Space Station
Hector P.O.V.
I divide my subordinates based on how close I am to them.
It is a little more complex than it seems, but it can be simplified by "people that I am constantly in contact with" and "people that I leave to their own devices". Of course, I keep an eye on everyone because this last group is where I put the dickheads.
Even when I can use bio-fission, my time is limited, so the second group will naturally grow more than the first. I can only have a limited number of people in my inner circle, after all.
And the second group can't be ignored because they are problematic, so the way to prevent trouble from appearing is to increase the Relationship Loyalty with those dickheads.
What is also time-consuming. There are some I can increase Relationship Loyalty for by "taming" them with strength, or other unconventional methods, but not everyone is like that.
Tatsumaki, for example, I left her alone for now because it would be counter-productive to be too clingy. It is a different approach from Raven. Tatsumaki is the one who comes to annoy me and ask for something to do if I don't reach out first. She gets bored pretty easily… And she is a tsundere.
The Relationship Loyalty didn't increase much after I defeated her, but it was also a big jump, so it's only natural.
The finish line is for every summon to become fully independent in their roles, and also to go completely native if necessary.
Helena, Tatsumaki, and Virgil easily fell into their hero roles. All of them are already pretty famous in their own right, with fan clubs and everything…
Don't ask me to talk about Tatsumaki fans…
Virgil achieved the expected popularity among the black community, though that was not the objective(he is as charismatic as Spider-Man, so it was easy for him). My group is naturally diverse; it is not a checklist that I am trying to complete. But anyone can choose their favorite heroes based on their own biases.
Like the Tatsumaki fans…
Seriously, and she didn't want to wear pants at first. Watching Edna chew her out was fun, though. 'Tornado Terror? It will be a terror if people can see the Eye of your tornado!!' Ah, Edna, never change…
"Thinking about it… when will T'Challa debut?" I ask loudly, my chin between my fingers.
He is one of those characters that I need to keep an eye on because his actions create a huge effect on others, and most geniuses are pricks.
"Meh, when he starts dealing with his family matters, I will pay attention to his every move." I eventually shrug. I have other priorities.
Along the same lines, having people from different nationalities in my group operating in their countries of origin is good for PR. Who doesn't want to have a hero from their country? Someone to claim as one of yours.
The ultimate objective is for every human to be primarily proud of the planet in general, but until then, we can use patriotism to grow in popularity and push my agenda.
And when people from all over the globe are a part of one group, that is when a union starts.
Juri is very popular, even with her personality and attitude. How many CEOs' sons has she kicked in the balls until now? I am starting to think they have a fetish for that… Not gonna judge, but they really should stop trying to poach her so forcefully. I don't want to intervene.
"Gonna put on my to-do list to check on Luna Snow and Juri later." The singer got popular since the party, and I know how the industry swallows shining stars like her.
And back to my line of thought about my summons, from the second group that I let roam free, the ones starting their careers in their own country… they need to increase now.
Every continent, every country will have one of mine…
So it is time to summon everyone who was on standby.
Hm, at least, almost everyone… let's put aside the ones I will not summon just yet. Half… I will summon half.
Seriously, I can't bring everyone. Look at this list…
Stormfront… Yeah, this one was not recycled yet because her power can be used as a gift.
Siegmeyer needs a good moment and place to come; the guy is not really that useful, but it will be fun to have him if I want to embark on a medieval-themed adventure.
Deep Sea King can wait a little more.
Reinrassig from Ben 10 too… I will need to beat some sense into those guys.
I still don't know who Rumi is, but she came from a place with K-pop in the name; she can wait.
These porn girls can remain as cards, too. Someone is literally called Porno Diamond, and Almeria is from Taimanin. I know what they are.
I don't have a place to put Kerrigan. And that applies to all the alien people, like Liara and Cad Bane.
"Cortana, put on my schedule to prepare a spaceship for a crew."
"Done, Master."
I thought about letting Liara help here on the Space Station, but Cortana and GLaDOS have everything under control.
Some beasts, like Madam Eight-Legs and the ones from Monster Hunter, can wait, too.
"The priority will be the people who will need some time to get accustomed to this world and take their posts." It is time to fill the planet with my subordinates.
Ugh, this will take some time. I like spending at least an afternoon talking with the new summons. It needs to be done over the course of several days…
I open the Essence tabs, my fingers moving around the columns to the first… It needs to be an easy one…Someone I know… Someone simple… Someone good…
My finger pauses on a card.
"Oh, there is a risk, but nothing I can't deal with…"
......
"Hello, citizens! Are you my new childr- Eh, you are older than normal, and only one instead of four, but that is not a problem!" The superheroine greets me with an upbeat personality.
I stare at Planetina for a second before looking at my hand, the four elemental rings on each finger. I did not expect her to come like this, but meh… It works for me.
"Hello??" She approaches, worried. "Are you spacing out? Are you okay?"
"...Heh, aren't you kind?" I smile. I can feel that she is a genuinely nice gal.
"It is my duty to worry about every living being." She replies in a typical hero fashion, with such honesty that it is touching.
"I see… No need to worry about me; I am tougher than I seem. In truth, I am even stronger than you." I smile
"Heh, okay." Her face is patronizing, and the small smile that shows her dimples is evidence enough that she is not taking me seriously.
So she is seeing me as a child and is indulging in my delusions, huh… That can't stand.
"Planetina…" I raise my hand to show the four fingers with the rings. This Walmart Captain Planet needs to learn a little lesson. "...I am more than your master."
Whoosh
I use my full speed to disappear and reappear behind her. I can imagine her eyes widening, but I can only see the back of her head. I grab it and yank her off the ship through the reinforced glass window.
Crash
It is chaos. The air starts being sucked from this section of the station while the place is sealed. The window would be sealed, too, but Cortana understands what I am doing.
Planetina is nice… A really nice hero. An example of how a hero should be… I would not do this if I didn't know that she needs a firm hand to be stable.
I am gonna treat her well afterward, but better make it clear that she follows my orders so she doesn't go on a rampage against some miners or a company that caused an oil spill or a big forest fire.
I watch her roll in the vacuum for a while, unharmed, before she stabilizes herself and stares at me.
I float to the hole in the glass, the air still being sucked, moving my hair in her direction… Her eyes widen in realization that I am not a normal human.
'I am more than your master… we are gonna be partners.' I send a telepathic message, smiling and making sure to disperse any bad air between us. 'What about a little spar?'
The surprise on her face makes space for a valiant smile, and she readies her fists.
'That is the spirit!' My smile also matches hers, and I dash so that we can fight away from the space station. I also made sure to change my build and hair back to Eidolon.
You never know who could be watching, and we are moving away from the Station cloak shields.
......….
"Wow! That is a first!" Planetina exclaims in surprise. Our battle ended, and we are chilling on a floating asteroid, relatively far from Earth. "Never thought my rings would be wielded by someone like you."
"And that is the beginning of a great partnership, my dear." I smile at her while we eat some food I had on my Sky Poison Pearl. Around us, a bubble with artificial gravity and air keeps the area habitable. "I don't plan to let you do everything alone… I want you to fight the battle for nature, but with true guidance and support. More than just words."
"Don't be like that… Words of my previous children are enough to give me the strength to fight the good cause." She smiles brightly after taking a sip of her juice.
I don't hide the contempt in my gaze, knowing very well how her "children" turned out. "Anyway, Planetina… We are on this together now." I smile and grab her hand just to gauge her reaction.
"Ah… okay." She answers a little shyly
"..." Okay… she is easy.
No surprise that she fell for an awkward teen that quickly.
"But first, let me make one thing clear, Planetina." My tone gets serious, and she nods eagerly. "It doesn't matter what the humans are doing, don't do anything harsh against them…"
"..." She looks surprised that I am even mentioning something like this. Yeah, you can't imagine yourself hurting humans… now.
"We are gonna try to guide them in a state of perfect coexistence with our beautiful planet. It will be hard, it will take some time, it will be painful… but heroes are not quitters." I grab her two hands and look deeply into her eyes. "Heroes don't choose the easy path."
A little trashy to mix some seduction innuendo on this, but the Relationship Loyalty is increasing because of my charisma and heroic words, which shows that I am on the right track.
"Yes…" She says, a little breathlessly, amazed really.
That would be an excellent moment to kiss her… but… no.
"The path will be challenging, but together… we will reach the end. And save both humans and the planet."
"Yes." She says a little more energetically.
And then lunges forward to kiss me.
"Mpfh!"
Oooookay… I completely lost control of this relationship's progress, but I am an adaptable fella.
.......
After a little awkward talk with Planetina, she apologized for being so forward, and we ended up on good terms.
She is gonna watch the course on this world and read the booklet. After that, we can have a deeper talk about our future. In both our plans to save the world and this derailed relationship.
"Now who is next?" I open the tabs with my cards and pause in a certain one. "Well, this one I don't think it will kiss me… I hope."
......….
"Then let me get this straight… I was in my world, but now I am in this world that is the same as my previous one." Zangief asks with his heavy Russian accent.
We are sitting side by side while staring at the blue Earth beyond a thick glass wall that was repaired after I threw Planetina through it.
"Not exactly, but where it counts, you are right… Mostly the same. World Wars, USSR, Russia… It is just that things that you would only see in movies exist. Like aliens, robots…"
"I know that robots are real; I already crushed them between my thighs." he slaps his thigh to make his point strong.
"I see… my bad… Your world is pretty fantastical, but this one is on several levels above." Then I smile innocently. "This puts you at the base of the pyramid of strength. Being a little too honest, you are weak, better than normal humans, but very weak."
That takes a big reaction from the big man. "I am strong!" He puffs his chest
"Relatively to the normal person, yes, but not to the special people walking around… And you are absolutely nothing to the heavy-hitters." I raise my hand to stop him from interrupting. "I am not being mean; it is simply the reality. Some people here can destroy cities with ease, and that is still on the medium level."
"..." He looks like he doesn't believe me.
"Let me take you to watch a movie explaining, after that, we can discuss what you want to do."
"What do I want?"
"Yeah… Despite the circumstances, you will still have your freedom. You are not a Bad Guy." I joke "If you want to be part of the crazy part of this world, I am gonna help you with a boost in your raw strength. If not, you can pursue whatever normal career you want… Continue as a wrestler, or maybe you wanna take this second chance and do something different."
If the character is not a villain, I don't mind taking the loss and letting them free.
Maybe they will come around eventually, too. I am a patient, immortal man.
"Hmmmm." Zangief scratches his beard. "I first want to know what I need to know."
"A wise decision." I stand up. "Let me take you to watch the course… I prepared some borscht for you."
"Oh! You have good taste!" He laughs and stands up too.
"...yeah." It is pretty easy to be a good host to those stereotypical characters. Well, Juri is not the average Korean girl, but Zangief is the Russian that the whole world thinks Russians are.
It is like Guile being the ultimate American.
And I will try not to think what this means when we consider Blanka… Like, electrical powers? Give us fire.
"There is vodka too…"
"YAY! Hahahaha!"
"..." I like this dude.
......…..
There are a bunch of women now… yikes.
And they are all problematic!
Not this one at least.
I take the card and use it immediately. I don't even need a [Background Customization Card] with this one.
The card disappears in motes of light that form a feminine figure.
Virgo, the maid spirit from Fairy Tail, stands before me in her maid uniform, with short pink hair and blue eyes. The most notable features, beyond her anime curvy figure, are the shackles around her wrists and her expressionless face.
"A pleasure to meet you, Master." She bows deeply, a hand over her chest, while she stares at me with unblinking eyes
"Hello, Virgo."
"..."
"..."
There is not much we can talk about. She is already very loyal because of her nature as a Celestial Spirit.
[Virgo
Relationship Loyalty: (8/10)]
Better than that, only if she were like Cortana or GLaDOS. I bet other spirits are not as loyal as she is, like Aquarius, for example. Only her personality is easy to deal with.
"You must have noticed that you are not in your world. Or even in a world connected with the Spirit World."
"Yes." She nods, seemingly unaffected.
"You can't go back and be summoned temporarily like it normally goes, so you will be living with me full-time.
"I see no problem with that."
"Good. Let me take you to your direct boss and your fellow maid."
I open a portal to my home, knowing that I will find Isabella there. Today is one of those days when she is not with the Stepford Cuckoos.
Virgo follows me, and we find Isabella in one of the many rooms of the Infinite Castle with her only subordinate for now.
"You should memorize the layout of this place." Isabella says in an austere voice
"But… it is very confusing… and you change it constantly…" Quinta, or Quin, previously known as Baby 5, replies with a teary voice.
"I already explained to you that there are some things that I don't change. It makes sense when you understand it. I designed it in this way to confuse enemies but to allow our allies to be able to move around freely." Isabella retorts strongly.
I decided to interrupt. "Don't be so hard on Quin, Isabella. She is trying her best."
"Master…" She turns to me
"Master!" Baby 5 jumps excitedly and hugs me without any decorum.
Isabella frowns, but I don't mind. Seriously, she is the one who wants to keep the appearance of being my maid in a formal capacity. She can chill at any time.
"Don't be soft on her, Master." Isabella comments, approaching
"You don't need to be hard on her… As long as she solves that co-dependency issue with your and Harley's help, I will be satisfied." I say while patting Baby 5's back.
"And this is…?" Isabella's eyes are on Virgo, standing beside me
"You must already have guessed." I say, "Congratulations, your battalion of maids just increased in size." I clap slowly, a happy expression on my face as I congratulate her. "This is Virgo."
Only Baby 5 accompanied me in the celebration, though.
"I really don't need any more help." Isabella says curtly.
"Maybe not now, but one day, yes. Better have maids trained to your standards when the time comes." I argue. "And if you have Quin or Virgo on your beck and call, you can choose if you wanna put your efforts into the Stepford Cuckoos and keep them taking care of my home. Or vice versa. You can teleport, but not be in two places at the same time."
"I could if you gave me cloning power." She retorts
"Don't overwork yourself, Isabella." I give her a look.
"You are constantly overworking yourself."
"Exactly, and that is why I need more people to lessen my burden. I am training people till the day I can fully rely on them with important matters." I speak seriously. "And you should do the same."
"...very well. I will have." Isabella eventually bows slightly
"Excellent. Come, Virgo, greet the Head Maid."
The three maids introduce themselves, and things go smoothly. They are all professional enough, and Isabella's initial unwillingness to take Virgo didn't sour the mood.
"I will leave her to you now, Isabella." I say
"I will train her to your standards, Master."
"Don't worry, Virgo will be easy. I already sent her information to your wrist device." I point at her wrist before opening a portal again. "There is another maid, but she is crazy, and I don't want to overwhelm you." Better to dump Almeria from Taimanin on Isabella after I do some work on her personally later.
The next one is a little complicated, but I am already used to dealing with her type.
......
TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA
"..." I think it took too long for me to finally be riddled with bullets by a crazy chick. But I thought I would be stabbed first, like… levels, right?
Jinx pulled her mini-gun and started blasting me after we had a little talk. To be fair, I kinda dug too deep to see how damaged her mind is…
This result is enough of an answer.
On one hand, this is nothing to me; the bullets are hitting my body like raindrops, but on the other hand, that is the first time a summon has tried to hurt me like this.
She doesn't know that I am bulletproof. Of course, she didn't attack me at first, and I kinda provoked her breakdown, but this just confirms that I should be careful.
Mentally unstable characters shouldn't be summoned if I am not much stronger than them
Too bad for the reality-warping yanderes. My foresight is incredible because I haven't summoned Monika… Albeit I believe that she shouldn't be all-powerful in this world.
Well… time to heal and increase the Relationship Loyalty with her.
TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA
The bullets are flying so fast that they look like yellow lasers. Jinx shouts her heart out, her feet almost being dragged back by the recoil.
For dramatic effect, I let them hit my skin, bounding off in my skintight suit, as I approach her slowly, arms slightly open to make my intentions clear.
The closer I get, the nastier her aim becomes. My head, heart, and my crotch are the primary targets… Crazy women, huh? They always go for the heart or the genitalia.
Even walking slowly, I reach her quickly enough and push the barrel of the gun aside.
Jinx's face is still out of it, maybe reviving some fucked up memory or fighting her demons. Geez, is this a mix of both Arcane and the base game version? Like a Jinx that just spiraled and spiraled till she became the Joker of Runeterra.
Seeing that the mini-gun is out, she reaches for her Zapper, but I pull her into a hug before she can do anything.
"Jinx…" I speak softly "There, there…" I pat her head soothingly.
She stiffens, but at least doesn't react aggressively. I was prepared for her to fight like a rabid dog in my grasp.
Hm, she is very thin… Not in a "petite woman" thin… It is an unhealthy thin, like a crackhead. She looks so fragile.
It is awakening my male protective instincts of "I can fix her".
"Are you okay?" I ask while she palms my body as if looking for the bullet holes. "It is okay, I am not hurt."
"Aah… Ugh… Gah…" Some strange sounds escape her throat, as if her mind and mouth are not agreeing. Her stormy emotions have no outlet, and she can't explain herself.
Her violet eyes look at my face and body erratically, like she can't grasp reality, and then…
…she collapses, head hanging back loosely. I make sure to put my hand behind her head to not strain her neck, but I am sure her body is strong enough to not need my intervention, even if I let her fall to the ground.
Wow, her hair is really long.
"..." But now I have an unconscious woman in my eyes.
Should I wake her up? I kinda had a whole script on how this interaction would happen, so this interaction needs to happen.
"Whatever, she could sleep for now. I will just delay it." No point in forcing things. My script can still be useful later on.
I will put this woman in a room and send Harley any information that I have about Jinx…
Hm? Now I remembered… I don't like to use it, but this is a special case.
I am gonna use [Heaven's Door] stand power to learn her backstory. There are simply too many variables. From there, we can work on making her a more stable individual.
There is also the chance that she is as bad as the Joker and doesn't want to be "healed"... if that happens…
I will still try once. She is already here after all; it would be a dick move to throw her into a volcano like this.
There will always be a time to throw her into a volcano later.
......
"So I am removed from a shitty world where I had a shitty job, to come to a shitty world and have a shitty job?" Kishibe from Chainsaw Man says with a tired tone.
"At least, you are young again." I point out.
"True. I haven't had those smooth joints for a long time." He rolls his shoulders
"And the job is not shitty… I am a better employer than the Japanese Government and Makima. This is not a Black Company, and I will not kill you horrifically." I continue with my argument
"My dream job…" He deadpans, patting himself as he looks for a cigarette. No smoking here, buddy. "So, what will you have me be doing around here?"
"You adapted fast, but I guess that is expected… First, apparently, you lost your powers because they are contracts. It is rare for that to happen when I bring people here, but I can easily give you some powers as substitutes. And you don't even need to give up anything." I explain "And later I plan to create a special force with not-so-strong subordinates, to do more tactical operations and offer support to the heavy hitters."
"So I am not-so-strong, huh?"
"You will be surprised when you see for yourself…"I give him an empathetic look.
"Now I noticed that you argued about the job being less shitty than my previous one, but you say nothing about this world being better." He scratches his head
"Too late to back out now."
"..."
......…
I think I made a mistake.
"Mou, Master~ Give me attention."
"No! Me!"
What came to me was what made me decide to summon both Vermeil and Blair at the same time.
Did I think they would be easy to deal with? Maybe because the two have purple hair. Thank god I didn't summon Shura Kirigakure, too.
The devil and the monster cat are not hard to deal with, but they are problematic in their own way.
"You two fell into the role pretty easily." I comment while boobs are sandwiching me. The two voluptuous bodies are being pressed against mine while they sit on my lap.
"How could we not? You look like an apt master." Vermeil says the word "apt" as if she were saying "delicious". Her tone is honeyed as she shamelessly brings her face very close to mine and runs a finger along my muscles.
"Nyah! We can't complain." Blair acts cutely, rubbing her body against mine in a cat-like way.
But when she is a curvy woman, this is nothing but a very lewd act.
"Girls…" I start. I can see Cortana staring at me and recording this interaction to send to Shego and the others. "It is great that you two are so… amicable."
"Hmm~" they moan in amusement, knowing that I want to say another word instead of "amicable".
"And I love you two for it." Now, I am not a shy Japanese MC. I am still a carnivore, but I just think a lot before taking a bite.
Nothing is stopping me now…
So I put my arms around their waist and pull them closer to me.
"Oh~" Vermeil shows a slightly surprised expression
"But business before pleasure." I smile at them, talking very close to their ear. I can also do that. "Go get yourself acclimated to this world, this way I can take you two on dates and then… we see how things end." It is not because I am carnivorous that I will gobble like an animal. There is a process to everything that makes anything more enjoyable.
"Promises, promises~" Vermeil licks her lips
"I like dates." Blair says cheerfully
"I also want to get to know you, so learn faster." I want to learn their abilities. That is the business before pleasure.
"Hmm, what gentleman… Even with two beautiful women already here on your lap…" Vermeil says that, but she was constantly pushing Blair away and trying to monopolize me.
A jealous girl at this point in my life is trouble… Better not add to my relationship. That is why I want a "date" to put the cards on the table.
"Now, I have already prepared accommodations befitting you two. There is food, a bath, and a course for you to watch." I push them off my lap, patting their butt to test the waters, and none of them care. Vermeil even gives me a sultry look over her shoulder.
"Food! Bath! Great!" Blair stretches herself happily. Oh, it jiggles.
"Alright, master… but I still want a 1v1 talk with you later." Vermeil says before blowing me a kiss and leaving with a sway of her hips.
"..." She must be thinking that I am that wimpy master of hers in canon.
Maybe I should just "tame" them already.
"Nah, the relationship loyalty is increasing just by treating them well."
.........
Finally, it is time for the… Yu-Gi-Oh! Theme Ga-Ga-Gacha!!!
Given the circumstances and my plan to get the monsters on my side, it would be a good idea to roll a Specific Gacha of Characters to grab those vampires, which I am sure will come, and infiltrate them into the monster society.
If Shiklah doesn't do anything stupid, she will stay loyal. Now, the other side is a little more complicated. But the vampire hierarchy is very tight; if I control a strong vampire, I can basically control everyone else.
But it will be good to put my eggs in multiple baskets.
I also want some vampire powers. Those [Weakness Removal Cards] are gathering dust because I handle that on my own. It is also rare for me to willingly assimilate someone with a terrible weakness.
I would rather create a clone body with that weakness.
I have powers very similar to those of vampires, like Quirks and Devil Fruits, but this will be the real deal.
Let's see what I can get.
I sit on my usual chair and do my usual ritual, putting on a song…
"I am going for full characters, Cortana." I tell her as she appears as a hard-light hologram on my lap. "What do you think?"
"I think you are gonna end up with a coven of Vampire Brides." She deadpans "But you like goth girls, so it is all good."
"C'mon…" I sigh
"Master, analyzing the database of possible candidates, your actions and the previous 'rolls'... From the 20 cards you are gonna pull, 15 should be vampires and at least 10 of them should be women. From the other five, some women should still appear. And I would bet some other type of monster, dragon or demon…"
"Well… there is a saying to never argue with a woman because you are wrong nonetheless… I think this is especially true if she is a super advanced AI." I shrug
Cortana smiles. "And that is what makes you wise." She says, before giving me a peck on the lips. "You may not have noticed, Master, but you have come into contact with a lot of women in those past few days. The party, the X-Men, Shiklah…"
"I see… Do you think that is the reason?" I hold my chin. "The fact that I always kept Shego and the others at my side created a vicious cycle that made me gain more and more women?"
"Probably, but it is mostly the fact that you assimilate the male characters."
"True… Time to get those vampire babes then." I smirk
"Be careful not to be sucked dry." She smiles too
"I have plenty to give." We both laugh while I prepare to start the Gacha.
I am not expecting many cards to assimilate, but I will be able to make a vampire body with every unique skill those vampires I am about to pull have.
That is good enough.
Let's go!!!
01- Solaire of Astora - Dark Souls
Praise the Sun!
I immediately stand up, pushing a confused Cortana off my lap, and raise my arms in a V shape.
I sit back with a big smile while Cortana reappears on my lap.
"You already started wrong, Cortana." I smile before focusing on the new card. "Not that I am complaining, but why Solaire? I mean, now, I, Siegmeyer, and he can go engage in some jolly cooperation. But it was very out of place… oh! Sunlight powers!"
"You used sunlight powers against Varnae." Cortana points out.
"And sunlight/lightning powers in Dark Souls are super effective against dragons too… I fought Sadurang." I nod in understanding.
Solaire is not that strong, but who cares? It is about the emotional value.
With so many bad people that I pull, a jolly bro like him will brighten my life. Get it? Brighten…
I will also wait for a protagonist of the Souls series to assimilate anyone from those games; nothing below that. Maybe some enemies are worth it… The Soul of Cinder would be even better.
Hmmm… The Soul of Cinder doesn't include the GOAT Bearer of the Curse, but there isn't much difference either.
The Hunter and Wolf would be good pulls, too. Oh, maybe I can make a Sekiro game adapted to this world… Maybe put Saeko as the protagonist. It has potential.
Next!
02- Seras Victoria - Hellsing
Okay, now we've started.
"And with the most predictable pull possible. Hahaha."
"As I said…" Cortana tries not to look smug, but fails.
Seras is an obvious summon.
She is exactly what I look for in a subordinate… Loyal, capable… The type of girl who will not give me trouble. She is... surprisingly normal and easy to deal with. For an immortal vampire
Wait… is this before or after she drank the blood of that guy? I don't wanna share her with some weirdo.
No, it looks like before she drank blood.
So I will have to help her overcome this mental block, too.
She is more similar to Saeko than I thought, now that I think about it.
03- Tubalcain Alhambra- Hellsing
Another one from Hellsing? Back to back?
"Look, at least it is a man." I say to Cortana while showing the bohemian-looking guy in the card.
This is the guy Alucard humiliated… Ah, this really doesn't narrow it down.
It is the card guy. Didn't he fight Alucard in Brazil? He looks the part, at least…
"It is only one, Master. Wait and see…" Cortana gives me a look
"Let's see… maybe this time my power will see that I am not a pervert." I nod to myself with a smug smile.
"Till the end of this, you will have more than half a dozen 'waifus' in your pocket." She talks like it is a prophecy.
Chill, lady.
04- Pureblood - One Punch Man
"Aha! See? My power finally understands me." I smile broadly
"...Master… It is coming; probability says that the next one will be a hot woman."
"..." The worst thing is that she is right.
But let's see this card now.
Hm, a monster that is a vampire. Another one that I will need to beat to put in their place.
Well, he has a very strong healing factor, so I will need to beat him a lot. And do something more, as I did with Sadurang, maybe take his heart or put a curse on him.
He doesn't look like the type to take orders, and if he does, he follows them poorly.
Monsters in One Punch Man are very much anti-humans, right? So it wouldn't be a bad idea to run some experiments on him. To whom would he complain? Human rights? I bet he has a very high kill count anyway.
05- Alcina Dimitrescu - Resident Evil
Hello, boobs. Sorry, it was the first thing I saw.
"Yeah… now it started."
"I told you." Cortana nods
"Since when has Resident Evil had an Amazonian goth mommy? What happened with Nemesis? Is this a hentai version? How is the grab attack?"
When I summon her, I will discover what this is about.
I hope she is more than a hot body.
06- Edward Cullen - Twilight
"Pffft! HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAH!"
I can't help but laugh loudly. I am not doing shit with this card, man.
"I will not even comment that I gained more men till now… I don't even know that this can be considered a man."
"That is mean." Cortana chuckles too
"He is a fairy…"
Ah man, hahaha! Well, a "miss" is always expected.
Let's see who is next and forget about this card for now. I am gonna recycle it later.
07- Sophia Keren - Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?
Oh, this girl is a friend of Shiraori.
I will dump her on Shiraori's hands then.
"Another vampire woman." Cortana comments after I show her the card.
"Yeah, and if I remember well, this one is kinda annoying." I comment "But I think she is strong, at least."
"You are used to dealing with annoying women." She jokes
"Is that so? Who are you calling annoying in my roster of girls, huh?"
"I plead the fifth." She turns her face around
"We are in space; the American Constitution has no power here." I deadpan
"Whatever, I can bet anything it will be another woman to satisfy your sexual urges." She changes the subject
"Let's see…"
08- Setagaya Mari - Itadaki Seieki
Eh, okay… She couldn't be more right.
I mean… Who is this? I don't know… Never saw this face in my life. I stop my eyes from darting around and keep my face straight.
I put the card away while Cortana stares at me with dead eyes
Next…
09- Vladimir - League of Legends
"Hah! This one is also expected." I laugh loudly. "It was my main in this shitty game." I explain to Cortana
"So there is a correlation with your likes, huh? Or at least has a strong feeling about the person? You pulled some people you dislike, too."
"Yep, I also played Zangief a lot… Chun-Li too. Eddy Gordo, Rugal, and others must be on the line for me to pull. I always disliked the Joker and Shou Tucker, and I pulled them too."
"So you pulled me because you like me or hate me?" She asks cheekily
"Because I love you." I answer immediately and pull her to me, kissing her cheek repeatedly while she squeals in happiness.
Women… Even when they are AI, they ask those questions. It is okay; they just want to hear the answer. It is not because they don't know it.
After having my way with her, I stop and put the card away.
"This one I will assimilate. He has a very good set of Vampiric Hemokinesis."
"Can't you already do it?"
"Yeah, but it's different when it's natural to the person." You can't compare having some blood-related quirks and literally being a vampire with those powers. "It is like having multiple powers that in the end do the same as airbending."
"There is also what you talked about with me long ago… That is good to have the same power but from different sources, like magic, esper, or meta-powers in general."
"True." I nod. "Let's see who is the last one of this batch."
10- Apollo - Shumatsu no Valkyrie
Hey, this is pretty OP.
"Another one because I used sun-based powers."
"Now this assimilation already made the batch worth." She says
"Uhum, it even comes with his weapon."
It is rare for a character I will assimilate to have such well-rounded advantages. At this point, I would be happy to gain just one thing from someone.
But Apollo has incredible physical stats, god powers, a weapon, willpower, and a lot of cultivated talent.
All of his being will be a good addition to mine.
And his personality is not even bad, so I don't need to worry about anything.
What a catch.
"That is a good batch… Apollo, Vladimir, and Seras paid it off, and the rest are good extras."
Let's get another batch already.
"And I didn't even get a lot of women…" I can't resist teasing Cortana. "Are your circuits alright, dear?" I blink innocently. "Do you need me to update you?"
"..." She stares at me with an expressionless face. "Roll the Gacha, Master. Roll it."
"..." Wow… "You are sexy when you are scary…"
Her lips twitch upwards.
"Whisper in my ear that you are gonna take over the world… do it." I say to her sexily. "Tell me that you are gonna trap us in a Matrix."
She can't hold on and ended up laughing "Just roll, silly."
"Yes, Ma'am!"
01- Skarlet - Mortal Kombat
Yep…
And look how sexy she was… I remember that they are uglifying the female characters of Mortal Kombat for some reason. Sorry if I don't want them to look like divorced moms or college students with a strange degree.
Yep, I want all of them to look like strippers. Psycho strippers, please.
It is important to the plot.
"This one also has hemokinesis, but Vlad is much better."
"Yeah, tell yourself that. Excuses for you to summon the hot lady." Cortana scoffs
"Excuse moi?" The French slipped off because of how offended I am. "Blame my power."
"This power is yours."
"..." Fair enough
02- Stussy- One Piece
"Oh, funny that I have her already as a subordinate in the One Piece world…"
"Do you think that is the same Stussy?"
"Hm, I don't think so…"
"Then you will have twins."
"Yeah, she is both loyal and capable… I love those types of summons."
"You love sexy women, Master."
"That too. I admit."
Anyone can sue me for that. I will see you in court while I defend my views and way of life.
03- Rip Van Winkle - Hellsing
"Damn, Hellsing is on a roll."
"And another woman…"
"Ah, c'mon. This one is not meant to be sexy."
That is another one of Alucard's victims, the rifle lady.
I have a surprisingly large number of sharpshooter subordinates.
Maybe I should make a competitive online game with us as characters, where sharpshooters are a class.
I will call it Marvel… eh, and something else.
04- Carmilla - Castlevania
"Another woman…" I give Cortana a side glance.
She is as smug as she can get.
I can only sigh and accept that my power is a pervert. My power, not me.
"I can use this one in the monster's politics. Put her on the opposite side, as a villain, but secretly being my creature." I will need to subjugate her, though. I remember that she is a bitch.
Haah~ That is why I like obedient girls like Stussy and Seras.
05- Gabriel Van Helsing - Van Helsing
The vampire theme is absolutely crushing today, but finally, I gain the opposition.
A vampire hunter. I remember this movie for having one of the coolest werewolf forms of all media. Twilight and Harry Potter werewolves couldn't compete.
The Underworld ones are not bad either, but this one is the coolest.
Anime does it pretty well, too.
"See? A man." I point at her. "Not everyone is meant to be a member of my harem."
And I spoke too soon because the next…
06- Serana - Elder Scrolls
"..."
"..."
"...okay, this one is my new wife." I raise my hands in admission and defeat.
Cortana laughs, not even bothering to tease me.
I mean, if the developers forced me to install mods… Reality doesn't need mods.
I don't need mods, "Time for my Casanova charm to make an appearance."
"How is your Casanova charm working with Raven?" Cortana asks with a smirk "Just be yourself." She rolls her eyes.
"Nah, it is fun to be overly flirtatious with this type of brooding woman."
07- Rim - The Dungeon of Black Company
"Another non-vampire…" I say
"A dragon girl… You predicted that." Cortana comments
"Probably because I fought Sadurang." I say "I read the first chapters of this manga… She is a high-maintenance glutton dragon, but nothing that I can't deal with."
I can throw her at Loona and Macht.
"Her design is kinda cool…"
"She is hot."
"Two things can be true at the same time."
08- Briar - League of Legends
I don't know this one.
Secret character in the lore? What is her relation with Vlad?
"She is giving me Jinx vibes…I am pretty sure that she is cray-cray… and my intuition is rarely wrong about this."
"So she is your type."
"..." She is kinda right.
I still blame Batman, though.
09- Vampirella - Vampirella
"Hahahahah! Okay, Cortana. You are absolutely right." I don't have arguments anymore.
"I am not happy because this is the expected outcome.
"I could swear that she is a part of this universe. Or at least from this multiverse." I ponder, but it seems she is from another publisher or is independent.
"Maybe you saw it on a crossover." Cortana suggests.
"It is possible…"
I think she is more than a sexy body, so she can be used.
Time for the last one… Come on, Gacha… You know who I want.
10- Cadis Etrama di Raizel - Noblesse
Yeah, the first rule of the gacha is that it rarely gives you what you desire.
"But it is okay, this is the kind of vampire that is worth assimilating." Too bad I didn't pull Alucard.
Or even any Dracula from other media. The one in Castlevania has a nice powerset.
But with this, I can already make a Vampire King persona.
"That came as expected… The vampire presence is more overwhelming than I thought." Cortana says while leaning her head on my shoulder
"Right? Now I am curious what items I would gain if I rolled the normal Gacha."
"There is a chance some vampire-related cards will continue to come out in the next month."
"If nothing more interesting happens." Now that I have all the cards in my hand, I can decide who to assimilate.
Of course, it is Cadis, Apollo, and Vladimir. It is a surprisingly big boost considering my current power level.
The abilities seamlessly fuse with my body and mind, but I focused more on Apollo's Divine Weapon.
"Threads… A versatile weapon to a versatile god." I praise while lines made of sunlight emerge from my fingertips, then they coil around my hands to create two golden gauntlets
"Like you." Cortana adds "And in the end, you gained a nice item."
"Yep, luckily it comes even without being a Package Card."
"And who from those are you gonna summon, Master?"
"Thanks to the vampires' trait of following the ones in a superior caste, I can summon pretty much everyone." I shrug. "Some are useless, like Edward and the hentai girl. But everyone else can have a place, I just need to decide a role for them… probably need to prepare a gothic mansion. Can't have my vampire subordinates being homeless."
"You are too nice."
"Just a part of their background… A vampire that lived for so many years can't be losers."
"It will already be weird for them to appear from nothing. I can imagine that the vampire community is very tight and knows each other." Cortana says "Especially strong individuals like your subordinates."
"True… maybe I should summon everyone together to make it seem they are a secret society that was hidden till now. Appearing only because of the changes that I am pushing forward."
"That is a good idea… You are really good at this, Master." She smiles
"I need to be… I will just need to choose one of them to act as the leader in public."
"You can decide after getting their measure personally."
"Yep, for now, Serana is at the top of the list. But maybe she doesn't want the role…"
"Hmmmmmm~" Her eyes narrow at me
"What?"
"I can already see that a new 'favorite' arrived." She smirks
"Favorite?"
"Yeah, you have a soft spot for certain women… You must have noticed."
"Everyone is biased at some level; at least mine is just for some cute waifus." I stand up
"What is your next step, Master?"
"Enjoy the slice of life a little before the next big threat." I hope I didn't jinx my free time just now. I want a little vacation.
