READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 10: Chapter 10
{A/N: I probally wont upload as many chapters in the next few days as I need to build up a stockpile for when I go camping in about a week.}
1st Pov
Sitting on my bed looking out over the city, I take out a material ingot from my inventory. I had fun hanging out with Jean but I wanted to get back to what I was working on before crashing into her.
Focusing on the ingot sitting in my hand I began channelling both my psionics and matter manipulation. Looking deeper and deeper into the structure of the ingots I use more and more of my though trains.
After a bit of training, I was able to get my thought trains up to eighty, but even with constant effort I can't seem to create anymore and I can feel I need to do something to break through the bottle neck.
Disregarding my bottle neck, I focus more and more effort into my task, refining my control I forcefully look deeper with my psionics. Mentally controlling my matter manipulation to intertwine with my psionics, I use my unique mind structure to control all the variables I could find.
Using a process of trial and error I rapidly cycle through different strategies; each new strategy gets me closer and closer to unifying the two skills. Rushing against my rapidly dwindling energy the ingot in my hand flexes stretching and compressing as if it's made of liquid.
With my energy dwindling fast I forcefully try and create more thought trains to speed up my efforts, then as suddenly as a lightning strike I feel my skill {Adapt and Evolve} activate. Smiling I slowly pass out as the last of my energy drains away.
Coming to an unknown amount of time later I look at the ingot in my hand, now obviously split into different types of metals. Groaning I look outside, the late afternoon sun from earlier is now completely gone and in it's place the moon hangs low in the sky.
Looking at the clock in my room I see a bit over an hour and a half has passed since I blacked out. Remembering my skill activated before I blacked out, I excitedly open my notifications.
[ Notifications ]
Skill {Psionics Lvl 26/100} has levelled up x424
Skill {Matter Manipulation Lvl 12/100} has levelled up x108

Skill {Enhanced Intelligence Lvl 90/100} has levelled up x11
Skill {Stun Resistance Lvl 87/100} has levelled up x12
Looking at my skill notifications I happily hop around my room, smiling I'm curious what changed with the evolved skills and open their descriptions.
-Matter Manipulation Lvl 20/100
Grade (C) (Passive/Active)
The host is able to manipulate matter at the molecular level rearranging it into any shape or configuration they can think of. This skill has taken on aspects from the skill {Psionics} now allowing the host to easily see what their working with, in their mind. This skill can vaguely control tiny groups of atoms.
-Multi-Mind Lvl 1/100
Grade (D) (Passive)
This skill passive increases the hosts max thought trains by 1% per level. Upon this skill grading up the active amount of thought trains becomes the new base and is multiplied by the percentage of this skill.
Looking over the new skills I whistle to myself, the multi-mind skill allows me to rapidly increase my base thought trains exponentially. The upgraded Matter Manipulation skill on the other hand was multitudes better than the new skill, not only could I now manipulate smaller particles but I could see them as I worked drastically increasing my precision.
Smiling I take out a new material ingot, and with a small effort and a bit of energy the ingot turns into a cloud of metal gas. Looking at the cloud of miscellaneous metals in what can only be called a gas form, what I've done is I individually controlled every atom in the material and broke the bonds between them.
At the moment the cloud wants desperately to stop defying physics and reform a solid, so with a bit more effort I separate the cloud into the individual elements that make it up and reform them back into smaller and almost completely pure ingots.
Smiling again I begin taking out ingot after ingot from my inventory before breaking them down and reforming them into pure ingots of metal, each ingot is almost exactly 20kg and by the time I'm done I have well over 10 tons of pure iron sitting in my inventory.
I also have a shit ton of waste material I will need to get rid of and a few kilograms of precious metals. Looking at the bar of gold in my hand I feel as if I should add it to my hoard. Thinking for a few minutes whilst staring at the bar I decide it's not pretty enough to join my hoard and put it into my inventory.
Taking out my phone I open the app store intent on finding a fun game to play as a celebration of my progress. Five minutes later I'm sat on my bed fuming as I use my technology manipulation to rapidly browse the entire catalogue of available games on the app store.
Switching to the browser I rapidly search for any good games but find none, sitting there staring blankly out the window I ponder. On the entire available internet, I cannot find mention of a single fun game, what use is living if you can't experience the amazing worlds people are able to create with their minds.
Resolved I determine if the people of this world can't make quality games, I'll make games for them in order to inspire them. Getting up from my bed I walk over to the computer that came complementary with the penthouse.
Merging with the computer I quickly scan the components and realise they won't cut it for what I want, unmerging I begin using matter manipulation to make a more advanced computer. After a while, my technological improvement skill activates and I speed up my progress.
Merging with the completed components I use my techno-organic nature and Technology Manipulation skill to enhance and refine the already finished parts. Five minutes later before me stands a computer comparable to the super computers of this era.
I can definitely improve my design in the future but at the moment I'm limited by the infrastructure of this world. Looking at my computer I ponder for a bit before deciding I'll make this my first commercial product.
Plugging the computer in I extend cords across the floor plugging them into any available sockets. Happy with the power supply, which I'll probably have to fix for a commercial product, I turn on the computer.
Booting up, the fans built into any free space start circulating air. Connecting to the custom built remote connection port, built specifically to receive data directly from me. Connecting to the computer I begin a basic rundown of the system checking all the parts are working.
With all the parts working I designate ten thought trains to programming the software for the computer. Once the software is complete the thought trains split off and begin working on different things, some work on story line development using what I remember from games I played in my last life. Other thought trains split between making game sprites, developing a game engine, creating player and creator tutorials for my new game engine, and programming the actual game.
Receiving some notifications for different things I open all my notification menus.

Technology – Constructor (Satisfactory)
-Constructor (White)
Universe: Satisfactory
Type: Blueprint
Grade (B)
This blueprint gives the host all the technical specifications in order to build an identical constructor to the one seen in the game. In the Satisfactory universe the hard working engineers of FICSIT Inc managed to develop the constructor. The constructor is capable of taking a single refined input and using it to create basic objects and machine parts.
Looking through my notifications the skill level ups where pretty normal, the new notification about making a creation was useful for keeping track of stuff. The new quest was put to the side and claiming the rewards for the hidden quest I received a { Level Up! } notification and opened my status.

Finished looking over the last of my menu's I close them. Mentally looking over the blueprint for the constructor I could think of a few uses for it already. Looking over my work developing games I had already finished three.
Being able to mentally send sprite and characters models directly from my mind to the computer, tied with having multiple thought trains all proficient at coding each working faster than a human could ever hope to be, resulted in making games very quickly.
Looking over the games, Subway Surfers, Angry Birds, and Candy Crush, I nod in satisfaction before uploading them. I published both completed games to any app store I could find, I had included microtransactions each far cheaper than anything from my time to the games to make a small profit.
Leaving the games to generate popularity and revenue I began drawing up blueprints for my commercial computer model, I needed paper blueprints in order for any humans I hire to understand my design and make it. I eventually planned to expand and create a company so planning ahead would save me time later.
Thinking about it I decide to get it out of the way and using a sperate thought train I begin working on the forms needed to start a company, I also don't really care for patents so I don't bother filling out any patent forms.
Gazing out at the city through my large floor to ceiling window I see an explosion from one of the lower floors on Oscorp, curiosity winning over I head to the elevator and head to the roof. From the roof I dissolve my long cloak and fold my wings out, as a precaution I morph into a slightly smaller version of my base form to hide my identity.
Flapping my wings I take to the air and fly towards Oscorp, easily arriving I fly down to about the 30th floor and cling to a building opposite Oscorp Tower with a view of where the explosion came from. Hearing sounds of a scuffle and heavy impacts inside the blown out floor I slink my way down the building till I can see.
Looking into the building I can see Spider-Man fighting against a large humanoid lizard. The lizard is tall enough it needs to duck inside the building and I can see long spines growing out of its arms and back. Hitting Spider-Man he's sent flying out of the building smashing into the building I'm holding onto about a floor below me.
Watching Spider-Man climb out of the hole he's imbedded in the Lizard takes the chance to run, jumping out of the building and running for the river smashes cars out of the way as he runs. Reaching the edge of the hole Spider-Man is about to chase the lizard when he does a 180 to look at me.
"OMG, what are you!?!" – Spider-Man
Listening to Spider-Man's young voice filled with shock and a bit of fear I chuckle, Spider-Man looks a bit scared of my laugh. I don't blame him though my laugh sounds like a mix between a alien, a machine, and the sound of glass shards scraping against metal. Having a few fun ideas that I can't have Spider-Man here for I point towards the escaping Lizard and speak.
"Don't worry about me little spider I'm just spectating the show, you should get off after your stray reptile though he's making a break for it. – Morgan
Hearing what I said Spider-Mans mask eyes expand in a show of surprise before he looks toward the fleeing Lizard, looking between me and the Lizard a few times he seems to come to a decision and jumping away he shouts back at me.
"Stick around here misty alien lady, I want to talk to you later." – Spider-Man
Watching Spider-Man swing away after the Lizard I jump over to the whole in the Oscorp Tower. Looking around the floor for a functioning computer I end up searching a few rooms before finding one.
Merging one of my tendrils into the computer I begin going through Oscorp's private network. Looking for the lizard serum I find a few interesting things in my search, copying the data on Oscorp's SSS and the plans for the Goblins arsenal I continue my venture through their system copying any and all knowledge I don't have.
Finally finding the file I'm looking for after less than a second real time I copy the lizard serum data and its physical location before unmerging with the computer. Grabbing a few different rare flowers and a few bottles of water, I absorb the needed ingredients into myself and begin mixing up a potion placing the leftover materials in my inventory.
Arriving at the location of the lizard serum on the other side of the floor from the explosion, I grab all the concocted vials. Absorbing one vial into me I use my cellular control to prevent it from affecting me as I analyse it. Now with a physical copy of the serum my Biological Improvement skill activates suggesting improvements.
Generating a new serum recipe without many of the flaws from the original and a few of my own additions I upload it to the Oscorp server. Adjusting the files I register Dr Connors completed version of the serum as a prototype and set my version as the completed version.
Giggling to myself like a demon I activate the machines and begin manufacturing an equal number of my serum as vials I stole. Watching as the machine pumps out three more vials of serum I continue giggling imagining people's reactions to my modified serum, reaching out my hand I sperate the vials making two very obvious so anyone in a rush would grab them first.
Dropping a drop of my concocted potion into one of the vials I pick them up and mix them around before putting them back down. If I tried, I could have kept track of the vial with the potion in it but decided otherwise.
Giggling to myself I finish my prank set up and leave the Oscorp Tower, flying out of the building I see a tattered Spider-Man swinging his way back to me. Waving at him when he sees me, I take off back towards my hotel.
