*Beep*

As I was getting ready to head out and place an order for gene supplements, my phone beeped with a message.

'''Why?''' - Rem

'''?''' - You

I replied before picking up my jacket and looked around at my room. The rooms at the dorm were bare, there was a time where I had some decorations hanging around but those were trashed a long time ago. Looking back I was once a prideful aristocrat, sure of where my path led and sure that I'll be the best.

'I have changed a lot I guess'

*Beep*

'''Why did you sell it... It would have been perfect? Why??'''- Rem

'''Stop stalking... it doesn't suit you''' - You

I smiled slightly and walked up to the gate and slightly bumped my knuckles against the door, as it slipped open I walked out heading to the teleporter.

'What could be my ability be though, is it something to do with my brain? Cuz that's the only thing that the mapper doesn't check and I guess me being able to 'SEE' also could be explained...'

Humans have evolved from ancient times when once running a 100 m sprint under 9.8 seconds was a feat of legends, it has now been reduced to a common accomplishment that any kid above the age of 14 could achieve. As our genes were modified, evolved, Improved?

'We grew different from humans, our DNA changed, our maximum age increased, superpowers surfaced out, We grew from a planetary species to the ruler of the Galaxy... Or so we have been told, through books and pieces of transcripts left behind. One thing didn't change though, we still identified ourselves as humans, clinging to that word, the meaning behind that single word, to console ourselves that this was the right path, that we are not creating monsters... cause that's how the other alien species knew us as...'

*Beep*

Another message broke my chain of thought as I looked at my wrist.

'''Just tell me Why? Why do you turn me down? You know the Grey family can handle your resource expenses right? Why don't you accept my offer but for some credits you sold your best chance to make a comeback? Why?? why do you hate me.''' - Rem

I stared at the message for a while,

"Hey, man could you make way?" I nodded at the voice, glanced at him for a second before disregarding him as unimportant, moved a little freeing the way for the teleporter.

Different emotions conflicted within me before I looked at the message again, I could easily picture her, her eyes moist, bitter emotions etched across her face, as she stared at her wrist waiting for a reply.

'I don't know, I don't know...'

I know what I should do, I guess the distance between us has been everpresent, there was a time when I towered over her and now she does, but...

'''See you at the Top''' -You

I walked into the teleporter and selected the location from my I.V. before I vanished from the Dormitory.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Rem's Pov-

'''See you at the Top''' -Adam

'huh!'

I stared at my wrist stunned, It felt like someone slapped me awake as I stared at those 5 words, My eyes scanned the room before came to stop resting on the projection at my desk, a kid that looked to be around 15 was standing in a relaxed stance with a sharp dagger with a curved elongated edge held lightly between his fingers, his purple eyes staring at you as he gazed at you with an aloof expression. The words 'See you at the Top' etched onto the projector's base along with a name.

'See you at the Top' - Adam Blake.

'What does he mean? did he get another good class? what's he planning? Is he coming back?'

I stared at the projection hoping it would give me some answers, I shook my head and once again stared at the message, It has been a while since I have heard him say those words, through the past year I had watched him, slowly it was taking him some effort to beat everyone, the image of the King coming undone, I watched him disappear into the crowd, just another talented student at the academy.

The last time he said those words were when he was towering over the Champion of Earth's Military Alliance Academy, and when I asked him what he always meant with that, he said, "...We are still playing games right now, these harmless weapons with dulled edges are just entertainment and hope to the rest of the humans that their future is secure, I say 'See you at the Top' to the people I acknowledge, people I wish would stand by me when I lead the crusade to conquer the Universe, cause I know I'll get there, to the Top, the question is can they?"

'Maybe it was that arrogance, that pride, that self-belief that made him stood out among the rest, the untouchable monster, the Blade Saint, The King...'

Humanity lost a hero that one fateful day, his figurines were quickly replaced, those arrogant words were buried along with his story and his legacy, he was the best and everyone acknowledged that, in his age group no one could beat him, but without an Innate ability, the distance would continue growing...

I clicked a name on my contact list and said, "Follow him, I need a detailed explanation of where he's going and what he does."

*Sigh*

I took a deep breath and looked around at my room, the plain white room had simple decorations, a bed, and a terminal. I stared at my Helmet, picked it up, and slipped it on.

'I'll See you at the Top then...'
