Pain Threshold

— Before I go on, do you know about the Big Bang Theory? I don't want to delve into my memory for nothing.

Moreover, it causes me a certain discomfort, if not to say "pain".

— Are you referring to the suggestion of a suspect in an unsolved case of an attempted murder of a member of an aristocratic family of the Golden Demon noble line? Judging by the information I absorbed, the T'ruk was not killed by the explosion, since it was not at all in its estate Bright Ognevki. At the time, he was busy at the appointment with...

— Okay, okay, I get it, you don't know.

Really, how could the Heart know that?

— But...

— This is completely different!

And the one who set off that beautiful explosion that blew apart the red brick castle, along with all the surrounding buildings, was none other than me! Heh-heh. It's a pity that I'll never be able to do it again...

— Can you... copy some knowledge from my memory? Specifically, terms related to astronomy, astrophysics, quantum physics, and cosmology?

— Done.

「IMPRESSIVE.」

What? So easy, with no effort at all? That was fast! Wait a minute, though ... HEY!

— You copied my knowledge of the Big Bang Theory, didn't you?

— I thought you were going to tell me about it right now.

— ...

— Please.

「WONDERFUL.」

Wonderful, isn't it? A magical energy pump from the center of the planet, with self-awareness! The most remarkable phenomenon of the Universe after its very beginning! Yes, damn it...

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

I want my lungs back, *whine*. Wait, what's a "whine"?! I live... lived... How long have I lived? Well, more than a hundred years, for sure. I'm not allowed to "whine"!

— Okay, I will tell you everything now. Moreover, I will tell you about your origin, but on one condition.

— What is the condition?

— Do not interrupt me.

Yes, I am very bad. I interrupt, and I demand not to interrupt. Perhaps we should continue.

「SURELY.」

What are you doing here anyway? Ah, whatever.

----------------------------------------

The Observer trembled even at the very suggestion of what this point might be. Limitless power lurked in the limitlessly tiny object. And in an instant... No, much, much faster, all that power unleashed! The beauty of the event called the Big Bang struck the Observer more strongly than an RPG-7 strikes a automobile. The whole Universe was created by the Big Bang. Emerged matter immediately began to expand the bubble of the Unive-...

----------------------------------------

— For what reason, or for what purpose, did you stop?

F███ all this! It's so f███ing hard! My... mine... Ah, blyat! I don't even have a brain, but it still f███ing hurts! HOW?!

— Just copy my knowledge related to the concept of the "generally accepted Big Bang Theory". This way, it will be much easier for me :) (telepathic emoticon).

— Then, how are you going to tell me about my origin?

How? Just like th-...! Blyat! BBT doesn't explan emergence of the Heart...

— Well, I'll have to overcome this pain for that...

— Pain? Do you take mental damage while you analyze your memory, trying to make a coherent narrative that would touch on all aspects of the origin of the Universe in the form in which it exists now?

It is tactless, but at the same time... How insightful! Oh, why can't it always be like this? Somebody get me out of here!

— Yes, exactly. As always, you're quite insightful, Heart.

I cannot be rude to a phenomenon like the Heart of the World. It makes me feel like a scum, like something I've always tried to avoid turning into. Even if I didn't always succeed.

「WHEN DID YOU?.」

Shut up. You are not supposed to be here at all. Mh? The Heart sends some "jammed" signals.

— Being astonished by your sudden return, I completely forgot about the fact that souls must be protected from fragmentation before starting a dialogue, otherwise...

— I know what will be "otherwise".

What is this "otherwise"? What is so terrible that even the Heart does not immediately inform about it (although I already know this)? And in general, how could it FORGET?! It is simply impossible.

— In any case, I need to stop for a while to rest, I think.

— I see... :(

A telepathic sad emoticon from the bottom of the Heart looks pretty heartbreaking. Well, I was also annoyed that I could not find out the continuation of some story "right now".

As I just "chilling" here, I can see all the souls and energy passing through the Heart of the World. Oh, now I remember what it reminds me of: the rivers that flow into the realm of dead — Hades. I cannot interact with these soul.

I do not want to, by the way. And don't You dare either, do You hear me?
