Seventeen years have passed since the last Level. It was November 1987. To tell you more, Mathias had been raised by that woman, who was the sister of the village priest. That woman was a widow, she had lost her husband and her son in 1968 due to a traffic accident from which she was not so unharmed either... But that's not what's important right now, is it? Or is it not? She is fine now, for your knowledge.

Well, back to the present, Mathias was already a young man of 18. Describing him, he was a slim young man. He had blond hair, although it was a bit dark. He also had black eyes. And well... Mathias had not yet decided what to do with his life. He had just finished high school, but he still didn't know what career to study... Although this doesn't matter now.

The date was November 27, 1987. It was nighttime. Mathias, accompanied by a young lady, was leaving a house.

- Are you ready? - Mathias asked.

- Yes! - replied the young lady who accompanied him jovially.

- Then follow me.

That young lady's name was Samantha Reagan and... She was Mathias' girlfriend (today was their anniversary). She went with her parents from time to time to visit her grandparents who lived in town. Mathias and Samantha met when they were both six years old. Since then, they started to develop a friendship that ended in a love relationship....

And well, talking more about Samantha, she was very sociable and almost always she had a smile in her face. Her father owned an oil company, so her family never had financial problems, unlike Mathias', who always had to ask for help from his uncle, the priest. Describing her physically, she had tousled orange hair and was fit, so to speak. She also had a fair complexion and blue eyes. She was 1.76m tall.

Moving on... They both went to a nearby forest, to look at the stars and talk, according to Mathias.

On the way they were already talking about various trivial things. Mathias thought at a certain point: "Darn.... Today marks one year since we've been dating.... I hope she likes what I did to her."

They finally reached a place where there were sparse trees, and from which they could see the town in the distance.

- Oh, this is it? - said Samantha. - Oh, how beautiful! The town at night is beautiful.... And the starry sky... It's beautiful.

- Yes it is. - Mathias said, and thought: "She probably has no idea why I brought her here. As she forgets a lot of things, she probably forgot that today is our anniversary... Nah, it doesn't matter. I'm going to give her the pendant."

- Oh, and what did we come all the way out here for? - Samantha asked.

- (I don't know what to say... I'll give her the pendant instead.) Sam, do you know what today is? - said Mathias.

- Mmm... Friday? - He answered.

- (I knew it.) Well... You see, today is our anniversary and...

- Wait, it was today?!? It can't be... I'm sorry, I... I forgot... - Samantha was a little sad because of that.

- It doesn't matter... I made you something to commemorate it...- Mathias said to her, and took out of his pocket a heart-shaped wooden pendant. - Here... This is the first thing I've done without using my powers.

- Owww... It's really pretty! But... You went out of your way to make a gift for me, and I didn't make you anything? - Samantha said. - I'm really sorry.

- Nah, you being here with me is enough. - said Mathias.

- R- Really? - She replied.

- Yes. - He said and hugged her.

While this was happening, something unusual could be seen in the starry sky. It seemed that a red star was approaching, that worried Mathias a little, but after a moment he didn't give it any importance and continued talking with Samantha.

- Mat, I'm going to put it on, okay?

- Yes, do that. - Mathias said.

- Wow, you're really excited, huh? - said Samantha. - You want me to try it on that bad? *smirk*

Samantha put it on.

- It looks good on you... But I think I should have done it better.

- It’s OK, Mat, I love it. - Samantha said. "I'm going to treasure this gift for the rest of my days."

A while later, Samantha turned to look up at the sky and exclaimed:

- Oh, look, a red star. It was called Antares, wasn't it?

- I guess, you're the one who knows the most about those things.

- Although I don't think you can see it this time of year, but I'm not sure....

- Hey... It's getting closer to us.

- What?!?

And indeed, a strange-looking meteorite was approaching them... Seriously. That meteor appeared to be no more than three feet long.

Mathias and Samantha ran so that the meteorite heading towards them would not reach them, and it finally crashed a few meters away from them. It did not cause any noise.

They both went to check on the meteorite, but out of nowhere it broke into many pieces, and one of them flew into Samantha's shoulder and went right through her.

- What? Sam! - was the only thing Mathias said when he saw that, surprised.

When he went over to see if something else had happened, he noticed that, next to the small crater that the meteorite had left, there were four strange creatures lying there.

Mathias was stunned to see them. Suddenly, one of them stood up, it was a yellow triangular-shaped creature: it was TRX.

- Hello.

- ...

TRX greeted Mathias, but Mathias didn’t say a word. While this was happening, the others began to get up.

Samantha, who was ignoring the pain because of the scene she was witnessing, looked at them with a surprised face. Roundy, seeing her bleeding, approached her and began to heal her, Samantha did not say a word at this. And out of nowhere, Pointy said:

- You guys can see our normal appearance, if I'm not mistaken, can you tell me why?

- Ah... You are aliens, aren't you? And then how...?

- Answer his question... Please.

The one who interrupted Mathias was Roundy, who doesn't usually talk to strangers. To this, Mathias didn't know what to answer, so Samantha decided to do so, although she was a bit frightened.

- We don't know... But what did the... arrow mean, that we can see its true forms?

- According to what we were told, no one should be able to see what we really look like, but you can... So I don't know either. - Answered Blocky. - But it's not like I'm worried either.

- Well, enough talk, let's put the coin on you. - said TRX, out of nowhere.

And so he did. TRX brought her the coin that the first angel had given them, but it didn't shine with Samantha.

- That's weird... I thought you would be the Hero or Heroine in your case, but you're not. I'm sorry

- Hero? And why are you apologizing? - Mathias and Samantha answered in unison.

- I don't know... Well, now you. - said TRX to Mathias.

This time, when TRX brought the coin to Mathias, it glowed out of nowhere. That meant...

- Unbelievable, you are the Hero. - said Blocky, and added. - Do you have any special skills or powers?

- ...I don't know what you mean, but I can do this. - Mathias answered.

As soon as he finished saying that, Mathias pointed at a pebble that was a few meters away and it started to move in the air in the same directions he was pointing at. TRX and the others recognized that, they were psychic powers.

- So... You didn't really come to invade Earth or something like that? - Samantha asked, suddenly, she seemed to be worried, but also curious. - Hey, hey, what do you think you're doing Mat?!

- ...Sorry. - Mathias was making the gesture of carrying a long sword. - It's just that I have a bad feeling about them.

- Why would we do that? - replied Pointy. - We only came to look for the Hero to help him save this world. The Almighty entrusted him to us, besides, what would we gain by invading this small planet? Absolutely nothing.

- Okay, but... What do you mean "so small"? And who is "the Most High". - Asked Samantha.

- There are planets, habitable for human beings, that are much bigger, that's what you meant, isn't it Pointy? - said TRX. - Oh, and about the Almighty, you shall know.

- Indeed. - answered Pointy.

- (Surprised) Oh, I see.... So, what do you mean by "The Hero"? - asked Samantha, putting her left index finger on the left edge of her lips.

- Isn't it obvious? - Blocky replied, and his eyes began to sparkle. - He's going to save the world! (They stopped glowing) Well, this world... Well, all worlds... I don't know.

- What? - They both said in unison, surprised and dotty-eyed with their undetailed triangle-shaped mouths pointing down. Imagine a question mark over them too.

- Well, I guess it's time to tell your parents this, Mathias. - said Pointy. - That you're going on an adventure to save the world.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey... - Mathias interrupted him. - You can't just talk about those things like that, besides.... Ummm...

- If you came to look for him, don't you think it would have been good if you had also investigated more about him? - said Samantha. - Well, they seem to know a lot of English terms so I'll say it: Mathias doesn't know his biological parents, he is an orphan.

- Is he? - said Blocky, and added with a face of nonchalance. - It doesn't matter.

Those words seemed to shock Samantha a little, but Mathias was unfazed. He didn't mind meeting his biological parents, he wanted to when he was younger, but not anymore.

- You’re an... - Samantha said, but Mathias interrupted her, putting his index finger on her lips.

- Nah, it's okay. And so... It's going to be a little weird to introduce them to my adoptive mother, don't you think, Sam?

- Huh? Heh, I guess.

- Shall we go talk to your caregivers now? - said Pointy, who seemed impatient.

- Whew... That's all right. - said Mathias. - Although we were on to something... Well, it doesn't matter anymore.

- What do you mean, it doesn't!? - complained Samantha.

- And why are you complaining if you were the one who forgot?

- Wait... Two young people of different sexes alone in the woods at night? - Roundy mused, and then said. - You weren't going to do weird things, were you?

Mathias and Samantha were silent, not because he had guessed what they were going to do (which, as you know, he hadn't, but for coming to such a... you know, weird conclusion.).

- Of course not! - Samantha said to him, blushing and... Embarrassed, I don't know why. - ...Let's go now.

They all left on their way to town. On the way, TRX told them a little thing or two that wasn't very important in itself. Oh, she also told their names and what powers they had, it was weird. Samantha also thanked Roundy for healing her.... Although she was starting to get a fever, but she didn't think anything of it.

When they got home, Mathias' mother, his uncle, the priest, and, surprisingly, Samantha's parents were sitting at the table. They were drinking tea while chatting.

When everyone came in, the priest and Mathias' mother were surprised, no.... They were a little scared. To Mathias and Samantha, TRX and the others were cute little creatures with striped eyes. To the others, they changed appearance depending on the living being that was watching them. What's more, each being saw the things TRX and the others did differently. Although they had the same purpose, the ways in which they did it were coupled to the aspects they had assumed, for those who were observing them.

In this case, they looked like humans, but they had garments, so to speak, old.... No, that's not the term.... Mmm... Ah! Clothes from a bygone era, from a elusive age, there it is.... Well, from a too old era... Or maybe from another world? You'll see.

They didn't seem to be younger than eight or older than twelve. They looked way too younger compared to Mathias and Samantha. I mean... They looked like children. I'm sorry, I literally forgot that word... Anyway.

- Hey, hey. What's up? - Blocky said to Mathias' mother. - We've come to take Mathias on a trip to save THE WORLD (he emphasized those words), so... Shall we take him now? We don't have much time.

Everyone was stunned, even Blocky after realizing what she said.

- I'm sorry... - was all she managed to say.

It was the strangest situation. Hearing a girl as a child say something like that can't be considered normal, not at all, I think.

- Mathias, ummm... Who are your little friends? - asked his mother.

- Ah, well you see... - Mathias said and thought, "This is going to be hard to explain, I think."

But, before he could explain anything, Samantha fainted, to everyone's surprise.... Except TRX and the others.

- Ummm... Don't worry, please. - said Roundy. - I'm going to heal her, you'll see. Is there a room to make her rest, in the meantime?

Samantha's parents got really scared and her father got furious and started yelling at Mathias:

- What the hell did they do out there, why did my daughter just faint?

- And who are these children? - the priest asked Mathias, who didn't know what to say. - And why are they...?

- Hey, aren't you going to help your daughter? - said Pointy to Samantha's parents.

- But... - said her mother, putting the fingers of her left hand on her chin, she looked worried.

- Just have her lie down on a bed, then we'll see. - said Blocky. - Well, I'd better take her, just tell me where, come on Roundy.

- Okay... - said Roundy.

- I'll... I'll take you, I guess. - said Mathias' mother. - Ah!

She was startled to see Samantha levitating because of the psychic powers Blocky had. Actually, everyone was surprised, except the priest, for some reason. They still went to the room that was supposed to be Mathias'. After a while, Mathias' mother returned.

- Well, now we can explain everything to them. - said TRX... And they showed their true forms.

- WHAT? - they all shouted in unison, except Mathias because... Well, he already saw them like that.

- Listen to us then. - said Blocky, who was returning to the living room.

- All right. - said Pointy as he flew around the room. - said Pointy as he flew around the place. - Now I'll proceed to explain everything... Or do you want me to call an angel in my place? I think they explain better.

- No, go ahead. - said Samantha's father, who had already calmed down a little.
