Incarnate

The story Incarnate, or Jump-Strike: Incarnate, is one of the weirdest novels in the Jump-Strike. It focuses on Vertex City, North Carolina and revolves around Cassius. It also explains Brian before

Story
Incarnate starts off by Cassius defeating and sealing a Beast of Sin in Hell. The Beast of Sin is an Avarice. He then calls himself the 'one and only portal to Hell'. (He's actually not)

Cassius then meets with Natalia. They talk about Vertex, then Natalia brings up a recent murder on Francis Boulevard. Cassius then drives there to feel an abnormal feeling from the building. He heard screams from upstairs, and rushed to see what it was.

To his dismay, it was the city's infamous killer Austin Vor. He's cutting a girl to death. Cassius notices an abundance of greed from Austin. Cassius spreads gasoline around Austin, as Austin then taunts how his power is weak. Cassius says that the way you use your power determines how powerful it is, then he sets the house on fire. It appears that Austin is burned alive in the house.

Cassius drops from the house, holding the girl that was cut by Austin. Austin is then revealed to be an artificial human who's completed his power. He now has Complete Gravikinesis. A car tries to hit Cassius and the girl, but is stopped by Austin. Brian comes in suddenly, sending Austin into Hell. They both walk away, but the Avarice that was inside Austin's soul is then moved inside Brian.

Trivia

 * Incarnate was originally gonna be a different series. That's why it doesn't really feel like Jump-Strike. However, Jokese decided to make it part of Jump-Strike due to feeling it could add another look on Jump-Strike as a whole. He also thought this'd be a pretty cool backstory tribute to Brian.
