I am ho! Miles said in his heart. No one was waiting for him inside, as expected. He just walked to his old room. The walls, the hallway, the sll Everything was the sa since he left. He felt so sort of yearning and disappointnt.
The room was clean, so one could see the room was cleaned regularly. Miles walked to the safe in the room and opened it with the old combination. With a click safe opened and inside there were seven orbs. These orbs were given by his family. But Miles didn't take them with him when he left the mansion.
At the ti he left them inside the safe and left the safe open. But soone must have left them there and closed the safe in case he wanted them back soday, but Miles wouldnt.
Oh, if it isnt little brother! A crisp voice ca from the door with a condescending tone. Why are you back? You realized your mistake and here to take back the orbs we gave you?
Marcela, as irritating as ever. Miles turned and smiled at his sister. She was as beautiful as ever. Blue eyes, raven hairs falling to her wrist, and slim body. She had that charm turn n's heads when she walked. I dont need these toys to survive. Unlike you, I like to depend on myself.
Humph, you still as stupid as ever. Are you sure you want to go against ? You havent forgotten how I punished you right? She snorted and asked.
Marcela, arent you pitiful? While there is nobody around you, can you really hurt ? Miles smiled and walked by Marcela. Just as he passed her, he turned and said Since I am back, lets get along.
Miles wasnt worried about Marcela anymore. Not because he was confident and got arrogant over the last half a year, but he didnt care anymore. Miles knew how to lose, and get back on his feet after losing and try again. He would just work harder and get stronger until no one else could threaten him.
He walked to the small laboratory where he would find his mother. Since she summoned him, Miles had to show himself, or he would get a mouthful.
He walked to the basent and opened the lab door. Inside there were hundreds of different devices working. Evelyn Cross was between them, working on sothing. She was too busy to notice Miles. Miles walked to her desk where she would record her findings.
Rember here buddy? This is where I t you for the first ti. Miles said as he sat on the desk. He was only four at the ti, and Evelyn was recording her failure and decision to delete Coins source code. At the ti Miles stopped her.
It has been more than 12 years. Coin answered. As an AI, he of course still had the data of the day. He even knew the weather of the day.
Miles sat at the table and waited for his mother to finish her experint. After waiting more than thirty minutes, Evelyn raised her head and looked at Miles. A smile blossod on her face right away, as she sprinted to Miles's side. You are finally here, I missed you! Evelyn hugged Miles.
I missed you too, mom. Sorry for not coming back for so long. Miles said with heartbreak. He didnt want to upset his mother, but he had to leave the mansion.
It is okay, as long as you are fine, Evelyn said as she was still hugging Miles.
What are you working on? Miles asked curiously after their hug broke.
I am working on artifacts. Evelyn answered with her brows furrowed, How are they ford? Has soone created them? We know humanoid monsters have so wisdom, but can they forge weapons? Then what about technological artifacts? Are they ford just like orbs in their bodies? What is their main function, and why are they rare? Can they be further improved? She listed many questions in a row.
Miles decided to help his mother a little bit and talked about random things. Since orbs are inside monsters brains, they must be organic parts created through circumstances we are not sure about. Humans also carry natural elents, but it cos naturally to us. For example, we are ford of carbon, iron, calcium, and many other elents. And we forge swords from iron. So orbs can also be organic parts ford from alien elents we havent discovered yet.
Artifacts can or cant be the sa as orbs, but if they are the sa as orbs and if they are naturally ford, then they can rge with monsters. Then it is also possible for them to be rged with humans. Miles couldnt test this theory, so he could help his mother to research it. He rged with an orb and gained abilities. If so, rging with artifacts should be possible too. After all, the artifact dug out from the Vampire was a pair of eyes, and the vampire was using them to see. If it was true, then his mother would find it sohow. It would also help Miles, but if she couldnt, at least it would sohow inspire her.
Evelyns eyes widened as she looked at Miles with her mouth agape. This kind of thinking is revolutionary! She exclaid and ran back to her machines. Miles could only shake his head and left the lab. When she dove into work, no one could pull her out.
Miles walked into his room once again and tried to avoid his Grandfathers study. He didnt want to be alone with rcer, Cruel Heart, Cross. He tiptoed and got into his room before closing the door. He looked at the machine at the corner. It was like a bed with a cover on top. It was a virtual computer that would send a person's consciousness to the virtual world. There, the person could do many things.
Miles mainly used it to spar with others back in the day. But since he couldnt afford it for his house, he hasn't used it ever since he left the house. He walked to the machine and entered once again.
Welco back, Powerless Lord!
Would you like to use the sa account? The woman's voice asked as the screen appeared in front of him. Miles rolled his eyes. Such a la nickna.
Create a new account! Miles said as the black screen in front of him changed, and his body started to orbit around itself. If he wanted, Miles could use his own features, or he could change so of the things.
Miles didnt change anything but added a mask over his face to hide his identity, then chose a new account na. What should I use? Miles pondered over it, then decided to use The Marooner, but it is already taken.
I cant fake the Marooner anyway, since I cant use lightning powers inside the machine, I can only take another na. How about Thousand kills in Thousand miles?
Hmm, not bad. Miles nodded his head and approved his decision. As soon as he finished signing up, the machine asured his body and even checked his superpowers. If he wanted, Miles could scan his orbs as well to use them in the virtual world, but he of course wouldnt scan his precious double elental orb. As soon as he did that, Mother AI would lock onto him.
After waiting less than a minute, his stats appeared in front of him.
Punch Strength: 303
Max Speed: 132 Km/h

Superpower: Monster Eyes
