“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 relationship. 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.
