The Outliers - Evolution to the World's Strongest

In a world where, unbeknownst to most of Earth's population, people with special powers exist, known as Meta-Humans. Such people belong to one of two opposing organizations. The first, known as Harmony, aims to coexist with regular society and protect them from superhuman or supernatural threats while remaining in the shadows. The second, known as Eden, aims to overthrow regular human society and establish a world where the super-powered reign supreme. These two opposing sides have been fighting for centuries, with countless conflicts scattered throughout history. The power balance between the two had remained even for a long time, and in order to tip the scales in their favor, Harmony began a certain project...the creation of nine orbs made using pure, natural power, known as Meta-Orbs. These orbs can grant a person unimaginable power, but right as the creation of these objects is completed, a conflict results in all nine Meta-Orbs being scattered throughout the world...and anyone who comes across them will gain immense power, even normal humans, therefore giving rise to the world's first unnatural Meta-Humans. And so, this ensues a vicious scramble between Eden and Harmony, as both sides look to find the people that come across the Meta-Orbs and take them into custody. These artificially-induced unnatural Meta-Humans are labeled as 'Outliers', and in the span of a few days, all of them have their lives irreversibly changed. Whether this change is for the better or worse, remains to be seen...

Chapter 54 - Disconcerted

Point-of-View: Alexis Tucker

———————————————————————————

So, uh...wow, that just happened. I knew there was more to Neo than meets the eye, that much was obvious from the moment I first met him, but...but I didn't think he'd go this far.

That was...that was just brutal. I mean, yeah, he did say that he'd kill anyone who'd provoke the Outlier, but still, to actually go through with it, just like that...

"Someone clean this mess up, please," Instructed Neo, breaking the silence, before looking around and spotting us, and then addressing us in his usual tone, "Kiyana, do you mind showing her around and letting her pick a room for herself? And you three, if you don't mind, I'd like you to join in as well."

Yeah, after what he just pulled, I don't think any of us are gonna refuse him. Also, I was feeling a bit weak in the knees at the sight of the widening puddle of blood, so I wasn't exactly in a mood to argue anyway.
