Killing_Spree

On the endless expanse of planet 888: The trash planet for trashy worthless people. The planet for the homeless, for criminals and for rejects. A place where scavenging and mercenary-like work is the only way to survive - Kase finds himself dumped there, on planet 888 having been abandoned by his parents at the age of 12 years old.

On this hellish and desolate planet there is no economy, only criminals and low-life rejects fighting each other to the death in order to earn enough money for a ticket off of the planet - And to inherit abilities.

———-

The Planet 888 System for dummies:

Criminals + people rejected by family + homeless people are all sentenced to starting a new life on this planet in order to keep all the other planets clean and sightly.

The only way back to a normal planet is to earn enough money to purchase an interstellar ticket. 

Each person on a disposal planet (like planet 888) has a bounty, AKA their worth. A person earns money by killing another person, thus inheriting that persons worth. Which contributes to their own ticket + living expenses.

When one individual kills another. The alive person inherits their victim's ability/s. Every person to exist in this universe is born with one ability. There is no limit to the amount of abilities a person can inherit throughout their life. 

For reference, on a disposal planet, the average starting worth of a person is about 30 cents. and an interstellar ticket is about $15,000.

[Two months after Kase was sent to planet 888 by his parents]

'I think I'm getting the hang of this lifestyle now!' Kase thought to himself. 

He is overjoyed because he has just inherited his first and only ability. 

Kase had been looked after by and elderly fellow for the past two months after arriving on Planet 888. The old man had been banished to this planet after becoming homeless. It seems that everyone on this planet is either a criminal, a reject or a homeless person who has been caught by the police. 

Yesterday the old man died. Of course this saddened Kase, but only temporarily. As it was also a victory for Kase, for he had gained his first and only ability. 

Yes Kase only has one ability, and it was one he had inherited through killing the old man… 

This is because Kase's own ability that he was born with was: 'The ability to be born with no ability'. This made him essentially worthless to his parents and also a disgrace to his family, this ultimately and eventually led to his abandonment.

Now, Kase finally had an ability, and boy that old man was carrying a treasure. It's no wonder he survived so long without being killed - despite his weakness. 

Kase had inherited the old man's ability, the ability to move at the speed of time… It was called 'Timestep'.

What an overwhelmingly powerful ability! Kase feels like he has been reborn as a 'to be' legend.

It was time for Kase to build a legacy on escaping this planet and taking revenge on his parents.

Kase is alone in a dark and dense forest, as he is currently travelling north, following the overgrown abandoned train line that leads to the only interstellar port on planet 888.

When he arrived here, the ship never landed. All of the people sentenced to a new life on this planet were simply hooked up to a parachute and chucked out of the ship once a safe altitude was reached. 

Kase plans to travel to the interstellar port and kill all the people he meets along the way, in order to earn as much money possible he will hunt animals for food, instead of buying rations from the security robots that manage the planet.

"It is time to start the greatest killing spree that the universe has ever seen!" Kase declares to himself. "I will become the greatest interstellar celebrity!" He continues.
