He scratched his stomach slowly as he got up.

He got up and went to the window which was open. He had seen the scenery there hundreds of thousands of times but he never got bored.

Akio had changed only like a normal child even after staying more than a thousand years in the facial. Did that mean in the spatial rift time only went that fast for the perceptiveness of our consciousness? But Akio didn't think about it at all for all the time he loved here. Why, you ask? He was too busy training, that's why.

Akio didn't spare any moment in finding more about his newfound ability. His build was now like a tough rock. Although his body was only muscles, it did not give him an oversized look.

He went down the stairs and started preparing his breakfast.

He is preparing breakfast but at the same time, he is doing a number of things at the side. Because now, he doesn't need to be physically present to do his chores. His power allowed him to do everything from a distance. Since he controlled the space around the rift, he could easily manipulate the space to move in such a way that it moves the required tool to do the job.

This specific day had an extra amount of tasks because it was the first time he was going outside in a millennium. He may not have gone outside but he was keeping track of the time there regularly. And today, was the admission to the prep center where he had to study for a year since he had dropped out of school.

He created a blue polo shirt in the space along with a pair of nime shoes and khakis and put in on. He also created a mechanical desel watch for style and slapped it on his left wrist.

While taking his breakfast, he had a recollection of all the years here and the hell he had been through for the sake of training. He was lonely. Although he could create things, he couldn't make something that was alive. How he longed to have a partner with whom he could share his life.

When all his chores and dressing up were done, he moved out of the door. He gazed at the sky and stood there for a while. He then bend down and touched the footstep to the house to respect his last moments there.

He kept walking till he reached an open field and said 『Greedfield square, alley』and with a fiery blaze a round rupture appeared with red-glowing rims.

Akio took a look back one last time. He saw the house in the distance together with the wall. Tears welled up because they made him remember how he felt the first time he came here.

But he held it in and took a deep breath. He then turned around and faced the gate to the test center. He took a deep breath again and with a wide stride marched into the gate.

The first things he felt when he came out on the other side were the sound of his foot hitting the concrete, the sun shining down on his eyes, and the noise of the street.

He raised his hand to block the sun above his eyes. What he felt as he moved his hand was the first brush of natural air against his body after a long time. He didn't know if it was the density, purity or quality but surprisingly, the air was different from the one at the rift.

Even though he was currently standing in an alley, it was not dark at all. Instead it was brightly lit up like how any other street is on a normal day. He looked around and saw no one there beside him. But in front of him was a whole crowd of people moving about. Some were buying, some were selling, some were running, some were walking, some were even shouting.

He could see some of the shops on the other side of the road but they were some of the deluxe branded ones. He didn't really know if they were or not, he only saw the exterior and guessed that it might be. He wasn't really interested in brands so, he only knew a few of them and as for the ones he saw on the shop, he wasn't even sure if they were there 3 years ago or were founded in these 3 years he was missing.
