In the last nearly three days, I had mostly focused on my two skills. We did have some instructions on how to train them, but I felt myself simply not knowing enough of the basics to feel like I was making proper advancement.
As for advancement in the skills, I did find an interesting quirk: you could actually change in...

Being alone in the elevator gives me the time to put the briefcase down and open it. It seemed to have an internal mechanism that kept it shut, which took a few moments to click open so that I could see inside.
Inside were bars of metal I was not familiar with, written on them were the number 24 and 1 kg. There weren’...

We sat there in silence, both looking at each other. It seemed that even here, the first to speak would be on the back foot. Those eyes of his that didn’t seem to blink looked like they were peeling away my secrets one layer at a time.
Something needed to change, so I decided to give up ground and look away. Fortunate...

While the pirates should be gone, the Terran Cooperative might still be keeping track of me, so sticking to the main streets was the way to go.
It was as busy as always and a bit too busy for my liking. Now, while I enjoyed my time alone like any other sane person, what I also enjoyed was a moderate number of other peop...

It has been close to three hours since I started with the snail experiments. By the end of it, there were four fully intact bodies and two more or less intact ones.
It was a lot of food to eat at once, and while the taste wasn’t the worst, the texture was too rubbery. But I couldn’t just throw out their bodies like ...

“Lola, can you figure out, if we detached something from the ship during FTL, would it slow down and return to real space, and would it survive the transition?”
“Is this for your secret plan that you still haven’t shared?”
“Perhaps,” I said while still assembling the gravity generator.
“Then ...

“It’s time to take a break from your mad scientist phase. The gravity generator arrived.”
Lola's voice broke my concentration. Then I processed what she said. So it was time to stop for now, but I still needed to finish this missile, as it was in a crucial stage, and I did not...

Looking at my ship always brought me joy, but nothing made me happier than seeing the current unfinished state of it, knowing that it was time to start finalizing the current changes we were making. It was just so much fun to build an actual spaceship.
The armour was almost on. The nano machines also finished destroying...

The elderly couple looked quite scared and pleading, most likely hoping that I would do as the pirates said. Well, I didn't actually know if they really were elderly or perhaps their species looks like that, but they do give me that vibe.

As I was about to leave, I noticed that the Adventure Association’s quantum computer was nearly done initializing. It was at 95%, but it had taken nearly three days to make it this far. My adventurer card is currently in the only card reader. It's apparently needed to complete the setup.
The computer itself is complet...

Fortunately, in this hangar there were cranes that suspended from the ceiling. Currently, the entirety of the back of the ship was open as we had to remove basically all of it. It was a bit annoying doing this by myself, but my drones and Bob were a big help.
We still couldn’t lift out the main engine, as it was too s...

When my foot stepped on the Forward Horizon’s ramp for the first time after the kill, I took a deep breath in and relaxed just a bit.
Lola had been monitoring the station's security, but nothing seemed to be happening. Most likely, I was attacked there not only because I made a mistake and went through there, but also...

Walking outside the skill shop, I had a few choices to make. Should I continue down the main street towards the city centre, or should I start the next phase of my plan? Perhaps it's best to start making contacts—otherwise, I might run out of time.
So instead of heading further toward the city centre, I crossed the st...

There was one thing I needed to do before I left for the city.

“I have not finished it completely, but the current results are promising. There's a good chance that this plan would ...

I had thrown everything I had at the new nano machines, and they survived it all. The metal that the new armor plates are made out of is just too good.
The only problem is everything I have is not anywhere close enough to the forces those nano machines need to survive if I want them to contain the power of fusion and ac...

As I re-entered our berth, the sight of the drones working on my ship was incredibly nice to see.
Beside the ship were two large pieces of basic armour plating—at least basic for the rest of the universe. Now that I was close, I had full access to the ship’s database, so I could see the results of the tests conducte...

I was already sitting in the same station security office I visited previously. There was still about an hour until the interview, but it was better to be here before than to be late.
Before, we had been a bit too reckless. I shouldn’t have let Lola figure out my last affinity, as we didn’t know how safe the communi...

It didn’t take me too long to make it to the elevator. It seems like there was no way to enter this floor of the station with my current permissions. This arm where my ship was docked at was apparently connected to Floor 13, which seemed to be a warehouse floor of some sort.
Now that we had more access to the web of t...

I had only walked in this crowd a few minutes before a memory flashed in my eyes. For a moment, I was back on Earth before my accident, with my family as we went to a convention. It was mostly fantasy and sci-fi. Right now, where I currently was, kinda reminds me of that time.
The only difference was that back then, it ...

The next solar system I was going to steal was not the next closest one. The reason was quite simple: that sun was bigger than the one I stole, and I had no confidence in actually being able to teleport it into one of my floors. The trip wouldn't be too much longer, only about 6 months, but that sun was...

I was the happiest I’ve ever been, and all of it was because I finally finished expanding the 100th floor to the new size it could be. This floor, before I reached my new rank, was 27,000 kilometres in radius.
