I want to become a killer

The night bled into early morning, and the city was a battleground. The streets were filled with smoke, the distant crackle of gunfire, and the desperate cries of those caught in the madness. The government had failed to regain control, and the streets were now fully under our influence.

As I moved through the chaos, I could feel the pulse of the city beneath my feet. The rhythm of the revolution—brutal, raw, relentless—was taking shape, and every step I took felt like a victory. The weight of the moment settled on me like a cloak, pressing me forward. I had become what I had always known I would be: the catalyst, the leader who would reshape the world.

I passed through the ruins of shattered glass and overturned cars, the remnants of the violence that had already consumed the old order. Protesters were everywhere, their faces painted with rage and hope. Their eyes burned with the same intensity I had felt when I first realized what I had to do. They were ready to follow, ready to burn the old world down and build something new.

I approached the central hub of our operation—a large building taken over by Solomon's people. Inside, the planning room buzzed with activity. People were speaking in hushed tones, checking communications, ensuring that the media was doing its part. Every second counted now. We were moving quickly, ensuring that the government's hold on the city was slipping further and further away. The National Guard had been deployed, but they were disorganized, overrun by the chaos in the streets. Their leaders were unsure of how to react to the escalating violence. Meanwhile, our forces were already in position, using the confusion to gain key strategic points.

Solomon was waiting for me in the room. He stood near the map of the city, eyes fixed on the screens showing real-time updates of the situation. He turned as I entered, his face unreadable, but there was a flicker of something in his gaze—a mixture of satisfaction and anticipation.

"It's working," he said simply, as if that was all there was to say.

I nodded, feeling the weight of the moment settle deeper into my bones. The plan had worked flawlessly so far, but we weren't done yet. We couldn't afford to hesitate.

"We're close," Solomon continued. "The government's control is crumbling. The military is preparing to take action, but they're not coordinated. We can use that."

I turned toward the screens, watching the images of the streets outside unfold like a sickeningly beautiful tapestry. People were taking up arms now, not just protesting. The lines between riot and revolution were blurring, and I could see the shift—the moment when the people would no longer be followers but leaders of their own fate.

"It's time," I said. "We need to end this now, before they can regroup."

Solomon's expression hardened, his voice carrying the cold certainty I had come to expect. "We push forward. We isolate the remaining government leaders. We make them feel the pressure. We take everything."

I could feel the adrenaline coursing through me. The moment of reckoning had arrived. The city was on the edge, teetering between total collapse and a new beginning. And we were the ones who would decide which direction it would fall.

The next few hours would be crucial.

I left the planning room, stepping out into the heart of the revolution. The city had descended into a warzone. There were fires everywhere—burning barricades, cars, entire blocks of buildings engulfed in flames. The sound of distant explosions rattled through the air. I could taste the smoke, thick and acrid, filling my lungs as I moved through the streets.

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out to read the message. It was from Mara: The National Guard is preparing to enter the city center. We need to act now.

I didn't need to think. The military was on its way, but they didn't know what they were walking into. Solomon's people had already set up roadblocks, prepared to cut off their reinforcements and supply lines. And we had a weapon they didn't: control of the narrative. The media was already broadcasting images of the government's failures, stoking the flames of revolt. The longer they waited, the worse it would get for them.

We couldn't let the National Guard get their footing. We needed to move fast.

I made my way toward the central square, where the last remnants of the government were holed up. They were trying to rally support, trying to turn the tide, but it was already too late. The city was ours.

As I approached the square, I saw the first signs of military presence—armored vehicles moving slowly through the smoke-filled streets. The guards were tense, unsure of what was waiting for them. Their formation was scattered, vulnerable.

I pulled up the collar of my jacket, concealing my face once again. The time for speeches and grandeur was over. Now, it was about action.

I reached the intersection where the roadblocks had been set up, and that's when I saw it—one of our operatives, a man named Jarek, signaling me from across the street. He was positioned near the barricades, watching the approaching military forces. His eyes met mine, and without a word, he gave me the signal.

It was time.

We moved swiftly, pushing through the crowd, flanking the military. At the same time, Mara and her team infiltrated the communication towers, hijacking the military channels to send out false orders. The confusion was instant. The National Guard units began to fragment, their commands no longer clear. Some of the soldiers hesitated. Some ran. Others turned on each other, not knowing who to trust.

This was it—the moment we had been preparing for.

I stepped into the heart of the chaos, making my way to the makeshift command center set up in a building overlooking the square. The remaining government officials were holed up there, and it was time for them to face the consequences of their incompetence.

The air in the building was thick with the stench of fear. I could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on me. When I entered the room, the government officials froze. Their eyes widened as they recognized me—the face that had emerged from the shadows, the one who would destroy everything they had built.

I smiled.

And in that smile, they knew: it was over.
