2 RISE OF THE INNOVATER
Miracles are a rare commodity one could get their hands on.
Gifts passed down as legends and myths.
Knowledge passed down for the good of mankind.
Through Knowledge mankind could prosper and understand the greater intimacies of mankind.
As Knowledge gives mankind the ability replicates miracles, the myths and legends of era of gods are forgotten.
But the teachings passed on stays etched to one's soul.
What if a miracle occurred that has no explanation?
Can science explain the unknown?
Maybe with time and effort mankind can achieve the unexpected.
Samuel was having such thoughts as he was feeding the pigeons of Manhattan.
"Living the era of 21st century what a drag" Samuel shakes his head as he thought out loud.
"What do you pigeons think, living in an era of Capital supremacy"
Samuel engages a conversation with the pigeons who were just slanting their head every time he talks to them.
The passersby were just looking at him weird or ignoring him think him as a child who had some screws loose.
But in fact, all these actions had a meaning as he was probing to see if he was in an experimental virtual reality.
Last thing he remembered waking up in this world was the space station exploding as he was working on some AI's that was malfunctioning.
He was thrown out in the vacuum of space as he died in the cold space.
Worst ways to day in an era of Intergalactic war.
Though he lived a good life, he will surely miss his cars he kept in his private garage on Earth.
He woke up in this world in the body of a thirteen-year-old boy.
At first, he thought he was in a dream or vision of his past while he was dying.
But no, it was not.
The sweat running down his body and the breath released from his nostrils told he was well and alive.
He was not sure how the heck it was possible.
Was he in so called afterlife.
He was not a big of a religious guy.
But he still read about religious pantheons and their teachings anyways just for curiosity or to kill time.
It was creepy and freaky at the same time as he was running around his house to see what the heck was happening.
He tried to find a portable holo-pad but what he found was a 21st century cell phone in his room.
When he checked the date and year, he shook his head and blinked multiple times.
19th June 2007.
The only words he could sum up his situation at that time.
"Neat"
But one thing caught his eye was a Hologram floating Infront of his eyes with a loading bar at 69 percent.
First, he thought it was a hoax of some kind.
That he was in an experiment where his consciousness was transferred in a virtual reality.
He was pretty sure he did not sign any forms for his brain to be donated.
Well, the organization he was working with did not have moral obligations to give a fuck.
Maybe they used his neural implants to transfer his consciousness to a new body or preserve it?
But everything felt so real.
His questions were answered when he had a massive headache that made him fall to his bed unconsciousness.
He hated to admit such a theory.
But he might have got Isekaied.
Thirteen years of memories which were not his own was transplanted in his head.
He was Samuel Wick here same as his name which was Samuel Orcus.
He had parents here in this world.
John Wick and Helena Wick.
The names somewhat sound familiar something he can't put a finger on.
He was not sure how to act around them.
He only had a mother in his previous life and his father well, he went to buy milk.
Still, she raised a good boy and was a loving mother.
First things he did was to get his head in order.
He acted like Samuel did with his parents of this world.
Later he used the computer of his father and used it to create high level bugs that would may or may not bash this virtual world.
Sad to say.
21st century codes are piss poor.
He obliterated any firewall in his way.
This world was too real.
Everything down to a single detail was down to perfection.
He went to a shop of a wood crafter with his mother to see if the owner could create precise shaping of the wood.
To his surprise he did.
One thing he could confirm id that he was either more in further in the future where virtual reality technology was too far ahead, or he was really isekaied.
So now he was in New York city Time Square looking at the army of pigeons he gathered feeding some crumps of bird food.
He was looking at the buildings with no holograms but old tech that projected pics on a laminated curtain.
People walking around holding their coffee to work looking at their phones reading the news.
How does anyone get run down while looking at their phones?
At least look at the street signs.
Samuel can only sigh, just like these pigeons these people are air headed some times.
Why is he doing here?
Simple reason.
21st century school sucks.
First it had quieted the glamour as he was in the 21st century but man the things he was being taught were kindergarten stuff for him.
The kids of this century are cringe for him who lived in 25th century.
Talking about Facebook and Twixter and what not.
But he is above that no he is beyond anything they could ever hope to be.
He has 500-year worth of knowledge stocked in his brain which is of the future.
Dealing with Wall Street is like taking a candy from a baby.
First thing he did is hack some lottery funds making him win automatically and no one would know.
Investing on some stock market.
Amazon, Instragram, and other online services would be hit anyway.
His life is set if he lives like this.
Also, he already bought a hidden camera and planted it in classrooms he has to visit for the subjects he took.
Also, a hidden voice recorder to make sure he says "PRESENT" every time to make sure he is in attendance.
He only attends school only to hang out with homies he has considered to be worthy of his time to fuck around.
He has his AI "Schroom" to arrange his notes from the video cams he planted in the class room and notes, HomeWorks and assignments are made and done by him. He had built a machine from scraps that replicated his handwriting so no harm done.
He just has to scan through the work that is compiled by his AI to see what is going on and be off with it.
His IQ really is over 9000.
Now all he does is chill in Time-Square and visit some historical places that were destroyed during his timeline World-War 3 which started t 2120 because of overpopulation and fighting over resources.
Grand Central Park was nice place to chill around.
Now he is here looking at the progress bar Infront of his eyes.
It jumped to 96 percent today when he woke up from his sleep this morning.
So, he decided to not go to school today and left his homies to fend for themselves.
He has more important things he needed to do.
To deal with this floating screen Infront of him.
Either this will be a panel that will take him in a game around this virtual world or it will be a system that will make him stronger making him travel in different world as a mercenary or a group chat.
Typical Isekai troupes with shit plot.
He remembers the time when he was searching for good anime troupes developed using 21st century fanfiction writers.
Man was it a cultural hit at that time.
Most of them were either filled with protagonist with op system with dead braincells.
Horndogs trying get in Heroines pants and NTR the original protagonist.
Either a wish fulfillment to have an imaginary world where a man has everything.
Both Bitches and Riches.
This told him one thing about such fanfic writers.
Either they were losers in real life or attention seekers who get attention from other losers who are in the same position and actually read their fanfics, which is 20 percent of the world's population.
Just like that Samuel Orcus roasted most of the fanfic writers with a snap of his mind.
Samel came out of his musings as the bar reached 99.5 percent.
"Just a little push and I will know which world I am in" Samuel says in a low breath.
The loading bar soon after five minutes reached 100 percent.
Samuel waited with bated breath as the moment of truth came out.
With a flash Infront of his eyes a terminal came.
[WELCOME TO THE DIMESIONAL CHAT GROUP]
"Huh?"
[THIS IS A CHAT GROUP THAT CONNECTS TO PARALLEL UNIVERSE THROUGHOUT THE OMNIVERSE]
"Okay?"
[WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIGN IN AS THE MODERATOR OF THE THIS CHANNEL AND RECEIVE YOUR BENEFITS AND STARTER PACK?]
"Hmm?"
Samuel raised his eyebrows.
[Y/N]
Samuel put his hand on his chin as he contemplated the words said by the screen.
"So, a dimensional chat group like those Isekai troupe, looks kind of sus here"
He was bought in this world without his permission and dropped in an unknown house calling unknown people Mom and Dad.
They are nice people no doubt about it.
But is Samuel Orcus not Samuel Wick.
He did not sign up for this, though it was kind of fascinating and exciting situation for him.
The problem was anything other than the dimensional chat group was not mentioned.
Now they expect him to accept this contract without any guidelines.
Sure he can go on an epic adventure for fun like those excited weebs he read about.
But he has concerns about hidden guidelines of this contract.
Something he learned from his past life while he was roped in a hidden government organization for his skills.
The pay was nice but the risks were greater.
So, he has made his decision.
"No"
The screen blanked out for a minute and disappeared.
[…..]
Why would he go to worlds and risk his life on some missions where there is a 100 percent chance of dying.
Also, he is a normal human with no incredible powers.
Sure, he has incredible knowledge from the future that has made his life set as a winner but still he cannot accept a contract with unknown loop holes.
Yeah, Fuck all that.
His life is good anyways he will enjoy the sigh-seeing here in the 21st century.
So, what will the dimensional chat do now.
[USER IS DROPPING UNEXPECTED OPPURTINITY TO BE SELECTED IN A POWERFUL GROUP]
[USER IS DROPPING OPPURTINITY FOR UNEXPECTED REWARDS]
[THINK AGAIN USER THIS IS ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPUTUNITY]
[Y/N]
"Sure, sure whatever you say buddy" Samel says with a mocking smile.
"You are not the boss of me, I am the master of my own free will" Sam says with a serious face
"No"
[…..]
[EXTRA REWARDS WILL BE GIVEN IF USER AGREES TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CHAT GROUP]
[Y/N]
"....."
"Persistent I like that 'did you think bribing me will make me join your ragtag group with hidden intentions?" Sam says in a threatening tone.
"Get the hint I said "NO" and you should go with it"
[...]
[I DARE YOU TO SAY NO AGAIN]
[Y/N]
Samuel raises an eyebrow at this statement.
"Threatening now, are we? Sad to say I am no one's bitch. So, I say this or what?"
[YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A DANGEROUS WORLD YOU ARE IN]
"Did I ask?"
[...]
"I said did I ask, do you think I give a fuck on what you think or what you would do to me? Bring it on fucker I dare you to punish me"
"I did not ask to be put here, you forced me here "
"What danger are you talking about, you have no idea what I am capable of"
"I can blow this planet with a NOVA bomb and I am sure you know my origin"
"So, answer is "NO" Imma do my own thing"
[I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU TO SAY NO YOU MOTHERFUCKER]
Samuel had an amused smile on his face.
"N- "
Suddenly in a flash Samuel was in a white room sitting on a chair with a white being infront of him.
"The fuck you supposed to be?"
[YOUR MANAGER]
"OOF! So this makes me a Karen"
[EXACTLY MY POINT, YOU TOOK IT OUT OF MY MOUTH]
"I ain't doing what you are telling me to, I am dead and that's it so no thankyou"
[DO YOU EVEN KNOW WERE YOU ARE]
A creepy smile makes on the white silhouettes face.
"No but I can manage"
[Not if you are dead before you can reach your full potential]
"Did I ask? I make my own fate not you"
[Not if it is manipulated]
"Well fuck you them taking my free will"
[YOU JOINING THIS GROUP WAS NOT A REQUEST BUT AN ORDER]
"Should have removed the "NO" option"
[HUMANS REALLY ARE FACINATING CREATIONS, THEY DO THE UNEXPECTED]
"You predicted I would do this?"
[NO BUT I RAN SIMULATIONS AND I TELL YOU, YOU HAVE SOME PATIENCE TO SAY NO]
"So, what are you going to do now threaten me to join in this group"
[YOU ARE AWFULLY CALM ABOUT; DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO I AM AND WHY I DID THIS]
"Don't wanna know, don't care"
[SUCH ATTITUDE IN YOUR LINE OF WORK, I CAN ALREADY IMAGINE WHY YOU DID IT]
"I did some horrible things without knowing and I don't want to be forced to do it again"
[BUT THERE IS NO TURNING BACK FOR ME OR FOR YOU, THERE ARE RULES BROKEN TO SUMMON YOU HERE]
"What am I to you anyway? A sacrifice for the greater good?"
[LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE YOU WON'T BE SENT TO HELL AFTER THIS]
"Haa should have gone to church when I had time, hell exists since I read the bible"
[YES, THERE IS NO TUNING BACK]
"What's the catch, I know you are hiding your mystical ways and stuff"
[YOU WON'T BE FORCED TO DO ANYTHING OVER THE TOP, JUST CERTAIN ELEMENTS THAT NEED CORRECTION]
"Correction?"
[YES SO HERE IS THE DEAL, I PROVIDE YOU WITH A STARTING POWER AND SOME POINTS AS A STARTER PACK AND YOU HELP ME DEAL WITH THOSE ELEMENTS AND AFTER THAT YOU WILL HAVE NO ACCOUNABILITY WHATSEVER]
"Feels like I am missing the black lines on the contract so whatever, where even am I?"
[EVER READ ABOUT HIGHSCHOOL DXD]
Samuel scrunched up his face.
He remembers the wondrous day he discovered Ecchi and hentai in his hormonal years.
He would have to thank his friends for that.
Since VR was there the show was too stimulating.
The embarrassing moments of his life.
But it was good shit to relieve some stress from his studies and work.
He only watched it for the Ecchi but the plot was ass.
Expect after Volume 14 things got interesting.
The Main Character actually died a third time and came back to life.
Talk about plot armor.
The Novel would have gone downhill from there if not for the Sephiroth Graal and Evil Dragon War.
Not to mention Trihexia.
(A/N: SPOILERS ALERT FOR HIGHSCHOOL DXD VOLUMES AND EXE READ ON YOUR OWN VIOLATION)
The ExE volumes were a masterpiece with blood and gore with no ecchi stuff.
Not to mention all of the loose strings were put in place to show why Issei got the perks he got because of luck.
It was simple.
His fate was manipulated by the Gods of fate to use as a Weapon towards the ExE gods.
Which actually went pretty bloody.
Issei died a fourth time and that was it.
His son Ex Gremory was the main character after that.
Talk about drama.
All of the mans dream to become a Harem King and what did he receive after this much luck in life?
Nothing but pain and suffering.
The Harem was there for the coping mechanism to make sure he goes forward with all the trauma; such is the life of the main character.
Used as a tool and thrown away as a tool. Such was his life.
What plot armor? It was all manipulations.
[DID YOU COME OUT OF YOUR THOUGHTS?]
"Hoo yeah "Samuel gave a huge breath.
"A world of Ecchi but in the shadows hidden beneath there is suffering "Samule looks up and gives a thin smile towards his torturer.
[HOW SO]
"Think about it for a minute, The God of the Bible gave sacred gears to humans to fight the supernatural's from oppressing them, but instead they only got used by them as soldiers for their own gains. Tobio Ikusuke the Slash Dog was used by Azazel as a Task Force along with Lavina Reni. Issei Hyouddo used as a pawn to get away from a loveless marriage. Sephiroth Graal used by the devils to cause Havok around the world, not only that but gave chance for ExE to invade their world" Samule said it with a blank face
"The God of the Bible made all of that and gave it away like candy to protect humans, but all it did was become a catalyst that will prolong suffering"
[BUT IT WORKED OUT FOR ALL OF THEM IN THE END?]
"Did it now? Did you even analyze the novel properly. It only worked out because it was set that way. But what if? You told me there is a multiverse, right? So, tell me did it work out there?"
[....]
[Haa should I be glad or afraid that you have an analytical mind. Anyways that's why you are here to make things right]
"Hypocrisy much don't you think?"
[....]
[Free Will has consequences, I accept the failures of my creation but can you accept your sins?]
"...….."
Samule was looking down not to making eye contact, no one is without sins.
[Why don't you show me your ideal way, the path you forge. Show me what a human can do who is the mirror image of God.]
"Huh?" Sam made a confused expression.
[The greatest creation there ever was made by God was not the sacred gears but people who wiled them]
[Currently now you are the most capable human on the planet]
[Show me what you can achieve being a human or by Impersonating the abilities of God]
[You can't do it can you? Mimic the abilities of God?]
A big smile makes way on Samules's face.
"Is that a challenge"
[Can you keep up]
"I like it, I'll take the challenge"
Without Samuel noticing there was a smile on the white figures face. A genuine smile.
A screen made Infront of Samuels which was the same one.
[WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENTER THE GROUP CHAT?]
[Y/N]
"Yes" Samuel spoke with a resolute expression.

[Innate Ability: Pioneer of the stars]
Samule held his chin and checked his status.
It was no surprise he worked out a lot as he had enough time to spare.
His intelligence is obvious he had several knowledge on different fields in the 25th century.
But one thing caught him off-guard.
"Innovate Clear? Of all the things you could give me? Not to mention chances are the person who previously stole it will try to kill me for it" Samule had a Pikachu face when he saw that.
"Not to mention the most complicated and closed off sacred gear. It can only make an Ideal world where creatures can only be made and kept there. It does have both ability of Dimension Lost and Annialation Maker. How do you expect me to use thi-"
Before Samuel Could continue, he soon heard the sound of birds and people looking at him strange as they are walking by.
Soon an old grandma came forward and looked him up.
"You all right dear" The Grandma looks at Samuel with concern
"No, I am not someone tricked me and left with a trouble some gift" Samuel would have been seething and screaming if not for having this conversation.
The Grandma came and sat on the left side of the bench.
"Well, it can't be that useless can it. You can use it however you want. It is the person who uses it that makes the most of it"
The old lady put a hand on her bah and bough a packet of breadcrumbs and some chocolate.
"Here have some"
Samule looked down her hand and then looked towards his eyes.
He cannot see malice; he is mature enough to see that.
"Thanks, I will have it later"
Samule takes it and keeps it in his pocket.
"So, what will you do now"
The old lady took breadcrumbs and spread it to the birds who promptly too up to themselves to clean the streets of it.
Samule hunched back and thought about his decision and looked at the screen.
There was note in it.
[PS: IT HAS THE CONCEPT ON CREATION IN IT SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GOING WILD. IT IS YOUR WORLD SO BRING IT TO LIFE]
Bring it to life?
Something he needs to think about.
He has Ideas and he needs to implement it.
He cannot start using this new toy right off the bat now, can he?
No, he needs to mask this Longinus signature.
Samule looked at the screen and the Credit points.
He needs to check the rules of his authority.
Samule opened the screen with a mental command.
Then a saw some new messages which he promptly called upon.
[AUTHORITY OF ADMIN]
[1) MUTING PEOPLE WHEN THERE IS A FIGHT IN THE CHAT]
[2) DISABLING TEAMMATES FROM KILLING EACHOTHER. USED ONLY WHEN A FIGHT BREAKS OUT]
[3) RETREAT OPTION TO TAKE AWAY TEAM MATES IF THEY ARE SEVERLY INJURED OR CLOSE TO DEATH]
[4) BANNING PEOPLE FOR DAYS IF THEY HAVE MISBEHAVED IN THE CHAT GROUP]
[5) KICKING OUT PEOPLE FROM THE DIMESIONAL CHAT GROUP IF THE TEAMMATE BECAME A LIABILITY OR HAVE THREATENED THE MEMBERS OF THE CHAT GROUP]
"Neat"
Samuel was taken aback by this.
That was some hardcore rules there.
One he could use to the fullest.
Another prompt came in Infront of the screen.
[THERE ARE FIVE INVITES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND THEM]
[Y/N]
Samule chose yes with a mental command.
No turning back now.
[INTIALIZING]
[INVITE SENT]
Samule used his mental command to get the shop options.
All of the Group Chat have shops.
He went there and checked up some of the items that will mask his signature presence he scrolled down with mental commands and found one skill that caught his attention.
[Yu-Illhans- Pancosmic Loner-Level-1- 10000]
Ten thousand credits right of the bat.
A worthy purchase.
A Hiding skill that can even pry away the eyes of a creation god.
He read the Novel "Everyone else is a returnee"
A great find truly.
He gave a mental command and bought it.
[WOULD YOU LIKFE TO CONFIRM THE PURCHASE?]
[Y/N]
"Yes"
Like that a powerful skill was bought.
[Pansomic Loner: A powerful skill that belonged to a creation god. This skilled not even evaded only strong opponents but high-level gods. Only when leveling up the skill only them user can reach such level.
The skill will lose its effect if only a God is actually paying full attention. If not then it will remain active.
Only when the user reveals his position only then will the presence be revealed]
Greatest skill of the century.

Now he can sneak up on his dad.
A crazed smile made on Samuel's face.
If people could notice him, they would have been freaked out.
Samule got up and went off towards his home leaving a clueless old lady trying to find him.
He needs to do some plans but now he would go to the subway and catch a train to go home.
His main concern to plan on to using his Longinus Innovate Clear.
As an Innovator he has some wild ideas.
Thanks to the great otakus and fanfiction writers he can absolutely abuse his Longinus to the Limit.
