The group cautiously moved through the dimly lit corridors of the university, each step accompanied by the ominous sounds of their steps in the building. Luckily, it wasn't as loud as it is, or else they might have invited trouble. Suddenly, the atmosphere was shattered as a horde of mindless creatures on the second floor lost their footing and tumbled down the stairs, crashing right in front of the group. Hannah and Liam couldn't help but gasp, and their jaws dropped.Reacting swiftly, Brandon summoned his metal and wind abilities. Metal blades swirled around him, slicing through the air, while gusts of wind sent the fallen creatures stumbling backward. Marcky, not one to be left behind, unleashed bolts of purple lightning, each strike finding its mark with deadly precision.Liam, being with military personnel, developed his alertness much better than before. He could finally move, almost as soon as he got over the shock.Meanwhile, Hannah, on the other hand, realized the limitations

Liam's eyes widened as he realized what he just said. He panicked and looked at his brother, unable to form a word."Babe, calm down. Breath in, breathe out."Jarvis stared at Liam and Brandon. He watched as the man tried to make his brother calm. It was impossible for them to calm Liam since he could calm down after he finally got out of the shock or embarrassment, but this man beside his brother could make him calm."Your lover is here, and I am here, but you have no intention of introducing me or him to each other?" Jarvis started, giving his brother a playful smile.Of course, he doesn't want his brother to get hurt. He knows, no, they knew his orientation, and it has nothing to do with them; it wasn't their business. No matter what, he is family. If someone tried to bully him just because he likes me, then he'd be ready to punch those people in the face."Oh! Right!" A realization dawned on him. He hadn't properly introduced his companions and lover to his younger brother.He cas

As Liam and the group exited the university gate after who knows how many battles, they encountered a cluster of seven survivors. Six were students, and one, unmistakably a professor, stood among them. They were about to ignore them, but they did not let them pass through. Jarvis's presence immediately caught the attention of the student leader, who wasted no time mocking and belittling him for past grievances.Liam's expression tightened and his jaw clenched, but he refrained from responding. He wanted to punch this man for mocking his brother, but he refrained himself. After all, he doesn't want to make a noise; he doesn't want to trouble people with him. He had troubled them enough when he wanted to find his brother. Right now, he is with him; he doesn't want to cause trouble again.However, matters took an unsettling turn when one of the female students in the group seemed to take a liking to Brandon. This made Liam's heart grow numb and cold. Her advances were not only unwarrante

The second floor of the abandoned store that they built as a shelter from the unsettling black rain that fell outside. Even though they kind of relaxed, they couldn't still shrug off the unsettling feeling they felt. Thus, they were half relaxed and half alert. There's no problem with being cautious while relaxing for a little. The trio, Brandon, Hannah, and Marcky, were still crowded together around the table and continued their conversation about the government's failed experiment. The dimly lit room provided a stark contrast to the ominous darkness beyond the windows.The dark black-ink rain outside makes their conversation even more creepy and eerie.As Jarvis heard the conversation, he joined the group, and the creaking of the floor as they moved around echoed in the quiet room. Having Jarvis with them makes the thing even more heavy, as does their conversation. The way they whispered as they talked makes them look like a group of people planning to kill someone. With this though

Brandon, with a loving smile, took care to ensure Liam was comfortable. Well, it was his duty as Liam's loving partner, and no matter what, he'll take care of him. He gently pulled the blanket up to cover Liam, tucking him in with a soft touch. The air was filled with a sense of intimacy and vulnerability as Brandon admired the man he cared so deeply for.Satisfied that Liam was settled, Brandon got up from the bed and fetched a damp towel. Returning to Liam's side, he carefully wiped away any residual traces of their shared experience, ensuring Liam felt clean and cared for. The act was one of tenderness, a silent expression of the deeper connection between them.As Brandon finished, he gazed at Liam with affection, admiring the peaceful sleep that now enveloped him. The room was a sanctuary, and in the quiet moments that followed, Brandon took a deep breath, cherishing the intimacy they had shared and the comforting presence of the one he loved.When the morning arrived, the relentle
