My first language is not English. I don't own Warhammer 40k.
The warm water washed away all the dirt, ash and sweat that had built up and warmed my body. After being in a cold Dungeon with far too few clothes, a hot shower is paradise.
Eeeeeerh, I have so much to go over, like when they ask me how did I know the planet was going to explode, how did you manage to survive, then there's all my new Skill and Lv… actually I can take care of it now. System, put all my Lv in Rogue.
[Note. Putting a Lv in Rogue class]
[Note. You are Lv11 Rogue]
[Note. You have acquired Skill [Dodge Lv1]]
[Note. You have reached Lv 10 in a Class, do you want to choose a Subclass?]
I blinked in surprise at the new information. Subclass? I have Subclass?
[Answer. Yes]
Ok, can you tell us about Subclass? What are they?
[Answer. Subclass is an Archetype of a Main Class with Skill more specifically on the role the Archetype belongs to. Should I look for possible Archetype?]
[Yes/No]
Yes thank you.
[Note. Looking for possible Archetype]
.
..
..
[Note. 6 Archetype found. Rogue Trader, Tomb Raider, Arcane Trickster, Assassin, Scout, Thief, Seeker of Secrets]
Oh, that was more than I thought… Hum, I can understand Rogue Trader, but Tomb Raider? I've never played one of those games- Oh, it was the Dungeon right?.
[Answer. Yes, by clearing a Dungeon within Lv10 you have unlocked Tomb Raider]
Let me guess, it specializes in Dungeon Raiding? After I asked the question, a window opened.
Tomb Raider, an Archetype that specializes in Dungeon diving and gets extra xp from Dungeon Quest and is the best at getting the best out of the Dungeon.
Yeah, I'll say no to that, the Dungeon was the worst thing I've experienced since coming here, why would I ever do a Dungeon again?
[Note, Dungeon is one of the best way to get Skill and xp]
I got fucking 300 xp from hard mode, I got ten times more in The Dungeon!
[Note. It was included, and you didn't get anywhere near the same amount of xp elsewhere]
I tried to talk back, but realized it was right. So, wait, Arcane Trickster, Assassin, Scout, Thief are all DnD classes, didn't you say something about that before?
[Answer. Yes, there are Classes that are easy to unlock, the Classes from DnD and all their Subclasses are in the System]
Wait, does that mean I can become a Wizard? I asked with a hopeful tone.
[Answer. Yes, but you haven't unlocked it]
How do I unlock it?
[Answer. By becoming a Psyker]
Aaaaaar, I would have guessed that. Ok, can you tell me about Seeker of Secrets?
Seeker of Secrets are those who search across all the stars and into the darkest reaches of space to find all secrets, the Seeker of Secrets is an Archetype that focuses on finding secrets that can empower you and would unmake a mortal mind. A Class for that which seeks to acquire knowledge. Unlock by blessing from Tzeentch or from a direct encounter with Tzeentch.
Yeah, I'll skip this one, I'd rather be a Mastermind Rogue. Hey, can I choose the Mastermind Archetype, I think it might be useful, and it was fun when I tried it.
[Answer. No, yours Mind is too low]
Hey, are you calling me stupid, I'm not stupid…Wait, can I see my stats again?
Hp: 17
Strength: 10
Agility: 9
Endurance: 9
Mind: 7
Will: 12
It was as I remember, my Mind is the lowest stats I have... I really need to bring it up. Damn, should I read more?
[Answer. Nothing can help you]
I DIDN'T ASK YOU! Ok ok, I shouldn't be mad about it, I'll look at The Rogue Trader. I mean, I already am one, I might as well build around it.
Rogue Traders are the free ones, those who explore and find riches for the Imperium of Man to conquer. Rogue Trader is an Archetype that focuses on exploration, business and conflict between nobles and the company they support.
I think I'll take this one, not only is it what I do, but it's a way to make a lot of money so I can retire on a safe planet, and not have to worry about dying, or anything like that. I'll take Rogue Trader.
[Note. You cannot change the Subclass for a Class after you choose one, do you want to continue with the Rogue Trader Subclass?]
[Yes/No]
Um, ok now I have to do some thinking, but that sounds reasonable. In DnD you can't multiclass in the same Class, so you can't be a Necromancer Wizerd and a Transmutation Wizerd at the same time, so it makes sense that I can't do the same, but will I need the others? Will I lose something valuable that I will regret? Neh, I've already checked the ones I didn't know about and if I regret it, I can just do the others... I really need to unlock the other Class. Anyway, Yes.
[Note. You are a Lv11 Rogue, Rogue Trader]
[Note. You have acquired Skill [Barter Lv1]]
Huh, I should have guessed it was a Skill I would get from that Subclass, if you ask me that's a pretty good Skill in a game. I had it almost every time in Fallout 4. However, it's an underwhelming Skill.
"Hey, you have five minutes to get dressed and ready for your interrogation by Lady Hilduna!".
Oh, it is an interrogation now. Oops, I haven't thought of an explanation yet, I can think about it as I walk, but now.
I turned off the water and dried myself off and put on some real fucking clothes. On the way out of the shower I said to the System, show me all of the new Skills. A group of windows opened up in front of me covering my vision, I hadn't asked in a while, so all the Skill sense Fire Resistance came up, but I ignored them for the ones I was interested in.
[Solar] Legendary
You are blessed by the sun and when you stand in its domain, it will bless you with strength. Like Superman and Escanor, standing in sunlight gives a buff to your Strength, Endurance and Psyker, with a smaller HP regeneration. Buff is dependent on the amount of sunlight you absorb to a max of 1000.
Oh shits, I'm superman now, or Escanor. It also explains why I felt better after I got out of the Dungeon, and the tree.
[Holy Healer Lv1]Rare
Rituals, surgery and normal care, Holy Healer gives you knowledge on how to use it. Because you are the Holy man who brings small to big miracles, to scrapes to whole body parts, Holy Healer gives you the solution.
Yea, it's useful, but right now it can only tell about small wounds and not much more. It should get better when its Lv gets higher.
[Lore of Change Lv1]Rare
A collection of spells used by the Daemon wizards in the service of the Chaos God Tzeentch. The daemons of Tzeentch wield the stuff of raw change, the very essence of magic. This form of sorcery is so dangerous that mortal sorcerers could not hope to control such baleful energies (without this Skill). Now you can use the Sorcery of Tzeentch. Sorcery unlock:
Bolt of Tzeentch: "This spell manifests as a prismatic beam of raw magic that tears its victims apart in a display of multispectral colour".
Oh, cool, so I can use Spells now, but I have no Psyker Skill or more than zero in my Psyker stats?
[Answer. No, you still need a Psyker Skill to use games and this Skill]
So, this one is useless for me?
[Answer. Yes]
Well, I didn't want to be a Psyker anyway.
[Question. Didn't you say you wanted to be a Wizerd?]
You can ask questions now?! And no, I mentioned Wizerd as an example to myself. I need it so I can understand it properly.
"Hey, are you ready? If you don't come out within a minute, we will drag you out of there. Clothed or unclothed".
"I'm coming!". I finished tying my shoe and went out in the normal Custa Company uniform. The guards showed the way much more kindly than last time and I began to think of excuses and explanations.
In the Warp a few hours ago…but there is no time in the Warp…
In the Warp an incomprehensible time, earlier?
Tzeentch planned his next scheme when he felt something, a fragment of him he had thrown away long ago. But it wasn't P'tarix and Xirat'p who had found them like all the others he had reclaim yet. No, someone had activated it, and now he could feel his corruption had spread around it, and changed the surroundings.
Tzeentch opens a portal to his fragments and saw a human. Tzeentch immediately looked into his mind and soul, and saw that he was just a normal human, not a Psyker. He knew about him and not looking at him directly, but what intrigued him was that he knew that he couldn't keep the portal open that long.
Opening a portal from the Warp and taking something from there is difficult and something only Tzeentch can do easily without catastrophic consequences on the surroundings. But somehow this man was able to know how long it was, and he plans to trick him and get away with his life.
Tzeentch liked his plan, and let him go with it for a while. He even explained and told the way out, for he knew that the arrogant man who thinks he can deceive The Great Deceiver would never survive.
So he spoke away, the time drew near and Tzeentch played his hand, he was about to take over his mind when the human played his hand. The fragment disappeared, and not only that, Tzeentch knew it was there before he felt fragments, but now, it was as if it had never existed. It took Tzeentch a couple of seconds to feel through all of creation and that fragment is gone.
The man obviously knew what had happened, was it something about the System he was talking about? Which System? A star system? A political system? Or a mechanist or psychic system to trick me, or all of the Chaos God? Is this The God-Emperor Of Mankind plan? Tzeentch had his suspicions that it was The God-Emperor Of Mankind in disguise before him, as how he has his suspicions that The God-Emperor Of Mankind was the little girl with her dog who made it through his crystal labyrinth.
There was no time left and in an attempt to find out what had happened, he began dragging his mind with him, all the memories and knowledge, with his ego. It would leave him an empty shell while his mind was racked for what Tzeentch wanted to know. The strange thing was the resistance, it wasn't strong, but at the last second it got stronger. He didn't push more, or get help, it was like his resistance got stronger, that little saved him because the portal closed, and the fragment was lost, for now.
The Great Deceiver had been tricked… Tzeentch threw a bolt of energy and destroyed a flying land mass and destroyed every demon that had a physical body, even the lord of change was not spared. Tzeentch was angry, and then curious, The God-Emperor Of Mankind would not let him be so close as to draw his mind to his realm? And can he really get a fragment of him to disappear like that? No, it was something else, something new, and he will find out what it is. Tzeentch began to scheme for the future and how he can use it.
Well shit, I've forgotten everything I was thinking. God dammit, why do big boobs make men mind go blank? I had been escorted to the boss lady offers and realized I had forgotten how big she is. Ron and Bartellophis were already here, Bartellophis was almost left as a head, but he was attached to a body. His head was under his arm with cords going from his neck to his head, he had none of his red robes or any of his priest things, I can't see his face, but he looks annoyed.
"Ah, Mr. Ward, now that you're here, can you tell me why the planet that was supposed to be used to create a new forge world is now in pieces?". Her voice didn't sound angry, but there was an undertone that I can tell is the same my mother has used when I've done something stupid.
"Hilduna, you can't believe he could have-".
"Shut up Ron, it's Mr. Ward I'm asking, and it's Mr. Ward I want an answer from. So, why is the planet in pieces?"
"You see, I was walking and all of a sudden it started shaking and I ran and got Bartellophis and Hollie, and ran until I found Ron".
"No you didn't, from what Bartellophis told me, you knew the planet was going to explode and you ran like you knew the way, so what are you hiding?".
Damn, what can I say?! Can I tell the truth? No, if they find out I've been in contact with a Chaos God, they will kill me, or worse! What can I say so that I don't get in trouble, or that I get in less trouble.
"Ok ok, I found a door, I managed to open the door and found a room inside it, that room had a lot of treasures, but I didn't see the trap so I managed to activate something and a globe with the same color as the fire that consumed the planet fell into a hole. That's when I realized it would destroy the planet, and I ran away from there".
"So you didn't know that the planet was going to explode?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, but I was right," I said, trying to sound like I just think I know what I'm doing and I'm lucky, rather than fooling a god.
"Well we found out what happened to those who were there, it was teleporting Xenos with fire, I saw it burn a person to ashes, and cover another in com".
"Ron… You can. No, I've heard enough". She looked up with angry and tired eyes. "This is the second time in a row that you screw up, and now a whole world of valuable trees that could fucking withstand plasma and Warp energy is gone, this will cost us and the Imperium. You will get fucking desktop duty until I can trust you. And don't blow up that fucking planet, you are demist".
"Wait, I've barely explained, and where would you send us". She didn't answer his question and just let the guards drag us out.
We again stood outside her door, Ron was obviously annoyed. Bartellophis just walked away muttering about getting his new body.
"So, what's going to happen now?"
Ron looked at me for a second and sighed. "We will probably sit down and write report, and take care of smaller jobs, something necessary but boring and what I would call wasting your life. I have no idea where it is, but it probably won't bea nice planet, we probably won't be in danger for a while in all cases". He looked at me for a second and then started walking away. "I will begin packing, and you should too".
Um, he has a point, but I don't have so much to pack.
I sat on my bed and looked at my bag, and how empty it was, I didn't have much in this world. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard someone knock on the door.
I opened the door and saw Hollie on the other side, she looked better, but not so happy. Come to think of it, it's probably been almost 24 hours since I saw her.
"Hey, can we talk". Her voice was low and full of shame.
"Ok". I stepped aside, and let her in. She sat down on my freshly made bed and my Cleaning Technique immediately showed me how to fix it as quickly as possible.
"I wanted to say thank you for saving me".
"Oh, yes, it was nothing". I sat down next to her, and I just realized that I have seen her naked, and then that I reacted more to the boss lady's breasts than to her, and finally I decided that being in danger is a cockblocker.
"Hey, I don't really remember everything, but Bartellophis told me what happened. By the God Emperor, I had plans to kill you because I thought you took off my clothes".
"Well, you almost did, with a power sword too". It was terrifying.
"Oh, I don't remember that, I don't remember most of it". She looked down and mumbled, "But I remember you seeing me... And I saw you," hers cheeks turned red.
"Oh yeah, that, yes that happened". It doesn't bother me as much as I thought.
"It's strange, I've been told all my life that only my husband should see me like that, but now you and Bartellophis have seen me, and the doctor, but he's an exception.
I don't know where this is going, but it reminds me of when an anime protagonist sees a girl naked and needs to take responsibility.
"But now it is nothing like I thought it would be, I got sold because I could not get married".
"Huh?! Why? Why would they do that". This is not my world, so I can't always understand people's train of thought, so why.
"Yes Yes". She looked down, it was obviously not something she wanted to talk about.
"If you don't want to talk about it-"
"I'm sterile!". She screamed it out, it took me a couple seconds before understood what she said.
"So, why couldn't you get married?".
She looked at me like I was crazy. "Because I can't have any children, I can't give a family an heir".
"Oh, now I understand, it's your family plam to marry you off, and when you couldn't…" I didn't finish the sentence, it looked like she was going to cry.
This is not the Hollie I have known. No, this is the real one, not the one who is too high to see all the dangers and bad stuff in life.
"And".
"It… It's not a family".
She looked me straight in the eyes and shouted "That was the only thing I knew!".
Fuck, I didn't know how to deal with this, all I did at home was play video games and watch anime, fuck, I have to borrow the knowledge from that.
"Em, your family is not that of blood, but that which you feel at home with, yourself. You should find who you are, and who you enjoy being with, not the one who wants you to be someone else".
Her eyes became wider, and it was like she realized something. "I shouldn't be what my family wants, I should find what I want to be and become it".
Holy crap, anime talk works!? While I was amazed at how well it worked, Hollie leaned closer to me.
"In that case, I'm going to try something that I've always wanted to try, but never got the chance to try because it was meaningless. David, do you want to have sex with me?".
The fuck, did I take that out of a harem anime?! I cloud not finished thinking about it before she pushed me down on the bed.
Heh, a good ending for David, I didn't see that coming. This is the end of this arc, I will now work on my new ideas and then Quirk X Hunter.
