‡I looked around to see if Mr. Sri was not around yet as I wanted the act to be perfect. I quickly put on a poker face and stared intently at the grave as Mr. Sri would be here any moment.12 minutes later, I heard the sound of footsteps and quickly adjusted my slacking posture. I tried to stand with a straight back, but that was only if my disguise weren't this old."Too much work these days?" my voice quite low and shaky and I was quite unsure for a moment. The footsteps halted and I couldn't help but smile as I knew I had him where I wanted, I turned around and saw a similar-looking man standing 10 meters away from me, all dressed in black with a round top hat and a flower in hand. His face was distorted as he saw the smug smile on my face and he looked..... Bereaved.I was amused for a moment and almost laughed out loud but I held it in forcefully to avoid blowing it up. I never could have pictured Mr. Sri with such an expression on his face."Who- who are you?" he aske
‡Submerged deep in the pool of darkness, my sense of sight was obstructed and my vision was blinded. I didn't even know what I was like, neither did I see myself nor own myself? My body was but only a puppet of the dark sea as the waves rowed me around, merrily. I knew I was alive because I still felt the pain from when I had died, slowly receding, and only curiosity kept me conscious and awake, where was I?Subtle waves I felt as I trembled upon its sedative touch that warped all reality around me. I lived through my past life, again and again and.....again, Nostalgia as I lived through every regret that I harbored and carried on deep within all through my entire existence, every step and every fall, all the struggles and pain, sequentially.Transitioned, I felt old for a moment then the next moment, I felt so little and as small as a child. I could feel the difference in every age. I felt cold, dry and wet at times, and couldn't bare the heat at other times, I guess these were the
◙In the ancient sacred texts, The divine God had created a certain object; A pen that writes on its own. This pen would make the entire existence in life, the cosmos, the universe, the planets and stars, it was recorded that the pen had written everything down, this pen was 'fate'. However, all that was written in entirety was in 'the book of destiny'. The ancient sacred texts had narrated this story that could as well be regarded as the basis of existence. Science had tried to uncover the truth about the world, the universe and the cosmos but, it didn't even know what Earth was, only a hypothetical theory that Earth, being the third planet from the sun had formed from the swirl of molecular gas and dust, forming a core which had been further theorized to be a particle of the sun, with a rocky mantle and Solid crust. More elements are being found on Earth, mostly underwater and most scientists had given up the will to find the true source and origin of the universe, which remains a
◊ "Join us" “Considering that I might not live to tell?” "It depends." *sigh* “...... It doesn't seem like I have a choice" "Mr. Sri.... please, look him up the details" "Welcome aboard kid!!" I had joined Dan and the world powerhouses in their villainous world annihilation motive as I had to figure out who my adversaries were after progressing with my newly awaken time warp prowess. I had tried to absorb the waves only to no avail, not until after several trials and failures, the space around me distorted and I traversed back a second in time. I could only do that much, and I knew it wasn't enough but I was stuck in between the lines. The darkness that covered my sight was unveiled and I squinted my eyes to avoid the sudden brightness. I could see two huge well-built mercenaries sitting beside me, with Mr. Sri in the front passenger seat of the vehicle as we drove through a creepy gate. We had arrived at the hideout. The huge building looked like a science factory of some so
۩I sat up on the bed with my knees held close to my chest as I shivered in fear, lost in my desperate thoughts as the Medical doctor wore a sneer on his face and stood observing the monitor, seemingly proud that he had successfully broken me. He soon left after taking notes and telling me that I would be discharged by the next day and to take a good rest until then. Really, what kind of treatment was this?I gave no regard to his words and continued to think. All my life, I had been running, tussling and tumbling in and out of trouble and misfortune. For a moment, I felt tired and I wanted to give into whatever was chasing me, but I was certain that I would end up in that space again if I did, and that only made me tremble in fear. I knew to cooperate, but who is to tell if I was just going to be used and not taken ‘care’ of the next moment, in fact, I am certain that was going to be the case. So there was no stopping, there was no rest for me, I rather keep running in thirst until I
۞“Roberta, I'm heading out" I needed to get a Vector device. You might want to ask why I didn't ask Roberta to make an order as that would be more ideal considering the era I live in. However, purchasing a Vector device requires physical Identity verification plus miscellaneous processes. You might also be wondering why I had told Roberta that I was heading out as she was a home AI device that had a sensory radar, Well... old habits. As they say, modern problems require modern solution, more or less for a desperate bachelor like myself.I boarded a train from Bargon city and it took only half of an hour to reach the closest Highlands city- Gevora. The city lies within the previous Europe continent which is now only part of the Highlands. My destination was the best technology company in the whole World;"Cloud wares" the branch company in Gevora specifically.I rented a Flobile since the company was quite far away from the train station. It wasn't an easy task to find a vacant Flobi
◊Clad in a deep blue Kent blazer, I removed my Fedora hat and raised my gaze towards the facility structures behind the tall walls. A part of the wall slid open automatically, and I took several anxious steps forward after verifying my ID in a HUD process, or I would risk facing military assault otherwise, as the facility's surroundings was a restricted area.'This is one of the SPAX Corp Inc.’s facilities?'I looked around in awe ignoring the stares and glares of everyone. I was directed to the training facility- Struct 4, by the AI system guiding the gate. The whole grounds was busy as people went to and fro in a rush. On my way towards Struct 4, walking along the pavement, I took a glance at the other structures and saw that it got bigger and bigger by numbers. Struct 1 stood the largest as it took almost enough space for a whole district. It had to be so and could only be, since it was one of the main experimental Structs of SPAX Corp Inc.The sun hid behind the clouds early in t
‡Darkness loomed all over the room as the moon peeked from behind the dark clouds. The soft breaths of both mine and hers, mixed with the silence in coherence, forming a sort of gentle rhythm.Serena, as she had briefly introduced herself in curtsy earlier, slept close to me in her late 20s birthday suit with a;"Master, this is the only comfortable way for me to sleep" excuse.My eyes were wide open, heart beat fast and my thoughts were in a mess as I could feel her warmth; including her plump and soft mushrooms' occasional massages as she changed positions underneath the covers. I was in a rigid state since she was irrefutably alluring to my 'senses'.*gulp*I gazed at her and saw that she was fast asleep. I gladly rearranged my state and closed my eyes to sleep as well.However, a hoarse voice resounded from nowhere, and I could only see its warm red reassuring eyes in my mind as it spoke to me in a whisper"This might be your only chance" my eyes shut open afterwards and I looked
