Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Aftermath and Investigation
Aron turned and looked around the parking lot. He had thought they were alone, but now he realized that, other than him and the pile of dust that used to be a cult leader, there were others who had witnessed the events.A short distance away, people who had been loading supplies in their cars and trucks were pointing at him. Thankfully, things had happened so fast that none of them had had time to pull out their phones and start recording before everything was over. And people further away had been too absorbed in their own errands to pay attention to a distant argument.Only a very small portion of the population was awakened and could actually see anything happening. To everyone else, it just sounded like a normal argument, if they could even hear it at all. And not everyone—especially not the kind of people (read: farmers) that shop at Tractor Supply Co.—were constantly recording everything in hopes of catching a major event that would give them a boost in visibility on the interne
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day A Basket of Panic
As could easily be expected, people panicked and immediately started coming up with “explanations” of just what the hell was happening.Crazy theories were thrown out like they were free, and people were blaming it on the aftereffects of using medical pods, a targeted mass assassination by the empire—which was an especially popular theory, as most of the deaths occurred among non-imperial citizens—a blessing gone rogue, and the side effects of the increase in “strange particle” density causing people to fail to adapt to it. Those were just the most popular among the many, many theories being spread by panicking people or those abusing it to gain fame.@Blackdawn: [The empire is finally moving on us! Beware of those with overly solicitous behavior, because they all have ulterior motives! #masskilling #thesnap #thevanishing]@Tervantas: [I don’t think it’s the empire doing this @Blackdawn. It’s more likely to be some blessed losing control over their superpower, or maybe just failure to

{We also now know what affinity the cult leader awakened. He awakened with an esoteric affinity to faith-aspected mana. Knowing that gives us some clues as to its operation, so we have avenues to research that will prevent it from affecting us going forward. We’ll know if we’ve succeeded for sure once our affected citizens have their disintegration permanently stopped,} Nova reported, as she was the one keeping track of the relevant research in the Lab City gold labs.“That’s a relief,” Aron sighed. “About the evidence—is there any reason anyone can think of why we shouldn’t make it public?”There was a possibility that some of the cult’s documents might need to be classified for national security, but as he had yet to receive a detailed briefing or any of the evidence himself, he couldn’t say for sure.The human members of his inner council looked to the AIs present at the meeting, as they hadn’t had time to read through it themselves, either.{There’s some information in them with s
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The Whys and Wherefores
Before the panic and fearmongering could spread further, a notification was pushed to every device on the planet, imperial or otherwise. The emperor would shortly be making a speech explaining the whys and wherefores of the disintegrations.The notification was enough to bring everything in the world to a screeching halt, as, other than those who were asleep and thus missed it or those doing important jobs, everyone sat and stared at their screens, upon which was displayed the imperial seal. Everyone was worried that the disintegration would be affecting them, their families, or their close friends, and they wanted to know what exactly was going on.And whether they were imperial citizens or not, Aron had an excellent reputation, so his words bore the most authority.As usual, Aron appeared behind a podium against a neutral blue backdrop, the seal of the empire proudly displayed on the front of the podium.“Greetings to everyone around the world,” he began in a neutral tone.“Earlier
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day They Eventually Grow Out of It
Aron had decreed that the remaining days of December would be an imperial holiday. As such, everyone was given the option of taking the ten days off for a paid holiday, or choosing to work for double pay. That included both government employees and private companies alike, a move that was popular with employees, but not nearly as popular with the enterprises employing them.As for himself, on the other hand, he was still working without pay. After all, he had never taken a salary from the imperial treasury to begin with, save a ceremonial 1 END per year. Even as the emperor, he was still a government employee, so he had to be paid. But since the money was irrelevant to him, he only accepted a token pittance.He was currently in his office dealing with state affairs. “With this,” he sighed in relief, “the case of the progenitor cult can be considered closed.” He flicked his eyes to the scanner and linked the final document to his retinal pattern and other biometric data, a measure that
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The Wedding Planners
Felix looked at Aron with a face full of disbelief. “Man... I know you’re the emperor and above us mere plebeians, but... really?” he asked in surprise as he swiped his hand across in front of him, closing the file he had been reading.“What’s the problem this time?” Aron shot back, rolling his eyes.“You have less than ten friends. Ten! Doesn’t that make you the least social royal in the history of the world? And! AND! Half of those are the people you dragged in to be the CEOs of your companies using magical contracts!” Felix scoffed. He jokingly continued, “Can you even consider that friendship? And besides me and Sarah, don’t you have any friends from your time in school?”“You seem to have forgotten how everything started. You and Sarah are the only two people that stuck with me when Rottem Morgan threw his little hissy fit and had me expelled under false pretenses after I proved him wrong in public. So however many I have now, it’s still more than two!” Aron playfully punched Fe

“So everything’s final then?” Rina asked, gesturing to the list of people eligible for the lucky draw attendance at their wedding.“Ah, wait... there’s a girl that asked me for an autograph when I was on my ‘European tour’. Come to think of it, I wonder if she ever solved the problem I gave her....” Aron looked around and saw the strange expressions on the other people at the table with him. He suddenly realized how what he had said could be misinterpreted and sputtered, “Y-y-you people! Who do you think I am!? Sheesh! She was the front desk attendant when I was checking out of the hotel and she recognized me and asked for an autograph. That would’ve been that, until Nova looked through her information and discovered she was a talented engineer, so she set a question that, if the girl answered it correctly, she’d find some rewards from Nova.”He shuddered at the cold shoulder he was expecting from Rina later. Even though he was almost positive they were just fucking with him, he had a
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Child Rearing for Fun and Profit
Aron, Rina, and Jai were having a conversation in a room filled with toys, play mats, and small desks. Three of its walls were decorated with childrens’ art in bright primary colors and shapes, and a digital display adorned one wall. The sound of children at play drifted in from the windows.“We’ve established a presence in every city in the world after finishing the last round of renovations. We’re still negotiating with noncitizens to purchase land from them so we can build our own schools, but that’s taking more time than we initially expected. “We may actually have to continue using the renovated buildings until the completion of the fortress cities, since we’re now responsible for a little under a hundred million orphaned children around the world and the locals are putting up stumbling blocks in our acquisition negotiations,” Jai said, his tone a mixture of satisfaction and frustration.The total number of children being looked after by the Coeus Foundation made them the world’

Trade Hub
Near Pluto’s orbit, a massive space station was in the final stages of construction. Only the finishing touches and full-scale testing remained before it could officially open for use and visitation by imperial citizens.Spanning nearly a thousand kilometers in diameter—about a third of the Moon’s size—the station looked nothing like a natural satellite. Its sleek, glossy exterior was adorned with enormous glass panels, each manufactured in space. These panels stretched for kilometers in length and width, and hundreds of meters in thickness, allowing light to pass through effortlessly. Yet, they weren’t just for aesthetics. Equipped with advanced safety features, the glass could filter heat and radiation while controlling the amount of light passing through in a precise five-centimeter grid, ranging from full transparency to complete blackout. Additionally, they were reinforced to withstand asteroid impacts, a testament to the station’s durability and the prestige of its purpose.This
STARGATE Dressing Rehearsal
Aron sat before a stack of papers containing the final experiment data. Though he was in the universal simulation, he liked to switch up how he processed information, avoiding fatigue from relying on a single medium—especially since he spent what amounted to centuries conducting experiments in accelerated simulation time.{From the tests, it works as expected,} Nova, his ever-present assistant, stated once she was sure he had finished reviewing the data."I know, but let’s do a real full-dress rehearsal," Aron replied, lifting his gaze from the papers.He always insisted on a full-scale trial before declaring any research complete. Unlike the universal simulation, where things could be conjured at will, the real world required careful logistical considerations. Even a flawless design could become an operational nightmare if mobilization wasn’t accounted for.{Okay,} Nova acknowledged, and in an instant, they both vanished from the lab, reappearing in the vast emptiness of space, far f
Discussion and Finalizations
It took Nyx several hours to sift through the vast amount of data collected before she was ready to deliver her findings.“Using the asteroid field as a natural cosmic phenomenon to mask the wormhole’s opening worked in our favor. As far as we can tell, no one in the vicinity detected it,} Nyx stated as she began her report.A scientist in the room frowned. "There were people where we opened the wormhole? What are the odds of that?"Nyx responded immediately.“While the natural occurrence of life in the galaxy is rare, remember that we are infiltrating Conclave territory. Intelligent life is abundant here. Furthermore, asteroid fields serve as valuable resource hubs for spacefaring civilizations, which greatly increases the likelihood of encountering activity.}As she spoke, the room’s environment transformed, shifting into a massive asteroid field—a direct projection of the data collected. Nyx had opted to show rather than tell, planning to let the simulation play before diving into
Tempting Fate
Crack!Had there been air to carry the sound, that would have been the noise echoing through space. Instead, there was only silence as the fabric of space fractured—a jagged crack forming for the briefest of moments.A small, round object emerged, slipping through the gap before it sealed itself shut, leaving no trace of its existence. The only evidence that anything had occurred was the lone sphere, now drifting amid the vastness of space.Roughly the size of a football, the sphere remained still for only a moment before it came to life. It scanned its surroundings, finding itself deep within an asteroid field, surrounded by tumbling rocks and frozen comet nuclei.Without hesitation, the object accelerated, weaving through the chaotic debris field with ease and with no visible propulsion method. Tiny blue sparks flickered from its surface each time it passed near an asteroid or an icy fragment, scattering briefly before fading into nothingness.It was collecting data.Its movement fo
The Test II
Yaloria’s gaze shifted to the battery status display. Despite the intensity of the fight so far, only about one percent of the mana battery’s energy had been expended—and even that was already nearly replenished.It was a stark contrast to the mechas she once piloted.The Yrall Coalition mechas were directly powered by their reactors, like plugging a device straight into a wall socket—efficient until something went wrong. If the reactor failed or was damaged, the mecha would instantly shut down, leaving its pilot stranded and vulnerable.But these mechas were different.Instead of drawing power directly from the fusion reactor, they ran on mana batteries—a buffer between the machine and its core power source. These batteries didn’t just store energy; they were constantly recharged by the reactor, keeping them at full capacity. More than that, they were embedded throughout the mecha’s frame, like blood flowing through a body, ensuring every part had immediate access to power.Even if t
The Test I
A few minutes before the fight began, an alarm blared across the testing grounds, and all personnel in the vicinity received an immediate evacuation order. Given the low number of individuals present, the process was completed in under a minute.Once the area was cleared, a massive shield dome began forming, expanding to cover a thirty-kilometer diameter and reaching a height of five kilometers. This barrier ensured that nothing occurring inside would escape—critical for a semi-live fire test.Outside the dome, the evacuated soldiers gathered, their eyes fixed on the transparent section of the shield, which projected a live feed of the battle about to unfold."Thank God they sent us to move those boxes," Charlie muttered, his voice brimming with excitement.On the screen, two towering mechas stood a kilometer apart, weapons drawn, locked in an intense stare-down. His earlier complaints about manual labor were long forgotten—he knew he was about to witness history.This was the first-e

BAM!! A heavy thud echoed as a box was set down, the sound hinting at its weight.“We have tractor-beam technology at our disposal, so why are we hauling these things by hand? Isn’t this a waste of both resources and our valuable time?” Charlie, a soldier in an Imperial army uniform, grumbled as he straightened his back and headed toward the remaining boxes they needed to move.Despite his complaints, there was no hesitation in his movements, creating a stark contrast between his words and actions.“You’re already using anti-gravity devices to carry them, so what are you whining about? Besides, we’re in a testing zone—do you really think they’d let us use high-end tech and risk a disaster mid-experiment?” his friend retorted, dropping his box before jogging to catch up.“Laziness is the mother of innovation. Do you think we’d have advanced this far if we weren’t too lazy to repeat the same tasks for centuries? And if that were really their concern, they could just disable the equipmen
Monthly Report
John lifted his head from the piles of documents in front of him, his expression calm but carrying the weight of responsibility."How is the progress of our preparations?"At this moment, few individuals in the empire were busier than him. As the overseer of the entire imperial military, he was tasked with preparing for the massive military restructuring, ensuring every division was ready for the upcoming changes. His monthly progress reports to the emperor demanded at least an intermediate understanding of every research project under his jurisdiction. Though he could have had the research heads report directly, John insisted on personally understanding each project—an exhausting endeavor, made possible only through knowledge assimilation and time acceleration technology.A response quickly followed, {I have already finished decrypting all of the information we collected during the war and from the captured Xalthar’s ship. Nyx is currently already running training simulations with th
A Journey Into the Unknown
While the emperor remained engrossed in his work, Mars—still concealed from all external sensors—was undergoing significant modifications. The planetary shield, which doubled as a stealth veil, was in the process of receiving a major upgrade.When the emperor had first deployed the shield, he had also integrated it with a rune-computer interface, allowing the shield’s runes to be controlled and adjusted through computational input rather than manual intervention. Now, this interface was being augmented with the newly developed stealth technology, a fusion of imperial advancements and Shadari stealth techniques.Once the system was activated, the planetary shield itself remained unchanged, but a new outermost veil formed around it, acting as the first line of stealth defense. This additional layer further reinforced Mars’ invisibility, making detection by any known technology even more improbable.However, the original stealth properties of the shield were not disabled. Instead, they r
