CHAPTER 38: CH 38
"I am actually changing my working hours," John said with a small smile. Before, when he was living alone, it never really mattered what time he came home. He could work late shifts or even stay out all night without anyone caring. But now that he was getting married, things were different. He couldn’t just wander around aimlessly or spend all his nights outside anymore.
"Oh, I see. Well, see you then," I replied casually, not really in the mood to drag the conversation on. With that, I turned and started heading toward the school, already dreading the long and boring hours that were waiting for me there.
"At least my house is fun," I thought to myself, throwing one last glance over my shoulder. John was still standing there, smiling like a fool—like some lovestruck cuck who didn’t even realize how ridiculous he looked. The sight made me shake my head as I walked away, half amused and half annoyed as I left without looking behind at the cuck smiling like a fool.
...
"It really is another world." Helena said lightly, looking out of the window of the restaurant while having her meal silently.
Currently, she was wearing blue shirt and white jean making her look so hot that mens all around couldn’t focus on thier food but only her.
Some also wanted to go ahead and strike a conversation with her but th dangerous aura around her was screaming of ’don’t disturb me’, making them give up.
After eating her meal and paying the bill with the money she recieved from Alex, Helena left the place. Looking around after coming outside, she couldn’t help but let a sigh escape her mouth. This world seemed so different from the world she know of.
Back in her world, things were like 17th-century Europe with carriages instead of cars and buildings that looked like castles for nobles and rich, but normal wooden house of normal people.
But here, it was all tall buildings, cars zooming by, and streets full of people. The buildings here were huge and shiny, nothing like the wooden structures from her world that can’t go past two floors. The cars were fast and sleek, not like the gentle carriages she was used to.
Just looking at all this, she knows that this world is atleast a few centuries ahead of her world in terms of tecnology, but still, she know that this still isn’t the peak of what tecnology could achieve.
"But still this world doesn’t have superhumans, even though there are still some strong people." She said. Superhuman as described are humans with E rank High human blood and have been able to awaken it giving a evolution to a trait of a human.
Those trait can be the human intelligence, adaptability, or even strength, speed, etc. That’s why normal human, no matter how strong a normal human is, the absence of superior trait can be the deciding factor in the end.
After randomly selecting a direction, Helena started walking while being lost in thought. ’From what Alex told me, an apocalypse will hit this world in a year.’ She thought looking at the bustling streets.
Not only this, alex also told her about the game, which was the reason for the apocalypse and it will be a few years after the apocalypse that the system appeared in front of Alex making him participate in the event.
He was allowed three wishes, one of it was regression and second was.... Her. Knowing that he used such a precious opportunity that could change billions of life, all for her, make her feel some emotions that she has long forgotten.
As for the third wish, she know that it is something which will make him strong and allow him to make other stronger so that he can protect everyone this time around from the hell which will descend on earth.
’If that’s what he wants, them I shall support him.’ she thought with eyes full of determination, the first thing was to fulfil both the missions given to her.
That is, to create an identity for herself and come back to his side. And the second mission being to search for clues for Vibranium which maybe doesn’t exist in this world or if it does, then is not known or not made known.
Why Vibranium? Because they have it in limited amount from the event and it is needed not only to replace broken or used Nanobots but also to charge them.
Yes, the full energy bar feature which was always full during the event has now become normal and the nano bots too now needed to be recharge... It is to be expected though as they are nothing but electronics.
They can be either charged with vibranium or a ridiculous amount of electricity, this is an astonishing 100 megawatts per month of use. So searching for Vibranium is thier best options for now.

"Harry, we can’t be together anymore." Said a black haired women while looking at the blonde man in front of her.
The blonde in question was none other than harry, he has golden hairs and eyes with above average face, if you have to rate it then it will came around 50 (charm stat).
"Why?" Harry asked, looking towards the ground, occasionally glancing at the man whose hand was on his girlfriend waist. Yes, the women is none other than his girlfriend and even though he wanted to rush ahead and gave this man a good beating... He can’t do this due to variety of reasons.
All he can do is question her standing there and hope... Hope she will answer his question.
...
"WAKE UP HARRY!!"
"YE-YES?!!" A sudden shout woke harry up before he look around, only to see his classmates laughing at him. It was only then that he realised that he has fallen asleep in classroom.
But different from one might think, harry was relieved, ’I-it was a dream. Yes, it has to be a dream, Grace will never leave me for someone else. I feel like a fool even dreaming about something like this, I should prepare a gift to make up for grace.’ He thought.
*Cough* *Cough*
Hearing the sudden coughing sound, Harry looked to his right only to see a grumpy old man staring at him, it was none other than the teacher who wake him up.
.

"Thankfully, the old man doesn’t give me any extra classes today, or else I might have to change my part time job again." Harry said, while hurrying through the hallways.
"Should I take a taxi? Naa, I don’t have money for it. If I take a taxi, I might have to survive on cup noodles for a week." He muttered while checking time.
Harry is an orphan, his parents died when he was young and he grew up in the orphanage. However, he has to leave the orphanage after reaching 15, not because he wants to buy because that orphanage is now no more.
After that, he was helped by his uncle who was also holding onto to his parents assets till he reach 18 next year. With their help, he was able to rent an appartment and get a job.
Harry has always been the most unlucky guy out there, atleast he thought so considering all that what have transpired with him. He already had been attacked by truck-kun thrice only to be save himself by a hair length.
There was even one time when he got poison from dispensary instead of fever medicine. Even the shut down of orphanage, Harry blames himself for the fire that burned it down. Fortunately, he came out of it safely... Everytime.
Soon, Harry reached school gates while still being lost in thoughts. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of his girlfriend, Grace.
Just as he was about to make his way towards her and call her out, he shut his mouth as not only his but everyone’s attention was soon caught by the horn sound as a black car arrived outside the school.
"Wow, isn’t that the new model of xxx from xxx, I heard that it can go upto 200km/h speed limit." Said one student, to his friend beside him who just nod with his eyes still on car just like others.
Not only because of the car but also the logo in front of it. One must know that only royal family or noble family car can have such logos on their vehicles, it is considered a very big offence to try coping it.
Each noble family has history spanning centuries, so seeing one is always as big as encountering a celebrity, especially of Duke class, royalty who can’t appear causally in public of they don’t want to create a commotion.
Duke are followed by Marquise and then earl at past who might not be as famous as the other but still are well known due to their wealth and rich history.
Many lost interest after seeing bronze border of the logo indicating Earl class but there were still many standing there looking intensely, after all, it is not everyday that they get a chance to see a noble, especially one who came to their school.
Even Harry’s eyes were glued upon the car to see who was about to come out. As the door of the car swing open, a 16 y/o teenager with silver hair came outside.
