Ken pulled the hand with the spear behind him. Ready to launch he runs up to edge and tosses the spear sending it fly at great speed and power.
After throw the spear, Ken let's out a roar, "Ahhh!!".
The spear... hits the middle of the dummy.
Ken was in disbelief. He thought it was all dummy luck. But it wasn't him with the skills.
"Did you miss me?", A voice asked.
It was Ezil.
"What the hell?!", Ken shouted in a fright.
"What is it?".
"What is it?!".
Both Daniel and Ezil ask.
Looking and pointing at Ezil, he asked Daniel, "Don't you see him?! Don't you see him?!".
Scratching the back of his head, Daniel asked, "See what? Ken are you ok?".
Ezil begins to loudly laughs menacingly, "Kekeke!!".
Ken now realizing that Daniel can't see Ezil, he tries to change the subject, "Umm.. didn't you see how it literally got a prefect shot on the dummy?".
"Oh, that.. Ofcourse I saw. I didn't know you had that level of skill or maybe it's luck.", Daniel suggested.
"Maybe.", Ken said w staring straight at Ezil. Ezil smirked right back at Ken.
"Try to do that a few more times again with all the weapons you pick and we'll see.", Daniel commanded.
"Ok.", Ken said.
After going on to the range weapon's, it was the same as the spear; he hit a bulleye.
Daniel was in awe of this novice's skill, but it wasn't Ken's skill, it was Ezil's.
After a hour and forty nine minutes they were finally done with testing Ken.
Daniel who was scratching the back of his head with disbelief; his jaw had drop on the floor. He said, "I think you more than qualified to be licensed with the weapons of your chosing".
"Really?", Ken asked.
"Yeah. But don't forget..", Daniel paused.
He walked up towards Daniel and stood tall infront of him, menacingly. "You can the spear for free but rest... you have to pay for.".
"Ok.. that shouldn't be a probably.", Ken answered.
"Excellent! Now follow me!", Daniel excitedly told Ken.
They were back at the lobby where Aiden was waiting. His hands were crossed on he was leaning on the steel door.
Daniel went behind the desk which was in the middle of the room and showed him a huge collection of melee weapons over his head.
"Pick any spear you want.", Daniel told Ken.
"Hmm..", Ken looked up at the all of the spears. There were ones with wooden handles and ones silver handles. Finally his eyes fell upon one.
"That one.", Ken pointed.
Daniel looked over his head and saw what Ken was pointing at.
"Are you sure you want that one?", Daniel asked Ken.
"Sure.", Ken reinstated.
Daniel took down the spear from the wall and handed it to Ken.
"The person who gave it to me made a joke that it was cursed and some other nonsense.", Daniel told Ken.
It was spear with a black handle in silver symbols surrounding it. The blade shined bright as it was precious ore like silver or gold.
"That's why it caught my eye.", Ken explained.
"Ok then. It's your problem if you hands fall off.", Daniel said.
"What about the other weapon's?", Ken asked.
Daniel explained, "Oh. You gotta pay me first before you get those.".
"Oh kay. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow or maybe today. How much is it for all of them?", Ken inquired.
"Sixteen thousand.", Daniel said.
"What!", Ken answered.
"Sixteen thousand.", Daniel repeat. His voice loud and clear for him to hear.
"(That's more than half of the money that I have.)", Ken said in his mind.
"(But... fine.)", Ken gave in.
"Ok I'll transfer the money to you.", Ken said.
"Excellent! Now I think we're all done.", Daniel said.
"Ok.", Ken said.
"Come on Aiden!", Ken called.
They both exited the room without saying other word.
After they both leaved, Daniel began to speak, "I can't believe the kid believed me. It was less than sixteen thousand for all those weapons. Even though he picked a lot it was actually twelve thousand, one hundred.".

The duo, Ken and Aiden, were walking down the hallway of level 44.
"Why didn't we take the other elevators?", Ken asked. His voice was filled with confusion yet excitement.
Aiden looked at Ken who were both still walking and said,"Because you need the exercise.".
"Exercise? Why didn't we just do that at the weapon occupation class?", Ken asked.
"Ugh, stop asking unless question!", Aiden said with anger.
"Alright old man.", Ken mocked.
"Call me old man one more time and see what I do you to you...", Aiden said; putting strain on his voice.
"Ok... old man!!", Ken dashed off, running away from Ken with a smile in his face. Everyone step he took made a large echo in the hall.
"This fucker!", Aiden cussed. He started racing after him.
Even with Ken's head start, Aiden was easily catching up to him.
"Freak, freak, freak!", Ken started to worry. He looked behind to see Aiden right behind casually running.
"Ahh ahh!!!", He screamed. After a thrill of fear hit him, he started to speed up.
Even though Ken got face, Aiden kept his pace with him.
"Help! Help! Help! Help! Hel-", Ken was slapped in the back of the head by Aiden.
The force of his slap made as if he had thrown a stone at him.
"Ahhhhh!!", Ken screamed in agony.
Aiden crouched and grabbed Ken by the collar. He dragged him up in the air and said, "Are deaf? I said, don't call me old man!". Aiden's dark aura made Ken filled immersed in fear and captivated.
Ken suddenly break though from the his terrifying aura and argued, "Umm.. you technically said call you old man one more time.", Ken continued to mock in the face of death.
"You idiot!", Aiden raised a fist at Ken's ready pound it.
"Wait, wait, wait!", Ken started.
"What?", Aiden asked.
Ken asked, "Can you put me down on the ground first?".
"...", Aiden stayed quiet.
He tossed his face straight at his face without saying a word.
"..."

"He send it?", Daniel said to himself in his lonely office. He in disbelief and excitement.
Ken had sent the money to him in few hours.
Instead of contemplating about him scamming Ken of his money, he was overjoyed to have scammed him instead.
"Haha!", He laughed at bottom of belly.
"I wonder how I'll send this money this time!", He asked jolly.
[Level 30.]
"Awo.", Ken said while walking away from the ATM.
His face was swollen and blood was leaking from his nose. His eyes were black. The blood in his face was sucked up, pushing itself out.
"I'm get back at you Aiden!", Ken swear.
"Hahaha!".
"Hahaha!!!".
"Hahaha!!".
"Hahaha!!!!".
A cacophony of laughter emerges from level 100.
"Ha, I wonder if he'll survive tomorrow?!".
"I'll bet on him!".
"Are you out of your mind?!".
"I think I'll bet on the other one! He seems more experienced!".
"He's not even in the bet!".
They continued to shout and carry on their antics loudly, not care about the real life of this events people. Only look after themselves and looking the others as objects what they can exploit.
"But.. This Ken fellow will be well equipped. I will bet on him!".
"True! I'll bet on him as well!".
"Me too!".
"He has some skills with weaponry. I'll bet on this Ken!".
The bets on Ken rose enormously because of his decision. Even though got scam, they see him as the person who has a chance of surviving.
The man with the lion mask, sits in a room by himself, drinking of alcohol. He says to himself while look at a tablet in his hand,"Hmm.. the bets for Mr. Lincoln has raising pass everyone else; interesting.".
On the screen is a bar chart. At the top of the bars are the faces of the gatherers. Ken has the most points, but is in second place. First belongs to Zen.
"But Mr. Logan is the most interesting of the bunch. And this Aiden wants to join. Hmm.", The man thought.
"We'll just have to wait for tomorrow.", He said calmly. Drinking is alcohol, immersing himself in the taste.
"Team 0087 needs two more members. Many I can give them three more seeing how Mr. Aiden wants to join.", He thought squeezing his lips.
"That's if he joins today that is.", He reinstated.
"Hmm, but this feels wrong. But there wouldn't be a wrong if there is a right?".
"This right for the best for the people of the shelter.".
"The right thing was to help us, but god still sits in his chair. If even the most divine being did us, why can't I?".
He gets up of his sit and walks to the door.
"I'll be the one that gets up.", He said.
He stated, "And do the wrong for the better.".
