He watched with fascination as a pile of flesh burst from the ground, and formed a Hatchery, the iconic HQ building of the Zerg. His system drew his attention
[Since you were pulled here against your will, even though you would have approved, you may select a perk. This can be anything, the limit is your imagination]
Dan furrowed his brow, and asked "Can i obtain perks any other way, or is it just a one time thing?"
[You may gain lesser perks in the future, that will have a limited scope]
He knew that this decision would massively impact his future, so he began to think. The hundreds of games he had played in his lifetime rushed through his mind, analyzing and trying to find any flaw, any inconvenience that he could avoid with this perk. A thought struck him, and a feral grin spread across his face. He just remembered a specific mechanic in many RTS, especially Starcraft II, that was the reason he only played with mods. "I want my resource sources to be infinite, so that i dont have to go and find new ones"
[Wish of Infinite Source accepted....Processing... Perk used! Wish granted! Adapting....]
He felt a rumble anew, and looked towards the hatchery. Next to it, 8 beams of blue light descended from the sky, forming crystal deposits, while illusory flesh beasts came together to form 2 Vespene Geysers.
[Exclusive ability of the Zerg: Geyser Formation: Sacrifice 1000 Tier 2 Zerg to form a new geyser]
He revealed a puzzled look "What do you mean with Tier two Zerg?"
[A Zerg is considered Tier 2 if it is unlocked by a advanced building, or mutated from a Tier 1 Zerg]
"So a Baneling would be considered Tier 2?"
[Yes]
He nodded, already making plans for the future. A thought came to him, and he asked "System, is the ability to make mineral fields from another Starcraft faction?"
[Affirmative]
"And which one?" The system stayed quiet after the question, indicating that he would have to find out himself. 'Oh well', he thought to himself, 'I should get started i suppose'. He noticed that the Hatchery had produced its 3 Larva while he was engrossed in the system. He wanted to produce his first Drones, but he was stuck "How in the hell do i control this?" Before the system could even answer, he felt.... something. An instinctive connection between him and the structure, being perfectly able to communicate with it. He mentally queued up three Drones, and watched with fascination as the larva grew into eggs, beginning their transformation. A short while later, the cocoons burst open, and three Drones came out. But to his marvel, they didn't go straight to gather resources, but they...bowed?(If you could call trying very hard to break your neck bowing) in his general direction, before continuing with their work. As they gathered resources, he asked his system "How do i unlock more factions?"
[Research Unlock for Zerg: Occupy 20% of your starting planet]
[New Faction Unlock: Occupy 30% of your starting planet]
Dan clapped his hand together in his spectral form, surprisingly not intimidated by the idea to conquer a planet, and got to work
Egypt, Military HQ
Corporal Hicks, newly promoted, ran, as fast as his feet could carry him, to his superior. "Sergeant, my men have found something disturbing in the desert!" The man, clearly annoyed by the break of protocol by the man, asked "What?" "A....monster, I think, aliens,sir" The Sergeant wanted to laugh first, but seeing the completely serious and obviously freaked out Hicks, he gave the report his attention. "Lets see what you have found, and if it is true what you just said, i will have to kick this up the chain of command Sonic mode"
