A New Mission

A month passed after Jin got discharged from the hospital.

Jin was training vigorously in his gym, his sweat trickled, his eyes were set on getting his former strength back, he pushed himself despite draining his stamina.

"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.]

Jin smirked as he had found another way to increase his strength.

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

Jin opened his status and began using his keys.

Another bright light shone throughout his house, Jin was one step closer to getting his past strength back and maybe even surpassing it.

Jin was set on fully utilizing the system to obtain his goals.

[Abilities unlocked]

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

Jin was surprised he didn't expect one of his past abilities would be shown, It was something that he created himself, he was glad to get it back, yet he was also surprised that the system knew about it.

"I didn't expect "Eyes of God" to be classified as an actual ability...and 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 has already surpassed one of the abilities of his past self when he was once stagnant.

At the rate that Jin's growing he expected to get back to his prime in less than 5 years.

'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!'

Jin finished testing his ablities.

After doing so, he planned to go back to HQ to discuss some things, he planned to tell the core members that he had lost his powers and that they should brace themselves for the upcoming disasters and calamities that they have to face without Jin.

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

He was hit with a sudden sense of nostalgia he looked out his windows and as expected "He" was here.

"JIN!!!"

Someone shouted as their voice echoed throughout the city.

Jin was startled, his smile was suddenly broken by the man's shout, and as revenge Jin shouted back.

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

Jin shouted as he laughed right after, his partner whom he considered his closest friend visited him.

'This stupid muscle brain shouting out of nowhere!'

Jin then went down and was about to leave his house to greet him.

"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! You're the only one who knows my true name and I expect you to use it!"

Cratos said as he smiled brightly at Jin.

Jin sighed.

"Whatever calm down, 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 partner."

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, he asked to make sure that the information was not leaked, but Cratos' next answer would agitate him.

And suddenly Cratos' tone got serious.

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

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

Jin was surprised and angry, he vowed that whoever leaked his information would be punished by him personally.

"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!"

After hearing this Jin was reminded of "Hunters" people who have powers but do not serve the government, since they weren't registered only a few hunters revealed their powers.

These hunters were powerful enough to rival the 10 strongest soldiers of the government, and were considered more dangerous than disasters.

"I may have lost my powers but I won't be taken down that easily, I'll recover it and put them in their place."

They continued their conversation.

-----

An hour passed.

They finally arrived at HQ.

"We're finally here!"

Jin stretched as he got out of the car.

A building so tall that it pierced the clouds stood over them, a monumental building that held the most powerful humans in the planet.

"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.

With each step Jin took his anxiousness grew, the competitiveness between him and the "Others" was insane.

As Jin stood outside the room he used Eyes of God before entering to make sure of any attacks.

As Jin peeked one second to the future he saw a barrage of attacks coming to him.

"Tch, these guys are really trying to kill me huh..."

He whispered.

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.

The others were baffled at what just happened, they knew that Jin had lost his powers yet he effortlessly evaded their attacks.

'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.

Jin needed this mission since he was drawn to it ever since he was a cadet, many investigation teams were sent to this mission in the past and the information they reported strangely drew Jin to it.

"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, yet the other rankers were displeased.

"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."

Cronos slammed his hands on the table.

"Everyone who is not in favor raise your hands."

"3"

"Now everyone who is in favor."

"3"

The vote was tied, and Cronos was ready to have a revote, but they forgot someone else.

"It seems that the vote is tied."

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

They all looked 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 while yawning.

"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..."
