Carters Upgrade...

“Carter stops and tell me what is with this place and also what the fuck just happened to my phone?”

Esmond wasn’t furious at his phone breaking, since he couldn’t sense its weight in his hands, but from the interference from the space.

“Well… if I tell you, it will be hard to believe but…”

“Come on… we’ve been through enough shit.

Just be up front.”

“Fine…

Think of this space as another world, but in is made from your mind’s strength and your bodys and soul…

Sorry about the ‘ands’…

Right, so like I was saying this is another space based on your strength which can add information like ores and materials like the stuff from the device in your hand to the clothes you have on.

Its in here now.

Essentially your own world to harvest and use freely…

Problem is… I’m the only person here… so I gotta do it with your help…”

Esmond had a proper look around this time, looking at the mounts that replaced the small hills and the meadows that were filled with forests and plants.

“What the fuck is this…”

“Hey… try and practise… hoe…”

Esmond wanted to say something back at his friend, but his cheerful mood was too precious to shatter… just yet anyway, so he let him continue like a clueless moron.

“Ill help with buying everything, but I will need your help with everything alright?

Once we can find a safe way to get you help, then I promise to help you relax here and live-in comfort.”

“Yes please!”

.

The two discussed how to start a business which would first acquire resources of all kinds and scan them through the SAL or Spatial Ark Land and then build our own supply.

Esmond left SAL with help from the system and Carter who helped him realised he just needed to think of himself in SAL and he would be transported over.

He was about to make a call, but he found Carter on his phone, somehow connected with the SAL in some way.

It also meant Carter was connected with the internet, helping him mark one of the many points in the tasks he had to complete.

.

..

‘WHY. IS. THERE. SO. MUCH. PORN. IN. THE. FUCKING .WORLD!’

Carter had a data dump of information when he made his connection with the internet that continued to build in size with every byte he processed.

The main subject that would continue to appear was porn in all of his processing, which blew his mind when he considered the amount of data was porn alone on the web, compared to the overall size of the human populous.

“Carter, are you ok?”

‘Just… highly traumatised dear friend…

Also… what is it with the fucking stepsister sex?!

Fucking hell!’

Esmond couldn’t help but laugh at his friend’s troubles and the woes he was going through.

‘Hey Esmond, could you do me a favour and go purchase some smarty pants from the store.’

“What?”

Carter was connected with the Primordial Galactic (?¿?) System in most ways so he knew most of its mysteries, even if there was a whole lot more than left him blind and uncomfortable for both himself and most of all Esmond.

‘I need someone who help process all the information I am taking in.

Like those A.I’s from the films you use to watch.

Not like Skynet… that bitch is terrifying…’

“Fine…”

.

When he went through the store, he couldn’t believe the items before him.

Some items were directly from animes he loved to watch like Dragon Ball and Gundam, but there was movies characters and items like the death star for example.

‘You saw it didnt you?’

“How could I not? The death freaking star!

Do you remember how long it took to build that that sphere...”

‘Well, I didn’t believe you when you said you could do it…

As the former Crown Prince of the Qriknis Galactic Empire, you really had some ambitious plans…’

Esmond couldn’t help but laugh at the memory of the emperor, his father in that lifetime, struggling to understand the decision at making such a mammoth project, yet the final product was so powerful that he never said a word to Esmond…

It was enough to signal his end by his fathers’ assassins, sent to end him.

His father was afraid, Esmond would kill him using the mobile death star and take him out.

Unfortunately, he learnt later on that the death star was indeed a present from Esmond to the Emperor when his forces informed him of the news when the emperor ordered them to storm the mammoth fortress.

.

“Well, we aren’t building that shit again… fucking pointless…

I couldn’t even blow anything up before the old bastard took it away from me…”

‘Hey look!

There are Gods here!’

Carter pointed out the block of Gods from various mythologies of Earth which could serve Esmond and shape his Empire.

It was something that really caught Esmonds attention, and he was someone that dealt with a great deal of mythological; things during his lifetimes, unfortunately the cost to purchase them was far beyond the one billion credits he had to his name.

What he could afford was some buildings, and items he never expected who be sold in the system.

‘Virtual Labs… isn’t that the thing that the Empires primarily used to each their demon spawn…?’

“Mmm, I had one as well, though it was fit for royalty, it still had many problems over the long run.

Thankfully I had you to help offset those issues.”

One of the knows problems of the Virtual Labs was its ability to provide a near physical realisation within the virtual world.

It was unbelievably realistic that all scientists that made major accomplishments for science and technology all would credit the Virtual Lab for its help.

Problem was, the damage would eventually catch up, but on the mind instead, as the virtual system can’t erase the completely sensation one’s body would feel.

.

Before Ben thought about it, he bought the basic level of A.I programming from the system for 50,000,000 Credits.

Both Carter and Esmond expected were expecting some hardware or little bug that would be the shape of the new A.I that could manage the information from the internet that was flooding the SAL, leaving Carter in a panic.

Instead, what appeared was a golden light that flashed into the SAL and disappeared into Carters body, shrouding him in the same light until Carter passed out.

Esmond could sense the problems with Carter and was about to jump into the SAL, however he stopped when the systems voice ran out.

.

“…Carter? Please tell me your ok and not some fucking robot?”

“… H.e.l.l.o M.a.s.t.e.r…”

Esmond was pertrified he lost his friend because of the system for moment, but he soon heard the laughed coming from Carter.

“FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!” Esmond screamed at his phone, before throwing it away.

He thought with his newfound strength it would have shattered but for some reason it had gone through some changes when it entered the Spatial Ark Land and improved automatically.

However, his phone was stuck hard in the wall, no doubt about it.

.

‘My bad man! Hahaha! It was just the perfect timing you poor sod!’

“Fuck off man, I don’t need your shit.

Just tell me your changes asshole…”

‘Fine Princess…’

Esmond decided to leave the house and head to the shops to get some clothes as he was told by Carter moments earlier.

He thought about calling for his parents to send through some money as he was about take the bus to the city, however he needed to refill his metro card so he could take the bus.

Reaching for his wallet and bag, Esmond was about to leave for the door when Carter stopped him.

‘Hey dumbass, listen before you leave without hearing me…

Now, you’ve fucking got the baddest A.I in town cause now I can do some amazing shit.’

“Go on then… take my heart with your spicy words Carter.”

Esmond laugh, while Carter took it as a challenge.

‘Let’s do this bitch!

First of all, I just transferred some stolen funds I have found trafficked through the web…

Ahh ‘web’… such a lovely word we take for granted… anyway, the amount isn’t much, but it is more than enough for you to manage a start-up, BAM! Another word that’s mad!

God this lingo shit is tight!

Tiggghhhtttt.’

Carter sounded so similar to Esmonds farther that it was troubling to listen to.

There were times, Esmond wanted to tell his dad to shut up, but he remembered it was Carter before he said anything.

.

‘Anyhoo, I can do pretty much everything in the Spatial Ark Land without you, buttt done be a prick a leave me alone here.

Right now, I’ve ordered you a car that will take you to a specific store I’ve chosen for you to order some nice suits.

After that we have a meeting with some candidates I have organised to act as our accountants and lawyers that I believe have considerable space for growth and would be beneficial to our plans.’

That wasn’t all, as Esmond entered the taxi outside, he was going through the listen of information popping up on his iPhone.

Esmond kept his headphones in and continued to chat with Carter while the driver took him to the store.

.

‘You won’t believe it, but I’ve managed to order some steel and other materials we need to the Spatial Ark Land, but it will take some time for it to come in.

Also, I’ve got a warehouse where everything will come under your name near the Prospect, a suburb off from the city.’

“So… what am I supposed to do in the meantime?”

‘Wait you ungrateful bastard!

I’ve slaved so hard for you! And this is how you repay!’

“Enough with the Al Pacino voice…”

Carter just laughed, happy with the knowledge he was taking in from the internet at record speeds.

Esmond wasn’t checking much with the system as the sounds it made drowned out and eventually stopped once Carter got a A.I upgrade which gave him a larger amount of control.

‘Esy if I may… We need a shit ton of help and crap ton of resources if we want to compete with the power of the Astrok Empire, even if they are a scrappy empire, they have some serious firepower.

Not that alone, if we want to stop the end of all extinction in 2025, we need to move fast.’

Esmond couldn’t agree more and initiated Carter to make some sound choices and decisions based off the knowledge they gathered in the past.

.

As a former Prince in a past lifetime that was close to an Empire near Earth, he was able to gather some information regarding the past and heard of many companies and organisations that came up and swooped the world over till 2025.

Based on that knowledge, Carter could begin making choices with the markets to earn them some serious coin.

In the meantime, Esmond needed to get a suit and get ready to interview some people.

“Carter, could you do me a favour… could you look into Mom and Dad’s bank and pay off their debt with the money you’ve gathered so far?”

‘It’s done.

First thing I did.

Right now, I’m making sure to cover out tracks and prevent trails from popping up that could lead anything back to us.

Honestly the shows out on the internet and films help enough to indicate how much one should cover their tracks whenever they do anything.

People sneaky as fuck…’ said the man who stole money that was made unlawfully for Esmond to use as start-up funds now.

.

Once they reached the city, Esmond was about to reach out and pay the driver, but Carter alerted him, ‘It’s been paid… you can leave already.’

Not wanting to bother the man further, Esmond jumped out the taxi and went to the tall building on King William Street, as per Carters instructions.

Arriving at the specidifed level by Carter once he entered the tall, busy looking tower, did he realise, the shop wasn’t normal in any single way.

From the beauitufl artistry on the walls to the materials used to make up the floor to the finer details like the pens they used.

Everything was magnificent in Esmonds eyes, but he didn’t expect was the reception his dashing face was causing.

The ladies waiting at the entrance to the store straight from the elevator couldn’t help but ogle at Esmonds smooth lips and piercing eyes.

His muscles were well defined through the tight clothes that barely fitted him anymore since the transformation, but in the eyes of the girls, the package downstairs was tightly shaped enough to let them know what Mr Esmond was packing.

They raced to help him, asking for his name, either with girl on each of his arms, while the third and final girl was taking down Esmonds information, mind you she was hurt she couldn’t be in contact with Esmond some way physical.

.

“Whats happened to the women?”

‘Your face dumbass, your new natural looks are beyond anything people have seen.

Of course, it will cause some women to find you incredibly desirable.

However, I urge you to take control and pull those abilities back.’

Esmond couldn’t figure out what Carter meant for a moment, but then he remembered he just needed to control his bodys operations.

With the transformation of the body and the use of the practise manual from an Imperial Galactic Empire, Esmond could control his body to heights unseen in this world.

In his case, the people on Earth could reach roughly 5 maximum if they went by the scale used to indicate Bens current stats.

But with his strength being 4 times the max amount anyone on Earth could possess, he was virtually invincible with added problems of trying not to shatter everything because of a small slip up.

Even sneezing could be a hassle as it could kill someone if he wasn’t careful.

.

“Arghm… Excuse me sir and for my stair for their behaviour.

As specified by your assistant, we are to rebuild your wardrobe from the scratch up is that correct?”

An elder lady came out from nowhere in Esmonds mind and took control of the situation, sending away the ladies who felt wrong by their manager, before she continued the meeting with Esmond.

“If you would follow me, we shall get everything sorted.”

Esmond was quietly led to lounge where the miss who’d shown him the room, poured him a cup of scotch before handing it to Esmond.

In the meantime, she along with some other ladies who didn’t rush Esmond, came over and took his measurements before leaving shortly after.
