The Controller

<<I am and I am not the spirit of **** or what you call 'the orb'. You can simply call me The Administrator. Your name is important because it needs to be recorded for a link to be established. As you may know, at your level, a name is more than just an identification tag.>>


'So, both, huh? I guess it is the orb but also not the orb. That's means it's different from normal artifacts. And the name of the orb was muted. I am guessing it won't say anything further on that.' Deciphered The Doctor.


"I see. I am guessing I will never find out your true name? Why is that? Also, shouldn't a link have been established once the contract had been established? As for my name, what are the options?"


<<Yes. You do not have the authorization to know my true name. A link provides you with access to **** and the ability to manipulate **** within the bounds of your authorization as The Beneficiary. The contract just gives you the right. You can still choose to decline. You can choose a name for yourself, or choose one based on your established titles or your origin name.>>


'Heeh… Authorization. That could be troublesome. I'll have to find out more about that. And would I be dumb enough to decline after all the work I put into this? Unless there's a good reason to. I should find out more before I decide.'


"My origin name huh… It's been ages since I last thought about that. I choose The Doctor as my name."


At the same time as the voice sounded out, images were projected into his mind and he could feel a clear connection to the orb that didn't exist before.


'Hoh… I didn't think it could increase my title alignment. It seems I have much to learn.'


"Now then, I have questions but I presume I will receive my answers after I establish a link?"


<<Yes. Do you wish to establish a link?>>


Immediately after, The Doctor could feel the connection between himself and the orb strengthen. It was more like the connection he had with his treasures. He knew that he could control it, except unlike most treasures, he didn't know what it was or the extent to which he could control it. It was in his grasp but still independent of him.


Following the establishment of the link, information on how to control the orb, what to gain from it, and what was required of him was sent to his brain. The information wasn't too much for a brain as developed as his, so it only took him moments to analyze it.


"HAHAHA…" Psychotic laughter echoed throughout the palace he was residing in after he was done going through the information.


Minutes later he calmed down and consciously sent his mind into the white space to converse with The Administrator.


"This is much better than expected. However, it seems to me that I don't have full authority over you. So, what is the highest authority and how do I gain it?"


<<The highest authority is The Controller. As you have fulfilled the conditions for The Beneficiary, you are barred from becoming The Controller.>>


The Doctor expected something of the sort so he wasn't that upset. Besides, with what he was getting, he couldn't complain. However, greed overcame him. If he got such enormous benefits as a beneficiary, then what about as a controller? Besides, this was an excellent chance to test the orb.


"I am in control of you. I can prevent you from searching for a controller. More importantly, you have seen me fulfill the conditions for a beneficiary easily. Don't make things difficult. Just tell me the conditions for the controller authorization and let me begin fulfilling them." He said with a threatening tone.


<<The 5 before you said something similar.>>


Although The Administrator said this in a matter-of-fact tone, the meaning was implied and The Doctor understood.


'5 eh? I guess that explains 06. For now, I shouldn't cross its bottom line. This orb is far more dangerous than I thought. I should find out more if I intend to make a move. Acting rashly will just get me killed.'


"I apologize. Could you explain what this System is and how this will work moving forward?" He asked in an amiable tone, but there was hidden malice within the depths of his soul. Having been at the top for too long, he didn't like the feeling of powerlessness this orb gave him.
