Alexei
Am in a container whare house. Full with well-placed containers, like how they are aligned in the sea and other mafia killing grounds. It is dimly lit, with a few flickering light bulbs. Ahead of me are about seven visible men in black. All look alike but with different body sizes.
On top is a mission tab.
MISSION: ENGAGE THE MEN AND DEFEAT THEM ALL.
REWARDS: 7000 E.P +700 bonus Points. Skills to be unlocked…
"Let's get over with this,"
The mission shall commence in
3…
I do a little warm-up… Jumping around and stretching…
2…
1…
Equip body suit…
Accept…
Just like before, it forms itself. Much lighter than the previous one, well flexible and it has well movable.
"Gentlemen!!" I scream as all their faces are marked red as they turn to face me. They don't move right away.
Ward!!!
I throw it, aiming at one of them right to his fucking head.
Critical hit… +2….
I catch their attention now, and they come rushing at me like a pack of wolves. Time slows as adrenaline surges through my veins. I sprint forward, my feet pounding against the cold, hard surface of the warehouse floor. As I approach, I bend low, my muscles coiling like a spring, then I dive at the nearest guard.
Notice: [Bodyguard Spear activated]
I latch onto him mid-stride, using his momentum against him. We tumble to the ground, and I quickly roll us both next to a nearby ward. Without hesitation, I grasp the ward and smash it down onto his skull.
Critical hit… +2…
One guard taken down…
Reward… 1000 E.P…
Extra bonus +700…
The guard dissolves into pixels, and I rise to my feet, scanning the dimly lit space. My heart races as I hear the echoing shouts of the others, their urgency palpable.
"Get him!!!" they roar, and I barely have time to react as a surge of electricity crackles through the air, narrowly missing me. I leap onto a nearby container, the metal hard beneath my palms, and I gain a moment of height.
Cling!!! Cling!!!!
Their footsteps hit the container with a heavy thud, the sound reverberating around me as they closed in. One guard lunges forward, his ward gripped tightly in his hands, a look of determination etched on his face. I brace myself, muscles tensing as I prepare to counter.
He swings wildly, and I intercept the strike with my left arm, the impact vibrating up to my shoulder.
Shock impact absorbed
I use that force to pivot, stepping into the swing and landing a powerful uppercut. The force of my punch connects solidly with his jaw, sending him reeling back, his eyes wide with shock.
He crashes to the ground, dissolving into pixels.
Notice: [Uppercut] unlocked.
Critical hit….+4
Guard defeated
Reward… 1000 E.P…
Extra bonus +100…
They give me no break as I see about four, fighting to gain at me, I look down, no way am jumping. Then I see a hovering container, I time it. As I feel their ominous aura closing in, I make a jump, barely clinging onto the container.
Uuuuuh!!!
I pull myself up.
Damn, the suit is a game-changer.
Notice: [High Stride Jump] unlocked.
One of the men dares and jump after me but meets with my boots as I kick him off. He drops down, collapsing in pixels.
Critical hit….+6
Guard defeated…
Reward… 1000 E.P…
Extra bonus +100…
I leap towards the next target, landing lightly on the ground. I can spot two of them now. No hesitation. I sprint forward, dropping low and rolling to the side. In one swift motion, I grab the ankle of the man on my left, yanking him off balance and slamming him to the ground.
Without breaking stride, I dash towards the second one, his ward already swinging toward me. I block it with my arm and immediately pivot, locking him in a judo grip. With a powerful twist, I flip him over my shoulder, slamming him hard into the concrete floor. His ward clatters away from his grasp.
I don't give him a second to react. I snatch up the fallen ward, fingers closing around the shock button. I press it against his chest, the electric pulse jolting through him as his body convulses under the surge.
Critical hit….+8
Guard defeated
Reward… 1000 E.P…
Extra bonus +100…
I turn to the other as he disappears.
[Skill: cool down activated]
He swings a punch, and it glances off my arm, barely making an impact. He tries again, but I'm ready, blocking it with ease. I can see the hesitation in his eyes as I close the distance between us, his instincts kicking in, forcing him to step back. His stance shifts as he throws another punch—this time, it strikes my helmet with a dull thud.
He pulls back, but I don't give him a second to recover. I charge in, grabbing his wrist and locking it in my grip. With a burst of energy, I leap, wrapping my leg around his neck in one fluid motion. We tumble to the ground, the metal beneath us groaning as I tighten the hold around his throat.
He thrashes beneath me, desperate to escape, his free hand clawing at my leg. But I only pull tighter, twisting with precision, feeling the tension in his neck as his movements grow weaker. A sickening crack reverberates through the air, and I release him, letting his limp body fall to the ground.
He struggles to rise, dazed and barely conscious, but I'm not done. Grabbing the ward, I bring it down on him without hesitation, ending the fight with finality.

Reward… 1000 E.P…
Extra bonus +100…
The two remaining guards materialize before me.
"Hey, fuckers! Just the two of you left!" I call out, smirking behind my helmet.
They exchange a glance and rush me, heavyweight thudding against the cold floor. The first one swings wide with his ward, and I duck under it just in time. I push off the ground and dart forward, aiming for the gap between them. My body moves faster than it ever has before, reflexes sharp and precise.
Notice: [Iron Reflexes] unlocked.
As the guard on the left recoils from his missed swing, I grab his arm, twist it hard, and slam him to the ground. His breath comes out in a grunt, but the second one is already charging. He brings his ward down in a vicious arc. I sidestep, narrowly avoiding the crackling electricity.
I plant my feet and pivot, my knee driving into the second guard's abdomen. He doubles over with a groan, and I immediately pull him into a tight guillotine choke, lifting him off the ground as his body struggles against mine.
Notice: [Bone Crusher Hold] unlocked.
The first guard stumbles back to his feet, shaking off the daze. I drop the second guard to the floor, his body limp, and spin to face the first just as he charges again. He throws a wild punch, but I block it with ease, twisting his arm behind his back and slamming him face-first into the container wall.
His head bounces off the metal with a sickening thud. As he reels from the impact, I grab him by the collar and slam the ward into his chest. The electric current surges through him, his body jerking violently before he bursts into pixels.
Critical hit….+10
Guard defeated
Reward… 1000 E.P…
Extra bonus +100…
Only one left.
The last guard glares at me, teeth bared and rushes forward in a blind rage. I wait, timing my move. When he's close enough, I step aside and sweep my leg into the back of his knee. He crumples to the floor, cursing. Before he can get up, I sweep down, grab his head, and twist it sharply.
As he groans, I slam his body to the ground, my knee pressing into his back. With one swift motion, I grab his fallen ward and thrust it into his ribs, activating the electric pulse. His body convulses, a gurgled cry escaping him before he dissolves into pixels.
Critical hit….+10
Guard defeated
Reward… 1000 E.P…

Before I could give a command the system started buzzing, like a hacked system. An intense buzz flickering from blue, a white sequence as some weird robotic message and my body felt like it was about to crumple in bits.

A heavy weight pressed down on me. Everything around me felt intense, like a storm brewing in my mind. My thoughts scrambled, trying to keep hold of reality, but soon enough, it all slipped away.
And I blacked out.
