Blinking awake, Aleister couldn't stop a laugh escaping from him. He had been hoping for a powerful Noble Phantasm, and while it was no Nine Lives...
A spark of electricity traveled down his arms and into his hands.
System Keraunos was extremely useful, especially to someone who had no ranged attacks-
Shit, this meant the mana converter was rendered useless after only making it yesterday!? God dammit Gaia!
Mood soured, the Magician quickly dressed himself and got ready for work. He had plenty of things to do today before finally getting to what he'd been wanting for a few weeks. A calm, relaxed date with Medea.
Noble Phantasm gained!
- System Keraunos - Advent of Lightning.
The Noble Phantasm of Nikola Tesla, the sublimation os his exploits and deeds, the mystery of lightning.
1. Grants the user extremely potent electromagnetism manipulation, even without releasing its true name. By releasing the true name, it can destroy the entire surrounding area through the generation of "An outbreak of a limited, quasi-like space-time dislocation".
Spell improved.
- Ultimate Transmutation (An evolution of Transmutation, carrying the exact same limits and abilities as said spell, but it can be used to create substances and materials from other universes).
Senzu Beans (Dragon Ball).
Vibranium (Marvel).
Energon (Transformers Prime).
Phazon (Metroid. NOTE! This Phazon is completely loyal to Aleister and near-non sentient).
Celestial Bronze (Percy Jackson).
Stygian Iron (Percy Jackson).
This had been a disaster since the first plan.
Aleister glared at the wall, ignoring Nia, ignoring the three freakishly perfect corpses she'd created, and ignored the urge to punch something.
"How the fuck did I forget how the Third Magic works...? How the hell did I mess up this badly!?". He hadn't even tried training to manipulate others souls, and yet he made a plan that involved grabbing some from the bay?
And that didn't even take in account the fact Heaven's Feel didn't even need a fucking body to work, if he was using it at a lower form yes, but he had the full unrestricted True Magic. He could just make new bodies for the souls, he didn't need to waste time making flesh and blood bodies!
"Keep the bodies fresh, I may need them later". He ordered Nia who quickly nodded and got to work. He'd fucked up yes, but it wasn't the worst mistake he could make.
Sooo yeaaa, this was a plan that required multiple things we've got no experience in. Aleister hasn't one dabbled in manipulating others souls yet, and Heaven's Feel while it could put them into random bodies, literally can manifest the soul into creating a new body (Essentially creating a body from nothing that's a perfect reflection of the soul). But since this was a failure you guys really couldn't have expected...
Power improved.
The Third True Magic, capable of materializing the soul. Through it, the user's soul becomes an 'Eternal Generator' for all spiritual based energies (Mana, Reiryoku and such), meaning the user's soul will have an infinite amount of it. Because the user is now a materialized soul, their body can be changed in anyway, species, looks, or even sex.
1. User can now shift their physical body into a soul form, making them immune to any attack that doesn't effect the soul. The user must remain absolutely calm while using this, or it will not work.
2. Use can now shapeshift their body freely, but this can only be done while in soul form, changes made during soul form stick even in the physical body.
3. User can now interact with ghosts (AKA souls without bodies).
Okay so yea couldn't really think of anything for writing the SAD Factory and summoning Yaso again, so just know it happened and all that.
I've actually prepared a list of all our 'conquests' that will be published alongside this, so there ya go.
"Your coffee, sir". Aleister's new secretary spoke as she placed the cup on his desk, and...
"Thank you, Ellen". Aleister replied, hiding the annoyance he was feeling. He took the coffee and sipped it, it was okay but could be improved. What he was really trying to figure out was why he was so annoyed?
Ellen was perfect, the loyal and calm secretary fantasy he'd had for years... And she was another yes woman.
He cared for the Demi-Servants, he truly did and would be furious if any of them died (Even if he resurrected them, he wasn't sure if dying would mess with the brainwashing and destroy their current personalities). But at the same time, they lived on his whims, none of them had any dreams or greater goals beyond serving him.
Perhaps thats why despite having so much power and knowing he'd be getting more Demi-Servants soon, he felt greater attraction to true Servants? Medea loved him yes, but she had goals of her own outside him. Okita wanted justice, a better world, and would rebel against him if he went down a path to dark for her to follow. Gorgon? She barely listened to him, only around because of his promise to reunite her with her sisters. Hell, even Tomoe who he'd barely interacted with was more interesting, a man she was still in love with even now!
Aleister was tired of having absolute loyalty, he wanted loyalty yes, but he also wanted people working for him for their own goals, ambitions beyond just serving him.
The Magician sighed, quickly getting back to the coding he was working on, a last minute check up to ensure everything was ready for the dimensional exploration that'd soon occur.
Success! But I wanted to show off something here, while yes men and woman are good, Aleister is getting bored of the constant "Oh they're just absolutely loyal" package. ANYONE would get bored if theres never any conflict or disagreements.
In a swirling green light, a portal opened in the middle of Faust's castle. Keramon remembered his orders, and without hesitation jumped through-
Only to flail about it the zero gravity he'd suddenly entered, but after taking a few seconds to calm himself and float more freely, he glanced about... And then did it again.
"Keramon, come in Keramon! What do you see?". The collar he was wearing suddenly spoke up with Aleister's voice, the Virus frowned, was the camera not working?
"Big". The Digimon replied, staring at the abomination of flesh, crystals, and machinery seemingly consuming a red planet of similar appearance to Mars. And there was now beams of light aiming towards him. "HELP!".
He felt the familiar energy of his partner enter his body, and the sphere of data surrounding him as he digivolved.
KERAMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO...
His mouth opened, energy gathering at the canon that was unleashed against a beam of light and caused a massive explosion mid-air. The rest of his body quickly followed, becoming spider-like.
INFERMON!
The now Ultimate level Digimon stretched out one of his limbs, grabbing onto a floating rock and using it to launch himself away from the rest of the rain of light, but they just kept coming. The spider kept dodging, occasionally unleashing an attack to counter one that got to close, but at this rate he'd be forced to retreat.
Fine then.
Infermon closed his eyes for a few seconds, searching through his coding for the gift he'd been given, and OPENING IT!
"Gaaaargh! SPIDER SHOOTER!". The Ultimate roared, unleashing a blast of energy that tore through the enemies own attacks. He hadn't changed in appearance, there was no X form for Infermon, but he still wielded the power of an X-Antibody Digimon.
More beams of light hit him and the Virus grunted, it was painful yes...
But he was stronger.
Launching himself towards the strange hybrid abomination consuming the planet, he quickly began shooting out weaker Spider Shooter's at it, pieces of the abomination destroyed completely and utterly as he landed on the strange entity, looking for a piece of technology he could enter.
Infermon growled as he was hit with beams of light, tentacles of flesh, barrages of crystals, and thousands of other attacks, yet none of them could do more then scratch his body. But he was quickly running out of X-Antibody, so when he finally found a mechanical patch, he quickly transformed into data and entered-
TO MUCH!
The Virus roared in agony, thousands of voices screaming alongside him, there was to much data, so much of it just lashing out wildly with no idea what it was truly doing. It was painful, it was agonizing, it was trying to tear him apart!
But... No matter how it tried, a broken machine couldn't comprehend the power held within this single Digimon.
Infermon narrowed his eyes, ignoring the pain and did what a Virus Digimon did best... Infect.
The Shard struggled, its communications was cut first so it couldn't cry for help, its weapons were taken next. Its knowledge, its powers, everything it was, all of it was completely and utterly infected.
The Digimon let out a breath at his victory, that had proved... Difficult. It was more the constant surprises that had caught him off guard, but he had still attained victory.
Now what the hell had he actually gained victory over!?
"This... What the hell is this?". Aleister could only stare at the data before him in horror, those he'd included in Keramon's debriefing sharing his feelings (That being his Servants, Nibelcole herself, FB, and Meltryllis).
"Insanity, its complete and utter insanity! How the hell hasn't some cosmic force interfered?!". Medea was a witch from the Age of Gods, she knew secrets of the universe most could only dream of knowing. And yet this... It was horrifying on a level she never expected.
"Because there is nobody who CAN interfer! These... These things have probably destroyed any species or group that could stop them a long time ago". Okita looked green, her grip on her katana tightening.
"I am a Divine Spirit, a goddess... And I can tell you with absolute certainty even the worst of the Olympians would cut down these parasite without hesitation, whatever knowledge gained be damned". Gorgon hissed, dozens of hair snakes hissing alongside her. Even the Avenger found this to cruel.
"Its not just cruel, its idiotic! How the hell is giving humans powers, increasing their conflict drive, and having three giant monsters genocide cities going to solve entropy!?". Tomoe had only been on Earth Bet for a short time compared to everyone else, but she understood enough to know how foolish this all was.
"Creativity, they're barely better then programs, they're just... Big dumb beasts, who got lucky enough to be so strong nobody could stop them. Thousands of years with nothing to challenge them has dulled whatever intelligence they have". FB put forth her own thoughts.
All of them agreed however, that the knowledge Keramon had brought by hacking the 'Shard' of the Machine Army was game changing. They now knew a few things for certain.
First, parahuman powers were purely science based, giving the group an advantage with their more mystic alignment.
Second, Shards craved conflict and sough a solution to entropy, in the worst way possible.
Third, the Endbringers were designed as conflict engines, targeting cities specifically to cause chaos and ruin any chances of peace.
Fourth, the unknown enemy none of them had even realized existed...
"Scion, the first Parahuman in the world... What a lie you've been". Aleister glared at the image of the golden man, he knew he'd have to fight the 'hero' eventually, but now he knew the truth. "The information says there are two of these... Entities. Where the hell is the other one?".
Keramon shrugged, he'd not been able to find any information on the status of the second Entity.
"Perhaps Scion stands in the light while the second Entity manipulates things from the shadows?". Medea suggested, the master frowned. It was possible but...
They'd found answers, but it had only led them to worrying truths and even more questions.
First Shard, hacked. But it was literally the lowest of the low and Aleister has no way of checking how advanced each Shard is when he's trying to hack them. Add in we're very lucky nothing important was destroyed so Nibelcole keeps her... Well not really a straightforward Parahuman power.
We are now aware of the greater truth, not the entire situation but we know Scion's an Entity, the Shard cycle, and all that. But we don't know Eden's final fate, or about Cauldron.

[X] Travel to Shardspace and return alive (Legendary).
Mission complete!
Skip if you wish to avoid NSFW.
After the news they had received had shaken their spirits, Aleister was relieved to finally do something relaxing. Finally going out on a date with Medea, no parahumans interrupting, nothing but a relaxing dinner with his girlfriend. They had enjoyed a lovely pasta and then a walk by the sea, the Machine Army having worked wonders to transform one of the most ruined areas in Brockton Bay into a sight of parties, casino's, arcades, and a little over eighteen fun.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience for both of them. But...
(Look I'm bad at writing dates so you just get the sex scene).
"I've been waiting to do this for to long". Aleister grinned as he held his Caster in a bridal carry, a blush on her cheeks as she realized exactly what he was aiming for... And agreeing.
"J-just hurry please?". Medea was uncharacteristically shy, something that drew a raised eyebrow. "Look! I'm... I'm not the best at romance, sex? Jason wasn't exactly anything to write home about and we only did it a couple of times, mainly to have children".
"Cute, don't worry, I have enough experience for both of us". With a toss, Aleister tossed the flustered Caster onto the bed. Quickly he began to take off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest.
Medea nodded, her cheeks pink as she tapped her dress, causing it to disappear in a wave of purple sparks, leaving her...
"You look good enough to eat". The Magician grinned, it really was adorable how flustered the Caster got at compliments... And the fact his rising erection was obvious.
The two had no more need for words, Aleister quickly got onto the bed and grabbed Medea's ass, using it and an arm around her waist to drag her into a long drawn out kiss. His hands freely explored his lovers body, drawing a moan as his more experienced fingers danced across Medea's flesh.
The two pulled back, the Caster panting and completely unprepared for-
"EEEK!". Medea squeaked as her panties were torn off, her eyes being drawn to Aleister's full erection. "Wait wait wait wait! Your not thinking of-!".
She was silenced with another kiss, and calmed as she was her boyfriend grabbing a bottle of lubrication. She had lost to much control, so with a flick of her hand the lube flew to her. He may be her master, but the Princess of Colchis refused to be a complete sub.
"Aren't I meant to be doing some pleasuring to?". The Caster asked in a low, seductive voice. Unscrewing the bottle and squirting some out, she slowly rubbed up and down Aleister's dick. She grinned at the groan from him, placing a few kisses across his chest (And regretting not putting on any lipstick for the date, she wanted to see evidence of her efforts).
The two pushed forward for another kiss, and now lubed and ready, Aleister had only one goal.
THRUST!
"G-gods! S-so much bigger then Jason". Medea panted, her master hesitating in case he was hurting her, but with grit teeth. "H-hurry up! I swear to the Gods Aleister if I don't cum in the next-".
"Your wish is my command then, Princess". Aleister thrust forward again, drawing a moan from his lover. He quickly thrust backwards and forward, Medea let out a series of moans in time with each movement.
Eventually however, the Magician stopped with a grin, Medea was completely flustered as she moaned on his cock. There really was nothing sexier then having a beautiful woman under him, well there was one thing...
"Where do you want me?". He whispered into his lover's ear, his hands massaging her breasts. "Inside? Outside? I don't have to worry about you getting pregnant after all...".
"I-inside! Inside me!". Medea near begged, moaning again as Aleister thrust forward, just what he wanted to hear.
THRUST! THRUST! THRUST!
SPLAT!
"ALLEISTEEER!". Caster moaned as he unleashed his load right into her unprotected pussy, the Magician grinned as he slowly pulled out. Medea was near limp in his arms, a dazed smile across her lips as her lower lips leaked her juices freely.
Aleister gave her one final kiss, directly on the lips. As much as he wanted to just lay down after having sex... He was not sleeping in a bed covered in sexual fluids. So lifting his lover into his arms, he left the room and started heading towards the bathroom.
All in all, it truly was a good night.
I think this is the first full on sex scene I've ever written, so if its bad sorry I'm a story writer not a porn writer.
Bond up.
Medea: 10.
AND MAX BOND! I did consider giving you guys an item reward like our own version of Rule Breaker, but I decided on something different since there'd be no point in getting our own Rule Breaker when we have Medea.
Perk gained!
Age of Gods - Your body will act as if it was in the Age of Gods no matter what. You possess the immense potential humans of that age had, including the ability to use Magic from this age.
With everything going on, Aleister had decided to sleep first before summoning his new Servant first thing in the morning. Medea, walking with a slight limp, prepared the summoning circle.
Holding out his hand, the master started sending mana forward. In a burst of golden sparks, the new Servant appeared.
"I am-". Saber didn't even get to introduce herself properly, as she had taken a step forward... Only to trip on the fabric of Medea's dress, falling straight onto her face.
"...". Aleister stared, what... The fucking hell? Wasn't Lakshmibai a bloody lawful good Servant!? Was there even a point in keeping her around? Unlike Okita she wouldn't have flexible morals... At the same time, she held a genuine Divine Spirit within her body.
"F-forgive me! I seem to be suffering from bad luck. I am Saber, Lakshmibai! Are you my master?". Lakshmibai tried recovering some of her serious aura, but it was obvious at this point she'd failed.
The master signed, time to make a decision then.
Well, I decided to go with some more neutral or straight up good Servants since with knowledge of Shards, we can convince a lot more of them to be on our side. Although you could just kill her and add her mana to the Grail if you don't want to try that.
