Jake woke up to the squeaky sound of his hamster, the small demon, as he called it, was busy waving its tiny paws over Jake’s face while standing on his chest.Seeing his hamster try so hard to gain his attention made him laugh lightly.“Okay, calm down. I’ll get you something to eat. Daddy’s a little rich now,” Jake said with a smile on his face, he had never felt happier since transmigrating into this world.He swiftly opened his nearly run-down fridge, pulled out a carrot, and tossed it to his hamster. After that, he quickly tidied up, bathing and doing all the necessary things that needed to be done.Today, he would be properly briefed on how he was going to accomplish the mission assigned to him.Based on the arrangement, it was clear that he would now be working closely with the army, though he was originally supposed to work for them only after graduating, however he didn’t mind starting early.In fact, if not for the many things he wanted to learn about the history of this wor

After they reached the next location, the people there also made sure not to waste his time, as he was asked to stand on a certain machine, and several UV lights moved up and down around him, almost as if they were scanning his body.When he was done, he stepped down, and Zack tried to chat with him a little, telling him not to expect too much. Since the army was on a budget, they were only able to provide standard combat suits, and unlike rich scions, who could afford customized combat suits, Jake would only be receiving the basic version.Jake swiftly bowed and thanked him, showing his gratitude, saying he didn’t care much about whether it was basic or not. He was already satisfied that a combat suit was being given to him at all.So while they were waiting for the suit that matched him to be brought out, Zack tossed a dog tag and a black watch toward him.The moment Jake saw the watch, he immediately recognized it as the same one Old Man Alfred had given Zack the day before.“Tha

Implants were tools that could be used to boost the basic capabilities of a pilot.However, they started from the Rare rank, there were no Common or Uncommon implants, and because of the amount of beast carcasses and rare resources needed before one could even be created, their cost was so high that those barely trying to make a living could never afford even the lowest grade.However, Jake knew his limits.Though he didn’t know what kind of lifeform was attacking and why the whole base felt like it had turned into a hot zone, he wasn’t foolish enough to believe his current self would be able to make a big difference without upgrading a few things first.He believed he could still steal a few kills with his experience and current level, but he didn’t want to be just another average soldier, he wanted to stand out.And in order to stand out the way he wanted, he needed implants.With implants, he would be able to bypass the twenty-percent output limit of his talent, and if his strength

“Any improvement?” Zack asked as he turned toward Lionel, the other captain with an eyepatch.“Nah. James stayed back at the base, sending the SOS message to Region C, hoping their army would at least send one of their platoons—if they couldn’t send the ones responsible for this situation in the first place to come and resolve it. However, it seems we’ve been barking up the wrong tree,” Lionel said.“What did they say? Just tell me as it is,” Zack asked, grinding his teeth in anger.“They’re asking that we give them our weekly earnings from the mines, they also want Jake to hand over his B-Coin reward to a certain someone who has entered the academy,” Lionel said.“Well, that isn’t going to be possible, even if we can sacrifice our earnings, but making a less privileged kid sacrifice what he earned? That’s not something we’re known to do. I guess they don’t want to take responsibility and are just using this as an opportunity to wash their hands clean. Bastards,” Zack cursed.“What sh

With him bent like that, Jake was able to change the trajectory of his Jump Jets, as the boosters on his calves ignited along with the thrusters on his back, propelling him straight toward the Shadow Wolf’s in one swift motion as the energy from the activated ability created a loud bang when he shot off.The sound of ticking rang out as he blasted forward in a blur, seeing Jake make his move, the other two also moved to encircle the remaining Shadow Wolf on the side, with the soldier who had been giving Jake information about the city’s situation joining in as well.The Shadow Wolf that Jake had closed in on clearly wasn’t about to go down easily, especially after seeing how its companion had been taken out.When it saw Jake turn into a blur and rush toward it, it opened its mouth and swiftly condensed what looked like a small shadow-energy beam. Clearly, with the speed Jake was using to close the distance, it didn’t dare waste time gathering more energy.Bang!Just before Jake could
