Chapter 8 : Future plan's

Victor woke up to sunlight streaming through the blinds, blinking as he stretched lazily in bed.

Another day, another chess game to play. He shuffled to the bathroom, catching his reflection in the mirror.

He had changed a lot since coming to this world. His body was lean, strong but not bulky, and his face was sharper now, with a look that could turn heads.

Still, it was his eyes that stood out.

They held a quiet intensity, filled with things no one else could ever understand—secrets, regrets, hopes, and fears.

But no matter how far he had come, Victor couldn't shake a constant feeling that lingered beneath it all—how small he really was in the grand scheme of things.

As he made coffee, his thoughts drifted. Eight years here, and sure, he'd built something—an empire, even.

Alex Donovan, his proxy, was handling the front-end business, and with his cheat, Victor had access to people's memories, giving him all the intel he needed to stay ahead.

But in the larger picture, what did that really mean? In a universe filled with gods, aliens, and powers beyond comprehension, was he really anything more than a speck of dust?

He took a sip of coffee, staring out the window at the city stretching out below.

The skyscrapers, the traffic, the people—it all looked so big, so busy. But to the universe? It was nothing.

And in that moment, Victor felt it—the weight of how tiny he was in this world, let alone this vast universe.

He could pull a few strings here and there, but what did that matter in a place where people could destroy cities with a flick of their hand?

Victor's focus shifted to his latest obsession: the Pym Particle.

He'd stolen the knowledge of the Pym Particle from Hank Pym's and his former students, using his cheat to extract critical fragments from their memories.

The particles allowed manipulation of size and mass, shrinking or enlarging objects to incredible scales.

At first, Victor had been drawn to it purely for survival.

He'd seen the chaos of Thanos' snap coming—an event that could wipe out half the universe's population.

But it wasn't just about surviving the snap.

It was also about preparing for what might follow. He knew that Earth's core housed Celestials, ancient beings whose return could spell even greater disaster.

Victor had another goal in mind as well.

The Pym Particles might provide a way to access the time tunnels he'd heard about.

If he could get his hands on a TVA device, he could travel through time and possibly find a way to influence or avoid the upcoming disasters.

The Avengers had already been involved in time travel during their battle with Thanos.

With the right technology, Victor could leverage their methods and knowledge.

Victor had developed new functions for his cheat: memory modification and illusion technology.

The combination of these would let him manipulate people's perceptions and alter their memories to gain access to crucial information, including the TVA's technology.

But today, he was working on something even more personal.

He'd created a mini-device, a crucial component of his long-term strategy. He called it the Technoon Chip.

This chip was designed to partially seal his memories, he can browse through those memory actively it was a safeguard and insurance for his mind and soul.

Victor knew from his research and observations that the longer one lived, the more likely they were to lose touch with their emotions and memories.

Many characters in this universe, even those with incredible longevity, ended up becoming detached or even losing their sense of self.

To counter this, he needed a solution that would preserve his identity and experiences over the centuries.

The Technoon Chip was engineered to activate once he turned 35.

It would start by preserving his memories from his previous life mainly and then his first 35 years of his this life and then his 7 year latest memory in the world and making rest of memory blurry.

The chip's primary target was to safeguard his soul's essence, keeping his core identity intact.

The secondary target was his physical body, ensuring it remained functional without deteriorating into a shell of its former self.

Victor's plan didn't stop there.

He intended to acquire magical abilities to ensure the Technoon Chip's effectiveness. Magic, he believed, would provide the necessary enhancement to the chip, ensuring it worked on a more profound level—his soul's preservation.

Victor sighed as he glanced at the prototype of the Technoon Chip on his workbench.

The device was a piece of complex technology, and while it was an impressive creation, it was also a reminder of the harsh realities he faced.

Many of those who lived for centuries had ended up in despair, disconnected from their humanity.

They were so focused on surviving that they forgot what made life worth living.

It wasn't just the physical burden of living so long; it was the emotional toll as well.

He recalled the story of Kang the Conqueror, a powerful being who had witnessed countless timelines and realities.

Despite his might, Kang had become disillusioned and detached, eventually ending his life in an attempt to escape the endless cycles of existence.

It was a sobering thought. Even someone with incredible power and foresight could end up feeling like a hollow shell of their former self.

Victor knew he didn't want to end up like that—an empty echo of the person he once was. The Technoon Chip was his way of fighting back against that fate.

By preserving his memories and sense of self, he hoped to keep his identity intact, no matter how many years or trials lay ahead.

As he continued working on the chip, Victor's thoughts turned to his other projects.

He was preparing to get the TVA controller for portal, and plant TVA agent as spy from who he snatch the controller using his cheat to manipulate memories and create illusions to access their technology.

The universe might be vast and overwhelming, but with the right tools and strategies, he could carve out a place for himself.

For now, he had to keep moving forward, balancing on the edge of a blade as he navigated the complexities of time, power, and survival.

Victor stood by the window, watching the city lights twinkle below.

He might be a tiny speck in the grand universe, but with his ability and a well-thought-out plan, he was determined to make his mark.

The universe was a daunting place, but he wasn't about to let that stop him.

He closed his laptop and turned off the lights. Tomorrow, he'd continue his work, dig deeper into his plans, and prepare for the uncertain future.

The universe might be vast and full of challenges, but Victor had his plan is ready to face it.

As long as he kept thinking ahead, he could stay one step ahead of the darkness.
