Before Julian could start getting excited about the temporary skill, a spark of light shimmered in front of him.
Scintillating, the spark exploded into something large and then, Julian suddenly could see his stats right in front of him.
It was in block letters and on an invisible kind of screen:

Julian rose up a bit, excited.
He noticed his intelligence had increased the most and he kind of liked it.
But that wasn't what excited him the most. What made him smile was—
He had awakened a Galaxy plunger skill.
Still excited, he said to the screen, not even thinking if it could comprehend words.
"Info on the Galaxy plunger skill."
The words rearranged, his stats going away and then he saw:
[Galaxy plunger: Be able to plunge through galaxies. But as yours is still at level one, you'll get be taken half way and then you'll have to complete it yourself]
Julian furrowed a brow.
"Half way."
He suddenly sat on the bed, imagining the invisible screen with his stats would go away, which it did.
He decided he was going to ask the alien chip now connected to his helmet.
"Alien system stuff?" he asked no one in particular.
Silence.
And just when he was about to speak again he heard:
"[I was summoned.]"
Julian suddenly felt happy.
"What does the Galaxy plunger skill do?"
The chip said:
[The Exion system helps you whenever you are in need and it seems it's what it's doing now.]
"Yes," Julian said. "I want to go to the wall galaxy and become governor of a certain planet which the empress told me is facing some sort of invasion. They have a lot of weapons and I'm certain they'll be very useful."
The chip said:
[Since the galaxy plunger is only at level one and is temporary then its flaws are more than its benefit. Meaning you can only use it once and by once, you can only use it halfway.]
"Damn," Julian said. "That's…, just damn!"
The galaxy said:
[Nonetheless this is a really good opportunity as this is the only way for you to get to the wall galaxy in time]
"In time."
The chip seemed to scoff.
[I guess you're still too naive with space and how galactic travels works]
"Okaaa…y," Julian said, waiting for the chip to further explain.
"[Traversing this galaxy would take approximately 33,333 years at sublight speeds. However, with advanced propulsion system which is the galaxy plunger, it's possible to reduce that time to mere weeks or even days, depending on the energy reserves and technological capabilities.]" the device said.
Julian stroked his beardless chin.
"Interesting."
[But you can be there in less than three days if you stick with the plan I'll suggest.]
Julian suddenly squinted his eyes.
"Go on," he urged the device.
"[This galaxies is pretty messed up. And the travels are kind of weird, even going past human understanding. There's a certain portal at the end of this galaxy which takes you to where you wish to go. Some say it's from a certain God to make galactic travels more easier, I consider it a myth though. Few that had went through it has confirmed that it is really helpful and good. But as any other thing, it has a flaw.]
Julian nodded in the affirmative, deeply engrossed in the device's words.
[Its flaw is, the portal is at the end of the miniga Galaxy, but at the end the miniga Galaxy, there's a floating planet]
Julian laughed.
"Not so scary after all, I don't consider that a flaw, haha."
The device seemed to look (totally not possible but think of it like that) at Julian in disdain.
"[The planet is crowded with large ugly monolithic monsters.]"
Julian was shocked.
"Damn," he said. "Not good."
"[That's the flaw,]" the device said. [But once you find a way to dodge and avoid some, you'll be able to go through the portal and to anywhere in the wall galaxy.]
Julian stood up from his bed and started to pace around the room. A cogitative look on his face.
And then, the device added:
[If you get there, you have to be overpowered and at least have a partner with you]
Julian nodded in the affirmative.
"I think I have one."
The device was silent for some time before saying:
"[And so you know, according to my knowledge, the monsters there are about 8 to 9ft tall, really ugly and a fusion of meteorite and steel. Two punches from them can severally damage the ribs so when you receive one, make sure to dodge the other one. Never collect two punches at once. And again, be strategic, a ruthless damn strategist. Don't rely on your powers but on your brain.]
The device paused, as if letting Julian grasp all of what he had said before continuing.
[The galaxy plunger to take you there will take just an hour or so. So you arriving there, I'll advise you don't stay more than two days there before getting to the portal and then out]
Julian was nodding repeatedly, grasping all the information he was just hearing.
[Also don't give a fuck just as you said to me before you became the galactic knight. Don't give fucks. Slay the damn monsters like your life depends on it. Be brutal. And you've got really good abilities and skills so it shouldn't be a problem.]
"Noted," Julian said. "Thanks for the life saving info."
"[Don't ever thank me again. This is what I was created for so the thank you will make me like a master or something like that.]
"Noted," Julian said again.
"[Made any friends? You said you have some who would journey with you]
Julian grinned. "Oh that. Well, I made two large breasted and enormous buttocked ladies friends. The horny empress included."
"[You fucked the horny empress right?, my apologies for asking.]
"Smashed her large ass and also smashed the other lady, a former alien commander."
The device knew all this, but for the sake of wanting to make Julian's escapades feel private, it acted like it didn't.
"[Damn!, impressive stuff. Ha ha (it sounded robotic). Lucky you.]"
Julian realized it had a good sense of humor.
"And with each act, I gained information."
The device beeped slightly.
[Address me as Xea.]
"Ok," Julian said, feeling slightly awkward (or the conversation rather.)
"[Now focus on your mission to the wall galaxy I advise. Tell the Empress to tell the governor that she has a suitable replacement and that you're on your way. I'm certain the invasion is from the Imperium. But when you get to the planet, don't act as a planetary governor, instead act as the planetary emperor.]
Julian nodded in the affirmative yet again.
And then, Xea's voice dropped to something low. Like he was about to say something cold and… :
[Just have it in mind that everything comes with a flaw. Even life comes with a flaw, which is death.]
