Chapter 2

"So Issei any plans for today?" I heard my mother call out.

"Yeah, I'm planning to go and find some new games maybe even go to the library." I replied back and that was the truth, I had no intention of trying out anything today just play some games, read some books and go around the town.

That not only served as a form of research as I would be able to find and make a list of games and books which could allow me to gain some valuable skills and knowledge. It also gave me some time to really plan out the things that might be useful.

"If you have the money to buy new games then sure go ahead but don't ask me as I just gave you your allowance for this month. And I'm quite glad that you thinking of going to the library, reading some books will help you a lot." My mother said.

You know I still can't believe how my mom can switch between been stern like a principal to sounding almost like an air head sometimes. I didn't really check her stats before so let's see what my ability has to say about mom.

Quietly so that my mom won't hear me I said "observe", I could have mentally said it but hind-sight is 20-20.

Though it unknown why she had stopped communicating with her family, what is known is that she is she does not like talking about it. She also gets quite irritated when her husband is with another woman.

Wow, didn't know mom was a cutthroat nor do I ever want to see that side of her. Bidding her good bye I went out to the town wondering what games I should buy.

Three days later

After three days of nothing but doing quests, playing games and reading books in the library, I found a lot of things that would really help me if I used [Fiction Adaption] on them and I did just that.

First was Fate Zero, then there was Familiar of Zero, Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, C&C Red Alert the full series, Star Wars, Star Trek, Negima and Yu Yu Hakusho.

I planned to summon a Servant as soon as I was certain I could sustain it, but if not than an Archer class was what I would aim for though a Caster class would also be incredibly helpful.

Anyways from FoZ the familiar runes would be helpful in boosting the Servant stats or cover any weakness they might have, I would have to look into transcribing the runes later. The void and elemental spells that were depicted in FoZ were also nothing to scoff at either.

Supreme Commander and TA were simply for the sci-fi units and uber tech. I was really surprise to find that the Aeon had psychic powers, though RA, StarCraft and SW unique psychic abilities and force powers were superior to the Aeon. I chose ST simply for the scanners and replicator technology.

Negima gave me access to pactios and diorama spheres that would cut down a lot of my training time and even serve as a secondary base, which I would mostly use as storage and training area.

Pactios would be helpful if I was able to find some companions and even a Servant could use them though I guess that would just give them a second set of their NP or one that they had lost or could not use due to class restrictions. Heh, that might be cheating to some extent but if you aren't cheating you aren't trying hard enough.

Yu Yu Hakusho gave me access to Genkai's training bracers which if I tweak it a bit would allow my mana reserves to grow. The skills there were also great for one-on-one fights but I was mostly looking for AOE spells. I would take the spirit gun just for trolling purposes.

Not wanting to waste any more time on research, for now I began to search the town and the area for a good place for my base. Sure the place that I was using before was great but it was small and a bit open and easy to access.

By noon I had found an entrance to a cave network, exploring a bit I found that it was quite extensive and had a lot of large caverns that could serve many purposes, it was also well lit not by artificial means but by some bio-luminous bugs and rocks.

I wonder why people had not found this place but with the entrance so small and hidden well by rocks and overgrowth not to mention the upper levels were also very dark and quite narrow, I guess people simply did not want to explore these caverns.

It was simply my need for a base and the means to replenish my supplies via [Creation] that I was able to come so far.

I still had some four-to-five hours before I had to go back so I decided to focus on my Auras I activated the [Brilliance Aura] and saw it slowly gain EXP, it would take some time to level up so in the mean time I focused on the [Thorns Aura] and [Devotion Aura].

Unlike the time with the Brilliance Aura where I got some bonus, I got no such thing for the two auras, though I did get a curious skill I got when I learned [Thorns Aura].

[Sense Spirits]- Passive/Active Level: 1 EXP: 0% MP Cost: 0/40
Description: A skill that allows you to sense spirits and commune with them at high level.
Passively: Allows the user to sense low level spirits minutely in 30m range.
Actively: Allows the user to sense low level spirits clearly at 50m range.

That would be helpful in identifying ghosts and such, as for the Auras themselves.

[Devotion Aura]- Passive/Active Level: 1 EXP: 0% MP cost: 0/40- 20 per min sustained.
Description: The user channels his devotion and will around him which grants protection to all nearby allies granting them increased defence.
Passively: Increases defence by 1.
Actively: Increases defence 3.
Range: 10m (Passive)/25m (Active).
Passively increases VIT and WIS by 1 per level.

[Thorns Aura]- Passive/Active Level: 1 EXP: 0% MP Cost: 0/40- 20 per min sustained.
Description: The user Channels the protective energies of Nature and grants the user and nearby allies increase defence and the ability to return the damage dealt to them, and harm the attacker.
Passive: Increases defences by 1.
Actively: Increases defences by 3 and reflects 10% damage dealt to the attacker and deals 5-damage to the attacker per min within the rage of the aura.
Note: The reflective damage bonus only affects melee attackers while the additional damage affects all enemies at both range and melee.
Range: 10m (Passive)/15M (Active).
Passively increase VIT and WIS by 1 per level.

[Thorns Aura] sure is a bit OP but that was a bit understandable since some of the most powerful characters were Arch druids who had thorns aura.

It also seemed that I could keep and stack the auras; it would simply decrease my MP regen which in some situations might become a problem. But, meh in the long run when my MP regen improved, I would have no problem sustaining multiple Auras at once.

After checking the auras I then proceeded to try out the void spells from FoZ. They were quite easy to learn, honestly and gave me only a single bonus skill.

[Void Affinity]- Passive Level: 1 EXP: 0%
Description: Represents the user affinity for the Void. The Void can be used to empower spells and psychic abilities. The higher the level of this skill the more benefits one can gain from harnessing the void.
Passively allows usage of Void Spell and Abilities.
Passively decreases the cost of all Void spells and abilities by 5%.

That was quite an interesting skill as this one affect both magic and psychic abilities, something that I had never heard of before. I would have to keep an eye on this ability and see what effects it has apart from the obvious.

The spells themselves were quite something too.

[World Door]- Active Level: 1 EXP: 0% MP Cost: 1500
Description: Creates a door that allows you to traverse multiple worlds and even different universes. The door can be shaped and enlarged to any size and form and lasts till the user dispels it. The higher the level of this skill the more worlds the user is able to access and more doors the user is able to create at once.
Current level: Max 1 Door per cast, restricted to worlds similar to the users current world.

[Dispel]-Active Level: 1 EXP: 0% MP Cost: 500
Description: A void spell that cancels any active spell in the vicinity and deal damage to summoned units, removes all buffs, turns the affected area into a no-magic zone with only the user being able to use magic in this zone, making others unable to cast spells and deals additional damage to summoned units.
Range: 50m radius from the user.
Duration: Instant cast, no magic zone last for 30 seconds.
Actively negates magic.
Actively dispels all positive and negative buffs.
Actively deals 300 damage to summoned units.
Actively deals additional 50 damage per sec to summoned units in the no magic zone.

Both spells were really incredible yet at the same time very expensive in terms of mana. The [Dispel] was something that would be incredibly useful in fighting mage and Summoner type opponents, the [World Door] was simply an incredible spell that would allow me to traverse different worlds and universes yet I could not cast it even once for now.

I guess that would be one of my short term goals, to level up and get enough MP to be able to use [World Door].

I was done learning new spells for today and with some hours still left I decided to practice my [Creation] spell and [Archery].

Creating some targets and some additional lights I took out my bow and arrows and began practicing my Archery skills. I made sure that alternated using mana arrows and solid arrows now and then to level both of them at once and I even kept all my auras active so that they levelled up.

After two hours of practice, I my Archery skill, Auras, Creation spell and Mana Arrows had gained a few levels which lowered their cost and increased the bonuses I gained, so I decided to call it a day and head home.

2312312

It had been more than a week since I had discovered my [Gamer] power and I was starting to get used to seeing the blue boxes and using the skills that I learned.

So far it was all going well and I kept finding new features of my power and learned new skills and spells.

I tried to make a routine so that I could effectively train and properly level up myself but I was unable to come up with a decent routine. Most of my time was spent on the Quests that keep getting and gaining XP from them to level up, though that was becoming harder now that I had gained some levels and thus levelling up was requiring more and more XP, just regular RPG mechanic, which I never thought I would ever apply to myself.

Good thing I found that I could gain stats from performing various actions, which immensely helped me as I was now finding it harder to level up. Levelling up gave me additional stat points which I could spend but I also found out that my stats randomly increased as well when I levelled up.

So far my stats were quite manageable and with though even with the extra stat points that I kept getting now and then I was still unable to get enough points to increase my MP pool to use the [World Door] spell.

It would take me quite some time before I had enough mana to use [World Door] and still have some MP left for some spells. But I was growing impatient; the thought of me having the ability to traverse other worlds and not being able to do it was grinding my patient into dust.

So I began to look into other ways to increase my Mana Pool and stats. The easiest way I found was though items.

It was a given fact in games that a good item could make even an under levelled character take on higher level enemies and some items were literally game breaking that using them were considered cheats. I was going to try to create such an item.

I didn't know where to start or how I should go about creating magical items, but I did know from where I could get the information.

I knew [Fiction Adaption] had given me info on basically almost everything about the games I had used it on thus I also had access to their blacksmithing and crafting techniques which would allow me to create the items that I needed.

Sure I would face some problem when it came to materials need to craft the items but with [Creation] that was not much of an issue. The only issue would be the time needed to create such items, while that was something that I had plenty, my patient was really wearing thin.

Currently I made some rough estimate on the XP points that I was earning everyday which was some 500 points average to 1500 points on a good day. I had not earned more than 1500 points in a single day and at my current level it would take at the least 7 days to level up and who knows how many more to gain another level.

Thus I had to see whether or not crafting items would allow me to reach my intended goal in less time or not. If it was going to take more time I would stick to levelling myself. So with that I started to dig any and all information I had gained about items that could help me.

It took time to find what I was specifically looking for with Warcraft and Final Fantasy providing quite a lot of variety of items with additional bonuses and more than the other verses.

From Warcraft there were literally thousands of items which I could use to not only increase my MP but also my overall stats, same with Final Fantasy thou they were in lesser amount. I could also see that the items could be enhanced and enchanted to become better with some having the capacity to rival legendary items if they were enchanted properly though such items were rare and quite few.

Some of the items were quite easy to make and would not require much materials at all too and would fulfil my needs though now that I had gotten a glimpse of what I could potentially create, I was not going to settle for simple mundane items. I made lists of items which would help me the most.

The first was Genkai's training Arm-bands which was practically tailored made to increase one's reserves. This was one item which I would keep using for long term growth with a bit of enchanting I could keep upgrading it to suit all my needs.

Then there were Mana Pendants great for storing mana with capacity ranging from 300 to 500,000+, stored mana which I could use to fuel my spells, it was basically increasing my Mana Pool but I could also choose whether or not to use the stored mana or not. With some enchanting I could make it so that it boosted my mana regen and was able to recharge its lost mana faster.

Currently I doubted I could create pendants that could store only a meagre 600 MP at the most but with practice I had no doubt I could increase that as well. Item crafting was certainly something I could get behind since it was making almost everything easy for me.

Mana and health stones would be tricky to create but with [Creation] I had no doubt I could create a few. They were also vital components of some of the more powerful items that I knew of; even in their basic forms they were quite useful too giving ridiculous health and mana regen bonuses.

Then there were magical gloves from Final Fantasy and Warcraft that could store mana and even cast spells embedded in them at a very low MP. Seeing them reminded me about Roy Mustang from Full Metal Alchemist and damn was I determined to create my own unique pair of gloves like his.

There were some more items but for now I was focusing on those four for now, they were both easy to create and easier to conceal as well and I could even explain that I bought them or something like that if other saw me wearing them, unlike staffs and the likes which were not easy to explain and make believable excuses.

So with those items in mind I began to about creating an appropriate working area in the cavern. There was going to be a problem with the ventilation so I had to find a suitable cave that was easy to ventilate and would not be easy to spot from the outside. Not finding one I simply settled on the biggest cave I could find, the smoke would be a problem so I search for some solution and found that with some runic arrays they could be easily taken care of. Wow, magic was quite versatile if you think about it.

Using [Creation] I created some crafting tables, tools and a few of the material that I would use to create the items. Before I started crafting the items I checked whether or not I could use [Creation] to create the item. I found that I could create them though there were limits to what I could create and that the durability of the items themselves was quite low, like the Mana Pendant that I created.

Mana Pendant- Common Class- Common item
Durability: 10/10

Description: A magical pendant enchanted to store mana that can be used for rituals or to fuel spells, increases MP when worn.
Effects:
+200 MP.

Reading its description, I found that apart from the low durability it was quite good all things considered. Though I doubted I would ever enchant it to increase its capabilities.

[Creation] was an expensive spell and simply creating a single pendant like this one was a bit wasteful, thus I was mostly going to use it to create the raw materials to craft the items. With that I began working on the first item in my list.

################

It took me hours to create the Genkai's training Arm-bands. I did some changes to the design and turned them into a pair of simple silver bracelets. They were not that high quality and I could still improve upon the design and more but for now they were enough.

Silver Mana-training Bracelets- Artefact Class – Unique Item
Durability: 200/200
Description: A pair of simple plain silver bracelets, based on the Spirit Grandmaster Genkai's own Special Spirit Training Bands. These pair of bracelets supresses all Mana inside the wearer's body while flooding their body with mana and keeping them at Maximum output. This in turn helps the user train both their body and increase their Mana reserves and Magical resistance but in return seals a portion of the user's mana. A note to remember the bonuses gained from this item cannot be utilised till it is removed. Wearing this item also supresses magical signature of the user from others unless they are in close contact with the user.

Effects
Increases stat gain by 40%
Increases Mana reserves by 30% of the total time worn.
Increases Magical resistance by 30% of the total time worn.
Seals away 50% of the User's mana pool
Supresses Magical signature.

It was a really good item, though the part about me needing to remove it to gain the fruits of my training and the bit about sealing away half of my mana pool was a bit of a surprise. Still it was quite something in and of itself. The skills I had gotten while making it were also quite good too.

[Crafting]- Passive Level- 12 EXP: 30%
Description: The art of crafting is wide and varied covering a lot of disciplines. This skill indicates the user's overall skill in all crafting fields.
Passively increases the growth rate of all crafting related skills by 12%.
Passively improves all crafting related skills by 12%.
Passively increases AGI and WIS by 1 per level.

[Rune Craft]- Passive Level-16 EXP: 2.4%
Description: The art of Crafting and engraving runes on items. It can even be used to empower runic spells at higher level.
Passively increases power of all runes by 16%.
Passively increases MAG by 2.

[Blacksmithing]- Passive Level- 14 EXP: 3.2%
Description: The art and way of shaping metal into weapons, armours and tools, the higher the level of this skill the better the finished item.
Passively increases the quality of created items by 7%.
Passively increases STR and VIT by 1 per level.

The skills were quite good, incredibly good I should say. At higher levels these skills would give me stat bonuses that would be almost equal to gaining multiple levels, required that I levelled them properly. Crafting skills were never easy to level up as it required creating multiple Masterpiece items and even legendary items to gain levels at higher levels, the rarity of materials and success rate of creating them would be quite unpredictable that most of the times it was better to gain items through loot or shops and events.

Right now I didn't know where I could go and farm monsters for XP and loot nor did I know any shops selling magical items or the likes and there was no way that special events would occur like in the games. So for me to be able to craft my own items without worrying about materials was quite the boon.

Wearing the bracelets I felt my Mana practically burst forth and started coursing through my body, it was like I was dumped into a lake as the air became heavy and while I was able to move, it was like I was wearing really wet and heavy clothing. I saw half of my mana bar turn gold with the words 'sealed' etched on the gold bar.

That was one downside I had was not happy with as it meant that my items would have to compensate greatly for my reduced reserves. I would have to carry multiple pendants which would have to act more like mana batteries than magical items.

Though even with the downside of me depending more on the items to compensate for my reserves, I knew that in the long run it would be worth it.

It had grown quite late now thus I called it a day and headed home.

###################

The next day

As soon as I woke up I quickly had my breakfast and began to make plans for today.

I was going to craft quite a lot of items the pendants and the gloves. I had told my parents that the bracelets were something I had bought and they did not question me much, though mom was mumbling about 'growing phase' and what not.

I was going to use my 'Inventory' to keep my gloves and other items hidden. It was not like I could come out and say that I had made them, they required skills which I clearly should not possess at my age. Maybe in a few years I could freely start wearing them with a suitable excuse to cover for me.

After reaching the cave I quickly went to the crafting table and went about creating the pendants and gloves. The pendants were easy to create with each one I created being better than its predecessor, the best I was able to create was one that had 2000MP capacity, could be recharged in 30 minutes and also gave a 400HP bonus, while the lowest was a 150MP capacity with no extra effect.

Wearing the pendant I saw that my total MP went up but strangely the extra MP was not sealed off. Doing some calculations I found that the amount of MP sealed was the same as yesterday which meant the Bracelets affected only my base MP and not bonuses I got from Items.

That was good news, extremely good news. While this would really increase my dependency on items, almost all RPGs did that too, it would be just too obvious in my situation.

I now had enough MP to cast the [World Door] spell and I would have gone and casted it then and there but I restrained myself. I wanted to create a few more items before I went and started exploring other worlds.

I would need a backpack to keep my things and items, what kind of adventurer and explorer would I be without one, then there were the gloves that I was aiming to make, weapons and armours for protection, shields and barriers for extra protections and a tent for resting and acting as a base. Though I could just use [World Door] to get back it would be nice to have a backup in case I got stuck somehow.

It would take me a couple of weeks but I was sure I was ready for my first trip but it would be two weeks well spent. Better get started on it, also where did I put my spell list again.

############

2 weeks later

I was finally going to use [World Door] today and man was I excited.

The past two weeks, I had learned and grown a lot. I had levelled up 3 times and brought my overall level to 14, most of my skills and spells were firmly in level 10-18 giving me quite a lot of boosts and bonuses.

I had learnt some new spells and skills and crafted quite a lot of items too.

I had created a jacket that was more like one worn by archeologists with lots of pockets and what not, it had decent defence against physical damage and high magical defence, it increase drops and gave me 20% extra from loots and treasures and gave me XP for discovering new or lost artefacts, so it was great for exploring and adventuring. I even had a hat to go with it too.

Explorers Vest- Artefact Class- Unique Item
Durability: 223/250

Description: A vest crafted by Issei Hyoudou for the purpose of exploring and adventure. This vest provides great protection from both physical and magical elements of the world, it also can hold up to a lot of items due to its specially crafted pockets.

Effects:

+20% drop rate from mobs and monsters
+500- Physical defence
+750- Magical defence

Both items were among the best I had ever created and they could even upgradable by runes and enchantments, though I had not added them yet as I was a bit busy with my other preparations and my most value item till now, my alchemical gloves.

After I had thought about creating gloves like that of Roy Mustang, I decided to basically create the actual glove itself and thus used [Fiction Adaption] on my Full metal Alchemist series. Then after quite a lot of failures and a bit of explosions I was able to create the gloves and even gain the skill [Alchemy]. I then began to add runes and what not and upgrade the hell out of it.

Gloves of the State Alchemist- Artefact Class- Unique Item
Durability: 943/1000

Description: Based upon the gloves of the famous Alchemist Roy Mustang, these gloves allow one to freely use alchemy for almost no mana cost. They have also being heavily enchanted to act as a medium for magical spells reducing their cost and storing mana. They are also enchanted to increase magical and physical defences.

+800- Magical Defence
[Alchemical Conduit] -Allows the use of Alchemy, reduces the cost of Alchemy by 80%
[Magical Conduit]- Acts as a magical conduit for spells reducing spell cost by 20%, increase their power by 40%

Yes, I name it after the State Alchemists but I thought it was fitting.

It was a bit OP but I simply regarded it as high level item and went with that reasoning, in games you did find items which could do so much more and were simply regarded as high level items and such, for me to use it at my level may be calling it overkill, but well better safe than sorry as they say.

Well there were some other items like bombs, potions and such but they did not match up to these three items in general. Alongside the pendant I had created on the way back and upgraded using enchantments, I was feeling quite comfortable in regards to my health and protection. As for weapons I tried crafting a lot of weapons but in the end I only settled for four of them.

Bow of the Wind- Legacy Class- Unique item
Durability: 283/300

Description: A bow infused with wind runes for both accuracy and increased piercing capabilities, can also imbue arrows with wind element to deal additional damage and increase piercing damage and critical chance.

Storm Bringer (Warhammer) - Artefact Class- Unique Item

[Runic Weaponry]- Empowers Runes and increases their effects by 200%.

These weapons were the best among all my crafted weapons and with extensive enchanting they were truly formidable. 'Strom's Might' and 'Winter's Song' were especially great weapons, with them I would be a great magical powerhouse with my spells being almost being free of cost. This was especially true for 'Winter's Song' and with it I would be spamming spells at reduced cost while enjoying increased Mana regen.

'Winter's Song' would be my go to weapon when I want to go full Mage Knight and wreck magical havoc on someone. It would be back by my level 10-18 spells and skills which were nothing to scoff at. Spells like [Chain Lightning], [Blizzard],[Mana Burn] [Foraze], [Thundera], [Blizzara] and the likes which were really good spells covering both AOE and anti-unit capabilities.

It was a pain levelling them up but I was able to get them and my other spells to their current level, where I was sure unless I ran into really ridiculous enemies or was outrageously outnumbered I would be able to handle 'almost' anything, almost being a keyword as I really don't know how I would stack up to against others in combat.

Though I wanted to see how I fared in combat I was not eager to enter one, even when I knew that it would be one of the best way to level up.

Putting the weapon in my inventory, I prepared myself to use the [World Door].

Channelling the spell I felt the Void respond to my call and I began to shape to my will, channelling its energies into the spell, I let it take form and shape. The Void energies felt empty yet I felt as if something was there in that emptiness, it was quite a strange feeling. Then in an instant I felt the spell take effect and the portal form before me.

The portal was shaped in the form of a door with green light forming its edges and a black, purplish backdrop at the centre. I had no set destination in mind when I casted the spell so that must be why it had a strange backdrop instead of showing me what was at the other side. That was a bit scary, I'll admit not knowing what was going to be on the other side, but that was just half the fun in exploring and adventuring, meeting new people, finding treasures and what not was the other half.

Taking a deep breath I took my first step out to a new world.

#####################

Unknown time, unknown place

Stepping out of the portal I found that I was in an abandoned factory, the place was dusty and filled with rusted broken machine which were missing some parts taken either by the owners or thieves, spider webs filled the exposed parts of the machines and whit the level of dust the place had it must have been abandoned for quite a lot of time too.

Exploring the place I found that it was some sort of a gun manufacturing factory. It even had a firing range at the bottom of the place.

I found no gun or bullets in the place the owners must have clear them out or were stolen by the thieves. Though I was able to find out where I was, somewhere in China, I was not able to find out exactly where but I was in china.

I finished exploring the factory and then set up my things in the most stable room in the factory, which was the warehouse, it took a bit of cleaning but it was ready to use for now. as for my things it was mostly some lights and furniture that I had crafted for the trip, all of which fitted in my inventory and vest. Items like medical supplies and foods etc. were still in my inventory and vest I was not going to bring them out from there unless I needed them.

After setting up my temporary base, I went out of the factory and to further explore the area.

I soon found a city nearby; it seems that the factory was built near the outskirts of the city. I even found the date and the calendar system that everyone was using here. It was the year 12 November 2009 Ascension Throne Britannia or 12 November, 2009 A.T.B.

Somehow the calendar system was giving me creeps, it was not the normal calendar system that I was used to, and so I did not know whether I was in the past or the future. Though looking at the average tech it was quite close to my own world that meant I would be going sci-fi and not full magic as I had prepared for, great.

I could not help but sigh at my situation, I was planning full mage and now I have to go tech, it was really a dampener on my mood.

Well even with my dampened mood, I began to explore the city, the city was quite lively with the residents being friendly and helpful, there were many new things that I came across and well form the food they were selling too they all seemed quite delicious, I even picked up [Chinese] with both Mandarin and Cantonese for my language skill. That was quickly becoming helpful for me in commutating with the locals.

After some subtle and not so subtle inquiries I found that instead of China as it was called back home, the nation was called the Chinese Federation, one of the three superpowers of the world and ruled by the Chairwoman Tianzi. The other two superpowers were the European Union and the Britannia Empire, a monarchy, a democracy and a communist regime, cliché much.

Well after roaming around a bit more I came to a park and finding a secluded place namely under a tree, I took out my notebook and started to draw sketches of the place. The sketches were by no means great but it would do for now.

I was quite engrossed in the drawing the sketches that I did not even notice that someone had creep up on me.

"What are you drawing?" a voice sweet and innocent asked.

"Gahhhh" I was startled at the sudden question that I fell face first into the ground.

Picking myself up I turned towards the person who was asking the question.

It was a girl, dress in quite an expensive Chinese dress, with fair skin and white hair styled in braids, she was quite cute, if I should say. She was looking at me with a curious look on her face and then she asked me again.

"What were you drawing?"

"Just some sketches of the place." I replied though, "It is bad manners to sneak up on others." I could not help by retort.

"Is it?" she seemed to ask, seemingly genuinely confused. "Well then we ask you to forgive our rude behaviour then." The girl said, not even seeming even a bit apologetic and what was with the 'we'.

"Forgiven." I sighed, it seemed that she was some sort of noble or was someone who belonged to a very rich family.

"Though we must say that you need to improve upon your meagre ability if that is what you call a sketch, it frankly looks more like scribbles and horrid mismatch of lines and shades." The girl commented on my sketches with brutal, brutal honesty and by her expression I was sure that the girl was simply trying to help me, by giving me advice.

Her innocent expression was proof of that. I could not help but curl up and start making patterns in the ground.

"Did I offend you again? That you are looking like someone gave you the gravest news possible all the while insulting all your capabilities?" Okay what was up with this girl and her style of speech? Was she just being innocent or deliberately insulting me!

"No, you did not. You were just being too honest for someone like me."

"Too honest for someone like you, does our honestly offend you? If so we apologise to you and ask you to bear with our honesty as we were taught to always be honest and speak our mind and not hold back while sharing our opinion."

This girl was really weird though I was not sure if that was because of her upbringing or her personality.

"Well if that is the case then…" I really don't know what to say, really. This was a strange experience for me.

"Oh! We never did introduce ourselves did we?" The girl suddenly said. "Our name is Jiang Lihua, daughter of Jiang Seishun and Mai lee. We ask of you if you would be our friend." She asked me with a beautiful smile on her face.

"And I am Issei Hyoudou, son of Ichika Hyoudou and Chisame Hyoudou, I would be pleased to be your friend Ms Lihua." How can I say no to such an adorable girl, when she asks me with a smile like that?

Lihua smiled at my introduction, it was not out amusement but she was showing genuine joy. She must really not have too many friends or she really liked making friends.

##########

After our introduction Lihua and I spent some hours talking. Lihua I found really liked talking and she really was innocent on some matters and lacked some common sense, not that I was any different with my 'Gamer' ability and all.

While Lihua did not talk much about her family I was able to get some clue that she belonged to the really high echelons of the country. If I didn't know that no one in their right mind would let the ruler of a superpower wonder about without guards, I would have pegged Lihua as the Princess of the Chinese Federation.

Well her social status was not that important since I was not interested in the world politics and had no intention of meddling in it. Unless something really drastic happens I was just going to be a visitor and nothing more.

"It's getting late." I said looking at the setting sun.

"Yes, it is. We must admit that it was quite fun spending time with you Mr Hyoudou." Lihua stated.

"Call me, Ise after all we did agree to be friends didn't we." Really Mr Hyoudou made it sound like I was old, really old.

"That we did." Lihua chuckled "Then we implore you to address us with our given name and without any honorifics. After all you are our friend are you not?"

"That I am" I cheerfully replied. "Anyways I better be going now, my parents would get worried if I was late."

"Will we see you again?" Lihua anxiously asked and honestly I was quite unsure whether we would ever meet again. Though I knew what I was going to say.

"Yes, we will" I said smiling "After all were friends right?"

"Goodbye then Ise"

"Goodbye Lihua."

With that we parted, I went back to the factory.

Going to the room and temporal base I shut the door and check the time on my watch. It read 5:23 PM I would return just in time for dinner. After checking for the locks again I opened the [World Door] to back home.

################

Stepping out of the [World Door] I was greeted to the sight of my personal base back in the cave, I check for the clock that hung on the wall and saw that it was 11:23 AM.

That…that was not right, the date was the same so shouldn't it be PM and not AM not to mention I left around 11:20 AM and only less than three minutes had passed during my trip when I had spent hours with Lihua.

Racking my brain for an answer I deduced that there must be some sort of time stream differences or some temporal anomaly in play. I was no expert and was only relying on borrowed knowledge but that was the closest analogue I could get.

"This might be handy." I muttered, thinking on all the implications of the thing.

"Before that I have to make sure."

With that I made several trips back and forth only stopping to let my pendants and gloves recharge their reserves.

I discovered that whenever I travel to a new world, the previous worlds become almost time locked, with only seconds passing by when days have passed on the world I was currently in.

This…this was just like having the benefits of hyperbolic time chamber without actually having one.

It was quite broken in its application and with my 'Gamer' power it was almost unfair as I could simply grind away on different worlds without having to worry about time. Though I knew it was not going to be that easy and the system might chose to time lock the worlds during certain quests or simply 'Fix it'.

For now though I was going to take the full advantage of I it.

Currently I was in some sort of jungle world with no civilization in sight nor even strange predatory animals, except for a stone ring in a strange temple. There was nothing interesting here, which suited me just fine.

Lihua's World was a technological world and i was completely magic focus for now. I had to remember that not all worlds I visit was going to be magical in nature but would also be technological too.

Thus with that I began to think on what I should do if I find myself in a technological or sci-fi world, running around with a sword would look quite ridiculous and might call in some unwanted attention. With that I went about creating a new base for myself in the temple and set up a lab too.

Here I could afford to both train and experiment more as not only space was not an issue but so was time. Due to both space and time issues and managing them back home I was not able to get in many things that I wanted to try and more. Though that constrain was now lifted and I could really get on with my vision training and experiments.

I also made note to craft and built some sci-fi weapons and gadgets so that I could blend in with some of the local non-magical populace and hide my magical skills for emergencies.

Hmm, both magic and science were quite versatile and powerful enough that having one made the other almost obsolete with only a select few circumstances which call for pure SCIENCE! Or MAGIC!

I suppose that since I could afford to have both I should cultivate both path and balance them out if I can.

"I really am going to be quite busy aren't I?" I chuckled as I planned what I was going to do in the next few weeks on this planet.

AN: So here is the newest chapter of GOaDP. Well I almost have the next chapter of the Gamer Overmind ready but I am really stuck on some scenes and thus am currently rewriting it a lot. As for my Fate summoner of Heroes don't worry I have the next chapter half completed and would post it latest by 20th of this month.

Also what do you think about this chapter I mostly went for Code Geass setting as it was one that some were requesting in the Gamer Overmind though I could not find a legitimate reason to put it there and thus decided to use it for this story. The setting of CG is quite grounded in Mechs and supernatural that I could fully showcase both aspects without it becoming too out of place and even create arcs based of it.

Normally in a CG setting any crossover character ends up helping Lelouch and while he is one of my all time favourite character I decided to go with the massively underused Tianzi of the Chinese Federation, it also opens quite the avenue for early confrontation against Britannia and the Geass Order as a whole. Also don't worry Mass Effect Fans like in the original Fic the Zerg and the Citadel Aliens will make an appearance in the 3rd, 4th and 5th chapter respectively. Though I am kind of in a bind whether to use the Turains or any of the other Citadel races. Hell I can even go with the Batarians and turn Issei into the Boggie Man they deserve, What race do you think should Issei first encounter Turians or some other race?

Any review and let me know of your thoughts and overall impact of the chapter and see ya next time, Tale Master out.
