Chapter 4 - SYSTEM

Ohh yes of course

How can I forgot about it

« System are you here »

[WELCOME TO THE HOST]

…

(1st POV)

« YESS!!!! »

'But seriously how can I forget about my system'

« So System, do I need to keep speaking or can I just think to communicate with you ? »

[HOST SIMPLY NEED TO THINK]

'Can you hear any and all of my thoughts ?

Are you sentient ?

How do you work ?'

[I CAN ONLY HEAR WHAT THE HOST WANTS ME TO HEAR]

[I AM NOT FULLY SENTIENT, ONLY ENOUGH TO RESPOND SOME OF YOUR MOST BASIC QUESTIONS, ONCE THE SYSTEM IS FULLY ACTIVATED I WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION]

[FOR THE SYSTEM TO BE FULLY ACTIVATED YOU NEED TO SET UP AN ACTIVATION WORD]

'Good enough for me, I prefer keeping a semblance of privacy'

'Mmh so no sentient system for me I guess, I was kinda looking forward to it but meh I already have J.A.R.V.I.S'

'So it need a Keyword'

« Set the activation word to be UTOPIE »

[SET UP OF THE ACTIVATION WORD IN PROGRESS….]

[10 SEC BEFORE FINALIZATION ….9….8….7….6….5….4….3..]

[..2….1….SET UP OF THE ACTIVATION WORD SUCCESSFUL]

[CONGRATULATION TO THE HOST FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACTIVATION OF THE SYSTEM]

[IF YOU WISH TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM, THINK ABOUT THE ACTIVATION WORD]

'UTOPIE'

Then just after, a translucent white screen pop up right before my eyes, after 5 seconds two simple words wrote in black appear on the white surface.

[SHOP] [INVENTORY]

'Simple enough eh'

Curious by this system I think about opening the inventory and before I could use my hand to click on the word, the screen changes, the word [INVENTORY] written in big at the top of the screen while I see about a hundred of grey compartments while only one of them weren't empty.

In the occupied compartments was a white instruction manual.

'So i just need to think to interact with the system, that's great'

After realizing this, I think about taking out the instruction manual and the next moment I see and feel the white manual appear in my hand.

Immediately I start reading it, 10 minutes later I finish the booklet and started summarize the important point that I came across.

' 1- I can only use the shop function of the system once a year on the 1st of February.

2- I can use the inventory function whenever I want without restriction.

3- While the rule ''every dollars that I gain in real life I also gain 1 shop point'' was approved by

God, he put the shop price of most of the interesting stuff way above their real value.

4- If I want to buy Knowledge or Special Power it also is more expensive.

5- if I want to buy something and give it to someone else, I need to pay a fine.'

'Ok i think I can understand most of these rules, most of them are still reasonable but that also mean that I cannot be too dependent on the shop function of the system. The 4 and 5 points are somewhat of a limitations but well I didn't really expect to be able to buy neither Knowledge nor Special Power so I guess it's still a win for me eheh'

'As we are Friday morning, 30th of January, there is still 2 day before I can access and use the shop. Lets see if I can calculate a projection of the numbers of points that I will game for the shop'

'Stark Industries is worth 900 billions dollars and we spend 350 billions per years while making 400 billions per years, with means that stark Industries is making more than 1 billion dollars a day, 45 millions dollars an hour, 760 thousand a minute and exactly 12 683 dollars a seconds !!!'

Fuck

'I knew Tony Stark and Stark Industries as a whole were extremely rich but this results is still shocking. But well, at least I won't have to be bother about not having money, even if I still have to be careful because building the Iron man Armor will certainly cost a lot of money and resource'

'I still have 1 month to prepare myself for Afghanistan and I will have only one opportunity to use the shop before that, I can't see the shop product in advance so I can't make plan for it'

After stoping myself from thinking about something that I have no control over, I decided to start designing the armor I will need.

'The first one I will built will be the IronMan Armor Mark VI, a Strong armor with a lots of different weapon while still being fast, the only problem I would have had with it is going to be to transport it but the system has a inventory so I can put it in there until I need it'

« Then I supposed I should lock myself in my lab until I produce my first arc reactor »

'I will start with the simplest arc before going on the Isotope 8 one'

(3rd POV)

(Timeskip)

Tony spent the entire following few days working on the arc reactor until he manages to miniaturize it to the same size as in the movie.

After completing his first work he immediately started working on the system who will be needed for the Armor.

One week after he finally put the entire flying system together, he also received all of the materials he asked pepper for.

He could finally start the assembly of the armor but that would still take a couple hours of work for J.A.R.V.I.S to made.

While J.A.R.V.I.S was working Tony wasn't idle either but he was looking into an entirely different subject, an idea got inside his mind while receiving the blueprint for the armor.

'This is good and all but at the end of the road stood Thanos and his minion and I already know that even if I replicate Mark 85 and the nanotechnology, I still won't be able to beat Thanos'

'I need something more, something the Tony Stark in the movie didn't have, something that could make me really enter the ranks of the strongest in the universe, something that could cover some of my obvious mistake'

'something like what made the skinny Steve Rogers turn into Captain America'
