...Shou runs, appearing exhausted and in severe pain due to lack of food. At that moment, he stops a short distance away, looking at a massive spaceship from which a strange, non-human entity emerges. Shou is extremely surprised.
..[What is this thing? It never moves, a strange entity wearing strange clothes]..
..Suddenly, Shou feels fear. The entity looks at Shou, raises some kind of weapon at him, and fires something resembling an electric shock that immediately causes Shou to lose consciousness. Then the entity speaks, saying: "Yes, he's the last of his kind on this small planet. He will be very useful for many new experiments."..
..A huge robot appears, grabs Shou, and brings him into the spaceship, while the other entity enters the ship. Suddenly, the ship takes off at high speed and exits Earth's orbit. There, the sun appears red and seems inflated after Shou was frozen for millions of years. At that moment, the ship's commander uses technology to open a wormhole, and the ship enters it..
..Inside the spaceship hurtling through the wormhole, the mysterious entity grabs the unconscious Shou and places him in a strange capsule. Then the mysterious entity speaks, saying: "This human entity's physique is strong and different from the others on the water planet. Also, they are conscious entities, slightly intelligent, but that's unimportant." Then the entity looks at the huge robot and says: "Robot, put the human-to-cyborg symbol number 002 on him." The robot then places the number 002 on the forehead of Shou, who is naked inside the capsule..
..After an unknown period of time, the spaceship arrives at a location in space outside the Milky Way galaxy, where the greatest civilization in the entire universe resides. These entities do not live on a planet, but in an artificial world larger than galaxies in size. Then the spaceship enters, passing through a transparent barrier towards the landing site..
..After several minutes inside Zone X, the unknown creature descends and takes Shou's capsule, heading towards the laboratory where the great scientists are. The unknown creature enters and hands Shou over to the scientists. One scientist opens the capsule, looks at Shou with fascination, and says: "This human entity is naturally strong in physique. Also, his skin shows cracks, and his vital organs are extremely exhausted." Then the scientist says: "Put him in the circle now."..
..The scientists grab Shou and place him in a circle with huge pipes made of unknown metals. They insert Shou's hands and feet into the pipes embedded in the ground, which firmly grip his limbs. Suddenly, Shou wakes up in terror, hearing incomprehensible words in a language he cannot understand. The lead scientist, who had studied Shou's body moments ago, looks at Shou and tells the other scientists: "Put him to sleep now. We will replace his heart and all those vital organs now." The scientist also looks at the entity that brought Shou from the planet and says: "Tell the authorities, Bet, that turning him into a soldier while erasing his memory will be very useful. This body of his can withstand type three technology."..
..Bet is surprised and immediately heads to the authorities. Meanwhile, amidst Shou's screams, one of the nurses gives him an injection that makes him lose consciousness. At that moment, his chest splits open, and inside Shou..
..[Even though I'm unconscious, I can still feel. My mind is still working… At that moment, Shou feels a very hot sensation where his heart is and says internally: "Oh, are they emptying me? Are they modifying me?"]..
..Scientist Oxford looks at the other scientists and says: "This human entity can withstand type three technology without a doubt. We will obtain a high-level soldier. He has withstood the new energy core replacing his old heart. And now, scientists and doctors, work and replace his remaining organs. We will also replace his bones with nanotechnology." Then Oxford injects something into Shou's brain. At that moment, inside Shou, he begins to understand the language of those entities..
..Inside Shou's mind, listening to them: [It seems they did something that made me understand their language. Also, they changed my heart. Hmm, strange, I still feel the same emotions despite my heart being changed. So is it what humans who believe in metaphysical things call the soul that preserves all my emotions? Or what?]..
..After several hours, Oxford stands smiling and says: "Well done. Only one thing remains." Then he presses a lever on the wall. Suddenly, Shou wakes up to see his body covered with a strange black armor, with tiny, precise holes all over it. He looks at Oxford..
Shou: "Where am I and who are you? [In the end, will entities I don't even know determine my destiny?]"
Oxford: "No time for explanation, human—or better to say, semi-human. Even your brain has been modified with stronger, more complex sensors. Now, it doesn't matter." Then Oxford presses another lever. At that moment, a blue beam descends from the ceiling onto Shou's head, causing him to scream in pain..
Oxford: "Don't worry. You'll just lose all your memories."
..[Will there be light? It was just a faint light no one could see, a false hope. Will I lose my identity and everything? Is this fair?]..
..Suddenly, Shou completely loses all his past memories. Then he opens his eyes, looking at Oxford..
"Who am I? Are you my creator?"
Oxford: "Your name is 002, and yes, I am your creator. You will follow your creator, won't you?"
002: "Yes, sir."
..Then Oxford removes the tubes from his limbs and implants a chip behind Shou's neck that will make Shou obey anyone holding a specific badge. Oxford then leaves the experiment room, telling Bet, who had returned: "The second experiment succeeded even better than the first one. Now, have Mr. Zoldick, head of the war department, come and see the merchandise himself."..
..Bet listens to Oxford's request and contacts President Zoldick, who was already present in Zone X where experiments on entities from various planets and galaxies take place. After a few minutes, Zoldick arrives and looks at Oxford, saying: "Surprise me—there are still entities that can withstand type three technology? Is that true, Oxford?"..
..Oxford smiles and says: "That's partially true, sir. I didn't give him ordinary type three technology. No, it's the superior, top-tier type. This could put him at the Lord rank after years, indeed."..
..Zoldick is extremely surprised. He extends his hand to Oxford, who gives him something resembling a microwave device—whatever word is spoken into this device, 002 will immediately obey..
Oxford: "Here is the Cosmo. You can stop it at any time and give 002 freedom of movement as he wishes, and at the same time, freedom of decision-making. It's currently active. Here you are." Oxford hands the Cosmo to Zoldick and says: "I must be promoted at the earliest opportunity. This experiment was much harder than the previous one. Also, don't forget: the energy currently powering his body will only last for a few million years to keep him alive. The artificial heart powered by black hole energy needs to be recharged from time to time using weapons, which you of course know about. Now I must go, Mr. Zoldick."..
..Zoldick smiles, appearing happy, and says: "Don't worry. At the earliest opportunity, I will work on getting you promoted. Also, how many weapons do you think I should give him?"..
Oxford: "Through his magnetic field, he can control six weapons, of course after training. Now, excuse me. I have other experiments to work on. Also, don't forget, experiment 002 is special. He's in the room, standing in place waiting for orders."..
..At that moment, Oxford leaves, leaving Zoldick and Bet. Then Zoldick heads into the room where 002 is..
..Zoldick speaks using the Cosmo: "002, follow me now." At that moment, 002 moves, exits the room, and passes by Bet, who feels immense pressure causing him to suddenly bleed from his nose. Zoldick smiles, showing admiration for 002, and says: "Bet, go home now. When I need you, I'll call you." Bet complies with Zoldick's order, holding his heavily bleeding nose while the veins in his body are on the verge of bursting. Zoldick speaks to himself: "This is interesting. The gravitational effect of his mere presence is terrifyingly powerful, even though he hasn't used his power. Excellent. I wonder what he'll do in battle? I need to keep at least 5 meters between us so nothing happens to me." Then Zoldick speaks using the Cosmo: "002, follow me while staying 5 meters away from me." 002 replies: "Yes, sir," and follows Zoldick..
..After a few minutes, Zoldick enters a place filled with many other soldiers of various technological types. Some other soldiers are surprised, and one whispers to his friend: "That's the human modified with superior type three technology. Amazing." His arrogant friend replies: "I don't care. That doesn't necessarily mean he's strong. Power isn't just technology; it's experience and presence on the battlefield."..
..Zoldick enters a massive hall where soldiers are training. At that moment, 001 appears, looking at 002. Her alien friend whispers to her: "Oh, so that's 002. He's very handsome. He seems like a semi-human, just like you." 001 shows indifference and tells her: "I don't care. And don't call me semi-human again. You know I don't like that word."..
..At that moment, Zoldick greets his friend Edward and tells him: "This is 002. He'll be under your care, okay? Train him." Then Zoldick speaks using the Cosmo, telling 002: "You must follow this man and obey his orders from now on." Zoldick looks at Edward and says: "This kid is special, trust me. Also, Oxford said he can control six weapons through his electromagnetic field using only his advanced brain."..
..Edward looks at Zoldick and smiles, saying: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him and teach him all the basics. The first lesson will start shortly, actually." Zoldick smiles and says: "Very good. I have to go. You know I have many matters to attend to. I'll be back when it simulates night, in about 7 hours, okay?"..
Edward: "Okay, don't worry. He already looks strong even though he's a beginner and doesn't know how to use his technologies and abilities. But I'll teach him all that, as I'm an entity with type three technology too—though not the superior kind."..
..Zoldick smiles and leaves..
..Edward wipes his hand, looks at 002, and says: "You look strong." Edward then approaches 002, activating his own technology, and smiles, saying: "Follow me, 002. Stand in that spot over there." 002 complies with Edward's orders and silently moves to the designated spot..
..At that moment, Edward stands before the row of soldiers, all standing side by side like a fortress. Edward paces back and forth, speaking: "You soldiers must know what your primary mission is. It's very simple: you must destroy any planet where a civilization is about to reach a high level of development. But don't worry, we're not brutal. First, we must invite them to peace—you call them to come as our slaves in exchange for sparing their lives and, of course, taking all their technology. Is that understood?"..
..All the soldiers speak as one voice: "Understood, sir."..
..Suddenly, the watch on Edward's hand rings, and an unknown person calls Edward to come immediately. Edward speaks, saying: "I'll go for just a few minutes and return shortly." He speaks to himself: [I wanted to deactivate the Cosmo on him so he could have free will, consciousness, etc., but unfortunately I don't have it with me now.] Then Edward leaves for a few minutes..
..Everyone moves around, while 002 stands in place like a robot—not blinking, not speaking, standing motionless, merely awaiting orders. Then 001 approaches and stands before him, looking at him..
..Her friend Theobi speaks, saying: "Feri, it seems the Cosmo hasn't been deactivated on him yet. He hasn't even chosen a name for himself like we have."..
..Feri (001), who possesses type two technology, stands looking into 002's eyes, appearing angry, and says: "You're just a god with no consciousness like us. What makes you special?" She speaks to herself: [I've hated humans for a long time for an obvious reason: they're terrible entities. My father killed my mother when I was young. My lover betrayed me. I worked as an investigator and got over it. I found another lover, and it turned out he was also cheating on me with another woman. My grandfather had a criminal history that forced the authorities to investigate our family for years.]..
Feri: "Speak, you." At that moment, Feri tries to push 002 backward, but he doesn't move—like an extremely solid, strong wall. Theobi looks at Feri and tells her: "Take it easy, girl, stop that. He has nothing to do with anything."..
..Feri spits in 002's face while 002 stands motionless as if nothing happened. Theobi grabs her friend and moves away from 002's location..
..At that moment, Edward returns, ready for the first lesson to begin..
