Chapter 4, BACK IN BACK

[A year passes]

Kronos walking out of the school building walked to the curve and waited

He reflected on what he had achieved that would not be possible in his first life

Putting a timer to his watch, he began doing some stretches

About to get going, he heard some hurried footsteps and stopped

"In a hurry?" Going out of the gate Athena came up to him and spoke

"No, what is it?" Saying this he recalled what she had been up to all year long

Athena sat with him quietly at lunch and this made him have to practice at home with the force

Over time she had gotten closer to him and sometimes even offered him some of her lunch

Kronos had never delved into her more personal life and she seemed to appreciate that

This was nice and all still, he was in the universe where GODS existed

Literally anything could happen and he wouldn't be able to see it due to the mist or whatever it's called

Athena had also grown to a height of six feet one she looked almost damn perfect

Thinking about this Kronos also reflected on the fact that he had gained a significant amount of control with the force

Anytime now he could feel the force around his fingertips and mind

He had even though of shoking people to test things around but he thought better of it

There was this growing obbession of bloody foreplay which weirded him out

At home he had consistely been doing push-ups, pull-ups, sitting ups and many other fun exercises and the result was too good to be true

The Ichigo template after only a year was at 60% though it got slower

Kronos had resolved himself to training and excersing as well as mental training all year long

So many push-ups to so many planks and situps, he even wondered if his workout would make him the next Saitama

Ever since his death, an almost endless amount of resolve and firmness of purpose was in him

"Say, what are you doing this afternoon?" Athena said this and didn't look at him just moved her head slightly

Kronos still didn't go and turned to face her, she still seemed as mysterious and bueatiful as always

To him Athena was very bueatiful and he did like her, she had this nice roughness and calmness

The thought though gave him a second to think about

In his previous life, no girl liked him and he regrettably died a virgin

It's not bad or anything just facing a girl wasn't what he was accustomed to

Also he had this specific preference that he would prefer as he didn't want to deal with the prospect of young drama

"I have something to show you, let's meet tomorrow after school at Corkies" Saying this with Kronos left Athena to her lonesome and went west

After jogging for forty minutes, he made it to a clean and small neighborhood

Palm trees lined the sidewalks and old people could be seen walking

Mansions of different styles and sizes were quite common here

Kronos stopped jogging and arrived at a house that screamed of rich

Eight guards were stationed at a metal gate with fences stretching in two directions

Each of them wore black armour and held a medium sized black rifle

Their helmets had a green glow to them in two underneath slots

Each of them looked menacing and intimidating in their own right [image]

Kronos walked up to one of them and immediately the guard pulled out a circular scanner

Bringing up his eyes to it, the scanner beeped and the guard waved a hand

The gate slowly opened up and revealed a large acre of open yard

Dozens of columnar green conical trees were on either side

Stone path made up the road and made a circle at the end

A gold statue majestically stood in the circle in front of a regular sized mansion

Painted red letters 'Kronos' was on the statue

Kronos stopped in front of the statue which in fact was of him with a foot forward and his left hand in a fist

The statue of himself had a nonchalant and Impassive face

'Oh man, am I glad to see you'

Walking away and going to the door, he put his eyes to a hole in the white door

"Alpha, bring up the diagnostics for the spatial entanglement"

He said this and stepped into the house as the door opened, everything was normal except one section of the house

The inside wasn't overly large but did have a air of exquisitness

TV screens and monitors as well as tools of different kinds were littered around

"Spatial entanglement around quadrants five B to ten A are at 50%, the atoms are slowly gaining momentum and being processed" A British voice resounded everywhere around the house as Kronos sat down on one of the seats in the bright room, holding a cup of coffee

'Time is ever so disloyal'

6 Months Ago

-----------

In a more than a small apartment, Kronos with a cap and mask on alongside a white lab coat had his hands busy constructing many small computer-like components

All this was happening in the living room, a bag of French fires and a box of pizza lay nearby

Various motherboards, storage chips, and graphics cards littered the work table that was also filled with rectangular small metal oxide semiconductors

There were even several smartphones and one computer that would be futuristic in this time 

"Ahh, finally" Kronos said this and put down a screwdriver, he knew he would be filthy rich now maybe even the richest in the planet if anything didn't go wrong

Flipping a phone over a black case had an omega symbol on it with a one on the bottom, turning it over again he pressed one of the side buttons

A display screen turned on and illuminated the room

[Accenco]

The screen was dark and vibrant colors filled the screen, in the middle of it, text that spelled Accenco formed

Upbeat tunes sounded when the Accenco text formed

The screen then went black again as it went to a lock screen with a background of himself

'Man I look good'

He swiped the screen and it went to a nine dot pattern

Kronos in quick succession made a complicated pattern and got to the home screen

The background of himself was still there and apps with icons were arranged neatly

Kronos had already programmed Facebook and Amazon and many other services that made immense fame in his first life

After he also turned on his computer that he built, it was on the left side of the desk

It was fairly small as it had a diameter of 20.2×7.92×24.1 Inches

The base frame also had a cool white and black color tone to it

Pressing a circular button on the right panel; the computer base lit up with a red hue

On the desk a small TV like screen with cables sticking out lit up

From the black screen it went to the vibrant colors and the text 'Accenco'

He had even made a nice logo for the company as branding was indeed crucial to any success

The logo was of a golden infinite symbol that had a water side and lava side

The screen then went into a blue homescreen

It looked almost exactly like the iconic windows 20 in his first life which came out in the 3000s

There was a simplistic design to it with advanced features

Counting all twenty or more icons at the bottom, he saw everything

Facebook to Spotify to many other services alongside a variety of games

Kronos programmed and made popular games in his previous life such as Call of Duty Warzone and its series as well as Fornite

Among others one particularly stood out as he clicked on a icon that had grass

It said 'Minecraft' and the menu had a star button and settings as well as profile

Kronos played with it for a while and smiled

He had made Minecraft just like his previous life except that he had made one very big adjustment

The graphics.

Minecraft always had this blocky and pixelated framework, it was good and all in and it succeeded but he wanted more

He made the graphics so lifelike that most people would not be able to distinguish game from reality

'Minecraft will definitely have the most game revenue, especially with the cheap VR expierence....'

After messing with a few more things, he turned off the computer and phone

A sadistic smile appeared on his face as he went to the door with a small backpack and opened it

He closed it with a lock and started for the street

'Money maketh man'

[Present]

----------

Back to the present, Kronos presently went to his garage and flicked the lights

He had on a black grey jacket with white stripes on the front and dark jeans

The garage was pretty large and spacious, no dust on the floor either

In the spacious garage almost twenty vehicles were shining polished

Sports cars and trucks were here, but also four motorcycles with different colors schemes

"Always drive in style" Kronos went to one of the motorcycles that had a black color with red blue stripes

*VRUAAAAAA*

*VROOOOOOO*

*BDDDDDDDAAAAAAA*

The garage door went open and the front gate slid open

"AHAHHAHHAHAAAHHAHA" The sound of a kind of menacing and hard laughing sounded from the neighborhood
