*Alex POV

I woke up in the bit of light crossing through my window cover, I am in a deep headache, I think I might have overslept last night, I try to remember, but what really bothered me is why is it bright outside, I looked at the clock, it's 7:47 am, my work is 8:00 am....

"I AM LATE!" I shouted.

My first day of me as a Business Manager, and I don't even know why I stayed up late last night, but no time to think, I stood up quickly, wash up fast, and worn my suit, and comb up my hair as I walk down the autostairs, then rode my motorcycle, I need to focus on riding my motorcycle.

(Autostairs, same as escalator, but it's highly advanced, it doesn't function using engines, but the new technology, Scope Tech)

I am Alexander F. Hugo, Alex in short, I am the new Business Manager in Scope Company Branch S-13, Scope Company is the developer of the biggest and advanced technology in the Dotun City and almost the entire Lanima Region, Scope Tech and the Lazer Amplified Tech, LATech in short, as the President of the company called.

(LATech is powered by Lazer, and is the main power source of this technology, it uses Lazer to energize a technology, and if it is implemented by a Scope Chip, then it turned into a Scope Tech)

(Scope Tech is more advanced than LATech, it is powered by Energy, a beta and weak version of Arkon Tech, and still in working progress)

(Arkon Tech definition is to be given to the future)

I am just 25 years old, I just graduated college 5 years ago.

I lived alone, my parents passed away, and I think I don't have any siblings, I think, because my mom never talked about it when I always ask, but I'm happy that I'm just her child.

She passed away when I'm 18 due to ill sickness, even the doctor don't know know the cause and the cure, I was so sad because she's the only family I have left, I cried and locked myself in my room.

But I realized that mom won't be very happy if I did that forever, so I tough it up, and looked for a part-time job to supported myself while being a student, our house is ours so I don't need to trouble myself to pay for rent, all I have to pay is electricity, water bills and everyday things, and I'm set to life.

I'm a Doctoral in Scope Engineering, Scope Programming and Business Development, of course I looked for the best job for myself, I worked so hard to get my image and self-confidence perfect.

And I landed a good position on the biggest company in the Region, in Scope Company level S, I'm only on the 13th branch, not the highest one but still in S level so I think it's good.

(Branches of Scope Company

S level - 13 branch

A level - 27 branch

B level - 53 branch

C level - 100 branch

D level - 240 branch)

Let's go back to present time.

I just got promoted yesterday, so being late is a huge drop to my credentials, so I swear to myself to never stay up at night, unless it's necessary.

"I'll never work even at house anymore, I swear to God." I said to myself.

Even with this LAT Bike of mine, I don't think I'll arrive on time, I never had breakfast so maybe I'll buy some on the way, no need to rush if your already late.

(LAT Bike is an advanced version of a motorbike, it is powered by LATech and don't need gas to function, don't have any leather tires, it's metallize, its cost is 150.000 Den)

(Den - currency in all Lanima Region.

1$ \= 10 Den)

"I mean it's only 8:12 past, and the meeting is 8:30...."

"Oh Crap, the meeting!" I shouted again, but a bit subtle.

I quickly rode my bike and rush on, knowing I'll get sick from this, driving while eating, I don't really have time to think anymore of those, I need to focus on my biking.

I said the meeting is 8:30 but I am not even a slight ready, why did I even start a meeting, I shouldn't have, what am I thinking starting a meeting for my self introduction? Most of the employees there knows me already.

Okay I'll think about what I'll speak for the meeting while riding.

I arrived at the office, I run as quickly as I could, of course the design of the building outside and inside won't get old, all is fill to the brim with advance Tech, everything is so blue and white, the pillars are silver, so many hologrammed projections, really advertising almost every inch of work of Scope Tech, and thinking I'll be leading these whole building for myself, so of course while still admiring the look of the building I bumped to one of my coworkers, yes I almost know everyone here in this branch.

"Mr. Hugo, you just arrived?!" Kart asked.

Kart is the 23rd Front Desk here, and he's pretty good with his work too.

"Yeah, see you later!!" I said while running to the Levitator.

(Levitator is and advanced version of Elevator, it's powered by magnetism and LATech, it's floating BTW)

I arrived at the meeting, of course they are here, I should apologize.

"Sorry I'm late everyone, let's start, shall we?" I said.

Everyone stood up to be respectful, which I really hate.

"Yeah you better be, man." John said.

John is the Executive Associate, he's in my age, not really important but he's still vital to the company.

"Took you a while." Carl said.

"So is this something important?" Jonathan asked.

Jonathan is the former Executive Associate, he's now the Scope Sector, Scope Sector is like the eye of the main branch of Scope Company.

I let everyone sat down, in the most advanced table which can be used as presentation as a hologram LAT, the seat is pretty sweet too, it's kinda floating thanks to LAT Tech.

"Nothing to important, I just wanna set some pointers about how I operate things, and declare some projects I would like to do in the future, since I have given a chance to be in this position." I enthusiastically said.

"What's on your mind, Alex?" Justin asked.

Justin is the Secretary here, he basically have more knowledge about this branch than me.

I continue to discuss the things I'd like to do while I'm in this position, and just layout some of MY ground rules for everyone to follow, because I and the others have to work independently while I'm the BM.

(BM is Business Manager)

We finished up before lunch, so that we can freshly start some of the work before delving into it as a whole.

A friend helped me clean up at the meeting room, she's Stacia, she's one of my former higher up, she told me never call her ma'am again because I'm already a BM, but that'll be hard for me.

"Ma'am.., I mean Stacia.." I kinda said that awkward.

"Just call me Stacia, other of my friends call me that." She said.

"Oh, really?" I said

"I can't believe you'll be our BM, I still remember when you applied to this company, I mean I'm 10 years here, and I barely rise my ranks here." She said in a depressed way.

"That's not true, you helped me a lot before when I started here, I always think your kindness is exceptional, and thinks you're greater than anyone here before." I said cheering her up.

Back when I first applied here, she was partnered to me to help me start, I never really know what her position is before since I never asked, she often comes to me when she knows I'm having trouble with my work.

When I found out what her work is, she looked really despair, because even though she's been here for 5 years before I applied, she never rose up her rank, after that the higher-ups changed my position to not let her interact with me again, they thought I'll despise her when I found out about it, but they're wrong, but they still insisted me to change position.

That's how I got my reputation to be promoted as BM five years later, to be honest I really don't know if I'm thankful to Ma'am Stacia that I'm here, or hated it because I'm unable to work with Ma'am Stacia anymore, but now I'm BM I think I'll promote her to be close to mine.

"But when you found out that I'm just a System Programmer..." I stopped her sad sentence there and.

"I still think of you as great person, forget the fact that I never talked to you again for like 2 months back then, I still think today that you're better." I said happily.

"Hmm, thanks Alex, you're great too." She said smiling.

"Um, can I still call you Ma'am Stacia?" I asked.

"Hee, whatever you say BM." She said jokingly.

"I'm Glad you're still the same Alex after all this time." She said.

I really blushed there.

After we cleaned up the room, we rested and watch some news, there's this weird news that we don't even know if it was real.

'This is the Dotun City News, a lab in Scope Tech Convention exploded while an experiment is being held, a huge amount of said Cosmic Energy is spreading throughout Dotun City right now, everyone is told, if affected by said Cosmic Energy is to be confined in Scope Lab in S-1 branch, I repeat, if affected by said Cosmic Energy is to be confined in Scope Lab in S-1 branch..' the news said it repeatedly,

I looked at the window in the room and I saw the flowing Cosmic Energy coming our way, but I got distracted by a sizzling noise on my my, I look to the back and saw a missile heading our way, I don't know why there's a missile heading towards us but all did is I burst out a yell shouting.

"EVERYBODY RUN!!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs so that everyone outside hears it.

But we couldn't have in time as the missile is speeding up, and then the missile hits us.

While I'm Unconscious, as we are being exploded by the missile, the Cosmic Energy reached us, a surge of pure energy flowed through my entire nervous system, and then my body just moved on its own and manipulated all the debris and even the explosion, my unconscious self moved away the people that are affected, and put them in a safe place, and then my body fainted.

Many people are injured in that explosion, I am in a severe state, so I was taken to a different lab.

3 years have passed.

*Others POV

In an unknown realm, a big entity with a black spear and a glowing eyes, we'll call him L for now, and a right arm of L is talking while another small entity is on his knees in front of L standing high, we'll call the small entity on his knees Lowlife for now.

"Have you killed him?" L asked.

"You may answer him!" The right arm shouted.

"He survived, it was the luck of an incident that let him survive my attack." Lowlife said ashamed.

"INSOLENCE!!" The right arm shouted disappointed and stabbed the Lowlife with magic.

"That's enough, your last chance is to kill him again, and you will not return in this realm unless you did so, am I clear?" L told Lowlife.

"You shall answer his grace!" The right arm shouted.

"Yes! I will not return until I have his head." Lowlife said in agony and shame.

"You better return with the successor's head or you will experience true pain, and I'll make sure you don't die in the process of your torture!" The right arm said in pure pride.

"Quiet, leave this place, L Side, after that you'll spread my name in these world!" L said.

"I will." L Side said and left using magic.

"Watch him, Tail, don't let him see you." L ordered.

"I will not fail you, almighty lord!" Tail said with a bowed head.

*Alex POV

I woke up, I'm in a white room, I think I'm in a lab or something, I tried standing up, and then I was shocked to see my right arm, it's robot, I think it's a Scope Tech, because the tech looks so advanced, and when I touched my face with my left arm that is not robot, I felt a metal, and I looked at myself at the mirror that is in the right table, my right face is a machine too.

I have a very long hair, I'll cut it someday, but for now, I took off my shirt, my right body is completely mechanized, my body is a bit builded up, I am in awe, and also felt terrified.

"Did I really have that of a severe injuries?" I asked to myself quietly.

A automatic door opened, someone entered.

"Yes, you did, we almost not save you from that condition you're in." The doctor said answering my question.

"Oh, hello, doctor?" I asked, he heard me.

"Yes, I'm the head manager of this lab, and the head doctor, your name is Alexander Hugo, right? You should rest on the bed for a while, Alex, your body isn't still compatible with the machine, even though we injected you with super soldier serum 3 times, your nervous system isn't steady on your new mass and blood flow." He said.

"Okay, you injected me with it, well, it felt normal when I stand up, what can I call you doctor?" I asked while lying down on the bed.

"Call me Dr. Inium, are you hungry?" He asked.

"Not exactly, but I'd like some fruits if you have some." I nonchalantly asked.

"Oh, we do have, wait a moment, (he took a calling device, maybe) Nurse can you bring some fruits in Lab 1.... our patient wants one.... thank you." He said.

"Well, I shouldn't have asked something impolite." I said.

"Don't worry about it, you're a patient, you should ask for assistance if you need it, your injuries won't heal up if you keep moving." He said.

He is doing some thing in a computer on the left side of the room, it's huge, is it a Scope Motherbrain?

(Scope Motherbrain is an advanced computer, have 100 Yottabytes core and is 10x smarter than a super computer)

"Doctor what time it is and date?" I asked.

"It is 10:32 in noon, it's been 3 years since your accident in the building." He said.

"HOLY CRAP! !" I shouted.

"Sorry about that." I said.

"It is really shocking you survived that explosion, what caused it?" He asked.

"It was a missile coming from, like, in the south west of the building I guess, that's all I can vaguely remember." I said.

It came on the back of the building, where the meeting room is, it is behind the building.

"Are you sure? Here are all the cameras in all the side of the building." He showed me a footage in a hologrammed screen.

It show all the side of the building, and from where I am, the building just exploded, there's no missile in sight.

"That can't be??!" I said.

"That's the raw footage, I did some hard analyzing on the footage, and looked at the other cameras nearby, and I used this Scope Motherbrain to do all those." He said while I felt so horrified.

How'd that happen, Magic doesn't exist, at least I think so, and Scope Motherbrain cannot be hacked to the most possible way.

No way.

After a moment, the nurse arrived, wow, a lot of different fruits, I don't think I can finish this.

"I'll take this one" I said while taking an Apple.

"Help yourself with those, we have a lot, and you need all the nutrients you need to recover." The doctor said while working.

"Hey, doctor, why don't you have one, I can't really finish all this." I offered.

"Don't worry about me, if you can't finish it, the nurse will display it on the table there." The doctor said pointing at the big table to the right.

"Okay, don't overwork yourself doctor, thanks for all the help." I said.

I just ate the fruit I can eat and just sleep over the things doctor said.

*Doctor Inium's POV

I started a meeting about Alex's future, we don't want the Lanima Officials to get their hands on him, I called all the scientists and doctors as well as the nurse.

(Lanima Officials are the ones who operate and control the entire Lanima Region)

"I have something to discuss, I want all of you to leave this place." I ordered them.

"But what about the lab?" Doctor Sean asked.

"Are we gonna stop?" Scientist Deus asked.

"How about Alex?" Nurse Joy asked.

"How about the other projects?" Doctor Cris asked.

"Are you gonna stay behind?" Nurse Jane asked, my wife.

"Everyone, calm down, just quiet for a moment, I'm staying behind, I'll have to do something for Alex and also for all of us here in UnderScope lab, all of you will be riding the FloBus down in this lab, and live far away in Lanima Region, change your name or migrate or something, don't let anyone know you formerly work here, that'll cause some huge issue, like hostage you or blackmail all of us to work again, I'll be giving this card to Alex, and ask him to give it to the Lanima Officials." I said.

(FloBus is a floating bus powered by Scope Tech, automated if pointed to a destination.)

(UnderScope is Scope Company's number 1 secret project to attain Arkon Tech)

"That's the Lanima Officials' money they gave us for work?!" Doctor Janna asked.

"But that's just same as be giving up Alex that easy!" Nurse Joy said in despair.

"Yeah what's the point of hiding him here if we're giving him anyway?" Scientist George said.

They're worried about Alex, well, he's the first and only successful Scope Tech infusion so that'd be obvious.

"Listen, I'm not letting him give himself to them, I know he won't, and he's old and smart enough to protect himself, he's 'The Alex" after all." I said.

"How?" Nurse Joy, Scientist George, Doctor Sean and the others asked.

"I developed something in his Scope Tech that will help him, do you know the EALS, (after I said that name everyone felt happy and relief while in awe and shock) you don't have to worry." I said.

(EALS stand for Energy Absorbing LATech revised Scope Tech, it is almost close as Arkon Tech)

I've been developing that Tech for a while now, now I have use for that now, it's all on you now Alex.

After that, all of the staff rode the FloBus and left here, and I returned to the lab, I looked at Alex in his room but his not there, I'll look for him.

*Alex POV

The night has pass and everyone is asleep, I think, I haven't seen anyone yet, except for me.

I walked around the lab and just memorizing everything, well I got nothing better to do so..

I saw a room with a really big window and found out that the lab is flying in the sky, the sky looks better than I can explain it, it's like we're over the world of cotton, it looks magical, and the stars are looking pretty tonight.

I left the room for about 20 minutes passed, and I saw the doctor walking pass the halls.

"Hello doctor, you're still up?" I asked.

"Alex, where have you been, it's already late?" He asked.

"I'm in the room with a big window, how about you, doctor?" I said and asked.

"That room.. it's beautiful isn't it?" He asked and walked in the room I was in before.

"Doctor?" I asked while confused.

I followed him of course.

"The lab is powered by Scope Tech as well, Mr. Scope really overdid it with us, even though the Lanima Officials are financing our works and projects, well it's not like we really use much of they're money, since Mr. Scope gave almost everything we need in here." He said.

(Mr. Scope is the President of Scope Company, and the lead developer of Scope Tech and LATech, built the industry and reputation of the Company to the ground up, they say at some point of the president's life, he worked all by himself, full name will be given in the future)

"You must really admire Mr. Scope?" I asked.

"I' do, hell, who doesn't?" He said proudly.

"Hey Alex, can you tell me about your life before you get here." Doctor asked.

"I'm a Business Manager in a Scope Company in Branch S-13." I said while Doctor interrupted

"That's the lowest branch in S level." He said mockingly.

"Oh shut it, anyways, I just got promoted like the day before the incident, and before anything, my life was as normal as it can get, I wake up, I work, I go home, I eat, I overnight in the company sometimes, I admire someone, nothing really special about it." I said.

"Do you desire for a change, like this?" He asked.

"Not really, but, maybe back when I was a kid, I wanted to do something out of the ordinary, you know like lead a rally, or start an organization or something." I said.

"Really?" Doctor asked.

"Really!" I proudly answered.

"I'm gonna ask you something, Alex, what will you do with those machines if we let you go?" He asked.

"I, never really thought about it." I said.

"The world outside right now is a dangerous place for you, if you were to be given the responsibility to fight for others, will you take it?" He asked.

He has some weird questions, maybe it's to test me, I'll play along.

"If I could prove myself, to the world, then I'll gladly take it, whether it'll change me or change how the world sees me, I will." I said.

"Even if this responsibility will consume your very being?" He asked.

"Even if this responsibility consumes my very being." I answered.

"You'll give your life to the world, even if the world doesn't want you to or the world doesn't even know you yet?" He asked.

"If it comes to that and the world is needing of someone to step up, then I will." I said.

"Will you regret it?" He asked.

"If I were to be allowed to choose that path, then I won't." I answered,.

"Okay, can you tell me why you're asking some philosophical questions?" I asked.

"Nothing really, I just thought, if that happens, I want you to stay the normal person you always are, a normal person that is in the very center of the world." He said.

"You should really sleep now, Alex, we'll continue this tomorrow." He said.

"Okay, good night, doctor." I said.

He's really into this kinds of questions though, better ignore it.

After I left the room, and moments later, I heard an explosion, where the office of the doctor, I rushed in the room, and saw a big hole on the wall, and a flying jet-like outside, the jet has all sign in its side in all big L, same as the missile that hit the building, and a humanoid entity is standing in front of the doctor while the doctor is lying down bleeding, they are the same as the ones who shoot me with the missile in the face!!

I lash out an anguish and ran into that guy, I put all force from my left body to right body and pushed him really hard, he fell in his knees and get back up again.

"Alex Fury!" It said.

"How do you know who I am?!" I asked while shouting on him since the wind of the sky is so loud.

"You are the one I'm ordered to kill, by the great being, you should be greatful that you'd die in the hands of the greatness' minion!"

And he pull a gun out of nowhere and shoot me, I got hit, it hurt so bad, but my injury healed up quickly, maybe it's from the super soldier serum.

"Very impressive, I should not underestimate you!" It said.

And I rushed into him, he shot me again, but never pay any mind to it, and punched his face using my right fist then unarmed his gun, and grab him and thrown him out of the lab, it crashed into one of the jet-like ships.

I quickly rushed to the doctor's side.

"Doctor, are your vitals injured?" I asked.

"No.. I should... be fine by... now.." he desperately said.

"You might have been, I'm gonna take you to another doctor outside." I said.

"No, Alex, no one's here... but us, I told them... to leave, Alex... you should leave too.... you are not safe.... here." He said desperately.

"No, I'm not leaving you like this, come on get up!" I said while trying to lift him up.

He put something on my pocket, then with his full strength, I noticed since he grunted too loud, he pushed me outside the lab, falling to the surface, while I looked at the lab, the lab is burning, surrounded by many jet-like ships, and then fired all at once at the lab, then completely destroyed.

I left falling and then I hit the ground, it hurts like hell, but it healed up pretty quickly, and I managed to stand again.

I don't know who are those things, but I swear one day, I'll avenge them, but first..

*Stacia's POV

It's been three years, and I haven't seen Alex yet.

I'm Stacia Mathews, I'm a former System Programmer in Scope Company, I say former, because our situation here at Dotun City is pretty rare.

After Alex saved us in the explosion on our working building, me and the other injured people was treated, Alex's injury is so severe that he was taken in to a special facility to be treated.

But I'm not stupid enough to believe that, it's the reason because of how Alex saved us, he basically stopped everything in that explosion, the debris, the walls, even the explosion.

That's the real reason, but, what happened to Alex?

After that, all people that's affected by the Dotun Incident are taken in a Scope Lab in S level branches, so to be sure if the Cosmic Energy that flew within us is stable and not tearing our bodies apart.

(Dotun Incident is what they call the event where Cosmic Energy flowed across the entire Dotun City all people with Special Nervous System are affected by the force of the Cosmic Energy)

(Special Nervous System is a rare type that mostly 45% of people in Lanima Region have, it was caused by the distress wavelength flowing in the current technology of Lanima Region)

And while we're confined in the labs, a group of Reigners built an organization and attacked the lab and took us in so to help free other Reigners that are quarantined in the other labs.

(Reigners are Reign Users)

(Reign is the powers developed by the people affected by the Dotun Incident)

(In order to use Reign, the user should flow the energy if the Cosmic Energy that is in their body and release it to project their powers and use it)

(Types of Reign {but no one knows this yet}:

Power type - is basically like releasing their powers in their own way of manipulating, and it releases raw energy of their specified element.

Command type - the user commands the energy inside them to project their powers, there are multiple commands each Reigner, they have to learn all of it in hand.)

The Dotun City is now in riot, all buildings are burnt, many streets are destroyed, all route in and out are blocked, all Reigners rebelled because of the Mr.Scope incident that happened in Lanima Region decades ago.

(That incident will be explained full in the future)

I joined the organization who released us in the lab, by the way, they're currently the powerful organization of Reigners right now, so I have to join them if I need to survive, and currently, I'm 1 of the 12 commanders.

The name of the organization is Reign Corp, they themselves escaped on their own lab that they've been confined in, and started a rebel, many Reigners created they're own group, but not as much powerful as them.

(Leaders/Founders - 3

Generals - 9

Commanders - 12

Other Team - 112)

(Teams:

Bombardment - 18

Stealth - 14

Force - 28

Shield - 22

Rangers - 24)

Since so many people that are affected by the Dotun Incident, the Scope Company have to move the other Reigners in the other level and branch.

Right now, We're currently going on another raid to free the other Reigners, and this time it's on S level branch 13, where my former work was.

Wherever you are, Alex, please be safe.

"Hey!! Blue, what are you doing there?!" Gordon asked, leader of the bombardment team.

"Nothing!! I'll be right there in a minute!!" I said.

I gained the name Blue because of my Reign, my hands releases blue gamma or something, I can block and attack with it, I think I can enhance anything too.

Right when we arrived at S 13, we saw some Anti-Reign currently surrounding the building.

(Anti-Reign is a group that captures Reigners who rebels)

They have a standard position, their boss really didn't cared about how they operate so they just did the basics, and this is going to be easy.

I already structured a plan thanks to their sloppy positioning.

I have team of 2 stealth team, 5 bombardment, me and 4 shield, then me and 2 forces.

"Okay, here's how we gonna enter, the stealth team will take the north, be sure not to be seen." I said.

"While the bombardment will cause a distraction in the west, the stealth group will take out the watchmen from the north, then me, the forces and the shields will take out the soldiers left on the other side if they're distracted, then we'll release the Reigners inside." I said.

"Yes, ma'am!" The team said.

"Be sure that the bombardment creates the distraction strong enough for the soldiers to react to it, use your combined Reign or something, okay?" I ordered.

"Yes, ma'am." The bombardment said.

"Let's do this." I said and left.

I hid in the destroyed structures on the east with the others while waiting for the others to do their job.

"Ma'am, the stealth team got taken out, look!" Coral said, second in command in Shield.

"What is that?!!" Jonna said in shock of something, second leader of the Force.

That's impossible since they're strong, who could it be.

"That can't be." I said then look at where the others are looking.

I looked and saw a big chunk of ice and the stealth team is in the middle of it frozen.

"Let's back them up, LET'S GO!" I shouted to them and rushed.

"We'll retreat for now, after this!" I said while running.

"What about the Reigners?" Coral asked.

"We're just have to let the main group take care of it, now that this place is under attack, they'll increase the defense here."

And when we rush to the side of the bombardment on the west and saw...

I saw a hooded man taking them all out with his ice powers and his combat prowess, he's so good, is he a general of another organization?

The 2 force behind me charged in, the two of them used a combined attack, the other one uses wind, and the other guy uses heat manipulation, the hooded guy just blocked it with his right arm, and then he used they're Reign.

No way?!

He used the wind Reign to remove their footing, and blasted them with fire Reign.

Multiple Reign, Reign Absorption, that can't be.

I have to step in to fight him.

I tried side kicking him first to push him back off of my team, I used my Reign to power up my thigh and knee, he can basically copy Reigns he come in contact with so I have to be smart about this.

"Hey! You better know what you're doing, because you're not getting out of it alive!" I shouted.

He looked at me.

!!!

Alex?

No way, it's him! This can't be happening!

*Alex POV

After the attack on the lab, doctor saved me and pushed me out of the lab and landed on the outskirts of Lanima Region, I think doctor knows I'll survive that fall, because of the super soldier serum, I'm sure to get revenge on them, whoever is this greatness that entity is talking about must be the one behind all this, what I mean this is.

I just saw the Dotun City on fire and smoke, something bad must've happened after a 3 years of me gone, I need to go there immediately.

"I'm almost top *****, my clothes must've ripped off in the fall, I need to look for clothes or somethin'." I said to myself.

When I arrived at the side of the city, I already saw some abandoned buildings and burnt walls, but that didn't really caught my attention, because the clothes store below it is still fine, and it's one of my favorite branch, it's abandoned so of course I took some clothes and jackets to wear on the way to the open area of the city.

When I arrived at the middle of the city, it was a complete mess, buildings fallen, trees burned, the sky is dark, even though the sun just rose a moment ago when I landed on the outskirts.

After that, of course I run back home to my apartment, and saw that the building is destroyed, God, has it been three years, what in the world happened.

Is it because of that Cosmic Energy that flown through the city? That can't put a city in such state, the last time I saw it, it's just a thin layer of Cosmic Energy, if it's a full layer, all of us could've died.

Who in the world would make such an experiment that caused the Cosmic Energy to release?

I need to find someone and ask about this.

No one's around here, so I look at the side street, there's no one there either, I kept looking, especially at the very corner of the streets, and I heard someone, I think some thugs.

"You better be scared of us, we're powerful than you!" Thug 1 said, not his real name though.

"Please, spare me, I was just passing by." The doctor said.

"Damn this Scientist, after capturing us, they just turn into a prideful bastards, but when they're overpowered, they look pathetic!" Thug 2 said.

"Let's just kill him." Thug 1 said.

Of course after hearing that line, I stepped in, one of the reason is that he is a doctor, might be the same company as doctor Inium, I don't know, might've been my superstition, of course an image of doctor Inium is projected through that doctor who's been Bullied by the thugs.

When they saw me, the Thug 1 conjured a blue ball in his right hand and threw it at me.

"What?" I murmured.

I blocked it with my right arm, because it's metal, it exploded, it's just like Scope bomb, I was pushed so hard and almost fell to my knees.

(Scope bomb is an explosive weapon, that uses charged plasma, and detonates if came in contact with a solid material)

I kept running at them, and Thug 2 forwards in with his arm in X form, then his arm glows, and when he hit me, I blocked it again with my right arm and pushed him with my left arm after his arm stops glowing, something's really bothering me, my right arm is absorbing their attacks, which is completely repelling the force of their attacks.

Wait, are they the people that got affected by the Cosmic Energy? Did they just developed they're own powers?

And wait a moment, I know I got hit by it as well.

I looked at my left arm, because that's a flesh hand rather than my right arm.

And I saw a of thinnest of tiniest of line, it's colored violet.

Of course as a goof ball that I am, I tried mimicking one the magicians in the movies.

And my hand just spit out an Ice.

The thugs didn't expect that then just stood up there and took the hit, it hit the 2 thugs, and froze them, ok, what just happened to me?

I tried controlling the ice to remove the ice on their faces, and it worked, it's like magic, I never really thought about this really be real.

Maybe because of the Cosmic Energy influencing our nervous system to change and behave in a circulation form and when the energy is released, power-like things come out.

It's confusing because that's how LATech work, but without the Cosmic Energy shenanigans, but instead it's electricity.

(Alex knows a lot because he studied in Scope Engineering, and learnt a bit of Cosmic Theory)

I walk up to the Thug 1, and ask him some few questions.

"You're a Reigner, then why are you fighting us!?" The Thug 1 asked.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I said.

"Anyways what in the world happened here?" I asked.

"I don't get it, you have Reign, why did you side with them?" Thug 2 asked.

"Listen, I'm the one asking here, and I never sided with anyone, I haven't been here for three years, so tell me in full details or I'll lock you here in the ice forever." I said, like a hero.

"If I did then you'll release us?" Thug 1 asked.

"Lie and I'll increase the temperature of the ice as well." I said.

That's an absolute lie of course, and I'm really happy that I've tried my acting skills playing an edgy dude here, my troubles payed off back when I'm in high school.

"Three years ago, when the Dotun Incident, all Reigners are confined in the Scope branches." Thug 2 said.

Reigner? Then what is a Reign?

"What's a Reign?" I asked while taking down notes.

"Reign, you know, the powers you just used, each person that affected by the Cosmic Energy gained powers, all of us each have 1 element of powers, some are rare types, some are unique types." Thug 1 said.

"After that, a group of Reigners in a lab in S-1 branch started a group of rebels to free other Reigners, I don't know who started it but all I know is that they're the powerful ones now." Thug 2.

Reign is the power, and Reigners are the users, it really sounds like a game, but I already saw it real with my very own eyes.

If this group are able to free other Reigners then they can overthrow Mr.Scope and take over Dotun City all together, if possible the entire Lanima Region.

"But some of the freed Reigners separated to the first group, and created their own group, we tried starting to our own but we're just two people." Thug 2 said.

"And that all started this destruction, all the buildings burnt, and many destroyed everything in their path, and that's where the name Reign is taken and name the powers Reign, cool huh??" Thug 1 said.

"Look, it didn't fit my taste about how they call the powers, but since so many people call it that then I have no qualms about it, but why Reign?" I asked.

"You know, WE REIGN DOTUN CITY!!" Thug 1 said nonchalantly.

"That's it." Thug 1 said.

"That's so lame." I said and cringed so hard.

"NO ITS NOT!!" Thug 2 shouted in denial.

Anyways if this group of Reigners really did group up many Reigners then I really need to do something as well, I'm a fan of Mr.Scope, so I think I'll side with him, this group isn't really logical in their motive, yet, but I have to know more.

I left them unfrozen since they told me a lot and just left, I have to look for the S-1 branch too, so to help Mr.Scope.

After walking around, I saw many refugee, and many people looting the place, of course I don't want to ruin their fun, and I'm kinda looting for left out things too, I'm like them.

While I walk around the city.

"You dare take us, we're not your property!!" Someone shouted.

On the east, and when I arrived at it, I saw some soldiers rushing on some people, but the people have Reign too, they're fighting the soldiers.

What the heck really happened in the city?

Of course I jumped in the soldiers and fought them too, I used my ice powers to freeze them from afar, but something different happened, after I landed on the ground, the ground shook.

I tried using my powers but this time, I thought of Earth, I waved my hands upwards.

And the ground shook and the earth shattered to pieces and hits the soldiers, knocking them unconscious.

That's how I imagined it, awesome.

The people behind me was shocked, I don't know why.

The soldiers run away after I attacked.

"You can control two elements?" A guy said.

"How's that possible, the scientists told us each person only have one element or different type?" A girl said.

"I don't know myself, I just got here 3 years later and I already have this." I said.

"Who're those soldiers?" I asked them.

"They're Anti-Reign, they took in Reigners and lock them so that they'll not rebel." A dude said.

"How'd you get your Reign?" A kid said.

"No need to ask so many questions, kid." I said.

"Who are you?" An old man asked.

"No one, really, just a guy." I said.

I just saved this Reigners, who am I really siding with, Mr.Scope or these Reigners, but I have Reign too, so I think Mr.Scope won't take me seriously.

If that's the case then, I'll be mutual, and I have one mission, to unite Reigners with Lanima Region.

But what will be the Reigners purpose here if they're to unite with Lanima Region?

I'll think about this later.

I think I need to hide this people for now, since the main Reign group are targeting them, but I need to secure a place for them first. so that they'll not be taken by the Anti-Reign.

Oh right!!

"If you wish to be safe, then follow me." I said.

Of course, all of them followed me, the weak follows the strong, and that's a fact.

There's a place for them to hide for now, the underground park in my old hotel, since I can control earth I can hide them there.

Of course, I gave them some supplies for them to last, a food, water and clothes, since some people left this building, no one really cared about the things left here.

"I'll be leaving for a while, you all do your best not to get caught here." I said.

"Where are you going?" A lady asked.

"What if we get attacked?" A guy asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be back, and I'm gonna block every entrance so no one can enter, of course I'll leave a hole for air, and I left quiet a lot of supplies for you to last here, so don't worry, I promise I'll be back." I said and left.

"You promised." A kid said.

"See you soon, Sir!!" Everyone said, it's like they're my children, what a bothersome.

After that, I left them for a while, I used my Earth Reign to block the parking lot, so no one will notice them.

It's convenient that I can use 2 elements, but I don't think I can use just 2, lemme try.

I raised my hand and thought of, wind.

And wind blasted through my hands, that's awesome, lastly, fire.

A fumes came out of my hand and blazed, it's weird, is it too good?

And I've been seeing a text in my right eye, where it's mechanized, it said that..

' Absorbed '

• Blue Bomb <---

• Steel Arm

There's an arrow pointing on the Blue Bomb, wait, Blue Bomb?

Isn't that Thug 1's Reign? If so, then can I copy Reign when it came in contact with my right arm?

Can I use them, I can't seem to activate it, it's just pointed to Blue Bomb, and no press button or something.

Wait I know, what if I use this like a normal Reign, I put my right hand up, and thought of the Blue Bomb to shoot out.

' BOOM!!!! '

It worked!!

I can use it like a normal Reign, I just need the arrow to point at a Reign that I absorbed.

Am I too overpowered?

Whatever, this will help me stop those group, and to find that group I need their attention first.

Whatever the reasons I have many elements, and I have this machine with me, that can, weirdly, copy Reign, I'm not going to think about it too much, what did doctor Inium did to do this?

There's a place I'd really want to go ever since I got here.

The S-13 Branch.

It's been a long time since I got there, of course I'm a bit sad, since I just got promoted to a BM and then the missile hits us, it's frustrating, but I hope it's still standing.

When I got there, I saw a few soldiers surrounding it, and..

I saw a familiar face, Ma'am Stacia...

She's leading a group to infiltrate the building, and she's about to attack the soldiers, she have a few soldiers splitting up with her though, that's like a strategy that Ma'am Stacia does though.

Of course, after seeing her do such thing, I stepped in, but I need her to go to me instead, I'll have to take out her other forces on the other side first, for her to get to me.

First I saw two guys going on North, I don't know why they're not noticed by the watchers, and they're wielding a dagger, I jumped at them and used my ice Reign to freeze the two them, it might cause a lot of attention, but that's what I need.

Then next I headed towards the bigger group on the west.

When I arrived there, I saw them like..

They're charging up an explosion, when I saw that, I rushed towards them, and used my ice Reign to seal it.

It still exploded but the ice is strong enough that the explosion is just able to split up them up.

Are they helping the girl who had the explosion Reign to charge it by using their Reign?

If so then, what are their Reigns anyways?

The big guy that's on the right earlier stood up, and..

"Who are you?!" He asked while in combat ready.

"You should know that what you did is your biggest mistake of your life!" The girl who have the explosion Reign said.

Let's just call them like.

The girl with the explosion Reign is called Explode.

The big guy is Big guy.

The other girl is West, because she's in the west side when I saw them.

And the last guy is South, same reason as West.

"Exo, ready your bomb!" Big guy said to Explode, her name is Exo?

"Leader, get ready!!" South said to Big guy, he's the leader, huh?

"Pura, help me!" Exo said to West, his name is Pura?

Guess my naming is worthless.

I get ready of course, Leader is about to jump on to me, his fist glow, and I blocked it with my right arm, while supporting it with my left arm.

Exo is about to dish out her bomb at me, so I sidestep on the side of Leader and slip his footing by kicking his feet, he's a big guy, so of course I used my right leg.

He nearly fell, but that's enough, I used my Earth Reign to shook the ground, Exo and Pura, who's helping her, fell down.

I heard the Leader behind me running towards me, and he's preparing a right punch, I quickly dodged it of course.

After that I used the 'Steel Arm' and bush him back, he got knocked out just like that?

"Leader!!" West shouted, she doesn't have a name yet.

"Pura, take Exo to safe place, and help me, let's take him!!" South said.

"Exo prepare your bomb!" South ordered.

"You sure are nice." I said.

"You shut up, you don't know who're you're facing, we are the 5th group of Reign Corp, led by Blue, I'll make sure that you'll suffer after this!!" Pura said in high spirit.

I thought the big guy is the leader, what leader is he anyways?

After gaining powers, they sound like some odd organization from an RPG, power really change others, whether it's weird or outright.

"I have a question." I said.

"Huh?" South said.

"How do you like my multiple Reign?" I nonchalantly asked.

"You C*cky Bastard! !" Pura shouted.

After that she and South attacked me, Pura released Red flames, while South shook the ground and created magma on the ground.

Pura shoots the Red flames at me, at the same time, South pulled the magma and dropped it on my head.

Of course, I used my fire Reign to stop Pura's Reign, while using my right arm to absorb the magma.

"He controlled my flames??" Pura said in shock.

"And he absorbed all the magma, he's hand should be burnt!!? But why did it not?!" South asked furiously.

"Absorbed"

• Blue Bomb

• Steel Arm

• Enhancement

• Lava Control

So that's how, South have Lava Control, which increase Exo's Explosion, while Pura have flames, which increase heat, and the Leader have enhancement, which is obvious.

They're a smart, but they're unfortunate that I'm they're enemy.

"This my Reign, watch." I said.

I conjure an Ice on my left hand, when they saw it, the two of them rushed at me.

"If your Reign is too good, then that must mean your physic is weak!!" Pura shouted.

Do they have combat training?

"Really now?" I said.

I turned off my ice, and ready myself for a proper exercise, their leader isn't really that good at fighting, he just waved his fist aimlessly so I never get much in that fight earlier.

Sadly, thanks to mom teaching me, I learned a few fighting skills, and I tried using my ice Reign to slip them, they bump themselves together, so I kicked Pura in the stomach while South is behind him.

They got thrown by my kicking, and while I'm looking at them, I heard someone approaching from my back.

The two of them have weapons, one of them have gauntlets, the other have a knife, a pretty cheap knife though.

The other guys fist shoot of wind in his fist, the other guy have his knife in heat, did they just used their Reign on weapons?

Of course I block the wind with my right arm, and absorbed it.

Gained "Wind Manipulation"

"Absorbed"

• Blue Bomb

• Steel Arm

• Lava Control

• Enhancement

• Wind Manipulation

Wind Manipulation? Not Wind Fist or something?

The other guy charged at me with his glowing knife, when he's about to stab me, I grabbed his knife with my right arm, and absorbed it.

Gained "Pyrokenesis"

"Absorbed"

• Blue Bomb

• Steel Arm

• Lava Control

• Enhancement

• Wind Manipulation

• Pyrokenesis

Pyrokenesis, means he can only control heat, that'll be useful.

After I grabbed his knife, I hit him with my right elbow, and used 'Wind Manipulation' to take their feet off the ground and used my fire Reign to blast them.

I use Pyrokenesis to increase the fire of my Reign, which it works BTW, I can basically combo Reign.

After it hit them someone side kicked me real hard from behind.

It hurts, my bones break, will my healing heal it?

It did!

Ma'am Stacia...

"Hey! You better know what you're doing, because you're not getting out of it alive!" She said.

Wow, she's bold this days, huh?

She was shocked to see me, of course, I disappeared for 3 years, this happens, and I reappear, in her current job of all places, she'll really be shocked.

"I see you're fine, Miss Stacia." I said.

"Alex, you're fine, thank goodness, but why now!!??" She said while tearing.

Please don't cry, I'll cry too.

"I'm sorry if my timing is bad, but first, please don't cry, you know I can't handle stuff like that." I said.

"Stop fooling me, you could've called me, I still have my phone, and you should've waited after this!!" She said, dear God she's crying.

"Waited? Do you even know what you're doing?" I asked.

"This is our business, not yours!! I have no choice, I have to, or else!!" She said, still crying.

"I know, I understand, I could've done the same thing if I were in your place, but you have to stop this, you're hurting many people more than the people you save." I said.

"You have no idea!!" She said.

"They're locking up those people, they're taking their freedom, do you think I'll stand for it??!!" She said to tough herself.

"You'll do the same too, right Alex?" She asked.

"No, I could've thought of something better, of course I'll join in the people you're working with, but do you think I'll stay there forever?" I said.

She had the eye that saying, Alex's right.

"I might've thought some in just two months, but it took you 3 years to even realize that there's another way, and you needed me tell you that too." I said.

"I DON'T NEED YOU, WHEN DID I NEED YOU!!??" She said.

That's right, she never needed me, I needed her, back then, but now.

"Don't you think it's time for you to see the truth, of course, you don't need me, but that's before, you're a role model for me, I needed you better than the former BM needed you, but now that the world is different, we need each other." I said.

Those are some deep words, but not shallow, I need her to need me, then she'll realize that what they're doing isn't in the good side too.

"SHUT UP!!" She said and blasted her Reign at me, I blocked it with my right arm though.

She generated a smoke cover, I used my wind to remove, and all of them just disappeared.

She's as smart as always.

Stacia's POV

After my escape from meeting Alex, while dragging my comrades back with my Reign, I reported our mission's failure and Alex's existence with his Reign.

"Impossible!!" Our leader, Sir Ayes, shouted in shock.

He's probably shock because of Alex's ability to absorb and copy Reign, if you're there, you would really not believe it with your own eyes as well.

"I didn't have a chance against him, so we ran away." I said.

"Have he copied your Reign too?" Sir Wey asked.

"No, he haven't yet, but I'm not too sure." I said.

Well, he almost, but luckily I controlled it in time, but I didn't really see if he did.

"Well, it's better to assume that he didn't." Sir Ayes said.

Sir Ayes is the leader of Reign Corp, he's an Ice Reigner too, just like Alex, but Ayes used his Ice Reign like a wizard, I don't really know the full concept of Ayes' Reign, but every time he uses his Reign, a certain type of circle with a symbols in it appears, just like a magic circle does in an RPG video game, but I doubt Alex is better than him, well, I haven't seen Alex got serious so I have no idea.

Sir Ayes can freeze an entire army on his own, leaving them to froze to death, he is merciless against the Anti-Reign and Scope Company, because of how they treated him like a lab rat, and experimented on him and his Reign.

He is a cunning leader, smart and nice at best, but he's heartless to anyone who oppose him, might not be good to be on his bad side.

Sir Wey, the most energetic and have the most destructive Reign in almost everyone here, his Reign is basically Destroy, his strength increases in 10 fold, despite not buffing up while using his Reign, he can tear down a whole building if he wishes, but he never because of Sir Ayes' order.

He is one of the three founder of Reign Corp, the last one is Miss Rea, she's pretty, her Reign is the most confusing of the three of them, possibly the entire Reigners, her Reign can like control matter and the minds of others, it's like she's warping reality, she can almost do whatever she wants, but I don't know why she stayed with the Reign Corp, I think her Reign has its limits, every time she uses her Reign, she became hazy, and dizzy, all Reigners experience fatigue when their at their limit when using their Reign, while Miss Rea's is different to the others.

Come to think of it, is Alex the same or not?

"He uses Ice Reign, he can manipulate it at his will, while I must imagine my Reign's certain attacks and have to redo it if I have to recast it." Sir Ayes said.

"And he can copy any Reign, THAT'S NOT FAIR!!" Sir Wey shouted in tantrum.

"Are you certain about this, Blue, you better not be lying in front of me." Sir Ayes asked in anger.

"I would never, if you want, I can call the others who fought him!" I said in desperation in thought of losing Sir Ayes' trust.

"No, it's fine, sorry I doubted you, if it's you then, I trust you." Sir Ayes said with his eyes glared at me.

"This Alex may be trouble for us, you found a very dangerous fellow, Blue." Sir Ayes said.

Well, I do wish he is, but what he said to me, is not trouble, he have different answer to all this Dotun mess, or that's what he wants to find out, despite this, I should help Alex as well, but I can't let the Reign Corp know, especially Sir Ayes, there's only one thing I haven't said to Sir Ayes, it's the fact that Alex is a Cyborg, I don't know when and how he got that, but it's the part that absorbs Reign and copies it.

Where's Ma'am Rea though?

"Sir Ayes, may I ask where Miss Rea is?" I humbly asked.

"She took on another lab on her own again, why'd you asked?" Sir Ayes said.

"She's always quick witted." Sir Wey said.

"I was just thinking if she can also do the same thing, like copy other Reign." I said.

If she can do it too, then she'll be the opponent to match Alex, I'm lucky she's not here to know Alex's existence.

"I don't know for sure, by the way, where is this Alex is now?" Sir Ayes asked.

"The last I saw him, he's on S-13 Branch." I said.

....

"Sh*t!!" Sir Ayes shouted.

"What's wrong Ayes??" Sir Wey asked.

"Rea might encounter this Alex, She's in Dotun Bridge, near S-13 Branch, Wey, go find her, if you did, take her and run, if you see her in trouble, assist her, don't let this Alex copy your Reign, GO!!" Sir Ayes commanded.

"This Alex is gonna be a real pain for us if he got Rea's Reign, you go as well, Blue, don't let this chance be wasted, get rid of Alex, in other words, kill him, if you do, I'll consider you one of us, this is a special mission only for you, Go!!" Sir Ayes ordered.

"Yes, sir!" I said.

Kill him, I don't know if I can, both physically and mentally, he's my dear underclassmen and my former boss, but I can't let Sir Ayes lose my trust, I have to survive this wretched city first, if I have to fight Alex, I will, but first, I have to fix this uneasiness that Alex gave me back on S-13 Branch.

I run out quickly, and followed Sir Wey.

"Hey, miss Blue, you're coming too?" Sir Ayes asked.

"Yes, but I'm not in any position to be called miss though." I said.

"Hahaha, don't worry about that too much, let's go!!" He said.

Rea's POV

I just left the base and teleported myself to the Dotun bridge, there's a small lab there where they put a portion of Reigners, but it's heavily guarded, which is very suspicious.

I'm Rea, I might be a former model, but I'm a full time Otaku, this Dotun Incident really gave shine to us Otakus, since it gave us powers and all.

Nobody knows I'm an Otaku and nobody knows what the true concept of my Reign.

It really is a dream come true for me, because I have a Reality Reign, I can basically do whatever I want, I can block, attack, teleport, but I can only teleport to a place I've already visited and near me, and I can also hallucinate others too.

I can't control what the hallucinations are, it triggers fear, PTSD, past memories, and traumas, I know because I tried it on myself, it's full sh*t but i handled it perfectly.

I can also create things, shape them into whatever I want, isn't my Reign too awesome?

I'm about to kill a lot of soldiers here, yet I don't feel anything, no sympathy or fear or whatever.

I think I became heartless the moment I became Otaku or something, that's when I found out the true nature of this world, when I first killed somebody, I felt scared for a moment, and after that, I never felt it again after I killed another, it's like I was made for this.

I met Ayes and Wey when they saw me killed all my make up artist using my Reign, those artist always talk behind my back anyways, all the time, they just want my money, so I took their heads after I gained a good grasp of my Reign.

Ayes and Wey never pressured me, and helped me get back up again, and they're both and Otakus as well.

I feel like an edgy character in a manga, with a gangs of good friends in arms.

But enough about me, before I stepped in to this soldiers, I used my Reign to conceal myself, I'm invisible to be precise, I stopped in the middle of all of them unnoticed.

I used my hallucinations to the soldiers, and all of them fell down on the ground flat.

God I'm OP.

I used my Reign to form multiple blades and was about to kill them but someone from my right hit me with Ice blast.

Ayes?

No, Ayes doesn't have that kind of sloppy Ice, and he doesn't have the balls to hit me, I'll take his arm in return, they'll do the same too if that happens to them, that's how we play.

I used my Reign to break the ice.

It's a hooded man, I stood up and face him.

"You're a feisty one." I said.

And he charged at me, he's a fool.

I used my hallucinations and put him down, wow, what a let down.

I created a blade using my Reign and was about to kill him, but his right hand just warped.

Wait the warping is red, did he absorb my Reign?!

My Reign is colored red, so it is.

And he stood back up.

"This a pretty nifty trick, Reality Reign." He said.

No way, how'd he know, his eye, he's a Cyborg?!!

Then how?!!

Alex POV

I was pretty surprised Ma'am Stacia can pull off something like that, still, I wished she'd be more smart than this, I have to get her out of that group immediately.

Even worst, she's part of that group that started all this mess, the Reign Corp.

The S-13 Branch increased their defense after the last attack, after Miss Stacia left, I had to deal with them, but I didn't fight back, their guns don't affect me, since I heal up pretty quickly, then they stopped and asked me why I'm not fight back despite I'm affects ked Reigner, then I just said.

"Don't let the Reigners inside get taken by them, they're stronger than all of you here." Then left the vicinity.

I really missed the S-13 Branch, but it was half destroyed now, they're still using the secret lab underneath so that's good.

I remembered that there's a secret lab near Dotun bridge, if I'm not mistaken.

Of course, I ran over there quickly to look if there's some Reigners there, then take in all of the Reigners.

I just caught a glimpse of what's inside while working in S-13 Branch back in the days, that lab supports S-13 Branch to advance to S level.

In order to advance from a certain level of Scope branch to S level, they must have at least 10 connections to other branch, then they have to be 100 story building, lastly, they must impress Mr.Scope with their innovative products.

When I got there, I saw a lot of soldiers.

Why would they put a lot of soldiers there that's a small lab?

(Hint hint, The Trix)

Then a lady walk up in the middle of all of them, is she their boss?

The other soldiers didn't notice her, maybe I'm right?

The lady lifts her hand then puts it down.

After that, all the soldiers fell down, how'd that happen?!

I saw her conjured a multiple blades and about to kill them.

Of course, I rushed in after that, since I'm a bit far to the east of it, so I shoot my Ice Reign like a beam to her.

It hit her, but she breaks it swiftly, after that, she stood up, the ice breaks like glasses, and it's like a chain reaction, what's her Reign anyway?

"You're a feisty one." She said with her red eyes glowing.

What?

I have to take her down quickly or things'll get ugly, that's on my mind atleast.

I rushed at her, I was suppose to seal her with Ice, but after that she puts her hands up in front of me.

And everything around me have gone dark, some of them are red streams, and I saw a big eyes that is glaring at me.

"What's that? Where am I? Who am I?"

Wait, what am I saying?

Huh, my right arm turned back to normal, then I got transported to another place, a village, I saw a little girl.

"You're weak, Alex."

After that, I used my full might to try and absorb everything around me using my right arm, even though I saw my right arm like normal, I did it anyways, because my head's getting hazy every second.

Everything shattered like glasses and warped to my right hand.

I was lying down on the ground?

But I was just standing back then?

The lady had a blade in her hand, I think she's about to kill me, but sorry I took your trick.

"Absorbed"

• Blue Bomb

• Steel Arm

• Lava Control

• Wind Manipulation

• Pyrokenesis

• Reality Manipulation

What?

She can bend reality, well, that's how she knock all those soldiers, with that illusions, and her blade came from her Reign too.

"What a nifty trick, Reality Reign." I said.

"So you're a Cyborg all along, but that won't save you again." She said.

"Who are you!?" I asked.

"That's not worth telling you!!" She said.

And her hand glow red, and a blast appeared, I tried using her Reign, if this can really control reality, then it can do anything.

Of course, I used Reality Reign to stop that blast, I commanded the Reign to stop that blast, is that how it works?

Her attack shattered.

"No way!!?" She said in shock.

"How'd you like that?" I said.

"How can you use my?..." She said and just realized it already.

She saw my right hand absorbed it, so she must've found out about it, she's smart.

"Damn, just where the hell did you came from!?" She asked.

"Hmm, from the sky." I said.

"Are you making fun of me?!" She asked.

Well I'm not lying, I fell from the lab, that's technically falling from the sky.

"Well let's end this." I said.

"So we think alike huh?" She said mockingly.

Well not really but.

I have to stop her, but I can't kill her, I will have to knock her unconscious.

"TAKE THIS!!" She said.

"I'll gladly!" I said.

I used the full power of Reality Reign and blasted the command to knock her asleep.

Her Reign shattered, is mine stronger?

But she's the original, does my Reign copy amplified everything I copy?

"What!!?" She said, surprised at what just unfolded, the attack hit her.

She got knocked unconscious, well that's that.

I have to write that down, my right hand can amplify any Reign it absorbs.

If that's the case then, I am really lucky I got this, thanks doctor Inium.

I walk to her side, I think I recognize her.

It's Rea Lily!!

She's the top model in Lanima Region.

How'd she get here, she must've got her Reign when she have a job in Dotun City.

I lift her up, and took her to the place where I kept every Reigner I saved back then, in my old, ruined apartment.

She's quite heavy despite the fact that I have super soldier serum and Cyborg arms.

While walking, tremor just started, and the area around me got shadowed, when I looked up, a flying beast just landed in a building and destroyed it.

It's huge, what the heck is it?!

And it landed near me after destroying a building, Damn, can I fight that?

I'm too small, no wait, I have multiple Reign, I can do this!!

I run towards it after I put Rea on the ground safely.

I used my ice Reign to blast it and get its attention, it hit, it looked at me.

Holy crap, I never seen anything so hideous before, it's like an eagle, bull and octopus at the same time, it's creepy.

It uses one of its tentacles and hits me with it, it's so powerful, Shockwave almost tear up another building.

"HEY HEY, DOTUN CITY IS A MESS ALREADY, AND YOU'RE ADDING ANOTHER!!" I shouted at it.

After that, of course, it attacked me, does it understand me?

It uses its feet to try stomping me, but I dodged it while using Wind Manipulation to maneuver around, it's easier to use it this way, I blast Wind Manipulation through my right leg.

After I had my ground I used Blue Bomb and blast it to the head, it was damaged, it screamed like a dying pig.

It used its head to poke me with its beak, of course, I dodged that, but the floor smashed to bits, and it sounded like a pure steel feel off of the ground 20 meters high.

I used my Ice Reign to slice its neck, it's shallow, it screamed even more, then I used my fire Reign to toast it, I think it might be easier to kill it that way.

I used Fire Manipulation to increase the heat of the fire Reign.

And it knocked over, I think it's dead.

This is really something inhumane, where did this come from?

Is this another of the effects of the Dotun Incident?

I felt another earthquake on the east, when I looked over, the earth rise up, that's where I put Miss Rea!

I need to hurry.

When I got there, I saw a very big earth golem, you normally see golem in game, but this is so real!!

The golem is about to hit me with its left arm.

I used my full might to try controlling it's earth body, it barely pushed back, The ground shattered, I was pushed back more than I pushed him.

I need to think quick, What are the earth's weakness?!!

Whatever!!

I'll use the Reality Reign to smash it.

"HAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" I shouted.

It's body cracked!

Did it work?

And it shattered in to a pile of rubble, the rubble scattered, and some of them are about to fall to us.

I need to hurry at Miss Rea's side to shield her, I can't let her die yet, at least not like this.

I used Reality Reign to block all the smashed rubble, everything shook.

Wew!!

That's tiring, the bird monster is fast and strong, while the golem is hard to crack.

But where did this monsters came from, it must've mutated all the animals and other things, Cosmic Energy, it's a scary element.

After I took a break, Miss Rea woke up.

"You took a good sleep." I enthusiastically said.

"Where am I!?" She said.

"Relax, we're still in Dotun City, only in District 13." I said.

(District is the Avenue of Dotun City, it's a bit bigger than a normal Highway)

She stood up on guard.

"Listen, I'm not fighting you, I'm too tired dealing with this guys." I said and pointed and the monsters' corpse.

"What in the hell are those!!?" She asked.

"Dunno, they just appeared out of nowhere, of course I fought back." I said.

"You protected me?" She asked.

"Well, yeah, your a model, I can't let you die here, plus..." While I said that she interrupted.

"I'm not a model anymore." She said.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"I don't intend on going back on those hellish job." She said.

"So you're in a rough spot back then too, huh?" I said.

"I don't wanna talk about it." She said.

"Hohoo." I mumbled.

Rea's POV

Damn it, out of all the things that could happen, this guy, came out of nowhere, he didn't just found out about my Reign, he also took my them, he absorbed it using his Cyborg arm, and might've copied it, but that kind of technology should've been made supposedly 10 years in the future, Reign is hard to analyse in the first place anyway.

Did someone predicted this, or they're just lucky in making this?

Anyways, now I'm not the only one who knows the full concept of my Reign, but also this guy too, and another thing, he's with me, in a destroyed building with only one way in and out, it's raining outside and it's night after all things, it'll be hard to see with or without flash light, so I can't just leave here, I can use my Reign to make one but,, there's no worst thing than having a cold, I can't play my games, can't watch an*me, can't read books, and more, I have to stay in the bed for weeks or worst months.

"What should I call you, btw?" He asked.

"Why would I answer that? Do whatever you want!" I said in spite.

"Well, if you're thinking that I'm going to be boasting about my Reigns, and also about your Reign, your mistaken, I don't do that sort of stuff, it's tiring, and also, it's embarrassing." He said while blushing.

Is he a girl or something, man up dude.

"Then what's your name, kid?" I asked.

"Now you're asking mine? And FYI I'm not a kid, I'm 28 now for crying out loud." He said.

"Well I can't just keep calling you that, so you had a nickname of your own?" I asked.

"Just Alex is fine." He said uneasily.

Well I can't just call him you, your, and it's more convenient to know this bastards name since he got my Reign, I will have to tell this to the others.

"So, your model days are this bad?" Alex asked.

Bad, not bad, worst, I never enjoyed that lifestyle, I was forced to do that by my mom, dad died when I was 12, I don't know him really well, my mom always pressures me, I never.....

I'm crying?

Please stop! I can't let him see this! This is humiliating enough!

"You know crying helps us relieve stress every now and then, you know?" Alex said.

"ShuD aPp!!" I shouted while still crying.

Alex POV

After my talk to Miss Rea, I lied on the ground to rest, Miss Rea did so too, we need to wait for this rain to stop, it's really coming down.

I can just use my Reality Reign but I don't know if I can right now, I'm a bit tired.

I thought of a way, for us Reigners to be useful, those monsters pop up after us, and other loves destroying structures, maybe if we help exterminate those things then...

"Hey, Alex." Miss Rea said, still not asleep.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Tell me more about yourself, you know me pretty well, since I'm a model." She said.

"What's this pep talk?" I asked.

"Oh shut up and answer!!" She yelled.

"There's really nothing so special about my life, I wake up, I go to work, I eat, I do my hobbies every now and then, I sleep, you could say that everything's pretty normal in my life." I said, I love telling this kind of things to people.

"Huh, that's pretty boring don't you think?" She asked.

"I didn't really mind though, I never really thought of doing something crazy, and I prefer that kind of lifestyle." I said.

"Is there anything eventful happened in you life?" She asked.

She's asking me a lot of things, I'll ask her lots later too.

"I never met my dad, my mom never really talked about it, and my mom died when I was 18, I don't have any other relatives that I know other than mom, no siblings, no cousin, no one, just me and my mom." I said.

She's looks pretty curious.

"Anyhow, in my work, in S-13 Branch, I was the Business Manager, I just got promoted right after all this Dotun City shenanigans happen, and that really annoy me, you know?" I said.

"So your life isn't normal, listen to me, you have no dad, no siblings or any blood relatives, you became a BM in your job, you live all by yourself, with no one to turn to, that's not normal." She said.

Yeah you're right, maybe I'm the normal one.

"You're curious about me, huh, did you perhaps, like me?" I asked in a joke way.

"HUH, WHO WOULD LIKE SOMEONE LIKE YOU, YOU BASTARD!!" She said in pure anger.

Yep, she don't like me.

"Well, anyways, how about you? Since you asked me a ton." I said.

"Hey it's nothing... like...." She said realizing she asked too much.

"Don't worry, I'll hear it all out, not like I laughed at situations like these." I said.

Of course she'll be flustered, but why though, is there something in her life that's more miserable than mine?

"I'm.... an.... Otaku." She said.

And I almost laugh.

"YOU BASTARD!! YOU SAID YOU NEVER LAUGHED AT THIS!!" She said.

"Sorry sorry, but that's not the reason why I laughed, AHEM!!' I said and looked serious again.

"You Bastard, anyhow, yes, I'm a full pledged Otaku, in all my life, I kept that hidden to my mom, I never once did tell anyone, other than Ayes and We...." She said and suddenly closed her mouth.

"Ayes?" I asked.

After that she gone back to sleep and never talked to me again.

There's definitely another guy she's talking about.

Anyways, so that'll be the true purpose for us, huh?

Became a fighter that fights those monsters, even though we're living in a modern Era, we still got a fictional monsters lurking around, and then there's us, Reigners.

If I have to do this, I have to make it right, I want to make a change in the world now, not before, but now, I'll tell this to those Lanima Officials, I'm not weak enough to be controlled by them, I now have my own power.

After I woke up in my sleep, Miss Rea's gone.
