Magic God: Techno-Dystopia

Check your Body for Enhancements

"Don't you think it's about time we have dinner? I think we have been here so long, grandma should have finished with it already..." She sat on top of a high building in this virtual world with a ghost beside her.

A literal ghost.

"If that's what you want..." While they were playing here she answered all the questions he had.

At first, she stated that whatever information she has it's what's available to the public, and according to it there isn't any particular activity that's putting the world at 'edge' in fact... the news say that the world is healthier than ever with a relatively recent technology that bases on plant life...

Bullshit.

Morpheus asked what peoples do regarding these matters and she said, that most people don't involve themselves with those things as most successful businesses are run in virtual environments like this one and they're mostly entertainment.

Moreover, this world is not as connected... there are four major countries that reign in this world.

The United Kingdom took hold of the entire Europe.

The United States takes hold of the entire America.

China held half of Asia while Russia held the other half.

As for the African continent... according to the media, it's extinct... there is no life in there, but it's because it's been used as a biodome reserve in order to keep this world 'green'.

That's all the information that could be found on the internet, but there was something very fishy and it was mostly Morpheus capacity to detect this planet's vitality... if such a thing as a  green biodome existed... this planet wouldn't be in this state.

"Most energy extracted is from Geokinesis, it's a type of energy that's extracted from the Earth, that, aside from the energy that we take from the sun with the Dyson sphere that started being built a hundred years ago... it's still yet to be completed, only with 20% advance so far."

"Dyson sphere?" He furrowed his brows, anything that has to do with the sun is something that shouldn't exist, to begin with, perhaps... that's one of the main reasons as to why this planet is in such decline.

In order for a planet to live, the vitality from the sun is necessary and indeed, there is something that's stopping the sun from projecting enough light into this world, however, only that shouldn't be enough to draw it down this state.

'Perhaps it's that 'geo-kinetic' energy...?'

"I don't know all the details of its production, but it's a sphere that covers the sun and extracts the energy from it, taking it somewhere, at least... that's how it should be..."

She even showed him pictures from hundreds of years ago.

He noticed that up until some point, humanity's evolution seemed to have stagnated.

They achieved so much in such a low amount of time, but then suddenly it's as if they stopped.

Why?

As they spoke about all those things and played her games, they didn't take notice of the time.

"Morpheus.."

"...?"

"It's five o'clock in the morning... I think grandma should be more than asleep..."

"Oh? but she said she'd call us when she was ready..."

"Perhaps she didn't want to interrupt us..." she gave him a sidelong glance, this is more than likely the answer behind the incident.

"Then it's about time we disconnect... it was fun, Sarah..."

"Yes, I... had a lot of fun too." Yes, it had been so long since she had this much fun with anyone, mostly because he's useless playing games, rendering to a bunch of funny situations.

[Connection to server: dropped]

As they took out their 'devices' it was already all dark with only the light brightness from the neo that automatically dimmed as it was already late.

He stood up, intending to leave back to his room, but she spoke again.

"Aren't you going to check up on my arm?" She stammered and regarded him.

"Uh? but it's late already, Sarah... you should sleep."

"Don't worry... It's Sunday, I don't have school... I can bear to wake up a little later, you were curious right?" She asked, biting her lips.

'...' Her thoughts were empty, the words were coming out of her mouth on their own.

"Okay... let me see..." Since he also didn't need to sleep, he went on with her suggestion, he's really interested in how those things work, in fact, he had been studying the VR the entire time, but can't get to the bottom of this 'connection' thingy.

How is the information transmitted? there aren't even wires.

After asking all kinds of questions to Sarah, there is more than the distinctive thing that has gotten his attention... something that shouldn't be possible considering the degree of connectivity this planet has.

The lack of available information...

He sat beside her and she placed her arms on his lap, having the light of the room increase slightly.

He took one of her arms and touched it.

"How exactly does this work, why is it soft?" He touched her 'skin' and unlike before, it was soft, like a normal hand, but this is obviously not flesh...

"This is a kind of mouldable steel called VanadiumIV, by giving it nanobot properties, I can make it either be as hard as steel or as soft as a skin... this is a practical enhancement, its purpose is to give the user the experience of having a real body, I can even sense everything more accurate with it than I did when I had my hands, otherwise, why do you think people would exchange their hands for an 'enhancement'...?" She even felt the tickles from his touch.

"I see..."

"In most military or in the cases of gangs, they don't have this kind of enhancement, theirs is fully combat-oriented, it's hard material like TungstenII or III depending on the price you're willing to pay, mine is 'average' not cheap or expensive..."

"It's interesting..."

"I can even do this, look" She motioned to him and then her bionic hand changed into a flashlight."

"...?"

"It's inside the mechanism, depending on the engineer you could even ask to have a gun or something else in there... in my case, I wanted a flashlight..." Sarah regarded his reaction, he's always against anything that's 'artificial' so... she thought that perhaps he would be disgusted.

He wasn't.

"It's efficient..."

She bit her lips and moved her hand, to his chest, through his shirt.

"...?"

"I'd also like to make sure that you don't have any enhancements, you said you didn't!"

"Of course, I don't my body is flesh and bone..." For a while, he didn't pay attention to her roaming bionic arm.

"Then let me check? I don't believe you managed to defeat me without any enhancement, you're just jesting, it might be some kind of 'last-generation' one that can conceal itself pretty well." She insisted.

"Hmph! test as you want, girl... I have nothing to hide"

He raised his arm up and she started to touch it, it was smooth and toned, not like overly muscular, just toned.

"You see, there is no way that you could defeat me with these weak muscles!"

"Whether you want to believe it or not is not my business... you were beaten anyway, that's the reality of the situation."

!!!

She had wanted to look for ways to further 'inspect' him without being so blatantly... lusty.

But with that comment, now she's going to do it seriously!

"Then do you dare stand there for me and let me check you up!?"

"Hm? and why would I do that? I have nothing to prove..."

"Let's make a bet, if I find that you have enhancements, you're going to clean my room every day from now on!" She stood up with her chest wiggling inside her shirt, pointing her slightly longer nails at him with a challenge.

"Ha? and what if I win..."

'Got you!'

"If you win I'll clean the entire house every day... grandma won't have to do a thing..."

"..."

'Come on... do it...' she smirked inwardly, he's not stupid, it's difficult to lay down a trap for him.

"But that's something you should do without even needing me to tell you, Sarah." He furrowed his brows at her suggestion, isn't that her responsibility!?

"Yes, but I'll do it only weekly, if you win, however, not only will I do it daily, but also... I'll try to get some money to restore the house, what about that?!"

'Accept...'

"Very well foolish brat, I have nothing to hide... search  away." It would be mostly a favour for Rachel than anything else, like this she won't have to tire herself out with the house.

"..."

The teenager saw how he stood up in front of her, towering above her by a good ten centimetres.

Well, she's a tall girl too.

Her hands started to roam about, and the first thing she did was to remove that weirdly metallic belt that he has.

"...?"

"I need to take out some things to make sure, Morpheus... you won't cheat."

"Hmph!"

After licking her lips slightly, she moved her bionic hands around his shirt and opened it button by button, giving way to his chest, his luscious chest.

She started to feel him up.

"Oh... nothing here... nothing here..."

Her hands moved around as her body kept approaching more and more to him, and what started as a 'friendly' check-up was starting to become something else in front of Morpheus' eyes.

'...'

She moved her hand around his arms and pinched slightly harder, "Oh, nothing in your arms... then what about the legs, that kick that you gave Ashton, surely you must have enhancements in your legs..."

"..."

It was then that she approached her body to his the most that she could, almost to the point that they felt each other's breaths, her hands snuck inside his touches and directly grasped his butt, hard!

!!!

She licked her lips a little more, perky...

But when she was about to continue, he grasped her hands!

"I'm not finished... a little more." She panted... moving her gaze closer, her lips trying to get close to his...

"..."

<Soul Search>

Morpheus saw her 'feelings' and he sighed.

*THUD!*

He pushed her away!

!!!!

"Morpheus..."

"Good night, I'll see you tomorrow..."

His things started to float back to his body as he departed the room without moving back his gaze back to her.

She extended her hand, a little afraid, maybe she went too far?

Sarah sent so many signals that any common man might have mistaken her for a traffic light!

But he didn't do anything, however, what she didn't like was not that she had been rejected, but... the melancholy in his expression as he departed the room.

"Morpheus... I..." She thought about explaining herself, but what was she going to say? I'm attracted to you.

'Will he think I'm an easy girl?'

In truth even she wondered this, she hadn't reacted like this with any boy before, she's usually the one being courted, not the other way around.

'I should wait more... until we know each other better... I think I acted impulsively...' she only hoped it wouldn't be awkward between them tomorrow, they had such a good time today.

She regarded her crotch that was only covered with some tigh-length shorts.

That slightly darker spot on her crotch... she knew it too well.

The raven-haired beauty sighed and plopped on the bed... thinking about him... about what she would say to Ashton before breaking up with him tomorrow... about what she would do with her grandma and the house, about this heat she's feeling right now, mostly about that...

Eventually, however, she sighed again and took a pack of tissues...

Meanwhile, Morpheus sat on his bed... thinking about the only possible name that could have elicited physical 'desire' from him.

Yaksha.

Those moments when they desperately sought each other's bodies every morning, every night... they moved through his head like a repetition cassette, had that been love? or lust...?

He doesn't know, he only knows that those memories lay fondly within his mind.

'I'm sorry... Yaksha...'

He just allowed someone else to touch his body, moreover... it wasn't until much after that he realised that Sarah had those intentions, is he that gullible?

Even with that bombshell of a body, In his eyes, Sarah is like a little girl that's a little mischievous... turns out, he can't see her as such anymore.

The girl has desires, and those desires are being directed at him.
