Reunion

Miller, Martha, and James stepped into the comforting embrace of the familiar farmhouse. The scent of freshly baked bread mingled with the warmth of a crackling fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere that enveloped them. As they settled around the kitchen table, Martha's eyes filled with curiosity and concern.

"Miller, my dear, tell me everything," Martha said, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and worry. "Where have you and James been. I have been really worried."

Miller took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to convey the extraordinary events they had experienced. He started from the moment they stumbled upon the teleporter device, their inadvertent journey to the unknown planet, and their subsequent arrival on Citarada.

He described the vibrant world, the incredible creatures, and the breathtaking landscapes they had encountered. He painted vivid pictures with his words, bringing the fantastical realm to life for his mother. However, he decided to omit the mention of the System, knowing that Martha had enough to digest for now.

Martha listened intently, her eyes widening with each revelation. She couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and concern for her son's safety during their adventurous escapades. But beneath it all, there was a glimmer of pride in her eyes, knowing that Miller had faced unimaginable challenges with bravery and determination.

As Miller finished recounting their extraordinary journey, Martha embraced him tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. "Oh, my brave boy," she whispered, her voice filled with a mix of emotions. "I'm so glad you're back safe and sound. I can't imagine what you went through, but I'm proud of you."

Feeling a sense of relief and belonging in his mother's arms, Miller held onto her tightly. He realized the significance of this moment—the importance of family and the love that bound them together. The adventures he had embarked upon had given him newfound appreciation for the people who mattered most in his life.

Days turned into a week, and Miller's priorities shifted. He bid farewell to anything relating to the System, since arriving at his house for a straight Seven days, The System and Miller had not spoken to each other for that period. Miller was now focusing instead on reconnecting with his normal life. With the start of a new semester, he eagerly returned to school, anxious to reunite with his best friend, Watson.

(NOTE: IN THIS NOVEL, EARTH HAS ONE GOVERNMENT SYSTEM, THERE ARE SCHOOLS AND EVERYONE IS EXPECTED BY LAW TO GO TO A MILITARY ACADEMY FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS).

(NOTE: THIS WAS NOT MILLER'S FIRST TIME IN SCHOOL, HE WAS IN SCHOOL PREVIOUSLY BUT HE WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE SCHOOL PREMISES BECAUSE OF HE INFORMED THE SECURITIES OF HIS MOTHER'S DEATH).

(NOTE: IT WAS IN SCHOOL MILLER AND WATSON MEET AND BECAME BEST FRIENDS).

As Miller stepped through the familiar school gates, he spotted Watson's familiar figure among the crowd. A wave of excitement surged through him, as he approached his friend, a smile stretching across his face. Watson turned, and their eyes met, instantly recognizing the bond they shared.

Without a word, they embraced each other in a genuine hug, a silent affirmation of their friendship and the unbreakable connection they had forged over the years. It felt as if time had stood still, and in that moment, all the worries, adventures, and uncertainties faded into the background.

As they pulled away from the hug, Watson's eyes sparkled with a mixture of joy and curiosity. "Miller, where have you been? I've missed you," he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Miller chuckled, realizing that he had a lot to catch Watson up on. With a glint of excitement in his eyes, he began recounting their extraordinary journey, sharing the tales of the unknown planet, the tournament, and the incredible sights they had witnessed.

Watson listened attentively, captivated by every word. It was as if a whole new world had opened up before him, and he couldn't wait to embark on new adventures alongside his best friend. Their bond, forged through shared experiences and unwavering support, only grew stronger with each passing moment.

(NOTE: MILLER KEPT THE ASPECT OF THE SYSTEM A SECRET FROM WATSON AND HIS MOM).

The Military School was really big. It looked like an entire city on its own. It had a market, Mall, Cinemas and The School itself which was the biggest building combined and was at the center.

Watson and Miller entered the school and went straight to their room in the boys hostel. The two were actually roommates. Watson and Miller felt like brothers.

(NOTE: THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER SO MORE PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO RESUME).

Miller and Watson looked at each other and they started sharing about their nerdy lives. Watson wore glasses, he could not see clearly without those glasses. Watson was a little bit short and had a big belly, but not that big to be considered a but belle. But big enough to be insulted by others.

Watson and Miller started sharing about their bullied lives in school. In the midst of everything, Miller started to remember his fight with Ethan. Miller knew himself to be a weakling in school. But miraculously, the so called weakling had become stronger with the help of the System to be able to defeat A Mutant like Ethan; Who was considered strong even by his fellow Anti-Meta Human travellers soldiers.

"You are more than a blessing, than a curse" Miller said inside his head to the System.

(NOTE: WATSON WAS NOW EXPLAINING HIS BORING LIFE WHILE MILLER WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SYSTEM).

Miller knew the System could hear him. But he did not know why the System refused to talk to him. MILLER knew a Way, he could make the System talk to him:

"System, i want to tell my best friend; Watson about you".

"No, don't" The System said.

"Why should..." Miller was not able to complete his sentence, Because this time red words were displaying on his retina. Naturally speaking the words displayed were always green. But why was in red Right now. The words displayed were:

[ALERT]

[THE CELESTIAL HARMONIZER IS TELEPORTING TO THE HANDS OF THE USER]

[DOES THE USER ACCEPT?]

[YES]. [NO]

These words confused Miller, what was the Celestial HARMONIZER and why was it teleporting to his hands.

Since, the System had told Miller to keep everything relating to it's existence a secret from Watson. He had to maybe accept the Teleportation somewhere else.

"I need to go to the restroom to ease myself" Miller lied to Watson as he stepped out of the room.

Miller Immediately went to the bathroom. He shut and also locked the doors Behind him.

"Accepted" Miller said.

The next words that flickered at his retina were now green:

[YES]

[THE CELESTIAL HARMONIZER IS NOW TELEPORTING TO THE USER'S HAND]

After those words flickered at his retina, a white light could be seen shinning brightly at the bathroom and then the light deemed out and at the palms of Miller was a sleek handheld console crafted from lightweight yet resilient metallic material. It boasts a pearlescent finish that dances with shifting colors, reflecting the cosmic wonders it seeks to unravel. Intricate celestial motifs and symbols are etched upon its surface, while translucent panels emit a soft, radiant glow when activated. At its heart, a holographic display unfolds which displayed these words in green colour:

[THE CELESTIAL HARMONIZER HAS SUCCESSFULLY ENTERED THE HANDS OF THE SYSTEM'S CHOSEN ONE].

After A Millisecond, another Green words flickered on Miller's retina:

[THE CELESTIAL HARMONIZER HAS SUCCESSFULLY TELEPORTED]

[WOULD YOU LIKE TO STORE IT IN YOUR QUANTUM VAULT?]
