9. The eyes of discernment

Zooom!

A sound tore the sky and resounded throughout the southern part of Terra piercing their ears. Raising their heads up in a startle the people of the capital, began yelling and screaming. The blue sky was scarred by the smoke and red flames.

"What the hell?"

Vader uttered with his jaw dropped as a burning meteorite appeared out of a crack that emerged amidst the blue sky, large enough that its shadow could contain a whole building within it.

"What in the world is that?" Said the buff man opposite him.

Tearing the air, the meteorite pierced through the atmosphere as it dashed towards the north, like a giant ball of flame.

"I don't know either..."

Vader replied but in fact, he did know information concerning the meteorite which intruded into the Bodium.

'Seems like those have once again begun to intrude Nanor.'

The monsters that dwell in Nanor were monsters of an otherworld. The cause of how these otherworldly beasts intruded is undiscovered.

Nonetheless, according to the chronicles written eons ago. These atrocious monsters have encroached Nanor beyond eons, from time to time provoking the poise and lively hood of the being that resides in it.

Akin to humans, these monsters resorted to taking shelter in Nanor and developed their lives and evolved. These occurred even before humans encroached on the lands of Nanor. Those monsters evolved into intelligent species similar to humans while humans evolved into superhumans known as Nanorians.

These occur every two centuries. The causes of these mundane intrusions are unknown. There were records that denoted these occurances as calamities.

Vader knew this fact upon reading the archives of Nanor that have been recorded since the age of intrusion.

The age of intrusion was the age when humans intruded and created a war in Nanor.

However, now is the Age of Development. It began when the last king, Fredor Kleo at on the throne and it still continues to this very day until the intrusion.

The age of development was the most anticipated age. It was an age where humans grew prosperous but with the intrusion, everything will soon crumble. The Nanorians, who were once humans will suffer along with the beings of Nanor.

The Nanorians will strive to survive. They aren't the same as how they were in the past. At this age, they're definitely a race that could go toe to toe against the other beings. If those have survived against calamity, Nanorians could do it as well.

Boom!

The sound of the explosion pierced the ears of the people inside the city. Though the meteorite fell far away from the city the vibration and the waves of impact were immense that it reached the south.

The mere wave of energy sent a chill up his spine. When he turned around and scanned his vicinity everyone had a look of terror.

'Whatever that thing is... It is not good news.'

He thought and looked at the buff man.

"Seems like that thing fell in the north. I believe They'll summon the scavengers in the city." The buff man said.

"Indeed..." Vader nodded.

"What brings you here? I am going to close the shop that thing seems like trouble." The buff man said.

"Mr.Popey, I am here in need of your help..."

"Okay? First, get in."

He called Vader into the shop and closed the metal shutter of the shop.

Inside the large shop were scrambled metals and scrapes. Most seemed useless at first glance. But those scrapes indeed possessed some valuables mixed amidst them however it is the eyes that discern the valuables could aid one to obtain what they truly want.

"Make it quick. I am not in the mood for doing business. I am doing this because it's you."

"I am here to buy materials from you and use your tools."

"Buy materials and use tools? You want these metal scrapes?"

"Yes..." Vader replied.

"What do I gain back?" Popey said scratching his chin looking at Vader with doubt.

"I'll pay you." Vader shrugged.

"Okay, I just have limited stock, and since this is urgent take the things you want. It's not like anything worth much. You can take any amount of scraps you want to but I'd like to get seven jade coins."

"Five" Vader replied.

Immediately Popey let out a sigh as though he knew that he can't negotiate with him and said.

"Hah... Ok five. But, if you need my tools you'll have to pay two coins extra."

"Fine... but, I'd like to use your shop."

"Okay, deal"

Immediately they shook hands.

Popey's house was connected with his shop so, he just exited through the backdoor hidden inside the shop and walked towards it.

"The tools are there to your left side." He said and left through the exit.

His eyes slightly glimmered in blue as soon as he activated Mechanical sagacity. He still hasn't fully pioneered the power he gained. However, his mind easily adapted to the ability as though it was natural considering that he was a mechanical engineer in his past.

'I'd like to get some usable equipment'

He mumbled. Abruptly his vision changed yellow and few objects were shown in red while some seemed green.

'Eyes of discernment so, one power branches to several abilities... Cool.'

He muttered and picked up the things that showed green among the other reds. It was a hint as though which was usable which isn't. Among them were a few objects that glowing in gold.

He momentarily dropped the objects in his and picked up the glowing.

[Reading information...]

'Open memory blueprints' He muttered.

[light battle suit (LBS)]

[Information: A humanoid robotic suit with intangible battle prowess. Light in weight and extremely agile. Can be used to reinforce a human's strength to the peak. Only external firearms can be added. Works as an armor enforced with heightened speed]

[Functions: Close combat, increased agility, reinforced durability in battles]

[Needs: A high amount of Titanium\ Or metal with similar properties]

Hectarite is a metal known for high durability in Nanor. It is not easily available but, they do use it to make engines of the motors. It isn't indestructible but, it is ten times durable than titanium that belongs to the earth.

Vader was fortunate to amass knowledge of the world without leaving things out. Mechanical sagacity draws out the knowledge of his previous world and compares it with his present world's knowledge and when compounds them both to engineer things. One can say it is a broken ability with multiple utilities as a single ability. He can discern. Create bring out a group of memories from the past lists. He can build miscellaneous machines to large-sized weapons.

But still, he wasn't a blacksmith nor a gunsmith, He was a mechanical engineer.

'Scan for more Hectarites'

As he commanded his vision once again shifted to yellow as he began to scan around. There were a few golden objects glowing around.

He slowly began to pick them up one by one and placed them on the counter.

"I can make two guns and a sword... Maybe I can make a suit with minimal functions with these."

He said and knocked on the back door of the shop to call popey.

"Yes?"

Popey said slightly opening the door while peeping out.

"I need a pair of gloves and an apron."

"In a minute" Popey replied and went back into his room.

Within a span of few seconds, he returned with a pair of gloves and an apron.

"I don't know what you are about to do but, I'd rather like it if you finish it faster."

Boom!

Another wave of energy exploded from the distance and shook the ground.

"How about lending me your tools? I'll return it later."

"Okay, whatever that's running around the border. It's no good news. The Intrusion has begun to run amok. Once again. It's rather better for you to stay than leave. Continue your work here."

Alright hoping to get some votes of power stones. This world is something I've come up with so it's more or less goes away from a normal scifi with magic-like system implemented with robots.
