Rebirth: Over the Horizon

Adam's body was stiff and he was calm on the outside but, 'How much unlucky, you're to get caught by some random thug, Ariana' he sighs.

The boss was holding a K3-pistol, it has 21 bullets which is enough to kill all of them in here.

The leader glances at the staff, who greeted them, she winks her as some sort of signal.

But, at the next moment straight hile forms up in getting head and she falls on the ground with a 'Thud'

"Trash people...Don't deserve to live"

The blood covers the white tiles with red paint.

"Kyaaa..."

"She...She is DEAD!!"

The people in the room starts to scream as some of them fell to the ground helplessly.

The boss turns and sees Adam, who was unfazed by seeing a dead person before his eyes.

What would happen to a person, who kills for the first time or sees a person get killed for the first time?

AMYGDALA, a small organ in the middle of the brain goes to work.

Humans are very feeble, they can't accept something new, which they experience for the first time.

Especially a dead person.

Some scream, some cry, some run and some faint.

But, if a person is unfazed by a dead body, who was only killed before a second.

It means, ..YOU HAVE KILLED BEFORE.

"Haha.." the masked thief laughed and said "I know...I wouldn't be wrong"

He pointed the guns towards Adam,

"You are the one we are looking for, if you don't come with us now...it won't end well"

A slight sweat formed in Adam's forehead he grinningly said "Okay, first let the hostage go."

"Fine, fine... " he tossed Jane aside and walked towards Adam.

'Should I just try to attack him, no, I think it's better not to resist. Moreover, there are two more people other than him by his side.'

His hands were cuffed and his face was covered with a black cover.

The thug took out a shock gun and used it on Adam. "Ah...." with a scream he fainted.

-----

Knock! Knock Knock...

'I hear someone's knocking'

Knock! Knock Knock Knock…Knock...

'Huh, who is this? Ah... That's right. I was kidnapped'

'My body won't budge and even my vision is black...'

Adam slowly turns his head and does it for a few more moments. "Oh, It seems you're awake" a sweet female voice with a British accent greets his ears.

The black cover on his face finally goes off and a young 23-years old British girl appears in his view.

"It seems you're tougher than I thought, I feel like I underestimated you, Adam"

Adam slowly moved his mouth and tried to say something...but there was no sound, he tried again.

"Who...are y...ou?"

Then from behind him, Adam hears another voice "We are, Archangels" British, like the one in front of him, but the accent's a bit different.

Adam slowly turns around and sees a

woman in a suit and blue tie with her hands behind her back, as well as a young man next to her.

'I have heard this name 'Archangels' they are one of the 7 strongest Mafia's in the world'

Adam remembered and nodded his head.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"As you know, we, Archangels only rob from the rich, illegal and corrupt person."

Yes, they certainly do.

"When we were looking through china's one of the pillar family 'The shengs'. We found strange information."

Adam's curiosity peeked up, 'Why they are telling me that?'

"I know what you are thinking, as for the reason why I am saying this to you is that..." the woman in didn't if he stops for a second "The world is ending"

'Wait...What?'

He was truly taken aback his mind went blank and thousands of questions popped up in his head.

Still, his facial expression was the same. "Why are you telling me this?"

She nods her head and says "Because it is related to the game you are playing [Horizon]"

"I am sure you would think us crazy, but we don't care."

"Life is like toilet paper, you're either sittin' on a stack before going on a roll, or gettin' ripped off and taking shit from some asshole."

There was silence for a moment.

"We don't want to become a 'toilet paper' So, we want your help...we won't force you."

"It's just that we don't have any other way to bring you here, that's why we used force to bought you here"

Again, she gave a moment for him to digest the information.

"But, remember we will definitely provide you with all the support you need if you agree to Co-operate with us."

"Even if this world did end, we will still be loyal towards you. At the same time, we also expect the same loyalty from you."

Adam felt it hard, even if they are a group, who only robs from illegal and corrupt people. Still, it doesn't change the fact they are robbers.

It wasn't like he wanted to become a hero. He doesn't want to become a villain either.

The string-A rope in his hands was cut. They even gave him a glass of wine.

He took a sip from it and said "I will accept your offer then."

'To the hell with hero or villain, when the world itself is meeting its doom.' as he thought he took and another sip from it.

"Thank you for accepting our proposal," the woman said she took out something which was covered in a re-usable paper.

"Here, keep this always with you."

Adam took the object and saw, it was a gun. A real gun. He wasn't surprised anyway these things are unusable in less than two months.

He place it in his overcoat side-inner pocket and got up from his seat.

"Okay, then we shall meet again at the [Horizon]"

Just as he was about to exit through the door. Adam remembered that he doesn't know where this place is.

'How embarrassing!'

He turned around. "I don't know way out of here"

The woman smirked and said, "My people are waiting down, they will safely drop you."

Adam nodded and asked, "Shouldn't I at least know your name."

"Nina. The name is Nina, be sure to remember it."

He again nodded and left the place.

'He...sure is a tough one, Hm~'

---

As soon as Adam got down, he spot the latest model of Zirconia. It was so cool and gave off the vibe of arrogance.

He was greeted by a woman in her early twenties with auburn hair in a ponytail, dark-blue eyes, and a wonderful smile.

She was smiling.

"Hey there~ Get in."

But, unlike her appearance, it seems that she is rather straightforward.

Adam seats at the rear passenger seat and closes the door.

The woman turns towards him, saying, "Good morning! The name's Sariel. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the awkwardly quiet ride!"

And just like that, the car spins into a U-turn, careening onto the sidewalk.

His body is thrown, squashed into the door, and he holds on to his dear life as the car finishes its drift back onto the asphalt.
