Techno PoV
It was the last day we would stay in the Virtual space. Me and Sasha were enjoying some TV before we would be entering the game again. It would be 4 months in game before we would get a break. While she was watching I went over my notes I had made. The notes contained several basic blueprints to improve our weapons and some possible new ones. Some of them held complete sets of codes that would replace our corrupted ones. I had also remade the targeting, scanning, and mapping system on my PC here and improved on it as I learned more about programming.
Besides them, I had also made several body blueprints for myself and Sasha each more complicated than the last. This was so we could be ready as we leveled up.
I also took the time to learn to make some engines similar to car engines but still steam based. Mainly engines with pistons. The pressurized vapor enters pushing down the piston and escapes into a secondary tank which is where the water cools and returns to be reheated. The first tank would hold the steam and go to the whole body to move it around and any possible tools that would use it.
I had made it a pure Mechanic body. It had a knight like body but only had swords as weapons. I trained in the gym some to be able to use both arms, I normally use my right arm so with training I started getting used to using my left hand. I also wrote most of the time here with it so I could become better. All this so I could work faster with the swords I have in case I ever needed them as well as controlling the robots better. I could also become more flexible while tinkering if I used both hands.
With everything checked we were told to get to bed before noon as we would be sent into the game while in bed to avoid any complications since we were still laying down in the game. We both cleaned up our rooms putting all the books away and cleaning the rest of the junk. We would still have access to the books but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to be neat and it’s possible that the app works only with books in the bookcases, so I won’t be taking that chance.
With everything ready I put Sasha in bed and tell her not to get up and told her we would be back in the game soon. She just nods and starts playing with the Virtual space system. I had made sure that she wouldn’t have any authority to actually buy anything unless I allowed it but she liked to look at the items.
I leave and head into my room. I put the remaining books away and then go to my desk and grab the pile of blank paper and put it in the bookcase. Next to it I put several cuts with pencils, pens and markers. After a bit of testing I found out the bookcase system took whatever I put in it and made it available to use so if I had a pencil or pen in it I could use them in game through the app.
I lay on my bed and a timer appeared.

I nod swiping the window away.
I thought about what had happened during the time we were here. It was a nice rest from the constant need of having to look over my shoulder to be careful of anything sneaking up on us or to make sure Gaia wasn’t about to fuck something up.
I really hope that idiot put herself in such a high place that she won’t be able to escape from it when I return and get Rust back before we hit the skies or road.
When the clock finally clicked the time, my vision darkened and I found myself in space. Floating next to me was Sasha and in front of us was the same goddess we first met when making our characters.
Ariel: ‘Hey kid, good seeing you again.’
Nathaniel: ”Can’t say the same though’
Ariel: ‘That’s mean, and here all of us gods were so interested in you. We were all so intrigued by how grand your adventures were during the first awakening, but who cares.’
Sasha: ‘Hey lady stop reading bro’s mind and speaking just with him.’
Once more just like the first time Sasha goes and makes a few veins appear on the goddesses head.
Ariel: ‘I guess that brother of yours still hasn’t taught you manners huh. Let me do that for him.’
She raised her right sleeve and starts floating over to Sasha with a somewhat evil glint in her eyes.
Before she could pass me I got in her way which makes her look up pissed but she took a step back when she saw me getting annoyed. Seems she has an idea of how much I cherish Sasha and is probably giving up on doing anything.
Ariel: ‘Tch, and here I thought I could fix that rotten personality of hers.’
Nathaniel: ‘Try fixing yours before others.’
My comment makes her brows twitch with anger.
Nathaniel: ‘Can we move on or we will never get down to the planet.’
Ariel: ‘Fine brats. Do you want to continue with your characters from before or make a new one. Remember that continuing with your old character will cut your levels in half and put a debuff on your body to compensate.’
Nathaniel: [/i]‘Same ones”[/i]
Ariel: ‘Good, now shoo. Oh and it’s a good idea to make your adventures just as exciting. Most of you players were really boring so most of the gods have their eyes on you.’
Nathaniel: ”I don’t really give a damn but just know I won’t be some scapegoat for restarting your long forgotten religions.
She shrugged and waved her hand.
Our bodies began glowing brightly and fell down towards the planet like meteors.
We weaved through the skies and soon we could see the scrapyard from above. The light we were in veered off from the main bulk of the lights descending around the city that had appeared around the South gates.
We flew far off straight into a mountain of junk through everything and finally impacted into our bodies.
The moment we hit our bodies everything went dark except for the digital window that appeared showing the booting up process.
Just like the first time, the booting went ahead and scanned my body but unlike the first time the scans showed all my bodyparts were functional but it took large damage from rusting.
