First chapter is here!

Spoiler for Chapter 1: Trespassing Meteorite :

I will never forget the day when Grandpa died few years ago....

He called me into his room one day. Lying on his bed, dying like a human with....every breath could easily be his last.

“Yuulin.... ” He said in a gentle voice.

Every time Grandpa uses this voice, he has a big favour to ask and has no intention of rewarding you after you finish. But at that time I was too emotional to notice it.

“Yes, Grandpa.” I move closer, my voice trembled.

“Could you promise to do something for me?”

“What is it? Grandpa?”

“You have to promise me first.”

“I promised.” Overwhelm by emotion, I hastily promised without knowing the exact detail.

“Give me your hand....”

I stretch out my hand. He dropped a tear-shaped pendant onto my hand.

“What do you want me to do?” I asked him.

“Something which I always wanted, the core in your hand is not just a weapon but a key, the answer to the current problem this world is facing. One day, it will save the world and bring forth peace to the world. But right now, it is incomplete... I wanted you to finish what I started....”

“But Grandpa....”

“Yes, Yuulin?”

“How am I going to do that?”

“Huh?”

“How am I going to ‘save the world and bring forth peace to the world’?”

Both of us fall silent, it seems like he did not have the answer himself.

“Terraforming! Change the uninhabitable world into a safe haven for everybody!”

He suddenly declared. It is quite obvious that he made that up last minute.

“How do I make a terraforming machine? What is a terraforming machine supposed to do?”

“Look! Your grandma is here for me!” He pointed behind me.

I turn around and saw nothing. I heard something dropped on the floor and I turned back to Grandpa.

“There is nothing there Grandpa...Grandpa? Are you alright, you look a little blue..”

“ARGH!” Grandpa suddenly clenched his chest and released his last breath.

At first, I thought it is just mere coincidence that he died before he could answer my question. But it was later that I found out that he deliberately pull off the power cord to his life support just so that he can avoid answering my question.....

----

I opened my eyes to the unfamiliar ceiling.

I could barely see two blur silhouettes of people.

I heard that before somebody die, they can see silhouettes of their dead love one nearby...Since I only had one dead relative.....Could this means....

“Grandpa! You really can split up into two!” I exclaimed.

Only to have my vision returned to normal... the silhouette turn out to be strangers, two women to be exact, whom I had never met in my life.

“Geh!” I cried out of embarrassment.

“Could it be that the impact may her go a little....crazy?” the strangers with green hair asked the beautiful woman with long black hair.

“Crazy or not, she still has lots of explanation to do....” the black hair woman wearing scowling face replied before facing me.

"Little girl, you have lots of answering to do.” The woman said in a demanding and forceful voice.

I nodded.... knowing very well that it is impossible to escape now.

“What’s your name and where do you come from?”

“My name is Ryon Yuulin.... I came from the island east of here.” I answered honestly.

“...........”

Both women fall silent.

“She really had gone crazy.....” The rude green-hair woman who called me crazy spoke out again.

“We are not playing around here Miss, I want you to tell me the truth: Where do you came from?”

“I came from the island east of here!” I cried out.

I do not get it. They kept asking me where I came from but kept rejecting my answer! I was really testing out the flight function of the Suit on the island east of here!

The woman with black hair sighed.

“Since you are not going to give us a straight answer, let move on to more important question...Where do you get that IS?”

“Geh!”

Indeed! I cannot exactly tell them about the Sphere machine.... they will turn it into war machine! Or even worst: A water fountain!

I need to lie!

“I-It fell from the sky!” I proclaimed. The two women just stared at me blankly.

Not enough? How about this!

“The IS asked me, Am I its master? Then aliens started dropped from the sky! I got no choice but to pilot the machine to escape from them! I tried to pilot the machine but I failed and end up falling here....”

The black hair woman put her hand on her head and sighed.

I think I went overboard on that lie.

“Could the aliens be....” The Green hair woman asked the black hair woman.

“Most likely IS drones....” The black hair woman replied. “We didn’t release the information into the public so they probably think that they are aliens....”

What! They actually believe that lie?!

“I have done the paperwork is done...” A third woman with red hair entered the room. “Oh, our new student is awake at last.”

“Geh?” I looked at them, head slightly tilted with puzzled expression.

“As the only person who can activate that IS core of yours, you had been accepted as a student of ISA, welcome to your new school Ryon-kun...” The Green hair woman said with a smile on her face.

“GEH!!!!!!???”

Sorry Grandpa, your last wish of saving the world had to be postponed.....
