Chapter 2 The Dork!
Present-day, 2056, 12th March
Ding! Ding! Ding!… ( sound of alarm-clock)
"Master Bobby, time to wake up! Time to wake up! It's already 6 O'clock."
"Wakey wakey, sleepyhead!"
A female AI voice kept speaking repetitively.
Ding! Ding! Ding!…
"It's 6:30 Am. Now, I am playing your favorite song." The AI spoke.
🎶 Hey girl, hey girl 🎶 (Upbeat Pop song)
🎶 From the day I meet you 🎶
🎶My heart is never the same 🎶
🎶It keeps beating, boom boom boom 🎶
…
A lanky boy stood up from his bed. He stretched his body and went inside the bathroom.
During his shower, he spoke. " Lucia, show me today's MBC morning news."
Then suddenly a small ball flew beside him and started flashing light. It projected a holographic body of a hot female news anchor.
"Good morning! I am Julia Hills. Right now on the morning news today, the 7th Johnson Space Corp under the command of Captain Jean Carlos has successfully driven out those angels from the delta belt region. Now, the delta belt region will become the colony of our earth again." And she continued reading the important highlights of the latest news.
The boy came down with a fancy backpack. He also wore a pair of thick glasses.
"Good morning Bobby! Come, come. I have prepared pancakes for today's breakfast." Margaret White greeted him with a smile. She was his adopted cousin of the family. Also, a stunningly beautiful lady in her early 20s. She had a tall physique and silky black hair.
"Morning Margaret! " Bobby smiled and sat on a chair nearby. Then, he started spreading butter on top of the two pancakes on his plates and poured syrup all over the stacks.
Bobby started eating the pancakes.
"Did uncle and aunt already leave for work?" He asked with his mouth full.
"Um, mom and dad left an hour ago." She replied and watched him eating the pancakes.
Bobby stood up and said, " I am leaving, too."
"Hey, Bobby, eat one more. You are becoming thinner." She passed a pancake on his plate.
"No, I am full now," said Bobby. Then he looked at his watch.
"Ah! It's late again. Margaret, see you!"
Then he rushed out of the house.

Oraga'aon Institute of Space Science and Technology. It was previously known as MIT.
Bobby was currently giving a presentation inside a hall. Hundreds of VIPs are gathered inside the hall. Most of them were renowned scientists, politicians, and successful business people.
A small ball was projecting a 3D image of a black hole. Bobby continued giving his lectures.
"Guys, my conclusion on my thesis is that we can finally explore the black hole, which is still a mystery to us by harnessing the power of the 'Dark energy'. Thank you, everyone." Bobby concluded his speech and came down from the stage.
Clap! Clap! Clap!…
The crowd applauded him.
After the seminar, Bobby walked toward the college canteen. He passed by the college's playground.
Thud!
A football hit him on his back, making him fall flat on the ground.
"Hey, dork! Bring the ball here." A bulky man among the three of them shouted at him.
"Hua hahaha. Sammy, go easy on him. " One of them said and looked at Bobby like a hunter looking at his prey.
Bobby quickly stood up and brought the ball to them. He looked at them timidly and tried to run away.
"You think you can run away from us? Hahaha. Wind punch!" Sammy said and punched in the air.
A strong wind in the shape of a fist appeared in the air and hit Bobby's back.
"Ouch! Aaah!" Bobby screamed with pain and rolled on the ground.
The three bullies walked toward him slowly.
Sammy put one of his legs on Bobby's face and glared at him.
"Boy, I have already warned you to stay away from Diana. Hmm! A dork who doesn't even have a single trace of origin chi in his body trying to woo my girl. Hmph, Defect! Know your place." Sammy said and kicked him in the face three times.
"Aahh! Aaahh!" Bobby screamed, turned his body, and covered his head with his hands.
"Sammy, that is enough! Hee hee hahaha, if he dies, then we will all be in trouble. You have already taught him an excellent lesson today. Let's go. " Tim, one of the bullies said, stopping Sammy.
"Listen, boy! Next time I see you with her, I will kill you." Sammy threatened him and turned around to leave.
"Wait! I forget something." Tim blurted. He searched and took out Bobby's purse from his pocket. Then, he took out all the cash inside the purse, threw it back to him, and said with a grin, "Hey, dork! Listen to Sammy. He is not kidding this time. Oh, and thanks for the cash. Hahaha! Let's go."
Then, the three left the playground quickly.
"What did I do wrong? She is the one who always keeps coming to me. Those assholes! " Bobby shouted and punched on the ground. "If only I have a trace of Origin Chi, no one will dare to look down on me. "
After two years of assimilation of Ogarian into human society, scientists of both human and Ogarian researched and finally had a breakthrough regarding the human genes. After that, they made a serum called 'Titan's might' and vaccinated all the humans on the earth. Then, everyone started to develop superhuman powers. They were called the first generation. Their offspring had also developed special energy inside their bodies. They called it the 'Origin Chi'.
But 10% of the next generation were born without this energy. They called them the Defects. Under the new social system, the Defects were scorned and had little social standing.
Suddenly, a beautiful lady ran into the playground and picked him up. She wore a white shirt and jeans.
"Bobby, what happened? Who did this to you?" She asked worriedly.
Bobby looked at her and remained silent. Then, he flicked her hands away and said, "Diana, you stay away from me. I don't need your damn pity."
Then he slowly walked toward the canteen.
"Hey, wait! I am here to tell you about something else. The director told me that you are needed to quickly report to his room right now." Diana shouted from far behind.
"What does he want with me? I really hate this place." Bobby murmured. Then, he changed his direction and rushed toward the Director's office.
