Thank you for reading this novel. Feel free to check out my other novel on this platform.
Science Illustrated, 2021 edition. Dr. Drake Cole is a true genius according to the science magazine. He's working on the development of the portable time machine. Although some humans can already travel in time, the time machine is too expensive for normal people. His mission is to make everybody have their time travel gadget that won't cost them too much. That way, anyone can travel through time without difficulties. It should be affordable and effortless which will make him the best time travel scientist of all time! Celine folded the science magazine and put it back on the rack. She has a collection of these to keep on track with what's going on. It's been a year since the quarantine happened because of the pandemic. But until now, some areas and countries are still suffering from the spread of the virus that changes th
"Hi, Dr. Cole! I'm Celine. You asked me to meet you today." She introduced herself politely."Get inside the lab! We can talk there." Dr. Cole instructed in a cold tone.Celine felt the chills coming up through her spine. Dr. Genius is a hunk! A cold one for that matter. She can't take her eyes away from his beautiful face. His chiseled chin makes him masculine and his eyes make him adorable. Even the crest of his nose suits him very well."You never had any lab experience. How can you call yourself a scientist?" Dr. Cole's voice echoed from the walls of the laboratory."I have a major in Biology and Psychology. My experience is from the college lab. I graduated top of my class." She boasted a little bit.
Derek Simmons 1990~2021"I hate to leave you all behind, but we'll meet again one day."Derek's gravestone made Celine cry even more. It's so sudden and she never thought that it could happen to one of them. Due to the pandemic, they weren't even able to hug each other. But now that he's gone forever, all she can think of is how to make up for their lost times together.The funeral is very simple and only close family and friends are allowed because of social distancing. Since he died because of an incident, the government officials allowed him to have the traditional funeral. Most people who died because of the virus were cremated.If only Derek's parents allowed him to be frozen. When the cryogenic technology is already available, he can be resusc
Dr. Cole's laboratory looks different from what Celine can remember. It wasn't this big a month before she visited for her interview. But she can't deny that it looks more like a scientist's lab now. She almost forgot that she's still mourning Derek's untimely demise."Don't look so surprised! We're in the future now, which is the year 2030." Dr. Cole reminded her."Right, I can't believe that your time machine really works, Dr. Cole," Celine replied."Please just call me Drake. I hate formalities between me and my assistant." He suggested.Celine looks at the scientist to see if he seriously means it. Even though they are now in the future, he is still the same cold Dr. Genius. He even dragged her to his lab
After being disappointed about the future, Celine's eyes widened as she entered one of the one-floor buildings. Chad brought her to the mall and explained to her that the buildings now are inverted. The reason behind it is the rise of flying cars and giant mushrooms.Now that they are taking the tube elevator to go down to the restaurant area, she can't believe that she's seeing the futuristic look of this building. It's underground and you can see a preview of every floor. They were able to take off their gas masks since it's already safe.She realized that they are wearing some dorky gas masks compared to other people around. It's embarrassing but she just comforts herself about the fact that no one will recognize her anyway. She was stuck from home for a long time trying to be a good academic writer.
"Celine, our avatars are here!" Chad announced in an excited tone.Celine is also excited so she immediately goes where Chad is. She saw the three large metal boxes and now she's standing in front of them. Chad opened the first one with his name on it and there's his avatar. He turned it on and greeted them like a real person."Good morning beautiful people!" The avatar said while the real Chad is smiling widely."Good morning, Chad 2! Please go to your charging dock. You need to get fully charged!" Chad instructed.The avatar walks towards the charging station and lays down on the charging dock. It closes its eyes as if it's sleeping. Celine was impressed with how the A.I. looks so real in the future. A
It's Celine's fifth day in the year 2030 but the testing is about to start. Drake is a real genius. He was able to build the time travel gadget from the year 2021. All they have to do is to apply the technology in the future and it should be ready for testing.Since they are already in the future, it doesn't take long before the technology is already applied to the device. It looks like a smartphone with the ability to make calls and time travel. Dr. Cole made the device that way in case of any unforeseen events during the time travel.Celine is still trying to settle this year but now, they have to go back to the present time. But of course, they are still going back to the future to start the mass creation of the device. Currently, they only have two since it's only for testing purposes. That means Chad has to stay in the lab to mo
"We're now ready to travel to the past!" Drake announced as if she's not the only employee around."When are we leaving the present, doc?" Celine asked.They arrived in the present time three days ago. Dr. Cole needs to wait for Chad's confirmation from another time. They were able to open a wormhole that will bring them to the past. Although they have to experiment with different things. They have sent an old cellphone to the year 2000."Why are we going to the year 2000?" Celine asked."That's the year I started building my first time machine," Drake replied."Wait, how old are you?" She asked because she's confused about his history.
For the nth time, Drake has to say goodbye to her dear wife. Although it was her past, she suddenly vanished out of thin air. She died the original way she did the first time. But the only difference is, the reason is different. She gives her life to save their son, Cedrick. He's supposed to be the one doing that. As the head of their family, he should have run for their son and protected him. If he was only able to react that quickly like Celine, she would still be alive right now. He brought Cedrick back to the lab which is also their home. Celine vanished the moment that the people were no longer around. That saved them from having to explain what just happened. She was only a memory but she's also real at the same time. She was even able to
"Cedrick, how did you do that?" She asks in a worried tone."I bend time so that it will look like I just disappear and appear here," Cedrick explains it like it was nothing."It looks like there is another genius in this family!" Drake commented."Great! Now, I'm the nongenius member again." She joked around."I disagree! Are you even aware that the agents tried to take you from the timeless lab? You escaped them by just following your instinct. That's a true genius for me!" Drake informed her.Celine smiled sweetly at Drake. She can't believe that their family is complete again. Although his past is no longer in t
Drake successfully got rid of Dr. Derek Simmons. They have been a nemesis for such a long time. It's all because he can't accept the fact that Celine is already his wife. Killing him was a bad idea so he just vanished Derek to the next century.By this time, he should already be stuck on that timeline. Now, Drake can go back to the year 2000. It's about time to be with his wife and child. Maybe it's best to just stay there and live like the rest of the people during that time.How can he miss that year? It's the safest place for them to stay. Although his past is still around, he can no longer be with them after a year has passed. Drake's past will be left behind in the year 2000. But he has already accepted his fate.It's now his chance to trav
Derek can't believe that Celine is not in her apartment at present. She might just write that message to confuse them. Maybe she was able to find out that they are coming for her. It's another epic fail on his end. The general will be very disappointed for sure.His son wants to have revenge but he's always just asking the agents to do his bidding. It's time for him to get out in the field or not. If David does that, he might find out what he's planning to do. He doesn't care about revenge but he wants to get Celine back."Sir, we can't find anyone from the vicinity either. It looks like we've been tricked!" One of the agents reported."Let's get back to the base! Maybe they can find one of them from the records." Derek ordered the two agents.
"Cedrick Cole will be the name of our child!" Drake's past exclaimed.Celine is about to be discharged from the hospital. That's why the doctor already asks them about the details about the child. He's born in the year 2000 even though he was conceived in the year 2031. But nobody knows about that since except for her."That's a good choice! I will file it right away and send you the documents. Since everything seems to be normal, you and your baby can go home now!" The doctor told Celine."Thanks, doctor!" She replied with a smile.Drake is holding Cedrick in his arms right now. Celine can't believe that he would still be around. That means that she and their baby can also
When Drake finally arrives in the timeless lab, Celine is nowhere to be found. It seems like she just packed up her things and left. How can she do that without even leaving a message to him? But it seems like some people step foot in this lab.He immediately goes to the control room where he can check the footage. Time is frozen on this place but he was able to create a security camera for this place. He stayed reviewing the footage to see what might have happened. Celine left a message for him before she left!Drake's upcoming question was answered when he saw Derek and two other agents. They are the ones who came here and took Celine's message. Whatever it is, that might contain her whereabouts. He needs to find her first before the agents.He immediatel
Celine can't help but feel restless because of where she currently is. She didn't even know if it's day or night. Being in a place when time stands still is boring. She needs to start a new hobby. But the problem is, she can't even go anywhere to get what she needs.The replica of Drake's lab seems to be fine at first. But not knowing about what time makes her feel stressed. It feels like she is about to lose her mind already. She can't even communicate with Drake. Her baby bump seems to continue to grow.What if she just gave birth all of a sudden? She's all alone and she can't even call for help. Maybe she can just get out of this place even if she ends up giving birth immediately. At least in the real world, she can ask for help. She has to get out of this place and go back to her home.
Drake realized that he is the gunman who shot Derek Simons. But before he can do it, the future Derek shows up. He was able to save himself from the shootout. Everyone doesn't have a clue that it happened. He was able to pull his past from the present time.Derek suddenly disappeared because he pulled himself out of that timeline. That means that his present self had vanished because they see each other. Drake can't believe that this is what happened. He immediately escapes from the scene to make sure that he won't be seen.No matter how he tries to change his past, it seems that he can't do it. But Derek was able to do it and he must find a way to do the same. He uses his device to go to when he left Celine. But he has to be careful or he might end up having the same fate according to the future.
Celine can't believe how mature Cedrick acted in front of his dad. She was right about him all along. Her son will be the future leader of the new world. That's why he thinks and reacts differently compared with other kids his age. She will be very proud when that day comes.But he is still a kid who needs his father. He may appear as if he was not bothered by meeting his father all of a sudden. She knows that something has changed for him. Cedrick no longer feels insecure ever since he met his dad. At least now, he no longer feels empty.Although he's from the past, he's still Cedrick's father and he's happy to meet him. He takes care of her even if she should be the one doing that. Celine doesn't have to tell Drake that their son is also a genius like him. They understood each other right away.
