As the day went by he takes a shower and changed into his old jacket, black and white T-shirt and leather jeans. Coming out from his room the supposed be childhood friend already left for college with expectation.

In the year 2060, The world has advanced to a certain degree of innovation like flying cars, slimmer TV, VR gadgets, a wide variety of food, medicine, and much other innovation had been discovered.

Corporation had taken root in modern society and had become the government's economic support and where almost all policy was controlled by the large-sized corporation.

As he walks to the bus station he saw a group filled with student, worker, and businessmen waiting at the bus stop as the bus arrived the group queued to go inside and by the time Agus arrive he come last before the vehicle moved once more with him sitting in the back of the bus.

On the bus he sees the advertis.e.m.e.nt of the newest War Of Ages newest game on the passing billboard but as he watches his surrounding the kids same as his age playing around like no care throwing empty bottle near him.

Agus who saw it with quick hand grab the bottle and throw it like it's nothing before landing perfectly inside the trash can outside the bus, some people were amazed by his skill and praised him but Agus see it as something ordinary and normal to him.

"Nice throw kid," said by some nearby A.d.u.l.t.

"It's nothing, sir," as he waved his hand humbly.

Walking to the campus he saw beautiful scenery as he entered the university with some passing student by but some even look at him with envy and even wish to get close at him.

Due to his financial problem he could not play around and wish to get in class quickly and search for a job inside, his class degree is computer analyst and program.

"Hello, may I ask where is the Computer analyst class is?" asked by Agus.

"Hm? oh, are you also looking for it? same as me" answered by a student.

"Okay?! never expected that coming," as he looks at the student in surprise.

"I was planning to go there, myself. my name is Adit Pratama, Yours?" as he gave his hand. "Agus Purnomo" give a handshake. "Nice, where is it? ah, found it," as he searches the class.

Agus and Adit arrived at the front of the class but to find the class a bit empty showing only three to four people in it since computer analyst is still new in this country so almost no one is surprised by the lack of student.

The most student would go is either Economy or Crafting Class leaving class like Computer analyst to its current state, few of the remaining student was interested in it.

The class will talk about every aspect of the computer in today's trend for example gaming, new game opinion, new software opinion, programming, bug, and fix, etc.

Agus once dreamed as a programmer once even supported by his mother before her death, His mother also once a programmer in a good company before the company fallen to bankruptcy but due to such event he was separated from his biological father and no one knew where he is now.

His mother's family has some dislike toward his mother even the debt has been paid fully even after death they never once came saying that they could not attend due to work but he knew they don't want to come.

His father's family is still a mystery and no one knew them especially his mother even though she married his father, His father's family is supposed to be average but no one knew who are they it's like they never once existed.

As he arrived at the class and take a seat some of the students were talking the newest game War of Ages with excitement and they even mentioned his player name not knowing him.

"He already joined the game even surprised my leader even have cold feet hearing the notification," as the student smile in excitement.

"Not only you, but I was also planning to begin invasion to European with my game friend then the notification just came out like crazy," said another student who was standing.

"Where is he right now, anyway? Asia, America, or Europa?" said by the next student browsing the info. "No one meets with him yet, so don't know," said another student.

Agus who is listening about his player name could only sneer at the matter but his face has no expression shown as he continues looking at his table and looks at the inside it.

Suddenly someone appeared on the front of his desk not interested be quickly grab a book inside relating to his class subject before looking at the person in front of him.

"Oh, you are a good looking fellow," said a female student.

"Hm? you are," as he looks at the female student in confusion.

"That's first usually everyone else always tries to flirt or get close to me," as she crosses her hand. "Wow? she just gets close to him" said another student.

"Well, my name is Maria, Maria Sanjaya. Since you are a little different you can call me Mary, most of my friends call me that," as she gives her hand to him.

"Agus Purnomo, 1st-year student," as he just said he continues to look at the note from the table. "You are different," said in mesmerization by Mary.

"Adit, come here and give me your note I want to compare it," as he ignores mary.

"Eh? here then" not knowing what to do he gave out his note.

The student who comes to look for mary and the student that arrived were surprised by his act and some also angered by it and was going to teach him a lesson before being stopped by Mary.

"Okay, then since you were disturbed I shall leave now," as she walks out of the classroom. "Ah, Good morning sir," as she meets the class teacher.

Mary left the classroom as the teacher arrived while asking for each student's name and the lecture started.

As the bell rang the teacher dismissed the class till the next season as Agus was going to leave the class suddenly a group of women and a couple of men arrive at the front of the door after the teacher left.

The student was surprised by the second visit by the notorious heir of the company such heir which were declared by her father that she shall become the next head of the company after she graduates from college because of her beauty and intelligence.

Her family has always been dominated by male descendants but today century there already few males in the family and at the same time lack of ability were seen in every aspect of the family.

In her family has one elder brother but due to his weak and fragile body, he could not become the head of the family, her second sister was not very good in socializing thus were disqualified as the family head.

Her youngest brother was good at social and has a strong body but due to being too young even the servant agreed that the young child was still wild as the next young head and easily controlled by others.

"He is the one I told you about," as Mary stops at the front of the class talking to a woman on her side.

Agus who finished packing the book and note to his bag quickly stand from his seat and walk to the door but blocked by the group.

"Please stop for a moment Agus," as the other woman plan to stop him.

"Hm?" uninterested Agus glance to the woman next to Mary.

"Let me through, I have a schedule to make now if you excuse me," said without batting an eye.

"And who said you can leave here," as a male student blocked Agus's path.

"Well, I did say so," As Agus look at the man.

"Oh, you think yourself tough then try this for size," as the men tried to pull a punch toward Agus.

Mary on the other end was trying to stop the male student from fighting but due to her being far away from him, she could not stop it while the women next to her were playing dumb and were smiling from the incident to teach Agus a lesson not to disobey her.

Unexpectedly Agus just moved to the side while deflecting the punch to the student's lower hand thus the punch flew directly to the unlucky fellow next to him which made the poor fellow fly to a nearby wall and knocking him unconscious after the crash.

The nearby student was flabbergasted as they watch the event unfold in front of them and the student who tried to punch Agus was surprised just dodging could cause someone to unconscious right away.

"Done? can I leave now" said l you?!" as the angered student vent his anger punch was thrown once more.

"Once more? have to do it then," as Agus get on his battle stance and counter-attack at the student staggered the men instantly.

"Wait, did you just use Pencak Silat?" said the nearby student who is a martial arts student.

"Yup" as Agus glance towards him.

"His movement is too fast and uncounterable," said the other martial student.

"Ah, why we did not try to recruit him?" said another martial student.

No one from the martial art student gives no reply.

"What the meaning of this?!" a teacher who just pass a corridor before seeing a fight to occurred as he passing by.

"Disperse, get out of here now," said the gathered student.

As they all leaving Agus also leave with them but separated leaving the unlucky knocked up student being carried away bt the teacher.

Agus quickly walk the corridor and open the door to the library as he walks to the receptionist's desk and responded by the librarian as she opened her mouth.

"Do you wish to read in here or do you wish to borrow books?" with a smile shown.
