2.1

It was early in the morning that I found myself sitting in the simulation room- there's a simulation here apparently- of the ship I was in.

The place was currently in a default setting which just consists of an ever expanding white box room. It was eerie in a sense, unnaturally quiet with the only markings are the grid like pattern on what I could say as the walls and ceiling

It was just after I took a bath from the showers and after changing my clothes to some white cotton shirt and loose pants.

I was currently sitting down on the flood trying to recreate the feeling I had yesterday to activate the rest of my powers.

Looking at it, it may look like I'm meditating. Still I felt that…

Nothing

A groan came out of my mouth at that. Yes I've only been doing this for just about five minutes of so but still I felt like I'm being impatient.

Maybe because I was hungry. I haven't had any kind of breakfast today.

Or any food since I've arrived in this world really.

"Eins can you make any kind of food?" I asked

Eins, the name of the A.I. I was currently with could do a lot of things, namely get information and teleport me anywhere in the city.

"Yes, sir. Food can be used from the storage and also synthesized from matter gathered"

It seems that making food is one them. What does she mean by 'synthesizing'? Is she 3D-printing food?

"Eggs, bacon, sausages and some toast and butter please. Oh, and a glass of orange juice too"

"Affirmative"

I sighed, closing my eyes and tried again to get my real powers to-

I felt the world stop and see the hue of the world die out.

"There we go" I thought with a smile

This part was the easy one. The next however is how I would get to use the other ones.

'Maybe it's because I'm already using it'

That's right. Right now I'm using the 'Power Manipulation' ability.

So if I just 'zoom out' so to speak I would get to where the rest-

Suddenly it was as if I was launched across the night sky. There was no force or movement but around me it looked as there were stars streaking as I moved past them.

I stopped in the middle of three large spheres almost as big as I am shaped like suns brimming with power and potential.

In that instant I knew what they were.

The first on my left seemed clear as if it could be anything, a potential to be anything that can be and already filled with six small lights already inside of it- Power Manipulation

On my right looked like a sphere made of a bunch of digital codes and blueprints projected near me. An archive of knowledge that is ready to be used- Inspired Inventor

In the middle right in front of me lies a glowing orb cascading with the colors of a rainbow, it looked like see through yet not, showing every color yet a difference could be seen each time. A reflection of the ever-changing possibilities- Kaleidoscope

Grinning I thought 'Now this is where the fun begins'


Deciding I would use the Power Manipulation first to make my powers first because if seemed to be the most useful right now and also because I wanted to make powers that I could use immediately.

I 'reached out' to the sphere on my left.

It was a weird sensation.

There was no 'me' here, everything felt metaphysical in a sense.

Then I felt as if there were multiple sparks from it. Sparks of potential to be anything I wanted it to be. Any power any ability to use and strengthen.

It felt as if it was orbiting the sphere of Power Manipulation

Those must be the charges that I could use to make any abilities.

Modifying powers don't really cost any points but from what I can see I still have my charges to-

What the hell

I have twenty points. How?

I just arrived here yester..day.

Fuck, right I would have ten points per day and since I didn't spend any of my charges yesterday it would come over today.

'If I have twenty here then that means I also have another twenty for my Tinker power.' I thought with a smile.

I 'grabbed' one of the sparks to make a new power.

Right now safety is my priority. Any ability that would let me survive longer for a fight, to go for another day.

Regeneration then.

All right, now what? Do I tell it to give me regeneration?

"Uhhh…Regeneration" I commanded

Nothing

I scrunched up my thought, do I have to visualize it? Or make it from the ground up?

I focused on the spark in my 'hand' and thought of the mechanics of my ability.

The spark in my hand devouring the information I was giving it.

Cellular regrowth, regeneration from amputation and dismemberment, numbing pain, something that would always put me on my peak physical performance.

Wolverine and Deadpool from Marvel

I felt the spark in my 'hand' reaching its limit on what it can give.

I didn't stop and continued, adding another spark to the power I'm making

Something that would push out unwanted objects like bullets and knives and toxins from my body. Very fast in doing it and could still remake me even if I don't have a head.

I continued listing examples from the top of my head of characters I know with regeneration.

Zombieman from One Punch Man and Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul

Something that could power through exotic stuff like a quarter of my body being transformed into glass.

Touta Konoe from UQ Holder and Ban from Nanatsu no Taizai.

Something that would not have any side effects such as a need for biomass, shortening my lifespan of using my life energy

The sparks, five of them, are in my 'hands' combining, crystallizing and creating what I had imagined. It's function and form to be used. The form shining and complex all working according to my desires and wish on how it works. Fitting it all together and polishing it.

And...

It's complete, my regeneration ability.

The first power I made, carefully as if I was holding a child I placed it back to the sphere near me, and let it start.


I immediately left the other world to check on the changes to myself.

I didn't really feel any different but looking at just my arms I saw what had changed.

"I have muscles" I said in confirmation as I touch my biceps.

I removed my shirt as well to see that, yes I also have abs. It was quite fascinating for someone like me, I wasn't really fat but I wasn't fit. I had a pouch on my belly and couldn't run four laps on the track field without seeing spots in my eyes.

'Why did this happen though?' I thought because I didn't add any body strengthening ability on my ability. Unless-

"Peak Physical Performance" I muttered out loud. The so called 'Peak Human' the 'Charles Atlas Superpower'

Dropping down I started to do push ups to see what I can do. It really became easier to do, I wonder if my other brute abilities are also helping.

After counting to my 50th count I started doing it using only one hand.

At my 150th I was only using one finger.

In my 300th I was doing one finger stand ups.

I was barely even sweating after five hundred stand ups.

Wanting to check the actual regen part of my power I proceeded to break my arm by snapping it by the bone.

I know that should have been wrong and why didn't I feel anything about that and the ease I did it, but before I could have finished that thought my arm was already healed.

I then repeated that process multiple times.

My leg

My knee

Fingers and nails

I stopped before I started gouging my eyes, I really didn't want to do that.

I did feel pain but it was numbed, but pain is good it tells the body that something is wrong and that it is damaged and other things happening so pain suppression is kind of stupid. Especially in this world where a lot of caped have some bullshit way to get at you.

I decided to go back to my power making then, it was easier this time and I was already between my 'suns' again and thought of what I should get next.

The next should be something that would make me more mobile, a defensive ability and offensive one.

Telekinesis then for a versatile ability that could potentially do all of those things.

I still have sixteen sparks to use so that means I could go nuts on my abilities right now, then tomorrow I would have another ten.

I grin as I grab another spark and start to visualize my next ability.

Let's see, telekinesis, the ability to grab an object and move in any direction an object whether forward, backward, lift it up of bring it down.

As I start to visualize my ability I felt my spark crystalizing what I want.

I was already grabbing more sparks to make this faster.

Crushing pressure to an object or person.

I visualize some characters I know that could use these kinds of telekinetic abilities.

Force users from Star Wars remembering the infamous force choke.

Making invisible barriers and augmenting one's strength by coating themselves with it.

Mob from Mob Psycho 100

Using it with precision while doing large scale things and even affect other powers.

Tatsumaki from One Punch Man

The Simurgh

I watched it crystalized costing me four charges to make it.

I immediately moved on to make another power, something more focused to defense. A barrier or a shield

At first I debated on how I would make my barrier, if I would go for a solid sphere around me or something like Glory Girl's a skin tight one.

Then I remembered this world's very own force field cape Narwal. Capable of making various constructs and shields and even make it like her own clothes.

With that thought I started making my third ability. A mobile force field, made of multiple segments like hexagons letting me build it to various shapes I want. I would be able to make lots of them to control and direct them remotely and stack them for increased durability. It should be able to automatically go against attacks directed to me and orbits around me ready to be deployed whether for offense or defense.

I should be able to direct them even if they are not on me, of course capable of defending me from physical, psychic and exotic attacks. Being able to shape them too is possible, if I wanted I would be able to wear them like clothes or make them into a barrier around me or others. If I wanted it could be shaped like a sword with sharp edges of shoot them.

Oof… I actually felt at least 2 sparks go there. Then I just added another charge to make it stronger costing me in total five charges.

With the things I added it seemed like I was already making a hard light constructs with a drone like function, but it's main purpose is still defensive.

I left that place then after creating that to test it in the simulation room.


I was currently standing on an empty field as made by Eins for the simulation I wanted. Something about Dimensional and Spatial shit were used to make this bigger than it should be so that I could move about. It was also durable and should be able to withstand what I would do, if damaged could easily be repaired.

The sun was shining, no clouds in sight and the wind was kind of fair. There were even grass here as I knelt down to touch them, it felt real, blades of grass on my fingertips.

All around me were various animals like large wolves, bears and even small dinosaurs like velociraptors. According to Eins the animals were some kind of hard light construct so they could pack a punch and be able to hurt me.

Above me were some combat drones that would shoot me with Taser bolts are flying above me.

Currently I just wanted to test out my new abilities so I would refrain from using my copied ones.

"Simulation begins in 3…2…1" she began counting down I felt an excitement within me. Technically this is my first fight in like ever. It should be easy though considering this is like the literal easy mode, also because I asked Eins to make it that way. A plain field, no hiding places, no traps or some unexpected shit.

"Start"

I immediately shot forward my body strengthened by my telekinesis covered within my telekinetic shield wrapping around my body and a force field dome on me protecting me from the shots of the drones around me. Their blasts not even reaching a foot from my body.

Around me blue hexagons formed elongating to shape like swords around me, a quirk of my barrier that when defensive it's default state is invisible but when being used it has to be visible. I can still make it visible in defense mode but when used as a weapon I can't, shame really that means no invisible barrier strikes for me. Yet

I shot them all to the animals and the drones, surprisingly the drones and dodged some of animals too. Most didn't and were taken out by the sword constructs going as fast as 150 km/hr.

I reached the first animal, a large wolf which was sent flying with a telekinesis augmented punch, a bear sent away with a kick both counted as dead with just those strikes, unsurprising since I was going all out, but worrying since I didn't want to kill anyone when I go out, don't want to be another collateral damage barbie because I had no control.

A large blast went past me crashing to the ground.

It seemed that the drones are upping up their game since their blasts are leaving craters now.

I kept on trying to shoot them down with my constructs from the ground or telekinetic force blasts all the while various shield constructs are revolving around me sometimes blocking a shot or an animal.

Then a large bear managed to jump on top of my barrier when I was concentrating my defense on a particularly large barrage of blasts from the drones, the other animals proceeded to try and dogpile me, covered with them I then pushed them all out by sending out a telekinetic blast all around me then locking them by pushing them all down with my shields on top of them.

There was no skill in my fights, I was just powering through with brute force. I should use this place more to practice.

Using my telekinesis I lifted myself from the ground to try and chase down the drones in the sky, but they were too maneuverable and just kept peppering me with their blasts, it doesn't hurt me but it was annoying.

I managed to get some of them by blocking their escape using my barriers to lock them in place then shooting them with telekinesis boosted sword constructs but it seemed they were learning 'I wonder if it was Eins that was controlling them.'

Still this was a nice test of my abilities, but I do want to take a short break cause I still haven't eaten yet being too engrossed with my experiment.

I brought myself down as more hard light constructs and drones appeared around me.

Then all of them proceeded to get brought down by a five ton crushing force all fifty meters around me.

"I see" I said looking at the animals and drones on the ground "Spreading it out like that also spreads out the pressure" looking at the large elephants still trying to come at me.

I increased the pressure to ten tons, my current limit, the elephants dropped and most animals disappeared being counted as dead. I nodded

"These drones are quite durable to withstand that." Looking back did I even destroy one drone?

Few, too few.

I grabbed one of the drones feeling out it's insides with my telekinesis and crushing small components from the inside, it shut down.

I managed to throw them down some to the ground but they didn't break. The only ones I managed to break down were the ones shot down with a telekinetic propelled constructs.

Well after I eat we are going to have discussions with my Tinker abilities.
