In a remote tunnel…
Two figures were stealthily approaching the tunnel's end with cortion reflected in their eyes. One of them had a sword in his hands; it's sharp edges on full display giving whoever dared to challenge them a quick death in the enemy territory.
The second one had a bow and a quiver of arrows strapped on his shoulders; the arrows were coated in poisonous liquids which were very harmful because even one drop of the poison can kill a bare in a matter of two-minutes!
Despite having these things at their disposal, no one was overconfident in their abilities. But instead of being over confident, they were treading with slow steps towards their destination.
These two figures were Vicky and Himanshu. After being abducted by Jasmeen the two of them had thought that they were about to die but their fortunate luck was that Jasmeen was the sister of jin Talen, their master so they were no longer afraid of her from the outside but inside, they were as afraid as they could get because she was really strong! She was strong to the point that she could kill thousands of beings with a single spell.
Jin had told Jasmeen to Trane them and make them in a fine warrior. And to Trane them, Jasmeen had chosen this particular tunnel as their battleground for today's training.
this remote tunnel where not even the light could reach was all silent making shivers run down the both of their spines making them very afraid to tread faster and complete their training.
"what are you two moving so sluggishly for? Hurry up before the arrows arrive!" Jasmeen's voice reached their ears from a distant corner of the tunnel. They started to move faster because they were sure that Jasmeen would not tell something to harm them but as they took around a hundred steps more, the ground opened up and a small but sharp stone attacked their balls. "aaahhh!" a horrifying scream came out from their mouths as red blood covered their nether regions and they could even feel their senses going num from the horrible pain.
As they were continuously screaming from the torcher the pain brought, they felt a wave of healing energy entering their nether regions and healing their balls as they became like new again.
'thwack!' before they could even process anything they felt a terrible pain assault their backs but before they could do anything a voice sounded in their ears scaring the hell out of them completely--- "lesson number one… never trust your enemies words because they could be a trap meant to kill you. Although I am not your real enemy, I told you to believe that I am your enemy in this tunnel." The voice was soft, but horrifying enough that they wanted to die at that moment and now! But ignoring them Jasmeen threw another whip at their backs making them feel more pain and continued--- "lesson number 2… never, ever go in a fight with your vital organs like your heart, eyes, balls unprotected as they are the fastest was to kill you!" a wave of healing energy reached them again and heeled all the marks the whip left a moment ago and after healing their wounds Jasmeen once again continued--- "your useless master is just as useless as you two fools. He had not tot you anything. But let me give you something to protect your vital organs." Jasmeen said as she placed her index finger of both hands over both of their forehead as a rush of information about a skill started Cumming in their minds automatically.
'6th sense: passive skill: invoke a sixth sense inside you which will make you instinctively protect yourself from your vital organs in a tough battle.'
They were shocked after seeing the information of the skill because this was really a lifesaving skill! A skill which could protect them from vital harm during a battle was even precious then a legendary grade treasure in their eyes! As Jasmeen heard this out of their mouth's she was not able to decide whether to laugh or cry at their ignorance. But she could not blame them for it because they, or any other people of the earth had never seen a treasure which was classified under the legendary grade so it was just natural to think like this.
"it's now the time to give you a final lesson. The final lesson will be that you will write the two lessons you have learned today 10000 times on a stone so you will never forget these lessons again!". Jasmeen said as she produced a very large stone out of her storage treasure. Like jin, she also had a storage treasure but instead of blood, it could be used to store anything which is not living.
Himanshu and Vicky picked up the stones and started their task immediately. They were on cloud 9th when they realized that their training for today is over.

Jins POV.
When jin saw that tina's evolution was about to be completed he was excited and nervous at the same time! Tina's whole body started to glow as a reddish aura surrounded her and jin was able to hear her bones cracking and reforming at the same time. Jin knew that it would be very painful for her, but he also knew that if she managed to complete this evolution it will put her above her Piers. After her body turned red, her forehead started to glow in a reddish golden light and a system notification sounded in jins head:
'due to an ongoing evolution of someone who should not exist, your base will turn in a battle zone from a safe zone. In this battle zone, monsters will continuously spon and with each monster you will kill they will become stronger than before. In order to protect your base from the horde of monsters, you must kill the person who is going through the evolution.'
"this is absurd! I am not going to kill my own people just because they are going through an evolution which will make them someone even the governing entity, the mutation records itself was afraid of! "jin shouted out in frustration and was about to pool out his sword when he heard the notification inside his head.
'the mutation records had heard your demand and is guilty of threatening the individual named Jin Talen… as compensation, a compromise shall be given to the host.' Jin was pleasantly surprised at the change of the turn of events as he patiently waited for the next message.
'The mutation record had devised a compromise in order to compensate jin Talen. after the evolution, the strength level of the individual named tina Kashyap will be locked at the peak of first auder and she will not be able to advance her rank further until the second stage of evolution. Do you agree on this compromise?' hearing this notification, jin was delighted! He immediately clicked on the yes button and he again heard the notification of his base turning back to a safe zone.
Although jin knew that restricting tina's strength level until the second stage of the planet's evolution was a great losse because he did not knew how much time will it take for the planet to start it's evolution but when he looked at the good side of it, tina has a chance no one other wanted to take. She could grow her stats until they maxed out in that timeframe.
After getting everything sorted out, jin once again looked at tina and by this point, he realized that she was about to wake-up but before jin could acess more information, he received another notification inside his head.
'The Chane quest, Lady of flames has been up-graded!'
'quest description: the questline has been forcefully changed. Due to the unfortunate circumstances of the Lady Of Flames you now have to protect yourself and your base from destruction. It is greatly advised that the host must take the lady outside of anything which has walls.'
'quest conditions: protect yourself for at least thirty Minutes against the lady.'
'quest rewards will be adjusted acessing the user's performance.
'You have ten Minutes to carry the Lady of Flames outside: 600, 599, 598,'. Jin ignored the cooldown and rushed towards tina and as he neared her, he saw the blue barrior covering tina shattered as she lay their defenceless on the ground. Jin quickly picked her up and carried her out of the base and quickly started running towards a forest which was nearby the university.
But alas, there was no place in the world where jin could hide from the walls as wherever he looked, he only saw walls and walls and walls. Jin quickly ran in the forest and with his agility it did not took him much time to arrive deep in the forest as he looked at the timer to see how much time did, he has before tina woke-up. '160, 159, 158'.
There were less than three minutes before she woke up and three minutes for jin to live on if he did not manage to protect himself.
Jin took tina and using a rope he found he tied her legs and hands with it and tied the other end of the rope to a banyan tree and begins waiting for what happens.
