[I am alive and at the same time I am not. It depends on what you consider alive.]
"What the fuck are you on dude. Is your head working properly?" Arthur interrupted him while looking at him strangely. He really didn't like these mysterious shits who considered talking clearly, a crime punishable by death.
[Sir, as I was saying... You can say that I am living because I breath, I think, I do everything just as any other living organism. But I lack a soul so I am not actually alive in a true sense.]
"Without a soul? Then what exactly are you?" Arthur was dumbfounded. He heard for the first time that someone could live without a soul. This concept was completely new to him.
[I was created artificially, just like my Intelligence. This body is based out of the pool of the best Genes of a large number of powerful warriors.]
[From these Genes, a perfect body was created through a highly sophisticated Cloning technology.]
"Damn! That's Awesome!." Arthur said with shock. Even for the original owner this was something unheard of.
AI002 continued-
[As for this place. Well, we both are in a Sub Dimension which is connected through the Spark.]
[The Spark has now completely integrated with your soul. You can freely enter and exit this Sub Dimension whenever you want.]
"Okay. That's some serious shit. But where is my Inheritance? I need to rebuild the Rain Civilization, right? Now give me POWER!" Arthur spread his hands wide and closed his eyes. Waiting for something to happen.
[After coming to this Sub Dimension you have absorbed a lot of Cosmic Energy. It has modified your body at a cellular level. This Sub Dimension is a part of your Inheritance.]
"That white light, right?" Arthur asked while being a little disappointed. He remembered the warm feeling he felt when he was inside that ball of light.
[Yes. That was highly refined Cosmic Energy. So much refined that your weak body could easily absorb it.]
"Shit. So everything was real then. I thought I was dreaming."
"What did that Cosmic Energy do exactly? Did It unlock my genes??" Arthur asked with a little excitement on his face. From the previous owner's memory, he knew what Cosmic Energy was.
'Arthur' had a few Cosmic Coins inside his desk. Those coins contained very mild Cosmic Energy that could be absorbed by humans.
It boosted the human Genes and unlocked them to a higher level.
Normally Human Genes had many limiters. Unlike most of the Alien species who had their gene code totally unlocked, Humans absorbed small amounts of Cosmic Energy to remove these limiters on their Genes.
The person who could unlock 1% to 10% of his Gene Code was called Apprentice.
Each unlocked percentage added 100KG to their strength. For example- An Apprentice who unlocked 1% of their Gene Code, could easily lift 100KG of weight. Apprentice[2%] could lift 200KG. Similarly, Apprentice[10%] could lift 1000KG.
If he has already unlocked even 10% of his Gene Code, he would be completely content.
[No it didn't directly unlock your gene code but changed your Inherent Gene Class.]
"What! That's even better!!!." Arthur was so surprised that he almost jumped.
"From what 'I' can remember... Gene Class can't be changed. These are something every human is born with." Arthur muttered slowly and tried to remember what he knew about Gene Class. He had C-Class Genes.
[Yes, but now you have A-Class Genes.] Spoke the man in a very calm tone. Like it wasn't such a big deal to change someone's Class.
"A-Class Genes! That means I can become at least a Grandmaster in future." Arthur said excitedly. There was a fire burning in his eyes. He felt like he already became much stronger than before.
Even the most of the talented students in his class had only B-Class Genes.
B-Class just touched the threshold of Grandmaster level powerhouse. A-Class Genes had the potential of reaching the peak of Grandmaster level.
"What was that dark place I was in? I almost saw the king of hell back there." Arthur suddenly remembered the space he was in before. He asked with a little discomfort in his voice.
