My Life In A Fantasy, Women-Dominated World-Chapter 154: Nanotech and the Shrooms

"Oh my, not bad at all~ What a great gift for someone like me!"

Aaron whispered in an awed tone as he played with a small metallic ball in his palms.

He was currently reading its information through the system interface, and it left him quite pleased.

[ The First Choice Reward. ]

[ Nanotech Orb: Unique item, generated by the host’s memories. ]

[ Host possesses some knowledge and deep desire for nanotech merchandise. This item has been created only for the host, capable of changing its shape into any form of apparel that the host wishes to dress himself in.

The item does not have any offensive capabilities and would not absorb any damage or boost strength.

This is a cosmetic item, created only for the quality of life improvements and the ease of the host’s endeavours. ]

Aaron was a huge Steel Man fan and had also read many different comics and novelkisss that described the magic of nanotechnology, something that always excited him.

And apparently, the system had noticed that desire and generated him a gift!

However, surprisingly, the orb in his palm was an unranked item, something that was impossible as it was said that every item from the labyrinth or system was ranked.

But then again, Aaron didn’t even know that something known as Class Trials even existed, so he wasn’t sure if he should believe his ’research’.

Like an excited little kid getting his favourite toy for the first time, Aaron quickly looked around himself.

After finding no harmful fauna lurking around him, aiming to kill or sting him, he tossed off his previous dirt ridden clothes aside.

He spared nothing.

From head to toe, he stripped off every piece of clothing, tossing away even his underwear.

Except for his shoes, everything was gone.

And rubbing his grubby hands like a sleazy merchant, Aaron smirked and mentally sent a command through the metallic orb in his hands.

With a low whirr, the orb came to life in his arm, breaking apart into tiny pieces that further broke into tinier pieces.

The pieces continued to break apart endlessly, becoming smaller, thinner and bigger as the liquid-like metal began to trail across his nude body.

"Hehehe~ Wait~ Hahahah!" Aaron laughed uncontrollably, wincing and squirming every time the metal touched him in a sensitive, tickly spot.

It wasn’t particularly discomforting, but not really comforting either, as the metal still felt... well, metal.

He had actually hoped for something magical, like if he thought of wool, the metallic nanotechs would become woolen, and if he thought of silk they would become sil–

Before he could finish the thought, the nanosuit around his body pulsed again as the metal began to meld into itself.

The smaller pores were filled and colours blinked into existence, splashed across his figure randomly and yet strangely harmonically.

The pants bulked up and became heavier, the shirt parted into folds and the buttons and collars appeared, then followed by a limited edition expensive watch on his wrist.

Top tier famous glasses appeared on the bridge of his nose, then a huge golden chain, a pure leather belt, expensive sneakers that were only a few in existence on the whole Earth...

Aaron took the liberty of dressing himself ridiculously, putting every piece of expensive and limited edition clothing on his figure without caring about the aesthetics.

He looked ridiculous, sure, but if any man from Earth saw his current form, they would die with envy as he was dressed in the apparel that would cost more than a couple million dollars. No shit.

Of course, it was merely for his fun as wearing such expensive and heavy clothes in a rainforest was stupid.

And talking about the rain, something miraculous happened.

When he had crossed the bees area into the ’mushroom land’ as he called it, the rain clouds above his head disappeared!

There was no darkened clouds, threatening to come pouring down on the top of his head.

This discovery both baffled and also pleased him, as he had no intentions of getting wet at the moment.

Though, thinking about the rain, he grinned and passed a mental comment to the nanobots on his body.

They rushed to the top of his head, covering it into a funny looking hat before spreading apart and forming a huge umbrella hat.

"So fun!" Aaron laughed, changing the umbrella hat back into some comfortable cashmere pants and a cotton shirt.

Although the orb appeared to be quite small, in reality it was quite large. Capable of forming his clothes along with a side of accessories he desired to make.

But as the rules said, it was no offensive gear.

He had tested it, trying to make the arc reactor and steel man’s suit.

The designs were certainly there, but the functionality...?

Nope. It did nothing other than glowing dimly.

Thinking that he had wasted enough time and recovered enough stamina, Aaron cracked his neck and focused onto the mushroom fields in front of his eyes.

With the risk of bees behind him, there was only one way for him to explore.

He was yet to see any fauna of this region, but he made a mental note regardless.

’Don’t try to fight any creature unless you’re certain you’ll win.’

So forming a long staff out of nanobots and using it as a walking/ trekking stick, Aaron began to proceed through the forest...

***

He had been walking for nearly 5 minutes and his skill, dignity of the weak was already off cooldown.

There was yet to be any changes in the surroundings, and yet, Aaron couldn’t help but feel his instincts tremble each time he walked ahead into the forest.

No danger in sight, no change in behaviour or scenery... yet, he felt worried.

He couldn’t explain why.

There were only mushrooms around him, well, mushrooms and the huge trees.

What could be the issue?

The mushrooms?

He had tried poking a few, and each time, they exploded into a mist of colourful or grey gas, depending on the type of mushroom he popped.

’Ugh, what the fuck is wrong?’ he talked to himself, grumbling as he poked a mushroom in his path.

It was blue in colour, shaped like a dildo and having grassy veins coursing through it.

Just by the sight, it felt repulsive.

And like all the other mushrooms, it also exploded into a small bluish mist.

Of course, Aaron didn’t notice how his eyes became redder and increasingly bloodshot the more mushrooms he popped...
