2024-10-29 19:42:56Sirens and panic permeated the district of Barnet in London as it had been several hundreds of years since this city experienced anything remotely close to a blackout.
"H-HELP!! M-MY HEART!!"
"W-WHAT IS GOING ON!?"
"EMP?!"
"I CAN'T BREATHE, I CAN'T BREATHE!!!"
"S-SOMEONE, HELP! UGH!!"
"SHUT UP AND GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU GOT!"
*BOOOOOMMM!!*
Dozens of flying vehicles plopped from the skies, having the people that rode on them get panicked as everything simply stopped working, this is without a doubt a terrorist attack.
...
As chaos reigned over the lands, the individual that caused all this floated peacefully amidst the beautiful darkness that was only bright due to a moon in the skies, a moon that if one noticed closely, seemed to not be shining as much as it should.
Morpheus floated and glanced at the distance and could see that his magic hadn't extended that far.
His short auburn hair fluttered with the wind together with his six elemental wings.
'Only six remain... and that single darkness spell took a lot from me my divinity core is very weak, I shouldn't be able to use more than three 1st Tier spells for a while.'
He doesn't know why his father would take away a gigantic portion of his divinity, possibly to make life more 'interesting'... as with his entire power everything would have been too easy.
It had been so long since he felt this weak.
...
"He sent me here to save this world?"
As he floated through the chaotic city, all the events happening within seemed to be oblivious to him.
This world is finished, he can feel its vitality swinging by a delicate string, ready to be gone for eternity forsaking the headstrong humans that turned it into this wasteland, the atmosphere's air couldn't be any worse, dirty.
...
Releasing a sigh, he floated away, thinking about what he would do next, possibly get more information about this world.
Due to the existence of magic, his previous world was one that lacked technology or any kind of deep scientific evolution.
The technology and elements in front of him were so foreign that it couldn't help but trigger his curiosity about how they worked, these lights, announcements, flying vehicles... even the people that ran in panic, most of them had limbs that weren't flesh, it looked like metal.
'I will just walk for now and try to see what this world has to offer, the key is to know what's causing the planet's death.'

The blackout lasted for half an hour, half an hour in which anarchy took over the district of Barnet.
"Public authorities have determined that the cause of the recent terrorist attack that took place in the district of Barnet, was nothing more than an EMP deployed by the infamous terrorist group V2, the authorities are working hard on finding traces that could lead to any potential guess of the location of their headquarters, stay tuned to the news... this is Carol in BBC News."
"..." As he looked at this 'screen' with wonder, he saw how an individual, clearly not human as her factions didn't look humanistic... talked with more perfection and asymmetry than a human did.
This 'Carol' is not a person, it's some kind of talking metal... one of which he has seen several already.
Several days passed by and he stood in the middle of the dirt road, this time, the sun shone upon them, sometimes darkening all of the sudden even when there were no clouds in the sky as if something was in the way, covering the delightful light of the sun that he basked on, the most natural thing in this world.
"Sir, would you like to buy a new clock? It's a Rolex!"
"..."
He got interrupted when a voice addressed him, he moved his gaze away from the screen and looked at the two boys that had shiny neon pink hair and shiny glasses.
The two boys also glared at him with bewilderment.
His clothes and even his entire appearance were foreign.
"Are you a cosplayer or something, brother?"
"... Excuse me?"
"Anyway, we have a Rolex, I'll give it to ya for half of the price! ten quid alright!?"
"Rolex?" Morpheus didn't understand, he glared at the 'device' that was being shown to him, fair enough, he knows what a clock is, but this looked different... it has numbers instead of needles.
"Yes, come here to the alleyway, we can do the trade... in there..." Seeing how this person seemed to be confused, one of the guys gave a discreet glance to the other who nodded briefly before showing Morpheus a toothy smile.
"..." He furrowed his brows, noticing this brief exchange.
"Come come, it's a good deal!" They walked to the dark alleyway and he followed, ready to see what they 'had'.
**
**
"Terrorist attack... by V2..."
'Yes, we were accused of no reason, I have already analysed the attack, it's weird... the traces of energy don't look as if it was an EMP... it might have been an independent attack.'
"Could it have been a failure in the systems, a Y2K of sorts?"
'Impossible, such protocols have already been erased from all software since two generations ago and there hasn't been such a failure ever... I can 'see' the traces of nanobots within the charges get erased all of the sudden... this is unlike anything I have sensed before. As expected, we were blamed.'
"I don't have control over the authorities' announcements..."
'I know...'
"What is the next target?"
'There is a cargo coming through Walthamstow, all the way from Birmingham... it should have a hundred kilos of ecstasy, it's a deal that was done through officer Richardson, there won't be any police hijacking it.'
"I'll be back to my spot."
"Take care..."
'Null won't get involved this time as the treaty with the officer is up, I have assembled a team, Hana... you're going in three hours.'
"Understood."
...
The silver-haired beauty whose hair reached her shoulders stopped paying attention to the voices within her mind as her purple eyes focused on the robot standing to the front once again...
"Charge the web package of economy classes, students."
"Yes, Mr Hans."
The students moved their fingers through their interfaces and loaded the 'classes'... the knowledge had already been imparted inside their brains, only the practice is needed.
"Do you have the package, Hana?" A voice resounded beside her, a little panicked, it's her friend, Lucy... one of the lots she has, the 'friends' that hang out with her often.
"Y-Yes... do you need it, Lucy?" She answered, not surprised that the redhead had forgotten her web packages.
"Please! I erased it... by mistake... and the interface to d******d it is already closed, pretty please..."
*Sigh*
She accepted and sent the package through, it's not that it costs a lot of effort.
"You're the best! when is your next concert? I will go with Brice!" He really likes your singles, the redhead smiled and immediately started to prepare her web package for the class.
"Next Saturday..." Hana turned around nonchalantly, she would be able to enjoy herself at that time, far away from her erratic life.

"Do you have anywhere to sleep, Morpheous? Where have you been sleeping all this time?" With the god eating the last of his dish, she prepared to take the stall back to her house."Hmn, you don't need to worry, Rachel, I'll sleep on top of some building or anything." In truth he wouldn't even sleep, he could if he wanted, but he didn't need to."How can that be acceptable!? Come to my house, I have a room available!" If he had all that money surely he can go and pay for a hotel room... but... if he does that she won't be able to watch out for him..."But..." If she's so insistent, he won't be able to reject... his next objective is just to try and analyse those chips."No buts! you're coming with me, come on, I can't allow you to sleep in the streets... don't worry, only I and my granddaughter live in the house, come come, help me take the stall...

Rachel woke up the next day after having slept soundly, within her mind were not the thoughts of what happened yesterday, just that it had been a long time since she slept this nicely.Her chipset re-started and she opened her interface to look at the amount of digital cash she had, together with what she had in cash, would be enough to cover the expenses thanks to Morpheus.She didn't forget to give a single prayer of thanks before tidying up and departing her room.****What she found at the other side of her room, wasn't so surprising.For one she saw Sarah sitting on the couch with her legs crossed and two swollen cheeks, the thing is... they looked recent.And humming in the kitchen with an apron was Morpheus, cooking something, and what he's cooking smells incredibly nice."Good Morning, Rachel... excuse my modesty for using

I'll work just half of the day today as I have some things to do outside, then you can come with me and see the place, I will guide you!" She requested him as they prepared her stall, she really likes his company moreover... those guys... they should be coming today to take the 'fee' nothing has happened so far, but she'd rather have him close.The Magic God considered her words, he truly has nothing else to do aside from just studying that chip, apparently, everything in this world can be accessed through the 'internet' but in order to access the internet, one must have a chip and therefore, he can't extract information out of there unless it's relayed by someone else.He refused to get his body dirty with any of those things."Okay, I'll accompany you, how about this? we can cook together..."

Both grandmother and granddaughter hugged one another while Morpheus and Hana stood on the side, regarding the warm reunion. They knew that Rachel has seen the new restaurant and wanted to know what she thinks about it."I am... my day was wonderful, what about yours? how was your day." The one tasked to question that was Sarah, she smiled and awaited her grandmother's response."It was... amazing! There is so much I want to say... come and sit, Null and I prepared your dishes." She beaconed for the entire group to enter the kitchen and sit.Morpheus nodded and came in together with the girls, heading straight for the kitchen where Null was with an apron, cooking... said android turned around, a little surprised when he took her by the waist."Null..."

Fun in the Bentley
The bells resonated across the campus, signifying the end of yet another day of studies, Hana walked peacefully, her friend had already departed on her own; leaving her to wander the halls of the campus by herself, moving to the front where a self-driving vehicle awaited with dark windshields.A majestic Bentley."Did your girl also say that she'd go with Bryce?" Hana entered the Bentley parked at the campus entrance, Sarah was inside having arrived earlier."She did... but Bryce said he's busy" The two of them gave each other a small kiss on the cheeks and Hana slumped on the passenger seat releasing a sigh."When are we going to tell them?" Sarah asked with crossed arms, it's obvious that bastard Bryce is playing around with their friends."I don't know... do we have the right to tell them? we're doing the same." Hana placed her bag on her delicate tights, the two of them had played it nice this time, a competition of sorts.Prior, Sarah had taken the passenger seat while Hana sat i

Love Doesn't Need Qualifications
After telling Sarah that he'd head there to pick them up, Morpheus hung up the call on his phone, quite the useful artefact he believed it to be.On the other side of the city was Sarah, sitting on the rooftop with a heavy blush.Now the connection is cut down for real, signalling the unimpeded eruption."KYAAAA!!" Like a stupid little girl, Sarah swayed back and forth, unable to contain her happiness.'I have the best boyfriend ever!'But then she slumped slightly, 'But I have to share him...'Sighing she remained on the rooftop for a while before preparing to make her way back, but when she opened the door to go downstairs, she found a gruesome vision."Sarah."A voice said softly, a tall boy appeared in front of her, marred with tattoos and a hooligan appearance."...?"She heard a voice just as she was preparing to make her way back to the classroom, a man crept from the stairs, impeding her way forward.The girl regarded a boy... too known to her that it even produced disgust, so

She answered, not paying attention but giggling still, one could tell she was happy."You have a boyfriend!? what about Ashton!?""Secret, and he's not the 'new' boyfriend... he's the love of my life also... fuck Ashton."She answered again, giggling stupidly unaware that she just said the 'secret', not paying attention to the growling fool to the other side of the room."A-And you came out with the school belle as well!?"

Granny's Gratitude
"Oh my dear, t-this place is..." Rachel gasped, looking around after Null took her hands out of her eyes, brightening up the previous darkness that isolated her eyes from seeing the 'marvellous surprise'. It was a shop for sale, one where her store is going to be next, no longer having to move that stall all over, now she can come here early in the morning, and everything will be prepared for her. "This is for you Rachel, actually... we're going to refurbish the house as well." Null smiled, feeling slightly content at the granny's reaction to everything around, the shop was clean, with glass screens and modern flooring, completely different to her humble stall, it was elegant, and obviously, this wouldn't be its last state. Rachel was simply delighted that she had such a shop, a ten-metre square front shop of the same size in the back a kitchen with all the equipment.

Blitzkrieg's Exclusive Agent II
"You seem to be a little surprised, <Sigularity>" Marianne held her fluttering hair, the gales of wind didn't give her a rest; beneath them were the clouds, and the concealed reactor together with an endless expanse of fields and underground facilities, what used to be myriad green colours had turned into a mechanical mess that consumed this planet."..." Morpheus regarded her in her battle pose, wondering what she intends... he has already expected several motherships to be rounding him as they speak, but that doesn't seem to be the case; before he was limited due to his lack of mana, but now... if they wanted to take him down they needed at least a quarter of this planet's weaponry, let alone just her body."Is it because I managed to discover you?" Regarding his awkward silence, Marianne started to float around, analysing his entire profile up and down again and again as if learning his every contour."How did y

V2 explained along the way, intending to unravel his intentions but also, render support to his fruitful endeavour."I just want to know where they are, when the time comes... no further time shall be wasted." Right now there are too many things in his mind that he believed wouldn't enter his line of thought for a long time; romance... such a void feeling, yet those girls had carved their way in.'I can't allow such things to distract me.'"You said

The Rules
A short journey afterwards, the Bently arrived in front of the pair's high school in central London; a radian academy brimming with school life; couples and of course, neons.Morpheus visually flinched at the sight of that many lights, turns out Sarah's jaws had been some kind of trending as there were several girls and boys using them; thankfully, his Sarah had already moved through that phase.Several of the students marvelled at the sudden entrance of a pricy vehicle, but the two of them didn't exit straight away or head into class looking for their friends.It's Morpheus' first time seeing the campus, so they decided to stay a little longer; moreover, for once they're not late or anything of the sort, so it's not an issue."We're here."
