Hey, guys!
Disclaimer: I do not own Overwatch or Diablo 3, those belong to Blizzard Entertainment. I do, however, own any and all OCs as well as twisted plot/Canon.
Timing: Post Reaper of Souls expansion, prior Overwatch Recall.
Notes: I'm sorry that I haven't updated since September! Look, just read! I'm going to be adding a LOT of information. You'll see when you get down there just what I brought into this Fanfiction. Also, as an apology for the extremely short chapter, here's a longer on.
Extra Notes: Also, they are speaking Portuguese, it is just in English due to it being my main language and the majority of people here being English-speakers.
Now, for the love of God, let this Fanfiction begin!
-= *BLA* =-
Li-Ming just kinda stood there, wondering what was going on.
"Why are you here, Katia?"
"I'm just wondering why she's in your room is all." A small glare levelled, almost accusing. Li-Ming, again, was confused with this gesture. It happened often between them at the moment.
"Lucio sent her down here, probably with a strange intention," he said smoothly, easily done even with everything going on around him. Katia didn't believe him, turning a questioning look in Li-Ming's direction.
"He is correct," Li-Ming replied. "Lucio sent me down here, as to why, he declined to share that information with me."
Katia took in a deep, unimpressed, breath with her nose, not once opening her mouth, showing clear mistrust in the statement. Her face didn't change, if that added to it. "I'm going to talk to the commander," Katia said, leaving the room, and shutting door with a small - albeit audible - slam.
"What was that about?" questioned Li-Ming, who watched Miguel slouch as he sat on his bed.
"Kaita," he replied, before falling on the bed, easily sleeping immediately, without the dignity to place a shirt over himself. At least his lower quarters were covered.
She sighed, sitting on the other side of the bed as well, falling back. They were almost perpendicular to how they were supposed to be sleeping, herself closer to the pillows, head aiming to the left of the bed, his head further from the pillows, head aimed to the right of the bed.
She closed her eyes, and deadpanned, as she cited the next lines:
"Aren't you supposed to be on the floor?"
-= *At Lucio's* =-
The day before the day was generally that day when you really had to start thinking on how you were gonna live the next, especially if it was one of many that would literally define you in the future.
It would make any lesser man swell with Pride, and generally gives an instant increase of chance in making mistakes on the field, but Lucio knew his part in this. All he had to do was invigorate and command.
Basically, just speak and watch it happen.
He wasn't famous just because of the great musical talent he put to work, but also for his innate battle strategy. He could best a general in a small skirmish depending on location, but he knew generals who had been at their job for quite the while had quite the advantage over the younger commander concerning adaptation. Any real thing that could deviate Lucio's plans and prolong the fight would put advantage in the enemy's hands. Li-Ming's plan counteracted that.
Something fast enough that Vishkar wouldn't be able to react fast enough. Lucio had no idea what she had meant by that, but decided to do as she said, as she was certainly swift enough on her feet in the capability of wiping out any resistance ahead of her, if the bounty she took was of any indication.
Personally, Lucio would never allow such a person with that much power help him out, but, he made a choice. This girl...M, or whatever, certainly had the idea of justice he had been looking for in the fight against Vishkar. So, he had no choice but to take the rather crude woman and agree to have her join his cause.
Plus, he had no real plan. She did. It was a win for him.
Lucio sat in his room, ruffling through a bag to his side. He sat on top of his bed, specifically, toes bouncing up and down on the floor to the beat of a song he had yet to fully synthesize for his rebel group.
He removed his hand from the bag to reveal the frame of a picture, only for him to hear a knock on the door. This prompted him to shove the object back in his bag with practiced grace, throw it underneath the bed (with an assortment of trash he would never admit to having under there), and quickly made for the door.
When he opened it, he half expected an angry Miguel on the other side for his antic. So, with a smile on his face, his face contorted to immediate confusion to see Katia, his lieutenant, standing there with a very angry look on her face, arms crossed, and foot tapping.
"What did I do?"
"What didn't you do?"
"Good point."
"Shut up," she cut him off. "Why is M in Miguel's room?"
"Oh," Lucio smiled again, "you caught on?"
Katia's mouth opened wide, eyebrows knitting together in a rather screwed face of anger, she inhaled sharply and exhaled with, "WHY?!"
"I am a PROUD shipper!"
"Ever since you've been friends with the Korean weeaboo, you've been nothing short of one yourself!"
"Keep my anime out of this!"

Li-Ming was currently awakening and the ping that emanated from nowhere caused her eyes to open to the world, entirely cautious now.
Instead of springing up comically as she had planned, however, she blinked in confusion as to the blue pane in front of her.
"What on Sanctuary..." she exclaimed quietly, so as to not awaken the mass of younger masculinity beside her. She did well to ignore the arousal as well.
She rolled her eyes. "Men and their dreams." Kormac was certainly nothing less than a bag of (insert term/verb for the action of being a dunce) when he was sleeping near Eirena (seriously, that Templar needs to bone her).
She shook her head from the quickly forming thoughts and instead refocused on the task at ha-
Strategy Developing increased by 1 lvl!
She was easily flustered at this, as she had easily realized what this...screen was implying.
There was only one thing on this screen other than words and fancy borders, and that was a gray "X" in the corner. She reached out and clicked the thing, and it darkened as her finger made contact with it. It became lighter again as her finger retracted and the screen disappeared. It revealed the first one behind it as it had left her sight.

"What updates?" she wondered. She very hesitantly hit the 'yes' button after it fully updated.
Update 1.0.1
Welcome to the Paragon Matrix! It has been renamed
The Paragon Gamer
"What in the blazes of the Seven Hells?" she wondered aloud. Again, quietly, for the sleeping wet Miguel at her side. She had her fair amount of fantasies (not that she'd admit aloud) in her time on Sanctuary, she wasn't about to ruin it for him. She continued reading instead:

"..." She was in absolute disbelief.
A groan from the side.
"Miguel..." Li-Ming became frustrated from the recent amount of information given. She growled his name angrily. "...get UP!"
"...mmmm...Katia-"
He was promptly shoved off the bed.

She then muttered, "It's going to do this all day, isn't it-"
Intelligence increased by 15 pts!
"SON OF A WHO-"
"Whoa!" called someone she nearly bumped into, and she had to reel in her anger in order to respond politely. "What happened, girl?" the man asked.
She recognized him. Hugo.
"Nothing," she waved him off, immediately calming down. She had been utterly surprised earlier by this...update...that she had been too caught up in her thoughts to fully rationalize things that have been happening. "Just..."
"Woke up on the wrong side of bed?" he tried.
Her eye twitched.
"Hey, not prying, you don't have to answer," he tried to assure quickly.
"I know..." she facepalmed, having lost energy to verbally fight back for her dignity. "Weird things...don't worry about it-what is that?"
He had shoved a box in her face. It read tampon.
"Tampons," he replied, almost sheepishly, his head to the side and turtled between his raised shoulders. "My wife always forgets hers, so I usually have some on me just in case it's that time of the month..."
"Did he misinterpret my words as a reference to women's menstrual periods?" she wondered. "What the hell are tampons?"

Later, she waved it to the side. The window was moved to her left, along with a long bunch of others she would read along the way. She had accepted the quest.
"Now to find a place to be alone..." she mumbled to herself. She quickly found herself in a storage room and hid amongst a bunch of boxes. She felt stupid for having done this, but took the chance in order to learn a little more about this Paragon Gamer thing.
Ever since the "update," many things had appeared in her field of vision. At the bottom were a motley of items. To her bottom left, she found a red bar that indicated health when she focused on it. She currently has 500 health points...whatever that had meant. She supposed she had to keep it from hitting zero. She looked underneath it to a shiny looking purple. Many colors mixed together, forming what she considered "Arcane." As it was, and she had a maximum of 100.
To her right, it read five other bars. Rage, Mana, a mix of Discipline and Hatred (halved in the middle of that bar), Spirit, and Wrath.
"Perhaps, these five pools belonged to my former comrades," she deduced. "I suppose I can wield what they can now."

She growled.

She immediately exited that window before it had the chance to annoy her further. She'd have to find a way how to shut that off...

Her eye twitched. This thing had a glaringly annoying humor. The next set of stat level screen appeared before her, and she scrambled to exit out of all of them as quickly as possible.

She let out a small sigh and moved into her menus. She read down the list.
[Exit Menu]

[Guild (currently unavailable)]
[Paragon Matrix]
[Personal Appearance (currently unavailable, viewable)]
She instantly hit inventory.
A window appeared over the menus. It seemed to be filled with a nuance of brownish to blackish colors that spread across the canvas. The top half consisted of armor, weaponry, and an appearance of herself. Mini-Ming - as she had secretly decided to dub it, not that she could hide it if Mini-Ming's glare were any indication - had been standing accusingly, glowering at Li-Ming with narrowed eyes and arms underneath her breasts. There seemed to be something she didn't like.
"Oh..." she mumbled after realizing: Mini-Ming was naked, the armor slots around her were empty.
There was a brief blue flash in the area emanating from Li-Ming herself, and she was lucky enough no one was present to notice her stark naked.
"Fuck!" she cursed, looking at her inventory and quickly dragging what looked like her armor pieces into the slot around Mini-Ming.
The brief flash appeared again, and she sighed in relief to find that the clothing had reappeared on her. She then took a look into her inventory further.
Inside there were many a slot, almost uncountable. There were several tabs, she found, for multiple inventories. She could hold an arsenal!
Inside, she found her usual health potion, a few charms and other motley of items from long ago, back in her time under the Vizjerei lord Valthek. "These may be useful for the foreseeable future," Li-Ming thought to herself and was half glad her Matrix left her alone for now.
Underneath the inventory listed out the gold she was capable of carrying. She currently had 100 million golden coins on her person. She supposed she could do much more with it.
She also found the tampons from earlier in there...she'd find out later..."
She exited and was greeted with the menu screen again. She entered Quests.

You Know You Like It levelled up by one!
(this is not a true stat, this is meant to annoy you)
...-she had a country to liberate. But, of course, as always, you need a name for it.
She set to find Lucio.
-= *Lucio's Place* =-
She knocked. It took her quite a while to find this place. She idly bounced from foot to foot in coming anticipation to the door's opening. It was a metal thing, metal frame, metal wall-
The base was made of metal and rusted as fu-
The door swung open to reveal the dark shade of Lucio. "Yes?" he asked.
"You need a name for your military."
"Yeah," he said, opening the door more and leaning into the frame.
Increased Closeness to Lucio: +1! Total: +6
She ignored it, as she couldn't swipe it in front of him. Apparently, no one else could see this ridiculous thing.
She then became very confident, smiling as she raised her head and closed her eyes as to seem bigger.
"I have had much time to think this over-" she began, being cut off by a series of pings. She gave a single look under her lid to read the screen.

Finally! I have done it! I have finished it! I needed a lot of inspiration for this chapter, but that was not enough excuse for leaving you out of the loop! This will now have more humor to it than it would've before! As well as less physics involved, so be wary.

ChimaTigon: "When's the Overwatch recall going to happen in the story?"
Reply: "I really don't like it when people put the beginning of a story they're making a Fanfiction for already there pre-fanfiction, currently happening, or soon after it starts. Expect it around chapter 30 (if I ever get there)."

Warmachine375: "Awesome chapter again and it seems that Li-Ming's presence is now noticed by some of the world's governments and factions. She better be kept in low profile as her powers drawn and manifested through the residents within the Black Soulstone including her already formidable magic powers deemed her a mysterious anomaly to be studied and exploited for their own uses and interests.
"You even nitpicked Lucio's apparent no-plan to do with Brazil once he liberated it from Vishkar. It was never mentioned in the Overwatch canon whether if his country was free or still struggling against that corporation while he became an international popular music artist.
"In the previous chapter, I noticed some of the soldiers in Lucio's faction displayed sinister looks. That is kind of unnerving and foreshadowing betrayal in the future which ain't gonna be pretty.
"Plus, Symmetra is now on the move as ordered by her superiors to deal with the new player in the game. I wonder how will she react to Li-Ming and her manifestations and ideals when they encounter each other eventually?
"Dva in Brazil? Whoa, I did not see that coming but then again, the famous MEKA pilot is best friends with Lucio after all in canon. If she sees Li-Ming in action and witnessing her powers and manifestations, Dva would call her a hax, OP and cheater, and demand a nerf, lol. Li-Ming would either be amused or annoyed at such compliments. Hehehe.
"Still waiting for Overwatch to show up eventually after The Recall sent by Winston throughout the world to all former agents everywhere.
Looking forward for the next update."
Reply: "Thank you for the comment! And, yes, she loves attention, so it will be difficult to keep her from not showing the world her powers. As you can see from this chapter, she will be more focused on shutting her power up than anything.
"Heh, yes, well…it wasn't elaborated on, so I took advantage of it and made up my own story.
"The display of sinister looks was just them being stupid and wanting alcohol. There will be no betrayals during the time of the Fanfiction.
"Symmetra and Li-Ming can gain a deep understanding of their opponents, so their fighting will open some doors. Especially doors to Symmetra possibly being able to leave the infamous company and Li-Ming gaining a friend for her task at hand.
"D. Va is, in fact, not, in Brazil. I may have forgotten to mention that Lucio and she were talking via holocall, or whatever you want to call it. I haven't named the technology yet. And, yes, Hana will be calling Li-Ming an assortment of names that will confuse the Wizard, turning her into more of a laughing stock for the gamer.
"I am also waiting for a story after Winston's Recall, which will be happening late in this Fiction. I hope you can wait long enough for it."

Akshka: "*sigh* now we get to that part of the story WHO SHALL BANG WHO... Ummm I usually put my vote into f/f but if you want to do something else that's fine as well"
Reply: "I'm usually one for straight ships, but I'll ship gay ones if I have to to either progress the story or for Li-Ming's new power to tease. I hope you'll be okay with that!"
