Chapter 14 - A Chosen Path
[OBJECTIVE UPDATED: Chosen path]
[As the heir of the Bullet throne you have the choice to help humankind to defeat the monsters of the void as specified by the Ultima Change.]
[Will you join the Task Force Bureau of Defense or will you go along and create your own? It will depend on you]
``I guess the Blood bullet is still giving me some information about what is happening glad to know, Now I want to-``
"Uhh excuse me?" Jin looked at the man that was standing in front of him with a with military uniform.
That uniform was not that decorated yet and it has a rank on its sleeves. The man looked at Jin and with a rough voice said "Sir please come with me." Jin looked confused and asked "What for? Did I do something bad?" Jin was as of the moment a bit distant from the man that is wearing a uniform.
"Please Sir, come with me we are from the Task Force Bureau of Defense" And when the man said those words Jin nodded. And followed the man as the man turns around and walks towards one of the tents that was beside the first tent that Jin entered to.
And when Jin entered the tent. He also saw a couple of White and Black uniforms loitering around. All of them looked at Jin who wearing a different uniform and has a different kind of weapon from the rest of them. Some of them recognize assigned weapons and those with long rifles are called marksman who are long-range damage dealers. Another class compared to an archer.
And as they walk inside the tent it was also connected to a building. Jin followed the uniform man inside the sliding door. And as they enter Jin saw the reception counter. But before that Jin was then meet by the officer from earlier Captain.
Bai Meng. "Hello! Greetings and welcome! I am Captain. Bai Meng" The captain offered his hand to handshake Jin. So Jin let out his hand for a handshake. After that handshake, the captain said "Please follow me to my office Sir"
Jin then continues to follow the captain in his office and when they entered the office. Jin then asked "How can I help you with Sir?" after Jin asked that question the Captain turns around and said
"We are in need of people at the moment and even though the recruitment is getting better we still need good people in our platoons-"
And Jin quickly replied "Please cut to the chase of this conversation Sir" and the captain replied. "I guess you are not that kind of person to have a long lengthy type of conversation. Well, Mr. I would like you to join the 7th Player Corp and one of the fighting players that our country needs to protect the citizens of the country."
"But with this I still need training?" Jin questioned the Captain. "What I know the systems that were being used by the players are mostly don't need training as the system. Is guiding the player am I right?" The captain rebuts the question of Jin.
And then Jin whispered "Life Line Blue bullet" and everything the way of speaking of the captain change in a different tone. And suddenly the captain sat on the chair and looked at Jin. "When you entered the Safe Zone Delta someone has already reported you.
And from there we have looked into good care of your information and from what we have found is that you are currently one of the best in playing Mythical realms and one of the top students in Akushu Technological Academy." The captain was like saying all of the truth from his words. Meanwhile, Jin stood there and listened to what the captain has to say.
[The Life-life Blue Bullet (Novice 1.0%)]
Jin notices that the Life-line is slowly subsiding. So Jin said, "I will think about it, Captain." And then the captain replied with a different way.
"To be honest why do we need to hire you it's just because that the higher ups need leaders to the platoons that will be assigned to the front-lines but if you are like that I think you are trash nonetheless."
[The effect of the LifeLine Blue Bullet have been diminished the person you are talking to will change the way he talks]
"Right, Sir Ru Jin Please we really need individuals who are tough and able to handle certain pressure. As I can see for myself that you are a natural-born leader." The Captain smiled as he was looking at Jin. Not remembering what he just said earlier.
Jin smiled back and then bowed to the captain and said "Please let me think about it. As my mother just died" The captain felt sadness when he heard that so he nodded and replied, "Please keep in touch with my people they will surely help you find me if you are ready to serve your country."
Jin smiled back and turns around leaving the office and walking out of the hallway down to the entrance of the building. ``How pathetic even in times of need these people are still making other people work for them and still discriminate them. Tch-``
Jin really read all of the things that the captain has planned in mind in using people like Jin to be able to succeed in their works. Jin then heads to one of the refugee camp tents and tried to find a place to rest for a while before coming back to the office where he makes a request to cremate his mother.
"Open market" then a blue tab appeared in front of Jin and with the tab, there are many types of equipment in each slot, and on the left side of the large tab, there are certain specifications such as weapons, armor, and potions. Jin looked at his balance and when he saw his balance he was shocked to see 5,000.
``What the- How did I have such money deposited in this wait… Is it because I am an Heir to the bullet is this a bonus… But I don't think so that this is possible.``
"Inventory armory appears" and when Jin said that another Blue tab appeared in front of him and in that Blue tab it slots where his equipment are equipped and there he saw the equipment he has to equip and one of those is XDR-rifle. Jin taps the slot of the XDR-rifle and the specification of the XDR-rifle shown.
[XDR-Rifle]

``mhm, the specification is good enough to be able to kill enemies within sight`` "Open inventory" another blue tab appeared in front of Jin "Mhm, I still have 28 magazines for the XDR-Rifle and I also have 10 more magazines for the SEGO pistol. What should I buy in the market then, Should I go hunt first some monster that can give me some loot or money. Maybe I should do that``
Jin closed all the tabs and then slowly closed his eyes and have a rest hour for himself.
Jin woke up with crusted eyes, "ah what time is it?" he looked at his watch that was on his hand. "Oh, it's 7:30 in the morning. I really have slept more than 7 hours that is new" Jin gets up and heads to one of the cubicles that were meant for men. He did his morning routine but as he looked at the mirror in front of him he saw a different side of him.
A slowly maturing Jin, Jin finished all of the things for his morning routine and heads to the cremate office and as he entered the office he saw the old man once again.
"Hello Sir," Jin said as he opened the door. And the old man replied "Pay me and take this vase this is your mother" Jin's eyes were filling with tears but he kept it in. He walked towards the table and then pays the old man for the cremation fee.
After that Jin placed the vase in one of the places where the vases for ashes of the dead were placed. ``I need to get stronger for this different change that is coming in this world a change that will surely change the views of many.``
Jin slings his XDR-Rifle and holds it tightly as if he was protecting his dearest. Jin walked towards the gate of the Safe Zone Delta. Beyond the gate of the Safe Zone, it will be different world monsters and different beasts that have been still roaming around the cities. And Jin will face it alone.
Jin was halted by one of the armed soldiers. "Are you sure you are going outside of the Safe Zone? You know there are only 9 located Safe Zone in the whole Region right?" Jin nodded as he has heard from the news that in other cities there are no Safe Zones.
And the military forces are still fighting monsters on a daily basis that is why the Task Force that was tasked to eliminate the monsters are still preparing.. Until then the country is in disarray, but there are many stories such as guild/groups that are being formed among people outside of the Safe Zone, and those are called the Red Zones areas.
