".....what the fuck?!" Ghost now Rex said stumped for words. After planning for years....maybe decades his plan to kill his arch nemesis went down the drain due to a casual gesture of kindness - cool

He accepts death with open arms dreaming of reuniting with his dead wife and kid, but at the last second he realizes Life is much more better than the cold chilling death and embraces life going into the Golden portal- cliche but it's alright

He is reincarnated into a futuristic world where humans have transcended its natural limit, broken the curse of illness and incurable diseases. Invented advanced devices and technology has taken a drastic leap forward: limb prosthetic now weapons of killing and slaughter. Reality have been greatly warped taking the forms of comic storylines and the world have entered the era of ultra hegemony

The rich ruled- with real power, while the poor were left to collect dirty. Humanitarian rules were the past and the rule of the jungle reigned supreme....of course with money -which was a bit nasty but acceptable

But now realizing not only has his soul crossed over taking over a new body as its host, but a strange system came with him- his brain couldn't comprehend it. That has exceeded the law of physics and logic, and taken a ting of uncertainty and.... probably magic

Like in the stories....mind going back to the fiction he had read in the past to kill time

[Welcome masters to the Chaos magic system, I am Ares your exclusive system assistant] a young cheerful voice rang out- excited

"...er....what in the white nonsense is this" Rex asked still in shock

[That is not very nice, anyway I am the system consciousness or by your world standard and AI that came with the supreme magic system....designed to help you to the top, shredding your past life misery and experience- while banging some bitches of course Chuckle] her ever cheerful voice rang in his head.

It was a foreign feeling he wasn't yet used to " so...what are your uses, and how are you going to help me"

Eye twitching pissed at the remark " why are my stats so low?" He grumbled in a low voice

[The current body of the master sustained heavy injuries and toxins. Although mostly cleared, a bit still lingers in the blood stream]

[I suggest you visit the system shop for a healing potion or preferably get a pack of nanomeds of this world to repair dead cells and flush out toxins]

"....can I see the system shop.." he gave up

[Affirmative]

[System Shop

Grade 0 grade healing potion - 200cred

Grade 2 purple butterfly beast meat - 1400cred

"... How much value does this cred hold compared to previous world data"

[From your past life memories and predecessor logs, I would say one cred is approximately 100 dollars]

Going through the list of items in the shop, Rex saw various magic beast that could only exist in a fantasy novel but somehow he could buy them

" Erm Ares shouldn't I have like a starter pack or something....." He still hasn't comes to understand how he got a golden finger considering, he has been a bad luck magnet all his life....maybe with crossing over his luck has improved.

Congratulations! You have been awarded the following

---------------------------]

The system appeared again in an AR format like it was in his retina but it's was his OAM- Optic augmentations module. It a screen like interface connected to his Neural interface network. It worked like a virtual phone but one only him could see.

Yes he could reveal but only with and only is permission no one else...

Minutes went by as Rex brooded over all what have went down today- from the death to the void then the golden portal and into a futuristic cyberpunkish world....sounded so go to be true, but here he was in flesh. He decided to leave this world to the fullest.

From his predecessors memories, he came to know, the name of the city he was in is called Neon abyss, a canyon shaped megacity sunk into the earth. It is controlled by the NAPD- The Neon Abyss Police department. A sub department of the Phoenix guard of the Phoenix empire. An empire as large as the whole land mass is Asia combined.

Terrifying bunch!

Rex was only sixteen his was an orphan like most dogs of Neon abyss, a mistake discarded at birth destined to scrap by the sewers and canon folders for militant group or even join a gang by any chance scrap enough credit to get himself a decent cybernetic implants for protection.

And maybe become a merc taking on mission for cred. Profitable? Yes but you could drop dead anytime. Only those who have nothing to lose or are desperate enough go for that profession

But, on one of the many days in the alleys of the lower depth, he and the goon he rolls with picked on the wrong man. He had been wearing a dark cape and walked right into their alley....looking like fresh meat on the chopping block but so have they been wrong. The stranger dropped them like flies with little to no movement. Held by the throat of the stranger, his thick metallic arm with claws like fingers that dug into his neck dangerous- Rex saw his life flash in front of his eyes

" Cough.....I...c..can....help..any... thing.ahh"

His last pleas for survival..stupid sitting the danger level of the enhanced individual, but it worked he was sparred and taken under his wing as an apprentice not after spitting whatever he knew about the city and it's occupants. It appeared the stranger name was Dante, and his was an ex mega corp solder- a corpo dog. He was framed by the corporation he served and he had escaped albet badly injured.

Over the years he layed low and taught Rex how to make and build cybernetic and implants with a little bionics training involved, he was like a son. Sadly Dante died last year the toxins in his system was one of a kind that didn't have a cure and ate through the inside of the victims.....slowly painfully

God knows which maniac mega corp invented such toxins, one could imagine such pain Dante was over the years. Although he used bionics , healing serums and pods to suppress and fight back, it still took his life.

A huge Cybernetic body resembling an arm laid on a low silver platform, close by other platforms held other rough Cybernetic components. It appeared that the parts came from a single object. Rex stood side, a glass tablet with metal around the edges in his hand, swiping through rough outlines of the part before him. Those parts came from Mad kong, he separated the implants usable by him while getting rid of fleshy body parts.

    The conversation flowed with Kong coughing under his helmet from time to time, injuries visibly. [Sir I suggest you take action soon the energy has surpassed level 3 and reaching peak level four enough to kill you even with just a slight shockwave Suggested auction: you can...] " It's fine Jax , I have a plan" he relayed his plan as he stepped forward " Kong you are going to die soon, let me do the honors" "Kekeke little kid you shouldn't have come here today, maybe stayed back to Mama's milk" "Maybe.....but I was a bit short on cash, and your bounty was enticing" With every step Rex moved further and further heart pounding in his chest, this was a dangerous situation but for the sake of everything, he had to risk it all.

    Few minutes back The warehouse was peaceful except for some rats scruing around some garbage in the corner. Mad kong sat on a concrete block, he was about 2.5 meters tall enough for his backward joint to be stretched out. It appeared to be like he was in a deep hazy dream as his yellow visors dimed head lowered- slow sounds breath released to show that he was still alive. Suddenly his visor lit up with blinding light as it whipped up meeting with a small circular cylinder falling from above. His danger sense bleared- that thing was destructive He quickly entered battle mode standing upright metallic parts shifting forming into a crest shaped shield he aimed to the sky meeting the object BOOOOOOOOOM! His form sank joint meeting the floor as the entire suit quaked violently shield hollowed in from the blast, lightning sparked over this form with purple glow aggravating his injuries dropping his battle prowess to almost zero.

He wore a gorillas head shaped helmet covering his head attached to his thick suit, a hollow hole on the topmost part of the helmet loomed dangerously.A thousand meters out, Rex crunched low his shadow coat activated turning him invisible only the circular visor of his helmet google left out, the red light blinking.
