'Well my muscles and bones are already more than developed enough for now so perhaps I should foy survivability. I have two resistaraits so maybe I should grab the others as well. There is also things like my [energy proje] that directly improve the utility of my powers to sider. Or perhaps I should focus on accumuting as much lifeforce as possible so I get any trait I want ter. Fuck I have too many dires to choose from!' I thought with a sigh.-

  My powers came with this irritating dilemma in that I had too many fug options to choose from. I o go against all of my instincts and actually choose a single "build" which is to say how exactly I want my traits to stack up. I admit that I am kinda greedy and want to have all the options and if I wasn't on a deadlihat would be fi I've got four and a half months before my ass o get to Pandora. That being didly strike me as the sort to let me get away from whatever it had in mind so NOT fug going wasn't an option since I kinda value not dying again.-

  Or I could be totally wrong and the being didn't give two shits and wouldn't smite my tight ass for being cheeky(pun VERY intended). I wasn't going to risk it though so I had a deadlio hunt within.

  'Ah shit how do I want to py this? Tank? Dps? Maybe rogue?' I thought with a frown.

  I've pyed every position in video games imaginable and even some dht cursed mixes of a css so I was holy familiar with every way this could go. It hase of course as ohe adrenaline high from the pressure to "get gud" at pying those positions in a party or solo vanished so too did my i.

  'Now that i think about it perhaps I could do that build, I always loved pying it.' I thought with a smile.

  Hydran

  Odinia 4

  Gigantes

  With a build in mind I was able to narrow down my options to these three ps. Despite being vastly different they all shared a siail that made the creatures on them perfect for taking traits from, they were hell ps. I'm not talking like somewhere that humans could reasonably live with serious difficulty but like where the entire p was ravaged by endless storms, earthquakes, radiation clouds and shit so nasty that it was a miracle that anything could survive five minutes much less LIVE there.-

  'Okay so Hydran has a breathable atmosphere but will require either a specialized suit or the devils luck to survive the perpetual radiation and lightning storm that rips across it's face. Odinia 4 on the opposite side of things is a frozen hellscape with an over abundance of active stantly erupting voloes that keep the air filled with soot that will o be filtered to breath. Gigantes oherhand is a straight up toxic sea p with all sorts of nightmarish ditions below it's rough waved surface.' I thought seriously.

  Straight away the st option was taken off as os teo be a bad idea as guns had trouble w uhem and I very much doubt the pce being literal acid would help at all. No gu I was effectively defenseless against whatever lived in those waters, so no thank you. -

  Deg betweeher two proved a little more difficult but in the end I chose to go with Hydran as while I might be able to deal with the storms I was toast if I got caught in a volic eruption. Hydran was a sort of subterranea in how most of the creatures on it lived below the surface with only a few extremely hardy species up on the surfaow that I had that choice settled I ow expin what build I was after. It was the cockroach build. The way the build works is that you effectively ignore any offensive aspects and instead focus your entire build on pure bullshit levels of unkilbleness.-

  Not to say it would make you immortal but rather it would make killing you so ass destroyingly hard that you may as well be immortal. The build was tered around three aspects, elemental immunity or resistance if that was impossible, physical sturdiness(not strength, Important distin) and finally self healing. From these three aspects you build a being that ughed at any attempt at injuring it because even what little damage you mas healed faster than you make it.-

  This was one of those cursed builds that while ly difficult to py made any fight tediously long as you trade nearly all damage for damage redu. The reason for this was that while not dying was great and all you also weren't doing much to kill your enemy either. Unlike in the video games however that's not how it would work iy due to one key detail, GUNS. You see unlike in a video game were a on shows different levels of power depending on who used it that's not how guns work iy. A gun makes no fug distin between a baby, a monkey or an adult, you pull the trigger and that bullet will always hit the same regardless of who or ulled that trigger.-

  Thanks to this the build stopped being cursed a straight to being broken. you even fath to fight someone like that? Nothing you did made any sting impad uhey ran out of ammo the same 't be said of you. It's an uable sario, an impossible to win battle without absurdly massive amounts of ordihe tricky part for me to make that build however was that I knew enough about evolution to know that the only pce traits like that would show up iures is pces of extremely harsh enviros.-

  "I'm sorry but I think I miss heard you boy, you want to go where?" the old man said in disbelief after I told him where I wao hunt.

  "Hydran, you heard me right. That ps got the perfect ditions for the creatures there to have the sort of traits I want. The sort that would make killing me a fools errand." I said seriously.

  "You got jabbers banging on your head boy? That pce is suicide, storm there would rip the life out of you in a blink." he said sternly.

  "Obviously I took that into at, my skin suit and shield keep the radiation at bay but that lightning will need special preparation." I say holy.

  "I'll tell you what boy, you choose a more reasonable p and I'll shell out the cash to have the critters from that death world brought to you. I'll o tighten the belt for a while but it's better than helping you kill yourself." he said firmly making it clear that was the best I was going to get.

  "Hmm, it's not ideal but I 't deny that it would work. I'll still want to fight the creatures fairly though since I am a hunter and prefer when my prey has a ce." I say seriously and the old man thinks about it for a moment befreeing.

  "Don't you tend to shoot them critters in the head?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

  "Yes, but they were perfectly free and able to try and run or fly away or even attack me. I said a ever said they o take it. Ask Hammerlock if you want, he'll agree with me about this." I said with a shrug.

  " Alistair into this, I believe you. You got another p in mind off the top of your dome or will you need more time?" he asked and I thought about it for a moment.

  "Athenas maybe, eet says the pce has a deep history with sirens and even had one as it's queen a decade ago, Dido I believe it was. The local creatures probably don't have many good traits but it would be worth it so long as I find any records about sirens there." I said casually.

  "Well sp me with some butter and call me toast you actually said something smart for a ge. Theres wisdom in trying to learn more about them powers of yours. I'll get Cy to drop you off there while your ship gets built from them parts. Speakin of I had an egghead do some work and they told me you half the size of the implosion drive and thrusters sihe rest of the ship would be so much smaller." he said and I leasantly surprised.

  I mean it made sense sidering the size of the ship that an implosion drive was MEANT to move pared to my theoretical ship. With that part being halved in size the thrusters also didn't o be so massive to push it though I was only going to drop their size by a quarter since I still wahat sick speed it would give me. I started pag for my trip to Athenas after that, not that it required much preparation really as the pce was ruled by monks who all swore oaths of nonviolend was little more than a tourist trap at this point.-

  My preparations were simply a few boxes of ammo, some extra clothes and a st minute mass extermination of the Ratch ies on Eden 6 to collect lifeforce since I and my still developi were hungry for the stuff. The old man was great for this hunt as he funneled all the reports of Rate before having d a few of his rogues join me on the hunt which sped up my speed drastically since as it turned out I could take lifeforce even from stuff I myself hadn't personally killed so long as it was within range of my powers.-

  Anyways this wanton wholesale sughter of the Ratch earned me a nifty 529,611 units of lifeforce. I doubted I would put a dent in that amount in my time on Athenas but I knew without a doubt that those creatures being grabbed from Hydran would give less lifeforce than I spent. Uhey had a bunch of shit traits, which I doubt, there was no fug way I wasn't going to be spending lifeforce like it was sand slipping through my fingers. The old man seemed to uand this and that robably why he only gave me a little trouble when dealing with the Ratch.-

  "Ready to hit the road kid?" Cy asked me while I was going through my m exercise routine in the sim room of my house.

  It was a simple stand off program with me outnumbered ten to one and the enemies using cover and teamwainst me. I used to get wrecked by these sim enemies but now I could sistently win all my fights with them and it only be sidered a light workout for me. If the enemies were humanoid I even sometimes forewent guns and used my muay thai to hunt them though I had a higher lose rate when I did sihey were still using guns and I'm not faster than a bullet.
