John looked at the Kyber Crystal in his inventory. He pulled it out and took off his helmet, laying it on his table. "I know I've watched something on how Kyber Crystals get corrupted but..." he laid the Crystal down. "...I have no idea how to channel my will."

John continued looking at the Crystal for a few minutes before sighing, putting it back in his inventory and putting on his helmet. "I'll figure it out later."

[Droid Factory construction complete.]

[2,000 gold from Mr. Bonaparte... Current debt: 4,000 gold coins]

John looked at the notifications before going down the tower and walking inside. "Dex, come with me." Dex heard him since he was just a few feet away, and he quickly followed John. He led Dex down into the droid factory. There were five slots for blueprints to be placed into it, but it needed to be manually operated until they could get a droid to run it. "Do you think someone could run this place properly?"

Dex looked at him. "Sir, with all do respect, I think it wouldn't be smart having someone we can't trust run it. I would also like to ask, why are you making droids?"

John turned to look at Dex."I can't make clones yet, Dex. You and the other three are lucky to be here first. This will be a cheap alternative until we can get your facilities up and running, understand?"

Dex looked down and back up at John. "Yes, sir. I believe that the man named Hosea is trustworthy enough to run this facility. If you have a manual or something..."

"Just show him he needs to hit this red buŧŧon to activate the production of droids. I'm putting in the blueprint for commando droids right now." John walked over to one of the slots and placed in the blueprint., which sunk into the slot, locking it in. "We'll begin production of B-2 super battle droids later."

"I'll get Hosea immediately, sir."

"Excuse me, General." Indigo ran up to him and saluted.

"Yes?"

"The man who soiled himself at the gates of the capital city is here to speak with you. He's alone."

John motioned for Indigo to bring the man to him. "Make sure to tell Fix and Jinx to scout out the area to make sure no one is with him."

As Indigo went to get the man, John took out the Kyber Crystal and put it into his lightsaber hilt.

'I hope I can use this even if it's not corrupt.' He activated it and the green blade came out of the hilt, to which John sighed in relief. He retracted the blade and put the hilt on his waist.

Indigo walked up behind John with the knight. "Sir, his name is Christopher Wells. He says he's come to you for help."

John turned around with his arms folded. "Help? Why would you come to a man you wanted to arrest for help?"

Christopher took a deep breath. "It's because I want to save my sister."

"Your sister?"

The wind blew, kicking up some of the dirt on the ground. "Yes, she's been taken by a noble, and I'm afraid he's already corrupted her, but..." he clutched his fist. "...if I could just get her back..."

John looked at the man. "Your more of a boy than a man, how old are you?"

"14."

John thought about it for a second. "Indigo, tell Dex to have Hosea make commando droids over the next few weeks. We'll help you out, Christopher, but I need to hear you and your sister swear your absolute loyalty to me."

Christopher looked at Indigo. "That means bow down, kid."

Christopher swallowed and bowed down. "I will be absolutely loyal to you, as will my sister."

John nodded. "Good, Christopher. Train with this knife until we leave in a few weeks. I've got something I need to do."

Job. Threw him the vibroknife and walked to the tower, turning to look at Indigo. "Make sure no one disturbs me."

"Of course, General."

He locked the door and took off his cloak and helmet. "System, how are my clothes not dirty, and why don't I smell bad?"

[Perks of the system...]

"Okay..."

[Main Quest Started: Path of Power; Make your Kyber Crystal bleed by overwhelming it with your will.]

[Reward: 1x Free Build, 2,000 Experience, 10,000 gold]

John, seeing this screen, remembered that he can now use force lighting. "I'll use that when we go to the city. I wonder what color it'll be?" He pulled out the Crystal and sat down in the middle of the room.

John spent the next few weeks in isolation trying to corrupt his Crystal, with only Fix bringing him food and water every two days.

Finally, by the time three weeks had passed, he did it.

John stood up as he raised the bleeding crystal into the air with the force. "Now we can go. System, my debts cleared now, right?"

[Rewards: 1x Free Build, 2,000 Experience, 10,000 gold]

[Debt cleared by money from Mr. Bonaparte. Current amount of gold: 12,000.]

[Level up: Level 16]

[Experience to Next Level: 1,200/1,600]

John put his 3 attribute points into his Dexterity and Endurance, raising the former to 14 and the latter to 13.

"System, what skills can I unlock?"
