Ten years later.

In an exquisite establishment filled with various kind of technology, a tall and handsome man sat at a table working out something on his computer.

His eyes was a deep red and he chewed on a stick as he kept his eyes glued to the screen.

"Xander, none of what we're trying is working. Could it be that were that far away from 100% immersion technology?" Another man barged in with his glasses and deep brown hair which was braided.

"I don't know what to say, Harry. We just have to keep trying. Our game is actually doing well by itself, the stocks have gone up, and the company is flourishing better than ever," Xander said and Harry sighed to himself.

After that day work, Xander went out and got into a luxurious car along with Harry.

"Do you want to head home straight or...?" Xander asked and Harry smiled bitterly at his friend.

"I promised Hannah I'll be at her concert. Sandra is there too right? We could go pick them up," Harry said and Xander drove out of the company's turf.

The world has been fixed since ten years and nothing out of the ordinary has happened so far. And it should stay like this...

They got to a huge stadium with their car and the people there couldn't help but turn their heads at the sound of the roaring engine.

Two handsome men stood out of the car and a lot of people began to take pictures.

"Oh my God it's the CEOs of highrise."

"Damn it's really them."

"They look so much younger than they are described."

"I love Harry!!"

The people couldn't stop looking at them and the guards at the entrance to the concert saw them and immediately let them pass.

In the large stadium, the people cheered loudly as Hannah sang on the stage. The dancers behind her weren't slacking at all as they moved to the rhythm of the song and Harry just looked at her with a smile.

"Yes buddy, yes you have an amazing wife," Xander said as he put a hand on Harry's shoulder and he felt proud.

If it was back at high school, Harry would have no chance with such a beautiful girl. But then, he and her actually worked out after a certain apocalypse period. Also, he had a major glow up.

Xander looked around whether he was going to see Sandra and he didn't. Two soft hands suddenly covered his eyes and pulled him back and he smiled.

"Babe, you don't need to do that every time." Xander removed her hands and he saw Sandra behind him.

They all walked to a higher ground for VIPs and Sandra hugged Xander while passionately kissing him and rubbing his body.

"Dont tell me you guys are going to have sex here..." Harry stared at them with a nonchalant face and Sandra turned to look at him.

"And so what? We're only newly married." She said to him and then he turned around to watch the concert.

After the concert Harry waited for Hannah in the car along with Sandra and the security workers there made way for her and she entered.

"Phew." Hannah smiled at all of them.

"That was a great show honey," Harry said, he was also at the back seat while Sandra stayed in the front with Xander.

"Yeee!! I'm so happy you came!" Hannah hugged Harry and he moved his hands downwards towards her butt which was within a black leggings and squeezed it gently.

"Oh, come on. Patience, let's get home first." She said and Xander looked to Sandra and saw her looking at him with expectant eyes and he smiled.

'Hehe... naughty girls have to be punished.' Xander thought as he drove home in excitement.

...

A few years later, they both had kids and now both he and Harry were over 40 years old.

Xander looked at Sandra who looked more like a milf now that she has given birth a couple of times and he walked towards her and kissed her as she breast fed a baby.

"Hm? You've been giving me a lot of kisses recently." She smiled at him.

"Well, I'm only showing my love for you. She's beautiful, isn't she?" Xander said as he looked at the baby and then all of a sudden, the earth shook and Xander looked out of the window to see a... collosal titanic monster which was even bigger than his Manticore.

"What the fuck is that?" He said and then he gave the baby over to Sandra and he went to pick up his phone and he called his father.

"Dad! Are you seeing what's on the news?" Xander said and the men on the other end chuckled.

"I'm already on top of the creature," his dad said and the ground shook as the monster fell down to the ground and caused the earth to shake.

The city was in chaos as everybody began to wonder what that monster was. The government especially.

"What was that monster?" Sandra said fearfully.

This new incident happened close to his house and kids so he was quite worried too.

"I have to talk to my father about this," He said and then he went downstairs and took a car to go see his dad.

"Dad, why did I get the same feeling of Alexander when I saw that monster?" Xander said as he got down from his car and Alexander raised a white stone in his hand and all the damage caused was repaired within seconds and the people that saw completely forgot about it.

"It seems like there would be no rest for us apostles. I'll have to gather them again. It seems like we have a new threat involved." Alexander said with a frown and Xander shook his head.

Life was perfect already. Why? Just why?

Little did he know, someone had tampered with a certain monolith.
