Leave the Monster alone
Mark's life changed the day someone broke into his clinic to tell him that he had been a character of a video game all along and what he had known till now had been a code decided by the game's system. When he was supposed to die though, an external interference broke the code and he was no longer part of the system. Now as the only external influence inside the code, his existence was an enigma on its own. And his fate was to turn into a monster when the humanity continued to betray him at every corner of the world. 'His nature was gentle and loving to the point of putting himself in danger for those he loved. But betrayal laid everywhere in his new world and he should get used to being used' My twitter: https://twitter.com/ojasvisharma6 Support me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/daygonyuuki (cover is not mine, I like it but if the maker wants it gone, they can tell me and I'll change)
Rift - 2
It made it easier for Mark to get away from his clutches and he hurried up to leave the place. The AI thankfully followed behind him and did not go back to the factory. This was what he had been aiming for since the start. Whatever had made that shot, it had been enough to turn the tides of this match for now.
Now it was a game of cat and mouse which Mark did not have to win. He just had to make sure the other did not catch him before the time was up and he could live happily ever after. The other ran after him, the claws trying to get a hold on Mark but it was proving to be impossible at the moment. Mark was just too agile for the other side to be able to contain.
