DESTINY GAMES

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

Same Thing Different Begining.

Wrath replied, "I have seen these two abilities before. They are not shapeshifters. They are just your good old-fashioned Physique-class supers with metallic transformation of the body."

"What's more, if they ascend through the tower of destiny, they will gain game points that they can use to awaken more abilities. Eventually, the two of them will become the same metallic being."

"They just started from two different directions. The guy started from the inside while she started from the outside. They'll eventually become completely metallic; even their eyes will not escape the transformation, and it might become permanent."

"Be that as it may, I recommend that you go after the man with the metal bones. You will be able to gain a bigger boost from it when you use it together with your shapeshifting. Plus, it will eliminate one of your weaknesses. With metal bones, your brain will be protected, and you won't be killed instantly by a bullet to the brain."

Kelvin nodded in agreement. "The metallic bones guy should be easier to kill even if I fail to catch him off guard. Now we have to decide on a plan."

They read all the information that was made available about the man. It was extensive. There were notes, pictures, and even videos of important things to pay attention to. 

Apparently the man was the boss of a prostitution parlor. This parlor occupies an entire floor of a skyscraper. The front room is a bar. People can get drinks there and move on with one of the ladies or men to the rooms at the back to engage them in their service. 

There were pictures of the layout of the whole floor, including pictures of the front room and the access point to the back rooms. There was a video showing a path from the entrance through the first room, the hallway behind it, and finally through the service entrance at the other side. 

The floor can't be accessed even if he can fly. It can only be accessed through the two elevators and two staircases on both sides of the building. One elevator is public and can be used by anyone to access any of the other floors, but the other elevator is private and can only be used by employees of the various businesses in the skyscraper. 

The prostitution parlor is not the only floor in the building. It is just one of the 123 floors. So he can escape into one of the other floors and wait out a chase there. 

Everything was planned out. The major problems of the mission were how to reach the boss of the floor and how to escape after killing him. 

He is confident that he can kill the man, but the man rarely shows up and doesn't meet clients. Next is the issue of security in the building. Both entrances are manned with supers. There are men patrolling the floor, and there are men guarding the boss. 

So even if he manages to kill the man, odds are he won't survive long after. If he is to survive, either he will have the strength to break through a wall and survive a fall from 80 stories up or he will have to kill the security.

By the looks of the information available on the security forces, the later might be more difficult than the former. He might be better off taking his chances with the wall and the fall than fighting 20 men. 

These two issues are why the person who ordered the kill is paying a lot for it. They are paying 100,000 dollars for the kill. He doesn't know how much that is worth since he hasn't really had a use for money.

Neither does Wrath know the value of 100,000 dollars. The two of them are ignorant in that aspect. All they know is that the average reward of unranked missions is 20,000 dollars.

Some missions are 50,000, but they are few. 100,000 is not the highest though. There are others that are 120,000. But 100,000 is clearly up there. This information helped them estimate the value of the mission. 

Wrath mulled over the price range and said, "Either there is a lot of money to be made in the elimination of this guy or someone hates him a lot."

Kelvin shrugged. "It doesn't matter. What matters is if I can do this or not. It is going to be difficult, but I am sure that I can do that."

Wrath agreed. "Yeah. With your kind of shapeshifting, it should be doable. It would have been easy if you had intangibility and disintegration. You would be able to phase through any walls or destroy them. You would be unstoppable. Or not."

Wrath laughed as it said that. 

Kelvin ignored his laughter and focused on what he said. "It will be easy if I had them, but those kinds of abilities are rare. Besides, whoever is in possession of them will be very difficult to kill."

Wrath waved his worries aside, "Forget about that. We'll take things as they come. For now, let us see what you can do. We will need to activate your ability first to see what it can truly do."

Kelvin agreed, so he left to do more research and buy or steal the tools and materials he would need to pull off the heist. The most important thing he wanted to get was a gun. 

He doesn't have a ranged option of attack, so a gun will come in handy. Even if he did have a means of ranged attack, using his ability costs energy. It would be a good idea to conserve his energy, especially since he will be facing 20 guys soon. 

He returned home, and he went over the information again to plan out his actions step by step. It was then that he noticed he wouldn't be able to take a gun or any dangerous metallic objects into the establishment because of the metal detectors at the entrance.
