Chapter 15 - Level up

Sitting on the comfy store chair, Odin browsed the web using his suit. His eyes looked glazed over. If one stared closely, they could see images in his eyes.

It had been two days since he went out, and he was close to leveling up. All he needed was one more customer. He had been waiting for a while on. earth it would be 3 am by now.

His mind was currently split between learning by searching the web and the other was waiting for a customer. He occasionally went around and dusted the store, but other than that, he was quite lazy.

Odin was going to dust around again, but heard the door opening. He looked at the replica of the eternity gate and saw a familiar figure.

"Haha, if it isn't my first customer, what will it be? You have 10,335 credits with us!" Odin said as he walked up to the man.

Odin looked at the man's outfit and spoke.

"Is that a flennium infused Evo suit not bad? Other than it being able to withstand a highly hazardous environment, it can also store your soul after death with the proper augmentations."

During the two days, Odin had used most of the money to buy data shards for himself. He was well versed in many studies compared to other humans, but he still felt that even compared to 40k standards, a Magos would easily beat him regarding knowledge. Of course, that was just in its storage, but on applications of said knowledge Odin could easily invent something new with his knowledge, unlike the cult michanicus.

"You can tell?" the man said as he noticed the change in Odin's eyes

'Did they turn red?'

Odin's eyes were currently covered in a red tint that came from the armors bio lenses that enhanced his observational abilities.

"Of course, here's my suit." Odin said as his body transformed, and he was fully inclosed in his armor.

"M13 tech right here comparing mine to yours is like comparing an average person to the god-emperor." Odin said while chuckling.

'My god, how did he even do that? armor that can grow out of the body should be impossible. Is this lost technology or the power of witches?' Jokh thought as he stared in awe at the armor.

"I can see you are amazed don't worry soon we will also sell. These just give us more time and we will amaze you." Odin said as he patted Jokh's shoulder and led him through the store.

This time Jokh bought two items advanced 2190 gunsmithing and advanced 2240 interplanetary starship making. The gunsmithing cost 3 thousand credits and the ship making cost a whopping 10 thousand credits.

The man had brought a lot of money, which he held in a briefcase, but it was only 10 thousand guilder. This would only afford him the gun smithing but he was happy he still had credit to afford the other data shard.

Jokh left happily with his two new data shards and Odin was smiling happily as he knew he had finally leveled up.

[congratulations you have leveled up 1->2. You have unlocked level 2 items and level 2 draws. You have also gained an achievement reward and 5 android assistants!]

[you have obtained the sword of the apocalypse ]

"Eh, it isn't a draw but an actual item that's a first," Odin said as a dark sword appeared in the middle of the store.

The sword stood at 2 meters in length and looked like the buster sword from final fantasy. From the handle to the blade, it was covered in writing that Odin had never seen before. He walked to the sword and took hold of it, his body ignited in dark flames that seem to instead of burning it, froze everything it made contact with.

Odin was spared from this, but the store was covered in frost and ice. The contact that Odin had made had given him information on the sword. The sword was part of the emperor's armory and was used with this power armor. The sword had the heart of the empress of frost stored inside it with many other hearts of divine beings.

This sword was bathed in the blood of almost all of humanity when it was forged. As long as a human still exited, the user could carry the combined power of all of humanity in his hand. Of course, it would take a huge toll, but for those few minutes, he would be beyond God-like.

The sword represented the end and the power armor represented the beginning. While the apocalypse ravaged humanity, this armor and a single man would stand to bring them to salvation.

Both armor and sword had their own A.I built into them and were in since with one another and their use, even if they never knew war would become the God of war once he held the two.

The store quickly thawed, and the sword turned into a small black rectangle that entered Odin's body. Odin felt the sword move to his heart and wrap around it. Many unknown words appeared on the sword, but Odin seemed to understand them.

The words all contained the pure essence of hate in them. This was the source of power the sword gave the hatred of humanity that allowed one to surpass all that would dare to stand against humanity's revival.

[I shall assist you in your future battles user may you bring pride to the lord of humanity]

[yes, show those 'sages' and those beings of chaos what it means to stand against humanity, strip their flesh and burn their very existence. Show them what the concept of fear and suffering truly is]

Odin heard the two artificial intelligence say he also heard five people behind him. Turning around, he saw five robotic beings made of grey metal and silicon. They held no human features other than looking like one from afar, but that was all.

"A-182 to A-186 reporting for duty!"
