Time Twister 8 Living Life On His Own

His father was different from his social mother; rather than focus on bioweapon development, his father was leading a research team on exploring and extrapolating astral bodies and physical phenomena related to Project: Starlight. This was a joint project among the 5 top conglomerates of the Eteria, and the research laboratory where his dad was in was one of the main laboratory per country. One of conglomerates was known for pioneering s.p.a.ce exploration, and thus they were heavily invested by multiple governments. Their supplies for rare metals and the ones that can take a hit from at least someone in the DemiG.o.d cla.s.s were dwindling, thus they could only slow down the progress of building the first manned s.p.a.cejet. However, recently they began increasing the speed of their work.

It seemed to coincide the time Xander was duplicating rare metals and rare materials along with gold. He did produce quite a handful of those metals, like around 500 tonnes? They were cheaply bought too, even if there was a high demand, low supply market for them; probably because Xander was in a rush to sell them.

Project: Starlight seemed interesting for Xander. He wasn't sure of the details, so he checked for a bit the doc.u.ments pertaining to it. After a while, he lost interest and he didn't care that much anymore, same as the biochemical weapon research his mom was doing.

After all, he already saw the absolute future for the next 2000 years. He just had to travel to a certain time in between 2000-3000 years to actually profit from his invested money in the banks. He then had to get physical augmentations available at that time period. No matter what his parents were involved into, it wouldn't cause any after-effects to the future of 2000 years from now. Most likely, it would be 20 to 200 years at most.

For example, the biochemical weapon? Although Eta would use it to a.s.sa.s.sinate figures that threaten the sovereignity of the country for the next 30 years, another superpower country, Nema, managed to discover its existence and publicized it to the world, causing a frenzy of negative public opinion towards the government of Eta to surface. Even a certain percentage of Eta's population were aghast about it.

After a few years it was revealed, a cure was produced, rendering the biochemical weapon useless.

Project: Starlight was the same; it ended around 200 years in the future. That's because they focused on creating weapons and armor that would allow a mythic or higher magician to fight in s.p.a.ce as easily as fighting on the planet surface, thus making survival easier. They had also planned to use it to colonize underdeveloped planets, as well as slay things that threaten them in s.p.a.ce easily.

Although they succeeded, it was just that the materials they used were so expensive! It was to the point that two of the vital component metals were completely depleted. In the end, they were only able to produce 20 sets of armor and weaponry, and due to low production, the funding was stopped and the project abandoned.

Time continued to pa.s.s by. Xander continued to self-study as well as replicate the raw materials that he had. He deposited the money he got from selling into a different bank account from one he was going to open 2000 years from now, planning to make it as his secondary account. When he sold another batch of raw priceless materials, he earned a staggering amount of 300 million Etas. For his primary account, he had already calculated the amount of Etas he would get as long as he didn't touch that account, which was around 141 octillion after 2000 years, and when converted to the universal currency, would result to 1.41 octillion Coins.

Eteria, 2057, July

Time pa.s.sed by quickly. Only a month was left before Xander had to begin his college life. Xander had already reached Elite-4 rank, just a bit further from Elite-5. He hadn't selected any spells to take in for his fourth magic seed, and decided to do so later.

With the money he had earned, he decided to move out of his parents' home and bought one closer to school, around 5 minutes walking distance. The villa's price was quite high, around 1.5 million Etas.

Of course, concerning the money, the lie he told them was that he was investing in the stock market and was easily able to get quick returns. His parents were both surprised, and in the end, agreed to their son's decision but sent him 3 bodyguards, and 2 housemaids to prepare for his daily necessities. At this, Xander haplessly agreed; afterall, they were thinking of his safety.

After informing his parents, he already prepared his items and personal belongings into a luggage. Of course, this luggage wasn't a simple one, but was modified by him to have 50x more s.p.a.ce, allowing him to place all his personal belongings into it.

Of course, his parents didn't know that it was like that and thought that the luggage only contained a few sets of clothes and some books. Xander exited his parents' house and booked for a car.

In less than 30 minutes, he was already at the front of his new house. His house was a typical, villa style mansion, with 2 floors and a garden plus a pool.

With his new spell, [Material Transformation], he was able to add small touches to the house. This was the very first Legendary spell that Xander was able to create with his abilities. He then added a bas.e.m.e.nt which was to be his laboratory while studying in college. He reinforced the material of the walls and floors and ceiling of the bas.e.m.e.nt, making it harder and more tensile than the strongest material in this universe, which was Adamantium. The material had both strong magical and physical properties, making it a good defense against spells, spirits, and well, physical weaponry.

He continued to create more modifications in the original blueprint of the house, such as creating a direct one-way from his room to the bas.e.m.e.nt, and bas.e.m.e.nt to the first floor. Additionally, he created sculptures where he imbued his magic signature in the bas.e.m.e.nt, which means that if someone who is not him enters the bas.e.m.e.nt, it would activate a spatial barrier + time acceleration of 5000 years targeting the cultivation level and biological processes of the one trespa.s.sing + Spatial rifts within that barrier.

He installed it for both the entrances and exits of the one-ways he made.

After 2 hours of modifying the house, he called for the guards and the maids hired by his parents inside the house.

The five people were lined up properly, awaiting his orders. Xander eyed them coolly. He had already received relevant information about these people.

Not surprisingly, they were from the military, which were a.s.signed to his family. All of them had a cultivation ranging from Master-3 to Master-6. It seems they could also be counted to protect the house if ever there was an emergency.

But for formalities sake, Xander asked them for their names, as he just couldn't reveal their militar code and rank.

The three bodyguards were Alan, Peter, and John. The 2 maids were twins, named Rolly and Polly. Of course, these were just aliases. Xander didn't care much but begun to tell them the rules in the house.

"Number 1, never enter the bas.e.m.e.nt. If you enter it without my consent or agreement, it is not my fault if you die due to the security measures I placed." He pointed at the inconspicuous door just behind the staircase leading to the 2nd floor.

"Number 2, once I enter my room, do not bother me unless you need to call me for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner. Use this transmitter to notify me." Xander gestured them to follow to the second floor and showed the transmitter embedded on the door to his room. He showed them how it worked and required them to register their biometrics in it, to avoid the security measures from activating in the second floor, and killing them.

"Number 3, do not linger around in the 2nd floor too long. There are security measures in place to detect living organisms. There is no need to clean the 2nd floor as it automatically cleans itself, even the rooms."

"Last but not the least, since you are experts in your respective fields, I hope you can deal with any problems that may occur when I am busy in the bas.e.m.e.nt or not in the house. The security lockdown measures placed in the house will only activate when all of you are dead. Hopefully it doesn't activate at all." Xander locked his eyes to each and every one of them, making them feel like their secrets where exposed, and their bodies where for all to see.

"Any questions?" Xander asked them, his voice authorative.
