It was terrifying. I was terrified!
Throughout this past 1 year, I had tried not to integrate myself too much into the politics but naturally, I wasn't able to. I was drawn into it without any choice and was forced to join my father's faction.
I began working with my sister Natalie in Lord Albert's secret ops. He had extended the invitation to me after the bloody graduation dinner.
I was reluctant initially to join Lord Albert's information unit as joining them meant swearing in an oath of loyalty and sacrificing my freedom and I was least willing to do that.
However, it was during this time I was taken to another visit to the game realm where I had the wildest idea and looked for something under consumables.
[Name- Oath Removal]
[Uses-1]
[Description-Allows the user to remove the bondage of one oath they swore.]
[Price-75 points]
At this point, I had gotten used to seeing all the crazy things that could be bought from the game realm. Heck one could even be a deity if one had enough points let alone removal of an oath.
Due to seeing this I readily joined the organisation in order to take advantage of all the information they had.
I was placed under my sister's covert unit and was given access to many of the classified information of certain levels in accordance with my rank after swearing oath to the organisation.
One thing I learned from all this was how unruly and unstable the current political thread of the empire is right now. And in the centre of it all, weaving everything was my step-brother John.
The more I knew about him the curious I became to the point I couldn't restrain myself and used some points to ask some questions about my brother in the K.I.
This became my worst mistake. "Why is everyone in the empire afraid of John Emberson?"
[Price-10 points]
I bought it and soon a screen with a message appeared. [Because John Emberson is capable of destroying the empire if he wishes.]
"WHAT!?!" I couldn't believe that. Father and the commandments wouldn't allow such a threat to stand by.
"How?"
[Price- 20 points] I didn't care about points at this point.
[Using his vast knowledge and intelligence to develop the plague and other similar things.]
There was only one plaque that I remembered that occurred during John's lifetime after which everyone in the court began treating him fearfully.
"Why would father and the commandments allow for him to live if that is the case?"
[Price- 1 point.]
Needless to say, I bought it.
[In their eyes he is mad and won't hesitate to do anything like destroying the empire one day if he is bored. So they are careful not to agitate him too much lest he does something crazy.
It won't be fun if he idles. So, I have fun by poking him and getting rid of his peace.]
"I have fun by poking him?" I was confused reading this. What did it mean by I have fun…
I felt fear grip my heart seeing the attention of the Fake One was on me.
It was terrifying. I was terrified!
I waited for a while, but nothing happened as I sighed in relief.
I quickly brought the necessary upgrades I needed before quickly leaving the game realm.

[Luke PoV- 1 week after acquiring award]
There were too many changes in the past that the future had become too unpredictable now.
Devices like the PCD and SAD were invented in the future, but it was a long time later and it wasn't even advanced as these.
I was even doubtful at this point if the 2nd imperial Prince Jack Emberson could even become the emperor as he had in his past life.
In a way, I hoped he wouldn't become the emperor which would initiate the devastating war between the holy countries and the empire.
Not long after he had become the emperor in my past life the holy countries realised what his award was and became absolutely terrified and decided to destroy the empire before the emperor grew stronger.
Because once he initiated the conquest no one will be able to stop him.
That was how powerful and terrifying his award was. The power of Luck.
The only reason the Empire was able to sustain and emerge constantly victorious under numerous combined assault of holy countries was that Emperor Jack used his luck on all his troops to successfully defend from the invasion numerous times.
To be honest, even though we had lower troops compared to the holy countries they were never able to inflict too much damage on the empire. In fact, it was the opposite always.
We inflicted numerous causality to them causing many of their troops to suffer.
I just hope his highness finds a way to get rid of his soulless condition and ascend as the emperor with his knowledge lest I have to go through the same bloody war again.
With his genius mind and capabilities, I felt even if all the holy countries were to challenge him they wouldn't even get a chance to resist.
My only comfort is that I had gained my award a lot sooner than I had expected allowing me to grow beyond my past limit. Especially with my knowledge of how to utilise my award I only need to practise for a while before I can quickly advance them.
Not only that his highness was truly a genius. He gave me ideas to utilise my award that I had never thought of. Especially his ideas of creating an increasing the response time in the nerves in my hand to move my hands faster using the electricity that was generated in my fists.
It was something truly dangerous which could fry the nerves in my hand if not for my insane healing capabilities.
*Yawn* I have recently become more tired. Must be due to practising way too much with my award.
----------------------------------------------------
[Ellis PoV- 1 week after acquiring award]
I had recently acquired the power of an award user and the sheer power from it was exhilarating.
I trained with my award as much as possible. His highness had offered Luke and me countless ideas and ways to apply our award.
Like for me, I had initially thought I could simply last longer in a fight with my fuel tank.
However, his highness suggested to me that I could essentially use the fuel tanks to practically double my speed and strength or if needed double the speed of my healing.
The only problem with being an award user was I couldn't rapidly gain strength as I had before with his highness' food. But at the same time talent wasn't a factor for award users accumulation, just how smart people were in thinking applications for their award and their everyday usage of it.
Due to this new power, I focused every day on training, not even going to the pub 'Drum and Flute' to learn about the tall muscular man who carried a large 2 handed sword on his back. I was too tired by the end of the day to even go.
*Yawn* I really need to stop practising so heavily.
I went to sleep.

[Ez PoV- 1 day after Ellis and Luke acquired award]
I had finally built the tool required to absorb principle particles from someone.
The only problem was I couldn't absorb principle particle from someone higher or lower rank than me. It had to be from someone in my same rank.
This was because of the 10 sections of the strand found in all award users. It seems the principle particle absorbed by an award user at each rank was different. For example, the principle particle absorbed by a rank 0 was vastly different from the principle particle absorbed by a rank 1 award user as it was filled in one of the 10 sections.
One could almost state that these were 2 different types of principle particles were made of different compositions. It was almost like if the rank 0 principle particle was square then the rank 1 principle particle was a triangle.
Due to this, I needed to absorb from people of my same rank, and I had the 2 perfect volunteers to absorb from. Especially when both of them were rapidly producing principle particles like there was no tomorrow.
The next day as both of them were practising in the research facilities training room I walked in holding a cube with random wires.
"Ellis, Luke. 1 minute please." I called out to them and both of them quickly came up to me.
"Don't take notice of what I am doing to you and carry on accumulating." I gave both of them an order as I attached the wires on their fingers. Both of them nodded and quickly began practising while random number began popping up on the screen.
'Bingo!' I screamed in excitement in my mind as I noticed the thread that formed between me and their soul shell. The command in that thread was 'Don't take notice of what I am doing to you and carry on accumulating.'
Due to them being equally as strong as me the command began taking effect on them much quicker.
Oh boy! I am loving this already.
"Okay, I have gathered enough data. Thanks, guys." I removed the wires and walked out calmly.
As night came in I added sleeping agent enough to knock them out for 1 hour.
I tapped my PCD and activated my nanobots which were to go into their room and draw their principle particles via the PPE- short for principle particle extractor.
10 minutes later my bots appeared before me holding a container which contained nothing the naked eye could see. I smiled at this as the nanobots transformed into a needle and stabbed directly into my heart, pumping in the principle particles.
I felt my accumulation increasing rapidly.
This became a daily occurrence in my life for the next few days.
Once they were asleep I would send my nanobots to collect the principle particles they had accumulated in their body every day.
With my guidance and their daily practice, I gathered more than enough principle particles from them every day.
I just needed to keep this up for 1 more week before I gather enough principle particles to increase my rank to rank 1.
God, I love taking advantage of the chosen ones of the world.
I even thought about to go and headhunt Lawson and Dean to quadruple my training time but decided against it.
Patience was the key for particle heist.
