11 Old

2.45. Do you call it evening? or is it still afternoon. The people of the Olden Age truly have a knack at naming things. A watch you put on a pocket is named a pocket watch. While the one you put on your wrist is called a wrist watch. Simple, I like it.

Look at some of the monstrosity name like fitbit. What the hell is it supposed to mean. Fit as in fitting size? or fit as in fitness? or both of them at the same time. Then what does bit mean? bit as in small? bit as in bite? The name is consufing. I hate that. Wait, fitbit was from the Olden A-.

"Mr Lux? You seemed to be lost in deep thought. Is there anything I could do to help?"

Came a voice I'm so familiar with. Wait what was I thinking again? Is this what they call memory lost? I'm having trouble remembering stuffs.

'Idiot Puppet. At least greet your butler first?'

"Yes? Ah Jack. A very fine morning isn't it?"

"Very good morning indeed Mister Lux. I've brought your luggage here. You must've forgotten to bring a luggage right? As I know your preferences, I've bought 3 pieces of the same clothing with matching colours for you." Replied Jack while slightly bowing. Still haven't raised his body after the first greeting I suppose.

"Jack I'm worried having to send you to a hospital if you keep bowing like that. Thank you for bringing my clothes here. I was just about to ask you to send me the reports every weekend. Oh yeah why are we talking in the outside. Since the room is just here, let's continue inside."

"As you wish." Said the butler while expertly opening the door and lifting up all the luggage inside.

The room is quite bigger than I thought. No one would complain as there is plenty of rooms even though every student here have to share a room with 4 other people. All the bed is empty, guess I'm the first one here so I'll just pick one near the window.

I didn't need to point or gesture, just a look was enough for Jack to understand my intention. He did everything, from making the beds, sorting out my luggage, ironing my clothes and storing them. Thats right, It was for this very reason I chose him as my butler. This old guy can do anything without being asked. I picked up the document luggage, placed it on top of a nearby table and took it all out. Seeing the dates on these documents, it was last weeks. I need to get through all this.

I was immersed in these documents so much that I didn't notice the passages of time creeping on me. It wasn't until my butler poured out a cup of tea that I returned to control. Soul was the one in charge of everything related to paper and desk. He did a great job everytime. Everything was perfect and the best part is I have memories of what happens each time I was phased out. That reminds me.. Memory lost. Hey Soul, are you messing with me?

'You're noticing it quicker. Worthy of someone of my level. Just like always, the vessel have reached it's limit. You're gonna need to strengthen it somehow. I estimate it will be around one month before you die. To be able to last thing long with two soul is admirable but you will strengthen it again right?"

This is ridiculous. This vessel should be able to hold at least 50 ordinary soul. A month huh? I saw the word cultivator on some translated document. Is it authentic?

'Yes. Now that the mana level or as everyone calls it, radiation level is rising, It would only be easier. Go to library later. I need more information.'

"Mr Lux? You've been.. lost a lot lately. At a worrisome frequency too. Are you ok?"

Snapped out of my thoughts I replied.

"I'm okay Jack. Just a lot to handle lately." I said while massaging my eyes. Then I massaged my head before my butler took the role of a masseur and asked me to lie on the bed.

*Crack Crack*

"Ahh.. that hit the spot. I haven't got a massage for a long time."

"You said the same barely a month ago. Mr Lux, haven't you thought of getting a successors? or just some woman. Perhaps you won't be under so much stress."

"Woman huh? Ah I need you to get me some info on these three girls. Three? Wasn't it just two? My mind is a mess. Anyway Jack try and see if you can find a blond girl of a powerful family registered today. Another one should be from a once rich family but is now probably struggling. She has a petite build. The hair is probably red or black. I'm not sure."

The butler stopped and stare for a while.

"Take a good rest master. Without you this city would collapse. Maybe even the world."

"Wait. Could we customize the wardrobe? I doubt this current one would hold." I stopped Jack from leaving. It is a slight error on both our part.

"Wardrobe? Oh! The decade of working with you have made me used to it. I forgot a pair of your suit would weigh about a kilo. Forgive me, this butler have grown old."

"Hahaha we both have grown old!"

"Hahahaha. Time kills everyone but you can't die yet master. Now then I'll go retrieve some tools."

As soon as the door closed I said to myself. There have been some inconsistency Soul. That petite kid's hair color. It was red the first time then the second time I saw her it was black. What was that about?

Borrowing my mouth to speak Soul gave a hearty laugh first before speaking.

"So you noticed. I Want Her Puppet. She is special. Her soul and heart."

"Special how? I don't like this Soul. I want.. Tell me everything."

"It have been 9 years since the Farmers sowed the seed. This world is growing out of control. Everything changes. Animals turned to beast and monsters. Insect became frighteningly ugly and big. Did you think human were exception? They too will evolve. That kid is special in that her soul is burning and her heart is freezing. People with keen perception will notice her hair color changed and sometimes they will see her 'twin' in varying location but usually far away from the real person. I suggest you hurry up and strengthen this vessel. I get a feeling a third calamity will fall on the 10th year."

Taking a piece of blank paper from the document luggage, I wrote

'I am out to hit the gym. -Lux'
