The Bodyguard System

[Congratulations to the host for completing his mission as a bodyguard. You have managed to ensure the safety of your client, and helping them in clearing out a hideout of the mercenaries.]

No sooner had Jaden composed himself upon hearing the prompt from the system, another series of prompts appeared in front of him.

[The rewards have been calculated. You have received advanced combat skills, and an awakening pill.]

[The advanced level combat skills will include both unarmed fighting skills, together with the use of hot weapons. All the types of weapons are included, but the mastery of the weapons is not at the highest level possible.]

[Awakening pill: This is a pill that can be used to awaken the genetic attributes of a human. Upon awakening the genetic attributes within a human body, one would be able to gain an ability that is beyond ordinary humans.]

Jaden was silent, going through the information about the rewards that he had received. Even though he had managed to save John three consecutive times, but the rewards that he had received from the system were only two.

Of course, Jaden would not complain. At the end of it all, it was not as easy if he had actually been an ordinary bodyguard without the system, even if he completed this, he would obviously not be rewarded by what he had received.

Just as Jaden was starting to think about this, an incredible amount of information suddenly surged in his mind. It was all about combat skills.

Previously, the last time that he had received combat skills from the system was when he was still a bodyguard in the Johnson residence. At that time, he received up to the intermediate level combat skills.

The Intermediate level combat skills did not have any increase in the skills and knowledge about the usage of guns and other weapons.

But this time, when Jaden began integrating with the information that was dumped in his mind, he realized that it was just as the system had claimed.

It was detailed Information about types of weapons, including hand arms, even vehicles such as tankers, fighter jets and even fighter helicopters.

The only thing that Jaden felt that it was a pity was that he had already gone through the information about these. It could be said that other than practical experience, Jaden was well versed in these weapons.

But that was a fleeting thought. The moments that Jaden dived deeper into the information that he had received, it was then that he suddenly realized that he had received way more than the AI had acquired.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The AI had only acquired the information that was available. But the one that he had received from the system was way above that. The skills that had not been recorded, were included.

And other than that, muscle memory was included, making sure that Jaden was very familiar with every weapon or fighter vehicle. At this point, a person could say that Jaden was a veteran fighter, a soldier of a high caliber.

But there was something else that Jaden noted. That was the fact that the system had claimed that this was not the top level of skills for the weapons. Instead, it seemed that there was a higher level than this.

But obviously, Jaden was not interested in this. At the end of it all, even though it was an amazing reward, it was not as amazing as the last reward that he had received.

The Awakening pill. That was something that could be used to awaken the attributes of a person's genes. Jaden would not help but wonder if it was possible that by using the awakening pill, he would be like a mutant.

After all, he could clearly remember that during the time that he had watched the video that his mother had left for him, she had clearly stated that the research that they were dealing with was involved with genetics.

They believed that they could activate the genes, enhancing the capability of a human being. But, until this day, Jaden was not sure about it.

Of course, he had already met with Scott, who was a person that possessed an ability that was not something that an ordinary person would. Jaden tended to believe that there was a possibility that Scott was a mutant.

It was also at this point that Jaden could not help but think, was there a possibility that Scott was one of those people that had been involved in the research by his parents?

After all, his mother had said that some of them had survived, but others had not. Maybe Scott was one of those people that had managed to survive, and other than just surviving, he had even gone ahead and gained abilities that belonged to a superhuman.

After thinking for a while, Jaden decided not to think much about it. He would just have to ask Scott the next time that they met. At that time, he would be able to dispel his doubts. As for the time that they would meet next, Jaden was not sure about it.

Jaden immediately decided to go back to his new home. He would have to think further about this awakening pill when he got there.

The moment that he thought about that, Jaden immediately drove away. And in just a matter of a few minutes, he got home, considering that it was not far away from the Robert residence.

Jaden immediately headed straight to the bathroom. Having the experience from checking the physique enhancing pills, Jaden was quite prepared. This was just in case he was going to experience the fluctuations in his body temperature and so on.

After he got into the bathroom, Jaden immediately communicated with the system, to inquire about much more details about the awakening pill.

'System, are there any side effects that can be encountered if I take this pill? Maybe I'm going to be unconscious for a certain period of time, or I'm going to be paralyzed and so on?' Jaden asked.

Currently, he was a bodyguard. So, in case he ended up being paralyzed, and John wanted to leave the Roberts residence, things would get a little more complicated.

Things would get worse in case John ended up being injured, or even worse, being killed. If he was killed, then things would be extremely complicated, and there was a great possibility that Jaden would lose the system.

So, Jaden had to be prepared. At least, he had to be sure that John would not be involved in anything risky, and additionally, he had to be sure about the movements of the Bloodhound mercenary group.

[The host can rest easy. The moment that they host takes the awakening pill, it will only take 30 minutes until the consumption of the medicinal effects of the pill. Additionally, the activation of the genes will occur within those 30 minutes.]

Jaden was immediately relieved upon hearing that. Even though the system had not given him a definite response about any side effects that might be involved upon taking the pill, it was good that it was only going to take 30 minutes.

But then again, Jaden thought of something. So, he immediately asked, 'System, are they going to be any unusual phenomena that will occur during the awakening process?'

Jaden was afraid that something like the one during the time that he had taken the physique enhancing pill would happen. Back then, he had lost control of his own body, finding it difficult to be able to control the strength within his body.

He had almost destroyed an entire building, which was something that would have caused a big commotion. And if people had found out that he was the one that was responsible for it, things would obviously get out of hand.

And more than that, Jaden might have ended up killing some innocent people. After all, a story building collapsing was not something small.

Even though it was true that currently, he did not have to worry that much about people, considering that in his villa, he was the only one. But still, he did not want to go ahead and start looking for another place to live.

Additionally, if this building ended up collapsing, it was clear that it was going to cause a commotion. And considering that this was a first tier city, investigation was obviously going to be launched, especially considering that it was only this building that was going to be affected.

But when Jaden thought about it, there was actually a possibility that other buildings in the surrounding areas might be affected as well. At the end of it all, it was not as if Jaden could predict what would happen, especially considering that it was a matter concerning genetics and superpowers.

[There will be no supernatural events that will happen. Everything will be extremely calm, except within the host's body where the changes will be happening.]

That was a relief for Jaden. At least, he would not have to worry about finding a secluded place in order to take the pill. He could do it here, considering that it would not attract the attention of the people around.

Now that everything was set, Jaden took off all of his clothes. This was just in case something like sweating too much would happen. And considering that it was something that was supposed to do involve supernatural abilities, maybe even his body might expand, tearing the clothes for nothing.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Jaden went ahead and took the pill. The pill was white in color, and the size of an ordinary pea. The moment that Jaden took the pill, changes suddenly erupted within his body.
