Chapter 98 098: Tango In Red Salvation II
When Cole opened his eyes again it was in a storage room, or perhaps it was not as strange as I was rather peculiar. The room was circular and had a canopy bed with blue and black silk sheets. But the most prevalent thing within the room apart from the massive glass window that showed the ocean and a coral reef that was resplendent with many different colors.
He got up from the bed and quickly found the room he was in was circular in nature. He could make out seams in the wall and since he was familiar with architecture like this, the odds were that this was smart house…. Or facility or building… whatever the fuck this structure translates as. He got up with a sigh, a little exhausted as he gave a query to Morgan.
"Where are we Morgan?" he asked as he looked around not at all too happy about the state of things he was seeing, this place was really weird if he had to be honest. There was absolutely no warmth in the building.
[This is a secret facility underneath the city of Tokyo master…. I am connected into the facilities systems. At the moment the Matriarch and lady Tehilla are resting, while the security team from Sierra Corp is busy interrogating the prisoners we have taken and casing the facility t9o make sure that it is completely secured.]
"So what do I do now? Is there any food here?" Cole asked, feeling really hungry after the sheer amount of energy he had spent during the fight at the restaurant.
[There is an autonomous system in place master, I will have an early morning breakfast sent to you shortly, in the main time would you care for some entertainment?"] Morgan asked as Cole shook his head.
"No, just send me a detailed yet compiled file of all my available assets, and perhaps some investing opportunities. It wouldn\'t be wise to have a lot of money and not spend it wisely."
[Of course master…. Give me a moment… compiling data files now]
Cole sat back down on the bed and let out a tired sigh as he rested. It wasn\'t too long after that the files he asked for were given to him, and soon enough he had a hearty meal while he looked over what was made available to him. Cole got bored midway, and dropped the files as he started paying attention to the internet, leisurely browsing and watching videos.
This was a relaxing event that he\'s really not had a chance to do in quite a while, then he watched some of the news over the Titan Rising Online, and the rumors going about of abilities being brought out of the game into the real world. Almost 99% of the people commenting about such news or clips said did not believe it and likened anybody talking about it as naysayers and conspiracy theorists.
Even in some of the videos he had been used as a reference to show that super powers now existed, but then again, the vice of people shooting it down with sound facts and insults were more than those who believed it. It was almost as if there as someone somewhere trying their hardest to shoot down the rumor about super powers now existing.
But it wasn\'t super powers per say, all of them were just skills that were successfully made the transition to real life. Never the less he followed the profiles of those who were now called the top rankers, he discovered that he was now ranked 4th out of the entire 5 million aspirants. He growled, somehow seeing that he was not even amongst the top five pissed him off.
Cole laid right back down, and logged in, waking up back in the cradle as his racial upgrade had already completed. He looked around and stretched a bit, feeling more control over his body as he felt for the first time ever, his almost completely forgotten tail move about a bit. He shuddered, the feeling was extremely weird. Then he looked at the system alerts in front of him.
[Racial Refinement Complete! Raen Adolescent is now Raen Juvenile! +40 to energy, +40 to all stats! +35 to all stats per level, +35 to Energy per Level]
Cole smiled, this was crazy, and the penchant for growth for this race was absolutely bonkers. Every ten levels, would be a refinement. And from that refinement the race would get stronger, exponentially, and he had no idea what the limits of this races. The stats that he was getting now was very much similar to what he would be getting from a silver or gold ranked race, and the bloody race had started with just 7 stats point a level to all stats. And now he would be getting 35 per level just after two refinements and the race was still juvenile.
Cole got out of the cradle and moved out of the tents it was placed in. the first thing he noticed was Farida waiting out front for him with a small smile on her face. But it wasn\'t just her, almost every other aspirant in the camp were waiting for him too. Some of them had gotten bored and were sitting and laying about, but the moment he showed up, they were all standing at attention.
"You have some balls on you World Breaker, of all the most hair brained schemes or actions to take, you pretty much marched into that town yourself and stole a bounty right out from under our noses…. You\'re insane!" Farida said to him as she moved closed and clapped I\'m on his back, shocking Cole by her amicability as he turned to everyone else.
"What do you want?" he asked as he angled himself a bit, casing the areas for escape routes in case this was a mugging of some sort. Farida shook her head at him and smiled.
"You really have to let loose and wind down a bit Cole, everyone here just wanted to get a glimpse of the most famous Aspirant in the event. Heck you are now back to be the 1st ranked out of all of us." At her words Cole furrowed his eyebrows and quickly checked the ranking list, and she was right, because there right at the top with bold letters was the first ranked golden crown and border of his name.
"Quite a few of the aspirants have tried to replicate your feat of going into the town and shooting everyone and everything down Gun a blazing like the second coming of Django. They\'ve all been sent back to the cradle as the bandits have tightened their defenses. Nobody has the necessary skills to get in or break their blockade. We were waiting for you to take the lead one again…. Of course we are all willing to pull our weights… so just tell what you need and we will do it." Farida said to him as she tuned to the other aspirants who nodded their heads in agreement.
Cole looked at all of them, then shifted his gaze beyond the hill to the town in the distance, seeing that truly they had more bandits around the entire perimeter of the town. He shook his head, that wouldn\'t stop him, and even if it could, he would be able to break a hole or path through that flimsy blockade of theirs. He nodded to himself and turned to Farida and the other Aspirants.
"You guys can help me by staying out of my way…. You can do whatever you want… but I repeat, stay the fuck out of my way… or ill cut you down too." He moved away from them all, looking just as dangerous as he was feeling. And based on the pissed of looks and whispers that were following him, his arrogance had pissed quite a few people off. But he didn\'t pay attention to that as Morgan appeared by his side, ready to make the next charge with is master as Cole checked his stat sheet.
