Chapter 3: The Mysterious Hybrid
Smit, Ishwar, and Daksh were part of a UTP expedition exploring the ocean near the 3rd territory. Their mission was to gather intelligence and scout for potential threats. As they sailed through the choppy waters, they stumbled upon a strange sighting - a 14-year-old boy, floating unconscious in the sea.
The boy's features were a mix of human, demon, and goblin, leaving the team perplexed. They quickly rescued him and brought him aboard, deciding to transport him to the UTP headquarters for further examination.
Upon arrival, the UTP personnel were shocked by the boy's appearance, and some even suspected him to be a goblin spy. As the boy lay unconscious, a staff member, fueled by suspicion and fear, attempted to slay him with a sword. However, the boy's ultra-instinct defense kicked in, and he blocked the attack with an unconscious reflex.
The team was stunned, and a heated debate ensued. Some argued that the boy was too dangerous to be trusted, while others believed he might hold the key to understanding the mysterious 3rd territory. Finally, after a long argument, they managed to calm down and tend to the boy's wounds.
As the boy regained consciousness, they learned his name was Ayush. To their surprise, Ayush expressed his desire to join the UTP's Slayer category, determined to prove himself as a valuable asset. Despite initial reservations, the team eventually agreed to give him a chance.
Ayush's arrival sparked a new chapter in the UTP's journey, raising questions about the true nature of the 3rd territory and the secrets it held. Little did they know that Ayush's presence would be the catalyst for a chain of events that would shake the very foundations of Picify.
