[Resetting Dimensional Crack timer...]

[00:00:00:00:00]

The Dimensional Crack's exit appeared; it opened like glass shattering through the air, creating a hole composed of void that allowed them to get out of that world.

Upon exiting, Jane then looked at her status screen to see the number of clones that she had lost: It seems that she had lost ten of them, including her best one, the sixty-eighth clone, and the other eight had lost their capacity to be useful in combat.

She then recounted the number of materials that she had left, to see if she needed to restock, and found out that there was a sufficient amount, enough for an expedition of about two-dimensional cracks, and for the rest of the day she did not do anything but rest.

The intricate electrical impulses sent by Jane's User Interface alarm, from the chip on her wrist straight to her brain, set to wake her up instantly without damaging any parts of her brain to ensure that she wakes up on her best possible condition and of course without her feeling groggy.

She then quickly prepared to go out, however, it wasn't actually much of a preparation as the artificial intelligence system in her home had already gotten her sorted out.

Her items were already prepared; all she needed to do was to store them in her system's inventory, and her red car that she had wanted to drive for fun while going out was also automatically prepared, just waiting for her to drive.

The soothing sound of her car starting sent dopamine to her brain, then as she smirked, the back side of her car instantly ignited, similar to that of the exhaust of a rocket. The car roared forward with such speed that it made loud thunderous sounds.

Vrooooom! Vrooooooooom!

ZOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooom! 

The engines though outdated and impractical, because of its fuel use and lack of gas stations. She had still insisted on modifying her own car with it, just to satiate her own vices despite it might not being Eco friendly.

ZOOOOOOOOOOM!!

Her car thrusted forward, driving past the electric cars in front of her. She had a lot of fun steering her car and managing to barely slip through before hitting other vehicles and pedestrians. But what was the most fun for her was when she drove into traffic where there was no way in, because she would accelerate her car to propel it upward and leap through the highways and other vehicles, landing smoothly in front of the traffic, and making the other drivers eat her dust.

However the dopamine rush would soon be over, with how fast she was going. Because she quickly arrived at her destination while also probably breaking a lot of supposedly conventional traffic rules.

...

Jane's car landed on the front of the parking spot of a guy that was about to park.

Although he had wanted to road rage, the moment she got out of the car and he recognized her, there was only one thing that immediately came to his mind-'Fuck this shit I'm out♫♪♪' as he closed the already half open door of his car back.

Her first stop was a parlor shop because she decided that she needed to get a haircut, though this was normally done by machines at home nowadays; this shop was a bit special. The fact that they had managed to survive up to this day was already something of an accomplishment. But instead of actually being on the brink of shutting down like the other businesses these days, theirs were actually sought out by a lot of rich patrons in this era, they were thriving more than ever before. 

However, there was only one reason why they had managed to do this: They understood the value of art and specialization much better than other people. After all for them, the more exquisite the job and work done, the higher the value placed upon them, and the longer they stay.

The sound of the chimes ringing from the bell door as she entered the room gave off the feeling of an old-fashioned parlor shop, a relic of an ancient era, which had been further enhanced by the dim lighting produced by the projections of artificial lamps around them.

Cling! Clang! Twang!

"Would you like the usual haircut ma'am? or would you like to try something new?" the stylist asked. 

 "Just the usual" as Jane sat down on the somewhat modern looking chair.

Snip! Snip! Snip! Snip!

...

Then, as Jane was beginning to relax, she could not help but listen to the soft classical music playing in the background, amidst the rhythmic sound of the scissors cutting her hair. Both of the sounds blended seamlessly, giving her the cozy feeling that she had so craved for the past few months. All of the things mentioned above combined gave her the experience of eternal bliss.

If it weren't for the article that was suddenly replaced, projected below the mirror in front of her, in order to cater to her preferences, she would have fallen asleep in the middle of her haircut.

"A Brief History of Gas Cars & Electric Cars

Electric Cars are the new trend, but have you ever wondered how gas cars came to be replaced by electric cars? Well, in this magazine, that's exactly what we'll be discussing.

In the past, during the 27th century, when humanity was beginning to recover after suffering from a devastating catastrophe, the means of transportation for the "Unawakened" were very limited. It was a time when owning a single vehicle could make you a fortune, or even being able to rent one would mean that you were at least well-off, because the production of fuels was very bleak. However, that all changed when Kernel Benz awakened the mechanic class.

In the beginning, he was not actually a strong mechanic, as he had lower Intelligence and Mana stats compared to other mechanics. However, he had one advantage: he was already a professional mechanic before the system, one could say that it was truly destined. Not even a year passed after he awakened, he figured out a way to turn monster cores into gas and refine it into fuel, which led to him awakening the ability "Synthesis" that made the process ten times easier.

After fixing the gas crisis, he then proceeded to find a way to make gas consumption much more efficient, as only fifty percent of the gas from cores actually gets turned into energy to fuel the cars. During this time, he succeeded in raising the efficiency to up to seventy percent, forever changing the perspective of humanity when it comes to mechanics. However, thirty years had already passed, and humanity was beginning to prosper a little bit.

In the southern city, another prodigy named Nicola was making a name for himself as he introduced electric-fueled cars, which were ten times more efficient than gas-fueled cars. The expansion of the new technology quickly spread and replaced the old gas-fueled cars. But Benz didn't give up on his dream of making gas-fueled cars one hundred percent efficient, so he did not stop...

Nowadays, the one hundred percent gas-efficient cars are only sold as luxury cars for the richest, to honor the late Benz for his dedication and perseverance, as he was considered a hero by the many people he helped during his time."

'Right' Jane's wrist then glowed blue, meanwhile right next to her, another woman was reading an article.

Unemployment rate on the rise

The unemployment rate had just reached a whopping new record of (50%) fifty percent.

Several unorthodox critics and protesters had already voiced out their concerns about this before and are still continuing to do so. But now that things do not seem to be going on their favor, they called out for several researchers and politicians to address these matters...

In a debate a long time ago, former professor Fernandez, now turned nonconformist and rejectionist said that "The use of your so-called cloning technology had turned all of you numb and detached from reality. Who! among you have ever thought twice about sacrificing a clone? None! because in all of your minds the clones cannot think. No matter how similar they are to humans. So I won't even be surprised if none of you even cares about the people losing their jobs. What all of you are doing to the clones is literal slavery!

On the other hand, "The use of the cloning technology is purely for the benefit of humanity. We are now living in an age, where humanity could perish at any time. So, we need the sacrifice of the clones, and to address your issue about the loss of jobs. It seems you had forgotten about Citadel E. We had designated that area for the people who weren't able to awaken, if anything you are actually the one who are much more detached from reality." says Harris, as they tried to calm down one angry Fernandez who had lost his mind.

...This old age debate can be compared to the recent uprisings that are happening here on east city because of how similar it is, and it seems to be going in the same direction. Where the winner are obviously the prestigious scholars and the masses. So we can say for certain that none of you folks have anything to worry about.

The news clearly biased and filtered, only talked about the middle part of the debate. So being out of context, it never really tackled the context of how the debate actually started and how it actually ended.

Jane now with an inverted bob style haircut, similar to a typical middle age soon turning old woman, that would always like to call for the manager.

She then entered her car and started to drive back to the Messiah branch to finish two of her errands; one of her business was to order more clones, while the other was to ask the branch to salvage the waste of space in her home. Because although no one wanted to talk about it, the fate of the injured ones was obvious.
