But that was just an experience from my childhood, it didn’t matter now, either way there wasn’t king to be an immediate reaction once I’ve used it.
According to Olaf, it would no less than 72 hours for the nanites to completely map my body and assimilate themselves into it. There was a very long digital manual that came along with the (BEARD) but I’m not really a fan of manuals so I just skimmed through it and then kept it somewhere within the treasure trove of a digital library in my house. And then just like every other night, I logged back into the game, we still had a planet to escape from anyway.
I logged back into the game a few moments later, the familiar walls of my Captain’s cabin left me feeling a sort of comfort and relief that I never experienced before. This was familiar, just like my home, this ship felt like a safe space for me, and I was happy about that, because with the way things were currently it didn’t seem like there would be too many safe spaces within the game for me and my crew.
Somehow, every time I logged off on this ship, I would always end up in my bedroom, couldn’t figure out why that is, but it was a welcome bonus. I got down from the bed and saw a pug sized Sky sleeping on the floor, her pulled skin was a shade darker and she seemed to be growing tusks already, though there were two suspicious nubs on her head, made it seems as if she was growing horns too. I picked her up and made my way out, there was something I had to take care of first, before knowing exactly where we were and what out next steps would be.
I made my way to the Infirmary, I walked in to Jack being taken care off by the priestess, but he was staring at her a little too much if you ask me, kind of like hero worship. But come to think of it, I don’t even know her name; that’s quite irresponsible of me, but everything will fall in place in due time. It didn’t take long for them to notice me standing there with Sky in hand.
“Captain!” Jack called out as he got back up to his feet.
“At ease Jack, seems like you’re feeling better than before?” I observed but still phrased as a question.
“Yes indeed captain, Houki here has been such a big help, I’m almost ready to get back into action and fight right besides you once again.” Jack said with a smile, though to me he seems a little enthusiastic. For a guy who just came out of a two week almost three weeks coma, after sustaining life threatening Injuries that could be dangerous.
“Slow down Jack, just make sure you’re fully healed alright. There’s lot’s of battle in our future, enough time to prove yourself and fight by my side to your heart’s content. Alright?”
“Yes Captain.” He answered with a determined nod, I couldn’t help the feeling that there was something different about Jack, he just seemed so…driven. Hopefully it doesn’t get him killed.
“Could you give us a minute Jack, I need to talk with the priestess.” I said to him, Jack gave a swift nod and walked out of the Infirmary, though it a whole lot more difficulty than the last time I saw him. After he was gone, I turned to look at The 5 foot tall moon elf player, get she gave off the vibes of an AI.
“Your name is Houki, I get the feeling that’s your real name, which should make you Japanese. So please tell me everything that’s happened so far, everything! It’s the only way I can help you.” I said to her as I took a seat on one of the Infirmary beds.
She looked nervous as she played with the hem of the doctor’s coat she had on, though I don’t understand where she got the bloody thing from. She had on better clothes than what she was wearing the last time I saw her, but she was such a nervous wreck it made me wonder how she was able to perform surgery on Jack. But she knew she had to start talking at one point or the other, if not I’m just going to sit here and stare at her, give a crash course in how to get over nervousness…by making her even more nervous! (I’m so smart????????).
“My name is Takeshi Houki, I’m 23 years old. Or at least I was 23 years old the last time, the last time……I graduated Harvard with a first class in medical sciences and neurosurgery, however I never got the chance to live my dream when I got sick. Tests showed that I had Alzheimer, which was weird because I felt perfectly fine. However I was told that the disease had somehow evolved and that what I had was a more lethal and dangerous one, a company of neurosurgical sciences came forward and told me they could help me, they said they were walking closely with Imperium Industries and that they had come up with a fool proof plan to treat my disease, but that the chances of survival was only 45%.
My parents were scared, I might have graduated Harvard, but it took all of my family’s life savings for that to happen, my big brother never went to college because of me, and my younger siblings had to drop out. There was no chance for me to give back all they had sacrificied to get me where I need to be. With the company offering the treatment without us having to pay for it, especially since it was still in an experimental phase, we had no choice but to accept it.
They didn’t give much explanation about what or how the treatment worked, all they did tell me was that I was going to be placed into the game as a sort of neural therapy, while they worked on my brain. Either way, I told them that should all else fail, they could use whatever part of me is left for experiments to advance science and find a cure.
I was logged into the game, no log out button, in an Avatar that was already designed. Or rather I should say I was thrown into the body of an AI, we merged in a weird sort of way, she became me, and I became her. It was then I realized that things weren’t as simple as they made it seem, becoming part AI changed s lot of things for me, it was easier for me to deduce that I wasn’t sick or anything, I just had a brain that was a little bit different from most people.
And how the hell those people found out, I didn’t know, but none the less I was used. The experiment was them trying to figure out a way to send human consciousness into a virtual world, it was quite surprising that the Imperium Industries were a part of this, I was under the impression that the company was good. But look at me now, trapped in a life that’s my own and at the same time not mine, cut off from two families, neither human nor program, a freak.”
There was shock etched over my face, this was really bigger and quite literally a bomb about to go off. If this got out, it would bury the imperium industries for good, we might be really powerful right now, but something as little as illegal human experimentation can just as easily fuck us up, massively. I got up and asked her a question.
“Tell me what company took you, and also… do you remember where you were held?” I asked her with a little too much fire in my voice, she shook a bit before answering me.

“The company was Antoine Neurosurgical Industries, I believe the daughter of the company’s head is married to the current head of imperium industries. Do you know who I’m talking about?” she looked up and asked me.
“Well I do, considering I just fucking put that bitch in a cell and kicked her puppet husband, aka my greedy as fuck, moral less, spineless bitch of a brother out of my company, I would say yes I know who you’re talking about, intimately. Tell me, when they took you for treatment, where you take to, I doubt I’ll be able to find you there by now, but it’s as good a place to start.” I said to her as I prepared to log out again, there were just something’s that couldn’t be delayed.
“They was a facility in Kansas, I believe it’s one of their most famous, plus it also several levels underground. I don’t really remember which floor we stopped at.” She said to me as she looked up at me.
“Alright stay here, tell the others something came IRL, I’m going to get you…I’ll be back.”
The lights if the Infirmary faded away as the blinking lights of my gaming cabin showed up in front of me. My eyes it her and felt a bit irritated, but there was no time to dwell on that. I got out of the gaming cabin, Ron was asleep in a little blue bed that had been placed besides my own, to some reason, he’s only ever able to sleep when he’s besides me, and for the last few days I find that the same could be said about me.
I slowly sneaked out of the room, picking my steps so that he wouldn’t wake up to find me gone, then I made my way towards Hades’s room. I wasn’t that surprised when I found the middle aged man bench pressing weights, after I went in, his form was just if not more sculpted than mine, he was a bit bigger too, and even though most of his hands were slowly turning grey, he had a body most 20s and 30s year old dudes would be terribly jealous of.
“What can I do for you Master Aaron?” he asked me as he got back up to his feet, using a towel to wipe off the sweat that’s on his body.
“Get a strike team ready, we’re hitting Antoine’s neurosurgical sciences industries, they have a massive lab in a small county in Kansas, we’re going there on an extraction mission, I’ll brief everyone on the way there.” I said to him as I left the room to go get ready.
At this point, it’s not that I needed to be there during such operations, but I was still the leader, and there were some things where it was better if I took the lead. I blinked my eyes, wiping the tears that was gathering around them, Olaf and Malia didn’t tell me that using that (BEARD) would be so damn uncomfortable, but there was no going back anymore, hopefully this gets done as soon as possible. Few minutes later I was geared up and ready, and so were my main team, this wasn’t a bit and we would be avoiding hurting anyone, but there was no harm in being too careful and bringing in the big guns, Morrigan, Nezha, Nuwa, and The Monkey King.
Sure these were all just titles for them and not their real names, but some day soon it would be synonymous with Wade excellence and prestige, so much so that when you hear these names you either worship and respect them, or be very, very……Afraid.
