Kai almost forced down the wine in Jon Arryn’s mouth.
His encounter with Simon had left him with less than a minute, and seconds were notoriously faster than minutes when one needed to haste. Kai held the old man with one hand, opening the low hatch serving as the entrance with the other.
10 9 8 7…
“Well met, my lord,” Kai said, hissing the last words in Jon Arryn’s ear.
3 2…
He flung the old man up like throwing a stone. The sound of Jon Arryn’s frail figure striking the ground had just entered Kai’s ears when the mission finally ended.

The world stagnated. Kai could feel it in his bones. He could also tell he was not a part of this world, even though he was standing in it. A blue shine covered him, slowly at first, then it gave out a blinding flash.
Kai disappeared.
Outside the sewers, Jon Arryn fumbled to his feet. It was high noon, with guards patrolling like bees, and in the open area, the Hand looked like a dying rotten rat standing upright. Not a sight everyone wanted to look at, and not a sight anyone could miss.
“Who’s there?” a tall, white-cloaked knight demanded. His helm was in his hand, and his face was of an old man. But he looked strong, incredibly strong. There was a power in his every stride, like an old elephant, charging among the young stallions.
He was Ser Barristan the bold.
Jon Arryn looked at him and smiled. Finally, finally, he was at home. He took a step towards the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, but then his entire body stiffened. It was like he was becoming a block of ice from the inside out. There was horror on Jon Arryn’s face, realizing what was happening.
Ser Barristan saw that horror more clearly. More guards had come out, rushing towards Jon Arryn in their red cloaks and gold cloaks, each trying to outdo the other.
Too late.
The old knight held Jon Arryn’s hand and felt the rocky stiffness. Jon Arryn’s lips parted, letting out the last breath. Duty. Honor. Hate. All became the source of an unimaginable strength for him, and he said, “The seed is strong.”
Jon Arryn’s tale ended there.

Kai materialized into the White Room.
He was naked, obviously, and all tiredness had vanished out of him. There was an anxiousness in Kai’s heart, thinking if he had succeeded or not.
The notification appeared then.

WONDERFUL!
MAGNIFICENTLY DONE!!!

What the? Kai gaped at those words. He could almost imagine a man shouting out his lungs, his arms outstretched, beaming and roaring. The ecstasy in this notification wasn’t unreal, he could tell.
The notification continued.

A long list exchanged the previous words.

Kai took a deep breath.
He felt the taste of victory and power in his mouth. Sweet. Savory. Kai liked this feeling of being rich. But he also knew what would follow this flux of rewards.
Judgment!

This was a huge increment from last time, Kai knew. He had got only 1 Worth Point after his Initiation Mission. He still wasn’t sure what benefit his highest Stat would bring him, so Kai decided to clear this doubt as well.
But first, he would assign the Attribute Points.
Kai had been thinking about it for the last few days. With his Intelligence soured up by 3 points already, and the experience of his last mission, Kai knew exactly what he needed. There was no point in wasting Mission Credits when he could use them for important questions.
“Assign 2 Points to my Stamina,” Kai commanded. “And 1 each to my Strength, Perception, and Intelligence.”
This will help me stabilize the discrepancy between my Stats, Kai thought, completely ignoring the Breath. I will concentrate on close fighting and Mana based Skills for now.
[
Very well.
It isn’t what Chaos would have recommended, though.
]
Damn! Kai cursed, but he didn’t change his choice. Fucker playing with me.
“Bring up my Stats,” Kai said, controlling his emotions.

Kai stared at the long list. It felt good seeing the result of the risks so openly. His Filth Manipulation proficiency had also risen by another 2%. Losing a Pokeball and a saber pained him, but Kai wouldn’t mourn them more than he already had.
There’s always a next time, he thought. I must focus on the things that I have gained instead. Now…
Now was the time to get some answers.
