LOGINDanny’s POVHe swallowed the whole thing in one go, like he hadn’t just heard me scream.The cup hit the tray with a soft clink.Before I could breathe, Tony had his gun out, the muzzle pointed right between my eyes.“Did you put something in that?” His knuckles were white on the grip. “Why would you scream at him not to drink it?”I threw my hands up. My knees were shaking so badly I wasn’t sure they’d hold. I couldn’t look away from the bed.He drank it. Every drop.“I didn’t... I didn’t...”I’m dead. The thought landed in my head, flat and quiet. If that dirt kills him, I’m next.I squeezed my eyes shut. System. Please. Beam me out of here. Send me back to Earth, I’ll even take the strangling.Nothing. Not one ping. That stupid thing was probably sitting back with popcorn.“Are you feeling alright, darling?” Katherine said softly. She stood right beside the mattress, clutching her silk dress, her eyes glued to Chadwick’s face. She was waiting for his throat to close. She was waiti
Danny's POV [DING!] [Emergency Medical Override Authorized.] [Item Dispensed: 1x Botanical Cure Core (Pure Seedling Extract).] [Note: Brew immediately via thermal extraction to neutralize Level 4 Soil Toxin.] A strange, cold blue seed materialized in my palm. It pulsed faintly against my skin like a tiny, glowing heart. I stumbled out of the cell door. Emergency sirens were screaming through the hallway, flashing harsh red light against the stone walls. Soldiers were sprinting past, shouting panicked orders, completely ignoring me. Being the most hated, discarded Omega in the Citadel finally worked in my favor, nobody cared enough to stop me. And all thanks to the wicked Danny, former owner of this body, I could easily navigate my way into the kitchen direction. I slammed through the wooden doors of the kitchen. It was a massive cavern filled with roaring brick hearths, steam, and the bitter stink of low-grade ration paste. Dozens of cooks were frantically stirring
Danny's POV The cold, suffocating blackness squeezed my chest until I couldn't breathe. My hands clawed frantically at the metal door, but there was nothing to hold onto. In my head, I wasn't in a post apocalyptic shelter anymore, I was ten years old again, locked in a pitch-black closet with my baby brother Connor, listening to our father's violent rages on the other side of the thin wall.System! I gasped internally, my lungs seizing up as cold panic crushed my ribs. Give me light! Anything![DING!][Host Vitals Critical: Severe PTSD Reaction Detected.][Deploying Utility: Emergency Phosphorescent Spores (1x Use).]A soft, pale green glow erupted from my palms, scattering tiny botanical spores into the heavy air. It wasn't much, but the faint ambient light broke the terrifying void. I slumped against the cold door, taking long, shuddering breaths as the soft green luminescence helped bring my racing heart back under control.Click.The heavy iron lock turned, and the door swung o
Danny's POV A searing, burning sensation shot through my palms, and I nearly yanked my hands back in agony. But the second my skin locked onto the decay, something extraordinary happened. A blinding golden green light erupted beneath my fingertips. It raced through the blackened earth like glowing veins, illuminating the dead ground beneath my hands. Wherever the light touched, the bubbling purple sludge recoiled violently. The corrosive liquid hissed. FZZZZZZT! I gritted my teeth, ignoring the fire in my arms, and dug my fingers deeper into the soil. "Come on! Work, damn it!" The light flared brighter. Before my eyes, the melting earth stopped dissolving. The toxic purple contamination faded away, leaving behind rich, dark soil that looked almost impossibly healthy against the surrounding. And the purification didn't stop. The golden-green glow spread outward, racing across the ground in a widening wave. Five meters. Ten meters. Fifteen meters. A clear, solid path emerged
Danny's POV "You poisoned me," Chadwick growled, his voice trembling with a dark, suffocating fury. "You left me for dead to be captured by Derek's men, and you stole my children... I will end your pathetic life right here, Danny. What kind of father are you?" The cold steel of the gun pressed harder against my forehead. The rage radiating off this massive Alpha felt like a physical weight crushing my lungs, making it almost impossible to breathe. My knees gave out under the oppressive weight of his pheromones. I hit the dirt hard, raising both hands in absolute surrender. "I know what it looks like!" I gasped, my heart hammering against my ribs so hard it hurt. "I swear... I swear to you, I'm a new person now! I'm not that same guy anymore! You have to listen to believe me." "Save it," Chadwick snapped, his jaw clenching so tight I could hear his teeth grinding in the dark. "I am so damn sick of your games, your tricks, and your lies. I loved you, Danny. I gave you everyth
Danny's POV The guard scoffed, threw his hands up in irritation, and stepped outside, slamming the heavy wooden door shut behind him. Click. "Wow," I muttered under my breath, shaking my head in sheer disbelief. "They have some exceptionally foolish guards in this world." I turned around to face the dark corner of the room. The kids were huddled together, clutching each other so tightly their knuckles were white. The moment my gaze fell on them, both flinched hard, shrinking back as if waiting for a blow. My stomach churned. I walked over, dropping to one knee so I was at eye level with them. "Listen," I whispered, keeping my voice as gentle as possible. "I swear to you... I’m not that bad daddy, alright? He’s... well, he’s on Earth right now. I’m a brand-new guy. And right now, we need to run." Leaving the confused kids for a second, I hurried over to the heavy curtains and peered through the window. It was pitch black outside. Good thing this place is a single-story bunga
