Altered Cosmos

Technology… The modern world of the 21st century revolves around it. From communication to movement and entertainment, technology has influenced everything we need and use to get by our everyday life. But as this technology developed to help better the world, there were also variants developed for destruction. As around the year 2035, the world leaders collaborated on a classified break-through project that was reported to revolutionize the military industry but in 2048, a certain incident occurred with the project which lead to a massive explosion which not only damaged the leader’s plans but also left a literal permanent mark on the earth’s surface with a huge debate on what caused this world-wide error. The debate became more violent as the leader’s began to question this event as mere accident or sabotage by a nation seeking the weapon for themselves… All conflict resolution attempts seemed futile and before the world knew it, a certain bomb attack on America in 2050 marked t

Levi takes the back door and enters the house but he deactivates his power when he sees a familiar figure in red with some maids working in the large kitchen. He hesitates a little before taking a deep breath and walking into the kitchen. The maids turn to their attention to the new presence in the room and smiled at him. “Welcome back, Levi.” The most elderly of the maids said and Levi waves at her but he flinches when he realised a particular woman staring at him. She was 42 years of age and she was basically the same height with Levi. She had a small x shaped birthmark on her forehead at the left side. And based on her similar Afro-Asian bronze skin-colour, brown eye and long black smooth hair which reached her back, you can tell that she was very closely related to Levi. “Hi, mum.” Levi said, sheepishly as she approaches him with a scary look on her face and she stops in front of him in silence. She suddenly gives him her signature scary-sweet smile and speaks. “Your father to

3 days later, Levi was playing basketball in the afternoon with some other kids his age on a basketball court not too far the northern gate of the village which lead to the seaport. A short boy dribbles past a defender and passes the ball to his teammate who quickly hurls it into Levi’s grasp. Two boys tried to stop him but Levi performs a professional drive through before performing a lay-up and the ball falls through the net with a swish. “That’s right.” Levi said as he high-fives his teammate just as the other team approached them. “You’re only winning because you have a Tron on your team.” The boy with the ball said and Levi chuckles as he turns to them with a hand on his hip. “For your information, I’ve not used my powers yet. I’m just a good player.” Another member of the opposite team spoke next. “Yeah right.” He sarcastically said and one of Levi’s teammate speaks up. “Come on guys. You all know Levi’s actually got some skills.” “Some?” Levi chuckles as he stares at his

In the midst of the burning and broken village, a figure zooms across the road, leaving a little gust of wind as he moves without a moment’s hesitation. Levi leaps on a car before flipping onto a lamppost with his hands tightly clasping the metal bar he is crouching on. He looks ahead where several attacks and fire was spread out throughout the village close to the southern gate with the threat advancing towards him. He grits his teeth in anger and his hands slowly crush the metallic pole. “Bastards…” He grumbled before closing his eyes and focusing on his senses, creating the holographic image of his environment in his head. He extends the range to the point of the battle zone where he could make out groups of Drals fighting different guards but he searches for a group which really needs his help…and turns to his left where he sees only two guards left with a large number of Drals closing on their location. He opens his blue eyes and leaps into the direction, his figure soaring

The shock of the attack by ‘the Tamer’ and its dral army became just a bad memory as time passes. It’s been 2 days after the attack and apart from the unfortunate loss of some of the guards in Asylum Bay, there was no civilian causality although there was a civilian who got severely injured. It was an afternoon and Levi was staying in one of the vacant guest rooms close to the house since it was torched. He was surprisingly healed completely, so perfectly that most people wouldn’t know how badly he got hurt that night. He was singing along to the song playing in his room as he was placing his clothes inside a suitcase. After he finishes packing his neatly folded clothes, he picks up a picture of his family’s photo and grimaces as he looks at his young bright smile from years ago. “Tomorrow’s the day.” He sighed before placing the frame into his suitcase and zips it up just as his music cuts off and an alarm sound fills the small room. “Damn. I’m late.” He mumbled as he grabs his
