Gamer Overmind: A different take

by Tale master redux

A young boy starts living his life as a game and thus with a quest he now takes to the stars but his journey follows a differnt path than that was preordained. Not your typical gamer fic. Contains elements from starcraft, warcraft, warhammer and lots more. Let's just say the cycle would never be the same. A different take on the Gamer Overmind.

3. Chapter 3

Chapter 3

So here I was inside my lab in an unknown world going through the blueprints of various technologies which included medical tech, weapons, armours, transportations and what not.

The list of things that I had was just too much, it was a pain sorting them all and I had only covered less than 10% of the total knowledge of the technologies that I had in my disposal.

First there were the weapons which could be divided into infantry, land, air, naval and space. WMDs got their own special category.

Under Infantry, there were the variety of guns, grenades, bombs and melee weaponry. 40K itself took a bulk of the gun designs that I had. From Auto-guns to Melta-weaponry, the Imperium had various designs for practically any situation.

Under Land units, there were tanks, vehicles, mech, PBDs and AAs along with Experimental and Titans, the last two were simple bullshit to an insane degree of Firepower and Durability, just like in the games.

Air covered gunships, fighter crafts, etc. Navel likewise covered the wet naval ships and submarines and underwater facilities, and Space covered any Space-flight capable unit, like satellites, ships and even mechs.

The WMDs ranged from intercontinental to planet busting and even system busting tech in the form of the Sun Crusher from Star Wars. And that was just the weapons category; the other fields also had so many broad levels of characterisations with more sub-categories and sub-groups too. It was taking time to sort all of them but I had managed for now.

For now I focused on getting blueprints of some rifles, a few tanks, armours and shields, some transports and quite a lot of medical tech, though I would need the last one due to my [Gamer's Body], potions, and healing spells but it would be good to have some extra insurance apart from the potions, spells and the skill.

Paranoid and Overkill much? Yes but better that than dying.

For now I had a few Auto-guns with each mag having more than five-hundred bullet capacity, with various load-outs like incendiary, armour piercing, anti-armour, anti-shields, etc. The guns operated on gauss tech giving it high rate of fire and rage and natural armour piercing capability, while the magazines of the guns had such high capacity due to a bit of miniaturisation and a bit of special Dimensional-storage tech. I would have gone for infinite ammo but I was still not well versed in the technology I was working with. So sadly no infinite ammo capacity for me, now at least later on I would see if I can do it.

Then there was a small shield generator in the form of a watch that while not too powerful could easily take some few shots from a tank, though it did not do so well against magic in general.

I also made sure to create some armour too, but sadly while they gave superior physical defence and average magical defence, the lack of bonuses and the penalties were not worth using them, though they were really suitable for the tanks and mechs I had built.

For transport I had built quite a lot with quite the variety, from a teleporter to a car and even a star fighter and a small space freighter. The medical tech also had quite the variety form pills, scanning equipment to the almost cure all Bacta.

Building them gave me a variety of skills that I was finding really useful.

[Engineering]- Passive Level: 56 EXP: 66.3%
Description: The prowess of Science and its applications given form. This skill allows the user to use his scientific knowledge to build gadgets and technologies, repair them, innovate and create new ones, decode and reverse-engineer exotic technology and combine them to create new technologies. The higher the level of this skill the more powerful the finished technologies would be, also increases the chances of innovating new tech and increases the success rate of reverse engineering and combining exotic technology.
Passively increases the rate of success of Reverse-engineering exotic technology by 56%.
Passively increases the rate of success of combining exotic technology by 56%.
Passively increases the rate of success of innovating new branches of technology by 56%.

The reason the level of this skill was so high was because I was dabbling with technologies that was really advanced and powerful in their own right. I was really getting into this Sci-fi thing, though that was not all.

While building the gadgets and equipment I did not neglect the magical side of my skills and while I did not create any new items I did learn quite a lot of new skills and spells and levelled up my existing spells to an average level of 25 to 30. With my [Creation] spell being the highest of all my spells at Level 49. I was able to level it up so my due to me needing quite a lot of crafting materials and exotic elements.

I was also able to get quite a lot of stat points from my training too, mostly STR, VIT, AGI and MAG, with a few INT and WIS points in between. I was not able to increase my LUK stat nor did I want to allocate points in it for now, so it was still at an even 10.

That was not all; whenever I went home I made sure to pick up some series that would supplement my skills and technology, which was why I picked up series like the Gundam series, Lyrical Nanoha and Macross series.

Frankly most of the time on this world was spent training and building new gadgets and technologies. Though in between I made sure to go back home and spend time with my parent and even go to the Chinese Federation and meet up with Lihua.

Our meetings were quite rare and sometimes we had to cut them short but they were enjoyable nonetheless. Often times we simply spent our time talking about inane things and sometimes even debating about tanks, mechs and even Gundams. I was even able to get her to play some games with me. She was a bit clumsy and sometimes could not follow the rules of the game quite well but we regardless of that we had quite the fun. It kind of reminded me of my time with Iri.

Thinking about her I really should go and pay her a visit.

Making up my mind I put aside my tools got my gear and opened a portal to the CF.

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

I was able to meet up with Lihua in our usual meeting place the park, she was quite happy to see me though I felt that there was something nagging her.

I thought of asking her but then decided that it was not my place to do so, but as time passed by I saw that Lihua was quite out of it. She was only paying minimum attention to our conversations and games.

Frustrated, I simply asked her what was nagging with her today.

"So mind telling me what is on your mind Lihua?"

My sudden question seemed to have caught her by surprise as she stuttered a bit.

"Eh…wha-what's with the question Ise, there is nothing wrong with us today." She stated, it seemed that she did not want to share what was nagging her but I was a bit worried for her so I pressed on.

"You are a terrible liar Lihua and I can clearly tell that you are distracted and that something is eating you from the inside."

"What! There is something eating us from the inside!" Lihua screamed sounding quite scared at the notion. Have I mention how she sometimes takes my words literally.

"It was a figure of speech Lihua." I deadpanned, seriously in the three months that she had known me; she should have already known not to take my words literally.

"Well, why you didn't say so. You really use some strange idioms and figures of speech Ise." Lihua said, after calming down a bit.

"Like you're one to talk." I retorted. "Still mind telling me what's on your mind?"

"Well…Okay." Lihua finally said after giving it some thought, I do wonder what it was.

"Ise, do you remember the time you brought some of your Gundams and MSs over?" Lihua asked.

"Yeah and we debated how effective they would be against modern tanks and infantry." I replied, not getting what she was trying to say. "I even got you to admit that the Zaku series was the best grunt type model too." I smirked, remembering how much of a shine Lihua had taken to the Zaku.

"Yes and we still hold to the belief that they could kill those fancy GUNDAMs of yours." Lihua stated vehemently, she really did not like the fact that the Gundams trashed the Zakus in a fight, saying that they were nothing more than writer's pet and what not.

"Anyways we had debated on that and you said that they were but a pipe dream and no nation had enough capital and tech to field them." I continued not wanting to get her into another rant about how Zakus trumped Gundams. Though I think I got the idea of what she was hinting at.

"Don't tell me that some nation has been successful in creating a mass producible mech?" I asked Lihua who nodded in affirmation.

"How?" I asked "How is it that a nation has enough capital and technology to even create much less crazy enough to fund such a thing?"

Seriously, what nation in their right mind would fund such a thing? Mechs for all sorts of reasons were not the first thing that comes to mind for military matters, with how ridiculous the very idea seemed to be and they have to have some sort of following and benchmark technology to even conceive such an idea and prove its effectiveness. It should be popular for years before any military fully integrates them into their forces.

"Well our spies in the Britannian Military have uncovered some disturbing facts." Lihua said pulling out a data pad and showing me a video of a strange mech which while looked very clumsy and fragile by my newfound standards, was showing incredible mobility.

"This is the video of the mech that Britannia is developing under the orders of Queen Marianne Vi Britannia." Well that answered a few questions, under a monarchy if the royal family wanted something then the retainers were going to try their best to accommodate to their needs, even going as far as field testing untested and unproven technology. Though I guess even they might have to do some safety checks first.

"The mech design is not that potent as a Mobile Suit and nowhere near its durability or combat capabilities, still compared to the modern military equipment it is nothing to scoff at, even though many of the generals are not taking it that seriously." Lihua said and I could see the frustration on her face too. Boy, these generals must be quite stubborn to make her feel like this.

"I was also going to write the mech off as nothing but a passing interest of the royal family but…"

"But?"

"…but then I saw the data on its design and the statistics on its performance."

"And what were its performance capabilities."

"It is not that durable of a machine with its armour not able to withstand tank rounds or anti-armour weaponry, nor is it the fastest as its top speeds only clocks in at 60 KM per hour."

That was not that bad but compared to some of the modern tanks not that good too. Though I could guess where its strength laid and what it meant for the warfare doctrine of this world.

"Well looking at your expression, we guess you have already deduced what its real strengths are?" Lihua asked already knowing the answer.

"Mobility, variety and I guess that it is also mass producible." I replied.

"Correct, Ise. The mech is highly mobile and able to traverse all sorts of terrain, and while its weapons are not too threatening at first glance at close combat it can even take on tanks and come out on top, not to mention that it can be fitted with a plethora of other weapon systems independent or otherwise. Its small stature combined with its overall mobility also allows it to be used easily in urban warfare where tanks and other vehicles may face difficulty. The mech is not only easily mass producible but it is also quite easy to use too requiring only minimum training to do so and due it needing only a single pilot they can be fielded without much difficulty with an average level of skills among its pilots." Lihua said listing out the various capabilities of the machine.

That was not really what I was expecting, the only weakness that I was seeing was that it had weak armour and that it might be extremely vulnerable to naval and air assets, which could be mitigated either by using Anti-Air weaponry like flake cannons and avoiding off-shore bombardments. Fitting it with a flight system and it could easily take on Naval Assets if they are careful, same with air units, though I did not see any indication of it having any flight system.

"So what is your opinion about this Ise?" Lihua asked.

"First off all Lihua you should not be giving out military secrets." I scolded her she really should not be giving out state secrets like that. Lihua for her part did not even seem to be phased at my statement.

"Secondly, as far as I can tell it is vulnerable to aerial assets and its weak armour and its top speed means that an armour line backed with artillery and air support would fair quite well against a company of this machines." Difficult, yes but it was still doable under a competent commander.

"Finally the third and most important point of all, why? Why tell me all this Lihua?" I asked curious of why she was telling me this.

"Because there is only one machine that is capable of standing up and going head to head with these mechs." Lihua said showing me the picture of the machine in the data pad.

I could not help but twitch a bit at seeing that.

"Lihua…"

"Yes Ise."

"This…this is a Tsunami tank."

"Yes, we are completely aware of what it is Ise so please do not point out the obvious."

"I'll say this again. This is a Tsunami Tank, a fictional tank that exists only in a game and not in real life." I all but shouted at her. Granted I could make one and even set a production line for it but I wanted to see what Lihua was really after.

"Yes and we are also aware of the fact that you can built one." Lihua stated, I wonder when and how she figured it out.

"How…no when did you figured out I can build one?" I asked and Lihua smirked, she actually smirked. I must have fallen into some sort of trap laid by her.

"We figured that you can build one due to you listing out its various flaws and strengths which one could not have known if they were not intimately familiar with the machine and its inner workings. And do not deny it Ise, I cross checked them with some reputed engineers to see if everything you said was correct and found that they could theoretically create one based on your explanations." Lihua proudly stated. "I even know that you can even build a Mobile Suit if you were given proper resources."

"I don't know why you felt the need to cross check my explanations with 'Reputed Engineers' or how you even do it in the first place and no I am not going to create MSs for you." I stated, really did this girl really had to cross check my explanations. They were meant for simple debates and ones that should be written off as a child's ignorant prattle not the intellectual ramblings of a genius scientist.

"Well, even we think that MSs are bit overkill." Lihua admitted "and as much as we would like to see Zakus taking the field the cost might far outweigh the gain. Since the Federation does not have the insane economy of the Zeon."

While she may say that I knew that she really wanted to field Zakus and be done with it. The only thing holding her back from doing so was the CF's economy and the lack of technical expertise on maintaining and creating them.

"Ok, ok I get what you are trying to say." I interrupted her; I did not want her to go off tangent. "Basically you want my help."

"Yes, that is what we want."

"You could have just asked you know." I said and really I would have answered yes if she asked me though not before giving her all sorts of warning and a long winded lecture.

"And subject ourselves to an hour long lecture and a long winded answer of affirmation. Sorry but even we do not have the patients to sit through something like that." Lihua replied stoically. I'm not that bad am i?

"Yes you are." Lihua stated as if reading my mind though that just must have been her reading my expressions.

"Well, geez, fine." I said rolling my eyes at her statement.

"As to your request for helping you, Lihua, you have my full support and I will endeavour to help you in any way I can." 'Even if it meant meddling with this world's policies and what not' I thought 'and to think that I was just going to be a visitor of sorts.'

Lihua's face brightened at my statement, her previous worries gone from her expression. She really must have thought long and hard about how to approach me on the subject, though by now she should have already known my answer.

"We really do appreciate your willingness to aid us Ise, though, are you really wiling to shoulder the burden of this decision?" her face fell slightly when she said that, her worry for me clear on her face.

The consequences of my decision would not only affect the CF as a whole but this entire world itself. The technologies and knowledge of the mystic arts that I brought to the table were frightening to an insane degree and could end human civilization as they knew it. But my friend had asked for my help so how could I refuse her.

"Yes and nothing you say will change my mind, Lihua." I replied, firmly holding on to the decision I had made.

Lihua said nothing for a while and there were emotions on her face that I could not recognise though I could really feel the joy she felt in that moment. Then she surprised me with a hug.

"Thank you, Ise." Lihua whispered hugging me and I felt something wet fall on my clothes.

Letting go of her hug, Lihua wiped the tears from her eyes. "I will have to go now, Ise. To make preparations for your arrival and arrange for the equipment's and other things like your new office, lab and what not. It would take me sometime but most of them would take only a week with the others requiring your personal input to operate at optimum efficiency." She told me, listing off the things that she was going to need and was willing to provide me with.

"You really were preparing this for quite some time weren't you Lihua?" I asked her rhetorically.

"Yes, we were." Lihua replied with a small chuckle then looking at me I could see that she was a bit reluctant to leave but "We have to go now and make preparation, so we guess we have to cut out meeting short."

"Well I can't stop you from going then."

"Good bye ise."

"Good bye Lihua, and see ya later and safe journey."

"You too, Ise."

Watching her go I had to simply get the one last thing to say her before I left the park.

"And Lihua" I called out to her.

Turning around she looked at me wondering what I was going to say.

"Even though you are the Tianzi of the Chinese Federation does not mean that you can share state secrets like that, next time be more careful. You got it." I shouted.

By her expression it was clear she was not expecting me to know that little titbit but hey [Observe] did not care too much about privacy or secrets.

"We will keep that in mind." She replied still quite shocked at my revelation.

Smiling, l left the park and quickly returned to my base in the factory and from there to my lab in the abandoned temple world. You know I really should think of a name for it.

Now what kind of tank should I build for the CF decisions, decisions, oh I was going to have quite some fun with this venture.

Not to mention have fun completing the quest I had gotten from Lihua.

Title: Rise of the Dragon Army
Objective: Help the Chinese Federation built a competent military force by designing new combat military vehicles and weapons, and training their military personnel to higher ranks.
Time Limit: 5 years
Reward: 200,000 EXP, 500,000,000 Yen, Increase Relationship with Lihua, Increase Relationship with the Chinese Federation,?,?,?.
Failure: Decrease relationship with Lihua, Decrease relationship with the Chinese Federation, Possible Death, Possible Destruction of the Chinese Federation,?,?,?.

Though Lihua had phase the request, my powers had taken it up as a quest and without even me knowing about it, I had automatically accepted it, though that might be because I had already made my mind about it.

Speaking of quests I had not paid much attention to my 'Rise of the Zerg' quest, might see what I can do for that too while designing the tanks and weaponry.

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

'He knew' Lihua thought, as she replayed the parting words of her friend. 'He knew, yet he did not treat me any differently than when we first met.'

"So that's the boy who designed the Tsunami Tank."

She was broken out of her thoughts by the voice of her companion, Li Xian, head scientist of the Chinese Military Research and Development Division, an eccentric man with an equally intelligent mind to match.

He had come with her to see the person behind the design of the devastatingly-versatile machine that was the Tsunami Tank. He and his division had being working hard to create a prototype of the Tsunami Tank based on the information they had received but were still lacking bits and pieces to make a fully functional one.

"The boy doesn't look like much and I still say your majesty that my team can make a functional prototype soon. We should not rely on that outsider." He said with a sneer making it clear on how he viewed the situation.

He was one of the few who saw the danger possessed by the Britannian Knightmare and for now their best hopes for countering the thing was the damn tank of the Imperial, since they were not able to get the technology behind the Knightmares creation.

"And in the time you even complete your prototype the Britannian Army would have fielded several of their new Knightmares and taken the entirety of Japan. And you will take care to see that you do not slander our Friend's capabilities." Lihua stoically replied, though Li Xian knew that he had managed to garner her ire.

"Forgive this humble servant of yours, your majesty, though I am not the only one who shares this opinion of working with the Imperial, too much bad blood between our nations."

'Of course we know that.' Lihua bitterly thought as she remembered how many of the high ranking officials were opposed to her decision on this. They had at first agreed with her but after learning of Issei's origins many became outright hostile to the idea. It was only after she had told them that any expenditure for the projects with Issei at the helm would be paid by her family that they had agreed albeit reluctantly.

"Still, we have achieved our objectives and gain the aid of a valuable ally. The path to our nation's prosperity has opened to us and we should not stray from it due to not liking the ones who accompany us on this journey." Lihua said, and though she did not voice it, Xian knew that it was practically an order to shut up and work with the boy, whether he liked it or not.

"Well said your majesty. We should not let past grievances and feuds stop the prosperity of our nation." a third voice filled with approval for her said.

Lihua and Xian both turned and face the speaker, Li Xingke, Lihua's bodyguard and a high ranking General of the Chines army.

"Though I could not help but notice that you did not mention anything about Britannia's plans to invade Japan, surely the information about the threat to his homeland's sovereignty would have cemented his aid." Xingke said making Lihua wince at pointing out that fact.

"We felt that it was not news of major importance for my friend nor the time and place to reveal such sensitive information." Lihua replied though in reality she was a bit afraid of what Issei would have done if he knew of the upcoming invasion. As much as she was disgusted by it, the Chinese Federation had much to gain from the invasion just as much a Britannia would and she as the Tianzi had to look to her nation's interest even if it was at the expense of her friend's homeland.

'I really wish that I had remained ignorant about the world and the responsibilities my position carried if it meant taking such decisions.' Lihua bitterly thought. 'Though' Lihua thought letting a small smile grace her face as she reminisced about their first meeting 'then I would have never met him would I?'

Shaking her head and getting out of her memories she ordered her companions to take her home. During the journey Lihua could not help but wonder with a bit of fear how the coming events would shape her friendship with her first and only friend.

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

Xingke saw the conflicting emotions on the face of his young charge. He knew that Lihua greatly valued the friendship between her and the young Japanese boy. His question, it seemed had brought quite a lot of distress to the young Empress.

He knew that Britannia was planning to invade Japan and that the Chinese Federation was going to take the opportunity created by the invasion to assimilate territories of Japan and secure their own source of the vital metal, Sakuradite.

While it was an underhanded tactic, Xingke knew that another opportunity such as this would not appear before them again and while it would be almost impossible to fully conquer the Island nation due to the Britannian invasion. They would be able to able to conquer quite a lot of vital territories.

'Or we would have if not for the Knightmares.'

Knightmares, a machine that many of the military brass had brushed it off as an insane fruitless venture by the mad royal family, fancy and nothing but a wish fulfilment machine, they had seen no practical use of the machine.

'Not before the Empress pointed them out and was that not a sight.' Xingke smiled at that particular incident.

The meeting was one of the many regular meetings that the Tianzi had, consisting of the military officials giving a report on their military status, overall strengths and new developments that they had received reports of, one in which consisted the reports on the Knightmare development.

The Tianzi, like any was seemingly interested in them, though regrettable she was only one of the few who actually saw the possible threat possessed by them. It was only after the Tianzi practically ordered simulations to be run using the data on the Knightmares that the Generals began to take them seriously.

From the simulations the Knightmares were found to be great as fast raiders and excellent at harassing and taking down fleeing enemies. In urban combat they were almost unrivalled due to the sheer amount of mobility and maneuverers they could perform due to their short stature and speed.

Many were still sceptical over the machine but there were enough people who admitted that they could not afford to ignore the capabilities of the machine, combine that with the wealth and power of Britannia it was painting a worrying picture.

'And we have to take the help of an old enemy, one that no one trusts.' Xingke thought as how they had to rely on the imperial. Though Xingke had nothing against the boy, his origins did nothing to endear the boy to him.

The Japanese or imperials as many called them were not well like in the global community, from their previous imperialistic expansions to them playing the three global superpowers against each other all the while holding their sakuradite reserves over them.

'I just hope that Tianzi knows what she is doing.' Xingke thought 'Though she has learned and grown a lot in the past year, there are still things that she still is ignorant off.'

Reminiscing about the past year where Lihua had taken a more active approach in her role as the Tianzi of the Federation. Xingke could not help but smile and feel a sense of pride in seeing the young Empress live up to her title as the ruler of the Federation.

'And to think that all that it all started because she wanted to go to a festival.' Xingke sighed. He had been the one who had help Lihua escape her usual security and whatever she had witnessed in the festival had greatly affected her.

'I and my fellow colleagues would have to really pick up the slack and help sort up the mess the two would create.' Xingke thought as he made plans to help the young empress in her endeavour. 'After all it would be shameful to let children decide the fate of the world.'

Unknown World, Laboratory

I was back in my lab and was going through what I could do to create a Tsunami Tank.

At first I thought of going with the basic design and simply am done with it, but I felt like tinkering with it a bit more and thus I modified its basic design.

It was still amphibious and could traverse all kinds of terrains with minimum difficulty but unlike before it was now faster than before with its top speed clocking in at 320KM per Hour. Fast I know but such speed would be need against the Knightmare that I had seen.

While the current generation was not much that was not to say the subsequent designs would not change radically. People like mechs and giant robots and thus once the Knightmare proved effective they would pitch in all sorts of ideas and get things done and making tanks almost obsolete, which was something I wanted to avoid.

Back to the tank, I made sure to give it the best armour I could give it but I kept in mind of the technological and economical capabilities of the CF so that the Tsunami tank I design would not be an elite unit but something that could easily be mass producible by their standards.

Here the metallurgical knowledge of the Imperium of Man helped a lot. They in order to produce their sturdy tanks like the Leman Russ had used all sorts of metal composition to make it the sturdy reliable machine that it was. Their methods while shoddy and imperfect at times were dirt cheap and easily replicable, not to mention could be improved with some adjustment and still produce cheap but strong armour for tanks.

Currently the armour plating I was using for the Tsunami could take quite a lot of punishment before it starts showing signs of damage. For an accurate measurement the Tsunami Tank could reliably take on eight Allied Guardian Tanks before its armour gives out. It was certainly not the best armour I could give it but anything more than this and it would become too expensive to reliably mass produce without playing havoc on the CF's economy.

Then there were the weapons, a gauss cannon for anti-armour and anti-infantry work, an auto-gun suitable for anti-infantry and anti-air and two small photon missile pods for anti-armour and anti-air. The gauss cannon was quite a powerful one with max effective range of 2 KM with max range of 10KM, it was quite powerful and could take out tanks in a single shot with its powerful and accurate shots. The auto-gun had fire rate of 3600rpm and a 3000 round capacity per box, it was powerful enough to take on lighter armoured vehicles and easily take out aircrafts with its rate of fire and armour piercing rounds. The photon missiles were the same as the ones that the Rocket Angels used in Red Alert and thus were powerful enough to take on tanks and aircrafts.

I made sure that the weapons were easily replicable without losing their potency and while they were not as powerful as they could be, it was enough for now.

I was happy with the finished design but I felt that it was not enough. I was after all given the task of improving the overall military of the Chinese Federation and one tank design was not going to cut it.

Thus I began to browse though the available designs and selected several designs which would suit the Chinese Federation's tactics of cheap and mass producible yet versatile and reliable.

Among the selected designs was the Federation Type-61 Tank from the Gundam-verse, the Empire Mecha-Tengu, the Empire Yari Mini-Sub and Empire Sea-wing from RA, the Terran Siege Tank from StarCraft and finally the Imperial Chimera Troop Transport from 40K.

I selected all of them as they were quite within the tech base of the Chinese Federation barring the Tengu and the Sea-wing, those two were quite advance compared to the Tech of the Chinese Federation but were still in the realms of possibility. Empire tech like the King-oni would be too much for the CF though I could introduce them in a few years.

Making one working prototype of the chosen designs I loaded each one of them on special transports. Now all I had to wait was for Lihua to tell me where I would send them for testing.

For the time being I would devote my time to creating a Zerg specimen and try to complete the 'Rise of the Zerg Quest'

I thought about what methods I had with which I could complete it. [Creation] was out for now as it was still at level 38 and I would need seven more levels before I was completely sure that it would not result in some misshapen monster. Levelling it up would take time and my lowest estimate was somewhere in months with how slow it was levelling. It was a viable method but one that would take time, something to consider if nothing else.

Next was cloning and a bit of bio-tinkering, this method would allow me to create the Zerg at near perfect replication and it would not even take much time considering the amount of advance bio-tech I had at my disposal. Though there was a slight problem with this method.

I was not sure if I could fully encode the Zerg DNA and give it the basic database that every Zerg had and make sure that it I did not have to build the entire Zerg Database from scratch. The Zerg were all about adapting and growing stronger but the loss of Ultralisks and other iconic Zerg units will really, really hurt them.

It was a risk but I was quite confident that I could pull it off. Though before that I needed to gather samples of insects and reptiles to form the basis and then start to modify them into Zerg DNA. I would have to be careful in what sort of DNA I should gather and thus relegating this task could prove troublesome, which meant.

"It's time to go exploring again." With a grin I took my adventurer hat and Explorer vest and opened the door to a different world.

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

With a splash I hit the cold water of an unknown lake. I really should start learning how to control the [World Door] and where I ended up, instead of letting it decided the destination for me.

The last two world while were rich in the samples I needed, it was certainly not fun in the least.

One had prehistoric dinosaurs running around and I found the ruins of a park. Three guesses on the parks name and the first two don't count.

The next one was much tame compared to the first since I was not being chased by a T-rex, but it still ended up with me on a planet full of giant bugs and I think I even saw some marines fighting a hoard of those things. By their cheers I concluded that they had ever thing in order so I chose not to interfere, but that did not mean that I did not froze, burn and shocked a few of those that came after me. It was quite a scary experience being chased by giant bugs but strangely that motivated me to really finish the quest and create the Zerg. Let's see how those bugs fare against the super-adapting bio-weapons alien bug race of StarCraft.

Kukuku…oh the fun I would have squashing them with my Zergs.

But that was for later right now I was in a lake and I was trying my best to get to the shore by using the rudimentary swimming lessons taught in the school. I was not the best in my school and was just an average swimmer though it was still enough to keep me from drowning. I don't know whether my [Gamer] ability would even allow me to drown or no but with how characters in games easily died in video-games I was not going to take any chances not when my life ran on video-game mechanics. It was the my ability decided to help me and gave me the [Swimming] skill.

After reaching the shore the first thing I did was conjure some fire and started drying myself.

My clothes were all wet so I had no choice but to remove them though it was a good thing that I had an extra set of clothes though it was not something I wanted to currently wear but beggars can't be choosers.

So I was in nothing but a plain white shirt, a pair of black pants and a small blue cloak covering me. It frankly gave me a mage look for now, though I unsure of the overall impact, still cloak did give quite good bonuses though nothing like my vest and hat.

"Hmm, let's see today in my exploration I ran into prehistoric dinosaurs and alien space bugs. Throw in some dragons and I think I would have covered the historical, sci-fic and fantasy themes." I muttered then chuckling I said something that I had no idea I was going to regret later.

"But it's not like I was going to encounter a dragon just like that out in the middle of nowhere?"

In reply I was greeted to a shrill roar in the distance and saw the figure of a flying reptilian figure, that was letting loose streams of fire and was heading my way.

Looking at the sky I could not help but shout "That was a rhetorical question!"

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

"There is that roar again, the dragon is quite close now." Almehiem said looking in the direction from where the roar originated.

He was calm and collected with his face showing no sign of fear and anxiety. That calmness and fearless expression on his face showed how well he was handling the situation and that that made her quite angry.

'That dragon killed several of kin and injured many more and yet he is still calm as ever. Does he feel nothing about those who fell to the dragon that he is acting so calm about the situation?' she inwardly raged at Almehiem, yet she made sure to control herself from expressing her displeasure.

"Is something wrong Merrill?" Almehiem inquired "You look anxious. Is something bothering you?"

Something snapped inside her when Almehiem asked that question and it was due to her training with the Keeper that she restrained herself from shouting at him, though the words she spoke clearly showed her displeasure.

"Oh why should I be feeling anxious or let something bother me at all." She replied in all too sweet tone dripping with venom. "It's not like I am on a hunting party with a single ranger hunting a dragon that killed some of our best warriors" Her voice slowly gaining a sarcastic tone and with her words gaining mocking edge to them "and it's not like I saw my friends and kin burned and torn apart by said dragon right before my eyes JUST THIS MORNING!" she shouted at the end.

"No it's not like something like that would bother me nor make me anxious at all."

Almehiem just stood there expressionless, simply staring at her and said.

"Are you done?"

"Wha-what?" Merrill stuttered, her mind blanking at the question.

"I said are you done yet with your little tantrum."

"Tantrum…TANTRUM!" Merrill growled "It was not a tantrum, Almehiem. Do you even care about those that were killed today that you are acting so nonchalant about it?"

Almehiem didn't answer but simply shook his head and walked away.

"I asked you a question?!" Merrill growled at the retreating figure of the ranger, shooting a fire ball in his direction.

The fireball missed Almehiem and hit a tree, scorching its barks.

"If that is your best aim than you won't be able hit the dragon, Merrill." Almehiem said looking at the scorched tree not even slowing down one bit. "And save your energy you would need it to face the dragon."

"We are not done here Almehiem, not done yet. Come back and answer my question." Merrill shouted readying to shoot another fireball but was interrupted when an arrow suddenly flew and grazed her cheek drawing a bit of blood.

"No Merrill we are done. I was entrusted by the Keeper to hunt down the beast and I was chosen to lead the hunt." Almehiem said in a low growl. "So you will follow my orders and I order you to shut up and follow my lead."

She glared at the ranger and was going to refuse his order when a load roar rang though the forest.

"That was the dragon." Merrill stated, as she recognised the roar, yet it sounded a bit different.

Another roar rang out this time Merrill was able to recognise what exactly was wrong with the roar.

"It sound like it's in pain." She stated, confused at why the dragon sounded like that.

"It is fighting something." Almehiem stated, recognising the tall tell signs of a call of battle due to his experience with beasts other creature. "We have no time to waste, Merrill. Hurry before the battle ends."

Merrill simply nodded her head in affirmation, her previous anger forgotten in the wake of the roar. She followed Almehiem to the direction of the battle and on their way they were greeted with the occasional roar and sounds of explosions and tremors.

'Whoever is fighting the dragon must have lots of mages or a really powerful Archmage in their midst who can cause such explosions and tremors.' Merrill thought, feeling a bit excited at the prospect of meeting other mages and if possible maybe even learn some new things.

Thus the scene she was greeted to when she reached the place where the fighting was taking place was not what she was expecting in the least.

There in the middle of the rocky clearing the dragon was staring down at a Human child, who Merrill could tell was no older than 11. The scorched marks and burnt wood told her that this was the place where the dragon was fighting and yet she saw no corpses or any mage or warrior apart from the human child.

She was about to rush toward the boy and save him but was stopped by Almehiem who grabbed her and dragged her behind a boulder for cover.

Merrill did not understand what Almehiem was trying to do or how he could simply stand by and not help the helpless child. She was going to argue but was silenced by Almehiem who pointed at the dragon and the child.

It seemed that the child was not so helpless after all.

The dragon let loose a stream of fire towards the child intent on ending his life but in response the boy disappeared from his position, avoiding the stream of fire and reappearing right behind the dragon.

'Teleportation' her mind supplied as Merrill watch with her jaws wide open, flabbergasted at how a young boy could perform such advance and difficult magic for his age with such ease. Then the boy shocked her further by letting loose a stream of lightning and judging by the sheer amount of magic she could feel, the lightning was more powerful that what she had seen any other mage conjure in her life.

The dragon was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was roaring in pain from being shocked, yet it was able to endure the powerful attack and quickly turned, letting loose streams of fire towards the boy.

The boy teleported again, blinking out of existence and reappearing a bit further away from the dragon that had streams of sparks appearing over its body.

Merrill could see the boy smiling at the dragon's predicament and though it was not a blood thirsty smile, it was still an unnerving one.

The boy then spread his arms and bowed a bit, a gesture that Merrill recognised, 'He's mocking the dragon, 'Asking it if that was it.' Is he insane?' Merrill thought, questioning the sanity of the boy at provoking a dragon of all things.

And as predicted the dragon was angry and in its fury charged at the boy. In response the boy teleported, this time reappearing above the dragon and let loose dozens of white arrows, which Merrill could sense were made of pure magic.

The arrows struck true, piecing the hide and flesh of the dragon, tearing its wings in places where they now sported holes, screaming and trashing the dragon looked like a pincushion with the white arrows stuck in its body. The arrows were also burning the dragon in the places where they were stuck dealing more damage to the beast.

The boy landed safely some distance away from the trashing dragon, which was trying to get rid of the arrows and was succeeding as the arrows broke apart and dissipated as they came off due to the violent movements of the dragon.

While the dragon was trying to remove the arrows, the boy took something out from his pockets, two golden yellowish spheres with strange pins and accessories on them. The boy removed the pins from both the spheres and threw them towards the dragon, one hitting the head of the dragon and the other rolling below its belly.

In the next instance the spheres exploded spreading waves of heat and shrapnel in all direction, though it did not reach their hiding place. While the damage did not seem too much from an observers point of view Merrill was sure that no one not even the most heavily armoured warrior could survive that explosion, which was why she was stunned to see the dragon only mildly disoriented and sporting only a few burns.

Though for Merrill there was one question plaguing her 'How was the boy able to carry those spheres in those tiny pockets?'

"Oh come on," Merrill heard the boy whined "that was a point blank explosion. How high is your defence?" the boy shouted at the dragon and Merrill could literally feel the utter shock rolling off of him.

The dragon did not reply to the boy's question and charged at him wildly slashing the air with its claws and snapping its jaws every time the boy came near them. The boy in a remarkable display of agility dodged the fast slashes of the dragon and its jaws of death, as he weaved between them like it was a dance, though the dragon was moving just too fast for the boy to retaliate.

Then the boy made a mistake, he stumbled on something and fell, the dragon capitalised on the boy's mistake and with a vicious strike smacked the boy across the field, sending him crashing in to a boulder. Before the boy could even recover the dragon let loose a vicious stream of fire but this time the fire was different, instead of the angry red colour it previously had, it was now blue like the cold fury of the dragon.

The fire melted everything in its path with the very earth reduced to molten lava, the boy was unable to move out of the way in time and Merrill saw the stream of fire consume his form and melt even the boulder behind him in its wake.

The dragon kept up its attack for minutes on end and was vaporising everything its flame touched. It was making sure its enemy was dead and even though Merrill was greatly impressed and was in awe at the boy's capabilities she doubted that the boy had survived. And she was proven right, much to her distress, when there was nothing but molten earth and lava where the boy had once been.

The dragon seemed happy to seeing that its enemy was vanquished and thus let loose a crackling laugh, its laughter was not something Merrill wanted to hear as it signified the end of their hope of defeating the beast.

The dragon's prowess was far beyond what they had imagined and there was no one near powerful enough in their tribe that would be able to take down the dragon, even if they worked together there was little to no chance of survival yet alone of winning as their best warriors and hunters had already being killed by the dragon leaving only a few veterans and rookies who would not be able to work together well.

The boy had also been one of the most powerful mage that Merrill ever knew not even the keeper came close to the level of power displayed by the boy, thus not even she would have a chance of slaying the beast even if Merrill herself lend whatever aid she could provide.

With their warriors in disarry and their best dead, their magic all but useless in this scenario it seems that the dragon was going to get away with the massacre it caused. As much as Merrill hated to admit it there was hardly anything that they could do in their state.

Looking back at the dragon Merrill thought of attacking the beast and killing it then and there before it could recover from its injuries, even Almehiem seemed to have the same thoughts as he readied his bow and notched a strange arrow with a blue liquid dripping from its tip.

'Poison' Merrill regonised 'He intends to poison the dragon.' a good tactic Merrill would admit but how effective was the poison or how much it would hinder the dragon. she knew that they had only one shot at taking down the dragon, even with its injuries it had shown extreme resilience and power and thus Merrill had no idea if the poison would even work not.

She prayed it worked else they would be dead in seconds the dragon found them.

She waited for Almehiem to release his arrow and waited for the familiar sound of the bowstring being pulled and released, yet it never came. She glanced at Almehiem and saw him shaking, it was subtle but she could see his hand and aim falter his eyes lit with fear.

Merrill was confused at what was making him so scared and thus she looked in the direction where Almehiem was looking. There Merrill saw something that dashed all hopes of their survival.

The dragon was gazing in their direction, its eyes and demeanour clearly indicating that it knew they were there but that was not what scared Merrill or even Almehiem, it was the fact that the dragon's injuries were healing.

It was also not healing in the traditional sense where its wounds would slowly heal but it was like time itself had reversed and was healing the dragon leaving its scales unblemished and unmarred by the battle it fought. Gone were the burned holes in its wings and back, gone were the scorched skin struck by lightning and the burned scales left by the two golden spheres. It was as if it had not gotten into a fight and had just woken up, healthy and refreshed.

There was no chance that they would win and with the dragon spotting them Merrill doubted that they could even survive.

"Hey you oversized lizard." Someone shouted and Merrill recognised the voice but that was impossible she had seen him burnt to cinders by the flames.

Both the dragon and Merrill turned to see where the voice originated and surely there was the boy sitting on a small boulder showing no signs of being burned or injured by the dragon's attack holding a hammer that was crackling with lightning.

"Before I was going easy on you since I wanted to take some samples only but now I am simply going to kill you and harvest your whole body for materials." The boy said, shocking Merrill at the fact that he was holding back.

"So what do you say ready for round two of our Mortal Combat?" the boy asked the dragon.

The dragon to the shock of all spoke as it replied to the boy's challenge.

"I accept your challenge faker. I would take great pleasure killing you and feasting on your corpse. Hear this and remember it well faker, none can stand the might of a dragon and I who is one would be the end to your wretched existence faker."

"I am not a faker dragon that title belongs to a certain red Archer, which I am not." the boy tried to corrected the dragon

"It matters not what you think faker" The Dragon snorted ignoring the boy's words "for the crime of mimicking the power of dragons I shall slay you here and now." with that the dragon charged at the boy.

"But I did not even learn any Dragon Slaying magic." Merrill heard boy mumbled confused at the dragon's statement.

Dodging the dragon's charge the boy teleported away and reappearing above the dragon head he swung the hammer and hit the dragon with great force, rattling and shocking the dragon as lightening coursed through the hammer and into the dragon's body.

The boy kept hammering away at the dragon's body cracking its scales and doing immense damage. Each strike generated lightning which further increased the damage the boy was dealing and in a few moments the boy had almost surpassed the damage he had previously dealt. The dragon, Dimaria, tried its best to get the boy off its back but the boy kept his balance and used the horns and scales on the dragon's body to avoid falling off.

Lightning kept coursing through the dragon's body shocking and at times paralysing the dragon which allowed the boy chances to land more hits on the dragon.

After what seemed an eternity the dragon was finally able to get the boy off its back. The boy was quick to teleport out of the way. Landing at a safe distance the boy raised his hammer as if it was a staff and began to send bolts of lightning towards the dragon roaring the name of the spell "[Chain Lightning]".

The bolts of lightning were more powerful this time, each one tearing the very earth beneath them as the hammered away at the dragon. The boy did not let up his attack as he used his free hand to cast another spell this time a different one "[Thundara]". This time lightning fell from the sky hitting the dragon with full force.

The boy kept his relentless barrage of magical attacks, every time the dragon tried to charge the boy teleported and then resume his combo of attacks, the boy occasionally let loose some ice spells to counter the dragon's fire attacks and some fire spells too but it seemed that the two lightning spells were his main offensive spells.

'How in the world is he powering the spells?' Merrill thought. The amount of power the spells had meant that they would be extremely draining for the caster to cast even once and yet the boy was casually flinging waves upon waves of those powerful spells.

Merrill felt something stir in the air, magic from the entire valley itself was being shifted and changing its direction. She felt them coursing through the air and gather, converge and merge in such a high concentration that they became visible to the naked eye, forming blue streams that looked like flowing rivers of water.

'Is this the boy's doing?' Merrill wondered, the boy had already shown remarkable magical skills so it was possible, glancing at the boy Merrill knew that he was not responsible. 'So whose doing is it?'

If not the boy than who was responsible for such a shift, Merrill wondered, there was only one other being who could cause it, her eye widen as she was able to confirm it "The dragon is causing this." She said fearfully, just when she had seemed to have grasped the limits of the boy and the dragon's abilities they just seemed to shatter her perception of them with each passing moment.

The streams of magic converged on the dragon and time reversed on itself as it began to heal from its wounds. The boy kept up his relentless attack not even seemingly bothered in the slightest by the newest development though Merrill could see that the boy was deep in thought, most probably planning something.

The dragon using a portion of the gathered magical energy let a massive earthquake that shattered the very earth and send bits of rocks and debris in all direction.

The boy had to stop his attacks in order to dodge the incoming projectile and regain his footing which was something that the dragon was aiming for.

The dragon flew into the air with the streams of magical energies following it into the air. After it reached a certain height the dragon began to absorb the gathered magical energy and then began to form a black orb in its jaws.

Merrill was not able to recognise what the dragon was trying to do but instinctively knew that it was something big but unlike her the boy seemed to know exactly what the dragon was trying to do.

"Oh no, I am not going to let you pull an Acnologia on me!" the boy shouted and then began chanting a spell in a language that she had never heard of before "Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister! To Sumbolaion Diakoneto Moi Basilik Ouranionon!..." Merrill was not able to hear the rest of the chant in fact she was glad to have even heard that much as she was lucky to not have gone deaf from the sound of the constant thunders the boy kept producing though his spells.

The dragon let loose its attack in a great roar with a flash of white light before the boy could complete his chant and Merrill thought that it was all over when she heard the words.

"[Raijinsou Titanoktonon](Lightning God Spear: Titan Slayer)!"

Then in a flash of light the very sky split apart into two and she saw a giant spear of lightning impaled the dragon on its chest.

The dragon was shocked at seeing the spear impale it. It tried to remove the spear but its hands were burnt to cinders upon touching the spear and its chest was also being burnt to ashes by the spear. The dragon for once seemed like it lost all its strength as it came crashing into the ground, the giant spear still stuck on its chest refusing to budge.

The mighty beast that seemed all but invincible near moments ago was now taking shallow breaths as it was reaching its end. The boy teleported to where the dragon had fell and upon seeing the boy the dragon raised its head and addressed him.

Merrill could not hear what was being said between the two but knew that this battle was something that she would never forget.

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

"I underestimated you, faker." The dragon said to me as it now took shallow breaths, "I would never have imagined you to have…such…great…power! At your disposal, it is truly remarkable!"

"Nor had I expected you to do something like that." I said not even trying to hide the awe and respect that I had gain over the course of the fight against the dragon. The final move that the dragon pulled was a powerful move that I was sure that if it hit would have killed me though it left the dragon vulnerable as it lost its ability to heal for some time, a time which I capitalised upon and hit it with a sure kill spell. Even after getting hit by it and being near dead it had neither gone into shock nor had lost its consciousness, truly it was a remarkable dragon worthy of awe and respect.

"It was a desperate move on my part…my most powerful skill that I took years upon years to develop and perfect." The dragon groaned out "And yet…and yet you destroyed it in a single flash."

I winced at the dragon's words, knowing that it was just something unfair that had given me the upper advantage. My [Gamer] power was really bullshit like that to let me pull of such a feat.

"Do not be ashamed of what you have done, faker." The dragon admonished me. "Raise your head up high and bear this achievement with pride and let others know of you achievement and one that you grow and surpass it." The dragon said "I would not be remembered as beign defeated by a simple nobody and as much as I hate it, even a faker like you should be given the chance to create his own legend."

I said nothing and just stood there observing the dragon and listening. It was breaths were becoming slower and slower as it inched closer and closer towards its death, it was just barely clinging to its life by sheer will power and even though I could heal the dragon back to its full health, something in me refrained from doing so or even making the offer as I felt that it would not be something that the dragon would want.

"My time seems to be at…an end." The dragon wheezed out, spitting a few globs of blood. "Before…before I die, I would like to know the name of my slayer."

"Issei Hyoudou."

"Ah, a strange name one in a language I am not familiar with I'm afraid, though I feel that it is oddly appropriate." The dragon remarked. "Now that I know of your name, listen well and listen carefully faker, for it is not every day that a dragon gives its name to its slayer."

Upon hearing those words, I immediately looked straight into the eyes of the dragon. Something inside of me practically screamed that this was something momentous. And thus I gave the dragon my full attention, ready to commit the words it said to my mind.

"To you Issei Hyoudou I give you my body as your reward, do whatever you like with it, harvest it for regents and materials or burn and bury it, my body is now yours to do whatever you wish to do with it." That was a really unprecedented and surprising action on the part of a dragon, something that as far as I knew was just not done lightly.

"And lastly, my name is Dimaria child of Akatosh and keeper of ancient forgotten knowledge of the dragons. Remember my name well faker, remember it well." Suddenly cracks began to appear on Dimaria's skin and out of those cracks golden motes of lights came out. "Ah…huhuhu" Dimaria let loose a crackling laugh "I guess this is my en…" Dimaria stop speaking when she saw the lights float towards me and started encircling me.

"What's going on?" I asked her.

Dimaria kept silent as she seemed to think about something.

The lights began to circle me and started entering my body, feeling me with power.

"What is going on?!" I asked her again, trying to make sense of the situation.

Dimaria said nothing and simply kept staring at me, than it was as if something clicked inside her mind, something that she found extremely funny.

"I see now, yes I see it now, hahahaahaa" laughing she said. "Yeeesssss" she hissed "it all makes sense now. It all makes sense for why you smelled of dragon and held the power of one." She stated, her statement did not make any sense to me but was that why she attacked me? "It was not because you were an arrogant mage who dared to wield the power of a dragon but an ignorant whelp that had no knowledge of his hidden power."

The motes of lights swirled and entered my body filling me with power; it was a strange sensation that soon turned into pain as my every part of my body was filled with more power than it could handle. I was unsure of what was happening and was scared too.

"You…are a young whelp and thus absorbing my soul while painful would be entirely harmless and make you stronger in the long run." Dimaria chimed, easing some of my worries. Looking at her I saw that she was no longer speaking yet I could still hear her voice.

"Do not worry young one, the pain will soon pass and all shall be well for you." Dimaria said in a soothing manner, calming me down. "Kukuku, I never thought that when I escaped the realm of my father and came to this unknown land, I would meet one of his wayward sons or that he would be my slayer." I felt my mind blanking and I struggled to keep myself conscious.

I collapsed with darkness claiming me yet I could hear the Dimaria's parting words.

"Sleep child, born of mortal flesh and the soul of a dragon and when you awake be reborn and take your legacy as the Dovahkiin."

AN: Well that is the new chapter of GO:aDP and wow is this a long chapter and it was going to be longer but seeing how large it was I decided to cut it short and put the rest in the next chapter.

Also man, when I wrote the scene with the dragon I was like hey, maybe I can give Issei a dragon core but what reason should I use to justify that act. And thus I began to see the characteristics of Issei and tried to come up with a good reason. It went something like this.

'Ise is a guy with a Sacred gear that house a dragon and nothing too special about him. So what other character has that same thing, one that is human yet has the soul of a dragon? There is the dragon born but it was not like I could use it as Issei has an SG and not the soul of a dragon. but draige is a dragon whose soul is in an SG and an SG user is born with one at birth fused with their soul. Is that close enough to a good reason to use it as a plot point?'

And thus I simply went with it, so let me know if that is a good reason or not.

Also if some of you read carefully or not they are quite blatant in their appearances I made a few references to some other franchises. Let's see if you can guess it or not though it should not be that hard.

As for the Zerg and well next chapter will really throw all sorts of conventional cannon out of the window, yeah big changes are coming and it is not like a certain game that the lannisters are famous for.

Anyways like and let me know about your thoughts in the reviews. Till next time Tale Master Signing out.
