It takes about a couple of seconds for my brain to fully wake up after making a jump in time but because of the amount of time i spent in Amanda's body I needed a couple of minutes. My wake up time was based on how long I jumped

Whenever I returned was also based on the amount of time I spent outside my body divided by the number of hours in a day and the time it took my brain to recover was never static but the longer I stayed in the past the longer it took to recover.

I had only done two test runs apart from landing in Amanda's mind so I lacked the full scale of information I needed to calculate the precise returning and recovery time but with the two jumps I had enough to guestimate the fractions 

*BLINK*

Ten minutes later I opened my eyes to a hazy and blurry surrounding and the inconsistent beam of light from the flickering lightbulbs dangling above my head also stung my pupils but as the time went on grad

    What they had just done was prepare themselves and their surrounding area especially the concrete circle they stood on and the same coloured platform in the middle of it which was a milk brown colour for what was about to happen while everything was in the dark parts of the forest and surrounded by large towering trees.Without saying a word two of the cloaked cult members stepped out from their gathered position and went in the west direction with one walking over to the platform and taking the rope with him before joining with his partner who had turned around to wait for him*step* *crack*They both walked slowly stepping on some branches on the ground with their bare legs and cultivating some cuts on them but with not a single sound coming off of their well covered bodies as their covered cloaks mixed with the darkness of the entire forest concealed every ounce of their skin.They both walked side by side until

    *GULP*With eyes agape and the rock in my hand trembling almost falling off I stood in shock as everything I feared had come into reality, there was someone in the back of the vanIt was a little kid, a girl not older than Amanda dressed in a white gown which had now caught on some dirt and all chained up to the floor of the van with bruises around her hands and feet gotten from pulling too hard on the chains in trying to free herself"What the f*CK is this?!" I exclaimed almost going out of breath in the processThe girl had her mouth muzzled so she wasn't able to speak out her words and the sight of myself suddenly and forcefully opening the door with a rock in hand and concealed identity had filled her with more terror than she was already experiencing as she pushed herself back defensively while crying but the chain wasn't long enough so she got pulled down before getting another bruise from the impact wit

    Nothing else struck my attention until reached the major road and the time was already over 11pm about some minutes to 12pm and finding a cab at that time was really difficult but I had anticipated that scenerio and called for a cab on my phone and ten minutes after I got to the major road my driver pulled to a stop in front of me.Since I made the call in the restricted zone I routed the call to being made from somewhere close to the major road so as not to set up alarms as even call locations and everything else was being monitoredI got in then we headed home and the entire ride home I rested my head on the left passenger's seat window looking out and sometimes falling asleep and waking up on a different street but we kept moving.I lived in district V in Jade city which was one of the few remaining cities in Haven without a restricted zone and the restricted zone I was just in, the one with my bunker was that of the

    THE RIFT BETWEEN

    I just want to say a big THANK YOU to every single reader that was able to get this far. Thanks for picking up this story and continuing with it even when the writing wasn't as good at the beginning and when the plot was feeling flat because I wasn't in a good head space or had enough free time to write what I wanted. Thank you for helping me grow as an author and tell my story and get your thoughts on it through the comments. Thank you for following me to the end of this journey. It's been almost two years since I started and finally the story comes to an end (or does it?) If you noticed I was kind of making things up as I went along which is why there are a few plot holes and things I forgot I had written before that didn't tie in well with the continuity of the story. This is my first ever book so a few mistakes are to be expected but regardless I apologise for them. I wanted to use this medium to both declare my appreciation for you guys as well as to pas

    MAKING THE RESET

    I had called my handler to meet me by a nearby coffee shop and by the time I got there he was already seated, waiting for me. Normally I avoid contact with him because it's always him hounding me about something but this was the first time in a long time that I was the one doing the reaching out."Sorry to keep you waiting Nick" I shook his hand then sat down."No problem, so, what is the purpose of this unexpected meeting""I want you to tell me everything about the Arc Agents and what the GHA's real objective is" I didn't waste anytime to ask the real questions.Nick was shocked by the bluntness of my question then tried to deny everything I asked and said in that meeting, gaslighting me most of the time and so it ended up with me not getting any worthwhile information out of him. The meeting took place before I had to go for work so without getting anywhere we ended it and I went to work but I knew that my questions wouldn't stay with Nick but wo

Every action and consequences of said action replayed in my head, panicking, unable to find peace until I woke up with a *GASP*After forcefully waking up, I reached for something with my hand only for that to be the ceiling of someplace I couldn't recognize or knew how I got there. I would pant, trying to catch my breath when all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my chest.My teeth gritted and eyes squinting in pain, I reached for the source of this excruciating pain which was when I noticed the medical equipments I was hooked to and that I was on a hospital bed."This is familiar" I said internally after thinking of how it reminded me of waking up in a hospital as my host, the last time I jumped into the pas

    BACK HOME

    Mirajh jumped off from the top of the drone and they walked up to the others and because Mirajh was there, Talon quickly relinquished his temporarily given authority in favour of hers."Mirajh and Malkome, you guys made it. So what's going on?" Talon asked."It's over, all our forces have been killed and from the looks of it, we are the only ones left so the question now should be, what should we do next?"Once she said that all their forces had been killed, there was a unanimous dropping of jaws and none of them expected that it could have gotten this bad. They had completely underestimated the Arc Agents and the trainees. The GHA weren't even able to send their Forces Units to assist but the trainees alone along with help from the Arc Agents were able to decimate their entire forces."What about General Icon, does any of you know his whereabouts? If we can verify his status then we might be able to come up with a plan" Talon asked but seeing the look on

    INTERSECTION

    Levy who was close by and saw when Akarli was taking aim jumped in front of Boyo, trying to shield him with her body while I was beside the both of them, noticing too late until the shot had been fired.Jeremiah who the shot pulled back to his senses and he saw who she was firing at, the care he had for his best friend even though he didn't want to admit it made him lose it and reflexively he fired multiple shots at Akarli too, killing her on the spot next to Icon.All of this would happen in an instant but for some reason, because I didn't want any of my friends to be shot so badly that I dont know what happened but just like when that strange phenomenon happened back at the court during our escape and I managed to find where Boyo was because of it, it happened all over again.Suddenly everything began to slow down and the surrounding got pitch black with the only thing being as visible as day time were those in there with an angered Akarli holding on to the gu

    FINAL PAGES

    Once we were brought to the back, my eyes went to the elderly looking man sitting on a metallic chair with a caramel skin coloured lady by his right hand side. In front of them I saw two more individuals who weren't turned to us at the time we entered. One of them I couldn't tell their identity from their stature but the other I knew perfectly well who it was. "Char!" Before I could get the word out Levy called out to Boyo who once the both of them turned we saw an annoyed look on his face and it was clear by that look that he didn't want us to be there. The Upriser behind us pushed the both of us, telling Levy and I to keep on walking which we did until we walked up to where Boyo and the others were. "Nice to meet you, the both of you" Icon greeted us with a gentle smile which was obvious that he was hiding something from everyone, including those who were supposed to be his comrades in there. There was still something he failed to expose. "!!" Levy

    THE JOURNAL BELONGS TO...

    ""A journal?!"" Both Boyo and Jeremiah exclaimed."Yes... SIGH... A very long time ago, way before our formerly great nation was completely destroyed, former General Franklin Crow brought a younger me to one of his expeditions but this want just any regular expedition. It all started with him unintentionally finding the Philosophers Stone which brought about the rebirth and Emergence of our greatest soldier Anthony Wonne on one of his trips into the United States territory, allowing us to tap into a power that was only secret to our enemies. At that time and I had just been born so my father was the one who spearheaded the position I would later get when I was old enough so none of them knew that that small piece of attractive stone had such power hidden within it until years later, moments before the fall of the Old Soviet Alliance territory"Icon spoke with vivid words so that they would be carried along to where he was heading to."Being a curious man and thi

    LOST WAR EVEN BEFORE BEGINNING

    "Holy shit, what's that up there?" I couldn't help but exclaim while I and Levy tried our best to sneak into the slaughter house. We were moving very carefully, trying not to make any noise when my eyes just went up to the sky and I saw some strange looking patterns being created. "Shush Samuels, do you want to get us caught?" Levy reprimanded me with a low tone of voice but when she turned around to face me and do that she saw the awe stricken expression I had and my gaze up to the sky and she too followed. "What are you looking at?" she had her eyebrows scrunched. The moment she asked that question, my eyes flicked to her and I saw that she too was looking up to the sky but instantly realised the fact that she most definitely wasn't seeing what I was seeing. 'Don't tell me that I'm really the only one who sees that thing? No, that must be it because with her keen senses she would have noticed it even before I did if she could see it. Am I perh

    NUCLEAR DIVERSION

    Because the GIGANTA MACHINA worked like one big system, when the center of it was torn apart and the Stealth Drones that made up that part being completely destroyed the rest separated and returned to being Drones but because of what happened to the fused system the Stealth device they had was damaged and the separated drones were no longer able to go invisible.They all flew in different paths, dividing into those wanting to attack the trainees and those wanting to attack Michael but Michael acted quickly and changed where the outlet of the explosion was and used that to sweep the drones coming for him until all the explosion energy had been exhausted. From that point he attacked every single drone in the air with his BLACK FORCE-FIELD BLADE, not giving any the chance to attack the trainees but that meant that he had a lot to take care of on his own.With all their Force-fields no longer a viable option for defense and all the trainees they had to go against rea
