(In a Canteen)

Atlas took a mountain ton of food and sat in front of Shero, Shero’s tray was also filled with a tune of food.

“Whoa… some food you got there, I see now you are a food lover as well but are you sure you eat all of that, I don’t like those who waste food,” Shero said.

“Second,” Atlas said, he already ate all of the food.

“What…! You already eat it, '' Shero said, with a shocking expression.

“How can he eat so fast?...hehe It's been a while I have a challenge, I will not let you beat me,” Shero thought, he quickly ate all of this food and asked for a second as well.

“I want a second too,” Shero said.

Atlas stares at Shero, Shero stares back at Atlas and smiles.

“I will not be defeated, Let’s decide who is the real food lover today,” Shero thought.

“Hey you guys, look, Lieutenant Shero having an eating competition” Suddenly someone said.

“The undefeated king of gluttony has another challenger”.

“Who is crazy enough to challenge the king of gluttony”.

Everyone gets excited and surrounds them, cheering, placing their bets, etc.

Deno and Anna join the table and create a roulette table, “Come everyone place your bet here, The undefeated king of gluttony the Lieutenant shero Vs The challenger the new kid my Brother Atlas, how will be the winner” Deno said.

“Will the defeated king of gluttony prevail once again or we get the new King of gluttony today, place your bet here whatever you think,” Anna said.

Everyone started placing their bets on shero, “I bet on 10 moon coins on Lieutenant Shero”.

“I am as well”.

“Me too”.

“The undefeated king of gluttony never knew defeat, I placed 20 moon coins”.

“Almost, everyone here placed their bets on Shero, it looks like they have lots of fate in the king of gluttony, Hey whom do you place your bets o,n,” Deno said to Anna.

“Hmm...The last time I lost when I bet on someone else but this time I’m definitely gonna win, I placed 1000 moon coins (1 moon coin =$1) on the Shero,” Anna said.

“Woooow…. That’s a lot of money, are you sure” Deno said.

“Definitely….” Anna said.

“Hehe then I placed a 1000 moon coin on my red-eye brother, I have confidence in him,” Deno said.

“Nope, you're just greedy,” Anna thought.

“Both of you are ready...Now start eating” someone said.

Atlas and Shero start eating, both of them were toe to toe, the excitement was filled in everyone's hearts, both of them eating and eating and asking for more and more, the winner was completely uncertain.

(After a while).

Everyone was surprised, with their mouths wide open with this unexpected outcome.

“I didn't believe my eyes, the Undefeated king of gluttony was defeated by the mear child, Who the hell is this kid?” Someone said.

Shero was lying on the bench, his stomach swallowed like a balloon unable to move an inch “I can’t eat anymore, someone please pick me up,” Shero said.

“We have a new champion, the new king of gluttony, Atlas!” Deno said.

“Next,” Atlas suddenly said and asked for more.

“You don’t have enough yet!! Where the hell did it all go!!!” Someone said.

Deno was celebrating his wins while Anna was crying at the corner, “Hehe, I win so much, hahaha My intuition never goes wrong, now give me the money you cow,” Deno said to Anna.

“Damn you mophead, I see you for this, Here,” Anna said, she moved her hand in the air like clicking something, transferring money to Deno, “My money, My beautiful; money,” She thought, with a crying face.

Deno pads Atlas back and says “Nice job little bro,” Atlas looks confused, Deno looks at him and asks, “What happens if you look confused”.

“You said that you win money but why didn't I see any?” Atlas Said.

“Because it's all digital,” Deno said.

“Digital??” Atlas said confusion looks.

“Ever heard of E-lens?” Deno said.

Als still don’t understand what Deno saying his expression was like “????”.

“Shu… “ Deno takes a deep breath.

“Man in what’s time you are living, even the three-year-old kid Knew of E-lens'' Deno said, He opened his eyes wide and said'' Look here, did you see this lens in my eye its called E-lens, Created by Sangmoon Industry, it is a multipurpose device which allows you to do many things like calling, chatting, browsing, finance money, etc,” Deno said.

“Carrying money is a pain, also different places have different currencies so most people use digital money known as moon coin. Moon coin is equal no matter where you go, and is easy to carry,” Deno said.

“Did everybody have thee, E-lens?” Atlas Ask.

“Yeah, almost everyone uses E-Lens nowadays,” Deno said.

“Hmmm….” Atlas said, deep thinking.

Deno looks at him and says “You know, I recently bought new E-lens and don’t know what to do about the old one, if you want I can give it to you” Deno said.

(Commander’s Office)

Mariel knocks on the commander's office door, “knock, knock”.

“Come in” Sound came from inside...

Mariel opened the door and got inside the commander’s office “Is he settled without any trouble?” Commander Kim asked Mariel.

“Yes sir, It seems like it,” Mariel said.

“So, did you check his background?” Commander Kim said

“Yes, sir he was Indeed Kidnapped by the human trafficker two years ago but I didn't find much, he escapes by killing his buyer and dealer and that is all, I was unable to find where he came from, Who and where his parents are nothing, it's like he never existed, we never even able to find out that he is from Alpha if he didn't tell us,” Mariel said.

“Hmm….. so he was telling the truth, captured by a slave trader hu, the slave trader kidnapped him from Alpha, What happens in Alpha, why is he the only one survived,” Commande Kim thought.

“Commander, Commander, Commander,” Mariel said, Commander was deep in his thoughts.

“Huh!”Commander said with surprise,

“What’s happened, is everything okay?” Mariel Asked.

“Yeh, everything is fine, Good work Mariel, you don’t have to investigate anymore, you can go now,” Commander Kim said.

“Roger that,” Mariel said.

She stood there with worried looks on her face like she wanted something to ask.

Command Kim understood “Ask,” he said.

“Huh?” Mariel said.

“If you have any questions then ask Mariel,” Commander Kim said.

“Fine, I like to ask this not as assistance but as a friend, we have known each other since childhood so I know there is something off with you,” Mariela said.

“Some are off with me you must be imagining,” Commander Kim said and laughed it off.

Mariel smashed her hands on the commander's desk, with a serious look on her face “ Do think you can just laugh it off just like last time,” Mariel said.

“First of all why a battalion made of 1 High Holder, 5 Holders, and a bunch of low-level noobs who never fought in any battle before getting their first assignment like attacking the Immar,” Mariel said.

“Second, why do we attack the Immar, ain’t we allies from ages,” Mariel said.

“And Third, don’t give me that obnoxious smile of yours,” Mariel said.

Kim was surprised, he stood up from his chair, “First, The Battalion entirely made of noob get their assignment to attack the Immar because to give them experiences of real battle,” Commander said, looking into Mariel’s eyes.

He came close. “Second, I don’t know why we attacked Immar, I am just a man who follows orders,” Commander Kim said, looking into Mariel’s eyes.

He comes even closer and embraces her in his arms, gently holding Mariel’s chin with his hand “Third, You look too cute when you are angry,” Commander Kim said.

Mariel gets embarrassed, her face becomes full red, and pushes Kim away, “Shut up you jerk don’t think I let you off, just because you are buttering me” Mariel said.

“No, really you look super cute when you are angry,” Commander Kim said.

“Ok, that enough I am leaving….” Mariel left the room with a blushing red face.

“She really knows me too well,” Commander Kim said.

“Forgive me, Mariel, even if you are a childhood friend I can’t tell you anything,” Commander Kim thought.

He put his hand on the desk, a hologram screen appeared on the desk he entered some code Desk divided in two and the vault came out from under his desk, “Because I can’t fail,” Kim thought, with cold looks in his eyes.
