Ch. 2 Meeting Silco

Sevika leads Don through the vast undercity towards what used to be Vander's pub. Now Silco's base of operations. The closer Don and Sevika get to the Last Drop the more common drug usage of Silco's Shimmer become. Some smoke it, some inject it, either way it seems to be an inescapable part of Zaun at this moment.

They finally arrive at Silco's base of operations and Sevika leads him to the back room. Past a door Don sees a desk and the back of a chair. It's a simple office despite the fact that Don knows Jinx a famous character is likely hanging from the ceiling at this moment.

The chair swivels and Don sees the man himself. Don speaks first, "Why would an underground boss such as yourself have interest in me?"

Silco responds, "Oh it might just be that over fifty people were pickpocketed on the same few streets yesterday."

"I don't see how that relates." Don says.

"Don't play stupid boy, I need you to steal something for me. As long as your other skills are as good as your pickpocketing I might have a nice job position for you." Silco says while rifling through his desk drawers.

He pulls out a lock and lock pick and tosses it to Don, "One of the best Piltover locks, if you can open this you can get what I'm after…"

"Go on, give it a try boy." Silco finishes wrapping his fingers together.

Knowing this man holds his life in his hands at this moment Don proceeds to pick up the lock pick and start fiddling with the lock. Luckily his thieving skill works all around and he has extensive knowledge on lockpicking. After a few short moments the lock opens alongside a level up in thieving to lvl 7.

This leads to a smile on Silco's face. "Good, you have a natural talent. This job requires finesse, otherwise I would send someone closer to me who can just blow themselves in. However I don't want to break relations with Piltover quite yet."

"Why me? I'm sure you have other people who could get through that lock." Don asks.

"Oh I do, however none of them could do it under five minutes much less in forty seconds like you managed."

"What's the job?"

"I want you to steal the hextech research notes and crystals from Jayce's laboratory." Silco says.

"Quite the dangerous job…" Don replies.

"Yes, well you will be paid handsomely." Silco replies.

"I'll need a few days to prepare, as well as equipment."

"Just let Sevika know she will arrange things for you." Silco smiles and sends Don out.

You may wonder why Don chose to work with Silco the main antagonist of Arcane. To put it simply he doesn't have the ability to fight against him. Silco owns the undercity and Don hasn't even leveled up anything other than thieving.

After Don left, a skinny blue haired girl named Jinx dropped from the ceiling of Silco's office. "I don't see why you don't just have me grab those things for you. I'm the one who's going to work on them anyways."

"Finesse my dear Jinx finesse. Something you somewhat lack. That boys the best lock pick I've ever seen. That was a triple mechanism lock. One of the best Piltover can produce."

"Nothing one of my bombs couldn't handle!" Jinx replies.

"I don't want to start a war quite yet.."

"Fiiine…"

Don wants these few days to upgrade his boxing skill, attributes, and hopefully the sharingan. The strongest system should be able to do this. Thus Don heads to Jinx and VI's game spot where Vi practiced boxing on a machine. He finds the place and sets down his backpack full of food.

After a little tinkering on the boxing machine he gets it running again after he acquired a new skill called mechanics. Thus he begins practicing on the machine. He steadily gained boxing levels while using his sharingan as much as he could.

After these few days Don got to level 11 in boxing and managed to upgrade his sharingan to two tomoe. Unfortunately after level ten there's a huge gap in experience required hence why he only got to level 11. He supposes he's as ready as he'll get and contacts Sevika for the mission.

He's got his eyes on a devil fruit in the system shop which requires a lot of money. Working for Silco can get him this kind of money. Seeing as it seems like a two or three years before the events of act 2 in the show Don plans to steadily level up under the protection of Silco.
