[Blood Debt 1 – Completed]
[1000 CoreCoins Acquired]
[Weapon Module: Phantom Edge Unlocked]
[Status Upgraded: Level 2 – Initiate]
Kael's eyes flashed dangerously.
The mirror masked man had been a formidable opponent, if that would even be put into consideration, and another thing is for sure — he's definitely as slippery as a snake.
The last time, he had escaped a gunshot on the head and Kael still wondered how he had done it. Probably another body. And Kael, wondering just how many bodies he possessed…
He remembered that fateful night:
The mirror masked man had met him on a mission, just like the one he had been taking earlier before his little accident.
Juno, Rook and Brick were in his company, but they later had to separate for their own part that would make the mission a success.
And that was when he met the mirror masked man. It wasn't on the rooftop or a high-rise, it wasn't on the ground either.
Kael had been assigned to sneak into a Luxurious company and retrieve the essence Pearl. It had been impossible to sneak through the main entrance and exit, so he had used the manhole to trudge underground.
And just right about then, he met the mirror masked man.
Out of anger, and the fear of losing his life to this same man that had killed his parents, he immediately charged forward, a silver gun flashing in the pale moonlight.
Kael could still remember the look of terror in the man's eyes when he had pulled the trigger. He also remembered seeing him die, his body crumpling down like a heavy sac.
That has been a relief not until today…
Even with the help of the CoreCoin System, he was having a bit of doubt in his heart that the man had died. I mean, it has been too easy, or is the system just too OP?
The feeling simply gnawed at him, so raw and scathing — still, the rewards from the system panels said otherwise. He released a shaky breath and forced himself to relax. 1000 CoreCoins? What can he buy with those?
Maybe from the system market?
He also remembered the Financial domination Panel. Does it have anything to do with his wealth, his market factions and sense of business making? Industrialization and tactical strategy to plan a market probably…
Kael sighed and decided to examine himself, the system and the newfound power — atop the high-rise, where the mirror masked man had been thrown down to his death, Keal positioned himself.
The system seemed to sense his intentions and then —
Wooooooossssshhh.
[Super Fast Influx, increased by 2%]
Kael's body swerved to the left, his legs touching the ledge, his body's position changing dramatically.
[Anti-gravity activated]
[Anti-gravity increased by 4%]
[Calculating trajectory balance]
[Balance: 12.6 rotation angle to the left]
[Reflexes +2]
At this moment, it seemed as if Kael ran upon the wall of the massive building, not at all afraid that he would fall down on his face.
Several moments later, he was standing on the ground, his eyes straining to look up at the building he had seemingly ran down from.
'Such height…'
He flipped the Coin in his grasp, and it glinted a dark, golden hue, causing even space itself to tremble.
Before he would think of the next thing to do, another mission popped out.
[Quest Unlocked: Blood Debt I]
[Target: Elias Vorn – Ex-mercenary, now runs a data-smuggling ring for the masked faction.]
[Location: District 11 – The Slums]
[Reward: 1,000 CoreCoins + Weapon Module: Phantom Edge]
Kael's eyes flashed yet again.
Kael understood.
This should be the person who had hired those assassins to kill his parents. And with what the system had given, the man — Elias is a kind of Ex-mercenary. A retired one, perhaps.
A data-smuggling ring is a group of people involved in the secret and illegal importing or exporting of prohibited or questionable information that can change even the balance of the universe itself. And this obviously makes it illegal. If this group of people isn't caught and controlled now, a lot of controversies would definitely crop up and it would be very disastrous.
Kael took this as a blood debt and a way to purge the world from what infected it.
The location is very obvious, the slums. And Kael finally realizes. There was no longer any need to be ruled by Juno and her crew. He knew that Juno should be calling him now, but of course that earpiece had fallen off when the mirror-masked man had thrown him down, which means he was already cut off somehow.
Before Kael could start his mission though, he saw a system notification — big and alarming.
[Failure to complete Quest will reduce Host's credibility in the CoinCore Network]
[Accept or Reject terms and conditions]
Kael chuckled softly.
"Accept."
The system panel disappeared and was replaced with a timer. That was how much time he had to find Elias and pay back the blood debt that he owed.
"2 days huh." Kael smirked.
A Contract Seal locked in, glowing on his forearm, it showed the duration and how much time he had left…
