'Where am I?' Atlas asked


He roamed his eyes around the room and then he realized that he's in a research laboratory full of mathematical equations that he doesn't understand. It's like a room full of whiteboards, and all the whiteboards are full of solutions.


'What am I doing here?' Atlas was confused.


Atlas was dizzy just by looking at the solution that filled the room.


He turned his head and realized that he can't control his body, he panicked.


And to add more cause for his panic he saw by the reflection of the clear whiteboard that 'his' body is that of an old man wearing a lab coat.


'what the ...' before he can finish his thoughts, 'he' suddenly laughed out loud.


"I finally finished my research after 30 full years of isolation I finally manage to end this BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA" 'his' tears are rolling off 'his' eyes.


Atlas can't help but be shocked after he heard of the 30 years isolation, he took pity on the old man who spent his youth on just research.


'What kind of research does this old man did in order to waste that 30 years?'


And then everything flashed back in front of his eyes, the once old man he saw became a 30-year-old man full of vigor.


The room full of whiteboards became an ordinary house with home appliances, a comfy sofa, a radio, a vintage tv, chandelier, and many more.


'It seems like this old man is rich huh?' Atlas speculated


He couldn't help but be shocked after seeing that the once room full of whiteboard and research material was originally a warm house, a 'mansion' to be exact.


This time he can finally move his body.


The door of the house suddenly opened. The young 'old-man' entered the house. Atlas just stood there like a spectator.


The young 'old-man' suddenly outburst in rage, he threw the vase in the center table, smashed the chandelier, and everything became a mess.


The once beautifully designed living room became a junkyard in just a matter of seconds, with shattered porcelain, broken pieces of the chandelier, cushion seat overturned, and fallen-off-the-wall paintings are all on the same floor.


Everything in sight was in a state of calamity.


"YOU STOLE MY RESEARCH AND CLAIM IT TO BE YOURS!" the young 'old-man' suddenly shouted, it turns out that the young-old-man's research was stolen by his colleague.


"I WILL SHOW YOU ALL THAT FIRING ME WILL BE YOUR GREATEST MISTAKE!" fire of rage and desire for revenge can now be seen on the young-old man's eyes.
