Semuanya putih — lalu gelap. Raka Adiputra ingat detik terakhirnya di dunia lama: laboratorium penelitian “NeoCore Energy” terbakar setelah percobaan reaktor bebas-plasma gagal. Ia berusaha menekan tombol pemutus daya, tapi arus balik meledakkan panel utama. Lalu… hening. Namun kini ia mendengar sesuatu yang aneh. Bukan suara mesin atau sirene darurat — melainkan teriakan pedagang, ringkikan kuda, dan langkah kaki di atas tanah berlumpur. Raka mengerang pelan. Kepalanya berdenyut. Ia membuka mata — dan dunia berubah total. Ia tidak berada di ruang lab. Ia terbaring di jalan tanah yang berdebu, di tengah pasar terbuka yang ramai. Bangunan di sekitarnya terbuat dari batu kasar dan kayu, beratap jerami. Orang-orang mengenakan pakaian seperti abad pertengahan, membawa keranjang, kendi tanah liat, dan pedang di pinggang. Udara terasa lebih murni, tapi dingin menusuk. Aroma tanah, asap kayu, dan roti panggang memenuhi udara. Namun yang paling mencolok — tidak ada satu pun kabel listrik, lampu, atau suara mesin. “Di mana… aku?” gumamnya serak. Tiba-tiba, suara digital bergema di kepalanya. [System initializing...] Host terdeteksi. Sinkronisasi kesadaran: 73%... 89%... 100%. Selamat datang, pengguna baru. Anda kini terhubung ke: Tech System v1.0. Raka membeku. “Sistem? Komputer AI?” Benar. Anda adalah Host yang terpilih. Akses penuh terhadap fungsi dasar diizinkan. Fungsi aktif: Scanner Material, Blueprint Dasar, Laboratorium Virtual. Ia menatap tangannya — bukan lagi tangan dewasa berjas lab, tapi tangan muda, kurus, penuh luka. Di saku bajunya yang compang-camping, ia menemukan potongan kertas lusuh bertuliskan nama: “Raka, murid magang pandai besi.” Ia menelan ludah. “Jadi aku... di tubuh orang lain?” Data konfirmasi: Ya. Tubuh ini milik entitas lokal bernama Raka — meninggal karena kelaparan tiga hari lalu. Kesadaran Anda menggantikannya. Tubuhnya gemetar. Campuran ngeri dan takjub menghantam dirinya sekaligus. Ia menatap kerumunan pasar, mencoba mengendalikan napas. “Baiklah. Kalau ini mimpi… maka aku akan hidup di dalamnya.” Sore menjelang ketika Raka berjalan menyusuri pasar, mencari tempat berteduh. Ia berhenti di dekat bengkel pandai besi tua — seorang pria berjenggot sedang menempa bilah pedang. Setiap ayunan palu menghasilkan percikan merah yang menari di udara. Raka tertegun. “Ini… energi panas murni. Bisa kupakai.” [Perintah diterima. Aktifkan Scanner Material.] Sebuah layar holografik biru muncul di depan matanya — hanya ia yang bisa melihatnya. Tulisan digital menari di udara: [Analisis Material: Besi mentah – kemurnian 42%. Cocok untuk peleburan dan eksperimen dasar.] [Suhu tungku: 1.124°C – cukup stabil untuk peleburan logam ringan.] Raka ternganga. “Jadi aku bisa membaca data dunia ini layaknya mesin sensor…?” Ia memandangi tumpukan logam, lalu melihat ke tungku. Bayangan ide muncul di pikirannya — kompor uap sederhana, turbin mini, energi kinetik… semuanya mungkin. [Blueprint Baru Ditemukan: Kompor Uap Mini – versi dasar.] Bahan yang dibutuhkan: logam mentah (3 unit), batu bara (2 unit), air (1 unit). Ia menelan ludah. “Bisa kulakukan.” Malam itu, setelah pandai besi tua menutup bengkelnya, Raka diam-diam menyelinap ke dalam. Ia mencuri beberapa potong besi dan segenggam batu bara. Tangannya gemetar — bukan karena takut ketahuan, tapi karena antusiasme. Ia membuat cetakan sederhana dari tanah liat dan mulai menempa. Butuh waktu berjam-jam. Suara palu bertalu di malam sunyi. Dan ketika fajar menyingsing, uap putih pertama muncul dari kompor buatannya. Desis uap itu adalah musik bagi telinganya. Raka menatap hasil karyanya dengan mata berkaca. “Aku berhasil… di dunia tanpa listrik.” [Selamat. Item Pertama Berhasil Dibuat.] Reward: Akses fungsi baru — Simulasi Energi Dasar. Dari layar holografik, muncul peta biru dunia kecil yang menunjukkan arus panas dan tekanan uap di alatnya. Ia bisa melihat bagaimana energi bergerak — dan mengendalikannya. Namun sebelum ia sempat bersorak, sesuatu di luar bengkel bergerak. Bayangan seseorang berdiri di balik jendela, menatap sinar biru yang keluar dari alat itu. Sosok berjubah hitam itu berbisik pelan, dengan suara seperti angin: “Cahaya tanpa mantra… bukan sihir. Itu kutukan dari dunia lain.” Raka tak mendengarnya. Ia sibuk memandangi cahaya kecil yang berdenyut di depan matanya — simbol harapan baru di dunia gelap ini. Ia tidak tahu bahwa mulai malam itu, takdir Arkanis akan berubah selamanya.ANONYMOUS POV The room reeked of stale cigar smoke and cheap whiskey, a scent so thick it seemed to cling to the air. My preference and I love the way the room is dark, with little light not daring to penetrate the drawn, heavy velvet curtains. It wasn’t just a comfort room but a lair. “Senator Jones, glad I caught you,” my voice crackled through the phone, a hint of a smile in my tone. “Just a quick, shall we say, ‘friendly’ check-in regarding our mutual… understanding.” I heard Senator Jones sigh, a sound that conveyed a deep exhaustion. “And to what do I owe the pleasure of this unscheduled discussion?” “Oh, you know, just making sure all loose ends are tied up” I chirped. “That little incident with Stanley’s mother. Nasty operation. Especially with Chloe involved.” “Chloe acted under constraints,” Senator Jones interjected, a defensive edge to his voice. “She was threatened, you know that.” “Of course, of course,” my voice soothed, though it had no real empathy. “And we wou
STANLEY’S POV The scent of the expensive leather of my Rolls-Royce and the distant thrum of the engine was usually a balm and a familiar comfort that signified my daily retreat from the different chaos of the world to the sanctuary of my family mansion. Well, not today. Each turn of the wheel, and the realization that we were almost home, only amplified the frantic drumming of my heart. “Poisoned” The word kept echoing in my mind, sharp and cold Ma. The wedding. My wedding was supposed to be a happy one for me but it was twisted into a gruesome stage for my mother's murder. And Chloe. My sister, my only remaining blood relative. She was with mother all night, tending to her. A cherished daughter and a loyal sister. Or a cold-blooded killer? This accusation felt like sacrilege and a betrayal of the bond we’ve had with our mother. But the autopsy, undeniable and indisputable facts screamed a different truth. The driver pulled up to the grand entrance of the mansion, the securit
STANLEY’S POV It had been a long time since I returned to work. The familiar sterile scent of disinfectant lingered in the air, barely masking the faint aroma of old paper in my office.As I looked through some paperwork, my secretary entered after a gentle knock on the door accompanied by Officer Collins.That was unexpected. We hadn’t scheduled a meeting, and there was no prior notice.I gave my secretary a subtle nod, and she quietly exited, closing the door behind her. I gestured for Officer Collins to take a seat.Sunlight filtered weakly through the grimy window, casting long, uneven shadows across the floor. I had an eerie feeling that I knew why he was here. My eyes fixed to the framed photo of my late mother on the desk. I stared at it for a moment, then looked up with dread in my eyes.“Mr. Stanley,” Officer Collins began, his voice unusually gentle, lacking the usual formal edge of law enforcement. He carried a Manila folder, thick and ominous, clutched in his hand. “We
JESSICA’S POV “Stanley, you are back,” I said, my voice tight, the moment he walked through the door without a greeting. The scent of stale police station coffee still clung to him, a bitter shroud. His usual confident stride replaced by a weary shuffle, his face was etched with exhaustion. “Yeah, I’m back” he mumbled sluggishly, dropping his phone onto the small table by the sofa. He didn’t look at me.“And?” I pressed, my arms instinctively crossing over my chest. “Tell me you didn’t just let her walk away, Stanley.” “First of all, how did you even know she was released?” he questioned, a hint of curiosity in his weary tone. “Someone there informed me” I defended, dismissing his question with a wave of my hand. “That’s not the main thing! How could you, Stanley, the woman responsible for the death of your beloved mother, be released like that, and you, her son, couldn't do anything?” I barked, my voice began to rise, cracking with anger. He shot up from the sofa, his voice no
