Chapter One: The End
“How many times do I have to repeat it, proofread your works!” A swift kick and Jett was sent flying with a bunch of papers flying after him. “I am sorry Ms. Jane. I am sorry!” he repeated over and over again as he crawled on the floor picking up the files that were scattered across the ground. “Get out of my office and don't come back here until that work has been perfected!” Ms Jane tossed a folded piece of paper at him. Jett crawled out of the woman's office in haste and closed the door carefully behind him. Everyone in the office room was peeping at him from their cubicle. He clutched his files with his back bent and walked awkwardly to his own compartment. He was almost past the last cubicle to his own when he collided with someone else’s leg and landed on the floor, papers flying around. The entire office bursted into laughter. “Jett the man.” Someone quipped from a corner. “The most experienced floor man!” Another added and laughter continued to rain down on him lik
Chapter Two: A New Beginning
Jett stood up to realize he was surrounded by a swirling canvas of colors reflecting into one another and spiraling in an impossible four dimensional movement.“Where am I?” he blurted. The last thing he remembered was feeling a whole lot of rage and then he was shot. He jumped back when he remembered the pain of the bullet piercing his head. He touched his forehead but he didn't feel any wound or scar. “What? Was I dreaming or am I dead?” he blurted. Nothing responded but colors that kept dancing around him. Then he remembered another detail. He remembered the screen that appeared in front of him. “The Sovereign System,” he muttered.Just as he did, the colors around the room turned white and translucent like a mirror of sorts. [Welcome to Limbo!] Words appeared on the screen right in front of him.“Limbo?” Jett muttered. “I, I don't… I don't understand why am I here?” he asked. Limbo was the realm between the land of the dead and the living, it was a common story among townsfolk
Chapter Three: I Killed the Former Me
Jett frowned his face, confused on who to pick between the two. First of all he had no idea what an attendant was. His guess was that the person might come back to life, so how could he choose without the necessary information.He decided to ask the system. “Explain what an attendant is, if I were to choose the spider mech, what would happen?” Instead of the fairy voice, a screen flashed in his face.[Spider Mech: A real spider that was brought back to life by Eobard Helinski using mechanical parts. Its predatory nature took over its instinct and it lost control, killing its own creator.][Spider Mech Attributes: Iron body physiology, Stealth, Toxic Appendages, Spider Physiology.]After reading, the screen swiped by and another screen popped up. [Deviant: A former human named Integra Rake who was a victim of experimentation. His gene mutated and he became a mix between man and beast. He was discarded as an error and was left to die. Rake survived due to his intelligence but his new
Chapter Four: Trash Devours the Prince
Jane led Jett to her office and when they got there, she shut the door silently behind them. “Your files said you were sent beyond the walls,” she said in an arrogant tone. “It is surprising you had enough to bribe the gate guardians. Well. It isn't unheard of,” she said.Jett was growing tired of the rants. “Is there a reason you called me here?” he demanded.“Are you talking back to me?” Jane replied with a stern tone. “I have lots of work to do. If there isn't any reason for me to be here, please don't delay me. I don't have time for small talks.” Jane was taken aback by Jett’s brazen nature. “Are you delirious?” she began, standing up from her chair. Jett sighed. “Alright, let me explain things to you. In the way you might understand, cause you are apparently dumber than you appear.” Jett began. “I work for the company and you are my supervisor. It doesn't give you the right to lord over me. Maybe there was a time I allowed it, but that time is gone. If you overstep your boun
Chapter Five: An Untrustworthy Ally
Jett spent the next three days laying low and solving daily missions from his system, gathering item rewards. He’d already set his plan to take over the C&G company in motion.Although he was missing a rather vital point to all this, he felt like the system would never give him an impossible task. He was currently at his computer in the office rummaging through the pile of works. “For the love of the heavens,” he muttered as he finished the second to the last pile. Most of his works were creative writing and having to write out poems, ads and actual stories was way more strenuous.He wondered why they were giving him so much work, he didn't have the mind of an analyst, so why were they piling so much of this work to him. “Come to think of it,” he muttered under his breath. “When I came back, I actually heard whispers of the company’s sales dwindling by a bit.”He stood up from his desk and picked up all his files from the system. He headed to Jane’s office and dropped them on her tab
Chapter Six: Security Breach
It took Eider two days to get the necessary legal documents and the set date. The laws of the stronghold were rather simple. “Evidence does not dispute power!”“Today, we have Jettai Ghalkhan versus the C&G group!” the registrar yelled.A soft chuckle echoed among the audience. “I will hear the accuser's case,” the judge said.Eider stepped forward, she was Jett’s legal representative. “Evidence has shown that my client has been robbed off a great fortune as his works were being directly sent to District two in the auction market. Yet my client was never promoted, treated like vermin and was even conspired against.” The Manager chuckled on his seat. Jett scanned them all, they didn't think this was a serious case, he was sure they hadn't even prepared. How can a fly like him hurt an entire company? The only person who was silent was the chairman of the board himself. Hansel's father. Elijah HalwartThe judge frowned at Eider. “And what power does your client hold to make such a bol
Chapter Seven: Kill Counter
Chaos descended on the streets of the district as massive ballistic missiles started to explode randomly across various locations.Jett watched the Man of Iron land into the district. He locked his gaze on the metal tank. His eyesight had improved since he bonded with the system so he could see everything intricately . He saw multiple nodes pop off from the gargantuan metal box that’d landed in the middle of the street. The entire area was a mix of residential and office areas. The nodes popped off and a metal hatch popped open and then there was a silence. It was like everyone was awaiting the horror that awaits. Smoke filled the front of the hatch, swirling from an imperceptible darkness. After a few heartbeats a single red glow permeated through the darkness from within and then it doubled. Before Jett could blink, multiple red glows began to match out of the box, when they came into light. They were humanoid metal carapaces appearing like skeletons and carrying huge metal weapo
Chapter Eight: Attack of Iron
A torrent of explosions rocked the entire area as everyone sought to find cover. Jett felt the beam of light pass through his right shoulder as he tumbled to the ground. He crashed to the ground and felt his life flash before his eyes as he felt multiple beams coming for him, however, nothing touched him. He glanced up to see Scorn shielding him from the bullets. “*Your Attendant is taking excessive damage, dismiss it or it will be permanently destroyed.*” Jett yelled as he rolled away from that direction launching himself with all the power of the Gem or Armament while simultaneously dismissing Scorn. He crashed into an open room smashing against the nearby wall. The wound on his shoulders was burning, but the beam of light had cauterized it so he wasn't bleeding. He placed his hand against it breathing heavily. He heard laboured breaths beside him so he turned he saw Eider against a wooden table, holding her stomach while grunting in pain. Her eyes were shut and she was beginn
Chapter Nine: The Boy and The Heron
Jett lifted Eider on his shoulder as the A ranker led them out of the building. Everything was in ruins and corpses filled the entire area. The district had been hit by a calamity and everywhere they walked, wails of sadness was the resounding theme. Eider Mane shuddered on Jett's shoulders, she seemed to have awoken but she wasn't really strong enough to walk on her own so Jett didn't bother putting her down. Several Talented were going helter skelter and trying to mitigate the aftermath of the attack. Most of the Men of Iron were dead now because of the intervention of the High rankers. Jett watched as they worked efficiently. The A-rankers were in another level entirely, far beyond even the strongest B-ranker. Only three of them had been sent and they'd managed to stop the entire invasion easily. “So the two of you managed to kill four of those things? “ The A-Ranker asked again. “Yes.” Jett replied simply. “Fascinating, go into that building and get treated, we will have a c
Chapter Ten: The Measure of A Man
“*The Tower is your Archetype and it is a testament to what you are now and the path you are taking. Your archetype can change based on what you become. The Tower is something.you will have to find meaning to yourself. When you understand your archetype, you understand your own nature and power can come from understanding.*”Jett sighed in a relaxed tone. He realized that the system itself is not very big on divulging things to him and with the new attitude it has, it was best to just figure things out as he went.He closed his eyes once again and soon slept off, he felt tired from the depths of his very being. When he woke up he felt like he could leap over the tallest tower. Eider Mane had already left the hospital bed so he decided to leave too. He walked out of the hospital room as a nurse blocked his way.“Sir!” the woman said. “You need to come with me, I have been told to lead you to a certian room when you are awake.”Jett frowned. “Lead the way” He remembered that the nurse
