Deep down within the dark pit the trio had fallen into, a moan escaped a certain girl's lungs.
"K-Kyah~! W-Wait, Cyanide, that spot's-"
"Shut up, you're so annoying!" A male's voice whispered coldly in disgust, cutting her off amidst the darkness.
Suddenly, lights in the room flickered to life, and the pit of darkness was dark no more. It was also revealed that the girlKirikahad landed on top of Cyanide, and she embarrassingly crawled off of him.
"U-Um sorry."
" Tch." Cyanide dusted his clothes off, then slowly rose to his feet. Glancing around, he realized they were in a laboratory. It would seem they had succeeded in infiltrating this place, and as for the mutants
He looked up, only to find that the ceiling had been sealed, and not a single mutant had fallen in with them. It was as if this place had protected them, one way or another. But the ceiling being shut also ant that while the mutants outside couldn't get in Cyanide, Kirika, and Silverfang couldn't get out either.
"Looks like we have no choice but to explore this place, huh?" Kirika murmured, closing her eyes. "I am detecting a few auras in this place, though, so be careful. They seem stronger than mostStage Two, perhaps?"
Silverfang sniffed the air like a bloodhound, then gave a nod. " can confirm."
" I see. Well, you're staying right here," Cyanide ordered. "Your footsteps make too much noise."
" understand," Silver replied with a nod. "Should you be in trouble, you must only call. will co as fast as can."
"Heh, what a reliable guy," Kirika said with a snicker. "Hey, Cyanide, you should take so pointers from him.
Cyanide, ignoring her, drew his weapons just like Kirika, and together, the two entered the secretive underground library, filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered.

- anwhile, Outside Aterra Headquarters -
"What's this?"
A man stumbled upon the massively tall skyscraper building in front of him in all of its glory. Of course, this man wasn't impressed in the least, but he was sowhat intrigued.
His na is Ragnar Creed. For the past several days, he has been searching for any powerful enemies to kill. He needed to win this ga, in order to realize his wish. And in order to win this ga, he needed to get stronger. Stronger than any other player, stronger than any mutant.
Back on Earth, he was used to being stronger than everyone else. A supersoldier experint gone wrong, he possessed ten tis as much strength as what a normal supersoldier should've had. Not a single one of his foes has ever escaped from his clutches, and stayed alive.
Well mostly.
There was but a single person who sohow always managed to evade Ragnar, the so-called Titan of Shadows. His real na and face were both unknown to Ragnar, but he did know the person's alias: Cyanide. No matter how much Ragnar tried to hunt down this top assassin of the underground, this guy sohow always ended up finishing his jobkilling the targetbefore Ragnar could even get there. He was a constant pain in Ragnar's ass, that was for sure.
But never mind thatall of that's in the past. Right now, Ragnar had to focus on this new worldEndzone. And his current objective? To explore the building in front of him. His [Radar] skill had picked up on sothing in here, and the energy signature was stronger than any mutant he's faced before.
He was currently Level 20, so he should be able to take whatever was inside here on. That's how confident he was. The idea of running away didn't even cross his mindthat's just the kind of person he is. Headstrong, iron-willed, and stubborn.
Stepping through the rotary doors of the building, Ragnar headed directly for the basent. That was where the energy signature was coming from according to his [Radar], and he didn't care about anything else. EXP and leveling up were all that mattered. He must win this god-forsaken ga.
When he opened the door at the bottom of the stairs, however
"Doo-do-doo, doo-do-do-doo~"
An old man, humming so kind of tune unfamiliar to Ragnar, walked out of one of the many doors down the corridor with a paper in his hand.
""
"Doo-do-do-" The old man suddenly stopped as he spotted Ragnar a few ters away, and dropped the paper in his hand.
"W-Who the hell are you?!"
Ragnar, confused at what to do, arched an eyebrow.
"? Er I am Ragnar Creed. And you are?"
"Uh" Doctor Finch fell into thought montarily. It would seem this man didn't know that he was a mutant just yet, and was therefore not attacking him. If that's the case, then he could take advantage of that
"A-Ahem, you can call Finch. Nice to et you, but uh this is my ho, so could you please leave?"
" Hold it," Ragnar suddenly said, narrowing his eyes. "Your 'ho'? You an you are a native here, not a player?"
"Er yes?" Doctor Finch replied hesitantly, not used to lying.
" Hm." Ragnar fell into thought montarily. His [Radar] skill was currently on cooldown, so he had no way of telling whether or not the man before him was in fact hostile. He didn't seem like it, but people had many facesRagnar knew that all too well.
He was now stuck between a decision on what to do. On one hand, there had been only one hostile presence his [Radar] had picked up on in this building, and this man appeared to be the only lifeform here. On the other, though if this man nad Finch was truly a native of this world and not an enemy, then trespassing on his 'ho' wouldn't exactly be right. Ragnar had his own justice to uphold, and breaking and entering into other people's hos wasn't part of it.
In the end, Ragnar decided to simply retreat for now, and wait until his [Radar] was back up to make any moves. He definitely was not done here, though. Whatever it is was lurking here, he would find it. It wouldn't be long until the cooldown of his [Radar] skill was over, and when that happened, he will be able to find the root source of the signal he picked up on earlier.
Whether that truly ca from this man, Finch, or a different entity altogether would soon be revealed to Ragnar.
If the forr, then he would simply kill this mutant in human's disguise, but if the latter, then he would hunt it down.. It was that simple.
