Sparks flew up into the air as a man lit a cigarette, he tilted his head to the left and in the distance saw two figures, slowly making their way into an abandoned building. His eyes widened as he made his way towards the spot where the two individuals had been standing a moment ago, peering into the abandoned building and only to be greeted by darkness.
They had disappeared. He lit his lighter once again and entered the building, an awful source of light but it was more than enough to guide him.
A few minutes had passed and he had found no traces of the two and so, decided to take his leave. The screeching sound of an elevator alarmed the man and he quickly turned around and made his way towards it. A curious look was molded onto his face as he brought his finger closer and closer towards the buttons on the elevator.
However before he could do so, A large dark palm made its way towards the mans neck before knocking him unconscious. Jin shot a confused look towards his boss as he asked "How did this civilian get here?" His boss shrugged, pushing the button before the elevator finally came down to them. They quickly made their way inside the elevator before making their way to the next floor.
The awkward silence between the two was broken by the elevator music Jin asking, "What is gonna happen in this promotion game."
He looked at Jin sighing, "You know I can't tell you much but I will tell you what I can. So the first thing is that you will pick a nickname and this will decide if you make it to the next test. The next thing will be a survival test and is just basic surviving for 7 days. The last test is a tournament with the remaining members."
His boss was about to ask him something but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. They both walked out saying goodbye as Jin went to the participants zone and his boss went to the spectator zone.
Jin was surprised seeing what seemed to be 10,000 people. He walked around noticing all these unique people. Jin was about to continue walking but he was interrupted by a man with bird like wings instead of hands and legs of a bird also.
This man began to question Jin, "I don't mean to be rude or anything but I was wondering if the white hair is part of your power mutation." Jin quickly responded, "Yeah I used to have black hair but now it's permanently white can't remove it even with hair dye". The bird man seemed intrigued and asked, "So are your eyes also part of your mutations?".
Jin's mind was filled with confusion so he asked the bird man for a mirror. The bird man quickly got one for him and when he looked at himself he noticed that his left eye was purple and his right eye was aqua blue.
He was gonna start panicking but the announcement quickly got him back on track, "Alright people please today for the first challenge of becoming a villain is picking a good villain name. First go into a booth and take a picture then after everyone is done we will give you 20 minutes to come up with a good name."
He was confused for a bit since he was never told what this position was but he heard his boss talking about how every crime family has a group of villains to show off their might and take on jobs from rich people. He went to a booth and tried to look intimidating by showing off a cold stare.He then went out trying to think of a unique villain name but he couldn't think of anything.
Everything he thought of would surely be chosen by the others. Soon the announcer told them that the timer had started.
He thought for 19 minutes not getting anywhere close to something special and unique. The announcer then told them that their time was up and to go to a box and write on the paper your chosen villain name.
As he was walking he was freaking out on the inside until he heard someone say, "Dude just make it the thing that makes you unique." He thought for a second before walking in and writing a name.
A picture appeared on the screen that Jin recognized as the woman who held his brother hostage. It then showed a name next to it 'EQUALIZER' with a green check mark appearing soon after.
A couple of more names went by when they got a check mark they went into a door and when they got a red X they went back to the elevator. The names we're quite basic like Captain Iron or The Super or some random name like MemeMaster. Some people just put there name.
Eventually Jin's picture came up and next to it was the name Scarlet Silk. After what felt like eternity, a green check mark appeared. He quickly ran to the door, opening it and seeing what was behind it shocked him. An entire forest with artificial day cycle even with artificial air as he could feel the wind blowing his snow white hair.
He saw many people and knew that he would be waiting a while so he decided to look at his quest tab.

Jin was shocked at the new quest killing humans part but just pushed it aside when he heard a scream. When he looked up he saw a man impaled by a spear and the one holding the spear said, "Don't try and go in early we still have 87 participants to get through."

At the watchers room
Jin's boss watched as he chatted with what appeared to be an old friend, "So you know you could only choose one person , why did you choose him?". He thought for a minute and responded, "Jin just gives me a feeling that he will achieve greatness and also he is quite interesting which you can probably tell by using his hair for a name inspiration." They both laughed at this and continued watching Jin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the Supreme God's room
A chuckle resonated within the world as the old man was laughing at a video he put together at Jin's stupid actions. He was stopped by a booming Thunder and someone who looked the complete opposite of him, young, muscular and impulsive. The old man took a sip of his tea before calmly saying, "Good day to you Zeus, what do you want this fine morning." Zeus looked at him with anger and screamed, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ANNA''.
The Supreme God just smiled and continued in his calm manner, "I am simply using her as a hostage so you won't harm my dear friend Jin." Zeus looked pissed off throwing a bolt of lighting at The Supreme God screaming, "GIVE HER BACK YOU OLD PIECE OF SHIT".
The old man smiled, snapping his fingers making the lightning disappear and calmly explained, "First of all that shit won't work here in my domain and second I am not giving her back to you, you womanizing piece of shit.
Anyways please tell all your buddies to leave Jin alone or their loved ones are also gonna go away forever. Zeus looked pissed but knew he couldn't do anything so he disappeared in a flash of lightning.

Back at the arena
The sun was going down and the final competitors walked in through the door and the guard quickly yelled, "NO FIGHTING FOR 2 HOURS NOW GET READY 3...2..1.GO!" Jin quickly activated [Body Compression Low Rank F] running towards what appeared to be the darkest part of the forest.
He saw his mana and was surprised how unevenly he actually spread it so he tried to even it out more and felt his body get more stable as his speed started to increase. He quickly got there and darted up a tree waiting for some prey.
