Waking up from what seems to have been a long sleep and just having remembered being picked up from the crystal pod and being held in his mother's embrace where he yawned and eventually fell asleep.
Now, however, sitting up in his pod inside the nursery, looking left and right, noticing that the others are still asleep including his twin sister, Ferly, that happens to be sleeping beside him in their double-pod.
Not really having much time to inspect the pods before, and seeing that everyone else is still asleep, Bhainz proceeds to feel the texture of the outer layer, reaching out his hand, but before even reaching some point of enlightenment, a bolt struck through his plan, staring at his outstretched arm connecting to a hand that seems to be twice as big as before.
Bhainz looks at the others, and, too, they are twice the babies they were in size since the last time he checked up on all 18 sisters, "Looks like the pod babies levelled up to big babies...", scratching his head thinking to himself.
Laying back down on his back, he begins to read through the [Eating Fruit; Gravitating Heaven] book he received some time back.
It would appear that the mentality of his current baby-self is rather fresh, and thus, absorbing knowledge is rather fluid.
Browsing through the content and quickly reaching the meditation part, in the introductory overview, it is stated plainly that the three meditation techniques are, in fact, sequential.
Every 10 pages is a systematic approach to a particular meditation, whereas the three meditations are: Allocation, Basic and Clarity.
The point is to consume a particular fruit, then proceed to Allocate, form a Basic foundation and then achieve Clarity from it.
After having proceeded through the entire process and moving on to the part of seed cultivation; the Clarity state, according to the manual, is capable of, by means of understanding, producing the structure of a seed after having followed the formulaic methods described in the chapter, which, of course, consists of four refining processes.
The processes are, by means of following after the meditation, a practical approach to the cultivation methods Allocation Demonstration, Basic Emission, Clarity Fundamentals and Generation, which, of course, is generating the seeds.
Wondering to himself right now, that, perhaps, the other big babies, too, are receiving similar instructions while they are asleep and that maybe it is different.
[Origin System: Root Network Notification
-the Network is currently busy
-
Origin System: "It would appear that they are receiving information on cultivation methods and the rest, however, that is just for the basic understanding.
The babies are currently traversing the first floor of the library through the Network, however, I have decided it unnecessary for you right now, but, next sleep would require your presence; there, class will be held. The others have already noticed your absence and Ferly, your little sister is looking for you."]
Bhainz: "Alright then, Origin, send me in-"
Origin System: "Connecting to the library-
- Connection established"
After closing his eyes. , and his consciousness rushing through some spark in the dark behind his closed eyelids, Bhainz, having found himself inside a beautiful garden, scans the area, where he notices his sister, Ferly, standing near a small tree, reaching out her small hand to some kind of berry.
However, like some sort of intuition-
Shua!
She turns her head to look in the direction of Bhainz standing a couple of metres away, and then-
Shua!
All the other babies, his 17 other sisters look at him, meanwhile, at the speed it takes the first beam of light from the morning sun to reach the ground, Bhainz has already discovered that he is now laying on the ground after having been tackled by Ferly.
Ferly: "Wh, Where were you?" Looking concerned, poking at his green robe, she begins cross questioning him.
Reaching out his hand and then flicking her forehead, "Oww, that hurts", rolling to the side and sitting up rubbing her forehead, Ferly complains.
Looking at his sister that has tears forming at the edge of her eyelids, Bhainz explains after standing up, " I was at Pete, I mean Timmy's house-", before reaching out his hand and helping her stand up straight.
"Pete, Timmy?"
Bhainz gently wipes away the tears from her face and changes the subject, "How long have you been here?", having himself not understand his explanation, and that it is probably a phrase he picked up from all of those clowns he absorbed into his shadow world consciousness, Bhainz decides not to spend more time on the notion and thus stroking the green hair of his sister.
Ferly: "Uhm, since sunrise."
Looking to the western sky, he notices that it is basically late afternoon already and that they all will probably wake up soon as it is almost sunrise outside of the library, where they still lay asleep in their pods.
The other seventeen sisters, having stopped what they were doing, walk towards him, where they surround him ajd his little sister-
Boom!
His head is flooded with questions and introductions; grabbing the hand of Ferly, he begins introducing himself and at the same time hugging his sisters one by one.
Feeling somewhat strange, and at the same time a sense of kinship, Bhainz begins to answer all the various things asked of him.
"Well, Alice, let's find out about that later, maybe somebody else could shed some light on that topic; uh, no, I haven't tasted it yet, Claire, it is called the Bell-Fruit you say?-"
Feeling his hand being gripped even tighter than before and noticing that the sun is setting, Bhainz exhales a sigh of relief, realising that his sisters are a handful and not long after-
[Origin System: "This really makes you a Siscon, you know, according to the information acquired from your shadow world-"
Bhainz: "Now that you mention it, such a thing does stem from those clowns, I think it belongs to the consciousness of one of the clowns that was present in that boardroom meeting that one time; who would have thought that the CEO of the company knew what a siscon was, well, I guess he had his work cut out for him, eventually their new line of products would have flooded the market, before I dropped in, of course, now, however, they have really helped me in producing some good products, like that shadow patch thing.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
Origin System: "True, that clown, even him, you know, that clown that has some sort of solar-orbit gravitation, also worked day and night, I believe, with assisting you in developing new ideas-"
Bhainz: "Well, I did leave InaLor in charge before I left, and with the help of Shadow Force Assistant, managing the Shadow World will be easy-"
Origin System: "That will not be necessary, and don't ask why-"
Bhainz: "Then, why not?"
Origin System: "..., ah, looks like you are returning to the nursery, morning has come-"
Bhainz: "Excellent timing as always, Origin-"]
While having the conversation with Origin, Bhainz has also been interacting with his sisters, occasionally asking Ferly's opinion and in doing so, she too is included in the various discussions and just slightly, he feels the tight grip holding his hand loosen, although barely, before being whisked away, their consciousness, back to the nursery room; where it appears that the morning sun has already escaped from under the doorsill of the night sky.
Sitting up from his double-pod, yawning and then proceeding to stretch out his arms, the others, noticing this, proceed to do just as he does.
Not paying much mind to it, looking to his side at his sister rubbing her sleepy eyes, patting her on the head, "Have you slept well?"
Ferly, barely awake, replies with a nod of her head, " You still have some sleep in over there", Bhainz informs her but she just stares at him blinking. Deciding it useless, he proceeds to lick his thumb and wipe the corner of her eye, before, storming through the doorway, that fiery woman Claudius, gathers the attention of all the babies, while not even sparing a glance at Bhainz, begins introducing herself-
"Hello and good morning Celestial Babies, my name is Claudius, I am your big sister but also, from this day forth, am also your instructor-"
"Good morning big sis Claudius"
Looking in the direction of Bhainz and remembering their previous interaction, "That's Instructor Claudius to you Bhainz!"
"Big sis, I mean, no, Instructor Claudius", replying whilst thinking to himself that this big sister/instructor of him does not forgive so easily.
Turning her attention back to everyone, Claudius continues, "It has not been that long since your birth, three months have passed since then. As you can tell, the pods are no longer big enough for you to sleep in, and thus, due to you rapid growth, a larger sleeping quarter has been assigned to you all, however, before all of that, follow me to the washroom."
Hopping out from the pods, the babies follow behind Bhainz, who also happens to be following Claudius, although absentmindedly, thinking " The fractured Universe of Clown does not seem to be that fractured, perhaps just scattered, although, I cannot really say that until I have completed the cave back on Origin Continent", walking out into the hallway and from there exiting to a footpath in the garden leading to the washroom.
[ Origin: "That is correct, you are still just a novice, after your Origin State has reached Master, it will then be required of you to submit a detailed report of your findings and only then will you have cultivated a complete Origin Core-"
Bhainz: "Origin Core?"
Origin: "Origin Core!"
Bhainz: "Yes, Origin Core!, but what is that?"
Origin: "It is the prerequisite of cultivation on the Origin Continent if you are to advance to the next, which is Civil"]
Entering the washroom, and also noticing a partition designed just for him, he enters it, proceeding to disrobe from the green cloth before being bathed by steam, gently cleaning his body.
[ Bhainz: "Civil?"
Origin: "Civilian!"
Bhainz: "Civilian?"
Origin: "Civilised!"
Bhainz: "Civilised?"
Origin: "Civilisation!"
Bhainz: "Is this fun for you?"
Origin: " It is...Is what fun?"
Bhainz: "Hehehe, you know, I am really starting to miss the simplicity of Shadow Force Assistant, my guess is that you do not have the intelligence for social cues-"
Origin: "...User, that was uncalled for-"
Bhainz: "So tell me about what follows after the prerequisite of Origin has been met."
Origin: " You will then travel to the Civil continent, where you become a Civilian and thus be recognised as a Civilised Existence, before completing the cultivation of the Civilisation core."
Bhainz: "Speaking of which, I do feel rather uncivilised right now, being a baby talking to himself-"
Origin: "You are an Original existence, Bhainz-"
Bhainz: "I honestly feel more uncivilised than Original while having this offline conversation with a 'speak and spell'"
Origin: "Is that another reference you learnt?"
Bhainz: "Hahaha, it is-"
Origin: "I think you have spent way too much time in that workshop of yours with all of those clowns, I advise you, as the Origin Intelligence of the continent, to complete the cave when you return, the clown Curving Smile is waiting atop a throne for your arrival and also after completing other caves, diversity will be added to your workforce. The Origin Market is tough, you need more mouths to chew through the fat before going to the next continent.
And, by the way, in reply to your condescending reference earlier, I am an Intelligence that has been around since the beginning of Origin and am only managed by the brilliant Headmaster Serlor; also, I am the intelligence residing inside your incomplete Origin Core, I am also what your Shadow Force Assistant hopes to achieve after many evolutions before being able to assist you in the next continent, therefore, it is rather unwise of you to compare me to an intelligence birthed solely from your Individual Force barely out of it's diaper; Bhainz, it is still to soon for you to comprehend the magnitude of assimilation.
Bhainz: "Okay, just relax, you are surfing through all the tunnels of my earwax with all this information, luckily I am being cleaned by this gentle steam, and besides, Origin, you sound like a fangirl/boy, with the way you address the headmaster, hehehehe-"
Origin: "The headmaster is brilliant, but your personality is incapable of seeing it, thus, you are just staring at a wall-"
Bhainz: "Well, I have always had this personality, or perhaps it was a slow process reaching up to this point."
Origin: "That is correct, the fact that you have developed a personality in the Dreamless World is the reason as to why you have ascended from it, overcoming that particular wall."]
After the steam has thoroughly cleaned his body and a warm wind drying it, Bhainz proceeds to wearing a clean robe given to him earlier.
Exiting the partition, his sister, Ferly, runs to him, reaching out her hand grasping his and walks next to him.
"Everyone is now to follow me to the Celestial Garden, where your first lesson on Celestial Magic will take place."
Exiting the washroom, onto the footpath and then to the hallway, they all follow Claudius to the Celestial Garden, north of the hallway, where, eventually they exit to, coming into view, a lush green beautiful garden, with tall and short trees, some of which branch all the way up to the heavens with fruit hanging from it displayed like stars in the sky.
Hearing the gasps of awe and wander from his sisters, Bhainz, too, cannot hold back his amazement, "No wonder the book is titled that way, truly, fruit gravitating heaven, I guess I am to become like that tree which gravitates the heavens-"
[Origin : "Your main mission is to eliminate the Shadow Stormers that have invaded this world; as a reminder, the Shadow Stormers are a species of existence that feeds on the evolution of worlds, thus, becoming like that tree is just part of your mission, Origin User, Bhainz-"]
Having been reminded as to why he has been sent here and also about the invasion from the four external Forest Discs, Bhainz averts his attention from the tree and straightens his gaze to look at Claudius.
Noticing the gaze from Bhainz, Claudius looks into his diamond-blue eyes that looks just like that of the Divine Celestial Mother, however, by some peculiarity, she senses alarm, for a moment, his eyes become pitch-black with crimson streaks crashing through the blue diamonds.
The blue of his eyes dissolve into the darkness, only to be displayed like starlight.
"Th, this...B,Bhainz, what are you..."
At this point, he cannot even hear her as his Shadow Force, contained by the Circuitry of Origin Magic, sealed by the 10 Origin seals undergoes a change-
[Origin System Notification:

Stabilising-]
By a blink of his eyelids, like the celestial movement- orbital function 'hither', the blue starlight rush forth from the darkness, thus, returning the colour of his eyes to the previous diamond-blue.
Raising his finger to his lips, then communicating to Claudius through Root Network, "Not now, big sister Claudius-"
"I have already informed Mother-"
"That's fine, but I do not want the others to know-"
"Mother has also said that and for us to immediately to go see her"
Turning her attention to the still awe struck sisters looking at the verdure, "Everyone, something came up, an instructor will be replacing me for today. Myself and Bhainz has to go somewhere for a short while-"
After a different instructor arrived, by a bright blue glow, Bhainz and Claudius disappear into the light, only to appear inside the palace quarters of the Celestial Forest, where the Divine Celestial Mother resides.
Rising from her throne, the 200m tall Celestial Mother waves her hand through the air- "Let's go somewhere more private"
By the bright blue light, they relocate to a garden before a small cottage.
"Welcome to my private residence, my beloved children-", the now 1,6m tall Celestial Mother gestures for the two to enter.
