Dark.

Dark.

It was really dark.

The pale guy opened his eyes yet he felt like he is still closing his eyes. He couldn't find any light to see. He can't move his body either. He felt like he was under restraints like a prisoner. Both of his hands and legs were restrained by something. It was not iron nor tie. It restrained them really thigh. Tighter than iron nor tie.

"What just happened?" Rian tried to recall what had happened before he ended up here.

He was walking on the parking lot with Koji. A guy in white polka dot cloak appeared out of the blue and attacked them with an incredible force. He didn't move at all, but his surrounding went devastated like it was just devastated by a rampaging tornado. Koji tried to fight back, but he wasn't a match for him. He remembered that the guy hit his nape really hard that he lost his consciousness. He didn't know what happened after that.

He felt his head getting dizzy as he tried to think.

'Don't ever try to think if you want to stay alive.' The white-cloaked guy appeared before him.

'You-' The dizziness in his head was getting more painful.

'I don't need to tell you why your head is getting dizzy every time you try to think, do I?' The white-cloaked guy grabbed his face and white Iru emitted from his palm entering his head.

Rian felt that he was burning. His body was jolting yet the restraints kept making him feel more painful. his fingers felt like needles piercing his face and burned within.

'You'll help me to get him. Please enjoy this therapy.' He said.

After an hour of torment, he let his grip go. Rian lost his consciousness. And the black-cloaked guy appeared.

'How is the progress?' He asked.

'The brainwashing process is done. We just need to let him sleep for a moment. After he is awake, We just need to train him.' The white-cloaked guy said.

'Are you sure this guy can defeat the Alfa?'

'No worries, my lord, he is the key to our plan.'

'What if the effect wears off and he revolts?' The black-cloaked guy stroke the messy hair of Rian.

'It is the ultimate power that he has, but he isn't a match for me.' The white-cloaked guy said arrogantly.

'Very well if you say so. Just do anything you want.' The black-cloaked guy disappeared in a jiffy.

'You will be my masterpiece. Good night.' The white-cloaked guy disappeared in a jiffy.

Rian felt like his head getting dizzy. He just wished that it was just a mere nightmare.

"Am I sleeping? How long have I been sleeping?"

He felt he wasn't under restraints anymore. He could move his body freely. He felt something soft and comfy on his back.

"Was it just a dream?"

Rian hesitated to open his eyes. Was it a reality or a dream? He slowly opened his eyes and he saw a robot standing in front of him. It wears a brown armor with glowing blue things on its joints. Its head was just like a brown tube TV. He was just like a common monster on any MMORPG.

'Subject number 177013 is awake.' It said.

Rian found himself lying on a fluffy bed. He realized he just wore a pair of jeans. He was in a small room that the wall seemed to be dull. And the question is, what a robot was doing here?

'He... Hello?' Rian said.

'Lord Rian, good morning.' It kneeled before him.

The white cloaked guy entered his room.

'Thank goodness you're awake.' He said in a carefree tone. 'I'm sure you have a lot of questions for me. Just ask me anything, I'll gladly answer them.'

'Well, what just happened to me?'

'Oh, I just saved you from a bloody massacre.'

'A massacre?'

'Yes, there are so many people killing the innocents these days. I managed to save you, but not your friends.'

Rian was getting down.

'Yet, there's a way to resurrect them, destroying those scumbags.'

'Will they be resurrected as zombies?'

'No, I mean by resurrecting them into what they used to be.'

'Is that really possible?'

'Of course, but we do need your help.'

'My help? I can't do anything.'

'Oh, we do desperately need your help.'

They heard a bell ringing.

'Oh, the class has begun already, better don't be late. Chorobot will escort you to the class.'

'Right, my lord.' It said.

'It? Chorobot?' Rian looked confused.

'He'll be your personal assistant. Nice to meet you, Rian.' The white-cloaked guy disappeared in a jiffy.

'Well, I'll escort you to your class, sir.' Chorobot said.

'Right' Rian said following it.

They explored the hall. It looked dirty and dull. The place looked more like a haunted place rather than school. Rian couldn't remember anything about the torment before. He still wondered whether it was real or not. Everything was equivocal.

Rian entered the room. All subjects were lined there in front of a guy in orange polka dot cloak. And yes, his face was covered by his cloak.

"Is it KKK?" Rian was still confused.

'Right, let's begin the class already.' He said. 'I want each of you to awaken your power. How? Just imagine something and release it!'

All of them looked confused by what he just said. Chorobot walked forward.

'Chorobot will quantify your power. So, feel free to attack him as you want.' He said. 'You, give it a shot.' He pointed the guy on the front of the line.

He came forward and shot wind from his palm to Chorobot.

'Weak.' It said.

The guy shot an orange Iru to that guy bursting his body in a blink of an eye. Everyone was screaming by just looking at it.

'WAKU-WAKU DOESN'T NEED A WEAKLING!' He exclaimed. 'Next.'

All of them hesitated to come forward as they were afraid he would kill them.

'Next.' He said.

No one wanted to come forward. He then shot an orange Iru to the guy in front of Rian,

'Come or I'll kill each of you!' He exclaimed in an intimidating tone.

The fear was getting bigger. If they came, they would be killed, but if they didn't, they would be killed too. No one wants to die but the novelist himself (fuck my life). He looked like has out of patience that he killed them one by one. One body was bursting every second before Rian's eyes. His fear was getting bigger as the guy was getting closer to him. He shot an orange Iru to Rian, and Rian just opened his hand. Suddenly, thunder came from his palm devastating the orange Iru.

Silent.

Silent.

The guy looked shocked by what just happened before, so did Rian.

"W... What just happened???" Rian wondered.

He flicked his finger and a horde of Chorobot appeared from every direction advancing to Rian. Rian rushed as fast as he could to get away from them.

'Kill that guy!' He ordered them to kill Rian.

They took the book on their back. They did have something like a book on their back dunno whether it was a weapon or accessory. The books were floating before each of them. They put their hands to the book and pulled a saber out of it.

'Are you Asta or Magic Knight or something?!' Rian exclaimed irritatedly.

'Excalibur!' One of them swang it emitting a yellow wave to Rian. Rian dodged it and exclaimed, 'It's saber! Not Saber's Excalibur! It's Arthuria Pendragon, not Saber!!!'

Rian speeded up his pace while jumping evading the yellow waves they sent. He then remembered to what just the guy said before.

"Kill that guy!" No, not that one.

"Come or I'll kill each of you!" No, not that one.

"Remember! He is #1!" He is not SpongeBob!!!

"Just imagine something and release it!"

"Does he mean that the power is based on one's imagination?! If that's so...."

Rian teleported to their back by turning himself into thunder. He tossed a coin and poked it to them. The coin flew fast bouncing on them like a pinball. Once it bounced back to Rian's hand, he exclaimed, 'Pistolet!'

A tremendous roaring thunder struck them out of the blue deactivated them.

"I didn't expect that he would be that strong. Interesting..." The white-cloaked guy was watching him from outside.

"So, it's true. I can exploit this power as I like."

Ran burst out laugh manically. He felt that he could do anything with his power.

'Rian! Kill them!' The guy exclaimed.

'Right' Rian opened his hand and struck all of them into ashes.

"I've created a Berserker. Even if he was one of FGO chars, I am sure he would be able to defeat Gudako." The white-cloaked guy disappeared in a jiffy.

And after that event, Rian got promoted to Orange Rank and became one of the strongest of them. Rian managed to fulfill his mission perfectly alongside with Chorobot that he was known as "Rian the Pale Thunder". He had occupied almost half of Indonesia. Then Rian was assigned to kill Alfi and his party in Bali as they managed to kill all of the guardians there.

Rian and Chorobot then flew to the sky by riding a cloud.

'Say...' Chorobot tried to break the ice. 'We are made by them so we can be the invincible army of Waku-waku.'

'Why should they? Our members are just enough, right?'

'Don't you know? They are just pathetic weaklings that they even can't be a match for Herman, the weakest one of their party. '

'Then? What's the difference with you?'

'Did you forget what happened in your first class? We were asked to quantify your power, right?'

'Then?'

'By quantifying it, we can set a power so we can be stronger than our opponents.'

'So, in other words, you can manipulate your own power to be stronger than your opponents in terms of he must deal damage to you, right?'

'That's Rian for you. I hope I could be like you.'

'What do you mean?'

'Human is the most perfect creature that God creates, right? But, why the world can be so broken like this? Is the human behind all of this?'

'I think so. Human is a creature that loves wasting time. They create it and destroy ie. They create something to destroy something and vice versa. I wonder why they do such a thing. Not to mention about this era. Everything is complicated.'

'Maybe that's why Waku-waku is here. We destroy the world and restart it. Start it off from scratch for a better change and order. Oh, they also promise us that they will turn us into humans like them. I even have a friend just like a human.'

Chorobot held his hands.

'I'm looking forward to it.'

Rian just saw that brown tube head, yet he could feel that Chorobot was so grateful for having a friend like him. Rian then hugged it tightly.

'You are also a precious friend of mine.' He said.

'I am so happy.'

Suddenly Rian channeled electric current to Chorobot striking him that he deactivated.

'You are my friend, yet I don't have any choices.' Rian kicked it that it fell drowning into the sea.

'Phase 1 completed. Waiting for the next instruction.' He said by telepathy.

'Splendid, go to phase 2.' The guy on the line said.

'Affirmative.' Rian flew through to Bali

"Alfi, Koji. Wait for me."

From the hideout of Waku-waku, the white-cloaked guy knew Rian's plan. He had put a spy camera on Chorobot body to watch every of his movement before.

'Fufufu... Such a cheap trick won't fool me, Rian. You are smart, yet you always let your guard down so I could know what your plan with that guy is. Guess, I have to join the fray too.' The white-cloaked guy disappeared in a jiffy.

Alright, we'll be back to the main plot. So, please be patient.
