Reincarnated Into A Transformer In Cybertron With A System - Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Upgrade
Night Shadow looked at the dead man. The man was 5′ 11, had a good build, black long hair, and wearing a white-red colored robe. The man was quite good looking but the injuries and the blood made him look ugly and gross. Night Shadow did not care about his looks and examined his clothing.
‘Where have I seen this…’
Suddenly, Night Shadow recognized where he was. Night Shadow had an urge to cry.
‘OUT OF ALL PLANETS I COULD BE ON, WHY?!!!’
Night Shadow fell on his knees and had a hopeless expression planted on his face. He started cursing his luck for 10 minutes before he let out a hopeless sigh and looked at the Fallen Phoenix’s condition.
The Fallen Phoenix got a lot of internal damage but not much damage on the electrical parts or anything delicate, thankfully. Cracks were all over the hull of the spaceship. Night Shadow just let the spaceship remain there. Because of the Rarified Energon, the hull started regenerating but it would still take time. Plus, the energy of the Fallen Phoenix could be recharged and so he could take off from this planet. Night Shadow wasn’t planning to stay here but there was something he wanted to do here before getting off this planet.
Now that Night Shadow was free, he checked the messages of the system.
………………………………….
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission]
[Mission –
Participate in the war and kill at least 200,000 beings.
Grade – A
Rewards – 50 Points for each kill, 1000 XP for each kill, and unlimited Energion to the host’s core wherever he goes ]
[Kills – 1,210,100]
(XP Gained – 1,210,100,000]
[Points Gained – 60,505,000]
(Unlimited energy is provided to the host’s core]
Night Shadow read these messages again and again. He felt as if he became stupid. Wasn’t this a bit too overpowered? Although he knew the XP and the number of points he would get would be enormous, he never thought it would be this big.
His face had a smile. How could he not smile? The next message made him even happier.
[Does the host want the system to upgrade?]
System, what does upgrade do?’
(The upgrade increases the system’s power…For example, the host can only store 1 air, water, and land vehicle…After the upgrade, the host can store two air, water, and land vehicles… The host will also get other items advantageous to him…Does the host want the system to upgrade?]
(Author’s note: “store” in this means scanning the vehicles to transform into them – see in Chapter 2)
Night Shadow excitedly said, ‘Yes’
[The system is taking 1,210,000,000 XP from host]
(XP has been taken]
[Initiating upgrade)
(1%…2%…3%…]
Night Shadow was stunned for a moment, before becoming enraged. All that XP could have leveled him up to a huge level, yet the system took it all. The system didn’t even tell that it would take XP for the upgrade. Night Shadow started cursing the system but eventually stopped. He could only hope he gets something good from the upgrade.
After 10 minutes of waiting, the system came back to life again.
[Upgrade has finished]
[The Wheel of fortune had been added…storage slots have merged…]
(Host, please choose a race from the list –
1) Carbon-Human Race
2) Carbon-Monster Race
3) Carbon-Elemental Race
4) Carbon-Angel Race
…]
There were at least a hundred races to choose from.
Night Shadow asked, ‘System, what happens if I choose Carbon-Human Race?’
No response.
Night Shadow asked, ‘System, what happens if I choose Carbon-Monster Race?’
No response.
Night Shadow asked, ‘System, what happens if I choose Carbon-Elemental Race?’
No response.
Tch. Night Shadow knew that whatever he did, he couldn’t make the system talk. So, without giving it much thought, he chose the Carbon-Human Race.
[The host has chosen the Carbon-Human Race. Please confirm)
‘I am sure of my choice’
[The host has confirmed…making changes…)

——————————
Suddenly, Night Shadow felt an unfamiliar feeling in his body. It was a weird feeling but it went away really quickly. At that moment, the wind blew and Night Shadow felt the wind on his arms.
‘The wind feels nice and…Wait, how can I feel the wind? Hey system, what’s going on?!’
(Becuase the host choose the Carbon-Human Race, he has got one of the senses of human – touch]
Night Shadow became shocked. He never expected a robot like him could ever get one of the senses of a human.
‘Won’t that mean I would also feel pain?’
[No, the host will not feel pain]
Night Shadow let out a sigh. Thankfully, he won’t feel pain but…how can feel things but not feel pain? Although this question lingered in Night Shadow’s mind, he didn’t think about it much. His mind was on the points. His points did not reduce and he was thankful for that.
‘System, upgrade my deconstruction and absorption to level 50’
[Yes, host]
Instantly, his deconstruction and absorption skill became level 50 and his remaining points became 60,502,600. He did not do anything about the remaining points for now and left them. Right now, he had other things to do and he started walking towards the dead man.
He said, ‘System, absorb this dead human’
[Yes, host]
Night Shadow felt his arm transform and he pointed the big muzzle towards the man. A suction force came out of it and start absorbing the man. Whatever part of the man the muzzle went over, that part would turn into dust and be absorbed.
Within two minutes, the dead man’s body had disappeared and a message sounded.
(Human body absorbed…body absorbed is not suitable for host…making new body…new body made]
Night Shadow smiled and said, ‘System, transform me into a human’
Suddenly, Night Shadow felt his body starting to shrink, his metallic face started to become more human-like and hair started growing out of his head, and within seconds, he became a 6 foot from 19 feet. Night Shadow looked at himself and saw that his legs, arms, and neck are completely robotic while his face his human.
(Author’s note: If you want more detail about his body, just imagine Genos with black hair and purple eyes)
‘So, I am a cyborg, right? System?’
[Yes, host. The previous body was too weak and could not handle the weight of the host…therefore, the system made a new body for the host using the other body…but as the host levels up more, there will be a day where the host will have a genuine-looking human body]
Night Shadow became shocked when the system said he would one day have a human-like body. He knew that he would be very heavy. To compress it into a 6-foot tall body was amazing on its own. To have a human-like body was nothing less a miracle.
He looked down and saw he was not wearing anything and all his robotic body could be seen but he did not get embarrassed. He moved his arms and felt them move with his movements. Night Shadow was hit with nostalgia as he moved his body. He was about to ask the system about the wheel of fortune when he heard a noise in the forest.
Night Shadow instantly became alert, transformed both his arms into two Void Disintegrator Guns. He had made one more Void Disintegrator Gun while he was in Cybertron and attached it to his left arm.
“Who’s there?”, he said in a more human-like but cold voice.
After saying that, he pointed both the guns forward. At the same time, 5 men and 5 women came out of the forest with either swords or spears in their hands.
Before the people could say anything, Night Shadow asked, “What do you want?”
One of the men came forward and said, “We wanted to know what happened here. We thought it was a treasure but never expected someone like you. My name is Shan Weng from the Shan family. What is your name?”
Although he talked normally, there was a hint of arrogance with it. Night Shadow got furious. There are two things he hated – wuxia and arrogant people. Night Shadow wanted to kill the him but stopped after looking at the guy. He looked very rich and looked like he came from a very rich and influential family.
Night Shadow thought, ‘These guys are rich. Maybe, I can finish my job here faster using them”
Night Shadow coldly said, “I do not care about your name or your background. I want to ask a few questions and in return, you will just answer. Alright?”
Shan Weng heard and became angry. He was the direct descendant of the Shan Family, the most successful family in the whole of the world. There was nothing the Shan Family did not own, whether it be weapons or rare materials. Even the emperor had to speak to him respectfully. Shan Weng’s arrogance, naturally, came from this.
Shan Weng furiously said, “Kill him” Four armored men moved towards Night Shadow and Night Shadow shot two of them.
Wizz~
Wizz~
Did the two men have a chance? No. The moment the bullet touched them, they vanished. Night Shadow heard dinging noises but didn’t think about it. He then pointed the guns at the other two armored men and reloaded. The two men stopped moving. They started feeling danger from looking at the guns. The guns were exquisite, yes, but very deadly.
Shan Weng and the women had an expression of shock. They have never seen a weapon like that. A greedy thought came into their minds but a cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Are you ready to answer questions now?”, Night Shadow asked.
Shan Weng let go of the greedy thought, nodded briskly, and waited for Night Shadow to ask his question.
Night Shadow did not lower his weapons and asked, “What is this place?”
Shan Weng immediately answered, “This is the Fallen Divine World”
“Tell me more about the Fallen Divine World”
“The Fallen Divine World is a world where the strong rule and the weak are bullied. There are qi warriors and beasts who cultivate and become stronger by absorbing…”
Instantly, Night Shadow interrupted, “Enough. I don’t need to know more about the planet. Tell me, is there a stronger material than this in the Fallen Divine World?”
Night Shadow did not want to hear about the world because he knew what the world this is. From the storage, Night Shadow took out 1 brick of Rarified Energon. While taking the brick out, he also saw that his storage, which had multiple slots, had merged and become into a square with length, breadth, and height infinite kilometers long. Night Shadow wanted to experiment with the storage but decided to do it later. Night Shadow threw the brick towards Shan Weng. Shan Weng caught it and examined it carefully.
After a few minutes of examining, he passed it back to Night Shadow and said, “This is a strange material I have never seen but…there is a material that has more strength than this. Although, it is quite rare”
Shan Weng did not dare lie to Night Shadow after seeing Night Shadow’s power.
“Really? Lead the way then”
“But…”, Shan Weng hesitated.
But when he saw Night Shadow’s scary face, he stopped complaining and started leading the way. Night Shadow kept the Fallen Phoenix in his storage. When he would have time, he would start recharging it. When the men and women saw this, their eyes were wide open.
‘Does he have…a spatial storage?!!’
“Start moving forward”, said Night Shadow’s voice and interrupting their thoughts.
The men and the women came out of their thoughts and started moving forward.
Although Night Shadow did not show it, he was quite happy. There was less than 0.00001% he would find a material that was stronger than Rarified Energon on any planet and he found it on the first planet he landed on. But, he would still prefer the Rarified Energon because of its regenerative properties.
‘Maybe…it is because of my luck?’
Night Shadow told himself he would keep adding points of luck in the future.
After 40 minutes of walking, they all reached their destination. Night Shadow looked at the place in front of them.
It was a huge white color gate. It was the entrance to the city that was surrounded by walls. The walls were 200 meters tall and were grey in color. Although Night Shadow did not recognize the material, he knew it was quite a powerful one. Night Shadow couldn’t help became impressed.
“Lead the way. Try anything funny and you will die before you know”, Night Shadow coldly said as he transformed the guns back into his arms.
Shan Weng did not waste time and quickly started leading Night Shadow towards the entrance of the gates.
