Capítulo 2: Every power fantasy wet dream. I swear I can stop whenever I want.
Looking at my first point draw I can only say that it felt awesome.
Not only did I get two cool characters that I instantly started integrating, but I also got a strong technique like most breathing, that once it's put together with Afro.
I can imagine how cool it will be.
" oh right, the gacha gave me the panel to keep a tab of my drawn cards"

Looking at my collected cards I decided to instantly start integrating Koichi and Afro, and only after seeing what world I get to I will then learn mist breathing.
Looking at the digital screen on my front door I knew already what to do.

As I was thinking about which world to go to I couldn't help but ponder about the essences, as they are called, that Andrew originally chose.
First, there was the essence of the gacha, which was an obvious one knowing how much of a whale he was when it came to getting his favorite character in any gacha game he played.
The second was the essence of the merchant which I suppose was an alternate way to gain and improve one's power.
The third was the dungeon master one, and I didn't know why he chose it.
The fourth and fifth were the house essence and the developer's console, which I supposed were a more controlled way to choose which world to travel to.
Thinking about the last two, the essence of the blank and the essence of ROB insurance I started pondering.
The blank one was obvious since it could develop the other essences beyond their limitations.
And the ROB insurance protected you from higher entities screwing you over.
...
Oh F***.
Andrew is a fucking genius.
The essence of gacha and the essence of the merchant work as ways to gain power, and the essence of the dungeon master makes it a perfect training ground if needed and also a supply point since it can make anything.
The essence of the home and the essence of the developer console work as a way to travel anywhere, and with the essence of the ROB insurance, no random god or Eldrich abomination can force me into anything or do anything to me.
Everything coupled with the essence of the blank that with time can improve every essence, this set of essences is a weebs wet dream.
Thinking that I took this opportunity from Andrew made me slightly sad, he was my friend and I took his package just like that.
But then I remembered that this was not the first time that he used my information for a safety check, he literary uses my email as a secondary spam mail that he uses to register himself on unsafe sites.
Exactly because he used my mail as a secondary spam mail I once paid for a subscription to a P*** site in his place without even knowing that.
Looking at all he made me go through even in school, my guilt disappeared as the thought turned from me stealing this opportunity from him to this being the right payback for everything he did to me.
I won even lie that I feel any guilt, I know how selfish I could be sometimes, and this one was defiantly one of them.
I think that if I ever have a way to help or give something back to Andrew in the future, I definitely would, but for the fact that I took this from him.
I am proud to say.
I don't feel even a sliver of guilt or remorse.
Sorry Andrew, but as your friend, I will sacrifice myself for you and visit those anime worlds, and F*** those B******.
I pressed the world setting option, opening a second panel, with detailed instructions on how to choose the world I wanted to go to.
It didn't even take that much time as it only needed a name and time of arrival, with an optional section for description used as an additional filter.
Once finished, I was about to press the search button, when, with a little attention I noticed an arrow pointing downwards, I pressed it to see if there was more to it, only to find an additional section to the world setting panel.
[ -Random search ]
Oh, GOD!
The additional section was the incarnation of chaos.
There was nothing except for that button.
I could go with the safe route and go to my originally planned world, my hero academia, or try and see what this does.
I could ignore it.
No one is forcing me.
...
...
I can maybe take a peek and then leave, after all, I can always return to the house and choose another world.

Seeing what I did, I was slightly embarrassed by how the essence of gacha influenced the developer's panel, I 'totally' didn't know about a randomized function on the world choosing function.
After waiting some time, the panel attached to the door shut down, and the handle started glowing, indicating that I could go through.
Putting my hand on the handle I looked one last time at my home, I knew that I could always come back here by simply opening any door and thinking of this place, but I know that once I leave I will always think about returning here as soon as possible.
So to not just return here once I stumble into a problem there I gave myself a goal first.
Since the world travel function brings me across known and unknown worlds, I think as a first goal finding out if that world has a storyline or plotline is a good start, if it does then I should limit my return here only after the plot or story is finished, and if it doesn't have one at least stay in that world for a couple of years.
Opening the door a blinding light enveloped me as I passed through it making me feel dizzy and ultimately passing out.
~~ Barthomeloi residence ~~
" Ugh, my head " I don't know for how long I was out, I knew only that my head hurt like hell.
I didn't have time to think of anything else as the pain kept increasing, and memories appeared in my head.
Memories of me being a child and living inside a sort of castle with servants.
There was only a couple of years' worth of memories, but their contents were enough to think a decade's worth was contained in them.
Memories about study, etiquette, and some fancy noble bullshit like dancing and horse riding.
I was surprised a 5-year-old had experienced all this.
I looked at myself, the tiny hands and short legs.
I became a child it seems, and not an ordinary one at that.
To check my situation I could only think about the developer's console which, should have all the information about whatever universe I'm in.
[ -information
-editing
-personal information
]
I loaded up the panel and chose personal information first, to verify what happened to me.
[ name: Barthomeloi Lucas (Lucas Corbitt)
Magic circuits: quantity(65) quality(25) (higher due to blue blood)(inactive)
Elements: wind, earth, fire, water, ether (average one)
Origin: to be selected (home, chance, blank, architect, omnipotence, invulnerability, exchange)
Attribute: almighty
Other: none
Description: the second born of the noble Barthomeloi family, instructed since birth to uphold the noble name of his family...]
" Barthomeloi? Isn't that a Magus family in the Nasuverse?" this was a big problem.
How big? You ask. Extremely big!
Nasuverse is the physical manifestation of what could go wrong, may go wrong.
This world is filled with trouble and death.
The dead apostles are slightly buffed vampires that can bring on the destruction of the world, then there are the types that are fucking planets, and let's not talk about the beasts of humanity.
Not everything is yet lost, this could be the reality of the series, today's menu for the Emiya family, or the more tame version of the original fate named fate/kalei liner Prisma Illya.
Thinking of all this made me remember that today should be the day in which I have my magic circuits opened.
As I was lost in my thoughts a knock came from the door.
" master Barthomeloi, everything is ready " the voice of a woman came from the other side of the door, presumably one of the homunculi servants.
I was already wearing my formal attire, and opened the door, indicating the servant to guide me to where I needed to go.
It took a couple of minutes to navigate the enormous estate before arriving at the general hall, where I saw familiar faces from my memory.
An elderly man nearing his forties and a young woman in her twenties, the man is my father, while the woman is the current head of the Barthomeloi family, and lord of the department of policies, Barthomeloi Lorelei, someone whose attainments in magecraft nearly reach the level of true magic.
" so this is your child, Barthomeloi Astor "
" Indeed, I can assure you that he is a well-educated child worthy of carrying the Barthomeloi name "
The two barely exchanged words afterward as my father arrived in front of me taking my hand and coursing his magical energy into my magic circuits activating them.
I already knew from my memories that I needed to form a mental trigger to use my circuits in the future.
I pictured a lightning bolt striking a tree as my mental trigger.
The circuits in my body flared up glowing in a radiant blue color, bringing me a little discomfort.
" 65 circuits with the output reaching 25 units " my father commented as he took back his hand turning to open a box that was on the table nearby.
He then proceeded to use some sort of tarot card while asking me questions that seemed some sort of personality test.
" affinity for fire, wind, water, earth, and ether, an average one "Seeing him put away the cards I was wondering how he would test my origin.
As if reading my mind, he took out a sort of marble that seemed to have fog trapped inside.
" Now, you need to put your hand there, and we will test what origin you have "
Doing as he said I put my hand on the sphere looking intensely at the fog as the developer's console panel popped up.
[ determining origin, select from the following:
- home
- blank
- chance
- architect
- omnipotence
- invulnerability
- exchange
- random selection
]
F***, random again? I can choose the one that may benefit me the most like omnipotence and invulnerability, making me virtually undefeatable if I am to tap into my origins potential.
' presses random selection '
I swear I can stop whenever I want, I'm not lying.
The selection starts as I still couldn't see what the sphere was for.
[ chosen the origin: exchange ]
As the message popped up the sphere glowed a little, and my father, seeing this promptly took the sphere examination it with his circuits flaring up.
" origin determined to be Exchange "
With these words the other person present, Lorelei started talking.
" a great number of circuits coupled with all five elements, and an origin that is tied to Exchange " After saying this Lorelei stopped talking and looked at me narrowing her eyes, and beating her horsewhip on her gauntlet, making me feel a lot of tension.
" he can be regarded as worthy of being a barthomeloi, with the number and quality of circuits he has it would already be good to have one element, but with the fact of being an average one, and his origin that may have some correlation to the equivalent exchange of alchemy, he can be regarded as an excellent magus " the tension from before disappeared as I got the approval of one of the most feared people in the clock tower.
Without anything else, I saw her leaving me and my father alone.
" Now that you have your circuits open, you can start learning magecraft from our library, and make sure to study well and uphold the name of the Barthomeloi. Only when you reach a high enough proficiency in a type of magecraft will you be allowed to leave the estate, Understood? "
" yes, Father" With what I understood, I was locked here till I perfected at least one magecraft, and only then I can get myself to meddle in the plot that this world has.
I looked at the year through the developer's console.
The year is 1989 which tells me nothing on its own, but if this world is connected to fate/ stay night in any way, then in five years the events of fate/zero will happen.
I didn't want to take chances, so I instantly started the assimilation of both Koichi and Afro, just in case I will get myself involved in the fourth holy grail war.
" This won't be good, I have this feeling that I will be involved in some way or another "
