*Figuring everything out (I)*

"Ding dong...."

I heard the door bell ring, so I tried to stand up to go and answer it. As I tried to get up I still felt a strong and sharp pain in my head.

I struggled but was finally able to get up, I stumbled and then supported my self and walked to the door. The entire house was dark because all the lights were shut off but I could still see clearly.

"Who is it?" I asked as I got to the door "It's Julie open up" I opened the door slightly reveling only my face and saw her standing at the front door

"What happened to you, I haven't heard anything from you in over four weeks, I've been worried sick and why the hell haven't you been picking up my calls?" she said at once "I lost my phone" I said to her

"That doesn't mean that you won't reach out to me and I haven't seen you show up at school, you didn't even come to my place to check out how I was doing, you're just been... " she continued talking and I couldn't take it anymore "My mum was murdered" I said

And she paused and looked at me "What? how? what happened?" she asked "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" I answered

"I can stay with you if you want" she said "Don't worry about it, just give me some space" I said and slammed the door shut.

I was dead confused and frustrated, I could balance any of my feelings in my mind. But one thing that was a clear a day was that I was no longer the same.

And it was all because of those three heroes Starshard, Phoenix and Nova striker, and whoever the boss they spoke of was.

Over the next few days I started to study everything about this cyborg thing. Luckily mum's research work was backed up in my system so it was easier.

I had an overlay digital information in my vision, and everything I could see was behind this blue like screen. I could analyze objects, people and anything that was in my field of vision.

I was ten times as strong as I used to be, I had access to everything on the internet, but one thing was that my system was still held back and it was because my body and mind weren't strong enough to support the system and I guess that was why it failed at first.

So I was spent time exercises my body and also doing metal exercises, increasing my stats so that I could use my system to it's fullest

"System show current stats" I said out as I lay down on my bed

"Host is still not strong enough for system to resume full function"

This was taking longer than I thought, and I needed to go back to school soon. Before my mum died I studied at the University of Neotropolis, college of science and technology, and I had already been absent for over two months, I planned to resume classes next week. But before that, I thought I should dive into some research.

I was laying on the bed living in my own world when I heard the door bell ring.

"Ding dong....!"

I quickly grabbed a jacket and put on some gloves then I went to the door and opened it, then I saw a man standing outside. "Good day" the man said "How can I help you?" I asked. "I don't know if you are aware but the owners of this house are deceased and it's now been repossessed" he said. "What do you mean by that?" I asked "It means you can't stay here. I don't know what relationship you have with the former owners but if you don't have the documents that show your possession of this house then you'll have to move out in the next 48 hours" he replied

I guess I forgot I was supposedly dead, so the hero arganisation are repossessing the house to get rid of any suspicion. "Alright I'll be out by tomorrow" I replied "Okay" he said and left

I had no idea what I was going to do or where I was going to stay. I couldn't possibly continue hiding forever and I don't think anyone was going to let someone looking like what I looked like staying in their house.

I had no other choice I was going to 'The Grim Tower'
