Otto POV
Unnamed Pocket Dimension
Kryptonian biology is fascinating and very strange at the same time. Their cells are denser and more efficient than those of any other known species. But what truly sets them apart is their ability to absorb and process solar radiation, which gives them incredible strength and resilience.
Unlike your normal everyday human, Kryptonians have enhanced physical abilities such as superhuman strength, speed, agility, and endurance. Their powers also include X-ray vision, super hearing, and heat vision.
Whoever works on Galatea who I suspect might be one Dr. Emil Hamilton is a genius. The female Kryptonian clones are an almost perfect replica of her originator, Supergirl. She possesses all the same powers and abilities, and her genetic makeup is practically identical. The only difference I am seeing analyzing the data from the advanced scanner from my lab is that she seems to be artificially aged to her prime compared to Supergirl's natural aging process.
"Whoa, dude this is very fascinating" A male voice pipes up beside me. I turned to the voice and see a small green hologram of a person floating beside me. It was my Smart AI assistant, Quintero. The UNSC AI looks like your stereotypical surfer dude with his blonde hair and sunglasses, making him stand out in my lab filled with high-tech equipment.
After my faithful meeting with Black Canary and Zatana, I was able to get to my holo table just in time to greet my new AI companion. At first, the AI looked to have a Monogender look to them but over the weekend and getting to know each other better, Quintero revealed themselves to be more fluid in their appearance.
(Galatea LV???)
Galatea was still sleeping in her stasis pod. Over the weekend after taking her out of my inventory, I still haven't let her out or even try to open the stasis pod. Because Galatea was a blank slate meaning there was no programmed personality or memories for her, I wasn't exactly sure how to approach introducing her to the world. And I don't want to deal with a fully grown Kryptonian with the mentality of a baby.
Well…I could implant her with knowledge and experience with my Telepathy. But I…still don't have enough experience or the know-how to do it perfectly. Over the week, I have been getting the feel and understanding of my new power, but it's still not enough to take on such a big task. I was not Martian Manhunter or even Jean Grey level yet. But I can feel with practice and time, I may be able to get to that level or even beyond. Galatea would have to wait for the time being. BUT there are many ways I could go about it.
One, I could buy something that helps with my Telepathy like a how-to book from the Infinite Shops of the System Forces that contain literally everything from across the multiverse but I might have to maybe spend a fortune for it. Two, I could search for a mentor or someone who has experience with Telepathy and could teach me how to do it properly.
Now…I don't want to get myself involved too much with the justice league or the other heroes just yet, I don't want to bring too much attention to me. And I definitely don't want to go to Charles Xavier in the Marvel Universe. The bald guy is too much of a control freak for my liking. Jean Grey was a victim of the guy's hubris and I don't want to end up like a half-lobotomized tool for his cause.
I sighed heavily, rubbing my temples. It was frustrating not being able to help Galatea properly. She deserved better than being trapped in that stasis pod. But I had to be patient and wait for the right moment. Looking at the clone floating inside the pod, the stunning and dare I say tempting blonde woman was naked and had a calm expression on her face. It almost seemed like she was in a peaceful slumber.
"Any progress on how to wake her up?" Quintero asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Not yet, but I have some ideas. I just need to do a bit more research and practice my Telepathy," I replied, still lost in thought.
"Got it, boss. You know, you should take a walk on the beach to clear your head. It might help you come up with some solutions," Quintero suggested.
I frowned at the AI. "I'm not really in the mood for a walk on the beach, Quintero."
"Come on, dude. It'll be good for you. Fresh air, sunshine, and some exercise. And who knows, maybe you'll meet some cute girls," Quintero said, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
I rolled my eyes. "I highly doubt there is anyone other than us in this dimension right now, but fine. I'll guess I take a walk on the beach."
"Awesome, dude. And don't worry I gonna keep an eye on Galatea while you're gone."
"Yea and also keep an eye on the outside world and inform me of any unusual event or noteworthy news," I added before making my way out of the lab.
"You got it, boss. Have fun!"
"You too Baywatch," I said sarcastically before leaving the lab and heading towards the beach.
I like Quintero, The UNSC AI is a Six-generation general-purpose smart AI, unlike Cortana which was created for a specific task, or even Isabel which was made to govern the Ark, Quintero had a more casual and laid-back approach to things, which I appreciate. He is a pretty damn capable and powerful AI with access to a wide array of information Either locally or multiverse and the best and special thing about Quintero is that I don't have to worry about the problem of rampancy.
Quintero was given to me by My sponsor who I suspect is an extremely Powerful Cosmic Entity, but I didn't question it too much. I have decided to stop questioning everything ever since I met My sponsor, it's just that the more questions I have the more I feel like I am going to lose my mind.
I am the type of guy who goes with the flow and adapts to any situation no matter how insane it is. This is probably one of the reasons why I got picked and selected into the S.A.S. in the first place. And I had a feeling that with time all of my questions will be answered eventually.
There are many things on my mind as I walk on the beach, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and calm wash over me. The sound of waves crashing against the shore, and the warmth of the sun on my skin, it was all very therapeutic. I have to thank my sponsor for providing me with this pocket dimension if I ever see her again. I walked for a while until I found a spot to sit down and think. I decided to open and look through my stats after nearly a week of not checking in on it.
——————————————
[STATS]
Level = 108
Exp = 3500/10700
HP = 43000/43000

(SOUL STATS)

I still haven't decided on how I should spend my skill points. There are many options and paths I could take, but I need to think carefully before making any decisions. Hmm…maybe I should go for a balanced approach, strengthening both my physical and soul stats at the same time. But my main goal right now is to figure out my class. It's been bugging me for a while now, but I still don't have any concrete answers.

——————————————
There are over fucking 80 classes I can choose from and with so many options, it's hard to decide. From a simple farmer or chef class to a scientist or even a summoned class that allowed me to summon a variety of minions or mythical animals to aid me in battle.
I have a feeling that my class would determine my overall build and playstyle. And with so many options, I need to choose carefully. Maybe I should research more about each class and their abilities before making a decision. But at the same time, I also have the option to switch out my classes every 24 hours, so perhaps I can try out a few and see which ones I enjoy the most.
I sighed, feeling overwhelmed with all the decisions I have to make. Managing all of these stats, skills, and classes is not easy, but I knew that to survive in this world, I needed to make the right choices. I decided to take a break from thinking about my stats and classes and just sit there, enjoying the scenery.
"ahem"
Then I heard a coughing behind me. I turn to the sound and see a figure standing behind me. It was an Asian woman, wearing black-and-white Japanese kimono. She had a neutral expression on her face as she looked at me. And I instantly know who that was.
"Madam," I greeted my sponsor. Speak of the devil and she appears, I guess.
"Captain Gallahan, it's good to see you again. How have you been settling in?" She asked, standing beside me.
"I've been doing fine, thank you. This pocket dimension you provided for me is amazing, I couldn't ask for more," I replied, trying to keep my tone respectful.
"That's good to hear. Tell me, how are you finding your new powers?" The woman said, turning to face me.
"I'm still getting used to them, but I have been practicing and starting to get the hang of things. Though, there are still some things I need to figure out," I admitted honestly.
"That's understandable. But don't worry, Captain Gallahan. You have a lot of potentials, and I have faith you will do well to get stronger…"
I nodded, feeling a sense of encouragement from her words. I didn't know much about my sponsor, but I could tell that she was powerful and knowledgeable.
"Thank you, Madam. But if I may ask, why did you choose me to be your avatar?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.
She smiled mysteriously. "Let's just say that I saw something special in you. Something that sets you apart from others."
I know that the System Forces choose its avatar carefully. The chosen avatar must possess certain qualities such as courage, determination, and a strong will to succeed. But there like billions if not trillions of those people across the multiverse, why was I chosen specifically?
"The System Forces was my pride and joy Captain. And I wanted to entrust it to someone who I knew could handle the responsibility. Someone who had the potential to become one of the strongest avatars in the Omniverse," she continued. "Someone who can help us in our finest hours and darkest moments."
I wasn't sure what she meant by "our finest hours and darkest moments" but that sounded way too ominous. But I didn't want to pry too much, knowing that my sponsor was a powerful entity and probably had her reasons for choosing me. Instead, I changed the subject.
"Madam, can I ask for your opinion on something?" I asked, feeling a bit nervous.
"Of course, Captain. What is it that's troubling you?"
"Please no need to call me Captain, just Otto is fine."
"Hmm…very well then Otto" The woman sends a smirk at me. "You may also call me by my name, Eon or Big E if you like to be hip.
I couldn't help but chortle at her casual way of speaking. "Eon, I have been trying to figure out how I am going to get stronger, it said in the System Forces that I could LV UP by defeating any powerful opponents or enemies. But I don't know where to start my LV UP journey. Do you have any suggestions or advice on how I can find worthy opponents to defeat?"
Eon nodded, contemplating my question. "There are many ways to find strong opponents, Otto. You could search for and challenge other powerful Villains or beings in the multiverse, Mission or Quest, participate in tournaments or competitions, or even explore dangerous and uncharted territories."
"Or you can look at the Power Ranking"
"Power Ranking?" I asked, intrigued.
"Yes, the Power Ranking. It's an LV ranking system that measures the strength of every sentient being in the multiverse. It's constantly updated and monitored by the System Forces. By checking the Power Ranking, you can see who the strongest and highest LV beings in the multiverse are and challenge them to a battle," Eon explained.
"That sounds interesting. How do I access the Power Ranking?" I inquired.
"It's simple. Just activate your [Stats] and think about 'Power Ranking.' The holographic interface will display the rankings for you," Eon replied.
"Alright, I'll give it a try. Thank you for your advice, Eon," I said, feeling grateful for her help.
"No problem, Otto. There is one more thing to note: The Power Ranking is currently locked at the DC universe preference meaning you have to be in the top 5 of the DC Universe to unlock the ranking for other universes. But don't worry, with your potential and the guidance of the System Forces, I do not doubt that you will reach the top ranks soon enough," Eon added.
"Thank you again, Madam. I appreciate your wisdom and guidance," I said, feeling more determined than ever to become stronger and reach the top of the Power Ranking.
Eon nodded, but before she turned to leave. "Oh, there is one more thing I need to tell you, and the whole reason I came to see you today."
I raised an eyebrow, curious. "What is it?"
"Your escape from Cadmus did not go unnoticed. Certain government officials have taken an interest in your sudden disappearance. You may know who "she" is."
"Waller," I said. Already anticipating the worst.
