REBORN IN THE CRYSIS NANO-SUIT

It's been a week since I've woken up in the middle of nowhere... I've completed the listed martial arts the suit had given me to do within the last two days. Not only that, I also increased my hippocampus to 103.67 times 'denser' than a normal human's own.

I was proud of myself, really. The improvement I've made in just 1 week is mind-boggling, even for me. But, I lacked something throughout my journey. That was experience...

I had none of it. I could easily replicate moves I've seen once with almost perfect mastery, however. Experience with them and how to combine them all in a fight is another story entirely. I needed it desperately...

But my issues didn't just end there. To even gain said experience, one needed an opponent to face off with to push them to their utmost limits. My current crisis was that I couldn't find anything at all. Even with my enhanced senses after that fight with the creature I named the 'reaper'.

I hadn't stumbled upon it yet, not once. When I really thought about it. I had gotten unlucky to come across one of them during the last couple of days...

I was running out of ideas and growing weary of this place. I hadn't seen intelligent life anywhere... and when I thought about it. It was absolutely terrifying... I could be alone on a planet that's over 40,000 km in size...

'I guess I should try...'

"Suit!... Well... I can't really call you suit all the time. It wouldn't sit well with me... I need to give you a name..."

[You can name me anything if you wish to host...]

'What name should I give him though?..'

"Let's see here... Architect? Nah... how about Prophet? Yeah, that seems to fit well. How about it?" I asked the suit.

[I shall now be called by Prophet... I suppose it's okay...]

"Oh, and... you can be a little more formal with me, Prophet... Since we both know you're sentient and have some sort of will, you can express your opinions as well, so... feel free to correct me if I make stupid mistakes..." I said, chuckling...

[I... see host... I will do so...]

I smiled at his response. At least my friend here has somewhat of freedom and identity...

'Now... back to what I was going to ask earlier...'

"Prophet. Is it possible that you have an in built radar?" I asked.

[Affirmative host. I have a multitude of them, such as viral sonar-radar, mapping radar, thermal radar, passive radars and more...]

"Good. Use the best one that is for tracking extensive areas of land. And give me a 3D layout in front of my Hud if possible." I asked.

[Yes host... using the mapping radar... Recalibrating biometric ocular capabilities...]

As soon as Prophet did this. I felt my eyes tingle. Then, a large blue map of the surrounding environment appeared before my eyes...

"Woah... Just how much distance did you cover, Prophet..." I asked, amazed.

[Approximately 234.54 Km host...]

"W-What!? How can you track such a large distance?" I asked.

'Wait... could it be...' I pondered.

[It is your own senses, host... I modified the map based on what you would hear, smell, and feel. However, visualized it for you instead...]

'I figured... I knew something felt off with my overall senses, they felt suppressed... But, I never thought it was to such a massive degree...'

"Still... You're saying I can already sense up to such a large area? With this much detail!?" I asked, a little surprised at my own capabilities...

[Yes, host. I estimate that it was why that creature found you when it did... Its senses were far more developed than anything that is recorded in my database... And, it is the exact reason, as to why I suppressed your senses, if you were to receive such a load of all that information at once, you may have ended up insane if otherwise...]

I flinched. So it wasn't luck... that makes me feel a little better. It shows I wasn't entirely unlucky.

"Ok... with this I shouldn't have much issues finding anything that's powerful."

I started running in a random direction. Knowing I must find something, eventually. I used my maximum speed to maximize the process...

_____________________________________________

~ 21 Minutes, later ~

21 minutes of straight running, and I finally see signs of life... it was them...

"Prophet, you see this!? I found them!" I said with excitement lacing my voice.

[Affirmative... stay where you are host. We both don't want you to alert them... They have rather powerful senses...]

Hearing this, I stopped. Understanding what Prophet wanted me to do...

"There's three of them... and they all seem larger than the one I fought a couple of days ago given the metrics..." I said. Staying still...

[It is the perfect opportunity host... it's time for you to learn how to hunt...]

Prophet stated.

"I have no qualms about this... but from this distance and the fact that you've stopped me so far from them tells me that we aren't going close range... so... what do you suggest?"

[If you command, host, I can create a weapon for you...]

"A weapon? From what materials?" I asked, curious.

[I am the material... I can create a weapon that's perfect for you... Do you wish to see it?]

"Really? A weapon made specifically for me? Do tell... you have piqued my interest..." I asked. Just a little happy.

[I will show you how it looks, host...]

I waited patiently. After some seconds... I saw what prophet wanted to give me...

"A bow?" I asked, surprised.

[Do you not like it host?...]

"No! I love it, actually! It looks powerful and deadly..." I said, staring at the design...

[It will take a minute to construct host... A decent portion of your strength will be lost in the process... however, it will be well worth it...]

Hearing this, I was a little hesitant, but. I trust Prophet; he hasn't done anything to hinder me so far, rather the opposite...

"Go ahead Prophet." I asked.

Immediately, I felt my strength being sapped from me. While a part of the suit morphed into a separate shape, seemingly creatin the weapon... It was large... extremely so... for a bow.

I saw arrows being molded from my skin, around 5 of them... Then the shape took a more solid form, becoming more sturdy and powerful...

When it was finished, I saw my new weapon in all of its glory...

[This bow was modeled after the military's 'predator bow'. However, it has gone through major tweaks to fit you perfectly host... it has a draw weight of 7000 pounds, with 40 inches of draw length, 250 kg heavy draw strings... and with its special arrows, it should theoretically produce a force of up to 80,000 tons when fired. Just be careful host... You are currently wielding a force of nature...]

I picked it up... feeling the bow itself... Wondering what kind of ungodly weapon prophet gave. No... bestowed onto me... If prophet called this thing a force of nature... Then it was.

'It's quite heavy... this thing must weigh at least 2 tons alone...'

The strings looked like condensed and flexible steel... filled with power waiting to be unleashed...

I saw the arrows on the ground next to me... I picked them up.

[You can place the arrows onto your back host. You have a magnetic holder for such things...]

I didn't know how exactly to use this thing... But, 80,000 tons of force seemed powerful.

"Run bow simulations now. I need to learn, and send the relevant information to my brain as well, Prophet." I asked.

[Affirmative host...]

A little after, the familiar tingly sensation swept through my body, and a copy of me held this monstrous bow with all its glory perfectly...

I copied the stance perfectly... Then charged/pull backed the string, for a full 5 seconds... showing how long it took, despite my immense strength...

[Are you ready for your first hunt, host?]

"Ha! You didn't need to even ask, Prophet."
