The facility mission was a success, but Zero's unease grew. He realized he was trapped, forced to perpetuate the mercenaries' nefarious activities. During a rare moment alone, Zero made a daring decision – he would escape.

Utilizing his skills, Zero created a diversion and slipped away unnoticed. He vanished into the night, leaving behind the only life he knew. The thrill of freedom was exhilarating, but the uncertainty of his future was daunting.

Zero found himself in a bustling metropolis, surrounded by towering skyscrapers and anonymous faces. He adopted a new identity, "Zeno," and began rebuilding his life. He discovered a passion for learning, devouring books on various subjects in a local library.

Zeno's intellect and charm quickly made him a favorite among the library staff and patrons. He formed genuine connections, experiencing a sense of belonging for the first time. However, the memories of his past lingered, and Zeno knew he couldn't truly escape his former life.

One fateful day, while exploring the library's archives, Zeno stumbled upon a mysterious manuscript. The ancient text spoke of a powerful artifact hidden worldwide, capable of manipulating reality. Intrigued, Zeno became obsessed with uncovering the truth.
