章 31: An upgrade...
(POV Cyrus)
After I was teleported back I set up the base camp once more and started preparations to cook some breakfast for me and my tames.
"Hmm, Lyra do enchantment books from Minecraft or anything similar exist?" I asked as I trimmed the scales some fish on a long ice table that contained a lot of cooking utensils and ingredients.
<Yeah there are a few hundred different Minecraft enchantments to choose from, this is real life so of course there would be a lot more to choose from.>
"What about the price ranges?" I say excitedly as I carefully took the bones out along with the guts of the fish.
<Because it is relativity easy to create these books the cheapest which are usually simple enchantments like unbreaking and sharpness cost 10000 Sp while the best and more complex cost around 70000 Sp to 100000 Sp.>
"This is good news!" I say happily as I chopped the fish along with some vegetables and crab.
"Oh, and Lyra can you post a commission for me?" I say as I bring a frying pan out of the inventory and place it above the unlit fireplace.
<Sure just give me the details!>
"I want some of the Namielle carves to be turned into armor and weapons for Noir, by the way, can you make it so that the commission is only accessible to sentries capable of creating it and not some clueless fool." I say as I pour some oil into it along with garlic and ginger.
<Alright what about payment?>
"3000000…No 4000000 Sp…" I placed some onions and chilies in the simmering oil.
<Done and dusted! By the way, what are you making?>
"Just a simple seafood stir fry with crab gravy. Was my little brother's favorite meal, he had one heck of a spice tolerance." I said with a sad smile.
<…Are you okay?> Lyra said in a concerned tone.
"…" I stayed silent as I continued cooking.
<A lot has happened in the past week, from you dying with your brother, and fighting monsters, and from what I can tell you used to be a soldier and PTSD may be resurfacing with how you sometimes hesitated to pick up your weapon.> She expressed her concern.
<…Most of my hosts succumbed to insanity and death cause they didn't have someone to lean on… more precisely they pushed them away. If something is wrong, if your overwhelmed, tired, depressed please open up to me, Darius, Noir, Dwayne, hell maybe even the new girl it's not healthy to keep it to yourself Cyrus…>
"…*Sigh* I was overwhelmed, scared a bit, and even repressed some emotions in the beginning. But with everyone keeping me company I'm getting used to the life of a sentry a bit easier and the trauma is fading with every battle… You have nothing to worry about and thanks for the concern Lyra." I say as I put the pan away and replaced it with another to cook the gravy.
(Is this what they call a mother's love? It… feels nice…) My eyes slightly watered before I wiped them away.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH FFUUUCCCCKKK MY EYES!" I shouted as I forgot there was chili and onion residue on my hands.
<Pfh-hahaha!> Lyra laughed.

After I finished cooking breakfast and ate it with my tames I decided to start training.
I stood rooted in place along with the duo the only difference I was swinging my sword and Dwayne was shooting ranged moves at an Odogaron armor suited Noir parried it all with a jagras sword and shield.
{Image}
<Dwayne used 'Geo storm-1.4'>
Hundreds of rocks ranging from 3 inch basalt to fist sized sandstone popped into existence and orbited Dwayne before he launched them at the slime one at a time.
<Dwayne used 'Rock blast-3.8'>
Noir then sidestepped before he slashed with the short sword cutting a large rock in half before he put up his shield to guard from a barrage of stone.
<Noir used 'Slash-2.6'>
<Noir learned 'Quick guard-1'>
"Stop!" I shouted as I pocketed techno's blade away and made my way towards the two.
"You two did amazing and learned so much in this session! I'm so proud of you two!" I crouched down and petted Dwayne and the normal Noir.
^Thank you master…^ Noir said shyly.
^Thanks Geo! Noir lighten up geo! You did well today be proud Brother!^ The geodude heavily patted Noir on the back.
"Noir what have I told you to call me Cyrus, dad, boss, whatever you like no need to call me master. It makes me feel weird…" I sighed as I shivered slightly at the prospect of being called master.
^Ok…dad…^ Noir said in an embarrassed tone as he shrunk down to the size of a large grape and hid under a rock.
"Hahaha Noir don't be embarrassed about that I like it when you call me dad!" I say as Dwayne unearthed the rock and placed Noir on top of his head.
^Boss is right geo! He is already our father so no need to be reluctant to call him your dad geo.^ Dwayne said with a toothy smile as he gently petted the micro slime.
(Cute…) I thought as Noir purred.
<Well ain't this a cute picture~> Lyra teased as I heard a small click.
"*Sigh* You two deserve a break you've been at it for an hour so take this time to rest or whatever you want." I say as I make my way to the camp and sit down on a large flat rock with the eggs next to me.
"Did you complete the task I gave you?" I asked Lyra as I watched the duo play with a smile on my face.
<Yep I've compiled a list of enchantments, minerals, ores, crystals, and hides just as you asked!> Lyra said enthusiastically.
"What about the vibranium and San Devistan? Was there any on sale?" I asked as multiple tabs opened before.
<Yep found some vibranium but sadly no San Devistan…>
"I see that is unfortunate… what about the price of the metal?" I said in anticipation.
<600000 Sp for kilogram.>
"Buy 5 Kilos!" I immediately said worried that someone already bought the entire stock.
<Done!>
"Good now time to buy some upgrades!" I said as I inspected and bought various items from the compilation Lyra gave me for the next 10 minutes.
"Hey, Lyra can you explain how to make Neo malware absorb materials?" I asked curiously as I removed my armor
A tab opened up in front of me displaying Neo malware along with my inventory.
<Just tap a material and press the area you want it to be absorbed in.> She explained.
"Okay, then time to get to work!" I say as begin thinking.
(Hmm well since we are going to the rotten vile Girros hide should be able to be used as a filtration system against poison of all forms… maybe even against effluvium since it's so abundant there.) I thought as I absorbed some of the emperor Girros hide all over the suit with it being more concentrated on my face.
"Hmm, maybe I'll add some ores and metal before I add anything more to the suit… maybe even Sorbothane... " I added various metals and minerals along with the shock absorbent material to the armor.
{Fun fact! For those who don't know what Sorbothane is it is the world's most shock absorbent and resistant material on earth, able to absorb 94.7% of impact shock! The more you know and If you learned something new hand over your power stones if you know what's good for you! *Cocks gun*}
<Maybe try adding the vibranium to the boots and gauntlets? It absorbs and releases kinetic energy so every time you walk or punch you can release it from your feet to boost yourself forward or to dodge and you use it on your gauntlets to knock enemies away.>
"True… I'll concentrate it on those parts and add a thin layer everywhere else…" I said as I added a vibranium Sorbothane mixture to the suit.
<Hey you still got the Namielle carves aren't you going to add it in?>
"Not yet I got an idea I want to- actually it might be a good idea to add it in first…" I then added the hide on the inside of the suit with a mixture of silver, gold, copper, steel, and aluminum over on the outside.
<What the hell are you doing Cyrus?>
"Well since electricity is one of my main weaknesses I decided that if I used this mixture of conductive metals I could redirect the electricity away or back at the enemy and with the Namielle hide underneath I don't suffer any loss of defense and I get immunity to the electricity I redirect!" I explained my plan with excitement.
<Smart idea but add a layer of pure silver above the mixture in hexagonal lines for maximum efficiency and if you buy the electro storage enchantment you can store the electricity for later.> She added onto my idea.
"Hmm let's move on to enchants since we are done with materials to add…" I opened the inventory and took out neo malware along with a few glowing books.
"How do I enchant it?" I asked as I opened the book only to see strange constantly changing symbols and glyphs.
<First you place it on the object you want to enchant then you have to say the name of the equipment and then say the name of the enchant.> She explained.
"Okay then, Neo malware…Thermal regulator-4…?" After I said the phrase the book disappeared into particles that spread over the armor.
"Huh that easy… Welp time to start this magic bullshitery!" I said as I separated the gauntlets from the armor.
"Neo malware gauntlet… Sharpness-5…" The book once again repeated the action of its predecessor and after the process was completed the claws of the gauntlet had a more pronounced edge.
"Neo malware gauntlet… Knockback-3…"
"Neo malware… Blast protection-4…"
"Neo malware… projectile protection-3…"
"Neo malware… Chains-4"
{User summons Chains from wherever the user wants from the armor using mana. These chains can vary in size and thickness depending on the users wishes.}
"Neo malware… Pressure resistance-5…"
{Gives resistance to pressure whether physical or water}
"Neo malware… Elemental protection-5…"
{Weakened fire protection but for all elements}
"Neo malware… Protection-5…"
"Neo malware boots… feather falling-4…"
"Neo malware… Aqua affinty-4…"
"Neo malware… Oxygen converter-3…"
{Converts surrounding water into breathable air}
"Neo malware… Electro storage-6…"
{Stores electricity and the item becomes a lightning rod}
"Techno's blade… Sharpness-5…"
"Techno's blade… Unbreaking-4…"
"Techno's blade… Iced edge-5…"
{At command makes the blade freeze}
"Techno's blade… Liquid blade-2…"
{At command water is secreted from the blade}
"Techno's blade… Loyalty-1…"
"Drago cyberiem… Liquid blade-2…"
"Draco cyberiem… loyalty-1…"
"Drago cyberiem… Sharpness-5…"
"Drago cyberiem… Seeker-3…"
{weapon hones in on the target of the user as long as target is in sight}
"Mana guns… Elemental shot-4…"
{Fires concentrated projectiles of an element the user has an affinity to}
"Mana guns… Zap shot-3…"
{Fires a concentrated projectile of electricity}
"Mana guns… Multi-shot-4…"
"Mana guns… Piercing-3 …"
"Neo knives… Sharpness-5…"
"Neo knives… Fire aspect-5…"
"Neo knives… Seeker-3…"
"Neo knives… Mana thread-2…"
{At command phantom threads of mana are connected to the user's hand and the weapon}
"Man, my throat feels like shit…" I say as I massaged it.
<I mean you did continuously commentate the auction so it's to be expected.>
"Can you hand me a potion?" I hoarsely said before a potion dropped on my hand.
"Ah, that's the stuff…" I said as I felt the effect of the potion work its magic.
<Oh and by the way the commission was accepted! He said it'll be done in about 5 hours give or take…> Lyra said.
"This day keeps getting better and better!" I said happily as I walked towards the two and read the new stats of my equipment.

"Hey, Dwayne I going to cook lunch now so I thought that I'd teach a thing or two about it if you're interested." I said to the duo who were playing tag.
^Okay geo! When we start?^ The little geodude said excitedly.
^Um… Can I join?^ Noir asked timidly.
I happily smiled as I replied "Of course you can the more the merrier!".

(POV unknown)
A brutal giant strolled through its domain in the valley of rot and decay, its aura of a savage beast oozed out without remorse for any prey.
Its wings brushed passed stone and bone crumbling them at the faintest touch.
It gazed bored at the giant corpse of an elder coiled around the valley its tooth rivaling its size.
*YYYYYAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHAAAAA*
A roar ensued and a young challenger on all fours and draped in red approached its lair with arrogance on its face adorned with red plates of scales.
The beast huffed with anger before it raised its head up to the sky.
The young fool stared with curiosity as the beast filled its lungs with pungent air of decay.
The beast brought its head back down and stared at the red dog with annoyance in its green eyes.
*GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAA*
The beasts roar metal grinding shook the very earth and now cowering foe to the core.
Before the red fool could even react the beast launched itself at him his jaw cleaving his head off in one go.
Before it feasted its foe, a savory aroma of something better danced througout the rotten air as it drooled.
It left the fool to rot in the mist of decay as it slowly crawled the valley tracking the aroma before it turned to a cave with a look of greed and gluttony.
{Can you guess who this creature is and who the trespasser is?}
