That's totally a nerve-wracking day one in another universe, like seriously seeing a fictional city with its own landmark, a bank robbery closed up and meeting the teen titans. It does feel crazy the first day and all of that happening it really shows you how different it is from my home universe.
I left out a huge sigh thinking about it, lounging around in the rv, you can see items and tools laying around, it really does drain you the whole things i just got here and this action after action that are happening is really heavy in the mind, it also make me feel unsafe even if i know that i hold one of the most powerful device in the universe.
It has always been like this for me, when heavy stuff happen and i need to do something to improve myself i can only just do the beginning part and just play around and do nothing, only feeling the guilt of loss potential of myself
I don't want to be that person anymore, I want to be a better version of myself, exponentially better than myself in my previous universe, now that I have the tools and opportunity I have to use it to its end. And I just wish that I have this fire inside of me back in my home universe to do great things well like someone used to say.
" Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment Would you capture it, or just let it slip?"
And I would be damned if I let it slip. I will be someone that even my old self will be proud of
'Let's start by doing some cleaning,' I solemnly said in my heart. I quickly stand up and look around seeing the mess that I make. It's gonna take some time to clean this but i know what i can do to fasten it up. I look down to my wrist there, strap to my arm the omnitrix emitting a green glow.
I smirk before putting my left hand in front of me. My right grab the dial on the watch. The screen on the omnitrix opens showing alien after alien but i am looking for a specific alien. Then I stopped turning the dial as I saw the one I was searching for.
It looks like a dinosaur even though that's a very bad description for it. I think even the native alien would be offended for being compared to a velociraptor. They're faster and more agile than any animal on earth that I know of. Of course knowing that I am in the dc universe there may be an animal that is fast AF.
Doesn't matter now. I gently tap the screen of the watch before I am engulfed in a green light. My body felt bent and contorted to many angles. My body, hand and legs slimed a wheel like feet. Transforming into aliens is amazing.
I start feeling the instinct of a Kineceleran. I look around the messy room and before I accelerate a visor comes down.
A blue blur can be seen inside the RV. like a tornado i grab and put tools and item in their place
I put bags of trash that can be seen in front of the RV. the inside of it can be said that it is squeaky clean. I think I see reflection on something that arent supposed to have one. Oh well nevermind the thing is now i have a clean RV with a segmented place for a mini lab that greymatter can use. I plan to do it after I take a bath first.
I transformed back, grabbed a new towel from a newly organized cabinet before entering the also newly cleaned bathroom.

The shower really feels refreshing, it helps me clear my mind of what I am about to do. I know this universe is really not the nicest but it also has people or aliens if you also include him. Gods in human form and what always amazes me of the dc pantheon is that they are so kind.
Well i hope they are, just have to wish this is not a dark multiverse
Grabbing a towel I started to dry myself before wrapping it around my waist, grabbing a toothbrush and adding a little bit of paste on it, before I brushed my teeth.
It can be seen from the reflection of the mirror myself, well if i can describe what i looks like is that i still look half-arab like what i was in the previous universe but added to it some caucasian to it, well the thing is the memory that i inherited from my other self is really full of hole only the important bit is there ' i guess trauma can do that'.
I also have many memories from my former world that I forget mostly from my earlier years. I guess the less baggage the better
The wavy hair, a chiseled jawline, a sharp nose and most importantly is 6 feet tall, that was not there before. Even if I could say that I was above average in looks, I am totally not in the 6 feet category. I was more of a short king if i could say.
Analysing the body that I have now. I can see potential for improvement especially if I let greymatter make a highly efficient workout routine. And last is a new addition of somewhat green eyes. More of a sage green with low light that is somehow emitted from it.
Research then. It all comes back to research to move forward that is totally needed. I quickly finish brushing my teeth, closing the faucet and drying myself with a towel.
I search for a comfy hoodie and trainer combo in my closet for maximum comfort.
I boot up my laptop. Sitting down in a ready position in the dining table area of the RV. first i needed money i already have some idea that i could totally work on but first let's search for what the market offers.
I search for software that do video editing, 3d animation software, game engine and most other in the entertainment side of things. And from what I get is that most software like this is so bad and priced badly that I couldn't just help myself from laughing my ass off.
They're about to have some competition. And a competition they will get. But I think that it is weird that they have none. I just searched for alternatives but all I can find is a lackluster of half baked software.
The indie scene of this world is really not going great isn't it. Ok what else that seems to lack an indie touch to it.
I search for the game store platform in this universe. I raise my eyebrow seeing the name of the store 'seriously haze did someone just put the word steam in a thesaurus and pick the coolest sounding one'
And what I found flabbergasted me. " where the fuck is all the game" i cant help but said outloud. I quickly re-look for the most popular store. I thought what I clicked was the wrong store. But it really is the steam equivalent of this world.
I searched for many of the games that should've been released at this time. But I found none and I already searched the store once more. All i could find is some minigames type of games with a dash of racing games and shooters
"Where are all the RPGs and single player story driven games that I know ?" I could not even find skyrim, and according to my calendar that game should have been released for at least 9 years.
And idea pop, with glee I could just make games with my memories of games as inspiration. ' oh yes, i have so many games that i would take my hands in that i could improve with this world level of tech and game engine'
But first i need to build something, i grab books and paper from storage laying it down on the table. I tap my finger to the screen of the omnitrix. A little panel popped up from the watch. I grab the dial and choose greymatter before pushing it back in
Now that I am greymatter with his intelligence I can finish the tools that I needed to start first with a 3d printer. I sketch a detailed drawing of the 3d printer and instructions for it. That xlr8 can be made in an instant, before transforming back I get to my laptop to write a code that will make the 3d printer run.
It kind of feels sluggish for greymatter to code with a normal sized keyboard. And a custom made keyboard for a galvan is totally number one priority.
After the coding finished. I turn back to my human form for a moment before turning into xlr8. Looking at the detailed instructions I quickly grab all the items needed and build the 3d printer like I am some lego master builder.
The building process finished in like 10 minutes and most of the time was spent looking back and forward to the instruction. And now I have a highly accurate 3d printer, as a human I connected a usb from my laptop to the port in the printer. it starts compiling and will probably take a moment.
Now I need to wait for a moment. Putting my hoods up I lounge in the chair to get some quick rest. Turning to alien does put some strain on you
–
The quick rest was totally needed i am still new to this alien transforming thing and it really cost some stamina to use
A click sound could be heard announcing that the compiling and upload is finished. I grab some filament that I bought to position.
With my okey level 3d modelling skill I model all the parts that are needed following all the drawing and spec that greymatter gives. Thank the presence that it was all simple shaped making it easier to model.
Selecting all the parts I upload the file to the printer. And it quickly went to work the nozzle work with precision molding the 3d model file that I made into reality in the printer bed. It takes around 10 minutes for the printer to finish.
I grab the small part and the electronics part, for the last part I need help from upgrade all the electronics, I already have all the items needed. I just need them together.
A green flash of light can be seen as I transform to upgrade and with his power I finally finished building a special keyboard for a galvan. And i would like to say that 'wow engineering is really hard and time consuming just to produce one item'
–
It has been a week since the day that I built the 3d printer.
I have made many other tools with the printer but the most important piece in my opinion is the autonomous driving system that I make. And wow that that one project took a lot of time, I even need to build a new data compressing system, because I don't think a Raspberry pi can handle all that data streaming in.
I decided to use a combination of Lidar and camera for important spot and will look into scaling it up later,
I have also tried to use the game engine that this world provides. I recreated Minecraft and realized that the game engine in this world sucks so much. I make a game engine myself.
I also registered a company in the name of 'Omnitech' with a child company named 'Insomniac studio' for games related releases. The document that was in my hand just one hour ago, I kinda need to make the company here because I am planning to go on a roundtrip, and jump city will be the only city I will stay for longer than the others.
Also in the time that i need for the company paper to be made i also decided to upgrade the lab inside the RV. greymatter has so many ideas of improving stuff and also building tools to make all the electronics parts I need in house so that I only need to buy raw material.
Now that the company is registered I now can upload and sell the software that I make. Opening my laptop I quickly made a website for OMNITECH making it a modern look with an interactive menu and quick to load even for the most potato of computers. In the website download menu i uploaded 2 different software a game engine called "GalvaEngine" and a 3d modelling called "metamorph" that is similar to blender from my former world the difference is that it is more advanced more easy for beginner and work great for professional
Well for that i have to see the feedback from users and adapt the software from the data that i will be getting.
The website is now completely online for anyone to download now the last thing i need to do is marketing, what's the use of selling a good software if no one know that it exist, i have already prepared a video that will be uploaded to youtube
Now in my company's youtube channel i uploaded the video, now i know that just uploading a video to youtube will not be enough to make people aware of the video and it's not like people go to youtube searching for ads for a software.
Because of that greymatter has created a code that will make the video pushed to anyone that has a history of art or in need of a software, it uses some machine learning and of course hacking to the youtube algorithm to make it to the top of everyone's main timeline.
Now that the video is done and the code is running on the side i can left that running for a day or two and see the result then i have priced the software in two brackets a free version with a tools that professional may need not there so they need to buy the pro version for 250 $ one time buy.
I use the same pricing strategy as davinci and i guess i just don't want to be like adobe.
Ok i think i have all the things i need to do in the city done and let us hit the road. I sat on the driver seat to start driving from the city.
Fifteen minutes later the skyline shrank in the rear-view. The road straightened into a ribbon of asphalt, and the hum of the engine was the only companion.
I tapped the console, and the RV's autodrive system chimed to life, taking over the wheel. I reclined, hands behind my head, letting the AI handle the endless highway while sunsets painted gold across the windshield.
