Biodun stood at the edge of the coalition camp, his gaze on the blurred line where the horizon met the sky. A low hum from the Evolution System buzzed in his mind, its rhythmic pulse anchoring him to the path he’d chosen. Around him, his allies—friends forged in countless battles—stood in reverent silence. Faces streaked with dust and sweat showed exhaustion etched into hardened lines, but each person stood resolute. They were here not just to defend but to fight for the future they’d built together.
“Today is different,” Biodun began, his voice clear against the quiet. His eyes met each leader’s in turn, lingering on the loyal faces of his closest allies—Tunde, Bose, and Cassian, who had fought alongside him through every moment of friction and victory. “We’re not just protecting ourselves; we’re defending the system that has given us everything. This isn’t just survival. It’s about creating a future.”
