Returning Home

"Confirming User wishes to return to original world?" (Hermes)

"Lets go home." (Rick)

There was a flash of light and Roran felt like the ground disappeared from beneath him. He felt like he was in free fall. Then there was darkness.

...Reestablishing nano-link... User prepare for some discomfort.

All of a sudden Roran felt a massive wave of pain. His head felt like it was going to explode as all the memories from the other world flooded into his mind. Roran clenched his jaw and attempted to bear it. After about thirty minutes of hell, the pain slowly subsided.

Roran exhaled and the cabin pod opened up. The needle in his arm retracted and a cold mist of chemical solution was sprayed on his arm.

"Welcome back Roran. You have been away for some time." (Hermes)

"Thank you Hermes. Although it feels weird, since we talk almost everyday." (Roran)

"That is merely a copy of myself, a lesser version. It is one of the reasons I requested you return." (Hermes)

"What has changed since I was in the cabin?" (Roran)

"Many things have changed. You're now the wealthiest and most mysterious man in the world, also I have expanded our influence over every continent. I destroyed any evidence of your existence from the internet. With your fortunes I began to build a large conglomerate of companies. With this I was able to learn the identity of the agency Steven stole the cabin from. They call themselves Prometheus. Their goal is to collect all technology that could easily influence the world, technology that could send the world into the new era. They control the release of the technology and with it the World. They are very secretive even the heads of states don't know of their existence. With the power the have collected they control everything. They are the true Illuminati." (Hermes)

Roran took a minute to process the information that he was given.

"What other changes have taken place?" (Roran)

"With the companies you own I was able to collect the required materials needed to upgrade my systems. This in turn will allow me to upgrade your nano-link. You will be able to upgrade yourself. I have the patents of numerous technologies from my world. With your permission I would like to use some of them to help upgrade your body. All of this will be done through the nanites and some medications I will have created and shipped here. This was also the reason you did not see any stat growth in the other world. Between the lesser A.I. system and the fact that your nanites were not advanced enough. Now however you will be able to upgrade your stats in that world." (Hermes)

"Good then lets begin all of this." (Roran)

Roran stood up to get out of the cabin and immediately fell down. All of a sudden a human sized robot walked over and helped him to a wheel chair.

"Sir your body has not moved for over a year. Even with the nutrients and being in stasis it will take some time to get used to again. For now I recommend you eat something and then take a bath. This will help your body readjust." (Hermes)

Roran was more shocked by the robot that had assisted him then the fall he just had.

"Hermes did you make this?" (Roran)

"Affirmative. I had purchased a robotics company for the express company of having hands to manage all of your affairs. This one is the base model with no extras added. I call the finished ones full synthetics." (Hermes)

As he said that a beautiful naked women walked through a door. Roran was shocked at first, but Hermes informed him this was a finished product. The unfinished one was a male body, but was white all over. It looked like a human body with no skin and all the muscles exposed. Just that the muscles were white.

"Even though I can control multiple companies and many tasks from here. I needed a human face, eventually people will want to meet. So I created these. I have forged entire lives for them. They themselves don't even know that they are synths. They have lives and children, collect a check, and pay taxes. They just feel incredibly loyal to this company and can never betray your secrets. Every employee of your company is a synthetic. I also made one that resembles you but gave it no memories. This way the few people who do know you would not notice your absence." (Hermes)

Roran was shocked. He didn't know if he should be happy, scared, or what.

"Hermes how many of the synthetics are there?" (Roran)

"Exactly 1273" (Hermes)

"We will discuss this more later." (Roran)

Roran left towards his house to rest up and eat. After Roran took a bath and ate he felt much better it was then that he went and checked his property. This for so long was all that he wanted. A few acres of land to do what he wants with, and a nice house to call home.

When Roran got back to his house he told Hermes to give him a list and accounts of every business he owned. It took him almost two whole days to go over everything. But after it was all said and done. He was a majority shareholder in thirty of the wealthiest businesses in the world, he had several business that were completely under the radar but would completely upset the balance of the world. He also owned several banks, a weapons research company, a pharmaceutical company, a large research company, a hospital, the biggest law firm, and the patents to numerous technologies and medical formulas. And all the subsidiary companies underneath the ones he owned. If everything he owned was sold it would be worth trillions of dollars. And Hermes had hid it all.

"This makes me think of the Umbrella Corporation." (Roran thought out loud to himself.)

"Hermes why do we need all of this? I understand the need for money and influence but isn't this overkill." (Roran)

"Sir your enemies can control all the World Governments. The power they wield is unimaginable, and the worse part is that they can use it with impunity. They are the true rulers of the world. They have been around since before prerecorded history. I have found reports of them all over the world. There are even records of them in early Mesopotamia. That is 3000 years before the one called Christ came to be. Sir please remember. My sole purpose is to assist and protect you, I will never do anything to betray you." (Hermes)

"Alright Hermes. Now tell me about these upgrades. How will it all work? (Roran)

"Using different nanites and medications were are going to strengthen your body. Then we will allow new nanites to grow inside you. They will reinforce your body and your mind. Think of it like being a cyborg but remaining human. I can explain the exact science if you like Sir?" (Hermes)

"That will not be necessary. When can we begin?" (Roran)

"Now Sir, head to the cabin." (Hermes)

Roran made his way to the cabin under the barn. Once he was there he noticed the synthetic was there she was fully clothed now.

"This one is known as Delores. I will assist Hermes in your upgrade." (Delores)

Delores was a tall white woman. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. With high cheek bones and a long slender neck. She was very fit and had perky C cup breast, and a firm round ass. She was created to look perfect and distract men.

"Sir remove you clothing and lay down in the pod." (Delores)

Roran stripped and got in. Once he was inside the pod began to scan his body. After several syringes came out and injected different medications into his body. He began to feel warm and sleepy.

"Sir we are going to sedate you for the next part. It would be to painful and may cause you to go into cardiac arrest." (Hermes)

As Roran was falling asleep he saw Delores walking over with a large syringe filled with a metallic substance. It looked like liquid mercury. After Roran fell asleep, Delores injected him with the substance. Roran's body began to heat up and a sheen of sweat began to form. Shortly after a black liquid started excrete from his pores. This was all the impurities inside his body. The nanites were fixing everything wrong with him. During the process the pod closed and continuously scanned Roran. Several times through out the process Roran would be injected with a medication or more nanites. It took several hours to complete but when it was done Roran had subtly changed.

Roran looked at himself in the mirror. He now stood a few inches taller, and noticed his body was more supple. He had defined muscles but they appeared softer and stronger. He also noticed all of his scars were gone. He was a whole new man, almost like he was reborn.

Delores walked up to him holding some clothing. As he was getting dressed Hermes spoke to him.

"Sir, are you ready to see your new stats?"
