Meta-Knowledge is Power - Chapter 2
A/N: Thank you guys SO MUCH for reading my first chapter. It really means a lot to me. I know a lot of people will see a story with one chapter and not click on it because they're looking for a long story to read over the course of either a few hours, or a few days. Either way, if anyone has questions, I'll be answering them in the A/N from now on!
Responding to Reviews:
Hayden792: Thanks for the Positive Feedback!
Gellius G Gloop: I didn't really think about mixing the Oozaru with the Gigantification technique, simply for the fact that it would make my character too big to really be effective. Ideas like that are something i'd listen to, so if you have any others, I'd be willing to listen.

My eyes groggily open, as I'm greeted to the roof of a oak wooden cabin, with a drawing seemingly taped to the roof. I sit up from the bed, looking around the room. I notice a desk with some papers on it, a Dresser, a Closet, a wall filled with more of my drawings, and a chair with a familiar Jean Jacket hanging on the back of it.
"Is this...?" I grab the Jean Jacket and look it over.

[NAME DISCOVERED. UPDATING STATUS.]
I put on the Jean Jacket, and let it re-adjust to my body-shape. I check the pockets, and feel a familiar shifting pile in the form of 75 trading cards.
Even though I already know what it is... "{Appraisal}."
({Zero's Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck} {Rare Misc.} {5*} [1/75] A deck to play the famous trading-card game, Yu-Gi-Oh!. Upon level up, a Random card can become a spirit, but only if it's a Monster Card. {Cards: 75/75})

{Yamato} {Katana} (x1)
{Zero's Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck} {Cards: 75} (x1)
I take the {Yamato} out of my inventory, letting my hands feel the energy of the demonic blade. it feels... cold, and begrudgingly welcoming, but with a sense of curious anticipation. The blade knows I'm not it's true wielder, but it's wondering what I could do with its power.
"I will live up to your expectations, sooner or later." I say to the blade. I get a pulse of energy as a response, as if it said 'We'll see about that'. I return it to my inventory for now.

'Now that I think about it, I should set up some sort of company. Selling Pokémon media in this world might prove profitable... I would sell Dragon Ball media, but that might cause issues due to the fact that two of the races in that show are part of my heritage... anyways, I'm making a Bucket List right now.' I write down a bunch of ideas I'm planning on making, in one of the Private Notebooks.
Bucket List:
[] Set up a Company, and sell Media from my original world. (Songs, Shows, Games)
[] Gain Immortality. Don't wanna have all this power and die of old age.
[] Create a Base in a Pocket Dimension
[] Discover if I can go Super Saiyan, and if I can;
[] Reach Super Saiyan
[] Reach Super Saiyan 2
[] Reach Super Saiyan 3
[] Reach Super Saiyan 4
[] Find out if it's possible to reach/create Super Saiyan 5, or higher.
[] Create the Dragon Balls
[] See if I can make MY Dragon Balls as strong as the Super Dragon Balls
[] Find some sort of way to obtain Divine Energy. (Note: see if making a religion around the Super Saiyan God can help me with that)
[] Butt into canon, and fuck around for the benefit of Team RWBY and team JNPR. (Cinder will die before she kills Pyrrha
[] Fuck over Salem, for the funny.
[] Become Strong enough that I can protect everything I care about.
Plans of things to buy:
[] Blueprint: Star Dream/Galactic Nova
[] Blueprint: Master Ball
[] Jack Sparrow's Compass (Probably could buy it now, but I should save money until I have a LOT to spare)
[] Senzu Bean Sapling
[] Arc Reactor
[] Nanomachine Forge
[] Potara Earrings
[] Incubation Chamber
[] Greenhouse to Grow Berries
[] Gravity Chamber
'Honestly, this is going to take a while, so I need to get started on the Company part. If I don't have enough money? I can't do anything that will be beneficial long-term. If this was a story, there'd most likely be a time-skip coming up soon, but this is the real world, so I'd better buckle down and get this stuff done. Training can come after I've set up my company.'
I power up my Laptop, and start gathering information, along with making some business calls...
A/N: AND SCENE! Thank you for the support! I'm proud of where this story is going, even though I'm a bit nervous on future fight-scenes. I'm also thinking about making a Side-Document that shows Zero's Status, and her Inventory after Every Chapter. What do you all think about that? anyways, Thank you specifically to the two people who left reviews on the first chapter! you were my motivation to keep going!
