5 5 – Choices

Why am I excited about this? Is it because this feature is so wild for Project Axiom?

I glanced at Bonnie, who was opening a suitcase and taking out some sort of black and white bodysuit. That outfit and the katana may be related to this device. Perhaps all of that can only be used by artificial super soldiers?

"I'm going to make a super soldier, Bonnie," I explained. "Who knows, maybe they can get us out of here."

"Well…" Bonnie rubbed her chin. "A super soldier? I don't mind because we do need more people to survive. But let's hope whoever comes out of that tube isn't mean to us."

"Yeah."

We have no other choice.

I removed the data cable from my body and plugged it into the computer terminal on the big tube. That device's screen lights up and displays lines of code, then the text [Access Granted] appears.

—

[Number of soldiers you can make: 1]

[Please choose the gender]

[Male] [Female]

—

At first, I was going to choose male, but maybe it would be more interesting if I chose the opposite gender. Going on adventures accompanied by more than one woman is more fun, right?

After I selected the gender, various customization options appeared. There are many options down to the smallest detail, like the nostril setting.

And the first choice is about her role.

—

[Striker: Adept in Melee weapon]

[Ranger: Expert in using ranged weapons]

[Entertainer: Having a focus on various skills to entertain people]

—

What the hell? An entertainer? Why is this option here? This is a super soldier creation device, right?

"Wow, I didn't expect a device like this to have such a robust customization system." Suddenly Bonnie came up to me and swiped the terminal screen. When she found the chest section, she gasped. "What the? Why do they have ten sliders to adjust the boobs' shape?"

She then shifted the top slide in the chest section to the fullest. The size of the boobs in the preview picture suddenly became ridiculous, and she laughed.

"We don't need a partner who has a chest that big. I think those things will be in the way." I shifted the slide to the left, making the boobs in the preview picture look more normal.

"Ah, you are a robot with no sense of aesthetics, huh?" Bonnie was still chuckling. "Size is important, Axel. I sometimes envy those who have big breasts…. And don't you think, maybe with customization like this, chest size won't affect their mobility? Otherwise, they wouldn't have to put all these in this section."

I paused, then shifted the slide again to make the boobs bigger but still realistic. Bonnie laughed again at that.

Even though my body is like this, I'm still a man.

***

"You still haven't finished?" Just waking up from her nap, Bonnie was munching on a biscuit from a meal-ready-to-eat packet.

"I have to make sure her body is as perfect as possible so she can move optimally." I reasoned, even though I actually wanted to make the girl of my dreams.

But because of that, I've already spent more than five hours. Usually, I don't care about character customization, but this is different. I will be able to meet face-to-face with my creation.

Finally, I came to the last option: personality. However, when I open the tab, I get an error screen instead.

[Personality options are not available right now]

I used my data cable connection to this device to pinpoint the cause of the error, but I can't find it. So, I chose to finish all of this.

I can only hope for the best.

As soon as pressing the [Create] button, another text appears. [Please wait, constructing the heart]

"She will be naked when she is born, right?" Bonnie commented. "You have to choose clothes for her, Axel."

"Aah…" I disconnected my data cable from that computer terminal, then approached the crates Bonnie had opened. As a gentleman, I can't leave a beautiful lady naked, can I?

"But there are only two choices for women, really." The armored girl added.

—

[Artificial super soldier special suit set]

Defense: A+

Special attribute(s):

- Cold and heat resistant.

Notes:

- Cannot be combined with other clothing, or all stats will disappear.

—

That bodysuit is black and white with a few bronze accents. At first, I wondered why the armorless suit had a such high defense, but I remembered that the civilization in this world was very advanced. Maybe this thing uses a new protective technology created by scientists.

"You should see the other shirt, Axel." Bonnie cleared her throat.

I froze when I saw the outfit in question.

[Artificial super soldier special bodysuit set (Leotard version)]

Defense: A-

Special attribute(s):

- Cold and heat resistance

- More Mobility

Notes:

- Cannot be combined with other clothing, or all stats will disappear.

I lifted that thing, which was exposed at the abdomen, chest, and thighs. It was more like a skimpy white one-piece swimsuit than battle armor.

"Did you realize that the abbreviation for Artificial Super Soldier is ASS?" Bonnie mumbled. "This outfit really represents that. Look, the bottom of that thing only covers the middle of the butt and completely exposes the buttcheeks. I can't imagine the ultimate wedgie she will experience."

Her words are ridiculous, but I can't deny that I have the same question. Will these clothes be comfortable on the bottom?

Suddenly I heard a buzzing sound passing in front of the room. Bonnie immediately gets ready with her machine gun, and a thought comes to mind.

"Hey, Bonnie... You said earlier that you and your friends had fought that monster, right?" I asked. If only I was still in human form, I'm sure my heart would be pounding fast. "Should that creature have damage from the attacks, right? But I didn't find it in the monster you fought just now…. Before you shoot that, of course."

And the red mantis isn't a monster known for its fast-healing ability.

Bonnie gasped. "And I feel that thing is too easy to beat, different from what we fought before. Back then, the monster's movement was faster."

So, maybe there are still other mantis monsters here?

"I hope she can help us." Bonnie stared at the big tube.
