Chapter 8: Rai’ki
In the face of extinction, purpose becomes our greatest weapon

Our vehicle rolled to a stop in one of many parking spaces near the student training facility. Even before the car fully halted, I had swung the door open. I stepped out quickly, my eyes locked on the most impressive structure I had ever seen.
It was a massive spherical building made entirely of glass, towering into the sky like a monument from another world. Across its surface flowed stars, galaxies, and entire star systems—each moving in perfect harmony.
I had seen skyscrapers stretch into the clouds before, but never something like this. A sphere. A glass giant painted with the cosmos.
If someone saw this place at night, they could easily get lost in the moment.
"Amazing," I muttered.
"This is the Lone Star Training Facility," Pamela said, stepping beside me. "Equipped with the most sophisticated learning tools on the planet. It’s proof of our commitment to raising the most exceptional Limitless this world will ever see."
Her voice held something I hadn’t heard in a while—hope.
She sounded like a barren woman who had spent years praying for a child, finally catching a glimpse of what might be possible.
We made our way into the massive building. Even inside, I was stunned. The walls and ceilings flowed with stars and galaxies, just like the outside. It felt like walking through space itself.
