Kevin crouched at the edge of the fissure, toes gripping crystalline ice. The wind screamed across the plateau, tugging at his hood and whipping snow into his eyes.

The Memory Ocean stretched before him, fractured and pale, steam rising in soft columns where the ice had thinned. Beneath, the dark currents moved with a rhythm

    Jonah opened his eyes inside his own mind. He was standing in a perfectly empty, blindingly white room. There were no doors. There were no windows. There was just endless, sterile white light.It was a digital prison. The Grand Conductor had pulled Jonah’s consciousness directly into the System's mainframe.“Welcome, Jonah,” a smooth, cold voice said.General Silas appeared in the white room. But it was not the real Silas. It was a digital avatar created by the machine. The fake Silas wore a perfectly clean white coat. His silver mask was flawless.“You fight very hard for a piece of code,” the fake Silas said softly. He walked slowly around Jonah."Where am I?" Jonah growled. He tried to raise his fists, but his arms felt incredibly heavy. They moved in slow motion.“You are in the trash bin,” Silas smiled. “Your physical body is currently kneeling in the sn

    "AGH!" Jonah roared in sudden agony.Hot red blood poured down his leg. The smell of burning meat filled the cold air.Before Jonah could recover, another guard smashed the heavy metal handle of his halberd directly into Jonah’s back.Jonah stumbled forward, falling to one knee in the bloody snow.The guards surrounded him instantly. They raised their purple blades high into the air, ready to chop the giant wolf into twenty pieces.Jonah looked up. He saw the thick, glowing purple tubes running up the backs of the elite guards. He remembered how he had killed the Alpha Unit.“I have to break their batteries,” Jonah thought fiercely.Jonah did not stand up. He stayed on his knee. He gripped his heavy sledgehammer with both hands."GET AWAY FROM ME!" Jonah roared at the top of his lungs.He swung the sledgehammer horizontally, aiming low. He slammed the heav

    The twenty Elite Assimilated Guards charged. They moved with absolutely terrifying, flawless speed.They did not scream. They did not yell. They were perfectly silent. Their heavy black power armor gleamed in the flashing lights of the battlefield.They raised their massive energy halberds. The long poles ended in glowing, purple laser axe-blades. The blades buzzed loudly in the cold air.Jonah stood alone in the center of the smoking crater. He was breathing heavily. Thick white steam poured from his lips.His dark brown eyes were solid pools of freezing, brilliant silver light. He held his forty-pound iron sledgehammer in his right hand.The System Merge skill was fully active. The thick, dark iron scars on his arm crawled down his wrist and fused directly into the wooden handle of the hammer. Glowing silver veins pulsed inside the heavy iron head of the weapon.The hammer was not just a tool anymore. It was a livin

    There were fifty of them. They were huge, terrifying men. They wore thick, heavy, sleek black power armor. They looked like the Alpha Unit, but they were perfectly disciplined. Thick, glowing purple tubes pumped crystallized Mana directly into their spines. Their faces were covered by smooth black glass masks. They held massive, heavy energy halberds—long poles topped with glowing purple, vibrating laser axe-blades. They looked up at the falling giant. They moved with perfect, robotic synchronization. They raised their heavy halberds. They formed a tight, unbreakable circle of deadly purple blades pointing straight up into the sky. They were waiting to skewer Jonah the second he landed. Jonah was falling at two hundred miles an hour. He gripped his forty-pound sledgehammer tightly. The silver veins pulsed. He did not try to slow down. He did not try to dodge. Jonah aimed his heavy steel-toed boots directly at the center of the spear wall. "MAKE WAY!" Jonah roared. Jonah hit the

    Elena tightened her grip on her iron mace. She lifted her chin. "I trust you, giant!" Elena roared. "We will hold the line! Go!" Jonah smiled a fierce, proud smile. His people were warriors. Jonah turned back to face the dark valley. He looked at the floating Grand Conductor in the distance. He needed to travel miles in a few seconds. He needed to fly. Jonah lifted his massive forty-pound iron sledgehammer. “System Merge,” Jonah commanded in his soul. The thick, glowing silver scars on his right arm crawled rapidly down his wrist. They wrapped entirely around the thick oak handle. They fused deeply into the heavy iron head of the hammer. The glowing silver veins pulsed with blinding light. The weapon hummed violently.Jonah did not aim the hammer at the zombies. He turned the heavy iron head downward. He pointed the flat end of the sledgehammer directly at the frozen dirt between his own boots. He gathered all the massive, explosive kinetic energy inside his Undying Will. He pul

    Jonah pushed himself up from the dirt. He stood tall in the massive forty-foot breach. Thick white steam poured off his broad shoulders. His dark brown eyes burned with fierce, silver starlight. He gripped his forty-pound sledgehammer in his right hand. The sudden explosion made the rest of the zombie horde pause. The front lines hesitated, confused by the massive blast of silver light. Jonah did not look at the zombies in front of him. He looked far, far out into the dark valley. His new, enhanced senses pushed through the blinding whiteout blizzard. He looked past the falling snow. He looked past the thousands of marching dead bodies. He realized that killing the front line was completely useless. If he smashed a hundred zombies, the virus would just send a thousand more. If he smashed a thousand, the virus would send a million. The army of the Dead Zone was endless. The innocent, crying Assimilated soldiers were trapped in the back lines, forced to fire their heavy artillery
