As I sat in the café, I immersed myself in my thoughts and imagination repeatedly. Unlike others who might only think two or three steps ahead or merely 5 to 15 minutes into the future when making plans, I delved deeper. I meticulously planned from the beginning to the very end, revisiting and refining the strategy 5-10 times. My mind was adept at foreseeing potential errors and devising ways to preemptively address them, ensuring that every minute detail was accounted for.

‘Because one single error, a human may die. Regret was the last thing I wanted in my life.’

One of the shadow soldiers approached, breaking my concentration. "Sir, we have removed the iron door. Now, moving the box will be easier. We've also emptied its contents, and the box is currently concealing us as we're inside the warehouse."

"Alright," I responded, standing up. I immediately called all shadow troops to attention. "I will go over the briefing thrice. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me. W

    Jack grabbed his smartphone, intending to make a call, but his mind began to distort unexpectedly. Unintentionally, he had inhaled more sleeping gas than he realized. He gasped, fighting to hold his breath. Jack had been trained to hold his breath for up to 10 minutes, but the gas's effects were swift and disorienting. His vision blurred, thoughts became muddled, and he too started to lose consciousness.His smartphone slipped from his grasp and landed on the floor, and he followed suit. "The enemy is here..." he mumbled in an unclear voice.Exactly one minute after the gas deployment, the shadow soldiers inside the warehouse cautiously emerged. The sealed doors of the town hall had transformed it into a closed chamber, making the gas even more effective. They conducted a swift but thorough sweep, confirming that everyone inside was incapacitated.Two soldiers quickly moved to the warehouse to retrieve boxes and handcuff

    After their second failed attempt to connect with Jack, Prince Nicholas and Kevin started to worry about the potential danger lurking in their plan."Should we abandon our plan?" Kevin queried, his voice tinged with uncertainty.Prince Nicholas, looking at the front, saw that it was just a few steps to enter the gate and retrieve all his possessions. However, there was a possible danger.Suddenly, the phone rang, cutting through the tense silence."It's Jack," Kevin announced, activating the speakerphone to allow Prince Nicholas to hear. "Jack, what's going on? Why didn't you answer earlier?"Panic laced Jack's voice as he responded, "Those Oakhaven’s people and the Shadow Troops ambushed us.""What?" Kevin's voice rose in disbelief."Twenty Shadow Troops tried to rescue the hostages using sleeping gas. But we managed to eliminate them, along with half the hostages," Jack explained, his tone heavy with stress. "Whatever you're doing, please hurry. I can't guarantee the safety of the r

    Nadine lingered outside the study hall, her brow furrowed in disbelief. "Are they really this stupid? To cluster all their guards inside and then seal themselves in?" she muttered under her breath. Her tone dripped with a mix of amusement and scorn. Around her, a hundred shadow troops stood in formation, each one armed with a machine gun.Most of the Shadow Troops had already left Oakhaven for Paris. In just an hour, Nadine had managed to rally reinforcements from Paris while waiting for Prince Nicholas to arrive. They had even found time for a brief wine competition while awaiting his arrival. "Didn't that foolish Prince consider this before coming here?" she thought, her lips curling into a sly smile.“He is practically walking into a tiger's den.” She turned to her troops. "Ninety of you, go. Secure the staff and the royal guards. Handcuff them all." Her voice was firm, commanding respect."Yes, ma'am," they responded in unison, their movements synchronized and precise.A sudden cr

    Fransica locked her eyes to mine. She slowly spoke in fear and teary eyes, "Prince, I will always be loyal to you.""Good," Lucas replied and pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed hauntingly across the training ground. A bullet suddenly shot out from Fransica's forehead, and blood splattered on my face.The bullet hit my body but was already weakened, the pain in my heart was greater. My people, Fransica's life was extinguished in an instant, her body collapsing before me, a bullet wound stark on the back of her head. The shock, the gore, the sheer brutality of it all left me reeling in horror and disbelief.She was the one who consistently greeted me with a smile and had been by my side since my early years, baking me cookies. Now, she is gone forever."Next," Lucas yelled. Two soldiers dragged Fransica's body away, and the other two Shadow Soldiers took a new hostage, a woman named Maria who had an exceptionally pale complexion.Lucas forced Maria to kneel and repeated

    AuroraWith every ounce of strength I could muster, I clutched at the searing pain in my neck. Desperately, I grasped the serum, its vials scattered from their box. In a flurry of motion, I attempted to inject it into my thigh, but in my haste, I erred. The serum was inverted, instead of piercing my thigh, the needle pierced my thumb instead.This misstep slowed the serum's journey to my heart.My mind, deprived of oxygen, plunged into an abyss of emptiness. Yet, in this void, a fiery sensation began to stir. Starting from my throbbing thumb, it wound its way towards my sluggishly beating heart. Upon reaching its destination, it erupted like a dormant volcano awakening. My heart raced, pumping the serum throughout my whole body with renewed vigor.I felt a transformation overtaking me. My body swelled in size; muscles tensed and bones seemed to twist and reform. Consumed by a primal rage, I lashed out. Scarlet, caught off guard by my sudden ferocity, was thrown through the window.

    “Why must I choose wisely?” Prince Nicholas inquired, his tone laced with incredulity, as if the question itself was a strange, foreign concept. “He was my butler, paid to protect me. Of course, he must be willing to die for me.” His words, cold and dismissive, echoed through the field.The butler’s head drooped, a picture of utter defeat and resignation. He seemed like a wilting flower, his spirit crushed under the weight of his master's callousness.Beside me, Nadine's hand struck my shoulder with a friendly gesture. Her eyes bore into mine, searching, questioning. "Do you still think he is a good person?"I turned to face Prince Nicholas. “All beings, whether human or werewolf, possess equal rights. You cannot whimsically decide who lives and who dies based on your own selfish desires.”“I am the Prince, I am different!”As heard it, I realized the futility of my words. To Nicholas, others were merely pawns in his grand game, their lives and emotions inconsequential.Nadine’s grip

    “Do you realize the strength of your blow?” Lucas rubbed his neck, wincing slightly. “It still throbs with pain.”“I'm truly sorry,” I blurted out in a rush of guilt.“Don’t be,” he replied, his eyes ablaze with a mix of desire and a commanding presence. “I find myself drawn to you even more now. Be mine, Aurora.”My cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson under his intense gaze.“Enough,” Nathan interjected firmly, stepping to my side with concern etching his features. “We agreed to give Aurora the time she needs.” He glanced at me, a hint of awe and curiosity in his tone. “I never knew you possessed such strength. Aurora, who are you, truly?”Nadine waved dismissively at the boys, her voice laced with irritation. "Stop flirting with Aurora. She needs to focus on her decision regarding the Prince." She looked at me squarely. "So, which will it be? A fortune of $100 million or that detestable man? For your information, I can line up a lot of detestable mans with only $100, in case you

    BiancaIn the soft light of morning, we found ourselves in the castle's grand dining room, now transformed into a cafeteria. The space was filled with a mix of royal guards and shadow troops. Amid this unusual congregation, I found myself, quite amusingly, sharing a table with Ethan, Nathan, and Selena. Our interactions were an odd juxtaposition to our roles as love enemies.Nadine joined our gathering, her plate brimming with an assortment of meats. She seamlessly connected with everyone present. She exuded the presence of a caring older sister, a feeling shared by many in the room. She was Alex's trusted confidante. There were rumors circulating that if Aurora wasn't Alex's destined Luna, Nadine would be Alex's top choice. This was because of the deep bond between Alex and Nadine, as they cared for each other deeply.Compelled by curiosity, I leaned towards Nadine. “Nadine,” I began cautiously, “Aurora has risen as ‘a Luna with a pack,’ an unusual concept in the alpha-dominated hier

    I looked at the baby he was so cute, but I know I had to act. I dressed him in new clothes and wrote the prophecy about his future role in saving the world on the cloth. He was destined to return here, to build a dome for humanity and fulfill his fate—perhaps he had already completed his mission. I donned the wrist device and fashioned a smaller one for the baby, so we could travel through time together. But first, I had to ensure that the future would be free of problems. The spheres were set to manage the environment, programmed to halt their work when CO2 levels reached 0.04%. As for who would rule in the future, I chose not to decide. The people must learn to govern themselves; some were already training to use the spheres. I couldn't always be their deity; they needed to become self-sufficient. With the baby in tow, I prepared to leave this era, knowing I would never return; it wasn't my place. Together, we activated the high-frequency drive, propelling us into the fourth

    On the night the baby was born, the parents was sleeping soundly, unaware of the sphere descended to take a sample of the newborn's blood.It was painless. And the sphere quickly checked the DNA.As the results flashed on the screen, it not fit my DNA. But I saw a connection between myself and this baby—a sibling, perhaps.I didn’t now if I have messed up with the future or I still unborn in this time.Two years later, the woman I believed to be my mother was expecting again, this time a daughter. It was clear then that the baby wasn’t me.All I can do was waiting.In the five years since I came here, we constructed 76,910 domes worldwide, sheltering 500 million survivors from the once 8 billion-strong human population.The disparity was stark: some domes teemed with life, while others stood empty, their ecosystems meticulously engineered and automated, home only to selected wildlife.The advent of virtual exploration allowed people to survey these domes remotely, relocating if they f

    "Show me where my parents are," I commanded the sphere with excitement. After long years, I was about to meet my long-lost parents.The sphere generated a screen for me to view, revealing a young man and woman, perhaps around 20 years old, entering the Eden Dome for the first time. They appeared bewildered and lost, their eyes wide with a mix of fear and wonder."Are you sure they are my parents?" I questioned, my brow furrowed in doubt. They were even younger than me. It felt odd, almost as if I should call them little brother and sister instead of parents."Yes, Master," the sphere responded affirmatively. "Your genetic DNA matches theirs perfectly.""But," I hesitated, scrutinizing the image, my heart pounding with a strange apprehension. "Send one sphere to them; I need to ask them something."The distance seemed vast, with our dome situated half a world away, creating a chasm between us."As you wish, Master."A sphere glided toward the man and woman in the distant dome.

    "Guys, please stop it," I implored, the urgency clear in my voice. "There will be no use."The spheres that had been hovering alongside each of the gang’s leaders and their members suddenly flared into a menacing red hue. "The host is showing harmful behavior. The security protocol will be launched," it announced in a dispassionate tone.Without warning, the spheres emitted a piercing frequency that targeted all guns, weapons, and harmful items. In moments, they disintegrated into fine atom dust, which the sphere then collected and whisked away, presumably to be repurposed as building material.The bear leader's and all gang’s members face registered shock, then eyes wide with disbelief and fear."In Eden, when you make a mistake, there are two options for you to choose from," I continued, my voice steady. "One, we simply expel you back to where you came from. Or, alternatively, you can e

    In the dimly lit underground city, I had just finished selling my last can of food. Eagerly, I was about to purchase more slaves, when the bear gang leader approached me with his smelly body odour.Water was precious here; people wash their body once a year.His burly frame cast a long shadow as he strode towards me, flanked by two other gang’s leaders, their footsteps echoing in the small alley.“Alex, the fish seller,” he growled, his voice deep and menacing.“That’s me!” I responded with a cheerful smile.“We want you to take us to the fish factory. Can you, do it?” His eyes, sharp and probing, seemed to pierce through me, daring me to decline.“Sure,” I replied happily. “The owner already mentioned he'd be thrilled to have you all there. He said there’s plenty of food.”“Really?” he asked, scepticism written all over his rugged face.“Yes, take as many people as you can,” I urged, sensing their disbelief.The three of them exchanged looks of shock and disbelief. “Whatever,” one of

    I stood in my house, gazing at the sprawling expanse of New York City below, dreaming of transforming it into a colossal dome.However, the architectural limitations soon became apparent, leading to a revised plan of constructing a network of smaller domes, each the size of a soccer field, interconnected like a honeycomb.This design was not only efficient but also practical in case of emergencies, such as shattered glass or structural failures. It could be easily detached and repaired without causing trouble to the entire dome.As the temperature inside the dome needed to be controlled for the plants and for the humans.The first group of eighty slaves, were settled in one of the completed domes. For the time being, they shared a common sleeping area, heavily medicated to aid their recovery and adjustment to their new environment.Each person was assigned a spherical device designed to help them acclimate to this "new Eden."At the night before, I was guiding them out of the undergro

    ‘No, I cannot move now before I know everything about them. I may wrongly save people and cause trouble. I need to study them more,’ I thought, my mind racing with caution.“Spheres 567, stay on the underground and record everything about their activities,” I commanded, letting them delve into the shadows.Finding one of the human underground hubs, I dispatched another hundred spheres to scout the area. Because humans may concentrate in one locale, and my hunch was spot on.Humans were crafting an underground city, intertwining with the natural caves and beginning to carve out a vast space within the earth's embrace.Through the spherical eyes, I glimpsed a colossal chamber that sparked memories of the largest underground city ever discovered, Derinkuyu in Cappadocia, Turkey, capable of sheltering around 20,000 people along with their livestock and food stores.But the population here seemed to surpass 80,000, with the capacity to house over 200,000. As I used the spheres to map the e

    One had to remember where he was from. I had completed my research to elevate human frequency to a higher dimension, allowing passage through space and time. This ambition was fueled by my desire to meet my parents in the future.In my study room, I carefully handled the clothes that had swaddled me as a baby, left at the orphanage door. The fabric held the mystery of my origins. Despite using the gate to the past to uncover who had placed me at the orphanage, no one appeared. The clothes and I simply materialized out of nowhere.I placed the garment on the scanning blueprint machine, aiming to record every atom and deduce the era it hailed from. This information was pivotal for my journey to that specific time.The smart device strapped to my wrist was brimming with data necessary for the impending future war. In moments, the year 2112 flashed on its screen. Was it truly 80 years into the future?Activating the smart device on my left arm, my body began to feel ethereal, as the body

    AlexI brought back a child, a five-year-old girl, to my mansion when I encountered Nadine. "Can you take care of this child as you do our own?" I asked tentatively."Who is she?" Nadine inquired, her eyes narrowing slightly in confusion and curiosity.I hesitated, grappling with the truth. The thought of Nadine possibly becoming a cruel stepmother to Aurora's daughter haunted me. But the weight of the secret was too heavy. As she could find the answer by herself anytime she wants."She is Aurora's daughter," I confessed. "I killed Nicholas, and soon Aurora will vanish from this world. This child is utterly alone, bearing no fault in these tragic events.""And her name?" Nadine pressed, her demeanour softening as she gently took the child into her arms, cradling her with maternal warmth.Shaking my head, I replied, "Aurora refused to name her. She's been living like a shadow among the maids, an unwanted soul.""How heartless can one be!" Nadine exclaimed, her face contorting in anger
