"Seriously screw the stairs, my legs are wobbling again, goddamnit I should file a complaint against that damn landowner."

Alexander angrily grumbles, his face is now sweaty, his leg wobbling around like a noodle, as his hands gripped hardly at the railings, he is still at the fifth floor of his apartment still a long way to go to get to the parking lot, after a while swearing and walking.

Alexander arrived at the parking lot, the parking lot is spacious and sleek with blue Holo light that marks the parking area, with no cars parked except for Alexander's car, Alexander's footsteps echo around the parking lot.

Alexander then walked to his car, the car is simply plain an old model that can be run using gasoline or be charged using the mana batteries on the car, it is a boring black car with no advance features, even the junkies have this type of model. Alexander arrived at his car, he then took a Holo ID at his bag, and scanned it to the car's window, the car then opened and Alexander went inside.

"Welcome back Mr. Weiss, do you want to drive automatic or manual, Mr. Weiss?"

The car's AI spoked to Alexander in a butler's voice, Alexander thinking of his predicament due to him having DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), he's leg still shaking trying to put it on gear, but Alexander took a medicine on his briefcase and drank it, he's legs are not shaking anymore. Alexander then spoked.

"Manual and also set the radio to Station 9."

"Of course, sir, have a safe drive Mr. Weiss."

The car's stereos and LED's light up, a voice of a man and woman can be heard.

Alexander then shifts the car's gear and then drove off to the exit of the parking lot.

"Good morning once again Nightfell city! It is a beautiful morning don't you agree Nina?

"Of course, Tom, hey have you heard that the Regenleif Corporation have a new CEO, they say that she is the genius business tycoon that will take the world through a storm, and also she is trying to make all products discounted for 20 percent!"

"20 percent! I can finally buy that damn sextatron 6900 Nina! Huff huff, I can't damn wait to fu-, whoops sorry about there folks gotta keep it PG, if you know what I mean."

As Alexander listen to the radio, he then encountered homeless people doing drugs on the streets, Alexander just ignored it and just proceeded to drive, it's just a few more kilometers to reach his clinic.

"Tom, do you know that this CEO invented a new technology in her own two hands, she called it the Mana Cybernetic Implant!"

"Ohh interesting what is this implant do Nina?"

"Well according to the statement released by the Regenleif Corporation, it said that this implant can give new magic powers that you can choose!"

"That is good to be true Nina, this can make mankind much stronger and better, this makes me exited for the future Nina! Oh right, you keep mentioning this CEO inventions, but what is her name?"

"Sorry about that Tom, her name is-. "

Boom! Boom! Crackle….crackle…..

Alexander was shocked, because of the loud explosion, Alexander can't see through his windshield as the smoke blinded him, Alexander then put his foot hard in reverse, after the smoke has settled, Alexander eyes widen.

"A fucking gang war, this early on the morning, shit gotta get the fuck out now!"

Alexander quickly turns his car to the opposite direction, but one of the gang member notices and quickly gave chase, the gang member has speed boosting magic and quickly caught up to Alexander, the gang member punch and broke the driver side of the mirror and try to shoot him in the head.

"Oi, you fucking piece of corpo trash! You think you can get away from me, I'll fucking drag you out that fucking car and fucking chop your limbs off!"

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Alexander then quickly took his MRS (Mana Reinforced Sidearm) on the compartment, and he try to aim his gun at the gang member, but Alexander was having a hard time due to him driving his car.

Gunshots was fired but Alexander luckily did not get hit, he then fired back but some of his shots are all miss, Alexander then tries to hit the gang member with his car but the gang member dodged.

"Fucking shitty gang druggo, AI set driving to automatic you handle the driving get us to the clinic now!"

Alexander was absolutely pissed, the thought of him that he will be late on his appointment, made him livid. Alexander then aimed his gun at the gang member, but the gang member keeps firing his pistol at Alexander suppressing him, until the gang member run out of ammo.

"Fuck you, die you fucking shit stain."

Alexander then fire all of his bullet, essentially emptying his magazine, but some of the shots hit the gang member on his body, and finally to the head, this sends the gang member tumbling down the streets, hitting his head hard on the asphalt road leaving some brain matter stains.

"Huff… huff… I thought that road is safe …. Huff, I need to find another route again, goddamnit at least it is only one of them this time."

Alexander's face is tired, he then took a cigarette on his, pocket and starts to smoke it, the car has some bullet holes left due to the encounter, but the windshield surprisingly did not get hit, Alexander then searches a music playlist on his stereo and starts to listen, he then checks his watch it is 8:07.

"Thank god I am not late, well I am almost there, I need to clean myself up can't let my patient see me in this ugly state."

Alexander grumble softly, he then smokes his cigarette while enjoying the city view, the car automatically drives itself, even the if the owner is not holding the steering wheel, after a while he then arrives at his clinic, the car then parked itself on one of the Holo lights.

"We have arrived Mr. Weiss, I hope you have a nice day" The butler AI voice spoke.

The Clinic is a small building that is 2 floors, the painting of it is color white with red holographic neon lights, that reads Weiss Therapy and Rehabilitation.

Alexander then made his way to the entrance of the clinic, taking a Holo ID on his suitcase, he then put it in detector of the door, and then it opens.

Revealing a clean well decorated therapy room, the room gives a sense of homely feel due to the use of muted sage green color of the walls, with a floral pattern that is not distracting to the eyes.

A large window, that reflecting the sunlight on the furniture's it is also draped by a light-colored curtain, in one corner a bookshelf, that is full of psychology books and classic literature, and the chairs are made leather, that exudes classiness and taste.

The tables are made of hardwood with colored resin, to give it sense aestheticism, and flowers that is put center of the tables giving it calm feeling. Alexander then made his way to the second floor, he then opens the door, that reveals a clean office room, with a computer at the side and a couch on the other, at the center is a table made of Mana wood, the room is pleasing even with minimal design there are picture frames of his family, but all of them are missing their faces.

He then checks the time it is 8:45, Alexander then heads towards the bathroom, he then washes his face, cleans his suit and reapply his perfume, alexander the made way to the first floor carrying his suitcase, he then sits at the chair and took a notepad, he then reads it.

Patient powers are blood manipulation, it is unknown that it can control other people bloodstream.

Patient suffers from Separation Anxiety Disorder, causes of this are unknown need to probe out the patient for more information

Patient's past is not clear, information of her is limited.

Patient suffers from abuse and emotional trauma, due to her father but files states that, but the Separation Anxiety Disorder has been discovered in 2054.

Patient requested me as the Therapist, but not the experienced Therapist that was suggested to her.

Alexander then checks the time on his watch 8:58 he then readied himself and awaits the time, he then put the notepad in his suitcase and put it near his side. Alexander then mentally counts on his mind.

The door then opens revealing ten people, they wear advance black armor that is sleek and futuristic with AMCS written on their right shoulder, their faces are covered which looked like a skull mask, each of them carries variety of guns, some of the have rifles and shotguns and even some have swords, but the most eye-catching is the one carrying a twin rocket launcher.

An AMCS personnel with a sword attached on his right hip approached Alexander, he then extended his hand for greetings, and Alexander respond in kind both of them are shaking their hands, the AMCS personnel then let's go, he then spoke in a robotic voice.

"Greetings Dr. Weiss, I am called 6182, sorry I can't divulge my name it is due to strict regulations; I hope you understand because of it."

"It is fine, 6182 I hope you find my clinic, suitable for therapy, but may I ask where is Miss. Carter?."

"Miss. Carter is still at the Personnel Carrier she is guarded, by 30 more men outside, but rest assured the board of directors, has allowed your safety to be upmost priority."

6182 then gives something to Alexander, the man then explained.

"This is a distress beacon Dr. Weiss press the button and then we will rescue you if Miss Carter tries to kill you, well then I hope you good luck we will take our leave."

6182 and all of the AMCS personnel leaves, leaving behind Alexander alone, the door the closes, after a while a familiar face then opens the door, her blood red ruby eyes looking directly at alexander.

"Miss. Carter have a seat, I hope you find my humble clinic suitable for you."
