Date Tuesday, September 13th, 2264
Approximately two years later.
While I was in the midst of chilling on my bed in one of the few instances that Alice wasn't attached to me, I began to think of all I had accomplished over the last two or so years.
It's been a minute since I've last gone over my accomplishments and progress and these last two years have been quite fruitful as well as productive, to say the least. Now where should I start... I suppose I'll begin with my stats and what not first before continuing onto the equipment and robots that have been designed and introduced in this period.
So my stats were progressing the same as prior to my mass level up for the following couple of months, for the most part. The only exceptions being my intelligence and skills, due to the doubling in the amount of thought processes I had at my disposal. That said, that situation didn't remain that way because after those said few months had gone by, the trials I'd been running on the molemen guards had finally come to an end.
| Maxigen |
Description: Maxigen is a performance-enhancing non-hormonal oral drug that was developed by the U.S. military with the goal of enhancing troop performance and combat ability. The drug has similar effects compared to anabolic steroids, such as increasing the body's regeneration speed, the growth of muscle mass, and muscle strength, but at substantially higher rates compared to any other anabolic steroid to date. On top of those beneficial properties, it also increases ligament strength and tendon strength as well. However, those are not all the positive effects it possesses. Unlike traditional steroids, when the use of this drug is discontinued, the gains made while on it will remain and will not be lost as long as proper nutritional needs are met. As for the negative side effects of Maxigen, the drug has one major flaw, being that the user will become increasingly aggressive the longer they continue to use the drug. To the point that if the drug is used long enough, the user will permanently lose all reasoning and self-control, degenerating to the point that they will succumb to a berserker-like rage that has no known cure.
The result from those trials with increasingly higher dosages was that both formulas were found to be safe and usable for human use. Just that the latter one was the better of the two since it put on 20% more muscle and increased the user's endurance more when compared to the other. It even seemed to improve agility to some extent, which was a nice surprise.
Hence, that was the one I put into production and once another month had passed. The time that was required for the modified plants to grow to maturity, a large portion of them were harvested and turned into my new and improved formula of Maxigen. And with it being a new drug, I had come up with a new name for it. I didn't have any great ideas come to mind at the time of its creation, thus I just chopped igen off from its original name and stuck buff on the front of it, naming it Buffmax.
| Buffmax |
Description: An improved variation of Maxigen that no longer causes the user to eventually enter an out of control berserker-like state. This compound also improves muscle and lean tissue growth by 20% more, enhances endurance even further compared to the original formula, increases explosive power and speed, and even grants slight improvements to one's flexibility.
When I first introduced that compound into my routine, I didn't notice its effects immediately. However, as I continued my day and began my workout, the drug eventually kicked in and began showing its effects, boosting my endurance, strength, speed, and basically giving me unlimited energy. All those effects combined allowed me to push myself and workout harder than I had in both of my lives up to this point. The feeling I got from it was very similar to what I felt when I was on gear in my last life, although maybe 5x or 10x stronger. Honestly, this shit was genuinely insane when I first began running it.
Following my first go with Buffmax, I continued going steady with the dosage I started myself on. I did that for some time and once I reached a few months in making massive gains throughout the entire process and not finding anything negative occurring across every one of my health markers; I began titrating the dosage up to further improve the progress I was making in my physical capabilities. Long story short, I've maxed out my height at 6 foot 6 and put on 70 pounds of lean tissue and increased my agility, endurance, and strength attributes massively, especially the latter two and their associated skills.
Besides the gains I've made in those areas and me building a physique that would score remarkably well in any men's open building show from my previous world, my intelligence breached a limit and reached 101, giving me quite the surprise.
| Human Supercomputer Rank 2 | Requirements 101 Intelligence: You've continued to surpass your limits for intelligence and as a result of that, the amount of thought processes you possess has increased in number substantially. From now on, you will receive 1 thought process for every 10 points of intelligence you have. Aside from that, your brain will operate more efficiently from this point forward and will not become as fatigued as easily as previously. Lastly, your brain's processing power has improved even further, +200% to brain processing power for every 10 intelligence you have instead of the previous 100%.
That huge increase in the number of thought processes upgraded my multitasking ability massively and allowed me to get more done than ever before. It is hands down the primary reason why my skills have been improving faster than ever. And since I've arrived at this point, I'll move onto the equipment portion of this progress overview. With these increased mental capabilities of mine, I've been hard at work designing and expanding the variety of equipment available to me and my forces.

In addition to further bolstering myself and my constantly growing mechanical forces, I've designed several more robots and added them to the production line. Computer Whiz's effects came in clutch when I was programming all those A.I.s back then.
