With the flash of light and Bob's disappearance. The sudo safety line is now gone.
Knowing that Bob's has left me alone is both exciting and terrifying.
Although he answered most of my questions I still had a few more i wanted to know. I'm also not a huge fan knowing he's pretty much dying and leaving with all these powers. It's like giving a child a firework and say have fun now, but it's meant for adults to use.
Sigh, plus side my inner gamer is bursting with excitement.
Think of all the fun I could have with my favorite characters, as well as recruiting them for my store.
Oh man, This is going to be sick.
Alright I mostly understand this building is like my personal hub station.
Slightly stocked for all facilities, but no staff and minnamal resources. Being left here I assume Bob want me to experience the world jumping and recruiting for the store.
Having a cafe is cool but I'm alone. Although Bob was eating I didn't see any food in storage. Damn, how do I even recruit people.
Thinking of how Bob called jack his little lucifer. He tries multiple ways of summoning an contract as he remembers from shows and mythos. Not having anything appear he curses out loud frustration building.
Fucking damn it why won't it work.
Sitting down jack thinks.
Oh I got it. Scrunching his face he focus the energy to his hands, and a scroll of parchment appear.
Hell yeah.
Opening it, he throws it on the ground.
Fuck you, you damn ass hat. Breathing slowing, I need to stop losing it. It's my power.
Calmly picking up the parchment, jack examines it.
Okay I'm an idiot not thinking of this. I have a deal but no terms. I his mind jack think of a deal of exchange of services and a flash appears on the paper.
Excited he examines his work. It shows a professional contract, as if done by a lawyer. Reading the details he sees complex words, detailing the exact meaning of what he wanted to sell.
Okay, this will do nicely, channeling the energy within. He disposed the deal. Excellent, looking around the white room he is ready to run it through it's paces.
Wanting to try the world jumping feature. He extended his hand out. But nothing happened.
Huh, that strange I'm thinking really hard, but nothing is happening. Thinking he remembers his contracts and starts channeling. I feel it, a bright green tree the hight of his chest rises from the ground.
It a bit small but I'm sure it will grow. Okay, let see what we can do. Sending his energy he hears a feminine voice.
Preform world birth in 3 2 1.....
A sharp tugging sensation sets in and a familiar emptiness covers him reminding him of the void. A cold sweat runs down his back.
Before jack could feel his terror. A invisible force sent a hard shove and places him in a random room.
Okay I'm still alive, thats good. It also seems I might have some ptsd from the 'training' Bob gave me.
Checking himself he notices his clothes are different and his body is more tired in general. Seeing a mirror he walks over to check himself out.
Shocked, what once was an young man with light rosey skin was now an very old man with dark tanned skin.
Holy shit. What the hell is this. I know he said it's random at first, but come on man. I'm old as shit now.
Looking back at himself jack see an older male roughly 6ft, deep dark complexion. Most likely african descent. By the facial features, probably around late 70's with a fit form, and probably Egyptian heritage.
That's neat I always wondered what it would be like being of different ethnicity. When I speak out loud I hear a different voice with a slight accent, but when I think my voice is my original. That is very trippy. Also being a whole foot taller is throwing my equilibrium off.
After checking himself some more, jack decided he needs to figure out when and where he is.
Moving about jack thinks, "I may be old but at least this body is still in good shape." Reaching the door he steps outside.
Okay it's still normal, and nothing weird is happening. So I assume I'm not a main character story and I'm just a normal person, guess I'll go for a walk.
After exploring all day jack returns to his home as the sun is setting. Okay so it seems this is just a plain world, I have no family and it's currently 2011. I live on the main floor of an 3 story apartment complex.
Pulling out his keys, his wallet falls out. Hm, oh my god. Im a fucking idiot. This should have been the first thing I should have done. Main source of information is usually in someone wallet.
Pick up his wallet he opens it to examine. Ok let see here. My current name is Ahmed Williams, 74, male, 6ft 2. Widowed do to the faded photo of what seems like a young him and women. No ring on hand, so I'm not married.
Sigh, thats somewhat of a relief. I dont know how I should act, if I have a love one waiting for me.
Time skip.
Ok it has been about 6 years, looking at a storage container fill to the brim with various materials, that all have been meticulously organized.
All right Bob said should take everything i own with me when I'm done. I believe in owning the container and most of everything inside will be a good test run.
As for what I meant by most was because I had to test my deal abilities out. I decided to go to various sketchy areas and "hired" various thugs. I told them to sign a contract for if they get caught i would bail them out and they would get a cut of the collections.
What they dont know, was the contract held a karma meter. So if any of those bastards are pretty evil they will become energy and the good people would be released with a piece of their life or skills zapped away at random.
Roughly I had made 40 contract with half being random people who's skills or a piece of their life will be transferred to me.
Not wanting to kill myself or getting myself killed or waiting any longer I tried to focus on leaving using my energy.
After focusing for a few minutes a screen appeared before my eyes saying.
Would you like to end your current host and return to the hub. Yes / No?
Focusing, I select yes.
A sleepy sensation covers me and I close my eyes.
The feminine voice returned.
The host is returning, recycling previous host for resources. Collecting resources for host. Collecting contracts, souls for energy aquired. Releasing contract permits, skills aquired.
In a new and more emotional tone. Welcome master Jackson Smith! It has been 1 minute and 13 seconds since you activated the "world rebirth" function. I hope you enjoyed your time.
Would you like a run-down of everything aquired master?
