With unknown airborne virus escaped, it killed billion of people. As the virus mutate, the more people it kills, leaving humanity’s species into an almost extinction. For the survivors, they lived and grow but something unusual are happening through decades.

The spring of virus’ survivors experienced sudden changes at the age of 12. At first, it was an ability that can be taken lightly but as years passes by, it became a global misunderstanding, each became clueless on what they can do.

Wars started once more and after getting settled on their childish reason to prove who’s the greatest, 10 countries from each continent where humanity lives formed an alliance for peace, they call it, ‘the gold’.

With the greatest from their powers, they stopped the feud and restored the peace. They also managed to give what’s clueless on many and as they ruled, the abnormal became normal and by year 2500, it was declared as the THE CHANGE where what humans can do are not the same as the old.

Year 5000, people instead of hanging and taking care of the so called ‘man’s bestfriend’ on the late millennium, it was replaced by grand technologies, humanoid one that serves purpose above what human can’t do.

Walking on the side way of the park, it didn’t excite me. Things became more technology-based, from buildings, infrastructures and even policemen that serves the law, we call them copnology or a name that was driven from cop and technology.

As a person with lots of knowledge about the history, I always compare and give myself what ifs. What if I lived on the year where humans don’t have supernatural abilities? What if I lived in a year where parks are more fun to take compared to the present where parks are mostly composed of boring aura and productive devices?

I don’t know, it’s just, things are more becoming and exciting when you do it in a manual way.

“Where to, X1?” My personal humanoid device, Stella, asked as it drives my air-board, a device or a kind of transported vehicles for individuals.

Above high, the city of lost can be seen. A city where the name was driven after the lost of more than a thousand people on year 2020, well, that’s according to my illegal stolen book from the library of higher ranked officials since my sister works there.

For in fact, study of history is forbidden on the present. Things related to the past, especially after the war that brought chaos upon humanity, before the ‘the gold’ was built.

How do I know that? It’s my sister, she’s supporting my illegal action of studying the past.

“The Gold HQ.” I commanded on my bot, after my voice, the air-board turned left where the HQ is located.

Lining on the heads of ‘the gold’, three highest ranked personnel are assigned. Among these three, all of the them are the greatest force of the military.

First on the list, Admiral Z. He’s the best among the three based on survey, a man who possesses the power of command. With his dominance and power, he ended a war between regions by his authority, everyone is afraid of him

Second is Admiral Y. He’s known as the powerless in offense, a man with the greatest support and defensive power among individuals, fear him because he’s untouchable. No wonder if this planet reached its final, he’s the only one who’ll survive.

Final and the one who’s representing women, it’s my sister, X. Her capability? Nah, I don’t want to talk about her. She’s great and the only thing that bond us together is history, yeah, we both love history.

It’s always been a peace world, the earth where I live in is not that populated after most of humanities chose to live on a nearby planet, to start over. As for me and the rest, we don’t want to leave the planet where our past holds.

Total population of earth as of the present, it’s more than a hundred thousand even though it’s under on the restoration project held and lead by Admiral Z, some didn’t abandoned this planet including me.

“Arriving, The Gold HQ, one kilometer away.”

I was on my deep thought, who would’ve thought that an hour travel will feels like a minute? From afar, the symbol of peace can be seen. The headquarter as always are filled with staffs without the discrimination of different races.

The HQ has the usual way of entrance, to reach my target location, I’m gonna take the wormhole portal created by one of the elders.

For in fact, not all are given with the chance to enter the portal that leads to the head quarter’s official office, unless you have the authority from the elder itself, especially by the elder who specializes this portal where the link will be given for entrance without delay.

As I entered, I was lead on the control office, it was gigantic and a room full of whites. Staffs are wearing the usual uniform and when I saw the way that will lead to the Admirals’ office’s front door, I immediately entered.

From the outside, I saw my sister’s figure. “Here, it’s your invitation from school, again.”

I sighed, this is the fifth time that I got to get invited from the same school. I though my sister will give me a more exciting news or a book, I didn’t thought that it will be the same white envelope with my name on it.

Well, it’s not a typical school like the others where you got to learn academic formulas, science or calculations. When compared to the ancient curriculum, it’s what they call college, the difference is, you’ll be studying under a specific goal where you’ll ended, if you passed, as server of ‘the gold’.

My sister’s been there, it’s fun and a dream for others but not for me. Since my parents died serving this organization, I got the trauma that it will happen on me, in my sister’s case, it’s her dream so I didn’t interfere at all, even though there’s a fact that I got to live alone.

“X, you know this is not my thing.” Slightly irritated, I defended.

“Look, accept this and take my position.”

“The heck are you saying? As if it’s a snap to take the position of the admiral, I don’t even want to go on that school for Pete’s sake!”

I saw her eyes getting teary, with a slight anger, she called me by the name our parents gave. “Michelle, just this time, this time! Please listen to me.”

X and X1 are just the code names that was given on us by the government. From the very start, we have our usual formal names but as the government’s record and formal identity, a code name was given on all population.

“It’s still a no, I rather study and be free than be in that school, you know how much I hate being a force of ‘the gold’, this brings memories of Mom and Dad dying, in front of me.”
