AuthoRed

Due to the overbearing waste of mankind, earth got knocked off balance by the impurities. Which resulted to violent weather conditions, and disturbing mutations in both man and animal.

The government quickly built-in interconnected underground strongholds in various states and countries, for the survivors who were immune to the mutation to take refuge in. 

But something strange was later on discovered... Some of the survivors began displaying potentials of magical abilities, and after a series of research by the government, they decided to launch a life-like game which would increase the chances of an individual gaining a magical ability.

Jayden Logan had gained a system instead of a magical ability before the launch of 'Hope online', but when he discovered he could only summon a slingshot rifle with throwing knives, he became too embarrassed to tell anyone, and gave people the impression that he was powerless.

He was hoping on 'Hope online' to magnify his chances of gaining a magical ability... but things just never go as planned in this accursed world.

The Merc System.

"H-hold on, are they trying to use him as a leverage to get to me?"

The lady replied with her lips twitching like she was holding back laughter.

"Why does it feel like I'm being mocked here?"

Jayden asked with creased brows, as the ladies discussion sounded foreign to him.

"That won't be a problem, Camilla. You did the right thing though"

Mia said to the lady with a reassuring smile.

"Thank you, Captain. I shall excuse you now"

Camilla said with a bow, and elegantly walked off.

"Shush it! As long as you're on this ship, my ship, you address me as Captain! With respect!"

Mia interrupted Jayden with an authoritative tone.

"W-what? Don't give me that attitude! I demand an explanation, right now!"

Jayden stood his ground, not letting himself get intimidated by Mia's tone.
