[Decisions!]

-----Mike's POV Narvid Planet-----

'...Okay, we can make do...probably *sigh*'

The first block in my inventory had a pair of daggers shining with a purple glow around them.'...Inspect '

[Epic tier: Viper Assassin set Daggers]

[Damage: 1,000,000*(stealth damage modifier)]

[Stacking Bonus: 2x]

[A set of daggers belonging to the viper set.]

'...yup new combat build coming soon...Zoey what does it mean by stacking bonus...'

[Static bonus is a multiplier that is present in Gold tier weapons and above... it means that every hit after the first hit has a multiplier of 2x if you successfully get a combo, and it resets as soon as your streak ends.]

'...Zoey what do you suggest are my options to safely leave the planet...'

[You can not escape the planet in your current body, as you cannot copy the fingerprint with your current ability level. You can either increase your ability level with coins in the abilities tab or you can buy a better ability. There is also another way to safely leave the planet .i.e to contact your parents. As they are low-level aristocrats they can at least extract you from your current predicament.]

'...Dad...yeah now that I supposedly have some value he may rescue me from here in order to gain some form of control over me...Maybe I can use this opportunity to escape the shackles of my family...but Mom...I need to inform her that I am okay if I am going to do this I can give her an excuse that it is a necessary thing for my ability...Do I go back or not?'

'Let's look at the abilities tab anyway...Abilities'

[Abilities]

[Speedster (C-):- Passively Increases user speed by 4x.]

[Grave robber (E+):- gain one knowledge from a recently deceased person]

[Shape shifter(E):- gain the ability to morph the outer structure of your body to that of someone else]

'Okay, Zoey, how does this upgrade thingy works?'

[You can click on any ability that you would like to upgrade and it would show you the number of coins required to complete the upgrade]

I clicked on the Shapeshifter ability and the description changed along with it being highlighted.

[Shape shifter(E ->D): 25000 Coins - gain the ability to morph the outer structure of your body, along with fingerprint, to that of someone else]

'wtf ...why is this so expensive...'

[The actual price of the Shapeshifter(D) is 30,000 coins, so you can buy it directly if you want...]

'...sassy assistant...'

I upgraded the shapeshifter ability and waited for the warm feeling to envelop me…

'...'

'...right that didn't work'

[You already have that ability, Mike...If you would look at the ability screen in front of you, you would notice that the ability already is done upgrading...]

I looked at the abilities screen…

[Speedster (C-):- Passively Increases user speed by 4x.]

[Grave robber (E+):- gain one knowledge from a recently deceased person]

[Shape shifter(D):- gain the ability to morph the outer structure of your body, along with fingerprint, to that of someone else]

'...okay that was a little embarrassing. Anything else, Zoey?'

[No this should be enough to impersonate the identity of the kid. It would be helpful though if you manage to upgrade the ability one more time.]

'...how much will that cost?'

[Just 450,000 coins...]

'...I'll ignore that.'

I opened my watch and went to settings and fiddled with settings to make it unreachable, because as soon as I exited the base the jamming signal went off and some people were able to send me messages.

[Mom: Mike your dad is a little angry, maybe you should contact him. He talked with the academy to get you some leave for a couple of days to visit home, But the academy said you have not been to the academy for the last few days...message me when you get this...]

[Mom: Mike!... Your dad is gonna talk with your academy to try and get you an early holiday… Come home soon...]

[Mom: Good Evening son! You did not come back to me earlier today...everything okay?]

[Mom: Good Morning Mike!]

[...]

[Dad: Where have you been these last few days. Msg me as soon as you get this]

[Dad: These are your travel documents and tickets. For the holiday next month]

[Jane: You okay?]

[Jane: Where are you?]

[Jane: ?]

[Jane: Congrats...I didn't know you were such a great shot.]

[Luke: Dude, where are you. I have been in your dorm, you have not come back since the last few days...You okay! Msg me if you need any help.]

[Luke: You were not at the academy...Partying much?]

[Luke: Dude are you joining any V-League team??]

'...Alright I need a new watch'

[You can upgrade your watch. It will support multiple accounts]

'...right, I can't hate you, can you find and upgrade the watch...'

The golden tint on my watch changed to a purple one as the system created the second account by the name of Rudolph Cold.

[Do you want me to access the watch of Rudolph and copy its contents to the second account?]

'Yes...'

[####................]

As Zoey copied the data and credentials of Rudolph's watch into my watch's second account I finished with my meal and looked around the mall.

[Ping!]

[Data cloning completed, it is advised to either destroy or hide the original watch.]

I walked up from the food court and walked outside the mall.'Okay, what now. I gave up my Identity but I don't wanna be stuck as a 14-year-old kid...or maybe...not too dangerous.' I walked towards the space station and went to the ticket counter, an automated machine asked, [Good evening sir. Where would you like to go."]

"Can I please get a ticket to The Silver ring..."

[...The recommended age to travel to The Silver ring is 18+, and the recommended rating is C+]

"Yes please!"

[Okay, that would be 1250 credits. The shuttle leaves in 15 mins]

I paid the credits from my watch and scanned my thumb to prove my identity. A plastic card was generated by the machine. I took the ticket and walked towards the R-9 shuttle gate. I got a lot of weird looks when I arrived there, as a 14-year-old I was not exactly visiting a tourist spot stood out easily among the crowd of ruff looking people.

I silently stood there and was checking out potential body swap partners, when someone approached me. The man stood out from the rest of the crowd, while others looked like rough thugs walking back to their home ground. The man who approached me was in a crisp business suit with a hint of armor underneath it. He leaned at the wall beside me where I was waiting for the shuttle doors to open. His voice was silky and contained both power and pleasantness at the same time, "What would one so young be doing on a plane to The Silver Ring..."

I kept my pose of leaning against the wall and pretended to check him out while answering, "That's the only place I know that has enough opportunities for me to earn some real credits..."

"Uhuh, but there is quite a possibility that you won't even be able to reach any mercenary organization to apply for a job. "

I stopped looking at him and just stared upwards towards the far end of the ceiling, "There are some chances that you have to take if you want to move forward..."

The man looked at me for a bit before taking a card out of his pocket and extending it towards me. I took the card and looked at it to notice it was a card for a business organization established on The Silver ring.

[Alex Black]

[Black Star Group]

[Silver Ring Mercenary association authorized]

I raised an eyebrow at him before pocketing the card and moving towards the moving back of Alex as he started to board the shuttle and inside went to the VIP section. Inside were a mixture of rough-looking grunt guards with some individual in armor and some in well-maintained suits.

I followed him and he indicated to me to take a seat anywhere. I looked around and noticed almost everyone was eyeing me up so I went max speed and placed the tip of a dagger on the jugular of someone who was moving towards me with a menacing look.

'...'

There was shock present in his eyes as he backed away with armed raised and I unequipped my dagger in plain view of everyone. Seeing the dagger vanish in thin air alarmed everyone as even the calmest ones were agitated. I walked backed towards Alex and leaned back against the wall beside the seat next to him.

'...'

'...well this is going to be fun...'

I am working on the next chapter at the moment and maybe I'll finish and post it today before sleeping. So there will probably be another update in 3-4 hours.

Do leave some comments and reviews, I love reading them and knowing that at least someone out there is reading this .

Peace!!
