"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... I won't accept a no for an answer!" She took the stall and took one of his hands.
'I already know your weakness boy... you can't stop yourself from helping people!' She giggled inwardly, believing she just found a gem.
That's right, he's just an extremely good person... how can she let such a person roam free in this corrupted god-forsaken world!
Well, she isn't wrong, but what she doesn't know is that Morpheus is not stupid, he knows who to help and who not to.
In the end, just as she expected, he helped her, in fact, he moved the stall himself leaving her a little bewildered as that thing is not light at all... and he doesn't have any enhancements.
'Right... he doesn't have a chip, that means he doesn't have any enhancements...'
Such individuals are one in a million.

When they reached her house, as expected it was humble... but not small, just compared to the other houses it lacked the 'modernism'.
"I inherited this house from my family, it is a lot cheaper to maintain..." She said offhandedly and he simply nodded, unaware of how housing laws work in this world.
They left her stall locked in the entrance and when Morpheus was about to squeeze himself out of there, she grasped his hand.
"Where do you think you're going...?" The granny glared at the youngster who could only sigh.
"... Sit down in there, leave your shoes in the entrance... I'll prepare some tea... you... you're not hungry are you...?"
After eating five of her meals, if he's still hungry she will be beyond shocked.
"No... not at all..." In truth, the food only decomposed itself inside of him and transformed in energy... so no matter how much he ate he could never be filled, but it would replenish his divinity core a little, just a little.
She hummed lightly while he sat on the main couch.
For several minutes there was peace.
*BAAANGG!!*
"I'm back!"
"..." His eyes that had been closed, opened at that moment to regard the person that just walked... no, burst through the door.
It was a girl, a young woman.
She dressed in what looked to be a shiny pink school uniform that wasn't anywhere near tidy, wearing pantysocks and shining sneakers.
Her shirt struggled to hold the big chest that she had behind in there and what surprised him the most were the jaws...
Yes, she seemed to have something that resembled shiny red jaws on her mouth, her long raven hair was covered with a hoody that had two cat ears.
'What the hell are youngsters these days thinking...?' He couldn't help but sigh and shake his head repeatedly, unaware that he looks like a teenager himself.
"Sarah..." Rachel shvered slightly and even spilt some of the tea she was serving, true... she forgot to cook.
"Grandma, I'll be in my room, bring the food..." The girl walked in further and said with a voice that sounded more like a 'demand' than a request.
!!!
When she glanced at the young handsome man sitting in the main room with his legs crossed, she stopped in her tracks for an entire minute.
'S-So handsome...' she almost stuttered only to shake her head repeatedly, she already has a boyfriend after all.
'He can't compare to this stud...' but it's a boyfriend nonetheless!
"Who are you?!" She growled out, a voice quite befitting the thing she had on her mouth.
"..." He didn't answer, instead he awaited something from her.
"He's a guest that's going to be staying here from now on..."
"Rachel..." This time he had to interject, he didn't plan to stay for longer than a day.
"From now on... until he gets well acquainted with this country's rules... he comes from the outside." Rachel insisted as he wanted to refuse again.
"Is that so? I don't care... get the food upstairs, grandma... I'll be in the VRworld" the girl shot him a last glare before moving upstairs with her backpack.
"... yes..." Rachel sighed and prepared to start cooking, but a hand stopped her.
W-When?
Morpheus shook his head to her before taking the cup of tea and downing it in one go.
"Stay here, Rachel."
"Morpheus?"
He walked calmly after downing the tea, he couldn't believe this degree of insolence.
When she said her granddaughter wasn't the best, he didn't expect it to be this bad.
Therefore, he walked with his hands on his back, going upstairs... where Sarah just went.
Hopefully, he wouldn't find her naked inside... that's what he thought before opening the door and almost getting blind by all the pink and purple lights inside.
"..."
The girl didn't even take out her school clothes, she had plopped on the bed and wore a helmet.
He moved up to her and took the helmet straight from her head!
!!!
*BAAAAANGGG!!!!*
He threw the helmet through the window of the house and it impacted a vehicle far away.
"..." Sarah couldn't believe what just happened, she glared at this handsome boy as if asking 'are you for real?'
"If you want food, go and cook it yourself... your grandmother just came back from a hard day of work and she doesn't have the strength to be preparing food for your nasty self, got it?"
After saying that, he departed the room, leaving an incredulous Sarah.
'What the fuck just happened?'
It had been so outrageous that she just couldn't believe it, could it be that she was still wearing the helmet?
Is it an update?
**
**
Downstairs Rachel fidgeted after hearing the faraway bang noise.
'Are they fighting!?'
But then she saw Morpheus come downstairs calmly and sit on the bed.
"Where is your room, Rachel?" He asked with a solemn gaze, his eyes even seemed to be shining.
"T-That one... I have to-"
"You're not going to prepare even a piece of bread... go and sleep Rachel, you must be tired."
"..." She wanted to ask about what happened upstairs, but it wasn't necessary, the thumps of Sarah's steps resonated on the ground she came downstairs!
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER! PAY MY VR BACK! GRANDMA HOW CAN YOU LET THIS BASTARD IN!"
"S-Sarah..." The woman was troubled, she never saw her granddaughter this enraged, just her normal rage is hideous enough but this...
"Go to your room, Rachel." His voice resonated once again without any care, this time, it was an order.
And for some reason, Morpheus looked even scarier than her granddaughter!
Therefore, she walked to her room.
"GRANDMA!? HOW CAN-!"
!!!
Her words didn't finish, because no more words came out!
In fact, she couldn't even open her mouth!
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH..."
...
Rachel bit her lips and continued going towards her room, "Morpheus, your room..."
"Don't worry, I'll sleep on the couch."
...
"Okay, good night... sweetheart... thank you."
"Good night, Rachel."
Having said those words she closed the door of her room but straight away pushed her ear against the door, intending to see what would happen next!
As it was obvious, Sarah was able to open her mouth again, bewildered at what happened just now.
But even more, enraged after what took place before.
"You little piece of shit, I don't know what you did to my grandma, but you're going to pay my VR or we're going to have trouble, you hear me!?"
"... is that so? and what are you going to do?" He crossed his legs the other way in apparent mock, he couldn't take this ant even less serious.
For him, respect is everything... and this girl who didn't even acknowledge her grandma's efforts, is there anything she is if not shit?
The girl immediately lunged at him, as he sat, she had two robotic arm enhancements, if she wanted to strangle someone, it was an easy matter.
*BAANG!*
But what she received was a slap right at her cheek with so much strength that it flung her head away.
"..." Morpheus didn't say anything as the girl seemed to have lost all the air in her lungs even as she wasn't hit on her chest.
She stumbled and fell on one of the sofas with a red cheek, so red that it looked as if it was on fire.
"You hit me..."
"Go to your room, you disgust me..."
"..." Her eyes shivered slightly at the disdain within his words.
But even then, she tried to lunge on him again.
*BAAANG!!*
Another slap, right on the other side of her face, threw her directly to the ground... powerless and with moistened eyes.
"The next time... your head won't remain on your shoulders..."
When those cold words were said, she knew he said them seriously...
"I'll get my boyfriend... he will beat you up!"
"..." He couldn't care less.
Having said those words, the girl went upstairs, acknowledging her defeat for now and retreating.
On the other side of the room, Rachel sobbed... hoping that everything would end well... truthfully, she knows her granddaughter needs a 'wakeup call' but she was never willing to do it herself.
The lady never expected that the one to give it would be him.
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
After that, he helped her take her stall to the main road."Why don't you stay with me today? 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..." He decided to
The moment Rachel moved inside her room, it was immediate, both Sarah and the man lunged together at Morpheus, but it was just as hopeless.For a while, he just blocked her fist and his knife, the two of them weren't able to push him back at all.*CLAANG!*His palm clashed against the knife and much to the surprise of the two of them, it was the heat knife that was deteriorating!*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!------That surprise caused a flaw that was more than enough for Morpheus to take advantage of... not that he needed to.He kicked the man's chest precisely when he was aligned between the open door and him, sending him flying straight out of the house and crashing on the streets."Ashton!!" Sarah yelled to her boyfriend only to notice how a palm was straight in front of her face.*SLAAAPP!!!*This sla
Sarah hadn't expected that the dish he was going to prepare was cereal with milk, it's already 2:00 pm, she's not even supposed to be eating according to his standards.When he served that to her, she deadpanned but continued to eat, her cheeks still swollen and her stomach hurting from the earlier kick."...""..."For some time only the noise of her plate was revered as she had her gaze locked at him, his handsome and strong self.This attraction that she's feeling, she would deny it with her entire self... after living so long in the streets it's more than normal that a female would be attracted to strong men, but she firmly refused to get attracted to a man that just beat the shit out of her.Moreover, she has a boyfriend... or had a boyfriend, if he's still alive."Why are you so strong? Where do your enhancements come from?" She sud
The delightful picture of a female could be seen swiftly typing on a keyboard inside a dark room filled with red lights, her hair is as red and shiny as those lights.Dozens of images moved through her head and her vision simultaneously as she studied them.'The Blackout, the bank... could it have been the same person?'That's her hypothesis, but... why does she care?Because she has to get her hands in that camouflaging technology and that EMP... only with those will she finally step up her game and reach V2.'So it's you...'The image was very fuzzy and she could barely recognise it, it's from a camera in barnet, there... before the robbery of the bank where that shadow appeared, this man was also there several blocks away.While everyone ran he was calm and then... he turned into that darkness... no doubt he must be some kind of androi
After flying for not so long while following the instructions of the hostage insect, Morpheus reached a place that resembled a wasteland far away from barnet, in fact, it was already out of London.'It's here...' The insect said and struggled to move away from the grasp of his element output.He looked to the front and furrowed his brows, if he hadn't been using the <Elemental Output: Stone> he might not have been able to detect it.*RUMBLE*In front of him, a metallic object that had been previously invisible finally appeared within his gaze.It was a vehicle, one that belonged to a particular kind of group.The police.The Vehicle ceased floating and moved towards the ground, intending to land as he followed.It was after landing that the door finally opened giving way for a beautiful silver-haired lady
While Rachel hummed in joy downstairs, Sarah had just finished moving the boxes away while refusing to be aided in this endeavour.Morpheus sighed and scratched his silky hair, 'I think I beat her too hard...'He likely did, but it doesn't matter... the objective had been accomplished."Here, do you want me to clean it for you?" It was a little dusty but it was a big room nonetheless, these kinds of houses are difficult to attain in London but since it's an inheritance, they can't do anything against them as the ownership is on paper."It's okay, I can clean the rest." He said and waved his hand lightly.<Elemental Output: Wind>Sarah felt how a breeze moved through her cheeks, eventually turning into a small tornado that fluttered the dirt around in its core, she moved her shocked gaze towards the God that only remained with his eyes shining slightly,
"Don't you think it's about time we have dinner? I think we have been here so long, grandma should have finished with it already..." She sat on top of a high building in this virtual world with a ghost beside her.A literal ghost."If that's what you want..." While they were playing here she answered all the questions he had.At first, she stated that whatever information she has it's what's available to the public, and according to it there isn't any particular activity that's putting the world at 'edge' in fact... the news say that the world is healthier than ever with a relatively recent technology that bases on plant life...Bullshit.Morpheus asked what peoples do regarding these matters and she said, that most people don't involve themselves with those things as most successful businesses are run in virtual environments like this one and they're mostly entertainment.
"You're back! how was your day~?" Rachel smiled warmly and opened the door for them, there was a delightful smell in the house, obviously, she had fun cooking."Granny!""Dear, you look happy..." 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..." He pressed her against his body, and t
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
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
"H-How did you get yourself that car!?" The voice of a frantic girl resonated in the classroom as Sarah made an annoyed expression, still feeling pride inwardly.Sarah sat on her desk with a redhead screaming all over, annoying the entire class until the teaching bot came back to the classroom."Secret." 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!?" The girl said, referring to Hana, they were seen coming out of the Bentley together."Secret, definitely a secret!" Telling her friends that she's sharing her boyfriend is a no-no.The class went on normally, they entered the VRworld where she noticed a lot more new
"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. 'Oh my...' tears were about to come out of her bionic pupils. "B-But that..." "Don't worry Rachel, everything wil
"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
Morpheus had camouflaged himself and gone on his way with a phone in his hand, he flew across the skies of England, following V2's signals."I only have the location of another two reactors, one of them within the UK, another one outside... the ones outside are going to be even more difficult to find, but they shine for their absence; overly exaggerated security methods often serve to pinpoint either a reactor, a military base or a secret corporation..." 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
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." Sarah sighed, another day another class... with the fantastic amount of events though her life at the moment, she felt the least motivated to start going to 'clas
Commander Krashev is an individual not to be trifled with, standing atop a gigantic iron carcass, he casually brushed his hair as the torrents of water crashed against his soaking body and clothes.*SPLASH!!*"We're here commander! there is no presence of the recusants whatsoever!" He heard from his communicator as the maritime vehicle resurfaced from the deepest abyss.His gaze roamed the land in front, the territory of treasures, the United Kingdom."It seems the Wisdom King has been truly disabled, what a surprise, to think there is someone capable of taking it down, we must tread carefully."He gave his orders to the crew as the modern submarine floated in the lands of the destroyed city of Brighton, the underwater facility completely obliterated, the city... decimated, a new lake formed as the prologue of unimpeded destruction."What the fuck happe
