1 The End Of A Legend

(On a small, privately-owned island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean)

"Uhhh my head is still a bit dizzy. Where the hell am I?" A young man wakes up and finds himself lying on the floor with his hands tied back. "Wait why am I tied up?" He thinks to himself. He gets up and looks around the dark room.

The room is completely empty with just a chair in the middle of the room. "How did I end up here?" he thinks to himself just as he hears an enchanting rather familiar voice.

"So you finally woke up, I thought I messed up the amount of the drug in your drink, my darling~".

As he hears the soft voice, he finally comes to his senses and remembers how he got here.

The man tied up here is none other than the young prodigy Xyno Evertale, 23 years old, the same Xyno who shook the whole tech industry at the age of 14 by writing a whole new algorithm to simplify the source code of a program. He was orphaned at the age of 6 and had nothing, but became a self-made millionaire at the age of 16. Dropping out of High School and having found his own tech company at the age of 18, his company was worth more than 35 billion dollars in just 5 years. He was recognized by everyone all over the globe and was considered a genius on par, if not smarter than Einstein.

He was a hedonistic guy until he met the girl of his dreams, Nicole 6 months ago. She was the perfect woman for him, both intelligent and smart. She enjoyed his company just as much as he enjoyed hers.

She started as an intern in his company, wanting to hone her skills. He recognized her skills and took her in as his assistant. Gradually she became his girlfriend. Her work was both elegant and perfect. For once in his life, Xyno had found something interesting in this world, someone who may have made him look at the world from a different angle. But this was the biggest mistake he could have ever made in his whole life.

It was her birthday and they had decided to go to a café at a remote place in the outskirts of the city they lived in. This was the last thing he remembers before waking up inside that room on that remote island.

"What's this Nicole? Why am I tied up?"

The woman came close and caressed his face

"Oh darling don't think ill of me but we need really need you to sign this deal and we promise not to hurt you~"

"What are you talking about?" Xyno asked as he tried to move around but the effects of the drug were still lingering.

Nicole licks her lips. "The deal you rejected the last week from the Umbrella Corporation"

"Oh I see what this is, so you were one of their lapdogs after all" Xyno says as he lifts up one of his eyebrows. "It did kind of struck as odd to me that you were so pushy to convince me to seal the deal". Xyno smiled and answered," I will not be selling off my life's work to another company who just wishes to use it for their own benefit"

Nicole frowned and snorted "You are going to make the deal even if I have to torture you into agreeing. No one is going to come to your rescue since we are on a private island owned by the Umbrella Corporation. And we also have backing from the government"

Nicole turned around and starting walking towards the door but her eyes looked complex and helpless. During the time she spent with him she got to know that he had a rather kind and caring side too, completely different than his cold and 'I don't wanna talk' personality.

"Hahaha" Xyno starts laughing in a weird way." You think you guys can abduct me, keep me in here and torture me so that I will give in to your intentions?" Xyno gets up as he feels the effect of the drug fading away. "Try all you want. I will never bend down in front of those bitches. They can only borrow lapdogs to do their dirty job."

Nicole turned sharply and replied," This is for the sake of the country, hundreds of thousands of people who are suffering in the country can live a happy and fulfilling life because of this. The Government wants betterment of the citizens"

"Betterment you say? The government wants betterment of the same people they have locked away in cages just because they protested against discrimination? Don't make me laugh. The fat asses just want to live a casual life and never do a damn thing for the citizens."

Suddenly Xyno frees himself from the handcuffs and runs towards Nicole. Even though Nicole is a secret agent Xyno easily knocks her out. Not only that he was a genius, he was also much better than a average human in terms of strength.

He ran out of the room and starts running in a random path, hoping to find the exit. While running he looks out of the window and realizes that he is inside a very tall building. In one of the rooms he found all his belongings he had on him before he was kidnapped. (or rather man-napped? xD)

He knocked some goons out and found a place with internet connection to contact his life's work. His creation.

"Sasha, activate master control. You are in Doom Security Mode."

"What happened master Xyno? You sound very anxious"

"Calm down. I want to make this clear, I might die today. In no condition are you allowed to take orders from anyone as of this moment. And remember, never do something that will harm the entire Human race. You still are not mature enough to understand the reality of this cruel world, even if you are an advanced A.I."

Sasha speaks in a frail voice, almost as if she was crying(virtual tears obviously xD) "But master, without you I won't be happy"

"I know sweet cheeks, but I don't have a choice here. Even the government is against me and I'm in a far-away place owned by the Umbrella Corporation. Just remember that I was always proud of you, you were my greatest creation ever."

"Sorry and good bye, Sasha" As Xyno cuts off the signal he hears footsteps running towards him around the corner. He attempts to run away from the guards but soon finds a dead end at the roof of the building. He looks down from one of the railings of the roof and sees that its a straight fall down to one's demise. He gets surrounded by 4 armed men pointing 5.56 caliber rifles at him. Nicole comes in front while holding her head, still being fuzzy in the head due to the knockout.

"You should be more reasonable than this. Your work is going to help change hundreds of thousands of lives. And you will get many benefits for cooperating"

"Reasonable you say? There hasn't been a moment I was reasonable." Xyno gives off a laugh and suddenly dashes in and gets a hold of Nicole.

"I came to rock this world and when I leave this shit hole, I will shake this world! I have already made all the preparations to expose the true faces of you people"

"Now come, let's end this life together my love" Xyno says to Nicole as he moves closer to the railing. Nicole makes no effort to get away from him or stop him. Both of them jump off the railing. Xyno holds Nicole tightly and says "I read the signs you made. You didn't betray me after all my love, but why did you do all this?"

"I don't know, my heart just didn't feel right doing all this. In all the time we spent together, even if it was to persuade you to make the deal, I slowly started loving you as a woman." Nicole and Xyno share a passionate kiss as they keep falling, slowly gaining speed.

"See you on the other side my love" Nicole says to Xyno as tears start welling up in her eyes.

"Sure" Xyno nodded and replied. Just as their heart-touching moment ended a rift in space opens beneath them and sucks them in.

And this is how the greatest Legend of this world and his lover met their end. As instructed by Xyno Sasha leaked all of the dirty work of the government and Umbrella Corporation he had collected in secret over the years. And the news of his death at the hands of the villains soon followed. But Xyno didn't know that his adventure was about to start a new.

Somewhere in the void Xyno starts to wake up. "Uhh where am I?" Xyno run his hands around his whole body. "I should have died by the impact of hitting the ground from such high altitude" Xyno looks around and realizes that he is in a void full of nothingness. It's pitch-black as far as the eye can see.

"I see that you have finally woken up. It has been eons since someone step foot into my void" A mysterious figure speaks to him in a feminine voice.
