Neuro SIM - Katz the Lovelorn

"You are on the verge of a Mythic Rank breakthrough", Corvus spoke to Aavesh as they sat in his office.

"Yeah", Aavesh lightly replied, deliberately not elaborating anything.

Corvus had noticed that Aavesh had changed inexplicably in one night for reasons that were probably classified - Maybe Aavesh had a secret mentor or Some Super Major Force was investing in him? Whatever they did- they made him breakthrough to Stage 0.9 Peak and even increased his Overall Nine Primal Elemental Affinity to beyond 70%!

What kind of Logic Was that? This Brat - if he dared to stick his neck out in the Outer Rings- Should other Power know of his Terrifying Elemental Affinity - He would be instantly recruited into those Super Powers!

Luckily Aavesh was willing to fight with them for now...

But this change - It was too Godamn Abrupt!

All under their Watchful eyes!

It was scary.

But He had to expect this, after all Aavesh was a special case- The Chief Commander was involved after all- things could not be simple.

However Corvus could not detect or sense Aavesh's True change- Cosmic Force.

Even Demigods could only sense something off but that's it- only Those beyond Ascension would notice Aavesh's Cosmic Force.

"Since you've reached the Point of Stage 0.9 Peak and have a Stable mental state like the Others- It's time we stopped playing around and Train you all for real", Corvus spoke in his usual aloof and dry demeanor - He was like a perfect Machine sometimes- Hiding his Terrible shock and yet skillfully remaining like a cold Professional.

"You were very volatile after your class Selection - we couldn't get you to calm your mind and fix your mental state through conventional means, so we tried to give you and the others a sense of Normality and Positive environment to make your minds calm and less volatile for what's to come", Corvus explained Coldly as Aavesh observed him carefully and spoke, "I didn't question the basic education at first but the process- was too slow- I always wondered why you had me do all that basic stuff , why you all used Chemical Aerosols to slightly reduce the Inhibitions of the Other Kids - You let them speak out their True Secrets within their Hearts and their thirst for Vengeance - all to me which I found Odd at first but as I slowly understood my surroundings - I detected the Aerosols being used - at first I naively thought you were doing this to fix their Minds but now- You are going to Turn them into Blades - Tools but why and for what?"

Aavesh asked calmly.

The Aerosols were but a minor nuisance for him - but atleast at first they seemed Therapeutic and he didn't mind them.

Just that a sneaking paranoid suspicion had crept into his heart and he naively believed that it would not be true, But as soon as Corvus spoke about the 'Real' Training - the dots connected completely and the worst case scenario came true.

But was Aavesh riled up?

Was he going to seek Justice?

Was he feeling Betrayed?

No.

This was the real world. He had signed up for this and maybe for a brief while he had some time to think Naively- the events which followed simply burned that thought now.

After finding Sara and the Tumultuous farewell with Eon- Aavesh's mind had cooled down and he changed overnight, his personality had become more calm and logical.

The Previous Events had caused him extreme Grief and a new feeling of loneliness that the likes of which Corvus, Sabine and the Kids could not fill in.

To Rationalize his Grief and Despair - Aavesh tapped into his More Machine like mind and began to reevaluate himself and his decisions that led to this outcome.

He didn't lose his Humanity but simply eliminated the Naivety present within.

Suppressing Ones Emotions was immature and Letting them Overflow out of Control was equally Immature - Balance was needed and Emotions must not be used so easily but must be let out when needed.

Emotions must not become a hurdle but channeled to achieve success.

This was why he didn't become cold but only calm.

He gazed at Corvus without any hatred or anger with clear eyes as he awaited the answer.

Corvus looked at Aavesh with a scrutinizing gaze," No"

" You want answers? Pass the Training"

"Okay", Aavesh lightly replied.

Corvus now spoke," You've changed- I don't see that familiar snarkiness within you trying to appeal to my emotions but now you don't even try-"

"Would it make a difference?"

"... No", Corvus sighed as he spoke.

"Come with me now E7Z9 - We must progress ahead, My Mental Probing has determined that you have enough Mental Stability to Go ahead with Phase 2 Training", He stood up and walked as Aavesh followed behind silently.

They walked through multiple corridors and security checkpoints before stopping infront of a Red Elevator which was heavily guarded by 8 Mechs.

The Soldiers all looked serious and focused on the Jobs, not letting a single abnormality slip by.

Their Gazes were sharp and Piercing as they gazed at Aavesh with killing intent.

The Lead Tiger Hybrid Mech hatch opened as a Hulking soldier with a Jet Black Sync Suit stepped out.

He had the Name Tag Colonel Jiu Ming.

Colonel Jiu Ming arrived with a cold emotionless look and simply spoke," State Your Orders"

"Wraith E7Z9, N7 Initiation", Corvus replied back with a Machine Like Voice.

Aavesh was surprised as this Jiu Ming Fellow didn't have an ounce of Respect of Authority for Corvus.

"Follow Me", Colonel Jiu Ming spoke with an absolute Tone and pressed his Palm on to the Door of the Red Elevator.

The Door Flickered with Kinetic Energy as it opened and let out a Pulse to scan Jiu Ming.

'Credentials and Spirit has been Authenticated ', A female Robotic Voice spoke out from the Elevator.

'Deactivating Lethal Mode- Shifting to Surveillance Mode- Proto GYX8 and Neo E7Z9 must follow D JXM888 at all times or you may be Classified as a Threat and Eliminated - You May Enter N Facility'

Proto GYX8 was undoubtedly Corvus and E7Z9 was undoubtedly Aavesh.

Colonel Jiu Ming soundlessly entered the Elevator signifying that D JXM888 was Him!

'Using Code Names, Super Secure Elevator, A Fucking Mech Squadron that has hidden their actual level and Corvus being treated like a killable Nuisance - I suppose I am about to see some kind of unspeakable secret Now' Aavesh thought as he followed Corvus into the Elevator

*BEEP

*SWISH

The doors closed and the Lights dimmed until all could be seen inside were shades of Red.

There was absolute silence among the Trio as the Elevator moved in different Directions and Multiple Routes for some Time before finally stopping at a Particular Place.

*Click

*Whooosh

Aavesh's Eyes widened as he saw what lay before him.

A Steel Chair with headset that has multiple Wires connected to a Transparent Glass filler with some weird Fluid - The shocking aspect was that it had a Human Brain connected to some Extremely Fine Micro Wires.

Aavesh internally gasped - He knew what this exactly was and couldn't believe that a Low Grade Star Country like Rathiel Republic in the Outer Rings- would dare to keep this Tech!

It was an inhumane tech that was Seldom used by Powerful and Rich Star Countries as a Method Of Knowledge Experience Inheritance, Provided they signed a Contract with one of the Major EVIL Factions.

The EVIL Factions exclusively owned the Super Expensive and Extremely Illegal Neuro SIM Technology.

The Neuro SIM Technology was once a Taint Trademark on Anyone that Dared to Buy it.

The Good Factions would become instantly Hostile against any Power that Dared to use this Tech to the Point of Extermination!

If The True Neutral Factions would Launch a Hot Bed of Financial Sanctions that would cripple entire Sectors!

The Lawful Neutral and Chaotic Neutral Factions didn't care Too Much unless this Tech was used upon any Official Member of their Factions or interfered in their Interests, then there would be Hell To Pay!

So why was it so Illegal?

A Lich Lord named Katz Gorifin aka - 'Katz the Lovelorn' invented this For a Very Disturbing Reason.

Say you had a Girl you crushed on Immensely falling in love with her Personality! You wish to achieve the Apex and Marry her in the End- A Simple Goal right?

Katz was one such dude and he became a renowned Super Mage in The GRATU Force.

But the Twist- His Crush Moira Puc hated his very existence due to an unfortunate incident. The Super Mage was in living agony as he tried to win her heart year by year but she never accepted.

Fuck She married another Person and even had kids! To Torment Katz further she sent him Live Videos of her - Well Doing it with her Husband!

Moira was ruthless! She wanted Katz to break down and Commit Suicide!

She regularly sent him Such Videos to the Point where her Husband started to even enjoy this Perverted shit show!

Imagine Cucking a Super Mage when you yourself are nothing special - Dude developped a superiority complex because Katz was rule Bound to not harm a Fellow Mage's Family.

It was clear had something seriously wrong on the inside to Torment Katz to such an extent - She could have ignored him or requested a Restraining Order on Katz to not interfere in her life and maybe things wouldn't have become horribly Bad...

But being broken on the inside - She never complained when Katz pursued her. Nah She wanted Katz to keep Pursuing her so that she could Mentally Torment him with her rejections! She Enjoyed this so much to the Point it was confirmed she was a Sadist when it came to Katz.

With all this Katz became a Joke in his Faction- despite being formidable. Everyone insulted him behind his ass for trying to Pursue Moira even after she did all this to him.

Even Katz's closest friends and family tried to Persuade him but he was extremely obsessed with Moira, their attempts falling on deaf ears.

Well - with all this he broke on the inside and kept relentlessly pursuing Moira- Never forcing her or harming her Family. This is what gave Moira the confidence to continue her Torture...

Until well- You know what they say - Broken Souls always attract Evil Entities...

A Powerful Daemon Lord named 'Kozizkron' from Kayamat smelled Katz's utter despair and agony... Kozizkron was delighted with such Fragrant Soul Suffering of Katz that he Personally visited Katz in his dreams - Showing him what he could do if he just gave in and fell to the Blissful Undeath Mythic Paths...

Welp whatever he showed Katz - it worked.

Katz sold his Soul to the Daemon for an advanced rite of Undeath without hesitation.

The Very Next second Katz awoke- He broke all Rules of his Faction and butchered Moira's family infront of her with an Undead Radiance surrounding his Body!

The True Neutral Factions despised Undeath and Necromancy, Considering it to be an Unforgivable Sin!

Katz Kidnapped Moira and Massacred his way to the Sectors ruled by the Neutral Evil Undead Lords with his Newfound Mythic Power bestowed by a Daemon Lord!

Daemon Lords were different from Demon Lords- They relished on the despair of the very Soul and fed off it to fuel their Undeath Powers while the Demon Lords were Primarily fuelled by the Sins of Mortals committed in their Names!

He became a Fearsome Enemy to his former allies and never looked back!

But this Story Obviously didn't end there- He became a Super Lich and started his assault on the Opposing Factions while trying to woo Moira.

Understandably She never accepted but this Time Katz No Longer had Rules or Morals Binding him- it was just his obsession that kept him from killing her.

Katz was a unique Lich that retained all of his Darker Emotions with Kozizkron's help and became far more Powerful than the Regular Lich's as he wished to still retain all of his Obsessions.

Moira Begged him to let her Go or to Just kill her already! She wanted her Suffering to end- Losing everything to the madman was already despairing enough- But this just disappointed Katz.

He wanted A Proper Moira- The Perfect Moira! Not some incompetent and Broken Wench!

Unsatisfied with this, Katz decided to do something so Horrific that all 3 Evil Factions were in awe of This Invention!

Being the Crazed Broken Genius he was - He extracted her Still Living Brain and Preserved it in a new container where he relentlessly experimented with Memory Manipulation Technology to 'Create' the Perfect Moira for him...

But it didn't stop there - He was obsessed with the Living Flesh as well- He didn't just want an Undead Companion he wanted a living perfect Moira! A Moira that would forever be his and his alone!

But giving a Clone Memories at that Time was rudimentary and not 'strong' Enough!

Clones were always defective Products, they always had Emotional and Memory Issues!

They couldn't be the same as the original - Until Katz found something that stimulated his research...

This 'Something' was redacted at all information levels making it impossible to find out what Katz had actually found.

After Centuries of Experiments - He finally Broke Through! He found a way to Make a Brain Sync with another Brain on an Extreme Level! To the Point where the New Brain would fully 'Experience' Everything that the original Brain did as if the New Brain Experienced it personally to the Point where the Old Consciousness and New Consciousness would become a Monstrous Frankenstein Blend- Just imagine the Strange Outcome!

This was Revolutionary!

Humans were unable to Inherit Experiences- they would have to gain them through risk, No Two Ways about it- No Material World Tech would ever Pass down the 'True experience' from one Human to another!

But Katz's Tech broke such hard Facts but at the cost of a Flaw- the New Brain would be unable to overcome the Cultivation Level reached by the Old Brain...

That was it- But even this was Terrifying! Because his Invention only required skill- It could be regular Materials that were not expensive! The Only thing that was Little bit of a Pinch was the Special Solution used to keep the Brain alive- A Dead Brain was ineffective and contained only Garbled Data - But a Living Brain was something else, The Solution was still Not That hard to procure!

This Meant mindless custom Soldiers could be Mass Produced! This Process could be done to even Normal Living People!

This was every Evil Faction's Dream!

Previously it was almost impossible to Mass Produce Obedient, Loyal and Competent Soldiers without the help of the Higher Dimensions - But this Crazed Madman Katz actually did it!

Besides one Brain could Have this Process done Multiple Times! Meaning That the previous Cultivation Level limit could be overcome with a Different Brain! But the precondition - they needed a Living Brain to create! Meaning whoever was the Poor Unlucky Bastard was going to suffer immense Torture while the still living Brain was extracted and Preserved with the strange Fluid.

Of Course - Such A Fucked Up Procedure had it's own success rate as well and strange dangerous Possibilities...

No One Ever Knew how Katz cracked the code, but the success rate of the Procedure was an odd 77% and failure didn't mean death of the Recipient but rather a strange Mutation would occur- Turning the Recipient into a Feral Monster with strange abilities.

Information about these strange failed Mutants was obscure and not Available to general Public...

Even the Other Factions suppressed Information about this for some Reason.

Anyways Katz made several of these clones and was able to 'enjoy' several Variations of Moira while the Original Moira Tull date was still kept in that Tank- Suffering untold agony as she awaits the sweet release of Death.

Katz ensured that her brain would not degenerate and ensured to delete any additional Memories to keep Moira from breaking down.

Katz would later sell this Technology to the Evil Factions as a Group offering in exchange for protection and willingness to contribute to Perfecting the Tech...

Aavesh read this up in the past Timeline to research about the Turncoat Evil Factions and the Most wanted Mythic Cultivators.

He naturally came across the infamous Neuro SIM Technology and why even Cultivators of the Evil Faction were not safe.

This Neuro SIM Tech... should be destroyed with nothing intact!

He recognised the set up and knew now- the Wraith Knights were playing with a Fire that could destroy Rathiel.

Just how and what were they doing with this Tech?
