"Seriously! What did you have in the breakfast?" Jake squinted at his opponent, then he peeked at his digital-knife.His knife flashed a mark of 40 points. "You feel very... different. Did you get anxious thinking about the upcoming JETs?""You're thinking too much," Creed jumped towards him. "I am going all-out today.""Oh yeah! That's the spirit," Jake ducked casually and struck his back with his elbow. "Show me how much you can take it."Creed dodged the incoming strike with an immediate block. He knew Jake was not an easy one, so he planned to check how much of effort he could wring out from Jake if he went all out. His primary motive was to gauge his strength against someone with intellect and tactics.Jake Too appreciated the concept of 'letting out some steam once in a while'. He thought Creed was frustrated and anxious because of the upcoming JETs. So he played along while offering his own counters and attacks, without noticing Creed's actu

When Creed saw that Wolf was on his team, his blood boiled. He also saw that his ring was hanging from his neck in form of a necklace. He just wanted to beat him to death, but he couldn't right now. Creed couldn't ignore the fact that Wolf Hilton was a troublesome fly and a crafty fox.What Creed needed right now was patience. His mind was clogged with surviving the current predicament than their petty squabbles. Wolf wasn't weak, but now Creed was no bug either, so he waited patiently to deal with him later with his element of surprise.There was a total of 10 teams who were taking part in this year's JETs, each with around 10-12 members. As Creed predicted, authorities had assigned him to squad-5, which comprised 11 members, including him. They were a balanced team. The place which authorities decided squad-5 to explore was called 'Tomb of Cerberus', a newly discovered labyrinth.Lin started the conversation, "I am the team leader for our team. Some of us know

"Damn it! I think we've lost them!" Lin asked Roy, annoyed. "Can you sense anybody?"Roy shook his head. "Nope! everyone is too far away... "Earlier when the alpha beast appeared, they all ran in different directions and luckily one of the smaller beasts followed Roy and Lin while the alpha followed someone else. Lin and Roy took advantage of this situation and ran away to save themselves.For Roy and Lin, things became pretty straightforward after that. The small one followed both of them and got killed by those two since it was already comparatively weak in front of their teamwork. But now they were too far away from their prior location. Wolf seemed to have run along with Remy in a different direction too.Creed and Mira also got detached from the group. Now they were all lost and scattered. The Hall seemed very huge and spacious since the pillars were blocking their vision in every direction. They couldn't track themselves or others. Lin and Roy gues

"Mateo!""You are alive! But I saw the beast took you." Mira couldn't believe her eyes. "How did you survive?" When they came closer to the pillar, it stunned both of them. They saw Mateo sitting wounded on the floor against the pillar; He was eating something from his pocket. His left hand was badly injured while his clothes were painted with blood. He looked exhausted."Mira!! ... and Creed!!""Where did you come from?" He turned at them, startled, " And how did you guys find me?""We were coming this way to search for others, luckily we spotted you..." Mira replied."Others!!" Mateo retorted, surprised. "So they aren't with you? How did you all scatter?"."Don't ask, It's a long story. All of us got separated so me and Creed are searching for others," Mira explained hastily, then asked. "More importantly, what happened to you after the fight? I almost assumed you were --""Dead!" Mateo interjected, "Well, you weren't t

"What do you mean by 20%?" Mateo glanced at Creed with agitation. "No!! 20% is too low !!""It's either that or nothing!" Creed replied hastily. "And every minute those odds get worse, so decide fast!""I have no problem," Mira said as she looked at Creed."In fact, I like those odds, at least it's not a 'Zero',""I am fine too... it's better than nothing at least," Lin and Roy agreed as they saw this as their last hope. "We don't have a plan anyway!""Yeah, me too," Remy said as she was still slaughtering the newborns."No problem here either," Wolf agreed too."Okay, so if everybody is on board then let me tell you my plan..." Creed kept making gestures and explained his plan while fighting, they all kept listening while keeping the newborns at bay. After he finished explaining everyone went silent, nobody made any comment. Though Mateo's soul seems to be leaking out of his body.  "That's your plan?" Mateo howled angrily,
