As I was planning to sneak into the palace of the kingdom, I suddenly got an idea.
Why sneak in when stealth is optional? Let's go in guns blazing! But first, I need to make some armor. Well, it's more like a costume for my grand entrance… though it still provides some protection.
(Image armor)
For my weapon, I would choose the Karabiner 98k, because—why not? It's better than the Springfield 1903 in multiple areas. The sights on the K98k are easier to use compared to the Springfield 1903, which has more precise sights. However, that precision can be a drawback in my situation, where I need a compact, lightweight design for close-quarters operations.
The Karabiner 98k is lighter, slightly more compact, and offers excellent reliability under harsh conditions. Its 7.92×57mm round is both powerful and versatile. Additionally, the K98k is easier to maneuver, more robust, and simpler to maintain.

Bias aside, it's just my preference for what gun to use. It might also be because my favorite anime and game faction is Germany.
Anyway, back to planning.
"Hmm, what if I made a herbicide bomb or nuke just to cause more chaos? Hahahaha, that's a wonderful idea," Kei (Black) said, thinking out loud.
"Hmm, is staying here in this universe making me psychotic? Or has it always been there, just never surfaced because my world was peaceful? Hmm, well, who cares?" Kei (Black) said as he thought of more ideas.
"Hmm? Can I use my gem as an OPERATION ORB? Too risky… but let's try anyway. All scientists take risks for the betterment of our society," Kei (Black) muttered, pouring mana into his gem. It started to glow—but then something happened.
CRACK!
"Ahhhh!!!" Hiraoka Kei (Black) screamed as he stopped the mana flow to the gem.
"Ah, that fucking hurts!" he groaned, looking at his status screen.
[System]
[STATUS]: CRACKED GEM
[Name]: Hiraoka Kei (Black Diamond)
[RACE]: GEM (Diamond)
[CLASS]: N/A (CHOOSE CLASS)
[LEVEL]: 5 {9%}
STATUS EFFECT - CRACKED GEM: Weakens all physical stats (STR, AGI, and VIT) by 30%.
'Damn, I'm such a dumbass. Anyway, I can heal it… but that hurts like hell.'
Using Earth Bending, he tried to heal the crack in the gem.
[STATUS]: HEALING… SMALL CRACKS… NORMAL
[SKILL ACQUIRED: OPERATION GEM LV.1]
[(NEW) OPERATION GEM LV.1] (PASSIVE)
A skill created by a self-proclaimed scientist who tried to make a skill that would help him become the most powerful mage in the universe—which he already is—but he wanted more power. He took a gamble using his own life and almost died, but by some miracle, he survived.
Effect: Lowers mana consumption by 5% per skill level; increases spell power by 3% per level.
"Hey, hey, no, you're overexaggerating it! I didn't almost die—I was just injured, okay!"
[-_-]
[NEW TITLE UNLOCKED: MAD SCIENTIST]
A scientist with high intelligence, but it drops whenever he performs an experiment.
Effect: Damage reduction while performing experiments by 20%.
Kai looked at the system screen.
"Sigh… okay, a title is a title, even if the description is insulting."
Back to planning.
'So, how about making droids? It'll take days to make a few—maybe five BX-series droid commandos.'
With my current materials, I can make seven, but five is enough. They're still a primitive species—still using cold weapons.
(A/N: Cold weapons are weapons that don't use propellants or explosives, relying instead on physical contact with the target for effectiveness, such as bows, swords, and spears.)
As days passed, the princess's marriage drew closer—until the day finally arrived.
In the Palace of the Black Rose
POV: Rosa Black Rose
So this is the day I lose my freedom to choose. My father once promised my dying mother that I would be free to choose my husband. But ever since the war began, he had no choice but to force me into a political marriage. Sometimes, I see the guilt in his eyes—he's grown distant. I can tell he feels it's his fault the war started.
I feel so alone in this palace. I feel abandoned by my father. I want to be free—even if someone kidnapped me, it would be better than this. I've heard rumors that the Prince of Poison Ivy is a disgusting man—that he rapes and tortures women for his sick entertainment. I'm not sure if it's true, but rumors start somewhere… it's likely true.
As I walked toward my bedroom with my guards following, I saw two silhouettes near the window.
Then—SHATTER!
The glass broke, and I saw five thin golems—and a man in armor I had never seen before!
Shit! Am I being kidnapped?! What the hell, that was a joke! I didn't mean it!
The armored man grabbed me and carried me like I was a sack of potatoes.
"Put me down, you kidnapper! My father will hunt you down!" I screamed, struggling to break free, but his grip was too strong.
The kidnapper laughed. "Hahaha, he can try—but the question is, can he catch me?" Then he jumped out the window.
"Aahhhhhh! We're going to die!!!"
As we fell, we suddenly stopped. I opened my eyes—we were floating! Then, suddenly, we accelerated forward.
Kei Black POV
'Well, that was easy. They didn't expect a flying enemy, hahaha.'
We flew to the ship, where my other droids were waiting, having already captured Luna Alraune Mandrake.
"Sir, we have captured the objective. Subject Luna is in the prison cell as we speak. Permission to go to the recharge bay?" BX-C1 reported.
"Permission granted," Kai Black replied.
He walked into the prison area and placed Rosa in a cell as well.
"Enjoy your stay. We'll be going to another system," Kai said to Rosa and Luna.
"What? Do you mean another system?" Luna asked, confused.
"Oh, right. I forgot—you're still in the medieval era. Short explanation: we're going to another world," Kai said.
"Why did you kidnap us? We have no conflict with you!" Rosa shouted, her voice trembling.
"Hahaha, well, you see… I find you interesting," Kai said with a grin.
'Also, I need samples for my gem creations in the future,' he thought.
Luna and Rosa blushed.
"P-PERVERT!!!"
Kai smirked.
'This will be fun.'
