AN: Sorry guys for the wait. I struggled with this chapter because I suffer a mild writers block. Anyway if you have any suggestions or tips feel free to share them with me, it would be appreciated. Thanks for the suportive comments thus far. It really helps me keep going.
_ _ _ _ _
I am in my secret base. Today I have to make me some training equipment. I think of a watch that multiplies the gravitation pull around me. With my body getting accustomed to greater gravitation, I shall become a monster. Thinks like jumping high and lifting heavy things will become normal for me.
I take about ten mana crystals from my dispenser and convert them into a gravity changing watch.
The pile starts to shine changing its form. I imagine a watch with a numbers pad and nixie tubes, showing the time and gravitation. I love old school stuff so I make it with nixie tubes instead of a LCD display.
The pile of mana crystals changes into a watch. The watch is powered by the mana in the air. I put the watch on and type the gravitation pull I want to have. For now ten times the normal gravitation pull should do.
I type the number ten and push enter.
Suddenly a heavy force pushes me to the ground.
Shit I overestimated myself. I try to get up with all my might. I am on all four. Like heavy weight lifter
I scream and try to stand up.
"Aaaaaahh"
Yes it worked. Now standing, I take a few steps.
*Ring. Ring*
"Oh, I have a guest? Who could it be?"
I walk to the door but with my gravity watch every step is frigging difficult, making me loose a lot of stamina with every step. With this pace even a snail could over take me.
"I am coming hold on."
Finally arriving at the door I check who it is with my surveillance camera. Oh it's Neo.
I open the door.
"Come in Neo, we have great things to do"
"Thank you master" he makes a polite bow.
"Come sit down I make you some tea."
"Not necessary master. Don't bother with it"
"You deny my hospitality?"
His head turned pale
"Forgive my rudeness master. I didn't want to offend you."
"It is all cool, relax and take seat."
Neo sits down and I go take some materials converting it to tea.
Finally arriving at the table I pour some for us.
"I think you noticed my slow pace?"
"Yes master."

"You see this watch, it makes the gravitation pull around much higher."
"Woah I have never seen such a watch. As expected of my master."
"Hahaha great isn't it. Tell me how did it went with your family?"
Asking him he smiled.
"It was great my mother shed tears thanking the gods for the miracle. I am sorry but I didn't tell them that it was master's doing so they see it as a miracle. Did I made a mistake?"
"No no , you did great if words spread around that I can cure retardation a lot of people would seek me out. It would be such a hassle."
Hearing my answer Neo became relived.
"Well let's get down to business. You see, in the near future I will encounter strong people, that is why I am training restless. I will have a lot enemies. That is why I need you to become strong."
"Of course master, I don't want to be a burden."
"There is way to make you stronger in a short while but it will have side effects. Worst case you could die."
"I take the gamble. I am fed up with being looked down upon."
"Good go lay down on the table."
I take the remaining adamant ore and some mana crystals. With this I am going to enchant his body.
I wanted to it on myself but with this I can test the effects without putting myself in danger.
Arriving at the table I put my materials beside him.
"Are you ready? It could hurt a lot."
"Yes master"
With one hand I stretch to the pile of materials and with the other hand I touch Neo's body.
Starting the operation the pile and Neo shines, I imagine his bones being infused with the adamant ore.
"Aaaaaah"
He screams in agony and grabs my hand unconsciously.
"Almost there, hang in there."
It took longer then I expected. He screaming voice became sore from all the screaming. Looks like it hurts a lot.
He lost his conscious frequently. He would faint and then wake up screaming. Thirty minuets have passed and I am almost done. The converting took a lot of my mana making me breath heavy sweating.
Having finished the operation he lays there unconscious. Now I just have to wait for him to wake up.
'Will he be alright master?'
'Actually I don't know, I am a madman not a doctor. I destroy things, not repair them.'
_ _ _ _
About two hours later he wakes up.

"Yo everything alright?"
"I'll manage master."
He stands up and stands in front of me. In the chest area he is coated with the adamant ore. He looks like a cyborg. Cool stuff.
"Man you look so badass."
"Thank you master."
"Wait a moment"
I make a concrete dummy.
"Here with this you can test your power. Just punch it with all your might."
He nods and is going for the shot.
His punch speed was really impressive cutting the air. On contact the concrete dummy was no more. Hell he even pulverized it.
"Hahahahaha, this is great."
With his new gained power Neo became dumbstruck. He couldn't believe how powerful he has become.
"Master this is.. this is such a great gift. Not did you only safe me from a life of misery you also gave me immense power. I am forever in dept to you."
"This is the least I can do for my followers."
"Thank you master, thank you so much"
In the next hour we tested his new capabilities. I cut him with a steel sword but it didn't even left a scratch. I can't wait to enchant myself but for that I need something more better then adamant. I won't settle for second rate ore.
I want to test Neo's new powers and to do that we need some real action. Dummies just won't do. We need monsters, the scary kind with big claws that could rip you apart.
"Do you want to go for a hunt,to test your new powers?"
"That would be interesting master, I also want to know my limits."
"That's the spirit boy. Wait I'll make us some neat weapons."
I take some mana crystals and make a sword for Neo. It is a long sword with magical enchantment. It has a red hue and is enchanted with fire magic.
"Here take this. It is now yours."
"Such a great gift master, thank you."
"Only the best for my people."
Going back to my mana crystal dispenser I think of weapon that suits me. Hmm, what about a sword ? Nah that's really common I want something special. Further thinking I get a really nice idea.
Why limit myself with this medieval shit, I make me a gun fuck it.
I am such a genius hahahah. I can't wait to make me hand gun. I won't make just a plain one. Having such great power I also could make me magical ammunition. Like fire bullets, electric bullets, bullets that explode, bullets that pierce any heavy armor. Without further ado I take all my mana crystals. I also need a battle suit. Something like a cape and a mask. In my mind thousands of ideas pop up I hope I have enough materials.
I start with the gun, I take some crystals and convert them into a revolver. I think a revolver is the ideal weapon so I can change my ammunition accordingly to the situation. I imagine a 44. Magnum revolver. The pile shines and turns into frightening hand canon. The gun is of silver color with runes engraved. The revolver has six chambers Man this is so cool. I don't even need a license.
I also make me different kinds of ammo.For now the explosive kind and piercing kind should do. In total I make about 30 rounds. 15 of the explosive kind and 15 of the piercing kind.
Now I make me a mask. Every cool villain needs a mask. You can't go around killing people while showing your identity. Your private life would disastrous alway on the run.
Well first I need to think of the design. A full steel mask covering my face should look frightening enough. Thinking further it also should come with functions. A scifi helmet with a artificial intelligence would be cool, that warns me in crucial situations. I also need sensors that can scan for life forms in the area. Knowing where my enemy are is a huge advantage. Also night vision and thermal vision would be nice. Last but not least I also needs to have a voice changer, no one would take me serious with a child's voice.
Having thought up all the features it needs I start to convert the materials to my desired mask, well actually it is a helmet.
I also make me a magic resistant coat, that also can block physical attacks. Plus a combat knife for close ranged fights, of course it with magical enchantment.
With everything finished I know put everything on me. I even made me a shoulder holster. Inside my coat there are little slots for my ammo.
The whole time Neo stood there astonished without saying a word. I think he needs to get used to my converting power.
"Master what kind of weapon is that silver think."
"This is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off."
"A handgun?"
"A handgun fires projectiles in high velocity."
"Woah that's cool master."
I sometimes forget that Neo is still a child with him acting like a butler.
"Isn't it hahahahahaha"
I boot up my helmet.
"Welcome master Thorus how is your day" a male voice greets me.
"Fucking great"
"That's good to hear, please give me a name."
"Your name shall be Jarvis"
"Name: Jarvis registered."
"Now Neo lets head out?"

The answer to an overpopulated, unemployed, robot replaced, under-resourced, power crisis, climate crisis, a poverty-stricken world, where the few have and most have not? It took a few decades of technology development, a few genius minds, and a few corporate takeovers, and a planet in crisis. Yet that answer should be obvious. * * * This is a first time writing attempt. I have no idea what's going to happen or where this story is headed. I simply had an idea for a story I wanted to explore. Fanfiction elements. I hope to release monthly, no guarantees though. * * * Unknown Cover Art
