A light green screen popped from his left wrist. The Blackish red mark was the one that projected the screen. When he saw the screen, he was very excited as he finally could be independent and get to know more about this world.
The screen wasn't huge; it was just 5cmx10 cm. On the right corner, there were three symbols - setting button, Menu and one small circle. All Quinn had to do was think, and it will execute.
Before Quinn could test the PI, his parents entered and checked if he was okay while Blake stood outside. Then his father informed him that if he were conscious about PI, then the chances of failure would increase thus to for safety reason Andre was forced to take him out by surprise.
Afterwards, Andre passed a dull black metal ring to Quinn and told him to drip a drop of blood on it. Quinn did as Andre said and suddenly felt as though the black ring became a part of his body.
After dripping the blood, strange blue patterns appeared on the ring, and the whole ring glowed. It was a magnificent scene, the ring then slowly dimmed and returned to being a plain black ring.
At the same time, the same ring with blue patterns appeared on Quinn's Soul-Spirit hand. The ring was glowing, and it readjusted to Soul Spirit's size. Quinn got to know what the ring truly was; it was a storage device.
A storage device has an in-build space or dimension within it, in which you could keep any inanimate things. The things kept in the space rings will remain in the same condition till you take them out because the time and space in the ring are frozen. This black ring's capacity is 100 m3.
When he saw all these details, he sucked in a deep breathe. Though he had seen many weird things and was numb to surprises, it still caught him off guard. Quinn was aware of storage devices, in fact, he has seen a few of them in the restaurant.
Few wealthy customers would use them. What puzzled him was how his family could afford a storage ring for him. Although Quinn didn't know the price of a storage ring, he was sure that it was very expensive.
When he looked inside the ring, he saw all his things neatly packed and arranged carefully. While Quinn was exploring the storage ring, Blake, Andre and Helena were looking at him like an alien.
When they saw the blue glow from the ring, all of them felt a bolt of thunder stuck over their head. Everyone was rooted to the ground in shock.
Blake was the first one to recover. He snapped out and instantly grabbed Quinn, inspecting the ring and gave him a merry-go-round and placed him on the ground and let out a very blissful smile. Quinn was confused seeing his Grandpa's crazy actions.
Soon Helena and Andre also woke from the shock. Before they could ask Quinn any question.
"Quinn, have you ever felt anything over here?"
Then Blake pointed at Quinn's Glabella. When Blake asked this question, everyone in the room look looked at Quinn, all their faces were filled with expectations.
Quinn didn't want to disappoint them, so he nodded. After all, he was planning on revealing his Basic soul to reassure his parents. Quinn's nod took his parents to another level of ecstasy.
Then they had different faces. Blake's was like a commander who has won a challenging war with just his wits. Helena and Andre were like lucky survivors of a great disaster.
Blake felt that he was too smart for convincing the couple not to do Qi transfusion. Andre and Helena felt lucky because they nearly destroyed their child due to their impulsiveness.
Blake looked at the couple in triumph, and then he turned to Quinn.
"Quinn, explain what or how you felt about the soul?" Blake asked with anticipation. Quinn thought a while before answering, no one in the room forced him all of them were patiently waiting.
"Grandpa, What is a soul? At times I will feel innumerable tiny particles moving within my body, they wouldn't have real form. It was more intangible or imaginary, but I felt a strange connection with it."
"This only happened very rarely, so I ignored it. But one day when I was watching "Squash the Bug" where many small bugs come together and forming a giant bug monster. I also wanted to make a big bug monster.
So I asked mom to buy me many small bugs, but she refused and even scolded me. At night I got the same feeling again because I couldn't get many little bugs I tried to use the tiny particles to form a bug monster.
After many tries, I still failed to form a bug monster all I could create was a cluster of a yellowish-white ball inside my head over here." Then Quinn pointed at his Glabella.
"Though the bug monster wasn't formed, I formed fluffy a snow monster. I tried to play with it many times, but strangely it will vanish after 1 minute, and I will feel very sleepy afterwards.
Grandpa, actually Fluffy's very shy. No matter how many times I called it outside, it will never come out. Grandpa are you asking snow monster for playing with it." Quinn asked Blake.
When Blake heard Quinn's question, he felt like shouting "Who would want a f**king snow monster or a shitty bug monster. You are the f**king monster here."
Helena and Andre looked at their son as though they saw a terrifying monster. They have never heard of someone forming their Basic Soul inspired from a cartoon.
Blake didn't know what to say. He was very experienced and has heard many weird things, but this is the most bizarre encounter he's ever had. Had Quinn not been his grandson he would have smacked his ass for lying to him.
'If those old frats ever get to know that my grandson formed his Basic Soul from a cartoon, they would be surely cough litres of blood, and some might even die of jealousy. Heheheeee'
Even though he was proud for having such a prodigious grandson; Blake still refused to believe the ridiculous story, he really conflicted. After deep contemplation, he thought the cartoon might have some issues as it was supposed to be the root cause.
"Quinn can you play that cartoon."
Blake was a man of action, so he immediately asked Quinn to play that cartoon. Even Andre and Helena were looking forward to seeing if there was anything special about that cartoon.
Everyone went to the television. Actually, it wasn't television; it was just a small white pod affixed to the ground.
"Play 'Squash the Bug- Episode 30'" Quinn ordered to the pod. After that, a light shot from the pod towards Quinn. The moment Quinn gave the order, everyone was looking at the pod eagerly.
Especially Helena was the one in need for inspiration in soul cultivation to further breakthrough. So she was very nervous and even prayed like a school kid waiting for his final result. She even muttered 'Dumb TV quickly turn on.'
