  Chapter 3 "Tech virus"

  "Ars, why do you leave me. What is my fault? I miss you so much. Please go home." It seems the girl miss the boy. One month since ars goes to japan and no contact at all. Love problem always make the hero weakened. Especially when ars bring cursed sword. Whether ars know if she should stay away from allysha to protect her. You know every demonic movie always ended with the girl being caught and used as hostage, then movie ended with kissing scene, "oh you are my hero." That sick.

  Ars back to earth and portal disappeared. "Ah, finally, sun!" Ars feel very comfortable. he can breathe longer. But then confused. Where is he. He appeared on open earth. There is only one straight road and trees around. Then ars following the road while thinking about what happened. The sword on his back like a baby that want a food. Ars must planning long term plans. "Ok, lets think my first plan. I can use current magic to make virus that roams on air, hunting an human and fulfill this sword desire. But i can't kill humans randomly." Yes of course. Our hero are not antihero that can kill anyone. Some kilometers walking ars find a village. On road sign written velkommen, that's norwegian. So ars teleported to norway. Ars realized that "Hmm i can't speak norway. Lets try magic translator." Ars enter the village and approaching some people. Ars activate magic translate and try to speak on indonesian. How he activate it? Just press L2 and choose magic translator and press X. :-P i am just kidding, this is not a game. I am just want to tease you if you are gamer. That people looks a bit curious with ars appearance with black sword on his back. "Maaf, pak, saya mau bertanya, di mana saya bisa mencari kendaraan menuju ke kota terdekat." Nah, translate that! You will now hard for me to translate indonesian to english. That people replied nicely with norwegian which is turned into indonesian on ars hearing. "Terima kasih pak, semoga harimu menyenangkan." With that info ars going to nearby bus terminal. Ars entering one of bus. The driver and passenger shocked with ars classic knight style appearance. Ars approach the driver. He looks scared. "Sorry sir, i don't wan't to hurts you, i just want to go to nearby city. But i don't have any money.", "oh... that's... okay... you... can... sit... down... we will depart." All people on that bus are speechless.

  On the city ars find money with old methods. Pickpocketing firstly ars go to nearby boutique to find city style clothes. Next ars finding a place to hide this sword. This sword like have a soul. It know what ars said. "Stay here swordy, i preparing food for you." If you say that crazy then how about people that talking with his stuff? Ars starting his project. Designing virus. Ars still find out about target. He can't target everybody. Ars must find community that can be killed without affecting other problem. We can't kill richies. They will paid the government and then big problem. At first he want target criminal. Ars visit a jail. But he detect with soul vision. Criminal have such a weak soul. That's not enough. Ars still thinking is there forgotten community that all people do not care if they die. On his tour around city. He heard screaming. That's death metal. "Now i found my target." Ars finds his target. He can start working. Why metal? That become ars question. he goes to nearby internet cafe and start googling "why everyone hates metal?" Yes you can googling it. You will found some result. Read it. Done? Then we can continue. Ars have a big plan. He knows metal fans and singer are innocent. Have at least 1000 soul each person. Ars can't killing humans. He will make that humans killing him. And ars fight back as self defense. So police not arrest him. Sounds smart? Or sly? Ars working step by step. Collecting (or stealing) small money to buy a laptop. Then he check his previous works. His gmail got a tons of email from his fans. He love his game on android and console. Remember silent hill konami's heart? Ars got so many request from publisher. Ars think this is where he will got money. First step ars creating online account like payoneer. He replied to one of publisher that request him, montreal. Ars tell them if he already have project entitled "god of war dynasty" and will sent this project and paid via payoneer. Montreal accepted and ars starts working.

  Ars improve his magic ability to used on laptop. Ars modify the soul command and convert to new magic.

  Magic created: "auto coding" ars command a soul to recognize computer system and various os and make one programming language that can create apps compatible on all os. So ars just need to design, and auto coding do all boring process. No humans typing means no typos. This auto coding forms like an artificial intelligence.

  This magic AI are more smart than regular AI because its a soul that can thinking depends on their body. If animal this soul will stupid. But if attached to computer his brain are upgradeable. That'a make auto coding upgradeable once ars have super computer. Before, ars can make game in three weeks. With a nice help of auto coding. He can make one game each weeks. That so fast right? If you are game dev you will said "impossibru...!" Game has been sent and ars receive payment. With that money ars buy new domain, nightman.com. this will become ars base for online activity. Using auto coding ars make this website unblockable, unhackable, and can't be down. No single country can block this website. Everyone can access this website without proxy. On first page there is sign up, login, and enter as guest. And detail about the user ip and network location. This website language automatically translated to user language depends on location. Norway, arabic, greece, and even egyptian with help of magic translator. About that magic, ars still learn it to make magical apps like his first design, "tech virus"

  As i said an introvert never wasting time to do what he likes. Ars learn about how to create spell. Reading magic scroll, to create spell ars need to infuse a language with a soul. So that soul know how to read that spell and what to do when a spell is called. In this case programming language. Ars seems so busy with his job. He forget about allysha. While ars learning, on indonesia allysha become worse. Feel lost her lover make allysha have no contact with anyone. Only her father can talk with her. Her mother has been died since she was a baby. Maybe that the reason for her xenophobia?

  Ars is fast learner. He knew what to do. He combined ancient demonic alphabet and create new font called demonic family font. That contains underworld language. Ars use magic translator to translate a text to demon language then transcript it to new unicode. Demonic unicode. Ars declare this unicode to his soul. And now ars ready to create apps. His first apps, magic translate that more perfect than google translate. This apps and some game are uploaded to nightman.com and website is online. Ars introduce himself as ars the nightman. Well you must be asking why nightman? What story about this. Just be honest i really don't have an answers. Because i just design it and take out what inside my mind. Nightman.com splitted into sub website. Apps.nightman.com, games.nightman.com, forum.nightman.com, blog.nightman.com, and office.nightman.com. each part function same with his name. On a days nightman.com have million traffic. And its time to expanding magic. Ars starts working on tech virus and make a survey about metal genre. The results make ars decided. And roams his tech virus. This virus roams into different part. The goal is to delete metal genre from world. Tech v programmed to delete every sound file that contains metal song. Tech w programmed to delete every video file that contains metal song. Tech x designed to scan every non multimedia file that contains criteria, renamed metal song. tech y to attack online storage. And tech z to attack offline and portable storage. More, tech supreme to attack organic object of metal song like human voice. And tech nano to attack every metallic object like speaker or radio.

  Not too long. Ars got so many respond from angry humans. They find ars. Because ars declaring wars and show where to find him. Ars stay on outside city. On one way road. Ars build a house near street and open earth and make soul guards.

  Magic created: "armies of gauntlet" soul legion using two soul sword on two hands. Doing what ars command to them.

  Now ars take his sword and ready for hunting. Hundreds of angry person are coming and attack ars house without any compromise. Ars sword have its lunch. Ars use enhanced soul eater, draining all soul instantly. All of that people died in a second. A
few days later ars action become viral on news. As predicted before. No police arrest ars. Last police team visiting become desserts. Police ignored ars. Now ars want to improve his magic again and find a way to uncurse his weapon.

  Ars got so many soul. Enough to buy more magic. While ars resting. Allysha heard about ars nightman. She realized that's her ars and want to meet. Her father bring her to norway. Allysha coming to ars house. Ars very surprised with allysha presence. "Oh, shit, i forget about allysha!"
