WAKING UP…

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

The sound of the beeping monitor could be heard throughout the small white room, as a pair of dark blue pupils slowly revealed themselves to the world.

Zeras looked at the pure white ceiling that covered his entire vision as he squinted his eyes a little, feeling slight pain due to sudden light exposure. Something he hadn’t felt in a long time now.

Slowly, his brain began regaining its cognitive abilities as he slowly sat up from his sleeping position, eyes looking around the room, which was relatively empty save for the dark-haired and irises middle-aged man who sat down on the white sofa present on the opposite side of the room.

Zera’s eyes furrowed looking at the man as he tried to remember where last he saw him but failed to. He sat down, cross-legged, and was clothed in a properly ironed white-coloured long-sleeved t-shirt, properly tucked into his knee-length dark office pants.

His dark-colored suit wasn’t worn, but instead simply hung on his shoulder. Beside him, was a dark staff, decorated in aesthetic golden strips. At least that was what anyone who has called it, but Zeras knew they were runic lines, and the staff itself was a weapon.

KNOCK

KNOCK

The sound of knocking suddenly rang throughout the entire place as the door was unlocked and immediately entering was another man. Dressed in the same way as the man except he had very long white hair instead and donning a hat.

“Oh, you’re awake…” His voice of surprise rang in his ears as Zera’s eyes opened wide for some time before he hurriedly jumped from the bed and got on one knee.

“This young one has seen the grand commander…” Zeras said with respect. He immediately knew who the figure was none other than Commander Leviron. Although he had never seen him in the flesh, nor had he ever dreamed of seeing a commander in the flesh any time soon, he was still able to instantly recognize him.

“Rise, young one…” Commander Leviron said as Zeras slowly rose back.

“Let me introduce you to someone just as important as I am, Zeras.” Commander Leviron said as he wrapped his arm around his shoulder and walked him to the man sitting on the chair.

“This is none other than Commander Sigrid. The one responsible for the mission and he was also the one who found you…” Commander Leviron said as Zeras immediately tried getting on his knee but was raised back up by Commander Leviron.

“Don’t worry about that. Sigrid hates formality…” Commander Leviron said as Zeras looked at the man who slowly rose from his feet and clapped his hand tightly on his shoulder, before looking at the watch, his eyebrows furrowing in worry.

“You have been unconscious for a week now. How are you feeling?” Commander Sigrid asked as Zeras tried to get a feel of his own body by closing his eyes and directing his consciousness through his entire body, his face dropping to rock bottom which the commanders didn’t fail to notice and slowly he opened his eyes.

“Very Weak. It is the same feeling as when I was at the Late Star rank stage…” Zeras replied as the Commander’s face also dropped.

“But apart from cultivation base strength, do you feel weak, like pain in your body or something like that…” Commander Sigrid asked.

“No, I don’t. I’m completely fine…” Zeras replied truthfully. He truly was feeling extremely well, in the sense that he wasn’t feeling any pain at all.

“There are some important things you need to know, Zeras…” Commander Sigrid said seriously as Zera’s eyebrows furrowed and he sat down on the bed.

“Firstly, is that you have been crippled Zeras. That is probably why you feel so weak, like when you’re at the Late Star rank stage. It is even a miracle you feel as strong as a late star rank stage. Past studies of people who were crippled indicated that they felt weaker than ordinary mortals who were not even cultivating at all. They were as weak as a 7-year-old baby. You’re a very strange exception to that and a never-before-seen case…” Commander Leviroon said as Zeras raised an eyebrow before chuckling to himself.

‘Even after getting crippled, I’m still a special case. It’s like the world just wants me to be exceptional in all realms…’

“After learning that you were crippled. We’ve gone through all that we can to cure the problem which is getting back your mana core, but we couldn’t find it and guessed it has probably been destroyed. So, we tried searching the ancient archives but…”

“You couldn’t find a solution…” Zeras completed as Commander Leviron gave a nod.

“But we did find a way. A way for you to at least return to your former peak…”

“OH? What is that?” Zeras asked, his eyes shining with a new light.

“Nano-technology….” Commander Sigrid replied.

“Huh?”

“It is the transplanting of your human organs to that of robotic. As you may know, well there are metallic blades capable of ripping an entire mountain to bits, and plasma guns that can rip open a hole through the body of a peak meteor rank stage.” Commander Sigrid said as Zeras gave a nod.

“We have a few in the EIA, who have chosen to go for Nanotechnology cultivation. Some Elite soldiers in the EIA, who have even reached the major position ranking. That is the only way you can grow back your strength. By starting newly on the path of Nano-technology cultivation…” Commander Leviron said as Zera’s eyebrows furrowed.

“We weren’t going to ask whether you want that or not and immediately proceed with the process before you regain consciousness. So, when you wake up, you’ll just know you have embarked on a new path of cultivation and work hard to quickly rise through the ranks just as you have always done. But one thing stopped us and caused us to cancel any attempt on you….” Commander Sigrid said as his eyes turned sober.

“According to our calculations Zeras, you…you…you…” Commander Leviron said slowly taking off his hat, but still unable to complete the word.

“You only have at most three years to live Zeras.” Commander Sigrid completed.
