Reincarnated Into A Transformer In Cybertron With A System

Night Shadow was shocked.

He had read in novels about mechanics getting systems and becoming powerful but...

Never did he think that he would also get one.

Night Shadow got excited.

Cloak misunderstood Night Shadow's excitement for Night Shadow joining the Corps. and looked satisfied.

"Alright. Night Shadow, now that you have joined the Mechanical Corps., you should go to the dock tier - 72. You should start working right away because there are many orders from the army on wait and we need more bots. Good luck, Night Shadow", Cloak said that seriously.

"Alright"

Night Shadow understood why Cloak was serious. The thing is that the mechanics base only has a small number of transformers and just that small number of bots might reach hundreds of millions of bots.

The army would have a number that even Night Shadow might not be able to imagine.

Under the watchful "eyes" of the other bots, Night Shadow exited dock-tier 1.

Night Shadow was surprised by how much this place resembles an army base on earth.

He read that there would always be wars in Cybertron. But here, the bots acted like human beings.

But Night Shadow wanted to know more about how the system works.

'System are you there?', Night Shadow thought in his mind.

[Yes, host]

He thought this method wouldn't work but it worked!

Night Shadow asked one of the bots where dock tier - 72 was.

Under the shocked expression of the bot, Night Shadow got to know where he had to head towards.

Night Shadow thanked him and left.

'A newbie bot going to dock tier - 72? I wonder why?'

The bot thought about it for some time and left at it.

If he had been ȧssigned to dock tier - 72, there would obviously be a reason for it.

Oblivious to the bot's thoughts, Night Shadow started talking with the system while going towards

'What are the different rating of missions?'

Night Shadow nodded in confirmation. He thought it would be a similar system to the ones he read in novels in his previous life. Night Shadow continued asking.

'How can I gain experience? Are they only used for leveling up?'

[XP can be gained by doing anything related to mechanics or by killing living or non-living beings. Yes, they are only used for leveling up]

'How to gain points? What are their uses?'

[Points can only be gained by completing missions. They can be used to learn anything or increase the skills the host has gained]

'How many things can storage store?'

[Storage may store unlimited things and each storage slot may only hold 100 of the same things]

Night Shadow was surprised. He did not expect the storage to hold unlimited things but, he was grateful for that.

'Explain all the attributes'

[STR means strength. The Host-only has 50 STR because the host is damaged internally. DEX means dexterity. Dexterity relates to how well the host can do things, especially with his hands. Again, the host has less than normal because the host is internally damaged. INT means intelligence. Intelligence relates to the host's thinking capability and creativity. LUCK means luck. Luck relates to the host's luck]

After listening to the system, Night Shadow got an overall understanding of it.

But he did not understand two things.

'System, what do deconstruction and absorption mean?'

[Deconstruction is to deconstruct anything into pieces and absorption can be used by the host to absorb the deconstructed thing and make his body stronger. The stronger the material is, the time taken to deconstruct and absorb will also increase. The more upgraded the skills are, the faster the host can deconstruct and absorb. The host may also absorb anything such as wires, circuits, cores, etc to make his internal and external body stronger]

Night Shadow almost tripped and fell down after listening to the system's explanation.

'Doesn't that mean I can deconstruct anything and make my body insanely strong?!!!'

[The host is correct]

Night Shadow was shocked.

This skill would make him even stronger than Optimus Prime, wouldn't it?!!

Anyway, he started seeing the outline of the dock - tier 72.

He only had time for one more question, so he asked...

'System, what does transformation mean? And can I really transform into a human?'

[Transformation means that the host may transform into whatever he has selected to become. If the host goes to a car and scans it, it will be uploaded to the database and the host can transform into the car whenever and how many times he wants. Right now, the host may only be able to save 1 of each land, air, and water vehicle. The host can also replace any vehicle he has stored with another of the same type. The higher the host's level is, the vehicles the host can scan will also increase. The host may transform into a human but he will need to absorb a dead human first]

Night Shadow was really happy.

This skill was really useful.

By the time the system finished its explanation, Night Shadow had reached the entrance of the dock.

A metallic voice sounded, "State your name and business."

All the bots working stopped and looked at Night Shadow in surprise before laughing in disdain.

"Hahahaha! Another newbie has lost his way. I wonder how he will be kicked out this time? Hahaha!!!"

"Maybe like last time. When that newbie told his name, he was electrocuted, broken into pieces, and thrown into the Cyber-Junkyard. Hahahaha!! You should have looked at that guy's face! It was ridiculous."

Night Shadow knew about the Cyber-Junkyard from the memories he gained

It was a place where extremely damaged or broken bots were thrown into. When the Cyber-Junkyard would become full, 'they' would burn everything into nothing.

No bot except for the Thirteen Primes knew who 'they' referred to but many bots called them the 'caretakers'.

Many types of such murmurs were going around but Night Shadow didn't care.

He was told to come here so they wouldn't electrocute him for any random reason.

Night Shadow replied to the voice, "My name is Night Shadow. I was told to come here by Cloak."

Suddenly, the murmur stopped instantly, and all the bots looked at Night Shadow with widened eyes.

They knew who Cloak was, and they knew what his ranking in the army was. Cloak had higher authority than Elita One. He was very powerful and no bot would dare say his name aloud.

But here was a newbie who dared to tell his name

They thought he would be blasted to pieces, but what happened next turned their world upside down.

The voice, "Night Shadow please come in, and get ready. You will get all the information inside."

No bot dare even move. They had never, ever heard the voice speak so informally. They always heard the voice in a very cold tone. Night Shadow smiled. He wanted to see their reaction and now he finally got to see it.

Rumble~

The enormous door to the dock opened and Night Shadow went inside.

Rumble~

The door behind Night Shadow closed.

The area inside the dock was even bigger than dock tier - 1. It had multiple levels and was at least 20 km high and 10 km wide. Night Shadow was amazed but calmed himself down.

Right now, he was in a reception-like area where there was a robot standing.

The robot was 27 feet tall and completely blue in color.

"Name?"

"Night Shadow"

The bot looked up at Night Shadow and said, "Follow me"

Night Shadow followed the bot. The two of them kept going until they reached a deserted place. In the place, there was a small staircase leading to a black-colored, square-shaped thing. Underneath the thing was a transparent platform.

The bot pointed towards the thing and said, "Put your back on to that and don't resist."

Night Shadow followed the instructions and when he put his back onto the thing, a magnetic force pulled Night Shadow onto it. Night Shadow tried to move but couldn't. He saw the bot doing something but didn't pay attention to him. Night Shadow looked down and saw an endless abyss.

Suddenly, the platform opened, and Night Shadow fell down into the abyss. He saw up and saw the platform close. He kept falling and falling in the darkness for at least an hour when the object that was latched onto him finally came to a halt.

Night Shadow felt a platform beneath him. The object, that he was latched on, released him and silently went back up. Night Shadow didn't care about the thing and looked forward. What he saw surprised him. He saw an enormous base that was divided into 4 parts.

Suddenly, a voice said, "Welcome, Night Shadow. Please choose one of the four workshops."

Night Shadow, after hearing the voice, chose the workshop closest to him and went towards it. When he entered it, he was surprised by how big it was. It was 1.5km in length, width, and height.

Night Shadow was satisfied with the area of the workshop. He looked around and saw a screen and a place where he could build things. He went towards the screen and tried to switch it on.

It didn't work.

Night Shadow tried it once more and...

It still didn't work.

Suddenly a voice rang out, "Night Shadow, is there a problem?"

Night Shadow replied, "How to switch on the screen? And what is its use?"

"Transform your hand by imagining it as a USB form and insert it into the USB port. The screen has the knowledge on whatever you need except for confidential matter."

"Thank you"

The voice went out. Night Shadow closed his eyes and imagined his right hand like a USB. A few seconds later, he felt his hand's physical appearance start to change and the tip of his hand became a small USB. Night Shadow was amazed by the feeling he went through during the transformation. It was a weird yet familiar feeling. He looked for the port and found it a few minutes later.

He inserted it and suddenly a futuristic screen appeared in Night Shadow's eyes. He also felt a lot of data being sent to his core. After a few minutes later, he felt everything return to normal. He started looking at the screen closely and saw that there were two files. One was named "Mechanics" and the other named "Other". Night Shadow clicked on "Other" first and saw that there were 3 files - "Planets", "Cybertron", and "Robots".

He clicked "Planets" and saw a lot of information on the different planets that Cybertronian has defeated, conquered, explored, yet to be explored, and marked as dangerous. He selected all of them and selected the "Transfer" buŧŧon on the bottom-right of the page. Who knows, the knowledge might come in handy someday.

He, instantly, felt a large amount of processed data moving from his right hand to his core. Although it was not uncomfortable, it wasn't the best feeling to be felt.

Only after an hour, when all the data finished transferring, he felt much better.

But that did not stop him.

He clicked on "Cybertron" and selected all the information about Cybertron and the whole layout of Cybertron. He pressed "Transfer" and again felt that uncomfortable feeling on his core for another hour.

After the transferring of the information was over, he finally clicked "Robots", selected all the information, and pressed "Transfer". "Robot" was like biology but the study of robots. All the parts of a robot, each function of the parts was there in the information.

After another hour of torture, he saw that all the information was there in his vision. He could open it by mentally clicking on it.

After that, he looked at the "Mechanics" file with excitement. Of course, he would because he was a mechanic in his previous life and he was excited to learn more advanced things.

He clicked and what he saw made him more excited.

There were trillions and trillions of files on different branches of mechanics. There were electric mechanics, space mechanics, virtual mechanics, weapon mechanics, etc. He tried scrolling to the last information but he could not due to the vast amount of information.

His excitement calmed down and he became serious. He wanted to learn all of them but he was told by the system that he could learn the mechanical stuff by using points and he only had 100 of them.

He started thinking about whether he should upgrade his skills in deconstruction and absorption or use all of them in learning mechanics.

He kept thinking for a long time.

Then he got an idea.

Couldn't he just transfer it?

But wasn't that an easy loophole in the system?

Night Shadow thought about what to do and then asked, 'Hey system, why would you charge me points to learn when I can just transfer them?'

[If the host transfers the information, he wouldn't be able to understand the concept in it. But if the host learns it through the system, then, he will thoroughly understand it]

Night Shadow was confused.

'Could you explain it easier?'

[Imagine a third-grade student has a system like me. If twelfth-grade knowledge is transferred to a third-grade student and is told to write an exam for grade 12, the third-grade student will pass it with full marks but wouldn't be able to understand the concept. But if twelfth-grade knowledge is learned through the system, the third-grade student would pass it with full marks and, at the same time, understand the concept perfectly]

Night Shadow froze.

Wasn't learning through the system better than transferring then?

Night Shadow smiled.
