Waking up as another person is a thing, waking up as an anthro equestrian pony is definitely a thing if you set the bar a little bit low. Then again, seeing a vision about a pair of God-like viruses that infect dimensions with their Shards to delay the inevitable entropy. A single Shard miscalculated its trajectory and was thrown across space and time towards a hapless individual. It is one that actually bears the neg-entropic solution that the Entities are trying to find. The backup Eidolon Shard that was thought to be inactive was found by another entity, one who is filled to the brim with Getter Rays. Unfortunately, that leads to a bunch of shenanigans.
Arc 0: Moving Castle of the Crystal King - Chapter 1
In the vastness of space, two incomprehensible beings danced in the Void Which Binds. The first incomprehensible being, a strangely beautiful creature made entirely of silver light, is known as Thinker Entity. Whereas the other, an aberration made entirely of golden light, is known as the Warrior Entity.
The Thinker Entity sent a message to the Warrior Entity. "TRANSMISSION." ("I have set the location parameters for the next Cycle.") The message sent accidentally drove the nearby stars to waver and go supernova. The being absorbed all the energy from the supernova, leaving the spaces where the stars were supposed to be nothing but the void of space.
The Warrior Entity replied. "AGREEMENT." ("I see. Then we shall set out to the planet immediately.") If one could hear them without exploding into smithereens, one could hear a couple traveling the countryside on a casual day.
The Thinker Entity spoke once more. "DESTINATION." ("The location has been set. We shall now traverse.") Fortunately, there are no stars around near them otherwise that would have ended them.
The Warrior Entity replied immediately. "AGREEMENT."
The Thinker Entity was being turned slightly as the other followed it. The two performed a dance of helical patterns as they traveled the cosmos. They found the location and were about to shed the last of their Shards when suddenly the Warrior sent another message. "QUERY." ("Uh... We have a problem.")
The Thinker Entity asked. "QUESTION." ("What is it?")
"MISCALCULATION. ERROR." ("I fucked up one of the Shard parameters and they are now going away from the planet.") The Warrior Entity replied immediately.
"OH." The other abruptly sent. "SWEAR." ("SHIT!")
They were about to land the planet through their avatars when suddenly they saw another being like them. Except that one is weird as it moves the Universe through Dark Matter instead of moving itself like the two.
"YOINK!" ("THIS MINE LOL!") The Third Entity, Abaddon, spoke as it accidentally shed a Shard known as Path to Victory towards the Thinker Entity and caused the Thinker to crash into an Earth in a nearby dimension. What happened afterward is a tale from another time or rather a story that is so popular that spawned many fanfics about it. Seriously, there are several of them still active before 2011.
Unfortunately for Abaddon, it missed. "SWEAR!" ("FUCK!")
The Shard flung throughout space, time, and even dimensions. It was found by an Old One known as the Emperor It got curious because the Emperor itself never created this strange construct. The Emperor has decided to just observe where it went and watch from afar. It watched as the Shard descended upon a world where Harmony and Chaos used to have their proxy war.
Now knowing what will happen, The Emperor gave a little gift for that Shard. A gift that will allow it to break free from the Cycle. Now that the Emperor's curiosity has been sated, it is about to leave when at the corner of its eyes, it sees a soul being dragged by the Shard from a familiar place it has been to in the past cycles. That got Emperor very confused.
Waking up after dying is weird. Waking up and then seeing a vision of two incomprehensible beings that I know that came from Wildbow's Parahumans web series is even weirder. I felt a massive dread as I realized that the three of them are real. Why did I know that? I accidentally used flight power and flung myself from this arctic waste into a crystalline tower that I didn't see. What's that? How did I know I used flight power? I could feel a connection, a click then suddenly I saw two empty slots in my corner of vision. One of them is a sigil of a songbird flying with glass-like wings, the other two are still empty.
I was stuck there for an hour. A freaking hour before people actually pulled me out. I took a look at who pulled me and blinked. I only saw three little ponies staring at me. They are adorable. The weather is snowing lightly and this crystalline tower is actually part of a greater whole. This area is a kingdom, albeit one without people in it and filled with snow. These three might've been the only ones living here. Poor things.
I took a look at the little ponies-err... fillies. They both have the aspects of pegasi with their wings and the aspects of the unicorns with their horns. The white one is wearing a golden armor that seemed akin to gold but not and depicts a sun. Her tail and hair-mane are made entirely of ethereal golden flames that move as if it is on the wind but are extremely fluffy. The ebony one is wearing silver armor that depicts the moon. She is more behaved than the white one that is currently gnawing on my wings... wait... Yep. The third one, the magenta-ish filly has too many wings and is currently sleeping on my back.
Come to think of it, the three fillies are rather familiar? What are their names? Daybringer, Midnight Moon, Starfall? No? Argh. I'll remember when the time comes.
I must be a Case 53 then. I mean, I just noticed that I'm akin to a satyr except more cartoonish due to the pastel colors, I think. I noticed a sigil depicting an omega overlayed on top of a crown on the upper right side of my torso. The crown is adorned with a snowflake and a crystalline heart inside the omega. I just remembered about my wings right now. My wings are made entirely of black diamonds that exude tethers made entirely of translucent energies.
I took the three fillies with me as I descended. I went inside the tower, which is incredibly warm for some reason. I tried figuring out why, and I found something. A broken crystalline heart is floating on top of a pedestal. The majority of it is trying to spin right but the pieces are spinning wrong. I also realized that there are tons of frozen corpses around.
In fact, one of them looks like a unicorn trying to stop the crystalline heart from spinning only to fail as their front hooves are destroyed by the spinning. I mean, it's easy to see what's going on with the frozen corpses trying to run away from the crystalline heart.
I took a look at the empty slots and attempted to add a single power. Something to fix this problem. The slot shifted and became an ornate shield with a pair of wings. As sudden as that power manifested, information was placed upon my mind. Countless blueprints on how to harness the energy from the crystalline heart into something useful. But I need materials. A lot of material- wait, where did the three fillies go?
I took a look around and I saw the three of them outside the window, they were dragging scrap metal. Each of them has a smaller heap of scrap metals. The largest heap is being carried by the magenta-ish filly through the use of telekinesis. The other heap is being carried by white filly using their hooves. In the ebony filly's case, a tentacle came from her back. Oh. They have mind-reading powers.
I've decided to take the metals and begin my work. The blueprint depicts a machine that allows for wavelengths to be manipulated in a specific way. Pieces of glass are given to me by the white filly after it breathed fire on the windows to melt them.
My body is moving automatically as the pieces come into place. The materials are molded into strange machinery with pipes running all over this frozen kingdom. I'm not sure how long I was working but when I am done, all I have to do is flick the-
I stumbled and noticed that my two filled slots suddenly got emptied out, and I heard a monotonous voice that says 'Host physical faculties dropping, stamina low; emergency power scram'. Great. I flicked the switch and I sat down on the floor. My eyelids betray me as I attempt to stay awake. The three fillies surrounded me and I was greeted by darkness.
Little did I know, this machine would start a problem only I can solve. But at least not in this millennia.
"What's going to happen now?"
"I'm not sure. The Getter Emperor has never moved until now."
"This Cycle will be interesting."
"You always say that, Vishnu. You always say that. The last time you did, everything went to flames."
"That was the time where those hotblooded men ascended the Cycle, right?"
"Yep. Why do they always compare the size of their sunglasses? I mean, I get it but are they compensating for something?"
"It won't end up in flames this time. After all, Ashborn chose that Soul as his replacement in this Cycle. He will inherit his domain over Shadows and the Undead, probably. But not now, he isn't ready yet. If his Soul isn't up to the task, he'll probably be dead by now."
"I'm sorry. WHAT!?"

That Time When Everyone In Brockton Bay is A Reincarnator (Worm/Multicross)
- Location
- Earth, Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy
My name is Taylor Hebert. And I am a Reincarnator. Yes. I came from another world. However, in that world, I am the Final Boss, an Evil God named Rufas Mafahl. Yes, I conquered the world but I've died knowing I've managed to create a legacy so they will remember my name.As for where I am? I am at school and... Yes. Everyone has weird traits attached to them.
There's Greg Veder and his pompadour. Everyone who makes fun of his pompadour immediately got beaten up by him. He beat them so fast he looked like he doesn't even move.
There's Sophia Hess, who claims that she will banish you to the shadow realm if you got her really angry. Everyone just thinks of her as a mafia princess. But I knew better. I once followed her and saw what the Shadow Realm looks like. It is horrible.
There's my best friend, Emma Barnes. She is a chuunibyou who claims that she is a goddess named Aqua. No one believes her. She is also very useless at some things other than water-related things.
Charlotte is practically the normal one here. However, she claims that she misses being a man named Kazuma. She must be trans... I think? This world's customs are weird.
The next one is Madison Clements. The President of the Student Council. She likes to be called Medaka for some reason and wears these Japanese uniforms. No one cares about her weaboo tendencies because, and at this point, I'm pretty sure Winslow's reputation is tarnished by having weird students and teachers.
I mean, Mr. Gladly is too cautious. Extremely cautious that everyone actually doesn't take him seriously... until he killed the Endbringer, Behemoth. Now everyone looks onward on when he will say the words 'ready perfectly' again as he said those exact words before he fought said Endbringer.
Ms. Blackwell is our that principal. Oh, you know? That extremely hot principal, who makes the boys turn and get the girls to question their sexuality. I'm pretty sure she mistakenly called herself Misaki at some point. Maybe she is on the run from somewhere?
But of course, that was just the school. Then there's the entirety of the city I'm living in. Everyone is either as weird as this place or weirder than this place. This is a problem by itself but I'm pretty sure everyone triggered or something. There are no gangs in this city. Only chuuni people.
Take one of our heroes, for example, Clockblocker. He claims to be a delinquent and capable of stopping time using 'Star Platinum', a projection that he can only see. Huh? Oh right. He is called Clockblocker because he blocked a falling clock and now was stuck with the name. He has a rival that he claims to have the same power, Oni Lee.
The villains aren't even exempted from the weirdness. Lung and his gang act like delinquents. The helpful kind. They often help with officers and stuff like that. Then there's the fact that Lung's name is misplaced due to his power to heal people by punching them with a construct that only he can see. You know, once is a happenstance. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is enemy action. But, eh. I won't pursue those bizarre rumors.
The Merchants are the sanest of all the insane individuals in this city. They actually sell things during business hours, then they do drugs after said hours.
"Class." Mr. Quinlan spoke, his voice appearing everywhere and nowhere. "We have a guest, say hello to..." Then suddenly, some sort of short man appeared out of nowhere in the air. "Mister Mxyzptlk."
"Hello everyone-" Then he stopped when he saw a man. "You!"
"Yes! IT IS I! Klarion!" The man shouted.
"So, you are still alive!?" Mr. Mxy posed dramatically and pointed at Klarion. "Today! You shall meet your doom!"
"Bring it on, Old Man!" Klarion shouted while also posing. "I shall whip your ass in this generic card game!"
"Oh let me teach you, you whippersnapper!" Then the two brought out duel disks. Soon, the two are fighting whilst a heavily dramatic backdrop appeared behind them.
"I would take a pic on this." A teenager with mushrooms on his beard and right arm spoke up. "But I ran out of films today." He is currently looking at cards with inscriptions of something written on them.
"Hey, guys! I just resurrected a dinosaur!" The local goth girl said outside the window while riding a T-Rex skeleton.
"Gamora. For the last time, using necromancy doesn't resurrect it completely!" The local art nutjob shouted. What is his name again? Magnificus? Ah right, he is one of those people from Earth Cheit. The Earth where all fights must be done on card games. That also includes divorces for some reason.
And then I slammed my head on the table, repeatedly. Please, Goddess Alovenus, wherever you are... Kill me now!
"How about no? This is your problem now." Alovenus spoke in her throneroom while nursing an ice bag on her head. This is the last time Being X is in charge of reincarnating people while being drunk.

The Nexus War is recently over... But has it truly ended?
How many years have I been staring at the hazy void right before me? I don't know. All I know is that the Nexus War is over and people are finally getting reincarnated again. I looked back and saw an incredibly long line of ethereal people. I turned once again and saw a gigantic nutcracker doll staring at me.
"Greetings." It spoke to me. "I am Being X, and I am currently in charge of reincarnation for this century on this Verse." It paused before looking at a list floating beside it. "Hmmm... you chose everything like what you did back on the Beta Testing phase. Very well, the new Essences will now take hold whereas your old Essences would undergo a reset and calibration for your new Form." It nodded briefly. "Oh and I almost forgot." It grabbed me by the neck and waist before throwing me into the hazy void. "Have fun~!" That motherfucker.
I got flung out sideways and at extreme angles. This trip towards the Realm of Samsara is weird as hell. Mostly because my awareness kept shifting left and right. Then I was suddenly stopped by a figure clad in solid sunlight.
"Oh! Another one! This Solar Invictus grants thee my blessing!" Then it shoved something on my head before I was thrown again; however, this time, it was a gentle push.
As I flew at high speeds, I saw a gigantic horned serpent talking to a really stretched-out George Washington. They are having coffee along with some Cornerfolks that I kept finding in my Home. They stopped briefly to look at me as I fell. George Washington shrugged before sipping on his coffee rapidly. He choked at the liquid, and the horned serpent laughed, menacingly.
As I fell once more, I got caught by a strange-looking entity. It has no face, but I know it is staring at me. It gave me something, a very familiar sword that I saw in the Nexus War. The Sol Invictus. Then it threw me somewhere. A black hole. Then I hit something and blacked out.
Waking up is like doing an Unblind Planeswalk to go to another world. Which is weird as fuck. How the hell did they not go insane from seeing countless dead trees is beyond me.
I looked at my appearance using a simple spell. Oh my~. I still have my pair of artificial wings. My outfit seems to be contorting rapidly before going for a fixed form. I looked positively beautiful. Fuck! Now those freaking fangirls would go after me! Now, how do I tone it down!? Got it! Beauty has now been toned down.
Looking around, I am currently in a dilapidated church. The furniture is strewn messily all over the place. There's a corpse and a message nearby. I walked near the message to look at it and I have to double-take. What the hell is an Elden Lord?
As I was wondering what the hell that term was, I found a necklace beside me. I took the dirty, old pendant and cleansed it a little bit with a simple spell. Oh? It seems that the pendant is absorbing my spell's fuel source to power it up. Fascinating.

Does anyone know why Cultivation is plant-like? I mean, it starts with a seed then it grows and grows until it becomes one mighty tree. Does no one know? Huh. That would be hilarious if both are one and the same.
When I died of an incomprehensible event, I thought I'll be in the Afterlife I believed in. However... Looking at the carts and rails all over the place turns out there is one Afterlife and everything else are just sections of the Afterlife. I'm not sure how long I am traveling in this cart. For some reason, all of them are singing a song about some Brittle Bones Nicky guy.
I felt gravity left from me as the cart descended to the ground. However, moments before I got flattened down there, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed me. I saw a being composed of two sides. One, in the front, is an old man with blue ethereal eyes. The other, in the back, is the Devil himself.
"You're not supposed to be here." The being spoke with two voices ringing out, each one equally as powerful as one other. "Strange. But not that strange. An Angel of Errors that doesn't exist." He scratched His head a few times before looking at a file floating nearby. Narrowing His eyes, he smiled. "I can work with this. Your Death isn't written- no. You don't have the Concept of Death that which I have made." Turning towards me he manifested a seed. He slowly pushed it into my chest, where it seamlessly sank inside. "There. A little Gift for one that wasn't part of my Realm. Now then, leave me in my work, little traveler."
Then He placed me on another cart as I saw a man in a suit with a fiery skull waving at me nearby. Then He placed the cart on another rail and slightly pushed. The cart is quite slow before picking up speed. I have to hold the edge of the cart to prevent myself from flying out of the cart. As the cart makes its way, the rail suddenly cuts off at the distance. With the speed at which my cart is going, I knew it will fly away. However, instead of the cart flying away, I flew away instead due to the cart suddenly stopping immediately at the edge of the rail. Then... a simple spark ignited within me.
The light ceased to be and I felt whole- no. It felt like, I have ascended into another stage of evolution. I am now looking at an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar memories appearing in the forefront of my mind. Huh? What's with this journal in my hand and a revolver in my other? Placing the revolver on the desk, I snapped the journal open...

It has a note stapled on it. It has the words, 'Everyone will die, including me.'... Huh? I plucked the note as soon as I realized there was something written behind it.
Huh? What do these words mean? Before I could ponder anymore, my head begins to throb. Soon, I am grabbing my head with my hands. Wordlessly screaming, I fell into unconsciousness again.
When I woke up, I immediately put my Anomalous powers to Creation, and I manifested an object ex-nihilo. The sword begins with a small metallic section that seems to be integrated with some form of green-glowing circuitry. There is a hole in the center, surrounded by two small blue embellishments, as well as one larger metallic embellishment in the form of feathers.
Beyond this section is the hand-held area of the hilt, which seems to be wrapped with a dark fabric. There are several evenly spaced rhombus-shaped areas not covered by this wrap, however. Farther down the length of the blade is the prominent opening, which is intricately decorated. It is tapered at six points on the exterior in a facsimile of opened wings. There is also a large bluish gem that has a swirling black cloud inside it. Within this segment of the sword, begins the blade.
The blade itself features a brown inner section imbued with the same form of circuitry seen on the bottom section of the hilt. Surrounding that section is the edge of the blade. Being a double-edged sword, this edge extends to both sides. At first, the blade widens until it surmounts in width approximately ten inches from the hilt. At that point, it slowly becomes narrower until the tip of the blade is reached. There are three holes of various sizes in one section, and three more of a much smaller size closer to the end.
Looking closely at the reflection from the blade, yep. I am that guy. What's his name again? I could've sworn his name is- I winced at the suddenness of noise emanating from nearby... Causing things to happen.
Then out of nowhere, I saw things. A man inside an ark working on objects. I saw him work the forges to create wonders, farm plants that are out of this world, and many more. Then the location is placed directly on my mind. Oh. That's located under this house.
I looked at where the noise came from. It's raining heavily outside, huh? With that in mind, I've decided to question the elephant in the room. I took a look at the corpse. He looks exactly like me... Except I have a worn-down wizard hat and a cracked monocle. Looking closely at my reflection, my pupils are different. My left pupil is silver whereas my right eye is gold. Placing the sword on my back, on a newly made sheath, I casually looked around to find a shovel.
Burying a body takes a lot of fucking time... Even in the rain, that somehow always misses me or the spot where I am digging. Seriously, what the hell's with this rain? I took the liberty of planting a strange plant that I found nearby over the body and placed a headstone on top of it. The headstone is courtesy of the forge from nearby. How did they do it? No idea. They just did. Just another anomalous power that I have in my repertoire.
According to my memories, I am known as Amon. I have no idea who that person is. Anyways, the rain is still going on even now. I'm not sure how much time has passed since I buried the corpse. Notably, because it is still raining just in case everyone who can read the Narrative forgot.
Now. How do I cultivate again? Ah. Just train. That was easy... Too easy. Hmm... Oh well. Using my Anomalous Powers, I went to a blank, white dimension where time doesn't exist and it will pop you back from whence you came if you exited it via any means. Training inside with some simple calisthenics, my Soul seems to grow more powerful.
For some reason, there's a Door here and a strange silhouette of a man. No, he isn't Scaramouch. His name is Truth. How did I know? No fucking clue. He is merely confused about why I exited the Door and then do some simple movements like punching the air and the like. I'm not sure how many hours have I practiced my martial arts but he seems curious about it. My stomach rumbled and I decided to end it right there. I raised a thumbs up at him briefly before leaving this dimension via that Door nearby.
Exiting that dimension, I appeared back to this cottage cabin. I'm pretty sure that's just a few hours as I haven't gotten any OP-like status from that. I took a deep breath and sat down to meditate. I saw things. Oh, according to the backlog, I have the Celestial Cultivation. It is a modified Jumpchain Essence and based on the Celestial Forge. Now, how do I roll, you may ask? Well, there are three paths that I can take. The Gacha Path, the Quest Path, and the Library Path.
Yep. The inbuilt guide is quite nice. Without it, I might've been lost. I looked at the rolls I currently have. I have five rolls banked and a free roll. I've decided to use that free roll. Then something fell nearby. It's a Crate of Sunset Sarsaparilla from Fallout New Vegas.
I wonder what it tastes like? Opening the crate, I took one of the bottles and opened it whilst closing the crate. Opening the bottle- huh? That's a neat blue star. I wiped the mouth of the bottle and then took a sip. It tastes like Cosmos Sarsaparilla back in the good old days when they put freaking cocaine in drinks. Nice.
I looked at the windows. The rain is still there. Sighing deeply, I've decided to explore the area nearby... Or what's left of it. The ground itself cut off after a kilometer from the cabin. There are floating pieces of the land everywhere and somehow, I could feel that this world isn't the original world where that corpse came from. Looking up, I saw the clouds forming a circle above me, revealing a broken moon hanging in the sky.
...
That's Heaven, right? I see. Scratching the back of my head, I lowered my gaze and saw a facility nearby atop a large mass of land. How large? I have no fucking clue. However, the facility itself is glitching. When I went there, a panel appeared right before me.
What the hell? Getter Robo Saga? That work of Ken Ishikawa? That is real!? Oh shit! Note to self, put the Library Branch on Getter Robo if it is one of the two Library Paths. I went to the other edge of this island. I saw several land masses glitching left and right. H-holy shit. If I think what I thought this was, it could only mean one thing. I need to get them all to complete this place.
To pertain a question, how do I get out of h- I totally didn't scream when the world spun into countless colors. Now, I am in another location... It is also raining. Sighing, I walked to explore this place. Looking around, I saw houses lining the streets.
Hmm? What's that? Looking up, I saw an ancient tower being attacked by all sorts of mechanical creatures. Energy blasts came from the tower. For a couple of minutes, the blasts stopped as more and more of those strange machines appear out of nowhere. I heard loud whirring noises inside the tower and saw two elevators flinging out of the ground before shooting upwards. I saw the machines follow the elevators whereas the energy blasts continued.
Shrugging, I took a sit on the ground and watched the whole thing. At exactly an hour, the topmost portion of the tower exploded. Instead of falling from the ground... the whole thing flew upwards into space. What? I saw one of the debris that got flung outwards land near me. It has a strange smiling mask embedded into it.
Turning, I looked at the noise behind me. There's no one there. Strange. I could've sworn... I turned back to the mask. It is strangely glowing. Grabbing it, I placed it on my face. It slipped down because it doesn't have a way to stick it in my head. I'm going to need to get some materials to tie it, huh? I used my powers to try and create something. That's when I realized, I'm still holding the bottle of Sunset Sarsaparilla. Humming briefly. I've decided to store the mask on my hat's side. Raising my still-open Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle, I took a sip. Aaah~. This is a nice drink. I wonder what Nuka-Cola tastes like?
Anyways, I've decided to roll my remaining banked rolls. Everything blurred as suddenly I am no longer in that old-timey place. I saw the small sapling suddenly grows brighter and brighter until suddenly, its roots spread five times. Immediately, the sapling glowed intensely. I have to cover my eyes due to the brightness intensifying by the second. I am back in that old-timey place.
I shouldn't have rolled if I know this would happen. But at least I have this... Essence... or something. I don't know what it is because it isn't an Essence from an Essence Entity. How did I know that? All the information about Essences is shoved directly into my head.
Urk! I felt my entire body tense up and I screamed wordlessly as I threw my limbs outwards. My entire body begins to unfold into machinery briefly. I stumbled forwards albeit I managed to catch myself and I stood slowly upright. What the fuck was this Perk!? It turned me into some sort of machine made specifically for war. I think this Celestial Cultivation is asking me for something.
I cracked my neck briefly as something fell near me. Some sort of person wearing Victorian-esque clothing. I could tell that this person isn't Human but something else entirely. This person is also dead. Oh well. I've decided to absorb his Essence.
That's when I learn that this is a fucking bad idea. Why? Memories upon memories of that person are shoved into my head. Their personality, skills, and everything have become are now mine to behold. This person is an alchemist who left this place a long time ago. They returned to retake something of theirs that they left behind. They succeeded, but something went wrong as they were sent into space where they... fought laser-wielding sharks and a freaking cyborg samurai? What?
As the memories and skills settled in, my outfit changed to match that Alchemist's outfit, however, I don't have their mask. Wait... I just realized something. That mask that slipped from my face, its true identity is that of a creature known only as Vario. I've decided to create something immediately to make sure it sticks to my face. Done. This is a really nice mask. Oh hey. It allows me to drink as if the mask is on my face, meaning I don't have to move it. Nice.
Now then, the bottle is now empty. I threw it away. It isn't anything im- wait. I used my newly acquired power and extracted the Essence. Nice. I have gained two Essences from it. Container and Glass.
Okay, now what? Hmm... I think I should kill that robotic samurai and absorb him as well. Yep. Definitely doing that. Charging up my Anomalous power into movement, the ground cracked as I leaped from the ground before shooting like a rocket toward space. Unsheathing my sword with both my hands, I swung at the right moment, cutting the samurai in half vertically- no. I only slashed one of its arms.
The robotic samurai stared at me before noticing my mask. It brandished its weapon and vanished at an intense speed. But alas, I am also as fast as him. The two of us clashed blades and then the robotic samurai vanished once more. My senses told me that something is wrong in a certain direction and I swung in that direction. The samurai's long-ass samurai sword got a little shorter as a result of that. I also cut a planet in half, somehow.
Putting my blade in my left hand, I flew in another direction. I threw my right hand to release a mystical shockwave. The robotic samurai glitched out briefly before I landed on a nearby asteroid. I raised my sword and blocked the incoming blow. The robotic samurai is constantly shedding sparks and bits from its body. I released my blade and grabbed the hilt of their sword. With one swift motion, I sent forth a barrage of mystical projectiles in the shape of arrows.
The robotic samurai's remaining arm is removed. Immediately, I grabbed my blade and the samurai's curved blade, then I swung both weapons at the same time. The robotic samurai died immediately. Finally. That took a while.
I assimilated them immediately and I now know how to use the blade efficiently. My outfit also changed to a futuristic red-black bulky frame with a samurai-esque design. Somehow, it fucking works with my Victorian clothing. My frame also has extra robotic limbs that plucked my swords by the hilt before folding them on my back to store them. The limbs remind me of the robotic samurai's arms.
Summoning a Transmittance Disk from the Ark, that I forgot that I have, I threw it at the sun. Now, what? Hmm... decisions, decisions... Which world should I go to? Hmm? I remembered something. There's quite a nice world where some people going missing would never be questioned. Time to go to the world of Cyberpunk.
Putting all of my Anomalous Powers into Travel, I took a direction and threw myself into another world. I nearly stumbled but I regained my footing. It's raining in this world as well. I was about to leave when I heard a noise. I know that noise. A firearm. I turned towards the direction where the noise came from. I saw several wispy lights slowly swirling into me before they snaked inside my clothes and into my body. I saw a bulky man with a smoking shotgun. He is not as bulky as me, though, as I have gained more mass due to the Essences I have assimilated.
Searching through the net for info, I found who this person is. Lieutenant Colonel James Norris. Oof, that's nasty. Dishonorably Discharged for being too violent. Damn, that's a lot of bodies mangled everywhere. He then got the Cyberpsychosis in Night City and went on a rampage. The police have been called and they got pawned.
The bulky man charged at me whilst firing his weapons. Each time the bullets entered within 10 centimeters around me, they turned into wisps of light upon which I absorbed once more. Interesting he changed his attacks and went for melee. Unfortunately, in one swift motion, I grabbed my newly-claimed katana and swung whilst moving forwards. As I stepped behind him, I placed my katana back into my frame's limbs.
James Norris's head immediately fell before falling to the ground, shattering alongside his body into a bunch of wispy light that I absorbed into my body like always. I raised my hand and looked at the thing I grabbed from his spine and this weird chip called shard, at least that's what they called it on the local internet. Fascinating, I copied the spine's designs by scanning it and I walked to the nearest police officer.
Due to my size, he gulped before I slowly moved the hand where I held the mechanical spine and that shard. That officer shakily grabbed the two objects before I walked away, waving at them in farewell.
Looking at the local internet, wow. That was fast. I saw a few videos of myself facing off against James Norris and then they saw my attack. I can't help but whistle. I think I broke space-time itself as I am suddenly in multitudes in one moment, then whole in the next.
Not only that but they noticed the wispy light that I kept absorbing. People are mad speculating about it in the form of a newly-created forcefield of some kind where you absorb things to store damage and unleash that in a single attack. They also gave me a nickname, The Sword of Night City.
Little did I know, that this world will be Ravaged soon... As its God will smite the very world.
Seedling 0.1
When I died of an incomprehensible event, I thought I'll be in the Afterlife I believed in. However... Looking at the carts and rails all over the place turns out there is one Afterlife and everything else are just sections of the Afterlife. I'm not sure how long I am traveling in this cart. For some reason, all of them are singing a song about some Brittle Bones Nicky guy.
I felt gravity left from me as the cart descended to the ground. However, moments before I got flattened down there, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed me. I saw a being composed of two sides. One, in the front, is an old man with blue ethereal eyes. The other, in the back, is the Devil himself.
"You're not supposed to be here." The being spoke with two voices ringing out, each one equally as powerful as one other. "Strange. But not that strange. An Angel of Errors that doesn't exist." He scratched His head a few times before looking at a file floating nearby. Narrowing His eyes, he smiled. "I can work with this. Your Death isn't written- no. You don't have the Concept of Death that which I have made." Turning towards me he manifested a seed. He slowly pushed it into my chest, where it seamlessly sank inside. "There. A little Gift for one that wasn't part of my Realm. Now then, leave me in my work, little traveler."
Then He placed me on another cart as I saw a man in a suit with a fiery skull waving at me nearby. Then He placed the cart on another rail and slightly pushed. The cart is quite slow before picking up speed. I have to hold the edge of the cart to prevent myself from flying out of the cart. As the cart makes its way, the rail suddenly cuts off at the distance. With the speed at which my cart is going, I knew it will fly away. However, instead of the cart flying away, I flew away instead due to the cart suddenly stopping immediately at the edge of the rail. Then... a simple spark ignited within me.

The light ceased to be and I felt whole- no. It felt like, I have ascended into another stage of evolution. I am now looking at an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar memories appearing in the forefront of my mind. Huh? What's with this journal in my hand and a revolver in my other? Placing the revolver on the desk, I snapped the journal open...
...
It has a note stapled on it. It has the words, 'Everyone will die, including me.'... Huh? I plucked the note as soon as I realized there was something written behind it.
'Do what comes natural to you...'
Huh? What do these words mean? Before I could ponder anymore, my head begins to throb. Soon, I am grabbing my head with my hands. Wordlessly screaming, I fell into unconsciousness again.
When I woke up, I immediately put my Anomalous powers to Creation, and I manifested an object ex-nihilo. The sword begins with a small metallic section that seems to be integrated with some form of green-glowing circuitry. There is a hole in the center, surrounded by two small blue embellishments, as well as one larger metallic embellishment in the form of feathers.
Beyond this section is the hand-held area of the hilt, which seems to be wrapped with a dark fabric. There are several evenly spaced rhombus-shaped areas not covered by this wrap, however. Farther down the length of the blade is the prominent opening, which is intricately decorated. It is tapered at six points on the exterior in a facsimile of opened wings. There is also a large bluish gem that has a swirling black cloud inside it. Within this segment of the sword, begins the blade.
The blade itself features a brown inner section imbued with the same form of circuitry seen on the bottom section of the hilt. Surrounding that section is the edge of the blade. Being a double-edged sword, this edge extends to both sides. At first, the blade widens until it surmounts in width approximately ten inches from the hilt. At that point, it slowly becomes narrower until the tip of the blade is reached. There are three holes of various sizes in one section, and three more of a much smaller size closer to the end.
Looking closely at the reflection from the blade, yep. I am that guy. What's his name again? I could've sworn his name is- I winced at the suddenness of noise emanating from nearby... Causing things to happen.

If you could build it yourself with the materials you have, then it will be automated and done by your will alone (either in your Warehouse or wherever you choose to keep your tools of creation) without you even lifting a finger. If you didn't before, you now also have the knowledge and the means to recreate the Deathless phenomenon en masse out of any number of mortals whom your splendor deems worthy. By your own will, the same technology can even be used to transport and recreate objects and energy. You are now immune to suffering true death through an Infinity Weapon or anything similar to it.﴿⦖⋙

Then out of nowhere, I saw things. A man inside an ark working on objects. I saw him work the forges to create wonders, farm plants that are out of this world, and many more. Then the location is placed directly on my mind. Oh. That's located under this house.
I looked at where the noise came from. It's raining heavily outside, huh? With that in mind, I've decided to question the elephant in the room. I took a look at the corpse. He looks exactly like me... Except I have a worn-down wizard hat and a cracked monocle. Looking closely at my reflection, my pupils are different. My left pupil is silver whereas my right eye is gold. Placing the sword on my back, on a newly made sheath, I casually looked around to find a shovel.
Burying a body takes a lot of fucking time... Even in the rain, that somehow always misses me or the spot where I am digging. Seriously, what the hell's with this rain? I took the liberty of planting a strange plant that I found nearby over the body and placed a headstone on top of it. The headstone is courtesy of the forge from nearby. How did they do it? No idea. They just did. Just another anomalous power that I have in my repertoire.
According to my memories, I am known as Amon. I have no idea who that person is. Anyways, the rain is still going on even now. I'm not sure how much time has passed since I buried the corpse. Notably, because it is still raining just in case everyone who can read the Narrative forgot.
Now. How do I cultivate again? Ah. Just train. That was easy... Too easy. Hmm... Oh well. Using my Anomalous Powers, I went to a blank, white dimension where time doesn't exist and it will pop you back from whence you came if you exited it via any means. Training inside with some simple calisthenics, my Soul seems to grow more powerful.
For some reason, there's a Door here and a strange silhouette of a man. No, he isn't Scaramouch. His name is Truth. How did I know? No fucking clue. He is merely confused about why I exited the Door and then do some simple movements like punching the air and the like. I'm not sure how many hours have I practiced my martial arts but he seems curious about it. My stomach rumbled and I decided to end it right there. I raised a thumbs up at him briefly before leaving this dimension via that Door nearby.
Exiting that dimension, I appeared back to this cottage cabin. I'm pretty sure that's just a few hours as I haven't gotten any OP-like status from that. I took a deep breath and sat down to meditate. I saw things. Oh, according to the backlog, I have the Celestial Cultivation. It is a modified Jumpchain Essence and based on the Celestial Forge. Now, how do I roll, you may ask? Well, there are three paths that I can take. The Gacha Path, the Quest Path, and the Library Path.
⋘⦕﴾HELP - Rolls﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Through the Celestial Cultivation, one can find three Paths for their splendor to be unveiled. With these Paths in your very hands, you will soon Ascend to the Heavens!﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Translation: You have different flavors on how to roll for you fucking Perks, asshole.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾The Gacha Path will allow you to roll for random non-supercharged perks based on the number that has been rolled on your dice. 0 for Essence, 1 for Maker, 2 for Martial, 3 for Magia, and 4 for an extra dice on the next roll. You gain one Gacha Path roll for free every day. You can't gain CYOA using this Path.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾The Quest Path will allow you to gain a perk on one of the three branches depending on how hard the quest is. Supercharged Perks and/or Items are always the hardest and rarest to get using this Path.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾The Library Path is when you Roll, you have to get all the Library Perks, and only then you can choose another Library to roll to. However, only one of the two Libraries shown can be chosen per Branch. The last Perks and/or Items are always Supercharged, and you actually need to roll for 4 or more Chains to get it.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾If the Perk is Supercharged then it will instead be either the stronger Post-Spark versions or the fused one if they have both versions listed. Items can't be Supercharged, but they will be upgraded if you got them on a Supercharged Roll.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾WARNING: If you have rolled too many Supercharged Perks in one go, you won't be able to obtain any Perks for a week.﴿⦖⋙

Yep. The inbuilt guide is quite nice. Without it, I might've been lost. I looked at the rolls I currently have. I have five rolls banked and a free roll. I've decided to use that free roll. Then something fell nearby. It's a Crate of Sunset Sarsaparilla from Fallout New Vegas.

I wonder what it tastes like? Opening the crate, I took one of the bottles and opened it whilst closing the crate. Opening the bottle- huh? That's a neat blue star. I wiped the mouth of the bottle and then took a sip. It tastes like Cosmos Sarsaparilla back in the good old days when they put freaking cocaine in drinks. Nice.
I looked at the windows. The rain is still there. Sighing deeply, I've decided to explore the area nearby... Or what's left of it. The ground itself cut off after a kilometer from the cabin. There are floating pieces of the land everywhere and somehow, I could feel that this world isn't the original world where that corpse came from. Looking up, I saw the clouds forming a circle above me, revealing a broken moon hanging in the sky.
...
That's Heaven, right? I see. Scratching the back of my head, I lowered my gaze and saw a facility nearby atop a large mass of land. How large? I have no fucking clue. However, the facility itself is glitching. When I went there, a panel appeared right before me.
⋘⦕﴾Getter Robo Saga Item "Vega Zone" required to progress 'Pocket Dimension'..﴿⦖⋙
What the hell? Getter Robo Saga? That work of Ken Ishikawa? That is real!? Oh shit! Note to self, put the Library Branch on Getter Robo if it is one of the two Library Paths. I went to the other edge of this island. I saw several land masses glitching left and right. H-holy shit. If I think what I thought this was, it could only mean one thing. I need to get them all to complete this place.
To pertain a question, how do I get out of h- I totally didn't scream when the world spun into countless colors. Now, I am in another location... It is also raining. Sighing, I walked to explore this place. Looking around, I saw houses lining the streets.
Hmm? What's that? Looking up, I saw an ancient tower being attacked by all sorts of mechanical creatures. Energy blasts came from the tower. For a couple of minutes, the blasts stopped as more and more of those strange machines appear out of nowhere. I heard loud whirring noises inside the tower and saw two elevators flinging out of the ground before shooting upwards. I saw the machines follow the elevators whereas the energy blasts continued.
Shrugging, I took a sit on the ground and watched the whole thing. At exactly an hour, the topmost portion of the tower exploded. Instead of falling from the ground... the whole thing flew upwards into space. What? I saw one of the debris that got flung outwards land near me. It has a strange smiling mask embedded into it.
"It's a-me, Vario~..."
Turning, I looked at the noise behind me. There's no one there. Strange. I could've sworn... I turned back to the mask. It is strangely glowing. Grabbing it, I placed it on my face. It slipped down because it doesn't have a way to stick it in my head. I'm going to need to get some materials to tie it, huh? I used my powers to try and create something. That's when I realized, I'm still holding the bottle of Sunset Sarsaparilla. Humming briefly. I've decided to store the mask on my hat's side. Raising my still-open Sunset Sarsaparilla bottle, I took a sip. Aaah~. This is a nice drink. I wonder what Nuka-Cola tastes like?
Anyways, I've decided to roll my remaining banked rolls. Everything blurred as suddenly I am no longer in that old-timey place. I saw the small sapling suddenly grows brighter and brighter until suddenly, its roots spread five times. Immediately, the sapling glowed intensely. I have to cover my eyes due to the brightness intensifying by the second. I am back in that old-timey place.

⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk: "Essence" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: You control Essence. With a touch, you can break down material objects into Essence, an incorporeal aura of light and patterns that embodies the conceptual traits of the object. You must then refine the essence with an act of will, purging it of impurities and reducing it to a single concept. When Essence has been purified into a pure state, placing it into a new container, be it living or inanimate, grants that concept to the vessel. This imbuement can alter the physical, mental, and spiritual traits of the vessel, for its conceptual power trumps even the laws of reality, capable of defying physics and logic.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Target: "Yourself" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: The easiest type of Imbuement, your body belongs to you, and is uniquely receptive to your abilities. Your familiarity with your own body grants makes more nuanced means available to you, such as only imbuing a part of your body and more control over what effects the Essence has. Regardless of what you do, you will never be able to accidentally harm yourself with an unexpected effect.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Target: "Objects" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: While not as easy as self imbuement, objects are the most mutable class of container, easily capable of shifting in nature. As objects can also be turned into Essence, they present the unique opportunity to create new Essences from the results of your efforts.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Target: "Others" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: The Hardest type of Imbuement. Other people's innate agency and individuality make imbuing them a time-consuming and challenging task.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Addon: "Vessel" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: Within your soul, you have created a perfect vessel, capable of holding a pool of Essences. Simply contacting Essence and willing it into the space is sufficient, and releasing its needs with nothing but a thought. The volume of this vessel can be expanded through training.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Addon Upgrade: "Reactor" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: Your vessel is now capable of generating new Essence. You can create any type of Essence so long as a sample exists within the vessel, at a rate equivalent to breaking down an object that embodies that concept well once a day.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Addon: "Amplification" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: While you and you alone are capable of manipulating Essence, it is already present in every single thing, by projecting your will outward you can amplify the essence of the effects has on its container, amplifying the traits that spring from the Essence. At first, this ability affects everything around you and all essences, but with time and training, you can control what you amplify.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Addon Upgrade: "Pulse" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: You have learned to release a powerful but short-lived amplification burst that acts much like a radar pulse, informing you of the presence, positioning, and nature of Essence in your surroundings. Training can drastically expand the range, precision, and ease with which you can do this, eventually granting near-perfect clairvoyance of a vast area around you.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Addon: "Shaping" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: Imbuing Essence by hand isn't the only way of doing things. By shaping the Essence into a pattern, such as a ball, an arrow, or a fluid, you can create novel methods of application. The essence will take on the properties of the pattern and can be directed by your will, ex. flying like an arrow, bouncing like a ball, or flowing down a pipe. Training can create more complex patterns, but never a pattern that acts on its own.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Perk - Addon Upgrade: "Animation" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: By granting a semblance of life to Essence, you can turn it into a spirit-like being that will follow your orders. While not particularly intelligent, they can understand instructions to emit their Essence into the environment or to seek out a certain type of container and fill it. Training brings the possibility of different types of beings and even grants the beings minor abilities that draw upon the Essence from which they are made.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Roll - Extra Maker Perk: "Robot Body" from "Inuyashiki"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: Also known as the Alien Weapon Unit, this is a body created by the aliens for the purposes of the two dead humans, now three. You were with the other two humans when they were killed, thus being restored with the same type of body. This changes your starting location automatically to the park where you were restored. Unfortunately not much is known about its capabilities, though what is known is detailed below.
• Immortality and Immunity
Your new body requires no maintenance on your behalf and is resilient enough to withstand conventional firearms and military-grade firearms, though maybe not tanks. You are also completely immune to human disease.
• Flight
Your body is capable of flight using a jetpack with two thrusters that fold out from your back. The altitude and the duration of flight are indefinite, including being space capable.
• Inhuman Strength
The strength of your body is enough to throw several people into the at once or to be able to lift multiple planes simultaneously without straining the host or causing damage to the plane. It is also capable of ripping out parts of a meteorite with ease.
• Direct Tech Interface
○Your body is able to interface with any technological equipment. This includes accessing satellite links, cameras, both CCTV and personal, social media sites, and government databases. It is capable of remotely manipulating banking systems, automobiles, and seemingly all electronically connected screens. It is possible to extend your other powers through an electronic medium. It can locate a person provided they are in the vicinity of technological equipment such as a phone or computer. Other electronic devices like cell phones can be integrated into the body's system, with functional USB ports being replicated on the body. Of important note is that you cannot use this to interfere with another unit's functions. To give an idea of what this can do in conjunction with the onboard A.I., it can scan the faces of several people, some with their faces half turned away or with their backs turned, comb through the internet to find their identities, and post that info along with a previously auto-recorded video, all in the span of 30 seconds.
• Healing
You are capable of curing all kinds of wounds and diseases in living beings, including animals. You can also resurrect something that is recently deceased. It is unknown if you can reverse the effects of aging. This is done either by touch or by placing both hands above the body.
• Enhanced Sight and Hearing
You are capable of hearing all sounds within a large range, limited only by your audio processing capacities, and seeing clearly within a radius of 100 km.
• Simulation/A.I.
Due to your mind inhabiting what is essentially a supercomputer, you are capable of running extremely fast and accurate simulations in order to determine the outcome of an event, provided you have enough input data, though this is relatively easy, as the advanced A.I. you now possess automatically scans and records any relevant data you might need, including for things you haven't thought of yet.
• Overcharge
An ability that can only be used sparingly, this can instantly repair your body from major damage & power up your systems, and overcharge the supercomputer to increase your strength, reinforce your structure, and increase your flight boost for a short period of time. This can cause a non-boosted unit to destroy its arm from punching you, with you capable of easily punching through and destroying a part of its chest.
• Autopilot
○ When you fall unconscious due to damage or extreme trauma, the center of your processing unit will assume control of your body and will neutralize any remaining hostiles present in your vicinity. This takes the form of a camera that protrudes somewhere out of your body.
• Built-in Weapons
There are four known kinds of weapons in the unit.
○ Multi Laser Ray and Multi Rockets
Usually activated when unconscious. These can be used as a non-lethal method of crippling an opponent or used as an explosive-guided laser ray. They can be activated outside autopilot by exposing the weapon hidden in your body. These lasers can be directed and course corrected. Alternatively, you can have mini multi rockets, which you can control the directions of through your supercomputer. These rockets can cause an explosive impact and require a few seconds to reload before firing them again.
○ Invisible Laser Weapon
Like a laser ray but doesn't make any sound or leave any trace of light or gunpowder. Can be activated without exposing the interior part of the robot. The laser is also able to travel through multiple screens to shoot from a safe distance. As long as you are facing someone, including through a screen, whether or not you can see them, it will affect them as though you shot them in person. It can also be used like telekinetic bullets, used like a regular handgun, or a full-automatic rifle. It also functions as a cutting beam.
○ Arm Cannon
A large, long cannon is located inside both of your arms. When activated, the arm cannon is exposed from the arm. The arm cannons can do a massive amount of damage, creating small craters around an area, and can even vaporize strong materials such as metal. The arm cannons require a few seconds to charge up before it's ready to fire. They can be activated at any time.
○ Self-Destruct Mechanism
As the name implies, you are capable of self-destructing yourself, destroying yourself, and producing an explosion bigger than a nuclear missile while also creating a blinding light that could be seen from thousands of miles away. The activation sequence requires you to push both of your eyes inward and it takes a few seconds to go off. One of these explosions can destroy half an asteroid that is half the size of the Earth. Obviously, this will result in your death barring other abilities.
• Weaknesses
○ Your new body requires copious amounts of water to function and will become unable to move without it, though you will still remain conscious. Normally your body would be incapable of digesting food, but through the grace of CP, you can consume anything and gain energy from it.
○ While you are invulnerable to most human weapons, you can still be damaged by another unit. You are also still capable of feeling pain, though it is possible to power through it to counterattack or flee. Sufficient pain will instantly knock you unconscious, prompting the autopilot to take control.
○ Your new body is also highly intuitive to your wants and needs, capable of altering itself as needed. Examples include the aforementioned telekinetic bullets, done by making a gun gesture and a "bang" sound, though this is likely merely a way for the user to intuit the use of the weapon, whether than something necessary to its function, as the AI interprets and recreates the desired effect. This could even possibly be used to emulate a sniper rifle, by using your eyes to zoom in, and having your hands mime holding a rifle. This also means that the autopilot, and subsequently the body as a whole, will not do something that you would not do yourself. Though, the AI may know more about you than you do yourself.
○ The units do not appear to affect the user mentally through any means, and the aliens that made the unit do not appear to have any control over it. While your new body has many features, it is left for you to discover them on your own. The ease with which this is possible may depend on your personality.
• Extra
○ You have an extra A.I. system dedicated to the automatic use of your abilities. This allows you to set certain criteria for your abilities to activate. This allows you to set your abilities to automatically activate in certain situations as well as allowing them to always be on, without you having to think about them.
○ Additionally, these automatic and passive uses do not cause any drain on your energy, allowing them to be active indefinitely.
○ Subsequently, this gives you a kind of sixth sense, making you very hard to sneak up on. You can also integrate any weapons or tech you currently have into your body.
○ This works in futurejumps worlds as well, allowing you to seamlessly integrate any new tech, or tech-like things, you come across.﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Roll - Extra Item - Martial: "Fencer Frame" from "Earth Defence Force 2025"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: A rather impressive power frame, wearing it doubles your size and weight, but most importantly augments your strength. Fencer's power frames allow them to carry up to four weapons at once, holding one in each hand, with weapons ranging from miniguns to shoulder-mounted missile launchers to tank cannons and artillery. It is, rather slow and hard to move in, but it can be equipped with boosters that allow for large jet-boosted leaps or quick dashes across the ground. Fencers start with a Blasthole Spear (an oversized pile bunker), a shield that can block and deploy a short-lived deflector field, and arm-mounted miniguns.﴿⦖⋙

⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Roll - Extra Maker Perk: "Robot Body" from "Inuyashiki"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: Also known as the Alien Weapon Unit, this is a body created by the aliens for the purposes of the two dead humans, now three. You were with the other two humans when they were killed, thus being restored with the same type of body. This changes your starting location automatically to the park where you were restored. Unfortunately not much is known about its capabilities, though what is known is detailed below.
• Immortality and Immunity
Your new body requires no maintenance on your behalf and is resilient enough to withstand conventional firearms and military-grade firearms, though maybe not tanks. You are also completely immune to human disease.
• Flight
Your body is capable of flight using a jetpack with two thrusters that fold out from your back. The altitude and the duration of flight are indefinite, including being space capable.
• Inhuman Strength
The strength of your body is enough to throw several people into the at once or to be able to lift multiple planes simultaneously without straining the host or causing damage to the plane. It is also capable of ripping out parts of a meteorite with ease.
• Direct Tech Interface
○Your body is able to interface with any technological equipment. This includes accessing satellite links, cameras, both CCTV and personal, social media sites, and government databases. It is capable of remotely manipulating banking systems, automobiles, and seemingly all electronically connected screens. It is possible to extend your other powers through an electronic medium. It can locate a person provided they are in the vicinity of technological equipment such as a phone or computer. Other electronic devices like cell phones can be integrated into the body's system, with functional USB ports being replicated on the body. Of important note is that you cannot use this to interfere with another unit's functions. To give an idea of what this can do in conjunction with the onboard A.I., it can scan the faces of several people, some with their faces half turned away or with their backs turned, comb through the internet to find their identities, and post that info along with a previously auto-recorded video, all in the span of 30 seconds.
• Healing
You are capable of curing all kinds of wounds and diseases in living beings, including animals. You can also resurrect something that is recently deceased. It is unknown if you can reverse the effects of aging. This is done either by touch or by placing both hands above the body.
• Enhanced Sight and Hearing
You are capable of hearing all sounds within a large range, limited only by your audio processing capacities, and seeing clearly within a radius of 100 km.
• Simulation/A.I.
Due to your mind inhabiting what is essentially a supercomputer, you are capable of running extremely fast and accurate simulations in order to determine the outcome of an event, provided you have enough input data, though this is relatively easy, as the advanced A.I. you now possess automatically scans and records any relevant data you might need, including for things you haven't thought of yet.
• Overcharge
An ability that can only be used sparingly, this can instantly repair your body from major damage & power up your systems, and overcharge the supercomputer to increase your strength, reinforce your structure, and increase your flight boost for a short period of time. This can cause a non-boosted unit to destroy its arm from punching you, with you capable of easily punching through and destroying a part of its chest.
• Autopilot
○ When you fall unconscious due to damage or extreme trauma, the center of your processing unit will assume control of your body and will neutralize any remaining hostiles present in your vicinity. This takes the form of a camera that protrudes somewhere out of your body.
• Built-in Weapons
There are four known kinds of weapons in the unit.
○ Multi Laser Ray and Multi Rockets
Usually activated when unconscious. These can be used as a non-lethal method of crippling an opponent or used as an explosive-guided laser ray. They can be activated outside autopilot by exposing the weapon hidden in your body. These lasers can be directed and course corrected. Alternatively, you can have mini multi rockets, which you can control the directions of through your supercomputer. These rockets can cause an explosive impact and require a few seconds to reload before firing them again.
○ Invisible Laser Weapon
Like a laser ray but doesn't make any sound or leave any trace of light or gunpowder. Can be activated without exposing the interior part of the robot. The laser is also able to travel through multiple screens to shoot from a safe distance. As long as you are facing someone, including through a screen, whether or not you can see them, it will affect them as though you shot them in person. It can also be used like telekinetic bullets, used like a regular handgun, or a full-automatic rifle. It also functions as a cutting beam.
○ Arm Cannon
A large, long cannon is located inside both of your arms. When activated, the arm cannon is exposed from the arm. The arm cannons can do a massive amount of damage, creating small craters around an area, and can even vaporize strong materials such as metal. The arm cannons require a few seconds to charge up before it's ready to fire. They can be activated at any time.
○ Self-Destruct Mechanism
As the name implies, you are capable of self-destructing yourself, destroying yourself, and producing an explosion bigger than a nuclear missile while also creating a blinding light that could be seen from thousands of miles away. The activation sequence requires you to push both of your eyes inward and it takes a few seconds to go off. One of these explosions can destroy half an asteroid that is half the size of the Earth. Obviously, this will result in your death barring other abilities.
• Weaknesses
○ Your new body requires copious amounts of water to function and will become unable to move without it, though you will still remain conscious. Normally your body would be incapable of digesting food, but through the grace of CP, you can consume anything and gain energy from it.
○ While you are invulnerable to most human weapons, you can still be damaged by another unit. You are also still capable of feeling pain, though it is possible to power through it to counterattack or flee. Sufficient pain will instantly knock you unconscious, prompting the autopilot to take control.
○ Your new body is also highly intuitive to your wants and needs, capable of altering itself as needed. Examples include the aforementioned telekinetic bullets, done by making a gun gesture and a "bang" sound, though this is likely merely a way for the user to intuit the use of the weapon, whether than something necessary to its function, as the AI interprets and recreates the desired effect. This could even possibly be used to emulate a sniper rifle, by using your eyes to zoom in, and having your hands mime holding a rifle. This also means that the autopilot, and subsequently the body as a whole, will not do something that you would not do yourself. Though, the AI may know more about you than you do yourself.
○ The units do not appear to affect the user mentally through any means, and the aliens that made the unit do not appear to have any control over it. While your new body has many features, it is left for you to discover them on your own. The ease with which this is possible may depend on your personality.
• Extra
○ You have an extra A.I. system dedicated to the automatic use of your abilities. This allows you to set certain criteria for your abilities to activate. This allows you to set your abilities to automatically activate in certain situations as well as allowing them to always be on, without you having to think about them.
○ Additionally, these automatic and passive uses do not cause any drain on your energy, allowing them to be active indefinitely.
○ Subsequently, this gives you a kind of sixth sense, making you very hard to sneak up on. You can also integrate any weapons or tech you currently have into your body.
○ This works in future
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Roll - Extra Item - Martial: "Fencer Frame" from "Earth Defence Force 2025"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: A rather impressive power frame, wearing it doubles your size and weight, but most importantly augments your strength. Fencer's power frames allow them to carry up to four weapons at once, holding one in each hand, with weapons ranging from miniguns to shoulder-mounted missile launchers to tank cannons and artillery. It is, rather slow and hard to move in, but it can be equipped with boosters that allow for large jet-boosted leaps or quick dashes across the ground. Fencers start with a Blasthole Spear (an oversized pile bunker), a shield that can block and deploy a short-lived deflector field, and arm-mounted miniguns.﴿⦖⋙

Urk! I felt my entire body tense up and I screamed wordlessly as I threw my limbs outwards. My entire body begins to unfold into machinery briefly. I stumbled forwards albeit I managed to catch myself and I stood slowly upright. What the fuck was this Perk!? It turned me into some sort of machine made specifically for war. I think this Celestial Cultivation is asking me for something.
I cracked my neck briefly as something fell near me. Some sort of person wearing Victorian-esque clothing. I could tell that this person isn't Human but something else entirely. This person is also dead. Oh well. I've decided to absorb his Essence.
That's when I learn that this is a fucking bad idea. Why? Memories upon memories of that person are shoved into my head. Their personality, skills, and everything have become are now mine to behold. This person is an alchemist who left this place a long time ago. They returned to retake something of theirs that they left behind. They succeeded, but something went wrong as they were sent into space where they... fought laser-wielding sharks and a freaking cyborg samurai? What?
As the memories and skills settled in, my outfit changed to match that Alchemist's outfit, however, I don't have their mask. Wait... I just realized something. That mask that slipped from my face, its true identity is that of a creature known only as Vario. I've decided to create something immediately to make sure it sticks to my face. Done. This is a really nice mask. Oh hey. It allows me to drink as if the mask is on my face, meaning I don't have to move it. Nice.
Now then, the bottle is now empty. I threw it away. It isn't anything im- wait. I used my newly acquired power and extracted the Essence. Nice. I have gained two Essences from it. Container and Glass.
Okay, now what? Hmm... I think I should kill that robotic samurai and absorb him as well. Yep. Definitely doing that. Charging up my Anomalous power into movement, the ground cracked as I leaped from the ground before shooting like a rocket toward space. Unsheathing my sword with both my hands, I swung at the right moment, cutting the samurai in half vertically- no. I only slashed one of its arms.
The robotic samurai stared at me before noticing my mask. It brandished its weapon and vanished at an intense speed. But alas, I am also as fast as him. The two of us clashed blades and then the robotic samurai vanished once more. My senses told me that something is wrong in a certain direction and I swung in that direction. The samurai's long-ass samurai sword got a little shorter as a result of that. I also cut a planet in half, somehow.
Putting my blade in my left hand, I flew in another direction. I threw my right hand to release a mystical shockwave. The robotic samurai glitched out briefly before I landed on a nearby asteroid. I raised my sword and blocked the incoming blow. The robotic samurai is constantly shedding sparks and bits from its body. I released my blade and grabbed the hilt of their sword. With one swift motion, I sent forth a barrage of mystical projectiles in the shape of arrows.
The robotic samurai's remaining arm is removed. Immediately, I grabbed my blade and the samurai's curved blade, then I swung both weapons at the same time. The robotic samurai died immediately. Finally. That took a while.
I assimilated them immediately and I now know how to use the blade efficiently. My outfit also changed to a futuristic red-black bulky frame with a samurai-esque design. Somehow, it fucking works with my Victorian clothing. My frame also has extra robotic limbs that plucked my swords by the hilt before folding them on my back to store them. The limbs remind me of the robotic samurai's arms.
Summoning a Transmittance Disk from the Ark, that I forgot that I have, I threw it at the sun. Now, what? Hmm... decisions, decisions... Which world should I go to? Hmm? I remembered something. There's quite a nice world where some people going missing would never be questioned. Time to go to the world of Cyberpunk.
Putting all of my Anomalous Powers into Travel, I took a direction and threw myself into another world. I nearly stumbled but I regained my footing. It's raining in this world as well. I was about to leave when I heard a noise. I know that noise. A firearm. I turned towards the direction where the noise came from. I saw several wispy lights slowly swirling into me before they snaked inside my clothes and into my body. I saw a bulky man with a smoking shotgun. He is not as bulky as me, though, as I have gained more mass due to the Essences I have assimilated.
Searching through the net for info, I found who this person is. Lieutenant Colonel James Norris. Oof, that's nasty. Dishonorably Discharged for being too violent. Damn, that's a lot of bodies mangled everywhere. He then got the Cyberpsychosis in Night City and went on a rampage. The police have been called and they got pawned.
The bulky man charged at me whilst firing his weapons. Each time the bullets entered within 10 centimeters around me, they turned into wisps of light upon which I absorbed once more. Interesting he changed his attacks and went for melee. Unfortunately, in one swift motion, I grabbed my newly-claimed katana and swung whilst moving forwards. As I stepped behind him, I placed my katana back into my frame's limbs.
James Norris's head immediately fell before falling to the ground, shattering alongside his body into a bunch of wispy light that I absorbed into my body like always. I raised my hand and looked at the thing I grabbed from his spine and this weird chip called shard, at least that's what they called it on the local internet. Fascinating, I copied the spine's designs by scanning it and I walked to the nearest police officer.
Due to my size, he gulped before I slowly moved the hand where I held the mechanical spine and that shard. That officer shakily grabbed the two objects before I walked away, waving at them in farewell.
Looking at the local internet, wow. That was fast. I saw a few videos of myself facing off against James Norris and then they saw my attack. I can't help but whistle. I think I broke space-time itself as I am suddenly in multitudes in one moment, then whole in the next.
Not only that but they noticed the wispy light that I kept absorbing. People are mad speculating about it in the form of a newly-created forcefield of some kind where you absorb things to store damage and unleash that in a single attack. They also gave me a nickname, The Sword of Night City.
Little did I know, that this world will be Ravaged soon... As its God will smite the very world.
⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special CYOA: "Essence" from "Essence vs Form"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: You control Essence. With a touch, you can break down material objects into Essence, an incorporeal aura of light and patterns that embodies the conceptual traits of the object.

When Essence has been purified into a pure state, placing it into a new container, be it living or inanimate, grants that concept to the vessel.

You are also still capable of feeling pain, though it is possible to power through it to counterattack or flee. Sufficient pain will instantly knock you unconscious, prompting the autopilot to take control.
○ Your new body is also highly intuitive to your wants and needs, capable of altering itself as needed. Examples include the aforementioned telekinetic bullets, done by making a gun gesture and a "bang" sound, though this is likely merely a way for the user to intuit the use of the weapon, whether than something necessary to its function, as the AI interprets and recreates the desired effect. This could even possibly be used to emulate a sniper rifle, by using your eyes to zoom in, and having your hands mime holding a rifle. This also means that the autopilot, and subsequently the body as a whole, will not do something that you would not do yourself. Though, the AI may know more about you than you do yourself.
○ The units do not appear to affect the user mentally through any means, and the aliens that made the unit do not appear to have any control over it. While your new body has many features, it is left for you to discover them on your own. The ease with which this is possible may depend on your personality.
• Extra
○ You have an extra A.I. system dedicated to the automatic use of your abilities. This allows you to set certain criteria for your abilities to activate. This allows you to set your abilities to automatically activate in certain situations as well as allowing them to always be on, without you having to think about them.
○ Additionally, these automatic and passive uses do not cause any drain on your energy, allowing them to be active indefinitely.
○ Subsequently, this gives you a kind of sixth sense, making you very hard to sneak up on. You can also integrate any weapons or tech you currently have into your body.
○ This works in futurejumps worlds as well, allowing you to seamlessly integrate any new tech, or tech-like things, you come across.﴿⦖⋙

⋘⦕﴾Description: Despite all appearances, this is a world after the apocalypse. Countless secrets and wonders litter the planet, from vaults filled with armor and weapons that would allow a single man to take on entire armies to towering machines that can reach the stars above him. The ability to create all this and more is now available to you. Even the technology of the Deathless is now primitive to the wonders you could bring forth to the world. In terms of ingenuity, you stand as equal to the Worker of Secrets, the mythical figure said to be responsible for most of the wonders littered across the world. You may even surpass the legend himself with proper time and resources to hone and expand your craft.
Deathless Supercharged: Any technology you possess need no longer be used by such crude measures as physical. If you could build it yourself with the materials you have, then it will be automated and done by your will alone (either in your Warehouse or wherever you choose to keep your tools of creation) without you even lifting a finger. If you didn't before, you now also have the knowledge and the means to recreate the Deathless phenomenon en masse out of any number of mortals whom your splendor deems worthy. By your own will, the same technology can even be used to transport and recreate objects and energy. You are now immune to suffering true death through an Infinity Weapon or anything similar to it.﴿⦖⋙

⋘⦕﴾Supercharged Special Roll - Extra Maker Perk: "Robot Body" from "Inuyashiki"﴿⦖⋙
⋘⦕﴾Description: Also known as the Alien Weapon Unit, this is a body created by the aliens for the purposes of the two dead humans, now three. You were with the other two humans when they were killed, thus being restored with the same type of body. This changes your starting location automatically to the park where you were restored. Unfortunately not much is known about its capabilities, though what is known is detailed below.
• Immortality and Immunity
Your new body requires no maintenance on your behalf and is resilient enough to withstand conventional firearms and military-grade firearms, though maybe not tanks. You are also completely immune to human disease.
• Flight
Your body is capable of flight using a jetpack with two thrusters that fold out from your back. The altitude and the duration of flight are indefinite, including being space capable.
• Inhuman Strength
The strength of your body is enough to throw several people into the at once or to be able to lift multiple planes simultaneously without straining the host or causing damage to the plane. It is also capable of ripping out parts of a meteorite with ease.
• Direct Tech Interface
Your body is able to interface with any technological equipment. This includes accessing satellite links, cameras, both CCTV and personal, social media sites, and government databases. It is capable of remotely manipulating banking systems, automobiles, and seemingly all electronically connected screens. It is possible to extend your other powers through an electronic medium. It can locate a person provided they are in the vicinity of technological equipment such as a phone or computer. Other electronic devices like cell phones can be integrated into the body's system, with functional USB ports being replicated on the body. Of important note is that you cannot use this to interfere with another unit's functions. To give an idea of what this can do in conjunction with the onboard A.I., it can scan the faces of several people, some with their faces half turned away or with their backs turned, comb through the internet to find their identities, and post that info along with a previously auto-recorded video, all in the span of 30 seconds.
• Healing
You are capable of curing all kinds of wounds and diseases in living beings, including animals. You can also resurrect something that is recently deceased. It is unknown if you can reverse the effects of aging. This is done either by touch or by placing both hands above the body.
• Enhanced Sight and Hearing
You are capable of hearing all sounds within a large range, limited only by your audio processing capacities, and seeing clearly within a radius of 100 km.
• Simulation/A.I.
Due to your mind inhabiting what is essentially a supercomputer, you are capable of running extremely fast and accurate simulations in order to determine the outcome of an event, provided you have enough input data, though this is relatively easy, as the advanced A.I. you now possess automatically scans and records any relevant data you might need, including for things you haven't thought of yet.
• Overcharge
An ability that can only be used sparingly, this can instantly repair your body from major damage & power up your systems, and overcharge the supercomputer to increase your strength, reinforce your structure, and increase your flight boost for a short period of time. This can cause a non-boosted unit to destroy its arm from punching you, with you capable of easily punching through and destroying a part of its chest.
• Autopilot
○ When you fall unconscious due to damage or extreme trauma, the center of your processing unit will assume control of your body and will neutralize any remaining hostiles present in your vicinity. This takes the form of a camera that protrudes somewhere out of your body.
• Built-in Weapons
There are four known kinds of weapons in the unit.
○ Multi Laser Ray and Multi Rockets
Usually activated when unconscious. These can be used as a non-lethal method of crippling an opponent or used as an explosive-guided laser ray. They can be activated outside autopilot by exposing the weapon hidden in your body. These lasers can be directed and course corrected. Alternatively, you can have mini multi rockets, which you can control the directions of through your supercomputer. These rockets can cause an explosive impact and require a few seconds to reload before firing them again.
○ Invisible Laser Weapon
Like a laser ray but doesn't make any sound or leave any trace of light or gunpowder. Can be activated without exposing the interior part of the robot. The laser is also able to travel through multiple screens to shoot from a safe distance. As long as you are facing someone, including through a screen, whether or not you can see them, it will affect them as though you shot them in person. It can also be used like telekinetic bullets, used like a regular handgun, or a full-automatic rifle. It also functions as a cutting beam.
○ Arm Cannon
A large, long cannon is located inside both of your arms. When activated, the arm cannon is exposed from the arm. The arm cannons can do a massive amount of damage, creating small craters around an area, and can even vaporize strong materials such as metal. The arm cannons require a few seconds to charge up before it's ready to fire. They can be activated at any time.
○ Self-Destruct Mechanism
As the name implies, you are capable of self-destructing yourself, destroying yourself, and producing an explosion bigger than a nuclear missile while also creating a blinding light that could be seen from thousands of miles away. The activation sequence requires you to push both of your eyes inward and it takes a few seconds to go off. One of these explosions can destroy half an asteroid that is half the size of the Earth. Obviously, this will result in your death barring other abilities.
• Weaknesses
○ Your new body requires copious amounts of water to function and will become unable to move without it, though you will still remain conscious. Normally your body would be incapable of digesting food, but through the grace of CP, you can consume anything and gain energy from it.
○ While you are invulnerable to most human weapons, you can still be damaged by another unit. You are also still capable of feeling pain, though it is possible to power through it to counterattack or flee. Sufficient pain will instantly knock you unconscious, prompting the autopilot to take control.
○ Your new body is also highly intuitive to your wants and needs, capable of altering itself as needed. Examples include the aforementioned telekinetic bullets, done by making a gun gesture and a "bang" sound, though this is likely merely a way for the user to intuit the use of the weapon, whether than something necessary to its function, as the AI interprets and recreates the desired effect. This could even possibly be used to emulate a sniper rifle, by using your eyes to zoom in, and having your hands mime holding a rifle. This also means that the autopilot, and subsequently the body as a whole, will not do something that you would not do yourself. Though, the AI may know more about you than you do yourself.
○ The units do not appear to affect the user mentally through any means, and the aliens that made the unit do not appear to have any control over it. While your new body has many features, it is left for you to discover them on your own. The ease with which this is possible may depend on your personality.
• Extra
○ You have an extra A.I. system dedicated to the automatic use of your abilities. This allows you to set certain criteria for your abilities to activate. This allows you to set your abilities to automatically activate in certain situations as well as allowing them to always be on, without you having to think about them.
○ Additionally, these automatic and passive uses do not cause any drain on your energy, allowing them to be active indefinitely.
○ Subsequently, this gives you a kind of sixth sense, making you very hard to sneak up on. You can also integrate any weapons or tech you currently have into your body.
○ This works in future

[Nomads-Verse] Nomads from Out There (Essence CYOA Multi-SI, Multicross)
- Location
- Earth, Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy
Edgerunners are edgy, 'nuff said... Time to crack it up a bit~, along with some other series as well.
When I got here into this world, I took the liberty of building a base. Outside the most important city here. Yes. What is its name? Night City. I know right? Fucking original. This is why I named my base, Day City, and ensure that this place always looks like the sun is always up but dimming at the night. How? Copious amounts of illusions. Like so many illusions, reality itself is running it to be true. Good thing that its range is limited to only the outskirts, otherwise there will be problems.
Technically, I just copied The City from Lobotomy Corp and then slapped it with life-like illusions, but that's beside the point. The point is, I did it for the pun. The City. The City. Day City. It's a nice pun and only the ones who came from Lobotomy Corp, that somehow got here, know the pun. They hated it.
Why, again, you may ask? Why make this city when I'm overpowered? To spite everyone from Night City and the fact that this city is always daytime instead of a normal day-night cycle like what the Night City has. That got fixed when I took it years ago. Now it is shrouded in perpetual night-time like what the Day City has. Somehow, plants grow there. People are quite confused about why the plants still grow even when it is still night-time. I am also confused as I didn't make the plants there to grow at night time.
As for the people, I looked outside my opened window as I raised the new product. "Greetings, people of Day City! Your glorious leader, the Mayor, now informs you that thanks to a fuckton of testing by a few selected specialists. A new product will hit the nearest vending machines in droves!" I shouted as the light above dimmed to let everyone know this thing in my hand glowed.
"Nuka-Cola Quantum!" A lightning sound effect is heard briefly everywhere as the vending machines got auto-updated to get them. "It glows blue because it's fucking delicious!" I continued. "That's all." I removed the cap of the bottle and took a sip as the window closed. Notably, because the cheers are freaking loud.
Unlike Night City, crime isn't that rampant. After all, what's the point of killing one another when the New You Machines will constantly resurrect you until you die of natural causes? Cyberpsychosis isn't a natural cause of death after all in Day City. Then again, we did find a cure for it.
Oh right, Rapture Incorporated from the 'R' Wing District created the New You System. I secretly made that after the 'J' Wing invented Jump-Tech, allowing people to go to other worlds. Unfortunately, the New You Machines will only recreate people biologically as the last time we tried replicating a person with the implants... The entire science division of all wings is traumatized. They are still going to therapists even after 57 years has passed.
After realizing my city has the immortality stuff that he wants, Saburo Arasaka decided to get the entirety of the 'C' Wing District for Arasaka usage. Thus removing a lot of things in the equation known as fate. Due to his decision, the nuclear bomb never goes off in 2020. Notably, the Blackwall itself stopped it before moving in to seduce the AI that I have created whom I named after the White Tower in Lord of the Rings. Yes. Her name is Minas-Tirith. Now named Ms. Blackwall.
In 2042, I bought the entirety of Night City due to their people migrating into my Day City in droves because of free healthcare. The migrated Ripperdocs are also trained up to the normal 'mundane' standards and are allowed to have their own clinics in each wing because crimes are still there, just that murder is no longer an issue. It also caused certain Gangs to take over a single Wing District but the Head remains at the top. He is a Necron Construct that the Blackwall uses on a day-to-day basis in the material world. The Head has a lot of AIs under Minas-Tirith's employ. Almost all of them are the Rogue AIs that some morons released to the world but now they are subsumed by the Greater Machine Overmind that I created in 2022.
Due to death not being an issue, the Councils of Day and Night created a coliseum where Gangs could fight in an 'honorary' fashion. Technically they can still kill one another outside of it, but cleaning their leftover bodies with their implants is quite a pain for everyone. They all petitioned to make a place where they can all fight and figure out how to deal with the bodies they left behind. Then people paid to see them fight. Thus a coliseum was made instead of a large arena. The coliseum also has a terrain generator so Gangs and Wings could have new things to fight in every now and then.
I was about to finish my Nuka-Cola Quantum when the 'M' Wing District is immediately placed on Alert Mode. What the hell? I summoned up the feeds for that Wing District and blinked my eyes twice. Is that white-haired organic woman being chased by a bunch of people riding horses? Yep, and now she's down for the count.
Hmm... I was about to notify the Gang operating for that Wing when I saw someone knocking out those people. Wasn't that the Martinez kid from Santo Domingo? What's his name again? Ah, David. Dave from Maine's Crew. The crew that took the 'M' Wing as per agreement with me and the Council of Night. The Modifiers' Wing. That Wing District is where the majority of the borged-up people are located.
Narrowing my eyes briefly, I saw the Sandevistan implant on his back. That's Prometheus Labs-grade Sandevistan. How the fuck did he get that? Oh. He saved the money to replace his old Sandevistan after Prometheus Labs revealed their new Sandevistan Implant that they worked with the 'S' Wing. Everyone wants it but the amount of Eddies they need is staggeringly high. You can just go to the Oort Cloud and back several times with that amount of money. In fact, you can just tour the entirety of the Milky Way with that amount of money.
David is now speaking with the woman who looks confused. He sighed and begin calling... me? I answered the call immediately.
"The Ever-Glorious Mayor of Day City is here answering your call!" I greeted him in a sickeningly cheerful voice, causing Dave to groan immediately. "This is a new phone, who's this?"
"Are you joking with me, right now?" Dave twitched his eye.
"Yep. Also, watch your back." As soon as I said that, Dave caught an arrow from one of the riders before throwing it back to where it came from. I heard a grunt of pain before a thud.
"Thanks. I have one Illegal Traveler here on the 'M' Wing. Pure organic female. Not registering as purely human in my scans. Anything I should do about it?" He asked. I chuckled.
"Well, if you scanned her. You should take responsibility." I smiled. "Take it slow first. You don't want her to panic. Then take her on a date-"
"LIKE HELL I WANNA DO THAT! My girlfriend's gonna kill me if she finds out!" Dave shouted on his end, which left me guffawing with laughter. It took a while for me to stop laughing, but that still left me chuckling a little bit.
"Ah yes. The one who works for Prometheus Labs on the Moon. I heard she got a promotion coming up." I grabbed a floating panel where it switch into an article about his girlfriend, Lucy. Such a shame that the portals that we have made still have a 24-hour delay to recharge due to how people complained about portal sickness, and that is the safest option other than ripping their QIPs or Souls a tiny bit each time they go to the portal. Note to self, get new portal schematics from Prometheus Tech-Overlord ASAP. It would've been hilarious to see people popping in and out.
Oh hey, the ninja-garbed Necron Constructs appeared and are now tying up those riders.
"Of course, she did. She always wanted to go to the- wait. Did you just make me sidetracked so they can sneakily get here?" He said whilst pointing at the ninja Necrons.
"Of course. They are that good at stealth after... Wait, where did they go?" I can't help but act gobsmacked at the Ninja Necrons disappearing using a smoke bomb. They also get the riders as well. I looked at the other feeds and saw that the riders are now in the almost-empty prison.
Seriously, why does everyone obeys the rules in Day City more than the rules in Night City? Was it because of the lack of good cameras there or something?
"What the!? Where did they go!?" David asked and he has gotten a surprised expression on his face.
"At the prison. Damn, they work fast." I answered his question. I whistled at how fast they worked. Turns out that giving the Necron Constructs with Sandevistan in their standards is horrifying. Speedy Necrons are something not to scoff at.
"So what am I going to do with her?" I sighed at his new question. I went to my desk and sit down. I groaned at the amount of paperwork stacked on my table.
"Don't look at me. I have a stack of paperwork from the Head of Night City that I must do. Go ask Maine or something. He's the head of your wing. Now..." I donned my usual grin. "You better put the call down. Your charges might be used up, again."
"Why do people even get charged when calling you?" He asked. "Shouldn't calling you be free?
"Because I am super popular," I replied, before pausing briefly. "And we're in a super-capitalist country. Meaning even emergency services are charged as well." He groaned at my continuation.
The woman stared at Dave incredulously before clearing her throat. "Um... Greetings, could you tell me where I am?" She asked.
"You're in the Day City, otherwise known as the City of the Eternal Morning," I replied, causing her to blink in confusion about why the sound came from everywhere near her.
"What?" Dave asked before I relayed to him what she said. "Wait, how the hell did you know her language!?"
"Who's the guy responsible for interdimensional travel? Whether through portal tech or something else entirely? Like walking in a single direction?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow. The Martinez kid groaned whilst face-palming.
"Get her to the nearest Lab so she'll get fitted with a separate translator module. Use sign language and body language to translate what you need to do until the module is given." I was about to end the call when I remembered something. "Also, consider yourself a temporary Jaunt Wing Personnel on this stunt. Until then..." I gave myself a devilish grin, reality itself glitching briefly to cause the sun to open many eyes on its surface before blinking rhythmically and then closing the eyes once more. "Good Luck, Sandevistan of Santo Domingo." Then the call ended.
I held my Eldritch nature at bay before doing the paperwork. Nothing is more cathartic than doing such a mundane thing. Besides, this is going to be an interesting story to write about in a book.
The door to my office was slammed open and my secretary, Rebecca, strode like the little gremlin she is. "Boss, the weird-looking people are heavily interrogated by the Obsidian Coffin Dancers." She groaned at the name, just like always. "Why? Why did those things have to be titled with that awful name? Why?"
I ignored her, like always, then grinned like the Devil I am. "My, my... the OCD is quite active today. They, too, are quite horrifying." I skimmed the important parts of the paper in front of me then I stamped it. I placed it in the finished paperwork section on my desk, which is now as tall as the table when it is planted vertically.
Rebecca placed the palm of her hand to her face. Repeatedly. Nice, I'm on a roll today.
I wonder what are the others up to this time? A quick check via my Akashic Records... He has reincarnated already!? What the fuck... Oh well. Once a Nomad, always a Nomad. I grinned and I raised my bottle. "Well without further ado, let the game begin anew," I whispered softly to the wind, knowing it won't be received by that person. It's now for me, The Emperor, to set the stage once again. "May the Tarot Club leads us all..."
I opened my eyes immediately and I looked around in search of enemies. Huh? None? Strange, but not that strange. Are they hiding? No. They aren't. I slowly stood up and stretched. My back popped back into its shape as I turned around me. I grabbed my weapon and pulled it before placing it on its sheathe in my back.
What is my weapon, you ask? It was basically Guts' sword. That giant hunk of iron is called Dragonslayer. Well, it was. I've upgraded it so much that I don't think it is just a Dragonslayer but an Allslayer now. But it still retains its name, though. To honor that Berserker who killed the Idea of Evil. However, due to my large, bulky size, this weapon is a longsword instead of a huge one.
Anyways, where I am? I have no clue. I just walked in a direction and I just traveled to where I got the sensation of being pulled. Damn, this snowstorm is annoying. But none of that.
As I went onward, I found myself looking at a facility of some kind. Chaldea, huh? Maybe, it will hold answers for me.
There was a loud sound and suddenly spotlights are turned on. The spotlights slowly turned in my direction. I covered my eyes briefly before realizing despite the brightness, I can still see through that normally.
Sighing, I raised both my hands and shouted. "Denizens of this strange-looking abode. I request shelter until Demeter's Winter passes by." I waited for their answer.
I heard a screech of sonorous static before I heard a masculine voice. "Who are you and what are you doing outside of Chaldea?" The voice inquired.
"I am merely a humble Nomad, a Samaritan in some other cases. But nonetheless, an old, weary wanderer." I replied. That was technically the truth. Then again, certain people told me that is quite a thing whenever they introduce themselves to other people. "This blasted snowstorm made from Demeter's ire is causing me problems in directions for the lights of Cosmos aren't here to guide me." I continued. Drat, I shouldn't put that limitation on this life. But alas, having infinite power is quite boring sometimes.
"I see. Wait, did you say Demeter!?" The voice blurted out in a shocked tone.
"Yes? Why?" Huh? Did they not know of Her Grace?
"Demeter, as in the Grecian Goddess of Fertility?" The voice asked once more. I blinked in confusion at what they said.
"No. You must've thought of another Demeter. The one I'm referring to is Her Grace, Gabriel Demeter. The Sorcerous Goddess of the Cosmic Storms, the Voice of the Planetes, and the Magician of the Fourth Magic from the Golden Era." There was a loud crackle in a sonorous static before I heard metallic hinges slowly being turned. "This very storm is just one of her ire's that she sent against everyone in one of her tantrums, again." I continued as the very storm slowly gained more force than before.
I saw a woman with purple hair. She is wearing some sort of clothing similar to those people found in Orleans. "Get in."
I hurriedly go inside, careful not to bump my horned helmet on the door frame. She closed the door and then turned to me. She seems surprised. I think I know why. I am wearing a complete replica of King Hassan's armor. However, due to my cloak, the armor isn't visible from afar.
"I thank thee, young maiden." I bowed my head briefly to her.
"Uh. Um… The snowstorm hasn't let up, huh?" Huh? Oh, she's attempting to chat with me. Oh, who cares. Let's give it a go, I guess?
"Indeed, young one. The Sorcerous Goddess's Ire is one that affects all words regardless if they are not supposed to be snowing or even having water, to begin with." I spoke with a chuckle. "But of course, being the middle child in the Cosmic Pantheon does that to her. Especially for the fact that I am the one responsible for her Father's death to begin with."
Okay, now she's having a strange expression. "No. I didn't kill him. He gave his position up willingly and gave me all of His powers. Passing of the torch to a new Lord of Heaven and Earth, He says. However, as I am not used to His power yet, I am not on His level yet." The more I talk, the stranger her expression becomes. Meh. Not my problem.
My walk throughout these halls is a rather somber experience. I did find this place quite derelict. Nothing like a large-scale reality warping can't fix. But alas, I temporarily locked that out as I tend to go nuts with power.
As I was about to go to another corridor I stopped. I turned around. Huh? She didn't follow me? Strange. Hmm… What's that?
I walked towards what I saw, that thing. It's an ethereal blue orb. It looks like this planet from afar. I recognize the continents but I could feel something within them. As I was to reach in, I heard someone nearby shouting out loud.
"Wait! Don't touch it!" I turned to look. It's that purple-haired woman again. Oh well, I touched it and I could feel something-no. I could feel a hand. I grabbed that hand and pulled. Out came a… White-haired woman? Huh?
"Eep!" The white-haired woman squeaked out before she fell to the floor. The purple-haired woman's expression is quite strange again. Sighing, I rubbed the back of my helmet with my other free hand. I could never understand women unlike the Mayor of Day City, who is one of my predecessors.
Then I heard numerous footsteps by the hall then someone nearly slipped as they stopped on one of the doorways here. I saw a man with white hair panting and I heard the purple girl uttering under their breath. "Impossible."
"Did we fucking win?" The white-haired man spoke in between breaths.
"What the..."
"...fuck. Lostbelt scenario thanks to our own fucking people." The white-haired woman, Olga, spoke with a grimace.
It appears that I am at an impasse. Turns out, two of the people here are dead. The purple-haired one is still in shock at what just happened. No big deal for me, seen many people get revived over and over again. Thanks, Day City, you've ruined death for all of us. Anyways, we are now sitting at a circular table.
"Did you know that Thoth's name when written, spells out Owo?" I said with a chuckle as one of the people on the table groaned knowing what was going to happen next. "When they speak, 'Thoth, what's this?'. They meant 'Owo, what's this?'," I grinned as I heard a bleating goat nearby.
Heads turned towards the white-haired man, Solomon, as he begins to slam his head on the table repeatedly.
I gasped and sat upright immediately at the strange dream. I could feel that who I am truly has been irrevocably changed. I looked around and blinked in confusion. I'm still in my room, and that's a really weird dream.
…
Huh? What's this? True Monarch Yellow Mountain sent a friend request to me. Okay…? I guess I will accept. Done. I accepted. He must've been one of my classmates. Oh, he invited me to a group called, "Nine Provinces Number One Group". I tilted my head in confusion before shrugging. I accepted again.
Hmm… They are a bunch of weeaboos who think they are cultivators, aren't they? Yep, they are. For some reason, I accepted that as a fact. I read for a while before noticing that whenever my eyes closed, I see everything slowly blur. Hrnh… So sleepy~…
I see a lonely figure of a tree staring at the vast emptiness. It has three eyes. Two normal ones, and one on its forehead. The left eye is a red spiraling kaleidoscope. The right eye is akin to a pale-white star imitating a flower. The eye on its forehead is glowing ethereally. It gazed upon itself and uttered. "Let there be light… and also darkness… I think. Or was it dankness? Not sure. But still…" Then there was light, darkness, and also dankness.
I snapped awake immediately and I noticed the clock. Huh? It's just an hour from now. Oh. They added me wrongly. Not only that but this Yellow Mountain guy kept getting errors whenever he is trying to divine my existence. Then there's the fact that he accidentally added the wrong person. Apparently, he is trying to get someone named Soft Feather to join this chat group.
Oh.
…
He added another wrong person. Is he… half-asleep or something? Eh, who cares. I've decided to sleep some more. It isn't like this is important or anything... right?
Looking at the new life's work right before me, I can't help but smile. Finally, it took a while. Huh? What's that, my dear readers of Narratives? Who I am? I am merely a humble nomad, a Samaritan if you will. But now? Now, I'm a mayor.When I got here into this world, I took the liberty of building a base. Outside the most important city here. Yes. What is its name? Night City. I know right? Fucking original. This is why I named my base, Day City, and ensure that this place always looks like the sun is always up but dimming at the night. How? Copious amounts of illusions. Like so many illusions, reality itself is running it to be true. Good thing that its range is limited to only the outskirts, otherwise there will be problems.
Technically, I just copied The City from Lobotomy Corp and then slapped it with life-like illusions, but that's beside the point. The point is, I did it for the pun. The City. The City. Day City. It's a nice pun and only the ones who came from Lobotomy Corp, that somehow got here, know the pun. They hated it.
Why, again, you may ask? Why make this city when I'm overpowered? To spite everyone from Night City and the fact that this city is always daytime instead of a normal day-night cycle like what the Night City has. That got fixed when I took it years ago. Now it is shrouded in perpetual night-time like what the Day City has. Somehow, plants grow there. People are quite confused about why the plants still grow even when it is still night-time. I am also confused as I didn't make the plants there to grow at night time.
As for the people, I looked outside my opened window as I raised the new product. "Greetings, people of Day City! Your glorious leader, the Mayor, now informs you that thanks to a fuckton of testing by a few selected specialists. A new product will hit the nearest vending machines in droves!" I shouted as the light above dimmed to let everyone know this thing in my hand glowed.
"Nuka-Cola Quantum!" A lightning sound effect is heard briefly everywhere as the vending machines got auto-updated to get them. "It glows blue because it's fucking delicious!" I continued. "That's all." I removed the cap of the bottle and took a sip as the window closed. Notably, because the cheers are freaking loud.
Unlike Night City, crime isn't that rampant. After all, what's the point of killing one another when the New You Machines will constantly resurrect you until you die of natural causes? Cyberpsychosis isn't a natural cause of death after all in Day City. Then again, we did find a cure for it.
Oh right, Rapture Incorporated from the 'R' Wing District created the New You System. I secretly made that after the 'J' Wing invented Jump-Tech, allowing people to go to other worlds. Unfortunately, the New You Machines will only recreate people biologically as the last time we tried replicating a person with the implants... The entire science division of all wings is traumatized. They are still going to therapists even after 57 years has passed.
After realizing my city has the immortality stuff that he wants, Saburo Arasaka decided to get the entirety of the 'C' Wing District for Arasaka usage. Thus removing a lot of things in the equation known as fate. Due to his decision, the nuclear bomb never goes off in 2020. Notably, the Blackwall itself stopped it before moving in to seduce the AI that I have created whom I named after the White Tower in Lord of the Rings. Yes. Her name is Minas-Tirith. Now named Ms. Blackwall.
In 2042, I bought the entirety of Night City due to their people migrating into my Day City in droves because of free healthcare. The migrated Ripperdocs are also trained up to the normal 'mundane' standards and are allowed to have their own clinics in each wing because crimes are still there, just that murder is no longer an issue. It also caused certain Gangs to take over a single Wing District but the Head remains at the top. He is a Necron Construct that the Blackwall uses on a day-to-day basis in the material world. The Head has a lot of AIs under Minas-Tirith's employ. Almost all of them are the Rogue AIs that some morons released to the world but now they are subsumed by the Greater Machine Overmind that I created in 2022.
Due to death not being an issue, the Councils of Day and Night created a coliseum where Gangs could fight in an 'honorary' fashion. Technically they can still kill one another outside of it, but cleaning their leftover bodies with their implants is quite a pain for everyone. They all petitioned to make a place where they can all fight and figure out how to deal with the bodies they left behind. Then people paid to see them fight. Thus a coliseum was made instead of a large arena. The coliseum also has a terrain generator so Gangs and Wings could have new things to fight in every now and then.
I was about to finish my Nuka-Cola Quantum when the 'M' Wing District is immediately placed on Alert Mode. What the hell? I summoned up the feeds for that Wing District and blinked my eyes twice. Is that white-haired organic woman being chased by a bunch of people riding horses? Yep, and now she's down for the count.
Hmm... I was about to notify the Gang operating for that Wing when I saw someone knocking out those people. Wasn't that the Martinez kid from Santo Domingo? What's his name again? Ah, David. Dave from Maine's Crew. The crew that took the 'M' Wing as per agreement with me and the Council of Night. The Modifiers' Wing. That Wing District is where the majority of the borged-up people are located.
Narrowing my eyes briefly, I saw the Sandevistan implant on his back. That's Prometheus Labs-grade Sandevistan. How the fuck did he get that? Oh. He saved the money to replace his old Sandevistan after Prometheus Labs revealed their new Sandevistan Implant that they worked with the 'S' Wing. Everyone wants it but the amount of Eddies they need is staggeringly high. You can just go to the Oort Cloud and back several times with that amount of money. In fact, you can just tour the entirety of the Milky Way with that amount of money.
David is now speaking with the woman who looks confused. He sighed and begin calling... me? I answered the call immediately.
"The Ever-Glorious Mayor of Day City is here answering your call!" I greeted him in a sickeningly cheerful voice, causing Dave to groan immediately. "This is a new phone, who's this?"
"Are you joking with me, right now?" Dave twitched his eye.
"Yep. Also, watch your back." As soon as I said that, Dave caught an arrow from one of the riders before throwing it back to where it came from. I heard a grunt of pain before a thud.
"Thanks. I have one Illegal Traveler here on the 'M' Wing. Pure organic female. Not registering as purely human in my scans. Anything I should do about it?" He asked. I chuckled.
"Well, if you scanned her. You should take responsibility." I smiled. "Take it slow first. You don't want her to panic. Then take her on a date-"
"LIKE HELL I WANNA DO THAT! My girlfriend's gonna kill me if she finds out!" Dave shouted on his end, which left me guffawing with laughter. It took a while for me to stop laughing, but that still left me chuckling a little bit.
"Ah yes. The one who works for Prometheus Labs on the Moon. I heard she got a promotion coming up." I grabbed a floating panel where it switch into an article about his girlfriend, Lucy. Such a shame that the portals that we have made still have a 24-hour delay to recharge due to how people complained about portal sickness, and that is the safest option other than ripping their QIPs or Souls a tiny bit each time they go to the portal. Note to self, get new portal schematics from Prometheus Tech-Overlord ASAP. It would've been hilarious to see people popping in and out.
Oh hey, the ninja-garbed Necron Constructs appeared and are now tying up those riders.
"Of course, she did. She always wanted to go to the- wait. Did you just make me sidetracked so they can sneakily get here?" He said whilst pointing at the ninja Necrons.
"Of course. They are that good at stealth after... Wait, where did they go?" I can't help but act gobsmacked at the Ninja Necrons disappearing using a smoke bomb. They also get the riders as well. I looked at the other feeds and saw that the riders are now in the almost-empty prison.
Seriously, why does everyone obeys the rules in Day City more than the rules in Night City? Was it because of the lack of good cameras there or something?
"What the!? Where did they go!?" David asked and he has gotten a surprised expression on his face.
"At the prison. Damn, they work fast." I answered his question. I whistled at how fast they worked. Turns out that giving the Necron Constructs with Sandevistan in their standards is horrifying. Speedy Necrons are something not to scoff at.
"So what am I going to do with her?" I sighed at his new question. I went to my desk and sit down. I groaned at the amount of paperwork stacked on my table.
"Don't look at me. I have a stack of paperwork from the Head of Night City that I must do. Go ask Maine or something. He's the head of your wing. Now..." I donned my usual grin. "You better put the call down. Your charges might be used up, again."
"Why do people even get charged when calling you?" He asked. "Shouldn't calling you be free?
"Because I am super popular," I replied, before pausing briefly. "And we're in a super-capitalist country. Meaning even emergency services are charged as well." He groaned at my continuation.

"Who's the guy responsible for interdimensional travel? Whether through portal tech or something else entirely? Like walking in a single direction?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow. The Martinez kid groaned whilst face-palming.
"Get her to the nearest Lab so she'll get fitted with a separate translator module. Use sign language and body language to translate what you need to do until the module is given." I was about to end the call when I remembered something. "Also, consider yourself a temporary Jaunt Wing Personnel on this stunt. Until then..." I gave myself a devilish grin, reality itself glitching briefly to cause the sun to open many eyes on its surface before blinking rhythmically and then closing the eyes once more. "Good Luck, Sandevistan of Santo Domingo." Then the call ended.
I held my Eldritch nature at bay before doing the paperwork. Nothing is more cathartic than doing such a mundane thing. Besides, this is going to be an interesting story to write about in a book.
The door to my office was slammed open and my secretary, Rebecca, strode like the little gremlin she is. "Boss, the weird-looking people are heavily interrogated by the Obsidian Coffin Dancers."

I grinned and I raised my bottle. "Well without further ado, let the game begin anew," I whispered softly to the wind, knowing it won't be received by that person. It's now for me, The Emperor, to set the stage once again. "May the Tarot Club leads us all..."

I gasped and sat upright immediately at the strange dream. I could feel that who I am truly has been irrevocably changed. I looked around and blinked in confusion. I'm still in my room, and that's a really weird dream.
…
Huh? What's this? True Monarch Yellow Mountain sent a friend request to me. Okay…? I guess I will accept. Done. I accepted. He must've been one of my classmates. Oh, he invited me to a group called, "Nine Provinces Number One Group". I tilted my head in confusion before shrugging. I accepted again.
Hmm… They are a bunch of weeaboos who think they are cultivators, aren't they? Yep, they are. For some reason, I accepted that as a fact. I read for a while before noticing that whenever my eyes closed, I see everything slowly blur. Hrnh… So sleepy~…

Apparently, he is trying to get someone named Soft Feather to join this chat group.
Oh.
…
He added another wrong person. Is he… half-asleep or something? Eh, who cares. I've decided to sleep some more. It isn't like this is important or anything... right?

[Transform and Crack Out!] Space-faring shenanigans of Lord and Captain Megatronus (Transformers/Multicross, Crack Mildly Taken Seriously, Space-Pirate!Megatron SI and Stealth-SI!Shockwave)

Prologue Arc: Two-eyed Shockwave isn't real, he can't- oh Primus, he is real, RUN!
"This is a message to Primus, WHY!?" 0.1
"This is a message to Primus, WHY!?" 0.1
Ah, weary data readers. Welcome. I am Nova Prime. Today, we're going to observe the cursed timeline where Shockwave has two eyes. Truly horrifying... It all started when Shockwave had a logical idea. Had a very logical idea. Since he only has one eye to view things, might as well upgrade them into two eyes in order for him to logically gaze better. But alas, things quickly spiral out of control... Or as Shockwave says, "Chaos reigned supreme, Order is lost, I have WON!"

-=|PoV: Starscream|=-
I looked in horror as I saw him. I, Starscream, looked at that thing in front of me. It is hideous. I tried to scream, but my vocal functions didn't work. It couldn't work due to the horror I saw in this frame. When Lord and Captain Megatron told me that he had found a Quartermaster for our ship, I didn't believe it was that important... It is. It's that important.
I told Knockout about it when I was free from my daily operations. He seemed to chuckle and told me. "Don't worry, Starscream. Two-Eyed Shockwave isn't real, he can't hurt you." Then the door is kicked open.
"Are you sure about that?" By Primus. His voice. It's menacing...
"Oh my GOD!" Little did I know, this was the moment that Knockout became religious after this.
Knockout joined me in fearing this hideous being of unfathomable terror. Whenever I spoke to Lord and Captain Megatron about this, he seemed to nonchalantly joke around about the matter.
"Two-eyed Shockwave? Our Quartermaster seemed to be obsessed with having more than one eye." That is the first time he dismissed that matter.
"Why are you afraid of him? He just wants to gaze more logically." Captain Megatron joked. JOKED! Is he high on Dark Energon again? Is the Dank God Unicron hacking him to prank the new Prime by annoying him with the accursed words, "We're trying to reach you for your car's extended warranty"? What even is a car!?
"Chaos, chaos, let it rain~." Captain Megatron sang when he watered those organic florae that he got from a place called... Ie-Yarth. Truly a horrible place. We saw those organic Predacons mating with the so-called Dinosaurs. Lord and Captain Megatron seem to affably point it out like always.
Whatever is inside Lord and Captain Megatron's head is truly horrifying... Which... is why... I should follow him loyally above all else! All hail Lord and Captain Megatronus! May his Spark reign as the King of the Pirates!
-=|PoV: Lord and Captain Megatron|=-
SHIT! Shitshitshitshitfuckshitfuckfuck! Starscream is going to betray me soon! I fucking knew it! I should've studied the lore more in the wiki to know more about his personality and weaknesses!
I should've known that Megatron is far older than he looks like! Now that I'm Megatron, I've decided to be a Pirate Captain after I liberated the Gladiators and caused the largest rebellion on Cybertron. With us winning barely due to Orion Pax joining us at the last second and somehow becoming the next Prime in the process, causing the rampant Piracy problems of the new government in Cybertron. That is until Orion retired to Cybertron and accidentally became its new leader.
Starscream is upon me. I swear, he is eyeing me for weaknesses. It's a good thing that I have Shockwave, my closest and most loyal confidant, and my fucking roommate, watching my back most of the time... It is oddly terrifying to consider that HE HAS TWO EYES IN THIS UNIVERSE! Oh god, or rather OH PRIMUS, it's terrifying. If One-Eyed Shockwave is worse than Hitler, now imagine what Two-Eyed Shockwave can do. Truly the most horrifying scenario.
-=|PoV: Shockwave the Two-Eyed Abomination|=-
I wonder what happens if I merge this puppy with this plant? It would be fucking CHAOTIC!

After re-watching The Greatest American Hero, this mental muse won't leave my mind. Expect a lot of 1900s shows to be referenced at some point. Unfortunately, I ran out of good braincells to complete it. So it is stuck in this state. I plan to return to finish it at some point in the future.

[M9]
What do you see in the cosmos? Can you see the threads of woven space-time? No? I see, you haven't gotten that far yet. Who am I? I am Magnus. I am the 1337th iteration of the Cosmic Oracle. I see worlds traveling in this harmonic omniverse far and wide. I am also a dedicated wanderer from time to time.
Join me, oh listener, to this fantastic tale of how all the cosmic iota of incidental heroism brought something greater than what people ever thought of. How has it begun? Well, it all started, believe it or not, with a simple call from beyond the stars!
[LxL]
It was a quiet trek on the road when the car suddenly depowered. The quietness let me remember the days I spent as an intern—my trail of thoughts was interrupted when the radio came alive, even when my car was unkeyed. I tried leaving, but the car was somehow locked. Great.
"You, The Man At The Car," the radio blared out. "You Will Listen," it continued. "You Must Decide." Then a familiar voice emanated from the radio.
"Lex." There was a pause. "Hello, Lex." This voice... Ivo?
"Ivo, is that you?" I asked.
"Lex, I'm at the spaceship. It's beautiful up here." Ivo chuckled briefly. "Now, the folks here want you and someone else to work for them. They want that certain someone to accept this gift which contains these unearthly powers. It will work only for that certain someone, no one else. Not even a clone or them from other worlds."
"Suit? Worlds? What are you talking about, Ivo!?" I shouted as I attempted to get out of my car again. It didn't work. I gave up at this point.
"There are these instructions. You're supposed to work with him. You MUST work with him. There are things at play that would spell the doom of our world. You need to tell him what problems that need to be solved and help him if he can't solve the problem." Ivo explained, ignoring my questions. "It is up to you whether to accept or not. If you don't accept, the suit will disintegrate in two weeks and the World itself will spell their doom."
I... what? "I'm coming down, now... Okay?" The saucer emanated a bright light briefly that nearly blinded me. Then I saw Ivo... why is there blood on his clothes? Why is he pale?
"Ivo... What the hell happened to you?" I asked.
"I've..." Ivo paused briefly before smiling. "Died, Lex. I've died eight hours ago." A beat passed. "I'm giving you something for you to give to someone important. Look for Clark Kent at Daily Planet. He is your only hope to save the entire world." He raised the thing he was holding all this time. A briefcase. "In here lies the tool. The perfect solution. You will know what to do next." Smiling as if what he said holds the answers to the questions I want to ask.
"Hey, Lex, I'm going to put it on the trunk okay?" He went to the trunk of the car and opened it... somehow. He placed the briefcase there. He went back near my window and spoke up. "It's up to you and Clark now. You gotta do this. You've gotta ensure Clark takes the suit on. The two of you can change things. Save this world, our home, from destruction."
I pointed at his blood-stained lab coat. "Who did this to you, Ivo? Who shot you!?" I could feel wetness in my cheeks as I asked these words. "Are you even alright?"
"Of course. I've never been better. I died before the ship picked me up out there afterward. I'm leaving with them now, there's no place for me here. It's a new life for me, amongst the stars like what I always told you about when you were still an intern at Amazo-Tech. It's... nice working with you, Lex." He placed his hand on the window as I did so as well. He had tears in his eyes before he wiped them out.
Ivo went beneath the saucer's light and there was a bright light again. I could hear the hum of the spaceship as it moved. As it did so, the locks clicked. Ah, I can finally get out of this car. I went out and looked at the spaceship traveling amongst the stars. Wiping away my tears, I entered the car and turned it on. The soft hum of the engines brought forth the same melody as that spaceship that Ivo is in. So that's what his inspiration for the car engine is, who knew? Me, of course.
I drove home and pressed a button. The garage door opened and I drove inside it. I went to get that briefcase in the trunk after I closed the garage door.
I got it and placed it on the table. It contains some sort of device. It looks like a diamond with handles on its sides, in the middle of it is a stylized "S". I tried opening it, but it didn't work. I put my hand on my chin. "Clark Kent... Who could that person be?"
[CK]
The alarm clock blared as I slapped it down... it fell out of the table and I groaned. Standing up, I turned off the alarm. I slowly stood up and promptly fell to the floor because my blanket snagged on my foot. One thing at a time, Clark. One thing at a time...
I looked at the time. SHIT! I went to the shower and nearly tripped there.
[LxL]
"Are you some kind of man-shaped alien bird? Or a human-shaped alien probe?" The reporter, Lois Lane if I read the nametag correctly, asked.
"Miss, I am not a plane, a bird, or even an alien. I'm kind of a superb, human." Clark said as the cameras snapped pictures before I forcibly dragged him into the car. I started it up.
KITT asked. "Shall I floor it out now, Sir Luthor?" I nodded.
"Yes KITT, get us out of the pesky reporters! I am not going to be the laughingstock again!" Then the car floored it out of there, I could see some of the reporters actually got in their vans and attempted to chase. Good thing I have a turbo recently installed on this car, otherwise there would be horrible consequences for me.
We rode for quite a few miles just to lose those pesky reporters when the car suddenly stopped again and KITT was on the fritz.
"Sir Luthor, it appears so-s-o-so-sooo-something is inter-ter-ter-terfering with m-m-m-me." Then KITT stopped responding. The car doors locked again and I groaned, placing my face on my hands. I could feel the paperwork piling up just after this.
Then a familiar noise from that night appeared once more. "Oh no," I uttered before the S symbol on Clark's suit glowed briefly and pulsed.
"Good Work." The radio blared out. "You Have Done Well And Exceeded Our Expectations. We Are Satisfied." It paused briefly as it did back then. "You Should Try Power Of Invisible Next Time. Good Luck."
"Power of Invisible? I can turn invisible!?" Clark asked in utter confusion before I shouted.
"Wait, don't go! Come back here! Give me the translation for the manual! Come back!" Then the saucer disappeared. "DAAAA~AAAMN III~IIIT!" I shouted to the uncaring cosmos above.

Idle Musings #2: The Semi-Express Train Station to Another World
- Location
- Earth, Sol System, Milky Way Galaxy
I have an Isekai idea. Well, sort of an Isekai and a Reverse Isekai idea. It's about an urban legend surrounding an abandoned train station.
A student has suicidal ideations- no, he is not bullied or anything. He... wants to die. He has no drive to do anything, he often gets above-average grades, and his parents are fighting for his custody.
So he just straight up went to the abandoned train station thinking it would be the perfect place where he dies. He steps on top of a derelict bench near the train platform, fixes the rope into a knot, and then ties it around his neck after he ties the other end to an exposed beam in the ceiling above him. He jumps, not knowing the exposed beam is very fragile, causing it to give away. This caused him to smack down to the floor, and leave the rope still tied to the beam.
As he holds his head because of the pain, he hears sounds. But that's impossible. This place is abandoned, after all. Winds swept as the station rumbled as if calling out to whatever that sound was, a train. As the student wonders what is going on, that's when the train arrives. He saw that it was as derelict as the station was. Out of curiosity, the student enters the derelict train, and the doors closed as it chugged on, uncaring what it leaves behind.
That's where the MC comes in. One year later, he inherited this train station from his parents, who inherited it from their parents as well, it's a long chain of inheritance from their ancestors. He managed to make it somewhat of a humble abode even though it still looked like a train station. It isn't as derelict as before, so that is a plus. He is rather enthusiastic about trains. Anyways, as he was building his state-of-the-art model train railway system, he heard a sound, and he went to look out the window. He saw a very pristine steam train with the number "3" engraved on its front.
From the cabins attached to the train, a dozen people appeared. Each wore different clothes and armor from various eras. All of them looked at one another confused, before the doors closed with a shut and the train powered down. One of them sucked in air and everyone stared at that person, a six-foot-tall man wearing Viking-esque armor. He then pointed in a direction, everyone followed and saw a rope tied to a knot dangling from the roof.
"Ah... This is the derelict train station where I attempted to suicide. The rope is still there, after all." He paused. "Was the derelict train station. It wasn't this fixed when I left."
The MC then went outside with a baseball bat. "Who the hell are you people!?"
That's when the MC learns from one of his ancestor's journals that this train station is special because it is one of the three stations that host a train that can go to other worlds. Whether fantastical or scientific, the train can get there in time. After that, the train disappears for a decade or so until the ones that it sent to other worlds die and they are brought back inside one of the many cabins attached to the train, asleep as if they are dreaming still. Two of the stations were destroyed when the atomic bombs fell back on World War 2, only one remains.
The MC now has to figure out how to help the Isekai'd people as their time and era have ended... Except for one of them who attempted and failed to suicide a year ago. He can transform back to normal, and he has a new lease on life thanks to the other world he has been to. All of them talked and shared their stories, and even created literature or manga on their adventures with the help of the MC. Much to his chagrin as it cuts through his model train time.
Later on, some downtrodden people appeared. Apparently, this station kept appearing in their dreams and they decided to find out where it was and why it kept appearing. That's when the cabin doors opened once more.
Over time, the MC realizes that the train's health is tied to whoever owns the platform, and each person that will get Isekai'd will drain a year of his life away. Now he has a choice on whether or not he lets people go to other worlds, with him staying behind to see them through. He can't go on the train, somehow. He doesn't know why.
Near the end of the story, when the MC has a few years to live with him gaining an incurable disease even before he realizes the curse of the train station is a thing... He has finally learned that the only way to stop another from suffering this curse is to go inside the train cabin near the end of the curse bearer's life. As such, he chose to not pass on the curse much like his parents and his ancestors before him.
This is the final time he has to stay in the world that he used to call home. Everyone that he has met, the Isekai'd people, and the people he helped, whether sending them off to an adventure or actually helping them whether by talking or not, appeared on his final days as he entered the train cabin. All of them bid farewell as the "magic" of the train station ended and the station became derelict once more except for a structure that used to be a humble abode for the train enthusiast of an MC.
After the curse of the station had ended, people repaired the station and turned it into a private place for them to meet. They still go there once in a while to reminisce about the days when a kind-hearted train enthusiast used to live there. They still go to his humble abode to clean it and to talk about their lives. As one of them was cleaning the model train railway system, the very same person who failed suicide, stopped when he heard a familiar sound. Smiling, he hurriedly went outside to discover a pristine train... and its enthusiastic train-loving conductor waving at them from the helm.
