《Proditum - The betrayed ones》Chapter 1 - The Journey of Proditum, Bounty Hunter
Advertisement
After receiving the host of the entity, today I start my life in a bunker that I choose to live in, far from the big cities and the metropolises that are constantly watched by the government, your army is not made out by human beings but AI machines to combat us. I live my life happily using clandestine internet and everything clandestinely, with no government to watch.
It's midday, and I already had my lunch, I'm in my room where is dim-light, and my room is a mess, but at least it's a comfy room to stay. I and my friends are playing a random computer VR game, until someone beep boop me... Who is beep bopping me?
"Ghab? Is it you?" - I hear a female voice
"Yes, I am, who is it?"
"I am someone that wants to make a contract with you. There is a group of people that wants to destroy my life and I need you to exterminate them. Please help me, I had accumulated the sufficient to pay off, currently, I have 4 million dollars that I got accumulating, I would do anything to you help me"
Well, even they had betrayed us some recognized the price that they did by hearing the government and obeying it.
"Okay, send me the information's of peoples that I need to kill by email, and send me the money by bitcoins"
After that, she send me the e-mail and there was the target that she wants to be hit. Opening the mail a black screen flashes into it, it's not prompt but a website that is fairly decorated where I access my e-mail.
"The group of people that wants my life ruined is called valkyries, that is responsible to usurp money from the neediest. I don't know very much about their leader, I hope you could discover how to stop them when you finish I will send you the money"
Due to the time that I was living as a person with clandestine internet, I was turned off about the presence of certain types of groups, but since this is my new life as a bounty hunter I can search about them when I need. I did some searches and according to Wikipedia, aka website that they say as official, valkyries are a group of women that wants to advance to a future more feminine, where the woman is sovereign and that promise turn them, goddess, while the oppressors are reduced to non-existence. Just from what the wiki says it seems to be another unhuman group of extremist women if yet the world didn't have becomes extremist.

I made some time searching and the majority of my search was about saying that they would protect the women's sovereignty, but some said that they were protecting women from a monster's threat that... what the [email protected] is that? Those monsters eat women and leave half of their bodies to force that half to produce more from those monsters? Well, I can't find more information about that, all that it says is that they are a big threat to the women that could bring them to extinction. Well, I won't help them with that. By the way, they say that don't need us and chase us, then let this [email protected] blow-up.
Seems that there is more information that indicates that they were doing what that girl fairly had been saying to me by email. And it seems that she was involving with experiments with male gender people, something that no one had paid attention to, most of them seem not to give importance since for them they are just oppressors being used for tests. hmm... Seems that now I see some cases of bribes involved with them, and she seems to make hard research for immortality. Even deeper they seem to search for a substance that... seems to give power... Well, by what it seems I will need to be more cautious about what they are doing.
I didn't found anything about their leaders but seems that I discovered the location of some of their labs. Time to go to the mission. Going to my arsenal wardrobe I get my knife, my AWP, my P90, my Glock with a silencer, and my custom suit, now I'm mission-ready. Thanks to the entity I got some powers that will help me in this mission, the first power allows me to disguise as an illusion, and the second one teleport, all related to cosmic darkness. Moving out from my room I go to my garage where it's pretty a mess, there are some wrenches around and some boxes, but it doesn't disrupt my path. I found my car that it's not a sportive car, but one of the cars from tesla that looks like a geep.
Entering it, the interior of my car is also a mess, with some wires exposed and some places out of its place, but it doesn't disrupt me since I already got used to that mess. I lit up my car and then I go to my mission.
At the lab...

Hopefully, the devices that camouflage my car would keep them from discovering me. Time to explore the facility.
Out of my car, I see some guards watching the place, and the place seems to be a bunker, since it seems to be a structure that is not big, and it seems to lead to the underground. There were also drones around the building. Thankfully I came here when it was night.
Teleporting gives me a weird feeling. But gives me a good feeling when I teleport myself, the problem is that I can only teleport myself to dark places. While I was teleporting I found my first victim, it seems to be a guard that was watching a place that seems that the cameras seem malfunctioning. Here goes my first blood!
After I found the guard, I first awaits for the drones to get distracted. But they seems to not distract, I need to make them distracted, so I tossed a rock to a place to make noise, when the drones were distracted and that guard was also distracted, I took that as an opportunity to approach them and then sneakily kill the guard by slicing her throat. Before the drones noticed anything I teleported myself away from those drones, moving to another place to my hide.
Great, now I need to hide the body in a place that no one will find. Thanks to the teleport this got even easier, I could find a river and toss her body to the river, it makes the water red, but nothing that they would notice for what it seems.
Perfect, now I just need to make an illusion on myself and disguise myself as that guard, but first I need to read about her card that would give me information about her. Uhmm... then her name is Livia, and she has level 3 access around this facility, this will gonna be very useful.
Okay, back to the facility it seems that they didn't notice anything, for now, I need to take the opportunity to explore this area.
Inside the facility, I can see a floodlighted corridor that leads to many places, and the floor seems to be like a factory floor. The walls are made out of concrete and seem coated with some sort of strange metal alloy. I wonder how much money they had invested into this facility.
Walking a bit I found a room that seems to be called a research room. And I can see many cabinets that sores archives. The place also has stuff that seems that they were doing genetic studies. Interesting. Seems that they were doing many searches, and it seems that some of them already have special powers, I need to be careful.
Seems that they had been making experiments with those that were sent to the concentration field, in special male individuals. It seems that they were forced to eat their comrades... Seems that their lives had become a curse where they try to kill themselves by starvation but end losing their consciousness and then being transformed into hungry animals that eat humans, then that's why there are those monsters. Poor guys, they have no choice about that, their lives are already a curse. I wonder how is their mind now.
Moving out from that room I took a step to the corridor and I found another room. Strange place, there are many capsules. Let me see a bit more closely... Well, that's kinda strange, creatures that don't develop themselves and being just immobile. For what purpose are those creatures?
Exploring a bit more the room some documents in a desk with a computer. Those documents seem to show about hose creatures. I see, seems that they were doing genetic modifications to produce male individuals that don't have self-awareness and neither proper body and that they are just sperm producers. The ideologies had devoured those women's brains so much that now they had become something worse than a monster inside.
During all those years many things had changed, we can't count on the cops. Neither on the government. To be honest even before we couldn't count on the government, by the way, you would exchange your freedom for security. Never had existed security during all the history, even more during those days, you can only count on yourself, cus everything will betray you.
Anyways. Time to search for more information, exploring even further is the facility it seems that there are places where they imprison some of those that had become guinea pigs and then become cannibals. And this is the max of places that I can explore, for now, there isn't much place to explore for now

An ancient seal has been broken and a forgotten power returns to the world gradually, upsetting the balance of normality. People used to say "I'll do that when hell freezes over" jokingly, but now that saying holds more weight in a changing world where people have to get used to the unusual. Ancient creatures hidden in the earth stir from their slumber of centuries, and humanity is not prepared for their ancient powers. Can the human race of steel and fire stand against the creatures created by the most ancient of powers? Is the human race pure enough to band together and form a closed fist as they did centuries ago? Find out in this adventure where Jacob starts off on his way on a normal day towards his job. "I get the feeling this story might be one of those 'diamonds in the rough'. The premise is quite solid, there's plenty of room to flesh out the characters. It's quite easy to get into and be engaged by at the moment, imo. I don't know where the story will go from here, but it's off to a good start me thinks." - Xenower Attribution: The cave picture in the book cover is made by Stanislav Sedov and is licensed under CC-BY-SA-2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ This picture was modified from the original with an overlaid moon and sea picture to be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ssedov/26342569905 The photographer has no affiliation to Tschallacka nor can be held accountable for the use of this picture the way as it is here.
