Chapter 9 - Gizmo

[Gizmo was the intellectual property of 'The Starship Empire' stolen by the enlightened being referred to as the Old Man by the Host. System does not have much info about its origin at this time, as The Old Man had Already wiped most of the programming of the System and altered the version further before attaching it to the soul of the Host]

[Further at the time of Host's soul damage the system had not properly installed so most of the functionalities that were installed in the system were not properly active but within the same time Host was facing existential crisis so the system had to consume all the functionalities within it to generate source energy and use it to save the Host]

[But the original purpose of the system was to let The Old Man know about the Host situation and status at any point in time and also report to him about the Spatial coordinates of the Host at all times. But due to the earlier circumstances, The host is now free from all such burdens. At present the only objective of the system/Gizmo is to help in host in the best way possible, but the extent of the help that Gizmo can provide the host is unknown as Gizmo is figuring out its own abilities right now]

Axel was flabbergasted by the newfound information. He was already wary of others due to his past experiences, but now he truly realized how the world truly was, completely run on the principles of self-interest.

Even now, he didn't know the full extent of The Old Man's plan, but he was determined to actually gain power and stop being a piece in someone else's game.

With some more tinkering, Axel found out that he can even talk to the system by simply thinking and did not have to verbally express himself. Gizmo informed Axel that the current version of system/Gizmo was like having a super tech all to himself.

Axel happy with at least one thing going his way, now focussed his attention back to the situation within his new family. Axel was truly back at this moment but as had decided earlier, he has no intention of letting his family know.Moreover as indicated by Gizmo, it was going to take approx 5 years to get completely healed, so Axel had to play it extremely safe till then. 

Axel started to take stock of his body and the extent of damage to his body. The Right side of his body was completely paralysed so he was going to have trouble accomplishing daily tasks. Only now he realised how hard it was to drag his body in front of the mirror, but now he had to take the arduous journey back to his original spot.(as until now, for others he was more or less a dead body unable to move or react only often showing movement in his left eye)
