Chapter 17 - Dark Debut 1

Monsters, monsters I say! Living breathing monsters hiding under human skin, what kind of people can unleash fire from their hands like that?!

Even in my world there were fictional stories about superheroes like that but seeing it firsthand is way~ different than reading comics about it.

Huff, Huff…

As I stood in the woods hunched down panting, I grinned. I wanted to try a little something on Alfred but when he started throwing flares at me I got too scared to do anything and I ran away. But it feels good to be alive.

Anyways, I have successfully escaped from Alfred.

Now let's not waste anymore time and..

'Enter Inventory.'

[Entering Inventory…]

When I was in the familiar dark space, I finally sighed a breath of relief.

Phew,

'Now let's focus on the task at hand.'

With all the concentration I could muster I looked at the shield, let's dissect you now little shield, hehehe…

It's been a while, and when I say that I mean it's been literally days since I have been inside of the inventory.

At one point, I got out of the inventory and then I saw hundreds of guys surrounding the area. Immediately sensing the danger I went inside of inventory again.

Because of the fact that I don't need to eat, sleep or anything like that. I can theoretically stay here for millions of years but I don't think that would be possible.

Right when I left the inventory back then I felt a very unnatural headache.

I didn't know the reason for it then but now I think I know why, time doesn't flow inside the inventory, but it does outside of the inventory.

When I change places these sudden shifts of perception of time causes something similar to a sensory overload.

For short periods of time like a week or so this may be fine with me getting some light or heavy headaches but after that…I think the sensory overload would be so high that my brain will literally overheat and fry itself.

Anyways, in the past few days I have finally managed to create all the parts necessary to make my weapon.

Then I looked at the four small pieces and two more tube-like things floating inside of the inventory.

At first I wanted to create a weapon that would do extreme amounts of damage while also being relatively easy for someone like me to use, so I thought something like a laser assault rifle with some added modifications like a grenade launcher, flashes and scopes would be the perfect thing for me.

But then I thought not to make something like that because, in the first place, a weapon like that fundamentally defies the public's understanding of the term 'weapon' in this world.

So as long as people see it, news will spread and if news is spread. Who knows what kind of trouble I might get into.

So I decided to make a sword, but there is no way something like a sword can protect me.

It is too weak of a weapon to be used properly.

Anyone with a spear can kill me, anyone with a bow can kill me, after each fight I would have to take care of any chips and scratches I might cause to the weapon's sharp edge and it has practically no versatility to it.

I don't want a weapon as rigid as that…and then it suddenly hit me, What if I merge a laser assault rifle and a sword.

Something like a laser sword. In my original world there were fictional stories where these were used but it wasn't possible because of the limited technology but it might be possible here with [Partial Recreation].

'Yes, if I make something like that then right off the bat I would not have to worry about the sword ever chipping away. And if I can tweak it a bit I might just have a sword where I can change the size of the sword however I want..This is perfect!'

Following that I tried to transmute the shield and the core to make a laser sword but unfortunately I failed. Mainly because the size of the shield far surpassed the size of my palm.

Anyways through countless trials and errors I have finally made something, though these are in a lot of fragmented parts. As long as I assemble them my perfect sword should be finished.

Thinking that I grabbed the first part, this one would be at the very top of the handle.

This gadget is nothing but a 'plasma beam emission unit' making this was by far the hardest, this thing's sole purpose is to channel all the energy of the core into a beam made out of plasma.

There is even a glass on top of it, and I have made sure to tweak the plasma in a way so that when the beam passes through the glass it will plasmonically absorb all the wavelengths of light except purple. Making it seems that only a purple laser is there.

I chose the color purple because it is the least visible from far away distances. I wanted to make it invisible to the naked eye but if I do that even I won't be able to see it so I thought not to do it.

Then grabbing the second part I attached it to the first part, this was a holder or a cell that holds the core and channels all of its power without getting destroyed itself. Making it was a bit of a challenge but that's all it was really.

When the two pieces were attached together I grabbed the third piece, this was a computer, making this was really hard.

I call it a computer but really this thing can only perform ten tasks so calling it a computer is a bit of a stretch but oh well this thing can store, process and respond to commands so I am not wrong for calling it as such.

And the final key part, this is a 'Brain Computer Interface' or a BCI for short, in simple terms this thing can react to my thoughts and act on it.

I wanted to plant a specialized chip inside my brain to properly use BCI but I couldn't because operating on myself would be pretty hard and I also don't want to mess with my brain.

Anyways for now this can react to my brain waves through physical contact, in other words as long as I am holding it I should be able to use it properly, theoretically.

After I was done assembling the four parts, now it's time to add the final two parts. These two parts are just two tubes which will act like an outer shell or case of sorts to protect the internals of the device.

The first casing is made out of titanium carbide which will hopefully be able to resist the heat that will emit from the beam and prevent the heat from entering inside or spreading outside of the tube.

Because if the heat spreads inside the most important and intricately designed CPU and BCI it might start melting, and if it spreads outside then I might start melting.

And the second casing was made up of stainless steel and tungsten wires which ultimately had nomex gap filling, which is a fabric that is extremely high resistant to heat.

I have made these two cases with only the elements and alloys that had the highest resistance to heat. I have designed it with such precision that it was impossible even in my previous world, if it was not for the unbelievable rune I would have never been able to do it.

Even with all this, I have estimated that I can only use the laser at twenty percent intensity, any more than that and all the surroundings near the laser, the handle and me everything will start melting.

Anyways, with that done all that's left for me is to make a suit made out of nomex and I would be good to go-

[Ding!!]

[Intruder Alert!!]

[Intruder Alert!!]

[Someone is trying to break through into the inventory!!]

[Ding!!!]

[The invader has located the Host and Inventory!!]

[An Emergency Ejection will take place in order to maintain the system's secrecy!!]

[Forced Ejection In T-10]

Immediately as I got these messages, everything around me slowed down. As I read through the almost endless amount of notifications I realized the gravity of the situation.

What? Someone is trying to break through. Who? How? And Why?

Okay let's think calmly here, as far as I know only the headmaster is capable of such a thing but I don't think he would interfere, he is too proud to interfere in mere insects play.

[Forced Ejection In T-9]

But then what is going on..???

Ugh!! Too many questions and too little answers. Let's see, I will be forcefully ejected out of here in less than 10 seconds.

In that case I will naturally spawn in the middle of that forest. If some really strong guy is there waiting for me then I am fucked but even if some really strong guy is not there I am still very profoundly fucked because I would have to fight those bullies anyways.

[Forced Ejection In T-8]

Damn it I need to make the nomex suit right now or else I am fucked.

Okay, I quickly need to think of a design and act on it.

[Forced Ejection In T-7]

.

[Forced Ejection In T-6]

.

.

[Forced Ejection In T-3]

[Forced Ejection In T-2]

[Forced Ejection In T-1]

[You have been ejected from the inventory!!]

[You have been ejected!]

[Good Luck, Host!]

'Thanks My guy.'

Mentally thanking the system, I was bombarded with an unnatural headache but regardless I started inspecting the surroundings.

"Hey, He was here!"

"Damn, Alfred was right, the bastard was hiding here from the beginning."

"Alfred."

Hearing the loud whispers of the group of bullies was annoying.

Ahh, it looks like I would need to use my light sword after all. If I could help it I wouldn't have used it, because I couldn't make a helmet for myself in time.

Though I did manage to make everything else, and right now my get up is similar to that of an astronaut except if someone were to look closely they would see my pants sliding down my waist ever so slightly.

I have never personally met any astronauts before so I don't quite know what kind of waist belts astronauts use.

A-Anyways this would be fine as long as I don't move.

"Finally..you're..here..huh…I..missed..my..date..because..of..you..." Hmm? I saw one of the bullies of the academy jump at me. He was talking really slowly, or rather my brain was working really fast.

Speaking of bullies, it seems the bullies still haven't left the nearby area. Maybe it's because very little time has actually passed since I have been gone.

Then from the corner of my eyes, I saw the blabbering bully approaching me, hmm, let's activate my laser sword shall we? Let's see, 10% intensity sounds good, I don't want to show too much of my power who knows if the invader is still lurking around here.

Buzz…Buzzzz..

Suddenly, even in my slowed down world, the laser manifested itself almost instantly.

When the sword was manifested I thought which one of the ten modes should I use first..

Looking at the boastful brute again and realizing he is less than five meters away from me I decided to use one of the mid ranged modes.

[Laser Sword : Whiplash!]

And then I used another command which is,

[Laser Sword : Auto Aim.]

And then I lifted my hand diagonally and slashed him,

!!

My eyes widened, almost in an instant the big bear was bisected, it was so fast that even with my faster perception of the world I couldn't see shit.

"W-What?"

"Nile Died!"

"T-This isn't real! Yeah it's a dream a-a dream…!?"

Looking at the shocked state of the students, it seems like I have successfully managed to instill 'fear' in them.

I grinned slightly, alright then, the show is about to begin fuckers!
