" Sif, Sif, Sif... you know we will find you eventually. There’s no place you can hide."

Sif wakes up from the nightmare he usually has at least once a month. Remembering where he is, he realizes yesterday’s events weren’t just a weird dream. He gets up to look around the room and finds some clothes—a white shirt and pants. He quickly dresses, then remembers the system.

"Oh gosh, what was its name again? Omiga?"

"It’s Ogma, sir. I was named after the Irish god of knowledge," the system responds.

"Oh, that’s cool. So, what can you tell me about this place?"

"This is one of the many labs and facilities for NighTech Innovations."

"That name sounds familiar... hmm."

"System, that's not possible? NighTech Innovations was created in 2056 after your accident."

"Hmm, but I swear..."

Suddenly, the door to Sif’s room opens. He quickly steps out and sees a lot of people, all relatively the same age as him, wearing the same clothes, marching in the same direction. Sif follows them through a hallway, then to some sort of yard, and finally into a large room—a cafeteria. There are around 300 people there, most of them eating.

Sif quickly grabs a plate, and some sort of machine serves him a slimy substance and a cup of water. Sif is surprised. Is he really expected to eat this? It looks like someone shit on his plate. For a futuristic world, their food sucks, Sif thinks to himself. He looks around and finds an empty table. Sif sits down and tries to eat, but something catches his eye. It’s awfully quiet—not even the sound of plates or chewing. Then, after 10 minutes, a voice starts speaking from a speaker:

"All new arrivals, report to the training hall."

Sif stood up from the table, his heart pounding as he followed the stream of people out of the cafeteria. The announcement about the training hall echoed in his mind. He had no idea where he was headed, but he couldn’t afford to stand out by asking questions. He decided to blend in and observe.

As they walked down the cold, sterile corridors, Sif couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. The people around him moved like automatons, their faces blank, their movements mechanical. Something was very wrong here, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

Finally, they arrived at the training hall, a massive space filled with high-tech equipment and advanced weaponry. Rows of monitors displayed various combat scenarios, and the walls were lined with weapons that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie.

The same doctor who had greeted Sif earlier was standing at the front of the room, waiting for them. His expression was unreadable, but there was something sinister about the way he watched them all file in.

“Welcome,” the doctor said, his voice smooth but with an edge that sent a chill down Sif’s spine. “You are the future of our world. Each of you has been chosen for your unique potential, and today marks the beginning of your new life as protectors of the Liberty Republic.”

Sif’s mind raced. Protectors? What was this man talking about?

he doctor continued, “You have all undergone extensive genetic modifications, making you stronger, faster, and more resilient than any normal human. You are now part of an elite group—the future soldiers who will defend our society against the dangers that threaten it.”

sif felt a knot form in his stomach. Genetic modifications? Future soldiers? This was not what he had signed up for.

The doctor gestured towards a series of machines on the far side of the room. “These will be your first test. Step forward and let’s see what you’re capable of.”

One by one, the others stepped forward and were hooked up to the machines. sif watched as they displayed incredible feats of strength, speed, and endurance. It was clear that whatever the doctor had done to them, it had worked. They were no longer normal humans—they were weapons.

When it was sif’s turn, he hesitated. The doctor noticed and gave him a knowing smile. “Don’t be afraid, sif. This is what you were born for.”

Reluctantly, sif stepped up to the machine. As soon as he was connected, a surge of energy coursed through his body. He felt his muscles tighten, his senses sharpen, and his mind clear. For a moment, he felt invincible.

But as the test progressed, a deep sense of dread began to settle in. He could feel the power within him, but it was not under his control. The machine pushed him harder and harder, until he felt like he was going to break. When it finally stopped, sif collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

The doctor was at his side in an instant, helping him to his feet. “Impressive, sif. You’re stronger than I expected.”

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

sif looked at the doctor, seeing him in a new light. This man wasn’t helping him—he was using him. But sif knew he had no choice but to play along, at least for now.

Over the next three years, sif was trained relentlessly. The doctor and his team pushed him to his limits, turning him into a highly efficient soldier. The training was relentless, the missions brutal. But the worst part wasn’t the physical toll—it was the loss of control.

Ogma, the system been fully installed in his mind, took over completely. Sif’s body was no longer his own; it moved with precision and purpose, executing every command with ruthless efficiency. His thoughts were suppressed, his will overridden. Ogma controlled him like a puppet, turning him into a weapon of unparalleled accuracy.

His ability—an extraordinary aim—made him a deadly force on the battlefield. No target was too far, no shot too difficult. Whether it was eliminating high-profile human targets or taking down hordes of the undead, Sif never missed. But each pull of the trigger weighed heavy on his soul, as he watched himself kill without mercy, powerless to stop the carnage.

The missions were varied but always lethal. Black ops in enemy territories, covert assassinations, sabotage operations—Sif was sent wherever NighTech needed a ghost, someone who could strike without leaving a trace. His reputation among his handlers grew, but inside, Sif was slowly unraveling. He was a prisoner in his own body, forced to commit atrocities he could not prevent.

By the end of his third year, Sif had become a living legend within the corporation—a soldier who could single-handedly turn the tide of any battle. Yet, he remained haunted by the faces of those he had killed, by the lives he had destroyed, all under Ogma’s unyielding control.

Then came the mission that would change everything.

Sif was sent deep into enemy territory, a region controlled by the Syndicate, a powerful and secretive organization that had managed to survive the chaos of the post-apocalyptic world. His orders were clear: infiltrate their stronghold, gather intelligence, and eliminate their leaders.

As usual, Ogma took over, and Sif’s body moved with deadly precision. But something went wrong. The Syndicate had anticipated his arrival. They had prepared for him.

Before he knew it, Sif was surrounded by Syndicate operatives. They moved quickly, disabling his weapons and overwhelming him with sheer numbers. For the first time in years, Ogma hesitated. The system faltered, unable to process the unexpected turn of events.

The Syndicate captured Sif, and for the first time in three years, he felt the grip of Ogma loosen. His mind, foggy and confused, began to resurface. The operatives dragged him into a dimly lit chamber, where their leader awaited.The dimly lit chamber was cold and sterile, with harsh lights casting eerie shadows on the walls. Sif was chained to a chair in the center of the room, his hands and feet bound tightly. The Syndicate operatives, their faces concealed by masks, stood guard around him. Sif’s breaths were ragged, his heart pounding as the last vestiges of Ogma's control began to fade.

A figure emerged from the shadows, the Syndicate leader. The leader wore a dark hooded cloak, and his face was obscured by a mask that concealed all but his piercing eyes. He moved with a grace that suggested he was accustomed to power and authority.

“So, you’re the infamous Sif,” the leader said, his voice smooth and resonant. He stepped closer, his eyes narrowing as he studied Sif. “I must say, you’ve caused quite a stir.”

Sif struggled against his restraints, trying to focus on the figure before him. “Who are you? What do you want from me?”

The leader chuckled softly. “You don’t recognize me? How quaint. You see, I know you, Sif. In fact, I knew the real Sif quite well. But that’s a story for another time.”

Sif’s heart skipped a beat. The real Sif? The implications of that statement were overwhelming. Before he could process it further, the leader continued.

“Here’s the deal. You’re going to become our double agent. We need you to infiltrate NighTech Innovations and steal a weapon for us—a weapon that could shift the balance of this war.”

Sif’s mind raced. A weapon? Why would the Syndicate need such a weapon? And why was he being chosen for this task?

“What weapon?” Sif asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

The leader’s eyes gleamed with an unsettling intensity. “I’m afraid I can’t disclose the specifics just yet. But rest assured, it’s something of great importance.”

Sif’s thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion and anger. The Syndicate wanted him to betray his own people, but there was something more pressing that the leader had yet to reveal.

“Why should I trust you?” Sif demanded. “And why should I do this?”

The leader leaned closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. “Because, Sif, you’re not the man you think you are. The real Sif died in that car crash. You’re a clone, created and manipulated by NighTech. Everything you’ve done—the training, the missions—it’s all been orchestrated. You’re not just a soldier; you’re a puppet.”

The shock of the revelation hit Sif like a physical blow. He stared at the leader, struggling to comprehend the enormity of what he’d just heard. He wasn’t real. His entire life, his entire identity—nothing but a fabrication. The pain and betrayal surged through him, mixing with a deep, burning rage.

“You’re lying,” Sif spat. “This is some twisted game you’re playing.”

The leader’s gaze was unflinching. “I assure you, it’s the truth. You’re a product of NighTech’s experiments, and now you have a choice: continue to be their weapon or help us bring them down from within. You have the opportunity to rewrite your own destiny.”

The words were like a bitter poison in Sif’s mind. He had been a mere tool, a puppet dancing on strings controlled by forces beyond his understanding. But now, with the truth laid bare, he felt a surge of defiance.

“I’ll do it,” Sif said, his voice cold and resolute. “I’ll be your double agent. But know this—I will find out the truth about my past and my existence. I will make NighTech pay for what they’ve done to me.”

The leader nodded approvingly. “Good. We’ll provide you with the details of your first mission soon. For now, rest and prepare. You have a new purpose.”

As the leader and the operatives left the chamber, Sif was left alone with his thoughts. The anger and determination burned within him, mingling with a profound sense of betrayal. He was a clone, a creation of the very organization he had been fighting for. But now, he had a chance to turn the tables, to reclaim his identity, and to fight for a cause that was truly his own.

Sif’s eyes hardened with resolve. He would use his new role to infiltrate NighTech, uncover the truth about his existence, and strike back against the forces that had manipulated him. The road ahead would be perilous, but he was determined to see it through to the end.

As he prepared for the challenges to come, one thought echoed in his mind: vengeance would be his path to redemption.
