(Pov-3rd)
People scream as they try to run through the chaos happening around them.
The sky is pitch black as the ground, buildings, and people get pulled into the sky.
All is destruction before a bright light explodes from the center of the event covering the planet.

Within a futuristic room, a young boy with black hair wearing nothing but a pair of grey boxers with blue stars on them lies on a smooth white floor on his side in an unconscious state. A metallic cable connected to the boys back spreading arcs of electricity around his body, causing him to release a sharp gasp as his ocean-blue eyes snap open.
"I'm alive! Haha! I lived bitch!" Jumping to his feet, the boy quickly pats down his body before looking around the room with a grin "Don't know where I am, and the only thing I remember before waking up here was darkness. Fuck yeah! That means I'm in an isekai!"
As if to prove his point, a black holographic screen appears in front of him with golden text sliding across its surface.

"Sweet! Don't know what it's talking about with the dominion stuff but I'll probably get an answer in half an hour" Watching as the screen Dissipates into pixels Lucas brings a hand up and taps the side of his head with a smug grin
Lucas: "I know you're up Jackson~ You owe me thirty bucks, you robotic bastard!"
A quick Tch is heard from the back of his head as a robotic voice sounds like a mix between an alcoholic uncle and a chill surfer bro.
Jackson: "God Damn it! Fine I'll get you your damn cash, fuckin smug meat bag"
Lucas: "What was that, you bucket of bolts!?"
Jackson: "You heard me, flesh puppet!"
With a huff, Lucas makes his way around the ruined room before stopping to look at the locker of a scientist making him shrug and begin stealing the clothes with a small smile.
Lucas: "Sorry to whoever owned this but better clothed than naked and something tells me you ain't gonna need it"
Jackson: "See if they had a wallet in there too"
Putting on the jean pants and black turtleneck shirt lucas watches as the clothes begin to glitch and lag for a second before rubberbanding back onto him, now in his proper size making him and Jackson whistle as he puts on some Nike shoes.
Jackson: "Not bad~"
Lucas: "Found a cheaper way to get outfits~"
Putting on the lab coat, Lucas looks in a slightly broken mirror and notices that it is more of a mix between a poncho and a jacket, which actually looks really cool. This causes him to smile as he pulls up his new goggles. <
Jackson: "Now that you're dressed where are we going from here?"
Lucas: "For now just a walk. Whatever happens, happens"
Shrugging Lucas begins to make his way through the ruined building whistling the ants go marching as he walks over the rubble from the destroyed roof before exiting what was the basement of an office building into a ruined city. <
As he looks at the city, he holds his head for a second as a wave of dizziness hits him, along with images that flash rapidly: a gamepad, people in lab coats, and a black sky.
Shaking his head lucas begins walking along the roads and stretches his arms making a pop sound before looking around in caution as his stomach drops in warning causing him to notice how quiet the abandoned city around him is.
Jackson: "What's up?"
Lucas: "This doesn't feel right. Where are the animals and people? I can't even hear birds anymore, and some of these buildings are collapsing from erosion which takes years to happen.
Jackson: "But if it's been that long, someone would try to move back here and retake it right? So where are they?"
Stopping in his tracks Lucas spots the bones of a person in the middle of the street. However, the most damning thing about it was that the clothes on the skeleton were torn at the waist as the two separate halves were about 20 feet apart.
\
[New Funtion Added! Map!]
[Location Found! Infested City. Location added to Map]
/
Shaking his head to clear the small throbbing caused by the new mental compass in his mind Lucas begins to look around at the dark corridors and buildings in worry before he freezes.
???: "Daisy~ D-D-Daisyyyy~"
Hearing the glitching and distorted song echoing from a building farther in the city Lucas wastes no time turning around and beginning to sprint at full speed to the beach in the distance.
Jackson: "What the fuck was that?!"
Lucas: "Don't know don't fucking care!"
Spotting a beach house on top of a cliff overlooking the beach Lucas begins to sprint along the sidewalk to the cliff avoiding as much sand as possible to keep his speed before jumping up and flipping onto a tree to jump to the roof and through an open sky window before closing and locking it behind him.

Jackson: "Lock the others"
"No shit Jackson!" Rushing around the house I lock every window in the house before finally locking the front door and sliding down its wood to sit on the floor with heavy breaths as the adrenalin leaves my veins.
"Fuck I don't want to do that shit again" I sigh while combing my fingers through my hair
Jackson: "You know, I usually give you shit for being paranoid and never trusting stuff. But I think I get it now"
"Well, at least you learned something from that" I huff before a new holographic screen appears in front of me.

I hold my head in pain as a stream of information flows into it at a rapid pace, feeling like I've been stuck in this position for days before it stops. Wiping the small tears from my eyes I gently swipe my hand through the air and watch as a small light gray screen with 6 tabs appears with the effect of multi-colored pixels.
\
[Objects] [Weapons][!] [Entities][!] [NPC's][!] [Vehical] [Mods]
/
Clicking on the NPC's tab, I spot the card of a small robotic creature with a large head and one eye, mounted on 4 robotic legs and a strange symbol on its head while the top of the card reads Roachster.
Jackson: "Isn't this from one of those old shows you watched as a kid?"
"Yeah, it was called Code something" I nod while looking over to the Entities tab and spot the card of a ball of pixels with a green plus mark on its surface that reads Pixel Medic.
Jackson: "What the hell was the name of that show?!"
"It pissing you off?" I ask with a smirk as I quickly read over the description of a gravity hammer from Halo which was currently the only weapon in the tab of its category.
Jackson: "No shit! This damn name is gonna annoy me for the rest of the fucking day if I don't!"
I smile as focus on the code of the Roachster and snap my fingers causing sparks of pixelated sparks to bounce along the ground before they begin to glitch and stretch before rubberbanding into five Roachsters that look around before focusing on me and crawling closer. <
Jackson: "Code Lyoko! Got it! Fuck this little thing I hate it"
Ignoring him I pick one up and hold it in front of me with a smile before looking to the other four "So I summon you, little guys, in groups of five, huh? Cool~" I watch as they tilt their heads like a puppy causing me to chuckle.
~Tic Tic Tic~
My breath hitches as I hear something outside, causing me to quickly move from the door while dropping the Roachster in my hands. It lands on its mechanical legs and scatters in front of me, along with the other five, ready to protect me as I back up from the door.
It's completely quiet before something smashes through the window and reaches its full height. It looked like a pale white deer or maybe a hyena whatever it was it had no eyes and holes all over its body along with mushrooms and other plants growing out of it before it looked in our direction and smiled causing a shiver to travel up my spine. <
Jackson: "Ugly fucker isn't it?"
"Yeah. I'll throw up later" With a snap of my fingers the Roachsters all began firing at the creature causing it to let out shaky chuckles as chunks of its flesh were seared by the laser fire.
Shambling toward a Roachster the creature kicked it across the floor where it rolled before getting back to its legs as a set of numbers appeared over the Roachsters head. [Lp:16/50]
Jackson: "Why aren't you using your gravity hammer on this thing?"
"No. I always wanted a beach house property" I huff as I watch a Roachster burst into red pixels leaving only four left.
Jackson: "I don't care, this thing is disgusting and I want it gone"
"But Summer home!" I cry while two other Roachters get Pixilated.
Jackson: "Rock, Paper, Scissors. If I win you kill that thing. You win, you can summon more Roachsters and kill it."
"Deal~" I grin while another Roachster is destroyed leaving one that runs around the couch taking potshots when it's far enough.
Jackson: "Alright. Rock"
Lucas: "Paper"
Jackson: "Scissors"
Both: "Shoot!"
Lucas/Jackson: "Rock / Paper"
Jackson: "Get it the fuck out of here!"
"Damn it, dude! My Summer home!" I shout while jogging over to the couch and jumping onto the arm to use as a platform to jump higher as I hold back my arms allowing for the Gravity hammer to appear in a wave of pixels. <
Landing in front of the Creature with a spin, I swing like a baseball bat, causing the hammer to indent its chest just as I activate the switch on the back of the handle. This causes a wave of gravity to pulse around the creature's chest, launching it, along with a large chunk of the house, off the cliff and into the seawater below.
"God Damnit! Now we have to find a place to stay for the night. Fuck, my summer home" I curse while snapping my fingers to create another five Roachsters which begin to line up behind the last survivor of the first summons.
Jackson: "You can always just loot this place and try to find a high-rise apartment in the city. That was also something you wanted right?"
"Fine" I sigh before looking to the Roachsters and motioning my head forward "Come on little guys, let's go find a place to stay" I begin to walk through the rubble towards the city while spawning another three groups of Roachsters because I ain't getting jumped.

{Finally found a notebook in this place. Okay, weekly recap! After the first day, I managed to find and secure a 7-story apartment complex in this cursed city. It's by the beaches so whenever I clear this city out of every creature dwelling in it I'll take a vacation on the beach. now for the things I want to keep track of.}
{One]- The NPC/Entities I summon don't despawn unless their Life Points hit zero like in Yugio. I can only summon a select number of NPCs before I receive a maximum Enities message, honestly, the whole thing seems like the spawning in Gmod, just refit to work in reality or wherever the hell I am right now. They follow my orders with my safety being their top priority, and Jackson can even take control of one if I allow it, so he's been fuckin around with a Roachster which took on a black color pallet with golden decals.}
{Two]- My weapons. Right now I have the gravity hammer as my main because why the fuck would I not, and I also found a revolver in the office desk of someplace we looted. gotta love Texas~ I don't have to worry about ammo because I can just keep reloading the Revolver with full ammo, Which is something I'm gonna do with every gun I get from now on.}
Looking up from my notebook I watch as two Roachsters chase each other around the room before shaking my head with a smile and continuing to write.
{Three- The Mod tab is literally what it means. It allows me to download mods that add stuff to my tabs, one such mod I downloaded was a few droids from Star Wars, which was added to the NPC tab, and Scp-261, which is where I've been getting my food and drinks from even though I don't need them anymore because-.
{Four- As I found out the hard way I'm a being made entirely out of data. My body is still human but that's just an avatar as the domain I rule over is the digital realm. How I found out was when a creature cut my arm off from a lucky hit and I watched as cubed pixels folded over each other until it reformed my arm and clothes. Which are extremely rare in this city.}
{Speaking of the City. . . I need to explore it today. Scp-261 is pretty much a vending machine that can dispense any type of food, but it needs money. . . Which I've run out of and didn't want to just scan and load. On the pulse side! This allows me to experiment with my code a bit to see if I can make a system that gives me stats and if I can manipulate them}
{End of Recap week 1}
Closing the notebook, I get up from the desk and walk out into the living room. I spot two cube-shaped stones with a large eye holding the Xana symbol in the center of all four sides. They are held up by a turret platform that moves around the house using six small crab-like legs, giving them a height of 5'7 ft. <
"I never get used to how tall a Blok is," I pat the top of one of their stony surfaces, causing it to release a few high-pitch beeps before continuing to survey the area like the good little turret it is.
Jackson: "Nor how much firepower the little bastard has ether. Their laser is twice as powerful as a Roachster, then they have a freeze ray and flame rings. Like why?"
"Guess Xana wanted to make them the perfect turret? They do work pretty well together as a group," I hypothesize while stepping off the balcony and landing on the concrete with a huff. I wipe off the dust that got kicked up and continue walking.
Jackson: "Yeah a little too well. They flanked and froze the body of one of those creatures in the city before they fired their lasers at its exposed head to kill it. These fuckin things should have killed the Lyoko crew eons ago"
"True. But hey, got to give the kids a bit of plot armor" Swiping my hand causes a cloud of pixels to form into a 7'7 foot tall mechanical crab with four long slender scythe-like legs that have a black hull and golden decals that glisten in the sun as it shakes its body before looking at me and kneeling a bit. <
Jackson: "Hop on boss. We have a city to save"
"Yeah? What the hell are we saving besides the empty streets" I ask with a smirk as I jump on and sit crisscross on his shell as he begins crawling through the streets.
Jackson: "Well that depends on if we find anything~ I hope it's something cool though. I'm getting bored of these 'monstrous' creatures"
"Yeah. After you see something made of stitched-together flesh once, you've seen it all. Especially when you can bat it a few miles away with a swing of your weapon" I sigh while leaning back and laying down with my arms behind my head
Jackson: "Or shoot a hole through it with a laser shot. . . Where the fuck are we going?"
Sitting up, I swipe my hand to open a map screen before looking around at the dilapidated buildings. "We should be leaving our cleared area in a second. Just keep straight, then go where you want. It's not like much is here." I wave the screen away and lay down again.
We both enjoy the silence of the city for a bit before I pat the top of Jackson's hull "I'm gonna go to sleep for a bit, I'll send you a minimap so if you need it you can just use that" I yawn before starting to doze off.
.
.
.
waking up with a groan I rub the cold out of my eyes and blink rapidly to adjust to the sunlight In my eyes, only to look up and see a sandy field full of massive metal ducks the size of a two-floor building riddled with bullet holes in various calibers. <
looking down I spot Jackson looking at the map screen. . . Which was upside down! "Jackson! Where the FUCK are we!" I shout making him flinch and dismiss the screen
Jackson: "Look I got lost alright! Then tripped into a weird glitching tornado that I walked into 'cause it looked cool that landed us here!"
Taking a deep breath I summon a pillow and immediately scream into it for a few minutes before throwing it away "Fuck It, Fuck it! Alright?! We'll roll with it! Goddamn it!"
Jumping off his hull I Quickly swivel on my heel while summoning my hammer before launching Jackson into the sky with a huff as he screams.
Jackson: "That's fair!"
Desummoning my hammer, I open my screens and look at all the messages I received while sleeping, and quietly create a notification function and ranking system for them.

/
I stare blankly at the screen for a bit as Jackson crashes to the ground making a small crater in the sand as he groans in pain "Well good news and bad news. The good news is that I still have my summons even though there is a limit on what I can summon"
Jackson: "And the Bad news?"
"The Bad news is that we can't return to the world we were in before because we didn't find something called a Codex Tower to get the world's Digital Coordinates, which act as a waypoint in the Digital Sea we call the Internet," I explain while replacing the Krab with a B1 Battle droid causing Jackson to sigh. At the same time, he holsters his blaster on his back.
Jackson: "Well shit. . . I'm not allowed to drive anywhere am I?"
"What do you fucking think," I huff while turning to summon a navy blue 1972 El Camino and sit in the driver's side and start the car as he gets in and puts on his seat belt along with me.
"Now let's see here" Opening the Map I spot the location of the codex tower which is apparently in Ohio which makes me sigh " Always said I'd never go to Ohio now here we go on a goddamn isekai road trip to it" I mumble with dead eyes as I begin to drive down the road.
Jackson: "Yay! Road Trip!"
"00110/10101/00011/01011 - 11001/01111/10101" I say with narrowed eyes causing him to laugh harder.
