[storage capacity successfully upgraded.
New communication system successfully implemented.]
Twelve hours passed, Adam felt a mental fatigue like never before. He knew it would be hard, but he almost lost his mind, being unable to move for 12 hours while completely conscious made him feel like a prisoner in his own body.
Time didn't seem to pass at all, the 12 hours felt like a few days.
The first thing he did was ask the system core about the guest, it informed him that she is asleep, Adam was disappointed, he hoped she would get bored and leave, doesn't seem to be happening though.
After a long time not moving, Adam was eager to test his new body, the moment he stood up, a very odd thing happened to him, something in the corner of his vision made him flinch. "what is this!!" he wondered looking at the circular black object shining with a dim yellow light, it reminded him of a certain terrifying night.
[the new visual system derived from virtual games, includes skills, abilities, statistics, and more, using the new system and outside materials, the host can benefit from synchronized abilities with minimal distress.]
'virtual games…' Adam's voice dragged. 'was the network a bad influence on you! I thought you gonna have sh*t load of useful knowledge! You played virtual games instead?!' he was disappointed.
Instead of answering, the symbiote opened his status window on the visual system, it started explaining what Adam was looking at.
[strength stat: monitors the overall score of muscle density, bone tolerance, body mass.
Current strength: 20.
Stamina stat: monitors the overall score of stress tolerance and fatigue.
Current Stamina: 20.
Vitality stat: monitors the overall score of all internal functions.
Current vitality: 20.
Energy stat: monitors the stored energy, the unrefined energy, the maximum capacity.
Current energy: 13/200.]
Adam kept looking at them for a while, he didn't know how to react to this change, he played some virtual games before, he just didn't like them, even though they were almost as real as reality, it was a game in the end.
Now the symbiote made him feel like he is in a virtual game. 'do I revive if I die as well!?' he asked in a sarcastic tone.
[Insufficient data…
Synchronization incomplete…
Testing required…]
'you became too smart!' he sighed. 'like f*k I'm gonna test that.'
To test his body strength Adam went back to the system core area, where the other 3 boxes still on the ground. "Combat training routine." He ordered the system while stretching his muscles, before he was sent to the orphanage, he did this routine every single day.
training routine and health care functions are all part of the main home system, Adam discovered this when he was 7 years old, the system creates training robots out of the cluster fabric connected to it, and they can fight on multiple levels.
"survival mode." he ordered. this mode will keep Making robots, and as they get destroyed, the difficulty will increase until the subject could no longer fight.
the default combat training system would not injure the subject, the robots will just try to immobilize him.
Adam used to survive to Level 3, then the robots would gang up on him, hugging him to death.
As the training routine started, the floor formed ripples sending the boxes and everything else to the corners, then a gray head emerge from the gray floor, less than a second 3 robots the same shape and size as Adam were heading towards him.
[a fighting style available. Modified for the host by combining all available fighting techniques on the network.]
'what the… why didn't you tell me earlier!!' Adam ran away from the robots as he screamed. "stop the training routine…" if he didn't run first the active robots would already be on top of him before he could give the order.
in training routines the floor would become endless, as the fabric beneath him would move keeping him in place no matter how fast he runs, and he found himself running very fast.
When he found this speed new to him he was distracted, he increased his running speed as far as he can. "full monitoring." He shouted while running, a screen appeared in front of him showing a few numbers.
Time: 42 seconds.
Speed: 72.5 kilometers/hour
Distance: 845.833 meters
Heart rate: 216 heart beat/minute
Adam was so thrilled and amazed, the maximum recorded speed of unmodified humans is under 60 kph, He is running faster than the current world record holder, his heart rate is normal as well, which indicates that he is not stressing his body at the moment.
Wanting to figure out his limit, Adam asked. "what is the maximum movement speed of the floor?!" to answer him, the core brought out another screen showing the statistics of the connected cluster fabric, and highlighting the response speed and movement speed.
Cluster fabric model: G5-20.
Response speed: 0.0001 seconds.
Adaptive movement speed: 200 kph.
"well lets see how fast I can get then." He said while not panting.
He is feeling free from all his previous limitations and shackles, his heart is beating Rhythmically as if nothing can interrupt its rhythm, his muscles exploding with power the moment it hits the floor making small dents in the cluster fabric with each step, the cluster fabric forever holding its own against this power, his hand cutting through the air like a sharp knife, his lungs cleansing the air out of oxygen like an angry void. He feels free.
As he kept running his speed didn't increases beyond 76 kph, suddenly, the new visual system activated a weird alert, a caution message appeared in front of him, it didn't distract him nor obstructing his vision, it just floated there.

Unhealthy ego.
The dense smooth ball fell to the ground, bypassing the gravity field that previously contained it. It plunged a few centimeters deep into the hard metal floor, a ton of force was concentrated in a small area, making it hard to contain it by regular matter. It was still sinking through the metal floor slowly, as it was being mercilessly pulled by the planet’s gravity.[Connection established. recalculating blueprints to adapt to the signal of the new nanite cluster fabric. More physical contact with the material is required for a faster result.]“Was it successful?!” Keet’s eyes were asking the question before he even moved his lips. He was startled by the sudden disengagement of the sphere from the gravity field. He kept his eyes and scanners on Adam to detect if he is in danger before any thing, and he was relieved for once to see Adam’s expressionless face unchanging. “Can you control it?.”“Yes! The signal is different from any other cluster fabric, my blueprints needs to be modif

“she just disappeared a year after you were born, and in her place there was a message, telling your father to provide them with a certain type of technology if he ever wants to see her again.” Keet said desperately, his voice struggling in a way.“People don’t just disappear!” Adam chuckled, he was hearing about his mother for the first time, and the first thing he hears about her is that she just disappeared. The first thing that came to his mind was that she might have abandoned him and his father. Or that she could be working with the Rinvar clan.“They don’t, but when you see this you may believe the opposite.” Keet created a screen and played a video of a woman singing a sweet lullaby for an infant wrapped in a sky blue blanket with twinkling stars all over it that seems to be moving about. The woman was sitting on a flowery wooden chair rocking back and forth. She appeared to be on some kind of a ship traveling in space, a foreign star constellations were visible from a window
Supernova.
“please continue!.” Adam said. Seeing the shocked expression on Keet’s face, Adam thought that the symbiote created something amazing, so he inwardly requested the details of those spiders. However they were just normal spider scouts, like the one Adam used to kill the man who attempted to kidnap Mela.Keet’s surprise wasn’t triggered by the blueprint itself, he counted 8 spiders rushing in all directions at the same time, and the 8 if them seemed semi-intelligent while moving all over the base exploring about. Even Keet wouldn’t be able to accomplish such a level of control without automating the constructs.Which means either the spiders were all automated and the young kid already knows how to automate drone actions, which would be scary at his age. Or he was directly controlling 8 individual actions while still focusing on their talking, which would be horrifying.The reason Keet didn’t consider the probability of an artificial intelligence, is that the spiders were mostly just to
Hearing about Zenith.
Adam plunged into the ground raising a cloud of dust and creating a small crater around him as he landed like a super hero on one knee and a closed fist.[The modified armor blueprint features ionic thrusters with up to 8 tons of pushing force.]‘you telling me this now?!’ Adam shouted inwardly at himself, he had no idea that the symbiote modified the armor already. his cognitive abilities and thinking speed were on another level compared to yesterday, but still he was a human that easily got distracted by the feeling of freedom and liberation, and forgot all about the need to stop and land at some point. He also wanted to show off a little in front of Keet to pretend that he wasn’t in need of help or assistance, which resulted in a minor knee bruise and a sore knuckles.“That was a cool Landing. Was it painful?!.” Keet chuckled, commenting on his landing and making sure to save the footage of it in his memory for later use.“You noticed! Well! It just needs some practice.” Adam smile
Not again.
“You should come with me to the main base first.” Keet said to Adam, pointing at the middle of the island. The main base wasn’t far from where they were, the whole island was 20 km across, it would take them less then a minute to reach there flying.“Okay you go first and set a beacon, I’ll test some old tech with this new unlimited energy.” Adam didn’t argue with him, but he was still going to do his tests. He turned his clothe into a skin tight jump suit with a helmet covering his face. Two long thin wings grew from his back, ending with a jet engine each.“Do you know how loud these things are?! If you break the sound barrier with them you could damage many equipment on the island. You should try something else.” Keet stopped Adam from firing up the engines. he hated this era of technology for its too little care for the planet’s well-being. Unlike the mock engines that Adam was planning to use, the real ancient jet engine used a dangerous fossil fuel, which didn’t just endanger th
A small conversation.
Adam was sitting on a wooden table behind the house, eating his big breakfast while surrounded by trees, flowers, and whistling birds. The rich sunlight bathed him in its warmth and its wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiations. “Birdy didn’t wake up yet?! He sure doesn’t miss Gem.” He said stuffing his face with more food, He stopped focusing on chewing much, the food would disappear in a few seconds anyway. He was worried about Birdy, it was unnatural for the kid to sleep in.Birdy used to wake up earlier then every one, Adam would sometime Hear him laughing on the top bed, he thought at first that he was having some weird dream. When he asked him about it, Birdy Said that it was the only time of the day he would quietly enjoy reading his comics.“That boy is actually quite something! He trained for four hours straight after you went to sleep, not taking any rest until he passed out on the living room’s floor.” Keet informed Adam while aiming a barrage of scanners and detectors at
