Chapter 99: Andromeda Ascendant

Andromeda has finished stabilising her implants to the time scale of Odyessy. Coming from a folded land where time travelled more than seven times faster than normal is a little jarring. Her head feels like a keyhole trying to give birth to a watermelon. Her thoughts travel so fast that Odyessy can't kept up. A specialised environment like the Technology Institute is required to help her acclimatise. 

Since Tyr wants her in-game she had to choose between the Technology Institute, The Barren Seas' Trench Technical College and the Cloud Atlas Development Centre. These three international schools all teach one of the most difficult classes to learn in Odyessy. For the next month, she will learn how to produce magical reactions through technology. 

During the character creator, Overwatch appeared to her as thirty winged naked demigods of a man with a face she can sit on. A body dipped in honey and chocolate she wondered, 'if I will ever see someone so handsome ever again.' Had explained to her that Tyr had gifted a deluxe package. This means she has access to many races normal players don't. 

Overwatch says, "what kind of character would you like to play." Andromeda thinks for a while she has been a Warlord in River of Blood players were locked in an endless war against one another. She was a queen in  Evawonder a dystopian fantasy where players were rampaging exotic beasts battling for supremacy. She raised one of the biggest clans in her time as queen before slaughtering them all to prove she was the best.  In the last game before Odyessy, she played a concubine a position she used to become Spymaster of the Federation. Each time she played she enjoyed a position of power Tyr had promised her that Technomancers enjoy both hard and soft power. 

Andromeda says, " I want to be a Technomancer." She might as well try even if it is difficult it can't be more testing than learning to be a thirteen headed hydra. 

Overwatch smiles, melting Andromedas' heart making her think of all the things she could do to him if she had a few hours and the power to keep him still. Overwatch process the request while it can't give her the class Andromeda specific set of circumstances allow her to play certain testing races rated higher in difficulty than the Drakon. 

Three bodies appear before Andromeda, Overwatch with his tantalizing muscles floats closer and points at the first. The figure is one of an Aziza, the being in front of her is about the size of an average woman. Having four arms and six delicate ambrosia wings. 

Overwatch says, "This here is an Aziza rarely seen outside the floating continent of Heguria. They possess an innate connection to magic. This gives them the racial trait [Magic Mind] as an Aziza level up the magic power inside their brain creates a magic copy. This boosts intelligence and Magic power there is no known upper limit on the magic mind.

Next Overwatch points at the middle figure, She is elegant and enduring having a timeless quality to her besides her grey skin she looks almost exactly like a human. Overwatch says, "This is an Avarra, a living stone person. Only one village exists in all the known worlds. They are master assemblers and closely linked to the original master who taught dwarves, imps and goblins. They are incredibly long-lived and tough boosting some of the toughest skin in the world. Their racial trait is [Relentless spirit] this trait affects all production-related activities. 

The final one is not physically appealing at all. She has translucent skin her hair is a liquid alloy and the inner machinery that makes up her body spins about. Overwatch says, "This is higher module 4R-TT a luxury machine empire model. As a product of Technosorcery This module excels at Technomancer first constructed to aid in this endeavour. As such the popularity of the model eventually caught on to the Highest echelons of Machine society. This model's unique affinity with all things Technomancey means that is a powerful platform to raise one skill in this endeavour." 

Andromeda knows a specialist when she sees one. The Model 4 is limiting in other aspects with its strict focus on technomancy it has no other growth opportunities. Also, the various high-quality mineral and metals used in production mean that maintenance will be a huge pain in the ass. Most Copper Alloys in the machine society are numerous because their material costs are very low and easily found all across the world. The model is also not suited for combat or solo action. It meant to play a support role which is the opposite of her style. She looks over the Aziza, Andromeda knows what she doesn't like leaving only the Avarra.

Andromeda selects the Avarra selecting Obsidian as a base skin colour for her Avarra. She also goes for the classic features matching her c-cup and other measurements exactly. The Dark stone, orange eye Avarra is born. The Avarra has many benefits besides having the ability to basics tank damage due to her high defence she can use the various upgrade slots to make herself stronger. Of all things that stood out here, the two hundred and six upgrade slots are eye-catching. While the Aziza magic mind is limitless it is also automatic meaning she doesn't have direct control over how it grows. 

Overwatch stitches Andromedas' mental of herself onto the Avarra it starts to take on qualities that make it lossless resemble Andromeda. She had already selected her started location when she received the gift from her brother. Starting in the Kingdom of Asrugo Capital city Tarkin the seat of power of house Tar. The capital is a mix of ancient and modern buildings having existed since time immemorial. It has buildings of all various ages. At its centre the Eternity Spire it is one of the oldest structures in the world. This tower stretches a kilometre into the air. 

Andromeda sees only humans walking around. Even the players here are all human as far as she can see she is the only none human around. At first, the guards are not sure what to make of her. As a student of the Technology Institute, she shares the rank as a baron and must be treated with respect. Many children walking around pointing to her having never seen a live none human before.

Andromeda follows the marker to a building besides the Eternity Spire. The Technology Institute completely surrounds the Spire as the chief object of research. The Kingdom has spared no expense even going so far as to allow the Hungara Combine and the Thane Imperium to be involved in it. The benefits have made these three countries the most powerful on the continent. Though it must be said that Asrugo does magnificent hiding the fact that is also as strong as the others. Propaganda agents have worked hard to turn down the threat perception of Asrugo. 

At the pericopes of the Institution Andromeda takes a look around here the people are all interested in their own things. Scores of students walking to class and lectures busy as bees. The marker leads her to the Directors' Office. His office is littered with scrolls dust and old plates. The man is so blinded by his research that he didn't even hear Andromeda knock or enter his office.

The grumblings of a mad man escape ever now then as the Director has a serious debate with himself on the nature fluidic magic essence. 

After Andromeda gets his attention by throwing a dial of some kind at the man and quickly pretending to stand by the door. 

"Ouch what the? Yes, you there you are the one. Here take this girl and go about your day." With a single glance, he had seen through completely handing over her quest.

Andromeda leaves the offices outside she is greeted by a short triple-thick glass wearing woman. She speaks with a shrill voice. " Follow me, girl, your kind has a special dormitory. We will also stop by the Spire Dress you will need a special suit to enter the Eternity Spire where most of your classes will be held. No question keep up tsk.

Also please remember to stay away from any rooms marked restricted. National secrets are held in this Institute and not a burnt piece of paper has been stolen from us in over a thousand years." 

For such a short glade past everything, the corridors become a maze of shut doors. Andromeda follows as close as she can. She is handed a lot of items that she has to go through! 

Andromeda is fitted and booted into a knee short skirt with a white and green top. Looking at all the other students. She now has to enter the massive Eternity Spire...
