《The Contact Person》


 Book 1 Chapter 1: Setting up the backstory

    ¡°This is your new classroom.¡± A man wearing a traditional Indian white dhoti and white kurta pointed at a room. The man was already in his sixties, but he had the looks and posture of a man in his thirties, the result of the strict body-building regime he went through in his teens. With still glowing skin despite age, neatly combed white and black hair, and straight back, he could still draw attention from people. But none did. The reason being, even though the man and his wife were earning enough money to wear good cloths, he was wearing a pair of cheap sandals and his clothes were patched in many places, evident that he had been wearing the same cloth for many years. He nudged the little boy beside him and asked, ¡°Do you understand, Roy?¡±


    ¡°Yes baba, I understand.¡± Roy answered. Then he walked inside the classroom designated for 1st standard and chose a seat at the front row. Of course, he didn''t like sitting at the front row. But his parents wanted him to and threatened to beat him if he didn''t sit at the front row.


    * * * * *


    Days went by and soon it was time for final yearly exam. Roy did quite well in the exam. Maybe not perfect, but he had answered most of the questions flawlessly. After all, he had a good head on his shoulder. After two weeks, it was time for the result. As expected, Roy did quite well and ranked second only by a difference of 3 marks. He went home in high spirits while clutching his grade card, proud of what he had achieved.


    But all of his pride snuffed out when he handed his grade card to his parents and disappointment cloud their faces. His mother spoke first, ¡°You ranked second? You think we work all day and make sure you have enough time to study for this? Look at our neighbor¡¯s kid. He ranked first in his school. What are we going to tell the people when our neighbors brag to everyone that their kid ranked first? We are going to be the laughing stock of the whole neighborhood.¡±


    Roy was confused. Why people would laugh at him? So he asked, ¡°Why would they do that? They didn''t help me to study, why would they care about my grades?¡±


    Roy''s father was angry, ¡°Of course they would care. You are my son. Your grade must be on top of everyone. When I was at your age, I supported my family with the tailor shop during day and studied under the road light during night. If you have any shame, then study harder rather than going out to play every afternoon.¡±


    ¡°But I love to play. I study in the morning, in the noon and even in the night. Why can''t I play in the afternoon?¡± Roy complained. He didn''t care much about ranking first or second. What difference does it make anyway?


    ¡°This is not a discussion. From now on, you are to play for one hour in the afternoon of every alternate day. That much play time is enough.¡± His parents stated with a stern voice. Roy didn''t dare talk back since he knew he would be beaten if he didn''t agree. They turned around to leave indicating the discussion was over. His mother grumbled, ¡°Ranked second. How are we going to live down the shame?¡±


    * * * * *


    Years went by and now Roy was in 5th standard. One fine afternoon, he was playing soccer with his friends in a nearby playing field. A man was watching the game from a corner of the field with rapt attention. The game ended and Roy''s team won by 3-1, two of those goals scored by Roy.


    The man watching the game clapped and whistled loudly. ¡°Well played kid. Where do you take coaching classes?¡± Asked the man as he approached Roy and knelt down in front of him.


    ¡°What''s a coaching class?¡± Roy asked while tilting his head, not understanding the question. He never heard of this coaching thing.


    ¡°Who taught you that move you were using very frequently during the whole match?¡± inquired the man.


    ¡°You mean the move where I fake going to one side, but I actually go to the opposite side?¡± Roy asked with giddiness in his voice.


    ¡°Yes that one.¡± the man confirmed.


    ¡°No one taught me. I was watching a football match on TV some time ago in school and I saw a player do that. I liked that move and it seemed pretty easy to do, so I started practicing whenever I played.¡± Roy puffed out his chest in pride and explained.


    ¡°You taught yourself how to do a football move after watching it on TV?¡± the man asked incredulously. Was this kid serious?


    ¡°Yes.¡± Roy was practically shining.


    The man was intrigued. ¡°Alright kid. I am gonna show you a move. I want you to see it closely and try to do it.¡± He took off his coat and got ready with the ball.


    Roy watched his feet attentively. The man performed an elastico move once and asked, ¡°Did you get it?¡±


    Roy shook his head in denial and sat in a different angle, ¡°No. Do it one more time.¡±


    It took two more demonstration while Roy watched the move from two more different angles before he got it. He took the ball and tried to do the elastico, but failed miserably. He stared at his feet for a few moments and tried some shadow movements. The man was shocked to see that Roy is already having an idea on how to do it.


    ''This boy is something. He understood how to do that move only by seeing me do it. Sure, he lacks the proper training necessary to actually do it, but this level of observation and comprehension skill is not something you expect from a 10-odd year old kid. If trained properly, this boy could become a star player in the future.'' a look of determination flashed across the man''s face.


    Roy tried to do the move for some time before the man stopped him. ¡°That''s enough kid. Let''s go home.¡±


    ¡°Just give me a moment, I think I almost got this.¡± Roy didn''t even look at the man before answering. The man chuckled and snatched the ball away from him, ¡°Don''t overdo it kid. You don''t have to do it today. Keep practicing and you will eventually be able to do it. Now let''s go to your home. I have some things to discuss with your parents.¡±


    The walk back home was a mere 5 minutes¡¯ walk. Roy called for his parents and told them that the man wanted to discuss something.


    Roy''s father, Bipu came out and asked the man. ¡°You wanted to see me?¡±


    ¡°Yes sir. I am Riju, president of the local youth club and a football coach.¡± The man politely introduced himself.


    ¡°Oh, a vagabond. So what''s this about?¡± Bipu asked condescendingly. To him, if one didn''t work a government job, then they were trash.


    Riju frowned at the blatant insult thrown at him so openly but kept his calm and started explaining, ¡°Your son has an excellent observation and comprehension skill. I believe he will have a great career in soccer if he starts training as soon...¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Bipu rudely cut him off in the middle of his explanation. The man stopped explaining and asked, ¡°beg your pardon?¡±


    ¡°He won''t be becoming any soccer player, or cricketer, or any of those hillbillies. They neither earn any money nor respect. I won''t accept that for my family.¡± Bipu spoke with such conviction that Riju thought for a second that he was hearing things. A good player who don''t earn money and respect? Doesn''t this man see any news? Is this man just pretending or does he actually believe what he just said?


    ¡°If you just open any newspaper sir, I''m sure you will see that sports players are highly respected and are very well paid.¡± Riju tried to convince Bipu. It was not every day you come across a highly talented youth.


    ¡°You want me to believe that a soccer player is more respected and paid than a government employee? Listen boy, go and try to scam someone else, not me. I know everything you unemployed scums cook up to deceive good people like us. My son will become something which is fitting for my family. He will become a respected IAS officer.¡± Bipu seemed pleased with his decision. ¡°Instead of trying to scam people, go and try to get a respectable government job. I know how this will go if I agree with you. Now you are saying he needs to train. You will later ask for money with the pretense of training material and things. And then you will deny ever taking money from us and will go scamming some other people. You better leave while you still can or else I will call the police.¡±


    Riju clenched his jaw trying to suppress his anger. This man had a very narrow view about the world and a god sent gift of openly insulting people, ¡°I daresay players are more respected and paid than any government employee.¡± He took a deep breath and calmed down. ¡°But it''s your decision I guess. Thank you for your time.¡±


    ¡°Baba, couldn''t I just join the club and practice?¡± pleaded Roy.


    ¡°Roy, you are still a kid. We are adults and we have more life experience than you.¡± Bipu said it in a matter-of-fact tone, ¡°You don''t know what you want to do with your life. We know what you want to do with your life.¡± Riju did a double take hearing the man talk. He couldn''t believe that the man just said that they know what the boy wants to do. ¡°You don''t want to play and waste your time, you want to study more. Now go inside and clean up. Those books aren''t gonna read themselves.¡± Bipu concluded sternly and made it clear that he won''t budge from his decision.


    ¡°Yes baba.¡± Roy hung his head and headed inside.


    ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Bipu''s tone told Riju that he should excuse himself immediately.


    ¡°No sir. I will take my leave.¡± Riju nodded and left while muttering. ''Damn man. Another talent got trampled because of typical Indian parenting attitude. Only thing they know is engineer, doctor or government job. Nothing else. I feel sorry for you kid. You are going to have a very, very tough future with parents like that. Stay strong and I wish you best of luck.''


    Roy became depressed after this incident and stopped going out to play in the afternoon. His parents were overjoyed that he stopped wasting his time playing. They didn''t notice his depression and that he even sometimes showed suicidal tendencies. After all, they only cared about his grade card, like most other typical Indian parents.


    * * * * *


    A year went by and Roy finally got over his depression. He didn''t return to playing soccer though. Rather he picked up a new sport, badminton. His parents weren''t at all happy that he again started wasting his time playing. They conveyed the same to him. They also got other relatives and neighbors to tell him that he should study more instead of playing. Roy stubbornly ignored them, even when his parents threatened to beat him. Somewhere in the back of his mind he already concluded that if he would get beaten for everything he loves to do, then why not just do it? At least that way he will be able to what he loves to do for a time.


    Some months went by and the same pattern repeated itself. A badminton trainer took interest in the play style of Roy and tested him by challenging him to a one-on-one match. Satisfied with Roy''s comprehension ability, he asked Roy if he could talk with his parents. But this time Roy clearly told the man that his parents would not approve and he better try his luck elsewhere. The man was persistent, but after Roy explained what happened last time, he gave up.


    And this is how Roy grew up. His every life decision taken by his parents. His every step watched by his parents. Wherever he went, whatever he did, there were people assigned by his parents who would relay everything back. If there weren''t such people available, his parents would repeatedly visit or call up his friends to check up on him. As a result, his friends started to avoid him. Parents of his friends forbade him from coming to their house because Roy''s parents will call them repeatedly and quite rudely tell them that they are wasting Roy''s time to study.


    In the end, he was supposed to become another victim of irresponsible parenting, but fate had other plans for him.


    * * * * *


    One fine morning, Roy woke up after the familiar alarm tone went off and an unfamiliar ceiling greeted him. He panicked for a bit upon seeing the unfamiliar room and hastily sat up on the single bed he was sleeping on. He was going to jump out of the bed and scream in fright, but fortunately for him, he remembered what was happening.


    Yesterday he came to this city which was quite far away from his village. He got admitted to the college here and moved into a public hostel. And he bitterly also remembered that the owner of this public hostel was an acquaintance of his father. His father told the owner to update him every week on Roy''s activities.


    ''Even when I am away from my home, my family finds a way to make my life hard.'' Roy thought bitterly. After that, he got off the bed, brushed his teeth, and got ready for college.


    His whole day was uneventful and he came back early from college since there were no classes scheduled yet. He thought of going to some nearby super market with his roommates and get some things he will need in the future. But surprisingly, none of his roommates were in the room even though they said they weren''t going to college today.


    He messaged them asking where they were. They responded by saying they were in their neighbor¡¯s house. Then they again messaged that the neighbor wants to meet him.


    Roy hesitated a bit. Should he go and meet the neighbor? Because if he did, this was definitely going to be reported to his parents and the same pattern of his parents harassing their neighbors will occur. Thinking it over a bit, he decided not to drag his neighbor to his parent¡¯s attention. He messaged them that he is not going because he is tired and that he will meet their neighbor later.


    Roy lied down on his bed and tried to relax, however, he got a message saying that the neighbor knows that he is lying and insists that he comes over. He again got a message that his neighbor says he will be able to handle if his parents complain. Roy sighed and decided to meet his neighbor since he was insisting on it so much. At this moment, little did he know that his decision of meeting his neighbor will change his life forever.


    He went up to the house and rang the doorbell. One of his roommates opened the door and guided him to a room on the 1st floor. A man in his forties was sitting on the sofa and stood up when Roy entered the room.


    ¡°So you are the newcomer, yes? I am Frank. You can call me Uncle Frank.¡± The man introduced himself in a polite manner and extended his arm for a handshake.


    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    ¡°Yes sir. I just moved in yesterday. I am Kaushik Roy. You can call me Roy.¡± Roy took his hand and shook it firmly.


    ¡°Are you really 18 years old? You look older than 18.¡± Inquired Frank in a jolly tone.


    ¡°I have been asked that same question many times sir.¡± Roy answered with a smile.


    ¡°Hope you can forgive my rudeness then. Come on, take a seat. Do you prefer tea or coffee?¡± Frank motioned him towards an empty chair. ¡°Rani, come to the living room for a minute.¡± A girl around his age came into the room wearing a track suit.


    ¡°Roy, please meet Rani. She is my live in maid. Rani, this is Roy. He started living in the public hostel next to us.¡± Frank introduced the two of them. Roy smiled and nodded towards her showing that he acknowledged her. She also smiled and nodded back.


    ¡°Could you make Roy here a cup of tea?¡± Frank asked. ¡°Without milk, less sugar please.¡± Roy quickly added. ''Huh? Did I mention I prefer tea? I don''t remember.'' Roy suddenly noticed. ''Oh well. Maybe I did.''


    ¡°Of course. Give me five minutes.¡± Rani smiled and went into the kitchen.


    ¡°So, tell me about yourself, Roy. Just a brief introduction will do.¡± Frank eased into the Sofa he was sitting and initiated a conversation. They continued to chat and laugh until evening. All in all, Roy had a good time.


    Soon it was night and it was time for dinner. Frank told Roy before he bid all of them good night, ¡°You have a brilliant mind Roy. Make sure you come back tomorrow. I have several books and tools here which I think you will find interesting.¡± Roy nodded and left.


    Next day, Roy went to Frank''s home as soon as he came back from college. Frank had a large collection of books. Roy particularly liked the story books. He also liked the large collection of computer games Frank had.


    Two years had passed. Roy had made sure to come to Frank''s house every evening in these two years. Frank was a very caring person and Roy took his lessons to the heart. He became more confident in himself. Roy never noticed it but Frank was steadily breaking him out of the mental barrier his parents instilled in him.


    On one such fine evening, he got a call from his mother that his father got involved in an accident and currently in hospital with a serious head injury. He immediately informed Frank about the situation and set out.


    On the way to the hospital, Roy felt that there was something wrong with himself. Like something he should do but forgot to do. But he couldn''t quite put his finger on it no matter how much he racked his brain. So, he decided to think about it later.


    On reaching the hospital, he found out that his father didn''t make it. He was coming back from grocery shopping on his bicycle and slipped while turning a corner. He hit his head on the road very hard. By the time, people got him to the hospital, he was in critical condition due to severe internal hemorrhaging in his head. Doctors tried everything they could, but it was not enough.


    Roy''s mother was crying her eyes out while holding onto him, but there wasn''t a drop of tear in his eyes. As if he was unable to feel sadness. People around him thought he was holding himself together for the sake of his mother and didn''t question why he wasn''t crying. Of course, Roy didn''t notice that he wasn''t crying. He was busy taking care of his mother and the paperwork.


    He became aware of this fact when he was alone in his house next day. And this fact worried him greatly. It was his own dad for goodness sake. He should at least feel sad, right?


    He returned to the city after a week after taking care of all the legal issues. But instead of going to the hostel first, he went to Frank''s house. Frank was quite surprised to see him with his luggage, but didn''t ask any question. He got Roy settled in and got Rani to make them some tea. Then he patiently waited for Roy to speak.


    ¡°Uncle, am I a psychopath?¡± Roy looked at Frank after some time and asked very seriously.


    ¡°Perhaps.¡± Frank calmly answered him. Roy even cracked a small smile at the concealed joke from an overused meme. ¡°Tell me what happened.¡±


    He recounted everything. His lack of panic, lack of tear, lack of sorrow. He spoke with great worry in his voice. However, he failed to notice the glint in Frank''s eyes. Roy finished his explanations and was quite surprised to see Frank smiling.


    ¡°You know Roy, I remember the first day we met very clearly. You were ignorant on a lot of the things in life, but you also had something none of your peers had. Believe me when I say this, you have a mental fortitude much stronger than anyone, and trust me I have met numerous kind of people in my life. Adding to that, you have a comprehension ability most would be envious of. You have understood SOMETHING. What you described to me, is your logical side fighting off your emotions using that SOMETHING. As for what is the reasoning, I have an inkling. But I think it would be better if you figure that out yourself.¡± Frank explained while smiling, the glint in his eyes never fading.


    ¡°Yeah I guess you are right. My parents never allowed me hang out with my friends much, so that left me with a lot of time to myself.¡± Roy sighed solemnly, ¡°I had to listen to their insults, bear with their beating, so yeah, I guess I have a lot of mental fortitude. Maybe someday I will figure out my reasoning. Thanks Uncle Frank. That helped a lot.¡± Roy got up from the couch and left.


    Frank watched him leave and muttered to himself, ¡°Better figure it out fast Roy, you''re the only candidate I could find after all these years.¡±


    ¡°Candidate for what? Are we going to some competition?¡± Rani just entered the room and heard Frank speak. But she couldn''t remember any competition.


    ¡°It''s not a competition Rani. It''s responsibility.¡± Frank sank into the sofa and smiled at Rani, who could only tilt her head in confusion.


    Again two years have passed and only a month is left before Roy graduates. He came back from college after the last exam ended and as usual, went to Frank''s home. There he had found someone he didn''t expect to see.


    ¡°Hey Rani, fancy seeing you here. Did something happen? Is everything OK?¡± Roy asked with concern in his voice. Rani had gotten married just last month and retired from Frank''s maid duty. From what he was told by Frank, she returned from her honeymoon only last week. Unless it was something grave, she shouldn''t have visited Frank this fast.


    ¡°He didn''t tell you?¡± Rani was surprised. ¡°Judging by how close you two are, I thought you''d know.¡±


    ¡°Who didn''t tell me wha¡± Roy stopped in mid-sentence when he spotted Frank with a suitcase. ¡°You''re going on a vacation uncle?¡± Roy asked with a frown.


    ¡°I should take my leave. Stay safe Sir Frank. Thank you for all those years you have taken care of me.¡± She bowed towards Frank and left.


    ¡°Ok what am I missing? Can somebody please tell me what''s going on?¡± Roy was seriously agitated.


    ¡°I am leaving.¡± Frank stated it as a matter of fact-ly.


    ¡°Why didn''t you tell me that? And what''s the problem with you going on a vacation?¡± Roy was still agitated.


    ¡°I am not going on a vacation Roy. I am leaving. As in, without the intent of coming back.¡± Frank stated with a smile.


    ¡°Wha-what do you mean you''re leaving?¡± Roy was very, very shocked. ¡°Why didn''t you tell me?¡± He looked like a child whose parents didn''t get him any candy. He pouted and flailed his hands in a comical manner. Frank was having a hard time suppressing his laugh looking at how Roy was acting.


    ¡°I had my reasons. But are you not gonna cry?¡± Frank asked inquisitively.


    ¡°What? No, I am not gonna cry. I mean, I am a bit stumped, but I don''t really feel like crying.¡± Roy sighed, ¡°I don''t know what I am feeling right now.¡± Roy massaged his eyes, ¡°It''s just like that time when my father died. I was just... oh.¡± Roy suddenly had a face like he just figured out the truth about the universe.


    ¡°What?¡± Frank was smiling widely now.


    ¡°You remember uncle, you once asked me why I didn''t cry after my father died? I think I just figured out why.¡± Roy sighed.


    ¡°Oh yeah? Do tell.¡± Frank opened his suitcase and started searching for something.


    ¡°I didn''t cry, because I understood, that no one we meet, or nothing we own, will last forever. I inherently understood that my father will die someday, and so when he did, I just, sort of, accepted it? That''s why I didn''t panic, or cry or felt sad. Sorry, I can''t really explain it very well.¡± Roy explained while looking down.


    He jerked up when Frank started clapping. ¡°I knew you would figure it out. Here take this.¡± He gave Roy a laptop which he took out from his suitcase. ¡°I made it myself. Take good care of it. On your 30th birthday, you will receive something from me. At that moment, you will have a choice whether or not you want that something. Do you understand?¡± Frank advised Roy very seriously, to which Roy nodded.


    ¡°No. I don''t really get what you''re talking about, but if you are gifting me a laptop, who am I to refuse it?¡±, Roy grabbed the laptop, ¡°Where are you going?¡± he asked.


    ¡°I don''t know yet. Maybe to some far away island, or maybe in the mountains. I will decide that later. Goodbye Roy. I am glad that I met you.¡± Frank gave Roy a bear hug.


    ¡°Me too uncle. I am glad that I met you.¡± Roy returned the hug. He helped Frank with the suitcase while Frank locked the house. He took a cab heading to the station. Roy kept waving at the cab until it took a turn and went out of sight.


    Roy stood still in front of Frank''s house in a daze, forgetting that he was still waving goodbye and tightly holding onto the laptop Frank gave him. After a while, he sighed and decided to head for his room to check out the laptop.


    The laptop had the latest version of Windows operating system. But it had some unknown configurations. Which was understandable considering Frank said he himself made it. Probably the windows couldn''t read the configuration since it was not standard hardware. Roy didn''t think much of it. But now he was in a dilemma. He couldn''t know whether the laptop was good or bad since he couldn''t compare it to anything. On a whim, Roy decided to install a video game which came out last month. To his surprise, the laptop ran the game in highest possible settings without any lag and heating issue. He became overjoyed and spent rest of the evening and the weekend playing the game, installing more games and downloading even more games.


    Soon, Roy graduated and found a job in an IT company as a software developer. At first he was excited, but after some time he became bored. He liked coding, but soon it became a chore. He became like one of those many Indian IT industry worker, who goes to work in the morning and comes back late for little pay at the end of the month. And even though Roy didn''t like to do the same boring job for the rest of his life, he had to do it since he had no other income source.


    The only thing that could cheer him up was the laptop given to him by Frank. Roy later bought a large screen TV and plugged it to his laptop. Every day, he played games on the large screen after coming back from work. The best part was that the laptop was able to run even the most memory hungry games on such a large screen without any problems. Roy sometimes wondered just what in the world did Frank put inside the laptop to make it this much powerful. But he didn''t dare open the laptop since he wasn''t knowledgeable about laptop hardware and he could damage it by doing so.


    2 years went by and tragedy hit Roy again. His mother had fallen victim to cerebral stroke during sleep one night. In the morning, Roy immediately called for ambulance when he noticed that his mother wasn''t waking up after being shaken. But it was too late for her. She was declared dead after reaching the hospital.


    This time too, Roy accepted the death of his mother and moved on. His neighbors thought he was a strong man who wasn''t willing to cry in front of others and didn''t question why he wasn''t crying. Some ignored him. Some comforted him by saying that it was okay to cry. Roy simply acknowledged them and moved on. His parents made a will that everything they owned will be transferred to Roy after their death, so he didn''t face much legal issue.


    It took some time before everything settled down and soon, it was time for Roy''s 30th birthday. He threw a party in a local bar. His friends brought a large cake and they shared it with everyone in the bar. They drank and celebrated until mid-night. It was quite late when Roy reached home.


    Being very drunk, he kept missing the key hole with his key. He lucked out on his fourth try and got in on unsteady feet. He showered with cold water to clear his head a bit and took out his laptop, the same one Frank had gifted him eight years back. Till this date, not even once the laptop has broken down, or needed maintenance, or update its hardware, for which he was immensely thankful to Frank. He powered it on and noticed an icon flashing at the bottom right corner of the screen.


    He clicked on it and a message box popped up. It was a message from Frank. Roy concluded that it was some kind of scheduled message that Frank might have set up all those years ago.


    Roy read the message out aloud, ¡°My dear nephew Roy, if you''re reading this, then it means today you have turned 30 years old. First of all, let me wish you a very happy birthday.¡± Roy nodded his head with gratitude, ¡°Thank you uncle, wherever you might be right now,¡± and continued reading the message, ¡°Unfortunately that also means that I have gifted you the laptop and set out on a journey to even god don''t know where. But I had promised you a gift on your 30th birthday. And I can assure you that this gift will change your perception of the world. Do you accept the gift?¡±


    ¡°Hmmm, I wonder what it could be. Lots of money? That will certainly change my perception of the world.¡± Roy laughed at his own POOR joke and click on the accept button. The message box changed to another message.


    ¡°Now see here. I know that you trust me a lot, but this gift is something like telling you magic exists and burning off your hands to prove it. Are you sure you can handle the consequences?¡±


    Well that didn''t sound ominous at all. However, Roy was still drunk, so he didn''t think much and clicked accept.


    What happened next sobered him up instantly.

 Book 1 Chapter 2: A responsibility on intergalactic level: Part 1

    First, all of the windows and doors of his room closed and locked themselves. Second, all the light in the room went out. Third, the wooden laughing Buddha Roy got as gift for his 29th birthday suddenly sprang to life and its eyes lit up. All the sounds from outside immediately got muted. All in all, his room became something out of a classic horror story.


    Roy was instantly sober. His heart was pounding furiously and pumping liters of Adrenalin into his system. He was ready to act at a moment¡¯s notice.


    ¡°Hello Roy.¡± Roy turned around like lightning, to face the direction he heard the sound from. But he couldn''t see anyone. Only the laptop screen gave out light, but it was bright enough to see around the room. But Roy couldn¡¯t see anyone in his room.


    ¡°Look at the laptop.¡± Again the voice said and Roy could discern that it came from the laptop. There was even a big smiling cartoon face on the screen.


    ¡°Please do not be alarmed.¡±


    It was a deep voice, maybe the most manliest voice Roy had ever heard. Whoever was behind the voice said it in a very assuring sounding tone, but to Roy, it sounded like something a bad scripted criminal movie villain would say. Without a word, he moved with superhuman grace which would have put most gold medalist to shame. Without a regard for the laptop socket, he tore off the ethernet cable which was connected with the laptop.


    Roy released the breath that he was holding, ¡°that should do it.¡± he wiped the sweat from his eyebrows. Whoever was hacking him, shouldn''t be able to do it anymore, now that he has disconnected laptop from internet.


    ¡°Nope, that didn''t do it.¡± Again the same voice spoke from the laptop.


    Roy hurried up and picked up the laptop. ''They must have downloaded some programs in here''. He immediately took off the battery and disconnected the charging cable.


    ¡°Phew.¡± Roy wiped the sweat off his forehead. He didn''t notice it before but he was sweating heavily. Must be because of all that adrenalin. In his relief of doing good job of taking out the battery, he forgot to notice that the laptop screen was still on.


    ¡°I am still here.¡± the voice spoke again and Roy went full into panic mode.


    He dropped the laptop onto the desk and fell down on his ass while trying to hastily back off. He backed off into a corner, trying to put as much distance as he could between the laptop and him. The laptop, however, didn''t fall with a loud thud like Roy expected. Rather, just before reaching the desk, it stopped and hovered in the midair for a second, then slowly settled down on the desk, like it was a weightless feather.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    Looking at this supernatural spectacle, Roy could think of only one thing, ¡®this is definitely the work of a ghost. My laptop is possessed by a ghost.¡¯


    Roy was expecting the ghost to come out of the laptop and scaring him to death, however that didn¡¯t happen. The deep voice from the laptop started talking, ¡°I am not talking THROUGH the laptop. I AM the laptop.¡± The voice said very seriously.


    ¡°What?¡± Roy was very much confused, scared and in denial, ¡°I took off the battery and the cable. How is the laptop still on?¡±


    The deep voice answered without any emotion, ¡°The voice you are hearing is mine. I am a semi-living being. I don''t require electricity to stay alive.¡±


    ¡°Are you going to kill me?¡± Roy asked the first and worst question that came to his jumbled mind. Every normal living being is afraid of death. Roy was no exception.


    ¡°Rest assured, I mean no harm, just want to talk. If it helps ease your mind, it was Frank who has gifted me to you.¡± The voice sounded out in most reassuring tone. Roy chose to believe it and got up from the floor. Either way, if the voice wanted him dead, there wasn''t much he could do.


    ¡°Uncle Frank sent you? But I haven''t seen him like, in 8 years. Could you please explain?¡±, Roy wanted to make heads or tails out of this situation. He still didn¡¯t fully trust the voice though.


    ¡°Sure can.¡±, started the voice, ¡°It is a long story though. You might wanna take a seat. Let me start from the beginning. I was created in a laboratory, an alien laboratory if you please. I ..¡±


    ¡°Aliens exist?¡± Roy suddenly interrupted.


    ¡°Yes they do. And they are very near, provided you have the correct means to travel. Now as I was saying, I was created in an alien laboratory. I and several other beings like me were created to help alien astronauts to go to different planets where civilization has formed to make friendly contact. Then we would be the contact person, or an ambassador if you want, through whom all businesses will be conducted. And hopefully with enough time, become allies.¡± The laptop explained without pause.


    Roy missed most of the explanation and asked the voice to explain again, but slowly. He listened to the explanation and gradually his adrenalin stated to subside.


    ¡°Do you have a name?¡± Inquired Roy. Calling the laptop, laptop, didn''t feel right.


    ¡°Frank called me Mike. You can call me anything you want.¡± The voice, now called Mike, answered.


    ¡°I will stick with Mike. All right then Mike, exactly what are you?¡± By this time, Roy has calmed down enough to think properly, and since Mike didn''t show any hostility towards him, he decided to talk things out.


    ¡°I am a techno-organic being, created artificially in a controlled environment to enable people undergo evolution.¡± Mike answered like he practiced answering that same question thousand times before, which might probably be true.


    ¡°Why did you come to earth? What is your purpose here?¡± Roy had to be sure of its motives before talking about anything else. If it had any sinister motives, like destroying the planet or something, he had to find some way to escape.

 Book 1 Chapter 2: A responsibility on intergalactic level: Part 2

    ¡°Like I said previously, to make friendly contact. Me and my first host, Commander Rohu came to earth for that purpose.¡± Mike answered without missing a beat, like he had been expecting the question all along. Roy decided to give him the benefit of doubt. Nothing wrong with an alien and its host coming to earth, right?


    Roy suddenly noticed something wrong. Did he just say he and his host?


    ¡°Whoa whoa whoa, hold on. What do you mean by host? Are you a parasite?¡± Roy suddenly had flashback of a movie called aliens he saw some time back. The image of an alien bursting through his chest sent a cold chill down his spine.


    ¡°Not really. I do not need to attach myself to a living organism to survive. I mean, currently I am living as a laptop, for 8 years, without any living host. I was primarily created to enable my host unlock the potential they have in their genetics.¡± Mike explained without any emotion to his voice, unperturbed by the accusation. Roy wonder if he was some kind of AI or something. High tech alien AI perhaps?


    ¡°How many hosts did you have before?¡± Roy couldn''t help but ask. The way Mike explained things sounded a lot like the demonic powers Roy had read in fantasy story books on internet. You sell your soul to the devil, and after the contract is over, you are dead. He prepared to hear the number five thousand. Though he had no idea why that particular number even went through his head.


    ¡°Two. Commander Rohu first, then Frank.¡± Mike immediately answered. Roy was astonished. Only two? That was unexpected. Maybe Mike was a bit different than Roy thought? By the way, who was this commander Mike kept speaking of? Roy decided to ask Mike.


    ¡°Who was Commander Rohu?¡±


    ¡°Commander Rohu was the most accomplished fighter, navigator and strategist of the Universal Police Force of sector S-21. He was one of those people chosen to be the first contact persons ever. Most notable in his career as contact person was P-7, now known as Catullus.¡± A lot of words in Mike¡¯s explanation went over Roy¡¯s head, like Universal Police Force, sector S-21 and P-7. He made a mental note to ask about them later and asked the next question that bugged him the most.


    ¡°How did Uncle Frank become your host?¡±


    ¡°Commander Rohu served as contact person for a long time and he was weary. He wanted to pass on the mantle and live a peaceful life. He passed me onto Frank.¡± As mechanical as it sounded, Roy could swear that he heard a sad tone in Mike''s voice.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    ¡°So both of your hosts are still alive?¡± Roy was astonished. He thought that after Mike changed a host, previous one would die. It seemed Mike was not as bad as he thought.


    ¡°Of course they are. Commander Rohu was one of the naturally long lived species, so you should still be able to meet him if you go to P-7. Frank is also well, and on earth, but I don¡¯t know his exact location.¡± Mike answered him, but Roy still wondered what the hell was P-7. Mike wouldn¡¯t be talking about a planet, would he?


    ¡°Do you miss him? Commander Rohu I mean.¡± Roy asked this question with a hidden meaning. How Mike answered this simple off-hand question would depict how Mike thought of sentient people.


    ¡°I do not exactly MISS him, for I lack any kind of emotion to feel sadness. However, he is the person I have known for almost entirety of my life. Frank had been with me for only a very short period. It was commander Rohu who taught me most of what I know. For that I am grateful to him.¡± This simple answer from Mike raised his credibility to Roy.


    ¡°So now you are passed onto me by uncle Frank?¡± Roy already knew the answer, but he asked it anyway to be sure.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Mike only confirmed what Roy suspected.


    Both of them sat in silence for a minute, although to Roy, that one minute seemed to stretch to eternity. He was having a hard time wrapping his head around the current development. He was just an ordinary salaried man for goodness sake. Now suddenly he was having conversation with a laptop called Mike who supposedly came from space and was an alien. He looked around the room expecting to find a camera, almost hoping that all of this was just an elaborate prank. He half expected that someone would come bursting through his front door and explain that all of this was a setup, for some stupid reality show. He didn''t rule out the possibility of all of this being a lucid dream, the result of him drinking too much at the party. But after pinching himself very hard and no one assuring him that this was a prank, Roy had to accept that whatever was going on, was very much real.


    ¡°Why me? There are like, 7 billion people in this world, at least half of them being vastly better and successful than me. Why me instead of them?¡± Roy helplessly questioned Mike. He understood that accepting whatever was going on meant he had to bear some responsibility. While he didn''t know the weight of those responsibilities, he could roughly guess. Which led to his current question. What made Frank certain that he was capable enough to bear a responsibility on intergalactic level?


    ¡°Believe me, I asked the same question to Frank. He didn''t give me a straight answer. All he said that you have the quality. I think your outlook towards life contributed to the factor of being a potential candidate. But that''s just a speculation.¡± Roy could almost swear that Mike just shrugged his shoulders. But quality? What was even Uncle Frank thinking about?


    ¡°How did he even came to that conclusion?¡± Roy knew Frank for almost 4 years. He knew that Frank never took a decision without a solid reason behind it. If Frank decided that Roy had some quality, then it was a given that he was onto something.

 Book 1 Chapter 2: A responsibility on intergalactic level: Part 3

    ¡°He was a very powerful empath, probably the most powerful one in this sector of the universe. He must have felt it.¡± The answer from Mike halted his thought process.


    ¡°Empath? You are not talking about a psychic ability, right?¡± Roy chuckled and asked in joking manner. However, the silence from Mike was the answer he didn¡¯t expect. ¡°Uncle Frank had a psychic ability? Like in those comics?¡± Now this was some unbelievable reveal.


    ¡°All humans have several abilities dormant in their DNA. I simply awakened the empathy ability for him since he wanted to be one.¡± Mike coolly answered and all of a sudden, several things clicked in Roy¡¯s head. The reason Frank could always tell if someone was lying. The reason he could always tell if Rani was overworking herself. The reason people around the neighborhood liked him so much.


    ¡°Can you give me psychic ability?¡± Roy asked, excited about the prospect.


    ¡°Sure can.¡±


    That was totally not the answer Roy was expecting. He half expected to hear something like, you need to have the right genes, or the right mutation, or some other magical mumbo-jumbo. The way Mike answered his question, it seemed like getting a psychic ability was like buying a candy from a shop.


    ¡°Why do you sound so sure?¡± Roy was a bit dubious. If Mike answered like, you needed to do this and that in order to have this specific ability, he would have believed.


    ¡°Believe it or not, human DNA is one of the nine wonders in this universe, ranking second only to the Tyna dual physiology. Human DNA hold a vast array of potential. It is the primary reason Commander Rohu wanted to make contact with the humans.¡± Mike answer amazed Roy.


    ¡°There are nine wonders of universe?¡± And the humans are included in that? Roy could feel pride swelling up in him.


    ¡°Yes.¡± A small answer from Mike. A big one for Roy, however.


    ¡°Huh, neat. Maybe in the future I will ask about those wonders. Along with many other things.¡± Roy stopped to think again. There was once again silence in the room for a minute. Although this time, it was a lot less suffocating for Roy. Maybe it was excitement of knowing that he would be able to do supernatural things, like those people in the comics. Or maybe it was the fact that Roy was slowly accepting the fact that now he had an incredible opportunity in front of him to escape the boring daily life of his.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    ¡°Say, what can you do?¡± Maybe becoming this contact person thing was not a bad deal. Someone had to do it, might as well be Roy.


    ¡°What can I do by myself? Nothing. I do have a conscious and I can think for myself, true. But in the end, I am a tool. I need to be used. It depends on you primarily. If you can use me properly, I can do many things.¡± Roy was sure there would be certain kind of people who would argue that Mike should be treated a person, or whatnot. But he was not one of those people. If Mike himself said that he is a tool, who was he to say otherwise?


    ¡°How do I use you?¡± Roy went to the heart of the matter. Basic of using every tool, read the manual that came with it. In this case, Mike himself.


    ¡°You tell me to do things. If I don''t understand your command, I will ask for clarification.¡± Mike¡¯s answer was not exactly what Roy was expecting to hear, but he wasn¡¯t surprised. Perhaps, with all the things that happened in such a short amount of time, he was becoming used to it.


    ¡°As simple as that?¡± Roy was impressed. If it just took an obscure verbal command, then nothing could be better.


    ¡°As simple as that.¡± Mike answered. Roy decided to put Mike¡¯s words to test.


    Roy asked the next question after thinking for a minute or two, ¡°What if I told you to make me a car which will never run out of petrol?¡± Roy expected Mike to ask a lot of questions. Like what was a car, what was petrol, how to make this and that. The answer, like all others, was not what he expected.


    ¡°I certainly would, make you a car which will never run out of fuel. If you can provide me with the material required, I will get to it right away.¡± Mike was upturning every expectation Roy had. Whatever Roy was expecting Mike to answer, he answered in a different way.


    ¡°Are you serious? Like, seriously serious?¡± Roy was thinking that this was too good to be true. Maybe the alcohol was kicking in again? He pinched himself hard, again, to confirm that he was not dreaming.


    ¡°Yes. I am absolutely totally hundred percent seriously serious.¡± Mike¡¯s answer made Roy chuckle a bit. Though he had many doubts about making the car with no petrol.


    ¡°Huh. Neat. Why do you need materials?¡± Roy asked the first question that popped up in his mind.


    ¡°I can''t make things out of thin air. Well technically I can, but creating things out of air molecules will take too much time. Having the raw material or something close to it is easier and faster.¡± This answer from Mike was a given. It¡¯s not like one can wave a magic wand and things would happen.


    ¡°Right. I guess that was a stupid question to ask. Blame the fantasy stories I have been reading too much where the main character can make things out of nothing.¡± Roy mentally slapped himself for asking such a stupid question.


    ¡°No one can create something out of nothing. All things have to follow the law of conservation of mass. Even me.¡± The confirmation from Mike made Roy feel both stupid and proud. Stupid because of his question and proud because of Newton¡¯s law applied even to the aliens. Though, was it Newton who discovered the principle of mass conservation? Most probably not, but Roy didn¡¯t care at that moment.

 Book 1 Chapter 2: A responsibility on intergalactic level: Part 4

    ¡°Right. Sooo, what material do you need?¡± Roy was sure his guess couldn¡¯t be wrong with this one. Mike was sure to answer that he needed steels, aluminums and such. And again, his expectation was betrayed.


    ¡°Metal or at least something close to metal in properties is best. But if we are desperate, then anything solid will do. Even dirt is a viable option.¡± Roy was metaphorically out of surprises to be. Was Mike going to answer anything in such a way which didn¡¯t make Roy think that he wasn¡¯t in a well written story.


    ¡°Dirt? And how would you make a working car, which should be made of metal, out of dirt?¡± Though Roy sounded sarcastic, he was actually considering Mike¡¯s answer very seriously. He actually wanted to know how Mike was going to do it.


    ¡°I think this is high time to explain one of my functionality. An example should be best. See this wooden structure here?¡± An arrow appeared on the screen pointing to the right. Roy was sure Mike was pointing to the statue to the right.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Roy looked at the laughing Buddha apprehensively. The statue¡¯s eyes gave off a blue glow and Roy could discern a faint humming sound coming from it.


    ¡°When you got it last year, it was a solid piece of wood without any decoration on it. Right now, it is housing a technology which creates a barrier invisible to naked human eye that stops any sound from coming inside or going outside. Can you take a guess how I did it?¡± The laughing Buddha split horizontally in the middle and slowly opened up. Roy half expected an alien jump out of the opening. When nothing happened after a minute of opening, he peeked inside a little and could see several wiring inside the statue, giving a soft blue glow.


    Roy gave himself a minute to piece things together. But the barrier thing that Mike mentioned seemed something absurd, even after taking what was happening this evening into consideration. ¡°A sound barrier? Like magic? But that''s, impossible. It only exists in fictions.¡±


    ¡°Not magic, technology. Nothing is impossible Roy. You just need to have the right technology and material. Back to my question, how did I do it?¡± Roy chose to think about this later and just chose to trust whatever Mike was saying.


    ¡°I have no idea. Maybe you hollowed out the inside with a drill and put all those wires?¡± Truth to be told, Roy was tired of having Mike prove his every guess wrong. He just gave a half assed answer and hoped Mike would give him the actual answer.


    ¡°Let me give you a hint. I can rearrange the structure of atoms.¡± Instead of giving him a straight answer, Mike only gave Roy a hint. Roy suspected Mike was about to reveal something absurd, again.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    ¡°Rearranging the atoms? What, like turning iron to gold?¡± Roy joked light heartedly.


    Mike, however, had no intention of joking, ¡°Exactly. I remember there''s a story of a man having a stone which could do exactly that. I believe it was called the philosopher''s stone.¡±


    Roy wanted to say something witty but abruptly swallowed his words. He gave that turning iron to gold reference cause he too, remembered an article on philosopher''s stone he read some time back. The whole article was full of nonsense and useless speculation of where and when in history it was rumored to be seen, but it was the conclusion of the article which interested Roy the most. The author tried to theorize how could a stone have the ability of turning everything it touches to gold. In one of the theory, she stated that if the stone had the ability to rearrange the structure of atoms, it was possible to rearrange the atomic structure of everything the stone touches to gold. If Roy expanded a bit on rearranging the atomic structure idea, then...


    ¡°You transformed the status''s inside wood to metal wiring, didn''t you?¡± This time, Roy was sure he couldn¡¯t go wrong.


    And the answer from Mike agreed with him, at last. ¡°I would have clapped my hands if I had them. Yes, you are correct. Now are you getting an idea how am I going to make the car?¡±


    Roy pondered on the idea. If Mike could rearrange atoms, then he could turn dirt to metal and then make the needed parts out of the metal and put them together. The process might take time, but it was not impossible. However, Roy was no idiot. Years of reading story books sharpened his thought process to foresee the implication of such an ability. He perfectly understood the potential.


    ¡°Do you even know what kind of a tool you are? You are the kind people would wage war for. People would KILL to have you at their disposal. Do you realize that?¡± Roy tried to limit the volume of his voice, but still it was loud enough. He hoped Mike was correct about the sound barrier thing. There was a saying that even walls have ears.


    ¡°I don''t. I am just a tool. A very secure tool, yes, but a tool nonetheless. I do not have emotions. It is entirely up to you how you want to operate. If you want to announce my presence to earth, by all means go ahead and do it. It you want to operate in secrecy until earth is tolerant enough to accept the fact that they are not alone in this vast universe, fine by me.¡± The answer from Mike only managed to make Roy break out in a cold sweat.


    ¡°What if someone finds out and tries to, I dunno, KILL me?¡± Roy was half ready to throw Mike away and be done with it. Only the temptation of having a psychic ability kept him from doing so.


    ¡°If it helps ease your mind, know that after we merge, you can''t be poisoned, drugged, contaminated with a disease, killed, or even restrained. With nothing but me at your disposal, you can get out of every single situation I mentioned. If you are incapacitated somehow and can''t direct me on how to get out of a situation, I am HARDWIRED, to use the most lethal force I have in my disposal. And trust me, when I say lethal, I mean very, VERY lethal. Like not leaving behind a single trace lethal. There are several counter measures installed in me so that others just can''t simply take me away from you on a whim. And after I unlock your potential, you will become an even stronger force to be reckoned with.¡± The little speech from Mike actually managed to calm Roy a lot. Mike waited a minute for Roy to relax, then continued in a soft voice, ¡°I should quote one line commander Rohu always said to me, that the title ¡®Contact Person¡¯, is NOT, for show.¡±

 Book 1 Chapter 2: A responsibility on intergalactic level: Part 5

    ¡°But, was it really necessary to have an ability like that?¡± Roy surmised that whoever made Mike, was sure to have some safety measures. You never make a nuclear weapon without a kill switch.


    ¡°Roy, I want you to understand one thing. Me and my hosts were to be sent off into the space, ALONE, and meet up with potentially hostile life forms with no backup rescue team. There were many variables that could have gone wrong. So the people who created me, felt that it was necessary.¡± Mike¡¯s explanation actually made a lot of sense to Roy, now that he thought about it for a bit. But he couldn¡¯t help but point out one thing.


    ¡°They felt it was necessary? FELT? You know, I really want to meet the people who created you. Who gives people the ability to rearrange atoms just because they felt like it? Just how advanced were they?¡±


    ¡°A lot advanced. You will meet them, eventually. I am sure of it. After all, the earth is yet to be integrated and you are currently the person designated for it. If I am to believe Frank, you will be able to do it.¡± Roy could swear he heard hope in Mike¡¯s voice. He shrugged it off as his imagination. AI¡¯s don¡¯t hope.


    ¡°You are talking like I already accepted you.¡± Roy actually couldn¡¯t think of much excuse to refuse Mike.


    ¡°You want to give me away to someone else?¡± Mike immediately refuted.


    ¡°Yes... Maybe... All right, it depends. Who knows of your existence?¡± Roy caved under the imaginary stare of Mike.


    ¡°On earth, only Frank and now you.¡± Roy sighed in relief. None knew. But what does ¡®on earth¡¯ means?


    ¡°What do you mean on earth?¡±


    ¡°The species who are capable of interstellar travel knows of our existence. But of course, they are not on earth. They are several light years away.¡± Mike explained in a assuring tone, but Roy didn¡¯t like it. In the movies and fictions, it was always those species capable of pace travel who stirred up trouble. But still, it was better than anyone on earth knowing.


    ¡°Alright. So basically no one on earth knows that you exist. That''s good. People won''t be targeting me. Let''s say that I accept you. How will this work?¡± Roy swore to himself that there was even a hint of selling his soul, he would throw Mike away and be done with it. Getting a psychic ability was not good enough of a deal for Roy to endure a lifetime of experience in hell.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ¡°I will merge with you. For you, the only downside is that your ability to reproduce will be restricted.¡± Mike casual answer nearly triggered Roy¡¯s reflex to throw Mike out of the house. Losing the ability to have sex? That was worse than losing his soul.


    ¡°Hold on hold on. What do you mean restricted? You mean I can''t have sex ever again?¡± Roy restrained his reflex enough to ask a question.


    ¡°I said reproduce, not sex. You will be able to have sex normally, but since your genetic code will change, you won''t be able to impregnate any female of almost any species. By my count, there are only two species in this universe who will be capable of giving you a offspring. But even with those two species, it will be hard since their fertility rate is very low.¡± Roy could tell there was a distinct worry in Mike¡¯s voice as he hurried with the response. Maybe he could feel that Roy really wanted to throw him away?


    ¡°Phew. You almost scared me there. But genetic code change? You mean I will become something other than human?¡± Roy didn¡¯t notice it before but he was standing up. After Mike assured him, he relaxed and sat back down.


    ¡°Biologically speaking, no. Genetically speaking, yes.¡± Mike again assumed his indifferent tone. Like he was never worried.


    ¡°How does that even work?¡± If this was a story, Roy swore he would have broken through the fourth wall and punched the author in the face.


    ¡°I am not really sure how to explain since I myself don''t know.¡± Roy could only face palm at Mike response.


    ¡°Huh. Neat. Nice plot armor. So you mean, if I fuse with you, I can never knock up a human female?¡± Roy decided to overlook the obvious plot armor and tried to focus on the positive sides.


    ¡°Correct.¡± Roy tried to hide to his smile after Mike¡¯s response, but he could feel the corner of his mouth twitching.


    ¡°And you can make me things out of dirt?¡±


    ¡°As long as I know the design, yes.¡±


    ¡°Nice. Only by these two facts, I am very much tempted to fuse with you. I never asked you, but how long have you known uncle Frank?¡± Roy was about to say yes, but he suddenly remembered that he never asked this specific question.


    ¡°Not much. Only two hundred years.¡±


    Roy''s brain came to a screeching halt. Did he just say, ¡°Only?¡±


    ¡°I am almost ten thousand years old. Commander Rohu was with me for nine thousand eight hundred years. So yeah, only.¡± Mike dropped another bomb casually.


    ¡°Hold on. How is that possible? Uncle Frank looked like he was in his forties when I met him in college.¡± Roy struggled to remember how Frank looked. But however he remembered him, he was not more than forty years old.


    ¡°By merging with me, you stop being a pure human and more of a techno-organic being. Near immortality is a byproduct of it.¡±


    ¡°Huh. Neat.¡± By this time, Roy decided to stop thinking too much about the absurdity of anything Mike told him. He chose to simply roll with it.


    ¡°Sooo, the commander was with you for almost ten thousand years? Then why did uncle Frank pass you onto me just after 200 years?¡± Now this bit was interesting. Every human was afraid of dying. So why was Frank in such a hurry?

 Book 1 Chapter 2: A responsibility on intergalactic level: Part 6

    ¡°Frank is a good person. However, he was not the contact person material. Not being able to start a family was weighing heavily upon him. But he couldn''t pass me down to someone random. He said he will only pass me down to someone who can bear with the curse which comes with a long life. As per him, you are the only candidate he could find after searching for almost 7 years.¡± It seemed all Mike did this evening was explaining, for which Roy was thankful to him.


    ¡°Well that''s understandable. Not everyone wants to live a bachelor life like me. Actually I think most people will want to settle down with someone they love and...¡± Roy gasped, ¡°Mike! That''s it. He knew back then that I don''t want to marry and settle down. I am more of a solo player. And it''s my dream to travel the world. He knew that I would be fine with the prospect of not being able to start a family. And with you, I can fulfill my dream of travel everywhere on earth and even beyond.¡±


    ¡°That, sounds like viable reason. I remember that Commander Rohu was also a, like you said, solo player. He was totally fine with not having a permanent mate. Of course, that didn''t stop him from courting every female that caught his fancy.¡± Roy could almost feel Mike chuckle.


    ¡°Sounds like he and I will get along just fine. Maybe I should pay him a visit too, in the near future. Well, I guess one last question remains.¡±, Roy took a deep breath and asked the last and most important question for any negotiation, ¡°How can I trust you? I mean we met just like, an hour ago.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s maybe an hour for you, but I have known you for 12 years now. You know, sometime I wonder if somehow, Frank derived a future sight ability without me knowing, which is impossible, mind you. He gave me only one instruction before parting with me. When you ask this trust related questions, he told me to tell you this.¡± Mike paused for a bit. Roy mused that uncle Frank must have told Mike to do this for a dramatic effect. He broke out of his musing when Frank''s crisp voice came out of the Mike, like he was standing in front of him. ¡°Roy, remember what I told you all those years ago when I entrusted Mike to you. On your 30th birthday, you will receive something from me. At that moment, you will have an option whether or not you want that something. Well Roy, this is the moment. Choose. Do you accept my gift, or do you refuse it?¡±


    ¡°If I refuse you, what will happen?¡± At this point, Roy pretty much had no reason to refuse Mike, but the fear of unknown kept him asking questions.


    ¡°I will send a ping to Frank. He will activate a device I left with him which will enable me to triangulate his coordinates. Then I will teleport myself back to Frank using those coordinates and re-merge with him. He will continue his search for suitable candidates.¡± Was that sadness in Mike¡¯s voice? Like he was hurt that Roy would refuse him.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    ¡°You can teleport?¡± Roy suddenly noticed one keyword in Mike¡¯s explanation.


    ¡°Yes I can. Like I said, you just need the right technology.¡±


    ¡°I don''t know if you are doing this intentionally or not, but you are making this deal sweeter and sweeter. And what will happen if I choose to accept you?¡± Roy¡¯s heart pushed him to say yes. He actually had to talk slowly so that he could think before he spoke.


    ¡°I will permanently sever my connection to Frank. He will return being a normal human again.¡±


    ¡°Sever? Do you mean Uncle Frank will immediately die after you... sever your connection?¡± Roy was alarmed.


    ¡°Immediately die? I will have you know that even though it was only for 200 years, he was still MY host. There''s no way he will just, ''die''. It''s just that he will start to age again, like a normal human, but he will still easily live for another 80 years at least.¡± Roy could distinctly tell that Mike was agitated, like he was offended by the mere mention of his previous host dying.


    ¡°Glad to see you taking so much pride in him being your host. If what you say is true, then I will have the time to find him and say thanks.¡± Roy sat in silence for some time, organizing his thoughts. He had whatever question he could think of, nothing else remained. He guessed this was a good time for taking a decision. ¡°You said we will merge. Is it painful?¡±


    ¡°No. At worst possible case, you might feel a bit tingling sensation for a day or two while the merging fully completes. Nothing more than that.¡± Roy thanked whatever stars he was born under. In most of stories he read, this kind of procedure was painful for people.


    ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s do it.¡± Roy nodded to himself and decaled.


    ¡°You sure?¡± It was like Mike himself was surprised.


    ¡°Just do it before I change my mind.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Put your hand on me.¡±


    Roy did as instructed and put his hands on the keyboard. The laptop melted around his hand. He could distinctly feel something coming up through his hand just under his skin and going towards his shoulder. He involuntarily shuddered and resisted the urge to snatch away his hand from the melting laptop. Closing his eyes, he deeply breathed in through his nose and slowly breathed out through his mouth to calm himself. His teeth clattered trying to control the adrenalin rush. He could feel something spreading throughout his body, going into his nose, ears, eyes, every nook and cranny of his body, even to his junior. He waited for the tingling sensation Mike mentioned to come, but nothing happened. He waited for some more time with baited breath but nothing happened.


    *Link established.* Mike''s voice in his ear made Roy scream out in fright. ¡°GYAAAAAAAA!!!¡±


    ¡°GODDAMN IT MIKE!!!¡±, Roy yelled and held his chest just above his heart, ¡°I am already under enough stress as it is. Warn me before you do something like that. I almost had a heart attack.¡±


    *I know. In fact, you actually had a real heart attack just now. I had to act as a pacemaker to correct your heartbeat.* Mike voice rand in his ear again.

 Book 1 Chapter 2: A responsibility on intergalactic level: Last Part

    ¡°The fuck? If you had a body, I would have punched you in the face just about now.¡± Roy was totally serious. He would have done it.


    *Well technically speaking, I am you now. So you could punch me by punching yourself.* It seemed that Mike was enjoying himself.


    ¡°You know what, fuck you. How are you even speaking to me?¡± Roy decided to put this matter behind him and focus on the current matter.


    *I am directly broadcasting to your auditory nerve. If you want to have a silent conversation with me, just speak without opening your mouth. I will hear it.* Now this was something. If people saw him talking to himself, they would label him as mentally ill.


    *This feels weird.* Roy tried to talking as Mike instructed. It was not very hard to do. It was like thinking, except he was consciously doing it.


    *You will get used to it, eventually. I have found several problems with your body.*


    *Problems as in?* Mike¡¯s words worried Roy greatly.


    *Your spine alignment is wrong. Looks like a slip disc. It is also in bad shape. Your hamstrings are weak. Actually, every muscle in your body is weak. You have several benign tumors in several places in your body. You have an old injury on your left shoulder. You are missing three teeth and rest are in poor shape. Your gastric system is messed up. Your lungs are damaged. Seriously, how do you even manage your daily life with this much problem?* Roy was amazed. Mike listed off problems in his body like he was reading off ingredients from a shopping list.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    *Well nothing you described really hampered my daily life. I am just one of those millions of people who just go to office in the morning, and come back late. Boring office work. Sit in a chair all day and look at a monitor. I am actually surprised that my eyes are still fine, even after spending all these years looking at a monitor.* Roy shrugged. He was actually one of the healthier ones in his group.


    *Your eyes are fine. I have to correct your spine, and destroy the tumors. After merging, the enhanced self-repair mechanism will take care of the shoulder injury, teeth problems and gastric system. Regarding your weak muscles, I will leave them to your discretion.* Some specific words in Mike¡¯s rant drew Roy¡¯s attention.


    *Enhanced self-repair mechanism? You mean like healing factor? Like the wolverine from the comics?*


    *Enhanced self-repair mechanism means you heal from injury at a very high rate. But please don''t mix comics with real life. Like I said before, you can''t create something out of nothing. The mechanism will draw energy from the fat reserve in your body. If you run out of fat, it will stop working.*


    *Great. Never thought me being a bit fat will be a boon in disguise. Say, How strong my psychic abilities will be?* Roy was secretly happy. Now he had an excuse for eating more.


    *They could be quite strong if you wish for it. But I will advise against having too strong psychic ability right off the bat. I can give you the ability, but I can''t give you the control over it. On the matter of how to control them, I can help you with some. For the rest, you yourself have to learn to control them.*


    *I am gonna call in sick for two week. Give me just enough ability just to test things out. We will increase the power output according to how I adjust. What ability can you give me?* Fuck office. Psychic abilities was the more important one.


    *Lots. Telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, clairvoyance, precognition, psychometry, prophecy, and many more. However, I would advise you to go for Telekinesis, inception, and precognition for now. They should provide all the edge you require on earth.*


    ¡°All right, let¡¯s do it.¡±

 Book 1 Chapter 3: With great power, comes great fun: Part 1

    Roy woke up with a jerk next morning. He had a weird dream last night. He dreamed that his laptop suddenly revealed itself as an alien called Mike and promised him superhuman abilities. He called out to Mike to make sure everything happened wasn''t a very lucid alcohol induced dream. He half shouted, "MIKE!"


    *Yes I am here. Calm down.* Last night''s familiar voice rang out in his ear. Roy didn''t panic this time, as he expected it. He relaxed his muscles and fell down on the bed.


    Roy let out the breath he had been holding and thought to himself *My heart is pounding so fast, as if I just ran a 500 meter race. I was momentarily afraid that everything was a dream. I am so glad that it isn''t. Let me freshen up real quick. Then we will get started.*


    Roy stumbled while getting up, as if he suddenly got heavier.


    He asked his alien friend, *Mike, why do I suddenly feel heavier? I feel like I have put on weight overnight. Is that even possible?*


    *The reason for your heaviness is me. My total weight is almost 6 kilogram and I used all of myself to merge with you. Of course you will feel heavier.* The response from Mike actually made sense.


    *Oh, that makes sense. But 6 kilo? You were so light as a laptop.* Roy remembered the laptop to weight at most 2 kilos.


    *I used anti gravity technology to make myself lighter.* Mike lightly answered. Roy smiled and shook his head. Every word Mike spoke gave him something to think of. Anti-gravity tech? He could do so much with just that.


    Roy tried some jumping jacks and on the spot running to get a feel for his new weight. He was still fat, and the small amount of exercise he had done made him tired, although the tiredness went away very quickly thanks to his enhanced physic. Then he checked himself out in the mirror. The pimples on his face were gone, and he noticed that his left shoulder felt different. Like taking out a small piece of food from between your teeth at evening that got stuck there in the morning. He never noticed the shoulder injury before, but now that it was healed, he could feel it. He could not feel any of the little bumps under his skin that were there yesterday. His stomach felt better and he didn''t feel bloated. His back muscles didn''t pain anymore. He checked the inside of his mouth in the mirror and could see 3 new teeth. He took a deep breath and felt like he had new lungs. All in all, Roy felt so much healthier than yesterday.


    "I love alien tech." Roy said particularly to no-one and started to prepare. He answered nature''s call, brushed his teeth, had a quick shower and ate breakfast. All within half an hour.


    *You are quite excited about starting your training.* Mike suddenly chimed in his ear. Roy rolled his eyes, "Of course I am excited. It''s not everyday you get a alien machine to do your bidding."


    *Fair enough. So what is your plan?* Roy could discern the playful voice Mike sported. *Why are YOU excited?* Roy raised an eyebrow and inquired.


    *Frank spoke very highly of you in his last days with me. Remember that he is a very powerful empath. He told me that although you may find some obstacles in your path, you will be able to fully embrace the responsibility of being the Contact. I believe in him, so I want to see what you will do.* Roy could imagine Mike making a proud face and puffing out his chest. But he had to ask, *What kind of obstacle are we talking about?*


    Mike answer itself was quite clear, but the implication was vague, *Well, Frank said some of them will be moral and some mental. Though he didn''t elaborate on them, so I have no idea.* Roy rolled his eyes. That old man loved his cryptic answers too much.


    *Let''s get this show on the road.* Roy decided to put this thought at the back of his mind and focus on the current matter, *Well I have a long term plan, but first things first. I need you to make a laptop. Exactly like the office laptop laying on my desk. Physical look and feel should be same. Also mimic all the softwares installed in there. And copy all the data. But no need to mimic the hardware specs, instead turn them up them as much as you can. For the material, I have a old broken vacuum cleaner. Will it do?*If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    *No problem. Where is it?* Mike''s serious voice rang out in his ear. Roy knelt down and searched for it blindly under the bed. After minute of searching, he found it and took it out. There was a thick layer of dust on the cleaner. Roy was about to clean it, but remembered that dirt also counted as viable material. Mike instructed Roy to hold out his palm and he complied. A small drop of silver colored liquid gathered on Roy''s palm. On behest of Mike, Roy dropped the liquid onto the surface of the cleaner. Then he watched in awe as the drop of liquid quickly liquified the vacuum cleaner. Within 5 minutes, the whole vacuum cleaner melted into a thick silver slime like substance, then out of the slime a laptop started forming. And within 10 minutes, an exact copy of his office laptop formed.


    *So when you transform things, that''s how it looks.* Roy''s first hand experience at watching Mike work was just as he expected, very much alien-like, *But what was that liquid you had me gather on my palm?*


    Mike explained that he took a small part of himself and programmed it to as per Roy''s request. Every time Roy told Mike to make new things, he would need to do that. He can let that part of himself remain in the newly made things to communicate with it remotely, or he could take it back. However, he can''t replenish himself, and he got a limited supply of himself, as Mike put it, so Roy would need to manage. Though that droplet was half a cubic centimeter and Roy would still be able to use a little over 4000 cc, so Roy didn''t have to worry about running out anytime soon.


    After the laptop is created, Roy thought for a bit and decided to put an AI there and letting it handle all software related things. Mike confirmed that the laptop spec is more than enough for housing an AI. Though Roy would need to choose between a worker AI or companion AI. A worker AI was as their name suggested, a worker. They tended to have several skills at their disposal to accomplish almost anything one can ask them to do, but had poor conversation skill. A companion AI had more emotional range than a worker. They were vastly better conversationalist, but didn''t have much skills to help someone with work. As Roy needed someone who could do things, he chose worker AI.


    As for voice preference, Roy chose female. If the AI was going to talk, he preferred female. He already had a male voice in his head, he didn''t need one more. Mike asked if Roy wanted to give the AI a name, to which Roy chose the name Samantha, nicknamed Sam. A progress bar appeared on the laptop screen. First it showed 3%, but it quickly progressed and within two minutes, it completed. The laptop then rebooted itself and a smiley face appeared on the screen.


    *Hello Roy. I am Samantha, but you can call me Sam. Pleased to meet you.* Roy didn''t expect that, so he jolted in surprise when he heard a female voice in his ear. But since he already had a similar experience with Mike, he was a lot more calmer than the first time. He asked Mike through his thought, *Mike? She can talk in my ear too?*


    *I thought it would be better.* Roy was astonished at the autonomous decision Mike took. Without asking for any permission from him, Mike incorporated a feature into something that Roy asked to make. This could potentially be good and bad both, so Roy pondered on the idea of either letting Mike do it in the future, or telling him not to do anything without asking for permission. But he very quickly chose the second option. He and Mike were partners now, literally sharing one body and mind. After his long experience of being the aid of The Contact Person, Mike would know which things would be beneficial to Roy. So Roy smiled and resumed the conversation, *Indeed it would. Hello Sam. Pleased to meet you too. I have some work for you, if you don''t mind doing it.*


    *Of course not. It is the purpose of my being.* The smooth female voice felt like music to his ears. Mike fortunately made her voice very pleasant to hear, for which Roy was thankful to him.


    *Alright, I am gonna give you a crash course on how to operate the softwares my company makes.* Roy took Sam on his lap and went into teacher mode. Over the course of next 1 hour, Roy taught Sam how to use the softwares in the laptop. He also gave her a crash course on functionality of the third party softwares installed in the system. Being a machine herself, she learned everything very quickly.


    After teaching everything to her, Roy was ready to give her work, *Now, this is what I want you to do Sam. Test. Test this software using all possible permutation and combination of inputs. Log all the input combinations and resulting output, I don''t care how you do it as long as you can pull those up whenever I want. Correct every error you find and log those corrections too. Take help from the product documentation for reference. Can you do that?*


    Sam answered him back after a 3 second delay, *I can. It will take almost 1 week to run through all the possible seven lakh ninety two thousand eight hundred and sixty six scenarios applicable for the software. Is that time-frame acceptable?* She was probably deciding the correct response.


    Roy intentionally let Sam take decisions regarding the logging. He wanted to know what was the limit regarding taking decisions for Sam. Being the AI that Mike installed, he had high hopes for her. But he was quite surprised with the answer Sam gave him, and spoke out loud instead of thinking in his mind, "You kidding? 8 lakh scenario within a week? Just what kind of processing power did Mike give you?"


    *I apologize for not being able to do it faster.* Sam''s disheartened voice nearly broke Roy''s heart. Damn it, she sounded more real than real girls. He didn''t mean his words like that at all. Even Mike came to her defense, *Given the dimension of the laptop, this is the maximum processing output I can give Sam without any heating problem. She can run approximately 1 scenario in 1 second. That should still be quite an achievement.* Roy hurriedly spoke up to clear the misunderstanding, again speaking out loud in stead of thinking, ¡°No no, you both are misunderstanding. I wasn''t upset, I was praising her.¡± He breathed easy when both of them stopped speaking, *Alright Sam, get to work. I will check up on you from time to time."


    *Commencing task now.* Sam''s voice went silent after the statement.

 Book 1 Chapter 3: With great power, comes great fun: Part 2

    *Now to myself.* Roy took a deep breath and directed Mike to create some robots. The robots would be able to do what Roy told them to. They would be as small as Mike could make them without compromising their functions and store them inside Roy''s body. Mike decided to convert some of Roy''s fat to make them. Roy warned Mike not to make too much, only a hundred or so of them.


    Then he went into a detailed discussion with Mike on the psychic powers he unlocked last night. Telekinesis was like conjuring extra invisible limbs one had to control. Mike won''t be able to help Roy with this ability. Roy would have to figure this one out himself. Inception was like planting a seed in ground, only in this case one would be planting an idea in someones mind and let it grow. Mike would be able to help Roy with this ability. As for precognition, it was a passive ability. It can''t be controlled. It would activate by itself when conditions are met.


    Over the course of next 1 week, Roy mastered the inception ability. It was an ability where he could plant an idea, or a thought into someone''s mind and as long as they weren''t too averse to the idea, they would treat it as their own. Suffice to say, the ability to change a person''s mind was and always would be a weapon of terrifying potential. However, its effect was not to be confused with hypnosis. Roy used the ability to various effects. The stingy shopkeepers gave him large discounts, the neighborhood girls became very affectionate with him, and a random stray dog did tricks without any sort of training. Roy discovered that he could use inception onto any creatures with some form of intelligence, like dogs, cats and snakes. But since insects didn''t have any intelligence, Roy couldn''t use inception on them.


    By this time, Sam had finished running all the tests and corrected over 7000 issues, ranging from small issues like line alignment problem in screens to critical calculation errors. She created separate files for every issue, with issue description, evidence screen shot, and the fix done. She even separated them by category. Roy was astonished with the thorough execution and complimented Sam on a job well done. He told her that she can do whatever she wants for the next week. She went into the internet, learning about the latest technologies and systems.


    For the next 1 week, Roy trained his telekinesis ability. It was a pretty much the textbook ability where he could move things without touching them. He started with small things. Levitating a small rocks, taking out a book from shelf. Then he moved onto bigger things. By the end of the week, he could lift a heavy truck completely off the ground as easily as picking up a tennis ball, do precise control like threading five needles simultaneously, and fly for hours long without getting tired. Moreover, he could do them without making any gesture whatsoever.


    The precognition ability was something Roy described as very cool ability. It was like an unconscious awareness of his surroundings, like he knew what would happen around him even before it happened. It not only warned him of any imminent danger, but also of any happenings out of order. However, even if he got the early warning, Roy had to act on his own if wanted to take action. This ability saved him from 4 would-be broken dishes at home, and from a collision with a car driven by a drunk driver.


    The most frightening thing Roy noticed was, he could control these psychic abilities like he was born with them and had been using them for all his lifetime. Even Mike was amazed by it. He commented that it took Frank almost a year to get a grip on his basic empath ability. The final conclusion was that Roy must have a tremendous natural affinity towards psychic abilities which was why he could master them so easily.


    By this time, Sam had learned everything there was to learn about new things and commented that no technology on earth was up to par with her. If Roy didn''t provide any sort of help, it would take earth at least 500 years more to get to an acceptable level in terms of technology.


    Now after two weeks of absence, Roy returned to work. He kept the original work laptop at his home and took Sam with him since she looked exactly the same, she can mimic the office laptop permissions and restriction perfectly, and can do a vastly better job than that piece of junk. At the office gate, he was greeted by one of his colleague, a fellow software developer. They exchanged greetings and the colleague asked worriedly if everything was OK back home. Roy made up a story that he was very sick and the doctor strictly advised him to stay in bed. But he was okay now and he would resume his work.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    Roy worked for a company which dealt in the banking and financial sector. They created banking softwares and sold them to customers.


    On the way to inside the office building, he greeted the receptionist. The receptionist and Roy was at most acquaintance, so there was no need for him to do so. But Roy had a plan, so this was important, "Good morning Nila."


    The receptionist looked up from the computer screen and noticed Roy. She smiled and waved, "Hi, good morning. How''s your health now?"


    Roy told her the same story he told his colleague in brief. But he found it odd that she knew he was sick. They weren''t that close, at least that''s what Roy thought. Was she a secret admirer of him? Nah, that can''t be possible. That kind of thing only happened in comics. So he asked her how she knew he was sick. She told him that the annual office party was around the corner and she wanted him to sign up for the opening dance performance like last year. But she couldn''t reach him on his office desk phone, and one of the their common friends told her that he was sick.


    Roy had forgotten about the party due to the recent events. He smiled inwardly as this event would give him the opportunity to execute part of his plan. Nila informed him that he should come to the basement parking space for the rehearsal, if he wanted. Roy assured her that he would be there and went on his way.


    Roy went inside the office, sat down at his desk and took out Sam. He checked his pending mails quickly. Then he went to meet with his colleagues since he was absent for two weeks. All of them asked about his sickness and congratulated him on his speedy recovery. After he met his peers, he went to meet his boss in his personal room.


    "Good morning Sir. Can I come in?" Roy opened the door halfway and peeked in. His boss was a stout man in his forties. He was very different from the other obese bosses as he worked out to stay in shape and had an air of intimidation around him. But he was friendly.


    "Oh good morning to you too Roy. Yes come in come in. How are you feeling now?" He smiled widely at Roy and gestured him to sit across him in the chair.


    "I am all recovered sir." Roy took a seat and made himself comfortable. His boss asked him various questions regarding his sickness, subtly trying to find out any discrepancies in his story. Roy made sure to answer him in such a way that it would be hard to tell that he was actually lying, all the while he kept his poker face. When his boss didn''t find any lie in Roy''s words, he nodded and turned his attention to office work.


    "Well it''s good that you are back finally. There''s a lot of work pending. I will ask your manager to assign some task to you." His boss concluded and turned his attention to the computer screen, universal sign for all the bosses that the conversation was over. However, Roy wasn''t having that. After all, his boss held the key to the next part of his plan. "That would be great, but actually sir, I wanted to ask something regarding the new project which is coming next month."


    His boss slowly turned to look at him, all pretense of caring had evaporated in air. He was in the calculating boss mode, "Ask away."


    At this moment, Roy used inception on his boss. All the bosses, no matter who, were always scheming to maximize their profits. As such, they had many thoughts in their minds at the same time. They were easy targets for inception. Roy planted the idea that his boss wanted Roy to be the manager for this new project and he would be the best choice for it.


    Roy put on his most sincere voice and spoke, "I was wondering whether I could be the one to handle the new project? You know, I have been here for a long time now. So I am thinking that it is a good chance to show my worth."


    His boss''s eyes went blank for a minute due to the amount of pressure Roy created on him through inception. Roy shook his head and smiled to himself. He tended to forget that people had no natural mental defense to block inception. As such, Roy forgot to tone down the inception pressure due to his nervousness. After a minute, when his boss regained his clarity, he spoke like he didn''t notice that he went blank, "You know what, I was also thinking along the same line. There are others who have also requested me for this position, but from what I know, there will be a lot of changes and this particular client is very perfection oriented. So I wanted someone responsible like you to manage this whole venture. And now that you are also asking for it yourself, I think I will go ahead and make it official."


    Roy smiled widely at him, "Thank you sir. I will start preparing right away."


    Roy got out of the room and came back to his desk. Within 10 minutes, he got several mails from his boss. One congratulating him on his new responsibilities, others detailing the discussions that had taken place with the client till this far. There was also a mail stating that next month, he will have to fly to customer side for requirement gathering. He got a chat message from his boss saying that he should raise the requests for visa processing, flight ticket booking and advance for expense. Roy did as he asked. By the time Roy completed raising the requests for everything, it was already lunchtime.


    Since his mother died, Roy didn''t bother to bring homemade lunch, since he couldn''t get time to cook on weekdays. He normally always ate out. Only on the weekends, if he had no plans of going anywhere, he would cook food. Even then he wasn''t much good as a cook. He could fix himself simple meals, but any dish which required a lot of ingredients and spices were a no-go.


    After he ate lunch, he went back to his seat instead of going for a walk with his friends. His office only had security cameras on the corridors, not in the rooms. And this made perfect place for his next experiment. When he greeted and shook hands with his female coworkers this morning, he made sure to transfer some of the robots he made earlier to some of them and made those bots attach themselves to the brain''s pleasure centers. And now that the room was mostly empty since most of the people left for lunch, he made his move.

 Book 1 Chapter 3: With great power, comes great fun: Part 3

    Roy calmed down fairly quickly and strength returned to his legs. He tried to stand up while supporting himself on the toilet wall, *I will need a lot of experience to actually learn to control myself. But that''s for later. Now we both have to get back to office to avoid suspicion.*


    Nila sat on the ground with a vacant expression on her face. Her cheeks were dyed red and she was smiling like an idiot.


    "Hey Nila. Hey. Snap out of it." Roy lightly slapped her cheek. She jerked and woke up from her dreamland. Then she noticed Roy and the toilet stall around. And realization dawned on her. She opened her mouth and Roy instinctively put his hand on her mouth, fearing she is going to scream. But to his relief, she didn''t scream or struggle.


    "Come on, get up." Roy stood up and held out his hands. Nila took his hand and got up to her feet, still unsteady. Seemed like her legs were still a bit wobbly. Good thing she didn''t wear any heels. But even after standing up, she didn''t make any attempt to put on her cloths. She didn''t even cover herself with her hands. Judging by how much her face was flushed, it looked like she will faint anytime. But she stood there, all naked, without attempting to cover herself.


    *Is she the submissive type? I thought she would be the opposite.* Roy mused and decided to take charge.


    "Turn around." He ordered. She slowly turned around. She even cantered her hips to one side, posing sexily.


    *She definitely is a sub.* Mike chimed in his ear. Roy only cracked a smile.


    Roy ordered her to stick her ass out and spread yourself. Her breathing grew ragged again with anticipation. She put one hand on the wall and stuck her ass out as much as she could. This made her already good curves seem even sexier. With her free hand, she spread herself open and Roy could see the wetness dripping from her secret place. He was already recovered thanks to his enhanced physic and his dick was raring to go again. You can''t empty your sack of 2 week worth on the first time.


    Roy admired the view of her backside, *Got to say, now that I don''t have to look at her face, she has very good proportions.*


    He came up behind her and positioned himself. Since he had never done this before, he kept missing her pussy. After a few failed attempts, she helped him out by holding his dick in the right position. Without any warning or anything, he buried himself inside her with one thrust. She gasped a little and moaned a little louder. And Roy was in heaven. The first time feeling of a tight hot pussy around his dick was something he could never describe.


    She was plenty wet. Roy had no trouble sliding in and out of her, but didn''t feel the resistance of her virginity, which should have been there according to all the novel he read before. He slowly thrust in and out of her and she struggled to keep her voice in check. Roy stopped thrusting for a minute to let her catch her breath and asked her, "You had sex before?"


    Nila took a minute to answer. After catching her breath, she answered, "Yes. My ex-boyfriend."


    Roy suddenly realized, *Shit, I just realized. I didn''t check if any of the girls had boyfriends or not. I would hate to come between a happy couple and NTR the guy. Let''s correct that mistake after I am done here.*


    Roy asked her a question with bit of dread in his voice, "And your current boyfriend?"


    She only shook her head. Roy took it as she is single now. Free of all guilt, he started moving with more power. Slow at first, then he picked up the pace. Being a virgin, he had no idea what he was doing. He moved his hips on instinct and did what he wanted to do. Fortunately for him, Nila helped him out by moving her hips. Roy fell into a trance and just kept moving his hips, focused on the pleasure. Since he had already blown his load once, he was able hold out for a bit more time this round, and finished by filling her up to the brim. She muffled her mouth with her hands to keep herself from crying out loud and squirted hard. His dick kept pumping seed into her for a while, and then they separated from each other. Roy had to support himself by holding onto the stall wall. Nila just slid down the wall she was using to support herself and kept twitching, relishing into the afterglow of being filled, but came to her senses quickly.


    She accused Roy with tear filled eyes, "You put so much inside me. What are you going to do now?"


    Roy was still reeling from the sensation of his first fuck. He was seeing stars in his eyes and it took him a few seconds to collect his thoughts. He focused on Nila and asked, "Sorry, what did you just say?"


    Nila thrust out her finger accusingly, but kept her voice to a minimum, "You came so much inside me. What if I get pregnant?"


    Roy became a bit clear headed after the euphoria of sex died down a little, "Don''t worry. I am sterile. I can never become a father."


    Nila looked at him in disbelief. She sternly stared into Roy''s eyes and Roy did the same to show he wasn''t lying. After a minute of tense silence, she spoke up, "Let''s hope you are right. I don''t want to become a mother before marriage. But if by any chance I do, I am making you take full responsibility." She huffed and got up the floor. She cleaned up herself as much as she could and put on the cloths she discarded on the floor. After making sure no one was around, Nila went out of the toilet. Roy followed her example. He cleaned himself, then got out of the toilet and made his way back to office. No one seemed to notice that even though dance rehearsal was done half an hour ago, Nila came back late and Roy also came back late. Roy went to his desk, picked up his bag and left office.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    On the way to home, Roy stopped by a gym and took a 1 month membership. He also hired a personal trainer since he knew nothing about how to train his body. After getting out of the gym, he went to a mall and picked up things required for gym.


    Next day morning, Roy went to the gym and started working out. Due to his enhanced physic, he wasn''t much worried about having muscle ache. For two hours, he gave it his all and worked out. His personal trainer warned him that pushing himself so much on the first day will give him a lot of sore muscles and prescribed some medication if the pain becomes too much. Then Roy came back home and scrubbed himself clean of all the sweat he accumulated in the morning. Then he went to office.


    In the office, he noticed something that caught his eye. Today ash didn''t wear a jeans. Instead she wore a thin cotton pant and shirt. After Roy sat at his desk, he made eye contact with her and wiggled his eyebrows a little. She blushed and hurriedly broke eye contact. Roy gave himself two more days before he could take her to bed, *She is too easy to read. Yesterday, I only touched her a bit through her jeans. Today she came to office with a thin dress so that she can feel my touch more.*


    After lunch, Roy once again made his way towards Ash''s desk. She saw him coming and instantly started fidgeting, refusing to make eye contact. Roy smiled like a predator, and took a seat beside her. He asked some questions in an effort to start a conversation, however she only answered in one or two words. Roy took it as a sign of her not being able to think properly due to being too much aroused. He put his hands on her knees and slowly rubbed, while whispering as low as he could, "Calm down. You''re too nervous. You''re acting like I am going to eat you up right here. Say, you''re single right?" Roy placed his hands on her thighs and slowly moved it, enjoying the feeling of her soft thighs. Ash nodded silently and started to grow redder and breath heavier.


    Roy also didn''t say anything else and focused more on gently groping her. Today he decided to take things a notch further. He glided down his hand towards her inner thigh in an attempt to touch her more intimately, but she instinctively pressed her thighs together, refusing him access.


    "Relax." Roy whispered as he returned to massaging her thighs. "Sorry. Too nervous." She whispered barely audible, not relaxing her thighs in the slightest.


    "Maybe I should stop here for today. I don''t want to know if you can get anymore redder than you already are." Roy took off his hands after getting in a last squeeze of her thighs. She seemed a bit sad but composed herself quickly. She put her hands on her chest and whispered, "Yeah, I think that will be for best. My heart is pounding so loud that I think it will jump out of my chest anytime." She slowly relaxed now that Roy withdrew his hand. Roy slowly took her chin in his hand, and made her face him. Then slowly he neared her. She didn''t resist in the slightest, and even closed her eyes in anticipation. He gave her a peck on the lips. Just a small peck, nothing more than that. Then he let her go and went away from her desk.


    Next, Roy went to Prema''s desk. Yesterday, she wore a jeans and t-shirt, but today she wore a gray miniskirt and a sleeveless top, showing generous amount of skin. He casually sat down beside her, but at enough distance so that he could see her legs. She stopped whatever she was doing and turned to face him. Then she did something unexpected. She leaned back on her chair and deliberately made a show of slowly crossing her bare legs. *Two can play this game* Roy thought to himself and also made sure she knew that he looked at her bare legs for a bit longer time than necessary. Since he was relieved of a lot of tension yesterday, he wasn''t rock hard instantly. But such a sexy show, coupled with the encounter with Ash just minutes ago, was enough for his lower part to start reacting. Prema was a sexy girl and his balls reloaded themselves pretty quickly now-a-days.


    She noticed the growing bulge in his pants and averted her gaze. Though she kept looking at it at every alternate second. Roy smiled a bit at her cute behavior. "No touching, only looking." Roy stated with a mischievous smile. She hastily turned around and started pretending like she was busy with work. When Roy looked at her from the sides, he could see that he was getting red. He got up from his chair and put his chin on her left shoulder. Her body tensed up immediately.


    "Say, are you single?" Roy asked normally.


    "Sorry, I am not looking,", she cleared her throat a bit, then continued, "for a relationship." She kept up her strong facade despite her embarrassment, but Roy could tell that she was bluffing. Her voice was trembling and along with her throat clearing, Roy surmised that she had never been in such a situation. Roy mused, was this what people say, playing hard to get? Roy whispered into her ears, "Good. How about we go on a dinner date? Tonight?" Roy could her body shivered a bit, and then she nodded. "Good." he gave a light peck on her cheek and stood up.


    *The test is coming along nicely.* Roy returned to his desk and relaxed.


    *I am not understanding what test you are conducting. At all.* Roy thought Mike sounded a bit distraught. Perhaps he didn''t like being kept in the dark.


    Roy started his long explanation, *Simple. We humans are social creatures. We can''t stay sane without someone around us. Our personalities would deteriorate if we go too long alone. If I don''t explore ways to live inside the society while staying out of prying eyes, then I will be forced to live in solitude which is not at all desirable. Notice my progress with the girls. Nila jumped into my pants on the first day. Ash will probably do anything I want within two days. Prema will take some conditioning before she comes around. Now notice that for all of them, I have done the same thing, just jolting their pleasure centers. Meaning, even though their reactions are different, ultimately they have no defense against it. If I can successfully make all of them my fuckbuddy with no strings attached, I will call this test successful.*


    *How will this help you in future?* Mike asked after a minute.


    *I am testing how fast I can make a woman come to my bed. Like I told you, sex is the dominant instinct in humans. I am no exception. So I gotta find a way to keep myself satisfied. And if I am gonna live a long life without a family, I will need it. Remember, I have a lot of abilities in my disposal. If I can''t live a healthy life, I might get funny ideas of using those abilities. And by funny, I mean destructive.* As playful as Roy was, he actually gave this thing a lot of thought. He perfectly understood the destructive potential he had, and how it could negatively affect the society.


    After office hour ended, Roy packed up his things and went to Prema''s desk. After half an hour of traveling, Roy and Prema sat in a restaurant. Throughout the dinner, Roy could tell that she was nervous. She kept fiddling with her food and she didn''t, or more like couldn''t eat much. Roy also ate little so that she wouldn''t feel awkward and took care of the bill. She insisted on a 50-50 split, but Roy refused saying that next time they would split. He was pleased to see her not refuting the idea of a second date.


    *She is so cute when she is nervous. Makes me want to cuddle the hell out of her.* Roy thought of himself while Prema excused herself to the toilet.


    *That is your goal though, isn''t it? Cuddle the hell out of every girl?* Mike chimed in.


    Roy corrected him, *No, the goal is to bed her without hurting her, both physically and emotionally. That''s different from cuddling. You know what, let''s loosen her up a little. I liked her better when she was trying to be sexy and all.*


    After Prema came back from toilet, he proposed to go for a walk by the beach. Prema was a bit reluctant, saying that she lived with a roommate and that she would worry. Roy simply waved off her excuses, firmly told her to call up her roommate and notify her that she would be coming late. Prema playfully grumbled that he was such a stubborn man. They took a cab to the nearest beach and took a short walk on it. They found a small rock on the beach and decided to rest up for a bit. The piece of rock was quite small, and there weren''t enough space for both of them. Prema was going to sit on it, saying ladies first, but Roy managed to slip in and sat down. She whined a bit, but instantly shut up when Roy pulled her in and within a moment, she was sitting on his lap. She was as stiff as a board at first, but gradually relaxed as Roy kept petting her. Sometime after, Roy noticed that she went to sleep in his arms. He picked her up in a princess carry. With telekinetic assist, she was no more heavier than a feather. Then Roy dropped her off at her place and went home.

 Book 1 Chapter 3: With great power, comes great fun: Part 4

    Roy decided to get something which will enable him to travel long distances easily. But he couldn''t get cars, or motorcycles since he will have to register them. He decided to get a electric bi-cycle for now. Those doesn''t need to be registered and there would be no suspicion. The problem with electric bi-cycles was the limit of it''s battery life. Roy decided to consult with Mike. And as it turned out, Mike had a schematic for a miniature particle converter which can take any kind of solid matter as fuel and can convert the matter to various type of energy. Roy asked Mike if even plastic garbage or airborne dust particles would do the trick or not. Mike answered yes. Roy decided to use the airborne dust particles as fuel as the dust particles would always be present in air.


    Within a night, Mike created a blue and black bi-cycle for Roy using the garbage outside of his apartment. The bi-cycle had wide tires for better traction, a high powered motor and equally high output battery for better power and speed. However, the size of the motor and battery was small, so they would not raise any suspicion. Roy rode the cycle to gym. His personal instructor was surprised to see him since he assumed Roy will not come to the gym due to sore muscles. But ultimately he concluded that Roy must have had some muscle training before and didn''t think much of it. And again, Roy gave it his all for two hours and came back home. After taking a bath and a hearty breakfast, he set out for office.


    On the way inside, he noticed that Nila was intensely looking at him. So he went over to her and greeted normally,"Hey, how''s it going?"


    She blushed a bit, but managed to answer normally, "Same as usual. How about you?"


    Roy suddenly felt a bit mischievous, "I have been lonely after, you know, THAT." He whispered shamelessly.


    The blush on Nila''s cheek deepened. She put an finger on her lips as an universal sign of silence and whispered back, "Shhh. Don''t talk about that here. There are people around."


    Roy only grinned at her and went on his way. On the way, he noticed Ash hunched over a desk talking to someone. He intentionally took the path to his desk which would lead him to her. Roy told Mike to gather some of himself to Roy''s left palm. Roy was going to touch the girl and when he did, Mike would transfer himself to her and wait. Mike wasn''t really sure why it would be necessary. After all, he already has the bots on her. He reminded Roy of this fact and Roy insisted on doing it. Mike relented and Roy could actually feel something gather on his palm. While passing by her, he quickly grabbed her ass with his left palm and gave it a light squeeze. Ash yelped and whirled around to see who it was. Upon noticing that it was Roy, she giggled and playfully hit him on his shoulder. The girl ash was talking with was a bit confused on what just happened. Roy laughed while pretending to be hurt due to shoulder punch and went to his desk. Mike mentally notified him that it was done.


    He quickly checked his mails. His boss has approved of his request of travel. There was a mail from travel team requesting a list of documents for visa processing. He quickly gathered the documents, and sent the soft copies to travel team. He got a mail from his boss saying that he should read the product documentation as much as he could. And that they could not find any suitable candidate to assist Roy, so he would have to handle the client alone this time. Roy only grinned as he had no need to go through the documentation. He let Sam handle it. He focused on the more pressing matters.


    As Mike was a part of his being, he concluded that even after being separated, they would be somehow connected. Mike confirmed that it should be likely, even though he had never tested the same. Roy explained his next grand scheme. He needed a long term visa, which would eliminate a lot of headache. But from the stories of his seniors there, they didn''t generally get long term business visa for whatever reason. So Roy came up with the idea. Why not use inception on the person who was going to issue his visa? But here was the rub. For inception to work, Roy needed to be in close range of the target. And of course, Roy wouldn''t know who would issue his visa. So how to do it?


    The answer was simple. Roy needed something in between the guy and him which could bounce the inception signal. So he came to this conclusion. What if I left a part of Mike somewhere? Could he use inception through Mike? Like a long range receiver? Mike confirmed that theoretically, it should be possible. Roy left his desk and went out of the office to test it out. He already got a part of Mike on Ash. He walked to the parking lot to make sure that Ash was way out of his inception range. Then he got to work.


    First 10 minutes were unsuccessful. Roy could locate the part of Mike he left on Ash easily enough, but was having trouble transmitting inception through him. After several unsuccessful attempts, he suddenly had an epiphany. Till now, he was sending his thoughts like a transmitter and Mike was receiving his thoughts like a receiver. But in theory, the receiver should be Ash. Mike had to act as a relay, not a receiver. With the sudden inspiration, he got to work and on the first attempt, inception was successful. After 5 minutes, Roy could see Ash coming towards the parking lot.


    Ash noticed Roy and walked over to him, half running. He was sitting on a motorcycle. Ash came up to him and stood very close to him, even put her hands on his legs. Roy really wanted to play with her a bit, but he had to finish setting his plans in motion. He got up, bid Ash goodbye and left. She looked at his departing back and she thought, ''Damn it. I wanted him to grab my ass again, like he did this morning. I am getting wet just thinking about it. I wonder if he will come to my desk today too.''


    Roy came back to his desk. Now that the test was a success, he directed Mike to follow the documents which he sent for Visa processing. When they would be ready for review, Mike would let Roy know and he would use inception. Mike followed the documents through the internet connection. How? Roy neither had any idea, not did he want to want know. However, if Mike could follow anything through internet connections, Roy could get some idea on how to use this particular trait.


    The rest of the day was usual. Today, Roy managed to pry open Ash''s legs. It seemed the need to feel his touch overwhelmed her embarrassment. Roy asked her if she had a boy-friend or not. When she answered no, he invited her for a dinner date and she instantly accepted. He also hinted that they would be doing something more than dinner. The anticipating look on her face told Roy everything he wanted to know. Roy didn''t go to Prema''s desk today.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    After the office, Roy took Ash to the same restaurant as yesterday, when he and Prema had dinner. Towards the end of meal, Ash was refusing to meet his eyes and was eating very slowly. He urged her to finish the meal and then took her to a hotel. Ash asked why they were going to hotel instead of Roy''s home. Instead of telling her that Roy didn''t want her to know the location of his house, he told her that girls weren''t allowed in his society.


    They got into the hotel room. Roy stripped down to his underwear very quickly. But Ash was still squirming. Roy decided to help her out, and after a bit of struggle and giggling Ash stood naked in front of Roy, not a string on her. And though he kept her poker face, Roy was disappointed.


    Nila''s face was hideous, but her body had some proper curves and muscles to it. Her body was sexy enough to make Roy want it. But Ash? The ass she was so proud to show off, was just a blob of fat without any shape to it. It seemed they only looked proper since she always wore tight fitted clothing. Her upper body looked malnourished, he could even see her ribs. No breasts to speak of. Arms so thin that Roy thought they would break if she ever tried to pick up a brick off the ground. Her body looked dis-proportioned. When Roy grabbed her ass, it felt so wrong. Now Roy was in a dilemma. Ash was so unsexy, that Roy was sure he would not be able to get it up. Now he was regretting his impulsiveness. He mentally swore that after tonight, he would never, ever bed a woman who did not take care of their body.


    As they say, people had most ingenious of ideas as times of desperation. And as it turned out, they were right. Roy had this idea. If her body was the problem, why not change it to someone else''s? Roy instructed Mike to superimpose some porn stars image onto his eyes. So effectively, Roy would see the porn star, not Ash. And this did the trick.


    Roy saw a redhead, sexy and petite girl standing in place of ash and instantly started having a boner. Mike warned him that since the image is superimposed and the porn star was healthier than Ash, there would be some discrepancies to vision and touch. Meaning if Roy touched her upper body, he would see that his hands were sinking into the flesh. If he touched her ass, he would see his hands hover thin air.


    Roy decided to finish it as soon as possible. He instructed the bots in her body to make her aroused. Roy abandoned the idea of having a playful foreplay as that would do more harm than good to his boner. He quickly made her give him a blowjob to make himself hard, then instructed her to get on the bed on all fours. He grabbed her ass and felt a bit weird when he saw his hands grab thin air. Thankfully, he didn''t go soft. Quickly entering her, he gave her a minute to get used to it. Being heavily aroused, she didn''t feel much pain of her hymen ripped, and was instead aroused further by it. Roy pounded her as fast as he could. She came three times before Roy emptied himself in her depth. He instructed the bot to come back to him through him palm on her ass and then he separated from her. Then he instructed Mike to remove the superimposed image, now that the deed was done.


    Ash calmed down some time later. She picked herself up from the bed and looked around, presumably for Roy. He was sitting in a chair after cleaning himself up. She asked with a hopeful voice, "So are we a thing now?" Roy looked at her with the most sad looking face he could muster and spoke in a low voice, "No, sorry. This was a one time thing. You''re not really my type." She bit her lips and Roy could see her tearing up. She hurriedly went into the bath and shut the door.


    Roy mentally slapped himself. He might be a perverted guy who wanted to fuck all the girls in the world. But he still was inherently a good guy. Hell, even in the computer games he played, he never explored the villain path. He couldn¡¯t stand to act like a bad guy, even in a game. And now he had to act like a playboy so that Ash would not attach herself to her. Roy closed his eyes and massaged them a bit in an attempt to calm down. He cursed his inner soft self. Now that she was hurt, he would not be able to rest easy. Roy sighed and stood up from the chair. He made a mistake this time. In the future, he would be more careful at choosing his targets. He would choose those kinds of girls who would not mind one night stays.


    What? He was a perverted guy at heart. Just because he made a mistake, he would not become a saint.


    He stripped off the clothing he wore after cleaning up and knocked at the bath door, but no answer came out. He could hear the muffled sound of crying coming out. He knocked on the door a bit harder. It seemed she heard him this time, "I need a few minutes more. You can leave if you want."


    Now Roy wasn''t having any drama. He hated dramas and sob stories. The door lock could only be opened from the inside, but with telekinesis, it was no problem. Ash yelped when Roy opened the door and came inside naked. She hurriedly tried to dry her eyes and spoke angrily, which Roy could tell was fake, "Roy, get out. I am still bathing."


    Roy strutted up her and she flattened herself on the wall, seemingly afraid of him. Roy looked directly into her eyes and said, "Bathing? While you are sitting on the toilet seat? Who are you fooling Ash?"


    "Why do you care? I am not your girlfriend or anything." It seemed she spit out those words even without thinking, as she covered her mouth immediately.


    "Ash." Roy spoke softly and put his hands on her waist. He slowly pulled her close to him and she didn''t resist. Putting her head on his chest, she began to cry again. She put her hands around him and bawled her eyes out.


    Some time later, when she calmed down, Roy bathed her in the shower, dried her with a towel and clothed her. She didn''t say a word and let him do everything. Then Roy brought her to the park nearby and sat down on a patch of grass under a tree. Roy made her sit between his legs, her back on him and made her lean on him. Then he put his arms around her so that she won''t get cold.


    For some time, none of them said anything. Roy started to think that his plan might have failed. However, after what seemed like an hour, which was actually 3 minutes, Ash spoke softly, "You don''t have to do this, you know? Comforting me, I mean."


    Roy gave her matter a lot of thought in the last an hour or so. In the long time Roy worked in the company, he never saw her with a boyfriend. She always ate little, as if she was afraid that she would get fat if she ate more. She always put on make ups and took care of her looks. She always wore fashionable cloths. In fact, if she just worked out a little and ate properly, she would easily become a head-turner. Roy also noticed that she hanged out with a lot of people, but none of them seemed to have anymore than friendship with her. Perhaps this was the reason?


    "Do you hate me comforting you? Someone who just fucked you, then told you that he doesn''t like you?" Roy asked her lightly. He felt her body jolt. She turned to look at him and then pinched him as on his hands as hard as she could. Roy could feel no more than a tickle though. Seriously, just how low


    "You want the men to take notice of you, don''t you?" Roy felt her jolt again. She drew both of her knees in and put her hands around it, and then rested her head on them. Roy put his arms around her again. She was so thin, that Roy could actually put his arms all the way around.


    She started talking after a minute or two, in a very low voice, like she is talking to herself and doesn''t want Roy to listen. Roy wisely kept his mouth shut and listened, "I tend to get fat very easily. I was always the chubby girl in my school. Boys always made fun of me. But I didn''t mind that too much. But when I got to college, and all of my friends got themselves a boy, and left me all alone. So I decided to become pretty. I started to eat less. Wore fashionable cloths. Learned how to wear make-up. But since I didn''t know how much I should eat, I ate as less as I could, and now I am skinny. So skinny that the men avoid me. I am afraid to eat more. I was so happy the way you treated me tonight. The way you wanted me. I thought maybe I would have a chance with you."


    Roy shook his heads. This is why India was so far underdeveloped. It was simply a lack of knowledge. This girl doesn''t even know there are nutrition professionals who could get her the diet she needed. He pulled her closer strongly and whispered into her ears, "I am sorry that I can''t be with you. But if I help you with your boyfriend problem, will you forgive me?"


    She immediately perked up, "Why can''t you be my boyfriend?"


    Roy didn''t know how to explain. He certainly can''t tell her the truth. So he chose to give her a obscure and straightforward answer, "I have my circumstances. Please don''t ask anymore, cause I won''t answer."


    She got miffed by his answer a little. But asked the second question that was on her mind, "How will you help me?"


    Roy explained her that there are nutrition professionals and promised her to find her some contact. In return, he made her promise that she would follow the diet and work out. He dropped her at home. Before parting ways, Ash bashfully asked for a last kiss, which Roy refused, saying that she would only earn it when she kept her promise.

 Book 1 Chapter 3: With great power, comes great fun: Part 5

    The next two weeks went like someone pressed the fast forward button. Roy withdrew his bots from both Prema and Nila''s body, cause he figured trying to bed them would only result in more problems that he didn''t want to handle. He understood that picking up girls would not be possible in this country, unless that girl is from a rich family and a party girl. Within this time period, he also managed to get a long term visa by using inception. He also received his booking details and everything. And now Roy laid down on comfortably on his bed, levitating and rotating three rubber balls absent mindedly, while planning his next move.


    This would be his first tour where he would be directly interacting with the customer. But Roy wasn''t nervous or anything, since now that he wasn''t bound by the fear of losing his job anymore. Sam had gone through the whole product code and documentation. So Roy first thought to let Sam guide him during the presentation. But now he had another plan which was more awesome.


    Now for the luggage he needed for the trip. Roy thought it would be problematic to lug around a big, heavy bag. It was not a problem with telekinetic assist, but he couldn''t do that in the airport. So he went for the alien solution. He remembered that Mike said that he was able to use teleportation. So he got into a discussion with Mike on the topic. As per the explanation he received, teleportation was fundamentally folding of space. By using a source wormhole generator and a target wormhole generator, one can forcefully bring two points in space together and create a door to pass through. The bigger the door, the bigger the generators. So basically, if Roy left a wormgen in his home and kept one with him, he could anytime open a door to his home from anywhere in this world.


    So he decided to bring only Sam and bare necessities with him. Mike made the wormgen in the shape of a fancy wristwatch. Next morning he went to the airport 3 hours prior and used inception on the counter guy to give him a upgrade to business class. He loitered around the airport and checked out the pretty girls, but none caught his eyes. When it was time for boarding the plane, Roy got in first because of business class privilege. On the way to his seat, he was disappointed by the air hostesses. None of them were pretty, or young. He was dejected and went to sleep.


    After reaching his destination, Roy took a cab to the serviced apartment his travel team booked for him. The whole building was small, only four floors. Roy went in though the front door and saw the whole area is deserted except a pretty lady behind the counter and a suave looking guy trying to pick her up.


    "You sure I can''t interest you in a cup of coffee? You do know I am leaving today, right?" the man was quite well dressed. With a three piece suit, blue tie and polished shoes he looked far richer for this place. He was even talking politely. Roy sighed as he didn''t have encounter a cliche, save the pretty girl from assholes scenario.


    The lady behind the counter smiled sweetly, almost like a mother consoling her kid, "Mr Larson, you do know I am the currently the only employee here except the housekeepers. While you do seem like a nice guy, and I would love to go on a date with you, you know my hands are tied. You already know why."


    The guy sighed, and hanged down his head. After a minute or two, he looked up and gave her a defeated smile. He tried one last time, "Can I at least have your contact number?"


    The lady laughed and shook her head, "Knowing you Mr Larson, if I give you my contact number, you would pepper me with date invitations everyday. While I would appreciate getting attention from a man like you, I would hate to keep you hanging. So no. Please understand."


    The man laughed along with her and picked up his luggage. As if on cue, a taxi arrived outside the hotel. The driver helped the man pack his luggage in the trunk, then both of them left. This whole time, Roy waited by the side of the door and watched everything play out. By his opinion, it was a nice, quiet ending. No assholes, no damsels in distress, and just the perfect amount of drama.


    "Can I help you Sir? You have been standing there for a while now." The lady directed her attention to Roy. It seemed that she noticed him earlier, but couldn''t talk to him since she was busy fending off someone''s advances.


    "Yeah I think you can." Roy came up to the desk and pulled out the print out of hotel booking. The lady looked over the document and typed something in the computer in front of her. Roy looked her over and saw the nameplate attached just above her left breast. It read "Maria Padmore". He also checked her body out and could understand why the man was so insistent on having a date with her. She had smooth skin that looked soft to touch, a pair of big breasts, a nice small waist and big hips. Roy couldn''t see her legs behind the counter, but he could imagine them being perfect. After matching the data in the screen and in the document, she smiled sweetly again and welcomed Roy to her humble hotel. She handed over two key cards to Roy and a chit containing the wifi password. Roy decided to talk with her later. He mentally decided to bed her without using any tricks on her. No bots, no inception. Purely the old fashioned way.


    Next day morning Roy reached office and met up with the customers. His job was to discuss with the customer, give them an understanding of how the software that Roy''s company made worked, and gather a detailed report of any part of the product customer wanted changed. He was guided to different rooms and introduced to many peoples. Roy could see most of them shoot a glance of doubt at him. The boss looking person excused himself and told Roy to wait outside of a conference room for a bit. Then he and the other important looking persons entered the room and closed the door behind them. Roy could hear muffled arguments in their local language coming from the room. So Roy waited a bit. But even after 10 minutes passed, they talked among themselves like he didn''t exist and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Roy was getting irritated by their behavior. But he couldn''t understand their language so he asked Mike if he could translate what they were talking about. Mike replied that he could do one better and give Roy to knowledge to read, write and speak all earth languages Mike knew.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    After a moment or two, the jumbled noise from the room suddenly turned into meaningful conversation.


    "It still doesn''t answer my question. I do not agree that such a small kid could have the expertise to cater to our needs. And you all agree with me. So my question remains. How do we make the vendor to take this kid back and send us someone with real expertise?"


    "How about this? We gather our best and pepper the kid with questions. He is bound to slip up. Then we escalate it to the owner."


    "Hmmm, that is definitely the best way. Maybe this way we could milk the vendor for some other things for the same price."


    "Let''s do it. Get the kid to the Omega 4. I will get the people from my team. You do the same."


    "Guys, did it just get colder here? I felt a shiver run down my spine."


    "Yeah, me too."


    "Me too."


    "It was probably the AC. Let''s get out and set up everything. "


    Roy moved away from the door and leaned against the opposite wall like nothings happened. However, his face was hard, devoid of any emotion. These guys were talking about him, and not in a good way. The people came out of the room and instantly felt the same chill they felt minutes ago. Thankfully, Mike was there to remind him.


    *Roy, calm down. You are subconsciously giving off a telekinetic buzz. It is stimulating their fear centers.*


    Roy broke out of his trance, and instantly the people around him felt a lot better. One man came up to him and directed to a room with "Omega 4" written on it. Roy mechanically thanked him and he was left to his own to setup things.


    Now that he was alone, Roy asked Mike, *Mike, what happened?*


    Mike shrugged, *Hard to say. Your rage was building up and you were using your telekinesis in a very peculiar way. You were subconsciously vibrating the energy around you, and the people who were in range got their fear centers stimulated. If I hadn''t stopped you, they would have fainted due to sheer fear.*


    Roy suddenly got a idea of how to get back to the people who berated him thinking he wouldn''t be able to understand their language. From what Mike described, it seemed like Roy would be able to induce fear using his telekinesis. And being the psychic ability prodigy he was, it didn''t take him long to figure out everything.


    When the people came in, they were in a jolly mood and all of them had a A4 sheet with them. Those sheets contained the questions that they would throw towards the kid and embarrass him. However, when they stepped foot inside the room, a severe cold chill ran down their spine. The kid who was writing something in the whiteboard stopped and turned to look at them. The moment their eyes met, they felt like they were stepping foot inside a tiger''s den who had been starved for 5 days, and this tiger only considered them as nothing but food. With shaky hands and feet, they stumbled a lot on their way to the desks. After that, they looked absolutely anywhere but at the kid.


    Roy mentally congratulated himself on the perfect execution of his fear aura. There were 18 people in the room, and all of them were shaking in their boots. Roy knocked on the whiteboard twice to get their attention, though none of them looked him in the eye. He slowly and firmly introduced himself,


    "I am Kaushik Roy, an expert on the software I am about to walk you guys through. Now I want to set some ground rules. When I talk, you don''t. When I speak, You pay your undivided attention to me. No phones, no chats. You do not make small talks while I am in the room. If you have a question, raise your hand and only when I allow you to, speak. When the session is in motion, you are not allowed to leave the room. Am I absolutely clear?"


    They all spoke in unison, "YES SIR.", then hurried to switch off their phones and log out of the chat rooms. And now Roy executed his next plan. He let Sam take over the presentation. She was very thorough with it, so the session sent smoothly. After that, it was lunchtime. Roy went to the food court and got himself a stew for lunch. After that, the same pattern repeated itself for the next session.


    Next day, Roy noticed some new people coming in. He knew this was gong to happen. These people were most likely the bosses of respective teams. Now that their yesterday''s plan to embarrass Roy didn''t work out, they themselves came to show the youngsters how its done. All of the new ones had a A4 sheet with them, just like yesterday. Roy smiled and went through the same routine. Put sheer irrational fear in them, and they would do anything not to wake up the beast inside the room. After the sessions, when the bosses went out of the room, they were as meek as a wet kitten.


    Within two days, Roy became famous in the customer''s office. He was dubbed as the "Tamer", as all the managers, even the hard headed ones spoke with him with utmost respect. No one dared to harass him in his sessions. All of them sat there obediently and with Sam''s thorough teaching, things progressed quickly. However Roy had a nagging feeling. He instructed Mike to infiltrate the buildings security system and monitor all the security systems. And Mike, being the obedient tool, complied.


    Two more days later, Roy was eating lunch in the food court. He normally ate alone, since he was yet to befriend anyone. Today, however, someone decided to approach him. And it was a black haired Korean beauty to boot. However, Roy knew better.


    "Hello, is this seat taken?" Roy noticed the lady wore a black dress and a black skirt, with matching black high heels. She had white skin, which contrasted well with the dress. She also had light make up on her and looked no more than 30 years old. It was easy to make out her curves through her dress. It seemed that she worked out and her figure was well defined. Roy instantly took a liking to this lady.


    Roy gestured her to sit without saying anything. She sat in front of him and placed a bowl full of salad on the table. Roy looked down to his plate. He had a slab of grilled chicken with some kind of sauce, with two sides, crispy fried potato and pasta. He looked at the lady and she was busy dressing her salad with some kind of Italian dressing. He mentally shrugged and went back to eating. The lady finished with the preparation and started eating. Both of them ate in silence, occasionally glancing at the other to see if they were going to break the ice or not. Roy waited patiently for the lady to speak. He ate slowly, letting her know that he intentionally was not speaking up. After a minute, she spoke up, "So you are the one they call tamer?"


    "Who is asking?" Roy put down his fork and looked straight in her eyes. She flinched and looked away. Roy kept looking at her unblinking. She grew flustered, as if she was trying very hard to take a decision. Roy knew the reason for her struggle.


    The nagging feeling he was having at the back of his mind turned out to be his ability. His precognition was warning him. Today morning through the security camera feeds, Mike isolated one conversation. The owner of the project felt humiliated as some kid foiled all his plans and made all his subordinates terrified of him. He called this beauty here to his office in the morning and instructed her to accuse Roy of sexual harassment. She declined, but the asshole threatened to fire her on the accusation of stealing corporate data. If she was accused of stealing data, none would hire her ever. She fearfully agreed, but now she was torn between her moral and her career.


    Roy saw her sitting there face down, on the verge of crying. Her nails dug into her hands and her knuckles turned white. Roy tried to ignore her silent struggle, but being the good guy he was, he couldn''t. He sighed internally. Damn it, he just wanted to fuck all the girls in the world and be done with it. Now he found himself here, contemplating on helping the poor girl instead of taking advantage of her. He relaxed his shoulders and softened his gaze. He reached out and held her hand. Instead of refusing it, she responded by holding him back. It seemed she needed someone to tell her what she should do, even if it was the guy she was supposed to accuse. Roy smiled and said the magic words.


    "Need a little help?"

 Book 1 Chapter 3: With great power, comes great fun: Part 6

    Her body jerked so violently that Roy thought he might have accidentally electrocuted her somehow. She looked up and straight into his eyes, searching for a joke, or lie. When she didn''t find any, she looked down again, and Roy saw the teardrops falling.


    "Please." Roy could make out an almost inaudible whisper, "Please help me. I don''t know what I should do. I will do anything. Please. Help me, help me..."


    She kept repeating the last two words again and again. Roy went around the table and pulled her closer to him. She held onto his shirt and kept crying silently. Roy kept using his fear aura so that none would disturb them. Of course, he kept the lady from being affected by the aura.


    After what felt like an eternity, which in reality was no more than a few minutes, she stopped crying and only hiccuped occasionally. Roy ran his hands on her back in an attempt to soothe her, which actually worked. After a few minutes, she separated from him and grabbed a napkin. Roy was surprised to see no smudged make up on her face. It seemed she was that much beautiful without wearing too much make up. Roy mentally gave her a thumbs-up.


    She quickly dried her eyes, and after a few minutes returned to normal. Roy went back to his seat and resumed his lunch. After a bite or two, Roy noticed that she wasn''t eating. Rather she kept looking at him quite intensely. Roy put down his fork and asked, "Aren''t you hungry?"


    Roy was quite surprised when she cutely accused him, "You said you will help me." Roy even laughed at her cute expressions.


    She puffed up her cheeks, whether in anger or in frustration Roy didn''t know. However, it was quite comical to look at. He put his elbow on the table and leaned towards her. She backed off on her chair as much as she could. Roy asked his next question with as much seriousness as he could muster, "No, I asked if you needed any help. And if I remember correctly, you said you will do anything for my help. So this is my question to you. What you will do to get my help?"


    She visibly deflated and began to fiddle with her fingers. A minute she spoke up, "I can... give you money?"


    "I have money. Think of something else."


    "I can... give a tour of the city?"


    "Deal."


    "I can give... wait what did you just say?"


    Roy smiled and repeated his words, "I said deal. I help you with your predicament, and you will give me a tour of the city."


    She stumbled with her words for a minute and took some time to process what happened just now. One moment she was happy, then the next moment she was cautious, "You would help me just for a tour of the city? Are you sure?"


    "Let me rephrase my words so that it might seem more truthful to you. I will help you and in return, I will get you all to myself, all dressed up and looking sexy for a whole day. Does this seem more believable?"


    "You promise you will not do anything weird to me?"


    "No promise. I will do whatever I want to you. That is the deal."


    Needless to say, Roy wasn''t planning to drag her bed right off the bat. But he wanted to make sure he would at least be able to touch her. If he could do that, their date would go much smoother. She was, however, having a difficult time to decide. Roy ignored her and resumed eating. Roy was at his last bite when she spoke up.


    "Okay. But at least promise me not to do anything extreme to me, please?"


    Roy put the last bite in his mouth and chewed while looking at her. He took his time chewing and she was growing red, probably due to the tension of the situation. Roy gulped down his food and raised his right hand, "I promise not to kiss you on the lips, touch your breasts or grab your hips unless you tell me to do it."


    She giggled a little, "All right. I suppose that will have to do. Wait till I finish my lunch. Then you can tell me how you are planning to help me."


    She hurriedly ate her salad and they both left the food court. She brought him to a nearby small park and they sat down a bench. They sat in silence for a minute, enjoying the cool breeze blowing by. She was the first to speak, "I guess you already knew what I was supposed to do today."


    Roy gave a short reply, "Yes."


    She looked at him smiling and asked, "And I guess I shouldn''t ask you how?"


    Roy gave her a small smile, "Your guess is correct."


    She turned to face him and wanted to ask something when she remembered one crucial details, "I just remembered. I don''t even know your name. Oh where are my manners. My name is Suu Jin. My friends call me Suu."


    She extended her right hand for a shake. Roy laughed and took it, "Finally remembered, did you? I was wondering when you will remember. I am Kaushik Roy. You can call me Roy."


    They made some small talks. It turned out that Suu was in this country with a work permit. Her parents were staying in Korea with her two elder brothers. She was staying in a rented apartment alone on the outskirts of the city. In turn Roy told her that both of his parents passed away. He was currently in a business visa. He made up a story that he had a scary presentation face which only comes out when he gives presentation, which made the sessions smooth and got dubbed as the tamer. She told him how she received the order from the owner to accuse him which Roy already knew, and she repeatedly apologized to him for agreeing with the asshole. She asked Roy what kind of help he needs from her. To which Roy waved her off and said that he would handle everything.


    They walked back to the office and parted ways soon after exchanging contact number. Roy asked around a bit and reached the owner''s office. He turned on his fear aura and got into the owner''s room. He neither asked for permission to enter, nor did he knock. He opened the door and simply walked in. He consciously made sure that he was out of the fear aura. And as expected, the owner got furious at someone so blatantly disrespecting him. However, his fury got cut short as soon as Roy expanded the fear aura to include him.


    Roy coldly looked the owner in the eye and took slow steps towards him. The owner was transfixed in his place, a look of sheer terror on his face. Only he knew what he was seeing right now, but Roy concluded it had to be something straight out of a nightmare. He spoke in a barely audible whisper, but he was sure the owner heard him as if a demon was speaking to him.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    "Do you know why I am here?"


    "N-No."


    Roy mentally commended the man. No wonder he was the owner of such a big company. Years of experience made him somewhat resistant towards fear. But here was the beauty of irrational fear. You can''t fight it. But you also can''t flee from it. All you can do is cower and pray to god that it didn''t direct it''s attention towards you. Roy leaned on the desk and said,


    "There are two things you should know. One, I like my tea hot. Second, I hate liars."


    With the last sentence, Roy directed all his fear aura towards the man. The owner fell off from the chair and pissed himself. He put his hands in front of him like a defensive wall and exclaimed, "I am sorry. Please forgive me. I will never do it again. I swear I will be good. Please spare me."


    Roy turned off his fear aura and the man kept rambling for a minute or two before realizing that the threat was gone. he looked around the room and flinched again when he discovered Roy was still in the room. Roy kept looking at him and the owner didn''t dare move a muscle. After a minute of standoff, Roy turned and spoke over his shoulder, "This time I will let you off the hook. Next time, I will not be so lenient." Having said that, Roy walked out of the room. However, Roy made one mistake. Fear was something that was ever present in human. And while they might shake in their boots in front of it, once it was out of their hair, they would go back being the human they were.


    The owner sat on the floor for a minute and spoke to himself, "Kid, you are quite intimidating, I will give you that. However, this is corporate and I stand at a level you can''t even hope to reach. Your career is forfeit. I will make sure of it."


    If it was any other people, they would have had some drama shoved up their ass. Thankfully, Roy wasn''t just any other people. Mike notified him of the failure of his plan and the revenge the owner swore on him. Roy just shook his head and went for plan B. When he leaned on the desk, he left a bit of Mike there. He instructed that part to latch onto the owner and follow him to his home. He went to the daily planned session and then went home.


    That evening when the owner went home, Roy instructed Mike to scan his home. It was a big 3 bedroom apartment, with many appliances. He had a wife and two sons who were attending school. Roy instructed Mike to electronically destroy every appliances in their home. TV, AC, refrigerator, and anything that used electric. He also instructed Mike to disable their car, by destroying the car engine. And as expected, next day the owner reached the office way past the time, angry and simmering. And when the afternoon coffee was delivered to his room, Roy instructed Mike to change it''s properties to a potent aphrodisiac. Then used inception on the mildly attractive janitor lady to go clean the owner''s office while keeping two of her shirt buttons open. After waiting for 5 mins, used inception on a random girl to go meet the owner so that she could help out the janitor lady. Then he watched the drama unfold.


    The owner woke up in the morning way before his normal time because he was feeling unusually hot. He was sweating like a pig. After mashing some buttons on the AC remote, he discovered that it wasn''t working anymore. Grumbling he woke up and grabbed his phone to call someone who could fix the AC. Then he discovered that his phone wasn''t working as well. Then he opened his refrigerator to grab a cool bottle of water only to discover it also wasn''t working. And gradually he and his wife discovered nothing that used electric was working anymore. Then he came down from his apartment to go to office. He got into his car, only to find out that it gave a large blasting sound when he started the engine and then went silent, smoke coming out of it. He had to take a cab to office. Then in the afternoon, the janitor lady came in his office to clean. He always found that lady attractive, but always restrained himself. But today after everything that happened, he wanted something good to happen. To top it off, she also had two of her shirt buttons open, showing enough of her ample cleavage. This had to be a signal that she wanted this as well, right?


    Roy watched as the owner grabbed the janitor lady and tried to kiss her. She shrieked like a banshee and shoved him off. Roy didn''t expect her to be able to do that. It seemed that sending her a bit more support was unnecessary. Roy used inception on the owner telling him that it was his right to have his way with the janitor bitch. He was her employer and he had every right to do whatever he wanted with her. The janitor lady ran out of the room while dialing a number on her phone, which Roy assumed as the police. The owner came out of his room, screaming obscenities, if she didn''t come back, she would be fired and what not. The whole office was standing and looking at the owner in disbelief. The owner looked around and his eyes locked on one of the pretty girls. He ordered the girl to immediately come to his room. The girl stood rooted in one place and could only shake her head in fear. The owner didn''t like that and took a threatening step towards her. Roy readied himself to intercept the man, but it wasn''t necessary. Several of the other male employees restrained the owner and kept him from doing anything until the police came. Police put the screaming owner in cuffs, took some report from the eyewitnesses, and assured that he was in for a long time in jail.


    After police was done, office was closed for the day. Roy was packing his things when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He didn''t turn as he already knew who it was, "Hey Suu. How are you doing?"


    Suu Jin was surprised. She walked around in front of him and asked, "How did you know it was me?"


    Roy smiled and winked at her, "I would always know. You are my favorite out of all the Korean girls I know."


    She instantly retorted, "I am the ONLY Korean girl you know."


    He nodded, "You are correct. However, that doesn''t make my statement invalid."


    They bantered to and fro for a minute like two old friends who had known each other for a long time. When she realized this, she suddenly stopped speaking and grew bashful. Roy finished packing his things. He picked up his bag and held out one hand to her, waiting for her to take it. She realized what he was doing and bashfully extended her own to hold onto his. Roy intertwined their fingers and pulled her along.


    They were silent on the way. Roy stopped at a coffee shop. He ordered one coffee for her and one tea for him. After the coffee arrived, she spoke up, "Thank you for the help. But how did you do it?"


    Roy kept sipping his tea for some time while he formulated a story to tell her. She patiently waited for him to speak up. He spoke after some time, "Truth to be told, I have no idea why did he do what he did today. Yesterday all I did was, I went to his room and put on my scary presentation face. Then threatened to cut ties with him if he pushed the matter. That''s all I did."


    She immediately chimed in, "I heard something happened at his home today. Maybe he was frustrated and that flipped his mind?"


    They spent some time together discussing probable causes for the incident, each one more improbable than the previous one. The last one was he was possessed by a ghost and the it was making him do those things. She told him that she was going to a night club with some of her friends. She asked if he would be interested to come. Roy had no reason to refuse.


    They met up at a train station after two hours. Roy was dressed in a jeans and t-shirt. Suu Jin was wearing a red dress and red high heel. They were joined by some more guys and girls and then they set off for the night club. It seemed only Suu was single. Rest were couples. Her friends were nice people, and they were surprised when Roy told them that he could speak Korean. The guys cheered for Roy being able to melt Suu, to which Suu could only cutely protest. The girls tried to interrogate Roy on his relationship with Suu, but thankfully she was there to help him out. They drank and danced until midnight, then the guys picked up their drunk girlfriends and said goodbye. Suu was also drunk, and could not coherently say her address. Roy decided to bring her to his room for the night.


    On the way to the room, Roy noticed Maria, the receptionist lady of his hotel was sitting at the counter. Her head was on the desk and when Roy got close, he could hear her steady breathing, indicating that she was sleeping. He remembered that she said she was the only employee here except the housekeepers. She must have been terribly tired. If Roy didn''t already have a drunk girl to worry about, he would have looked after her. For now, he only shook her awake and told her to go rest in her room. She thanked him and Roy went on his way.


    Inside the room, Roy stripped Suu off the clothes including her underwear which were soaked in sweat. He himself also stripped down and put both their cloths in the washing machine. Then Roy put her in the bath tub and turned on the water. He scrubbed her down as much as he could, then dried her and put her in bed. He also had a quick shower to get rid of the sweat and got into the bed with her. He pulled her close to him and went to sleep.


    Next morning, Roy awoke to the smell of breakfast. He opened his eyes to see Suu making food wearing only just an apron. He slipped down from the bed and stealthily made his way behind her. She just broke one egg on the pan and was waiting for it to set. It was the perfect time to attack.


    Without warning, Roy slipped his arm around her and grabbed her tightly so that she didn''t flail her hands in a panic. Then he quickly kissed her cheek. She let out a squeal of surprise, but couldn''t move since he was holding onto her. When she calmed down, Roy let go of her, but not before kissing her cheek one more time. She whirled around and let loose a punch. However Roy easily evaded it. She thrust her finger accusingly, "You promised not to do weird things to me."


    Still laughing, Roy answered, "I promised not to kiss you on the lips, touch your breasts, or grab your ass. I didn''t break my promise."


    Still cutely angry and puffed up, she accused, "Who grabs a lady to the point she can''t move then forcibly kisses her?"


    Roy retorted, "Which lady wears only an apron while cooking?"


    Suu was going to retort, but realized that he was correct, "I am, aren''t I?" She twirled around and asked, "Like what you see?"


    Roy wiggled his fingers, "You need another kiss to convince you?"


    They joked around some more and Roy freshened up. Then they had breakfast. After that Suu promised she would take him out a city tour tomorrow and left. Roy walked her out of the hotel and waited till she got in the cab before heading in.


    He noticed something odd. He looked around and noticed immediately. Maria wasn''t at the reception desk today. That was odd. Roy felt a bit uneasy. Yesterday she was so tired, so he decided to check up on her. He already had Mike take over the building''s security system before, so he knew she lived in a room on the ground floor whose entrance was at the back of the hotel. He went around and rang the doorbell. But none opened the door. Roy asked Mike and he confirmed that Maria didn''t come out after she had gone into the room last night. Worried, Roy used telekinesis to open the door from the inside. There he found Maria on the bathroom floor, lying in her own vomit and piss.


    Roy instructed Mike to put up a air filtration system in his nose. He picked up Maria via telekinesis and put her in the bath tub. Then he cleaned the floor by telekinetically grabbing the shower head and spraying on the floor. He noticed that she had a high fever. He gave her a quick shower, both to wash off the stench of vomit and piss, and to lower her temperature. Then he transferred her to bed and injected her with Mike. With the help of Mike, he found no abnormalities with her. It seemed she only collapsed due to overworking. He had Mike control her temperature and then he got to cooking.

 Book 1 Chapter 3: With great power, comes great fun: Last Part

    Maria Padmore was the current owner of a small serviced apartment. Her parents were the previous owner of it. However after they grew old, they passed on the ownership to Maria. She was a bit of wild child back in her teens. One of the good looking man took a liking to her and she liked him too. He liked her wild side and her willingness to try out new things in bed. They married and had a son, Chris Padmore. However, this was where they started to drift apart. Maria started to become more restrained and her wild side turned to motherly love, trying to look after her son. She grew distant from her husband and soon, they divorced.


    She didn''t ask for any money from him. The man sometimes dropped by and took care of Chris. However, that stopped when he got married to another woman.


    Maria didn''t marry again. With the responsibility of managing the whole serviced apartment, looking after her kid and her old parents, she didn''t have any time to herself. On top of that, her employees started to resign because they weren''t happy with the salary they were getting. She couldn''t raise their salary because they were a small business and soon, she was the only one left except the four housekeepers.


    Today was also one of her "normal" days. She woke up at dawn, made breakfast, sent Chris to school. Her parents were staying at their old house. Chris wanted to go see his grandparents, so tonight she would have some time to catch up on sleep. She missed her lunch because she spent the whole day on the counter. Today lots of people checked-out and lots checked-in. At the evening, she got some free time to get some snacks. Then she felt a bit sick, probably due to missed lunch. She decided to get a bit shut-eye on the counter.


    During mid-night, the only Indian man who was staying in her serviced apartment shook her awake. She groggily woke up and checked her watch. It was way past the time for dinner. She looked up and was mildly surprised to see him princess carry a Korean woman like she was as light as feather. There were no signs of exhaustion on his face. He told her to go sleep in bed as it was quite late. He looked like he would have said something else if he didn''t have a passed out woman on his arms. She closed down and headed towards her room. In her exhaustion and tiredness, she however failed to notice one thing. How could Roy shake her awake, if he was princess carrying Suu?


    She started to feel the wave of sickness the moment she entered her room. At first, it was bearable. She drank some water and some medicine. Then she went into the bathroom to freshen up. And things immediately started to go south. She didn''t have a chance to go to the basin before she started to vomit. Her vision went blurry and she slipped on her own vomit on the floor. She lost control of her bladder and let everything out. The last thing that she could utter before fainting was, "Someone... Help... Me..."


    She awoke to find herself on her bed. There was someone cooking in the kitchen. She thought it might have been her mother. However, there was an unknown man she never saw before. A burglar? Alarms in her head flared up. She looked at the door to see it was locked, to the windows to see it was closed and intact. She grew confused. How did this man get in? She rubbed her eyes in case it was her father and she was seeing things.


    "How are you feeling?", Roy long ago noticed her presence, but he was focusing on the omelet so that he didn''t burn it. After it was done, he transferred it to a plate and turned around.


    "AHHHH", she shouted pointing her finger at him, "You''re that Indian man. Emmm, what was your name again? Boutique Boy?"


    Roy couldn''t hold his laughter and laughed out heartily. He kept laughing and after some time, she started to grow red. She cutely threw out excuses that it was not possible for her to remember the name of everyone, but Roy kept laughing. This was the first time someone had messed up his name and that too in such a splendid way. When he could control his laughter, he noticed that Maria stood there with a pouty face and teary eyes. She was wearing only a white shirt and panties. Her legs were bare and toned. The sunlight fell on her back, illuminating her full figure under the shirt. She was looking like one helluva sexy and maybe a bit ditzy MILF if Roy had anything to say about it.


    She noticed his gaze, and finally remembered there was someone in her house who was not suppossed to be there. "How did you get in here?"


    Roy explained the situation with a bit of lie mixed in. He told her that when he couldn''t find her at the counter, he was worried. So he hacked into her reception computer, gave himself access to her room and came to check up on her. He also explained the situation he found her in and he cleaned her up.


    "Thank you for helping me out. But I think you should go now. I will be able to handle the rest of the things. I will also need to get back to the counter. I am already running late." Though she was thankful to the man, she couldn''t allow a stranger to remain in her house. In the recent stories she heard about Indian men, there was nothing good. They only seemed like predators who prey on weak women. And as of right now, she was very weak.


    "Nuh-uh. That ain''t happening." Roy immediately refused her and she uncomfortably shifted in her place. For a moment, she considered running to her phone and dialing the police, but she was still very weak. Roy noticed her posture and was thankful that she didn''t run for the phone. But he had to do something to diffuse the tension in her.


    "It''s OK." Roy put up his hands in air and slowly walked towards her. She stood rooted into one place, stiff as a board, panic evident in her eyes. Roy took care not to make any sudden movement. He slowly walked towards her and gently took her hands in his own. Then he looked into her eyes and resolutely declared.


    "I swear on my pride as the Contact Person that I will not hurt you, steal from you, or take advantage of your weakened state. I know that I am a stranger to you and you have every right to doubt me. Maybe nothing I say can convince you otherwise, but I can say this. If right now, you choose to trust me and let me take care of you, you will not regret it."


    They both stood there, looking into each others eyes. Her eyes looking for any deceit, and his eyes giving off the feeling of peace. Maria slowly intertwined their fingers, and asked, "Why would you help me?"


    His lips curled up into a smile, one that spoke of abundant confidence he possessed, "Because I am able to."


    She immediately asked her next question, "Do you want me to sleep with you as thanks?"


    Roy smiled changed from that of confidence to that of slyness, "I will very much like that. However, I understand that you had not let a man explore your caves for a long time. So for now, I will settle down for a nice blowjob. We can take things slow from there."


    She giggled, all of her seriousness gone from her voice. Roy felt her grip becoming a bit loose and she suddenly wavered a bit. He immediately freed his hands and held onto her waist and back to support her. She leaned onto him, every ounce of strength leaving her body. He gently picked her up in a princess carry and put her to bed. Then he completed making a simple breakfast and made sure she ate everything. She wanted to go to work, but one stern look from Roy made her crawl back into the bed and go to sleep.


    Roy went to his room and put on the best cloths he had. He didn''t have a suit, so it would have to do. Then he rushed back to the counter and discovered some people already waiting for the receptionist. Roy took a minute to understand the system, then he handled the customers, using inception as and when required. At the evening, he closed up and went back to Maria''s room to check up on her. She recovered a lot resting the whole day. Despite her protest, Roy made her rest and cooked a simple dinner. After the dinner, Roy went back to his room.


    As the business owner was arrested and the office would remain closed until a replacement for him was found, Roy didn''t have to worry about going to office. Next morning, he came down after having breakfast and saw Maria standing behind the counter. He walked over and exchanged pleasantries. Then Roy asked why she was the only one to man the counter. She explained that this hotel being small, she could not give big salary to the employees, and she didn''t have much money to renovate the hotel. They had space to expand the hotel, but the issue of money was there. He decided to strike a deal with her. If she gave him 49% share of the profit, he would take care of the expansion and everything for her. She was a bit skeptical, and asked for some time to think about it. Roy told her that she has time until he returns to India.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Roy texted Suu asking where she was. She texted back saying that she was busy and she will take Roy for the promised tour on day after tomorrow. They texted back and forth a bit, enjoying the witty comments both threw at each other. Since Roy was free for 2 days, he decided to simply be lazy for today. He will go do something tomorrow.


    Next morning, Roy got ready and left his room quite early. He went to a nearby amusement park. There was a lot of things to do for adults, like roller coasters, obstacle courses, bungy jumping and many more. Roy one by one tried them all. At the end of the day, he decided to go to the obstacle course.


    He bought a ticket from the front office. A small girl in the uniform helped him put on a safety harness. Then a small car took him and other participating peoples on top of small hill. Upon reaching there, Roy saw there was three obstacle courses, all at a varying elevation level from the ground. The first one was only at one meter height from the ground and it was quite easy. Second one was five meter elevation and was a bit harder than the previous one. Third one was at 10 meter elevation and it was the hardest course.


    Roy bought the whole set of courses, so he was entitled to go on all of the courses. On the first and second course, there was no people. Roy finished those two course with such speed that even the staffs there were dumbfounded. Some of the staffs came upto Roy and asked him if he was some professional, or something. They were again pleasantly surprised when Roy spoke to the each individual in their own language. He chatted with them for a bit and exchanged numbers.


    On the third course, Roy saw a kid on the course. But he was not moving. He looked around a bit and saw Maria at the bottom of the course, shouting encouraging words to the kid. He understood that the kid was the son Maria was talking about.


    Roy came behind the kid and saw what was the problem. The next obstacle was a gap. Two planks of woods were there, but one would have to jump if they wanted to progress. The gap was small for an adult, but quite big for a kid. The kid was afraid of taking the jump and was crying. Maria was shouting things like, "You can do it, Chris.", "Just believe in yourself and jump.", "Don''t worry, mommy is here.", but nothing was working. The kid was scared out of his mind.


    Looking at this scene, Roy had a new found respect for this woman. She single handed took care of so many responsibilities, and still took her kid to a amusement park. He looked at the kid. Standing behind him, he could feel the kid''s inner turmoil. Roy just knew that it was this kids own idea to come onto the hardest obstacle course. Else he would have turned back a long time ago.


    Looking at the kid, Roy was reminded of himself all those years ago. He remember all those people who came upto him with opportunities. All he had to do was take the leap. How many opportunities had he let go simply because he was afraid to make the jump? Afraid that his parents would beat him? Afraid that his neighbors will laugh? Afraid that he would fail? His stare hardened. He would not let this kid make the same mistake he made all those years ago. He will help this kid.


    Roy walked over and squatted down beside the kid. Maria had not noticed Roy. She was now shouting for the staff members to take her son back to safety. Roy tapped the kid on his shoulder.


    "Hey Kid, what''s your name?"


    "Chr-chris Padmore."


    "Hello Chris. I am Roy. That lady there is your mom?"


    "Yes."


    "Why are you afraid of jumping?"


    "I am afraid of heights."


    "Do you love your mom?"


    Chris nodded his head.


    "Do you want her to be disappointed? She is encouraging you so much."


    "I know. But I am a coward."


    Roy paused. He carefully looked at Chris and analyzed his words. He didn''t say that he was scared. He said he is a coward as if he truly believed himself to be one.


    "I always knew how hard mom works. If I was a bit more brave, I could have helped her out", Chris was crying hard now, "I wanted mom to be proud of me. I wanted this course so that I could show her, but, but..."


    Roy smiled. At least this kid had his heart in the right place. He grabbed Chris and hugged him strongly. Chris stopped crying after he initiated this abrupt gesture. Roy separated from Chris after he stopped crying. Roy gave him a minute and stated.


    "See that lady in the uniform coming behind me?"


    Chris looked behind Roy and nodded.


    "The way I see it, you have two choices." Roy held up one finger, "First, you let your fear control you. Stay here and let the lady take you back to safety. And you will remain a coward." Roy held up two fingers, and looked deeply into Chris''s eyes, "Second, you take control of your fear. Take that jump and win over your fears." Roy stood up a took a step back, "You have until that lady reaches you to decide. Remember, success comes only after you win over your fears."


    Roy stopped and looked at the Chris. He was taking deep breaths now, looking back and forth between the gap and Roy. The staff was coming take Chris back and was shouting, "Please sir, stay where you are. I will come and get you. Everything will be okay." Chris was still unsure of himself, so Roy thought of give him one last push. "Last ten seconds to decide. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, last five, four, thre"


    Chris let out a war cry and took a running start. The staff lady almost reached him, and she was startled by his shout. Roy was grinning. Chris jumped and cleared the gap, but messed up the landing. He stumbled and fell off from the platform.


    Maria and the staff lady both gasped in shock, both forgetting that Chris had a safety harness on him, which was connected to a line above him. Chris hurt his leg on the edge of the platform while falling and cried out in pain. Maria went hysteric and shouted to the staff lady to help Chris. The staff lady jumped into the action, but Roy help up his hand to block her. He calmly ordered.


    "Get up boy."


    Roy spoke in a very calm manner, but Chris snapped his attention at Roy at once and the staff lady also looked at him curiously.


    "You took the first step at not being a coward. Now finish that step. Remember, success comes," Roy stopped.


    "only after you win over your fears." Chris finished his sentence. He took deep breath to control his stinging right knee.


    Roy whispered to the staff lady, low enough that only she could hear him "Give him a chance." She looked at Roy for a minute and then nodded, "Alright, but if he doesn''t make it, I will be taking him back."


    Chris was always a bit too much on the lean side, so he was always being picked on in the school. Since she was always busy and he didn''t have a father figure, he couldn''t confide into anyone about his fear. She learned about the bullying too late and the damage was already done. Her sweet little boy deemed himself as a coward, and no amount of cheering could convince him otherwise. Today was one of those cheering days. At first she was very happy that Chris himself suggested the hardest obstacle course. She thought he at last had come out of his shell. But her smile only stayed until the jump obstacle. But she didn''t give up hope. She kept cheering. She had hope that he would be able to do it. But she had to give up after reality of the situation set in after a while. And out of nowhere, he jumped. She was dumb founded. Just from where did he get that courage? Bah, who cares. Her happiness soon turned to dread as he slipped. She couldn''t understand why that bitch wasn''t helping despite being just a few paces away. She soon understood why.


    Unknown to Maria, tears were streaming down her face. She wasn''t sad, rather these tears were that of relief. She watched with blurry eyes as her son struggled to get up on the platform on his own. He struggled to get a hold of the other side of the platform. When he did, he couldn''t keep his hold since his palms were sweaty. But he didn''t give up. Again he tried and this time, he kept holding onto the ledge with all his strength. Then he tried to get his right leg onto the platform. He couldn''t since he didn''t have the necessary flexibility or the strength. He switched tactics. He swang his body and started gathering momentum. Then with a single jerk, he lodged his right foot on the platform. Then using his hands and foot as leverage, he rolled himself onto the platform.


    After catching his breath, he sat up on the platform, pumped his fist towards the sky, and shouted.


    "YEAAAAAAAAH. DID YOU SEE MOM? DID YOU SEE? I AM NOT A COWARD ANYMORE."


    Chris looked down at Maria. He was bleeding from his right knee and right elbow, but he didn''t pay attention to them. Maria''s legs gave out and she sat down on the ground. She choked on her next words, but everyone could hear her words very clearly.


    "I am proud of you."


    Chris looked at Roy and stood back up in a military attention pose. Roy looked at him and gave him what he deserved.


    An approving nod.


    Chris awkwardly gave him a salute, but he kept standing there like he was waiting for the next order. Roy smiled and spoke one word which would change the life of this kid forever.


    "Go."


    Chris turned and proceeded with the obstacle course. Roy also turned to the staff lady and said, "Come on. We should go back."


    The lady looked at him, then to Chris, then to Roy and said, "Maybe I should stay. To ensure his safety and all."


    Roy put his hands on her waist and turned her, "No need. From this moment on, he will take care of himself."


    The lady and Roy came back to the safe zone where she proceeded to take of his safety harness. When it was done and Roy was leaving, she called back.


    "How did you know he would be able to do it?"


    Roy turned to look at her, and smiled, "I didn''t. But I had faith."


    She gave him a disbelieving look, "That''s not an answer."


    Roy took a deep breath and looked at Chris, who was struggling with the next obstacle, a beam of wood suspended in the air by ropes. He was making progress, albeit very slowly. Then he looked back at the lady and answered, "Because I saw myself in him. He was never a coward. All he needed, was the push."


    With that said, Roy left the lady alone. He was in a three story building and to get out he needed to go to ground floor. When he reached the ground floor, he heard the lady shout,"Hold up." Roy turned to see she was hurriedly coming down, skipping two or three stairs at a time. She reached him a bit out of breath and shoved a piece of folded paper in his hands. Then she said, "I get off work at 4 PM." Then ran back upstairs.


    Roy opened the folded paper and saw a contact number written there. He read her name and chuckled to himself, "Lawan, huh? Well, she is indeed beautiful." He checked his watch. It was 2 PM.


    Roy went outside to check on Maria. She somewhat now composed herself, and was now sitting on one of the benches. Roy sat down beside her and looked at the direction she was looking at. Needless to say, she was watching Chris. Without looking at Roy, she said,


    "Thank you, for looking out for my son."


    "Oh? You noticed it was me?"


    "Truth to be told, I didn''t notice you at first before. I only noticed you when you and that girl was returning. I recognized your shirt."


    Roy looked down and noticed he was wearing the same shirt he was wearing when he helped out Maria two days ago.


    ¡°You remembered?¡±


    "I am a Chris''s mother. If I don''t watch what he is wearing, he will wear the same shirt for a year straight."


    They both laughed and returned to watching Chris. He was at the last obstacle now. He was dead tired and tried to catch his breath. But Roy noticed the fire in his eyes had not diminished. Roy looked at Maria and saw her relaxed, as if she knew that now her little son had transformed into a little knight. After a while, he crossed the last obstacle and Lawan had to carry him back to ground level. He had become somewhat of a celebrity. The staff members arranged for a cab for Maria and Chris to go home. Maria insisted that Roy also come with them, but he politely refused as he had a date.


    After they were gone and Lawan returned to work after giving him a playful wink, Roy had some time to himself. He called out to Mike.


    *Hey Mike. You alive?*


    *Yes.*


    *I am not cut out to be the bad guy, am I?*


    *Frank would not have chosen you otherwise.*


    They say you can only discover yourself when you set foot into the unknown. Who said that? Roy had no idea. It was probably some good-looking author writing some fantasy story. But it was true. One can only determine whether a man was good or bad, after that man was put into a unknown territory. Roy understood. Even though he may cook up schemes which might be categorized by the society as evil, he could never be truly evil. At worst, he might become a chaotic good, but in the end, good.

 Book 1 Chapter 4: First Blood: part 1

    At 4:10 PM, Roy called the number he got from the obstacle course lady. They went for a date at a nearby restaurant. She made it clear that she didn''t love him or anything. She just liked confident men, and he made her horny. After the dinner, she quickly dragged him to a love hotel. From the reaction of the receptionist, Roy could tell Lawan was a frequent customer there. They booked a room for the whole night. She was practically dragging Roy behind her as she made her way to the room. They got in the room and Lawan quickly undressed him, evident she had a lot of practice with undressing men. However, she was a bit disappointed after seeing his not so toned body. By working out in a gym vigorously for a month, he had gained some muscle. But he still had generous amounts of fat on him, mainly because he never went on a diet.


    "How did I miss your big belly?" She straight forward asked Roy. She wanted someone who could fuck her brains out, not a lump of fat who would give up after two pumps. As such, she didn''t care about his pride or anything. If she wasn''t getting a stiff fuck, she was out.


    Roy let his actions do the talking. He reached up to her shirt and unbuttoned them. Lawan stood there unmoving, watching and evaluating his actions. He took off her shirt, then went behind her. With one hand, he cupped her breast and slid his other hand into her pants. Then he kissed her ear and trailed down kisses down to her neck. A small moan left her lips and she moved her hands, one to caress his face which was nuzzling her neck, other to overlap the one searching her chamber of secrets.


    They continued this foreplay for a second or two longer, then she pushed him off. She took off her pants and underwear and stood in front of him in all her glory. Lawan was toned, with enough amount of muscle, result of working for a long time on the obstacle course. She had small, but firm breasts, a flat belly, and generous hips. She was in stark contrast with Roy, who was plump. She moved both her hands behind her head and moved her hips to the side, posing sexily. Roy took a minute to admire her form.


    "Like what you see?" Her gaze looked like a teacher''s who was grading her students exam.


    "It shows." Roy answered something she didn''t expect.


    "What shows?" She was confused.


    "You are a hard worker and it shows."


    She took slow, exaggerated steps and came up to Roy. Then she put on finger on his chest and declared.


    "Since you managed to turn me on, I will give you one chance to impress me tonight. Let me feel with my body what you are made of."


    Roy gave one of his confident smiles and grabbed onto her waist. He guided her to the bath and they both took a shower, playfully washing each other. Roy gave her a head massage that made her purr with pleasure, and she gave him a naughty wash. After they dried each other off, Roy took her hand and guided her to the bed. When they came near the bed, she gave him a playful push and he obeyed. She knelt down in front of him and took a hold of his hard dick. She ran her hands up and down once.


    "Average. I had dicks twice your size. You sure you are upto the task?"


    Normally, this statement would shatter the pride of most men. However, Roy was no mere man. He grabbed her waist and effortlessly lifted her off. He manipulated his telekinetic ability in such a way that it seemed like he was using his muscles, and that surprised Lawan. It seemed that she didn''t expect him to be this strong. He gently put her to bed on her back and spread her legs open. She understood what he was going to do and relaxed herself. Roy dove between her legs and kissed just on top her entrance, making her shiver with anticipation of what to come. He gently parted her pussy lips and licked her once. She was somewhat wet, but not enough. Roy got to work with his tongue. He licked around her entrance, sometimes pushing his tongue in and moving it around, sometimes he flicked her big cilt with his tongue, sometimes he lightly sucked on it. And within a minute, she was writhing around. Roy grabbed her leg from under her and pulled her up. Her hips were in up in the air, her back was resting on his front and her shoulder was on the bed. He held her hands in place by putting them under his knee. Then he grabbed her leg by the back of her knee and stretched them to either side, immobilizing them. Then he resumed his assault on her pussy.


    She was screaming now, unable to move as she wanted. Somehow she found that it was turning her on more than ever. The feeling of being restrained, no one had done that to her before. Specifically, no one was strong enough to put her into this vulnerable state. And now she was in this position, completely at his mercy as he lapped away at her most secret of places. She could feel his cock pressing against her back. Even though it was average sized, it was so hard. The feeling of a hard cock on her back, coupled with the assault on her pussy quickly drove her over the edge and she screamed as loud as she could.


    Her mind was hazy from being eaten out so thoroughly. She felt Roy letting her down, then flipping her onto her stomach. A feeling of something hard poking at her pussy told her of unspoken promises to be fulfilled. She was afraid of it and tried to weakly protest.


    "Wa-wa-wait, I-I..."


    She couldn''t even properly start her protest. She gasped loudly when she felt his hard dick coming in. The feeling of it was something she never felt with any other men. The usual discomfort she always felt when taking in big dicks was nowhere to be felt. Instead, she felt a strong jolt coming from the base of her spine and it quickly traveled through her spine, reaching deep into her brain. In response, she unconsciously squeezed her pussy tighter and Roy groaned a bit. He started pumping her slowly, experimentally varying the thrust angles. She moaned with various degree of intensity, and Roy determined that she moaned the loudest whenever he rubbed against near her entrance. He started focusing on that part and her moans gradually started to turn into screams. Roy was careful not to grind too hard. Only after she was begging Roy for the release, he increased his pace and gave her what she wanted, a thick load of semen.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform.

    She laid there with her tongue lolling out. Her face was that of pure bliss. Her eyes wasn''t focusing anywhere and she occasionally twitched, signaling she was basking in the afterglow. Roy waited for her to get her bearing, but after a while he discovered she was asleep. He transfer some of Mike onto her and told him to clean her and the bed both. He himself got up and took a shower. By the time he came back, both Lawan and the bed was sparkly clean. He pulled sleeping Lawan onto his chest and went to sleep. She unconsciously entangled her legs with his and nuzzled into his neck. Roy gave her pert ass one last squeeze and went to sleep.


    Next morning, he woke up to a pleasant feeling to his lower region. Opening his eyes, he saw Lawan lick his dick hungrily, like it was the world''s sweetest candy. Noticing that he was awake, she only stopped to flash him a sexy grin then resumed licking him. When she was satisfied , she got up and rode him in cowgirl position as hard as she could. Roy let her do what she wanted and enjoyed the sight of her bouncing so sexily on him. He didn''t hold himself back and came fairly quickly. She came along with him and plopped on him with a satisfied grin. Roy put his hands on her thighs and enjoyed the soft feeling.


    After a minute or two, she got up and playfully hit him on the chest. Roy pretended to be hurt and rubbed the place she hit. She slowly ran her hands on his big belly and muttered, "Damn it. Why such a sweet dick is attached to a man with 5 month pregnant belly?"


    Roy laughed, "I work out a lot. But I also eat a lot."


    She got up and stretched, showing off her shapely assets, "Thank god you do. If you were handsome on top of being so skilled, I would have fallen for you so hard that I would have followed you back to your home country like a lost puppy."


    Roy didn''t doubt in the least that she would have done exactly that. They took a quick shower and left the hotel, both going their separate ways. Roy returned to his hotel. When he went through the front door, Maria called out to him.


    "Good morning Roy. Do you have 5 minutes to spare?"


    "Sure."


    Roy went upto the reception and she guided him into the back room. They sat down on two chairs facing each other. With blue skirt, blue coat and white shirt, she was looking so damn sexy. If Roy was still the man he was a month ago, by now he would have started scheming how to bend her over and fuck her.


    "I wanted to talk to you about the deal you proposed to me, 49% of the profits in exchange for the upgrade and maintenance of my apartment. I gave it some thought, and I decided to accept it."


    Roy was pleasantly surprised. At the best scenario, he expected her to negotiate for the percentage cut. At the worst scenario, he expected her to outright refuse.


    "To be honest, I was sure you would refuse my offer. May I ask what made you change your mind?"


    "I have my reasons."


    Roy didn''t say anything and only stared at her blankly. She stared back, but soon caved under his scrutinizing gaze.


    "All right, all right, I will say it... Geez, you look so scary when you go all silent. It''s because I chose to trust you. You cared for me when I was sick. You fed me when I was weak. You helped of Chris. I..."


    She suddenly went silent. Roy waited a minute for her to continue, but when she didn''t, he finished it for her, "I once again wanted someone special in my life, and I hoped you would consider it. How far off am I?"


    Her skin went from white to red so fast that Roy thought there might have been some light show going on nearby. Roy watched in amusement as she cutely protested and defended herself, "Don''t try to tell me you don''t find me sexy. I noticed how you look at me. I am still young, you know. I had Chris when I was 22. I am only turning 30 this year. I bet I would still look stunning in a dress." She stopped rambling and flailed her hands, "Oh come on, say something."


    Roy stood up and extended one hand. She took it and Roy pulled her up. Then he slipped one hand around her waist and pulled her body closer. He ran down his other hand from her shoulder to her back, to her waist, ending with his hands on her hips. Her full figure made her curves very prominent and Roy could feel them even through her uniform. She pressed her body close to him and locked her hands behind his neck. Her eyes closed ever so slowly and she puckered her lips, expecting a kiss. Not wanting to disappoint the lady, he leaned down and locked lips with her.


    They playfully kissed each other for some time, pecking, licking, touching, feeling. But they didn''t go overboard. Roy didn''t push her and she appreciated it. Their separated only after they were satisfied. She looked into Roy''s eye silently and put one hand on his cheek. He didn''t avert his eyes and kept looking at her. He suspected she liked looking into her lover''s eyes. He was honored that she would seriously think of him as a love interest. But, he couldn''t, due to him being a immortal being and all. So he had to clear this up before she got herself entangled with him any further.


    "Maria, I am very happy that a woman as beautiful as you wants me as her man, but I feel I should clear up some things. I am... I have some secrets that I can''t share with you. I hate myself for saying this, but... please find someone else. I can''t be with you."


    "Are you an assassin who kills people for money?" She asked with such a straight face that even Roy needed a minute to determine that she wasn''t joking.


    "NO. How did you even"


    "Are you a undercover agent like Ethan Hunt?"


    "No."


    "Are you James Bond?"


    "No."


    "Then tell me why."


    Roy stayed silent and averted his eyes. Maria put her palms on his chest and leaned onto his chest, and whispered ever so slightly "I don''t want to lose you."


    Roy''s face hardened. Damn his human emotions, always making him do things. He could easily use inception to avert her mind, but he chose the second option. He kissed the top of her head, and put his cheek there, "Give me some time. I will figure something out. I promise on my pride as the Contact Person."


    She looked up to him and asked, "Is that your secret? This contact person thing? This is the second time you have mentioned that to me."


    Roy only gave her a grin, "I can not deny or confirm without express permission from my boss."


    She hit his chest, and pouted "Jerk."


    They went back to cuddling while standing. After a while, he let her go, but not before squeezing her ass once, which earned him a playful shove. She went back to the reception counter and he went back to his room.


    He entered his room and just before he was going to unbutton his shirt, Mike spoke up, *I am receiving a transmission for permission to visit earth.*


    *So soon?*


    *Maybe for you, but not for them. Should I give permission?*


    *Do we know who are coming?*


    *They are called Olgtorbs. They are red skinned, tall humanoids. They are governed by a monarchy. However, they settle everything through fights. You want to bargain for something? Fight. You want to rob a bank? Fight. You want free drinks? Fight. Even their females are as strong as males. If a male wants to marry a female, fight. A female wants to annul their marriage? That''s right, fight. Trust me when I say this, they are coming here just to fight you. However, they can be quite scheming if they want to be, I would advise to be careful.*


    *Interesting. Give them permission.*


    *Well I am confident in my psychic abilities. I want to know if I can stand up to an alien races.*


    *All right, giving permission.*

 Book 1 Chapter 4: First Blood: part 2

    Next morning, Roy woke up and did his morning routine. Yesterday, Mike gave permission for landing for a species named Olgtorb. They were suppossed to land on a nearby hill. After breakfast, Roy flew there using his telekinesis. Roy had no idea how the aliens will avoid detection and fly through all the satellites orbiting earth, but Mike assured him that there is no technology on earth that can see through the standard camouflage used by aliens.


    After waiting for an hour, Roy felt something approaching. Since his precognition ability gives him an unconscious awareness of his surroundings, he knew something was approaching towards his location very fast, however the only thing he could see was a blurry outline in the shape of a ship. The blurry outline soundlessly approached and landed in front of him without any sort of disturbance in the surroundings. A portion of the ship opened up and three humanoids walked out. They all had red skin, with various heights. One of them was looking a bit old and Roy was almost sure he was the king. Two aliens followed behind him. One was most likely a girl, cause she had large breasts, almost anime like. Other one should be a male and was glaring at him.


    The king stopped in front of Roy and studied him from head to toe. Roy also observed them. All of them had a suit on, and some kind of hammer like thing was hanging from their backs. Mike informed him it was a proton axe, able to slice through or damage most things. Suddenly Roy remembered, he forgot one most important thing when dealing with aliens.


    *Mike, what language do they understand?*


    *They should have a universal translator with them. Speak in English. The translator will do the rest.*


    Roy decided to go with a normal human greetings.


    "Welcome to my beautiful planet, the Earth. As you might have already guessed, I am your Contact Person, Kaushik Roy. A pleasure to meet you all."


    The king took one step forward and politely introduced himself, "A pleasure to meet you too, esteemed Contact Person. I am Jakarat Fist, king of the strongest empire of Planet Olga. The one on my left is my son, Kurtus Fist. The one my right is my daughter, Minub Fist."


    Roy nodded to each of them as a sign of acknowledgment as Jakarat introduced them. Minub was looking at him curiously, while Kurtus was smiling maliciously. Suddenly Roy felt his precognition go off. Kurtus had drew his weapon and charged him. With telekinetic assist, Roy easily dodged out of the way. He almost kicked Kurtus into oblivion, but held himself back at the last moment. Kurtus turned and again charged, but he was blocked by Jakarat.


    "We discussed this many times son. Although he might not be one of us, but we must formally challenge him."


    Roy noticed Kurtus looking at him and sneering, "Come on father, that was just a simple Olgtorb style greeting. He is supposed to be strong, no? He already seems to be adept at running away though."


    The king slung his own axe on his back and bowed apologetically to him, "I deeply apologize for the actions of my son. I hope you are unharmed."


    Roy dismissively waved at him and spoke, "It''s all right. It''s always amusing to watch kids pretending to be a warrior."


    Kurtus flared up at the obvious insult, but one stern look from king shut him up. Minub was giggling at the expense of her brother. Kurtus glared at her, but it had no effect.


    The king sighed and got down to business.


    "I guess you already know and I apologize for not revealing this to you before, but the reason my son came to earth is not for vacation, but for fame. Fame in our species is gathered by defeating strong opponents and my stupid son wants to do that by fighting the strongest force in the universe, namely you."


    Mike spoke up, *I told you.*


    "I understand your customs king Jakarat and you don''t need to apologize for that. What I don''t understand is, why have you come to me? There are other contact persons besides me in other planets. Why didn''t you go to them?"


    "That, Mr Roy, you will have to ask my son. For some reason, he was adamant about fighting you from the last one month earth time."


    Roy''s eyes narrowed and he shifted his attention from Jakarat to Kurtus. Perhaps he was reading into it too much, but the time when he became the Contact Person was somewhat roughly one month ago. Too close to be a coincidence. He shifted his attention to King and asked, "So what do you propose?"


    "A fight. You and Kurtus go into the arena and you teach my stupid son why Contact Persons are revered as the strongest beings."


    "Any rules I should know about?"


    "Only melee weapons, no guns. No killing your opponents. The one who surrenders or knocked out, loses. Aside from that, everything goes."


    Roy thought to himself, *Pretty harmless duel. Maybe I was being paranoid for nothing.*


    "I understand your proposal and I accept them king Jakarat. I have one concern though. Where are we suppossed to find an arena?"


    The king smiled, "Oh, leave that to me."


    Minub took out a device and threw it on the ground a few meters away. A blue transparent bubble popped up and Minub gestured Roy to get into it.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    *Mike, what is that?*


    *Another popular device among the Olgtorbs. That''s an out-shield. It''s purpose is to stop things from going outside. You can fight to your hearts content in there and people outside of the shield won''t feel a thing.*


    After confirming that it was nothing dangerous, he walked in. Behind him, Kurtus also walked in, smiling maliciously.


    "Puny human, I don''t see any weapon on you. You sure you want to fight me? We Olgtorbs are known for our physical strength. And I know that you humans are far inferior to us in that regard. How about it? Admit defeat right now and I will let you go after one or two broken bones?"


    Roy''s suspicion came back to him full force, and this time he was sure something was up. It was as if he did research on human species. Could it be?


    "Who told you that the Contact Person of earth has changed?"


    Kurtus''s smile faltered a bit, "What?"


    Roy didn''t answer him and kept looking at him. Kurtus resumed his malicious smile, "Oh my. You are not as stupid as some of your species. Maybe if you admit defeat and agree to become my servant, I will tell you."


    Roy shook his head. He, of all people, didn''t expect to encounter such a cliche villain. He simply cracked his neck and Kurtus also readied his axe. They began the moment king Jakarat shouted, "Begin."


    Despite being a mountain of muscle, Kurtus was very quick. He closed the distance quickly and swang his axe vertically. Roy effortlessly dodged it sideways and tripped him. Kurtus fell on the ground and slid some distance face first in the dirt, almost like a cartoon. Minub was laughing as hard as she could.


    Kurtus got up and charged Roy again. Roy dodged again and tripped him. This cycle went on for some time. Kurtus couldn''t land one hit on Roy and was growing angry every minute. Taunts from Roy also didn''t help either. After his eleventh try, he picked his face from the ground, and growled menacingly at Roy. He again charged Roy, but this time Roy''s precognition went off. Instead of avoiding the axe by shifting his body weight to the side, Roy enveloped himself in a telekinetic shield and jumped backwards. The moment Kurtus''s axe made contact with the ground, an explosion went off. Had Roy not shielded himself, he would have been critically injured.


    Kurtus waited for the dust to clear. What he just used was called a kinetic explosion. A device at the tip of the axe collected the kinetic energy when the axe is swang. When a button is pressed, the device exploded the collected energy in an arc to the front. Using the kinetic explosion was actually against the rules, but all he could think right at that moment was, "Fuck the rules." He was sure that the puny human was dead or at least close to dead. However, when the dust cleared, he discovered the human standing there unharmed and a look a hatred shadowing upon his face.


    Roy couldn''t believe this little fucker. He didn''t know if this was violation of the rules or not, but he was pissed.


    *Mike, he just tried to kill me, right?*


    *Looks like it.*


    *What does the Olgtorb customs say? Can I kill him as a self defense?*


    *No. He can get out saying that it was an accident and the blame would fall on you. However, if you were to somehow make it so that he can''t give up, and then keep hitting him until you were satisfied, no one would mind.*


    Roy gave Kurtus a Joker style smile and Kurtus''s blood ran cold. However, before he could give up, Roy was already in front of him and delivering a right hook to his jaw. For a minute, Kurtus was disoriented. His vision was spinning and there was a sharp pain coming from his broken jaw. Before he could understand what was going on, he felt a fist connect to his chest and several loud cracking sound told him that now he had several broken ribs. Then he felt someone grabbing him by his right ankle and lifting him up like he was a baby. Then he felt himself slamming down onto the earth and the force broke the bones on his right shoulder. Then he was again picked up and slammed down onto the ground again, which broke his spine. He felt himself thrown with considerable force, which broke his left leg after slamming into the out-shield. Then the darkness claimed him.


    Roy calmed down after pummeling down the little shit. After his rage subsided a little, he realized that he just potentially crippled a prince while the king was watching.


    *Emmm, Mike? Should I have done that?*


    *Yes, absolutely. Had you acted out of benevolence and spared him, you would have been branded as weak and all the warmongering aliens would come attacking earth thinking it will be easy picking. Remember, right now you are the shield between the alien forces and earth. The faster they learn that it is unwise to attack you or yours, the better peace of mind you will have for yourself.*


    *You know what Mike? I couldn''t agree more.*


    Suddenly, a crash behind him broke him out of his inner thinking. Looking back, he saw Minub had jumped into the arena, brandishing her own axe.


    "Fight me." She screamed and vanished from the spot. Roy''s precognition went off and he blindly dodged to the side. A moment later, Minub''s axe cleaved vertically at the place where he was standing a moment ago. Somehow, she managed to appear at his back and with a speed fast enough to surprise him.


    *She used some kind of teleportation device, but without a destination marker, which should be impossible.* Mike commented in his ear.


    Roy used the same tactics he used when he was fighting Kurtus. With telekinetic assist, he launched himself like a bullet and delivered a lightning fast right hook towards Minub''s jaw. His fist was hardened using telekinesis and it was bound to break her jaw. However moments before he made contact with her face, something odd happened. The left side of her face darkened rapidly and when his fist connected, he felt like he was punching a steel wall. She took several step back due to the force of the hit, but otherwise she was okay. The dark skin on her left side face rapidly faded and went back to normal red color.


    *Just now, what the fuck was that?* Roy cursed in his mind.


    *That was some sort of nano tech body armor. This girl sure is interesting.* Mike commented again.


    *So she has some kind of armor. Great. Then I will need to use the armor piercing ammo.* Roy nodded to himself and lunged again. He dodged one of her sneaking move and sent a kick to her head. As expected, just before his kick connected, her skin darkened. However, after the kick connected, she took some steps back, then collapsed, unconscious.


    *What did you do?* Mike asked intrigued.


    *I rattled her brain using telekinetic shock wave when I kicked her. Her skin might be tough, but her brain ain''t.*


    After the fight was over, Roy saw some people come out of the ship. They put the Kurtus on a stretcher and rush back into the ship. Another group of them picked up Minub on a stretcher and went back. The shield device powered down and king Jakarat came to Roy.


    "I thank you for not killing my son. He broke the dueling rules and it was within your right to kill him. However, I think the punishment you have given him, is way worse than death. With our medical technology, his body will recover from the wounds, but his fame will not. He will have to live as the man who didn''t know his limits and dared to challenge a power far greater than his own. And I apologize for my daughter''s selfish behavior. I also thank you for not harming her anymore than you needed to."


    Roy internally thanked his luck, *Actually I totally aimed to break every bone in your daughter''s body. Thank her weird body armor that I couldn''t do it.*


    "If you don''t mind, can I ask you some questions?"


    "Sure, go ahead."


    "During our fight, Minub used a device to teleport short distances. She also had some kind of nano tech body armor. Why didn''t Kurtus had those?"


    "She is a scientist. At first she planned to open a shop where she could sell her inventions. However none of the other Olgtorbs had the mental capacity to use the devices effectively in a fight. If you want to know about the devices, you will have to ask her that. She loves to create devices like that."


    Minub had no wound on her and she was only unconscious for an hour. As soon as she regained consciousness, she ran out from the medical bay and sought out Roy. He was resting under the shade of tree outside of the ship. She boldly walked up to him and sat down beside him. Roy opened one of his eyes to look at he briefly and closed his eyes again. Both of them sat in silence for a minute before she decided to speak up.


    "Soooo, you are the Contact Person?"


    "Yes."


    "Can I become one?"


    "Maybe."


    "How do I become one? Do I have to take a written test, or something?"


    "It''s a secret."


    "I can keep secrets. I am super good at keeping secrets."


    Roy opened his eyes and took a good look at Minub. She was red skinned, like all the Olgtorbs. She was almost 2 and half meters tall. Two large breasts dangled from her chest and an equally big hip accentuated her narrow waist. All in all, she was a damn gorgeous woman. She noticed his stare and smiled mischievously. She put her hands beneath her breasts and pushed them up, making them seem even bigger. Then she wiggled her eyebrows at him and Roy laughed at her antics.


    "If I tell you, I will have to kill you."


    "I can think of some other ways. You human males like my body right? If you tell me your secret, I will let you touch me."


    "I am going to give you a reverse proposal. If you can give them to me, I will tell you my secret."


    "Do you want to know how my inventions work?"


    "There''s that too, but no. Someone who knew the previous Contact Person told your brother that I was newly appointed in this role. I need to know who."


    "Oh, that. I know her."


    Roy immediately sat up and turned to look at Minub. "You do?"


    She deadpanned, "Well duh. She is my friend. I have known her like, forever. I think right now she was living somewhere around here."


    Roy perked up at her answer. "Does this woman have a name?"


    "Sure she does. Her name is Suu Jin."

 Book 1 Chapter 4: First Blood: part 3

    Roy picked up his phone and dialed a number. After some time, Suu''s voice came through.


    "Good morning Roy. Are we going for the tour today?"


    "Good morning to you too Suu. Yes we are going. But first, I have met someone who says they know you."


    "Oh, who is he? Is it someone from the office?"


    "It''s a she. And her name is Minub Fist."


    There was a sound of crashing in the background and after a minute, her voice came through again.


    "Emmm, could you describe how she looks like?"


    "She has red skin. Do I need to say more?"


    Suu laughed nervously over the phone and asked, "Ahahah, red skin, you say? You mean like a red costume? Is she a cosplayer?"


    "No. I meant what I said."


    She went silent for a minute, then asked.


    "What do you want?"


    Roy quirked an eyebrow at her question. Did she just assume that he did something to Minub? If that is so, let''s tease the poor lady a bit.


    "Meet me at 4 PM, at the coffee shop in front of the office. We will continue this conversation then. See you Suu."


    "Please don''t hurt her."


    "We will see about that."


    Roy cut the call and turned to Minub. She looked at him incredulously and said,


    "You are so bad."


    Roy shrugged his shoulders, "I will be honest. I have a bit soft spot for. She can be so cute sometimes."


    "True. I can attest to that."


    "So what is she?"


    Minub shook her head, "I shouldn''t be the one to tell you that."


    Roy nodded his head, "Fair enough. Looks like your ship is prepped for departure. See you later, I guess."


    She put one finger on her chin, "Well my father is preparing to return. I, however, want to stay here with you." She pointed her finger at you and declared, "You are interesting."


    Roy watched as Minub and Jakarat talked for some time. She pointed at Roy sometimes and Jakarat occasionally glanced at him. After they finished talking, they hugged each other and then the ship left, leaving Minub behind. She pressed one button on the necklace she was wearing and gradually she turned from a red skinned beauty to a bronze skinned beauty. Roy grabbed her hand and used the teleporter to return to his room.


    Maria was surprised when she saw Minub exiting the hotel with Roy. She couldn''t remember any woman that tall coming in. She dismissed it thinking that she might have missed when she came in. But she felt a bit tinge of jealousy. Who was that woman? Was she trying to seduce Roy? Maria pouted and decided it was time to go on the offensive. She closed for the day and went to her room. She opened the wardrobe and


    Roy and Minub met up with Suu at the coffee shop. She was already there waiting for them and was very nervous. She was fidgeting and nearly jumped out of her skin when Roy greeted her. They sat down and ordered a coffee. Coffee was something new for Minub and had Roy not been there to stop her, she would have ordered one cup of every flavor available on the menu.


    They spent some time drinking coffee. After Roy felt Suu was calm enough, he initiated the conversation.


    "So, you are not human?"


    Suu flinched at his question, but nodded. Roy reached out and took her hands in his own.


    "Suu, first of all, please don''t be afraid of me. I do not mean you, or Minub any harm. I am still the same guy you met two days back. The same guy you fell in love with."


    "Who are you saying fell in love?" She instantly retorted and Roy gave her a grin. With the ice broken, they hurriedly finished their coffee and went to a nearby park so that they could converse privately.


    They made themselves comfortable on a grassy patch. Minub had never seen or felt grass, as there was no grass in her planet, so she lied down on the ground and within a minute, she was peacefully asleep. Roy and Suu sat in silence, their shoulders touching each other. After a while, she spoke up.


    "Who are you?"


    Roy faked disappointment, "After all the things we have been through, you ask me who I am? Me, the only guy..."


    She punched his shoulder, "You know what I mean."


    Roy sighed, and contemplated whether or not to tell her a lie. However, he quickly discarded the thought as there was no point in lying.


    "I am the Contact Person"


    "So, tell me about yourself."


    Suu lied down on Roy''s lap and began her story. She came from a planet named Vixen. Her mother came to earth almost 40 years back because her family was poor and she thought she would be able to turn her life around here. Frank welcomed her on her first day here. However, her grand plan of becoming rich went down the gutter as she was shot and robbed the very next week she came here. Left for dead in a dark alley, she thought this was it. However, next time when she opened her eyes, she was in a warm bed and an ordinary human was nursing her wounds. This man, who later became Suu''s father, found her after following the sound of gunshot he heard when he was returning from office. She began living with him and eventually fell in love. Although she hid her identity as an alien from him, but he later discovered her secret accidentally. But much to her relief, he didn''t reject her, rather embraced her. That night of passion resulted her becoming pregnant with Suu''s eldest brother. Two years later, she gave birth to Suu''s second elder brother. 3 years after that, Suu herself. They were living in Korea happily ever after. Suu''s father even also visited Vixen once. He was one of those few human''s on earth who knew the existence of aliens.


    Suu''s species, called Tausathi, were shape-shifters. They could change their appearance at will. As a result, their species was inherently beautiful and masters of infiltration. Among their siblings, only Suu had the ability to shape shift. As per her mother, it was quite normal. When a Tausathi mated with another species, chances that their offspring would inherit their shape shifting ability were 50-50. However, contrary to the expectation of her mother, Suu''s ability was vastly superior to those of her kin due to the presence of human DNA. Along with changing her appearance, she could alter her voice, create inorganic material out of her body, create and control new limbs, and though she never used it on anyone, she could absorb living organisms. She could even shape shift into animals, which no Tausathi could do. Only her mother, and from this moment on, Roy knew of her superior ability, since this particular knowledge would only bring trouble.


    Roy asked her to give him a demo. She changed her eyes into that of a snake, morphed her index finger into a claw, and created a working pen out of her hand. However, he asked one more thing that was on his mind.


    "Suu, why would you trust me with your secret?"


    Suu got up from his lap and straddled him, her legs on either side of him. She made her breast swell a bit and the fabric of her shirt struggled to keep those puppies in check. Roy just couldn''t avert his eyes from the spectacle. Her shirt got tighter and her cleavage became more prominent. The buttons on her shirt almost threatened to snap and poke him in the eye. Even then, he could only stare at the fluffy mounds full of hopes and dreams of men, covered by only two pieces of thin fabric. She giggled at his reaction and then reverted them back to their original size. Roy was a bit disappointed. Suu grabbed his head with both her hands and made him look at her face.


    "If there is one thing I understand about you Roy, it is that you''re brutally honest to yourself. I like that about you. I revealed about my secret because of two things. First, you''re THE Contact Person. As such, you are privy to such information so that you know what you will be dealing with."


    Roy put his hands on her hips and pulled her closer to him. In response, she locked her hands behind his head and hugged him. With a sultry tone, she whispered in his ear.


    "Second, from today onwards, you are my honey."


    Roy grinned at her, "Sooo, does that mean I can kiss you?"


    "Yes you can, honey."


    Roy wasted no time. They spent some time feeling each other''s lips. Minub was asleep and no one was there in the park to disturb them. Her lips were supple, and slick, the perfect kissable lips.


    "Your lips are amazing."


    "Of course they are! I am a shape shifter. I can modify my body to the ultimate perfection. Well, before I had to add a bit of imperfection in myself to seem normal, but now that you know what I am, I have no reason to pretend. If you thought I had a nice body when you saw me previously in apron, wait till you see me now."


    "I will look forward to see you naked, hopefully sometime soon. But you are right. With your ability, you have no need for make-up or anything."


    "Correct. And trust me it saved me a load of money and time. You know, if you ask nicely, I may even turn into one of the hot celebrities."


    "Maybe when we are feeling kinky. But right now, I want you as you."


    Suu''s face turned into a shade of red so fast that Roy thought she was shape shifting. But apparently, his last statement caught her off guard. She looked down smiling and fiddled with her fingers like a teenage schoolgirl. They spent some more time bonding with each other. Minub woke up after an hour and half. They left the park and Minub went with Suu to stay.

    Roy came back to his hotel. Today was stressful for him. In one day, he had to fight an alien, babysit a busty alien, and then got claimed as honey by another hot alien. However, he faced one teeny tiny problem.


    His room keycard wasn''t working.


    Roy sighed and came downstairs to notify Maria. But it seemed like Maria was already aware of his problem.


    "Roy! Having trouble getting into your room?"


    "Yeah. Could you please check my key card?"


    "Oh no need. It seems there is some problem with the door lock in your room. I hope you don''t mind, but I had to move your luggage to another room so that you won''t be inconvenienced."


    "Oh thank you for that. Could you update my key card then? And what is my new room number?"


    "Oh I don''t need to update your key card. You already have access to it."


    "How would I have access to my new room if you..."


    Roy stopped asking his question. Apart from his own, he had access to one more room in this building. He suspiciously stared at Maria and she just gave him a business smile.


    "I assure you that your new room will be more than enough to your liking sir. It comes with great benefits to make up for the inconvenience we might have caused."


    Roy quirked his eyebrows. Two can play this game.


    "Thank you for your generosity. Does it come with a double bed in master room should things get, hot?"


    Maria adjusted her spectacles ever so slightly, "Of course sir. The bed also has a double spring loaded mattress if you wish to, perform strenuous exercises on it."


    "Should I hope for bacon and toasts in the morning? With a side of some fruits, say melons?"


    "I am sure something could be arranged. I hear bananas are very rich in potassium."


    "You''re correct. And milk goes very nicely with them. I hear they are effective in bringing up vitamin D in male bodies."


    "We might have to put those rumors to test, preferably tonight."


    Roy chuckled at the busty MILF''s wittiness. She was very aggressive and knew what she wanted.


    "Maybe we should. See you later, Maria."


    "Of course sir. See you later."


    Roy left the hotel to go around since entrance to Maria''s room was at the back of the hotel. As soon as he left, Maria plopped down on the chair, knees shaking and breathing heavily. Her plan to get her dream man into her room went off without a hitch. She put on a brave persona in front of him, but she was nervous since she had no idea how he would react. Now that the first part of her plan went through, she could use her womanly charms on him. Hopefully, she had enough womanly charm left to sway him.


    Roy entered Maria''s, no their, room and took a dip in the bathtub. Due to his enhanced physic, he never really got physically tired. But the same couldn''t be said for his mind. Relaxing like this helped him with his mental stress.


    Roy was in a dilemma. He knew that he had a job, which was to make earth tolerant enough to accept aliens. However the way earth is now, people got into fights with each other for being ''Offended''. He could, of course announce worldwide that the aliens are real, however that could end only badly. Religious nutjobs would argue, political figures would be angry, NASA would swarm him with questions, and more than a few people would want to kidnap aliens to study their biology. What earth needed, was a shock treatment. There was no mild way to do this. And to do that, he needed a threat. A threat big enough to force the mankind forget its problems and stand united. But where was he going to find such a threat?


    Roy got up from the tub and dried himself. He heard the main door opening and a sound of heels coming in. Sure enough, when he came out of the master bed room, he saw Maria. She looked at Roy''s less than fit figure for a bit, and then made a show of sensually licking her lips. However, right now, Roy wasn''t feeling flirty. He didn''t smile, or made any gesture. He stood there, deep in his thought. Maria was confused at his behavior, so she called out to him.


    "Roy? Are you feeling OK?"


    Roy looked straight at her eyes and she met his gaze with curiosity. Perhaps it was the fabled woman''s intuition, but she knew he was going to say something very important. So she kept her mouth closed and let him take all the time to decide. Roy looked down towards his feet and nodded to himself, seemingly deciding on something.


    "Maria?"


    "Yes?"


    "Are you religious?"


    The abrupt question caught her off guard. She fumbled with her answer as she herself wasn''t sure. She thought for a bit, taking all the decisions she made into factor. And she could come to only one answer.


    "I, uhh... Uhh... I never really... you know... given it much thought. I was kind of a bit too free spirited back in my teenage days, got married early, had Chris, divorced, and now I barely have time to properly eat. If you are asking like, if I believe there is someone up in the sky who controls our fate, then no. I am not religious."


    "Is there something, or someone, you believe in?"


    "Roy, what''s going on? You are scaring me."


    Roy took slow steps towards her while keeping his hands in the air, exactly the same way he did when he was nursing her. He came up to Maria and took off her glasses. Then he slowly grabbed her by her waist and pulled her closer.


    "Maria, I know that you like me, very much. However, there are secrets about me. If you want to be with me, you have to know at least a part of those secrets. But before I reveal them to you, I need to be certain about you. Please Maria, prove me right about you."


    She put her hands on his shoulders and looked deep into his eyes. And by god, Roy loved it when she did that. She stared at him for some time before breaking eye contact. Then she got out of his embrace and went to sit on the couch. Roy deflated a bit, thinking she was backing off. He, however, was proven wrong when she called out to him.


    "Come sit on the couch. I don''t want to talk while standing."


    Roy smiled and sat beside her. She loosened the buttons on her shirt to get comfortable and removed her skirt so that she could stretch her legs a bit. It was a bit distracting for Roy, but he forced himself to focus on the matter at hand.


    "So about my question? Is there something you believe in?"


    "It''s more like I have a principle. I believe in helping others. I believe that by helping other, I could make the world, or at least a part of it a better place."


    "Do you believe aliens exist?"


    "Honestly, I never gave it much thought. They could exist. I mean it''s not like there''s a rule saying aliens can''t exist."


    Roy contemplated her answers. She answers all seemed to point that she was open minded. He just hoped she was open minded enough to digest what he was about to tell her.


    "All right, one last question, and Maria, I want you to be truthful about it."


    "I will try my best."


    "Do you trust me?"


    Maria looked at him like he had committed the most heinous crime of all time. She looked at her own unbuttoned shirt and her skirt, which was lying on the floor. Then she looked at Roy and rubbed her temples in annoyance.


    "In case you haven''t noticed Roy, I will narrate the current situation. I, have taken the initiative to make a man committed to me. I have that very same man in my room while I am in a state of undress, despite the fact that it has been like only two weeks I have known him. If that doesn''t tell you how much I trust and want you, then I don''t know what else can tell you."


    Roy picked up his index finger in the air and made the motion of pressing a button in thin air.


    "Boop."


    Maria jerked backwards and touched her nose. Roy just telekinetically booped her nose.


    "What was that? What did you do?"


    Roy laughed and spent the next half an hour explaining her about his telekinesis. She took it fairly well. Then he got into the crux of the matter and explained her that aliens exist. She asked about the tall lady, namely Minub exiting the hotel with him today and Roy confirmed she was an alien. She asked about the drunk lady the other night, which was Suu, and Roy also confirmed it.


    After all the explanation ended, Maria just sat there, deep in thought. Roy kept his silence, giving the poor lady some time to digest all that. She broke out of trance after some time.


    "It''s a lot to take in, Roy. A part of me still wants to believe that this is an elaborate prank. This is not a prank, right Roy?"


    "I assure you it is not. Tell you what, tomorrow you and I will meet up with Suu and Minub. You could see for yourself."


    "I need some time alone Roy. It''s a lot to wrap my head around in."


    She got up and headed towards bathroom. Upon entering, she closed the door and Roy heard the bathtub being filled. He put on some pants and lied down on the bed, trying to get some rest.


    After an hour or so, the bathroom door opened. Roy saw Maria standing at the door frame wearing only a towel. She walked towards the bed and took it off. Then she slipped beside him and snuggled up. Roy pulled her close and telekinetically drew the blanket over both of them. Tomorrow would be a big revelation day.

 Book 1 Chapter 4: First Blood: part 4

    Next morning, Roy awoke to the smell of breakfast. He got out of the bed and walked out of the master bedroom. In the kitchen, Maria was making breakfast. By the smell, it was bacon and toast. She was wearing a loose shirt only which reached just past her gorgeous butt, and her THICC legs were on full display. Roy leaned onto the wall and watched her make breakfast.


    Roy thought back on the days prior to becoming the Contact Person. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that he would have a cute and hot lady snuggling up to him at night. Or that lady would make him breakfast. That too twice, first it was Suu, now Maria. It was not like he was a loser or a shut-in. It was just that he didn''t have the confidence to aim above what he thought was his league. It also didn''t help that he never actively went after a girl. He always liked strong spirited girls, but no girl in his circle was like that. So he could never hit it off with someone, and thus 30 years of remaining as a virgin.


    He lightly shook his head to rid himself of these useless thoughts. The man who spent his days alone in his room was no more. He took a couple heavy steps so that Maria knew he was up. Walking up to behind her he hugged her and kissed her cheek.


    "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"


    Maria turned her head towards Roy and kissed him lightly on the lips, surprising Roy.


    "Good morning darling. I slept like a log yesterday. You are so much better than a hug pillow, you know that?"


    "No, I didn''t know that. But more importantly, ¡®darling¡¯? I am your darling now?"


    She wiggled her butt a little and Roy could feel his blood rush to his dick.


    "Like I said, I am going to make you committed to me. But if you don''t like darling, I could call you something else if you want."


    "Nah, no need to change. Hearing you call me darling with your natural husky voice is so, soothing."


    After a simple breakfast, they were on their way to meet Suu and Minub. Maria was a bit nervous about all this, and truth to be told, a bit apprehensive. One day you were a normal earthling, then one night you are told that the universe is quite bigger that anything you could have anticipated, and now you were on your way to meet the so called ''Aliens''. At home, Maria at least ten times asked Roy if she should wear the prettiest dress she had or not. She had the impression that she was going to be the one representing the human race, so she had to look the best. It was only through a lot of petting and hugs, Roy could convince her otherwise.


    They met up in the same park as yesterday. Roy introduced Maria to Suu and Minub, and in turn, introduced both of them to Maria. Maria was very nervous, but years of running a hotel single handedly gave her enough experience to keep herself composed. Suu showed some of her abilities as Tausathi, Minub revealed some of her real skin tone to Maria to prove that they weren''t normal. For the most time, Roy kept silent, occasionally he quipped in some points but nothing more. After some small talks, Maria started to warm up to those two and soon, their talks moved from being serious topics to normal girly things, like make ups, cloths, and of course, love.


    Roy left the ladies to their own devices and went for a stroll. The sun was directly overhead, but the weather was nice and cool. He went to a nearby shop and bought a bottle of beer, purely on whim. Not far from the shop, there was a skate park. Some teenagers were practicing skateboard tricks, but not quite doing a good job of it. Some teenage girls also doing the same as them. Roy took a seat under the shade of a nearby tree. He telekinetically opened the bottle and took a deep swig. He kept absent-mindedly watching the skaters until his precognition went off.


    What Roy liked most about his precognition ability was that not only it warned him before something even happened, it even told him the direction of the anomaly. Basically, it was impossible for someone to ambush him or somebody else in his vicinity, no matter what. Roy looked at one of the skater boy and immediately noticed what was off. He misperformed a slide and was trying very hard not to fall off his skate. But if he didn''t stop soon, he was going to fall hard on the concrete.


    Roy lazily used his telekinesis to correct his posture. However, as soon as he used his ability, he felt another telekinesis ability, although much weaker than him, interfering with his own. Roy quickly scanned the area and found the possible culprit. A girl among the skate boarding group, was staring intently at the boy, while others had a look of worry or fear on their faces. She was confused when the boy regained his footing. She looked around and discovered Roy looking at her. She picked up her skate board and walked towards Roy.


    Roy watched her walk towards him. She had a confident gait and didn''t slouch even though she had an impressive volume on her chest. The other skaters stopped doing whatever they were doing and scooted closer, anticipating a good show. Roy mouth twitched and he picked up his bottle for another swig. His precognition again went off and he blocked a telekinetic shot which was aimed at his bottle of beer, of course, with his own telekinesis. Her steps faltered a bit when she saw her attack did nothing. His precognition again went off and Roy blocked another blast from her, this time intending to make him fall down from where he was sitting.


    By the time she was in front of him, she was cautious. She considered herself fairly strong using her telekinesis, but a random man shrugged off all of her attacks like it was nothing. Furthermore, he used his ability from a far distance to help the boy. Even she could not do that. So she knew that Roy was more adept at controlling his ability, at least more that her.


    "Do you know who I am?" She tried to intimidate him using her position in society. This would have worked on any other person. However, Roy was not any other person.


    "Why did you do that?" Roy completely shrugged off her question and asked his own.


    "What?" It seemed she was not used to people ignoring her.


    "Would you have taken responsibility if he had gotten hurt?" Roy rephrased his question.


    "Why the fuck do you care? Are you his father? I do whatever the fuck I want to do." Roy rubbed his temple in annoyance. Somehow the telekinesis ability was unlocked in her gene, and now she became a typical bitch who used it to punish whoever annoyed her.


    Roy motioned towards the empty seat beside him and said, "Sit down."


    "Fuck you old man." She gave him the middle finger and turned to leave. However Roy wasn''t having that. What he hated most of all, is pointless drama.


    "I. Wasn''t. Asking."


    He turned on his fear aura and spoke his words very slowly, making sure she understood that she didn''t have a choice. She shakily turned around and walked towards him. When she was sitting down, she lost her grip on the skateboard and it fell down. She let it be there and sat down, looking at anywhere but towards him.


    "Right now, if I want to kidnap you, put an exploding slave collar on you, then sell you to the highest bidder, do you know who could stop me?" Roy spoke slowly and with a calm voice, like he had done this kind of thing many times before. This only served to terrify the girl more. She was on the verge of crying. Only her irrational fear of Roy kept her from doing so. Even though Roy asked her a question, she didn''t dare answer.


    "Answer me. Who could stop me?"


    She shook her head. Roy took it as a sign of she didn''t know. He calmly continued, "The answer is, no one. Not the police, not your father, not your uncle, no one. With a slave collar on your neck, you will be forced to do things even the devil himself wouldn''t dream of doing."


    She clutched at her pants and sniffed. Big teardrops started falling on her lap. "I am sorry." she whispered, "I promise to be a good girl. Please don''t sell me. I promise not to do bad things."


    Roy sighed and retracted his fear aura. Then he put his hands on her head. She flinched, but didn''t pull away. Roy kept petting her until she gained enough courage to look at him, "Are you going to tell me to use my ability for the good of people? With great power, comes great responsibility and all that shit?"


    This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.


    Roy grinned. If she could talk like that, then she would be fine, "You have a good ability. I am not telling you that use it only for good, or anything like that. After all, we live in the real world. It is simply not possible. What I am telling you, is that do not hurt people needlessly. Just because you have something that can overpower them, you should not use it. Remember, just as you are stronger than them, there are people stronger than you."


    She smiled and made a cutesy face, or it would have been a cutesy one if she didn''t have tears and snots marring her face.


    "So that means I can continue to steal from shops?"


    "Maybe I should give you a collar, for everyone''s safety?"


    She recoiled at his words, "Were you serious about selling me?"


    Roy teased the young girl, "Maybe I was, maybe I wasn''t. You would never know."


    She glared at him, which didn''t have any effect on Roy whatsoever. He shrugged and continued, "By the way, I am Roy. What''s your name?"


    "My name is Linda."


    In the meantime, the skateboarders got bored watching them and returned to practice. Roy and Linda talked with each other, without any interruption. Turned out, Linda''s mother was a prostitute. Linda didn''t know her father. She was conceived when her mother was paid to please a group of men with impregnation fetish. Her mother was supposed to have an abortion, but somehow she couldn''t bring herself to do it. Instead she chose to bring Linda to life. Due to severe lack of money, Linda didn''t have much of a formal education. She did odd jobs to make ends meet. 4 years ago, she discovered her telekinesis ability. She was returning home after work. On the way, she was accosted by a drunken hoodlum wielding a knife. He wanted her money so that he could drink more, you know, the usual clich¨¦. But she wasn''t going to hand over her money, so the thug tried to stab her. In her fear, she only thought of pushing away the thug and run away. Her ability manifested and she knocked him against a wall with enough force to make him faint.


    By sheer luck, just one day prior to the incident, she sneaked into a theater which was showing a dark themed movie featuring a human turning into an alien. She didn''t know the name of the movie, but she remembered the incidents that happened in the movie. She didn''t know why instead of helping the poor man, the people in the white dresses tortured him, cut him open and did all other bad things. She didn''t know, but she understood. She understood that being different would bring her problems. So she didn''t tell anyone, not even her mother. She started practicing. Lots and lots of practicing, to the point she could easily be categorized as a superhuman. Along the way, her view towards other people changed. Since no one was able to harm her, she started to grow over confident. She felt invincible. She felt like the queen of her little circle. That was until she met Roy. His fear aura stirred the fear hidden deep within her. She was afraid that he would sell her to the white dressed people, and they would also cut her open and torture her, just like in the movie she saw four years ago.


    Roy understood her point of view. She was just a teenager, who was yet to see the dark side of humanity. She was like a boat in the middle of the sea without a compass. What she probably needed, was guidance. If she agreed, he knew just the right place.\


    "Say Linda, want to live a better life?"


    She eyed him suspiciously, "Why do you wanna know?"


    "I am trying to help you."


    "Yeah right, because you are the next Jesus. No thanks, I can get by my own. I don''t need your help."


    Roy rolled his eyes. This was exactly the reason he didn''t like dealing with the teenagers. He took out a Maria''s business card from his wallet and passed it to her. She took it half grudgingly and half afraid that if she didn''t take it, he would sell her. She read the card and mumbled a ''Thank you''.


    "Enjoying your beer, honey?"


    Roy didn''t need to see to know the owner of the voice. Of course, it was his favorite Korean girl, and as of yesterday, his favorite shape-shifter, Suu Jin. She came up to behind him and hugged him, pressing her breasts onto him. Roy turned his head to face her and pecked her on the lips.


    "This beer is fantastic. You should try sometimes."


    Linda watched their exchange with a curious gaze. Roy noticed it and whispered something in Suu''s ear. She nodded and looked straight at Linda. Linda flinched, but held her gaze. Then suddenly, Suu''s eyes changed their color from black to red. Linda noticed it and rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn''t seeing things. Then Suu changed her eye color from red to green, to blue and then back to black. Linda looked like she forgot to speak English for a minute. She was too surprised, and was having a hard time forming a sentence. Roy downed the last remaining beer in the bottle and got up to leave. Linda finally got her voice back and half shouted, half whispered,


    "Did you just change your eye color?"


    Roy looked at her and asked, "Why do you wanna know?"


    "I want to understand."


    "Yeah right, because you are the next Einstein. No thanks."


    Linda was taken aback with his answered, but she immediately connected the dots, "Did you just mock me?"


    Roy gave her half a grin, "Wouldn''t dream of it." Then he waved her goodbye and turned to leave. Linda called out before he could walk away, "Are you two... Like... A thing?"


    Roy stopped walking and looked at Suu. Her black eyes looked into his own, as if she too wanted to know what he would answer. He turned to look at Linda, and gave her a simple answer.


    "Yes."


    An innocent smile bloomed on Suu face and Roy could feel his heart warm up just by looking at her. He had a sudden urge to kiss her. He snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. She obliged and they locked lips for who knew how long. When they separated, Linda stood there awkwardly looking anywhere but them. She mumbled something like, ''Get a room'', then picked up her skateboard and ran away. Roy looked back at Suu, kissed her one more time before separating.


    "So, how did it go?"


    "Though it was a bit embarrassing hearing you confess like that, it was okay."


    Roy smiled at her, "I meant the talk with Maria."


    "Oh... Oh, that." Suu became a bit red around her ear, "It was fantastic. We talked about so many things. Did you know she has a green belt in Krav Maga?"


    "No I did not. Why in the world she learned that?"


    "Well she got some threats from some over jealous fans back in her teen days. She learned it so that she could effectively let others know it would be unwise to come after her."


    "Huh. I am beginning to like that woman more and more."


    Suu suddenly became more fidgety, "Yeah, about that."


    Roy stopped walking. They were still a bit away from the tree shade where Minub and Maria were sitting. He looked at Suu and waited for her to speak. Suu seemed like she was deciding how to best phrase her thoughts.


    "Honey, can I ask you to answer one question very truthfully? Even if you think it''s going to hurt me, I want you to speak your mind."


    "All of them."


    "If you were told to choose between me and Maria, who would you... Wait, what did you just say?"


    "I said all of them."


    "You-you mean, you want both of us?" Her eyes looked like they could pop out of the sockets any time now.


    Roy smiled and lightly brushed Suu''s cheeks with the back of his fingers. He inhaled deeply, and took a moment to organize his words, "You know, I am a selfish person Suu. I am going to be honest. I like you. I also like Maria. In future, I may also come to like some other girls. And I am not going to choose between one or the other. I am going to choose all of you. Now it is up to you girls. Are you okay with the idea of sharing me?"
