Apaurushya - The Continuum 13: Scars
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but… I missed this rabbit hole!" He smirked as he walked out of the teleportation base.Without wasting a single beat, Creed rushed towards his rented room in the public shelter and put on his hunting kevlar. The grim smell of lingering blood and leather ruffled several memories of panic, hysteria, and adventure. Although it only lasted four months, it felt like forever.Creed put on the kevlar and left the flat. His fingertips danced over his watch, pulling out directions to a specific location. He looked at the time and rushed.He pulled up his cloth mask and jogged the entire way until he reached a standalone building away from the prime area. At the edge of the public shelter's inner boundary, desolate from buildings and liveliness.A familiar lavish tavern finally panned out in his vision. This was the same tavern where he met all the 'Rha' members for the first time. He was heading toward the restaurant with a rational mind. It was about time he

Creed could feel the cold gazes on him while he was sitting on one corner of the table. He had already greeted them with a warm smile, yet surprisingly, none of them had yet said a word. They all just kept staring at him as if they wanted to murder him right this second."Come on, guys! That's enough…" Colt was the first one to break the awkward glaring contest, "Stop with those annoyed looks… that's no way to act on a reunion!""Four months of forced inactivity… " Falco hissed as he took a sip, "and nobody has yet told me why we had to bodyguard that god forsaken killing machine… I fucking hate this.""Falco… we have been through this already " Nakiya sighed, "You know those were master's orders… why are you so pissed all of a sudden?""Yeah.. yeah… master's orders! My ears will fall off if you say that one more time." Falco jeered, "The reason I am pissed is because master is just being tyrannical."He continued, "Besides, If something bad happened and she wanted to put a choker on

"Now for the most important part. We will soon be having a hierarchical restructuring in the party. Agenor is about to ascend to the next glitch very soon. He is leaving the team and the next mission will be his last mission. He's been in the team for as long as I can remember and has done a magnificent job all this time. Sadly, it's about time we say our goodbyes.""...""Oh! Man… this really sucks!""… Agenor is..leaving! Crap…I'm not ready for this!""Fuck me!""I fucking hate this…"They all turned towards him as if struggling to process this depressing information. Unfortunately, Agenor had a consoling smile on his face, hinting that Luna was speaking the truth.Although, this shouldn't have come as a surprise because everyone's time inside the glitch was finite. However, the points in his heart chakra were 95, only 5 points away from becoming a full fledged heart chakra seeker.Sadly, Glitch inherently rejects the individuals who come close to opening the heart chakra.

Now that the next hunt location was disclosed by Luna, Creed felt his mind being swamped by the weight of all the preparation he needed to do before the collaboration hunt began. Despite all the adrenaline inducing pep talk, it was obvious that Luna has involuntarily set the bar too high. Creed knew it wasn't as easy as it sounds. In order to occupy the majority of the total gains, they would need some kind of over the top strategies. In fact, this goal was close to impossible. There will be at least 6-8 teams that will participate, bringing the total body count over 100. Besides, this wasn't the type of situation where he could just kill-steal everything and run away.At every step of the hunt, he and others will have to hog most of the kills, making it seem like everything was a coincidence when it was pre-planned. Creed's head began to hurt like crazy, he had no idea how he could ever make this happen. Most of his weapons have been lying dormant in his room in the public shelter

Somewhere inside a facility laced with thousands of hovering equipment and sophisticated gadgets, four people were present next to a giant glassy entrance. Hypersensitive armed scanners kept floating while patrolling the entire lobby.These four individuals were no other than the siblings pairs, Liam and Rose McConnell, and other two were Su and Wu Jiang. Rose and Su Jiang were standing relaxed while leaning to the walls on the opposite side of the hall. However, both of their pupils kept moving two and fro while following Liam's march of nervousness.Wu was quietly sitting on the floor. Rose and Su were just staring at Liam's who kept biting his nails, However, soon enough Wu couldn't help but hissed in annoyance,"Jesus! Liam…" Wu uttered, "Would you please stop already? Calm down….jeez!""...I am calm!""Then stop moving in circles like a fucking chu-chu train! you are so annoying!""Shut the fuck up, Wu…" Liam replied with a cold stare, "Don't act as if you are any better!""Fuck

Creed immediately headed towards a destination that was no other than a familiar ancient ruin with an entire pathway carved along the frontiers of a gigantic mountain. The place was no other than the cursed valley. The Collaboration hunt was in two days but before that he wanted to take care of a couple of urgent things. He entered the submerged city in the dark-depth of the abyss.[2̸̡̧̼̂̇̊̿͌̚2̷͍̱̪̙̊̍/̷̨̨̨̛̯̮̩̗̜̞̀̑̿̑͊7̷̭̅̉̚͜ ̶̜͂̑̄͝=̵̡̩͎͔̼̼̅̑̇͆͜͜≯̢̹̣̯̹͑̌̈́̀͛͊̉̓̚3̸̧͍̱̘͙̣̟͔͂́̒́͆̓̚.̵̡̮̪̰̤͓̘͚̰̈̓̑̈̔1̷̢̘̜̠͚͇̩̯̮͐͝4̷̱͍̩̈́͛͛͊͊̅][#W̶̤̝̝̞̙̮̘̫͚̤͑͗̇̐̍͊͑̏̀̉͂̎̈́̍͋̄̈́̐̆́̀̈͒́͐̊͛̿͆̐̽̍̋̏̂͊̕͠͝a̴̫͛͗̈̂͆͐̋͑̅̋͂̈̓̌̽̅̑͗̾̍̓͂͘͠͝r̵̤̯͉͓̲̀̇̑̑́̂͘��̺̪̰͈̱͙̫͇͇͕̱̱͉͜��̧̧̢̼̞̱̤̝͉͚͜ņ̶̧̧̡̡̪̤̟̭͈̣̩̻̯͉̯̼̺̝̼̘̯̗̬̺̩͙̖̘͍̲͚̫̜̙͓͛̎̄́̐̎͑̏͑̇̊͑̀̐̾̾̃̆̿̈́̈͑̑̀͑̐͜͜͝͝͠͠ͅị̵̧̨̧̧̨̞̜̲̤̮̙͍̯̟̝̹̼̹̫̟̺͔̫̯̦̗̻̗͚̦̱͗̓͐̄̋̈́̏͆̈́͛̒̒̄̀͑̊͋̃̋̀̈́͌̆̃͊́̐̅͊̚͝ͅn̴̨̧̡̨̛̙͇̳͙͖͇̱̳̯̙͔̲͙̳̺̞͖͙͙̼̤̮̑̒̑̎̂̓̆̃́͂̌̍͑͊́̌̓̀̀̋̾͛̆̀͌̐͐̿͂͋̓͘͘̕͝͝͝͝g̴̡̧͈̞̫̳̞͈͐#][ W͏̬̰͙͚̖̳̹̫͖͇͈̮̳͙̥̦͎̕ȩ̨̲̘̺̞͉̼̜͖̹͕̞͖̹̲̲͚̕l̲͚̱͉̗̹̼̬͖͞c̢̡̳͉̟̜͈͕̰̗̼̼̙̰͈̥¾ḿ̴̷̧̭̖̝̮͕̮͉̼̫̞̰͕̮͕ę̸̱͎̼̼͔̭̱̝̰̤̙͈̫̠̬̳̭ to Ţ̶̧̺͚̺͔͎̦̘o̵̶��͢

~Cough ~Cough~Argh ~Agh"Stop! Stop…"He kneeled on the ground and raised his left arm to stop the clone from attacking. He puked blood on the ground. Both his arms trembled as if he was having seizures. "Just give me a—" ~cough ~cough"Just… let me catch ~huff ~huff my breath…."It was the 15th day in the abyss. The clone retracted the trident away from his neck. He gazed at Creed, painting the ground with blood and spit, expressionless. His shirt was completely turned into a shredded rag, whereas the clone had only minor scratches here and there."You really think this is going somewhere?""What's that?" Creed pushed himself against the ground slowly but his legs gave up as he crumbled on the ground. His body was bleeding from scratches and wounds, he asked, "What do you mean?"~thud.."This new combat technique…" The clone replied, "How come it is making you weaker?""So you felt it on the 15th day?" Creed replied panting heavily, "I felt that on the 7th day… guess that also pro

Inside the uncharted territory of bhu-lok, 102 km southeast, on the outer region of the public shelter, the grassland of åbűth reflected a scintillating hue across the boundless sky. The wind dashed through over the ground, marinating the surrounding with a chronic ambiance.The grassland stretched as far as eyes could see. Beyond the horizon, several silhouettes of huge hills and mountains stood with pride at the farthest edge of the gleaming sky. This was the edge of the outer boundary of the public shelter. Beyond these boundaries, there were no laws. No matter which direction one goes, the only thing that lies outside these boundaries is always crippling chaos.Past these boundaries, one could either be a hunter or the hunted. That is the only law beyond human-made cocoons to protect themselves from the brutality of outside world the so-called public-shelters. They all knew that beyond these boundaries exist undefined paranoia, terrifying creatures and unexplainable phenomenons.

A few days later inside the archery facility, Target 101, Kendrik was still busting his ass on the endurance range. However, today for some reason, he was more enthusiastic than ever. Although, his expression told that he was really struggling but the subtleties of his body language during the practice hinted otherwise.Though his limbs were twitching with pain, body drenched with sweat, and veins burst with blood rush, regardless, he was still humming as if he was enjoying his training regime. This shouldn't come as a surprise since he was finally noticing some changes in his shots. Over the past few days Kendrik noticed that his accuracy has slightly increased and he has finally gotten a hang of the customized training regime. This training regime was extremely taxing but after everyday's practice and consistent effort he realized that starting from scratch—as Creed advised—was not bad advice after all. He was also diligently taking the pill that Creed prescribed, and coincident
Apaurushya - The Continuum 107: Threat of a Geno-Script
Creed walked out of the medical facility feeling despondent. He was undoubtedly thinking about the discussion that he just had. He continued to mutter to himself, agitatedly. "What a stupid facade…""And what the hell was I even thinking?? Of Course, she's not gonna tell me shit!! This must be what they call the classified information!! Not to mention that grumpy old man was also sitting right there gawking like a freaking viper!!""Meh… Whatever!! It doesn't matter… At least, now I know that there are more variables in the picture.""Argh fuck!!" Creed cursed under his breath, slapping his forehead with frustration. "What was I even thinking, promising that scumbag Varun a favor? I got nothing in return... what a waste of time!!"Creed went back to his home with no leads at all. Finding 'Eos' and getting him to talk about his unusual weapon was his only lead. Unfortunately, with him leaving without a trace, Creed was out of options now. Nevertheless, one thing was crystal clear. If
Apaurushya - The Continuum 106: Shunya?
Varun stared at him for a few seconds before smiling, "If you are that desperate, alright fine. But don't back off later, or I'll shank your ass in your sleep.""Just take me to her," Creed ignored Varun's warning.Varun led Creed to another floor, and as they walked, Creed couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between the efficient, advanced, state-of-the-art equipment in this medical facility. This facility had by far the most efficient, advanced, state of the art equipment available to humans. It reminded him how difficult it was to bridge that gap between privilege and non privilege.Compared to this, the hospitals available to the general public were absolutely garbage. Creed was creeped out by how well funded, and well designed this facility was. It almost seemed as if he arrived like a planetary hyperspace launch station."So this is what true aristocratic privilege looks like?" Creed whispered, "What'd you say?""Uhm… I said… I've never seen a hospital like this before!
Apaurushya - The Continuum 105: Favor
Creed opened his straining eyes pulsating with throbbing agony. As the vision grew slowly, he could see nothing past the blur of lights and shadows. He tried to move his limbs, but a sharp pain shot up his arm. He groaned in pain. All he had were the brief flashbacks of memories from the night before. The Formless beast, the Serpent Woman, and most importantly, Eos' daunting trickery.He tried to move, but he immediately felt restrained. His naked body was wet. His body was completely naked and afloat in a viscous fluid. His eyeballs jittered once he saw the silver edges of curved encasing. He was trapped in a box like a barbie doll.Panic flooded inside his mind when he realized he was inside a bionic pod. He knew what had happened to him? Creed immediately struggled against the restraints, but they held firm. Soon, he heard footsteps approaching, and a door swished open."Ah!! Mr. Gryffon, you're awake!!" A voice landed in his ear. It was a woman's voice, calm and professional. "Hm
Apaurushya - The Continuum 104: Uncanny Idiocy
The serpent woman's spine-curling screams pushed even the Formless beast to his limits, causing him to reconsider his position in the hierarchy of dominance, as they served as a warning and clear indication of the carnage she was capable of unleashing.She issued an open threat against the formless beast that he must not take another step forward. This situation was way beyond Creed's caliber. ~GRRRARGGGGGGHHHHSoon enough, the formless beast also roared on top of his lungs. His killing intent directed at the serpent woman forcefully standing between him and Creed. Both creatures relentlessly tried to force each into submission but were also greatly wary of each other's powers.Creed was encountering a clash between two superior predominant entities. The last thing Creed wanted to do was fuck around and find out. Right now, His atoms in his body were screaming at him to run away but his body was in dreary paralysis because of her presence. However, the next second, the snake woman
Apaurushya - The Continuum 103: Intrusion Of Numen
With a roar, the ferocious beast charged at Creed, its killing intent crystal clear. Creed's heart pounded in his chest as he braced himself for impact. His sword sliced through the beast's flesh. But that was not good news, but quite the opposite. As Creed's sword locked inside the creature's body, the beast taunted him with a cruel grin. Creed's heart sank as he realized he had made a fatal mistake.The cunning bastard rendered his sword orbit completely useless with his flawless strategy by letting him dig his sword into his own non vital organs. Creed's hair stood straight behind his neck as he understood how intelligent this abnormality was."Fuck! Is this it?" ~huff ~huff ~huff "I guess… I bit more than i could chew— "Before Creed could finish his sentence, his breaths turned shallow. The beast viciously ripped his arm from his shoulder. The beast then slammed him to the ground with such force that Creed felt his bones shatter beneath him. ~arggghhhHe wheezed much oxygen
Apaurushya - The Continuum 102: Caliber Of Death Bringer
The next instant, Grisha's eyes were splashed with His blood, which finally forced her to return to reality. She was even more surprised by Creed's frantic scream."LIEUTENANT, SNAP OUT OF IT!! I CAN'T HOLD HIM FOR TOO LONG!!!""You change your mind??" Grisha yelled, "Now is not the time!! Just FUCKING DO SOMETHING!! Don't make me regret my decision!!"Grisha's eyes changed to the deepest shade of purple the following instant. Her eyes radiated an atmosphere that was more viscous than molasses. The earth beneath her feet darkened, appearing to be on fire.A rhythmic shockwave erupted and spewed noxious gas into the air. A razor-sharp crescent slice spread into the air, illuminating it with a neon brilliance. The sword stroke struck the beast in the chest, pushing him away from Creed.She appeared right next to Creed and pulled him up from the ground. "How long does your berserk skill last?" She asked, "5 more minutes! then i'll probably pass out!" Creed answers, "Yours?""6 minute
Apaurushya - The Continuum 101: The Only Escape
Grisha let out a bellow of frustration, "Shit! I have to go back! We need to help him!"Creed's mouth twisted into a sinister grin. "No! Wait!" he hissed. "This is our opportunity. Let's run, Lieutenant. We can't handle this anomaly. But now, while it's distracted, we might be able to slip away. It's our only chance.""You heartless bastard!" Grisha spat."What?" Creed jerked his head in surprise."You're going to leave him behind?""Why not?" Creed nodded immediately. "I did everything I could! But it didn't work out. What else can we do here but save ourselves?"Grisha clicked her tongue in vexation. "I'll never understand you. What if he has a family waiting for him?""Lieutenant, stop wasting time. That creature is no joke. If we stood a chance, I would have helped, but we don't. Besides, I don't even know the guy. Why should I risk my neck for him?""You're despicable. ASSHOLE!" Grisha jeered, "You know what? Just fuck off... I'll help him myself."Creed's eyebrows twitched viole
Apaurushya - The Continuum 100: Bringer Of Death
"For fuck's sake, Lieutenant!! It's my soul radix that's keeping him paralyzed! Happy now?" Creed replied in frenzy and ran like a lunatic, leaving them behind, "Trust me we are still within his reach. Stop with the questions and fucking run!!""Oh Crap!!" Grisha immediately understood why Creed was pressing them to run. "Should have told us earlier, you idiot!!"Grisha, realizing her stupidity, grabbed Eos by his arm and bolted forward once again. The ground caved inside with her feet from the impact. However, just after taking a couple steps she felt a claw sinking deep inside the armor's back plate reaching all the way to her spine.Blood gushed out like a fountain, as if a dam had burst within Grisha's body, staining the ground crimson and creating a pool of death beneath her. Eos was frozen in shock for a moment, but the sight of her bloodied back snapped him out of it. The beast was so close that its foul breath rubbed against his neck, draining the life out of veins. He wanted
