73 Chapter 1 : Start

Hotel Paraíso Tranquilo.

In a room of about 9m² with a single bed for one person, some classical and simple decorations, James was sitting on a chair in front of a desk with a holographic tablet in his hand.

It was already a week since James arrived on DSM, by then he had already visited the neighborhood he was in and found information about the city.

He had exchanged the miserable points he had left in materials that he sold on the black market for about 20.000USM, he rented this relatively luxurious hotel room in the criteria of a planet full of criminals.

"It's already been a week, I think it's time to call him."

James left his chair then opened his bag at the back of the room and removed the card that Kanimir had given him, he returned to sit on the chair and put the card in front of his holographic tablet. A series of number appeared then on its screen.

"A spatial communication number, you really like discretion."

In this new era, communication requires extremely frightening technological and logistical means. Unlike the classic web, telephone calls by network or satellite, interspatial communication requires space portals linking all the planets, space induction satellites that allow the transfer of information via a semi-quantum server, not to mention the many and varied infrastructures needed to process the information.

Normally in a process of transferring information based on a quantum system no one other than the sender and receiver would have access to the information, but this is absolutely not allowed by the government.

All servers handling the information must be semi-quantum, i.e. have quantum computing power, but without achieving the optimal performance of a quantum system, then space private numbers come into play.

These are numbers that provide access to a truly untraceable quantum communication system, but being caught with such numbers can put you in prison for life.

These numbers are still loved by hackers, criminals, spies and others, James however scratched his hair in frustration, because it was a problem for him, to be able to make a call with this kind of system he needed a special device that he didn't have, finally he sighed and put the tablet and the card in his bag before lying on his bed.

"I need more money and above all I need to get better, God only knows what kind of enemy I'll meet in the future."

James was sure and certain that he had killed Lois and the man named Uglitsky at the warehouses.

But he reviews them alive and with a considerable increase of strength, he first suspected them of having used a particular skill, but he quickly denied this possibility because it is almost impossible for such a skill to exist in addition he had noticed a detail thanks to his senses.

Their bodies, although resembling the first one, were more complete and better structured as if they were their real bodies and that what they had destroyed was only a vulgar dummy of flesh, but thinking about it made him shudder.

"I am fighting a colossal enemy with strange means, the U.S.E. as support, I know in my heart that I escaped by chance, the enemy greatly underestimated me, otherwise if he had decided to use great means, I would already be captured or killed".

He clenched his fists firmly before whispering Start.

The world around him became dark for a moment but differently from previous times he stood in a space with a boundless starry sky strongly resembling the place in which he had evolved into a two-star creature.

A message written in red letters appeared in front of him.

[Please choose your destination].

[Destination available :

-Unknown World

-Hunter World : Beware this world will consume your special item Promise Mark]

"So a two-star traveler can choose his destination, but how can we know which world we will go to, only the name is indicated and maybe even the name I see only comes from my subconscious, after all, SW is different for each person according to the information the person has, it doesn't have much value."

James thinks for a brief moment before pressing the "Hunter World".

One of the stars in the sky lit up brightly and the world became dark again for James.

. . . . . . .

"Huh?"

James opened his eyes and woke up on an airship chair, in the cabin there were about fifty people sitting in their chairs, he turned his head and saw the clouds through the window, but before he had time to think, he suddenly remembered a recurring problem, a dreadful nausea overwhelmed him, the smell of sweat, breath and even farts from some shameless passengers came attacking his nostrils.

He quickly got up from his chair and looked for the toilet before vomiting for more than five minutes, his senses which had just regained their full power, tortured him for a good while before his condition returned to normal, after about ten minutes, he finally came out of the toilet looking exhausted.

"Excuse me, miss, can you tell me where we're going?"

He stopped a stewardess who answered him with a smile.

"Sir, the airship is heading towards Yorknew City."
