somewhere inside the game space that know no boundaries there was a room.
the room was black with three glowing doors as its default designs make every player sure it's the room of a new player.
a boy was lying on the ground sleeping with his clothes all ragged and covered in blood but he didn't even have a single injury on him.
the boy started to move slightly as he opened his eyes after a while, but he didn't get up.
"I should stop doing things like this...at least the ones that knock me out every time" Akashi said as he rubbed his head from the headache he gets every time remembering that pain.
"that S-rank no backfire wasn't able to stop the 11 pips consequence it seems that above 10 pips is beyond S-rank" Akashi said as he was analyzing his talent.
"at least I know my limits" Akashi said as he stood up from the ground and looked around.
"What happened after I opened that chest" Akashi started to remember what happened to him as he frowned feeling something extra in his body and the world around somehow weird.
" I am pretty sure I got stabbed in...the hand" Akashi took a while to finish his words as he saw something on his right hand.
a tattoo of a golden arrow with a red gem and a design of a beetle was drawn on his right arm.
the arrow back was extending towards his elbow as the head was drawn on the back of his hand.
the tattoo was literally looking alive as it reflected the light and glowed sometimes when Akashi focuses on it.
"Why do I feel this thing is familiar?" Akashi said as he was observing the tattoo.
Akashi reached for the tattoo with his other hand as the arrow flashed and appeared in his hand while the tattoo got dim.
"This is..." holding the arrow in his hand for a while Akashi drops it to the ground as it disappeared and the tattoo got back his light.
[the player No.4567893 is awake. you have 6 days and 8 hours for your next mission you may use coins to increase the time, but be aware if you can't pay you will be forced immediately] when Akashi was in confusion. the sphere started talking with his emotionless voice.
[for every day the player needs to pay 100 coins that increase by 100 for every week until 1000 coins] the sphere said.
"Only one week of rest... this game is really ruthless" Akashi said as he remembered something and turned towards the sphere.
[the player can leave the game space and don't do missions, but the player will keep his powers that he got from the game for only two years and can get them back if he finishes a mission] the sphere sensed Akashi thoughts and said.
"..... it not like I was planning to stop anyway" Akashi said before he opens the interface to check the game old messages.
------------
[the player opened rank S chest and got the following rewards]
[rewards:??? and rank A energy manipulation skill]
....
.....
....
....
[congratulations for the player to get the unique skill...Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]
----------
"....." Akashi widens his eyes looking at the last message as the picture became clear in his head.
"steel ball run...D4C...arrow...jojo" Akashi muttered those words from the shock he got.
pulling his hand Akashi caught the arrow and activated the game inspection.
[??? is higher than the player authority...detect the player have an EX skill and know about the hidden grade start showing the information] the sphere said and a light screen appeared on top the arrow.
---------------
the source arrow [rank EX]:
every world has its rules and laws that manifest in something called the truth.
this arrow contains the truth of a certain world and records every ability comes with that truth.
effect 1: give the player a skill called stand according to his wishes and personality even the conditions he is facing now.
effect 2: the arrow already fusion with the player soul and it can protect it from soul attacks.
effect 3:???
effect 4:???
remark 1: the player can only use the first ability if he upgraded his rank and increased his stand stage one time.
remark 2: the arrow will hide the player stand from anyone, but they will able to see it if they already have a stand or A-rank spiritual skill or talent.
remark 3: the arrow is already merged with the player soul and will come back to the player even if they are separated by a whole world.
remark 4: anyone who tries to use the arrow except the player. the arrow will destroy their souls.
remark 5: the arrow appreciates the player will and willing to help him but the player isn't ready to unlock the arrow full capability.
game note: this thing shouldn't exist in the chest.
--------------------
Akashi stared at the screen for some time before a smile appeared in his face.
"it seems my talent really worthy of EX rank...and the world around me wasn't weird it just...bizarre" Akashi started to remember his past memories.
what is Jojo bizarre adventure?. it something can be explained just by its title a bizarre world.
although Jojo isn't strong in the body power aspect, but when it comes to abilities Jojo can slap to death a lot of worlds.
the abilities in Jojo are just bizarre. some of them may be weak and tasteless, but they are flexible and can play an unexpected role if used correctly.
the strong ones are a completely different story they vary from time manipulations into material and shape transformation like turning something into a bomb or zippers and predicting the future even some of them break through dimensions and travel through parallel worlds.
these abilities manifest in a something called stand a personifications of it user life and spiritual energy.
stand also represents the user fighting spirit and individual psyche from his will to wish in life. they fellow few rules of existence like sharing damage with there users and variety into different forms as the human minds can be.
some stands have superior strength that surpasses any normal human and some are weak physically and what Akashi got is one of the strongest stands D4C.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or D4C for short is the president of the United States of America funny valentine in Jojo world.
this stand is among the most powerful Stands in the series. in his first form it is a very powerful close-range with a strength and speed that surpass humans easily.
but his true strength is his one and only ability at his first form...dimension hop.
D4C allows different parallel worlds, dimensions, and spaces to co-exist at the same time or in the same place. It also allows its user to visit these parallel worlds, dimensions, and spaces and interact with them.
the user only needs to be between two objects and he can activate D4C ability and disappeared from this dimension and appear after that from any place even a person back.
the two objects varieties from solid objects into liquids like water even dust can be used as a medium for activation.
D4C even allows it user to pull his other selves from parallel worlds to assist him in combat even if they don't have D4C. the user can also bring things or people from parallel worlds but if the two same objects from two different parallel worlds are close or connected they will break into menger sponges before obliteration and causing an explosion.
Akashi was remembering all D4C abilities as he sigh.
"...*sigh*... I didn't think in my life I will get this ability, but...for me now boom kitty boom boom will be the best" Akashi was thinking that killer queen is the best stand for him now as the 3rd or 4th rank players can't handle even grenade explosion without a special ability.
"and with this game style of work it will never let me have such ability from the start" Akashi said as he called the interface and opened his skill list.
-----------------
ZONE [rank B]
marksmanship [rank D/level 3]
energy manipulation [rank A]
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap [rank S/stage 1]

"...*sigh*...I knew it" Akashi said weakly as he clicked on all his new skills.
a light screen appeared in front of Akashi.

--------------
Akashi ignored the note of the third skill and focused on D4C.
"the arrow is really a EX rank item even giving me something with these stats while I am still a second rank" akashi nodded while looking at D4C stats.
"stages and levels... the stages are probably D4C ability evolution from space to dimensions and that final stage is definitely love train" Akashi said before looking at the second screen.
"levels... the game didn't send me any information it seems this is the part of discovering it yourself" Akashi thought before raising his right hand and thinking of summoning D4C.
a baby blue and pink arm appeared from Akashi hand as he was able to control it waving it right and left.
Akashi noticed his hand have a blue aura around it when summoning D4C even feeling his mental and vitality being used to maintain his existence but it was almost negligible.
"the game said S-rank abilities modifies the world rules but the A-rank manipulate it" akashi begins to think about the game ranking system that he dosen't understand while looking at D4C arm.
"first... the ability" Akashi took what left from his shirt and put it on himself while he was laying on the ground, but...nothing happened.
"why...." before Akashi finished his words the sphere sound came from behind him.
[the player can't use skills in his personal room] the sphere said and before Akashi said anything it spoke again.
[EX skills and talents don't count in this category] sphere said as Akashi felt embarrassed from acting like an idiot now.
Akashi stood up before looking at his tattered shirt and broken pants.
"I need new clothes" Akashi said before opening his store and brought some clothes for 70 coins.
Akashi chose a black shirt with black and red hooded jacket and black pants while choosing shoes of the same color as the hoodie.
wearing these clothes Akashi nodded before looking at the clock that represents his mission time.
< I need to prepare for this time especially with other players around because...I need to be the first one to take the napkin> akashi thought while fixing his clothes and put the hood on his head
