a tall shady man with long brown coat whose face was covered by the shadow of his cap, he slowly opened the door.

every one who was drinking inside the room was disturb by each his loud step.

"tap, tap,tap"

hearing that they slowly twist their head to look. each and everyone knew that he was no 'ordinary man'. Each of them instinctly turned serious due to the man's sudden action. All of their eyes locked to the man. While the man was moving the bartender look at the man's eyes firmly. Suddenly the tension raised due to the man putting his hand in the pocket inside of his coat . Making it look like he is grasping the weapons hide inside of the coat.

He firmly pulled out a hip flasked and opened the cap on the way and drank all of the alcohol in it. Each of his gulp can be heard throughout the room. with the sudden move of the man, He quietly walk to the front table and sat at the seat in front of the bartender

"what a nice weather sir ." the bartender said with a cold look on his eyes. on hearing that he raised his hat and focused his piercing glare at the bartender. While saying

"one shot of whiskey."

"how do you want it? " the bartender asked.

" Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. ..."

the bartender gently poured the whiskey on a shot glass. He swiftly and suspiciously sprinkled a whisp of powder in it. While making it look like he was just adding a little bit of juice.

"here is your drink. sir!.." the bartender slid the shot glass on the table to him

the man slowly reached out to his pocket and handed him 10 bucks "its with the tip." the man quietly walk out of the room. before closing the door the man murmured

"indeed its a nice weather".

every one was dumbfounded by his word, cause it was the exact opposite. It was a dark rainy day with thunders as loud as a dragons roar

upon the man leaving, a man who had a a hair dark as ink, with a strong stature and an eyes like that have glare of a lion. Gently sat at the side at the front of the bartender.

"Uncle,do you know that man?" he whispered at the bartender

The barteneder almost drop the glass he was holding on hearing that.

"just an old friend" the bartender replied.

" uncle, I gotta leave its already past 9. the man replied

"alright, just beware of shady people on the streets."

the man gently leave the room. while opening his umbrella outside he saw the mysterious man lighting a cigar under the small roof of the building at the side . he payed no mind at him and quietly walk away.

while walking away he saw the mysterious man following him he hurriedly walk and suddenly turn right to avoid the mysterious man. He looked back again. but there was no man at all

"Haah haah". He let out a large breath his.

he look at his surroundings only to find out he was lost. he caught a dead end all the corners were close. each of his breath felt like a stroke of hammer of black smith. His skin became grey

/damn everything feels like an illusion. damn that tequila it really had some strong effects/

"baam"

a loud sound that echoed like thunder presented an eye shaped 'thing' infront of his eyes. at that moment he felt a shiver in his spine

"hello is this the year 1876? mr edmond frese" the 'thing' said

on hearing that edmond freeze on fear each of his hair strands on his hand rise. His hand was shaking, his mouth was drooling.

"wa what are you?!" he said while shaking.

"I am your assistant venus from the future. I was sent here to the past due to your final experiment failed creating a immense explosion creating a rift on time. leaving me swallowed by a rift of time presenting me an ai existence with records of all the most valuable contents of the world in my memory." venus said

"so you are my inventions from the future?"

"first lets go to your place to explain things further."

both of them swiftly walk to the apartment of ed. "creak" the door opened

"we are here this is my place so pls start at first thing that happened" ed said

"1923 the year you first made a breakthrough on your project. 1927 final testing of your experiment. at 9:00 in the night you decided to do the final testing privately....

/"where is the screw driver? damn! why did it have to get loose during this time?/

ed quickly draw his drawer in hopes to find the screw driver. while deep in his work his experiment begin to shake rapidly. extremely rapid, it generated an earthquake of a magnitude 9.6 . due to the loose screw in the stabilizer of the product it leaving it unstable.

upon finding the screw driver to adjust the loose screw he realize it was too late. the product was extremely unstable to adjust it again.

due to the vibration caused by the product it the earthquake reached a time rift and activate it. making the product absorb by the time rift. due to the extreme gravitaional pull by the time rift it made the product break into pieces. generating a strong powerful force killing the scientist and I being pushed to the rift.

"thats all. If I explain more it will alter the future too much. I will naturally help you complete it in the future.. if you are ready enough. but now? is not really the best time" venus said

due to all of the information it made ed hard to accept all of that at once

"lets talk again in the morning I need sleep." ed said

"yawn"
