Prologue : Geopunk Inc.

Inside of a spacious room full of unusual amount of metal scraps, wires, and other materials which are obviously used in creating mechanical engines, stood six persona's with different characteristics to each other near the left corner of the room looking to each other.

The first one were a tall individual with milky white skin, silver hair reaching the elbow length, highlighting the scrutinizing and small emerald eyes in his narrowed gaze, the rest of the face were womanly but not in the ears, which is pointing upwards the sky it's pointed edge, another reason of why the person isn't a female was because of the lack of jiggling assets or at least the bumpy soft part in the front, the individual were wearing the attire similar to human scientists and a clear square shaped glasses.

(A/N : is it just me or did I just taken a description of a trap?)

The second one, albeit littler than the first, she wasn't the smallest on the flock and were indeed a woman looking unlike the first, a pink haired woman with large mountains in front, the very noticeable feminine feature of hers, her pinky smooth skin, flame pink eyes, cherry pink lips, and heart shaped face(outline) had shown her unearthly charm when she goofily smiled before pouting, a small pair of gray horns are present in her scalp's outline, she weared the same attire of the first but now with.

(A/N : just think of some demon girl lol)

For the third and fourth, you could say that they are twins, same facial features and identical, specifically male twins. Red hair, red eyes, square shaped jawline, tanned human skin, and the most abnormal parts were the pairs of red furred fox ears protruding in their heads, five long fluffy tails, whisks in their cheeks, red fur in some parts and overgrown fangs that were noticeable since it's already out from their lips(basically, the tooth can be seen outside since it's out). They are slightly taller than the first since the ears were their advantage, they were sleeveless shirts that looks like military's in green and black, and the obvious cargo pants with dark shade of green that is almost mistaken as black.

(A/N : wonder if these two were a girl, would they looks like gyaru's or not?)

The fifth were indeed the shortest in all of them, a man with bulky body, lightly brown skin, white hair and long braided beard almost covering his hairy chest. You can say that he was wearing only a sando shirt and thick cargo jeans dyed in darkest blue color, a goggles were sitting calmly in his neck while he holds a box full of mechanical tools.

(A/N : If you read the manhua/manhwa/manwha of "Second life of a Ranker", this ol little man looks like the dwarf in the receipt stage or a safe zone before going to the 11th floor)

The sixth individual were more or less normal looking guy, average height, brown messy hair, baby blue eyes, snow white skin, muscled physique and also weared the same attire of the first and second.

(A/N : just think of this man look like "Ethan Winters")

In the middle(of the room), were a large cage hatch with fine glass in rectangular shape surrounding it, carved and unique images or letters are littered in the edges holding the glass as support, each corners have a protruding small altar like chalice with precious stones embedded in the sockets in each one. Inside the cage were a small but bulky body made of mechanical parts sitting lifelessly in a spring chair, nothing other than cogwheels, wire, and metal platings. The eyes, nose, head, and even the torso weren't defined as natural, bending in odd ways or even flattened out like a cutting boards surface.

Each of them were looking to the body inside with contempt, hoping that they should be in the road of success this time at least, and started to operate. The first, second, fourth, and fifth go in the front of the chalices, while the third and fifth didn't stayed still and go where a bunch of mechanical decoding machine are present and started their part too.

(A/N : it's easy to guess, so I made it a bit of messy explanation lol)

The four nodded in each other ignoring the other two whose already operating the machine, and started to touch each stones next to one. The two turned back at the four others and nodded at each other, they started typing and at the time they've done, the other four were already moving their hands in the stones at the chalice.

The moment they touched the stone, the four started to feel fatigue and drowsiness attacked them, though they of course struggled at this. Pained groans and grunts emerged and echoed through the room and halls, the complexity of the task they've been doing were much more than normal.

The fifth looked back at them with worry, before turning his gaze back at the third.

Fifth : "You sure they can do this, Fen?"

The third looked at him hesitantly before nodding and answering back.

Third : "Maybe... they can't, but heck now, just trust Basil at these. It's not like Big Bro would go cripple at these, at least..."

At these answer, Fifth already know that even the third or Fen weren't enjoying what's happening. They looked back at the monitor and tentatively watched the codes showing each seconds in fast rate, mostly because of the power check.

⪼Energy : 78%⪻

The two waited but still concerned at what's happening to the other four, Fifth, unlike Fen weren't having any attachment to those people, it's just that he still didn't want anything to occur damaging the whole site and their project, added the fact that he already given up the likehood of seeing horrible situations.

Suddenly, everyone heard a ringing that made them all cheer inside.

Everyone : "*Finally!*"

⪼Energy : 100%⪻

A female voice resounded inside the room, or so at least being specific, the monitor.

Voice : "Energy has been fully recovered, reconfiguration, transmission, activation processes starting"

Hearing this, the brown haired man cheered.

Sixth : "Fucking finally! now we just need to see if this 999th trial will go in successfully. Heck, I don't even want a thousandth time here, makes me go senile..."

He said chuckling while the others laughed at his odd joke, Second sighed in relief since they at least did it again, the reason why they feel drowsy before were the reason why Sixth said those words.

Geopunk Incorporation, that was the name of the group of this six individuals.

They are a bunch of nerds that tried miserably or tried many times to create something that was fas more higher than humans, golems, and robots alike, specifically, a geniuine type of robot.

A robot that can absorb mana in surroundings, eat, live, and feels emotions like humans, have a strength and power since birth like a giant orc and speed that is as fast as Tritinium Beak, a kind of phoenix bird that have a complexed affinity in ancient metals.

The fun did become sadness later when the monitor popped up a screen, this time everyone panicked and decided to run out of the room.

⪼WARNING! UNSTABLE REACTION FOUND! FINDING SOLUTION! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! INITIATING SELF-DESTRUCT IN 5 SECONDS⪻

Not minding everything, everyone started to run while laughing, not with joy but in solemn, since they already know that when that monitor showed that notice, it's far from good. Though they were confused, what the hell did happen?

After sometime of running, they finally come out of the place and a loud explosion happened next.

The place shaked and the ceiling crumbled, though they were already safe and just watched of how the place slowly get destroyed.

Fifth : "What the heck? what did just happened? did we pushed some wrong button?"

Fifth asked Fen quizzically, but he shaked his head.

Fen : "No, we didn't. I did read everything in the manual Raven made, and I know that you too did read it, I didn't kno..."

Sixth feeling frustrated, didn't keeped up his cool and started shouting in rage.

Sixth : "What the hell are you asking about? you didn't notice? it's just you two are present in the control corner! Just what the fuck did you do before we started?"

He said pointing his fingers in the two, Fen just snorted and Fifth shrugged.

Fen and Fifth : "It's not like we did something other than pressing the buttons here and there, Ivan"

They said in unison rolling their eyes in the other outburst from Sixth, or Ivan whose fuming in rage.

Ivan : "Excuses again? just what the hell are you even doing at these group? It's just me, Michael, Elisa, and Anubis doing everything rightly, and you! can't you even do you work properly?"

At these, Michael, or First just sighed in feminine voice.

Michael : "Calm your horses, Ivan. They didn't do anything, you know?"

Ivan whose glaring now Michael were about to retort when Elisa, or Second interfered.

Elisa : "Cut it out guys, let's just try it again you know?"

At these Ivan snapped at her.

Ivan : "Try again? fuck that, I'm out of this shit, and don't even try to cut my words again! Demon Bitch!"

*Slap!*

Elisa hearing the insult didn't waste time and deliver a strong slap to Ivan which made the latter fly few meters away at the five, she was angered with the childish attitude of that man.

Ivan, quickly recovered dashed to Elisa with a bright light in his hand, Elisa readied herself and opened her mouth chanting a defensive spell for that light when Anubis, or Fourth stopped the commotion.

Anubis : "Let's stop these today, now I think we should go back at our homes for now. It's not like someone would know this right?"

He said smiling, but the words have pressure in it.

Ivan glared at them before huffing, he quickly left using some kind of teleportation magic leaving the five.

Fifth sighed, before shaking his head while looking at everyone whose already preparing to leave the site.

******

Fifth : "I'm home!"

Fifth shouted barging at the door of his house, a small wooden house that didn't even reach 8 meters tall in height. What entered his view were the clean and well lighted room, couch and a table placed elegantly in his left side of view, then at the farther corner were a small woman humming while cleaning the ingredients for a meal showing him her chubby back.

Noticing the voice, the woman quickly turned around, her face were chubby ones and were smiling cutely, eyes of golden hue looking with warmth and red hair swirled in delight, she wears a mint green colored apron and normal house clothes of white and long duster.

Fifth's wife : "Oh, you're here! How's the work today hunny?"

Fifth quickly run to her hugging her carefully making her gasp and giggle.

Fifth : "Failed in making a prototype golem again, Ivan got hotheaded as usual and as usual again, Anubis stopped the quarrel. How about you, Veronica?"

Fifth then moved his hands above and then stopped in her chest cupping her breast giving a tight grip, making Veronica moan.

Veronica : "Stop... that.... Hunnhgh... not... now..."

Fifth stopped, but teased her.

Fifth : "Why? you didn't like my touch?"

Veronica glared at him before answering, giving a payback on his teasing.

Veronica : "Yes, you still didn't take a bath and even washed your rusty socks, Irneas. Now stop bothering me or else you'll eat Bluebulbies* for one month"

At these, Irneas or Fifth stood away from his wife, shocked.

Irneas : "You... you're kidding right?"

Veronica then turned her face at his direction wearing an expressionless face.

Veronica : "Nope. Now go take a bath, you stink!"

Shooing the poor man, Veronica laughed inwardly.

Meanwhile...

Somewhere in the middle of the Planet Earth...

A man whose already reaching his Fifth build, Runaan's Hurricane at his Chosen Champion, Varus suddenly heard a loud banging at his door. He froze only thinking one thing...

Did just F.B.I. raided my house?

He, literally, were a man that you can say as jobless and lazy one, nothing other than bags of chips, noodles, and messy things are present in his room's floor. The walls aren't much normal, since it was full of stickers of little anime girls and some of it even naked. There's even a female version of Male MC's in po0ular anime like Naruto, Bleach, Fire Force, etc. And the most disturbing at all were, the naked image in ahegao formation of a certain fanfic anime girl, which you can also call as... Corona-chan.

Truly, he was one hell of a simp.

The constant banging oncreases more before he finally stood up off his chair going to unlock the door and see whose the prankster, since an F.B.I. agent usually just barge in the door be it locked or not, typically a house siege.

At the time he opened the door, his sight were engulfed by a bright light and before he knew it, he died with the help of an uncontrolled vehicle that rammed in his house with highspeed...
