Ara stared at the number. Four hundred EXP was almost everything she had saved up from days of tough survival tasks. Spending it now would reset her progress and leave her weak for what was coming in the next ten days.

She looked at the radio in her hand. She thought of Daniel’s kind eyes, Silas’s sharp grin, and the cold toxic river closing over her head in her past life.

*I’m done being weak.*

“Accept,” Ara whispered.

The system chimed softly.

    The moment Ara’s eyes locked onto Ryan’s smug, familiar face, a sickening wave of clarity hit her. She shouldn’t have trusted that guard outside. She shouldn’t have let her guard down even for a second.When the man had grabbed her shoulder in the crowded press area, her first thought was to pull her weapon. But he had leaned in close, whispering urgently that he was there to stop Hawkins too. He claimed he was a fellow player trying to sabotage the launch. To prove it, he triggered a proximity ping, and her LUS interface flashed a blue confirmation of his player status. He acted genuinely impressed, saying he’d heard rumors about Player 001 and felt lucky to meet her. Posing as one of the perimeter guards, he’d walked her straight past security and into the executive suite. Only when she saw Ronan arrive with Kayla — and noticed there was zero recognition between Ronan and the guard — did the trap finally click shut. She had been led right into it.Ryan’s grin widened, his eyes crink

    The matte-black dirt bike slowed to a stop in a trash-filled alley three blocks from City Hall. Ronan killed the engine and sat still for a moment, hands on the handlebars, trying to process what he’d seen twenty minutes earlier.Ara had simply vanished. One second she was standing next to him, eyes glowing with that strange golden light. The next, she had launched forward like a rocket, blurring down the industrial bypass faster than his bike could go. He had no idea how it was possible.*What the hell was that?* he thought, jaw tight, as he climbed off the bike.Without her map, he had to rely on his own sense of direction, pushing through the heavy traffic. He pulled out the radio Ara had left behind and turned up the volume.“…the public address has concluded. CEO Ramsdale Hawkins and Mayor Higgins have re-entered the secure area of City Hall to finish the authorization protocols. Heavy military blockades are now in place at every entrance…”The window was closing fast. Ronan tuck

He turned to look at her, confused. “What are you doing? We don’t have time to stop.”Ara climbed off the bike, her boots hitting the gravel. A strange burning energy surged through her veins, making her muscles twitch with power.“Keep riding toward City Hall,” she told him firmly. “Take the canal route. I need to get there faster than

    The sirens wailed so loudly Ara could feel them in her teeth. She kept running hard, legs pumping, chest burning like it was full of broken glass. The sedan was gone. The team was split. And those red numbers in her vision kept dropping.*19:42... 19:41...*She cut sideways into a narrow service chute behind some old meatpacking buildings, brick walls closing in on both sides. Her boots slipped on the greasy concrete. She spun around, back against the wall, and raised her 9mm with shaky hands.Heavy footsteps echoed at the mouth of the alley. Two police officers appeared with their guns drawn, red and blue lights flashing across the bricks.“Drop the weapon! Hands where I can see them! Now!” the first one shouted.Ara’s thumb rested on the safety. She was trapped. Firing would bring more trouble. Letting them take her would run out the timer anyway.The second officer stepped closer, handcuffs ready. “Do it now, girl. Don’t make this harder.”Before he could move any further, a loud d

    “Where the hell did she get a police van?” Daniel whispered.Silas narrowed his eyes at the tallest man standing next to Elena. “That’s Deputy Chief Vance. He’s a player, Ara. She’s already got people inside the police.”“Ara!” Elena’s voice boomed through the alley from a megaphone. She was smiling, sharp and mean. “Did you really think you could run the same game twice? You’re still weak. Still soft. Drop your weapons and get out of the car, or we turn this alley into a graveyard.”“Hold on!” Ronan shouted.He didn’t wait. He slammed the car into reverse, tires smoking as he tried to back down the narrow alley fast.But Elena wasn’t alone. A man stepped out from a side alley behind them. He didn’t look big, but the air around his legs seemed to ripple. A blue system message flashed in Ara’s vision.:TARGET DETECTED: FACTION PLAYER.** :SKILL ACTIVATED: ATHLETIC SURGE [LEVEL 3].The man moved unnaturally fast, a blur that caught up to the reversing car in seconds. He jumped onto the

    The air in the underground vault smelled strongly of gun oil and ozone. Ara adjusted the strap of her holster, the leather pressing into her shoulder through her jacket. Her hands were steady, but her mind was racing with numbers, countdowns, and memories from the life she’d already lost once.In the corner, Silas grunted as he lifted the heavy, wire-wrapped bazooka onto his shoulder. The faint blue glow from its battery pack lit up his face.“You’re not bringing that,” Ara said flatly, checking the magazine in her 9mm pistol without looking up.Silas paused, resting the barrel against his cheek. “Ara, darling, we’re about to assassinate the CEO of a huge biotech company who’s surrounded by military guards. This isn’t a quiet mission—it’s going to get messy.”“We’re going in undercover, Silas,” Ara replied, her voice cold and firm. “A modified rocket launcher doesn’t exactly blend in with civilian contractors. Plus, it almost brought the roof down on us four hours ago. Is it even safe
