A few minutes later, after the elevator door opened, Nathan arrived in a dark room and he could see nothing there.

The lights in the place suddenly lit up and displayed various tools from electronics to equipment commonly used in a workshop.

Nathan walked while amazed to see the equipment in the place because the devices there were all really very advanced for his era.

Nathan's gaze then turned toward the sighting of someone who was silent facing a large monitor.

With curiosity Nathan approached the figure and when approaching he was surprised to see that the appearance of the person who only lived skull only.

Although there was a human skull, Nathan saw no trace of murder in that place and did not notice any foul smell there.

Nathan's gaze was then diverted towards the large monitor in front of the human skull and out of curiosity he finally turned it on.

As soon as the monitor lit up Nathan could see a man wearing a white robe like the one worn by the human skull and make him understand that he was the same person.

With a cough of blood the man then began to speak. "O bad boy, do you still remember me?" Greet the man from behind the monitor.

Nathan, who heard the words from the man's tape, was confused because he himself did not recognize it.

The man suddenly laughed and said, "It seems you've forgotten your own uncle, Nathan Xander..."

"My uncle? Do I have any? Why would he know about me?" Nathan said with a confused expression.

The man who claimed to be Nathan's uncle laughed again and showed a photo, in the photo there was Nathan who was only five years old was being carried by a man who claimed to be his uncle.

Nathan, who saw a picture of himself being held by the man, could not remember it, but he knew if the photo was true.

"It looks like you've completely forgotten your Uncle Chris... I don't care and you must be wondering why I know what you're saying, right?" Said Chris while keeping a picture of himself with little Nathan back in the pocket of his robe.

Nathan nodded and then Chris began to explain to his nephew.

Chris then began to tell about a secret project that he was working on with his brother-in-law, the father of Nathan and also his brother, the mother of Nathan.

The project that the three are working on is a new element and can produce an unlimited amount of electrical energy.

Their goal was to provide free electricity to the community but it was opposed by a group of people who were investors of their project.

Instead of being afraid they continue the project secretly and create a prototype based on the original project where the energy produced is not eternal because it is always urged by investors.

"You may have seen the prototype that's now in your father's company and used to power the tools there..." Chris Said.

The company referred to by Chris is Xander Industries where the company makes a variety of military equipment.

Although the company belongs to Nathan's father, but actually 80% of the shares are owned by investors and Nathan's parents only have 20.

Although now 20% of the shares have been taken over by relatives of Nathan who want to have the wealth of his parents.

From the table in front of Chris' skull appears a capsule, where there is a V-shaped object that gives off a blue light.

"Take it as a gift from us and never fall into the wrong hands. One more thing, happy birthday Nathan..." Chris said with a smile before the recording ended.

After seeing the video footage of his uncle Nathan trying to calm himself for a moment.

Nathan sat next to Chris' skull and watched footage of what had happened.

He could see both his parents and Chris who were working on their project even Nathan saw his young self there was interfering with their work.

Because it was not able to stand Nathan finally turned off the monitor in front of him and massaged the area between his eyes.

"So is this why you bought this house for me, Echelon..." Nathan said with a smile to hold back his current sadness.

"Truly my master bought this house for you. Actually I found this house for sale while identifying the identity of the master. It seems you have a hard time remembering the events of the past after the accident a few years ago, and that's why I want to slowly restore your memory." Reply Echelon.

Nathan let out a long sigh and confirmed what Echelon had said that he had a brain injury and made him a bit of a memory in the past after the accident along with his parents.

Nathan's gaze then turned toward the skull of his uncle Chris and he was curious why he could die and seemed to know the future events.

"Echelon what do you think makes my uncle dead in this place and why does he seem to know what the future holds?" Ask Nathan.

"Sorry sir, but I don't know yet like you either..." Reply Echelon.

Feeling that he did not get an answer from Echelon, Nathan looked at every corner of the room to find a little clue until he saw there was a CCTV there.

Nathan then searched the CCTV data contained in the storage server in the room using his mobile phone.

The efforts made by Nathan did not produce results because in fact all CCTV footage in the room has been removed by Chris for a reason.

Brakk!!!

Due to frustration Nathan immediately hit one of the twenty server racks in the room until it was damaged. He did not understand why the CCTV footage was deleted as if something important was hidden from him.

Nathan, sitting on the floor, looks at Chris' skull and walks up to him.

When Nathan observed the skull of his uncle he saw that there was an object that was being held tightly by Chris.

Curious Nathan opened Chris's hand and found a stone shining green and carefully picked it up.

"What is this thing?" Nathan muttered while looking at the green shining stone in his hand with curiosity.

Suddenly the stone gave off a brighter green glow and Nathan dropped to the floor.
