Chapter 6 – A Place To Call Home

After leaving Isabella’s office Luon and his parents walked down the hallway before exiting the area through a series of tubes.

At the end of the tubes he arrived at the terminal that he saw before entering Isabella’s office, many different races were walking on the platform many of which Luon believed to be only legends or stories he had read before.

As Luon began to examine the people on the platform, Kane urged him onwards causing him almost to stumble.

“Keep going, others may not like it when strangers stare at them intently,” replied Kane in a solemn manner.

Kane explains that even though everyone may seem friendly on the surface, some minor discrimination still exists. Different races take specific actions differently, and Kane told Luon that unless he knows more about them, that he shouldn’t bother talking to them as it might offend a few aggressive types.

Kane and Rina led Luon into a large platform with many kinds of people loitering around.

After moments of standing on the platform, a loud horn sound was emitted out of nowhere, and the platform began to descend.

Kane and Rina began to explain a little about themselves.

When he was young, Kane just as he looks was previously a soldier in the front lines against the Inzektors. He specialized in the usage of mechanized soldiers although he may not have been the best he was very proficient in the field.

Mechanized soldiers are about 2 time the size of normal humans, attached with the standard kit consisting of a flight mechanism, a laser sword and a rifle they brought havoc among the battlefield.

This position is slightly above the standard soldier without any specialized training but still an ordinary soldier nonetheless. No matter how good Kane was at being a mechanized soldier he cannot hold a candle towards those who come from the combat division of Nexus University, those people are monstrous.

In a particular mission, he was sent to prevent Inzektors from raiding planets in the Plana solar system.

Kane was designated to the cleanup crew, as the superior individuals were tasked to prevent any more invaders from entering the solar system the squad he led had to fight and save towns from the onslaught of the Inzektors.

As Kane led his small squad to fight the Inzektors on the surface of a particular planet, he noticed an elven village being desecrated by an Inzektor upon arrival.

The majority of the village has already collapsed, and the Inzektor was merely hunting the survivors, his squad angrily charged at the Inzektors realizing the possibility of saving the remaining people.

In the midst of this, he noticed a woman being dealt the coup de grace by an Inzektor and motioned his mech to block the attack.

Kane raised his arms in a block position in the shape of an X, the armor of the mechanized unit wasn’t powerful enough to completely mitigate the blow. He had lost one of his arms from the exchange, however, taking this opportunity Kane maniacally grabbed the lost limb, tossed it at the Inzektor and quickly drew his rifle and fired blowing it up along with the Inzektor.

Tired as he was after evaluating the death of the Inzektor, he began to patch up his injury as Kane turns around to see if the elven person he saved was safe. There he had met Rina, to her this moment made him look devastatingly handsome.

Eventually, Kane and his crew swept the village of their enemies and created a safe zone. When things had calmed down Rina approached the one-armed Kane and thanked him, she then asked if she can join them in the hunt of Inzektors.

She wasn’t a weak elven citizen but a warrior, however, because she had fought for a long duration, her stamina couldn’t keep up almost ending her life during that fight.

Kane and Rina kept reminiscing about their life experiences on the battlefield, but that eventually swayed into romantic stories between the two, Luon at some point led thoughts his astray.

Fortunately, the platform had reached the bottom and stopped a loud horn sound was once again was emitted, and everyone began to leave.

Kane and Rina stopped their story-telling and escorted Luon off the platform saying that they will talk about the rest later on.

After exiting the platform, Luon had reached ground level and out into an open and wholly filled plaza.

Many things were going on, there were booths selling products with hawkers yelling around in an attempt to attract attention, some people enjoying meals in small cafes, street performers doing some fancy tricks, and a giant televised display displaying some kind of battle.

The battle was intense, and it took place within a region with humongous trees and wildlife. Soldiers gallantly charged at the Inzektor which were several times larger than themselves. Using beam swords and rifles, they fought bitterly as the pace of the battle kept going and forth.

All of a sudden a gigantic beetle like Inzektor appeared and started rampaging like a wild buffalo tossing all of the small humanoid soldiers around.

Flying from the sky a group of mechanized soldiers appeared and began to whittle it away using laser rifles.

The colossal Inzektor angrily stopped rampaging at the soldiers on the ground, turned and faced the flying pests, opened its jaws wide and its body greatly expanded. Emitting an eerie sound, it shot a massive energy beam at the airborne unit.

The crew having predicted this dodged as fast as they could, however, one of them lost their ability to fly and began to crash downwards towards the person taking the footage.

The screen began to shake as the person taking the video started to panic. Suddenly the mech stopped and began to float just right above the cameraman mysteriously slowly, and then it gently landed on the ground.

Up on top of the damaged mechanized unit was a devastatingly beautiful woman with a slightly mechanized armament covering only several of her limbs.

Her white hair flew gallantly backward as she faces towards the beetle Inzektor, she took a pose and with hand on the sheath of her sword slashed outwards.

A huge beam in the form of her slash came from the aftermath of her action and in one slice took the monster down.

The colossal Inzektor released a pitiful cry its blood began gushing out of its body gruesomely cause it to appear to be raining green fluids on the camera.

The beauty looked at the camera and smiled, her eyes were covered with a really stylish visor making one imagine what kind of face she had underneath. As she smiled in a small corner of the plaza, a group of people began to make a huge fuss praising how beautiful and amazing she was, adding honorifics to her name or calling her my lady master.

Kane and Rina tapped on Luon shoulder waking him up from his blank state of staring at the screen and motioned onwards towards the direction to their house, the only thing he can recall at that moment was the name of the woman on the screen said by those cheerleading men.

Felia Nightwalker.

Leading Luon away from the plaza Kane and Rina lead him to many twists, and turns s. Eventually, they reached a small, modest-looking 2 story house with a very barren but clean atmosphere.

Luon and his parents walked towards the house and Kane opened the door by hovering his BMPU wristwatch over the display panel next to it. With a click, the door slid left, and they entered inside.

After entering the house, Luon felt a slight nostalgia despite this being his first time inside. The simulations were very accurate to the point it grabbed the very essence of the Feng shui of a house and replicated it with many different layouts.

Apparently, after giving birth to Luon, the house was evaluated by a crew of engineers who recorded the structure of the house and inputted it into the system allowing the candidates feel more welcome when going to their home for the first time.

As Luon stood there stupefied, his parents began to guide him inside instead of letting him block the doorway staring blankly.

The first thing Luon’s parents did was guide Luon around the premises.

It was a simple 2 story house with the sleeping quarters on the second floor, and the first had the standard living room, dining room, kitchen except for the bathroom which is on both stories.

After taking a look around the house, Rina told Luon to wash up before having some dinner as the smell from the liquid used for the hibernation period was still lingering around him. She merely grabbed him and tossed him into the bathroom and a few seconds later tossed a few garments to wear after he finished his bath on top of him.

Luon exited the bath feeling refreshed, the experience wasn’t like your standard bath in a typical household found in the modern times he experienced, it was quite unique. It felt more like spending the day at spa or salon rather than a bathtub.

What was more surprising was his appearance in the mirror when he was observing himself in his birthday suit. Luon couldn’t really tell from the clothes he was wearing when he was being incubated, but now he can see a very slender youth with a minor outline of some muscular structure in the mirror.

Apparently, despite being incubated, he somehow obtained muscles without any exercise at all. Surprised at his physical fitness he had swung his hands around like a martial artist while not wearing any clothes, embarrassed at his actions after looking himself in the mirror he silently took a bath.

His actions couldn’t be helped after all being the bookworm that he was in his first life simulation he didn’t have any experience of having real muscles.

After the bath Luon walked towards to dining room where his parents had just set up the meal and sat down with them to enjoy their first meal together.

Luon and his parents had many things to catch up with, and every single action was very similar to Luon as he had experienced it many times in simulation.

Kanes hearty laugh as he drank wine and alcoholic beverages wildly, his mother Rina smiling slightly and pouring him drinks in harmony. Luon quietly sat aside listening while drinking some carbonated soda and happily spent his time with his loving family.

After the dinner with his parents, Luon went to his room, it was already night and today had truly been a shock to him.

There were so many things that happen to him today, he had awoken from a deep sleep, he met his parents for the first time, an epic battle between Inzektors and members from the Alliance was on a floating television, and many new and exciting technologies that evolved from their previous counterpart.

For example, a public transit system is now based on tubes and large elevators removing the need for cars, wasting materials for private transportation, or floating displays being moved by magical forces instead of being physically anchored to a wall, energy rifles and swords as well as mechanized units replacing the slow-paced tanks of the past.

And the despite all of this the day was still not over, he recalled what the beauty Isabella had told him to do once he had arrived home safely.

He turned and stared at his BMPU wristwatch – and dead in the middle of the night initiated the startup sequence.
