Mutation ZERO

"Andy are you going for the awakening today" a yound lady called out to the young boy. Andy stonberg that was his name he is an orphan living in the slums of the city alfania. He doesn't remeber much of his family as they died when he was very little he was sent to an orphanage where he was trained in assembling small devices like the portable computation device he had on his hands now. The term orphanage was really just a front in actuality it was just a sweatshop that works children to the bone and the care takers were all alcoholics that abuse the children for their amus.e.m.e.nt . Andy got out of their as soon as he turned 11. Then it was the cold and cruel streets his next adversary by using the knowledge he gained from assembling the devices he started a repair shop. the women who called him was the neighbour he gained when he moved in to this hut of his her name is jolene and she was the only one who cared about him in this ghetto. "good morning aunt jolene, i need to drop off this at the house of old man lawrence and then i am going to institute to awaken i finally saved enough for it" andy said smiling at her. jolene smiled back at him and said " ah yes when you become a big shot fighter dont forget your aunty okay. Now come in and eat this bread". andy Felt warm in his heart and made a mwntal note to save aunty from this ghetto once he made it big. Then he refused the bread because he knew she doesnt have much in his home and lied he already ate. Then he took the electric scooter he made from spareparts and took off to deliver the poRtable computation device to old man lawrence. He was one of the few people who helped him by giving him devices to repair and getting him work. Old man lawrence was opening up his magic device store when andy came with his goods. He petted the head of andy and said "did you work the whole night you brat i told you to get enough sleep or your brain will rote. "andy gets out of the way and said "stop it oldman i am not a kid anymore, here is portable communication device you gave me to repair i have to go to the awakening today".Old man lawrence laughed as he said " why are you going to that place and blowing all that money for something like awakening you might not even have 50% chance to awaken a power, come and work for me with your ability you can get a nice life going"."stop it old man you know i want this more than anything also if it fails i will come work for you ok"andy was getting annoyed. Seeing as andy will not listen lawrence took out his card and placed a finger on it, the touch interface opened up and he sent 550 wens to andy's card. "here brat i got you an extra 50 wens for doing such good jobs now get out of here"he said. Then andy said bye and took off in his scooter again.on the way lawrence's words weighed on his mind what if i dont awaken any powers 2000years ago from when mana started to appear on the world everyone started getting more powerful and they started cultivation and vecome even more powerful.some people received mutation from birth which can be awakened by technology. My only chance to awaken is now since i need 10000wen to afford it. If i awaken a useful power i can join a guild or even the army then cultivate and become someone strong. His line of thought was cut off when he saw the road was bloacked by stones and barrels and he knew he was surrounded by the bandits of the streets. Soon as if to prove him right four heavily built people came into view one of them said" hey andy where are you going" he got annoyed when all he got back was a stare from andy he again said " dont bother lying we already know you are going for awakening that means you have so much money on you hand it over and you will live".andy was furious "did they hear it when i was talking to aunty today this is getting troublesome" he thought andy opened a compartment in his scooter and took out some thing like a gun and pointed at the guy in front and said " move it jake you don't want to die for some money do you". jake was surprised at first the he got angry and said " do you dare kill some one in here enforcers will hang you plus is that thing even real? "

andy pointed the gun at a nearby rock and pulled the trigger " don't make me laugh you and i both know that enforcers don't give a damn about us street rats get out of the way". a chill ran through the spines of all four of them when they saw the bean sized hole in the stone. Jaje stood out of the way and said " you better pray not to run into me in the future brat". Andy just rode away around the obstacles. He was sweating like crazy inside 'thank god they are stupids that gun cannot be used for another ten minutes..... idiots!!"

he finally reached the centre of the city in fron of a gigantic building. This is the building known as the institute it is the place where people go to awaken their mutations.

he went to the reception to pay the money and get a token. He got 75 which was not bad considering it was currently 25. he waited for what appeared to him to be hours in reality it was only minutes before he was called in.He was injected with a serum then placed in a chamber then he was bombarded with a few types of radiations. abdy was thinking this is not so bad when suddenly "ouch..." he felt like thousands of ands was biting in his head and he blacked out
