A New Mission

A month passed after Jin got discharged from the hospital.

Jin was training in his gym.

"Finally!"

Jin took a deep breath as sweat trickled from his face.

"System, did I do it?"

[Your mission was successful, 102/100 40kg bicep curls, 55/50 weighted sword swings(10kg), 200/200 Squats, Time remaining: 2h 43m 15s/4h]

[Rewards: (2x) Common key, Silver key and Exp]

"A silver key? That's new."

[Silver keys can be used to upgrade/evolve your abilities and attributes.]

"Got it, and also I should have enough keys to unlock the abilities feature."

Jin opened his status and began using his keys.

[Abilities unlocked]

Abilities: Metal Body, Speed boost, Strength boost, Eyes of God.

"I didn't expect "Eyes of God" to still be here, I thought I also lost it, there's also the metal body ability the system told me about, I guess I'll try it."

After Jin used his ability his arms slowly became metal, what he didn't expect though was that his arms looked exactly the same as his mechanical parts before he was healed.

"So this is where all the materials went to, it looks artificial yet somehow it moves so smoothly."

[That is because your body has fully accepted it as one of its limbs and due to the power of the system the material has been enhanced.]

"It's decent, I'm gonna try Eyes of God next, I wanna know if anything has changed."

Jin deactivated the metal body ability and used Eyes of God.

After using it his eyes turned bright blue and his vision was enhanced, he could also see the weaknesses of everything that was in his field of view.

"System did anything change with this ability?"

[Your cognition ability should've also been enhanced and at that level you can see 1 second to the future.]

"Being able to see the future is a game changer! 1 second isn't a lot right now though."

Jin grinned as he's surpassed one of the abilities of his past self where he was once stagnant.

'It might just be a small change now, but if I fully utilize this system there's no telling how much more powerful I'll get!'

After Jin finished testing all his abilities he prepared to go back to the HQ.

Jin Finished his preparations and as he was about to leave his house he heard a familiar car outside.

"JIN!!!"

Someone shouted as their voice echoed throughout the city.

Jin was startled.

"AHH!! SHUT THE FUCK UP I THOUGHT MY EARDRUMS WERE GONNA BURST."

'This stupid muscle brain shouting out of nowhere!'

"HA! There you are!"

A large muscular man approached Jin as he left his house.

"Cratos! I see you still haven't fixed your habit of shouting!"

Jin shouted with a grin on his face while covering his ears.

"You know I don't like being called that by you when we're outside! You're the only one who knows my true name and I expect you to use it!"

Jin sighed.

"Whatever, so what're you doing here? I thought you were still on a mission?"

"I finished it early and the general sent me here to pick you up, also I noticed you rebuilt your house! As expected from my rival."

He said confidently.

"C'mon get inside we'll talk on the way."

Jin entered the car.

"Well? I heard you lost your powers?"

Jin was surprised the only people who were supposed to know that information was The general and a few other executives.

"How'd you know?"

He asked suspiciously 

And suddenly Cratos' tone got serious.

"Information about you was leaked, everyone knows now..."

"WHAT!!? Who leaked it? Were there spies??"

"Yes, several spies were captured...at this point "Hunters" may target you if you travel alone, that's why the general sent me, The strongest!"

"...I may have lost my powers but you're still no match for me...and I'll get my powers back someday, anyways so what's going on in HQ right now?"

They continued their conversation.

-----

An hour passed.

"We're finally here!"

Jin stretched as he got out of the car.

A building as tall as a skyscraper stood in front of them.

"I'm still amazed by this sight."

Jin said while smiling.

"Let's go! Everyone's waiting for you."

They entered the building and went to the meeting room.

As Jin entered the room he was met with multiple attacks, and surprisingly he perfectly dodged all of them.

Jin grinned as he entered the room.

'Had I not used Eyes of God before entering I would've been hospitalized for at least a week!'

"You thought that just cause I lost some of my strength you could defeat me with feeble attacks like those!?"

Jin said as he laughed.

"Fucking monster..."

"Ares" The 6th ranked soldier whispered.

"Guys calm down, we're hear for a formal meeting."

The 3rd Ranked soldier, "Poseidon"

"I don't care! The title of "Null" is mine!"

An elf shouted.

"Hermes" The 7th Ranked soldier teleported behind Jin to make a sneak attack.

{Metal Body}

His attack failed due to Jin's ability.

"You're underestimating me too much!"

Jin shouted as he glared at Hermes.

"Tsk!"

Suddenly a white haired man appeared in the middle of the room.

"Everyone that's enough!"

He shouted as a wave of energy made everyone froze.

'Cronos! He was actually the only one I considered to be a threat before I lost my powers.'

"Everyone sit."

He said.

"The main reason we're here is to assign someone with Mission-0."

"The main plan was to send Null but since he's out of commission now we're gonna have to assign someone els-."

"No! I'm doing it!"

Jin immediately answered.

"We know Mission-0 is not combat focused! And considering my abilities even at my current situation I'm best suited for it!"

"You do have a point there."

Poseidon stated.

"Are we really considering giving Null the mission?!"

Aphrodite the 8th Ranked soldier arrogantly said.

"Based on the information we gathered for years we know that the Missions-0 to 10 are connected with each other, and since Null cleared 2 of them he's more suited to enter Mission-0 than any of us!"

Cratos defended Jin.

They continued to argue whether Jin was suited for it or not.

"Enough! Let's settle this with a vote, everyone who is in favor raise your hands."

"3"

"Now everyone who is not in favor."

"3"

"It seems that the vote is tied."

"Wait, There's some who hasn't voted yet."

They all look at Hades The 4th Ranked soldier as he was sleeping.

"Hm? Ah my bad, It was too boring I fell asleep."

He said with an unserious tone.

"You do know what's happening now right? So are you in favor or not in Null being given Mission-0?"

The mood in the room suddenly got tense.

Everyone was waiting for his answer.

"I..."
