Sorry for not updating that fast. I was focusing in this chapter and I have made an awful lot of loopholes here. I hope you could point out some of them. :)
If ever you are sharing the same name/age/birthday/address/etc. with my characters and the story, it is a coincidence! Do not ever kill me, nor sue me. I'm dying of hunger.
I still have no idea on what to put on the side nor the dedication corner, but please comment if you want to be dedicated. I'd like to thank the readers too! Please tell your friends to read this too!
On with the story!

Chapter Five: 29 Asphalt Road
Anthony woke up in his flat in Asphalt Road, Aeonius.
If you have been wondering about countries in Aeonius, you might need to consider Aeonius as a huge archipelagic country in a planet that shares its name with the planet. Aeonius is divided into two major parts, the waters, Okeanos, and the land, Synoikia. Synoikia divides the Okeanos, thus, forming the northern and the southern seas, the Minora and Majora, respectively. They still coined the waters a name since according to the pioneers, the oceans in Aeonius contain another realm – perhaps, a new dimension, but it was far too risky to venture.
Synoikia, from the Greek word, συνοικία, means district. Synoikia was divided into one-hundred nineteen city-states and polis and was named with ordinal numbers before the Science Era. The First Synoikia, or preferably written as Synoikia I, was the very first place in Aeonius that was inhabited by human being. Synoikia II was a close second. The Synoikias might have been uniformed in terms of names before; however, there is a special city-state for the royalties and never changed its name, Ixorapolis.
After the Science Era had passed, around 21 years before the death of Earth, the Synoikias were then named after the elements in the Periodic Table of Elements. Hence, Synoikia I was named Hydrogen and Helium for the second and so on.
Now, speaking about addresses, Anthony’s real and whole address was:
29 Asphalt Road, Ixorapolis, Aeonius, Andromeda Galaxy, Universe
…just exclude Andromeda Galaxy and Universe when you’re sending him a package, unless you’re from Earth.
Anthony was never a royal person. He doesn’t have that rich blood, but the privilege was given solely because of his talent. He’s smart and quirky; he could simply defeat a government official with a few words, then he would get what he wanted. It sounded bratty and spoiled, but reality has to hurt sometimes. That’s his ultimate liability aside from a daily limit of data absorption.
Back in 29 Asphalt Road, Anthony had a very painful headache running, but he still opted to find and check Jane and Sophia. He ought to make sure they were both fine and not behind bars, or in Aeonian terms, inside a floating capsule.
He lessened his worry over Jane, at least, he had legalised her existence long ago, but for Sophia…only God knows what happened to her. Anthony’s headache throbbed; he winced his eyes when a sudden jolt of pain visited him. Then, he unexpectedly felt his balance tip off as he went cursing colourfully afterward. Oh, the head is going to hurt more…
Contrary to Anthony’s belief of falling completely head-first on the floor, he was caught by the lithe, yet strong arms of Sophia. Jane assisted the human and brought Anthony to the couch, saying he was her problem, but Jane actually meant, you don’t have to stress yourself for my damned boss.
