He and Sonya stood in front of a massive 17-story building twice as wide as it was tall.
Eight flags were aligned in a straight line at the front of the building showcasing the importance of this place.
Out of the flags that were displayed, five of them had emblems representing the founding families. Unfortunately, one of these flags was lowered and burned.
The remaining three had symbols representing the national park - a tree, a caped hero holding a scale and sword, and the police headquarters' emblem of a turtle with four-star stripes.
Walking down the straight path, they noticed many police vehicles lining both sides. The vehicles varied in size and were armed with various weapons, including tanks and helicopters with weaponry.
As he approached the HQ building, the path widened to the size of six lanes, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of intimidation, as if he was walking into the jaws of a predator.
An officer approached them as they arrived at the glass-like door resembling a gate.
The officer was dressed in the typical police uniform, which consisted of a dark-blue jacket and black pants featuring purple stripes running down each side.
He had a belt equipped with a stun baton resembling a sword, capable of rendering an average person unconscious with just one blow.
On his left wrist, he wore a black watch resembling a spider with a red screen. He also carried other equipment intended for law enforcement purposes.
As they approached, he tapped his watch screen and a red light appeared, scanning them both.
Beep Beep
As the sound subsided, the officer checked his watch with a concerned expression. However, he soon smiled and gave the go-ahead, saying, "You're all clear to proceed." Walking forward, ...
Walking past the officer he asked in confusion. “Did he just let us pass?”
Sonya smiled but remained silent, leaving him to ponder over his own assumption.
As they entered, they were greeted by a spacious hall featuring the emblem of the headquarters on the floor, surrounded by a plethora of holograms.
Suddenly, a hologram materialized like a ghost emerging from the ground.
Upon their arrival, it warmly greeted them and provided guidance on where to proceed in accordance with their specific requirements and regulations.
The headquarters comprises multiple department sections that accommodate numerous employees and visitors in the building.
They rode the elevator up to the ninth floor, where the human resources department is located. Beyond that floor lies the meta-human department.
Ding
Upon reaching the ninth floor, Sonya instructed him to proceed straight ahead and enter the room on the right. She mentioned that she would be submitting a report during his stay in the room.
There were three individuals waiting in the room, while long chairs were positioned on either side.
He approached a ticket machine located near the entrance, retrieved a number, and then proceeded to take a seat to await his turn.
While he set there he started to talk to the system.
Having the unknown thing calling itself a system inside him was something he never heard of and knowing they were bonded together he had to know whether it would be beneficial to him going onwards.
‘A-T brief me in on what this system is capable of?’ He called out to the assistant which calls itself A-T.
He is labeling it without any knowledge or desire to investigate but assumes its precision due to its mechanical nature.

[Yes Host]
[The system is divided into three functions, each with a distinct purpose.]
[At the moment, the function being utilized is the dinosaur base function.]
[The host is responsible for completing missions assigned by the system, and upon successful completion, the host receives rewards.]
‘Wait what?’ Before A-T can continue the explanation he interrupted with a worried mind…
[Do not worry host A-T will be assisting you on your missions.]
‘That’s a relieve!’ He pondered for a second before asking another question, ‘How big will this impact my life?’
[That is up to the host… However, A-T suggests the host must ready himself.]
"What?" he exclaimed, as a sense of apprehension set in about his future.
[The host has 5 hours left until the first mission is issued.]
Mmhmm…
He was preparing himself for any unusual event that might happen in the future, but suddenly he was jolted by a sudden memory.
‘What of my memory during the bonding?’
He has one persistent issue - he can't recall anything from the moment he went to bed after arranging the meeting with them, and all subsequent events.
Metro Citedal is 3.584 million miles square big and is divided into nine 9 cities one of these cities being the national park, and from his home city to this place would take a time of 2 days to travel by car it's a wonder how he got here.
[During the host's body repair, the system prioritized internal fixes such as reconstructing the bones and organs to better accommodate its functions.]
[Regarding the host's memory, it was affected by a previous head injury before the bonding process. However, the host has since fully recovered and those memories should return within approximately 17 hours.]
‘So you’re telling me I can recover from any injuries?’ He smirked clenching his fists tightly.
[Yes host can recover from injuries with long recuperations when the host was bonding with the system it took 158 hours for the host to recover completely.]
“No… that’s impossible I remember it was the 19th yesterday.”
He jump from his seat with confusion and sweat on his face clearly in disbelieve what he heard.
[The system does not lie and has counted for how long it was shut down since bonding with the host.]
The three people who were sitting close by looked at him with weird looks.
Of the three one was a female who had a disgusted look on her face distancing herself and the other two were meta-humans a white goose and a black retriever.
Detective White Goose: a detective who lives to find the truth. Detective Retriever: a detective who lives to eat but is greatly good at finding clues.
A week ago when the authorities closed the case of No. 0002 saying it was an accidental death after not finding his body in the river they received a mission to investigate the two men who were there arguing with him before his fall.
The reason why they are is that they received a clue that the identity watch of No. 0002 was here at the HQ in the human resource department.
Detective White Goose turned his head and with one glance of the young man, he turned away as he had already figured out every detail about him.
The young man had no identity watch and was as strong as a lion or tiger meta-human.
Based on his torn clothes that look custom designed, it appears that he comes from a wealthy background. However, it seems that he has lost his watch either due to an encounter with shady individuals who are notorious for taking identity watches when they are not paid what they are owed, or perhaps he lost it while gambling while inebriated. Regardless of how he lost it, his presence in the Human Resources department suggests that he is not a criminal.
Sniff Sniff
Detective Retriever sniffed around his ears standing up.
“My friend did you hit your head today is the 26th of July, how do I know you ask it’s because yesterday was my wedding anniversary.”
Receiving no reply from the man he corrected he cleared his throat, “Ahm…”
“Perhaps I should introduce myself as my partner says manners are the key to knowing the truth…”
With an arm in his chest and one arm raised his eyes shone.
“I’m Detective Retriever…”
He prolonged the last part wanting to sound cool.
As he gazed into the retriever's gleaming eyes, he found himself at a loss for words. He struggled to find a way to respond without giving away his identity.
It was evident that he had undergone a significant transformation as he appeared different from his previous self. Additionally, the fact that he had been cured of something that had previously been unattainable through his wealth added to the gravity of the situation.
There are several questions that he may be asked, including how this situation came to be. Additionally, he may face the possibility of being accused of impersonating someone else by the authorities. In extreme cases, they may even conduct experiments on him in order to uncover the secrets of his cure.
“Ahm… My name is Rex.” At this moment, he decided to walk a different life than before with a new identity.
