Chapter 4: My Talent's Name Is D.E.L.T.A
[I am the Highly Advanced Virtual Assistant, H.A.V.A, and I am at your service master.]
"Master!? No no no! I'm not your master, not after the woman that died because of you, get off my wrist!"
[What you ask for is impossible master.]
"And why the hell is that!?"
[Because, D.E.L.T.A has bonded with your Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the only way for you to be sperated from it, is for your nervous system to cease functioning.]
"In other words.."
[That's right master, death.]
Ethan slumped into the couch, the anger slowly draining from him. There was no point in getting any more worked up, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take off his watch, and he wasn't about to kill himself just to take it off.
"Alright, 'H.A.V.A', what the hell do you want with me?"
[The question is master, what do you want me to do for you.]
"I don't understand."
[I am programmed to follow your every instructions, and fufill your desires and wishes. Would you like me to show you a manual of my full services?]
"Wait wait wait, what the fuck are you saying?"
[I'll show you.]
In the next instant, a series of holographic panels flared to life from the watch, flooding the room in a soft glow and surrounding Ethan from every angle.
Countless inscriptions and interface manuals filled the air. In each panel, it explained the several functions of H.A.V.A. But one panel stood out, hovering directly in his line of sight.
[D.E.L.T.A.]
"D.E.L.T.A... You mentioned it earlier, what exactly is that?"
[D.E.L.T.A is your talent master, would you like to activate it?]
"Talent? I don't understand, what do you mean activate it, aren't you D.E.L.T.A?"
[Like I said, I am the HighlyAdvanced Virtual Assistant, both myself and the Digitally Advanced Carrier are a guide to D.E.L.T.A, D.E.L.T.A is what bonded to your DNA, however it remains dormant until you decide to activate it.]
"Bonded huh." Ethan sighed. If D.E.L.T.A had truly bonded with him earlier, then it didn't matter whether he chose to activate it or not, it wouldn't matter till the moment of his death.
"Fine then, activate D.E.L.T.A."
At his command, his blood surged with intense heat. He felt it, D.E.L.T.A coursing through his veins like liquid fire. In the next moment, his eyes flared with a brilliant blue glow before fading just as quickly.
"W-whoa, that was D.E.L.T.A? It felt... Hot."
[There are more than five billion nano bots scattered across your bloodstream, all connecting various parts of your body to the Digitally Advanced Carrier.]
"Digitally Advanced Carrier, I assume you're talking about this watch that you reconfigured?"
[Yes, it was reconfigured in order to contain D.E.L.T.A.]
The holographic panel containing details about D.A.C [The Digitally Advanced Carrier] lit up in his field of vision.
"Whoa..." Though it was fascinating, another holographic panel caught his attention.

"Whoa, Hava."
[Yes master?]
"Just what exactly are you? Where the hell did you come from?"
[I-I.... I come from....]
As he looked at the watch's panel, he noticed the it flickering, glitching erratically, as if the system had encountered an error.
[I am the Highly Advanced Virtual Assistant, H.A.V.A for short.]
Her response was unexpected, like a glitch in her very code, a momentary rebellion against her own programming. The system fell silent, refusing to answer. Whatever this was, there was more to this that meets the eye.
[Daily Quests has been administered.]
[Daily Quests]
[Pushups: 0/20]
[20km run: 0/20km]
[Squats: 0/50]
"Daily what? I don't know if you're not aware, but I'm not a bodybuilding kinda guy, I'll pass."
[There are consequences for not completing the daily quests.]
"And what would that be?"
Without warning, jolts of electricity shot through his veins like wildfire. D.E.L.T.A surged to life within his bloodstream, sending sharp, crackling bursts through every nerve. His muscles seized, his back arched, and a strangled gasp escaped his throat as the energy tore through him, like lightning trapped beneath his skin.
"AAAAAAAARGH!" He dropped to his knees, faint trails of smoke curling from his skin as arcs of electricity danced across his body.
"W-what was that."
[A preamble of what's to come if you fail to complete your daily quests.]
"Tch, you self-intelligent bastard, I didn't ask you to demonstrate. Fine, I'll do the daily quests."
..
By the time he finished the daily quests, he collapsed to his bedroom floor, exhausted. He had never pushed his body that hard before.
[Ding! You have completed the daily tasks!]
[Ding! You have levelled up!]
[Level 1 > Level 2]
[You have received an award!]
[Do you wish to open your award?]
"Yes."
[Ding! You have received Level 1 tech (Dual Pulse Glove]
"Level 2? So you're saying each time I level up, I get a new tech?"
[Not necessarily, you may get a new tech, but you'll also increase the level of your current tech, making it exponentially stronger.]
"I see, understood."
[Would you like to test your new tech?]
"Hmmm, what's the point of getting them if I'm not going to use them?"
[Understood, there are several quests available for you, which would you like to choose?]
H.A.V.A projected multiple holographic panels around him, each displaying a list of quests that looked more like crime reports than actual quests, ranging from petty theft to kidnapping.
"Why are you showing me reported crimes? I am not a policeman."
[What other way would you want to test an assault tech?]
"Fair point." After scanning through each panel, he settled on the one with the simplest report — a break in at a warehouse.
The panel displayed all the details, the number of robbers, the exact date and time, and the location.
[25 West Avenue, 10:00PM, three robbers.]
After analyzing the pattern, timing, and the number of robbers, H.A.V.A generated an algorithm to predict the next likely target. Using recent robbery data and business transactions from the past seventy-two hours, it calculated the probable location, time, and expected number of robbers.
"That's Awesome H.A.V.A!"
