Strangely enough, even though his body had completely melted, Harmon could still vividly feel the presence of the outside world.

As Harmon watched Undine carefully adjusting the program while looking at him, he also felt the medical machine surrounding him.

This feeling of feeling was truly strange.

‘Is this the world that machines perceive?’

That’s what I thought.

The feel of metal touching the body.

An electrical signal flowing through a circuit.

A strange feeling of not being able to move your body by your own will, and your body being formed anew based on stimulation sent by medical devices.

There is no sense of time.

And no sense of reality.

But clearly, I only feel that I exist.

How long did that time go on?

​

“… … !”

Harmon woke up.

* * *

“Ugh!”

Harmon quickly got up and placed his hand on the shelf next to him.

Woozijijik!

My body collapsed again as the shelf I was resting my hands on shattered like a dry clod of dirt.

Undine, who hurriedly approached Harmon’s body, accepted it.

“Master, please calm down.”

“Ugh… Ugh… .”

Harmon was confused by the sudden awakening and the feeling of being suddenly awakened from a long sleep.

Harmon, who was rolling his eyes and looking around, saw Undine hugging him and then reached out and hugged her back.

Her soft skin. Her voluptuous breasts that gently pressed against his skin. The sweet scent of her body flowing through his nose. Harmon’s emotions, which had been confused by the familiar sensations of a woman, were quickly calming down.

“Undine.”

“Yes, Master. It’s me. I’m always by your side.”

“Haa. Okay. Phew. … … .”

After his mind was at peace, Harmon quickly assessed the situation.

Where are you now?

‘My home. The place inside the Harmon garage. My castle.’

I am?

‘Harmon. 30 years old. Body reconstructed with metal cells added through cocoon surgery.’

What do you have?

‘My knowledge. My skills. My garage. Undine. Luck. Candy. Isaiah.’

Hamon placed his hand on Undine’s head, caressing her hair, and then suddenly looked at his own skin.

After hearing about the cocoon procedure, Harmon asked if it was possible to change the skin at that time into artificial skin for humanoids, and Undine said she would try.

And now, Harmon’s skin was not the damaged and dirty skin from many years of rough living, but was as white as a newborn baby.

“… It worked.”

Harmon, who had tried making a tight fist, smiled with satisfaction as he saw his right hand clenching into a fist smoothly without the help of mechanical joints.

“See? Don’t think about failure until you try. This is how you succeed.”

As he said this to Undine, Hamon got up from his seat and looked at his body before seeing Lucky.

Lucky was lying quietly in the corner of the room, looking very tired, perhaps from carrying out the order to run wild like a robot.

“Come and run.”

At Harmon’s words, Haengun tilted his head in confusion, then got up and ran towards Harmon on all fours.

‘It’s visible.’

Lucky ran at a speed that Harmon couldn’t even see before, and Harmon saw it clearly.

Likewise, if it were the old Harmon, it would be lucky to hit the body with such force that it would split in two and kill him.

“Ugh!”

When we hit each other like that, it felt like a shock, but it didn’t hurt.

“Oh. It doesn’t hurt!”

“My head hurts!”

Rather, it was the lucky one who got hit that was hurt.

“Artificial skin and metal cells were synthesized.”

Undine, who was looking at Harmon, who was curiously examining her body here and there, began to report on the results of the surgery.

“I never thought those two would come together.”

“Artificial skin combined with metal cells?”

“Yes. The artificial skin is not a living part. It is just a part of the parts to be wrapped around the humanoid. That is why I melted it with the cocoon procedure and later applied it to the master’s surface.”

“Hmm.”

“But the metal cells were attracted to the artificial skin. They merged together and became the owner’s skin.”

Undine sent the document data while saying that. Harmon reached out to the goggles scattered among the remains of the shattered drawer to see it.

Tried to stretch.

Clang!

The moment Harmon thought about bringing the goggles, the connecting wire that was one of the parts of Chance slipped out of Harmon’s hand and wrapped around the goggles, bringing them into Harmon’s grasp.

“Huh?”

Harmon looked at Undine with a blank expression, and Undine explained to Harmon.

“Chance has completely merged with the master. Perhaps, you will be able to use all of Chance’s functions in the same way as you would with the master’s body. Also… .”

Undine opens her mouth after thinking for a moment.

“Perhaps, the function part of Chance will also grow by receiving the power of metal cells. This is only a possibility, and the details are attached to the document.”

“Okay. Let me take a look.”

Harmon, wearing goggles, opened the document data sent by Undine.

How did the surgery proceed? How long did it take? Was there any disturbance outside during the surgery? The effects of the chance that could not be dismantled on the body, or the result of the synthesis of metal cells and artificial skin.

There were colorful graphs and things like the results of experiments Undine had conducted to the best of her ability, and Harmon read them all and nodded.

“But what level am I at now?”

“Master’s metal cells are in a fetal state that has just taken root. Synthesized with artificial skin, the body’s durability has increased dramatically, and luck is higher than ever.”

Undine looking at Lucky.

“Probably lacking in other overall areas. Strength, reaction speed, environmental adaptability, immunity to disease, regeneration, and recovery.”

As Undine stroked Lucky’s head, Lucky quietly accepted her touch with a tired face.

“The metal cells will grow over time. They will grow in response to external stimuli. How your metal cells will change in the future is entirely up to you.”

“I see.”

“Next is a report from Lucky and the Strike Force.”

Strike force.

It was a combat unit hastily assembled by Harmon with 10 robots.

The achievements of Lucky and the 10th Robot Unit. The damage that the Guldari Guild received as a result. It is currently recovering and what is the progress?

“Maintenance is the problem.”

“Yes. Oil greatly reduces combat time.”

“First, let’s make something like a drone to supply oil and replenish it in real time… We need to make more efficient energy.”

“We recommend installing a small power plant inside the robot.”

Undine showed off her own brand of small generator.

“These generators, which produce electricity with high efficiency according to the robot’s own kinetic energy, extend the robot’s operating time semi-permanently as long as it does not engage in high-energy-consuming activities.”

“Oh. Really? Sounds good.”

“This time, it seems that the necessary materials can be obtained from the humanoid manufacturing factory discovered by the dummy.”

“That’s good too. Good job.”

After praising Undine, Harmon got up and examined his own body.

“Whew. Whoosh!”

Lungs that suck in cool air.

Joints that move well as if oiled.

Overflowing strength and vitality.

I just felt like doing some kind of physical activity.

“Is this youth?”

“I’m not getting any younger, Master.”

Harmon blushed and grumbled at Undine’s cold criticism.

“I know. I know. I was just saying.”

“It is true that lifespan has increased, so it may be correct to say that we have become younger.”

“Let’s not supplement for nothing and get started with what we have to do first. Report.”

Undine immediately created a hologram of the entire Guldari Village and unfolded it.

“The first attack of the strike force. The outer and inner barriers were destroyed, and there were three casualties in the Guldari Guild. One was seriously injured, but later died.”

As Harmon had planned, the robots ran wild, mainly damaging the barriers.

Because of the problematic startup time, the robots only had about two hours to really fly.

Considering that it was oil-powered and that the robot was capable of performing, this was a remarkably long time, but it was also quite behind the technological prowess and energy efficiency of wild robots.

However, even at that level, it was more than enough to cause significant damage to Guldari Village.

“At the same time, we are using robots to lure the surrounding wild machines to the Guldari Village and strike them periodically. The reconstruction of the wall is at a standstill.”

“What about Isaiah?”

“As planned, inside with Candy, President Harmon is guiding opinions on whether or not to help with the wall reconstruction plan.”

“Good. The results aren’t out yet, right?”

“Yes.”

Harmon nodded, saying he understood, and took out one of the robots he had prepared in advance.

The robot was surprisingly similar to Harmon at first glance.

We trained the AI to have language patterns similar to Harmon’s, and we set it up so that it could reproduce even Harmon’s little habits.

“My dummy is also well prepared.”

This was also a second body, just in case.

An item prepared in case a metal cell transplant procedure fails, in order to have a robot body in a hurry.

Well, since it was successful, there was no need to worry about that.

Instead, this pile will be used for other things.

As a stand-in for Harmon when he leaves Guldari Village.

“Okay. Then everything is ready… … .”

After the report is finished and future plans are made.

Harmon laid Undine on the floor.

“Where, shall I try out my new body?”

As he said that, Harmon smiled and took off the pants that Undine had made him wear, then sat on top of her body and inserted his penis into the gap between her breasts.

Could it be the excitement of having a new, healthy body? Harmon’s cock had been insanely erect for a while now, and the tip of it was sticking out of Undine’s large chest.

Undine smiled and cupped her breasts with both hands, cupping Hamon’s penis pleasantly before placing her lips on his protruding glans.
