Elite Dangerous Mission Failed Immediately Novels & Stories

The scent of cedar and storm and him overwhelmed her, dragging up memories she had no right to keep. “Then why,” she whispered, “can’t you stop touching me?” Kael pulled away like she burned him. Rage exploded across his face, ugly and raw. He looked like he wanted to hit something. Like he wanted to hit _her_. Before he could speak— A knock echoed violently at the door. “Alpha!” Beta Damon’s voice was tight with urgency. Kael opened the door sharply, his movements jerky with barely leashed violence. “What?” Damon didn’t step inside. He kept his eyes on the floor, his posture rigid. “We found another body near the western border.”

As one of the country's top high school teachers, I have helped countless students get into the best colleges. But I somehow find myself reborn as a poor kid from the countryside while attending a ceremony honoring my achievements. A mysterious voice echoes in my mind. "If you fail to get into college, you'll die!" How hard can that be? It's just getting into college. That's hardly a challenge for a genius like me. But soon I realize that getting into college isn't really about how smart you are. In the end, it all comes down to people and their motives.

Final. A debt, paid. The violet mark on him flared once, locked the southern valves for good, and then he was gone — slipping into the deep rivers beneath the mountain with the corrupt key in his hands. “The southern server is dead,” Elara said, opening her eyes. They were blazing, gold and white and black all at once. “Your copy is gone, Jasmine.” Jasmine staggered back. The arc-rifle in her hands shook. The transmitter at her waist started melting, violet plastic dripping like wax.

Every evil act was repaid in the end, and now that karma had come for the Yarrows, most of the anger that had plagued me finally faded. I blocked Anthony across all available platforms before the day was out, leaving him with no way to contact me. Nonetheless, he refused to give up just yet. He waited for me outside my company building, and when he caught me leaving, he begged me with red-rimmed eyes, "Mandy, I know that I was wrong. Can we just start over? I used to love you so much! I even stayed by your side and watched over you for eight years! Have you forgotten all that?"

The system said and I raised my brows as I leaned in to read the message on the screen. “001.5? Out of nowhere?” I asked as I took in the words in front of me. “Mission 001.5. Rescue the two missing boys from The Core. Surviving is mandatory. Failure will not be accepted. Time left: 24:00:00. Mission is involuntary.” The missing boys on the news earlier?

Elara’s death was a wound we all carried, but his grief felt like an accusation. Eldress Mara rose, her voice cutting through the hall. “The mission to retrieve the Luna’s son failed. Elara is dead, our Alpha is wounded, and Kaelen walks free. We demand answers.” The pack stirred, with whispers rising among the crowd. I clenched my fists, nails biting into my palms. They deserved the truth, but how could I explain without damning myself further?

I backed away from the glass "What test?" But the lights above dimmed. Melissa pounded her fists on the glass, lips forming words but i couldn't hear her. Gas hissed from above. "No—NO!" I slammed on the barrier trying to break it. Chase's voice in my earpiece "Jamal—exfil! They just executed Project Elysium!" My blood congealed. Elysium wasn't a cure. It wasn't a simulation, it was a reset. A full memory wipe. Melissa gazed into my eyes one last time as she dropped to the floor.

Below us, the dark water of the East River churned. A helicopter hummed overhead, its spotlight pinning us to the asphalt. My phone buzzed. A new message. One minute to the second purge, Liam. Choose the company or the girl. I looked at the tablet. A new countdown had started. Medusa Core: Global Upload Initiated. 00:59. "Felix, the bypass!" I shouted. "There is no bypass, Liam," Felix said. He turned around, and I saw the silver emitter in his hand. "Eleanor wants her property back."

Although Cam was excited to tell her friend everything, she left out a whole lot of detail for someone whom Mia thought gave a lot of detail. She could not tell Mia the most exciting parts of her night and it hurt her. She could not tell her that she had found her mate, and that he was a Beta. She could not tell Mia about her real past and about how she used to be an Omega as a child, until the day she fully turned and was then recognised as the Beta of their pack. The destined Beta that the moon goddess had aligned her destiny with her Alpha. She was her guardian. And Mia did not even know any of that.

On a luxurious cruise ship, Lucas Lindt kissed his new bride, Hannah Snow, looking so in love. Cheers and blessings filled the air, but in my mind, a discordant voice from the System rang out. System: [Host mission failed. In half a month, you will be forcibly erased.] I watched Lucas, completely lost in the kiss, and a bitter smile tugged at my lips. In my original world, I had been terminally ill. After being transmigrated into this one, the System identified four targets for me to pursue. As long as one of them reached one-hundred percent affection for me, I would regain my health.
