Chapter 14 - Michael

Michael, the man who obtained the second piece of 14 during the trial had a large built. He was six and half feet tall with ripped mscles and body weighing about 200 pound. He looked huge and terrific. He had furious look in his eyes which could intimidate normal populous just from his stare. His hair was dirty blonde which went well with the jacked white body. He was an agent trained by the government since he was a child and had patriotism programmed into him. He was one of the best agent for his country. He was raised in a way that he thought all the killings and dirty work he did was to uphold justice. He also had a fake identity with which he mingled into the world. He was a famous bodyguard, who worked for the rich people. This job was also for a purpose as he could collect information on what rich people were doing and whether there activity could harm his country.

Michael had gone to India for one of his mission. But things didn't go well for him in this mission. He was in Delhi, capital of India when the dawn of evolution started. He heard announcement inside his head. "What is this? Was I found out?" He was shocked. He had come to India under the disguise of participation in bodybuilding competition. There was no way he could have been found out this early in his mission when he hadn't even done a thing to draw attention on him. As he was contemplating about the choice he should take, he again heard the voice. Previously he couldn't understand a thing he heard but now he could understand it. After hearing the explanation from some entity he couldn't fathom, he had disbelief written all over his face. "Earth has been invaded. How's my country? " The first thought that passed through his head wasn't related to things he should do to overcome the current order but was about the condition of his country. From this one could tell that he didn't have his own free will. He was programmed in a way that no selfish thought appeared in his thoughts.

"What should I do? Can I still return to **? Or should I stay here and observe how India handles the situation? " As Michael was pondering over his next action, a blue panel appeared in front of his eye.

"Is 10 average ? Captain must have gotten an insane stat. He always defeated me in combat, he is super intelligent as well. Countries will probably collapse now that any one can become stronger by levelling up. I need to become stronger so that i can maintain order in my country. My starting stats seems good. I should decide my future route now. Which stat should i focus in increasing? The one which is less or one with more number." Michael was just formating plan for his future path when he recieved the notification for turtorial. "Oh, I can get stat point. I should increase my dominant characteristics from turtorial and invest the free status from levelling on my weaker points." He selected yes for turtorial and was transported into the white room. He had an urge to vomit as he was wrapped into another space. After that he was asked about the trial he would be participating in. He choose 4 trials, strength, endurance, stamina and health. Strength trial was same for him, he had to defeat single babbon with three times his strength. He passed this trial without any injuries using both of his skills, combat and identify. As he was experienced in fighting with disadvantage during his training as a agent, he didn't have a hard time. But he was confused after the trial as his second skill identify didn't work when he tried it against babbon. So he checked details of his skills which he hadn't paid attention earlier. He didn't know that by clicking on the skill tab, he could see the discription until he tried clicking all over the system panel to find about how to use skill.

*Skill:

1. Hand to hand combat [ Mid ] General combatives. Knowledge of close combat fighting skills using body as a wepon. Type: Passive Grade: E+

2. Identify [low] Identify targets weak point, but target can not be 3 levels more than the user. Type: Active Grade: D-

"So difference between them is their types. Does active skill require something to activate? Let's search throughly once." Michael started surfing the system. "Found it. Only thing lacking in my status is mana. This must be the energy that person talked about. I have none of those. Maybe that's the case, I couldn't use it. But this system sure is user friendly to give discription." Michael then went on for the next trial after the rest time was about to be over. He rested so that he could return to his peak form. This was a rule engraved into him. Next was indurance trial, he had to climb a rocky mountain.

"I trained in similar environment before. I remember it. I even beat captain in climbing competition on El capitan. This one seems similar structured. I get the feeling it's the same. Time limit is 5 hours. I had climbed El capitan within 3 hours. I will pass for sure but lets try breaking my own record."

Michael climbed the mountain within 2 hour. It was possible only because he had evolved. Though the stat point hadn't increased by single point, the muscles in the body were being developed and having more significance on the activities. As he reached the top, he found an altar glowing yellow light. As the light dissipated, there was a book levitating above altar. The surrounding had already started disintegrating. He ran as fast as he could and caught the book before it completely disappeared. He had returned to the white room. He confirmed his surroundings and after confirmation, he looked at the book. It had yellow cover but as he tried opening it, to no avail could he open it. The book suddenly gave out bright light and disappeared from his hand. He was shocked by the event, before he could panic the system panel lit up. As he looked through it, he found new generated tab below skill section.

*Justice *

He clicked on it to see the details but it didn't open. He tried few more times but it didn't open. It was greyed out in the panel. He couldn't fathom what had happened so, he stopped thinking about it and focused on his upcoming trial. Next one was stamina trial. He was mentally preparing himself for this trial.
