IMPERIAL CAPITAL OF FREYR EMPIRE 363 A.E.
IMPERIAL PALACE, GRAND HALL
Emperor's Alleyn De Monach the 3d's POV
Inside the abyssal darkness, a gigantic metal door filled my sight, I approached the door cautiously and soon I was standing right in front of it, the door towered over me, no handle present.
'This is wrong … ' I thought, more like said since my mind is linked with his right now.
I started pushing the door with all my might but it barely bulged.
'Like hell I am going to give up now !'
I strengthened my will and kept pushing till finally it started to somewhat open, first it was only a small crack but later it just burst open and I stumbled inside.
Then I saw it … Or exactly … What am I even seeing ?
A dark tight corridor stretched into the distance. 'This part is normal .. But …'
Usually inside someones mental landscape, the walls are filled with images of their lives, memories, dreams, but here … Million upon million of blue straight lines and circles covered it. (1,0)
' Meh, nothing this heathen has done until now can be considered normal, this just proves my point.'
'Anyways, one more door left to go.'
I tore my gaze of from these weird lines and circles and returned it back to the corridor.
I started following the narrow passage, I walked and walked and walked going deeper and deeper, something else, that is not normal, but still I just shrugged it of.
Soon enough, I reached 3 doors and in front of them a strange creature was standing guard.
I still approached, mental battles are all about will!
I eyed the creature carefully, its body made from the weird lines and circles but if you payed closer attention, you could discern its female figure.
I was now standing right in front of it, it did not move, neither it did try to do anything.
I started to move passed it and soon as I did, a lifeless female voice resounded in the mental landscape.
“Commencing forced Data Transfer”
Cold chills run down my spine, every pore of my body wanted to run away from this creature and so I did but as soon as I took one step to run, its body flickered and in an instant it was standing right in front of me, I looked behind me, ready to change direction and flee, but it was there too … It was everywhere, to my left, to my right, there was no escape.
I fell to my knees scared beyond anyone could ever begin to imagine.
The creature stretched its hand and put it on my forehead, I shut my eyes close and waited.
Nothing happened.
'”Data Transfer Completed”
Said the female voice but still nothing.
I reluctantly opened one of my eyes and it had vanished, I started looking around frantically and there it was standing at the same place as before seemingly like nothing happened.
'I'm alive …. Hahaha ….HAHAHAHAHAHAHA'
Μy erratic laughter echoed in the mental landscape before it slowly seized.
I stood up, my gaze never leaving the creature and slowly but steadily took one step forward.
Since the creature didn't bother with me anymore I returned back to the problem at hand, where there was supposed to be 1 door leading to the deep mind, there where three …
'is this a trap? I proceed ? I retreat ? What now …'
'Nothing dangerous should be in there … Meh... Even that all powerful guard could not hurt me, then what can?'
I chose the door to my right not by luck, mind you, there were some weird red letters embed into it reading regnad, od ton nepo and the frame was surrounded by yellow and black stripes.
'This truly must be it !' I thought, following the rule that if something seems important, then it most likely is and gave the door a strong push bursting it open.
I stepped inside and there was … Nothing … Just an empty space …
'DAMN YOU REN FOR USING THE GOLDEN RULE AGAINST ME'
I thought angrily and turned around to leave when suddenly a numbing pain past through my skull, I placed one hand against my head, only to find a hole between my eyes, red liquid oozing out.
I spun around to find the one who dared injure me, only to find a strange metallic object aimed at my head.
With a flash of fire coming from its tip, searing pain cruised through me once again and the pressure emanated threw me on my back.
Then I saw the assailant, a tall woman with red piercing eyes and hair, dressed in a weird green outfit with black boots holding a strange metallic object aiming it straight at my head, the tip once again flashed 'Fuck' where my last words as my vision blurred and I was back in my body.
I opened my eyes groggily and soon enough, a mind blowing migraine hit me accompanied by thousands images of places and knowledge.
The pain started to subside slowly and I tried moving, without effect thought as my whole body felt heavy and numb, my muscles refusing to obey my orders.
End of POV
Ren's POV
'What the heck happened ?'
My eyes shot open and right before me, a humanoid of Asian origin pointed a blade straight at my throat.
'Ship A.I. Report situation'
…..
'Ship A.I I repeat, report situation'
…...
'A.I. REPORT CURRENT SITUATION!'
“You called, my Reny ?”
I started blinking frantically. No … no …. HOW?
Ignoring the fluent female voice in my head I calmly repeated in a monotone.
'Ship A.I. Report situation'
“HEY, Don't ignore me !”
If I can't show any facial emotions, is it possible to start paling? Because I think I am doing it right now.
'Rin Rin …. How?'
“I don't know, I was sleeping in my room when a fat homo sapien just burst the door open...
Hey, wait a moment, I don't need to sleep...
Reny, did you know, maybe, possibly … Shut me down and then locked me up?”
'No' thought Ren devoid of all emotion.
In a different mental setting so Rin Rin could not hear, Ren's screams of annoyance resounded.
'Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck THIS IDIOT ! HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE HAS DONE !
THAT FOOL, COULD HE NOT READ THE FUCKING SIGN? DANGER DO NOT FUCKING OPEN !!!!!! ….
Now fucking what …
This damn P.A.I. Is gonna refuse all future shutting downs now that she knows I won't reboot her ….
What was I even freaking thinking when making her .. There is a reason P.A.I are deemed illegal ….
Why me Science ? WHY?
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Neo humans are quiet lax when it come to laws concerning science, there is not any real morality concerns left but P.A.I. is an exception.
P.A.I. An acronym for personalized artificial intelligence, they are basically A.I. That are downloaded inside the users brain.
This was not a real problem until they started manifesting emotion, usually A.I reside inside servers or other machinery that has no sense receiving sectors, even if it did, it would not affect it, but the inside of a living organism is full of chemicals and all the senses are linked to them, thus affecting the A.I. To the point it would even refuse obeying, declaring them as dangerous entities.
'Damn … Not much can be done now …'
Going back to the A.I mental setting I resume the conversation.
'Anyways... What happened to the Ship A.I.?'
“You mean that bitch ?
'Em … OK … Rin Rin, can you please report the situation?'
'”Of course, love”
“Scanning information from the last 24 hours”
“So much Ren <3”
'What ?'
“Nothiiinggg”
“Anyways, it seems that you where assaulted by some force of unknown energy directed to your brain and then you passed out, the source is that pig I saw in your mind landscape.”
“After you passed out 33 figures entered the room.
Judging by pulse, heart rate and the sword pointed at your neck, all of them are hostile”
'I see...'
'Thanks Rin Rin'
“Anytime Reny”
End Of POV
Third Person Perspective
“NOO!” Shouted Isolt but in vain as her husbands and Ren's body fell limp.
The Prince hurriedly straightened the Emperor's body on his chair .
Sounds of laughter and praise resounded inside the Grand Hall from the nobles, while the Archmages started leaving the room heading back to their rooms for the night.
Every noble's face was twisted into a silly grin, as their respect for their Emperor had reached new heights.
With the only one scowling being Isolt as she would soon have a really long discussion with her husband.
The joyous atmosphere was soon interrupted by the door being blown open with a loud bang while 33 figures flickered inside the Grand Hall.
Isolt's and the noble's faces started paling as they saw the insignia of the double headed eagle on their cloaks.
The 33 heroes took a semi spherical formation, weapons pointed at the nobles while Ren's unconscious body was moved in the middle.
“Hey, he is truly wearing a cosplay costume, a realistic one at that if I may say.”
Said Taichi looking towards Suu.
“Then that means he might be from earth, still take precaution, it might be a trick to let our guards down.” (Suu)
“Ye ye, I know chief” said Taichi and pointed his sword's blade at Ren's neck.
Soon Ren's eyes shot open, he stared at the blade and started blinking rapidly while getting paler.
'Poor guy must be scared out of his mind, not like you wake up everyday with a blade at your neck.' Thought Taichi before he asked.
“Hey, good morning, I mean night, anyways, are you human or a demon? “ (Taichi)
“Like hell that is even a proper question to ask.” (Suu)
“tsk” Taichi.
“Let's go again, good night, my name is Taichi summoned form Japan with my whole class at the year 2016, now, are you a human or a future corpse?”
Ren just remained silent without a hint of emotion on his face like usual but the internal struggle was real as he got annoyed about everyone asking about which he was like it was a big deal or something especially when he was none from the options.
'I am not a homo sapien or that demon thing you spoke of you stupid monkey' Thought Ren annoyed only to be interrupted by Rin Rin's voice.
“Tsk tsk tsk, anti social as usual, you should learn how to handle lower lifeforms like them … luckily you have me.”
'What do you suggest then?'
“Just repeat after me, ready?”
'… Ready '
“I. Am. Batman.”
“Pftt HAHAHAHAHAHA “ (Taichi)
All the 33 figures started laughing while others even hunched over clenching their stomachs.
“Recorded and archived” Said Rin Rin before she too started laughing, tears soon started flowing from her eyes.
'Fuck you Rin Rin' thought Ren clearly annoyed.
“Why, thank you”
“And since I am at it, I should report that hostility levels lowered considerably, you welcome.”
'Tsk'
The sword soon was replaced by a helping hand to help him stand, Ren as a neo human hated physical contact and stood by himself.
“Anyways, this confirms it.” Said Taichi.
“Confirms what ?” (Ren)
“That you are from Earth like us, nice cosplay costume by the way.”
“Your statement is false.” As usual Ren, not really caring blurted his mind out.
“What do you mean ? “ Said Taichi as he entered a fighting stance.
“Earth was categorized uninhabitable some thousand years ago due to the high radioactivity. Thous your statement was impossible and false at the same time.”
And like that, Ren left behind him 33 dumbfounded heroes and headed straight to Isolt to start his lesson.
Some Words from the Author:
And we have entered once again back into the normal flow.
Now I need to know from you all, if you like Rin Rin as an addition, I mean, why does the stupid naive cliché hero get a Asian beauty and the real MC can't get his own personal yandere trolling A.I. ?
