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.

Mission Impossible.

The metal detectors are just one of the obstacles that have to be overcome if one is to bring contraband into the establishment. There's also the examination by the bodyguards at the entrance for dangerous plastic tools that will escape detection. But these difficulties didn't discourage him.

He printed out images of all 20 bodyguards, 10 of the prostitutes, and memorized how they looked. He memorized everything about their physique. It wasn't easy. It took 2 weeks. Only then did he feel confident enough to accept the mission on the terminal. 

He thought about hiding wooden or plastic weapons in his body, but the discomfort wasn't going to be worth the sharpness of his bones. So he settled with some tools that would come in handy. Then he waited for nightfall and made his way to the establishment in his suit. 

Wrath encouraged him on the way there. "It is going to go well. If it doesn't and you die, then I'll just have to wait for a while until I find a replacement for you. So you don't have to worry about me. I'm completely fine with your death."

Kelvin fought back the scowl, trying to force its way to his face. He said, "I am not worried about you. At least not right now. You are the least of my concern."

"Hey, I'm just saying. I'll remember you though. I might make fun of you to my next wielder, but I'll make sure you don't look too stupid in my stories."

"Why, thank you." He said with dripping sarcasm. 

"You're welcome. I'm considerate that way."

The jokes actually helped to ease his tension. It helped a lot because he was very anxious. After all, this is his first operation on his own. He won't have the protection of his father or the help of his siblings. 

He muttered to himself, "All on my own. I guess this is what freedom is."

He walked confidently as he entered the skyscraper. He took the elevator to the 81st floor while humming to himself. Everything went well for him. He was granted access to the establishment after a thorough inspection. Then he sat at the bar and bought a drink. 

He made sure to ogle the workers as he nursed his drink. He was acting the part, but he found himself aroused soon after. The exposed skins of the women got to him more than he thought it would. 

Eventually he picked a girl to spend the night with or maybe the next few minutes with. The two of them moved to the rooms at the back and went into a room to enjoy the company of each other. 

The first thing he did in the room was to find a USB port in the room to put a flash drive into. The flash drive held a virus that would scramble the system and stall surveillance until discovered. 

Then he waited until they were both undressed. Next, he jabbed a glass needle into her neck as soon as she lay down beside him on the bed. She slumped immediately.

The needle was bigger than a metal one, but it escaped detection, which he very much appreciated. Unfortunately, it was uncomfortable in his arm where he stored it. So it feels good now that he can discard one of the many he has prepared. 

He copied her physical form quickly with malleable anatomy. Then he wore her clothes and left the room. He didn't kill her because she had health monitors installed in her body. They would notify the establishment of her demise, which is why he used tranquilizer. 

Unfortunately, he isn't sure if the tranquilizer will kill her because the dosage is very high. He had to make it very high to make sure it would work quickly on anyone. 

He said to Wrath, "I guess I am running out of time. Either I finish this before she dies or she dies and rats me out like a snitch."

Wrath chuckled, "Snitches are the worst."

He waited to make sure that the virus had worked before moving on with his mission. First, he lifted her slumped body and hid it underground. Then he closed the door and went to the bathroom to ease himself.

There was a guard in front of the bathroom, which he flirted with. The guard didn't see the needle coming. He only felt a little pain in his neck before he slumped. 

Kelvin dragged him into a bathroom stall and undressed him quickly. Then he changed his clothes into those of the guards and took his identity. The last thing he did was to take his guns. 

The guns needed biometric authorization, but that couldn't stump him. He left guard there and moved on to other guards. He aimed mainly to get close to the boss, but he got rid of any guards along the way too and replaced them.

Most of the guards were alone. This made it very easy to corner them, sedate them, and replace them. But even guards that were in pairs couldn't escape from him. He just had to make sure to jab them at the same time and help them not to fall to the ground directly, or they would create noise. So he was able to make his way to the office of the boss this way. 

He had a lot of help from Wrath. The spirit helped him check who was on the other side of walls or around a corner. Its ability to phase through everything in its way helped as a good scout. He could have done things on his own, but the help of the scout made his movements and actions faster. 

The office of the boss was in a corner of the floor. There was a long, empty walkway that led to its door. This way the guards were able to get a good look at him and would be able to shoot him down far before he reached them.
