"Finally…. Finished." Taking a few steps back, I took a long glance at the results of my hard work. Located on the side of the small, concrete dome that surrounded the crypt area, a tiny speck of dense runes and characters marked the very first day of the Boruta's sanctuary. But those few steps to the back were more than enough to put me in the right perspective. Comparing the small bit of those meaningless runes with the entire surface of the dome made it clear, that if I wanted to truly fill the…-

"The military is screening us and that investment of yours." Dropping the bomb as soon as I entered the room, the young master of Baskar family could barely be bothered to look away from the screen of his computer. Looking around before answering, I could only sigh. The set-up that filled this room with cables and other forms of electrical appliances was exactly what my lazy self always dreamed off. From an insanely powerful main unit hung from the ceiling in the very middle of the room, through three…

"What the fuck are you doing? Drop that beer and get back to fucking work!" Surrounded by something that could only be described as chaos, I had no other choice to but to accept how wicked the reality was. No matter where I would look, nearly the entire area where my house used to be, was now under a full-scale renovation. Right at this moment, the number of machines, men and tools that Baskar family organised made it seem as if this place would house the greatest shopping centre in the entire city…

"So that's what happened. Krist… I won't pretend to know what you are going through right now, but I need you to realise one thing." After the crowd finally dispersed, my master calmly approached me before placing his hand on my shoulder. From how serious his face was, I could tell that he had no mischief on his agenda. "Right now, you need to keep moving. I know how strong you are, but everyone can be broken. Only by moving forward, you will be able to push the grief far enough into the future, to…

The fire was everywhere. No matter where I would direct my eyes, a thin layer of fire covered the entire mass of the floating rubble. Even though it was burning incredibly slowly, from how the metallic parts of the ruins continued to blush more and more, one could tell that its temperature was no joke. "Okay, let's do it…" The one good thing about having those remnants floating around me was complete privacy that it gave me. With its constant whining, concrete shattering and metal snapping, no one…

The closer I got to where my house once stood, the thicker the crowd became. Not because everyone wanted to visit the site of the disaster. To be honest, I had no idea what kind of means the Baskar family used to gather the people here without revealing any details about what was going to happen to them. At this point, I couldn't help but scoff at the lack of my phone. While it could still be hidden somewhere amidst the ruins, unharmed thanks to sheer luck. But the task of finding out its location would…

I never expected to meet this person out in the streets. I struggled to even tell how many years it has been since I last this man. What could be the odds? "Krist…? Wait, what are you doing out in the rain?" Just like always, this damned guy failed to read the atmosphere. Not taking any excuses, he instantly would sweep in and enforce his own, silly and lighthearted atmosphere in the room. Never caring for what it was before either. "Wait, I have a better question. The heck are you doing in……

" It's a pleasure to do business with you, sir." Just as expected, the tool that was more than common even in the world that suffered through the apocalypse, a tool that no one in that world would bat an eye for, was more than valuable on earth. In the future, scientists from my homeworld would definitely figure out a way to create both this simple tool and all the other kinds of insane stuff. This was something I had absolutely no doubts against. To a certain degree, the fact that I was willing to pull…

"I don't want to waste your time, young master, so I will allow myself to get right to the point." While I couldn't be sure whether the man that was sitting in front of me had any right to negotiate anything with me, in the current situation I had no other way but to just go with the flow. "It is my wish to obtain the full rights to the lands where very recently a… disaster devastated." Sending an eye to the young man in front of me, I pretended to find it easy not to smile. In reality, though,…

"Forgive me my lack of manners, please, come inside." After taking his time to look at me with his starkly blue eyes, the man smiled before bowing slightly and turning to the side, with his head pointing at the doors of the mansion. While he was acting pretty cultured, the fact that he was the very first person that I couldn't see through most likely meant that this man was someone I had to be wary of. But his appearance didn't change anything at all. When dealing with the underworld, one had to be…
