"We are here," an alluring voice coming from a woman. "Skely, gather your team. We're having one last briefing for the mission," she instructed to me.

"Roger, Lucie."

"Call me Sexy Demon when we're in a mission," she angrily shouted at me.

"S-sorry."

Of all things, why Sexy Demon? The enemy can easily determine you're a succubus, you know.

[Lucie] Actually, Skely, we're already connected via Victor's telepathy. I can hear you loud and clear.

"I-I never said anything."

[Victor] Sorry, Skely.

Engulfed by the void of silence, broken only by the songs of birds, we were surrounded by trees. It was a forest only a few kilometers away from Vladik. Not far from us, there stood a small wooden building, believed to be the lab of Dr. Albert. It was surrounded by barbwires with a number of guards stationed around it.

[Hiiro] We're raiding that house? But, it's too small for a lab.

[Lucie] Skely, don't let the appearance deceive you. Our spies have detected some sort of structure just below that building.

[Hiiro] An underground facility? How did the spies even find it?

[Lucie] There's no time to explain. Skely, do you remember everything you need to do?

[Hiiro] Yes.

Our plan was to use my magic to hack the security system of the lab and gather data from the inside. If my theory was correct, Dr. Albert should have a server storing information about Shadow Purgatory and the Human Kingdom. After that, my team would go inside to plant bombs all over the place. We would then detonate it after we escape.

"Execute Project: Zero." Compared from before, the lights produced was reduced to a significant amount to avoid drawing too much attention while transforming. The design of the suit was also altered, having a dash of silver on both of my hands and legs. "It still not finished yet, but I'll adjust the design later."

If you ask me where I got the inspiration from, it was taken from Black Iron Man. However, it was far from being completed. There's still a lot of things I want to add to the suit. After the transformation, a female voice spoke inside Zero.

"Welcome back, Master Hiiro." It was Emi, an AI I created to assist me while using the suit. Her name was taken from 'Emily' since I recorded her voice for this AI a day before we started this mission.

"Emi, scan the area for hidden cameras."

[Emi] Scanning... Master, I've found 50 CCTVs in the area.

"That's a lot of cameras. Looks like I don't have a choice."

"Emi, Deploy: Invisibility Cloak."

Slowly, the suit turned transparent, but it never showed what's inside. Zero, including me, completely disappeared.

In 2015, there was an article talking about a real-life invisibility cloak created by scientists. However, the product was not yet finished. For curiosity's sake, I researched that technology for a whole day since it was a weekend. Using the information I got from that and combining it with magic, I was able to create a device able to bend light using metamaterials, rendering myself invincible. In my eyes were a pair of beam splitting lenses that would allow me to see.
