Human Inner Earth Stronghold, year 2175.
The development of the human genome has advanced significantly over the last few centuries. By discovering a human elixir and making significant technological advancements, scientists and physicists have been able to increase the typical mortal's life expectancy by about 400 years.
Each new generation, upon reaching adolescence, receives an elixir known as the 'Power Serum.' This serum is injected and directly connected to their soul, disseminating throughout their entire body.
The genetic elixir creates a perfect equilibrium and unleashes the natural genetic strength present in the DNA of every human being. It acts as a catalyst to ignite the bio-nerves of the human body. One of the significant benefits of the Power Serum is its direct influence on the brain and nerves, allowing gifted individuals to unleash their innate talents by activating untapped potential to connect with universal energy. This empowerment enabled humans to manipulate natural elements, transforming them into unique beings possessing a blend of power, strength, and talent.
As the human's progressions bloomed, "Liana Leblaze" an enlightened sage found a method for preserving the soul of a deceased person after it separated from its body.
These technological breakthroughs, led the government enact a law that every individual should have a soul chamber in the one of the government sectors that is imprinted with soul fragment of every human beings. Should that person be destroyed or killed, the soul container will automatically activate to gather the soul that resonates the fragment on the container.
And the government will activate the soul and transfer it into new vessel as the new human body. This technology, technically makes the humans become immortal, allowing them to live for thousands of years by just transferring their soul to new vessel as the old body gets old.
In the Bureau of Prisonment, a government approach to managing overcrowded prisons involves stripping incarcerated individuals of their bodies. Only their souls are placed in a soul chamber, where they remain in a suspended animate state until they complete their thousand-year sentence.
Meanwhile, an alarm is continuously going off in one of the controlled facilities. Debries of the buildings wrecked from the blast scattered and mixed with corpes of stationed guards in the hallway, blood and gore littered, as the group of eight very skilled individual has taken over the prison to steal one of the prisoned souls that was in the costudy.
Every second ticked away while the motions and activities were computed. The leader signaled the moment he had secured the soul container in a chamber, and a medium-sized aircraft rocket beam exploded at the location. Their party finished the assignment and fled in a matter of seconds.
As soon as the distress signal reached the government defense's main command center during the siege, it automatically issued an alarm to the security personnel's immediate wristbands. These security elites arrived at the scene in under five minutes, yet all the group discovered was destruction.
The response team swiftly adjusted their approach and appeared to be used to similar operations, immediately shifting the operation to retrieval.
In the meantime, a loud explosion occurred at the door to a small safehouse where an old scientific doctor and a few of his associates were supervising the transfer of the soul into a special container.
BLAM!
Swossh!
Twelve individuals, all clad in dark metallic vests and carrying high-caliber laser rifles, emerged from the floating energy-powered vehicle as the entryway burst. Retrieving the stolen soul container is the responsibility of this government security squad's super elite unit.
moves with fluid expertise, anticipating their next step even in the absence of explicit guidance from the leader.
Bzzzt! Bzzzt!
Both sides were quickly targeted by the electromagnetic beams from the miniature laser guns. Swift, accurate, and skilled in their motions. The two groups traded strikes swiftly and fast in less than a minute.
While the fighting was going on, the command instructions of the other group supreme leader, relayed to her subbordinates as the soul transfusion process on the computer system was still going on, its nearing completion.
"Keep the machine safe!" A voice of a woman yelled to his staff.
"How much time you need to complete, doctor?"
Two minutes and 23 seconds, ma'am.
The leader's concern was hidden behind the dark, thin shades covering her face. Two minutes is excessive; in order to finish and last that long, they had to make sacrifices and distractions. They are up against a highly talented and formidable elite squad outside.
"Number 3 and 5. Secure the entrance!" The group is sanay na they only use the coded number in their operation.
"Number 6 and 4, with me; secure the doctor and ensure that the machine completes the transfusion.' While pointing her laser gun at the entryway habang sila ay uma-atras papuntang transfusion room.
"Copy, ma'am!"
Suddenly, there was another explosion in the entance. A loud ringing sound was the only thing that the member organizations could hear, destroying the transfusion machine and everything in it. And then the whole building blew up.
Bzzzt! BANG!
Sir, we were able to destroy the vessel at the last second and the transfusion failed, but we were unable to recover the prisoner's soul.
'You're certain it didn't transfuse?'
"Affirmative, sir!"
The government troops eventually left the location after gathering any evidence they could from the site and informed their superior officer that their operation had been successful.
After a moment of sighing, the commanding officer let out a snarl. 'I suppose the Dominator's time is over.'
A very skilled and elusive leader of "The Shadow Organization", this man has terrorized leaders or people for the past three centuries specially those corrupted one, none on his target list has ever survived. send shivers down the spine of any foe.
As the name gained notoriety, it eventually reached the highest leader of the realm, revealing the emperor's questionable decisions in the past. Consequently, the inner court recommended eliminating this individual and offering a substantial reward to anyone providing information leading to the capture of the infamous Dominator. Because of that decree, many government officials disappeared due to that, it is believed that the disappeared officials were killed by The Dominator as retaliation of the empire's decree.
The government troops intensify its operation discreetly, but on the outside, there is no news of anything, it was called a blackout operation of the government. A double agent, which is very closed to the said "Dominator", contributed the information as it provides the administration with a significant step in eliminating the major threat of the realm.
It took the government a decade to establish a connection and hire the second-in-command of that organization. Together they were able to subdue and murder him in a coordinated operation that uses elite government forces and exhausted almost half of the government coffer.

In the present day, in a little archipelagic nation in the world's southeast. There was a young man with bandage in his head, was in hospital bed and an ancqious middle age woman seated next to him.
"Ahhh! What just happened?" The young man wearing his medical clothes groans.
"John, don't be too hasty." The woman warned the youngman not to get out of bed, saying, "Your wound might get worse."
" Oh, dear I'm glad you're awake." 'I'll give your father a call immediately.
"My head hurts." The youngman, named John was in a coma for more than three days. That day, A plethora of recollections suddenly flooded the young John's memory. His existence as a high-ranking leader of an organization, the betrayal, and the people he knew all came back to his memory. Then followed by a more vivid memory, John was bleeding as he plummeted to the bottom of the cliff, he stumbled and his head was struck on a sharp edge of a rock and passed out, while hunting in the forest with his cousin—whom he thought of as an elder brother who was constantly by his side—pushed him down a cliff.
John surveyed his surroundings and pondered why he was at this familiar location.
'What prompted my return to my previous life?'
By now, he had reverted to his twelve-year-old self. The lovely woman at his side is his mother, Anne.
as he saw his mother's face, a feeling of deep longing from his heart overwhelmed him, as he spoke to his mother, "Hi Mom. I missed you."
It has been more than a century and a half that he hadn't seen his mother. Now that he's in front of her, his happiness was so overwhelming that he was unable to control it.
"I love you, dear. I was terrified to learn about your accident." As she strokes John's cheek, as tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm glad your big brother told your father right away."
That's when John recalls of what his adapted brother had done to him that resulted him in the hospital right now.
"I'm all right now, mom." 'You don't have to worry.'
"Good. Good son."
John immediately felt better after taking the medicine that the doctor had recommended and eating the meal that his mother had given him. But as his mind stabilizes, he rummages through his recollections to determine the precise circumstances of his ordeal. He was particularly concerned about the incident on Inner Earth when his soul and his companions were imprisoned in soul confinement chambers prior to his murder.
"I wonder what had become of them? I'll make sure that all of those who betray's me will surely pay double than what they have done."
After the doctor determines the health condition of John, he was transfer to his designated hospital room from the Intensive Care Unit, He and his mother were heading when John abruptly stopped walking and recalled something.
"CV? "His faint call." After his initial call went unanswered, he attempted to contact again using just his thoughts.
Bzzzz…bzzz.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Virtual Assistant Initializing... 2 percent…
Estimated time to complete in 3 days, 4 hours and 30 seconds.
It was then that John's odd response startled his mother. She paused as well and turned to face his son.
"Are you alright, John?" As she grasped his arms, the anxious woman turned to face John.
"Yes, yes." 'I'm all right, mom. Something simply came to mind. However, it's alright.' Then the two resumed their stroll to his assigned room.
'Why is the CV initializing?' 'However, I'm glad he's still in my system.' John's thoughts about his virtual assistant.
Every Organization member on the Inner Earth has a computer virtual assistant implanted into their soul to help them do their job. An AI device control, message management, appointment scheduling, computation, and information provision are just a few of the many functions this assistant is capable of. John was happy to see that his virtual assistant, or "CV," as he called it, was still on his system. He still possesses it, even if it is initializing, he would be aware of what transpired during his soul's imprisonment in his previous life while he is carcerated and without recollection.
As everything is started to settle down, John thought and smirk as he remembered what his adopted brother had done to him.
"That's right, I can go back and I can also correct all the mistakes that happened in my life here."
