Kelix stood there, completely shocked.

  I suspected they were working on something big…

  But I never imagined it was this massive.

  He looked around at the endless rows of machines and tubes.

  They’re everywhere.

  If no one stops them, they could take over the world in a very short time.

  Then his eyes froze on one of the people in the room.

  Wait…

  That’s my neighbor.

  Kelix felt a chill run through his body.

  So this is how they do it…

  They collect human blood from hospitals. Every day, thousands of people visit hospitals for checkups and tests.

  No one suspects anything.

  The blood is taken, the RS are created… and when they are ready, they replace the real people.

  The originals disappear.

  And the RS take their place.

  Kelix’s mind raced as he watched the process.

  Then he noticed something else.

  One of the men whose blood he had seen earlier looked familiar.

  Kelix remembered immediately.

  He’s a criminal.

  Kelix had seen his wanted poster before.

  So they’re using everyone…

  Criminals, normal citizens… even people who work in hospitals.

  His thoughts became darker.

  Doctors… police officers…

  They could be anywhere.

  Kelix clenched his fists.

  If I hadn’t fought with the cops that night…

  If nothing had happened to my family…

  I would have never discovered the truth.

  We trust doctors.

  We trust the police.

  But some of them… aren’t even real.

  Kelix looked at the lab one more time.

  His eyes filled with determination.

  But now I know the truth.

  And I won’t let them destroy this world.

  Kelix watched the man carefully.

  That tattoo…

  I’ve seen it somewhere before.

  He tried to remember, but the memory wouldn’t come.

  The man stood in front of the machine, placing his hand on it as magical energy flowed through the system and into the tubes.

  So he’s the one supplying the magic… using the machine.

  Kelix forced himself to stay calm.

  First, I need to find my family.

  Around him, the workers continued their tasks.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  No one was paying attention to him.

  Soon the workers asked for more blood samples.

  Kelix saw his chance.

  They’re asking for blood again… good.

  I’ll go for the second round.

  As he walked down the corridor with another worker, he noticed something important.

  The supervisor was busy talking with the tattooed man.

  Perfect.

  Kelix quietly reached up and cut the CCTV wire.

  Now the cameras couldn’t see what was happening in that corridor.

  I can’t use my powers here, he reminded himself.

  Even a small spell could cancel the potion’s effect.

  If that happens, they’ll immediately sense that I’m a hunter.

  The corridor was empty.

  Only Kelix and the worker walking beside him.

  Kelix moved quickly.

  Before the man could react—

  thud.

  Kelix knocked him unconscious.

  He dragged the man to the side and hid his body behind some equipment.

  Kelix looked around carefully.

  The corridor was still empty.

  No one had seen anything.

  Kelix carefully looked down the long corridor.

  There were many rooms on both sides.

  On the left side, every door had a green triangle mark.

  On the right side, the doors had red triangle marks.

  At the very end of the corridor, there was a large chamber.

  Unlike the other doors, it had no mark at all.

  But the moment Kelix looked at it, he felt something strange.

  A heavy, unsettling feeling.

  Something is inside that room…

  But the door was locked.

  Kelix remembered what the worker had told him earlier.

  When they had been taking blood from the green-marked rooms, Kelix had asked casually,

  “Why don’t we take blood from the red rooms?”

  The worker had immediately replied,

  “There are no humans stored there. All the humans are kept in the green rooms.”

  Then he had lowered his voice and added,

  “And remember this—never enter the red rooms. They’re prohibited.”

  Now the words echoed again in Kelix’s mind.

  Inside the green-marked rooms, rows of people lay unconscious.

  One by one, the workers took blood from them.

  They were all still alive… just asleep.

  Kelix’s chest tightened.

  I just hope… this hasn’t happened to my family.

  No… no, no…

  He forced himself to breathe slowly.

  Calm down, Kelix.

  Stay positive.

  Kelix moved deeper into the corridor, checking the other rooms.

  I have to keep searching.

  Kelix checked the first green-marked room.

  Then the second.

  Then the third.

  None of them were there.

  His heart beat faster as he opened the fourth room.

  And then—

  He froze.

  His eyes widened.

  “Mom…?”

  “My sister…?”

  They were there.

  Kelix ran toward them immediately.

  He dropped to his knees and hugged them tightly.

  “Mom…! It’s me… it’s Kelix…”

  Tears streamed down his face as he held them.

  But after a moment…

  His joy slowly turned into fear.

  Something was wrong.

  Kelix closed his eyes and tried to sense their energy.

  And then his heart sank.

  He couldn’t feel their souls.

  They were alive… but empty.

  “Mom… what happened to you…?”

  Kelix’s breathing became heavy. Sweat formed on his forehead as panic filled his mind.

  “No… this can’t be happening.”

  “I can’t lose you now… not after finally finding you.”

  He clenched his fists and forced himself to think.

  Wait…

  Earlier… I sensed a lot of soul energy from the red-marked rooms.

  Realization slowly formed in his mind.

  Maybe they’re not only taking blood…

  Maybe they’re taking the souls too.

  Kelix looked at his mother and sister again.

  That’s why just a drop of blood is enough to create an RS…

  So why keep these people alive?

  His eyes hardened with determination.

  Because their souls are somewhere else.

  Kelix stood up.

  “I still have a chance.”

  “I just need to find their souls.”

  He looked toward the corridor where the red-marked rooms were.

  “I’m sure… they transferred the souls there.”

  I got up and headed toward the red room and it can’t open from this id. This is only work for green rooms .

  I only have one option left. Let's see whatever happens I start focusing on sensing my mom and sister's soul. I found it ,I didn’t think anything and broke the door by kicking. The sirens are buzzing now .

  and I enter the room and break the jars. They are magic jars which trap the soul and there are lots of them and I break all of them in the room cause it's the only room where I sense my moms soul.

  I use my power and Break them, all in one sweep now the effect of the potion is gone when I am trying to focus where my mom and sis souls are .

  The yellow light balls come out from the jars and go toward the green mark rooms And my moms and sister soul also back to their body.

  I sense their presence. They are breathing the sound of their heart beats,but they are still unconscious. I feel so relieved we can stay together again.

  The door burst open.

  Before anyone could react, the man stormed in like a hurricane.

  He didn’t speak.

  He didn’t hesitate.

  He grabbed me by the collar and slammed his fist straight into his face.

  The impact was brutal.

  His body lifted off the ground and shot backward — crashing through the first wall in a cloud of dust and shattered concrete.

  Boom.

  He didn’t stop.

  Kelix's body tore through the second wall. Bricks exploded. The air filled with debris.

  By the third wall, the sound echoed through the entire building — a violent roar of destruction.

  He finally stopped sliding when he crashed into the center of the hall, leaving a long trail of broken rooms behind him.

  Silence.

  Dust slowly settled.

  Footsteps.

  Heavy. Calm. Controlled.

  The opponent walked through the wreckage as if nothing had happened.

  Kelix coughed, trying to push himself up—

  But a hand grabbed his collar again.

  He was yanked upward, feet dangling above the ground.

  Their eyes locked.

  And then—

  Another punch.

  This one wasn’t just strong.

  It was personal.

  The sound echoed through the hall like thunder.

  “Who the hell are you?" he asks while grabbing my collar and the blood drips from the side of my mouth .

  “Who sent you here?”

  Kelix grabs his fist and kicks him, he gets back and stands and The attack comes fast.

  Kelix raised his arm and blocked it, the impact forcing him back a step — but he didn’t fall.

  The opponent moved behind him in a blur.

  Too strong.Too fast.

  A fist drove into his back and sent him sliding across the floor, but this time he twisted mid-air and landed on his feet.

  He wiped the blood from his lip.Then he moved first.

  A sudden dash: A sharp elbow to the ribs.A punch aimed at the jaw.but Kelix blocks all the attack

  He started taking control of the pace, forcing the opponent to react instead of attack.

  Blow after blow, he kept the pressure on.

  But even while leading the fight, his eyes stayed .

  If this continues he will beat me so I have to do something .

  Kelix took a deep breath and tried to analyse him. He is strong but all I sense from his aura is rage and it’s his weakness in a battle any emotion can become your strength and the weakness depends on you how you control them .

  and from what I see he isn’t good with his anger as his pride gets hurt. How can someone spoil his plan?

  I start mocking him

  “You think you are powerful but you are a dumbass who is arrogant.”

  “All you can do is show your power to weak people that you take them here , and take their souls, now show it to me.”

  “Stop it” he is yelling and his aura turns red his whole body covers with the red flame aura

  Yes, my plan is working.

  As much as he gets angry his attack power increases but the speed is decreasing and here I got him .

  Kelix throws punches and so many attacks with so much speed that the man can’t process and he gets getting more mad and he pulls his own hair and yells he is so impatient they continue to fight Kelix beat him so badly he is lying on the ground.

  “You are not bad, but you know you can defeat me but you can’t win. I won't let you, you can’t take your family out of here. You did all this for them right as no one in this world is so good that he risks his life for strangers. They are here right” .

  He gets up and pushes a red button and suddenly the ground starts shaking. The whole cave has vibrations the supervisor yells at him .

  “What did you do? You know how dangerous it can be. The laboratory will get destroyed and all our plans will come to light in the world .” The supervisor said to the man

  “I don’t care, I will never let him win. We will see whatever happens and don’t worry we made another laboratory. If you want to work in that laboratory just go and run .” He pressed a button .

  Then

  The gate of the chamber in the end of hallway

  BOOM!

  The massive iron gate at the end of the hall exploded inward.

  Metal screamed as it tore from its hinges The gate didn’t just fall — it flew. Spinning violently through the air, crushing pillars and shattering stone tiles before slamming into the far wall with a thunderous crash.

  Straight to the hall I sense so much dark aura .

  The man is on his knees,

  “ you are going to die here boy but I will not let you take your family from here” , suddenly the ground starts shaking and with every step it shakes and a growl comes so loud.

  Out of the dust emerged a colossal figure — a monster like a gorilla far larger than anything they had faced before. Its head nearly brushed the ceiling.

  He is standing, his eyes are red and has armour on his body and there is a big red stone between the Armour he is growling and destroying the cave upper ceiling with just hand the sky is clear now ,now it’s just the underground cave with no ceiling .
