"Take me to the next world, partner." Our bored gamer said but there was no joy on his face.

He took only one week to conquer this world and this was of course very natural because of the op nature of his current body.

​​

Clark recalled the promise and unfulfilled desires of the void creature. There was much good and abundance to be found there but everything ended upon his arrival.

The Heavenly Treasure Clay Brick really knew where to punish him where it hurt the most.

"DING!"

Power Systems Conquered: 11/50

The most awaited chime came and our good gamer could only sigh in response.

"Are you sure about this doctor?" a man asked.

"Yes, Nicolai. This discovery would deliver us to new heights in science and technology. It would empower us to know not only the secrets of this world but also of the vast expanse of space in the horizons.

You and I shall bring forth a golden age that would span for millenniums." Doctor Seigfred passionately answered.

"Then let us start forging the future doctor." Nicolai replied. He had sponsored this project with his own wealth and would gladly reap the fruits of his investment.

"For the greater good, Nicolai." Doctor Seigfred said and pushed the button that started the countdown of the machine.

They were trying to create a power source that would replace the conventional power sources which could supply the world with energy from only a palm sized device. Their masterpiece, The Radix.

"Honey, turn on the lights." a voice woke me up from the sweetest dream I've had in a long time. In my fantasy, I was a Supreme Being and stood alone in the midst of peoples bowing their heads in awe of my divinity. I have reached the heavens and finally became an immortal. It was such a grand scene to relive over and over again but sadly, reality knocked my head awake.

"It's just a power outage. It will return in a few minutes." I muttered and continued hugging the soft parts of my girlfriend, Adriana.

"But it's so hot, Seth! I can't sleep like this." Adriana complained.

"Okay. Okay. I'll turn on the generator downstairs. Tsk tsk." I replied and wore my jacket in haste. Then went out of the room to fix this damned darkness.

With a cellphone light on hand, I proceeded to traverse the big house on my own.

I checked the time and saw that it was only 3 o'clock in the morning. This thing sure know how to come at a good time, I thought and shook my head.

Not long, I arrived at the basement and operated the generator to life. After I pulled on the cord, the roaring of the machine signaled the culmination of my task.

"Done, honey. Since we're already awake, can I have my reward now and do some deep diving." I announced after I came back to our room. A mischievous smile was plastered on my face and did not wait for a response from Adriana. The prize was right before my eyes, it was folly not to take it and enjoy it well. HAHAHA, I laughed at the comforts of my life.

"But we just did that earlier, honey. I'm sore and I need to res..." her words stopped there as I sealed her protest with a deep kiss.

Three hours later...

"Pheew! That was great, honey!" I said out loud and marveled at my work. Adriana was all worn out but she still looked as lovely as ever. Like an angel, innocent and pure. All for my ravishment and delight. I smiled at the sweet candy before my eyes. She was a trophy quite apt for a person as magnificent as I am.

Adriana was not anymore conscious to voice out a response. She was totally drained from the intense drilling she had suffered.

"A good workout for such a nice day." I said softly as I got up from the bed. My steps took me outside to glimpsed at the nearby houses. They were still enshrouded in darkness that hinted that the blackout had endured through the night.

"Curious." I thought and checked my phone. After a few clicks, I realized that there was no connection to be had. It was a dead tool that served no use but of a blinking gadget in my hand.

I went back inside to check if the television had some signal but after five minutes of scouring the channels, only a blank picture stood in static reflection in my front.

This was interesting, I thought. Something new was indeed a welcome surprise. It was a diverse phenomenon that graced his life away from the norm.

I smiled at the possible scenarios of what all of this could mean.

But now was not the time to act. HAHAHA! I needed to wait and observe some more.

The echoes of my footsteps took me back into the confines of my room. I embraced the delicate woman in my arms and dozed off back into the sweet refuge of my slumber.

"Wake up, Seth! Seth!" a familiar voice woke me up again for the second time today.

She had been shaking my body nonstop in order to give credence to her plea of getting my attention.

"Here you are again. You little worm who gives nothing but disturbance to my tranquil life." I uttered wordlessly.

"What is it, honey? What's wrong?" I said instead as I noted the troubled expression on her face.

"I don't know. But everything seems to be not working. Computers, cellphones, printers. Their software appears to be dead." Adriana reported in alarm.

It was now noon and the high sun shone in brilliance outside of their home.

"Maybe they are finding some ways to fix these things as we speak, Adriana. You don't need to worry about this any further. Come here." I responded and opened my arms in invitation to the raven haired beauty before me.
