The mutant system

Mutant system

What is this?

Ajax slowly began to regain consciousness as his eyelid lifted open.

"Ugh, what happened," Ajax said as he stood up from the ground and glanced around the room.

The last thing he could remember was defeating the metallic bot, and then he blacked out.

'Where did the doll go?' Ajax thought with a confused look as he noticed the doll was no longer in the room.

'How long was I asleep? And what the heck was that screen I saw earlier?' Immediately Ajax thought about it, the same window screen from the earlier pop-up

Ajax stared at the status screen in front of him with a look of confusion and disbelief.

' what the hell is this?' Ajax thought rubbing his chin while examining the screen from top to bottom.

' Is this the reward for defeating the doll? It looks like those games and system that the main character usually have in novels' That was Ajax's thought as his eyes moved around the screen.

'If it's like those novels then I should have skills and attributes, right?' Ajax thought and the current screen changed to a whole new one.

'So it truly is like those rpg novels' Ajax thought as a smile appeared on his face.

'Skills and abilities' Ajax was now getting how it works so he called out in his mind.

[ Abilities ]

Time freeze: Lvl 1

[ description: the user can freeze time of the area he's currently in, for a total of two seconds. - 10 soul points per use]

'Time freeze sounds cool, but the number of soul points required for use is too high, and just for two seconds? What the hell is a soul point, to begin with,' Ajax thought as he rubs his chin

'But why only one Ability? Maybe if I level up I'll unlock more Abilities. I think the universe just sent me a gift

Never have any human used a Mutant ability without the Skill coin and Skill slot.

The scientist who creates the equipment made it clear that the human body couldn't handle the raw Mutant power energy.

If one was to bestow the power on him or herself directly, it'll only lead to death.

And also, every Skill Slot shouldn't have more than one Slot. Meaning you get to use only one mutant ability of your choice.

While the Skill Slot and coin are further graded into 5 grades. Grade 1 is the lowest and 5 the highest.

If a person comes from an affluent family, then it's guaranteed the person will get a high-graded coin.

But the poor are left with scraps and ruins.

Ajax on the other hand just got something that doesn't need a skill slot or coin to use an ability. It's all programmed into the system.

Maybe that's why the Mutant never shared his ability with the public, he knew the wrong person might get his or her hands on it.

That's why he created the game and the worthy opponent shall come out victorious

Ajax stood there scrolling through the status screen until a new screen pop up again

'Ten pushups? ' Ajax's eyeballs nearly fell from his sockets

'I don't even know how to do two let alone 10' Ajax lamented.

'But at least there's a reward, exp. If truly this is like those online novels, then once I hit 100 exp I'll level up to level 2 and maybe unlock an ability or two' Ajax thought with amazement about his theory.

Kachum!

The entrance door of the room opened snapping Ajax out of his daydream, and a girl walked in.

She had sporting blonde hair that reached her waist and a nice body every guy would call 'hot'. Her name was Raya Blair

Ajax on the other hand forgot where he was or what day it was. He was too focused on the system that he forgot to check the time on his cube.

"Err..who are you?" Ajax asked as he scratches the back of his neck. Ajax has always been the shy type when it comes to talking to ladies or associating with people, he just likes staying on his own.

But people won't just let him 'stay on his own', they just push him around and bullies him.

"What do you mean?" Raya replied with a question.

"I come here every day" Raya added.

"Err..isn't it a little too late? It's past midnight you know" Ajax said with a nervous laugh.

Raya took her time to examine Ajax from head to toe, trying to figure out if he was high on jelly weed.

"What do you mean? It's one in the afternoon" said Raya with a baffled look.

"Huh?" Ajax quickly took out his small cube from his back pocket and checked the time and date.

'I was asleep for three days?' He thought with a surprised and worried look.

"I haven't been down here for some time because I had the stuff to take care of, I just decided to give it a shot today" Raya added noticing the strange boy in front of her was lost in thoughts.

'Darn it, I haven't carried out Draco's assignment let alone report back to him. Sh*t he's going to kill me' Ajax thought as he dashed out of the room with fear written all over his face.

"What a weirdo" Raya shook her head as he turned her head to face the doll and start the level.

But to her greatest surprise, the doll was no longer there.

'I thought no one can move the doll outside unless the level is completed, but there's nothing here' Raya thought as she searched the room.

'Does it mean that strange boy completed the level?' That was Raya's thought
