2025-02-06 09:24:13A tall, well-framed man walked into his home after a very long time. He had a shirt on with baggy jeans, which differed from his previous demeanor of clothing. Weird enough, his shadow was acting funny. It was detached from him only to form a guard that stood behind him, respectfully.
"It's been five years, for five years I worked for the government to end the catastrophe before it came, and yet..." the man sighed as he took off the mask. His heart shook as he watched his estate being torn down by monsters.
He knew things were coming to this, but he also needed to be sure his son could adapt fast enough
BOOM
A sound hit the whole area like an earthquake.
'What was that? could it be an explosion?' his thoughts
"Hmm, it came from there. "Being sure of the directions, he sped while readying for battle.
The hallway came into sight, so was emotion.... he felt anger!
"Which pest ruined the hallway? It's my favorite part of the building, and where is my chandelier! Gripped by the loss of hundreds million dollars,
he approached the crater in the middle of the hall and found Max as well as the remnant of the chandelier.
My son did this?
“Strange things are very surprising things ...” Magnus thought to himself as he finally found his half
dead son, but the weirdness only seemed to have just begun.
BANG BANG
**heavy heart Beating..!
The sound kept going on and on, increasing the throbbing in Max’s head. He opened his eyes to
low-glare night lighting. He groaned as he tried to sit up properly, trying to make sense of where he
was.
Aggh!
Groaning, it seems like he dislocated his shoulder. The adrenaline of the battle already worn off
Now he felt dozens of pronging pain stimuli smashing into his brain.—
“Max?!''
tried opening his eyes to see the owner of the voice, but the sharp intake of light through his eyes
caused him to retract his eyelids even faster
But the brief opening was enough to see who.... he saw his father, but he couldn’t be sure whether it was
dreaming, but what he knew was that he was currently in agonizing pain
Another set of throbbing pain struck his forehead
AGHHH!!!
A hand reached for him quickly. He thought he heard words of concern, but he had no vision, and the
voices weren’t clear; he could only classify everything as an imagination.
A sharp sting at his arm followed by a hot press of fluid rushing through his veins, a burning sensation in his throat, a sweaty forehead, and shivering hands as his body shook.
furiously.
Through the eyes of Magnus, a different scene was playing; an empty syringe fell from his hands as
His shadow guard took a step back in fear of the shockwave arising before falling on his bottom.
max body levitated, his clothes were blown to bits by his aura alone as he continued to levitate a
spiral indigo marking appeared on the left side of his chest with a strand of the strange markings reaching his waist, where a fuzzy button eye and 'X' threaded eye mark with a mouth made into a zipline at the edge of the teeth.
A purse appearing out of nowhere wasn't weird enough; the fact that it stuck to max skin like glue made
it scary.....
A ghostlike version of the bag appeared with huge puppy eyes. It blinked at Magnus,
” So this was the power of a preform mimic. How fearsome. Unfortunately, I can't help you to mature
faster to stay safe in this new, dangerous world. "Accompanying those words were reddened eyes and a sour throat. To him, this might as well be farewell to his son
Magnus waved his hand, the ring on his index finger shimmering with a glow that covered a portion of the space ahead of him. That portion of space was covered with neat male clothing, though a lil over size, but it was better than being naked.
Magnus then smiled, a ray of light shot through the room, and vanished. Soon, all that was left in the room was Max and a huge crater
Not quite long, another figure arrived, took Max away as he maneuvered in a manner that reminded one of ninjas.
He managed to find an underground space and then placed Max in before he went out to scout, before
returning to watch max then unconsciously dousing off.

An orb glowed on a ring-shaped plate. A scientist wearing a face shield was reassembling the orb with a picker and spatula for what felt like the ten-thousandth time. He had tried multiple patterns already. Hopefully, this time would be a success."Hey, Lorne, would you hand me the chip of the core? That should be the final piece to this puzzle. Let's pray it doesn't explode." The scientist grimaced, extending a hand toward Lorne, his new assistant, who was holding a chunk of Nest Core worth dozens of lives."Here, Professor," Lorne answered.It had been three days, yet they still hadn’t succeeded in creating what they were after. There wasn’t much time. According to the military, the system might crash the moment the Merc Association obtained a C rank or a New Path.The professor attached the chip of Nest Core to the open part of the core. Immediately, a rainbow wave of energy spread to all corners of the lab and beyond.The scientist, Garfield, flinched as sweat dripped down his for

“Is that the last one?” Jane said to the secretary, who was tidying up the papers on the table. She on the other hand, was sipping her morning coffee from her mug.“Yes, Captain, that was the last one,” the secretary said anxiously.“Leave the rest to me, then,” Jane reassured her, her hands picking up the paper on the table before she took her seat and gave the chair a twirl.Sigh...“I sent letters to five different destinations, secretly, to those I found fitting for the Special Squad. Those I could trust, as they would focus more on missions outside the base,” Jane said out loud, though she didn’t seem to be talking to anyone. She had chosen individuals known for their resourcefulness and who had proven their loyalty through past missions. Each had unique qualities: a strategist who could outsmart adversaries, a medic who excelled in high-pressure situations, and a technician with unrivalled skills in hacking and engineering, making them indispensable for missions beyond base bor
The Story of the leader of the first Speial squad leader.
The birds were screeching just beneath the clouds as the sun set on the event of the day.An awarding ceremony for the soldiers who had accomplished the first-ever Rank C mission would be taking place at the sector front. The commander had taken it upon himself to honour the heroes who brought hope back to the last lamplight of humanity.With the apocalypse in full swing, it was hard to make anything feel official, but the military managed, making it at least half as good as ceremonies from the old world.Jane watched the setup. To her, all these were mere formalities that could have been skipped—yet the constant, rapid tempo of her heartbeat said otherwise.Father… little Jane hasn’t let you down.Jane’s cheeks went wet as tears slipped down onto her fist, clenched tightly at her waist.“Is everything fine, Captain? I can’t help but notice that you haven’t dressed up for the ceremony.” At some point, the commander had managed to appear at her side.“Ah, Commander—” Jane flinched, the
Secrets from Sorra
A shadowy man appeared before the tavern’s entrance and pushed the door open. Inside, the place was packed with rowdy mercenaries and scrawny merchants. He wrinkled his nose, his face creasing."The stench of wild men and deadly wine…" He inhaled a little more until a satisfied expression settled on his face. "One feels alive in the midst of mortals, right?"The question didn’t seem directed at anyone but himself."Boss, we got your message. As of now, orders are already being sent out to begin the first phase," a lackey said, handing a mug to the man whose face seemed to treat shadows like clothing."How efficient. Now go get the papers I asked you to print."The shadowy man sat at a free table while the lackey stood by his side, not daring to look him in the eye, much less think of sharing a seat with him."Yes, Your Highness." The lackey immediately ran behind the counter to fetch them.A hefty, chubby mercenary walked up to the bar and slammed his mug down."More of those fiery co
Respect await and so does the peace behind safe doors
The military plane landed in an open field under the watchful eyes of the commander. Jane, however, immediately noticed that something was off. There were too few soldiers. That question would have to wait for now.The hatch opened. Jane and Max stepped out first, with the professor and Sarah following behind. Lorne was helping One-Eye walk, supporting him with his shoulder; the man seemed to be suffering from a hangover. Marc was doing the same for Henrik.The commander came forward to welcome them himself—one of the greatest honors Jane had received since the start of her military career and since her father’s glorious death.She straightened her posture, lifted her chest, clamped one hand to the other in salute, and stamped a booted foot. She exchanged a salute with the man, whose wrinkles spoke of hard-earned experience and old age.“Well done, Captain. You don’t know how much we anticipated your arrival, or how eager we were—especially with your achievements on this mission. Ever
