"Bang!"
..
..
Max's ears perked as the sound of gunshots entered his ears.
'They are finally here.'
'Damn it'
I haven't even found the jamming formation yet.
Besides what was more important was that Axle hadn't returned till that time. He needed to find him.
"Girls you stay here for a while. I will see what's happening out there."Max spoke to the girls and they returned a nod to him.
As he prepared to activate his Stealth, the sound of rapid footsteps along with the gunshots entered his ears.
"Tap!"
"Tap!"
..
..
Finally, Max could see the person enter the room.
It was Axle.
Covered in bruises and cuts. His clothes seemed to be dyed in a blood red.
"Slam!"
Entering the room, he hurriedly slammed the door shut and finally fell on his butts.
"You all right?" Max asked him although it was very apparent.
"Do I look like I am?", He replied in pain.
"We need to take those guys out or we won't be able to destroy the formation."Max spoke while gesturing to him to move.
"You don't need to do that. I already found out a way to contact that man before destroying the I.T. room.", Axle spoke with a smile.
"When will he be here?" Max couldn't help but got excited.
"Well, I couldn't get through him. He didn't pick up the phone." Axle spoke, dumping a bucket of cold water on Max's head.
F*ck!
We are dead!
"You don't need to worry. I have left a SOS for him through a message. Beside look what I found." Axle spoke before taking out a piece of paper from his trouser.
Max took the picture in his hand before breaking out in a smile.
That was a life saver.

It was the layout of the whole area.
And what could save their life was right below them.
Max looked at Axle and found out the same smile on his face. He was thinking the same.
The Sewers.
Below this building, at least a 5 meter deep was a sewer connecting to the drainage system in Arcane.
"Where did he go?"
"Spread out search for him. If we don't find him, then we will all be dead"
The voice entered Max's ears.
They were close.
…
…
"Break the floor." Max asked Axle.
"You break it, I am almost out of Mana." Axle asked him while giving him a look as if 'look at my condition.'
Damn it
'How do I say that I don't even have any ounce of Mana in my body.'
"Why is she still tied up?" Suddenly Max heard Axle's voice.
"Huh..."
He saw him pointing his finger towards Lisa.
"She doesn't need help." As Max spoke he could still see her gritting her teeths.
Talk about stubbornness.
Suddenly Axle got up, moved toward Lisa.
"What are you doing?" As he approached Max, he whispered.
"It is partly my fault. Even if I don't like her. I will set her free. Or one day, I won't be able to face my brother." Axle spoke before passing Max.
..
"Clang!"
The chains broke after a strong hit from the rifle.
"What's your name? Tell me. I will make sure you properly get rewarded." Lisa spoke while starting at Max..
"I don't need your reward, I will already consider it a reward if I don't get to see your face everyday."
Lisa's eyes widened. That expression on her face couldn't be described in words. But Max was sure that she wouldn't forget that day anytime soon.

"Pfft!"
Hearing Axle, Max couldn't help but control himself.
Now act arrogant.
Max secretly gave Axle a thumbs up seeing him walking back towards him.
However the voices were still calling out.
"Did you check the storage room?"
"No, I didn't"
"Bastard..then what you are waiting for"
….
...
...
Max's face turned dark.
They were coming.
"Hmph...I won't let myself owe you guys. Let me show you my power. If I heard it correctly, you were talking about breaking through the floor right."Lisa finally spoke with an arrogance plastered on her face.
'Yes'
'She could help us.'
..
"Bang!"
"The door is locked. He's definitely in there. Everyone break it."
That time everybody could hear them. They were before the door.
The girls shivered at the situation. They looked terrified
"Axle!", Max screamed.
At his shout, Axle threw the rifle straight into the air towards him.
Max jumped in the air to catch the rifle and he reloaded it as he landed. He could see some dim and half faded runes on the gun.
"Axle move the girls to one of the corners of the room. Lisa, destroy the floor in the center of the room for us to escape. I will hold them down."
As Max ended his words, everyone had already sprung into actions.
He pointed the gun towards the entrance which had several dents on it after being continuously pounded.
The door was made of steel and that wouldn't break so heavily.
'Let me give you a warning.'Max shouted
He thought of shooting a bullet at the door. After all if they knew there was someone waiting on the other side with a gun in his hand, it would make them hesitate.
Even if it was for a second, that would still buy them time.
"Bang!"
As Max pulled the trigger,he couldn't help but curse.
'F*ck'
'Is this a shotgun?'
The bullet made a hole in the door.
« Host has defeated an enemy, gained 200 FP »
A notification appeared in front of him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
..
..
Max started shooting unrestrainedly and the system's sweet Melody continued to ring in his ears.
« Host has defeated an enemy, gained 200 FP »
« Host has defeated an enemy, gained 200 FP »
« Host has defeated an enemy, gained 200 FP »
..
..
"Ahhh.."
"Ahhh…"
Screams filled out the hallway along with the smell of blood and dozens of bodies.
….
"Are you done or not? I am almost out of Ammo." Max spoke while finding himself in sweat.
'How many guys were there? Did the entire troops were deployed to catch us.' Max asked as he was scared.
"Click! Click!.."
'Shit!'
'I am out of Ammo .'
"Clang!" The door fell on the ground.
"I am done," Lisa's voice entered his ears as the ground shook with a rumbling noise.
"Boom!"

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
