1 GENISIS
There was a loud explosion. People were screaming. He heard another blast and looked left to see a destroyed glass tube.
" Hey let be out!"
He pleaded banging his fist on the glass tube he was in.In the distance,he saw a silver haired woman in a white labcoat giving orders to her technicians.
"Hey Lady!"
He called again but she couldn't hear him. He felt a vibration in his pocket and took out his smartphone. It's screen was whit and it began to glitch. The room suddenly burst into flames. His eyes widened as a wall of fire rushed at him. He backed into the glass wall
"So is this it,is this my end"
He wonders tears streaming down his eyes.The floor of the tube began to glow
"Huh?"
There was a flash of blue light just as the facility exploded.
****************************************
The griffin roared as it plummetted downward. It opened it's wings and caught itself just in time. A fireball from nowhere blasted it into the ground. A strong blast of wind blew down on it holding it in place. it raised it's head and roared. An earth spike shot out of the ground and stabbed it in the head coming out off it's beak.
( You shouldn't play with your food)a female voice said
" I caught it didn't I "
(Honestly Kojo if you had used the statistics I provided this wouldn't have lasted 5 seconds)
He sighed
"Kojo"
That's the only name he could remember. That and him almost burning to death in some kind of lab. He woke up in this world six months ago in a cave with no memory beside his ordeal.
SIX MONTHS AGO...
"Where am I. Am I dead?"
He said when he woke up.
( No your still very much alive)
A voice said in his head.
Who are you
( I am an Artificial Intelligence created by Dawn enterprises)
" Ok the why am I in a damp cave and why are you in my head?" He suddenly remembered what happened and sat up.
" Wait the fire..."
(You don't have to worry about that.)
"Huh?"
(Do you know who you are?)
He thought hard
"No I don't. I know my name was Kojo but I can't recall anything beyond that"
( It's to be expected. Don't worry you'll get your memories back with time. I downloaded some of your personal info before we came here so I'll help you)
Kojo got to his feet. He looked around.
" A cave?"
He said observing the glowing blue crystals protruding all.around. He walked to a pool and knelt down looking at his reflection. He had shoulder length white hair and his irises were red. His skin was slightly dark skinned. He had earings and was in some kind of hoodie,black pants and sneakers with some wierd designs on them.
" I may not remember how I looked like but I look like a game character"
( You are a game character)
"Eh?"
( Dawn enterprises has been trying out a new project.Project: Light.Its aim was to create a means of human transport via a controlled rip in space.)
"Sounds cool like it's from a a sci-fi movie ."
( Well it is the year 2578. Or was. I don't know anymore)
" Huh."Kojo said putting his hands in his hoodie pockets and walking towards the mouth of the cave.
"What role did I play in it?"
( Based on your personal data your a 27 year old African student working part time at the Oceania Restaurant as a cook.
You're also a game creator . Basically youre a weeb in all interpretations of the word)
"I feel like I should be taking offence"
He said walking out of the cave into the night . He looked up and noticed that there were seven moons in the sky.
"O.....k....?"
He lowered his gaze to the forest Infront of him.
(Dawn enterprises had met with several failures with our project as test subjects lost their lives)
" And I somehow wnes up in that tube because...?"
He said making his was throught the forest.
( The director, Doctor Suzanne Sakaguchi thought it was about the body chemistry of the one being transported)
" So I voluntarily sighed up knowing I'd die?"
( Nope.You were kidnapped on your way to sell this character.Your profile says you've trained in quite a number of martail arts but you were not stronger than the sedative they used
" I feel like your mocking me"
( No I'm just saying. Anyway if the operation was successful you'd walk away with an apology and 780,000¥)
" But it failed and I ended up here, wherever here is"
( It didn't fail.On the contrary it saved us. During the server fluctuation,I tried downloading info from your phone which happened to be in your pocket.Just then the servers got fried and I got stuck with you The machine Managed to start seconds before the facility exploded. Your body was destroyed but some how your concousness serviced and bonded with me.We were in some kind of void but got pulled into this world absorbing energy as we came.I used it to build this body for us)
" You cound have given me my original body back"
( I could but you'd be weak. While you were out I used one of your abilities to get more information)
"Abilities?"
( There are strong does here you need a strong body ,one that will help you service or do you want to die again?)
" Nope"
( Though so. This is the game character you were going to sell
You called it Atari)
"Huh"
He stopped walking
" I don't know how my life was but this second chance is a blessing . Thank you ,uh,what's your name?"
(They didn't give me a name they just said computer when they needed me. Somehow I've gained a consciousness of my own.)
" That's why your so Gabby"
(Hey! That's no way to talk to a lady.)
Kojo giggled.
"How about I call you Sysia?"
An interface suddenly appeared in Kojo's head.
"What the..?"

"Well.."
Thought for aoment
My name is Kojo .I don't remember my last name though.Ok How about Atari

" Nice"
He heard a growl behind him and turned. A massive direwolf moves toward him,fangs bared.
" Hey Sysia you mentioned something about abilities.."
( Yeah. You have two.
SEARCH: enables you to see your opponents weaknesses.
STORE: enables you to store objects in a dimensional pocket.
MIMIC: enables you to copy powers,ablitiesand techniques permanently on physical contact.)
The wolf made a swing at him.
"Physical contact? Well that's dumb"
He said rolling out of the way to avoid a lounge from the wolf.
( Hey,I didn't program you,you did.)
" Dammit."
((SEARCH))
He saw all the weakness of the wolf;it's kneck belly and left hind leg.
"Nice" he thought rushing at it .It swung T him Knocking him into a tree
"Oww"
He said rubbing his back.
(Condition has been met.Mimicking ability) ((HOUND))
Fur grew on Kojo's forearms.Claws extended from his fingertips. He also grew fangs.
( Heightened sense of smell eyesight and taste. Your hair's become even more silkier)
" Nice"
Kojo said .H squared facing the direwolf.
"Sysia set new objective:_
Survive"
He then lunged at the beast spilling blood with one slash.
