Ring*

"Ah, That was super fun", Aren said as she walked alongside Zene Lach who spent the whole day inside infirmary.

Vroom*

A really neat car approached them both as they passed by the gates.

Vroom Vroom*

The car revved up as the tires produced smoke.

"What an attention seeker you are", Zene said.

Aren looked through the smog and shouted out loud.

"That's a Surpa MK-4!"

She dashed forward to take a peek of this grey car in front of her.

"Do you like it?", Sang Cheol said as he came out of the car.

"Yeah, It's pretty famous you know", Aren replied.

"Wanna have a ride?"

"Um, Sure"

"What about me?", Zene questioned.

"You can walk", Sang Cheol said with dead eyes.

"Get in", He added.

Vroom Vroom*

"So, you are new to Korea right?"

"Yes"

"Why did you come to Daegu, when you could have studied in Seoul?"

"Ah that, I didn't choose the school and it's really complicated"

"Hmm, It's 6 pm and this isn't the right time to show you the view"

"What view?"

Sang Cheol ignored her question and continued.

"Wanna go to a nearby park for the mean time?"

"I am down", She said.

6:05 pm

"Ladies and Gentlemen I am Sung-Jin and today we have a special guest coming up as a suprise"

How are you doing Sung-Jin?

A bystander questioned.

"I am great, thank you"

Sung-Jin you look handsome today.

"Thank you"

"Ok, Getting back to the script"

Sung-Jin said as he got on top of a platform and announced to all the people sitting in the park to come closer.

6:25 pm

"Hey, Sang Cheol is there some sort of event happening here?

"Seems so"

"Everyone Gather up, today we will be doing everybody sings well"

"Let's check that out", Aren said excitedly.

"Alright, So anyone wants to volunteer first?"

A girl in school uniform came and rolled the disc.

"Wow, this looks cool", Aren said.

Suddenly a foreigner came on to the stage to sing.

Everybody looked at him as his voice filled the vicinity.

Wow he has a great voice.

Oh my! That's high!

All the bystander fell in love with the voice of this stranger.

"That's Wenson Bone right?", Aren questioned.

"You know him?", Sang Cheol questioned.

"Yeah I saw him in some singing show"

"He rejected them cause he simply wanted to know his own worth in singing"

"Damn, that's some great character right there", Sang Cheol replied.

"Hey look at that red shirt", Sang Cheol pointed out.

"That's taker", he added.

"Whose taker?"

"You don't know taker?"

"Is he some great personality?"

Sang Cheol looked in silence.

"You have a lot to catch up, Yi So Yeon".

7:00 PM

"Let's go, If we leave now we can observe the lights in the tower"

"Ok"

7:30 PM

"This is the Daegu Tower"

"Wow! It is really pretty"

"Right?"

Ahhh

It's a pervert!

Aren and Sang Cheol turned around to look at guy who wore no pants or undergarments except a shirt on.

The guy ran through the crowd as he covered his face with an orange air 6th gen.

"What a day to be alive", Sang Cheol said.

"12 inches?!", Aren exclaimed.

"What?"

"That's 12 inches"

"Yeah, like 12 inches exists", Sang Cheol brushed the comment off.

Aren looked at him blankly.

"Wait, for real?!", Sang Cheol exclaimed.

"Wow!"

"I must ask what supplements he takes to get it to that size", Sang Cheol added.

Pfft

Aren and Sang Cheol's eyes met as they giggled.

"Shall we leave?", Aren said.

"Bored?"

"No, Just wanna try something out", Aren replied.

"Give me the keys, I'll drive", Yi So Yeon added.

"Hmm? You know how to drive", Sang Cheol questioned.

Smug face*

"Get in the car senorita!", Aren yelled.

...

"Hello 911"

(This is 911, What is your emergency?)

"I hear gun shots!"

(Okay ma'am tell us what kind of shots did you hear?)

"Huff Huff, Ratatatata!"

(This is Daegu traffic police, we have a suspect whose is speeding through the lanes)

(Suspect is currently inside a grey Surpa)

(Over*)

Seoul

7:30 pm

Police siren echoes across the street.

Inside the korean headquarters of The Triad:

"Boss, The matrix  have sent a man named Lalo"

"Who?"

"The matrix, boss"

"Not them, tell me the name of the man"

"Oh, I think he was called Palo"

"Why? Why him?!"

The wide middle aged man in a fine blue blazer smashed the glasswork as he became furious over the news.

"Do you wish for us to take him down boss?"

"He is not someone the likes of you could take down if you just wished for it"

"Who is he?"

"Let's just say he is the Zene Lach of Mexico"

"Wait? Boss, You mean the guy is at a similar level to the god of blackfield who died in a car accident because you tampered with his car's breaks 15 years ago?"

"..."

The right hand man of this mafia boss was shocked to hear this news of such a formidable enemy to come into the lands of Korea after such a long time.

"What do we do boss?"

"We wait and also make sure those traffickers halt their buisness for a while"

"I am on it boss!"

***

Daegu

8:00 pm

"This is CVN news live broadcast"

"We have a car chase going on in the southern streets of Deagu"

"I am Chris and this is Micheal, We are live on CVN news so stay tuned for the live update "

Sirens*

Vroom*

"It appears to be a Surpa MK-4 that is being chased down in the busy streets of Deagu"

"Micheal, the driver is rather aggressively turning the car in the wrong way to push away the chasing cops"

"Alright, The Surpa MK-4 is showing no signs of slowing down!"

"The cops are closing the distance as the opposite side of the road should be probably blocked entirely by now"

"Yes Chris, This chase is soon to end with the Surpa ready to take its Big L anytime now"

Screech*

"The car has turned 180° now which has put it in a circular motion and that car is simply out of control!"

Vroom Vroom*

"Through the white smog created by the burning tires goes the Surpa! It simply cut through the cops, it cut through the helicopter now that's not gonna be found anytime soon"

"What a chase Chris!"

"Over to Angelina! The chase is now finally over"

"Alright, I guess that ends the chase there, Just like how the career of those two riding the helicopter is going to end"

"Stay tuned for more information only on CVN live "

Seoul

9:00 pm

Flight lands*

(In this world we have those who gather the materials, that is the common man)

(And there are those who hunt, They hunt the kings among the gatherers.)

(These predators are well feared by their prey that they rather avoid making eye contact with them to avoid being killed for fun)

"Korea, smells Tasty!", Palo mumbled.

    "Boss, Who is this man called Palo?", A grunt questioned the mafia lord of Korean unit of Triad "Palo, that man is quite famous", "One of the finest and ruthless criminals out there in Mexico" "He is not someone who would work under anyone, usually" The grunt stared at him as he tried to remember if he had heard of this man in his work days in the military. "The only person that can ask this man for a favor is the Ruler of the Matrix", the boss added. "The same man who I used to work for" "Boss, then how do we deal with him?" The man in the blue suit turned around to look at his clueless subordinate. "If he was someone the likes of you could handle we wouldn't be discussing this matter in the first place" "I am sorry boss", the grunt backed off due to the sudden change of atmosphere in the room because of the mafia lord's statement.

    (Back when Zene Lach worked under the government and was allowed to be a private bodyguard of Natsuki Mikoyama.) It was raining heavily as the smoke from the factories turned the sky grey. We still didn't have the regulations put in place for the industrial pollution in Serbia yet. "This is Alpha speaking, target is safe with no visible threat", Zene said as he looked after Natsuk Mikoyama who was currently working on a scientific experiment. "All units are on standby, unit 1 will exchange positions with unit 4" "Zene, have a cup of coffee", Natsuki said as he came back in dirty lab clothes due to the grease from machinery staining his lab appron.

Natsuki your daughter is so unlike you and I have no way of figuring out, how to make this child a friend of mine. Zene kept on scratching his head as he had run out of ideas. He looked at the overflowing water from his cup due to the lack of his awareness and retracted it back from the running water of the water filter."Damn it! I never even had a good relationship with my sister back in my first life in the first place and now that I am born as an orphan here, how do I possibly get close to her in order to fulfill my purpose?!", Zene said out loud as the voice resonated across the silent hallway. Zene approached Aren who was sitting on her gaming chair as she was having a conversation with another guy beside her. "Seul-bi is so fine today", the guy beside Aren spoke as he looked at the young female employee of the

    16 Years ago "Zene don't you think it's unfair?", Natsuki said as he looked outside while his mind was filled with the thoughts regarding the news related to mafia related crimes. "You mean the human trafficking that occurs here" "Yes" Natsuki said as he threw the paper on the table in frustration. Zene looked at the headlines as emerging mafia groups had been doing all sorts of filthy work to get a spot in the underworld. "It's always the new groups that do this stuff" "All of that just for a chance to sit on a false throne", Natsuki replied. "Yes, that's what we call power Natsuki" "Foolish, Power...Back then this very exact power I had made me choose 5 individuals and I sacrificed thousands in a war", Mikoyama told while he grumbled. "I have always been this way, creating weapons of destruction in a hope to protect my loved ones but end up harming them because of these very weapons I created for their sake" "Was it really a good end just because the apparent good won?",

"Today, you will meet your new master" "One of you shall be lucky enough to embark on a journey with this man right here, one of you shall be lucky enough to learn the ways of his martial arts", the major added."His name is Master Tai Jin" The dusty wind flew across the riverbank as the children in the camp were forced to close their eyes shut. But amongst them there was one child who looked unfazed as he glared at the tall master who had a long black hair while his sister covered herself in fear behind her little brother. The master glanced at the young boy who was different compared to the rest. And this child's fierce presence put a gentle smile on the master's face. Tai Jin was a man who was once filled with greed, a man so selfish and ruthless that he did everything to attain the perfection that he was so aspiring of.A man who had attained such mastery was now willing to have a suc

    "Zene, Show me your room", Aren asked bluntly. Zene looked back at her and examined her as he squinted his eyes to see if he could find something suspicious. "What? You came to my room it's only fair for me to check yours!", Aren stated. "I was just staring, women" "Calm down", he added. "Hmm, where are my keys again?", Zene said as he started searching his pockets. Zene leaned forward coming really close to Aren's face as he tickled her ears slightly to pull out keys from her ears. "Those tricks are the ones that surprised me back in my childhood, now it is simply useless against me", Aren stated. "Hmm, So you do remember a part of your childhood", Zene said as he started unlocking the door. "That's good to know that you did not forget everything", Zene added. "Hey, did you know me before?", Aren inquired as her eyes darkened. "Hmm, Yeah back when you threw me on the ground on your first day of school", Zene mocked.

    "I created you, Zene", Trotsky replied. "You and Aliyonah both were my creations that I brought up in a lab" "While I never gave her any memories after her creation but the same I couldn't have possibly applied on you" "I needed you to have those memories, I needed you to be ready when the time came" "I threw the both of you in that military camp, because it was what I was supposed to do" Zene looked at him while his eyes narrowed down. "Those memories of yours, all of them were a lie" "A fabricated story" Zene fell on the cold snow, his body started trembling while he couldn't reason with the storm of emotions that ran inside of him.

    Huff Puff Agent opened his eyes only for him to look at a surreal landscape. Volcanoes erupted from the ground, craters that spanned kilometers wide. Oceans that soared hundred feet high and the world that we once knew was in a state of apocalypse. Creatures that defied science, the world turned closer to fantasy than reality. His skin started sweating while the heat suffocated him. He looked around to find a giant monster stand in front of him, a being with one eye, it's span crossing hundred meters wide and standing as tall as an empire state building. He looked at the monster as it now faced him. With a single breath of that monster his body dissipated to thin dust. Huff Puff Agent woke up as he layed on the snow. He looked around as his hazy vision turned clear. There he was Vladamir Trotsky standing in front of him while Lisa herself was knocked unconscious. Agent layed on the ground with no strength left in his body to get up. "What was that thing tha

    As soon as we arrived at the church we saw a couple kissing each other. And that's when I first saw Natsuki cry. "That's Clara", he murmured. "Who, I can't see any girl nearby", Mokshith squinted for better view. "Is she the one that kissed that guy" "Yeah", Natsuki looked gloomy while tears trickled down from his eyes. "I did everything I could man" Natsuki glared at the couple unaware of his presence. "And some random guy comes in and takes her away with little to no effort" His veins popped as he glared at them with his teeth gritting against one another.

Natsuki paused momentarily as he tried to sense something within him. His concentration was all diverted towards his torso in an attempt to sense this feeling or presence of the fragments. As he explored through the darkness, Natsuki witnessed two flame orbs revolving around one another. "Do you see it, Natsuki?" "I can see flames and that's about i
