"Mr Daniel, I'm Jeremiah. I'm glad you agreed to join us. We hope to achieve the impossible by working together," The man said with a smile, and an outstretched hand.
Daniel smiled as he returned the handshake, and said;
"We will definitely achieve the impossible, Mr Jeremiah."
It has been more two months since he met Mr Silva and he has been taken care by him since then.
At first he thought that the old man's talk about making him a god, the whole talk about superpowers and whatnot was a bluff, but something changed his mind.
For the first time in his life, he saw something truly extraordinary. He met a Phenomenal in the flesh and one who could control lightning to his will.
At first, he thought it was just a magic trick but those thoughts were cleared when he saw other Phenomenals and with diverse superpowers.
After that day, Daniel suddenly had a new ambition. He no longer wants the riches the world can offer, neither does he wants all the bitches he can get and sleep around with.
What he badly wants now is to also become a Phenomenal and he's going to do everything in his power to get it. This is even if he has to give himself up for an experiment.
Only the results that matter, the process can be damned!
Jeremiah nodded when he heard Daniel's response. His attitude is very much to his liking. It was an indication that the two of them would have a good time working together.
"Very good. I will show you the way so that we can get started." Jeremiah said, and started leading Daniel through the facility.

Silas knocked at the door and it was opened fee seconds later.
"Big brother!! Welcome!!"
Unlike before that Silas was always answer by Kim. This time, the person that opened the door for him was Alex.
"Hey Al, how are you?" Silas smiled, as he ruffled his hair lightly.
Silas walked into the house and he saw Kim seated in the sofa, with her head buried in her laptop.
She looks to be working even though it's a Sunday.
"Hello Kim. You look busy. Did your bring your work home?" Silas asked, as he took his seat on a sofa opposite her and Alex seated beside him.
"Yes, I had to. Your dad will be discharged from the rehab next week and I have to be there," Kim beamed a smile as she continued what she was doing.
Silas shook his head when he saw her reaction.
'She's so enamored.'
"Silas, you will also be there to meet your father as he leaves the rehab, right?" Kim asked, as she looked at Silas inquisitively.
She was trying to see if she would find out what he was thinking through his expressio, but she got nothing. His expression was just the same as it has always been.
"Yes, Kim. I will be there. I will be in my room," Silas said and stood up, and made his way to his room.
Kim sighed when she saw Silas' reaction to her question. She was happy that he was going to be there when Chris is going to be released from the rehab but she was scared that something was going to happen.
She couldn't help but sigh again when she remembered that she can't do anything about it, but hope things turns out well.
In his room, Silas lay on the bed and looked out the window. The past two months had seen do almost nothing but improve himself in different ways with different simulated realities and he always fought his clone in the Domain almost everyday, and the result each time was always a defeat.
It wasn't all that bad because Silas knew that he has improved a lot compared to before. The fights now lasts longer and in each fights, he always manages to land a solid hit on the clone.
Not only that. Silas has also started discovering what and what he can do with the current rank that his superpower is at, and it's current limit. There's still one problem though... Excluding his superpower, his physical stats alone made him too overpowered.
It's not like being overpowered is bad thing but it's very depressing when he can't find anyone to test his strength against in the real world. Each time he wants to fight, he always has to go into the Domain.
Silas sighed when he thought of how the gap between him and everyone is going to widens after he used the Evolution Capsule.
He decided to put the thoughts related to his overpowered physical strength aside and sleep.

The time flew and it was finally the day that Silas' dad would be leaving the rehab.
Everyone was at the table, eating their breakfast quietly, except for Kim who was all smiles.
They were still eating when they heard a knock coming from the door.
Silas and Kim looked at themselves curiously.
"Where you expecting anyone?" Kim inquired as her eyes darted to the door.
"No. You?" Silas asked and he saw Kim shook her head.
"Don't worry I will go answer it," Silas said and stood up from his seat, and went to answer the door.
As he walked towards the door, the image of who was at the door was displayed on the lenses of the Gear.
Silas paused when he saw the image. It was someone he didn't expect to see. He was actually surprised and he couldn't help but look at the dining area where Kim, and Alex were seated.
Kim saw Silas looking at them and she got curious.
"What is it, Silas?"
"Nothing." Silas replied and walked towards the door.
He opened the door and he saw a middle-aged man who looks very similar to him.
The man's face light up with a very bright smile when he saw Silas and a complicated expression was seen on his face.
"Hi son."
