————————————————————————————
With Fury working on finding out where Ulysses was and how I could get in contact with the man, I focused on other things, like leveling up doing dungeons and such, and also in advancing some of my other projects, like deciphering the super soldier serum, as I was now, my level in the art genetics was high, but not high enough to decode the formula from an amputated arm, but I was getting there, I just needed time, and eventually I would crack the code, a good part of being a gamer is that no skill is ever out of my reach.
As for my plan with Ulysses, well, I would steal from him, I knew the man had vibranium, according to my MCU knowledge, he had a dealing with a prince of Wakanda two years ago, meaning the bastard had vibranium, vibranium I would repossess, then after I had the Vibranium, well, I would see from there how to forge my armor.
As for where I was right now? Well, about to do a dungeon, I had found quite a few of my level and above on my never ending hunt of Hydra.
[The Forsaken LV 115-120
Enter = Yes/No]
I was level 116, so I was there within the level zone.
"Time to level up," I smiled, pressing the Yes button.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Two hours in the dungeon, I had discovered monsters of my level were relatively easy to kill, the dungeon in question was filled to the brim with undead beasts that had magic at their unholy disposal, nonetheless, even without using magic, destroying them was a relatively easy task, and one I seemed to particularly excel at, though, as Gamer, one always know the difficulty of the dungeon is not on the trash mobs, in on the dungeon boss.
[Ro'Thur LV 120 - General of The Forsaken]
I had yet to test my might against him, but from the get go, he was four levels ahead of me, and looked positively terrifying, he towered over me in size, and his mana was so big it could be felt without being close to him, and to top it all, his entire being emanated a type of miasma that looked particularly dangerous, at times like this I wished I had a dungeon guide.
"So you have finally come!" Ro'Thur's voice boomed around the cave he was in, grinning like a mad man at the sight of bloodshed.
Questioning how he had felt my presence, I took a step out of the shadows, "Hello," I waved at him, not used to dungeon creatures talking back to me.
"My king has demanded your head, human, and I shall deliver!" Ro'Thur declared, "For this is the last time to get in his way!" oh, so he's like a literal game boss, an AI perhaps, with role playing settings, neat.
"Shut up, you big bulk of EXP!" I chuckled, trying to see his response, but instead of saying anything, the undead general glared at me, and with a loud battlecry charged at me. Fortunately I had already foreseen such an event, and had been in a defensive stance, which allowed me the time I needed to parry the undead's first blow with a magic circle.
"Your insolence ends today, mortal!" The Undead General roared, throwing a few punches my way that I dodged by jumping back.
"Well, if we must roleplay," I grinned, pushing him back with my telekinesis, "Bow to your master, mongrel," ah, this was my dnd wet dream, well, without the chance of dying.
"Such hubris!" The Undead hissed, blocking two of my attacks as I used, [Savagery], before attempting to counter with a shadow bolt, which was basically a mana bolt, with extra effects, it drained your mana for the same amount of damage it dealt on you, however as the shadow bolt was about to reach me, I opened a portal in front of me to the dungeon's entrance, effectively nullifying his attack.
Smiling at the fact he was taking my attacks head on, I rushed at him, as I saw him exhale, fists tight to his waist. Seeing as he was taking me head on instead of using other tactics, I realized something, this would be the best opportunity to test [Savagery] to the fullest extent, a skill which made each hit stronger than the last. Opening a portal behind him, I jumped out delivering a horizontal kick that Undead blocked with a mana shield that shattered under the pressure. The unexpected mana shield threw me off balance for a second, and for the looks of it, the general intended to milk this opportunity.
Blasting me with a [Great Shadow Bolt], I was thrown against the wall, quite literally, as he advanced forward trying to deliver a [Shadow Strike] two attacks I hadn't seen in this dungeon so far until now, unlike [Shadow Bolt] which was a common spell on the dungeon, taking a deep breath, I looked at him, and using my telekinesis, I pushed myself into the air, throwing a few boulders at the Undead in the process, boulders he tried to dodge, but as he did so, I took the opening he himself had so gracefully given me dodging my attacks with a smile, a smiled that was followed by a barrage of powerful fists, stacking [Savagery] with each one, making each attack more devastating than the last.
As things were, it was clear the Undead was quickly becoming overwhelmed by the sheer raw force of my attacks, and had begun to take great damage under the relentless onslaught of incoming blows.
"I should've done this with Bucky," I said, pressing the Undead more and more, [Savagery] was truly a broken skill if you had the chance to use it.
"I won't be defeated by a mere human!" The Undead general roared, pushing me back with a strange energy that came off him. Effectively breaking my chain of attacks, making me lose my x53 stacks of [Savagery]
"This must be the critical phase each boss in every single game has," I whistled in appreciation.
"Come forth! Forsaken! Serve your King and aid this general to eliminate this human!" The Undead General roared once again, summoning an army of undead creatures.
No stacks, and the boss had summoned an army of monsters, it's almost like he wants me to stack my way to a One Punch Man scenario.
"Come at me!" I waved at the Undead, rushing at them, attacking them, stacking my [Savagery], eventually killing each and every single one of them with a single punch, I felt like Saitama, but without the baldness, each hit, giving me a new stack, by the point I reached the Boss again it had been a few minutes, the boss had been, quiet, charging something, but it didn't matter, for now I had over x300 stacks.
"You gave me enough time to---" he never got to finish his sentence, for my next punch exploded his entire being into a messy work of art.
"I gave you enough time to do what?" I asked, trying to be funny. I wonder why though, I am alone in a world only I can access, is there really a need to say funny one liners?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After finishing a few more dungeons in the east side of new york, with little to no difficulty stacking a few interesting items in the process, I went back home to spend some bonding time with Emily, where I got a message from Fury saying he had found the information I had previously requested.
According to the information Fury had found, Ulysses would be in a black market convention in the coast of Watamu Kenya, a very private convection according to the files, one that very few people knew about, fortunately for me, S.H.I.E.L.D was one of those selected individuals that knew about the convection, all thanks to their spies within the black market community.
Grinning, I memorized the location of the convention and date from the files. According to them, the convention would take place two weeks from now, meaning I had two weeks to plan how I would steal Ulysses from all of the Vibranium he had in store.
"I wonder, will me getting all of that Vibranium fuck Vision's body?" I hummed.
I suppose, in the end I really don't care if Vision gets his body, he did nothing with it, at all, Thanos clapped his metallic cheeks, and so did everyone in Infinity War.
Anyway, once I had the Vibranium in my possession, all I would need would be to find a way to acquire some Adamantium, by obviously no legal means, all I knew about it's creation was that a very very very small part of the government had the recipe in a very very secret place, as it was one of their greatest discoveries, too bad I planned to steal it, I wonder if Fury would want to help me out.
Though, even if Fury didn't help, I knew that eventually given enough time, I would acquire the formula.
"Dad, look! A transmuted cookie!" I turned around to see Emily with a burt cookie on her hands, how the fuck do you transmute something magically and it comes burned.
"Looks… tasty," I smiled, hoping she would not ask me to eat it.
"Please don't lie to me, I am seven, not five, I know it's more coal than cookie, but still, I am improving, right?" Emily smiled, as wide as possible.
"Yeah, you are," I nodded with a chuckle.
"Well I am off to try and transmute an edible cookie! Wish me luck!" Emily said, running out of my room.
She's always doing something nowadays. I'm proud of her, by the time Strange comes here, she will probably be a powerful sorceress of her own right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks later, and I was in Watamu Kenya using a clever disguise, that was no disguise at all, though I was wearing sunglasses, and a hat, but not to hide my appearance, it was all a fashion choice of Emily, she bought the hat and the glasses with the allowance I had given her.
As for the convention, I had yet to see Ulysses in the area, but even without him I had seen a few interesting items, heck there was a guy selling an old nuclear bomb, though according to Fury that nuke would never leave Africa.
But even without the nuke, well, there was very interesting collection of weapon, so I was keeping myself entertained until Ulysses appeared, after all, with Vibranium and in the future Adamantium, any weapon from here was useless, an outdated piece of gear that whilst interesting, would serve no purpose.
"See anything you like?" [Abayomi Kr'pk LV 29] The man in question had caught me watching some of his merchandise.
"Hmm," I hummed, looking over his collection of assault rifles, "I like some of them, especially the vintage AK-47, it brings me back to the old days," I grinned.
"Yes, it does the same to me," Abayomi smiled, handing me one of the vintage's AK-47, "It old, but effective, and at the end of the day, isn't that what we all look for? Effectiveness, these babies will kill your enemies, on the right hands of course, for the right price."
He was a good seller, I had to admit I was almost considering buying some weapons, but for now, I needed to keep a low profile, didn't want to scare Ulysses out of the convention before he even arrived, "I'll come back after I finish some businesses with a partner of mine," I lied.
"I'll be waiting for you, sir," Abayomi bowed, as I left his stand.
With a smile, I continued walking until the man of the hour, the one and only appeared, [Ulysses Klaus - The Arms Dealer - LV 35], inwardly grinning at the sight of him, I moved towards the man, looking at his bodyguards, [Roberto Jimenez LV 29], [Abdul Amesh - LV 27].
"Ulysses Klaus, the man I was looking for," I greeted, as the black arms dealer in question turned to look at me with a mix of confusion and recognition, something didn't feel right, so for now, I would move with caution.
"I seem to be at a disadvantage here, Mr?" Ulysses greeted.
"Albert, Albert Wesker," I replied.
"Well, Mr. Wesker, what can little old me do for you?" Ulysses grinned, a mad grin, something to be expected from a mad man.
"Well, this is a… delicate conversation, of a delicate amount of money and merchandise, so, how about we have this discussion in private?" I had no idea how these arms dealing businesses were made, Hydra never covered that, but, from what Fury told me, the big fishes liked the privacy, and he was the biggest fish here.
"I see, well, I would be honored to hear your mysterious proposition," Ulysses smiled, "But before that, you don't mind if my guys search you for weapons or mics, right?"
"Go ahead," I smiled, giving his two bodyguards the greenlight, as if I needed weapons to crush them. With the strength I had right now, I could probably pull a Gregor Clegane on their asses.
"He's clean," Roberto said, after palping my body, while Abdul used an electric device to scan me.
"He has no electronics on him, he's clean boss," Abdul nodded.
"Well, now let's talk business," Ulysses smiled.
"Let's," I nodded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I followed Ulysses to his base, already wondering what the man was playing at, he knew me, his eyes sparkled with recognition, meaning he knew I was lying about my name, the question is, what does he win with this? The only plausible thing I can think of is that he allied himself with Hydra, as in Hydra paid him a buttload of money to deal with me, other than that, I had no idea.
Perhaps he simply knew who I was, and what I had done, and simply decided not to piss me off, I mean, it would be wise of him, or perhaps I was imagining shit, I mean, the guy was clearly related to the Joker.
As I pondered over what Ulysses wanted, and how I would steal his Vibranium, the answer to the first question came, as a few red dots in my minimap appeared, using [Sight], I confirmed my suspicions, Ulysses was indeed working with Hydra.
Taking a deep breath, I searched all the rooms in his base looking for the Vibranium with [Sight], finding the material on the last floor of his room. At this I grinned, he was not driving me into a trap, but to my prize.
"I have a question," I said, looking at Ulysses.
"And that question is?" Ulysses inquired, offering me a candy.
"How much did they pay you to try and capture me?" I asked.
Much to my surprise, instead of reacting in a shocked matter, Ulysses laughed, "A shit ton of money,"
"I respect your honesty," I smiled.
"Well, you already know," Ulysses shrugged, "So what now?" as he said that his two bodyguards pointed their weapons at me, at this Ulysses laughed, "Guys, I appreciate the effort, but that shit ain't gonna work on him," he then turned to look at me, "It ain't right?"
"Not anymore," I nodded.
"Good, just confirming," Ulysses nodded, looking at his bodyguards which made them lower their guns, chuckling, he turned to look at me, and asked once again, "So now what?"
"I go into the trap," I smiled.
"Haha!" Ulysses cackled, "I knew there was a reason I liked ya, you are as crazy as me,"
