As I enter the portal I come out the other side to see a large high tech room that looked like some kind of space ship. In front of me there was a window cut off by a metal covering. I turn around to see a ramp start to lower down to another section of the ship. As it finished lowering I walk down to see several high tech work benches and sections of space ment for some kind of work.
I start to wonder why Nex hasn't spoken yet as I walk down another ramp to the back right of the room. When I reach the bottom there are two rooms to the right and one to the back. I walk to the right, because it's closer, and before I can start wondering where the handle is it opens. Opening, the room comes into view as it shows everything I had in my base in John Wick. Everything, the gun rack, my bed, my clothes...
"Man, this is depressing..." I say, looking at the high tech yet Spartan room.
"It is currently, but wait until you reach the home base!" Nex says, finally speaking as I continue to look around.
"I thought this was the 'home base'?" I say, sitting on a spot that seems ment for that. As I sat looking at my room I heard something shutter behind me. Turning back I looked out too see..."SPACE!?!?!?" I scream, stumbling back for a second.
"PFFT, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR FACE!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Mittlet laughs, sounding a lot closer than before. I turn back around to the room and see the girl in question, sitting on a couch I didn't even notice before.
I was utterly flabbergasted...ok, never thinking that again...still, I was very surprised. "How are you here?" I asked, more curious about how I didn't notice her rather than how she got here.
"Through the door? Like, are you stupid or something!?" Mittlet asked mockingly. I slumped at that.
"OK, why are you here then?" I asked in irritation.
"I'm here to help with the whole process of getting settled in." She said as she pulled a smartphone out of her inventory and tossed it to me. "That's an omniversal phone that only Gamers can use. My numbers already in there!" She explains, winking at the end.
"Gee, thanks, I really appreciate that..." I drawled, looking through it before tossing it into my own inventory.
"As you should!" She said, puffing out her nonexistent chest. "Anyways, look out the window and see your real home base." Mittlet prompted, and I did so.
"Wha-" I mutter, looking out at the massive yet elegant fortress colored in a perfect mix of whites and slivers. "Is this from something that I don't know about?" I question, making Mittlet hum in agreement.
"It's name is The Dojo, and yes it's from a game called Warframe. So is this ship." She explained.
"Can I play it?" I asked in a dumb tone.
"Of course you can, all games are already loaded onto your home bases system. All you have to do is get the game room and you're good to go!" She said, giving me a dazzling smile that gave me shivers.
"God's, don't smile at me like that.." I mutter, sitting down next to her. "Anyways, what's the shp for then?" I ask, still looking out the window.
"It's your in-between stop for when you want to do things that The Dojo does without having to actually go there." Mittlet says, passing over my first sentence.
"Cool, so what happens now?" I ask, finally looking at her.
"Well, you should cool off for a while before going onto your next world." She offers, as the ship lands and she gets up. "Come on, I wanna see what you choose to buy first." She says, standing up and pulling me along by my arm.
[Time skip]
It's been a few days and Mittlet still hasn't left. I don't mind, but it's kinda weird how clingy she is while still being rude. Anyways, currently I'm trying to make weapons and golems with my Arcane Mage class and receiving minimal results.
.....
A shitty magic pistol (Poor)

- Does give off a glow when you put energy into it though.

I mean, it's not that high, but I shouldn't be getting nothing but poor quality items from it. I sigh and open my inventory, pulling all the gotcha keys out, and start throwing.

These are the only ones out of the last hundred or so that are any use to me currently, and to say that I'm angry would be an understatement-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! GOD'S FUCKING DAMN IT!!!"
Now, you may be wondering why I'm so pissed. Well, that's rather simple.
[Flashback - Upon receiving the Magic Tool Set]
*Thunk!*
"Huh? Oh, seems useful!" I said as I reached down to pick up the tool set, as I touched the box a flood of information came into my mind. Explanations for how to use the tools, how what I've been doing until now was all technically right but still wrong. And how one needs special tools to make anything beyond that.
Most importantly, someone that's trying to make things without using the tools first could never hope to do so at any good quality.
[Flashback end]
(Mittlet pov)
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!- AAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!-"
*Thump!*
"There, he's finally out" I said, dissipating the last of the lightning off my hands after using a lighting bolt to knock Issac out. "I mean, honestly, what got him so worked up?" I say, thinking back to how he's been screaming and throwing things around this place for the last twenty minutes. "What's that?"
I walk over to the last thing Issac was holding and look at it. "A tool box?"

"Am I awesome, or am I awesome?" I ask rhetorically.
"It's kinda sad honestly..." Mittlet adds, as she lays on a couch eating from a bag of chips. Ignoring her, I move on to the last relevant key I had in my inventory.
.....
World Choice Key
- 1st World: High School DxD
- 2nd World: Skyrim
- 3rd World: Fallout New Vegas
.....
"What...too...choose..." I say, not knowing any of these worlds.
"Which ones did you get?" Mittlet asked, climbing onto my back too look over my shoulder and seeing the selection.
"Don't know, I was thinking about Skyrim since it sounds all magical and shit, you?" I ask, not bothered by how familiar she was being.
"Oooo! Oooo! Choose High School DxD! That's my first universe!" Mittlet said, sounding excited.
"But what about the other two?" I ask, eyeing the other two.
"I mean, there alright, but mines better!" She said, pulling back and puffing her nonexistent chest out again. As she did so I got an idea. A yelp escaped her mouth as I took a quick step forward, forcing her to grab onto me.
"HAHA!- ACK!-"
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!!!" She screams, as she started choking me. As she did the key flew out of my hands and a portal opend.
*WHOOSH!*
"HEY! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!-" Was the last thing I heard as I was pulled through the portal.
*pop!*
*Thump*
"..."
"..."
"...AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!-"
