Jayden turned slowly, eyes narrowing as the system notification hovered in his vision like a glowing taunt. His breath hissed out through clenched teeth, jaw tight.

"I'm starting to think the system likes messing with me." he mused.

Jayden rolled his eyes and sighed. "I wonder why it says the woman would be kidnapped. The men obviously just want to rape her."

Jayden took a deep breath. He stared down the alleyway again, the flickering streetlight casting long shadows against the cracked brick walls.

The woman was still pinned, now sobbing, her pink hair disheveled and tangled as the man pawed at her. The others stood nearby, chuckling like hyenas waiting for their turn.

Jayden exhaled sharply, stepping into the alley like a shadow walking out of the void.

"Hey," he called, voice low but sharp, like a blade dragging across metal.
