Chapter 141: The Villa, Creating The Simulated Worlds
It has been a month since Silas last went to the Villa. The last time he was at the Villa was when he used the Pod for his physical testing and short training that nearly gave him trauma.
Thinking of his last training with his clone, Silas felt that he would have having another one soon.
He thought he would have a satisfying fight with other Phenomenals, but he achieved was bullying them.
The drive to Newport Beach was torturous as usual, but it would be the last time he would making such trip. He plans to move the Pod from the Villa and put it in a cargo flight to Venezuela, and after that, he would have no reason to go to the Villa, ....except for the cars.
More than seven hours later, Silas arrived at the Villa. The Villa looked almost the same as he left it, except that it looks very clean.
"Sarah and Emma are very diligent at their his," Silas said to himself, as he looked around before walking to the door.
Silas' arrival alerted the Serah and Emma, as they ran to one the living area's window to confirm who it was. They looked at each other simultaneously in surprise when they saw a very handsome-looking young man step out of the unfamiliar car.
"Serah, who's that?"Emma asked in curiosity and confusion.
"Beats me. I'm just as curious and confused as you," Serah replied.
Emma smiled and looked at Serah, and nodded.
"That's a first."
"It is."
The short conversation between the two girls was something only the two of them understood.
Serah looked at the young man intently and she couldn't shrug off the familiar feeling she got from him.
"Emma, he kind of looks familiar. Don't you think?" She asked as she took a good look at the young man that was standing, and looking around.
"Now that you mentioned it, he does give me a familiar feeling. I actually thought he was back but it's someone else.... Wait a minute.." Emma said and narrowed her eyes.
She looked at the young man intently and closed her eyes briefly, as she quickly went down memory lane and went into deep thought.
The next moment, her eyes flung open and she covered her mouth in shock.
"Serah, it's him!" She exclaimed in a low voice, that sounds almost like a whisper.
Serah was confused by Serah words and action.
"What do you mean it's him? Who are you talking about?" She asked.
"Who else but our very own avatar," Emma replied, with a facial expression that says "Duh"
"By avatar, you mean...?" Serah was about to ask when she realized what Emma talking about, and she abruptly looked at the young man who was already walking towards the door.
"But how? How did he change so much in just over a month? Has it even been up to a month?" She asked herself out loud, in a mixture of confusion and surprise.
She just can wrap her head around the massive changes that occured in Silas' appearance.
According to her knowledge, the changes in Silas' appearance is too perfect to be called a skincare routine, and it's also impossible for it to be achieved through plastic surgery.
"Are you really asking that question?" Emma asked, as she looked at Serah like she was looking at a fool.
"He can make water drops float around his body, cause a gust of wind to blow, even when there's no wind blowing outside. Have you forgetten the bathroom incident? Or what about the massive stuff that's in his room? Are those not shocking enough and you're still shocked by the change in his appearance?" She asked.
"They are. It's just.." Serah said to herself in confusion.
"Someone can control water drops and you're shocked by the change in his appearance? Making water drops float and the change in his appearance, which is more unbelievable?" Serah asked, as she shook her head.
She really can't believe that it's Serah of all person that's confused by the changes in Silas' appearance.
Serah knew that Emma was right. Silas' ability to make water drops float is something that's more shocking than the changes in his appearance.
"Wait... Why do I feel like our position just changed?" She asked.
She felt that something just happened during their conversation, but she doesn't know what it is.
Emma looked at her friend in confusion.
"What position changed? You're standing there and I'm standing here, how did our position change or is his handsomeness affecting you?" She asked with a wink.
Serah sighed in relief when she heard Emma's response.
'Ah.. Back to normal,' She said to herself internally.
"Fuck you and the handsomesness that's affecting you. You better behave yourself, he's almost at the door," Serah said, and left the window and walked into the kitchen.
Emma saw her friend's action and also followed suit, as she scurried into the kitchen.

Silas opened the door and walked into the living area, and looked around curiously trying to find the girls.
He looked towards the kitchen and saw their figures standing behind the island.
"Welcome sir." They greetes when they saw him looking at them, and he nodded.
He saw Serah walk out of the kitchen and approach him. He was expecting her to be surprised by or even have a change in expression due to his change in appearance, but she has the usual expression on her face, a slight smile that looks welcoming.
"Welcome from your trip, sir. Should I prepare something for you to eat?" She asked.
"Yes, please do. I will be in my room, let me know when it's ready," Silas said, and went up to his room.
Serah nodded and went back to the kitchen to start preparing the food.
Upstairs, Silas walked into his room and dropped his phone on the bed.
"Luna,. power up the Pod." He said and walked towards it.
{Yes master.}
The next moment, the Pod powered up and the round button at its side, started glowing blue.
Silas took off the Gear and dropped it on the Bed, before walking towards the Pod.
When he got to the Pod, he pressed the circular glowing button and a low ding was heard, followed by a low, sharp hissing sound, as the glass section of the Pod opened up, puttiing its interior on full display.
Silas immediately got into the Pod and took his seat on its comfortable seat, and the glass section closed automatically.
After the Pod's glass section closed, Silas experience familiar feeling of losing consciousness and he lay back on the seat and relaxed.
After Silas was completely unconscious, the Pod started going through the user's verification process.
The verification process took a second and after it was done, it started booting.
After the booting was completed, the Pod's was displayed, and Silas regained consciousness in the digital world.
Silas saw two icons in the lobby and he chose the Domain's icon.
The Domain platform launched and Silas found himself sitting on the bed, in his room.
This is the default display he set for it to display whenever he launches it.
After everything was ready, Silas told Luna to get to work.
"Luna, let's get started. Start creating the two simulated worlds."
