Indonesia is a democratic country, the President is elected by the people, there are also the cabinet's members, also elected by the people to watch over the government. These are the politicians, they are divided into the Presidential party and the opposition party, they often in contradiction. During Alex previous life, the president, the vice, and most cabinet member, all died from the plague, so the country loose its central leadership. None of the surviving cabinet members is eligible or given the power to lead. Democracy is the best for peacetime, but in time like this, they are the worst.
Law enforcement took control. Indonesian law enforcement is divided into two big organisation, the police force and the army. The police force in charge of handling domestic threat while the army on foreign threats. There is no preparation for plague like this, finally because lack of central command and communication, each General set up their own each survival base, they become "king" in each of their own regiment.
The last but not least are the rich and powerful 9 dragons. These are the group of 9 families, who control 9 big corporations such as Tobacco, Real estate, Oil, Bank, Pharmacy, Technology, Media etc. These 9 corporation control 90% of the country economy, it could even be said that they control the government itself. Some of them even control some part of the army and police force. In Alex previous life, they actually spend the first many years fighting among them self, when they finally join forces it was already too late.
In his previous life Alex knew a few of the 9 dragons family, and fight alongside together but, at the moment they are strangers, Alex currently thinking of a way to convince at least one of them to support him before the end of days.

"Reincarnated life, a Mission to save the world, but why do I feel more like a thief each day"
"What a mansion, this is not a house this is a palace"
There are few bodyguards all around the estate, but with his perception and agility, it's pretty easy for Alex to dodge them undetected.
"The dogs will be the tricky one, I should just jump up to the roof and crawl from the top"
Alex walks inside one of the rooms from a balcony, where he sees a man sitting in a wheelchair. the man startled when he saw Alex.
"Mr James, let me introduce myself, I am Alex"
"please don't bother calling your guard, I don't want another cliche of hitting your guard to get your attention."

Currently even with his resources, of hundred medical expert and thousands of studies the family still unable to find the cure. 5 years ago the disease also starting to affect James, What are the use of money and power if eventually human can't escape death, and his death will come early, James thinks 10 years at most, but there still no breakthrough. This is his number one goal in life. and this will be Alex way to gain favour into the 9 dragons family.
James Randal think for a little and respond
"You manage to enter unnoticed passed through my guards, despite them being an ex-special force. even in my normal condition, I doubt I can escape, never mind with this wheelchair."
"what do you want,?"
Alex responded
"there is something that I need, and I am willing to trade it with something that will interest you"
"I doubt it, there's not much in this world that interest me anymore"
"what about a cure for your illness.. even better.. what about the secret of eternal life..?"
"Hahahahaha.. is this supposed to be a joke? did my cousin send you?
Alex took out a white shiny stone and show it to James.
"This is a spirit stone, you will surprise the wonder it could give. I will give you one to let your scientist and researcher study it."
James said. "Don't play around with me.
Alex suddenly moves close to him, with such a speed James can't explain. Alex took another stone out and force it into James' mouth.
"This one is for you take this stone seriously"
"one of this stone won't be enough to cure your disease, I have plenty more, I believe you will be interested, I will find you again soon"
Alex left the other spirit stone on the table next to James. and jump out of the window. Alex quickly leaves the compound.
James wanted to call his guards to go after Alex, but he suddenly feels something changed with his body, one spirit stones enough to change a low stage into a mid-stage mortal realm. It only took about 15 minutes for one spirit stone to work. A normal person will suddenly have the speed and strength of an Olympic athlete. For James, he suddenly feel his body full of vigour, he can already feel both his legs. He tried and actually able to hold up standing for a few seconds.
"2 more spirit stone used, 26 left, almost half already used" hope its worth it. I should give him some time to study the stone so I can exploit him better later.
"Although even if he agrees to help me I doubt it will be enough."
"If he's not interested maybe I can sneak again to take the spirit stone back."
The next morning, in the news, Alex heard something disturbing.
