《Alpha Human》Moscow

I woke up to a splash of water on my face. I panicked thinking the plane went under as I was sleeping, but soon came to find it was just someone splashing a bucket of water on my face. Harmattan laughed at me, "You should've seen the look on your face" he said.
My fingers ignited, and I stared him down angrily. "I'm going to kill you" I said to him.
"Yeah?" he asked, "Let me know when you get the chance"
I had wondered why he hadn't mind controlled me yet, but now I realize it was just so he could torture me. "Have a snickers" he said throwing me a candy bar. "You get angry when you're hungry."
"What do you want" I asked him,
"We've arrived" he answered. "Well, ten minutes away to be exact."
"Now what, you throw me off the plane, after controlling me to detonate?" I asked.
"Precisely" he answered. "You wanna know what the best part is, I never have to see you again, either"
"What do you mean? There wouldn't be any damage done to me with my cellular regeneration"
"On the contrary, your body would be ripped apart too fast to heal itself. So no, you won't survive this," he said with a smile. "It's okay, I'm sure that father Samuel and uncle Jacob are having a farewell party right now"
"What do you want?" I asked him. "After all this is done, after you own the world. What are you going to do?"
"That is for me to know, and you to never find out" he said laughing, "Get it, because you'll be dead"
"What did they do to you" A voice said from behind him.
He turned sharply, and paused as if he had seen a ghost."Matt" he said softly.

"Matthew?" I said happily.
"How did you-"
"Molecular Distortion." he said.
"I forgot that you were the wierd one" Harmattan said.
"Why are you doing this, let the kid go" Matt said back to him.
"You may be a few minutes older than me, but that doesn't mean you can boss me around." He said back to him. "Now, you are my brother, so I won't throw you out of the plane, but I will have to ask you to leave."
"If you're doing this because of mom and dad-"
"We both know why I am doing this" he said stopping him. "Or did you forget Wes so easily?"
"Who's Wes?" I asked.
"Yeah, Matt, who's Wes?" Harmattan asked Matthew rhetorically, "Where's Wes"
"It doesn't matter" Matt answered.
"It never does" Harmattan said. He looked at the invisible watch on his wrist. "My my, look at the time."
"You do this, and I can't help you anymore." Matt warned.
"I've already died inside. Nothing will redeem me" Harmattan said.
He then took my shoulder and spoke, "Steuer Geist" my eyes shut, and my mind became hollow.
Immediately my body became stiff, and once again I did not feel in control. "Samuel, i'm gonna need you to jump out of the plane, and go nuclear" he said to me.
I nodded, and walked to the door of the plane. "You left me no choice" Matt said. I opened the door of the plane, but then felt a large metallic object go through my stomach. I couldn't move, and could barely breathe. Suddenly i couldn't feel my body, and I dazed off into a painful sleep.
I woke up to an enormous pain going through my body. I tried to get up. But I still couldn't move, and I could barely breathe. I tried to open my eyes quickly, but the lights were so bright that it pained me. So the next time I tried I went slowly. The room was completely white on all four sides, leaving me hopeless to know where I was. That was until a man in a white lab coat walked in, carrying a wooden clip board. "You're awake" he said.

"Don't move around too much, you might damage your body around the titanium" he said to me.
I looked down, observing the giant metal object lodged into my stomach.
"What the-"
"Don't worry, you're body is spontaneously healing to it, so you'll be fine." he said.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked him.
"I am your physician, you've been through a very painful incident, and my job is to make sure you are okay" he answered.
"If you're here to help me why is there a metal rod going through my body?" I asked him angrily.
"Because it's the only thing keeping you from killing everyone."
"Wh-what are you talking about?" I asked.
"Unfortunately, the compulsion that Marcus has held against you has put you into this state of mind where you are conscious of everything, but only have one objective; to in fact destroy Moscow.
I guess the nightmare wasn't over just yet. "How long have I been out?" I asked.
"Just three days," he answered. He walked up to me writing notes. "They're remarkable," he said to me. "The rapid speed that your cells are able to regenerate."
"Yeah, well it's not working so well for me right now," I said. "I'm not having any violent thoughts of nuclear destruction right now. So why don't you let me down, so I could leave?"
He laughed, "That's not going to happen." he answered, "Right now your mind is only revolving on the will that you need to get to Moscow to complete your mission. No matter how hard you fight it, if I let you free millions of people will die."
"So what you're just going to leave me up here for eternity?"
"No, but until we find a way to control your passions. We will need you in containment" he said to me.
A knock on the door stopped the conversation. "Come in," Doctor James said.
The door breezed open, and a guy in a uniform came in. "They're ready for you at the camp," he said to him.
"Well," Dr. James said, "Looks like I have to go." He collected his briefcase, and walked out of the door, and once again I was left alone in the room.

8 65Berserker- Crank Wars
Nearly 500 years have passed since the so-called apocalypse where souls dominated their control over the human vessels and grew into fierce monsters. A small frail kid saved humanity from getting wiped out of the face of the earth through his strangely powerful and unique techniques and taught them to the humans that followed him. He became a legend and humans developed special powers called cranks from his teachings. Humans couldn't procreate anymore. A very few thousands of last generation humans that remained or stayed alive by becaming crankers now constitutes the only humanity left on the planet. And they should continue to keep levelling up their cranks by slaying monsters and siphoning their souls to stay immortal and most of them tend to form teams to increase their odds. Everything was wrist-slittingly boring like that until one of those teams went ahead and mistakenly awakened the legend kid from his deep, and sound slumber. --------- One Chapter @Everyday -------------------- Unfortunately, I don't own the cover. I found it on Pinterest. And edited it a little.

8 64The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ
