Chapter Text
Harry woke wearing a white button-down shirt that fell to his knees. His left ankle was shackled to the floor. Next to him was Rabastan Lestrange, dressed in black Muggle clothes.
"Crap." Harry muttered, and Rabastan looked at him.
"You're an Omega?" He asked in a deep baritone voice.
Harry didn't answer; he looked at their craft. They were in a round sphere. The back was pure metal, but the front was pure glass. He and Rabastan were in the very back, though it wasn't very big. He swallowed; he was truly trapped here with this Alpha. He hated this system. He felt Rabastan touch his hand. He jerked it away.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Rabastan sighed. "We need to cooperate."
Talent Draw Active!
"Do not draw yet." A female voice told them. It came from the panel on Harry's side that was just in the metal part of the ship near the window. "There is a secret reward! If the Alpha and Omega kiss before the draw, the Omega is able to gain two Talents! I am Kali, your AI."
"What?!" Harry cried, blushing deeply.
Before he could say more or react, Rabastan had him pinned to the wall, had used his thumb to open his mouth, and was kissing him. Harry froze for a second; he could see the advantage, but he'd never kissed a guy before. He'd hardly kissed a girl. He closed his eyes and kissed back, mainly because it felt good, nothing like kissing Cho.
The kiss was short, tender, and gentle. Harry was glad for that. Rabastan drew away.
"Draw your Talent." Rabastan told him.
How could he? His body was practically shaking from how good that kiss felt. He touched the screen gently and didn't meet Rabastan's eyes at all.
Random Multiplier!
Randomly multiply rewards!
You were the first to meet the secret condition!
Second Talent Spin Engaging.
Second Talent!
Homebody's Haven!
For every 24 hours spent in the shelter, randomly receive one shelter reward that you need most. As the shelter levels up, the talent strengthens.
"Two great Talents." Rabastan nodded. "Mine lets me roll a grade advancement on items and equipment. It lets me reroll the same item the next day and get an item or piece of equipment straight to Mythical with a two-day cooldown. So three amazing Talents."
Harry nodded, still not making eye contact or even looking at him.
"Oxygen levels are depleting fast." Kali warned. "You are in an area where you can scavenge to find supplies. The dive suit is ready. Today's goal: find some way to restore oxygen."
Rabastan looked at Harry and decided to leave the ship to look for something that would help. He was soon suited up and swimming. Harry couldn't come with him.
Harry stared out the window and wondered if he was going to die here.
Rabastan cursed as he stored every box that he could find. He was running out of time, and every box opened. He couldn't take them back to Potter for his multiplier. Maybe it worked another way. He'd find out. He was sure that he'd found what they needed. He swam back home and touched it with just a minute of air left.
Electrolyzer Attribute Card detected! Seawater Purification Attribute Card detected. 12 cartons of instant noodles, 8 cartons of compressed biscuits, 6 sets of self-heating rice meals, 15 cans of luncheon meat, 8 bottles of chili sauce, 2 bottles mineral water, and 24 cans of fizzy drink. 1 common-grade engine core. 1 Gas Compression Filling Equipment Module.
Kali's voice told them.
"Yeah, yeah, can any of this be used to fix the oxygen levels?" Rabastan demanded. "He's almost unconscious."
It was true. Harry was slumped against his side of the sphere, barely awake.
Yes. Together, the electrolyzer and the seawater purifier cards form a complete electrolytic oxygen generation system; as long as your energy levels hold, your oxygen will as well. You need a high-grade engine core to guarantee that the oxygen will never run out.
"Install them!" Rabastan ordered. "Wait, can I use my Talent on installed items?"
Yes.
"Then install them. I have the solution to the energy problem." He pulled the core out of his Inventory. It was a screen that came out of the silver bracelet that was on his wrist. It hadn't been there before, whatever this was. "Activate Talent #3. Make this engine core Mythical!"
The core in his hand pulsed with a white light, then slowly the light began changing until it glowed heavily in Orange light.
"Equip Mythical-grade Engine Core." Rabastan stated.
Mythical-grade engine core equipped. You have unlimited energy. Oxygen levels steadying. Do you wish to equip the Gas Compression Filling Equipment Module as well?
Rabastan was checking Harry, who seemed to be breathing better.
"What does that do?"
Grants the target the Gas Compression and Filling trait. Automatically pressurizes excess internal gas into standard air tanks. Requires a stable gas source such as oxygen produced by an electrolyzer. You now produce more oxygen than either of you will ever breathe. Using this, you can put the oxygen into tanks and sell it on the trade channel.
"Yes, fine."
When he was sure that Harry was safe and waking, he tried to upgrade the Electrolyzer. It jumped from Common to Rare. He did the same with the Saltwater Purifier, which also went from Common to Rare. He had eight charges left. So he used a charge on the Common-Grade Gas Compression Module. It jumped to Rare as well.
Harry woke coughing. His vision cleared, and he looked around.
"I got everything needed." Rabastan's voice reached his ears. "We have unlimited oxygen now. Can you try to use your ability on the rations I found?"
Harry nodded.
They soon had 120 cartons of Instant Noodles, 64 cartons of compressed biscuits, 12 sets of self-heating rice meals, 100 cans of luncheon meat, 32 bottles of chili sauce, and 400 cans of fizzy drinks.
Everything has been moved to the home's Inventory. Your personal Inventories are empty.
Harry was breathing evenly. He was sipping one of the two bottles of water. His Talent had drawn a dud when trying to multiply it. Rabastan was sipping his as well. He glanced at Rabastan several times as they ate instant noodles. Harry was watching the chat screen. People were crying for air. He jumped when he saw that Rabastan had leaned over to read his screen. In the next minute, their trash vanished, and Rabastan was kissing him.
Harry was soon being laid down on the floor by Rabastan. Rabastan was kissing him. Slowly, tenderly, and passionately. He clutched the front of Rabastan's shirt as they kissed. Harry was enjoying himself. This was much better than kissing Cho. He hadn't consented to this, but he was enjoying it. He pushed against Rabastan's chest; he needed air. Rabastan stopped kissing him to let him breathe.
"Why are you so good at this?" Harry groused when he caught his breath.
Rabastan chuckled and kissed him again. Harry kissed back, trying to do his best, but Rabastan was such an amazing kisser. At least in his mind.
