You are The Only Thing that Matter

If it weren’t for the imminent curfew, Gemma wouldn’t want to stop. She hadn’t practiced this hard for a while, and the sensation caused an opiate she hadn’t felt in a long time.Not only did Gemma suffer physical injuries, but inside her head, Gemma felt like she was being stirred up to the point where she could barely walk. Servant had to carry her to come back home.The ultimate effect of this training is like a hangover. Everything is spinning, floating, the road is like bumpy.Gemma seemed to have just been thrown onto the bed, and she was as stiff as a corpse.“I’ll have Hazkiel prepare dinner.” Servant walked over to the bedroom door, and before closing it, he said, “Don’t push yourself too hard.”Gemma couldn’t even move her mouth to just reply.Gemma thought she had been asleep for some time, until she heard people talking nearby, then she opened her eyes.But

Surprise, Suppresed

When his boss gave this task, Jo knew that there was interference from his father. Jo could not grumble in front of anyone. He could only vent it along the way to the designated meeting place.His Archturian uniform was a little wet on the shoulders because it was a light drizzle this afternoon on Meubena. The two red stripes on each side of Jo’s sleeve show his fairly high rank in Archturian.Jo looked up to make sure he was at his destination. An old tavern that no one would stop by because of its dirty appearance. The people of Meubena have many luxury options, and this place is not one of them.The words ‘Old Cap’ were carelessly carved on a wooden plank swaying in the wind. The facade of the building comprises dull wood that has aged and weathered. There were only two windows on each wall facing the street, full of dust and dark glass.Jo pushed open the swing door, which was also made of wood, the sound signaling that the hinges ne

The One Sacred Word

Today is d-day.Gemma felt restless. She couldn’t sleep until morning. What does Maya want from her? Does Maya know Gemma has betrayed her? Where has she been all this time?The thoughts swirled in Gemma’s head like a Ferris wheel in a lightning speed. As a result, when morning came, Gemma got nothing other than dizziness. She wobbled to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Gemma stared at her reflection in the small square mirror that hung on the wall. Well, her face wasn’t bad, and she didn’t look pathetic either. But there was something in her eyes that was very disturbing.Is that… guilt?Yes. Of course. As the time for meeting Maya approached, Gemma had no other feelings than guilt. She shouldn’t have exchanged Maya for a pile of money, for the sake of her own freedom.It was so… embarrassing. That is not the attitude of a soldier. Yeah, Gemma knew she wasn’t a soldier, but she wa

Backstaber

Gemma saw through the glass wall, to the Elenio’s sky which was slowly turning a purple color. The people of this country will spend yet another night in the silence and eerie feeling that has become a part of their lives.“Is this the meeting place?” asked Servant, who was standing beside Gemma and watching the sun go down.Gemma shook her head. “No. The King’s Door is in the basement of this building.”“Then what are we doing here?”Gemma looked back at the other side of the room. There, she had spent some time with Nero.Remembering Nero made her heart jolted a little. Her heart felt tight. Unconsciously, she hugged herself tightly. She was wrapped in Nero’s black jacket. Nero’s scent had disappeared, but the memory of it still lingered in Gemma’s mind.Is it normal for her to be like this? Gemma doesn’t think so.“Just waiting for the night to come. Maya

So Long, Partner

Gemma looked at Maya one last time, then she stood beside Servant while pulling Einar out of her hands.“Something’s odd,” said Servant, as Gemma concentrated on being able to see in the darkness. Where are the Draconians at? Apart from the stench that was filling the air, Gemma couldn’t see where those monsters were.“What?” Gemma was in battle mode. She gripped Einar tightly and deadly in her hands.“Their energy... is mixed with humans,” said Servant.“Are there humans fighting with them?”Gemma was hearing it. The Draconians’ heavy breaths and growls. They multiply.“No,” answered Servant.And right after Servant shut his mouth, those filthy creatures showed up.Draconian, jumping from the second floor, one after another. Surround Gemma and Servant in a circle. There was something odd about them, Gemma thought. They were all too calm.Like.

Guess The Name

Gemma was speechless. Even when Nero told her to take off her jacket so he could check on her, Gemma did so without question.The wounds on Gemma’s body caused by the Draconians are almost healed, all because of the Archturian energy coursing through her blood. But no matter how much energy there was, nothing could cure what was now covering her heart.Maya’s voice still rang clear in Gemma’s head. Bouncing and repeating in her brain.You exchanged me for moneyHow low is she? All this time, Gemma had never thought of that. Is it because she doesn’t feel very close to Maya, so it’s perfectly fine for Gemma to do it?“Gemma....” Nero’s voice, low and soft, called out to Gemma as if she were somewhere far away. As Nero’s voice grew further and further, then slowly, everything around her became blurry and dark.She is now in an empty room. Lanaya has taken her place.*“S

Night Patrol

“This is boring.”Sarah was grumbling incessantly at her teammates tonight, Jo. Jo, who had been sitting while twirling his phone on the table, looked lazily at Sarah.“Then just go and catch some Draconian,” said Jo.Sarah snorted. She watched Jo, who didn’t take his eyes off the phone. He must be waiting for a call from Nero.“Could you stop twirling your phone? It’s bothering me a lot.”“Could you stop complaining about everything? It bothers me a lot.”Sarah rolled her eyes and Jo shrugged, showing that they were both ignorant of each other’s words.While Nero gets the task of secretly guarding Gemma’s meeting, Sarah must accept her share of monitoring the suspected target based on the data made by her division.Not knowing how, she got this assignment with Jonathan, who was the son of his boss. They were conducting surveillance in the western residenti

Chaos

Jo ran towards the source of the explosion. Judging by the densely rising smoke and fiery lights, the explosion just now came from the government building in the center of the city.The vibration emanating from the Archturian’s communication device stopped him. There is a notification containing a brief message about the cause of the explosion. The rebels dared to move and show themselves. Now they are rioting in the town square and blowing up government buildings as a symbol of protest.There is a link to a video that is thought to have sparked this riot. Jo opened the video. Heros’ face was plastered on the screen. He seemed to be in a low-lit room.“My loyal followers, it is time for us to move!! No more hiding in the shadows!! We are no longer just obeying a government that hides many secrets and robs us of our freedom!! Show them who we are!!”Heros must have made this video before he was killed. Who published it? Is it one of

Here Comes The Villain

Things were extraordinarily chaotic in the center of Ayria city. Jo didn’t know how to calm the rebels anymore, because they were so panicked to see the Draconians. He could only protect the humans who were nearby, as well as finish the Draconians.The Archturian troops from Meubena have been sent to Ayria to help with this riot. They can repel the Draconians, even though the ugly creatures keep coming, but the Archturians are slowly getting the situation under control.The police and the rebels were herded behind the cover of the Archturian barricades, escaping the dead hands of the Draconians, and the whirring of bullets that shot from Alfhild, or from Einar’s jabs.The plan was to gather all the humans out here and put them in one of the nearby buildings.Archturian soldiers desperately fought their mortal enemy. Many soldiers lost their lives tonight. Even though they had worn special uniforms, the Draconians could still find an opening to

Who is She?

At first Jo is unsuspecting when an Archturian soldier leads him through the back of the building they are sheltering in. He told Jo to get into one of the patrol cars that were waiting there.“Are there riots elsewhere?” Jo asked the patrol car driver. An Archturian of the rank of Bile. No answer. That Bile continued to drive down the streets of Ayria, avoiding the chaotic city center.Jo, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the back, patted the Bile’s shoulder. “Hey, I’m asking you.”“Girga Lyon’s orders,” He answered simply. Then no more conversation.The patrol vehicle sped out of Ayria, and for a moment Jo thought he was going to be led to Archturian headquarters. But no, they just passed Meubena outer ring and continued on to the winding road that led to the mountain.Instead of being on the battlefield, they stayed away from it. As the car went uphill, Jo could see explosions and fir
