On Ep. 1...
Atwood landed on the sidewalk of his neighborhood. He thought he dreamt the whole thing with being abducted and experimented on before looking down at his right leg. It was sporting a bulky rectangular bracelet with the same technology all over the walls of his room.
Atwood: "Maoooh! That whole thing was real. You gotta be kidding me."
Then, the device buzzed.
Atwood: "Oh, that feels weird."
Com Wristlet (Shot out a holographic screen): "Hello...Atwood Zyairlea... You had been selected to partake in an experiment to further reality-altering technology. Right now, you possess a Chosen Metier, the knowledge that was forced into your primitive skull, and you can take on three forms currently: Attack, Defense, and Support. All of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, but in the end, it is all up to your imagination. These will be your main tools to survive your journey across many worlds like others before and after you."
Atwood: "Before...you mean there are more people than me?"
Com Wristlet: "You can only use each mode once until your reset time of ...5:27 P.M.... every day. So don't use them all at once. You don't want to be powerless in unknown territories."
Atwood: "Sure, ignore me."
Com Wristlet: "To increase your chances of survival and becoming strong, this device is equipped with an Experience to Power System (EPS). It records and measures the quality of your actions, thoughts, and people's reactions. When you have gathered enough experience, you will Level Up and receive a jolt of pure energy that targets the pleasure center of your brain. With enough Levels, you can gain new modes."
Atwood: "I don't think shoveling energy into a human's brain is safe."
Com Wristlet: "On our records, you are the Metier Modder of The Concept...Ridificci..."
Atwood: "What in the world is Ridi..."
Atwood received flashes of information on this subject. Ridificci is the concept that reality, when altered by an unnatural force, will repair its metaphysical aspects by literally conceptualizing physical materials to use to mend. The flashes ended.
Atwood: "Oh."
Com Wristlet: "There is a special message for Metier Modder of this concept. Please stand by..."
The Screen showed a young man in a strange getup.
????: "Hello, my name is Pagani."
Pagani: "I am guessing you are The Metier Modder of Ridificci now, just like me. But since I should be back in my own universe by now, The "Only One" Rule no longer applies. Sorry, but I picked you randomly. I needed a way home, and these guys were willing to help."
Atwood: "He picked me...At Random!"
Pagani: "All I needed to do was tell them the origin of my powers, and they would take me back. They also wanted me to participate in their new Metier Modders since my skill was based on my innate knowledge of Ridificci. Still, I convinced them that my version of a Chosen Metier was different from what they were going to make. Now, I know you might be angry at me. Sorry again."
The message ended.
Atwood: "I am going to pound that jacka..."
Com Wristlet: "Atwood Zyairlea...you have one hour before your first trip."
The Com Wristlet turned off. Atwood decided to spend his last hour with his parents at the cemetery. It took him about 50 minutes to get there as he stood near their graves.
Atwood: "Mom. Dad. It's me, Atty. Look...I might be gone for a while. I don't know when I am coming back. So, I want to say goodbye, and I love you. Pray for me to have strength and courage and..."
The Com Wristlet buzzed.
Atty: "No, wait! I am not done yet."
Atty was dragged into a rift through time and space with tears in his eyes.
