When Neph woke up, he was still tied up but with his new strength, he broke the chains like they were made of paper. After that he then looked where he was. He was at an abandoned camp site and many items where lying around. One item stood out from them. It was a sword, lying on the ground near Neph. The blade was two thumbs large and the blade was the size of a normal one handed long sword blade. The blade had little gloden cravings. The hilt was large and long enough so that he can weild this sword with one hand or two hands. The guard was red and it have a little emerald shaped in the form of the skull of a monster with there eyes and tentacules as his beard. Neph then turned around and behind him, he saw light comming from an open door. Neph headed trowads the door but everytime he get close to the door, a magic barrier block him. Neph tried to punch, kick and force his way in, but it was useless. He then look again at the sword. Maybe if he attack with the sword, the door will open? He asked himself. When his hand grabed the hilt, he heard a genderless robotic voice in his mind.
[Registering host…. Name Neph…… sychronisation with the host soul in progress…. if host want more information just say Chris in his head.]
Neph stayed still for about 5 minutes, trying to hear if someone was here. He also slaped himself to see if he was dreaming but he wasn’t . Neph yelled in his mind “chris’’ to see if he really had a voice in his head. He then heared the same genderless robotic voice. [ What can Chris do for the host?] Neph then ask what was exacly Chris since he was curious.
[Chris is an A.I that was build specially to help his host, Neph. Chris will show an H.U.D that only the host can see. Chris can also create artificial scenarios and help the host in battle. Chris also have the ability to apparaise items/ennemies/host stats and prevent the host when a strong opponent is near. The final task is to store data for the host that he can consult when he need to.]
Neph was speechless when he heared thoses words : A.I items and H.U.D . Thoses concepts seems familiar to him but at the same time he couldn’t understand them. It was a really weird felling. He look at the sword in his hand and he asked chris to identify the sword. A little box appeared on his retinia and chris voice started reading it.
[Item name : Influx
Owner : Neph
Item is emmiting magic was and it appear to be enchanted. The sword has the following properties : [SOUL BOUND]. Only the host can manipulate this sword and if the sword is away from the owner, the sword can fly to the host hand. [FOREVER LASTING]. This enchant make the blade never become dull and will always stay in it perfect condition. [INFLUX WEAVER]. The blade can create clones of itself made of magic to kill opponents. Warning the host mana will be consumed. [INFINITY]. The blade will absorb the opponent ‘XP’ when the opponent is killed. If the opponent dosn’t have enough ‘EXP’ the blade will not absorb it. However, if the opponent have enough ‘EXP’ the blade will absord the xp and will be strengthed .]
While Neph was reading the text that appeared in front of him, he heared Chris voice again.
[The Celestial ineritance is now avilable. Does the host want to continue?] Chris asked.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
“Wh… Ok….?’’ Responded Neph even if he didn’t know what will happen.
[Incoming information into host memory in 5…. 4…… 3…. 2….. 1…..]
When Chris stoped talking, Neph felt an massive flow of information coming out of nowhere. Causing him pain on his forehead. He couldn’t comprehend everything at the very moment since there were to much information coming a the same time. It felt like a billion differents teachers tried to explain him about a subjects differents from one an other. This feeling stayed until no new data was forcing his way into his brain.
[The host has recived new information. Information is being stocked in Chris databank. The host have recived new skills.] Said Chris
“Show the new created skills’’ asked Neph. Then a weird interface was displayed in front of him.

While chris was explaining to neph his skills, neph decided to explore the area where he landed. This was an old camp with tents everywhere. The camp was near a little river. Neph approched the water and he let out a scream that could be heared from miles. Neph has seen his ‘new’ face.
