Sebastian “Buis, if I get caught, do you realise that I will not be able to complete the mission? Shouldn't you help?” I asked in panic as my grip tightened on the wheel. I was getting closer to the front and there was no way I could run without getting caught.“If you don't complete the mission, you will be terminated.” Buis replied calmly and I almost cried out in frustration as I ran my hand through my hair.“Isn't that why you should at least help me?” I questioned, my heart pounding in my chest, and as usual, I got no answer. I was very convinced at this point that the system was here to kill me instead.It was finally my turn and I let out a shaky breath as I drove to the front. If worst came to worst, I would hit the fucking gas and zoom away before any of them could stop me.The military official in front of me didn't look like he was here to play as he checked the plate number and then walked around my car. I was literally shaking when he leaned down, his eyes meeting mine.

Sebastian Curiosity has consequences.Those words played in my head as I laid on the ground at the back of the plant, my gaze fixed on the cloudy sky above me.The screen was there, watching me and I couldn't help but sigh.“So no questions at all?” I asked, placing my hand over my face and the screen returned to normal.“Questions regarding missions are accepted. All you need to know is that I'm here to help you survive the apocalypse.” Buis replied and I let out another sigh of relief.Whoever left that note probably knew about the system. Maybe even about the apocalypse. Was it the stranger who had been helping me or someone else entirely?“Got it. No more unnecessary questions. Will I get my stat levels back?” I asked with a flicker of hope in me as I managed to drag myself off the ground.I was tired. Extremely tired, and all I wanted to do was fall into my bed and pass the hell out.“Negative.”I couldn't help but tsk, unable to argue anymore as I made my way into the building,

Sebastian “It's been two hours. Are these people even going to let me out for questioning?” I huffed in annoyance as I sat on the ground, my hand on one knee. “Buis, there was no working smarter or harder in this mission, right? This was the only way to do this. Isn't that right?”I needed validation of some sort that I wasn't stupid or crazy.“That is right.” The system finally replied after hours of staying silent and I couldn't help but snort in disbelief as I leaned against the wall.“Well, that's a relief. You should help me get out.” I muttered, looking around at the dark building, and the screen brightened, lighting the place up slightly.“I should. But…”“But? There's a but? I don't want to be terminated!” I complained when a loud ding from the system suddenly had me wincing.“Your mission has been updated. Complete this mission and Mission 003 will be postponed.” Buis replied and my brows raised in surprise as I stared at the screen.On the screen was a new mission: Mission

Sebastian I didn't even know what to think or ask as I stared at my own picture staring back at me.What source? Was this related to the dream I had previously?“What does this mean?” I asked the system as I pointed at the page. “What is the source—”A loud explosion followed by rumbling made me flinch as I literally felt the building shake. I got up immediately, dropping the file on the stairs as I rushed to the second floor to see what was happening.Flames reached up to the cloudy sky as a bright orange glow erupted from a few kilometres from the plant. Whatever that building was, it was on fire.“Emergency mission.” Buis suddenly said and I glanced at the screen. “This is your chance to test out your skills and how much you have leveled up.” It added and I couldn't help but rub my hands in anticipation.“I'm guessing this has to do with that burning building?” I asked as I rushed back downstairs and the screen changed.“Affirmative.” It replied and I let out an excited sigh as I

Sebastian“Seb.”There was a figure lying beside me, and the moment I heard him call out my name with an affection that I was used to, I instinctively turned to him, wrapping my arms around him as if I belonged here. With him.“Have you been watching me sleep again?” I found myself muttering like this was nothing new even though my face was buried in his chest. “How can I not? You're a sight to behold when you sleep.” His familiar voice replied, his fingers brushing through my hair. When I stirred, wanting to pull away, he held me tighter, like he couldn't bear to let me go.“I don't want to let you go. Not again.”“But I have to go. This… this isn't real and you know that.”I felt myself fading away from his grip, and I tried to take hold of his hand, but it was like he was far away from me.“I will find you again. And I won't let you go again. I promise.”I gasped awake, choking on air as I coughed violently, making me sit up even as my eyes watered. The sound of machines beeping m
