Dozens of people going in and out from the back alley could not help but brought up people suspicious. These people move boxes that contained computer from trucks to the old two stories building inside the valley. To people who known nothing of what inside the boxes, the screen was nothing different than a bunch of suspicious people moving a bunch of suspicious boxes in to a suspicious building.

“What were you thinking? Brought in half dozen of new computer without consult me. We are in red from the first day of our operation” Filline said

“Take it easy. This is nothing but an investment. We can’t operate without this”

The screen of an accountant grips her boss collar and shouts at his face is not something people can see every day. The imaginable outcome could be the accountant getting fired. It’s not like everything happened has to be follow common sense. Since Light invite Filline to be his accountant, he held her thought for the company highly, part of it because he knew he could over look details and be able to make the company gone bankrupt before they could do anything. Study together for three years, Light knew how serious Filline look at her current job so he feels no offense from her action. Some people can misjudge his action as favor for Filline or they may even thought of it as he like her but it is not, Filline is just simply not inside Light’s strike zone. Life is not as same as a romance novel; there are relationships out of love between men and woman.

“How much this bunch’s cost again?”

“4,000 coins?”

“All?”

“4,000 per computer”

“Then it is 32,000 coins for all, right?”

“Nah! Since graphic design only need weaker CPU, The total cost less than 30,000 coins”

“Oh, really?”

“Although the server cost more than 70,000”

A server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients"; In this case, Light brought a large server device. This architecture is called the client–server model, and a single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices. Servers can provide various functionalities, often called "services", such as sharing data or resources among multiple clients, or performing computation for a client. Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers. With a huge amount of work, there is the need of many servers but for the time being, Light can divide the server to make it do multi-function, mostly work as database server, file server, computing server and maybe game server also.

“Are you insane, Light? You spend more than 100,000 coins before our company even operates?”

“It’s an investment. Take it easy…” Light tried to smooth thing over

“Come to think of it, where did you have all the money from? I never know how you are able to create a company and then throw out money like this”

Light’s back suddenly feel a chill even when the air condition was not turned on. There was no way he could tell anyone how he earn money to fund this company.

“It’s a secret, okay? Actually, I won V-lot”

“Really?”

“Really!”

V-lot is a new brand of Lottery Company. Guaranteed to be different compare to the old type and have no tricks to control the result, there were many people said to win it since the few months before when it appeared. People said it was all but a bluff since all people who came to take the prize wore a mask in their face. Truth to be told, there were many people had been attack or threaten in the pass after won the lottery so wearing a mask was said to be a method to protect the lottery winner. Since no one known the winner face, claim to be one sound reasonable enough as long as no one found out.

“I will believe in you for now” Filline said

“Please keep it a secret for me. You know my family having trouble with people of the underground, right? They will surely come and take all the money if they know about this”

“Why don’t you pay them one and for all then”

“It’s not like I’m the one who borrow their money and it is not like I had any pros when the money being borrowed. Why must I pay for them again?”

“Aren’t they your parents?”

“Sorry to say this but it’s not like I can choose my parent and they have never give me any love or care”

A heavy atmosphere hung around the second floor of World Creator office. Both Light and Filline were unable to say anything and broke the silent.

“Good morning! Wow! I’m the earliest employee come to work today!”

The cheerful voice of Kanon could be hear from the first floor entrance broke the silent atmosphere of the room. It would be bad if the employees saw the owner and the accountant of company fight. It still be bad if the employees saw them together alone and misunderstand the situation so they each do their own work, stay away from each other.

Light could hear Kanon’s footsteps as she rushed in the stairs and her greeting to Filline outside his room

“Sis…sis! What are those computers on the first floor? Are we selling computer or something?”

“Even I’m not sure myself, Kanon. How about asking Mr. Light himself? He is the one who purchase all those computers after all”

Light could hear Kanon’s footstep close into his lair before his room’s door open reveal a petite figure

“Good morning Mr. Light!”

“Morning, Kanon! You can call me big bro like when you call Filline big sis, you know? I really don’t mind it. So what is the problem?”

There are different atmospheres for different company that mostly depended on the culture of the region or the will of the administrator or manager. The working atmosphere in most Western region is lax as long as the employees can bring back good result. On the contrast, the Eastern region companies usually have a master-servant relationship between employer and employees. It could be said, the human’s value in the Eastern parts is not considerate in its true value. There is also another type of working atmosphere that is also what Light was aiming for. It is the model where people working as a team but consider each other as a member of family, helping each other. This structure isn’t popular in the Western parts were the independent is highly considerate but suited the Eastern parts, especially the former small countries where united and teamwork was something in people blood.

It’s not like Light don’t prefer having a cute and intelligent younger sister like Kanon. Light’s younger sister is nowhere near his ideal sister. He would gladly trade his sister for Kanon if possible.

“What are the computers under stairs for, big bro? There are so many that I can swim in there”

‘I guess she never saw a game center where dozen or maybe hundreds of computer lined up. Maybe she could misunderstood it as computer festival or something’ Light thought

“It’s our working tools, Kanon. Call me when the other guys come so we can set it up, okay?”

“Okay!” Kanon answer before rushed out of the room

Come like a wind and leave like a wind.

‘I guess her cheerfully is what make her unable to get older, at less to the outside’ Light thought

After a while, the other guys finally show up

“Wow! Look at this! These CPUs have at less 6 cores, I bet!” Kay could not help but stick himself with boxes contained CPUs. Be it a hard-core gamer, he could somehow manage to realize the CPU’s value from a glance

“Actually, these Inter XZ 9011 model has 20 cores - 40 threads, water cool down system, equipped with 2 Platinum Dominator 6GBz RAM that famous for its massive chrome heat spreaders and optional fans. If there is anything you can’t do with these guys then there is no other CPU can do it.” Light said proudly, showing off his knowledge he had obtained from the sell man

For easier to understand, you can imagine the CPU’s core as human brain. A multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent processing units called cores, which read and execute program instructions. The instructions are ordinary CPU instructions (such as add, move data, and branch) but the single processor can run multiple instructions on separate cores at the same time, increasing overall speed for programs amenable to parallel computing. Manufacturers typically integrate the cores onto a single integrated circuit die (known as a chip multiprocessor or CMP) or onto multiple dies in a single chip package. The microprocessors currently used in almost all personal computers are multi-core.

If we set the cores as the brains, then the threads could be counted as thoughts. The more threads computer has, the more work could be done at the same times. It’s like a person who is able to think different problems at the same time and then solve it.

Regular CPU used for daily basic work like typing documents, listen to music, watching video or web surfing usually have about 2 to 4 cores and 6 to 10 threads and required a mere 2GBz RAM to working smoothly. The CPUs Light brought with few times the normal core, more than 6 times the threads and 6 times the combined output of the RAM are truly abnormal

“It must be expensive. How much is it?” Aisha timid asked

“About 4000 coins” Light answered

“Hiiiii! So expensive! I’m afraid of breaking it that I’m unable to touch it. It’s worth more than a year of salary” Aisha fearfully backed away from the boxes of CPUs like it were predators trying to bite her

“If I have the amount of money to buy all this CPUs, I rather stay at home for 10 years without doing anything” Bardell commented

“The server director brought worth twice times more than all this CPUs so you would stay at home and doing nothing for nearly 30 years actually” Filline added in, sound like mocking both Light and Bardell.

True to be told, the bottom salary base on the law in this developing region is 150 coins per months, 1800 coins per year. The regular salary fall in the amount of 200 to 1000 coins per months, equal to 2400 to 12000 coins per years. Buying one of the CPU Light brought already equally to months or years of working for other people.

“Is this some kind of mistake? Why do the key broads and mouse looked so out date?” Looked at the key broads and mouse box, Knightly could not help but surprised

“Maybe they delivered the wrong box because there were so many boxes” Long said

“Well! There was no mistake. I spend too much on CPUs and monitors so I decided to choose old model key broads and mouse since it will not affect our job too much. You could see it is brand new key broads and mouse. It’s just out dated”

Truth to be told, there was time when Light try to reuse an old monitor by connecting it to his new model CPU just to realized they are not compatible. Fortunately, the mouse and key broads he brought this time is connectable to the CPU.

Together, Light and his group collected and set up all the 8 Personal Computer and also the Server. The server being setup in a room on second floor next to Light’s working rooms. The rest and majority of the second floor has left alone as a wasted space by Light’s order since he intend to build the VR protocol in here. The first floor is parking space and employee’s workplace at the same time.

“Wait a minute! Why there are only 7 PCs for employees? What PC will I using? Suddenly realize something strange, Filline asked

“Feel free to use my PC up stair. It’s not like you have many thing to do and there is nothing much I can do on PC that our employee can’t” Light replied

“Since we are a new company, I will contact my acquaintances and family’s connections to ask for works like advertise, web managing and other services we can do” after finished set up PCs, Light said to everyone

“I thought our company’s aim is making a VR system and then doing business with it? Isn’t it what they told me?” Kay asked

“You are right. However, making a VR system isn’t something you can do in a short few days. There is possibility we have to work for years. If we do nothing else in the progress, there will be no profit for the company and so we will collapse for sure.

“Yes, the director is right! As long as my salary is guaranteed then there is no problem to me” Aisha commented

“This sound as same as a poor artist had to sold his art for money to pursuit art. So sad!”

“I believe we will soon achieved success” Long said

“Until there is work, I have free time for my own project. Hehehe…!” Schieder let out a horrible laugh

“Wuaa… Where are you coming from? I don’t remember seeing you in here?” Surprised by Schieder’s laugh, Kanon almost crying out loud

‘Schieder’s lack of present sure is scary. If our company’s fund goes in red, should I modify the first floor to a haunted house and assign Schieder as the main staff?’ In the middle of this lack of serious meeting, Light’s mind couldn’t not help but came up to some stupid ideas

“Just enjoy your last days of freedom. Don’t complain if there are too many work in the future, okay?” Light said to his employees, half joke but half warning them.

Time fly like the wind and so the rain season passed away.

The rainy season passed means the summer was over. The streets now filled by Light’s favorite weather. There is no sun or its heat which able to make Light fall ill. There is no rain which wet Light’s shoes every times he went out. There is no cloud and neither the wind. There is only the cool weather that feels so comfortable whenever Light touches it. It’s feels like the whole world become “normal” just like Light. The “normal” which is defined in this case by like mean “not too much” and “not too little”, “just enough”. The balance is what make this world exist. The only thing “a little bit too much” but still “acceptable” to Light must be the Milky flower’s scent which famous enough to be mention in songs and poems about the city where Light lived.

It was half a year since the day Light quitted his job at the super markets and more than three months from the day he started up his company. However, to Light’s family, he was nothing but an unemployed. There is no way Light was able to reveal his company’s existent to his family. His family would laugh at it first but more troublesome after then when they believed and asked him about it. Light have troublesome things. However, it’s not like being seen as an unemployed is much better. Despite paying all of his living expense by his own money, which Light told everyone that it is his saving money from the day he worked, Light was deem a parasite by his parent, a person who do nothing and live on with his parent money. How laughable! Since the troubles which come with being question is much annoying than the one from being look down, Light rather be seen as a worthless person than a suspicious one.

Today is not a rainy day. However, Light is spying on his target house, waiting for the right moment to take action. His regular targets became more and more caution nowadays and there was also people who hunt him down make it harder for him to take action. The prey this time was a unexpected target Light acquired from his everyday playing at a gaming store. Until now, Light still unable to understand why the son of police director’s secretary could play game in a dirt cheap and run down store for more than ten years. As a “customer”, the secretary’s son sure is a respectable customer; but it is not as a “person”. Listen to the secretary’s son’s conversations with his friends; Light obtained enough “reasons” to make them his target. There is nowhere like this region where family of corrupted political could openly bragged about their misdeed in front of others, even in public. Light hear the secretary’s son brag about how he got away after raping a child with few thousand coins of compensate fee, how his father throw away a bribe gift worth tens thousand coins because it took too much space in his house, how he violate traffic law and get catch but get away just by a phone call, etc, .…

Obviously, Light’s prey this time is the City Police Director Secretary’s house.

People will ask: Why is the Secretary’s house? Why don’t you assault the Director himself instead of his following?

Unlike other regions on the world, in these corrupted regions, a position in the government is not decided by how one’s talent or how passionate one with the work but by their bloodline and the amount they paid for the position. Naturally, the officials selected known almost nothing about their work they are supposed to do. People who look like the sidekicks are actually people who do all the work. Obviously, these sidekicks are also taken back a large sum of money for their service.

Waiting for the Secretary’s son leave the house in the midnight, Light easily climb over the fence to infiltrate the house’s protect. The fence was a series of spearhead steal bar line up but since there was a notice for the house’s decoration, there was blind spot where no spearhead could be found. Light already make sure his target don’t have a dog. He hates dogs since they hate him. Get over the fence, the next challenge Light have to face is the destiny enemy of any thief, the lock. Fore seen this outcome, Light has brought a master key, a key made to open any traditional door lock. Normally, a key maker would never do something like a master key since it goes against their basic rule of the job; this rule was what any key maker apprentice need to learn first. However, there are always people who temped by the bad things and do the bad thing. The master key cost Light a large amount of money. To make sure there would be nothing happen in the moment in need, Light running around try the key on any door he could find at home.

Open the door stealthy, Light get in the house.

Base on the house outline, Light figure it out in no time where are the bed rooms. However, which one belonged to the Secretary was another problem. It would be bad if he jump into the son’s bed room since he just left the house and maybe his wife is still awake.

Move like a cat, his favorite creature, Light make it to the second floor. Suddenly, he hears a voice come from the door ahead

“That pig just left to play with his friend. I can’t believe he left me behind for some guys in the middle of the night! Is he gay? Why didn’t he marry those game friends of his then?”

…

“I married him for his dad’s money anyway. But how he left me behind sure is hurt my pride you known?”

…

Light could not help but let out a snick when he over hear what the Secretary’s daughter in law said over the phone.

‘What kind of pride a person who chose to married a pig without love for money have?’ Light thought

He made a little bit noise outside the door

Normally, it’s better to leave the girl alone but doing so may left the risk of she call for police or alarm the surround when Light forces the Secretary open the safe. This was a gamble whenever or not Light can take out the Secretary’s daughter in law in silent.

“Hang up a bit, honey. I think I hear something. Maybe that pig forgot to close the door and some rats snick in. I will go and take a look. Call you later!”

Light could hear the girl voice over the door before the sound of footstep getting closer and then the door open.

Before his eyes was a petite girl but still well curved in the place it need. She was indeed cute and beautiful like a doll. No wonder why she feels angry when her husband, who she married just for his family’s fortune, abandoned her to play with some guys. The girl tried to open her eyes wide as if she tried to look through the darkness. However, with the weak light coming from her room, she was unable to realize Light was standing right next to the door.

Did not want the girl’s eyes get used to the darkness, Light move behind her and shut her mouth with a sleeping rag. Thanks to his good grade in Chemical class, making sleeping gas wasn’t too hard for Light. Just to be sure of the gas effective, Light did sniff it himself and fell on the spot when he made it.

The sight of a pretty girl, wearing nothing but sleeping cloths lay in front of him made Light could not help but feel his lust arise, especially when keep her from falling down and make unnecessary noise, Light was fully experienced her body softness. However, this is not time for this and taking advantage of the situation seems cheap and also stupid at the same time. With all his reason, Light move to the next room which must be his destination since there was no other place to be the secretary room.

One of the factors that help Light to snick in without being noticed must be how well made and maintained the doors of this house. He could open a door without any sound only thanks to how smoothly the door’s joint was. In the case of Light’s house, moving the door an inch and the whole house could hear the noise.

Silently open the door, reveal before Light’s eyes was the sight of a father stay late at night to work while his son went out to play with his friend. He could only feel sorry for the old man and about to thought of retreat and leave them alone. But the image that sound like a joke soon scratched when Light came close enough and realize what the Secretary was doing. He was counting money, god known where the money came from.

“This month is no good. I have to pre-pay for so many bribes but there was no chance for replenished my money…”

“Taking bribes has become hard lately thanks to that bastard who newly nominated to be the region’s representative, maybe I should suggest the big shots to get rid of him. Others sure will approve since their business had also affected a lot…”

The place Light lived was a corrupted region but it was not means there was no good political once in a while. Sadly, a drop of water cannot change the current. The corrupted political were not even tried to fully erase their misdeed track as long as they get rid of the banner who stand against them. Actually, they intentionally let some track behind so anyone who have even a little wits could realize the corrupted political was the once behind the screen, a warning of them if you say so. It was not unheard of when a great man who just broke a huge gamble organization and brought down many political behind it suddenly got sick and die; It was not impossible for a police director who just announced his intention of fighting against corruption die because of nuclear radials in the middle of the capital city surround by resident house despite the whole region itself is a free-nuclear region.

Letting the Police Director Secretary sleep with the sleeping rag, Light wonder what should he do after then. If he let this be, taking the cash and get away, there is high chance the Secretary will use his influence to hunt him down, by both the underground and police force. Obviously, Light already hunted by both force but this only make it all more intense since he was not only attack the pawns but also assaulted the higher up. Surely the head of these organizations would feel insecure when someone like that stay in the dark. Fortunately, since the Secretary was currently counting money, his secret note was right there. A flash suddenly came to Light.

In the next day, there was a huge commotion on Fakebook, one of the world largest social networks. In the morning, people saw a post on one of the largest information page on Fakebook. The post showed a lump middle-aged man tied onto the electric post with a sight hung on him said “Corrupted Public Servant”. In front of the old man was a note with another sign beside it said “evident for his sins, please hand it to the police only”. Additionally, there were many pictures of the note contents which said to prevent others corrupted persons related from hiding or changing the contents in front of the media. There were close to nine million views which equally to 10% population of the region and millions share of this post. The reporter soon reached the screen even before the local police force.

This was all Light’s deeds. He took the Secretary’s daughter in law phone and called the reporters while using one of his clone accounts to post the new and pictures on the network. Since all the attentions pointed to the Secretary and his superior, not many people thought about figured it out who was the one upload the information first. People in the same side of the Secretary would be too busy of cut their ties and clear the trace or hiding the truth. Whichever it was, unlikely they could come to Light.
