My new (HubSpace)Home

Taking a gander at the new window after finalizing my new body, I feel a slight surprise as I read the contents of the messages contained within with some minor shock. As for the cause for said shocked surprise? Well...

================================================================================================================

[Avatar Body Creation completed. Choices locked. Finalizing...]

[Completed. Synchronizing Host with Personal Dimension...]

[Alert! Due to Meta-verse Controller and Worldforge Console integrating into Host's Construct body, Personal Dimension and Hub World has merged, undergoing an evolution after fusing. Calculating updated changes...Completed.]

[Hub World has integrated the Personal Dimension, and has evolved into a HubSpace. As a starting gift from Primus, a personal home has been gifted along with beginner materials for your Mechanic class.]

[Due to Host's past experience in IT and Innovative Engineering, Mechanic class has gained an automatic +2 Levels and all prior blueprints from past creations has been collated into an internal archive. Blueprint Archive can be viewed from either your new HubSpace Home's library or from Gamer HUD Menu choices.]

[In addition to the upgrades and fusion of functions for HubSpace, other technologies incorporated into the new Construct body include Cyberware and Bioware functions, due to synergies with MetalSync and Alloy Body boons, including a reflex enhancing Sandevistan Prototype cybernetic implant/self-replenishing Exodrug gland, a personal hardlight holographic omnitool, subdermal armor, reinforced prototype cybernetic skeletal enhancements, carbon-nanofiber muscle weave and enhancements, a custom-crafted specially-modified Mr. Studly male hybrid Bioware/Cyberware sexual performance enhancement, among others. A full list can be found in the Cyberware/Bioware sections of the Menu. These Cyberware/Bioware enhancements can be upgraded, replaced, or removed so long as the appropriate skill levels are met.]

============================================================================================================

Hello! Now that's a lot of info to take in. After I read that, I suddenly see what looks like an engineer's dream home pop up in this space about thirty feet in front of me. The place was more like a goddamned mansion than a house. A quick once-over for the building shows it's basically a rich billionaire engineer's wet dream as far as home design goes. It even has a few extra guest bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, a master suite, and a pair of mechanic garages and tinker workshops. Two separate ones. Each. This place is like the Playboy Mansion for tech nerds. Primus even gave me the bare-bones basic tools and raw materials needed for anything I want to build.

Though when I saw the metamaterials he provided, I felt a confused sense of familiarity, before I realized it was cybertronium. and I suddenly knew how to build the bare-bones basic tech of Cybertronians. Not anything too advanced yet, but a quick gander through my HUD's Menu showed I had a tab called 'Tinker Tech Trees'. Opening that revealed Primus also gave some of my first few points from the Mechanic class for unlocking tech trees' into the beginner levels of Cybertronian tech. Nothing as advanced as a ground-bridge or even FTL travel yet, but it's a start with some of the civilian-grade weapons systems and other tech of equal caliber. Basically, anything any Cybertronian with even the bare-bones minimum of tech and engineering know-how could get the required materials and skill necessary to make. And since even the weakest of Cybertronians have at least some form of weapons system or defensive gadgets, that's a good deal for such a 'beginner' tech base. I see what you're doing there, Primus. I thank you for the kindness and forethought, given what I'm pretty sure is the tech base your creations were famous for building and the starter materials and tools needed to make them.

================================================================================================================

[You are most welcome, my latest and newest child.]

================================================================================================================

Nodding in gratitude at the response from my Machine God patron, I move on to the next key point. Okay, let me calm myself down now from the nervousness of going over this list and go back over the things from the previous message window about those implants again and-waitwaitwait a fucking minute here! THAT'S why I got TWO fucking cocks and SIX goddamned testicles now!? What the shit, man!? Just what kind of freak made something like this, then got it scrapped for!? Don't tell me there's something wrong with it that got the poor bastard either killed or forced to scrap it after replacing his junk!

Immediately going to check that specific implant, I breath out a sigh of extreme relief when I read that the protoform infusion Primus gave me helped not only repair the implant, but also fixed any problems and removed any previous DNA or biological dangers from it as it integrated it into my body and hard coded my DNA into it. Though it still suffered some minor mutations as a result of the exotic design of the implant in question. Well shit. And according to this, trying to replace this may result in complications for me now. Fuuuuckk, I'm gonna have to find a real kinky freak for a lover now, because I doubt any sane or normal woman will want this in her holes. Especially since it would also roofy her to high heaven with the particular biochemical cocktail of high-grade aphrodisiacs, fertility boosters, and refractory enhancers this damned thing produces naturally from the nodular glands(those bumps I mentioned earlier) along the shafts and on each of my six testicles.

(I would also find out later that this actually increases the number of women wanting to go a few more rounds once the marathon sex sessions ended and the biochemical high wore off. Apparently, after checking the biochemical composition again afterwards, I learned that it's actually a non-addictive cocktail of substances that only makes it easier to give any lovers pleasure and enhances elasticity for better penetration. Still don't know what kind of kinky freak even made this thing, but I was torn afterwards between beating the ever-living shit outta the damned perv or thanking them profusely for such an ingenious creation.)

After finishing the overview of that particular annoyance of my rebuilt body, I skimmed over the rest of the cyber and bioware now incorporated into my physique, repeating the skin a few more times to make sure I didn't miss anything, and only stopping to get a more detailed description of any that caught my attention. Usually ones I either didn't know the specific schematics of or had to do a double-take on to make sure I didn't misread it. Like that fucking Sandevistan cyberware and that Exodrug gland. That's military-grade Cyber and Bioware! That is NOT supposed to be in a civilian recycling plant. You know how some people refer to serious stuff as 'the good shit'? Well, Sandevistan is the 'real good shit' among Cyberware. You can't even buy it in most legitimate markets, and among those you can, they're older models. You can only find the newer ones on the black market, but only defective ones. This was an experimental military-grade prototype. A near-new one that hasn't even been released to the public as even existing yet. What in the ever-living fuck was this doing in a scrap heap!?

After shelving such questions on how certain types of Cyber and Bioware designs and/or schematics ended up in a scrap heap disposal site for later, I decided to check out my HUD's Menu. Mentally calling it out gives me quite the surprise when I see some of the options there.

============================================================================================================

Hello! Going over those different tabs I haven't checked yet, or aren't obvious what they're for, I go through them one by one. Inventory is a pretty obvious one. It's technically a pocket space for storing things and is a staple in any video game. Particularly of the RPG genre. Tinker Tech Trees is something I already checked earlier. I had a few leftover points for certain tech trees, but I currently do not have any other than the Cybertronian tech tree unlocked right now. The Crafting Tab is basically as the name implies; it basically lets me build stuff using materials and any blueprints or crafting recipes I obtain or learn. Blueprinting is basically a tab that lets me create and troubleshoot all-new or experimental prototype blueprints and simulate whether or not they work before successfully saving them. The Perks and Flaws tab basically is self-explanatory in its function. The Status and Talents tabs are the same story.

The Dungeon Options tab, however, opened up to several sub-tabs, giving me further options for customizing a Dungeon like in a video game where I can train and gain rewards upon completing them. These dungeons are also emulations as much as simulations, due to the Meta-verse Controller, Worldforge Console, and, after checking the specific tech that got shoved into my dying corpse prior to integration during its reconstruction, something called the 'World Index'. Apparently, that was a piece of reality-warping super-tech that can, at the press of a button, merge multiple worlds together. Now, it instead integrates such worlds and functions into my HubSpace instead, since it got integrated into the two. As for the Console for the games or different media I can create dungeons from...its a literal disk tray/cartridge slots/book scanner that uses them for the medium to create the dungeons from. Apparently, among all the various different super-tech that got shoved into my body, there was a rather mundane-by-comparison game console that got included into the mix. THAT one actually made some sense to find in a scrap heap, unlike some of the other military-grade shit.

After taking a closer look at some of the settings and options, I found I could create crossover dungeons, set up specific settings, hell, I could even search for and select a specific dungeon reward I wanted and the thing would tell me what difficulty run I'd need to do for a specific dungeon to get it. It even has a 'Multiversal Randomizer' sub-setting that gives me the option to set up specific criteria for a Dungeon or even a World Jump if I prefer, and even if I pick the same setting choices, it'll give me a different Dungeon or world each jump. I can even set up how difficult I want it to be, and modify certain aspects or details if I wish for an 'AU' World Jump. Now that sounds like some fun for later. Suddenly I had a thought. Doing a quick check for a particular Dungeon run reward, I found I could get the MIB tech tree from a Normal++ difficulty run. Now THAT will be useful if I manage to integrate it into my other unlocked tech trees. Noting that intel down for later, I decided to do a quick check of my Stats to see what I have to work with before I decide on any further plans for now.

....what. The. SHIT!?

This stat sheet both explains a lot and nothing at all! First of all, why the fuck is my primary class' level at 10 already?! And what the fuck is with this low affinity for Eromancy?! Sex Magic?! Really!? I admit to being a bit of a pervert, but nowhere near enough to justify THAT particular affinity among my tertiary ones!

Taking a deep breath(more like a few) to calm down before I break something, I take the time to think. This is clearly a modified Status Sheet from the OVERLORD series' DDVRMMORPG game YGGDRASIL Online for the Players from that franchise. Though these stats seem more in line with those from the manhwa Legendary Mechanic. albeit slightly modified. Though how the fuck do I have stats like these already? They don't even make any sense! For starters, they shouldn't grow like this unless-!

Wait...waitwaitwaitwait...wait a fucking minute here. A cold sweat begins to form on my brows as a chilling thought grips my mind. Hoping I'm wrong, I open the Perks and Flaws tab, prating it's not what I think it is.

================================================================================================================

[Perks and Flaws]

[Perks:

Gamer's Body: You have a body akin to a video game character in real life. You can never suffer permanent damage, and so long as your HP does not drop to zero, you can keep fighting without hindrance. Any food or drinks you consume can also buff or debuff your stats.

Level-Headed: You can keep a calm head and will avoid losing your cool in almost any stressful situation. Very few things manage to get under your skin enough to make you lose your temper. Grants a bonus to willpower and resisting temptations. Think of this as a low-key version of Gamer's Mind, only instead of being constantly active, you can choose to toggle parts of its effects on or off at will, and it's reliant upon your own will and desires. It also will not suppress or dampen your emotions, as free will is integral to all sentient species that exist.

Child of Primus: You are a divinely blessed child of the Machine God. Grants certain perks, such as the [GOLDEN ICHOR] Perk and Perfect Affinity with Technomancy. Your mind is now akin to a supercomputer's data archive and a repository for any tech trees you unlock and their branches you gain access to, having an encylopedic knowledge of any and all technology or knowledge gained by them.

GOLDEN ICHOR: Your nature as a demi-god of machines has affected your Class growth for your Primary Class, passively improving your physique, spirit, energy, lifeforce, and even grade. Passively gain +12 STR, END, AGI, +8 MYS, CHR, INT, +4 LUCK, and +144 Energy every month and +1 Class level to your Primary Class every year, regardless of whether or not you actually train.]

[Flaws:

High-Libido: You have an abnormal libido and overclocked sex drive that would make even a Lord of Lust tell you to keep it in your pants. You suffer hyper-sexuality that makes your refractory period nearly non-existent and can keep going for hours or even days of continuous marathon sex without needing to take a rest. You also suffer from hyper-fertility, so unless you want lots of kids, I'd recommend practicing your pull-out game.

Minorly Vindictive: You are a slightly vengeful individual. You will take petty acts against those you feel have horribly slighted you. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as you also do not ignore injustices whenever you encounter them and will seek to correct them however and whenever you can.

Emotional Warehouse: You have a tendency to bottle up your emotions to deal with them later to deal with problems in a more logic-driven manner. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as this allows you to keep yourself from getting caught up in emotional turmoil. However, there are some things that can still cause you to lose your cool and level-headed temper.]

================================================================================================================

....oh fuck me....If my math is right, and it always is...doesn't this mean....I've been out of it for six. Goddamned. Years!?

================================================================================================================

[Correct. Due to damage to the Metaversal Controller, Time Dilation effect was unable to stop time within HubSpace. Not even slow it to a crawl before being integrated into Host's Construct body. As such, Host has been in a comatose state while reconstructing Host's body into a Construct. Total time of Coma duration: 6 years, 6 months, and 6 days.]

.....oh fuck me running. With a telephone pole. With RAILROAD SPIKES in it! I've been asleep for that long!? I can't stay here! I gotta go back! My friends must be absolutely going bat-shit insane with worry about where I've been or even what happened to me! I gotta get outta here and find them. NOW! Though I have a sudden dreadful feeling sinking in as a question bulldozes its way into the forefront of my mind as I use the Menu to leave my HubSpace for the world I came here from...
