"ugh." A grunt escaped Einstein's lips. As he raised his back up, from the bed, while using his butt to sit down. He glanced at his surroundings and squinted his eyes a little.
"How the hell did I get into my room." Einstein muttered.
'The last thing I remembered was drinking that potion, the agonizing pain that came with it and the voice telling me that I had absorbed every ounce of the Potions' essence.'
"Or was it Leonard that brought me into my room." Einstein mused, as he struggled to get up from his bed.
"Leonard! Leonard!"
His voice echoed throughout the humongous, large mansion.
As he moved through various rooms, passages, yelling and calling for Leonard.
But all proved to be a futile struggle.
After around ten minutes of searching and searching the entire room.
He still didn't see any sign of Leonard.
"Where the hell could he be, he doesn't even leave the house...and assuming he even did leave the house, where could he have gone to by this time of the day." Einstein muttered, while gazing at the eerie dark sky and the beautiful stars that shun with intense bright light, somehow illuminating the crystalline walls within the mansion.
"Huff."
Einstein took a deep breath as he calmed himself down.
Although Leonard was quite old and maybe...fragile, but with his status...no one should be able to mess with him.
'He will be back anyways. I just need to calm down.'
He entered into his room again. And has soon as he stepped into the room.
An holographic projection suddenly flared to live.
An old man with deep black pupils and greyish hair could be seen, and as soon as Einstein saw who it was, he couldn't help but let out a smile.
"Leonard." He called out while facing the holographic screen. He wasn't really shocked or awed by the holographic projection since this was just another one of the common advanced technology on planet Earth.
But if an outsider had heard him say that, they would have surely cursed him.
"Bastard! Easy for you to say."
But how was Einstein supposed to know that although it was indeed common...but how many could afford it.
"If young master is seeing this...then this means that I am no more around."
"No more around...what do you mean you are no more around." Einstein asked, his voice laced with a tinge of panic.
But the holographic projection couldn't reply and Einstein knew why Leonard couldn't reply, neither could Leonard even hear what he was saying.
Since this holographic projection is one that had been saved down for him to watch...not to speak or chat...only for him to see.
"Leonard, where are you." Einstein muttered, as tears strimed down from his eyes.
Ever since his parents sudden dissapearance and even before then, Leonard had always treated him like his own son. He cared for him, he loved him...Einstein literally got everything he wanted.
"Why? Why? Why did you leave me alone." Einstein roared in defiance.
Tears strimed down from his pupils as he spoke.
"I thought you said you were going to accompany me to find mom and dad...why?"
As though the holographic projection of Leonard already knew what Einstein would be going through.
"No need to cry young master, and I didn't abandon young master, all what I am doing is for your sake.
Young master doesn't need to worry, I will always be with the young master...whenever you need me."
The holographic projection of Leonard said with a bright smile.
" And also, now that young master havs started his cultivation journey...hope young master gets stronger fast, only then can you be of help to your mum and dad...We will meet again, Einstein."
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
The holographic projection of Leonard said with a smile as it suddenly vanished completely from sight.
This was the first time Leonard called him by his name, he felt a kind of joy in his heart which he couldn't seem to understand.
"I will get stronger Leonard, I will get stronger. So I can find you, mum and dad." He muttered as the tears in his eyes seemed to recide a little.
He suddenly remembered the words of Leonard, as he was left in confusion.
'started my cultivation journey, what does he mean by that.'
Einstein muttered, as it suddenly clicked onto him.
Maybe...just maybe the potion had allowed him to break through to the first stage and become a Mana Spark Stage Practitioner/ Expert.
His eyes suddenly lit up as he punched out.
And then...Boooom!!!!
A terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted forth from his hands, as it smashed onto the crystalline wall, causing no damage.
But Einstein's eyes lit up...as he knew he didn't even have close to half of such power before and even the energy that bursted forth from his hands was without a doubt...Mana!
Just as he was lost in confusion, as to what was going on and how he managed to suddenly breakthrough, beginning his cultivation journey.
A voice suddenly resounded within his head.
[Congratulations Host, Host had successfully fused with the bio nanotech system, reaching an impossible feat of a 100 percent compatibility.]
"What the heck was that." Einstein muttered, as he suddenly jumped to his left side, while looking around for where the sound had come from.
[Host doesn't need to fret, am within the host, well to be more precise; the mind of the host.]
"Host?" Einstein questioned, before he further added.
"So you are some kind of fucking parasite."
[Well technically no, but logically yes.] The voice replied.
Einstein immediately collapsed onto his bed, immediately he heard that.
'Just fine, just fine.
I haven't even reached anywhere in my cultivation journey and I already have a fucking parasite within me.' Einstein glanced at the crystalline ceiling as though contemplating what should be his next course of action.
[Host..the system isn't a parasite. You can call me the Bio-Nanotech system or simply call me system.]
At this point, Einstein didn't even seemed surprised anymore.
'Sigh! It can even read my mind...do I even have any privacy near it at all.'
Leonard was gone, a parasite infected him...
"Just how many things is going to happen to me in a day." Einstein mused.
[No, host had been asleep for three whole days.] The voice said, as Einstein suddenly raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.
"You mean I have been out for three whole days!"
[Yes host.]
Einstein stood onto his butt.
"Alright first things first. What can you do.
Since I don't think you can just be feeding on me without giving me anything in return."
[How many times do I have to tell the host, the system isn't your so called parasite...the system is simply a system designed to assist the host throughout his cultivation journey.]
The system paused for a second before it spoke.
[As for what the system can do...the system can do more than you can imagine. Anything is possible as long as you have my help.]
"Hmph, such arrogance." Einstein replied.
[The host can choose to believe it or not to. Also does the host which to view his status.]
"Oh! You mean like an interface of sort. Fine, show me what you've got." Einstein replied.

"Oh! Isn't this interesting." Einstein commented with a smile.
He nod his head with a light smile on his face.
'seems that this system is quite useful after all.'
[Of course, the Host can never get anything more useful than the system.]
"Tsk, stop boasting. Why don't you say you are the strongest being in the entire limitless Galaxy."
[Ignorant Host, your so called limitless Galaxy has nothing in common with limitless. Anyways that will be another story for another day.]
"Hmph." Einstein rolled his eyes.
'Acting all mysterious, like some kind of god.'
"So if I am correct, my physique came as a result of me fusing with you...and that bloodline should come from the potion that I dranked."
[Correct host. The humanoid Bio-Nanotech physique came to be as a result of the fusion with host's human physique. While the bloodline is indeed from the potion.]
"Hmm...not bad. The problem now is how to grow stronger."
Einstein muttered, his eyes folded together as though he was in deep thought.
[Main quest has been Generated: Host is required to participate in the PNA Assessment that will take place by tomorrow, at approximately 10:00 A.m]
Reward:???
Punishment:???]
"Oh! So you generate missions or quest of sort. Kinda interesting." Einstein said with a smirk.
"But why is the reward and punishment unknown. Isn't that supposed to be known, so I will know how hard I should push myself."
[Host should figure out by himself.]
"Fine by me...huff." Einstein collapsed onto the bed.
His expectations for tomorrow as high as the sky could reach.
'Tomorrow...tomorrow is my day.'
That was the last thought on his mind, as he immediately fell asleep.
Tomorrow, marking a change in his predetermined fate. The question now remains.
Will it be for the good or for the...worse!!!
