Chereads / Rise of Galactic Sovereign / Volume 0 : Prologue

Volume 0 : Prologue

Date: 10/4 / 2036

Location: Labcon manufacturing limited, space station of Igrius planet.

10 lightyears away from  Earth, closer to Igrius' planet. A Labcon manufacturing company where custom spaceships, prosthetic limbs, and humanoids were designed. Labcon Manufacturing was based on the orbit of the planet Igrius.

Today was Labcon's day off, but guard dogs and drones could be seen patrolling without any supervision from mortals.

All of a sudden, a red alarm rang throughout the space station. It must be a thief who was trying to oversmart and thought poorly of the security of Labcon.

→Mister intruder, Go back where you belong or we'll throw the robot dogs at you.← The latest artificial intelligence, warned the intruder. The programmer of this A.i gave  special attention towards her looks and sound.

On the infrared CCTV cameras, it captured a man covered in a mask with a sword and  a backpack carrying on his back. His appearance was not appealing as his right arm was ripped off, and his right eye didn't match his left.  The man was 6 feet tall and skinny. Due to malnutrition,  Unknown didn't have fat on his body, yet he had already vandalised 5 guard dogs alone. 

√Missiles will be launched in 2 seconds.√  A.I finished saying  that, a rain of small missiles launched towards him. 

The man smiled, running in the opposite direction of the missile.  Perhaps the man wasn't aware that the missile had an infrared camera and GPS transmitter. 

"Freya, How many seconds do you need to hack this system?" The man said on the intercom.

√ 30 seconds more to access this.√ A pleasant female voice echoed in his ear. 

He stopped in the middle of the corridor and pushed a button on his wrist-watch.

Out of blue, a magnetic field shield surrounded his body and deflected all of the missiles.

*Boom*

They exploded in the opposite direction.

"Your technology is weak." The man insulted the labcon tech.

√System is under my control now. Let's dance, sweet pea.√ Freya said in an excited voice as she hacked the Labcon system. Freya was an artificial intelligence but she was sentient. So she could make any critical decisions on behalf of his owner.

Unknown Pandora, who stopped midway as he looked at his dull face in the mirror. 

For the past 300 days ( depending on the planet revolution, a day might have 40 hours , or less than 18 hours),  Unknown's life was miserable with no support or any income. His weary eyes and those heavy dark circles under his tan skin after sleepless nights.

√You still look like you're in your 30s, despite being an old man.√ Freya complimented him.

"You nag too much. Can't you shut up for a minute?" 

√Humph!√  After that Freya didn't say anything further.

A few minutes later, he finally arrived at the biggest treasure of Labcon, which was not a high-tech gadget or humanoid. 

"Freya opens the door." 

√Who needs me now?√ If Freya had a face, maybe she'd snicker at the man now.

Suddenly, his artificial eye flickered a little, and a throbbing pain comes  from the stinging he got from the right hemisphere of his  brain. For a few seconds, his vision became blurry, which made his feet stumble on the ground. 

*Thud*

"Unknown Pandora 

Age - Xx

Species: Hybrid, (Kepler and Wrytan) 

Gender: - Male

Fighter rank- Xx

Trait: - Xx

Your blood pressure is increasing, your  heart rate is  increasing, and your breathing is low." A holographic image appeared in front of Unknown Pandora  but he could hardly read it.

Unknown Pandora  took a deep breath to calm his emotion and mustered his strength to stand up on his feet again.

→Sweet pea, are you alright?←

Unknown pondered.'Do I feel she cares about me? Naah!  It must be my imagination.' 

He entered behind the door, which was opened by Freya.

√You are needy!√ Freya's tone had a hint of mocking. 

He  didn't say anything to spoil her mood. 

Suddenly, Nitrous Oxide launched into the room. Basically, laughing gas that could paralyse any living being's movement.

"Fools!" Unknown mocked under his breath. Besides, he had a mask, so the gases would not do any harm to him.

When the gases moved away, Unknown saw that the lab was empty.  The lab designs were simple yet neat and tidy. Someone could say that the lab was cleaned frequently.

"Hello doctor, how is your health now?" Unknown Pandora greeted the doctor politely. 

He continued and gazed at  where a ray of light was coming through.

"Doctor Dan, you have a triple degree in surgeon in implantation and cybernetics. A genius who had never been born before." Many wonder why Unknown was talking to himself in an empty room.

The cabin was inside the room, but it was under the ultra-transparent nanotextured glass. In other words, invisible glass that nobody could see.  Unknown knew there was another layer of magnetic field shield inside the lab as the doctor was too puny. 

"You, what do you want, cripple? " A voice echoed in the lab. 

"I need your help doctor."  His was hoarse, yet somebody could feel the helplessness in it.  Unknown needed his help to execute the big plan. 

"I don't help cripples and thieves." Doctor Dan refused it.  He glanced at the man and took out a data collector machine  that passed through his body. 

→ Warning! High radiation is emitted from the stranger. Warning!←  Doctor Dan mouth opened in awe, but he still held his curiosity under his thick face. 

Doctor Dan pressed a red button, all of a sudden an invisible cabin appeared in front of Augustya's eyes. He seemed to be in 70's and  sitting on the yellow chair.

"Go away, you prick, or I will evaporate you."   

Unknown Pandora widened his lips a little as he managed to create curiosity in him. Pleasing the doctor was like  finding a wormhole. A stable wormhole was seldom in the current galaxy. 

"You should listen first."  He said, clenched his fist to control his anger.

"Sigh! You Pluto, don't disturb my precious time." Doctor sneered. 

"I have a gift for you that may please you."

He put the gift on the ground and sat down on the nearest chair. He knew doctor Dan was the only guy in the galaxy who could help him to rejuvenate his cell again and find another stable wormhole.

[A few minutes later. ]

The narcissist Doctor Dan was pleased with the gift and decided  to help him. The gift was worth more than 6 million sols.

"So you want me to implant the latest eye model and implant a new right arm for you."  The doctor asked in a solemn voice.

Unknown nodded his head. 

"You can go to a different hospital. Why did you come here?"  Dan was perplexed by the current behaviour of the stranger.

There were many hospitals and labs that provided you with anything you desired. If you wanted to become a cybernetic soldier, they would take off your weak  arm and give  you hyper strong arms the way you wanted at a reasonable price. 

"Doc, If I told you I am from the future. Would you believe this?" Unknown asked, lying down on the medical chair. 

"If you tell me you are the reincarnation of a pig. I might believe it."

"°...°"

"I have two degrees in psychology: one in counselling therapy and another in

psychiatry. " The doctor said with a big grin.

"Perhaps, you will enjoy my story about a naive and stupid boy   who turned into a big sovereign that destroyed half of the galaxy." 

'Reincarnating as a pig was a good notion,' Doctor Dan thought. 

"It all started when a young and naive prince unconsciously  killed his  own brother and  decided to take vengeance for that." 

(....)

"So, you are saying you are from the great Kepler species?" 

Unknown blinked his eyes. 

"Jackpot!! "  The doctor rubbed his hands together and looked at the man from a different angle. 

"I really envy Kepler, especially Viktor." 

→See, someone likes your species well.←

Unknown was overwhelmed a  little when he praised his species. Majority of the species and humanoid, Igrius despised them.

"Can you show me your matter manipulation technique ?"

"No." 

"I will give you a 50% discount." 

→Show show!  A beggar can't be a chooser.←

Unknown manifested a black guey from his hand and shaped it into a small circle from his palm.

"Wow!"
