It was a common knowledge that the Universe is vast. Some said it was Infinite with many possibilities.
Human colony tried to seek the end of the universe era by era. Never stopping the search for the end. People tend to question why do we need to search for the end. Is it because Human's curiosity that drove them to do such Time-consuming research?
No one knows what drove them hard to do it. Multiple species across the universe made fun of humans because of how stupid they we're. It was really a crazy idea to search for the end, because of how infinitely the universe was.
It was such a shame that even era's had passed. Humans did not even reach the end. Along the way, Some of the Humans gave up and live along with other living species. Trading with their technology to advance the Human livelyhood.
But, That does not meant everybody gave up. Though, Most of the humans gave up in the end.
There was this person who just won't give up. In his history, His Ancestors was the one who came up with the idea of searching the end of the universe. Such foolish yet intriguing idea, However, Such a shame it was a failure.
Ray Phantom, The youngest head of the Phantom family. He was the only heir that was left in the family. He and his dear sister was the only ones who manage the last Explorer.
Explorer is a a large space ship explorer. It was made by the strongest mineral they found along the way. With the help of Alien technologies, The once beat-up explorer transformed into a great space explorer. Unfortunately, There we're few crews left maintaining such overly large-size ship.
Ray sat on the commanders helm. Watching the vast space, All he could see was Infinite dark space. Even they traveled this far, It was really far from reaching the end.
Ray sighed heavily as he question himself.
'Is there really a point on continuing?'
Taking a glance at the people below, They look dull and not really caring wether they reach the end or not. As they also starting to question the same problem.
From his family history, Ray found out that there were many theories about the end. But, the only thing that left was the proof on wether there was an end.
[Commander, We need to resupply our provision soon. We are running out.]
A Purser that manage the supply called Ray through the transmission. Ray rub his forehead as he find the situation bad. But, as a commander he didn't want to worry the crew.
"Okay, We will dock on the nearest port and resupply."
Then he stop the transmitter as he stood up from his seat.
"Everyone, Listen up. Explorer-01 will dock on the nearest living planet to resupply. Navigator, Search for the nearest available planet, Also the danger level should not be past the threat level. As for the others do what you need to do."
"Yes, Commander." The staff saluted as they go back to work.
Ray sat down on his seat as the captain of the ship arrive next to him. The captain is a woman, She wore a lazy outfit that does not fit for a captain for a large ship. She gaze Ray with piercing look.
"Ray, You don't need to bother about commanding them. You could had just made me do it. I'm the captain aren't I?"
Ray shrug as he saw the woman. Arma Detroit, She is a lazy middle-age woman. Her family served Phantom family since the beginning of the exploration. You could say, Arma is Ray and Fay's babysitter.
As for why Ray nonchalantly ignore her it was because he knew that this woman is seriously lazy to do her work. An irresponsible adult.
By the way, Ray is already 19 according to the human calendar.
"Don't worry about it Arma, It was just simple matter there's no need to make fuss about it."
Arma stared at Ray with dead fish eye as he also rolled his eyes. Arma sighed, Scratching her ruffle hair.
"What am I gonna do with you... Okay, The commander say so."
Arma gave up as she really didn't want to make the situation complicate further. She sat on the captain seat watching with Ray.
She put on her eye mask, Making her seat arc as she started to fall asleep. While Ray shook his head. Whispering underneath his breath.
'How lazy is this woman?'
"Shut up, Ray. I can hear you."
Arma mumbled. Rays shrugged.
The ship continue moving without any problem. It was really boring and uneventful. Ray wished Fay can be with him so he can play with her.
Ray's parent didn't die. They just abandoned their responsibilities as a Phantom. They took Fay with them.
Ray remembered her dear little sister back then. She was so cute and beautiful. He really missed her so much, Wishing to meet with her again.
However, Ray knew that when he and Fay parted. He knew that they won't meet up again this life. As he took the responsibility of a Phantom. He can only make his sister as a memory.
Time had passed as they get nearer to their destination.
Ray in the gym hall. Train his body to the utmost limits of a human can handle. Using the gravity-mass that made by alien technology. He can increase the mass of the gravity which Ray was on 200× gravity.
You may think it is impossible for a human to handle such mass right? Yes, it is really impossible to do so. However, With the help of Alien alchemy, Ray purchase vitamins and energy capsule to strengthen the human body. He even hired an alien professor to experiment his body.
It was really risks and stupid idea, but, it seems Ray didn't make mistake hiring that professor. His risk paid up and gave him the power he wanted.
As for why Ray wanted to become strong. It was really simple.
Compared to Aliens out there, Human's are the weakest species on the food chain. Also, Not all aliens are friendly and herbivore. You know what I mean.
To prevent alien attack, Ray needed to be strong. But, It wasn't only ray who became stronger. His crews as well. Though, They aren't strong and optimistic like him.
A 200× gravity can crush a human into particles until nothingness. To withstand such gravity, It really portrayed how tough Ray's body is.
3 hours later. Ray stopped his finger-push-up. He walked out the gravity room. His sweat started sizzling as it vaporize. It was really a frightening scene, Even his regenerative ability is so fast.
Ray received a call from his transmitter.
[Commander, Explorer-01 is approaching it's designated destination in less than 30 minutes.]
Ray took a quick shower before changing to his outfit.
Arriving at the deck, Ray look at the planet where they would arrive.
[BaSl#3344, Civilization Level: 4, Threat: 3, Population: 2 billion, Race: Ahras. A middle-level civilization planet. Planet in good condition. Good for tourist. Too many islands, Fresh air. Not-poluted, Less Crime level. ]
"Good, This should planet should restock our supplies... Arma, Tell the crew we will stay for 3 days before we set out. The crew need some rest."
Ray wanted to tell the crew himself but Arma pinch him. So he let her do it as he sighed.
"Hear that Everyone! The commander gave us a few days of vacation. Isn't it GREAT!?"
""""YEEESSSS!!!"""
Arma shouted on top of her lungs as the crew agreed with her. The dull moment became lively as ever. Everyone has smile on their faces.
Ray shrug. 'These guys, sheesh'
