Summary: Akihito lived in a world of high technology, where Virtual Reality gaming has been possible for the past thousands of years. In the game, Akihito, as Fireball, had hit the level caps for the Full-Dive game, Cosmos; The lead virtual reality gaming that allows a full dive when the World Systems crashed, ending his full dives. When he woke up, Akihito found out that the world isn't the same anymore. In fact, he might actually be in another world.


Chapter One: Full Dive Ended? It should have ended!


A screen entered into Akihito's eyesight, into the upper left corner.

|Name: Fireball | Race: Demon-Cat, Halfling | Level: 500|

The screen of labels was surrounding in a frame that had two suns and a large crescent moon next to it.

Below the character, in the lower left, was details was another screen of labels:

|Menu | Inventory | Events | Announcement | Quests | Journal | Bounty's Post | Guild | Monster's Notebook |Systems|

Every label was in brightly lit white when the Guild and Events label was faded out in gray, telling him that he doesn't have anything on it.

In the upper right corner was a clock in International time. It reads | 23:59:14| 202X, April 5 |

In the lower corner, barely visible, was a mini-map of the dungeon that Akihito is in. The map was dotted with small blue dots, telling Akihito- no, Fireball, that all enemies are dead.

Right in the middle of the screen was a large word - no, a sentence - that said: |Hardcore Dungeon: Availario Dungeon |Level: Aura Floor 50| Room 25| Status: Clear | Special Items Granted: Ring of Availario, Primal Elemental Guardians X 5, Mana Purification Summoner's stone, Daggers of Availario, Jewels of Crafts X 15, Hunter's Eyes X 40. Soloist is granted an additional Phase Stone X 50|

Right below that large print was a much small print, asking for confirmation.

| Confirmed Special Items Granted: Yes / No |

Akihito confirmed yes, verbally or just mentally was okay. Usually, no ones would say it out loud because it looks lame and very newbies but Fireball did not care at all.

"Hoh? This time there are Phase Stone, huh. Great. With the Phase Stones, I can make another 10 flying knives."

The system lets out a small beep sound as the items were transferred to his Inventory.

[System: 182,164,100 x Gold Coins, 4 x Gems, 4 x Teleport Scrolls, Special Items Granted and Map of Hardcore Dungeon Availario Dungeon are now in your Inventory]

Akihito, Fireball, paused as the system flood his mind with another couple hundred long announcements.

Asides from the total amount of gold and special items that are directly transferred to his Inventory, a couple of thousands other items are all collected automatically into his other Backpack.

Inventory and Backpack are different.

Inventory has a fixed number of spaces that you can use and the items in there are bind so it won't drop even at death. However, the backpacks are different. A number of random item in there will drop if you die along with 20% of your experiences point and one level.

The difference between the Inventory is the fact that Inventory allows Stacks of items with the same property to stacks together while Backpack doesn't. However, Backpack allows more slots for larger items, unlike Inventory that allows stacks but doesn't allow a large item in. An item such as a Fully-Build House or a fully built machine.

Of course, upon death, about 1-3 random Attributes will also drop from one of the fifteen attributes. So, a lot of people wanted to avoid death since the only players under level 10 didn't get attributes or item drops. They still get experiences deducted but that's it. No other penalty.

There are even fully crafted items like crafted armor, weapons, potions, rings, rods, scrolls, staffs, wands, and other wondrous items. Those normal items are at least a couple hundreds of them. Causing the system to nearly crashed down with the amounts of items that are collected. Or at least in Fireball's mind.

There was even an item called the Amulet of Health, a golden disk that is chained to a small lion which enhanced health Constitution of at least +2000. Fireball had already gotten this amulet disk so he didn't really care. However, that doesn't mean that this amulet was ordinary. In fact, this Amulet is so rare that if sold in the auction, it would easily make people kill for it. The amulet was so rare that only about ten people in the world game have it. Well, excluding Fireball who easily gotten over twenty of them in his Private Inventory. No, not the Bank Vault or Stash but a private Inventory. The only Inventory that is inaccessible even by the game's moderators is the Private Inventory. However, the Private Inventory had a very small amount of spaces so not a lot of people care for it asides from putting their money in there.

Fireball isn't one of those people. He put money in there, yes, but he also put Rare items in there too. Like the Amulet of Health. No, don't think that with only a health constitution of +2000, it's enough to put in the Private Inventory. Normal Amulet of Health that were high rank will only have the +2000 health point. But the ones that he put in his Private Inventory have three additional stats. A +25% chances of Critical, a +15% Mana Regeneration stats, and a Poison Neglect Chances stats. If Fireball inserts the Phase stone into the Amulet of Heath, the duration would increase and another stat will appear. Which is why his Amulet of Health costs people both their arms and their legs just to get one. In another word, in an auction, just one of his Amulet alone is enough to cost at least 500,000 Gold Coins. This explains why Fireball is the only Soloist that doesn't care about money, in both real life and in-game. After all, the exchange rate for converting game money to real life money is very fair.

The ratio converted to USD; 1Gold Coin to $500.00. Golds are hard to earn, you know. Just because Fireball is rich in the game doesn't mean much to him in real life. His parents are rich but that doesn't mean much to him when he can't even use it. Akihito isn't one that cares about money much. His health has never been the best so he rarely goes outside. The best that he could have used the money for was buying his own personal full drive, his Drive Computer and his month budgets that were used to pay his rent. Anything else was paid by his parents. They aren't lacking in money so he didn't need to convert the golds that he got into real life money.

Other items that are worthy of being mentions are scroll materials and inks of high tier quality. In this rarely open Hardcore Dungeon that no one wanted to come, all items are high tiers, even the normally drops. In just one run, Fireball uses about 500 Golds in preparation. Yet the yield he gains was more than a million in just Gold alone.

"Ahh, I am starting to take things for granted..." Fireball complains to himself.

Fireball wasn't really surprised that he got millions of gold just for clearing a floor. Although, it is questionable since this floor was the last boss floor. And Fireball was by himself so the items that get got was way more than the items that a party could get, along with the experiences. it was unless thought as his character had already hit the level caps at its maximum already so he didn't get experiences from. He is here only because the mine on this floor have Fairy Dust Mineral. A kind of special dust that enhance clothing materials.

Fireball is a Solo player so it wasn't very a surprised that he would get all those items. However, Fireball was still feeling a bit confused as to why it should take him that long to cleared just this floor, even if it was the boss on this Floor Level. Since this wasn't the first time that he cleared this floor by himself so it shouldn't have taken him this long to clear it.

"Open Hardcore Solo Dungeon Timing," Fireball said out loud with a bemused expression.

[Hardcore Solo Timing| 1st Place: 23:34:41 Fireball | Second Place: 23:35:11 Fireball | Third Place: 23:35:23 Fireball | Fourth Place: 23:35:26 Fireball | Fifth Place: 23:35:30 Fireball | Sixth Place: 23:35:33 Fireball | Seventh Place: 23:35:40 Fireball | Eighth Place: 23:35:44 Fireball | Ninth Place: 23:35:49 DarkDragon | Ten Place: 23:35:56 Tiger&Dragon]

[Current Time: 26:27:34]

"Huh? The timing is off by a lot this time. So, it's true that all the dungeons are getting an update. Still, it wasn't supposed to be for another month. Why is the variation so different now? A couple of the mobs are also bugs... Hmmm. Maybe I should report this to the GM." Fireball murmured to himself as he takes out his pickaxe from his inventory and walks toward a very small spot of dark red crystal. He started to hit the target.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sounds vibrated as little bits of red liquid started to seep out from the ground. Fireball stop what he was doing as he takes out a couple jars from his inventory and started to collect the liquid. Before long, the jars were all filled and the ground started to vanished into plains rock surface. He moved on to another spot with the same characteristics and repeat his action. As he continues doing that, Fireball started to think back to how differences the dungeon this time.

A couple of variables was different from how it's usually is, including the fact that there is a large increase amount of monsters. The monsters aren't much of a problem but the amount makes him shivers when he thinks of how people meeting them unprepared would be like. Utterly obliteration.

It will be Utterly Obliteration. Capitalized intended.

Hopefully, this is only for a while and won't cause a lot of problems. His parents work hard in this game and he likes this world enough that if cliches and bugs like this happen again, he would be very mad. Very mad.

The timing for this run has far exceeded his target, it wasn't going to be any easier for other people to meet this change. If Fireball wasn't even trying, then this timing would have made sense but he did put everything into his clearing since he was challenging his own timing. With his experiences in this tower of Dungeon, there is no way that Fireball won't notice when there is an increase in a number of mobs. And it wasn't just the number of mobs that it changes. The kind of mobs also changes too. On this floor, there shouldn't be any other kind of mobs' asides from the usual ones. Yet, today's ran has three other variations from the other two Dungeon.

With his experiences of soloing in this tower of Dungeon- which was more than a hundred times, there is no way that Fireball won't notice when there is an increase in a number of monsters. And it wasn't just the number of monsters that it changes. The kind of mobs also changes too. On this floor, there shouldn't be any other kind of mobs' asides from the usual ones. Yet, today's run has three other variations from the other two Dungeon.

Now, that is a problem. A big Problem.

Fireball knew himself well enough that as someone who has multiple classes of level 100 characters; Tri-Mage, Druid, Rogue, Dualist, Archmage, and Shadowcaster, this level of boss level shouldn't take him this long to clear them. In fact, it shouldn't make him worry. The level caps for a Class level is 100 but since there is no limit to how many class you can get, you can get as many subclasses as you like; your character level's caps are 500.

Fireball had been in this game, Cosmos, for more than ten years already. He started when he was very little so he knew nearly everything there is to know about this world.

When the game first came out back in 2018, Akihito was only 6 years old. His father was one of the many developers in this game so Akihito got a key to play with when the game was still in Alpha mode. He'd sticks with Cosmos all the way until they implement the Full Dive systems and the multi-subclasses contents.

Akihito was first a mage.

A [Fire Mage], then [Green Mage], and finally a [Water Mage]. Those three classes are Fireball's Primary, magician, classes. All of three classes aren't Grandmaster but it is close. They are all stuck at the last stage because it requires Akihito to clear a dungeon in a Raid-Party.

Under the [Fire Mage], there are twelves tiers of magic spells and skills. Same as any other classes tiers.

Tier One has only three beginner spells and one trait- a broad area of expertise of a character. In another word, Tier One has only 3 Skills and one Special Trait, which mean that they can only use three spells until they hit level 50 or when their proficiency is high enough to allow them to learn another spell.

The trait that player who choice Fire Mage as their class must be able to learn and control fires, so they choose either [Breathing with Fire] or the traits [Controller of Fire] as their choices. [Breathing with Fire] is a trait that lets your character gain mana faster while [Controller of Fire] lets you control your mana more efficiently to control your fire spell more fluently. Akihito had chosen the [Breathing with Fire] rather than the [Controller of Fire]. Which- was rather rare since not a lot of people choose the [Breathe of Fire] because of how hard it was to control the Fire Spell.

Fireball didn't care; he can practice his control over the fire spell but he can't practice his breathing to make sure that his mana regeneration is faster. So the choice was pretty obvious to him.

As a mage of Fire, he finished around one hundred quests and fifty missions before he maxes out his Fire Mage Class to level 100; That was until he got bored of the fire class and start learning the [Green Mage] class, or what you be called Wood Magician since that's pretty much was it was.

A support class that could manipulate plants of all kinds.

Ah, just to clarify. Cosmos's time is four times faster than reality. Which means that one hour in real life is four hours in games.

So, it didn't take Akihito four months in games to master the [Green Mage] class as a soloist. Another two months until Akihito is bored of the class and went for the [Water Mage] class. This was all before he even starts to look into profession-classes such as alchemy and cooking.

Same thing happens again. For Akihito, as Fireball, Akihito have more than enough time to play the game. He went to school, yes, but only for half a day as his health in real life wasn't really good. His lunge isn't very strong enough so he was always sent home after lunch. All his other classes were online contents. At the age of 12 years old, the game Cosmos made a new height and descended to a Full Dive System, after the beta testing was out for about a year later, the game was officially named the most populated game in the whole gaming society.

When the Full Dive system come out, Akihito's heart turned for the worse. So, he was absent from the game for a month in real life to recover from the surgery. His mother, father, grandpa and his older brother had worked so hard to earned the money for his surgery that Akihito feels both guilty and sad. So, during that time that he was recuperating in the hospital, he had taken a bit of his father's work, who works as one of the code developers for Cosmos International. The company that develops the game, Cosmos.

Akihito might not know a lot about coding but he can work with the basics and smaller details in the game. Like, the flavors textures in the graphics broad and labeling of animals in the world that aren't mobs. This had helped his father with his workload so his father and mother had more time together.

By the time that he got back in games, Akihito had to familiarize himself with the Tri-Mage classes again. This lasts a couple of months in game. Since then more than twenty years of games had passed by and Fireball had already increased all his statues to the limits. Of course, he did this by clearing dungeon by himself. He died a hundred times but his proficiency also increased by a hundred times over the courses of dying. Akihito, as Fireball in games, wasn't a weakling so he did clear the dungeon soloed a couple hundred times, in normal settling mode.

He limited out all skills tiers of the Tri-Mages, the skills for his other classes. And by now, if Fireball didn't hide from the public, the Strongest in Cosmos Title would have belonged to Fireball.

Which explains how it was possible for Fireball, himself, to clear the whole dungeon. Solo.

Too bad, this wasn't the first time that Fireball cleared this dungeon so he isn't that excited about it. Even with the special items that he got from here; it only drops if it was cleared by only one person. Soloed.

There are special items that only drop when coming in a {party} but those aren't that rare and can be found or bought. However, the items that drop when you soloed the dungeon under a conditional timing doesn't drop all the time.

You could say that Fireball was the only person to ever cleared this Hardcore Dungeon ever since it was created.

"Status Window" Fireball murmured as he sighed out loud after putting the gathered red jars into his inventory.

|Name: Fireball A.T. | Level 500| Gender: Male| Race: Demon-Cat, Halfling|

| HP: 9,999,999+| Mana: 9,999,999+| PA: 100,000+| MA: 1,200,000+

| Classes: {Primary} Tri-Mages| Subclasses: Druid, Rogue, Dualist, Archmage, Shadowcaster,...|

|STR: 99,999|DEF: 99,999|VIT: 99,999|

|AGI: 99,999|OFF: 99,999|Haste: -99%|

|INT: 99,999|WIS: 8,999|CHR:2030|

|Spirit: 9,999|RES: 9,499| Crit: 25%|

|END: 9,299| M. RES: 50%| P. RES: 80%|

|Expertise: 99.97% | PvP Power: 12.04%|

HP is the Health Point, Mana is the mana source or energy source for skills and spells, PA is the physical attack and how high it can reach on basis without weapons, MA is magic attack basis. STR is the basic strength for all physical attack forms, DEF is the basic defense without armor. VIT is your body's vitality without buff and stacks-on. Agility is the speed that one can run or move it. This is the reason why Fireball is uncatchable. And Haste is for increasing his attack speed and reduces the cast time of spells that he cast. The rest is self-explanatory...

Below the chart was another two smaller printed stats. The Stamina and Energy Bar. [Stamina: 200/5000 Max|| Energy: 251/1000 Max]

Stamina is how long you can run in games without getting a debuff or slowing down stats while Energy is the number of energy you got to uses for killing mobs.

As a player, from level 1 to level 10, one energy can be used to kill a maximum of 10 mobs. From Level 10 to 20, it doubled to a maximum of 20 mobs per one energy. Then from level 30-40, it triples from the previous level to 60 mobs per energy. And so on, do the math. At level 100, you can imagine or calculate the amounts of mobs you can kill in one energy. Fireball maximum this rule to his benefits after coming back from the hospital. He had been at level 50 when he was hospitalized-well, he lived inside the hospital so it wasn't really hospitalized but who cares. So, by the time that he got back his familiarity and instincts of fighting against mobs, he gained another three levels just from practicing his skills on low-level mobs.

Yep, Fireball knows it himself that his character is kind of a fraud since his far too overpowering. However, he isn't the strongest in Cosmos so he isn't even going to be ashamed of his characters and or feel guilty.

After that, history repeats itself again since there aren't a lot of things that can hold Fireball's attention. Being first on the Hardcore Board for Dungeons isn't something that he cares about having more than twenty titles; it isn't something he wants to gloat about. In fact, what he loves most in this game was the freedom that it allowed him. When he's bored killing mobs, he would go do other things like farming, planting, skinning, mining, etc. In fact, his only here in this dungeon because he needs the Fairy Dust to level his Tailoring skills. It's only missing three more new item before it hit Mastery. His other production skills were already over Mastery, only his Tailoring is behind. Still, he didn't want to spend too much time on his production skills.

So, that left him with learning new techniques or starting a new class. And he did. Which means he had to put a Restrict on his character level so that he can learn all the skills and traits from other classes. Which was why, 10 years later, his character stats have all maxed out. Fireball didn't know if he was the only one that had maxed stats in games or not but he is NOT proud of it.

It made the games more boring since there haven't been any new contents in the past couple of years. Well, people are still discovering the maps of Cosmos Continents even after 20 years of playing this world but Fireball doesn't really care since he had already discovered his. He's map has all the Dungeon location, all the forbidden landscapes, all the hidden valley, and all the hidden doors to who know where. His map is fully cleared. The only thing that isn't cleared of was the Mastery Doors that would lead to new Continents. To go to the new Continent, he needs to be in a party for three years so that's out of the question. He isn't that interesting in New Continent. They just mean more hunting ground and that isn't something that Fireball is interesting in. New Continent doesn't mean higher monster, just more location to hunt in. All higher monsters can be found in dungeons of Hardcore or Hell level and above. There is no need to go to a new continent for hunting ground when there is no one to compete with for Dungeon.

In another word, Dungeon Clearing on Hardcore or Hell Level was the only thing that he could do to ease his boredom. As a soloed player, most of the time, there aren't many things that hold his interest. He didn't participate in PvP, either. Killing Mobs was PvE, regardless of intelligent the mob could be, so it didn't do anything much to his conscious but PvP was against other players so he had never joined. Not even Kou and Takato can make him join. He killed Red-Player before but that's only for self-defense so it didn't count. He isn't a lunatic that likes to PKed.

Hmm? What is this? Fireball froze in the middle of thinking about why there was an abnormal amount of mobs in this dungeon. For a second there, the world seems to lag. But, that would be impossible! Cosmos had the more than 20 Supercomputer that made more than 150GB space of RAM in each. Enough to support this world and three billion people without lagging or crashing. Besides, this server is for Tokyo population so its sizes was a bit higher than the other server.

There is no way that this world would lag. Asides from lagging, the only thing that he could think of was someone hacking it. That's even more impossible. The security of this game isn't a joke. This game was linked to both the government's security system and the army's security system. It wasn't only that. This game had partnered with huge companies all over the world so the security system is no joke. Even the US Pentagon wouldn't dare hack into this game, no matter the reason.

Crack!

Huh? What is that sound?

Fireball turned toward the sound only to nearly drop his eyeball into the ground. His eyes widen in shock at what he saw.

The world is splitting open! This was the only thought that entered his mind at the picture that he could see.

How does Fireball know that this was the world splitting open? That would be because of the pitch black nothingness behind the line of crack on the wall of the dungeon. This dungeon is 10,000 meter in the air, so if it was the wall that was damaged, then what reveals would be blue sky and white clouds. However, what was revealed wasn't the sky and the clouds but rather a pitch darkness that light won't even shine through.

Oi-oi-oi! What is going on?!

Fireball looks at the pitch black as his whole body shivers. He could clearly see the cracks spreading over the wall of the dungeon with a speed that is near impossible to dodges.

Just as a spike of darkness strikes toward Fireball, he instinctually dodges the darkness. Fireball's eyes shine with a glint that told anyone who knew him well enough that he had entered combat mode- Insane Mood. It is the only time that he let his instincts out more than 120%. His eyes turn red and his hair got longer. Two small pointy ears appear on top of his head as two large and sharp canines appeared underneath his lips. Akihito, as Fireball, had successfully activated his power.

He might not like killing but he does know that he loves his life more than he loved others.

Just as he was about to Teleport himself out of the Dungeon, three large and dark spike of darkness suddenly hit him so fast that he could barely see it.

The next thing Fireball knew darkness meet his vision.

...

...

...

Akihito wakes up with the biggest headache of the century.

He groaned as pain shot up his back into his neck, causing him to nearly faint.

What is going on? Argh, you know what? I might as well let the headaches put me to sleep since there are no dangers in the area.

...

...

...

What is going on?

"Akihito! Wake up! Aki!" A panicking voice called.

This voice... Kou?

Akihito slowly opened his eyes, only to see a pale face and sweating Kou.

"Kou...?" Akihito asked, completely confused and feeling very tired.

"Oh my God, Akihito! You're bleeding!" Kou yelled, completely panic as he pushed his hand over the wound on Akihito's stomach.

"Huh?" What? Bleeding? Shit. I'm too tired to think. Well, whatever. "Rejuvenation..." Akihito whispered so softly that Kou didn't even hear it. However, even if he can't hear it, he can still see the white mist that is coming from Akihito's wound, which was rapidly healing at a rate that is visible to naked eyes.

"?!" Kou's eyes widen so wide that it looks like it was going to pop out. "Oh my god, Akihito... You..." Kou didn't know what else he could say. He knew what Akihito just did. In fact, he saw it in games so much that he didn't even bother knowing it. However, he knew that Akihito had never played games before! In fact, Kou was pretty damn sure that Akihito doesn't even like MMORPG games. He liked games like Super-Mario and first-person shooting games like zombies' games but MMORPG just went through the roof for Akihito. What is going on?

"Kou?" A voice called from behind Kou.

"..." Kou was still in a daze that he completely ignored the voice.

"Kou! What is wrong with you? Is Akihito okay?" Seeing the Kou wasn't answering, Takato shakes Kou's shoulder sharply as he worried about Akihito. Still, he could clearly see that the wound on Akihito's stomach was already closing since there aren't any fresher blood bleeding out.

When Kou and Takato come over to Akihito's apartment, the door wasn't locked and both of them found Akihito bleeding on the floor with his textbook all over the floor, stained with blood. Both of them nearly panic but seeing that the wound wasn't that deep, they both started to put pressure on it after trying to call the ambulance. However, Akihito's phone service since to be cut off so Takato had to step outside to make the call.

Strangely enough, it seems like the calling service was down in the whole area. Knowing that it was useless to keep calling, Takato came back inside to let Kou know. Only to see a dazed Kou.

"Kou!" What in the world is wrong with this idiot? Takato thought to himself.

"Ah... Takato..." Kou dazedly replied as his eyes blinked in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with Akihito?" Takato asked worriedly.

"Just now..." Kou fall silence as he didn't know what or how he was going to explain to Takato of what he saw. That Akihito used games skill in real life? But both he and Takato knew that Akihito had never play MMORPG games before and haven't even started one yet.

"What happened just now? Did you successfully stop the bleeding?" Asked Takato as he looks at Akihito sleeping form and lifted the bloody shirt off his stomach to see the wound.

"Hm? There is no wound." Right, there was no wound on Akihito. Only fresh warm blood all over his skins. But, Takato clearly remembers seeing the wound, although not that deep, on Akihito's stomach. It was around three inches wide and a couple centimeters deep, by his estimation. Otherwise, Akihito might have to bleed to death if his wound was deeper.

Yet, now, there was no wound. Only blood.

Takato and Kou exchange look.

"What did you see." It wasn't a question but rather something close to a demand. Takato might not be as smart as Kou nor as intuitive as Akihito but one thing that both of them lack was common-sense. Kou might be smart but he has a somewhat twisted sense of common-sense and Akihito? Don't even mention that adrenaline druggy. Akihito likes danger too much to be normal. Common-sense would tell him to run away and he would do something completely different.

"I... I saw Akihito used Rejuvenation. You know, the Rejuvenation skills from that game? The one that heals 60% of Spell power for damage every 3 seconds. That Rejuvenation skills. Only... a bit different." Kou said with a somewhat pale face and a look that said more than anything on how he doubts his eyesight.

Except, Kou has a perfect vision of 20/20 so that is not even a joke.

Takato look sat Kou, trying to see if Kou was joking. No, he looks like he wishes he was joking, instead.

"... Seriously?" Takato whispered.

Kou looked at Akihito, who was still sleeping not knowing that he had nearly broken his two best friends before he nodded his head in confirmation to Takato's question.

"... Well damn. What are we going to do? We came here to inform Akihito about the News that was announced worldwide. Not to suddenly see this." Takato groaned as he sighed out loud.

"Well, for now. Help me move Akihito to his bed. Since he isn't bleeding anymore, there is no reason to wait for anything else now." Kou said.

Takato nodded as he and Kou help moved Akihito to his bed after taking off his bloody shirt and put on a clean one.

Ten minutes of silence later, Kou and Takato were still thinking about what Kou saw.

"Ne, Kou, do you think that this has something to do with the meteors that are coming near Earth?" Takato asked after thinking for a while.

"According to NASA and all the scientist, Akihito has nothing to do with it. If this is what I think it is, then Akihito might be Awakening. It has been more than a long while for this Awakening. Still, I am pretty sure that Akihito had never been taught how to use that skill." Kou replied.

"Well, that's obvious. We all went through the same lesson and same classes. If we haven't learned them, there is no way that Akihito could have." Takato replied.

"That's true. Still, Akihito had already clear the first stage in Floor 1 of the East Tower already. He should have already awakened long ago." Kou said with a smirked on his face, voice full of teasing.

"I know. Both of us already Awakening when we were in 8th Grade. To think that Akihito might be Awakening at 25 years old, it is very weird." Takato answered with a fond smile on his face.

"Still, even without Awakening, Akihito was still stronger than both of us. It made me wonder what kind of Ability Akihito will have." At Kou's wondering, Takato also feels excitement slipping through his body.
