His colleague or best friend in work, Marcus, help him. He got orange hair with a fierce look. He was an athletic guy with a full of surprises "Yes, I'm alright" While standing up he looks at the monitor and the code was gone without a trace.

" The girl that he is waiting for has come " The manager that you need to take a day off for now" He smiles because of one waiting day off has come "Alright then, while I'm gone is there anyone that wants to take my job?" He asks the other co-workers, but there is no answer because they all busy.

"Figures" His best friend want to take the job because his job is almost done "I will take your job while you're gone, wait? How many days?" He also doesn't know how many days, he needs to take a day off, he asks the girl what the manager says,

" How many days I need to take?" The girl points her head in a minute to think and come up with the answer, " He said to me 2-3 days only" He clenches his fist because of this glorious day has come "Hey! You better bring me some snacks after you work" He packed his belongings and wave his hand upwards, While in the elevator, He thinks about the strange code that been sent to him earlier " What is that code? It's extraordinary!"

While thinking there is someone get's on the elevator that he didn't notice, with a pair girl with wings, The left one has purple wings, and the right one has black wings. "I want to stretch out a little bit" Said by the purple side girl, but the man still thinks what is that code " Yeah, me too" Said by the black wing girl, While stretching themselves, the man has been disturbed by its wings, he thinks that it's was a strange mechanism costume or cosplay. But it becomes a bother because of the feathers. " Can you not stretch out?" The man almost scared the two because of it's presence "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" Said by the two wings girl

The man notices the fourth floor was almost close and warn the girls " Hey, it's your stop" The girl was alarm and leave the elevator, but the most shocking was, that is not floor where the man remember, Because it's was straight fantasy biome he seeing, The elevator was closing up, and he was still shocked.

"What in the world is that!?" He shakes his head for a minute and almost losing his mind " Yep, I'm even tired " He reaches the ground floor, and everything is beautiful, and he has the conclusion that he was just tired.

"While waiting for a taxi to arrive, he checks his watch, and it's already 6:00 pm, the taxi has arrived, and he gets on, the taxi driver asking for destination " Garden Towers."

The driver immediately understood, and he drives him to the destination. He wants to close his eyes, but there is something strange happening outside of the taxi, He squints his eyes and saws someone with swords and mage battling some unknown monsters. His tiredness fade out, and his sleepiness. "What the!" He ignored the window that was showing some image and doubting the reality. "We are already here, sir."

The taxi driver break the silence, and the man was thinking consecutively, He saw that he was already here, he pay the taxi driver and get off in the car. He was hurrying to go to his apartment because of this anxiety that is happening to him lately. When he has arrived at his residence, he tosses his language somewhere else and jumps to his bed. "I need to get sleep right now. I see some fucking! Hallucination" It's already midnight, there is a white aura appearing beside in his bed. The man is still sleeping, but there is a strange hand stroking his head, so comfortable that he remembers, his deceased mother. He insists on waking up "Shhh..."

While stroking his head and hair, "My child has grown into a wonderful man," Still stroking his head, It's so comfortable that even his consciousness refuses to wake him up. "My child Axis, I love you so much" He wakes up, but it's already morning, and that dream he felt was so real.

He gets off to the bed and preparing to get a shower and a morning breakfast, He finishes his shower and cook some pancakes and making some coffee. He turns on the TV and checks some news report and weather report, but so many papers have randomly flown at the living room.

"Whose paper is this?"

When he about to pick it up, he saw some old canvas near to the kitchen. He remembers that he didn't put some painting there. While approaching the art, he also picks the flying paper. He picks it up, and some memories that popping inside of his head. His mother. "This canvas I remember this" He knows it all along that when he was child, he burns this canvas all along the paper that holds memories of his mother, His having a migraine, all of the memories that he created a beautiful biome and the memories that his mother was still alive. "ah!" He was in pain, but while in pain, he remembers the code that sent to him,

"Myriel is my mother?" The migraine was stopped for a moment, and he immediately runs to the comfort room and checking his face and eyes. "What's happening to me? I slept like a log, and I had daily exercise when I got time, but what is happening?" While the was checking his face, he didn't notice that there was a strange tattoo appearing to his back.

It's so weird. He gets out of the comfort room and having difficulty thinking. That was if he was going to view that canvas or leave it aside. He gathered his courage and picked the art. "This!" He was shocked because all of the biomes he created when he was a child was not burn or dust a little bit. It looks like a brand new brush and stroke. He views the first page of the canvas, and that was his mother sleeping with him when she was alive.

His tears suddenly flowed out without consent. "Why am I crying?" He feels so childish because he was crying like a girl, but whenever he stares to the artwork he created, his tears were dropping. "M-mother," He said it like a tired man that wish to die.

Then a paper suddenly blew out to his face, and that was a first biome that he created with his mother. "The Tree of Thrones" He suddenly remembers the coincidence to the game he was fixing, it also the one that has a glitch. He grabs his laptop and sits at the couch in the living room. He checked the game program and found out the glitch.

He observed it and found out something the glitch is not on the Throne room; it's the Throne itself. He was fixing the glitch while drinking the coffee. The remote code pops out, but it was much more different to the other system he received yesterday. He was hesitating to decode because he was scared of what happened to him lately.

He sighs and decoding the code that suddenly pops out in the program he fixing. He was shocked because it was a different thing. The system literally says his name "Son of Myriel, Axis Ra" He intending to delete the system but when he was about to press the delete button his laptop was automatically shut down and never open again.

He grabs his phone and searches the game that his fixing and that was " Lie of the Gods" He checks the info about Myriel, and there is no such name in the game. He was confused because he saw the statue of named Myriel. While the situation of confusion, the alarm clock suddenly *beep*. He almost jumps out because of that. He immediately goes to the bedroom and turns off the alarm, he decided to the internet cafe near his apartment. While dressing up, he saw his back with a glance in the mirror, and he saw the tattoo marking to his back.

"What the hell is this!?" He was much more surprised because he didn't remember that he got a symbol in return before. He hastily goes to the comfort room to see if this was a removable tattoo. He tried many things and did not succeed. He kneels in despair while holding a detergent. "So this was a permanent tattoo" While kneeling in grief the tattoo was getting much more broader and it reaches to his whole right arm. When he sees the symbol is expanding, he believed that someone cursed him. "Please, I'm too young to die."

Then tattoo was stopped developing when it reaches his both arms. "How can I going to explain this to my boss and my colleagues" He dressed up and give up to wash the tattoo. While he about to leave the room, he occupies. When he opened up the door, he saw his mother once again, and he immediately has a vast migraine attack. "Ah," He was on pain, and he can't take it anymore. He fainted.
