THE WORLD Is As Complex As It Can Be
21. Information Overload is a Terrifying Experience.

21. Information Overload is a Terrifying Experience.

After playing some bowling, we rented a random hotel we found on the other block. The hotel room was neither classy nor "low", it was average for the empire.

And so, we waited until it was time to start the tasks.

"So Jade, do you have any siblings?" She was now calling me "Jade" as a nickname. I nodded my head in response to her question.

"But I can't show you any pictures of them" I actually can't, I don't have any pictures of Yang because I never cared to have a picture with him, and I never even met Yin.

"I see, I understand. I wish I could meet my siblings" she said in the last sentence with a sad smile and tone in her voice. Now that reminds me, she did tell her father, that my "brother" is killing all of his kids in a twenty-five-year interval.

'Hmmm, I should also visit Earth... I never even met Yin.'

I decided I would after completing this task. I should keep it a secret from Yang, who knows, he might just attack me while I am asleep because I met our... or rather my sister since Yang just decided she was not his sibling.

"Oh, it is now fifteen-five, we should begin preparations. So do you know how to turn into a spirit?"

What? I can manipulate my spiritual form, but I don't know how to turn myself into a spirit.... Why do I even need to turn into a spirit?

I slowly shook my head. I should've read the manual.

"I see-" She took out a manual and began reading them. I wonder why she is doing this. Weren't we going to send avatars on the targets? "Jade, how many dimensions do you have?"

I shook my shoulders. I probably can't even understand myself. I am a beginner and I don't want to count how many edges I have.

"Come closer, there must be a spell here that can help us- ah here!"

"Can I ask you why you need to know how many dimensions I have?"

"So that I or you will know how many dimensions we will be learning"

"Why? Aren't we just supposed to send avatars to the targets?"

"Yes we will send avatars to the targets, but there is a law in the army that states, and I quote all military personnel must connect themselves with the group end quote."

What she said just feels so wrong... The law could be taken on a different meaning. I had to make sure that that law was legit.

"Can I see where you found that law"

"Here" She quickly turned the pages of the manual and showed me where it was by painting a finger on the page.

'it really is here, word by word.'

"What does "connect themselves" mean? If it's 'sex' then I am going to cause a lot of trouble"

"Don't be silly, "connect" means to connect your abilities with your group. Now get over here"

I walked towards her and when I was close enough, she put the palm of her right hand on my forehead. Was that necessary? Suddenly, I was feeling mana accumulating on my forehead.

"Huh... Null...." She said in a confused tone before removing her hand on my forehead. She hurriedly placed her hand on her forehead. It probably was necessary to put your hand on a forehead to activate the spell.

But I do wonder, what if someone does not have a forehead?

Oh?

While she still had a physical body to anchor into existence, I saw her real dimensions turn into zero from seven. After a brief moment, her dimensions returned to seven and she slowly dropped her hands.

"Zero" I see, so the results of her dimensions were zero, but mine was null? How does that spell even work? I only saw the dimensions of her physical body reduced to zero, while her concept and every other plane remained seven.

[Range: 3rd dimension

Location: the book the modifier of this law is holding

The book will turn to the page a single time where the spell to count how many dimensions something has.]

In an instant, the book flipped its pages into a certain page. Law manipulation can really do anything huh?

I see, so the spell was called "trusty dimension counter". What was the first word even necessary? But, since it is trusty for the army to use it always, then I guess it deserves its name.

'The caster for the spell must put their hand on the forehead of the receiver of the spell, otherwise they will feel the sensation when a human gets a stroke. Of course, the spell will still work.'

Yup, Jay made this.

"It's almost time, let's start the connecting ritual" She took back the manual that was on my hands and began turning its pages. She stopped and after a brief moment, a magic circle with cyan light appeared beneath us.

It was neither big nor small, just enough to fit both of us.

Out of nowhere, she suddenly cast an erasure spell on the whole room that did nothing except erase a few insects on the floor.

"Jade, think of me, the caster, and just don't accept the spell but want it."

I nodded my head but a question arose in my mind.

"Mizy, can I like cancel the spell after completing all targets, and how do I do it?"

"Of course you can, just think to yourself that you no longer want to be connected to me, that's all" What she said can be taken on a different, perversive nature, but I under what she meant.

The magic circle exploded into a cyan bright light and it disappeared. I felt nothing changed within me apart from having a link to her that would allow me to know where she was.

However, my partner was odd. She was now sitting on the floor, holding her head with both of her hands. Oh, blood just came out of her face.

Fuck, her scalp just exploded, leaving brain matter everywhere. Fuck fuck, what should I do?

I immediately went towards her and activated my celestial eyes to know what was happening to her.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! All of her bodies including her concept was glitching. And oh, her arm just melted and fell on the floor.

(AN: "All of her bodies" meant all bodies on all planes. That includes the soul, digital body, astral body, etc)

What do I do?

What the fuck do I do?

I hurriedly took the manual on the floor and began reading the spell she just activated. Oh, so it doesn't kill her but only gives minor headaches for a while.... What is currently happening to her is definitely not a minor headache. But still, I guess her concept of not glitching won't really kill her, so that's that.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

I was about to let her lay on her belly on the floor but decided not to because she might be mad at me for making her drown in her own blood.

And so, I decided to maintain her position with each of my hands on her back and chest while ignoring her organs and blood touching my arms.

And oh, her aura just began leaking.

Even worse, the head of the blueprint part of her soul just appeared on the physical plane and fell off to the floor.

There must be something I can do... While she will inevitably survive even if it takes a long time, I do not want her to be in pain.

And so I began to do all things I could think of towards her. Healing spells, spells that heal the concept. All of them did nothing.

'wait, what's causing her this is not a curse, but information that she just learned... Since I am 'null', that must be why.'

And so I cast a spell on her that increases her information capacity and makes her learn faster. It did something, it stabilized her.

Then it became useless the second after. What the hell? I just wasted the entirety of my mana on that spell. It would take me 5 minutes to replenish all of my mana, that is far too slow.

Hmmmm. I just remembered the trick I did with the law manipulation... Maybe it will work...

[Range: "null" dimensions folded into the 3rd dimension with a diameter of 10 meters around the law manipulator

Command: the target "Mzichey Goftkza" will accept any information no matter how complex and absurd it is, without any problems]

The moment I added a law, she stopped glitching. I quickly healed her along with all of her body, removed her "stuff" on the floor, and laid her down on the floor.

Law manipulation can really do anything.....

After some time, she finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was look at the wall clock.

Fifteen thirty. She quickly sat up and muttered to herself.

"10 minutes late huh?"

She quickly stood up, I did too. Suddenly, she took out her phone from her pocket and activated it.

Once she activated her phone, the target list appeared in the air, hovering.

"Forget about that whole thing-" Got it, ma'am! "Jade, do you know how to create avatars?" I nodded my head. While I never made an avatar before, I do know how to make one since Mom gave me some information about it.

She suddenly grabbed my wrist and cast a spell on me. I do not know why, and I am not sure what that spell does.

"Jade, because of how many dimensions you have, you can just freeze the parts where we send our avatars into."

I nodded at her request, however, I can only do that to a certain dimension, that is 10. I am not confident in using magic or space manipulation. The former because of anti-magic or barriers, and the latter because I do not know how to.

What I do know is plane manipulation up to the 10th dimension. I would just duplicate the "no movement" plane exponentially and merge it with other planes until we successfully kill our targets.

"Heh, this is going to be so easy...." She muttered to herself while having a smirk "Great! I'll handle killing them and our avatars, and you prevent us from taking too much time killing them." So, why did she even ask me if I knew how to make avatars?

She suddenly grabbed my wrist and I felt an uncountable amount of points of view. My avatars did what she asked me to do, and in less than a second, she let go of my wrist.

"Guess we are done then..." She says while using a phone that was not hers based on the color of the cylinder cover..... Wait that is my phone!

She handed it back to me with a new phone ID on my contacts that only had 2 phone IDs before. One for Yang, one for Obediah, and one for her.

"Let's meet up 40 hours from now Jade!" And so, she immediately vanished leaving me all alone in the hotel room. I too teleported away not too long after she teleported. I stuck to my plan to visit Earth.

I teleported to a random park in England using magic, and what I found was confusing. 'Am I on another planet?' was what I could think of looking at the presence of "demi-humans"

"Demi-humans" are humanoid creatures with animal tails and ears. I teleported again, this time making the spell clearer, like "home planet".

I teleported to a random park since I wanted to, but I quickly noted that it was the same park and the same bench I was sitting at. The only difference was that before, I was sitting on the left side of the bench.

This really was Earth, my home planet. This was not Earth in a different universe. What happened here when I was gone?

While the full humans are still on a higher number than "demi-humans", there was still a lot. Like around a hundred ratio. What happened here when I was gone for like a year or so? No, it was not even a year.....

I stood up from the bench that I was sitting at and began walking around Winchester. Yup, the cathedral is still here.....

And a correction from my previous ratio, it was not one to a hundred, but one to 80. This reminds me of a post that I found on social media where a school will instantly become better after a student graduates. That was what I was feeling.

Okay, enough with the sightseeing, it was time to visit my family..... I don't know where they live.

I was about to think to myself 'Jay where are you guys?' since there is no doubt Jay is reading my mind right now, but I decided to instead use law manipulation for teleportation. I don't know, I never tried it before.

[The target "Jared Everos" who is the maker of this law will teleport a single time to where Jay lives]

When I submitted the law, my surroundings changed, and I was greeted with a small Jay with long blonde hair.

"Huh?"

I was about to say "hi", but then I was teleported back to my previous spot for no reason.

I heard a splat sound that came from my right side. I looked over to my shoulder and saw bird poop.

Did Jay turn into a bird to poop on my shoulder? Or did Jay manipulate a bird to poop on my shoulder?

And it was no coincidence that the bird poop spelled out "do it correctly"

I let out a sigh.

'Jay, where do you guys live?' I thought to myself, and just right after thinking about that, some coordinates appeared inside my head. It was still in England, and so I was planning to just walk there.

Never mind, there is bird poop on my shoulders.

I teleported to the coordinates using magic, and I was greeted at the front door of a somewhat ok-ish-sized mansion. It looked expensive, but the size was not that big or too small.

I rang the doorbell on the door and waited. I looked around the front yard for a while to praise its splendor, it was full of green and white.

A couple of seconds later, the door opened with my mom Fedra opening it with a blank face. I immediately curled my toes under my shoes upon meeting her. What if she just decapitates me for no reason?

Upon seeing my face, she showed a small but noticeable smile. I also noticed she took a glance at my right shoulder. She just saw bird poop.

"Come on in!" She turned around and left the scene while leaving the door. It seems she just ignored the existence of the bird poop on my shoulder. Huh? It's gone? Oh well, she probably made it go away.

I followed her inside until we reached the living room of the house. The living room was spacious, it had 3 different couches with each having a table, and in front of the center couch, there was the large television. Why do they need a TV?

"Wait here, I'll get you a snack"

I sat on the couch in front of the television while she was getting me a snack. I wonder where Jay is?

Suddenly, something changed in my peripheral vision. A door opened and a mini-Jay with black hair. Wait, if she is a mini-Jay, does that mean she also is a mini-me?

"I expect that "thing" already told you about me, but since it is the first- or rather the second time we met, let me introduce myself. My name is Yin Everos." The "thing" she was most probably referring to was Yang.

After she finished her introduction, she sat on a different couch that was located on the left side.

"Jared Everos" I replied shortly.

Finally, Fedra returned to the living room holding a box of cupcakes. She took one from the box, gave it to me, and sat on the same couch where Yin was sitting while holding the box of cupcakes.

As I took a bite from the cupcake she had given me, I noticed she already has finished 3 cupcakes in like 5 seconds. She was also now devouring the fourth cupcake.

I think she really meant what she said, which was that she was going to give me A snack.

After I finished eating a single cupcake, I had to address the elephant in the room or rather the missing elephant in a circus.

"Where is Jay? It's unlike him to not be here physically"

"He is currently hanging out with Ash and Lay-Lay" huh? What does she mean by "and"?

"it just so happened that you coincidentally visited the hour when he will be gone" I see, so I should've just visited at a later time then huh?

Wait, this might be a good opportunity to ask her about Mizy.

"So, about the Goftkza family-" I said "Goftkza" because it was Mizy's last name and most probably her father's too. But if she did change her name, then I can just correct it.

"Oh yeah about them.... If you heard about them being descendants of Jay, it is false."

She proceeded to explain to me what had happened before. To simplify, on what had happened before. The Goftkza family ruled a planet, however, it was at this time that the empire was undergoing an expansion.

The Goftkza family decided to play it smart, they would willingly join the empire, and in exchange, Jay would have to marry and sire an heir with the princess.

Of course, Jay refused and threatened to just invade them. The Goftkza family got scared and compromised. From Jay marrying into the family, the Goftkza princess will instead marry one of Jay's military officials.

Of course, that is too good of a compromise, and so the Goftkza family added two conditions. One, the family will retain some autonomy over the planet. Two, the public will be deceived thinking that the Goftkza princess is married to Jay.

But wait.... Why does Mizy's father look like Jay?

"That does not explain why the current Goftkza head looks like Jay."

"Genetic modifications." She said without any delays. Oh well, that explains everything.

I unintentionally let out a sigh of relief, I do not want to be related to an insane monster that kills his children.

"How did you even know what he looks like"

"Oh, my partner from the military is his daughter. She showed me a picture of him"

"I see-" Fedra then began to turn her eyes around, looking at Yin, then me, then Yin, then me again.

"I guess it is time for both of you to have a chat as siblings"

She stood up and began walking towards me.

"Do not ever mention Yang, unless you want to get shot" she whispered to me. Was Yin a school shooter?

After saying that vital information to me, she left the room leaving me all alone with a potential school shooter
