gone.***Within the sterile warmth of his private residence—a place the System had marked as a priority sanctum—Calvin rematerialized. He reappeared in a medical alcove lined with glowing diagnostic runes and suspended orbs of
Shatter the Shield
The sky above the coastline trembled as the roar of rotor blades shattered the quiet.A black helicopter—sleek, armored, and engineered with the finest military-grade enchantments—descended onto the battered cliffs near the sea. The air rippled with distortion magic, shielding its arrival from distant eyes. As the blades slowed, wind whipped dust and broken petals of fallen energy into the air, circling the man who waited below.The masked assassin stood alone at the water’s edge.Before him, embedded in the cragged stone of the pier, was the crystal sphere—the translucent, indestructible bubble conjured by Calvin in his final moment of consciousness. Inside, Calvin’s body remained slumped, still pierced by the silver sword, surrounded by his own drying blood. His chest rose and fell, barely.Still alive.Still untouchable.The assassin didn’t move as the helicopter’s side door opened and a voice bar
The Last Shield
Screams pierced the salty air.“Doctor Calvin!”“Commander, hold on—please—”“Everyone, get him out of here!”Chaos erupted on the deck of the ferry. Calvin's loyal aides, warriors and healers alike, surged forward in horror, blades half-drawn, their instincts screaming to avenge. Blood pooled beneath Calvin’s knees, soaking into the wooden planks as he hunched forward, one hand clutched over the gaping wound in his abdomen. His breaths came in jagged gasps, vision flickering at the edges like candlelight in a storm.But his voice, though hoarse and blood-soaked, still cut through the panic.“No one fights him.”They froze.Even now, even dying, Calvin’s voice held the weight of command. A firm refusal. Not fear—but calculation.“He’s too skilled,” he managed. “You’ll only die… for nothing.”The mas
