WARNING, CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM BOOK ONE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Story of Kevin: The story so far…
In case you're picking this up for the first time and are too lazy to go find out what happened to me and my group when we were on the world of Midas, I leave this message here so those of you who don't want to go back can keep up.
My name is Kevin Tanner, and eight short months ago I was a normal person. I went to school, got grades, looked at colleges, played video games, and had a job working with computers. It was a good life, I wasn't depressed and had good friends and family, which is an unusual circumstance for what I became. It all changed one day when one of my friends discovered a news article showing a picture of a seventeen year old boy with wings and feathers for hair, and the five of us had decided to solve the mystery for kicks, since he had disappeared the next day.
That night I had a strange dream, and I unknowingly became a World Jumper, a person who is able to travel the multiverse to different worlds. I ended up in the world of Midas, or probably better known as C – Control, the Money of Soul and Possibility. There I met Miyoko, my asset and friend as we battled against a man named Hisaki, who would also become a good friend and partner. Over the next eight months we slowly tried to crack the mystery of the Winged Teenager and how I could jump to another world to find him. (Since I honestly had no idea of how I did it the first time!)
For roughly seven to eight months things went smoothly, and I became one of the most powerful and richest Entre's in the district, and then a man named Evander tried to kidnap me. Turns out he was a Jumper too, and he knew the name of the winged teen, Nick. The man was obsessed with tracking all the Jumpers down and killing them off one by one. Around the same time I also learned that I was on the clock, as the event known as C, which can obliterate entire countries from the worlds history, was coming just like it had in the anime back home.
In a last ditch effort to find Nick, Hisaki and I were cornered by Evander, and Hisaki was banished after going bankrupt. It was then when I bought Sylva, another asset with the unique power to see the future both inside and outside of deals, and she was essentially a six year old girl upset over losing her former Entre, who she saw as a father figure. It was also then when I met Nick and his asset Dawn. They were crazy, not as badass as I had originally thought, and downright probably the most random and silly duo I'd ever met. On top of that they didn't even know where the seal (the symbol, crest, whatever that allows Jumpers to travel from world to world) that we needed to find in order to escape!
So when it came down to crunch time, I managed to figure it out while helping Sylva out with her emotional problems, (because who WOULDN'T be emotional after losing your partner and brotherly figure) the seal was Masakaki, the manager of the Financial District. As Nick and I prepared to get out I got chewed out by Kimimaro Yoga - an Entre who was determined to save the future - for not doing anything about saving the future, which yes did weigh on me a little, but wasn't what kept me from going. Evander and a strange man named Aleksandr showed up at the same time and basically threatened the existence of Midas by stopping the event that was going to save it with or without Jumper intervention. The final battle, a three on three battle, showed the best and worst in all of our fighting skills, but ended without a winner. The district was under a market collapse, (basically ran out of money, which is what we needed to fight with.) and the contest couldn't be concluded. Kimimaro reversed the damage to his homeland, and as he and his asset Msyu prepared to part ways, I decided that I had seen one too many sad endings from watching anime, and dragged the both of them along with the five of us as we went to the worlds Guardian, Midas.
After defeating him and getting along our merry way, he explained the basic purpose of the Jumpers and told me that I had to save the multiverse. Cliché much? Then – and here's the REAL kicker – he told Kimimaro that his father was alive somewhere in the multiverse. Then he sent us to the world of Remnant, and the start of the next chapter in our jumping adventure!
Seriously Midas is a total (Insert list of curses here.)
