Sunrise

The crack on the window shone light meaning it was sunrise. This woke up the sleepy Nhel out of the bed and got ready for breakfast. It was still early in the morning and none of the other citizens were awake as they have very cozy houses unlike Nhel's.

Nhel then started to tinker with the mechanized suit to see he really needed a new mini power core instead of the somewhat broken core that was inside of the mechanized suit. However, as more time he tinkered with the mechanized suit he saw an engraving that was written on the shoulder of the mechanized suit: "Prototype - Level One."

"Mhmm... what an odd naming. Welp let's scratch it out."

Nhel then took a sharp combat knife to scratch and the knife was made out of titanium so it was durable too. However, as soon he started to scratch out the name some beyond his imagination was happening. It was regenerating! Nhel was speechless as this was happening in front of him.

"This is! T-This must be an ancient mechanized suit! But what was it doing down in the elaborate maze or so. And why hasn't anyone taken it... Well I guess it just looks like a piece of junk to be smelted at first sight. But! This is still incredible, it is something beyond in this era of mechanized suit. Though this is a neat find, how is it regenerating as the power core is dead... Let's inspect the core and take it out to better see the damage."

After looking at the dead core briefly Nhel's hand came into contact with the core and a zapping current jumped onto his fingers that made a small cut making it bleed. His blood then made contact with the core and it absorbed it. As this happened Nhel saw another miracle happen. It was that the core was being regenerated by his blood and the damaged core was now a newly shiney mini power core. It was unbelievable. A core absorbing blood, maybe it was vampiric. When the core was all new, Nehl tried to feed it more blood but to no avail, he just wasted all his blood that just splashed onto the core and made him dizzy... Then collapsed onto the floor.

The sun rose and it was finally afternoon. Nhel woke up tiredly, he wasn't used to losing so much blood. He went to his "kitchen" to get some medical supplies from the pantry and treat himself. Nhel then came back to the mechanized suit standing face to face with its helmet. However, After a few seconds later a blinding light came from the eyes of the helmet which surprised Nhel and fumbled down on the floor.

"What is it now, damn it! Agh! My eyes, MY EYES!"

Squinting to adapt to the light Nhel finally could open his eyes, he saw weird HUDS floating around him and a few seconds later the Mechanized suit opened up. And a voice was heard inside of his head.

"Hello, Mister Nhel, how may I assist you for today?"

"Uh...What is happening?"

"You are now recognized as the new owner of the "Prototype - Level One," a creative machine made in the ancient times where it would be needed the most to defend against hordes of monsters would attack Metal Tower for its pollution"

"But the monsters outside Metal Tower are all docile that sounds like a made up story. Also the guild would thin out the monsters loitering near Metal tower."

"That is because in the ancient times, the ancient citizens would build walls after walls pushing away the monsters into unknown territories thus temporarily sealing them away for peace. However as time goes on, the creation of mechanized suits became degraded hence what you see now."

"Sounds like you're just making this up as there's no wall to be seen. Even so I'll go take a look in the Central Library of Metal Tower to confirm of what you've said now. And how come you know so much about the current era?"

"That is because I am connected to you, all information are shared."

"Then if it's shared how come you don't want to give proof of what you've just said?"

"That is because I need permission from the owner (you) and it may even cause you to go in a very long deep sleep and it may even kill you in the process if I were to just give it out all the information."

"Then first of, what are you?"

"I am a sentient artificial intelligent made from ancient times, even though I am ancient I still am superior to this day's era."

"Hoh, is that so..."

"It sounds like you are being sarcastic. You may enter the suit furthermore, you may rename it."

"That so huh, then let the new name be scrappy."

"Granted, the new name of the mechanized suit is now Scrappy - Level One."

"Wait you said I can rename it."

"Yes, however the level must remain in order to function."

"Level? That's a level?? Then how many levels are there then? There should me unlimited levels then, right. Since this era the mechanized suit that are made have unlimited levels."

"Incorrect, this Mechanized suit only has three levels and it is one of the most wanted machine to have in the ancient times as the mechanized suit only had static levels. However, this one is different... This one has accumulation of experience and can level up by either fighting or upgrading. It is a unique machine and only a few were made and given to the best pilot. But are you a pilot? All I can see is a civilian knowing some bits and pieces of a mechanized suit."

"Well teach me then." Nhel angrily commanded.

"Sure, but you may black out from the transfer of information and training, the body will also get used to it, so no need to practice. You'll triumphantly go over to this day's era of piloting, so be extra careful of who you add to your party or who you attract."

'"Alright then, I'll take your words for it! Now let us begin."

The process of the transfer started and what happened next was that Nhel blacked out from such transfer and fell into a deep slumber.
