Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Prologue: Regret

-Brothers and sisters from all nations, we kept our existence hidden for a long time and only reveal ourselves to the public today to announce our dissolution, the organization we kept on this world as deity's, is definitely dissolved- said the masked man wearing a decorated dark military uniform from the organization, the tv then placed the video of the man without sound while other people were discussing it, the man's voice was cold and clear, and the announce was made quick, but the weight of the words mentioned were only known to the people years later. 

-"that broadcast was a shock for humanity but those words are even heavier each year since that day"- said Mike in his mind. He was wearing formal clothes, not the kind of thing he was used to wear, but needed to bear with it, it was about to be his usual clothes in work. 

Mike was the only one paying attention to the TV when they played the video of that dark clothed man, most people act like they don't care, but for ability users, that was a different story. But at the same time, he had certain eyes on him just he couldn't tell from where he was being watched. 

After some minutes a chubby adult came close to him accompanied by a muscular guy in formal clothes, probably his bodyguard. 

-So, you are Alex's grandson, right? is sad to know what happened to him, my condolences- said the chubby man, Mike didn't feel his words sincere, being trained by this world and educated by his mother words, he developed a natural talent to feel the emotions from people. 

-Your words are kind and enough for my grandfather, sir Slades- 

-Well, I can let you work for me as we discussed before; and looking at your physic, you are trained, so it won't be hard for you, I saw your curriculum so you fit right, and your PhySEC ability...- he paused while try to remember his PhySEC ability -...oh! I remember, telekinesis variant, yes yes, I just have the best job position for you, and as a token of my respect for your grandfather I will make an exception so you don't need to take the tests- said the man, like if Mike wouldn't pass some test made from normal people, PhySEC users were naturally gifted with more muscular strength than average people, at least most of them, including Mike. 

They talked for some time, and then the chubby man leaved and Mike followed a secretary for his registry, but Mike still felt a certain gaze on him, just he couldn't just look everywhere trying to find from where they were looking at him and why. 

Just as he finished his registry, he leaved the office and went to the building's exit; he will start working tomorrow after all, but a certain woman stood in his way looking at him, he just wanted to be polite and leave, but then he felt the eyes of the woman looking at him were the same he felt before. The woman was just maybe a little younger than him and wearing casual clothes, she was short hair and had some urban simple style but still exuding an attractive aura. 

-So, you are Mike Blood, right? - she asked him, clearly knowing who he was, Mike couldn't help but think that she was here from the start waiting for him, just that still there was no way of knowing why. 

-...Hi, do you need something I can help you with? - he just tried to be polite and leave when he could, but days later he regretted his words...
