Chapter: Red To Silver.Sebastian“You're trying to tell me that those boys are already infected?” I asked in horror as I searched through the trash bin, taking out the cotton swab that contained their dried blood. “But how? Was this why they were kidnapped? Does someone else know of the apocalypse?” All the questions tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop myself.As someone who used to perform experiments in this lab, nothing felt unfamiliar. I got behind the desk as I placed the swabs on a flat surface before adding a drop of antiseptic to make it liquid again. That single drop of blood was transferred into a glass slide that I moved under the microscope before adjusting the lens.“The apocalypse has already begun. It just hasn't started taking effect. A random person walking might already be carrying the disease.” Buis explained as I looked through the lens of the microscope.A soft gasp escaped my lips when I realized it was right. Strange, dark and tiny particles danced in the liquid, and I watched

Chapter: Mission 001.8Sebastian“What do you mean I have to send them out?” I asked in confusion. “You made me risk my life to save them. I almost died. What is the use of the mission, if I'm gonna send them out when you made me rescue them? What the hell are you making me do?”“The mission was for you to save them. Not keep them.”“But they have nowhere else to go! How can I just let them back out on the streets when they’ve seen me as their only hope? What if they get caught again?” I queried in frustration but Buis didn't seem to care at all.“That is not for you to worry about. They will find their way. Your next mission is–”“No.” I interrupted, my gaze defiant. “I will not undergo any other mission unless you tell me what I saved those boys for. You can't keep making me do things without even knowing what I'm doing them for.”“If you don't send them out, you will be—”“Terminated? Isn't that absurd?” I asked in frustration. “I just need answers. Is that so hard? I don't even know why you're in me. Wh

Chapter: Level: Warrior.SebastianI thought we wouldn't make it. But at the very last second, the car burst through the gates and landed on the streets, screeching to a halt before turning to the right as it sped down the road.We actually made it.A loud ding from the system had me wincing as the screen changed back to its usual blue color, a bold "MISSION COMPLETED” written on it, and only then did I finally let out a sigh of relief. I wasn’t dying anytime soon.“Did we lose them?” I heard them ask as the car slowed and I looked behind me to see we weren’t being chased yet.“For now.” I yelled back and he finally stepped on the brakes, making the car screech to a stop. The pain from slamming into the door earlier finally registered as I winced in pain and rubbed my forehead. I froze when I felt blood trickle down my face and then let out a sigh as I wiped it off with my shirt.“You should drive. I have no idea where we are going.” the one who had been driving said as he moved to the back seat and I got int

Chapter: The Escape Out Of The Core.SebastianWith shaky hands, I managed to close the lock once again and hid behind the cage, my heart beating wildly in my chest.The footsteps came closer and the door opened as a figure stepped in.“What's all the ruckus? Who tried to escape?” That was the voice of a man, probably a guard or one of the military officials who guarded this place. The whole place went silent and I had to hold my breath to avoid giving myself away. On the screen, I saw that I only had twenty-five minutes left. I couldn't waste that time trying to play hide and seek with a guard.When I heard him come closer, I reached behind me, grabbing the huge rock that sat there like it was waiting for me to use it.Just as the official made his way to my side, I shot up at once, startling him. Before he could raise an alarm, I slammed the rock at the back of his head, wincing when he passed out at once and slammed to the ground.“Oh god. I'm so sorry.” I whispered as I crouched down, placing my hand over his nose.

Chapter: The Past Should Remain In The Past.Sebastian I literally watched the system deduct one hour from my time because I was talking to this asshole who wouldn't stop trying to make life all about him.“Who are you talking to?” John asked with raised brows, but I quickly brushed past him, making my way out of the house. “Sebastian! What has come over you?”He didn't stop following me even as I tried to avoid him and when I finally hit the streets, he grabbed my hand, making me groan in frustration.“Talk to me—”"God damn it, John! Leave me alone! You're literally getting me killed!” I snapped, yanking my hand out of his grip, and my heart sank when the timer changed once again.21:45:34I lost two hours and it wasn't even my fault!“Sebastian!” He called out as I got into a sprint, running away from him as fast as I could. He should have left me alone after cutting off our friendship at his stupid birthday party. “You have 21 hours to complete your mission. Remember, failure will not be accepted.” The system said and I s

Chapter: Rebooting.Sebastian “In my past life, there were no missing boys. Is there something I'm missing?” I asked, staring at the glowing screen that had the mission written on it.“Everything is proceeding according to protocol, Host.” Buis replied and I blinked, tilting my head in confusion.“Host? What do you mean?” I questioned and the blue screen suddenly glitched. For a whole minute, all I could hear was my own breathing as the system remained silent.Suddenly, lines of distorted letters flashed across the screen before displaying in bright red: “ERROR. REBOOTING.”“What is happening?” I asked as my heart started to pound in my chest but I got no answer. Just the glitching sound that echoed through the space.And then, the screen went black. Like it turned off completely. “Buis?” I called out softly but there was nothing. With a frown, I pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight, lighting up the space. “Are you ignoring me now?” I asked in despair as I rubbed the space between my brows

Chapter: My Body As An Oath.WILLIAM“You're home late.”Michael. Why the hell was he still awake?“I wasn't planning to come home tonight. But I had a change of plans." I said calmly as I made my way past him but he suddenly grabbed my hand, pulling me to him.I froze when he buried his face in my neck, sniffing me before pulling back with a look of disapproval on his face.“So what? Did he fuck you as good as I did? You feel good knowing that you're playing with me the way you like?” He asked as his grip on my hand tightened and I struggled against his grip.“You're an asshole, Michael." I snapped, finally pushing him away from me. “You're the one who has been playing with me. You have been messing with me. And now it hurts you that I'm finally moving on from you? What do you take me for?” I snapped and suddenly realized that my stepmom was upstairs and she was probably hearing us.Fuck. “I never played with you. Not once. Not ever. I didn't plan to fall for you, but you fucking pulled me in! I tried to stop

Chapter: Mike... I'm Cumming...WILLIAM Carolina? What did she want from me so late?“Is something wrong?” Leo asked from behind me and I immediately switched the phone off before turning to him. “Everything is fine,” I muttered, returning to the bed. This was probably the first time since we moved here that I stayed out of the house for the night. “Do you still wanna do this?”“Yes. I could spend my whole life making it up to you, William.” He replied as I got back on the bed and climbed on top of him again. “I'll do anything and everything you want.”“Can you help me forget about someone then?” I whispered, leaning down until our faces were inches from each other. “I need you to make me remember only your name. Can you do that?”“Anything for you.” He whispered, grabbing my waist just like I taught him, and I smiled. “I've got lube and condoms in the drawer.”I couldn't help but raise a brow as I wondered if he had this planned or if he was just a simp for sex.I reached for the drawer anyway and took out the sm

Chapter: All Men Do Is Lie.WILLIAM I didn't want to believe a word he had to say but with him stroking my cock like this, I could barely think. “Just stay with me.” He begged, kissing my neck and sucking on it, making me grab his shoulders for support. “You're the only one I want.”Then it suddenly clicked. This was what he was good at. Lying and deceiving. And he was doing the same thing to me right now, while I was stupidly falling for his tricks.“Stop, that's enough.” I pulled away immediately, pushing him off me. “You can go tell that to my stepmom at home. I will not let you touch me like this again.”“Will…”“You're getting married to her, I don't care if you love her or not. But you will not fuck her, be with her, tell her you love and then tell me the same bullshit. I'm not a child, Michael. I'm not a fool. And I won't fall for your tricks.” I said sternly as I walked over to his table, remembering there was a button under it to open the door.When I found it and heard the door click open, I heaved o

Chapter: You Love Me?WILLIAMMichael stood by the door, his gaze dark as he stared at me. But I chose to act like I didn't see him and washed my hands in the sink. Leo stepped out right after, unaware of the tension in the restroom right now.“Oh, hi.” Leo greeted Michael with a smile and a small bow after he washed his hands as he walked out of the bathroom. “I'll text you, William.”I rolled my eyes as I dried my hands and just then, Michael slammed the door shut, making me flinch.“I had no idea that best friends jerk each other off in the restroom.” He started, obviously jealous and I rolled my eyes once again.“And I had no idea CEOs were so free that they had the time to stalk their workers.” I responded flatly, turning to him and he didn't look pleased at all.“You realize that you're mine, right? And that I won't let you slip out of my fingers like that, right?” He asked, inching closer to me and I gulped, taking multiple steps back.“I'm not your property. I don't belong to you or anyone. Screw y

Chapter: Jerk Off Together Like Old Times.WILLIAM “I hate you so much. Can you let me go now?” I snapped, trying to push him off me but he grabbed my face. Then he kissed me desperately even when I didn't respond.“Just stop!” I yelled, pushing him off me. “Fuck you, Michael! Do you even realize what you're doing?”“Why won't you listen to me?” He asked, trying to grab me again but I pushed him off. “Am I supposed to stand by and watch you walk away with another man?”“That was my best friend. I reckoned you'd have already found that out, you're a stalker after all!” I snapped and he ran a hand through his hair in despair.“You mean the world to me, Will, I just—”“Don't call me that. And don't lie to me. I'm fucking done with this. I'm done with you.” I muttered, making his face fall. “And if you keep trying to mess with me, I will quit and leave. I swear you or my awful stepmom will never see me again. You're the fucking reason I didn't run when I could.”With that, I took my phone and the tablet before turning to him.“I'

Chapter: Old Flames.WILLIAM “William?” He called out in shock as he helped me up, the door closing shut behind him and I had to rub my eyes to be sure I was seeing clearly.“Leo?” I called out as well, unable to believe he was actually here. “What are you doing here?”“I-I got a job here today! I just came in!” He said in excitement as he reached out to touch my face but I stepped back. “You work here?”“I do.” I muttered, swallowing the lump in my throat. “I didn't think I'd see you again.”“Maybe this is the universe's way of telling us that we belong to each other.” He whispered and I scoffed, shaking my head. “I know. I know I ruined what we had, I messed up pretty badly. But it's been years. You still haven't forgiven me?”“I hold no grudge against you, Leo. I just don't think what we had was anything special. If you'll excuse me—”“Wait, please.” He pleaded, grabbing my hand and I paused. “I never stopped loving you.”“Cut it off, Leo.” I snapped, pulling my hand out of his grip. “You keep forgett
