What is this?

Ajax slowly began to regain consciousness as his eyelid lifted open.

"Ugh, what happened," Ajax said as he stood up from the ground and glanced around the room.

The last thing he could remember was defeating the metallic bot, and then he blacked out.

'Where did the doll go?' Ajax thought with a confused look as he noticed the doll was no longer in the room.

'How long was I asleep? And what the heck was that screen I saw earlier?' Immediately Ajax thought about it, the same window screen from the earlier pop-up

Ajax stared at the status screen in front of him with a look of confusion and disbelief.

' what the hell is this?' Ajax thought rubbing his chin while examining the screen from top to bottom.

' Is this the reward for defeating the doll? It looks like those games and system that the main character usually have in novels' That was Ajax's thought as his eyes moved around the screen.

'If it's like those novels then I should have skills and attributes, right?' Ajax thought and the current screen changed to a whole new one.

'So it truly is like those rpg novels' Ajax thought as a smile appeared on his face.

'Skills and abilities' Ajax was now getting how it works so he called out in his mind.

Time freeze: Lvl 1

[ description: the user can freeze time of the area he's currently in, for a total of two seconds. - 10 soul points per use]

_________________________________

'Time freeze sounds cool, but the number of soul points required for use is too high, and just for two seconds? What the hell is a soul point, to begin with,' Ajax thought as he rubs his chin

'But why only one Ability? Maybe if I level up I'll unlock more Abilities. I think the universe just sent me a gift

Never have any human used a Mutant ability without the Skill coin and Skill slot.

The scientist who creates the equipment made it clear that the human body couldn't handle the raw Mutant power energy.

If one was to bestow the power on him or herself directly, it'll only lead to death.

And also, every Skill Slot shouldn't have more than one Slot. Meaning you get to use only one mutant ability of your choice.

While the Skill Slot and coin are further graded into 5 grades. Grade 1 is the lowest and 5 the highest.

If a person comes from an affluent family, then it's guaranteed the person will get a high-graded coin.

But the poor are left with scraps and ruins.

Ajax on the other hand just got something that doesn't need a skill slot or coin to use an ability. It's all programmed into the system.

Maybe that's why the Mutant never shared his ability with the public, he knew the wrong person might get his or her hands on it.

That's why he created the game and the worthy opponent shall come out victorious

Ajax stood there scrolling through the status screen until a new screen pop up again

[ Daily tasks]

1: ten pushups a day: reward: 5 exp

2: run 10 km a day : reward: 5 exp

_________________________________

'Ten pushups? ' Ajax's eyeballs nearly fell from his sockets

'I don't even know how to do two let alone 10' Ajax lamented.

'But at least there's a reward, exp. If truly this is like those online novels, then once I hit 100 exp I'll level up to level 2 and maybe unlock an ability or two' Ajax thought with amazement about his theory.

Kachum!

The entrance door of the room opened snapping Ajax out of his daydream, and a girl walked in.

She had sporting blonde hair that reached her waist and a nice body every guy would call 'hot'. Her name was Raya Blair

Ajax on the other hand forgot where he was or what day it was. He was too focused on the system that he forgot to check the time on his cube.

"Err..who are you?" Ajax asked as he scratches the back of his neck. Ajax has always been the shy type when it comes to talking to ladies or associating with people, he just likes staying on his own.

But people won't just let him 'stay on his own', they just push him around and bullies him.

"What do you mean?" Raya replied with a question.

"I come here every day" Raya added.

"Err..isn't it a little too late? It's past midnight you know" Ajax said with a nervous laugh.

Raya took her time to examine Ajax from head to toe, trying to figure out if he was high on jelly weed.

"What do you mean? It's one in the afternoon" said Raya with a baffled look.

"Huh?" Ajax quickly took out his small cube from his back pocket and checked the time and date.

'I was asleep for three days?' He thought with a surprised and worried look.

"I haven't been down here for some time because I had the stuff to take care of, I just decided to give it a shot today" Raya added noticing the strange boy in front of her was lost in thoughts.

'Darn it, I haven't carried out Draco's assignment let alone report back to him. Sh*t he's going to kill me' Ajax thought as he dashed out of the room with fear written all over his face.

"What a weirdo" Raya shook her head as he turned her head to face the doll and start the level.

But to her greatest surprise, the doll was no longer there.

'I thought no one can move the doll outside unless the level is completed, but there's nothing here' Raya thought as she searched the room.

'Does it mean that strange boy completed the level?' That was Raya's thought

The sun was starting to set meaning it will soon be dinner time. Although Ajax felt a sharp pain of hunger in his stomach, it wasn't food he seem to be craving for.

    Ajax's eyelid began to lift open as he was regaining consciousness. Ajax finally regained consciousness fully, he turned his head to glance around where he was.

As usual, Ajax'sx roommate wasn't in. and this was a good time for him not to be around because of everything Ajax was going through with the system. Ajax quickly took off his uniform and looked at his stomach where Tommy stabbed him. But there was no injury of any kind. Not even a scratch. 'That's strange' Ajax thought with a look of surprise. 'I'm pretty sure that bastard stabbed me. Just what happened after I activated the time freeze. I ran out of soul point completely and yet I'm not dead?'

    Ajax stood there in silence and speechless with his head down after hearing what Raya has just said. There was no need to try to lie again because he's been silent the whole time making it obvious she was right. "Look, Ajax, I'm not here to blackmail you or threaten you to do anything" Raya spoke with a look of sincerity on her face. "Why are you here then? Did someone send you? Is it the Hellfire guild? Because I know those guys have been after that doll for years now" Ajax asked. The Hell Fire Guild is a small organization of fire mutant abilities. But their guild is a bit different from the normal guilds around the world. Their sole aim is to increase the size of the guild and take over the whole world in the future because the fire Mutant ability is one of the strongest abilities among all the Mutants abilities. There are a few other stronger abilities out there but most of the users are afraid to go against the hellfire guild. After the leader of the Hell Fire guild disco

    Inside one of the Sir's office , a meeting was happening. In the middle of the room was a round table, and five chairs were stationed around the tables with people occupying the sits. Three men and two women. "I'm sure we all know why i called this meeting" One of the man seated said. He was a bald headed skinny man and a goatee beards. He is the Sir one of this academy known as Sir Bradley Dawson. "Very well then, and we all know who the student that was killed was, and who is parents are" Sir Bradely spoke again after they all nodded in affirmation. "I thought it was your duty to supervise the affairs going on around the school's premises Sir Damien? How could you let this happen!" Sir Bradley said shouting and was visibly sweating.

That was how the grades were displayed, grade one means there will be only one bar and grade five with five bars. "You still have time to back down loser, because i don't plan on holding back" Oliver said with the same confident tone of earlier. He had two short dagger in both hands, and by the looks of it, the dagger was of high grade. Ajax just stood there warming up his fists and legs.

Most night Ajax is usually called by Draco to do some delieveries for him. And after completing the mission, Ajax would head to the doll room to try completing the level. But after Tommy's death, Ajax haven't seen Draco's face and he hasen't even called him. 'Does Draco knows i killed Tommy? ' Ajax thought. It was obvious Draco sent Tommy that night to take care of Ajax after he was humiliated in football training earlier. And since Tommy didn't return and the news of his death spread across the school, it won't be hard for Draco to know who the culprit was. 'If he knows, then why hasn't he told anyone yet?' Ajax thought. Ajax didn't let the thought bother him too much, so he stood up and went to take his shower.___ Few minutes later, Ajax was already fully dressed in his school uniform.

    In a blink of an eye, the street they both fought on was now covered in what looked like a shadow bubble, locking every living creature around inside and also impossible to escape. After lowering the veil, Jo felt his strength dropped drastically which he knew would happen.Once in inside the veil, the enemy's strength gets halved, and the reduced strength of the enemy would be added to the user, making him extremely powerful. Jo knew all about the Shadow Dominance technique, that's why he wasn't really shocked when his body suddenly became sluggish and numb."To be honest, I never thought you were a mutant of this level. To be able to use such a technique meaning you're a....hybrid?" Jo finally spoke up after a few moments of silence, and his gaze fixated on Ajax who stood there meters away with his whole body now equipped in his shadow armor."I never thought I would ever cross paths with a hybrid, but now I didn't just crossed paths with one.. I would also get to kill one!" Jo sho

    "Damn it, how am I supposed to defeat him if I can't use any of my soul related abilities?" Ajax pondered internally."Should I summon my puppets?" Ajax mused. "Nah,they are already out of soulpoints and would need time to regain their strengths. I am on my own for now."Ajax's puppets already lost all their energies fighting Jo's clone a few hours ago, so using them at this moment wasn't an option."I'll have to try my best to defeat him without using any soul related abilities, and also avoid sustaining another critical injury that would require super fast healing." Ajax concluded as he called out his shadow blade and it appeared in his right hand.He clenched the blade firmly in his right hand, crouched a bit, before dashing forward at lightning speed. He charged forward at a speed that almost looked like he teleported, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived directly in front of Jo and swung out his blade towards his his head.CLANG"The blade teaveled through the air, and when it w

    While Ajax struggled to figure out what was going on, he heard a deep voice meters away, causing him to shift his gaze instantly."Don't be shocked, Ajax!

Jo spoke, and his voice sounded like three people were talking.Ajax stood there, his gaze fixed on Jo who seemed to have grew in both height and seize. His muscles were now bulky like that of a chronic bodybuilder, and his height like a professional basketball player."Soul combination is a technique that can only be mastered by a few souljackers clan. However, it can only be used once in a lifetime, and that is when the other two siblings dies.""The sibling left would then be able to absorb the soul of his brothers, and they shall be awakened once again inside of him..making three of them work as one.""I never thought this fight would extend to the point where the soul combination would be executed, but oh well, you're much more stronger than I t

He wiped the blood off his shadow blade before shifting his gaze towards Mo who was still in the form of his lion-like soul beast."You killed my brother!" Mo roared in anger as he launched forward in all fours. His speed was quite fast and impressive, and the ground they stood on shook slightly as he dashee forward.Ajax got in a fighting stance with his blade gripped tightly in his right hand and his gaze fixed on the incoming mutant.

Jo smirked as his two mutated brothers began to charge towards Ajax at once.Mo ran on all four at an incredible speed, while Bo also crawled on the floor like a serpentine mutant as they headed towards Ajax.
