You'd think Meng Chao would be a bit sad, but turn out he'll soon join the university.
Since he does not need our food anymore he doesn't even bother to come to say goodbye. Well, this makes it easier for me to move to an ancient bunker. There is the reason I am here; land in front of the bunker is dirt cheap and while people here are poor the bunker itself is the cultural heritage site with a lot of pre-cultivation era infrastructure.
Considering that we don't care much about safety this is pretty much the perfect place for any big force to form or rather for big shop to build it supermarket. Other places are too filled with people to clear the area after all.
Now I just need to make deal with local crime lord.

The second shrine I went to was one that gave me a rune for bombs. After completing the shrine and seeing the machine outside - a Guardian - and noticing how it was hostile, I hid behind a wall and threw bombs over the wall at it. After I heard it die, I went over and collected the remains before storing it in my Sheikah Slate (I didn't know how I knew it contained a storage function but I didn't think about it for too long).
The next thing I did was meet the old nan at an overgrown wooden hut where he told me about a dish. I left to go and collect the ingredients - a hylian bass, some meat and some spicy peppers (the memory of the ingredients felt more real in a way than my other memories). I used some bombs to collect the fish, picking up the rusty sword on the small pile of rocks in the middle of the pool.
I then adventured into the woods, quickly finding a small campsite with the old man there (how had he got there before me?). Finding a bow, I knocked an arrow and shot at a boar that I had seen (it felt so familiar holding a bow yet why?). I easily skinned the boar and carved it up despite me having no memory of ever having done it before.
The peppers were the easiest part of the dish to find. I found a small pepper plant near a gate that led to a cold part of the plateau I was on. With all of the ingredients, I cooked myself some Spicy Meat and Seafood Fry. As a thanks for telling him the recipe, the old man gave me a warm doublet which was far more comfortable than my current tattered shirt.
With the doublet acquired, I climbed up a cliff near where another shrine was located. This shrine gave me the ability to stop time (a sword with an hourglass appeared in my mind before fading away) on an object and then hit it to launch it away.
I then preceeded to the last shrine located in the icy part of the plateau. This final shrine gave me the ability to create pillars of ice that...weren't really icy? I didn't slip on them (a cavern where it was hard to keep footing and a frozen dungeon where a volcano should have been); they didn't melt; and most confusingly of all, they ignored gravity.
After I had finished the last shrine, the old man appeared in front of me and told me to go to the intersection of all of the shrines. I watched, shocked, as he faded away in flickers of blue flames.
I consulted my Sheikah Slate and saw that the place where lines connecting all four shrines together crossed was the old temple I had seen as I headed to the tower. As I approached the temple I was hit by an overwhelming sense of familiarity. Three stones opening the door to a sword. A man of darkness walking in and thanking me. Waking up to be told that I had been sealed for seven years. Three words...barely audible...Hero of Time.
I prayed at the statue of the Goddess and received a heart container. After this, I climbed up to the roof and spoke to the old man. I listened as he revealed himself as the King of Hyrule and told me how his daughter, Zelda (a pirate, a spirit, a childhood friend, the goddess descending onto the world with a blade to give me, a child spying through the window on a man of darkness, a painting, a corpse puppeted by evil), had been holding back the Calamity (a curse of hatred spat at me by a demon with flaming hair, the curses of a desert king, a mindless pig-like beast) for a hundred years.
I readily agreed to help her. It felt so right. A Hero, a Great Evil and a Princess to Save. Courage, Power, Wisdom. Three golden triangles manifesting themselves on the hands of the three. He seemed relieved and handed over his paraglider before fading away.

Being in Devil territory it's inevitable that I'll have to summon a devil contractor.
And so I decided to try the whole thing out and use a custom magic circle to summon a devil to help furnish my house. What I didn't expect though was for one of the city owners, Rias Gremory, herself to accept my summon.
If we were to be honest with ourselves I think both of us are surprised about this whole deal; still, Rias stay professional and ask about how she can help me. This is where another surprise comes in. Turn out she is a very talented interior designer; my job is essentially up to her expertise and she ended up designing what I can only consider 'a modern dream lair' for cultured people.
Devil Fee is pretty cheap; she ended up asking for a chance to skip some of the homework 10/10 would recommend.

Today I reached Kakariko Village. Once there, I spoke to this old lady called Impa (a sage of Shadows, an old lady attacked by monsters, an old woman underneath a giant hat) who told me about the Calamity before telling me to go visit a woman named Purah in Hateno.
I decided that I would first help the people here with their issues and complete the shrine on top of the hill. The shrine seemed to be dedicated to training basic combat skills - ones that I knew instantly upon picking up the sword there. After disposing of the robot inside, I decided to do a bit more practice with the sword. During that practice, I had several flashbacks relating to wielding a sword and found that I could quickly recreate the techniques (I still don't know how or why).

Following part of Ancient, I introduce an infinity atmosphere to the fleets.
Air Trek might look like a toy compared to what angels can do, but for other personnel especially those in logistics, these allow them to not only move faster but also with more freedom.
To facilitate that we even set up some special shortcuts for Stromriders; they could travel through the city faster than public transport!
Of course, since I give toys to normal people a gift needs to be given to angels too; for them, I introduce the Infinite Stratos! The machine essentially allows Human and Earth rank Angels to move like a Heaven Tier. Not to mention all the defensive barriers and weaponry; with the right payload, this would help them match even a Soul Realm Angel. Not that they know that; for them flying is enough~

Heya. So, uh... when I returned from my mission, I found a package in my room. It was sent from Hikari, one of my seniors, so I figured there was no problem opening it. An arrow jabbed out and stabbed me in the hand. Yeah, The Arrow. I'm a Stand User now.
It's not exactly all that useful in combat, truth be told, but Time After Time can do one very cool thing: it can negate events from the past-- so long as they are connected to me directly. I used it almost immediately to negate my debt. It worked, but I failed to account for the consequences this would cause. My Stand doesn't just remove things wholesale: it makes it so events are butterflied just slightly so that what I want to be removed didn't happen.
In this case, I'm not in debt anymore... but that's because the guy who gave me the money died in a freak accident not five minutes later, without having time to share the news with anyone.
I want to be happy about this, I mean, I'm still doing good and the dude wasn't exactly morally upstanding... but I just up and erased someone from the past few years of history. That's gonna have more consequences I can't see yet, won't it?

Four weeks passed since I became a teacher, and tomorrow will make this a whole month.
So far apart from occasionally summoning Rias for some small talk, anime sessions, and some interior redesign to accommodate my growing hobby section things are going smoothly.
I even managed to get my hand on DxD Solomon-Merlinian Magic; whole math things can make it quite annoying to use but so far it's nothing a proper AI assistant can't help. Oh yeah, I get myself a base version of Colin's power as he's retiring; using it on the Dream Tech PC gives me an interesting helper; couple her with an upgraded Humane AI pin and I got a rather lowkey magic casting device.
Those technologies aren't the only things I've been upgraded to... My Nightmare Seed is thriving without hindance.
Erika: Heya! Doge and I just came back from raiding a scav den. I was... well, kinda ew, not gonna lie. But hey, we managed to klep a bunch of new weapons, ammo, and chrome. You should've seen us out there, we were totally nova! Barkhorn went full netrunner on the camera systems and elevators, letting us basically walk in scot-free and trapping the gonks with us. Then I popped a couple flashbangs into their main room while Doge took potshots at everyone with chrome optics.
Barkhorn: A good chunk of the weapons are either things I categorically refuse to use (SMARTguns, for one), or just not worth the effort. Most we'll just use as spare parts or sell off, same with the chrome. Got us a good deal with 6th for a lot of this stuff.
Erika: Not that we need any of that junk when we have the Factory's stuff ready for us to chip in. I was actually thinking of some stabilizers... or maybe a Kerez?
Barkhorn: I still suggest a Sandevistan if you really want superspeed, a Kereznikov will fuck up your perception of time massively.
Erika: Meh, anyways, I guess this is it from us for now. Byyyye!

Obtain power from Ludwig; I could now grant a wish.
Amusingly this power messes with possibilities by a lot; poor AI have to come out of shadows and ask me to be gentle with granting wishes to lifeform. Using it on one of the torch bearers, she ended up using the wish to make the area I just bought prosper. Poor girl doesn't know that I plan to develop the area; ends up benefiting both my plan and my shop.
Not all goes well for my project though. One of the girls Witched out almost immediately; good thing I managed to slow down space-time and call the first magical girl on time. I can't risk Witch becoming a known thing just yet.

Ever since I put the mask on, everything has been clearer. Memories of previous incarnations slotting seamlessly into my mind, me remembering skills that I haven't practiced in millenia and an overwhelming feeling of incompleteness without having the Master Sword in my hand.
I arrived in Hateno earlier today and upon seeing the Tech Lab's furnace unlit, I grabbed a torch and carried a blue flame up to it. Upon entering, I saw a young Sheikah girl and upon her calling me Linky, I sighed. Of course Purah would find a way to turn herself into a child...

Not long after obtaining new power, I already earn some points.
Between fusing and upgrading; fusing the ship pretty much does all the hard work since there is no way I can learn everything about the spaceship in such a short time.
Still, I do learn a lot from trying it out especially learning about the limitations of what I can and cannot do with my current ability. For example, I simply cannot upgrade an item that I am incapable of using; I need to know the item to some degree either by how it is supposed to work or with experience in using the item; otherwise item won't be registered for upgrade.
Fusion is more simpler, I just need enough of a copy and I can create better one by fusing them. Simple!
Erika: That is exactly the plan, choom. I mean, most of this is civilian-grade, so it won't be much use to us, but I guess the 6th have a lot of civvies getting hurt one way or another... mostly in factory incidents. This district is kind of a deathtrap.
[Got anything that you wouldn't mind trading? I have some spare Ancient Sheikah technology and I'm sure Purah would happily tear apart any new technologies.]
Barkhorn: Yeah, sure. We actually had a lot of crates, so just skimming a bit off the top won't hurt us. Good thing I haven't finalized any numbers in the deal yet, so it's no issue just... skimming a little off the top. Consider the bag a gift.
A 1.5x1.5x2m crate of assorted technological augments (civilian-grade mostly, one set of combat-grade augs for each main part of the body)
A backpack with a pair of handguns, revolvers, and a sniper rifle, along with associated ammo

Spaceship! While it's not impossible to obtain; it's rather expensive thanks to the boycott.
Good thing Eadric is lucky enough to scam some local noble out of their tactical asset; hundreds of spaceships were bought from him to replace old and underpowered spaceships of my fleets.
Just buying isn't enough though...
To make sure everything is compatible I send the ship to Xuan; since he inherited Colin's power, he can fuse similar items to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Using those powers I had him fuse many ships with our fleet's mothership creating a grand machine that was not only majestic but also carried smaller spaceships for multi-deployment. With this we are now enter golden age!

Continue Developing power.
Today I made a nice Lego car for myself, the car is pretty bad but at least it's somewhat usable. Whole things made me realise something though developing skills normally takes too long so I got myself a proficiency panel!
With it things I do can contribute to improving myself; even doing my day job of being a Chinese Teacher. Teaching is a good way to master something which means it gives me experience; using panel I can use those to master a skill! What an amazing cheat when used in conjunction with an upgrade... Only down side here is I have to sell the Fusion system back to Josh; wonder who will get that.
On an unrelated note, these devils are cheating... Their ability to be omniglots makes the whole language classes redundant.

Alright, so, uh... well, kinda awkward to talk about but my first hour in this place was already... eventful.
Imagine my surprise one moment I'm getting sent over here and the next I can't see anything, and I am restrained and have something moving around my mouth!
Well, it didn't take me long to realize that someone was holding me, and uh... well I was currently spending seven seconds in heaven.
Cutting the long story short-
Apparently, someone decided that it'd be fun if I were dropped in blind - literally since the place I appeared at was completely dark - in a sorority house of all places.
It took me a bit to gather all the details, but my current identity is that of a university student. Assistant professor in fact. Go figure how I'll manage that.
Point is. Apparently quite popular? Or at least popular enough to get invited to a sorority house and... well... you get the point.
After dealing with that, and finding my way to my dorm room - which was quite nice, I might add - I started to make sense of everything.
Haven't quite managed to figure out the conduit thing. Might not be awakened yet actually. At least can't feel anything quite yet.
Sorry, not important.
What is important, is that the DUP passed through here recently. They didn't stick around though. Advantage of being in a small town I guess. Kinda surprised it even has a university.
Did a quick search online, and DUP is hella active right now. It's 2014, and another quick search for good ol' Cole tells me that... 3 years have passed since that whole debacle.
Augustine has been going strong for a whole 2 years which explains why people were talking about the DUP visit.
She's gotten her roots down.
Tttttthat's all for now? I think?
Gonna need to drop by astral later, but for now, gonna be needing to get more info.

Good news everyone, I got laid!
To keep it SFW, I met with a great fox girl, hit it off, and had some mofu mofu time with her. It was the best time I have in my life so far and was quite enlightening... Post-nuts clarity is real and I even somehow gained the ability to use the Dying Will Flame of Earth from the experience. On that note, coupled with Xuan's Dream Seed my power is now very versatile.
Not only can I reap energy by converting people into magical girls and use those to grant a wish, but now I can also create a dream world, set up a magic store and even use the power of 'gravity' to make people meet.
Once I master my power I think I will become a ROB!

Purah seemed rather enthusiastic over upgrading my Sheikah Slate after I revealed the fact that I remembered her (mainly by teasing her slightly about how short she was). All I needed was a few ancient parts, and she would use her Guidance Stone to improve them. Smiling, I left her lab and decided to start planning out a trek to Akala in order to meet with Robbie.
As fellow man in Girl Majority educational environment you have my condolences... Meanwhile, I have been focus on develop item here and there; if I am not teacher I probably go buy Tesla or something.
[Zero Bike? Do you mean the miniaturised Divine Beast prototype that was in development when I as the Hero of 10,000 years ago first sealed Calamity Ganon? If so, no I don't have it. It wasn't finished when I left Hyrule.]

It took some time to train all personnel to operate the fleet.
But after a year of non-stop training and deployment, our Three-Legged Crow Fleet is now fully operational! We have 1800 space cruisers, 600 great carriers, 2 motherships and last but not least our headquarters which is a colossal ship with star-destroying weapons.
Just the last one alone makes Planet Lord panic when they unintentionally offend me.
Amusing enough, while I quickly became respected, Mu Siyun who has done a lot more is mocked and underestimated. To be honest, I simply cannot understand why these warlords think they can take the admiral of the Beiyang fleet on. Don't they forget he has a Soul Tier angel body guard? Maybe they just don't understand how Angel cultivation works? Seriously...

The name Gapryong Kim is known to much of the city, and likely a fair chunk of the country as Korea's newest face in politics, a large and well-built man with a reputation for being a just and kind man that can't stand an ounce of injustice or unfairness in this world. Of course, that much could likely be said about any politician anywhere, especially when it comes to PR and their campaign ads. What provides the most intrigue and interest is the drama and public buzz that gathers around each one, and the man of the hour is no exception.
What a cold and ruthless man he must've been, to command and control the entirety of Seoul's Underworld and gather their respect. What a disgusting man he must've been, to lead the most powerful criminal organization known to the nation with nothing but his own bare hands, aptly named the "Fist" Gang. What a chilling monster he must've been, to endure the public outrage and spitting boos and jeers at his name with a gracious smile.
Of course, an ordinary ghost such as I, Kim Chung-Cha, have no opinion on the matter. Though if I were to say my honest thoughts...
I think he is a good man.
and If I were to say my honest thoughts on where that good man lives...
Well.
Korea is
Hell
Hey chat, excuse me for my monologue, Name's...
Well, I'd usually give an alias or an actual name, but I'm currently going through somewhat of a very literal existential crisis at the current moment.
Anyways, call me Kim.
Much to my chagrin, heaven and earth has not blessed me with a body of my liking
And I seem to have been placed into this particular pickle as a true transmigrator.
Such misfortune is commonplace for my ilk, methinks, but that's besides the point.
I am a ghost. As much of a ghost as one can get away with being called legally. I am, of course, both dead, and have never been born, using that same sentiment.
Still, I get by. Wandering around with a decently tailored suit I managed to snatch during my transmigration, and as a soft-faced mongolian, blending into the crowd is...
Easy.
Stupidly easy. I sleep my days away wandering through bars, paying through cash found on the ground or pickpocketed from brazen brawls.
I know I am scum, I know I had no choice, I know those are excuses, still-
No matter how much I dawdle and stumble around for survival and justification, or how much I rave and rant in monologues of self-loathing and regret, I can't help but feel silly when I think about it all.
The point of the matter, although I fully admit there isn't much of one, is that things are rough
And perhaps the only silver linings on these clouds are that I'd managed to gain the reluctant tutelage of Hansu Seong, that famous athlete.
Oh, and of course, this is in the mid-2000's and The First Generation has already kicked into gear.
How lovely.
Today's weather is annoying, but nonetheless beautiful all the same. The harsh rays of the afternoon sun sears my skin with heat, with the wind and shade of summer oak trees being my only solace.
I'm waiting for my order right now, just a snack and a coffee, hopefully looking like a dignified and wealthy young gentleman far classier than I would truly hope to admit. My eyes dart around every once in a while, locking eyes with some others who seemed to have the same idea. No human being- (Sturgeon's law would disagree, as nothing is always absolutely so)- 90% of human beings was ever truly at the right place, and most were bumbling idiots who stumbled across a world bigger than they ever were with enough bravado and courage to find their way. Pretending, smiling, hoping, praying.
In that moment, we shared an understanding. And thus, were comrades in our falsehoods.
The sun blazes, the shadows save my skin, the breeze comforts me yet again.
My coffee came cold.

'I think therefore I am.'
A rather famous quote from a Christian philosopher over the nature of existence. As long as one can think, they can prove to themselves that they exist.
However, there is one large flaw in this statement. The proof only works for one person. Yourself. As it is the only definite way we have to prove someone's reality, theruses no feasible way for the average person to know if another is truly real or not. And it was those thoughts exactly that caused me to begin isolating myself and treating others worse. After all, wasn't I the only one that, at least in my perception of reality, existed beyond all reasonable doubt. Why would I care about the thoughts of others? Others that may just be figment of my imagination.
By the time I realised that by pushing everyone away, I had lost all hope at any meaningful life. I had no friends to talk to, no acquaintances that I could nod to on my way to or from work. Even my colleagues at the fast food place that I worked at didn't really interact with me beyond what was required of them for their job.
I was walking home, the rain pouring in sheets. Every step I took was accompanied be the soft squelching of my shoes and the splashing of puddles. I tightened my scarf around my mouth, ignoring its dampness, in order to preserve as much heat as possible. I ignored the way my sodden hair uncomfortably clung to my forehead and the way my clothes plastered themselves to my back.
The traffic light was green, and so I stopped. Yet, where I stopped was not normal in anyway shape or form. I had entered a specific part of the universe at the exact moment countless other parallel worlds overlapped it and in the exact location where they overlapped.
I stood their for a minute, waiting for the light to turn red. When it did, I went to take a step forwards before I felt something shatter. As it turned out, I had left just as the overlapping universes seperated, causing me to splinter across reality and unreality.
And as if that wasn't enough, at the exact moment I splintered, a certain Royal Scientist of one timeline fell into a Core of his own creation. Our existences overlapped briefly and he became I and I became him. I lost all identity I may have had then, instead being reduced to naught but a formless mass of nothing, directed by thoughts.
It was an instant eternity before I regained consciousness and another eternal instant before I finally managed to think about having a body. It appeared that I now required to consciously focus on maintain a physical form somewhere as I existed both everywhere and nowhere all at once. I also learned that I had to focus on being tangible and visible due to my unreality.
I watched. Uncaring. Eternally patient for something to happen. And when it did, I immediately decided to investigate it.
