《Breakout: The Evolution of a High School Nerd》Ch. 5.5- The Bonding
Advertisement
Author's Note: This isn't long enough for a Chapter, so I'm making it a half Chapter. STILL IMPORTANT!
This is what took place while the MC was going through his hellhole.
Anyways, enjoy guys!
In the depths of the Azranian Forest, a creature was moving across the foliage covering the ground; with no real place to go in mind, the creature simply went where it felt it should.
After continuing it’s path for another hour or so, the creature entered a small little alcove; in this alcove were 2 things the beast would never have expected to see.
One was a high level Sadistic Wolf, with wounds covering it’s body.
The second, which was even more surprising, was a human male. At least, it appeared to be human. The thing in question was completely covered in blood, with a bone held in it’s hand.
The creature was able to surmise that the human(?) was what killed the wolf, and thats what surprised the beast. To its knowledge, it would take around 10 humans to be able to kill a single Sadistic Wolf; with most of the humans dying in the process.
The creature slowly made it’s way to the human(?), to check his condition. The human(?) was covered in wounds all over, and almost on the brink of death. The beast, sensing this human(?) was dangerous, was about to go for the kill.
The second this beast was about to bite down on the neck of this human(?) it was bit by other creature. This beast turned its head and noticed a black and white snake with wings; a Caduceus. The beast slowly fell to the ground, taking it’s last few breaths of air in this world. The beast once again looked at the Caduceus, slowly pulling the human(?) being with it.

The snake slowly made its way to the cave it lived in, with the human in tow. Why would the snake save the human? The reason was the snake was able to sense the humans feelings; and surprisingly, the snake was able to come to an understanding with this human.
Hate...
Regret…
Sorrow…
Betrayal...
The snake was able to sense so many different emotions from the human, and felt like they truly had a decent amount in common. Without Soul even knowing what was happening, the snake already felt a connection with him. With all of these thoughts flowing through it’s mind, the snake took its head and pressed it against his hand…
The Uncommon Creature known as Arcadia, the Mutated Caduceus has chosen you as the appropriate Master to bond with. She has formed a Bond with you; you can now use her powers as you will.

The snake then wrapped its body in a circular formation; gently resting on the humans stomach...
Author's Note: Before you ask, the reason Soul isn't getting these Windows while he's unconscious is because, well, he isn't conscious. He's cut off from the outside world, so...

HEfTY
What if everyone in the world gave you $1? That’s what Hefty, a fat and cocky 14-year-old computer hacker tries to do. He bets on Bitcoin, and becomes a millionaire. Nevertheless, it’s short lived because Hefty is under the beck and call of his BPD mom. Hefty’s mom has leukemia. After seeing his mom’s hospital bill, he goes full tilt on the internet, selling crazy things on the Dark Web, like drones, drugs, and guns. And under his nose, someone’s been watching Hefty. Before he knows it, he’s abducted by ISIS and transported to Syria. ISIS’s chief tech officer was blown apart in an airstrike. All of ISIS’s money freshly minted into Cryptocurrencies. The passcodes in his mind blew up with the airstrike. The King of ISIS, forces Hefty to find the passcodes. At gunpoint, Hefty can’t say no, but tricks the King. The King makes a deal with him: If Hefty gets the money off the server, he gets to keep his life (and 10%). Hefty agrees and sees the amount from his 10%: $1.1 Billion in BTC. Drunk with money, Hefty joins the King and naively agrees to help ISIS, and starts buying everything he’s always wanted. He still misses home though, and after a google search brings up his mom, he throws bread crumbs through the internet. He creates digital trails throughout the back end of sites he hacks so people can find him. Even though his lifestyle is fun and exciting, ISIS starts to look less inspiring. Hefty sees the cruelty of ISIS’s cause and it disillusions him from thinking the Caliphate is noble. After some ISIS friends start dying, Hefty sees that war is dumb. Hefty tells his dying friend, on his last breaths, that he is going to take down ISIS. Mistake. With his last yells, his friend tattles on Hefty. Overnight, he goes from Multimillionaire to POW. The King gives him 2 options: blow up his favorite team on a game day of the Cleveland Browns, or his mother dies. Hefty chooses his mother. Within weeks, Hefty covertly writes software to defeat ISIS, leaving enough breadcrumbs to attract the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Tarvish. Acting quickly, General Tarvish works to find Hefty and uncover the Brown’s Stadium plot. Hefty finds a way to bomb the stadium, using an order that the president enacted putting all combat planes: no matter where over the US, had to be fully loaded and ready for war. Tarvish didn’t plan this into his counter measure. Hefty has set up ambushes against the Caliphate of ISIS… but the joke turns on him when he forgets to delete his code, and his terror attack on Brown’s Stadium goes off. Hefty’s location goes live, and an air campaign against the Caliphate starts. The US President angrily tries to drop a nuclear bomb on Hefty and the Caliphate. Tarvish kills the President before he can order the attack. The King flees by truck into the desert, but brings his cyber weapon: Hefty. Fed up, unafraid, and frankly pissed off, Hefty grows some balls and kills everyone in the car, giving the King his just reward, and careening down a mountain in the process.

Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
