"Hm... Really? Are you hiding something from me huh?" their mother said while standing behind them and massaging their shoulders gently.
"N-no it's nothing mom," Yua stuttered.
"Hmph... hmph" Yama just nodded.
"Hm...something fishy...but I'll let it pass... for now..." their mother heads back to the kitchen.
"Fuh..." Yama exhales.
They go straight to the second floor with relief in their breath.

Once Yama gets into his room which was painted with orchid colour, he stands near a brown bed. Yama takes off his persian blue uniform. The length is identical to a lab coat that reaches his upper thigh. Yama's black t-shirt that he uses as the inner is the only shirt still intact on his upper body. He standing alone in his room.
His eyes stare toward both his arms. More like, he stares toward the place his arm should be because he can't see his arms. Both of his arms are invisible in his view. It is not there.
Why can't I see my arms? But for some reason, it is still there. Everyone can see it. Yua can, mom can, no one tells me that I lost my arm because everyone can see it except me. And it still functions well. It is doing what my mind wants it to. But I can't feel the touch.
Yama thought while sitting on the edge of his bed. The folds of his purple bed sheets wrinkled as he sat on them.
The eyes can see, but they can't feel...rather, it is more likely to cheat. That's what the man said... Yama's monologue.
"What kind of quote is that? Does this have a connection with the letter I got before?"
"Maybe I can find some answer in Enigma…the letter is from Enigma too. But I'm gonna take a bath and eat first."

"Knock! Knock!" Someone knocked on Yama's door.
"Do you want to take a bath first Yama? If you don't want to, I will go first…" Yua's voice can be heard but rather slow because the door blocking it.
"You should go first!" Yama shouted so Yua can hear it.
"Okay."
Yama checks on the round wall clock hanging in his room opposite his bed, "5:15 p.m...I should do some workouts and test what things my invisible arms can handle and what not…"
Yama starts placing himself in a push-up position with his invisible but functioning arm and starts his count loud enough for him to hear.
"119, 118, 117, 116..."

"Yama… what do you think of it?"
Several days had already passed since the incident where we met the man with a black butler outfit. I'm getting used to these invisible arms…even it's weird sometimes looking at something like floating food getting into my mouth because I can't see my hand holding the spoon. Yama's thoughts in his mind.
"Yama…?"
After I check it, I still see my left arm that is separated from my body in the library and weirdly, I can't take or touch it. It feels like a hologram. Moreover, I can't find my right arm. It separated from my body when I magically teleported back to the library while running with Yua. Where did it go?
"Yama!"
"Huh? Oh, why Yua?"
"Yama... I'm not Yua!" a woman in an orange office suit with a white skirt raised her voice to Yama. She is standing in front of the class. Then she walks toward Yama's table which is located almost in the middle of the class. The class consists of 20 students with 5 rows and 5 lines of student seats. Yama's seat coordination is in the third line and the fourth row.

"Oh, I- I'm sorry sensei… I don't hear you." Yama finally realizes his teacher's call.
She starts to get near Yama slowly while her hands are being put on her waist.
"Tuk... Tuk…" The class can hear the sound of her heels while she takes a step forward.
"Come on, Yama... how many times do you want to daydream? Focus on my class, please. You have three weeks before the entrance exam, if you fail it, you cannot enrol at this Scabiosa School."

What will happen to our protagonist when he awakens as a Machia and discovers that he can actually program these magic-cartridges?... The Earth also changed drastically since the dungeons appeared, how could it not? These unknown, giant towers suddenly started spewing out hordes of fiends and monstrosities. Only The Machia were able to defend against these attacks on humanity. Countries were destroyed, safe-havens were build and then yet again destroyed. Eventually humanity adapted, like it always does. The economy was rebuild and centered around these new towers, these dungeons, the treasures they hold outweigh their dangers. Life is relatively safe again, for most at least… Read about Reo’s exploits, an immigrant from the Netherlands, as he tries to honor his dead parents and… find love? Establish a Guild?!

This story features romance, comradery, an interesting power system and a post-apocalyptic world with amusing characters, what more do you want?! No seriously, I’m always open to constructive feedback. This story also displays my interpretation of a magic-coding-language (based on JAVA). Although knowledge about coding helps, you can also enjoy the story without it 😊.
