Hardly able to breathe, William watched as the doctors put him to sleep for the permafreeze project. He was filled with fear as well hope, In the same way, the future can hold a cure for him, it also doesn't hold his loved one! Once he is there he will be all alone. The project could fail all along killing him, even so, this was a risk he decided to take, he was dying anyway so he might as well take the jump!

Slowly his emotions faded as he accepted death, "Doc...tor, will...this...finally be...the end?" William asked in a pained voice, it was more of weeping than talking.

The doctor's heart started to crumble, looking at the kid stat it was not a pleasurable scene! His lungs have failed so tubes are running down his airways, one of his eyes was done for, only a hole hidden behind bandages. The kid's lower body was paralyzed due to a failed spinal surgery. And a lot more that he could recall in that short moment.

"You're a strong man!" The doctor didn't call the 11 years old a kid anymore, he has suffered more than a kid should. "You might not find us when you wake up, but nonetheless live your life to the fullest! Don't underestimate humanity, we will find a cure given if we had to dig it from the core of the planet!"

William's consciousness slowly faded, his eye shut closed. The last thing he remembered was the crying face of his doctor.

[You have entered the System]

[Initiating a link to the network]

[Link has been formed, downloading data...Complete]

[Welcome to the system, William biner] William instantly heard a strange voice that shook him to wake. to him, it felt like no time has passed.

Slowly opening his eyes in this strange place, it seemed more of a futuristic garage than a hospital, the room was all blue, the walls are made of still, multiple weird pieces of equipment are stacked around him, they were not like anything he has ever seen.

What bugged him the most were the weird screen he is seeing, it seemed to be floating mid-air, a when moved his head it moved to stay in his field of vision. With curiosity he tried to reach with his hand, it was when he saw something unbelievable.

It wasn't the hand he was used to, It was metallic, with multiple moving parts. It was like a robot hand hot his. His first thought was. Ahh, They might have had to cut it out and this is an artificial arm, It looks cool at least!

[Tungsten Heart, showing full control]

[!"£383":"@"£!$@$"342-342] The system started to bug out as if corrupted... then a single message appeared

[To William, It's me, Doctor Kihara! In the last years of my life, I saw the system being created and I was almost certain it will play a role in saving your life!]

[I used my life fortune to hack it before the security system was complete and uploaded this for you! Full control panel, Everyone under the system is essentially a slave under the {artificial intelligence}! With this you can act freely and improve!]

[This will be the last time you hear from me, never bow down society!]

[Name: William Biner]

[Race: Half Cyborg]

[Level: 1]

[HP: 10]

[EP: 10]

[Exp: 0/100]

[Strength:12]

[Dexterity:10]

[Intelligence:12]

William has played enough games to understand most of this, only one thing stood out to him, What was EP? He expected something like MP or SP. Just as he thought about it the system responded, it seems to react directly to his will.

[EP short for Electric Power. Is used when activating your body abilities as well as weapons, Your tungsten heart is always converting your body heat into electric power so it will regenerate over time]

[As a Half Cyborg, reaching 0 power will cause your robotic parts to shut down, this will cause your living parts to start dying. Unless supplied immediately with energy this is will cause death]

Oh, I guess I will never use it now! I don't want to die after all the efforts they made to keep me alive.

William kept looking around his system, flipping pages overpasses that were filled will text, he didn't bother reading it was too long. He eventually figured out that he was in the {Help] menu and had to exit to get to the main command.

An interesting tab was there, objectives!

[Daily objective: Test your new body!]

[Do some light exercise, reward 5 Exp]

William stood up, it wasn't painful as he expected, instead, he felt quite light for how much steel he was seeing in his body.

Just as he started to walk a middle-aged man entered the room, he was wearing a white coat that didn't seem like that of a doctor, William suspected it being a different fashion that developed over time. This has caused him to ask the question.

"Which year it is?" Hearing his speech the man was surprised he even backed down, his eyes had a look of doubt. This was the first time a half cyborg spoke right after waking up!

"Patient number 3594, William biner..." The doctor stopped for a brief moment, "It's the year 3150, about 1120 years since your preservation!"

Hearing the shocking revelation, William had to sit down on the bed...Over a thousand years, what in the...? He couldn't believe it. Let along with everyone I know, The country might not exist!

"Please tell me we're still in the UK!" William asked with hope.

"UK?" The man seemed confused, that was a term he wasn't familiar with!

Seeing that William's face turned sour, he asked again as if pleading "The United Kingdoms of Britain! What happened my country?" He almost cried.

The man seemed to finally understand what William meant, yet his answer wasn't a pleasing one. "The term country hasn't been used in the last 700 years, since the elder brain rose to power, all countries have been disbanded and merged into one under its ruling, we now live in what we call Dashboard Earth!"

William looked devastated, his face darkened as he heard the news.

"WelI guess you can say only one country exists now, and its name is Dashboard Earth!" The middle-aged man helps William to stand back up.

"What happens now?" William asked.

Ahem!... The man cleared his throat before answering. "A typical provider is to send the newly awake Half Cyborg like you into the therapy facility where you will be taught how to walk and speak again, alas it seems you could do well on your own so well skip that!" Willam considered the man now as a doctor, suspension still filled him!

"Cyborg?" William pretended to not know, he asked while tilting his head.

The old man seemed a bit weirded out, "You can see it on the screen ahead of you, can't you? Half cyborg means some parts of you were exchanged for robotic parts! You should see your name, race, and health!" The old man explained.

"That's all?" William asked, trying to confirm something.

"Yeah, you shouldn't see anything else except if there was a malfunction warning, by any chance do you see one!" As the doctor realized he was about to panic.

"No, I just thought it was awfully empty for a screen that seemed always in my sight!" William tried to give reason to his question.

"Oh, that! Just think about disappearing and it will do!" It seemed like William hit the nail on the head!

Firstly he confirmed that the whole leveling system was due to the full control panel doctor Kihara left him, secondly, he managed to confirm that this place wasn't a hospital, otherwise, this man in front of him should have started to check him instead of looking panicked, It was clear he has no medical experience.

With that, William stood up and did some jumps in front of the old man, stretching his body.

"Let's skip the therapy! What's place are we going after that?" William asked with excitement, as he monitored the man's reaction.

[Daily Quest completed: +5 Exp]

He finished his first quest!
