The Mundo is just like the Earth's parallel world but wasn't. The landmasses and where the lands should be are the same, but the countries are vastly different.
On Earth, the Philippines became the Trestrellasol Country. Then Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao became Es, Tre, and Lla big islands, and he is now on Es Island. However, because the major cities were transformed into Stories, a fused dungeon with reality, the entire Metro Canami was divided into different Stories, just like the Earth's Metro Manila's cities.
The Shelter Sun was then constructed near Mt. Bombon, which he recognized as Earth's Taal Volcano, with the intention of reclaiming the cities one by one. But they weren't in a hurry because they knew the Stories wouldn't expand and that all they had to worry about was the monthly wave of Deviants.
The Deviants can sense the density of the Spark, so a Shelter is like a light bulb in a dark room, according to the records.
As a result, the wave cannot be avoided and must instead be defended. However, they realized that by reducing the Deviant counts earlier around the Shelter, they could delay the arrival of the wave or even reduce the difficulty.
The Pioneers are assigned tasks twice a month to complete these, and Team Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Omega are sent further away to hunt the stronger ones.
Cydrix was a member of Team Omega for the first five months, voluntarily serving on the frontlines. He was gaining experience until he was deemed capable of going on a solo assassination mission.
The Team Omega and the government agree on the reasons that the Team Omega will be weaker if Cydrix is constantly assisting them in cleansing the Spark within the Deviants, reducing them to mere wild beasts like sheep ready to be slaughtered.
And the government requires fast, reliable, and accurate data from time to time and can begin gathering information in the nearest B Level Story. Using his nullity ability in the Stories from F Level to C Level Story is judged effective, and thus he is the one and the only person who is perfectly fit for the job.
Even though everyone in the world has preserved and maintained a few of the most recent technologies from a bygone era, updated them, and tinkered with them in accordance with the new era. The number of satellites that float in space that monitor the planet while also providing connectivity to other parts of the world is decreasing over time.
It was predicted that the last human-made satellite would perish within four years due to the law of physics, which states that gravity is drawing them closer and closer to the atmosphere and that they will eventually burn to crumbs before crashes on the world's surface.
That is the most calculated event that will occur under the existence of the Spark affecting the satellites; after all, it was previously established that the Spark is saturated and filtered radiation from the supernova explosion. This means that the satellites that survived the disturbance in outer space are still constantly being affected by the raw radiation without being detected.
Every country is fighting not only for survival but also for communication with other peoples; they do not want their eyes on the entire world to be closed and reduced to mere land territories.
After all, humans are genetically social animals.
And they are already aware of the importance of the 'Eyes of the Sky,' and they must maintain that sovereignty against the flying Deviants, even if only one satellite remains.
That is why, after surviving the ETEE, or "Eight Test of Extinction Era," humanity's first goal was to return to the first step to reach the sea of stars.
Cydrix's house was in the Military and Government District on the northeast side, but it was the first house visible after entering the Shelter Sun's east gate. This district houses soldiers as well as government employees.
The school is located on the southwest side of the Seeker's District, close to the Public District, which serves as the Shelter's hub.
Seeker's District has the most commercial buildings, which sell everything from food to necessities.
The Public District is the location of all government buildings related to all departments. Then, to the southeast, is the Adventurer's District, which is closest to the mountains and forests. While the northwest is exclusive to Pioneers as their district because the former location of the Metro Canami is to the north of the Shelter.
A two-way road divides all of the districts into four squares within a larger square, which is the shape of the Shelter Sun in the god's eyes.
The Shelter Sun is already protecting hundreds of thousands of people in the ten years since its inception in the year 1 FE when it was only a village made up of soldiers, government officials, and few refugees.
And now they're expanding by erecting outer circular walls to prepare and protect the soon-to-be crop fields, which will provide a new source of food in the future aside from foraging, hunting, and the monthly Deviants wave.
In terms of transportation, electricity is sustained but not widely supported as the primary source of energy because the Spark causes it to be more destructive and uncontrollable than in the past.
After two years of testing, they were able to use the Spark Ores as a new source of energy to power the things that previously required electricity. As a result, they did not need to construct additional facilities to generate electricity, but that does not mean they will disregard it now. They believe that they will require the new destructive power of electricity sooner rather than later.
As a result, cars continue to exist, even other gadgets, but they have become more futuristic with the help of a new technology known as Sensory Holography using the Spark within the body to control the Hologram that is powered by Spark.
Cydrix, the Void, on the other hand, has an eighty-five to one-meter diameter field of nullity under his control. He couldn't use the new technologies, so he had to rely on an age-old mode of transportation, the bicycle. Of course, the smartphone has been built differently for communication, with careful studies that fit for Cydrix usage.
On his way back home, using the Void's exclusive black-painted road with a width of three meters, he purchased some Curio Fruits, which returned to but above the usual fruits of the bygone era once they entered his field.
Because the public was well aware of this, every store stocked two meters long trolleys, and two meters long tongs exclusively for Cydrix.
On his first day of high school, these store owners feared him and wouldn't dare to sell anything until one owner was brave enough to do so, and then he used his brain to sell things to Cydrix, after all, the customer is still a customer, and he has a connection to the government.
Despite being aware of what is going on in his mind, Cydrix is unconcerned. It's fine as long as the owner didn't do anything dangerous to him or use his identity indiscriminately to his advantage.
And the Curio Fruits he purchased just now are for checking something.
That his ability to disperse Spark within everything in the world is currently stopped while being a lie at the same time. If no one knows about it, there's no problem for him.
However, as the Void has made public, it is making his butthole contracts. He knows that if it's known, he's screwed up, and the government might turn their back on him, and most importantly, he'll lose the protection of being feared.
After reaching home, he went straight into his room and re-reads the notification logs that blew his mind into existence's denial, from space travel till his transmigration, to see if he can devise some way to continue accumulating Spark temporarily for another two months at most.
"Or I should apply to get a one-month mission instead? Who knows what will happen in these 30 days..." He murmurs while contemplating what to do. After two minutes of pondering, with doubts within his life in these past years, he chose to do a mission this time to avoid accidents that can lead to disaster. For his life, that's it.
Picking up his phone, he contacted the Headquarters asking about the two missions that required his presence.
The fact that he is an Ex-Sergeant for two years now, with his absence in the frontline. The other teams are working harder to eliminate the Deviants around the Shelter and the Deviants wave.
But he still needed to make a move now and then. And now is the time to act because he is in a pinch.
"Hello, my dear! What's brings you to call me at this kind of time? I missed you so much, you know?~ And how's the school?" A woman's voice with sweetness resounded in his ear to seduce him, again.
Cydrix rolls his eyes and replied expressionless, "Ma'am, don't tease me. I'm a repeater for the second time and everyone knows what's my status."
"C'mon~ You're still a kid! Enjoy your time and got some relaxation! I bet that your whole body is already too soft now... Why don't you come over to my house and I'll accompany you to do some exercises, what do you think?~"
He knows what the woman is hinting him at, but decided to refuse. "I'll pas-... Hmm... I can do that if you gave me some briefings about the two missions that I need to complete within this year, ma'am..." But changed his mind after weighing his current situation. He has to hide for at least one month.
"Yes! I'll pick yo-. Wait. What did you say!? How many times do I need to tell you that you're still a kid! Don't think too much about the missions and shits! Your students here can team up to do that missions too! You have already done so much for the Shelter and the whole world even though your achievements weren't publicly announced! C'mon~ I'll pick you up now and we will do some refreshments!"
"Bu-"
"No more buts! I'm on my way! And don't fucking move away from your room!"
The woman cuts the phone call without waiting for him to object. He was left stunned, staring at his phone, at how thirsty the woman is. But then a word caught his attention, causing him to pause for two seconds before reacting. "How did she knows that I'm in my room?... Fuck!? Don't tell me they put surveillance in here!? Goddammit, Nixie!!!"
Cydrix hurriedly closed the black curtains to block the sunlight, making his room darker, and turns on his phone's flashlight, flashing it left and right quickly. "I'll bet the fucking whole Shelter Sun that she will call her mates! Shit! Shit! Shit!"
He is aiming for the reflection of light from the camera lenses that will blink in the darkroom; with his 50/50 vision, he can react to even the smallest reflection within fifty meters of his sight, including his peripheral vision.
With the MSAIA0's assistance in showing and reminding him of his statuses, he improved faster than any other High Human.
"These nymphos are too much!... Wait... What the fuck I'm doing!? I better ran away first and clean up the cameras later! Shit! They only need 5 minutes at most to get here from the Public district!"
With that, he flips open the wall window and employs the Snow Inch Skipping movement technique. With the use of Spark, each step is equivalent to ten steps. However, no one knows that he can control his Soul Energy after two years of secret training after transmigrating. He referred to this Soul Energy as "Prana."
As a result, his Snow Inch Skipping is far superior to the others, with a maximum of twenty-five steps in each step, but he is the only one who is aware of it. To his comrades and the government, his Snow Inch Skipping technique is only 2% of the technique.
After mastering his Prana, MSAIA0 responded to his question by saying that Soul Energies are second only to Dark Energy, followed by Spiritual Energies such as the Spark, Mana, and other energies that the worlds breathe out.
He runs away from the eastern gate without greeting the guards, prioritizing saving his sex life from being exhausted earlier. He was like a Flash in a certain story to the High Human guards who reacted when they noticed his shadow passing by.
They drew their iron swords to pursue the unknown person, but before they could perform the basic Snow Inch Skipping, the first public known movement technique, a piece of paper appeared in their line of sight, dancing in the breeze towards them.
One guard reaches out his hand to grab it, but another person appears beside him and grabs the paper instead.
The said guard subconsciously reacted by jumping away and slashing with his sword at the person who appeared out of nowhere, but stops in midway and sweats profusely after realizing who she was, and he hurriedly returned to his spot as if nothing had happened.
A woman with black long hair wearing a black frilly dress with matching black leggings and black high heels leads her team, which also wears frilly dresses but in different designs and colors, as she reads the content on the piece of paper for them to know.
"I, the Light Assassin Master, decided to cleanse the dirty beasts in the east with righteousness and justice in my hands because the school is boring! No! crossed that out! Goddammit! There are men around you all, they are big, and each of them is a man, a Man, a fucking MAN! Then why me!? A kid!? Sheeesh! Since you all scared the kid away, he will hide for at most one month first to dispel his fear within his heart towards you all his dearestessessessessess~ Adios, mi amores!~ Muah~ See you in two months!~ PS. You all, big sisters are too many for me, so excessive 'ess' suffixes are necessary! "
