This chapter will not have big fight scenes, but in the next chapter since Iron-Star meets Parian there will be one problem after another.
Thieving clowns, envious Gamers, an invested heroic character, anti-Parahuman terrorists.
PS. The Fashion Perk (100) (High School of the Dead), featured in Chapter 9: The Alchemist Impaler. First part / Alternate title: Let's save Danny from the junkies, has been canceled.
This makes him too similar to Aperion with this advantage in play.
I was inspired by Aperion, I don't want to imitate it, I want to make my original story. So my character will not be invulnerable, he will be like Deadpool, a lunatic madman who gets ridiculously injured but gets back on his feet and continues his spectacular madness.
Pss. I forgot to write this perk in the previous chapter, my mistake:
Time Flies (Lords Of The Night Zombies) (200): There are many talented old wizards who have devoted decades of work to achieve immortality, and haven't even started. that pursuit until they were already skilled and adept at their magic. And many of them fall short. You only have one decade. Luckily, you can make the most of your time. Any type of extended work or project you are working on progresses unnaturally fast. Or at least, your contribution yes. Specifically, it goes five times faster. You can read a book five times faster, organize a ritual five times faster, create five times faster, study or research five times faster, and so on. This never works on action or dynamic sets. You could do five days of ritual work in one day, but the climax at the end of the ritual, the part that must not be interrupted, the least horrible consequences happen to everyone? Normal time.
Answers to comments:
Edale: Fate / Legends confused me in the beginning too. In reality Fate / Legends is not an Anime, they are a series of Jumpchains based on Fate Grand Order, each singularity of FGO has obtained its own chapter I take advantage of on Jumpchain.
Oliver Otter1: Thank you so much for your comment, kind words motivate me to write. I will try to correct the chapters and fix what I can.
ivanacco1: Glad to see people like my story. I'll keep your advice in mind. I start counting the words from Author Note to Continue ...
Guest number one: Thanks for the positive comment.
Guest number two: I don't respond to criticism from a troll who doesn't leave his username.
Trpstar: Honestly, I thought I'd give Iron-Star some perks to make him create Noble Ghosts. But I'm currently working on introducing some science after so many magical perks. Though a 600CP advantage of Fate / kaleid liner Prisma Illya, it merges the user with a Class Cards permanently.
Combining EMIYA with Iron-Star and her BlazBlue wouldn't be too OP or predictable. The amount of writers joining the protagonist / OC with Unlimited Blade Works is immense.
Personally speaking of a unique weapon I am interested in what kind of original weapon powered by Storm Hawks / Star Wars crystals can be made?
Ps. In this chapter, the first seed for the creation of the Dungeon is planted, although it behaves more like a whole hyper-realistic digital world.
RedBurningDragon :.
Yes, you guessed it, Tokodra is a kind of san fansokyo.
I agree with you, Shirou Emiya starts out weak, but depending on what happens to him it becomes a living weapon capable of killing Heracles or Gilgamesh.
I believe you are right, the equivalent exchange is a fundamental rule in the world of FullmetalAlchemist. But Prague is pumped by the Magical Circuits which are extra fragments of the Magus's Soul. Therefore Iron-Star can turn around or bend the rule slightly. But without the philosopher's stone things will not be crazy and it will consume a lot of Prana to replace non-existent matter.
Valkenhayn is a creature who lives outside of logic, conventional weapons and tactics do nothing to him. The explosion took effect because it used magically created flour and access with alchemical fire. Magic and powers are bullshit, but they're nice to read.
I haven't thought about it but I believe it is possible to manipulate the oil suit to bring up the alchemical circles that Iron-Star wishes to have. But personally I am thinking of using low nanotechnology tattoos to create a changeable tattoo.
The reality EVO form of Iron-Star is based on two Pokémon and a Digimon, with a couple of antagonists.
Precisely I used: Biowulf (Generator Rex antagonist) combined with Man-Bat (Batman's Enemy) and Rosemon (One of the Digimon from the Digimon Savers series).
With some elements from Pokémon, Roserade's flower arms and Bulbasaur's back bulb.
An automatic defense matrix still no, but I'm planning on adding this perk in the future ...
Omicron Nanites (Generator Rex) (600 CP): It shouldn't be here, but since it's here, you can still buy it. You are the host of a colony of Omicron Nanites, the main nanotechnology of the original M. Rex. These nanites, unlike their Generator Rex version, are fully aware of their own existence, have their own thoughts, feelings, memories and personalities, as well as being able to think and act freely on their own. Their main job is to protect their host, you, from any physical harm, being able to regenerate your body from damage, purifying toxins and empowering you. As their host, you gain skills such as machine manifestation, similar to that granted by Ex Machina, but on a more gigantic scale, being able to manifest any machine that possesses the right amount of technical knowledge and you know how to design and understand it, but you don't have any blueprints inside your Omicron Nanites to begin with. Omicron Nanites also give you the ability to reshape the environment, such as creating a hole, spikes or wall from the floor, or even forming basic weapons from raw matter, around you. Your nanites can also use these abilities on their own to protect you. As a final treat, Omicron Nanites are incredibly resistant to technopathy, requiring something on par with a Meta-Nanite to try and control them.
"Flaming Drill Race" sounds pretty good, I'll use it in the next fight.
The Celestial Forge is a kind of Copycat or copypaste of the powerful artifacts of other universes. Iron-Star's BlazBlue is a Blue Grimoire very similar to that of Ragna the Bloodedge, only safer and easier to control. This Faker-BlazBlue can do everything Ragna's BlazBlue was capable of.
The city of monsters remains in the Star-Forge ... for now, but when the city is rebuilt it could emerge into the real world and cause Piggot to have a heart attack.
Trpstar: Honestly thanks to your words, I'm actually a little sensitive to criticism and maybe a little pessimistic.
I started reading Fanfiction, king of faker, a Shirou Emiya born and raised in the medieval era is very interesting.
I really like your idea of taking down enemies before they know it's happened.
Iron-Star has learned from Ezio Auditore and Splinter will be the closest thing to a super ninja in Brockton Bay.
I'm thinking of putting in some No Game No Life Perks, maybe an alternate form based on the Werebeasts or some of their powers.

Chapter: A monstrous city and a small correspondence with Dragon.
Alternate title: A moment of calm before the anti-Parahuman terror storm.
POV Harold Holmes aka Iron-Star
"My life is messed up. First I am locked inside a gate of an alchemical deity, then I am forced to fight a werewolf butler in order to get a magic arm, a crimson coat and a fantasy sword. And right now I am rushing towards the soil." I mumbled to myself, a bad habit I got from thinking about all the crazy things happening to me so far.
At a glance, there are about 500 meters to go to the ground.
It would be a problem if it weren't for the latest gifts received from the Celestial Forge.
'Rachel Alucard, why couldn't you teleport me to a tropical island or at least a couple of meters above the ground? It's wasting my time. 'I thought, before clearing my mind and clapping my hands.
Golden sparkles have come out of my clothes, it means that my Amestrian alchemy is working, my red coat just received and earned holes in the area of the shoulder blades.
Turning off the power, Mutation Concealment (Generator Rex), reactive my Gene-X again, two huge silver wings emerged from my back.
Flapping my wings I started flying ... I'm flying ...
"In the name of the AllSpark I can fly, I was so focused on fighting the butler that I couldn't enjoy this gift." I murmured, decided to savor the moment.
Flying, humanity has always wanted to take flight and stay above the clouds, and I can do it with a simple movement.
"Wrapped in hooks, my dear Celestial Forge." I muttered in a low voice, continuing to fly around and thinking about the advantages I gained at the end of the fight with Valkenhayn.
Cake! (Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Timeline), allows me to use small amounts of magical energy to summon every type of food I've ever eaten and / or seen, an incredibly useful skill for everyday life. Most people wouldn't think of using this power in combat. But a One Piece fan in bed / seen the Whole Cake Island Arc, can tell that there are ways to turn treats into battle weapons. The idea of using flour to create a dust explosion ... I had a blast, I'm a bomber artist.
If I apply my knowledge of Amestrian chemistry and alchemy with this magical girl chef power, maybe I can recreate some powers of the Big Mom Pirates, getting a similar power to Charlotte Katakuri's Mochi Mochi no Mi would be awesome.
We Can Do More (Invincible), an innate ability to use my powers for non-violent and humanitarian purposes, in one way or another all my powers can be used to help society.
Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex (Invincible), a subtle power, but I consider it the best gift I've ever been able to get from the Celestial Forge, control and precision. My brain has gained iron control over all my present and future abilities. By mentally making "adjustments" my lightning bolts can go from destroying huge machinery to recharging a mobile phone and breaking it. Precise control allows me to achieve a huge number of thin and versatile applications. Too bad it doesn't offer me the experience to put all my theoretical ideas into practice.
Boom Boom (X-Men Evolution), a power coming from Gene-X, in short, I can create explosive spheres of energy, power and adjustable dimensions in my hands, I have not yet had the opportunity to use it but I will do it in the future.
Angel of the Skies (Avengers Vs X-Men), my second power from Gene-X, my fabulous metal wings. With them I can do without my vehicles, the maximum speed is comparable to a military fighter jet of the latest generation. My wings can be used as incredibly sharp edged weapons or bombproof shields. Bonus my whole body has been upgraded to allow me to fly for hours and heal faster than expected.
Mutation Concealment (Generator Rex), a power that is literally an on / off button for genetic mutations and non-human aspects coming from my body. I can put any mutations and changes in my body to sleep to look normal. Thank goodness for such a skill, I would have had a bad time hiding the BlazBlue and bulky wings.
Exponentially Varied Organism (Generator Rex), a monstrous transformation, activated by a command from my nanites, which transforms me into a huge cyborg bat-plant with three useful abilities:
- I can generate and eject raw crystals from my hands, an incredibly useful ability for an alchemist and Jewelcraft user, Rin Tohsaka would be envious of that.
- My flowers can generate and eject ink in the form of a high pressure water jet or gaseous cloud. I believe I can temporally give special properties to the ink such as being flammable or toxic. My Esper Military Oil power will only have to gain with a user who can genre petroleum material.
- The third skill is arguably the most dangerous stuff I've ever gotten so far. The ability to manipulate, alter and disperse colonies of bacteria and viruses. They are a human pestilence capable of giving birth to deadly diseases never seen before. My Ultimate Doctor power gives me tons of ideas on how to wreak havoc on a mutant version of the black plague city. Forget covid-19 it is a mere cold compared to what my nanites are capable of producing. Thank goodness I'm a good guy if not, zombie apocalypse in five minutes. I must keep this skill absolutely secret.
Stopping flying I sat on top of the largest bell on the St. Stephen clock tower of the Palace of Westminster.
Officially called in Elizabeth Tower, but known worldwide as the Clock Tower or Big Ben.
"I feel like I've become a protagonist of Fallout or The Last of Us." I stated, looking at the landscape of a post-apocalyptic London.
From up here, I can see the whole city, one of the largest metropolises in the world, before humans and populated completely by strange creatures.
Plant life has taken over, entire buildings are covered in vines and flowers, as well as several giant trees that have engulfed the buildings.
The streets and roofs are filled with various mutant creatures, ants as big as cars, monstrous wolves and bipedal cats chasing each other, giant worms as long as trains, carnivorous plants occupying the subway etc.
The only creatures that don't seem to come out of a horror show or the God Eater franchise are the occasional presence of some Pokémon-like-looking creatures and possibly a Digimon.
"The Bug Jar (Generator Rex), obtained from the gift, Exponentially Varied Organism (Generator Rex).
A devastating city locked inside a purple force field, populated by thousands of EVOs with animalistic intellect, about 90% of the population is made up of wild creatures that boast superhuman strength and speed.
The rest of the populations can boast of more prized abilities, with a minority having exotic and rare abilities, probably they are the Pokémon and Digimon-like creatures.
Looking at the city I can say that The Bug Jar (Generator Rex) and its population has been shaped by my subconscious. With all the Sherlock Holmes and experience of proving that you are worthy to pull the sword of the stone as if you were King Arthur, it is no surprise that the devastated city is a London couple.
Personally I would have liked Tokyo, Turin, Florence, Rome or Paris, but old London is fine too, who can say it has its own Big Ben.
Being a fan of Pokémon and Digimon it is no surprise that they are the creatures at the top of the food chain ...
Is that a Greymon arguing with a Charizard !? "I exclaimed surprised to see such a scenario unfold before my eyes.
Greymon is a bipedal reptile whose design bears elements of the Ceratosaurus and the classic monster Gomora. It has orange scales with blue stripes covering its body. It has three clawed toes on its hands and three clawed toes on its feet, with claws protruding from its heels. He wears a skull resembling a rhinoceros beetle on his head.
Charizard has two large wings with a green membrane, it resembles a bipedal dragon, it also has orange scales and the belly has yellow scales, it has a long tail with a fiery tip, its neck is long and has two horns, each limb has three white claws, however the upper limbs are very small compared to the rest of the body.
These two orange-scaled reptilian creatures are fighting in the middle of the road.
"Great! EVO looking like Geymon and Charizard are fighting!. My favorite Digimon is fighting my third favorite Pokémon! Thank goodness I have the photographic memory because I don't have a phone to film this fight." I enthusiastically stated, watching an orange dinosaur fight an orange dragon.
Both reptiles have started to breathe fire from their jaws, and the fantastic is becoming a fantastic nightmare.
"Because hard things can't last, I get my personal city and population of potentially magical mutant creatures. That's the first thing they do, start a fire." Without wasting time I launched from Big Ben and started flying towards EVO Digimon VS EVO Pokémon combat.
XXX
Once I got on the money I stopped the fire was stopped in the bud by the firefighters.
A small team of Blastoise, creatures with the appearance of a bipedal turtle with a predominantly blue color and a resistant brown shell from which two powerful apparently metallic cannons emerge from which they shoot strong jets of water.
"This post-apocalyptic city with firefighters? And a referee !?" I muttered, watching as the fire-breathing reptiles are scolded by a Lucario, a bipedal, jackal-like creature about 1.2 meters tall. Its front legs are black and have a white tip on the upper side of the wrist. An additional tip is located on his chest. Lucario's snout and ears grew after his evolution from Riolu, as did his appendages, which have now split and moved behind his head. She has a hairy torso and her thighs have a shape that makes them appear similar to blue shorts.
"There are also Cheerleaders !?" I muttered taken aback by the presence of three "women" who are cheering.
Gardevoir, a humanoid-looking creature of a woman in a long, all-white dress, whose "skirt" has a slit from the waist down. She has a green bob of hair, a red antenna. The arms are green, and the hands have three fingers, while the legs, which are not very visible, are white.
Buneary, with the appearance of a small brown rabbit. In the extremities of the ears and on the belly it has wads of lighter and thicker hair.
Lilamon, a beautiful teenage female creature with pink skin, black eyes, shoulder-length green hair, white flower-shaped hands and feet, and six appendages on each side, three in front and three in back. She wears a yellow and green leotard legging with a wing-shaped decoration on the shoulders, a rose on the chest and a giant lilac pink on the back and a lilac pink in the shape of a hat.
"Well the quarrel between creatures with the power to evolve proved to be an official duel, with the referee, firefighters and Cheerleader ... I guess I have to leave, this city is definitely created using my mind as a blend of inspiration. "Feeling uncomfortable about almost interrupting the sporting event?
I decided to fly somewhere else and maybe find a way out of this place.
While I am looking for some sort of magical gate or way out, the Celestial Forge activated, illuminating the Constellation (Fate / Legends - Empires of Antiquity), instead of receiving something fantastic and magical, I earned Bath House, a center luxury seaside.
Nothing strange, I get all sorts of items and abilities from the Celestial Forge, but normal the properties they get didn't teleport before my eyes.
A ruined condominium, ravaged by the force of nature and a few giant rodents, disappeared instantly and in its place is a luxury beach resort.
I stopped to fly over the area and figure out what just happened, using Sherlock Holmes' deductive intellect to connect the dots.
"Here is my guess, this city is not in a remote corner of the earth, it is a huge room that contains the city and its abnormal inhabitants. This room being so large has become the area where the properties and buildings are deposited, until I decide to "move" the buildings out of the Star-Forge. This city will become very colorful and diverse in the future. " I muttered, trying to figure out what kind of City Amalgam I will have in the future.
I have certainly found the ideal place to train and practice my greatest powers, maybe I can also test the giant robots that I will create in the future.
Putting aside the numerous ideas on how to use such space for my plans ranging from building a factory town to produce weapons and war machines to a huge amusement park or my own Las Vegas.
I focus on finding an exit from this room that encompasses an entire metropolis.
I have to find something unusual to indicate exit if I want to get out of here, but how do I find something unusual in a city full of mutant creatures with a potential minority of magical monsters?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a rusty, half-faded road sign that read Baker Street.
Suddenly I have a crazy idea, but it can work.
"Baker Street is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster in London. Many fictional characters have lived on Baker Street: Basil the detective, Sherlock Hound, Danger Mouse, Sexton Blake, Carland Cross, James Black, but the most famous of all it's Sherlock Holmes If the place was created using my subconscious, the exit must be in the most important place for me in all of London.
The Sherlock Holmes Museum (Sherlock Holmes Museum) located on Baker Street at number 239, next to 221B Baker Street, which was the address chosen by Arthur Conan Doyle for the detective's residence. "With this logic in mind, I flapped my wings and flew to the museum of the greatest detective in the world.
XXX
"I'm in a post-apocalyptic London, based on contemporary London in 2021, with changes created using my nerdy subconscious.
This explains why the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the area around Baker Street is immaculate, it also means I'm close to the exit from this "room", do you agree with me Watson? "I asked a nice EVO Pichaku in a Sherlock Holmes-style detective hair to answer my reasoning.
"Pika, Pika" was the response of the little electric rodent who is eating a cereal bar.
"Watson, I'll take your words as a yes, would you like another snack?" I asked the smiling and energetic yellow mouse ... this joke sucks, comedy doesn't seem to be one of my talents.
"Pika, Pika!" Watson exclaims, pulling on my pants and opening his mouth showing all his teeth.
"I keep taking your word as a yes, I hope you like Ringo."
Using a small portion of my magical energies, I activated my power, Cake! (Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Timeline), I made a package of the famous Ringo cookies and delivered them to a Watson.
"Pika Pika Pika!" Watson exclaims, jumping on the spot like a child who has received the best Christmas present possible.
Leaving EVO Pichaku to eat the biscuits, I return to look for a way out.
I'm in front of the Sherlock Holmes Museum, so the clue to my exit is about Sherlock Holmes.
The most famous actors who played the famous detective are: Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, Jonny Lee Miller.
But no connection or clue, except that Robert and Benedict played Ironman and Doctor Strange in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) franchise, both geniuses with PhDs from a science fiction world ...
"Sherlock Holmes ... science fiction ... London ... my nerdy brain ..." My brain lights up like an I will and solves the riddle created by my subconscious.
"An original London character that I love very much from science fiction is Doctor Who.
The Eleventh Doctor in a special 2012 Christmas episode, The Snowmen, the Doctor pretends to be Sherlock Holmes.
So the exit is ... "I turn slowly and see my exit ticket, across the street.
"A blue phone booth used by British police in the style of MacKenzie Trench!" I shouted, running to the blue phone booth.
Before I grab the handle, I stop and take a deep breath, I have to do it properly.
"I'm borrowing this cabin ..."
I open the handle and see a huge corridor full of doors with gilded signs on them.
"Oh ... my ... GOD! It's bigger! Inside! What it is! My entire understanding of physical space has been transformed! Three-dimensional Euclidean geometry has been ripped up, thrown into the air and kissed to death! My understanding of the universal constants of physical reality has changed ... forever! "I shouted out loud repeating the famous and incredible" Finally ... it's my turn "speech from the Twelfth Doctor.
"Guardian, where have you been, what happened to your arm, what he's wearing and those are wings!" Shouts Altair, clearly mad with worry and stress, worse than a mother who lost her baby in the square.
"Sir Holmes! You are back! Your arm has grown back, a relief!
The red coat and broadsword are great where you got them !?
Are they wings? Does that mean we can fly together? "Asked Stylet, the tiny 6-inch robot-girl, sounding like a kid who just recontacted his older brother after a long separation.
"It's nice to see you, let's go to the otaku room, watch an Anime with mecha, eat something and I'll tell you what happened." I explained to my little synthetic friends.
Right now the Celestial Forge has activated giving me ... technological advantages, after so much magic it's up to science.
Gift number one, Ceph Technology Free (Crysis), a vial with a sample of Ceph technology inside, a grain of sand with which I can build a pyramid.
Sherlock Holmes once said: "From a drop of water a logical mind can deduce the existence of the Atlantic or Niagara Falls without knowing them or having ever seen them. I have my drop of water, now allow me to deduce. "
This applied to the scientific field means that I can study this sample of Ceph technology and end up building my own version of the Nanosuit. I wonder what can happen if you combine Generator Rex's Nanites with Crysis's Ceph nanotechnology?
Gift number two, The Space Age (Ratchet & Clank), the ability of an elite pilot to fly Spaceships combined with the skills to build and improve a spaceship of the Ratchet & Clank galaxy.
Gift number three, Nanotech Wizard (Ratchet & Clank), another tech-focused perk. Ratchet & Clank's basic knowledge of nanotechnology.
Ultimate Doctor, is getting in tune with this knowledge, finding ways to apply it in medical purposes.
I really need to upgrade my equipment, this technology allows me to integrate nanotechnology into my tools causing an upgrade over time and to change their skills.
Gift number four, Mecha-Shift Engineer (RWBY), no Aura or Semblance powers from the world of RWBY. Only the engineering knowledge needed to create, maintain, and upgrade the mecha-shift weapons used by Hunters and Hunters, and how to apply these design principles to other projects.
Skimmer Tech (Storm Hawks) syncs with Mecha-Shift Engineer (RWBY), an advantage that allows me to create transformable weapons and an advantage that allows me to create transformable vehicles. Versatility will be my name from now on, if I add a little bit of Ratchet & Clank nanotechnology.
The last four gifts come from the Constellation, Sword Art Online, finally something fun that can be used to get rich and make every Gamer's dream come true. A virtual reality video game on a global scale.
Number one, NerveGear (Sword Art Online SB), the eponymous virtual reality headset device that kicks off the entire plot of the Sword Art Online series. Before presenting it and selling it to the public I have to remove the microwave transceivers that I can completely destroy the user's brain, do some tweaks to the design and the security system.
Bonus, my personal version allows me to astrally project you into the game, allowing you to physically experience a video game, regardless of whether it supports virtual reality or not.
Gift number two, VRMMO (Sword Art Online SB) Subscription, a physical cartridge copy of all the VR games mentioned within the series.
Gift number three, The Seed (Sword Art Online SB), I just won the latest generation video game lottery, the pinnacle of Akihiko Kayaba's work and something that can revolutionize the world when applied correctly.
In short, a development kit: a predefined set of software packages and multimedia resources that can be used to create virtual reality worlds. It comes with Cardinal System, an Artificial Intelligence that focuses on the maintenance, development, expansion of this virtual universe.
Last gift, a big one, Genius of Your Age (Sword Art Online SB), I became Kayaba Akihiko's equal. I am perhaps the greatest non-Tinker genius software, hardware, code design, AI creation etc.
Tomorrow I have to go find a lawyer and start bringing the idea of the rich superhero to life with his successful company. I mean who is interested in video games? Medicine, engineering, weapons can attract people's attention, but video games less so.
But first I'll have fun like a normal nerdy teenager.

POV Narrator
After a quarter of an hour of explanations and interruptions.
Holmes is stretched out on the sofa in the otaku room, with an iPad by his side.
Stylet together with a joystick is placed on top of a robot to vacuum the dust, he is playing a video game from the world of Re Creators.
If the model girl is behaving as if she had not witnessed a traumatic event.
Altair on the other side is going to have a heart attack or a short circuit if we're to be precise.
"Guardian, let me understand, you have been teleported to a pocket dimension." Altair asked, sounding like a worried parent.
"Yes." Holmes replied, tired of this discussion that seems to be repeated several times.
"From some kind of mysterious creature that looks like a human child." Altair said, truly sounding like a father disapproving of his favorite son's new girlfriend.
"Yes, Rachel Alucard is an immortal vampire with the look of a cute girl in a Gothic Lolita costume." Holmes said, smiling, the boy is quite vulnerable to the beauty of a maiden.
"He forced you to face his wolf monster for his sick amusement." He blamed Altair, directing the events with darker colors.
"More or less, I faced Rachel's werewolf butler, an incredibly powerful old man, I didn't have to, I agreed to face Valkenhayn in an official duel." Holmes explained, trying to calm Altair down.
"All to win a big sword and an old coat." Altair said, in a discontented tone of voice, not appreciating the risks involved for such a reward.
"An indestructible sword capable of transforming into a scythe, an incredibly well made and indestructible crimson coat and don't forget the magic arm, the BlazBlue." Holmes said, pulling up the sleeve of her dress to show off her magical and potentially cursed right arm.
"The creature who kidnapped you, using her feminine tricks, made you attach a mysterious and cursed artifact to your body, who knows what the side effects of such an action are!" Altair continued to see only the ugly and worst parts of each scene.
"I agreed to receive BlazBlue, the side effects are:
Enhanced strength, virtually infinite stamina, a new healing factor, the ability to use and manipulate a new source of magical energy, Seithr, to execute a new branch of magic, Ars Magus. "Holmes explained, omitting for the moment of tell the most dangerous facts such as dying or risking being transformed into a monstrous eight-headed snake capable of devastating the whole world.
"Altair, please don't be a pain in the ass, you said what you meant, I listened to you and answered your questions. Now let me read my emails from my account on Parahumans Online, abbreviated to PHO." Iron-Star said, berating his Ghost for acting like an overprotective parent.
Holmes without further interruption logged into his account on PHO, which was created a day ago before his debut.
Iron-Star was not in the least surprised to find that his inbox was overflowing with messages.
"A lot of nonsense, however there is an important message from an administrator, Tin_Mother, Dragon hides behind this name. So I can't ignore it, I'll see what he wants, then let's go talk to Dragon on his official account." Holmes muttered, tapping quickly on the digital keyboard.
XXX
Tin_Mother: [Good evening, Iron-Star, as this account was created a day before "Iron-Star" showed up in Brockton Bay, I assume you are the same Cape in question and you are attempting to make an appearance PHO as many independent Capes do.
However, before I can allow your account to post now that Iron-Star's name is reported by the PRT as belonging to a Cape with that name, I need proof that you are her. Please respond with proof. The simplest proof method is a picture of you in costume, your account name written on a poster, today's date and my name below. Any other method you wish to use is also fine as long as I can prove it comes from the mantle in question. Please ask if you need another option.]

"Altair, Stylet, let's go to the Hangar we have to take some pictures and a video to get a tag: (Cape Verified)." Holmes said, reluctantly rising from the sofa.
"Sir Holmes, let's do a show, let me take care of the soundtrack." Stylet asked, wanting to help his master.
"If you take care of the soundtrack, I'll take care of the editing." Altair said, not wanting Stylet to steal his job.
"Very well, just stay away from the camera's objective, your presence must be a well-kept secret." Iron-Star explained, opening the door to his little synthetic friends.
XXX
Almost two hours later, I finished doing a short montage and submitting a custom theme on PHO. Followed by another hour of preparing drafts, schematics and technological presentations.
Iron-Star returned to the computer room, working on the computer from the Constellation, Batman Beyond.
Once installed and with all the preparations made, Holmes, start looking at the official Dragon PHO account.
'Even with the newly obtained (Cape Verified) tag, Holmes isn't sure he can talk to Dragon today.
Maybe the Canadian heroine is an AI who works 24/7, but that doesn't mean she keeps an eye on her web profile every moment. ' Holmes thought, deciding whether he should wait for a response from Dragon or start working on updating his gear.
"We might as well try." He muttered Iron-Star, starting to write a message for the best Tinker in the world.
XXX
Iron-Star: [Hi Dragon, I'm the unsurpassed Iron-Star!
I am a Grab-Bag Cape, my main power is the creation of advanced technologies, my specialization is currently unknown.
Do I have some assumptions, war weaponry, exotic energy or medicine?
You are most likely being contacted regularly by new tinkers from all over the world looking to work or do business with you.
Due to the Empire 88 terrorist attack on Winslow High School, I was on the outside before finishing all my preparations.
But I have managed to make significant progress in medical and computer advances, especially the last one.
In 30 hours I have scheduled a meeting with the local Protectorate to introduce some of my technologies and test my superpowers.
If things go well, I will have a cordial and perhaps commercial connection with the Protectorate. But if things don't go well, I'd rather have a plan B, work with you and split the profits 50/50.
If you are interested I can share more details and present the schematics of my projects for sales purposes using a more secure and private server]
[Hi Iron-Star, it may surprise you but there are few Tinkers who try to contact me and civilly discuss sharing technology and making business proposals.
Tinkers with heroic tendencies usually join the Protectorate and contact me through them.
While those who are not heroically inclined strongly avoid taking cash with famous heroes, preferring to contact Toybox or similar organizations.
Most of what I get on PHO is filtered out by my spam AI's, as it's only from regular people who wish me well or thank me for what I've done, but anyone with a verified Cape ID warns me and I personally check those. messages.
I would be extremely interested in any type of medical and computer technology exam you have been able to create and would like to speak to you on a more secure channel.
I can't promise anything that I consider safe outside of PRT headquarters. But I have a private server designed especially for similar situations. Here is the link: XXXXXX]

"I'm lucky, Dragon has responded so quickly and already has a place prepared to carry on the negotiations." He muttered Iron-Star, picking up several USB sticks with the material to send to Dragon.

Iron-Star: [At first glance this is one of the best private chat sites.]
Dragon: [What did you want to talk to me about?]
Iron-Star: [As mentioned earlier, I am Grab-Bag Cape, among my secondary powers are Thinker abilities, which allow me to notice unique details in Thinker technology.
This factor, together with my normal knowledge at the doctoral level of medicine and a high knowledge of an expert in mechanics and computer science, allowed me to create a non-Tinker technological copy of some of my inventions, I can do reverse engineering of the my Tinker-Tech technology.
The process isn't perfect, my custom Tinker product for myself is a dragon worthy of a fantasy novel.
The non-Tinker product designed for the masses is a pet dog for the provincial neighborhoods.
Here are the pictures:
{BlazBlue photograph} my Tinker-Tech prosthesis, made of an impossible-to-replicate material, capable of replicating all the functions of the arm and generating an exotic energy source named by me, Seithr, for offensive and defensive uses.
{Photographs of Automail} my prostheses for ordinary people, the cost is comparable to a sports bicycle and in need of rudimentary maintenance every month if you exert too much effort. {Information on the metal alloy / production diagrams / operation to perform the intervention}
As you can see there are huge differences between the impossible-to-replicate version available only to me and the mass-produced stuff for the common man. ]
Dragon: [You got me even more interested in this, tinkers that can decode the technology of other tinkers are extremely rare. Masamune is the only one who has really shown promising results in that area. Armsmaster is only able to do this in a very limited context, but what he can do is also extremely unusual for a tinker, demonstrating how good he is. A quarter would be a big deal if it turned out wide.]
Iron-Star: [Believe me I understand, a Tinker is always wanted by the good guys and the bad guys.
But a Thinker / Tinker with a possible specialization in war weapons, capable of mass-producing his technology at a moderate cost ...
I would be one of the most wanted men in the whole world, that's why first of all I prepared myself properly.
Let me tell you about NerveGear.
{NerveGear photograph / basic diagram / description of operation}
A device that can be used to deepen the study of neuroscience, help the terminally ill and rehabilitation.
But the best part comes when you think about entertainment, a virtual reality video game.
This trinket is my ticket to wealth, if I can get the certificate of "safe and trustworthy" from the PRT, I can produce and sell it all over the world.
With the money I earn, I can become more than just a crime-fighting hero.
Laying the foundations of an industrial company focused on scientific development, I could revitalize the local economy and help the whole world if my medical projects are completed and put on the market.]
Dragon: [Your projects are promising, I have to study them to give a full evaluation on your products.
Today I will talk about this with Director Piggot and Armsmaster, I recommend that you bring you a capable lawyer and the best champions of technology.
On Monday, I'll be on the Ring with Armsmaster for all your projects and see what you've been able to accomplish, if they're good I'll help you sell them to the public. You could revolutionize some fields of medicine and computer science.]
Iron-Star: [You have no idea, Dragon. You have no idea. I have big plans and even bigger ambitions, I want to become I want to prove to the people of Brockton Bay that the city does not belong to the corrupt and the criminals.
But I can't do it as a simple Tinker, as a man of flesh and blood they can ignore me or crush me, but as a symbol ... as a symbol I could be incorruptible. I could be immortal.]
Dragon: [What symbol?]
Iron-Star: [The Symbol of Peace, recognized by all. A star that lights the way and gives hope in whatever situation, I can save people without stopping smiling.]
Dragon: [A beautiful dream and a loving goal. But it will be difficult to achieve]
Iron-Star: [The essence of a hero is to get busy even if no one asks you!
I will save the world at the cost of my life, it started with Brockton Bay and I will end with the Endbringers.
I have to go, Tinker's escape, I have a lot to present on Monday.]

POV Iron-Star
"Mentioning Batman and All Might was a good idea, I'll score points with Dragon, which means extra points with Armsmaster which in turn are big points for the Protectorate." I muttered, getting up from the seat and leaving the computer room.
In the middle of the discussion with Dragon, the Celestial Forge has been activated giving me the necessary to make great progress.
The Constellation Generator Rex ignited for good, giving me five gifts.
Gift number one, Personal Workshop (Generator Rex), a laboratory with high quality materials and equipment on par with those used by Providence, a global clandestine military organization. In possession of the technologies necessary to study and perfect nanotechnology I have here. Ratchet & Clank's Ceph Technology, Normal Nanites and Nanotechnology.
Gift number two, Beloved Creator (Generator Rex), a passive social power, all my sentient creations are completely loyal to me and in no case will I voluntarily harm myself.
Gift number three, Technopathy (Generator Rex), my nanites have synchronized with my brain, allowing me to interface and control machines, to the point of crude telekinesis.
Gift number three, AI Specialist (Generator Rex), the skills to create a custom Artificial Intelligence. Then Dragon won't be the only heroic AI in the world.
AI Specialist (Generator Rex), Genius of Your Age (Sword Art Online SB), Miracle Maker (Frame Arms: Girls!) Came together perfectly.
He began to wonder if my perks are partially sentient like Shards / Agents of Worm, when there are similar new perks they seem to "interact" with each other.
Last gift, Recto, study, replica (Generator Rex), a unique talent for decoding superhuman abilities, I just have to watch and carefully analyze how the powers work and I can use the technology to replicate those powers. It works best for biological and technological powers.
Returning to reality I find myself in the corridor of the Star-Forge, in front of the door with a metal plate that says: Chamber for nanotechnology.

This "room" is a kind of tower, the laboratory room is voluminous and takes the shape of a semicircle. It is large with a very complex interior design, especially to accommodate the room's ability to act as an elevator and transport the entire room to and from the "zoo".
It has high ceilings and two lower levels, the first being a base level leading to the entrances and exits.
It also extends into a path that leads to the rounded circumference of the room, where there are a series of windows built to let in the sunlight and overlook the "zoo".
The first level has a couple of stairs leading to the second lower level, where experiments and experimental research take place.
The second level consists of worktops with laboratory glassware, monitors and machinery used for medical purposes, such as a CT scan; where you can get biometric screening.
"The clock shows it's 1 am, so I have 33 hours to update my costume, find a lawyer, have an appointment with Parian. Let's get to work!" I exclaimed, ready to work for several hours at full power.
Keep it going ...

Benefits / items earned in this chapter:
Bath House (Fate / Legends - Empires of Antiquity) (50): There is now a marble bathhouse for you, attached to a property you own or stand alone. Large enough to accommodate several dozen baths, relaxation rooms and massages of various sizes, maintained by a staff of highly trained but otherwise normal attendants and even constantly stocked with water of the right temperature, specialty herbs and a seemingly endless supply of food and Roman drinks. It is the perfect place to relax, especially as bathing in the waters here makes people feel much more uninhibited in their thoughts and actions. It helps create the kind of satisfyingly degenerate atmosphere that the Romans enjoyed, one where the happy ending comes often and repeatedly.
Ceph Technology Free (Crysis) (100): Inside this small vial is a delicate sample of said Commander Ceph, once active but now "dead". The nanomachine is still active at some level, but it acts without intelligence or connection with the Hive Mind Ceph, making it relatively safe to handle. It's not exactly a goldmine of every possible Ceph technology, but studying it can yield huge advances.
+ Engineer (Ratchet & Clank) (100): Rather than running around to save the universe, you are happy with the machinery kingdom instead. With this origin you may have been a child working in his back shed, a respected maintainer or perhaps even a gadgetron engineer. Either way, your daily life is filled to the brim with the technology of this place.
The Space Age (Ratchet & Clank) (Free): Get some exceptional piloting skills. You can be considered in the highest percentage of pilots for your raw talent. It also comes with the skills and knowledge base to build and improve ships; this includes ship upgrades, cosmetics and weapon systems.
Nanotechnology Wizard (Ratchet & Clank) (100): Gain a basic understanding of the nanotechnology of this universe. Use it to heal yourself when you get hurt or use it on others. When integrated with weapons or armor, it gives them the ability to update over time and change their skills.
Mecha-Shift Engineer (RWBY) (200): Have all the engineering knowledge needed to create, maintain and upgrade the mecha-shift weapons used by Hunters and Slayers and how to apply these design principles to other projects. very small shapes, as well as machinery that turns into different shapes like a sniper rifle that turns into a scythe.
NerveGear (Sword Art Online SB) (Free): The virtual reality headset of the same name that kicks off the entire storyline of the series, and the second generation of FullDive technology invented by the man behind the machine, Akihiko Kayaba. A streamlined helmet coated in dark blue, this headset uses powerful microwave transceivers to access the user's brain, allowing it to send false signals to the user's five senses; It is also possible to block sensory input from the body, and in fact what prevents players from fidgeting in reality while taking action in the game. Sending someone into a virtual world is not all this headset can do, however, as thanks to the power of microwave transceivers it is possible to completely destroy the user's brain, disrupting life processes via targeted bursts at specific locations within the brain. During the events of Sword Art Online your copy of the headset is like any other in this area, but after the conclusion of the death game it loses this functionality. Plus, unlike regular helmet copies, your version allows you to astrally project yourself into the game, allowing you to physically experience a video game, whether it supports virtual reality or not. Your projected self is considered for all purposes, allowing you to retain the perks and abilities you possess during your time in the game.
VRMMO Subscription (Sword Art Online SB) (Free): Having a device to play virtual reality games is a bit of a problem if you don't have any games to actually play using that device, all things considered. Luckily you don't have to worry about that, having a physical cartridge copy of all the VR games mentioned within the series, along with an unlimited subscription to their services if they are online titles. Private servers are provided to host those that cannot be played offline after the jump ends or if they end up closing in-jump.
The Seed (Sword Art Online SB) (400): You've come across something pretty impressive here Jumper, the pinnacle of Akihiko Kayaba's work, and something that can revolutionize the world when applied correctly. The simplest and most obvious use of this is as a development kit - a predefined set of program packages and multimedia resources that can be used to create virtual reality worlds, as well as control the input and output of the players' five senses. , provided you are wearing the NerveGear or a device based on it. The second element contained within is the famous Cardinal System, an Al developed to manage the entire Sword Art Online system, providing balance to enemy encounters and fixing bugs based on what players encounter and do during the game. Because, it can even provide mental health care through the mental health counseling programs it has as part of its subsystem, helping to ensure that players are happy and mentally healthy while playing. Cardinal was also famous for creating complete content without any human input, for scouring the internet to create mythology-based missions or enemies; if you wanted you could be an individual game developer for something that rivals a AAA title in terms of content and quality. With study and commitment it is possible to replicate the Cardinal and Mental Health programs, creating new Als at the same level as the Mental Health Counseling Program within the Companions section.
Genius of Your Age (Sword Art Online SB) (600): Kayaba Akihiko, all in all, is a genius. Not only in computer hardware, although the NerveGear and Medicuboid inventions have revolutionized entertainment and medical care for dying patients, but also in the fields of software and code design. He was instrumental in the goal of creating artificial intelligence, serving both as the creator of top-down AI like Yui and Cardinal, and as a great inspiration and guide for bottom-up AI. known as Fluctlight. Now, you're as smart as he is. A revolutionary in electronic design of hardware and software, able to recreate his inventions and even enhance them with your special touches (or maybe just more time and previous work examples), you possess all the knowledge and skills this man was for. known. Creating your own virtual worlds is now entirely possible, as life is born of electronics and computer code instead of flesh and blood. The same secrets of the soul are now known to you, Jumper, in the form of the Fluctlight creation.
+ Scientist (Generator Rex) (Free): even before nanites appeared in the world, you were already a scholar, a man / woman of science, independent of your area of study, whether it was psychology, biology, chemistry, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology or what ever. Nanites have opened new avenues for developing human technology, in many different areas. You are one of the many scientists responsible for studying and attempting to understand nanites and their effects or, depending on your choices, you are one of the scientists who worked directly in the Nanite Project, being one of those responsible for creating these microscopic machines.
Personal Laboratory (Generator Rex) (Free): What is a scientist without a proper laboratory? Still a bright mind, but it doesn't matter now. You have an adequate laboratory at your disposal, on a par with those used by Providence, with high quality materials and equipment. The lab can become an attachment to your warehouse or any of your other buildings.
Beloved Creator (Generator Rex) (Free): Imagine working for years in creating Artificial Intelligence to control your other creations and ends up going rogue and trying to kill you. Fortunately, this isn't a problem for you. Any of your sentient creations are inherently loyal to you and are almost totally incapable of hurting you or your allies, including the ability to resist the controlling abilities of someone who wants to kill you. In the worst case, your creations will remain neutral towards you.
Technopathy (Generator Rex) (100): Your nanites allow you to interface and control machines, to the point of crude telekinesis that could repair damaged computer cables or screens. However there are ways to make the technology immune to your control, but so far only crazy AI has proven the ability to do so, so it may be beyond the scientific capabilities of most people.
AI Specialist (Generator Rex) (100): Whether they are basic programs or a true conscious intelligence, you are a specialist in creating artificial intelligences, better known as AI. The AI created by you will always be of the highest quality, able to evolve to work better in their functions or even unlock new skills. Plus, you don't have to worry about them evolving to the point that they interrupt their programming and turn against you or start thinking that blocking yourself somewhere is best for you.
Recto, study, replica (Generator Rex) (200): The former chief scientist of Providence, Dr. Fell, was a man who believed that ends justify ends. To find a way to replicate Rex's healing ability, he was willing to dissect the boy molecule by molecule. Even if you don't share the same ideas, you learned one thing with the doctor: how to decode superhuman abilities. Unlike Fell, there is no need to dissect the original users to find out how to replicate their abilities, just observe and carefully analyze how their powers work and what their source is. You can discover ways to replicate these powers using technology, such as crafting an exo-armor to replicate super strength or gauntlets that can copy and control machines, or ways to grant them to other people. This advantage works best in reverse engineering of biological and technological traits.
