Chapter 2

Wilson did come through for me. Gave me a good place to stay. Near the docks but the place wasn't too bad. It was quite a big house. He also gave me an advance for food and other things for the first month. He also got a fake ID here. Half of what he will pay me would go towards this place but I was fine with it.

The work was interesting. I got to see all the different things that companies here on the east coast buys overseas. And also saw a drug bust once. in my first week to work itself. It was not that interesting at the port side of things at least.

Also when I said illegal work, I had to do it every other day? It was easy in the description. Get a carton in the warehouse and give it to the guy standing outside. Seems easy. But what I did not consider was that gold was heavy. My god that carton weighed at least 60 kgs. I had to walk at least 300 meters with it in 5 minutes. It would break my back one day.

I researched the Brocton Bay's cape scene a bit. At the moment Marquis and Lustrum were both starting in the Brocton bay cape scene. They both triggered during Slaughterhouse 9 rampage, which happened a few weeks back. Slaughterhouse 9 which was still run by the King. I decided to keep my distance from them. I didn't know how my power would react to me getting new powers.

I know soon I would have to enter the cape scene. So I started my preparation for it. I went to a local clothing store to get a Good black denim hoodie jacket. Then I got a long piece of pure black cloth from a hobby shop to make a mask. It was a bad decision. I had to go there twice more to buy pieces of black cloth but they all ended up as a disaster. It gave me a new respect for tailors. What it didn't give me was an acceptable mask.

I then got an eye mask and a fedora. When I donned my new costume and looked in the mirror I couldn't get it off me fast enough. I wanted to look intimidating. Not a bargain bins cheap knock off the villain. Hmm. This needs thinking.

So I went and found an Asian tailor and got myself 3 ninja costumes with hoods. I got a blue mask. It was cool.

All I needed now was Finishing touches for the costume. I found a great blue open long jacket. The assembled looked good on me and I needed a logo. I made a circle and then a star that pierced the circle with its pointed sides.

It took a few days for me to learn embroidery. I embroidered my logo on the front of my jacket and mask. The assemble made me look good and I was very happy with it.

It has been 25 days since I came to this world. I decided that I was ready to now step out to experiment with my powers and gain experience in fighting.

I took my costume in a bag and went near an abandoned place near docks. I changed into my costume. I hid my clothes in the bag and hid it in an air vent. I started roaming the docks to find some easy target to give a power to check what happened. After a while, I found a sleeping homeless guy and decided to make him my guinea pig.

I decided to give him Protocols. A master effect where you can set yourself on autopilot to complete a specific task. A not so useful power except when you are fighting a human master.

The Power giving part was simple. I had guessed from the Initial documents and how normal power giving worked in Worm that the kingmaker power would be touch-based. I was wrong. I could give out power with sight too. Which was great.

Its effect seemed to be disappointing. He didn't react at all. I gained a copy of it too. It seemed like a simple programming interface. I could insert tasks and decision making. Also, I got my status effects too. What is my current heart rate. Blood pressure. Weird things too like the lactic acid build-up. Oh. It meant how tired I am. Hmmm. This seemed interesting. I wanted a trial. So I set up a task to run in circles for 2 miles. And started running. I knew for a fact that at the pace I was running, I should not have been able to run more than 100 yards. But I was still running.

After a while, I saw my Lactic acid build grow to 50% and decided to stop running. I had run for about a mile. 1821 yards to be exact. This means that Protocol power also had some kind of ruler. Because I do not think any human could have gotten the distance this exact.

I revoked the power from my guinea pig from where I was standing. Ok, so this is weird. There is still a small connection to him which will allow me to give out powers to him any time I want from anywhere. I also knew his general direction and distance. This would be a great help when I start my organization.

After this round of experiments, I decided that it was time to go home. I started jogging to the abandoned warehouse to get my clothes.
