As the next morning arrives at the twin's residence, Magi was the first to wake up, preparing the necessary things like breakfast. Bahamut would be second, as he no longer needed the aid of a wheelchair, standing up with the help of cyber-augmented legs that was powered by a mana stone engraved inside his skin. “How is it?”Magi would ask Bahamut as he walked to the table, seemingly without any lag or problems. “It's perfect! I knew that this existed but I never thought of using it myself!”Bahamut was quite excited to be able to walk again, expressing his happiness as he took a stroll around the small space they had. “It also feels... lighter...”Not only that, Bahamut's body felt lighter than ever, with not only the ability to control his legs, but the legs were also built-in with an anti-gravitational pulse that can let the user jump a significant amount of distance if activated. It was something that Cian wanted before, but installing it was a huge risk, thus it was only reco

"Cough... Cough...! What in the hell happened——"Coughing out as he emerged from the rubble, Bahamut had just been able to view the current situation as it is.He was surprised as he saw multiple men dressed in black on the ground, and as he looked over to the side, there was the twin, standing before a tall man that held a sword. “——Black Skulls?!”Bahamut knew who they were upon seeing the man with the sword. It was Izumo Riku, one of the rankers in Black Skulls. “Ah, at least someone recognizes me here! Bahamut of the Violet Hex! Or at least formerly, that's you, right?”Nonchalantly responding to Bahamut, Izumo had known of Bahamut's affiliation and retirement from Violet Hex despite it being recent. Information was one of the fastest things that would go around with the right amount of money, and so, it was no surprise that Izumo knew of that.“Bahamut. You know this guy?”Raising his pistol aimed at Izumo, Cian aired out his voice as he looked at and asked Bahamut.“He's a r

Opening the doors to Bahamut's base, Magi was met with a white interior that had a minimalist design. There were stairs that led down to another room as Bahamut guided the way. It was the living room that was submerged and had a few gym equipment and white beds. It felt like a generic refuge house as the twins looked around.“This was a bunker for war before. We threw the rest of the beds in the basement and kept some of the furniture. This was created by those Tech Mages that were left behind. It was written on the computer there, but it seems like they were recovered in a bit.”Bahamut stood still as he observed the two inspect the bunker, seemingly new to the moving walls that had cabinets inside of them. They had normal weapons inside, swords and guns alike. Weapons without any special integrations were rare in themselves as they were useless against barriers, but they were good measures not against mages, but for those who would attempt anything within their group.Magi and Ci

In the twin's youth, Magi had always been missing out on the fun that Cian had. He would always be standing by a window, and even if Cian had called out to him, he would only smile. Cian wasn't always having fun. He was making sure that everyone around him was happy. So when he noticed that Magi would begin to disappear and appear from time to time, he knew that there was something wrong. “Mother Teresa? Where is Magi?”He would ask Teresa one day. Magi was nowhere to be found and yet, Teresa and her mother weren't even worried.Yet, as Cian's worried face asked Teresa, she couldn't help but feel guilty. They knew what Magi were up to, but they were told that they cannot tell Cian at any cost. In just months, the orphanage became much wealthier as they miraculously had more money. Aside from selling sewn clothes, Magi had been working himself to gain money. Cian was able to eavesdrop on Teresa and her mother's conversation, thanking Magi for his kindness. But, Cian had remember

“This reminds me of the past.”Following the tracks that Teresa had left, Cian found himself a distance away from the same farmlands he had fallen into before. It was now but a warehouse surrounded by muddy ground, housing armed men, and supply bins. [From the looks of it, this is one of the Viper's bases.]Informing Cian, Violet had scanned the visible people from the distance.“There's a lot of people for a small warehouse.”Looking through his pistol's holo-sights, Cian observed the warehouse from a roof. There were several men outside guarding, while there were far more than twenty men inside. There was no sign of Teresa, but her prints led here and were cut off at the entrance of the warehouse.“Tch. We won't find her by just looking!”Holding his pistol with two hands, Cian leaned in towards the ledge of the rooftop, ready to jump into action. However, he would remember Violet.“You're not gonna stop me?”Cian would ask her as he paused. [No. Even if I do, I know that you w
