Adam's POV-Rise City

'You don't have to be so obvious about it... what is Rem thinking employing such an idiot...'

I ignored the guy who was following me and placed walked through the streets of Rise city until I arrived in front of Angel Gene's HQ. The Angel Gene is a special branch of the Defense Association which is in charge of the safety of all the various cities across the galaxy. It was one of the most powerful organizations present which deals in the sale of higher quality gene solutions and Innate ability awakeners.

'It has been a while since the last time I stepped into this building.'

"Welcome sir how come I help you" A young girl with a long ponytail bowed slightly as I entered the building. Since Angel gene normally deals with high profile clients and I was wearing my academy jacket she asked politely, otherwise, I probably would be accompanied by one of the androids.

"I would like to place a recurring order for S-grade gene solutions" I replied, "Also can I look at the catalog?"

I could see her surprised expression quickly covered behind a smile, "Of course sir, I'll contact the floor manager right away" she then swiped at her I.V and I received a notification.

[Angel Gene's High-class Catalog received]

[Would you like to open it?]

I clicked yes and a small list of items appeared in front of me.

[S-grade gene solution- 1,000,000 C ] [Can be used every 24 hrs][+0.01 overall fitness per use]

[A-grade gene solution- 10,000 C ] [Can be used every 24 hrs][+0.001 overall fitness per use]

[High-grade Innate ability booster - 1,000,000,000 C ] [1% increase in ability effectiveness]

[Med-grade Innate ability booster - 100,000,000 C ] [0.1% increase in ability effectiveness]

[Low-grade Innate ability booster - 10,000,000 C ] [0.01% increase in ability effectiveness]

'Damn... the price of these boosters increases like stock market... and where are those mental energy boosters? Don't tell me they are only available to VIPs.'

"Good evening sir!" A Middle-aged man greeted me, I let my wrist fall down and looked at him.

"I don't have much time, I need S-grade gene solution's delivered to Mars Military Academy Dorm Room-423 for the next year starting today, can we set up the payment plan?" I was impatient, I just have 10 more hours to use those blank cards and extract as many benefits as possible.

The manager looked stunned before he smiled and waved his arms towards the girl from before who quickly went away, he then typed something into his I.V and said, "Confirming your order sir, S-grade gene solution, quantity 365, recurring order starting today?" he looked at me with a questioning look.

I nodded as so he typed in a few more types, "Name of buyer?"

"Adam Blake"

...

It took him a second as the Manager's eyes widened before he managed to regain his composure and continued with a soft stammer, "d-delivery place, Mars Military Academy Dorm Room-423, Correct?"

"Yes"

[You have bought a subscription package from Angel Gene, 1 Million Credits per day]

[365 million credits will be frozen from your account]

[Accept/Reject]

I clicked on accept and a notification sound came from the Manager's I.V, he quickly smiled and continued, "Thank you for your business Mr. Blake can you wait for a second?" he waved his hand and the girl from before arrived again with a small wooden box in her hands and a card.

"This is the VIP card for Angel Gene Mars Branch, with you can gain access to our catalog from your I.V., also this is your gene supplement for today."

I stared at the box for a second as I put away the VIP card, slowly opening the wooden box I gazed upon the slightly golden liquid inside the needle with excitement.

"Congratulations Mr. Blake," The manager said.

I nodded politely and then turned away walking softly out of the building and then out onto the streets again. Tall buildings were neatly arranged on both sides of the streets, there were not many corporate offices, most of the buildings were owned by government organizations or hunter parties which focused on going into the frontlines and hunting various species found those were found to beneficial for humans evolution.

'Well as I said, we are called monsters for a reason.'

I went through the teleporter and went back to my room quickly before taking off my jacket and carefully injecting the gene solution into my right arm.

A wave of coldness took over my whole body before I started burning. I quickly laid down on my bed and endured the wave of extreme cold and warmth for 10 minutes before the feeling suddenly vanished.

'Ugh, It's been soo long I forgot how it felt like...'

I dragged myself towards my bathroom and removed my clothes, soft sprinkles of water blasted me from every direction.

'Alright, I need to hurry up.'

I looked at the 6 classes in front of me, I totally forgot about the Joker card, in the 100 cards there was a certain possibility that a Joker card could be present, except for the 1st character card drawn by a person. So out of the 19 cards that I had, I got 6 Epic classes while the rest of the cards drawn were Joker cards.

'If there was a record for getting the Joker card, I may have possibly broken that...'

For everyone else, the possibility of drawing a joker card was maybe 1/100 but since the rest of the normal cards were revealed in front of me, I certainly had a worse time avoiding the fated card.

'Forget it, only 2 classes don't have any restrictions, I would have liked going for Apollo's favored but I don't think I have ever taken Mental strength boosters... but I guess my Innate ability is based on my mind so maybe it will work out?'

I picked up my helmet and placed it on.

I.V connected... Time left until Integration starts, 7 hours, 57 minutes, 34 Seconds... Choose Profession?

A small blue screen appeared in front of me, I looked around the blank white space, 'Alright let's see if this works out, Apollo's favored...'

Profession selected... checking requirements... requirements met... Starting Integration process...

And with that, I blacked out.
