Brigante Ark Chapter 40

Glen’s phone begins to vibrate. He answered it and nods. He looked back at Cain and gave a serious look.
“I understand, I’ll have him know it.” He put it back on his coat and stood still for a moment. His back feels better now. “Just for you to know, the lone survivor subject has escaped from the Hoarder’s men.”
“What?” He said in surprise. “That bastard cannot be trusted after all.”
“Theo has no choice now but to kill.”
“I understand where his vigilance coming from,” Cain said. “But is this the only way? Is there any other way to avoid bloodshed?”
“He’s being prudent.”
“Prudent?!” Cain shouted. “How is killing a mass crowd of the city is being prudent?!”
Hearing those words, Gary is surprised.
“Because we will make a distraction and have the Glade mercenaries take the blame.”
Cain hisses and walks towards the exit.
“I’ll have no part of it.” Cain flatly said, “I’ll prepare to extract my father.”
“Perhaps that’s best for you.”
“When will he performed the plan?” Cain asked.
“I don’t know.”
Cain left saying no words after that. The gloomy appearance had engulfed him as he walks out. Gary look ahead beyond the countless glass tubes and panels and saw the exit that leads to the Testing Area. He crawled to the stairs and crouch. Whenever he saw Glen looking behind him, he moves forward and hides to the machines before probing for another one.
Until he finally noticed that there’s a sharp look creeping behind him and when he looks back, the old scientist cannot be found. Gary didn’t mind where he has gone and proceeded to the automatic slid door.
Glen walks the hallway and has his phone to his ears, talking to someone.

“I found him. Don’t worry, he’s still on track.” Glen said. “Yes, please. I would like you to have killed that sniveling runt. He knows too much now.”
Glen nods, “Good thing that you have caught those worms. I wonder how did they managed to get here.”
He chuckled hearing the reasons why, “Damn that Port, now those bastards not only heard our plans, they also know how our operations work. Well, I’m glad that Port has taken responsibility for the decision he made.”
Walking straight to the hallway, the lights flickered and the bulb stuttered before coming back to life. The old man’s gone and the bleeping coming from the screen on the elevator that flashing letters back and forth is the only life exist until the place finally gone dark.

Having Gary as a bait to distract their attention, Ina and Lance proceeded with casual remark across the hallway to the server room across the testing site and to adjacent staircase with vigilance not too get too much attention. Once they passed on the countless rooms, they stopped knowing that it requires a key card. Ina pulled something out on her pocket and presented on Lance.
Lance’s forehead furrowed.
“When did you get this?” Lance asked.
“Yesterday.” Ina said. “I seduced one of the guards.”
“You? Seduced?” Lance replied.
Ina sternly stare at him.
“No offence. I just kinda didn’t expect you could, you know.” Lance nervously said.
Still, Ina didn’t alter her strict gazed at him.
When Lance slid the keycard to the reader, it opens. The room is currently open as the staffs are busy finding a way to open the door. They needed all the brains they’ve got to alter the old systems.
“We only have few minutes before they come back. Little time for a trouble work. We have to hurry.” Ina said as she hustled grabbing a chair to the mainframe in the middle of the room.

Lance pulled out a cord and connected it to his mobile device and to the mainframe plug-in. Ina start to decode and transfer the files to Lance device. Ina looked back at Lance who is attempting to reach Gary, but it seems that signal was not on their favor. Lance rose from sitting and waited gazes covertly outside. When the loading is finished Ina pulled it out and walk steadily. Their footsteps silently walk firmly. They saw two shadows turning to their way.
Lance instinctively pulled Ina and squeeze through to the small-tight space of the hallway. Their legs cross to one another. Lance glance away from Ina as he could smell the fragrant from her alike the smell of a white flower. Ina, too, is in awkward position, her slender legs were lock in between Lance’s legs. They avoided each other gazes and both could feel their body temperature rose as if they’re in the state of convulsion along their hard breathing.
When Ina finally noticed that they’re gone, she told Lance, “I think they’re gone.” Ina said. “We should hurry and notify Gary where he should go.”
Lance nods, “You guide him out and I will review the information we got.”
The two struggles to move out. They took a deep breathe before parting ways. Ina goes to the weapon stockroom and hide in there. Since Gary is in the old underground facility, she needed to stay in here to maintain the signal that connects him to Gary.
After reviewing the map, she had gained, she learned that three route that led outside from the underground facility to the old abandoned station post to the surface. B1 area is near to the Gary. B1 area is in between the testing area and the Main laboratory. The other two is a dangerous part to take because it is where more populated by the monsters and knowingly Gary, he won’t make it alone.
Ina glances down to check out the vibrating phone. As she opens it, she heard gunshots volleying and the hushing wind overlapping the phone.
“Lance?” Ina asked.
Answered, “We’ve been made. You need to get out of there!” He yelled.
“What about Gary?” She asked.
“We can worry about him later.” Lance said. “For now, we must survive.”
The communication finally cut off. Ina quickly drew out her gun hidden on her waist and slowly walk outside the room with an unparalleled attention driving to her route. She heard the low sound pitch of alarm coming from the siren hang on the wall.

Death Cultivator (Cultivator in Another World Vol. I & II)
Fight for your Soul. New cultivator Grady Hake thought his problems would disappear when he became a member of the strongest gang on the prison planet, but all it did was thrust him into the kill-or-be-killed world of the Eight-Legged Dragons. Now if he wants to survive, he’ll have to learn to cloak his deadly Spirit attacks in shadow, control the ancient revenant trying to take over his mind, and defeat the Angel of Death who dropped him on Van Diemann in the first place. Death Cultivator is sci-fi / isekai / wuxia / western / whatever, sort of like Borderlands meets Hunter x Hunter. I wanted to write something entertaining and actiony with that shonen vibe, so here's hoping this hits the spot. Warning: This isn't an isekai where the MC immediately becomes OP and starts revenge-killing everyone once he gets Death powers. Death is coming, but it's a slow burn. Like some of the reviewers for Volume I mentioned, the MC has a past and it effects his actions and choices in the new world.

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.

Path of Blood.
In my world, there are only idiots who know nothing of the true workings of the world. They only see what is shown to them, only accepting and not questioning anything. They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D
