Interesting.
Just please, be more inspired by tkioz than Vexmaster. Stargate: galactic empirium is creepy.

 

[Ryven Razgriz]

Already decided a first universe to visit? I'd suggest taking Origin-verse and finding a good place to build a base, then go on adventures. Also can Leah or rather you, can choose a universe to visit?

 

[edboy49]

Interesting intro.
Are you limiting yourself to tech universes or will you go to magic universes as well?

I'll be going to magic universes as well. No need to restrict myself

I can choose the universes I want to visit though I am blocked from my Origin verse

I have to agree with you about Vexmaster. Creepy and wasteful with technology.

Tkioz was foolish in rushing things at first and for some reason going to the worst universe to look for folllowers. You dont visit apocalypse universes to find loyal followers or citizens, EVER. You go for medieval or lesser universes and slowly help then up technologicaly so they become loyal to you.

the only problem with this is that it could take decades or centuries even to catch up in technology levels.

 

[magiclifer]

if i were to have the multi dimension ability i would first go to an advance setting scan all tech then go to say a 21st century like are's then become a tech god like steve jobs from there start a war in which my giant mechs take over the world with some bullshit propaganda

That's what finding and appropriating some Longevity technology is for.

Taking people from Post Apocalypse settings is just asking for disaster. Imagine all the backstabbing you are gonna suffer if you take people from Walking Dead or Fallout series? Not just backstabbing but they come already infected with horrible shit.

Of course going with some Brainwashing style technology is also bad because it just makes sycophants who will never dare say anything negative about you, so every time you make a mistake you are never told about it. Plus any diplomatic mission to new cultures is soured pretty fast when they noticed how fucked up everything is. Worse than Warhammer40k general bootlickery and asskissing and God Emperor brainwashingness or pretty much the same now that I think about it.

It's a good place to find specialists, but you can't base your whole population off them.

 

[Recycled_Content]

Tkioz in the beggining was bringing slaves from the roman empire, but they were too uneducated to be of much use and they were slow to learn to adapt. so he started bringing in people from other dimensions that were in horrible conditions that wouldn´t mind being under his rule. not a bad strategy per say, but he started relying too much on these people.

First off I'm not a native English speaker and this is my first story so please cut me some slack. This story has been heavily inspired by both "Cruel to be Kind" by tkioz and "Stargate: Galactic Imperium" by VexMaster

Life used to be so simple back then

April 22nd, 2016 – Earth

This all started with me (Jack Blackfire at your service) grinning as I stood on the cliffs of a small Portuguese beach, a forest residing behind him and the beach. 'I really need to come here more often' I thought as I looked at the beautiful sun while it set. The view was spectacular, well worth the day's travel I'd done; I was sure that other people would be kilometers away, at least for a few months til summer rolled around the corner, and back then that was just the way I wanted it. Every now and again I felt the need to get away from everyone and everything in order to not put my first through a wall, and the middle of winter was the perfect time to avoid the teenagers and couples, that normally infested the beach.

And I had decides to enjoying this trip to the max. This was the first time I had been there alone and as an 18 year old teen with college in the way it wasn't like I was going to be able to go there for a few years.



I unstrapped my backpack, it hitting the ground behind me with a thud, after that I opened my arms and closed my eyes as the wind passed through me.I stood there for a few minutes relishing in the feeling of the sun hit me and warming me up till I noticed that it was getting hotter and brighter by the second. "Oh shit!" I exclaimed, as it was flying right fucking at me!

I threw himself to the ground just as it flew over me, feeling the searing heat pass over my head and a second later there was an incredible boom as it impacted with the ground not 200 hundred meters away, dust and bits of trees flying every which way, and the ground lurching under me. I curled myself into a ball, my arms covering my head, trying to defend it from any life threatening blows.


After what seemed like an eternity calm returned the world and I unfurled himself before checking for any injuries, my ears were ringing with a high pitched noise, and I felt like I had the wind punched out of me but at least I didn't feel like anything was broken or bruised.


I scooped up my backpack and raced towards the crashed... object. It was easy to see which way to go, as the object had left a wide gouge in the ground as it skidded to a halt, and thankfully it had rained earlier that day and the ground was still wet. Last thing I wanted was to be caught in a forest fire, and other than a few smoldering chunks of vegetation there didn't seem to be any danger of one sparking.


As I approached the crater I thought it was a meteorite, but as I got closer I saw that that wasn't what I was looking at. I'd never heard of meteorites being perfectly spherical and purely made of metal so that ruled that out.


"Please let it be a friendly" I muttered under my breath before I jumped down into the crater.

I could feel the heat radiating from all around me as I slowly moved towards the object. When I reached the object I slowly reached out with my left, ready to pull away at a moments notice, and touched the side... I quickly jumped back, only to look down as my hand in shock, before reaching out and touching it again. It was cool to the touch.


"How the fuck is this possible?" I wondered aloud, when suddenly the pod opened up, the lid of the pod separating into two halves to reveal what could only be described as a black and green fusion of a watch and a arm guard.


I slowly reached for the device, only for the device to shift and ripple and jump onto my right wrist. As soon as it grabbed hold of my wrist it hardened. 



I scrambled away from the pod, my feet sliding from under me making me fall on my ass as I hold my wrist and struggled to take the device off. After a few seconds my arm felt like someone had dunked it in a vat of ice water as it MERGED! With my arm and I heard a click in my head and then blackness started to edge in from the side of my vision, and just before I passed out I heard a voice in my head. 




"USER DETECTED. BEGINNING ANALYSIS" 



***************************************************************************


I had gone through what could only be described as a disturbing set of events in a relatively short space of time but in my opinion waking up while standing was the weirdest one yet. There was something unnatural about it, I thought as I struggled to stay on my feet and keep my balance.


There was only one word that could be used to describe my surroundings, nothingness. It was white in every direction I looked, no walls, no sky, no end. "Is this heaven?' I wondered aloud. I then followed up with " Hello? Anyone? Is God going to come out now, in his white robes and white beard and tell me that he has free Wifi?" I questioned aloud with a hint of laughter on my voice as I looked around while waiting for the moment where anything would happen....After a few minutes of nothing happening, I laid down with my arms behind my head, closed my eyes and relaxed a bit.


I stood there for a few moments when suddenly a gentle and kind feminine voice came out from above me.




"Analysis Complete. Loading Heuristic User Interface."


I slowly opened my eyes and saw the beautiful face of a woman with red hair. "Might I have the

pleasure of knowing the beautiful lady's name?" I said as I got up. As I did this I looked at her and saw.

She was petite but with curves, with long flowing red hair, pale white skin, deep green eyes and wearing a very thin white dress that ended mid-thigh and left one shoulder uncovered.

She looked at me then giggled 

"You can call me Leah, Master"


I did a spit take as my face gained a look of shock then I looked at her again and raised my index finger "First off great name, second why are you calling me Master?, third Where the fuck are we?" I said as I slowly got louder


Leah just smiled at me and said in her gentle tone "We are currently in the Control Nexus"


"And that is?" I asked a look of confusion on my face


She starts to walk towards me and started to explain "I'll explain in a easy to understand way Master"

"Hey" I interject "Basically both I and the Control Nexus exist outside of space and time. So we are currently standing on 'nothing' in an expanse of 'nothing'"


I cross my arms over my chest and say "Huh...and you are what? A god of some sort?"


She looks at me as her eyebrows start to raise a bit then she burst out laughing. After a few seconds of her laughing she cleans her eye with her finger and says "No Master, I'm not a god. I'm an AI with sole purpose of assisting you. That device that merged with you was the brain / me interface."


"Ohhhk but what can you do? What ARE you? Ok you're an AI and that thing connects the both of us but you were created as what?"


She crosses her arms over her chest and looks down to ponder for a bit as her face gains thinking look then she looks up and says "Well I guess I was created as a sort of multi tool. A AI companion to assist my Master in their life" After this she starts to count with her fingers as she lists out "I can hack, I can travel through universes, I can modify your body if you like, I can serve as a communications device, I have a mostly empty database (except for a few things on the Creators), I have a basic Stealth function and I even have an inventory of sorts like the ones from the video games you use to play." She ends smiling at me


I just stare for a bit before putting my hands over my face and saying "Fuuuck!!!!"


*****************************************************


An hour later


... After an….extremely taxing conversation later I was able to find out some more info on Leah.

She was kind of a multi-dimensional TARDIS on crack and fused with a bunch of amazing future tech, only she can't time travel, or at least what you would normally consider as time travel. She could basically 'connect' with any universe at any point in it's history, but once that connection is made time flows exactly 1:1 with all other universes she's connected with. 



Example, if I made a connection to another universe, to say the year 1492, popped over for a visit, but then wanted to visit the same universe in the year 1992, I'd have to wait 500 years to pass in 'real' time, rather than just jumping back and forth like in sci-fi.


The way around this? Upgrading Leah. What do I mean by this? Well apparently Leah's creators (which she calls the Creators. Great naming sense) must have been a part of the few beings in the multiverse who weren't arrogant enough about their own creations to think they were perfect, because they installed two nifty features called Upgrade and Scan.


Again great names I know, but anyway what that means is that Leah will constantly improve herself by using the data I gather with the Scan ability so If I, for example, find and scan a Tardis then Leah will try to integrate that tech into herself.

I say try because she might need several samples of that type of tech


And it looks like I'm not the only one going through this. Leah told me that this guy from Australia that had found a device that was extremely advanced just like her but not the same (they don't have the same creators) named LVIOS that came from an ancient civilization, which doesn't sound that bad, but the shitty thing is that LVIOS doesn't allow him to return to his home universe while Leah... Also doesn't let me return to my universe. But at least Leah is doing it to protect me. Going back to my original universe after getting Leah would cause the universe to push me out violently as I wouldn't technically be the same as before I got Leah.


That….doesn't change the fact that this is horrible. Yea travelling the multiverse is cool but.... I won't be able to see anyone I love. My family probably thinks I'm dead and I won't be able to see them ever again .


At this moment my eyes start to tear up a bit as memories of my family's faces start to pop up in my mind.


"I love you guys so much...I feel so alone" I say as I focus on the mental images and hug myself


"I'll always be with you Master" Leah responds as I feel her hug me from behind "I'm so sorry that it's my fault that you won't ever see them again" she lets go of me and turns me around to look into my eyes as she grabs my shin ""But I will never leave you." She touches my chest with her index finger " I'm bound to your soul and your soul alone. No matter how much it changes and how much you change I will always be yours alone" Leah responds with an unimaginable amount of love dripping from her voice


As she finishes saying that a trail of tears starts to fall down my face again as my hair and the shadow of it hides most of my face "Thank you"


At this she smiles and hugs me again "That...is why you're my Master"

Well, was expecting a science based power trip, then you go and make a deal with the most unscientific occult...

Better to have simply come before Ronny becomes what he became through Alchemy and steal his work/data/knowledge etc...

Yup cuz the first thing a normal fleshy human should do is try to fuck over a homunculi (I'm pretty sure that Ronny didnt become anything, he created a Homunculi named Ronny that gave up its future sight in order to be able to leave its lamp) besides Ronny has been shown to not give a fuck about what you do and can even be helpful. I doubt that even with his knowledge I'd be able to modify the elixir like he can. That's like saying that if I knew the exact knowledge behind Harry Potter Transmutation or any other magical ability I'd be able to replicate it. I wouldnt. Ronny has god like powers and my scrawny baseline human body doesnt have the power to replicate his feats even if the Elixir is a chemical formula.

black and green fusion of a watch and a arm guard.

Only in the second read through I caught on that it looks like the Omnitrix.

Location: Baccano! Universe,

Damn that's on my plan to watch list.

 

[MasterG]

I'm gonna put this in the previous chapters but just so everyone can see I'd like to thank 'Beastrider9' for being my wonderful beta. Without him this story wouldnt be half as great as it is now.

 

[Jack_Fireshard]

Yup, adding to the other 30 odd story's I am watching right now.

 

[Heavy READER]

Is there going to be a meeting between you and Alexander from cruel to be kind.

 

[MasterG]

Is there going to be a meeting between you and Alexander from cruel to be kind.

Click to shrink...

I mean I'd love to do it...but I doubt that would happen. That is unless @tkioz wants to do it *hint**hint**nudge*nudge*
(I'm actually super fucking serious, please create posters, banners and Petitions. Lets make this shit happen)
It would actually be really funny to see Alexander's reaction to Leah. Just find a guy with a device like his but one with a AI to do all the tough work that he had to learn how to do. Beyond that it would be interesting to read (and write) some scene to see how Alex would act when meeting another universe traveller that isnt some powerful Wizard or Planeswalker.

But again I doubt that would happen. Going with my current outlines for the story by the time we met I'd already have a few solutions for some of his problems and that'd be a huge Deus Ex Machina. Cuz I'm trying to build a Empire that would be more than happy to actually trade with him

 

[MasterG]

Actually any dealings with Alex's Commonwealth would have to happen in a distance of 2 universes away from Urial because that guy!....scares the shit out of me. I mean I'm positive that if Urial found out that I had Immortality and Leah he'd torture me for eternity in order to seize everything I own and know
Lesson is "Dont meet Urial"

Also just to finish this whole shpeel off is the fact that I'm a shit writter compared to Tkioz and am not worthy of being in his story.

 

[MasterG]

Guys I need your help with something, sorry if you thought this was an update but I need your opinions about something.
Any of you know the animated movie "Treasure Planet"? Well I need your opinion regarding the solar panel cloth they have there. It is shown as being able to fully charge a whole ship with lots of tech in it after about 10 seconds. Now how powerful do you think it should be compared to normal solar panels? From what I can see its seems to be a really powerful power source but I want to know what you think about it. How powerful should I make it when regarding its capabilites to power more advanced Sci-fi tech?

 

[kaazmiz]

Scientists have come up with see through solar panels that can be mounted on windows. And easily power up 7V appliances.
I don't think that making something a few times stronger would be too much OP.
But beyond that it would likely go overboard.
