My sponsor, another Jake patted my shoulder and said with a smile.
"The 'Foundation' is a newer cosmic force on the block as it were. Alignment-wise they are mostly on the line 'True Good' side of things. They have... Issues with most forces that align with evil and actively at war with the Company and their Waifu Catalog, but we keep to ourselves for the most part."
Then he shrugged and said bluntly. "That said, whether it be the Company, the Guild. Or any other cosmic group that loves to send people to other universes. We all at the end of the day don't want the greater omniverse destroyed."
He then pointed me towards the lovely looking secretary waiting for me in the next room. A 'secretary' I recongized all to easily as she was literally Helena META from Azur Lane.
"The Foundation is an organization that focuses on dealing with saving Nexus Points in reality. Heroines, or 'Princess Hearts' in most cases in which are the female version of how Logan was the nexus point of that one particular asshole Deadpool's universe you could say." My sponsor explained patiently.
"They are also the ones who put out the 'Bad End Cyoa' back in your home reality in hopes of recruiting agents who would help put together the people that were harmed... But, sadly. Most people who do those builds are only thinking about sticking their dicks in some poor woman who got mentally shattered and just want the easy sex."
I finally spoke up with a cough as I coudn't help but note my sponsor speaking with a bit more emotion than I expected in this case. "Did, you go through the Foundation as well? Or take in any of their 'Bad End Heroines?"
To which my sponsor nodded and said bluntly. "I was one of the test cases to see how us Jake's handle and interact with such damaged woman. Most Jake's are of fairly strictly good alignment. But we do have the outlier pyscho Jake's who ate the Chaos God's and their home universes in order to prevent them from ever suffering again."
I just stared at my sponsor dumbfounded before he chuckled knowningly and said. "Nah dude chill. I ascended past my own home Marvel reality after I married Galacta and she gave birth to an entire new universe seed which I absorbed."
I was silent for a moment before I said flatly. "Dude, that doesn't even make fucking sense?"
My sponsor just shrugged and then with a pat to my shoulder again he said.
"Whelp you will/may understand in due time. In either case for your reincarnation cheat you are getting a premium 'Bad End Heroines' Cyoa, but minus the waifus. They may even send one along with you, but you are here at the Foundation to get your feet underneath you under their own guidance."
I then asked quickly seeing my sponsor was about to leave, probably. "Wait, where am I even reincarnating/transmigrating to anyway?"
My sponsor paused at my question before he hummed thoughtfully and said. "Ah, well I suppose it would be good for you to know what you are getting into. And why are you getting all the bells and the whistles?"
He took a breath and then began to explain. "Alright, so you are going to a conglomerate world of fate. A nexus point in a local multiverse cluster that is on the higher end of danger, to put bluntly."
"The core world itself is built around Danmachi... But don't for a single second think that it's normal, Danmachi. In this world line, multiple universes fused and or violently clashed at times during the old era. And in that turbulent time the gods and powerful beings of those universes fought tooth and nail to form the true universe core."
"And what happened to all those divine monsters, gods, devils, and other horrors that were slaughtered and their remains left to pollute the world? All those dead divine remains over the course of years migrated during the battle to form a gestalt wound in reality. The Dungeon."
"And that dungeon? It's still a 'static dimensional zone but it's not the boring Danmachi dungeon. No, it's powerful enough to reach into other realities to grab monsters and beings of pure hate and destruction alignment to fill it's levels."
My sponsor then took a deep breath before saying with a heartless chuckle. "Of those worlds and realities that smashed together were several cultivation universes as well. Zeus and Ouranos throwing down with Nuwa and the Jade Emperor, it was quite entertaining. But in either case, cultivation is just part of the falna now essentially."
I absorbed all that and asked the most blunt fucking question I could. "So... Like is Aiz some kind of jade beauty sword maiden or some nonsense?"
My sponsor shrugged and said with a flat chuckle.
"Nah, dude. Just because cultivation elements were used to enhance the base form of the Falna to give humans a better chance to stand beside their gods to fight the monsters flooding out of the dungeon and the other gods themselves. That doesn't mean Freya will start shouting about people are courting death by offending her."
That made me pause as I said slowly. "Wait. Monsters are flooding out of the dungeon constantly???"
And my sponsor grinned and said. "Yup, the dungeon isn't sealed, dude. Any expedition into the dungeon is going to be a death run through endless waves of monsters, even further enhanced by the dungeon's direct energy."
He then added. "Anyway... You will be going in with some cheats and a perfectly enhanced body that can use any energy form you can understand and be taught. You will be able to join basically any Familia that will be willing to test you with their methods."
Then my sponsor cleared his throat and clapped his hands before he said with finality. "Alrighty then! Info dump time is over on my end! Now come on over, and we can talk with the beautiful lady who has been waiting for you. You got a fuck load of paperwork to go through."
I then walked over and took the seat across from the ship girl with her smiling softly before she said gently. "Hello Jake Bariss, My name is Helena. And I am here to make your transmigration as smooth as possible."
She then cleared her throat and then spoke quietly. "We will not be just handing you a cheat and then throwing you into your universe. The Foundation doesn't believe in sink or swim trials for power and ascencion. So to begin things, I would like you to look through this paperwork."
A thick binder was then handed over to me and I raised an eyebrow as I saw my 'file' as it were that listed much of my previous life story as well as goal, motivation levels, and so many other bits of data on just the first few pages.
Then I hit the 'CYOA' with her speaking. "You must fill out the Cyoa now. And from there we will allot a teacher to teach you what you wish to learn, and of course make sure you recieve the abilities you wish to learn."
I scrolled through... Admittedly very large Cyoa and some of the things were very much common sense especially seeing as I was going to a Danmachi world where the kid gloves were completely off.
In a world where Zeus can literally just smite my ass if I get mouthy, I wanted several conceptual protections like Immunity to Curses, Immunity to Mind Control, and many other things.
Because I had a solid feeling as I went through the Cyoa that my soul was going to be a fucking beacon to any god's who could see mine directly.
And after I scrolled through the Cyoa that would decide my future. I paused as I saw that at the back of it was missions that could take me out of the world of Danmachi as well?
But they were extremely dangerous missions but with powerful rewards. Like one mission was to kill a 'neglected/evil' Naruto who absorbed the Kyubi, and after destroying Konoha and killing everyone on his own homeworld. He went further insane when he ate Kaguya and then found alternate worlds where he wasn't some pyscho shitter who killed everyone.
Likewise a mission where Muzan from Demon Slayer ate a Jumper who popped into his world to smash Daki's mid pussy, but instead got eaten by Muzan himself who was cosplaying as a woman at the time and getting railed in the red light district.
Long story short, Muzan then got Jumper powers, and after popping into Marvel, he ate a true vampire, a Symbiote, and somehow... Somehow ate Apocalypse. Now that the Marvel Universe was locked down, as everyone on that Earth got turned into mutant, vampire, half-symbiotes, and demons that were all slaves to Muzan's will.
My face twitched helplessly as I looked at one final 'quest'. Which was to basically destroy a massive Ditto breeding facility, in which a group of powerful bloodmages was using to sell body-locked clones of powerful women who couldn't normally be 'broken' so easily.
A cough rang out from Helena who said. "Do not worry about those contracts Jake. Such things be discussed after you make something of yourself in your home universe."
I nodded in understanding and went back to my Cyoa, I looked through magic systems, I looked through power systems, even whole sale cultivation styles were being offered up.
But with my body renewed and made to be able to use any magic or power system so long as I was guided through it... I didn't focus too much on the external power systems and such.
Because Danmachi already had the Falna, apparently, this one's was even more potent and stronger, with how the gods weren't playing around at all. So I skipped over the systems, and cultivation stuff entirely.
Sure, I picked up some talents, so I could learn martial arts, magic, and other things. Because why the hell not just make my skill at actually learning even better?
But I hard focused on two particular 'powers' of a sort in particular. Aura from RWBY as not only would it at its base make me a bit stronger, give me a force field, and eventually a semblance.
The hope was that through the use of Aura, and getting a Falna, I hoped to get into better contact and control over my own soul.
And the other major power I was interested in... It was my very own Keyblade and other accessories.
Having my own keyblade and other Kingdom Hearts-based perks would set me up for basically my path of ascension for a universe-traveling immortal being!
Then I looked up and asked curiously. "So I am thinking of going the path of a Keyblade Wielder and for the Mark of Mastery perk... Who would be anointing me as a Master Keyblade Wielder?"
Helena gave a small hum before she checked her laptop and then she spoke frankly.
"The Foundation has several volunteer Keyblade Masters available currently and actively looking for a student. We have a keyblade master, Namime, a genderbent Sora, a genderbent Riku, a once dark heartless tainted Kairi."
She took a breath and continued even as my eyes widened at the wonderful 'options' available to me. "We have several dozen Aqua's. As it's not uncommon in some... Lewder settings for her to be mind broken by Heartless when she is lost to darkness."
She then listed all kinds of depraved nonsense like genderbent Terra, Ventus, Axel, and others... Even. A genderbent Mickey Mouse as well.
I coughed and said with a wry smile. "An Aqua, I guess... I am not so sure I would feel about trying to learn the 'proper' ways of a keyblade master from a Mickey Mouse who got turned into a squeaky toy for a pervert."
Helena's face twitched before she cleared her throat and said helplessly. "Quite."
With that I looked back down and finished the Cyoa with all the rest of the bits and bobs I wanted. Then I handed over the Cyoa to Helena who looked it over... Nodded quietly and said thougtfully.
"Just a heads up though Mr. Bariss. But while you will recieve keyblade and keyblade augment training from one Aqua, you will still need to take a Final Fantasy magic class as well to go along with it."
I nodded in understanding before I said thoughtfully. "That's perfectly fine. Danmachi's base magic is a bit... Lacking to be honest. So I have no problem with that."
Helena then clapped her hands together and said. "Good, then let us get going... There is much to do if you wish to be a keyblade wielder."
-
The Foundation was weird in this case... For an extra-demensional force of super 'do-gooders' who slaughter bad ender creators and is actively at war with most versions of hell. They had a very laid back like living culture.
As the 'realm' I was sent to, to learn how to be a Keyblade wielder in general before I got shipped off to my future world of Danmachi was a massive, and I do mean massive. As it was apparently bigger then most countries from my home world.
And this particular realm of theirs was just a massive expansive college like campus. With at it's core being different regions and massive zones to teach the people attending their how to survive in basically any possible enviroment.
But the weirdest part was the people. It was just... Fucking sureal to be sitting on a park bench. Just reading about incorporating Materia into your body to internalize the spell that made up the materia.
And out of nowhere you look up to see Hatsune Miku walking along the park path holding hands with Hikigaya Hachiman. Or seeing Esdeath happily walking holding her husbands arm with said husband literally being Kratos from God of War.
The casual fact that countless realities intersected here really scored how my reincarnation was going to be so weird. And after Helena dropped me off at my dorms. I was basically going to be staying here for at least a month.
To allow the cheats to settle in me properly along with giving me training.
'It still is funny though... Seeing so many people from different series just hanging out and being normal people between missions and just living here.' I thought.
As I looked up again from my book and saw a group of ladies training and sparring in a large sand pit. And seeing Tifa lightly sparring with Mai Shiranui was... A delight to watch, especially seeing as Tifa was wearing only a one piece swimsuit.
'Praise the lord!' I thought with a trancendant feeling at catching a glance of Yor Forger rubbing some lotion onto the bare back of a big titty version of Koneko.
I then went back to my reading. As I was well aware that many of the women here especially went through horrible shit and already had some form of enhanced senses anyway. So an apprecative glance was fine. But staring?
Yeah a good way to get into trouble.
But then the Foundation branded phone I was given bleeped and I raised an eyebrow at seeing a message directed at me. "Oh... Aqua is ready to meet me. Whelp, time to go see the woman who is going to make a key blade master hopefully."
