System Of Blood: To Crave Survival First Absorption
CHAPTER 138Camryn's POVThe eastern territories smelled like smoke and blood and something acrid that clung to the back of my throat. We moved through streets I barely recognized from my first weeks in Lenore buildings that had housed families now stood empty, their windows shattered like broken teeth. Fires burned in scattered clusters, painting everything in shades of orange and black."Signature ahead," Whitney whispered, her detection equipment glowing faintly. "Class B. Grief Weaver variant, but wrong somehow. The pattern doesn't match anything in the archives."I felt it too, now that I'd absorbed enough system functions to sense anomalies myself. It wasn't just grief…it was grief filtered through layers of code, emotional pain converted into executable functions that happened to manifest as a monster. Julian had been right. Anomalies weren't creatures. They were programs wearing flesh."How far?" Amon asked, his shadows spreading thin across the rubble."Two blocks north. In w
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival Stake It All
CHAPTER 137Camryn's POV I thought about everyone in Lenore. About the survivors of Julian's integration program. About the civilians dying in riots. About my team and their determination to find a third option even when the system said only two existed."Yes," I said. "If the alternative is choosing between genocide and surrender, then yes. I'll take the gamble.""Then you're braver than I am. Or more foolish." Julian settled back in his restraints. "The device you're holding is the most dangerous object in Lenore. More dangerous than Intent generators or integration chambers or anything I've built. Because it's the key to rewriting reality itself. Use it carefully.""Any other advice?" Miranda asked."Yes. When the emergency response spawns, it'll target the greatest threat first. Which means it'll come for me." He smiled grimly. "I'm the Marionettist. The final boss. The system will try to protect me while simultaneously trying to kill everyone who's captured me. It creates intere
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival System Architecture
CHAPTER 136Camryn's POVJulian looked unsurprised when we returned with the entire team."So you told them," he said, examining our faces. "And they believed you. Or at least, they verified enough to accept the possibility.""We verified everything," Whitney said, her voice hard. "The code, the player designations, the historical records. It's all real.""Of course it is. I have no reason to lie at this point." He shifted in his restraints, trying to find a more comfortable position. "So what now? You kill me to save yourselves? Or you let Intent hit critical mass and we all die together in a glorious failure?""Neither," I said. "You're going to help us find an exploit. A way to break the system without killing you or destroying Lenore."Julian laughed, genuinely surprised. "I spent eight years looking for exactly that. What makes you think you can find it in six days?""Because we have something you didn't." I pulled out the absorption device, the violet light casting strange shado
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival No Reset This Time
CHAPTER 135Camryn's POVWhitney wiped her eyes, forcing herself back into analytical mode. "I'll need time. Access to more examples. But yes, I can test it.""Olyrienne," Miranda continued, "your Hemlock ability swaps realities. Can you use it to look for inconsistencies? Places where the game's programming shows through?""I can try. But if the game is sophisticated enough to fool us this completely, I'm not sure what inconsistencies I'd find.""Try anyway. Fabian, Reginald, I need you to interview the survivors from the integration program. See if any of them have memories of transmigrating. If players retain some awareness of their original lives, we might find patterns.""And me?" Amon asked."Stay with Julian. Make sure he doesn't escape or kill himself or do anything that would end the game prematurely. We need him alive until we understand what we're dealing with.""What about you?" I asked Miranda."I'm going to search House Castellan's archives. If this game has been running
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival Players
CHAPTER 134Camryn's POVI gathered the team in what used to be Julian's command center.Six people I'd fought beside for months. Six people who deserved to know the truth, even if the truth would break something fundamental in how they understood reality.Amon noticed my expression first. "What did he tell you?""Everything." I activated the command center's main display, pulling up the schematics I'd memorized from Julian's containment cell. "And I need you to look at something before I explain."I projected the suppression runes from Julian's cell, magnifying the sections where I'd seen the code. At first glance, they looked like standard containment symbols, geometric patterns designed to suppress anomaly abilities and prevent escape."Look closer," I said. "At the spaces between the primary runes."Whitney leaned forward, her analytical mind immediately catching what I'd seen. "That's... not any language I recognize. The symbols are too regular. Too systematic.""It's code," I sa
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival It's All a Game
CHAPTER 133Camryn's POV"It means I'm tied to the system. Every anomaly that manifests, I feel it. Every person who gets infected, I'm responsible. Every death, every transformation, every moment of terror, it all flows through me." He opened his eyes, and they were hollow. "I've been drowning in Intent for eight years. Feeling everyone's fear and grief and rage simultaneously. The only way to survive it was to stop seeing people as people. To treat them as variables in equations. To become what you accused me of being,a monster who calculates suffering in acceptable percentages.""You could have told someone. Found help.""Who would help the person generating the crisis? Who would save the monster?" He laughed bitterly. "No. The game is designed so the Marionettist suffers alone. Isolated by their role. Destroyed by their responsibility. Until a player defeats them and the cycle continues."I wanted to call him a liar. Wanted to dismiss everything as manipulation. But the despair in
