“Sure, just a sec I will forge the gem so you can get back to your work.” Anna’s words did not guilt me as we both wanted separate things from our relations.h.i.+p. If she was looking for a friend in me I was down for that but clearly, she wanted more which I am not ready for yet. I have to be heartless to make it clear to her to avoid any misunderstanding in future.

“You know this is the part I like the most about you, ruthless and goal-oriented. I am in no hurry, I will make you mine soon.” As the wealthiest, strongest and most beautiful la.s.s of the southern region, Anna never thought that there would be a day when she would say such pitiful words to a boy and not raise a single emotion. No, if it’s this boy in front of her then she should have expected such ruthless words from him.

“All the best then.” I did not take Anna’s word seriously. Instead, I put my mind to forging the Ego Gem. With my spirit in the Centre, I started gathering the purest of my soul energy around and compressed them in a spherical shape. Then I made use of Hive AI to get a perfect spherical shape and pinpoint an accurate centre for my spirit.

As Anna said I soon notice that the soul energy surrounding my spirit slowly condenses into a solid form and starts enclosing my spirit like a coc.o.o.n. This is it I thought? Will the gem forged in such a simple way contain the endless empty s.p.a.ce I had been in. How is that possible? So mysterious.

It did not take long for the entire soul energy surrounding my spirit to condense to a solid form and finally enclose my spirit into what looked like a spherical bead more than a gem. With that, a bunch of notifications from grimoire started to sound in my mind. I summoned my grimoire to check what was up and I was notified that the Ego Gem is added to my physique stat.

[Ego Gem is added to hosts Physique Stat] with the remainder of the notification I checked my stats and saw a new addition to my physique stat, Ego Gem right next to the calamity soul core. Then I checked the Ego Gem physique info.

[Calamity soul core and Ego Gem can be fused, will you proceed with fusion?] Ever since I knew about the Ego gem I suspect both were the different sides of the same coin. This proves it.

[Proceed/Cancel]

[Proceed] I did not see a reason not to and also I can not get a second opinion on this since I am the only one with both an artificial human core and an Ego Gem.

[Proceeding with Calamity soul core and Ego Gem fusion…]

[Note: Please enter the state ‘One with the world’] I followed the advice and entered the state One with the world.

This was my first time entering this state and I felt like I suddenly became a part of this huge energy or ent.i.ty. I was lost in this big swarm of energies that was trying to influence me some or the other way. And so many emotions ran through my mind right now honestly I got to say it was very much similar to doing cannabis for the first time. The similarity was astounding and uncanny. Was it like this for everybody or just me? I do not know if it was supposed to be like this. Maybe it will take me a while to get used to it. Soon I came out of the state unable to handle all the energies trying to influence me.

“You are finally awake. How was your first time connecting to the world? ” I heard Anna’s voice and focused on it to awaken from the muddled state I was in since coming out of the one with the world state. The influence of the energies I experienced earlier still affected me in the real world. I was having a hard time and could not even think straight. But thankful I used Anna’s voice as a beckon to focus on and close all the other thoughts and emotions affecting my mind.

“Hold on a minute,” I asked Anna to wait as I checked my grimoire notification to see if the fusion of Calamity Soul Core and Ego Gem was complete.

[Calamity Soul Core and Ego Gem fusion successful]

[Origin Card updated]

[Host status is updated. Please check at the host’s convenience.]

“What’s so important in your grimoire that you ignore the beauty in front of you? Was your Ego Gem formation not successful? I doubt a prodigy like you could fail at a sure thing.” Anna asked curiously, seeing me intently stare at my grimoire.

“Yes, I was successful in the creation of the Ego Gem. I was checking its info to see if I forged or right. As I had a very unusual experience connecting to the world for the first time.” I did not tell Anna about the new mutated gem that formed in me instead spoke about the experience connecting to the world.
