Jack POV
I am traveling this world... and I want a pudding... and some other stuff... and level up... and... maybe... some catgirls... yeah... Oh... I can wish... nope, won't do it... will do later... maybe... anyway... I am a wanderer...*Sniff* I miss those stations from fallout...
Jack: “Oh... and I'm the type of guy that will never settle down... oh shit... it's fucking WRONG!!! It's not working in this world at all!” Those pricks with that Fallout! I don't want to date some ghouls!
Thanks Boxy, but I'll pass. It's a stupid Earth, not some fantasy world!
Don't care.
What?
Why? Because I don't care about some shitty world?
… Oh... OK... sorry...
Anyway seeing that I am stuck in some sort of apocalypse scenario I would like to screw it all and steal some wheels. And no! I don't want to use my own transport. Oh and I should probably... Yeah... I'll store everything in my dimension, except nano armor, and will create some sort of apocalyptic gear... Yeah will do. Aya, right? Show me some schematics for military type heavy armor, medieval plate armor, hazmat suits or whatever they are called, and ballistic mask.
Yeah... I got creation skill, so I will try it out. Besides I want to look normal, or as close to normal, by this world standarts.
Hey! What did... oh... actually not bad... Say... what material would be better to use?
Really? OK. Will I be able to use enchanting on this stuff?
Yes, got it... now let's try to create this outfit... oh and what about mask?
Cool... so... let's start crafting!

*Quite a while later*
…
Jack: “IT'S DONE!!!” I laugh while equipping the armor. Oh and I made it soul bound just in case. So my armor is similar to that of a SWAT armor, just with a bit more coverage for the armor plates, more durable undergearment, boots with spikes in front and back, duster, also reinforced with armor plates and hidden by leather, helmet and ballistic mask, which are easily concealed by my hood, and of course reinforced gloves with claws. I mean it's cool, right? Oh and everything is modified with durability, fitting and self-repair+cleaning enchants. Oh and everything is green and brown in color, with ability to change the colors as I see fit. Though I accidentally put too much enchants and... well... my first patch crumbled to dust. Hey at least I learned!
Anyway now that my armor is complete it's time for the weapons... and I decided to go with the bow and a revolver... well... screw the revolver! I want a compact assault rifle with ability to change ammo types! Then... I need to create some mags for it... Oh and a sword... and dagger... and a spear... no, just machete... So... I will create bow, rifle... no smg... yep... will do... so I will create bow, SMG, machete... yeah... hey Aya! Give me schematics for the reflex-recurve bow made of metal, smg with easily modified bore and a few mags for it, machete and a knife... all of the same material that my armor plates are made, OK?

*few hours later*
…
It's done. Oh and enchanting for the bow was [True Aim], easier to hit the target, for SMG it was [Recoil Compnsation] and for machete and dagger it was [Sharp]. Oh and durability with self-repair and cleaning was also used on all my weapons. Currently caliber for my SMG is .45 cal. 9 mm is also good, but... it's slightly weaker... I just remembered... I need harness, holster, quiver, sheath, pouches and maybe a backpack... *Sigh* as usual... so I will create them...
…
Finally... after I equipped it it all... I felt quite... usual... I mean my DOOM armor and Power armor is like... I dunno... cool? This is also cool, but not as much as those two... hell even nanosuit is stronger! Anyway walking around in power armor is... too much...
Jack: “Let's get going.” So... I decided to follow the road... oh yes... I am currently on a highway... and there is not much vehicles, but those that are here are quite... battered.
I got ridiculous idea! Rollers for my boots!
Nah, I will go with skate... I mean it's cool and all, but... if I want stomp someone to death, then my wheels would stuck. Besides it's more fun running... Wait... why go with some stupid skate, when you can create a hoverboard! Aya! I need-
HOVERBOARD!!! IT'S COOL!!! I mean it's cool to fly around, no?
Hey! I am kid inside my soul! Pampered one by the way.

Two days later
…
So... let me tell you this... creating hoverboard or HB was quite... hard. It took me two days just to understand how this shit works! At least I can create more whenever I need.
Anyway I am now traveling along the highway... heh... 'lost highway'... so I am traveling along the road and... there is nothing much to do. Yeah there are zombies... occasionally... but... arrow to the knee... um... head... is enough to incapacitate them... but to completely kill them, you need to butcher them. Hey at least I leveled up... and leveled up a harvesting skill...
So I am travelling... and don't know what to do... huh? Another zombie?
Human? Here? Oh... fine... I think it noticed me... I mean I dunno who it is, so of course it's an it. Oh... it's pointing a gun at me.
Human: “YOU! STAY WHERE YOU ARE!” seriously?
Jack: “FUCK NO!” and I dove to the nearest vehicle. I mean I won't stand while someone is waving a gun in my face. So I took my SMG and got ready to the fight. And... it doesn't fire... why? I mean what does it want? “Hey what do you want?”
Human: “... Are you... human?”
Jack: “Nope some alien!” partly true.
Human: “... Right... so Alien... um... I am... eh... Artemis?”
Jack: “Oh cool... some stallion... I will call you horsey.” nope I won't leave my cover. Yeah, my armor can probably take a hit from 12.7 mm gun, but I don't want to get hit...
Human: “Wait, NO! I am Artemis! The goddess of the hunt!”
Jack: “Eh? Seriously? Lame name. Funny character though.”
Artemis: “No, I mean... *sigh*... what I meant is if you will call yourself Alien, I will call myself Artemis.”
Jack: “OK! I am John Smith.”
Artemis: “Like... really? John Smith?”
Jack: “It's Agent Smith for you.”
Artemis: “... wait, wait, wait... agent? Like in a movie?”
Jack: “No like secret service.”
Artemis: “So... do you know what caused the plaque?”
Jack: “How would I know? I look like a scientist to you?”
Artemis: “... No... wait... I...”
Jack: “Relax... I don't know much more than you... probably... except that Artemis was a demigod, not a full fledged god.”
Artemis: “... So... are you really an agent?”
Jack: “No... yes... it's complicated... and the world changed too much to my liking... Oh right... what year is it?”
Artemis: “... what do you mean? Oh it's... 2041.”
Jack: “... Right... funny...”
Artemis: “No I mean really. It's 2041. um... it's October... the 22?”
Jack: “Whatever. I asked those morons to wake me up when it is 2030. By that time Half-life 3 should have been published.”
Artemis: “... Wait... are you-”
Jack: “Oh right... call me John. I was in a cryo facility as a volunteer for the experiment... so I slept for... 31 year? Really funny...”
Artemis: “... Uh... John?”
Jack: “Yeah?”
Artemis: “Where did you get that armor?”
Jack: “Oh... it was in the lab. Don't ask about the lab though... I accidentally destroyed it...”
Artemis: “... Right...”
Jack: “No really... it's just for the leaving it I set some sort of self-destruct sequence and... well... I lost my rifle there... fucking zombies...”
Artemis: “So... it's true then?”
Jack: “Yeah... Oh do you know how far and where is the nearest city? I'm looking to get some supplies.”
Artemis: “... Yes... It's to the north... about... 35 km... Willowcreek.”
Jack: “Okay, thanks... bye!”
Artemis: “Wait!” oh... what now? “Can I go with you?”
Jack: “No offense, but I don't know you, you neither, so it's better if we part ways here.”
Artemis: “No... I mean... uh... it's better to stick together?”
Jack: “Funny... Well... okay... I don't really care anyway. Just be warned. I'm ex military, and I had quite a bad habit of torturing my enemies, and general disregard of human life. Oh and I'm a jerk. Still want to come?”
Artemis: “... It's more chances to survive together, than alone, right?”
Jack: “Eh... your call... oh and by the way... use silencer. Or better yet, crossbow or bow. Firearms are for the emergencies.”
Artemis: “Yes!”
Jack: “Oh and when we get to the clothing shop, we get you something better to wear... Dresses are quite stupid in the apocalypse, no?”
