Chapter 88 Theo kept one hand on the wheel, the other resting near the window as he casually drove through the quiet streets of the provincial town. He wasn’t really headed anywhere specific. He just needed to clear his mind after the meeting with Beatrice and Marlon. The sun was

Chapter 87 Marlon let out a soft sigh. “I’ll do my best to cover for him… for now. But I can’t guarantee he’ll be safe from consequences. He’s already breaking multiple protocols, and that’s not something we can ignore for long. If the higher-ups catch wind of his actions, and

Chapter 86 Beatrice stood as they approached, offering a small smile. “Hey, you made it p> She turned to gesture at the man sitting beside her. “This is Supreme Commander Marlon Pitt, head of Scientific Advancement and Power Development at AMSO. He’s my superior and he asked to meet you

Chapter 85 Theo quickly opened his system inventory and scrolled through the items he had gathered. With a flick of his fingers, several pieces of gear materialized in front of him, a Tactical Reinforced Jacket, Legguard Tactical Pants, Dustrunner Shoes, and a Meteor-Resist Vest. “Here,” he said, handing them to

Chapter 84 It was another day, and Theo stuck to his usual morning routine of exercises. But unlike other days, there was a lingering restlessness in him, ever since Brix told him that Beatrice had mentioned his name to AMSO. He knew it wasn’t her fault. Beatrice had no idea

Chapter 83 Theo was nearing the cafe where he had last dropped off Aries and the kids when his phone finally rang. It was Aries. He answered right away. “Where are you p> “Oh, sorry, Theo. I missed your calls,” she said. “We’re at the cinema right now. My phone

Chapter 82 The way the man stood, unnaturally still. Too still. And his scent, faint but wrong. Not quite alive. Not quite dead. Theo’s system pinged in the back of his mind, confirming what his instincts already whispered. [Target Identified: Meteorborn Husk] Theo narrowed his eyes. “You’re not trapped,” he

Chapter 81 Beatrice turned around, expecting to find Theo nearby. She wanted to thank him properly, not just for the ride, but for showing up the way he did. The man who used to blend into the background quietly had come back into her life like a steady force. But

Chapter 80 Aries just knew Beatrice would be surprised. Maybe even flustered. And if Aries was right, and she usually was, things might just turn around this time. She had a strong feeling Beatrice would be the one chasing her brother for once. The kids found a nearby table and

Chapter 79 Theo followed Andres into the control room, where Calix was already stationed, eyes focused on the CCTV footage playing across the monitors. “Someone’s observing the perimeter,” Calix said, frowning. “He’s definitely using some kind of power, but I can’t get a clear view of his face. He’s disrupting

Chapter 78 Kael shook his head. “No, he said the system’s been acting weird lately. Some of the cameras are offline, especially around the eastern side. He’s still checking on it p> Theo’s eyes narrowed slightly. “The eastern side, huh p> Kael glanced at him. “You think it’s something p>

Chapter 77 It was a relief that no one would know Theo had been there. He’d already noticed the CCTV cameras were destroyed when he entered the warehouse, which was probably why he’d felt so confident acting freely. But something else had been bothering him. ’Dark system online?’ Theo repeated

Chapter 76 The sky was gray. Not stormy, not sunny… just heavy and dull, like it knew something awful was happening behind the gym. Theo was on the ground, curled up with his arms over his head. Dirt and dried leaves clung to his uniform. His knees were scraped. His

Chapter 75 Theo clicked his tongue. “Let’s not p> Before the pulse could fire, Theo pressed both palms to its chest and unleashed a focused Cryo Spike Field, ice erupting from within the creature, freezing part of the exposed core area mid-charge. The lightning faltered. Arcs began sputtering. Theo twisted

Chapter 74 Theo narrowed his eyes. “Not yet,” he muttered. “But soon p> He didn’t interfere. Instead, he slowly walked forward, boots crunching on ice and ash, shadowed by flickering firelight and swirling wind. His body radiated barely restrained energy, flame, frost, toxin, wind, and shadow all pulsing beneath his

Chapter 73 Theo narrowed his eyes at the four UMS and continued, “Or wait until you mutate? Killing humans gives me nothing. Like that guard outside. Maybe I should wait for you He pointed lazily at each of the four, “You, you, and you… to turn into Meteorborn first p>

Chapter 72 The warehouse air was thick with gunpowder, blood, and panic. Theo stepped deeper into the shadows just as a figure stumbled from behind a stack of crates. It was a man dressed in a torn security guard uniform, blood soaking through his shirt. His face was pale, eyes

Chapter 71 The sky was still dark, and the air smelled like burned plastic as Theo rode his motorcycle back home. He sped past an empty highway and his eyes scanned the surroundings out of habit, but there was nothing unusual, until the system suddenly pinged. [Ding! Unregistered Hostile Activity

Chapter 70 Theo let out a soft chuckle. “Yeah. I guess I didn’t think that far ahead p> Leon gave a faint smile, the first one Theo had seen on him. Dion, still clutching his stuffed animal, looked up and whispered, “Are you really leaving p> Theo’s expression softened. “Only

Chapter 69 Theo moved closer, boots silent against the tiles. There, beneath the edge of the vending machine, a seam. Vertical, faint. A doorframe. His gaze sharpened. Someone had tried to cover it, on purpose. Theo crouched and brushed his hand along the edge, then pushed lightly. No give. He
