The strange beast that could speak, the Minotaur with an above-average attack pattern… None of this felt like a coincidence.
'Something must be happening here,' Kairos thought, but for some reason, Carlos' words began to echo in his mind—words that had haunted him since he first stepped into this strange world.
Why had the military lied about this being Earth?
Kairos remembered the old sci-fi movies he watched when he was younger. In those stories, the military always had a secret—some hidden experiment they conducted in the name of progress or power. They'd capture creatures, test unknown weapons, and create monsters from the things they didn't understand. If any of that was even remotely true, then…
'Are they… weaponizing these beasts?'
Because what other reason could there possibly be for a military base to exist in a place like this? Why the secrecy? Why the danger?
It made a chilling kind of sense.
