The sound reverberated through the clearing, striking a chord of recognition in Ellie's heart. It wasn't just an eerie howl; it was a deathly omen. She'd heard it before, and she knew what it signified. With urgency etched on her face, Ellie sprang to her feet. She couldn't afford to hesitate. She bolted towards the source of the ominous sound, propelled by concern and an instinctual need to protect. But her rush was halted by an approaching figure. It was Keyla, panting heavily, clearly on a quest…-

Although the drawbacks of using the Berserker mode was starting to kick in, Kan was more than sure that the figure he could see with his enhanced vision on the haul of the boat coming from afar was indeed what could only be explained as impossible. "My wife?!" Kan muttered, not sure if even he believed what he had just said. However, it was unmistakable. The face, the figure he saw was like a nightmare reimagined. It didn't make any sense that the woman whom he blamed for all his miseries in his…

From the other end, Kan rose up from the ground, seething with more rage than ever. Although the warning had come from the system that he had limited time left to use the berserker skill, it made no difference. The whole skill blinded his reasoning to a high degree making what the system showed him inconsequential. For all he knew, the enforcer right in front of him was a pain, a sharp twig in the eye that needed to be removed. In an instant, distracted by Ellie, Kan kicked off from the ground,…

The resonant crash sliced through the charged air, a cacophony of chaos and disruption. Kan swiveled, his path to Ellie abruptly halted, replaced with an impending nightmare. Hurtling down towards him was the enforcer, transformed and monstrous, a terrifying amalgamation of menace and malevolence. In a heartbeat, Kan was ensnared, lifted with the effortless ease of a doll. The subsequent swing sent him hurtling through the warehouse, a mere plaything in the hands of an implacable force. Container after…

The enforcer before Kan was utterly confounded. His senses were awash with a strange mix of wariness and respect, an instinctual recognition that this was no ordinary encounter. His gaze fixated on Kan, unable to comprehend the rapid transformation that had unfolded before him. What puzzled him most was the abrupt shift in Kan's eyes—from a mundane brown to an otherworldly, predatory yellow, their shape elongated into something reminiscent of a creature from myth. "Is this some kind of…

The safe room, once a fortress of impenetrability, bore the scars of Keyla's unleashed power. Blackened scorch marks streaked across the walls, vivid reminders of the fiery onslaught that had raged within. The air still held a faint tang of burnt wood and singed metal, a testament to the intensity of Keyla's magic. Several crates that once stood tall and imposing were now reduced to smoldering remnants, their contents either consumed by flames or reduced to ash. Metal struts that supported the ceiling…

124 Keyla on fire Keyla's situation was not looking the best for multiple reasons. For one, she was somehow caught in the middle of a gang war that she knew nothing about but couldn't afford to divulge her innocence for the fear of being discarded. However, her apparent stoic demeanor and what appeared to her interrogators as a strong bravado being put on went so far as to misled them into opting for a better interrogation method. One that in fact seemed like it would be most suitable to their…

123 Sing? Meanwhile, a while ago, inside one of the rooms in the warehouse, something was about to haopen. The room itself exuded an air of foreboding, its atmosphere thick with tension and uncertainty. Dim light filtered through a small, grated window high on the wall, casting elongated shadows that danced across the cold, concrete floor. The walls, rough-hewn and painted a drab, industrial gray, bore the scars of past interrogations, marked by gouges and streaks of unknown origin. Metallic…

Kan looked around, what appeared to be the war between two gangs whereas it was just the few of the outcast gang members tearing through the ranks of the Gecko Brotherhood. It was apparent then that Jessica's stance concerning the hierarchy was impossible to ignore. Undeniably, humans were resilient but against beings like werewolves and the likes, they simply stood no chance. Kan himself still didn't know what the riot twins were but he saw for sure that the humans even with their glow bats were…

121 Ellie's gone?! Kan's heart raced as he bolted towards his gang's base, a sense of urgency propelling him forward. He boarded a bus, his mind focused solely on reaching his destination. As he disembarked, he wasted no time, sprinting through the streets towards the base. Yet, before he could reach it, a grim tableau unfolded before him. Lifeless bodies, members of what he assumed were the rival Ghetto Brotherhood, lay strewn across the ground. Each one held a glowing bat, and the scene was a…
