I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [282]

"Is this... Tokyo!?"

The moment Reign opened his eyes, he saw skyscrapers engulfed in roaring flames—crumbling ruins scattered among them like corpses of a once-familiar world.

As a native of Tokyo, he recognized the city immediately. He’d lived here for over a decade. He knew its landmarks. And those landmarks were still standing... just barely. Weathered, faded, decayed—their facades told stories of abandonment and rot.

But that jarring sensation didn’t last long.

In the very next second, the world flipped upside down.

He suddenly realized—he was falling. High above the city, surrounded by clouds and howling wind, Reign plummeted through the sky.

The intense air pressure tugged violently at his tiny body, distorting his face—eyes watering, nose flattened, mouth wide open against the force.

—I'm falling from the sky.

The thought hit him like lightning, and his nerves snapped taut. His brain raced to find a way out.

Huh??

But his body moved faster than thought. Reflexively, he channeled magic—manipulating wind to soften his descent.

To his shock, it worked. Magic existed here—and not just existed, but surged with an intensity even greater than his original world.

For now, though, that was a good thing.

In an instant, a gentle wind current caught him, wrapping around him like a protective cocoon. He slowed, then landed gracefully on the ground.

“Yo~!”

As soon as he touched down, a voice greeted him. A boy, looking no older than twelve or thirteen, strolled over and spoke in surprise, “Huh?? A toddler? What’s a three or four-year-old doing in the Hyper Thought Acceleration Field? That’s way too weird.”

Reign instinctively took a step back, eyes wary.

The boy looked like he’d walked straight out of modern Tokyo—clad in casual urban clothes, holding a steel wrench like a worker's tool. The strangest part? His feet weren’t human at all—they looked like high-tech turbines, spinning faintly with energy.

Reign blinked. The sheer contrast between this boy and the magic world he knew left him frozen.

Before he could speak, the boy shook his head with a sigh. “Man... If I take this kid back to the guild, the big sis is gonna be happy—but she’ll shove all the childcare onto me. What a pain.”

Reign didn’t understand most of what the boy was muttering, but he did know that this person might be his only source of answers.

Back in the sky, he’d looked around. This Tokyo—painstakingly replicated yet eerily empty—had shown no other signs of life. Only this boy.

So without hesitation, Reign stepped forward and tugged on the hem of the boy’s jacket. He tilted his head upward, eyes glistening with innocent tears.

“Big brother... Where am I? Where’s my mama?”

His voice was soft and fragile, the perfect mimicry of a frightened toddler.

The boy sighed again, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one with a flick of his thumb. Smoke curled into the air as he muttered, “Alright, kid. You’re lucky you ran into me. Players who drop straight into the Tokyo Region of the Hyper Thought Acceleration Field? On average, they die a hundred times before they can escape. Some burn through all their points and still get stuck. Even a veteran like me has trouble here.”

“You? You hit the jackpot.”

Reign said nothing. He just stared with wide, watery eyes.

“Alright, alright, stop staring.” The boy rolled his eyes, flicked his cigarette to the ground, and crushed it with a stomp of his studded boots. “Guess I’ll be the kind one today and take you with me.”

With that, he rummaged through his backpack and pulled out what looked like a toy motorcycle model. Without explanation, he tossed it to the ground.

BOOM—

In a flash of mechanical fury, the model shook violently and transformed into a monstrous motorcycle. Its snarling engine and brutal industrial design roared to life.

“Get on.”

Before Reign could even blink, the boy grabbed him by the collar and lifted him onto the beast of a machine.

Then, this boy—barely eleven or twelve—gripped the handlebars with one hand and held a toddler in the other as he blasted through the ruins of Tokyo like a demon on wheels.

The motorbike's thunderous roar echoed through the broken city like a war cry, shaking the very air around them. It felt as though the entire world had melted away, leaving only the two of them behind.

This... this is freedom...

Reign had never experienced anything like it. In two lifetimes, he’d never imagined freedom could feel so intoxicating.

He squinted into the rushing wind, watching the scenery blur past—mesmerized. His mind went completely blank. He couldn’t think about how he got here, who this boy was, or what this place even was.

Time passed—minutes, or maybe hours. He couldn’t tell.

At last, the roar of the engine faded. The oppressive wind pressure lifted.

They had left behind the derelict cityscape. What appeared before Reign now... was something utterly alien.

A massive industrial complex spread out before them, alive with motion and light.

It looked like a scene from the future—automated factories with gleaming white, elliptical buildings made of unknown materials, standing across concrete plains like space-age domes.

Dozens of robots, some resembling washing machines on treads, zipped across the roads carrying various cargo.

Only a few young men and women, dressed in futuristic uniforms, moved briskly through the area.

“We’re here. This is our turf—Unmanned Guest Processing Services Corp. One of the top seven companies in the entire Hyper Thought Acceleration Field. We’re the ones who’ve mastered Singularity Technology, and we’re researching ways to make it usable in the real world.”

“Our ranking? Star of the Accelerated Domain. Just a sliver away from the final tier—Dust of the Terminal Domain. That one comes with rights to extract physical Singularity Tech into reality.”

The boy glanced down at Reign, who sat quietly in his lap.

“Look, kid. I know you don’t get it. I’m not expecting you to. But you’ll be here for at least a dozen years—trust me, you’ll understand eventually.”

“Time? In here? It’s the most abundant thing we’ve got.”
