 I put my hand on my chin mumbled "Let's see what we have here. Hm." Invaded world huh? This is my first non normal lawed world. I guess magic and stuff will exist there. Length is also normal first one was brief there are very short and short ones as well it this is good I need time I can use this. But the magical stuff won't work here because of this worlds law, if I understood correctly.

 Okay first world may be combat or research based. Second one should be pretty peaceful but shorter than the first. Third one includes combat as I will be knight there. Third one won't do I at least need some fighting skill before going there. If I understood correctly I need to complete all 3 worlds before I can get another set. Question is which one would be better, one or two?

 After thinking for a while I decided I should select the first world. I can still research there but I shouldn't add anything magical or whatever supernatural stuff I got there to the tech. I hope it will be easy to distinguish the difference. Without waiting further, I selected the first world.

 I opened my eyes in a small apartment and waited for information uploaded to my brain. Sure enough, sting came and go and I started going through my situation.

 "Fuck It would even be better to select the 3 rd option than this world. This is so fucked up." I screamed in my apartment. So basically I am an hunter. Hunter is a warrior that stops otherworldly beings invade the planet. While we are fighting a losing war there is also hope. Last 3 years there were more and more hunters awakened and already awakened ones are got stronger. The strongest hunter, a women named Elizabeth went in for a high level raid to a newly emerged dungeon.

 There are towers and dungeons with different entities inside them. These dungeons needs to be cleared otherwise these dungeons breaks and monsters pour out of them after some time. Towers are different from dungeons. They are much more stable. There are also the places that species who lost their world to the dungeons reside.

 All fantastic entities like dragons, elves, dwarfs, goblins and much weirder things exist as well. The dungeon that the hero went to was an infected place. And unfortunately she got wounded pretty bad there. Wound allowed the infection to spread and now she is put down to coma to slow down to spreading of the infection. When the infected dies her body reanimates like a zombie, becomes mindless murder machine. Usually this takes about a week but hero's constitution is very strong while in coma it will take about 5 to 7 years for her to fall.

 The worst part is world needs her. She really is very important because of her barrier ability our homeland was able to survive already monster infected world. Who knows if she dies and becomes a zombie. She would be pretty strong as one.

 Now the country mobilized all available hunters to find items that can cure her while scientists tried to find a cure.

 First things first lets get the reports about the infection and information about the hero. I hacked the databases around the world to get what I need. After couple of hours of research I found out that infection slowly spreads after being bit or scratched. You can cut your arm or leg to save yourself but hero did get bit from her neck so tough luck. I continued to study the infection for couple of days.

 Awakened body is very strong. I don't get tired much and 3 to 4 hours sleep is enough for rest of the day. I decided it would be better to find the cure first before going along with my own stuff.

 After the research I got the targets that the government has. Couple of good potential cures. First one is the moonflower it is said to be that the flower helps you surpass your potential and bring your body to its best condition.

Would it cleanse the infection? Not sure. Infection strengthens the body its just you die. But it might work, the problem with this flower is that it is extremely rare. I found a database of an underground organization that there is a place that this flower exists, but the place is very hard to clear. In the peak of a mountain protected by corrupted monks that seeks immortality and a fucking eastern dragon. Yeah no, not yet at least. But I know the location of the tower.

 Next the pond of rejuvenation deepest part of a cave system inside a dungeon. A guild found it and collects the water regularly with some sacrifices every time. Should be ready in a year. I will note the path and enemies that I need to defeat. This might or might not work.

 As I was reading I got an idea. Why should I go for these dangerous expeditions. What if I changed all the infected parts of her with the technology I already working on. Yeah it might work. It will take a lot of time though. All the nerves, blood vessels, muscles, organs I need a good surgeon as well. I should start for an ai now.

 My plan is ready but I need a tissue sample data now. To get that I need to access their servers. I got up took a shover, prepared everything I need and went to sleep. I will be connecting to the server tomorrow early in the morning.

 Sun is rising and morning chill still in the air. I am connecting to the server. Encryption is very good for this world, but nothing special for the other worlds I visited. It took long but I found something. Blood tissue and DNA samples good. But I saw something weird. Looks like they are trying to strengthen the virus. Are they trying a weird cure or something?

 I started to analyze the report after couple of hours. Medicine specifically made for her with her dna. Wait no! This is a poison. If injected her death will massively accelerated. This shouldn't happen.

 I intercepted the traffic and changed the data to a harmless component. This should get them busy for a while. I immediately searched anything related to sender and receiver after a while I got a name Layton Mccall a spy probably. In a pretty high position too. There are a lot that would profit from the death of the Elizabeth. Barriers will come down and they will lose a lot of influence as well. Human greed may really be our downfall.

 I need someone politically strong and uncorrupted or at least less then others. Who might knew where is the other spies, I doubt there is only one. Another research session I guess.

 Not long after I found a perfect candidate. Dale Stephens ex officer. Blonde short hair, brown hair, ripped dude with shaved clean face. Now a A rank hunter I generally stay away from fighting as my power is body strengthening and I don't know how to effectively fight against monsters but this guy takes a lot of missions. Lesser paying ones included prioritizes saving lives than money which is admirable. Got a lot of connections as well influential family. Rest of his family were businesspersons he goes to the same café every morning. I should go there tomorrow.

 Next day I got up prepared myself and went out to meet him. After 15 minutes later. I am looking through to window. Inside, he was sitting and sipping his coffee. I walked in an sat in front of him. He looked at me curiously.

John: "Dale Stephens I need your help."

Dale: "Who are you?"

John: "Can we first get somewhere private."

Dale: "First you need to tell me what is this about."

John: "It is about future Dale. It is very important"

 Dale looked curious. And said:

Dale: "Ok there is a restaurant not far from here. Booths are soundproof. But if you try anything…"

John: "I won't I really need you."

 Hopeless fool If I had malicious intentions he would have lost already. We walked out and went to the restaurant got in a room and I started talking.

John: "My name is john I am a hunter like you but my main goal was to save the Ms. Elizabeth."

John: "I was researching something before the dungeons and towers. An artificial muscle." (Little bullshit never hurt nobody.)

John: "Of course muscle is not enough. I need to recreate nerves and vessels and maybe even some organs. I am sure I can do it, but I needed sample, so I hacked the servers of the central hospital for tissue sample data."

Dale: "You did what?!?"

John: "Relax for a minute and listen. I needed the samples for creating suitable parts but I cannot wait longer. Infection will spread to her brain. If that happens I cannot do anything. I cannot replace brain. But that is not why I called you here."

Dale: "You better give me a reason for not handing you to authorities."

John: "Layton Mccall, one of the head doctors is trying to kill Ms. Elizabeth"

 Dale stunned for a moment

Dale: "How do you know that."

John: "I intercepted the traffic and found out that they were trying to make a poison to if injected to an infected person would hasten the spread of the infection and would kill her much faster."

Dale: "Proof?"

John: "Here." I handed her a flash drive. He took it and bring out laptop from his bag to inspect it. His face got uglier and uglier while reading this. After roughly half an hour later.

Dale: "How long do you think would it take the make the poison."

John: "Relax I already changed the poison to something harmless."

 Dale relaxed a bit hearing this.

John: "But we don't have much time. When they understood someone messed with them, they will be much more vigilant."

Dale: "I will deal with that, thank you. But after this I will come see you. You need to explain yourself."

John: "Sure, later."

 I got up and left and started working on AI. I need a surgeon bot.

 Next day while I was working on the ai I got a system notification.

-Mission progression detected reward generating.

-Skill card: Using this card causes host to select a skill to gain knowledge and experience in the subject.

-Please choose one:

 And a list showed up I selected the Close Combat Arts I really needed that. Reward is probably because Dale got to the assassin.

 Sharp sting came and go. I assimilated the knowledge and experience. This will come in handy. Then went back to work. After 2-3 hours later doorbell rang. I got up and saw it was Dale with a women and a man. I opened the door. Dale and others came in. Looked around for a minute and said:

Dale: "As I said I am here. Now explain everything from the start."

 I nodded and I started the explain everything. Including the research. I don't care if they steal it. I won't be able to profit from this work from another world either. Also I too did stole it from someone else. Then the woman that came with Dale spoke:

Woman: "Show me the research. Then we will believe you." Normally I would hesitate if this was my world but as I said I don't care if they steal it.

John: "Sure come with me." I said and lead them to my research area.
