You wake up the next morning sore and groaning. You were tired yesterday but you hadn't realized how much those katas you'd been doing had actually taken out of you until you slept on it. You winced at the though of what Coleen might do to you on Tuesday but hey no pain no gain. Dragging yourself out of bed you hobble to the shower, where you finally rinse off all the sweat and get your hair washed. You get your black hair from your mother and aside from being so deep a black it's almost blue (which your eyes actually are thank you very much) it's absurdly thick and takes forever to wash.
After throwing on some dark cargo pants, your beat up osirises (you got them at the night market for cheap and you love the damn things no matter how edgy they are) and a dark hoodie over a black t-shirt because you're a damn inventor and black doesn't show oil or grease stains you're ready to start the day. The trip to MSST isn't a long one, though you may drag your feet a bit to put off getting there as long as possible. Luckily your first class is chemistry with Cobwell, and though you aren't a chemistry genius or anything, following basic classroom direction is well within your wheelhouse, and your lab partner is Felicia Hardy who is drop dead gorgeous.
Dropping into your chair with a groan you see Felicia looking as gorgeous and put together as always as she raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow at your exhausted appearance. You give her your most charming grin "Felicia, so good to see you, you look every bit as ravishing as always. I assume from your ensemble there's a game or pep rally today?" You always tried to ham up your flirting a bit with Felicia who seemed to respond well to jokes and over the top sauveness she can laugh at, though she really does make that cheerleading outfit work. The thing was definitely not custom fitted because it was at least a size too small and definitely not made for anyone as...gifted physically as Felicia Hardy.
Felicia gave you that smile she has that makes it clear she begrudgingly finds you cute but is trying not to let you get a big head and chuckles a bit in response "Yes Anthony, we have a pep rally later, though I'm sure we wont see you there, you aren't exactly overflowing with school spirit." You might have taken that as a rejection if she hadn't very purposefully leaned forward on the table across from me and rested her head on her hands in such a way that it very clearly demonstrated that she wasn't wearing a bra. Its a testament to how gorgeous her green eyes are that you only looked away from them for a minute. Or two. You swallow loudly and wonder why they don't seem to have turned on the AC today. It really is unseasonably warm.
You spend the rest of the lesson flirting with your gorgeous lab partner as hard as you can and sometimes doing a bit of work to keep the teacher off your backs. You must be in the zone today because by the end of the period you wind up with a torn scrap of paper in your pocket with Felicias name and number on it (she actually dots her I's with hearts, you thought that was just a movie thing) and firm instructions that you'd better call her within the next three days or Fridays chemistry class was going to include a very messy accident. You think you might be in love. The rest of your day was mostly uneventful, most of your friends were in your B-day classes (half your classes one day half the next mean double length class periods) but towards the end of the day you finally felt your power fire again. You were sitting in your biology class when you felt the forge go off and you were nearly salivating with anticipation, this had to be the day, you could feel it.

Yes! You finally got something! You have a power now! You can make fucking magitech! You can...detect psychic people. Goddamn it. You apparently now had a book sized device that could detect psions in use, and could build more of them. That was... cool? Just one fucking design? You had been hoping for a bit more with actual magitech, but hey you still had a bunch of CP left so you would definitely get something better next time. For now maybe you could figure out a way to use this damn thing. You knew through your power the detector would be in your workshop and despite having the design to make more you didn't really have the tools to work with magitech you barely understood. What the hell were you supposed to do now?
You didn't bother to wait to call Felicia, your phone gets signal basically anywhere but you still waited to get home and drop into your bed to call. It only rang twice before she picked up "Hello, this is Felicia? I don't recognize this number even if I have my suspicions about who you are." She sounded amused and happy and maybe a little hungry though you could have been projecting that last one.
You grin wryly "Well hopefully you weren't expecting Johnny Depp, It's Anthony. I was calling to see if we could meet up for a movie tonight?" Her low chuckle was almost a purr, and you literally shuddered a little bit from thinking about her doing that against you. Staying focused was going to be hard to manage around this girl. After getting a yes you arranged to meet her at a nearby theater to watch that new alien movie Max Steel. It looked dumb enough that you wouldn't need to pay too much attention to it.
You get to the theater just as Felicia is getting dropped off by a literal limo. You knew she was rich but not private limo rich, and you spent about fifteen seconds being surprised before she turned around and bent over to get her purse out of the car, and you got to see the skintight leather pants she had worn for your date. Just the pants, because no way was she fitting underwear under those without it being obvious. You swallowed in appreciation, Felicia had one of the thickest, tightest roundest asses you had ever seen. The girl had double D's at a minimum but she was still decidedly bottom heavy and it looked amazing.
You were almost positive your jaw was still dropped when she turned around and you're sure she knew where you were looking, but you were also sure she'd done that little show for you on purpose. The low cut top she's wearing doesn't make it any easier not to stare, but you make the effort to ignore her almost supernaturally perky but very clearly braless tits. You shake your head to clear it which gets a smirk, and you head inside, buying Felicia some theater snacks that cost more than your whole meal with May. Damn overpriced concessions.
You slip into seats in the back of the theater as is your preference and despite being a semi recent movie it's a Monday night and there aren't many people there. You swing an arm around Felicia as the movie starts and pull her close while you pretend to watch the screen and not her tits as she breaths. You seem to have failed to be convincing because she smirked "I thought we were here to watch a movie." You get distracted from her cleavage by her lips, which are exceptionally pink and shiny tonight. She smirks at your obvious fascination and leans up to kiss you, which tastes like strawberry. "I hope you know I'm not going to have sex with you tonight. I'm not that kind of girl." She gave a wicked smirk as she trailed a hand down your thigh, making it clear that even though sex was off the table you could still have some fun...and your power chooses just then to fire, luckily you have reason to look zoned out.

You blinked, focusing on Felicia as your brain just...expanded. Not in a way you can describe but just like your creativity was on fire. This had come at the perfect time, all the misses were worth it. This would make all your inventions into art. Real colossal high quality art, you could tell from the way the power felt that anything that could be described as art or creating that you did would be supernaturally amazing. You could make a sculpture out of toothpicks that would auction for millions. And art can be so many things, music, poetry, even pleasing a woman. You grin back at her and catch her hand in your lap, deciding to test out your new power. Felicias eyebrows wrinkle and she actually looks a bit hurt, until you slide your hand down HER pants. Then here eyebrows unwrinkle and go up, and up, and up. Her eyes widen and her breath catches and you feel your power take control of your hand as you slide your fingers into her.
Her eyelashes flutter and her eyes roll up and she falls against you. Grinding and moaning and you feel her pussy hot and wet and tight around your fingers as you tease her to the edge and stop several times, your supernatural skills telling you exactly where to touch and how hard to get the best effect. You suspect she would be moaning but she almost seems to have stopped breathing at this point and her nails are diffing into your arm as you finger fuck the gorgeous cheerleader, thanking every god in the heavens for this amazing roll, because from how shes reacting you can bet your ass you're getting a second date. You feel her pussy tighten as you make her cum, but flick your fingers just right to set her off again, and then again, and a third time, each one from different angle and spot, one on her clit, one on her g-spot and one just from insertion, all perfectly supernaturally timed to hit at the perfect moment for her to feel maximum pleasure and...she passed out.
You clean your hand off with your mouth, enjoying the taste, and pull her against you while you lay back to watch the movie. You feel a bit bad because squirting like that in those leather pants will probably be uncomfortable later, but you also feel smug because you pretty much just became the god of fingerbanging and when she wakes up she's going to be all over you. You suppose oral could be considered an art too, but you didn't want to give the poor girl a heart attack. After all, it was the first date, and you weren't that kind of guy. As your gorgeous date recovers from her post orgasm coma you take stock of the ability you got. It's...broad. Anything that could be considered art you're a genius at. Like Da Vinci level genius. Any of you electronics will come out like works of high art, food you make will be haute cuisine, and when you sign your damn name it will come across like youre a professional calligrapher.
This power could actually be useful, maybe it wont let you make super powerful armor or anything but it would let you make something even more important. Money. The amount of cash you could rake in with this would be absurd. You could open a restaurant if you wanted, or just sell trinkets so beautiful no one would think twice about paying five times the price. You were shaken from your dreams of artistic domination by the cute sleepy squeak of the busty platinum haired beauty still half in your lap. Felicia seemed almost confused for a second, before her mind cleared and she stared blankly at you. "Did...did you just make me triple orgasm and pass out from pleasure...by fingering me?"
You honestly understand where the surprise is coming from. Even while it was happening you felt almost surreal about it, the supernatural skill and dexterity your fingers had displayed was just fucking mind blowing even to you. But you played it off with a devilish smile "Now imagine if I had used my tongue." Felicia stared at you...awestruck almost and then hurled herself into your lap to kiss you, hard. Luckily kissing could also be considered an art, because you spent the rest of the movie doing it having to stop her multiple times from reaching for your belt. You'd made a hell of an impression here, and it would stick around more if you left it as the high point of the night. Besides, you liked this girl, you would be able to fuck her later, getting her hooked a little bit at a time was better.
You kissed her into a panting desperate mess and then fingered her to another cascading orgasm about three quarters of the way through the movie, she stayed conscious this time, though barely so, becoming a cooing affectionate mess and cuddling up against you, nuzzling your neck in just about the cutest possible way. You were kind of worried from her behavior that you'd gotten her addicted to your fingers, but decided to worry about it later and just enjoy the cuddles. You also felt her up a bit, which was amazing but proved that apparently not EVERYthing was an art because your powers didnt make you supernaturally good at groping or anything. Pity but you supposed that was fair. Besides being perfect at everything would be boring. After the movie you walked Felicia outside to her limo and gave her a goodnight kiss, which you had to literally pry her out of after five minutes though you didnt mind seeing those huge tits bob as she tried to compose herself through the heaving breaths after. As she rode off with the demand that you call her or she would literally castate you, you felt your power actually fire AGAIN.

Your eyes widened. This was...this was fucking combat training. Not unarmed stuff like Coleen was going to teach you, though there was a bit of that, no this was training from a damn legion. Not just one on one fighting either, you could train others and it would make this combat style stronger, and you could make special munitions and weapons! You could even cast mass combat spells, though you were pretty sure you didn't actually have magic powers yet so that was going to have to wait sadly. So much had happened to you tonight, from things to Felicia to getting TWO new powers! Hell your artisan power wasn't even as good as it got. You had a passive "holy fuck this is mind blowing" level of skill with all artistic endeavors but you could still get better, train things to surpass that point. Make works of art that would literally be godlike, at least with enough training. You had so much to do now who knew where the hell to go from here. You knew one thing though, you were headed home with a smile. Who knew what wonders tomorrow would bring.

Perks:
HardTech Psi-Detector (Trinity) (200CP)
You have acquired a Nippon-made device, one of the very few non-biotech devices capable of reliably detecting nearby Psions and psionic powers in use. Most are massive, power-hungry, and have a range of only about five meters . This one has the same range, but is far more efficient and only the size of a large book. Though pretty much useless to a Psion in the field, the device can be connected to mundane security and sensor systems, and you have the blueprints to make more.
Legion Trained (A Practical Guide to Evil) (100CP)
One Sin. Defeat. One Grace. Victory. These are the words that every member of the Legion lives by. You've been trained in the legions, and are proficient with rank-to-rank fighting with the gladius and scutum, the usage of goblin munitions, and mass spellcasting (assuming, of course, that you're capable of spellcasting). Furthermore, you know how to create goblin munitions, including the magic-eating goblinfire. While this won't let you stand up to a Hero on it's own, the discipline of a legionnaire and their skill against others on their level is not to be doubted. As one of the Named yourself? Well, this level of skill can be quite effective, though it's enhanced with the assistance of fellow warriors.
Artisan of the Supreme Holy Heavens (Against the Gods!)
While a huge part of everything, cultivation is not all there is to life. There are things to enjoy too, such as arts and beauty. This perk gives you exemplary, extreme talent for arts of all kind. Anything you do, you can do unbelievably beautifully and artistically.
And those words really do mean just that. A casual scribble from your fingers would have people paying absurd sums in auctions for it, singing a couple notes could inflame a whole new musical movement worldwide, and something you put actual effort into could drive people into rapturous adoration simply by encountering it. This works in every field of art, from writing to drawing to singing and dancing, and you can even train it to further improve things.
