Chapter 22: The Hunt Begins – Eliminating the Lesser Nightcreatures
As I stepped out of the villa, the cold night air greeted me, wrapping around me like a silent promise of violence to come. I didn't bother looking back. Abigail? Not my concern anymore.

This time, I wasn't just crossing it. I was erasing the damn line.
The moment I left, I had already made my decision—I wouldn't be back for at least three days. And I wasn't going to explain myself to anyone. Not her. Not anyone.
As I walked into the empty streets, the system's familiar blue screen appeared before me. .
