March 11th, 2219.

The ray of the sunrise shines through the window. Lighting up the town called Saburallis, one of the main cities in The Sterilis Deserta Nation. The city is recognized for its extremely hot temperature and barren place. The cracks on the sandy ground only add extra layers from how hot this place is. in a small house in Subarilis, 2 men are talking in the garage.

"200 years after The Great Fall, humanity has learned to move on, but not all.. some people who didn't get qualified as an Outer Space Explorer (OSE) or not smart enough to make their own Multiverse traveling device, have no way to make money and stuck as beggar on the side of the street. This tragedy didn't happen to only 1 or 2 persons, but thousands.. and even though some people already made organization for the poor, there's barely anyone that donates to it!"

I'd spoke out from the work to my friend that's leaning on a door frame as o works on something. the room was covered in orange hue as i use my fire torch that's gripped tightly in my hands covered in gloves and face covered in protective mask. the fire torches was used to connect pieces of metal on an object that resembles a compass.

"And your point is..?"

My friend replied with confusion, he crossed his arms, still leaning against the door frame.

"My point is, why don't we leave the corporation we're working for, make our own multiverse traveling device, gather all materials from another world, and donate some of it"

I'd say as i lift my protective mask, face tainted with oil and dust after pulling an all nighter building this device from scraps.

"are you crazy?"

My friend replied.

"I can barely have enough money to support myself even when working in a corporation. If I leave there's no guarantee if I can support myself. Plus, building your own multiverse traveling device is absolutely dangerous. it could go out of control."

"Well there's no arguing that the device could get out of control.. But I've had enough with these tight schedules and deadlines. I want to explore other worlds just for myself, I don't want it as a job, it's boring. I want to savor the feeling, the fresh air of another world, the ray of light and the life in that other world. What do you say, Caelum, would you join me in my adventure?"

My friend, Caelum falls in deep ponder and hesitation. seeing his reaction I'd run to the corner of the room where an object was covered in cloth.

"Plus!! look at this masterpiece i made!!"

I'd take the white cloth off, revealing the object under it. a oversized junk of metal with a handle and a guard that covers the hand.

"look! it can work as a hover bike, a bat, and also a laser cannon by opening the front side of it!! i call this masterpiece, Brisa. Dont you want to ride this masterpiece with me in another universe?!"

Caelum finally looked up, his eyes tensed and serious.

"I'm sorry Deyric. I'm not willing to take chances in the future of my life. I hope you understand. With that said, I've got to go now, I have an expedition scheduled today."

Caelum replies to the invitation before walking off and disappearing in the distance.

"sigh.. no one wants to join me, I guess this will be a one person trip."

I spoke to myself. My stomach rumbles, hungry for food.

"I guess a meal before going would be all right. I pulled an all nighter and I haven't eaten since the last day... one meal wouldn't hurt"

I'd grin and stand up from my chair, stretching my stuff body after hours sitting to complete his very own multiverse traveling device.

"Hmmm.. what should I get, a burger, a fried chicken or.."

I fall in a deep ponder, closing the garage door behinde and walk off with my mouth drooling only by thinking about the foods i could buy.

_______________________________________________________

I'd walk through the sidewalk of Saburallis, the place is hot as usual, despite how extremely hot the place is i instead feel nostalgic. Growing up in a barren wasteland like Saburallis was never easy, not only the place can easily cause heat stroke, but bandits and thugs are also common around empty corners. The place that used to be a small and deserted town, is now one of the main cities in The Sterilis Deserta Nation with many tourists.

I'd walk through the bustling street and vendors, mouth drooling and in deep ponder. he walks into a restaurant, Sordida Junk. One of the most famous fast food chains throughout the world. It has many branches in Sterilis Deserta, Gelu Terra, Terram Pacificam, and Tenebris Umbra.

Deyric walks while clutching his stomach and sits down on a table near the window. A servant immediately came to his service and gave him the menu.

"Good morning sir, I'm your servant today, please call out your order and I'll write it for you."

Deyric's eyes scans through the menu, his eyes darting from a picture of food to another.

"I'll have the Chicken Burger with extra cheese, no pickels and extra sauce. Then I'll have the Vanilla Milkshake and a Waffle with Vanilla ice cream on top."

The waiter writes down the order.

"Your food is coming right up, Mister."

The waiter then walked away to the counter, handing the piece of paper that has Deyric's order written to his workmate.

As i wait, I'd stare out of the window, looking at the clear sky where the ray of sun shines every corner of city, i can't help but smile as i look at the bustling streets filled with locals, immigrants, and tourists. the once deadly dangerous city had turned into a lively and bustling city where people can live and stay with smile on their face without a care in the world.
