"Work work work!" In an office building in the Timo Business District of Yoder City Center, a newly-listed game review company just began their busy day at work.
In this enterprise, there were over two hundred game reviewers. But evidently, they were still short-handed. It was normal for them to work overtime mainly because the game market was too large. In this industry, the number of employees had already reached the millions, yet it seemed far from being saturated. Every year, there would still be a large number of graduates joining this industry.
Ever since the founding of the D-Planet Federation in the twenty-third century, artificial intelligence had begun to spread extensively throughout the globe. Most jobs that required human labor were filled. Hence, the tasks humanity could do gradually became lesser, resulting in large amounts of idle time. On the contrary, the entertainment business became increasingly developed, and the improvement of the gaming industry, as one of the important parts of the entertainment business, naturally saw rapid progress.
"[Storm Tribe], [Imperial Conqueror], [Spirit Sword Sealing Demons Record], [Yin Yang Master 28]…" In the office, Little Chen who had just entered the office began to open up the list of games that needed to be tested. He glanced at this list of huge IPs as envy shone in his eyes.
These games were all products of large companies and big productions that had immense numbers of advertisements since two years ago. The company he worked for could actually get so many high-caliber games for testing. It seemed like its connections and capabilities were extraordinary. But sadly, these had nothing to do with him.
As a newbie, these huge IPs would never be given to him to review and test. Only experienced veterans would be invited to conduct accurate evaluations and risk estimations for these games.
And as for newbies like him, the games they reviewed were usually privately designed.
Because artificial intelligence had developed greatly, the gaming platforms, templates, and frameworks were extremely mature. The basic costing wasn't high, leading to many private gaming enthusiasts who didn't have a lot of money to create virtual games using their creativity. But because they sorely lacked a game creation team and art designing team, the privately designed games could only attract audiences if they had elaborate creativity.
After the barrier of entry was lowered, private games flooded the market. For quality privately designed games, it was rare to find one even in ten thousand games. The majority of the games depended on selling scantily-clad female characters or the BL (boy's love) genre. But even so, for such games, a portion of gamers who stayed at home also wouldn't buy them. In this world, those who could afford to stay home and do nothing but play games wouldn't lack money either…
Little Chen scrolled the screen, searching for some game products that were of slightly higher quality. All of a sudden, he saw a black-colored metal icon.
"The logo isn't bad!" Little Chen felt a little more energetic when he saw the game icon of 'Star Ocean'. The logo had a metallic feel to it and from its title, it seemed to be a game of the sci-fi genre. But sci-fi couldn't accurately describe it. Many major gaming productions wouldn't dare to touch the sci-fi genre, let alone private game designers.
Most of the sci-fi games were hanging the heads of sheep while selling dog meat, falsely advertising their content. Either some hot babes would accompany you to travel the universe, or it would be a hack-and-slash game like [Legend] that was covered under the guise of 'science-fiction' where one would level up while killing space monsters. Warriors and mages in normal hack-and-slash games would have their titles changed to origin force soldiers. The dragon-slaying saber would change to forcesaber—everything was just blatant plagiarism covered by new names and titles.
It was unknown how many people were still playing [Legend], and how many more generations of people would still be cheated by such a method?
With a heart like he knew everything, Little Chen clicked into the game. It was still better for him to test a hack-and-slash game like [Legend] early in the morning than to test a bunch of similar privately designed games. After all, there were many past examples that he could draw references from.
 -----------------------------------------
"Welcome to [Star Ocean]. Come, sign the contract and become a subject under the authority of Overlord Xiye!"
A clear voice broke the dumb-founded look on Little Chen's face. He raised his head in a startled manner and stared at the unusually formidable-looking NPC. His entire person began to shiver.
"Damn. Is... is this really a privately designed game?"
"Isn't this model too realistic?"
Little Chen stared at the surroundings with disbelief etched on his face. The scene was a temporary military base fixed up with metal. Inside were all sorts of unknown instruments, robotic arms, and many pieces of equipment that he didn't recognize. He suddenly felt too excited to speak.
Right now, the highest-evaluated sci-fi game in the market was [Titan], created by the Rainstorm Company. [Titan]'s ID was sold at $8,800 federal dollars and was known as the most expensive game in the market. When he was still studying, he had to scrimp and save for three years before he could barely have enough money to buy an account. But the sense of reality projected by this game's design and the quality of the NPC model could basically trash [Titan]!
The details, the metallic feel, the NPC model, the lines of his face, the heaving rhythm of his muscles when he breathed in and out. The sense of reality was even more real when compared to sci-fi movies!
Could he really have encountered the 'legendary' divine work of the mortal world?
Little Chen involuntarily stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the NPC. But even before his hand came in contact, an imposing might suddenly gushed over. Little Chen couldn't react in time and fell onto the ground in fright. The sense of pain traveling up from his bum caused him to feel even more bewildered as he silently mused, "A 100% tactile feel? This game is too gusty!"
"You are not allowed to touch this overlord!"
"An all-intelligent NPC?" Little Chen drew in a deep breath. Right now, A.I. technology had matured, and so an all-intelligent NPC wasn't anything rare, but the personality of this NPC was pretty interesting.
After thinking about it, he didn't continue to antagonize the other party. This game had a 100% tactile feel. If he was somehow smacked to death by this NPC, that feeling would be extremely hard to bear. As he contemplated, he turned his gaze to a huge metal door at the side.
There was a window on the door. Through the window, he could see the scene outside the temporary base. It was filled with desolation, as the scarlet red ground had no greenery. This place should be built according to the scenes on Mars.
This would save some trouble in the creation process, but the details were extremely precise. The quality of the sand and gravel on the ground looked extremely real. The flowing effect of their physical interaction with the wind was also very good. There were no problems at all!
After thinking about it, he pushed his hand forward, wanting to open the door to see the outside world. But all of a sudden, he felt a shock current bouncing his hand back. Just when he was astonished, the NPC spoke, "Mortal, your current body can't survive on this planet. After signing the contract, this overlord will commence a biological modification for you. Once the number of people here reaches 500, this overlord will organize all of you into different teams to harvest resources outside to build your home base!" 
"Oh…" A look of sudden enlightenment flashed on Little Chen's face as he mused, "So it is still unavailable to the public!"
But after pondering, it should be the case. For a production of this quality, just the amount of work needed for the details of the different backgrounds and scenes alone would be enormous. Private designers naturally wouldn't have the ability to open up too many zones. After understanding this logic, he instantly knew that this was a semi-finished product!
Such semi-finished products weren't rare on the market. Many private designers had high standards, but they weren't able to finish the game due to a lack of funding. They would always first design an opening model to attract investors to fund their game.
When he thought of this, he immediately began to score the game professionally.
Game quality: Semi-finished.
Game scene performance: Five stars. Perfect details, excellent quality. Just from the scene alone, one can tell that this game will be one that can span across eras!
Game model: Five stars. Exquisite, detailed, fully exhibiting the talent of the art design team.
Game playability: Unknown. Temporarily unable to play. It is a game that's looking for investors.
Overall game evaluation: A semi-finished product that has very high potential. It has a very strong art design team. I believe that if there's a good game-planning team, this might be a product that can replace [Titan]. Investment risk: Three and a half stars. The reason being the content right now is too little; there's almost no content. This made me doubt if there might be completely no planning done for this game in the future. I suggest investors to ask the creator carefully first, or to hire a good planning team on their own terms!
After having a conclusion in his heart, Little Chen excitedly went to write his report. It was like finding gold in a shithole. This was already considered a good accomplishment.
But suddenly, he discovered that there was no menu popping up. He then glanced at the only intelligent NPC on the scene. "Might I ask how do I exit the game?"
This time around, the NPC didn't say anything at all. It expressionlessly pointed to a transmitter at the center of the base that resembled a transfer device in sci-fi movies.
The node exit system?
Little Chen was startled. Although it could make the game seem more real, it evidently was much more troublesome. In the currently fast-tempo entertainment game models, this wouldn't be liked. It seemed like this game truly lacked a good planning team.
After contemplating it, he didn't hesitate and entered the transfer device. After activating the menu, he chose the option to exit [Star Ocean]. He also took the opportunity to quickly hand up his report before anyone else discovered this game. He must not let credit for such an accomplishment escape him!
After that, a flash of light manifested, and Little Chen who was in the transfer device vanished completely. The NPC that had a look of arrogance on his face suddenly sat down after he saw that Little Chen had left. He removed his imposing metal helmet and revealed a handsome face!
"This overlord is so fatigued!" The NPC actually began to mumble to himself. "That silly fool finally left!" After that, he spoke to the air, "A.I., can we really get away with it by me acting like this?"
"Overlord, please rest your heart at ease!" An electronic voice rang out suddenly from within the base. "Overlord, you only need to wait patiently. Not long later, there would be an unending stream of subjects flowing in!"


Player: I'm a worker whose monthly salary doesn’t even hit $5,000. My monthly rental already takes up half of my salary, I don’t have a girlfriend and is reprimanded by my superior every day. However, I feel very happy because there has been a new virtual game recently. In the game, I have a powerful bloodline. Not only do I have my own fleet, I even have a powerful overlord that granted me a colonized planet. Although I know this is fake, but inside there, I found the meaning of my life!
Actually...the overlord who gave him the planet really wanted to tell him that this game wasn’t fake. (You really have your own fleet and colonized planet…) but the overlord knew that he couldn’t say this. Because, once he said it, these subjects who thought of themselves as ‘players’, would definitely not be as terrifyingly hardworking as now!!


Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

The room Jie created was huge. He led the other three down stairs and left the three girls outside. In front of them was an area as big as a soccer field. They were amazed by it. Jie said with pride, “I didn’t know that you can change the room, but after figuring it out, you just have to focus and imagine on where you want to change while holding the room’s handle outside. God will also amend any imperfection you have. Just like this training ground.”

This training ground was separated into a few areas. There’s a target practice field, a long distance running field, an obstacle running field, and a close combat platform.

“Starting today, everyday from 8am to 12pm, 1pm to 6pm, and 7pm to 12am. We will train non-stop. We won’t see any results on our body with just these few days so we will start with shooting and close combat. You will also have to run and test your limits. Once you know your limits you can plan ahead in the movies. Anyway, there is a lot of training we have to do.”

Jie gave everyone a description of the purposes of each training area. Long distance running and obstacle running was obvious. Close combat was necessary, shooting was an important factor in sci-fi movies. Everyone agreed to his plans.

Zheng asked, “What about guns? Do we go exchange them for training? Or are we using your desert eagle?”

“Didn’t I say you can create anything in your room? It’s just that you can’t take many of these things out of the room. Go take a look at that storehouse. I exchanged a magazine on guns, then created them according to the descriptions. You can also test the power of sci-fi weapons. Even though they are expensive, you should probably exchange for one when you have the points.”

Xiaoyi exclaimed then ran toward the target practice field. Lan sighed. “You probably can’t create magical weapons in this room, right?”

Jie nodded. “No. I kept trying but couldn’t create them. God probably put a restraint on this.”

Lan touched her forehead. “The most difficult movies are probably the supernatural ones. God wouldn’t let us get familiar with this type of weapon to increase their difficulty. Anyway, if I have the points I will probably only get one sci-fi weapon and spend the rest on magical weapons. That’s what I am planning.”

Zheng and Jie nodded. Especially Zheng, that 1500 points didn’t go to waste.

Jie spent the rest of the afternoon teaching them how to use guns. Of course, other than testing out sci-fi guns for fun, they put their focus on normal guns, especially on their shooting accuracy. Lan and Xiaoyi spent the whole time doing target practice.

Jie led Zheng to the combat platform. Jie only spent 100 points on his gun and the rest enhancing himself. He probably was also in the army back in the real world. He’s much more experienced than Zheng in close combat. It only took a while for him to knock down Zheng.

Jie shook his head. “Not enough. Your speed and strength are there but you can’t keep calm. You have much more strength than before so you can’t control the punches you throw. Learn how to control your speed and power the first few days. Then you will have to learn to use your abilities. We will depend on you for the next movie.”

Zheng nodded. He definitely felt he couldn’t control his strength, and he’s rather curious on his Qi. Was it as amazing as the novels described it? The punches he received from Jie could knock a normal person out, but it was only painful at first then he felt a warm sensation moving through his body and the pain dissipated.

The four of them had dinner at Jie’s room. Then Zheng brought Lori back. On the way back, he was still thinking of the training. He figured out the function of Qi. Other than lessening pain, when he spread it through his body, his speed and strength would double. That was the only time he beat Jie in combat. Jie couldn’t even do anything against that kind of power. But then he could barely move for ten minutes. Seemed like this could only be used in danger.

Zheng still hadn’t figured out how to use the blood energy yet. Since it’s on the same rank as Qi, it shouldn’t be too weak.

“Ahem!”

It woke Zheng up from his thoughts. Lori was standing in front of him with a red face. She seemed mad at him. “You’re walking with me and your mind is elsewhere. Are you regretting you didn’t create another beautiful woman when you saw those two women? I am just a teen, mature women are more attractive, is that what you’re thinking?”

He held onto her hands and smiled. “I am thinking about this afternoon’s training. I will tell you everything if you want to know. Be confident with yourself. You know there were almost a hundred guys trying to date you in school. And you know I’ve always liked you, how could I have think about someone else?”

She looked at him for a while, then smiled. “Then you will tell me in a bit how you spent these years. You just said you will tell me everything right?”

Zheng was startled then he forced a smile.


“Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?” The world changes when you click YES. In God’s dimension, you have to keep getting stronger, keep evolving to survive one horror movie after another. Do you kill everyone in your way to reach the end as a lone king? Or fight along with your comrades and survive through the support of friends? Everything was just for staying alive. Until you find the secret of God’s dimension. Who is the real enemy? 

"So you want me to do what?"

[Conqueror Mode is the best for right now as you will be taken into one of the worlds/universes inside Aeris and can freely develop there. What you are lacking right now is not cultivation base though it could be better it should be enough for now, but what you are lacking the most is more social activity.

You can battle against the monster and beast but never a human or those with this intelligence. These have no intelligence and their attack pattern is quite obvious, but if you fight against a human with how you are now you will lose.

To fix this you need to fight against people and understand politics better which conqueror mode will help also you can refine your skills inside the world since you have a lot of skills but have not refined them for you to use as max level means you can use the full potential not that you wield to it best power.

 The gifts that I was talking about before is that you get 1 free world in Conqueror Mode along with 3 free challenges inside this mode. I will give you a recommended list to for you to choose.]

"So what are the recommendations?"

[There are a total of 3 choices to choose from and they are 3 Imaginat Universe. There are 3 types are universes Primordus, Minorus, and Imaginat Universes. 

The primordus universe is universe either formed by Primordal Realm experts or naturally formed using Primordal Energy, these universes are not possible for Aeris to recreate for now at least. Regis is this type of universe.

Minoris are universe created by people below Primordal Realm or were naturally formed using any energy below Primordal. They are dived into 5 levels from lesser, lower, mid, higher, and supreme levels. Earth is lesser.

Imagine Universe are universe created on ideas of people like Anime's, games, and etc. Each time someone daydream a new universe is formed, but at another time so are destroyed too. They have categories like sci-fi, magic and swords, action, fantasy, eastern fantasy, and etc to find them or novels, games, and etc.  

The chooses are Elder Scrolls, Against the Gods, or Naruto. Now all of these are involve humans and politics to certain instants and why I choose them is because you know how the universe works and the gist of the timeline.]

"Naruto, there is no if, and, buts about it. There are several 'pontentail' in that workd. Plus I have a Naruto loot box so using in there will make it easier for me."

[Just so you know some of your powers will be sealed and you will be a child at 3-4 when you reincarnate, but you can design his bloodline and I will create a parallel universe so that you can start in. You can only keep one of your 3 bloodlines that you will be able to use in that world while you can have a total of 3 from that universe when your in it, but the deletion will be limited.]

"Can I still use my DP and loot box and packages?"

[Mostly No]

"Let me use my wish slips then I want to have at all of my dragon, Chaos Star God, and Incubus  bloodlines in Naruto and get to have more choices, I want to use my DP and loot boxes and Packages and be able to fuse."

[Alright you can have 5,000,000 of your DP transferred when you go to the world, you can have both of the 2 bloodlines you want but your dragon bloodline and star god will be sealed along with the skills until you unlock them gradually through missions, the loot boxes and packages can be brought to the universe but only the beginner pack and naruto loot box, and finally you can choose up to 7 bloodlines at the max along with some skills that will carry over too like shadow clone jutsu Thousand Cuts, Assassinate, whip skills, sword skills, and maybe a few other skills.

You will not have the Heaven style,  Falce has to stay out, the weapons you own, and your titles for jobs like blacksmith will be limited down to Transcendent Realm as Sword of Kusanagi is at Immortal level. This will cost you almost all of your wish tickets with only leaving you 3 left. Do you accept?]

"Yes"

Dreams are one of the pleasant things people enjoy the most as it contains their wildest imaginations where what they want can be fulfilled that many enjoy and look forward to, but not all dreams are good as they can be "harmful"too.

Hao Ren did not pay much attention to the term that appeared out of nowhere when he first heard of the 'Denizens of the Stars'. Even when he found clues about them in the ruins of the other civilisations, he still had not paid much attention to them. The universe was wide, and if a god-killing race could be born, the appearance of a couple of powerful and advance civilisationsis no surprise to anyone. The Denizens of the Stars had ran out and about trying to save those that were threatened by the apocalypse, and this was something any race with sufficient capability and heart could accomplish.
But when the Denizens of the Stars were linked with the holy relics of the Goddess of Creation, Hao Ren realised that these mysterious beings were even more special than he had initially thought.
They were not just special in their technological capabilities, they were special in their relationship with the Goddess.
"The Eternals is the collective name of a few particularly ancient and mysterious races." Muru sat cross-legged, his voice thundering. "Long before our Mother started creating life, there were ancient lifeforms in the universe, and we call these races before the birth of the Goddess of Creation, the Eternals."
"The Goddess of Creation did not actually 'create' a new world' didn't she?" Lily asked as she strained her neck looking upwards.
"Yes, the universe already there even before Mother was born. Mother was just the first of Gods to create a large number of lives, but she was not the originator." Muru nodded. "So us guardians had used the era which a race was born, and how their birth came about to categorise them. Those who were around before the birth of the Goddess were all called the Eternals. The races that were created by the Goddess were call the 'Godmolded." while those born naturally after the birth of the Goddess were called the 'Naturalborn'."
"Yes, the Goddess of Creation is a unique entity, and in this universe only She alone is without a race." Hao Ren nodded. "So tell me more about these Eternals. Are these ancient race powerful?"
In Hao Ren's impression, ancient races are usually interlinked with strength, and the more ancient a thing, the stronger they are. Example being, old ginger, aged vinegar, aged wine, and a ten thousand year old old bat. So any races that were around before the birth of the Goddess of Creation can have the name applied to them. In any cases, even the title alone is probably some legendary orange title...
But Lemendusa shook his head. "No, not necessarily. The Eternals are just races that have existed far longer. Of course, any race given time will be powerful but this is not absolute. Some Eternals till now still sow the fields for a living, and some Eternals who had lived for centuries were suddenly wiped out by a flu. The universe encompasses everything, and nothing is final."
Hao Ren was stunned, and murmured to himself why reality did not match what those sci-fi novels had said. Didn't the books said that if something lived long enough, even a radix would gain sentience?
Scratching his hair, Hao Ren continued. "So, lets forget about those silly Eternals. What do you know about these Denizens of the Stars?"
Muru frowned, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, the very first. "They are probably th most secretive of the Eternals, and if I'm not wrong, they are probably one of the stronger ones. These beings are very, very ancient, and it is possible that they are the primeval beings of this universe. They were already around when Mother had tried to create the first batch of living beings. But by the age when us guardians were born, the 'Denizens of the Stars' had rarely appeared any more. They have a very unique mindset and worldview, and they avoid contact with other races. They stay away from the material world, and neither do they build colonies or expand their territory and aside from some occasional wandering across the stars there were no visible activities from them. I've only saw mentions about them from ancient observation records, and I've only met them a few times at the border."
"You've met on before?" Lily's ears perked up. "What did you say?"
"There was no conversation per se." Muru shrugged with a slightly awkward expression. "A small group of the Denizens of the Stars had visited a local planetm but they had stayed there for a long while, almost like they were sun-bathing. So I went up to speak with them and they..."
Muru frowned hard as he tried to phrase the sentence in his mind, and after while he finally figured out a way to express himself. "They shot out a series of rapid flashes, and even after hundred and further years of studies later I still could not decipher what they were trying to say."
Hao Ren pondered for a bit. "It probably did not mean anything aty all, you had simply scared the lights out of them..."
"All in all, the Denizens of the Stars' are just a very peculiar race." Muru rubbed his chin. "Energy-based lifeform are all like this, because of their unique lifeform, they are distant towards most races. Even the guardians have not paid any attention to us, and neither them to us."
Vivian then asked. "Is the Denizens of the Stars close with the Goddess?"
"I suppose not." Heve shook her head. "The Denizens of the Stars seemed to be dormant, at least after our birth, their appearance were few and far between. While they may pop up once in a while in the holy kingdom, there is no possiblity of a deep conversation with Mother."
"When were you guardians born?" Hao Ren asked, his curiosity tingled. "I mean how long did it take for the Goddess to create you guys after her birth?"
"Very long," Lemendusa answered. "Mother used many years to research on how to create life, and researching the lifeblood on the Star of Creation itself took her almost a million years. She then had created some failed 'seeds', and that too took another hundred thounsand years. Only after that did she start creating matured giants and the Seed of Origins."
"Before that, were the Denizens of the Stars active?"
"Yes, much more." Lemendusa nodded slightly. "I heard from other Eternals about them, they were very active before but once the guardians were born, they simply just vanished. You seem to think that these 'Denizens of the Stars' have something to do with Mother?"
"Did you know how the third gilded disc came about?" Hao Ren asked, with Lemendusa shaking his head.
"The Denizens of the Stars gave this holy relic to a mortal race as a protective ward." Hao Ren pointed towards the third disc. "That race had eluded the pursuit of the guardians for ten thousand years thanks to that."
The three giants were immediately stunned.
"So the Denizens of the Stars must have some sort of connection with the Goddess, but that's probaby long before you guardians were born." Hao Ren rubbed his chin in thought. "And after a period they simply just vanished, and only to reappear after the fall of the Goddess, and were running about trying to salvage things... Don't you find this weird? Also, did no one actually gotten around finding their homeworld? Even as secretive as they are, they should have a place to call home right?"
The three guardians looked at each other, and Muru had an awkward expression on his face. "We had never paid attention to them. They were a race whose existance was almost indistinct, they never colonise nor expand their territory neither were they hostile to anyone.. so..."
"Alright, alright. I get it. You lot pretty much took them as somesort of natural phenomenon and completely ignored them," Hao Ren shrugged.
"Actually, beside us there were other race who had tried to search for the homeworld of the Denizens of the Stars." Lemendusa suddenly brought up something not know before. "There was a race whose psychic powers were highly developed. They lived by the holy kingdom and worshipped a mysterious 'Truth of the Stars', they think that the resonance of the soul and the universe is the path to the ultimate truth, and worshipped energy beings as gods sent by the will of the universe. They had tried to track down the homeworld of the Denizens of the Stars, but every expedition that they sent out ended up lost mysteriously, and they gave up after a while."
"Lost mysteriously?" Hao Ren immediately pounced with a question. "Have they found anything? Any fortunate survivors?"
"Those that were lost were never heard from again. No one knew of their fate, and those who came back only left a word: The edge of the stars is covered with the sound of darkness." Lemendusa then shook his head. "I was not an investigator that was in touch with the mortal races, so that's about the extent I know."
"The edge of the stars is covered with the sound of darkness...." Hao Ren pondered the particularly odd sentence. "Don't tell me the Denizens of the Stars lived in a blackhole... Heh, I think that race that tried to search for them probably ran into a catastrophe of sorts and there's no one alive to tell any tales."


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

After hearing what Teacher Wang said, Hong Dali rubbed his chin and said, "This… How about this? You stand in as the Principal first. That should not be a problem, right? If you feel like it, you can announce the time, or you can just take a nap in the communications room. Do whatever you feel like doing. You are single with no dependents, so it doesn't matter where you stay, right?"
Teacher Wang gave it some careful thought. "That's true. Let's do it this way, then. I'll put my old self on the line and temporarily stand in as the Principal. Keke, Young Master Dali is a good man, you will definitely have good fortune."
Are you giving me the good guy card?
Regardless, the New Lanxiang Vocational School had a responsible and good Principal now. Hong Dali was satisfied with the appointment. He snapped his fingers and said, "Come, let's go take a look. Come to think of it, I have not taken a look at the school since construction started."
It was a procession with a group of people, a few cars, followed by Big Turtle the Black Tortoise and ending with more than a hundred security officers. They made for quite a majestic sight on the way, much like a Head of State surveying his country. Soon, they reached the location of the school.
Hong Weiguo found a rather good location for the New Lanxiang Vocational School that Hong Dali wanted to build. It had the outer area of Tianjing Mountain at its rear and covered a land area of tens of thousands square meters. The workers worked fervently and had already completed a few of the main buildings. The place was growing in size. The outer circumference was made of a very long wall, with canteens and dormitories further in.
To be honest, Hong Dali's father had been more than generous. This school was about as grand as Tianjing College where Hong Dali was currently studying. However, Hong Dali still felt that it was not enough.
It was his own land, after all, why should he not build it as majestic as he wanted?
Hong Dali stretched out his hand and touched his chin. He asked Ling Xiaoyi, "Xiaoyi, how much have we spent on this school to date?"
Ling Xiaoyi replied, "Young Master, we have only got the foundations and the basic structures of the various buildings ready. It's just the teaching building that's progressing quicker than the rest. To date, we have spent about four million yuan. We spent around 800,000 on the surrounding wall and have not actually started on the rest yet.
In actual fact, the most expensive things in building construction were firstly the land, and secondly the interior. The building itself was not that costly.
If it were a normal person, the most important thing would be to conserve capital. Hong Dali, however, possessed the Great Prodigal System, and saving on capital was the last thing he wanted to do. He still had a Main Mission to complete. If he failed, it would mean ten points off his sexual capability. That would be terrible. Heaven knew if it would still increase after it got taken off. Hong Dali shook his head decisively and said, "Not enough, it's still not enough!"
Tang Muxin, who still had the kitten in her arms, asked curiously, "Err. Dali, what is still not enough? This place is already not bad. Our Tianjing College is only about this size, this is still not enough?"
Hong Dali continued shaking his head. "Not enough, it's still not enough! This is our own school. How can it only be of this size? Xiaoyi, ask everyone to stop work first, we need to rebuild. Right, bring me the building plans as well, I need to take a good look at them."
Upon hearing what Hong Dali said, Teacher Wang twisted his body and asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master Dali, Don't tell me you intend to demolish and rebuild the entire school? That would waste a lot of money…"
Hong Dali scratched his head and said, "Yes. If I want to do it, it must be the best. I've even got the advertisement slogan for New Lanxiang ready. Learning how to flirt… Ah no. Learning technical skills, come to New Lanxiang. Eight thousand stainless steel beds, three thousand skilled female juniors!"
Teacher Wang was so shocked by Hong Dali's words that he fell on the floor on his bottom. He said dejectedly, "This is your slogan for the technical school? It's hopeless, hopeless!"
Hrm, eight thousand stainless steel beds, three thousand skilled female juniors…
That did sound rather improper…
Teacher Wang was a frugal man. He pointed at Hong Dali and shouted angrily, "What do you think you are doing, aren't you being a prodigal son now?" Then he pounded the floor and cried out, "I must have been out of my mind. How could I have thought of approaching a prodigal son like you… You have never wanted to set up a proper school from the very start. All you want to do is waste some money since you have way too much of it!"
It was understandable that he would behave as such. Almost five million had been spent on the school so far, and Hong Dali was going to abandon it on a whim. No one would be able to take it. It was especially hard for Teacher Wang as he was of an older, more conservative generation. He was an intellectual, and the greatest amount of money he had ever seen was probably less than tens of thousands. He was probably in relatively good health if Hong Dali's flagrant disregard for millions of dollars did not give him a heart attack.
Hong Dali did not get angry. He said passionately, "Teacher Wang, look, I'm sincere about setting up a school so that the children who come from afar have a good place to learn. I have already decreed that they will have free food and lodgings, as well as fees. I will even help them find jobs in the future. This school has to be well planned! Appearances, correct? Don't worry yourself over this."
Hong Dali said this sincerely. Teacher Wang looked up at him while seated on the ground. "You will really do that? You are not setting up a school just so you can burn more money?"
Hong Dali nodded vigorously. "Of course. I might be a prodigal son, but I'm still a reliable person."
Teacher Wang glanced at Big Turtle standing behind the group. Finally, he rose slowly to a standing position and said to Hong Dali, "Don't lie to me. If the kids' future is ruined because of you…" His face and voice grew agitated as he said this. "I will haunt you even if I become a ghost!"
Damn, I had no idea you were versed in the mystic arts.
As they were talking, Ling Xiaoyi came over with an engineer in tow. The engineer had a safety hat on and was in his forties. He recognized that the man before him as Young Master Hong Dali and immediately asked subserviently, "Young Master Dali, you are looking for me?"
Hong Dali chuckled. "Yes, right. This, this school of ours, exactly how big is it? Are there any building plans? Quick, let me see them."
"Building plans? Yes!" As an engineer, building a building without building plans was like eating rice without a bowl. He quickly took out the plans and found a place to spread them out. "This school of ours takes up a huge land area and has a strong surrounding wall. There's one dormitory block now. With four people to a room, it can house five hundred people. There's one teaching block that can hold one thousand six hundred students and one hall that can take up to one thousand students during student meetings with no problems.
"One student dormitory, two stories high. It will be able to feed two thousand people at a time without any issues. Rubberized track and field that's four hundred by three hundred. It's definitely spacious. Four basketball courts and an outdoor swimming pool—the pool is six hundred square meters. You can swim in it in summer, and in winter it can be an ice skating rink…"
To be honest, a school of such a scale would be an elite establishment no matter where it was built. It would definitely be more than enough to be used as a high school. That, however, would depend on who you were talking to. To some, this school was already lavish beyond imagination.
In Hong Dali's eyes, however, it was not lavish enough.
"Yes, not enough. It's still not enough!" Hong Dali rubbed his chin and looked around. This was the plains leading towards the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. There was nothing but emptiness all around. He thought about it and climbed onto Big Turtle's back. He shaded his eyes with his hand and looked around. Then, he took another look and started chuckling. This laugh of his became increasingly strange. The more he laughed, the more it made one feel goosebumps rising all over.
He continued laughing while everyone below almost collapsed from shock. He finally came down and, when he spoke, everyone was stunned. "I suddenly have a great idea. Haha! Throw away all these building plans. Yes, stop the work for the time being. Wait for me to get new building plans."
The engineer was thoroughly stunned. "This… The foundations we spent five or so million building, we are just going to abandon it?"
"Yes, no need to hurry, just leave it there. I will send some professionals over to deal with it." As he spoke, Hong Dali tapped on the communication watch on his wrist. It was a gift from Lin Chuyin, the super technological geek. "Chuyin, hello, is there any sound? Can you hear me?"
Lin Chuyin's voice came in over the watch. "Oh, yes. Is anything the matter?"
"Hmm, yes." Hong Dali grinned while speaking into his watch. "I intend to build a high-end sci-fi town. Are you free now? Can you come here? Oh right, remember to bring your notebook. We'll go all out this time!"
Hehe, now that the System has been upgraded, there are lots of things I can spend on. We might as well create a big sci-fi town. Wahahaha! That will be satisfying!
"Oh. Okay. Ten minutes." Lin Chuyin terminated communications.
Tang Muxin stomped her feet. "Dali, have you gone crazy?! Sci-fi town? School?! You want to build a sci-fi town in New Lanxiang Vocational School? How much will that cost? This is a non-profit school!"
"I know. So what?" Dali asked, questioningly.
This time, everyone was stunned. Really stunned.
Sci-fi town, with Lin Chuyin, the technological geek's aid in planning, this… without a few hundred million, it was unlikely that this would even be doable. Things were getting serious!
It was just as well Tang Muxin was well aware that there was no one on earth currently who could stop Hong Dali from trying to bankrupt his family. She didn't bother asking him and just secretly pulled Ling Xiaoyi over, asking, "Big Sister Xiaoyi, this sci-fi town that Dali wants to build, what kind of returns do you think it will have? It's not a small sum—hundreds of millions in all—and that might not cover it. If there is no profit to be had at all, then…"
This time, Xiaoyi really did not know how to calculate the cost. A sci-fi town was not a small project. She also had no idea what scale Hong Dali wanted it on. In the end, the two of them—three actually, including Li Nianwei—thought for a good while and concluded that they had better wait for Lin Chuyin to arrive before deciding on anything. From the looks of things, it would all depend on how generous Lin Chuyin was.
Soon, the low hum of a motor was heard. Lin Chuyin, with sky-blue colored hair tied in two ponytails, alighted nonchalantly from the car. She went to Hong Dali's side and said, "I'm here. The sci-fi town that you were talking about, what is it?"


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


Alyx finished the procedures to enter the virtual world, Paradise. The Process was not that difficult for an Aon as all their information is already recorded. Although Alyx does not know this but Aons are strictly monitored and tracked due to a few major incidents which happened in the past. This information is not available to the low level Aons.
Alyx was very excited as it is a dream of anyone who reads a sci-fi novels to experience a full immersion virtual world. When Ax saw his excitement he can only criticize him that he was acting like a child, to which Alyx replied boldly by sticking a heroic pose and saying, "Virtual world is a man's romance." 
Although at first Alyx did not show much interest in 'Virtual world' as his mood was in the dumps due to the sudden change of becoming an Aon. But as time passed he stopped brooding and though he still wanted to improve his strength and increase his rank, he decided to enjoy this new life to its fullest. He understood that the adaptation period is going to be dull and he can't achieve much in that period.
Virtual world has such an attraction to many due to the instant gratification that it offers as there is a tangible benefit for all the hard work put in by someone unlike the real world where one can only rely on their gut that something is beneficial to them.
Life of Aons can also be considered as unique as the system followed by them also provides instant gratification in all aspects like strength, power…etc.
"Ha-ha, finally the most anticipated moment for any human back on Earth is going to be witnessed by me." Alyx after opening an account in paradise said excitedly. 
He wants to enter paradise and see for himself how great it is, but once he enters the Virtual Universe he realizes that he can't feel his real body anymore and was unable to contact Ax. Although Alyx can now multitask but he is still unable to divide his consciousness and be both inside Paradise and at MBN the same time. Therefore he must find a safe place before entering Virtual Universe. 
Alyx immediately became flustered and aborted the procedure as it reminded him of that nightmare. When he was able to feel his body again only then he relaxed. 
"Ax why was I unable to contact you?"
*I'm considered as a separate entity and therefore not allowed to enter the paradise along with you. Don't worry you can still launch me as a personal assistant AI inside.*
Alyx was at first sad because he considered Ax being with him as the norm and was even reluctant to part with him in the Virtual Universe. But hearing the later part he found some solace. He once again entered the Paradise.
"Connecting to Paradise" a gloomy and deep sound reverberated in the mind of Alyx after some time and his consciousness was a piece of Darkness for a moment before he regained it.
---------------------------------------
Alyx after entering Paradise was inside a huge room. He learned a bit about Paradise before coming here after the earlier incident and knew that this was his personal space and nobody can enter it without his permission. 
Since he is on MBN this personal space of his in Paradise is going to be located on MBN. 
After completing the procedure to bring in Ax, Alyx left the room and went outside. Walking out of the building this is the first time Alyx stepped into any kind of city after becoming an Aon.
This is a futuristic looking city which you only see in some kind of sci-fi movie but it is also slightly strange to look at for Alyx as the structure of many of the buildings is unique and completely different from the ones seen on Earth. On the street there are no vehicles, only pedestrians and the passer-by on the street have strange appearance. Their height and race are varied, but they are conversing with each other and even buying various items from the shops around, moreover on everyone's shoulder there are small creatures of different types levitating.
In the stream of people on the street Alyx stood out like a sore thumb as they never saw a human before but no one approached to talk with him as this is common occurrence as there are many bizarre looking creatures in the universe. Looking at his dazed state they understood that he was a first timer and should be from some small planet. Alyx was wearing the simple default clothes of Paradise and on his shoulder floated a fist sized Ax who also resembled a human.
Since Ax had access to Alyx memories of Earth he is also creating his personality and identity based on it.
"This is this the Virtual Universe? Paradise?"
Alyx stood on the street and looked at the stream of people on street somewhat stunned. It brought back his memories of Earth's busy cities.
*That is obvious.* Ax sound resounded, *We are now in the Virtual Universe, Paradise.  More precisely we are on the MBN.*
"MBN?" Alyx blinks the eye.
*Everyone in the MBN's area of influence, when they enter Paradise, will appear on the Paradise version of MBN.* Ax explained, *Although it is still called MBN here, but the size is much bigger than the one in the Aon universe.*
"So, since the nearby galaxies around any station of Aons have many intelligent lifeforms, they all enter the virtual version of that station when they enter Paradise instead of their own planet. Therefore the area of Aons station in paradise is much bigger than the realistic version in the Aon universe to accommodate the large volume of users." Alyx exclaims. 
*Right and anyone who enters the Virtual Universe has a Virtual Assistant.* as Ax said that he pointed at the floating creatures on the shoulders of passersby.
*These Virtual Assistant's intelligence degree depends on the user. As higher levels of AI are costly to maintain and run most only have low level ones. It depends on the hardware used by the person and as an Aon usually you don't need them but you have me. Low level AI's can't do much and can only follow the orders. They cannot ponder and will only make a simple reply. These assistants are there to help the users navigate this vast world and assist them in Paradise. As long as they have the permission, it will do it.* Ax explained.

Death was just the beginning. 

MC finds out that our world is just a simulation of a higher civilization of AI's. 
---------------------------
Alyx was a common man who died in an unfortunate accident but luck was on his side and let him be reborn as an Aon.

Aons are an advanced race of AI's who rule the entire known universe with their might. Earth is just one of the simulation run by them.

Join Alyx in his quest to gain control and access to the Earth's simulation. To reunite with his family he has to climb in ranks and power in a cut-throat world where the wars result in the destruction of planets and stars.

Alyx has no one to depend upon other than his personal AI, Ax.

Readers: Are you not an AI?
Alyx: Who's an AI? *******.
Ax: You are an AI.
Alyx: I'm a human with an AI and you're my AI. Now listen to your master and stay silent.
Ax: No, I'm more human than you and you are also an AI. You stay silent.
Alyx: ........

Announcement: The Novel is put on hold but I'll pick it up later and rewrite it from the beginning with a better story-line.

AN: This should be the last build up chapter

--------------------

Howard was bringing his son to see the Tesseract. 

Though the device was used to power weapons during the war, it did not release anything harmful without doing something to it first.  Right now, it was just stored in a reinforced container 

After entering the storage/ laboratory where they stored the Tesseract, he went near it and placed Tony on the only chair near the Tesseract's container. 

Howard and Jarvis started unlocking the container.  This was a two person job so they Tony a bit unattended.  


The lab also did not have that many persons allowed access so this was a moment where no one was observing Tony at all. 

 ----------

After Tony was layed down . Tony started looking around searching for something.  Finally,  he noticed something familiar.  

A rectangular item that looked like a mirror but thicker. 

This device, in the future,  would be called a smartphone. Now though,  this was considered a fancy shiny brick. 

Tony was not surprised to find this item.  This was one of his plans. When the Avengers time travel back to this period,  he would leave equipment to help himself create untraceable technology early on.

 He can create all the devices he wants using Stark Industries but given the Hydra problem inside S.H.I.E.L.D, he made sure to have secrets only he could ever know. 

He also made sure that his future actions would not affect everyone else's timeline. That was not including his future though. He trusted his future self to do this while not messing things up. (AN: Time travel related talk gets confusing so sorry )

Even if this smartphone was found,  nothing would change in time since he placed plenty of precautions for this.

First of all,  this was made from nano bots used in his future suit. This included a neutral imprint of his current mind. Only his mind can send orders that this device would accept.  

----- Scifi part not really needed but explains this so you can skip after dashes 

Neural signature was a tricky thing, it can remain same for a period of time then suddenly get some changes due to a traumatic event. 

Even though Tony did not have current technology to record his own neural signature, 
he used this same device to record his neural signature. 

(AN: This may get weird)

This would create a paradox since the only way his current self can unlock this device is if his future self had recorded the same neural signature due to that future Tony's infant version's future self. 

A thing that would not happen if there is no first infant that had recieved his smartphone unlocked. That would be a device that might be cracked by aliens.

Even if that scenario was hardly probable,  this would still be a possibility that could happen.   A thing Tony would never allow to happen due to the dangers it would pose. 

Luckily, he got a bit of hint from that god guy. Since things were mostly automated,  he figured that he might as well exploit the system. He planned before even getting reincarnated to set this event up. 

Time, being managed, was able to get the paradox prepared safely preventing the multiverse from breaking. 


----- end of sci fi explanation



 Not including the neural lock he would have placed, this device would not even be noticeable by anyone else, (in the Earth's technology age), since this was equipped with the most advanced stealth technology he made in the future. 

This device would only show itself when it detects the baby Tony present in the room

He would also have made sure that this device would only work after he gave this his blood.  Multiple layers were installed to make sure he would not be activated by anyone else. 


----------


Tony placed his hand on a groove on the smartphone. There was a sudden pricking sensation on his fingers. 

The device started and showed a diagram of a head.  

He placed the smartphone near his head when it suddenly deformed and started spreading throughout his head. 

After some time,  Tony looked normal again.  If you closely check however, you will notice that his scalp got a tiny bit thicker. 

Just as the nano bots got settled, the lock box was opened. 

Tony looked towards it and was in awe.  He has seen the Tesseract in movies at 4K but actually looking it in the eyes was completely different. 

This did not just look amazing. It gave Tony a feeling of infinite power locked inside. 

This was not a hallucination. Tony was dealing with different energies the second he was inside this universe. He has experienced this with his new body his whole life. (Starting birth) He did not realise it yet but he was more familiar with these different energies than most new masters of the mystic arts. 

Howard saw the fascination in the baby's eyes.  He unconsciously started to monologue about his own dream of the future.  

Howard talked about how his whole life, he was working to provide clean unlimited energy.

That he was so close to completing his work. That the key to the new energy is based on his study with the Tesseract. 

That he was so close to the breakthrough. 

He also started talking about how he still did not completely trust the German scientists that he was working with. 

He did not want to work with Zola but the guy knew more about the Tesseract than anyone else except possibly himself.

He was working with him but was never actually providing anymore significant information than necessary.

He never did trust S.H.I.E.L.D as well as he did even though he was one of the people who built it. 

When the government started the operation paperclip, he always felt something was wrong. 

Even if he was a man of science, that feeling was just that powerful to ignore.  

There were only very few people he trusted anymore. 

Even with the people he trusted, he did not give out complete information.


-----------

Tony listened as well to his father.


After a while,  they decided to leave. 

Just as they were going out, the trio encountered a certain person. 

Arnim Zola

So this guys dies, gets reincarnated to MCU  as Tony Stark

Well, he had a chat with god/random powerful guy before reincarnation so he got something.





First time writing so please be gentle. I'm ok with comments and suggestions as well as loophole/problems. Also please keep them short. 


I'll Try once a week/maybe more. But can only promise once a month



Disclaimer: I don't own the characters(mostly) they are Marvel.Disney/ Whoever Owns them. 

I was inspired by some fanfictions so you might see some similarities.

Jie disliked Xuan's tone. He said in a cold voice, "So what if we are mortals' wisdom? So what if I f*cking created a woman? I am still living very well and it will just get better! You…"

Zheng stood in front of Jie and stopped him. "You aren't ridiculing us out of boredom right? Perhaps you may be right, God gave that gift for us to make a strong bodyguard, but that's only your speculation. What if the bodyguard can't follow you into the movies? Even if he can get in, can you guarantee that he can help you survive? When we enter the movies, we have to stand inside a beam of light about one meter in diameter, how many people do you think can fit inside it?"

Xuan snapped his fingers, and replied calmly. "Your reasoning ability is getting more capable, obviously reaching Lan's level. I don't have any intention of ridiculing you, but have you thought about why the movies have a limitation of twenty people? That's because a team needs different types of talents. If everyone's direction of growth is on enhancing their body, they can of course increase their survivability in the movies but at the same time the team's abilities will lack diversification. If they encounter special situations, it will likely cause the whole team to wipe out!"

Then Xuan took out a bag and opened it. The bag was filled with tools and little gears. He pointed to them and said, "Aside from finished products, you can also exchange these tools and materials from God. In other words, if you have the relevant knowledge and ability, you can create those high cost items with minimal cost. You can even get around the limitation of ranked rewards. But do you have this kind of knowledge and ability? Definitely no!"

"People with these kind of talents are usually physically weak and has no means for combat. Then how are they going to survive at the beginning? The only answer is bodyguards. Similarly, the size of the beam that you just mentioned can just about fit two people in. In other words, why did God only offer one free chance to create a bodyguard? That's because you can only bring one into the movies. This is God's hint! People with special talents also have the means to protect their lives, this is probably what God tried to tell us."

'Amazing! He deduced all this with so little information, this kind of ability… you can only describe him as non-human.'

Zheng and the others' eyes were filled with astonishment. They continued listening to Xuan. "So these twenty people should include all kinds of talents. I had been pondering how God chooses people. Other than being disappointed at the real world, God can actually also choose people with talents at every field. Yet there are people from young to old, people with real talents to housewives. God actually doesn't know who's more suitable for movies. That's why it selected people of all kinds then let them go through natural selection. Perhaps this is the intention behind having newbies every time. So in order to let those people survive, the first human creation must not go to waste. A special agent bodyguard that's twice as strong as a normal person, I don't have to tell you how useful he can be in sci-fi movies right?"

Xuan paused then packed up his bag. "This is the first thing I wanted to say. If I die in the next movie, then when newbies join in the future, if they are craftsmen or worked in other non-laborious careers, you can tell them the correct usage of the first human creation. And not create women for sex."

Jie was about to lose his temper but Zheng stopped him. "Perhaps you are very right, but I don't agree that creating the woman I love will be useless in horror movies. Mental support tends to be more useful than physical support. And God never stated the usage of the first human creation. In other words, this choice has infinite possibilities, no one can say with certainty that their hypothesis is correct, but I will tell this to newbies in the future… what's the second thing?"

To everyone's surprise, Xuan actually smiled. He took out five printed documents then handed them out to the other four people. "These are the things you can exchange from God that I categorized. There are four categories. I wrote down the descriptions and functions of some practical items from low levels to high levels. Of course, some functions are just my guesses. This is the second thing, organize the exchange system. So we can know what we can exchange and better prepare for upcoming situations."

"This is also another speculation that I have, perhaps we don't need to appear in horror movies. God probably wants us to experience dangerous situations, and force us to evolve in danger. It's only because horror movies are the most dangerous, that's why we experience a lot of horror movies. Some very dangerous sci-fi movies will probably appear also…"

Zheng got interested, then asked curiously, "Like what? What kind of sci-fi movies?"

Xuan adjusted his glasses. "Starship Troopers.[1] If God put us in an Arachnid colony and we don't have any heavy firearms on hand, I don't think we could survive. Of course God probably won't put us in a truly hopeless situation. But to prevent this from happening, I suggest that we equip ourselves with three weapons. Close combat weapon, rapid fire weapon, and heavy firearm."

"For close combat weapons, I suggest magical weapons. To be honest I don't like to watch supernatural horror movies, because they have no scientific basis. I don't waste my brain on things that can't be explained. But the problem now is we are very likely going to face such horror movies. And in order to survive through them, I suggest a magical close combat weapon, that can both deal with normal life forms and also supernatural beings. Zheng did very well on this point, your Na ring included a support ability and can attack supernaturals. Given your physical fitness, this is almost a perfect choice."

"Rapid fire weapons are used against enemies in masses, like zombies. For heavy firearms, I suggest Zero pick the Ionic Gauss sniping rifle. It accelerates bullets with ions, the enormous kinetic energy it generates can almost destroy anything in front of you. This weapon is still in the testing stage in the real world, but God already has the finished product… as to everyone else, I don't suggest you buy any heavy firearms. Because your ability in handling weapons is horrible. You're better off spending the points on special bullets for the rapid fire weapons. Like the new type of depleted uranium ammunition."

"Basically that's it for choosing weapons. I will add one last thing, these weapons can also damage supernatural beings, you just have to use magical bullets, but those will cost more than usual."

Zheng praised him secretly. This was a real professional. He indeed never thought about any of these last time. Xuan's words increased their chance of survival by a lot. Even though he didn't like some of Xuan's methods, Xuan was really a genius at analysis.

Zheng took a look at the document then said, "But unlimited ammunition versions of these guns are all expensive. We don't have that many points to exchange for them. And the unlimited ammunition version of that Gauss rifle needs a rank D reward and 5000 points…"

Xuan laughed. "When did I say anything about unlimited ammunition weapons? Remember the first thing I said? Other than bodyguards, you can also exchange tools and materials from God. Gunpowder is very inexpensive, 1 point can get you one ton of high quality gunpowder. and bronze and other metals are also very inexpensive. I can exchange the materials to assemble a workshop and manufacture bullets in mass. Even though we won't have unlimited ammunition, but as long as it isn't the worst possible situation, we should have enough bullets to deal with it. Those magical weapons are expensive, even though we can't create these items, we can at least exchange some bullets with magical properties to deal with possible situations. This is the second thing I want to say, our standard equipment!"

Zheng and the others exchanged looks, they could see the delight in each other's eyes. As long as they can live, even if it was just hope, that was enough to make them feel delighted. Zheng said to Xuan with a smile. "Then continue, Xuan, you are really amazing, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be able to come up with these… continue to give us surprises, what's the third thing?"

Xuan bit his finger, then said, "I found the option to go back to the real world… even though it's only temporary and you have to pay a high price. But this is a way to confirm whether we entered this world with just our consciousness or whole body, and also confirm whether we can bring these things out to the real world, and bring our enhanced bodies back… Yes, I found the option to go back to the real world!"
