Mir appeared at the birthworld , where another account of Yuni was sitting at the admin seat . Yuni followed through with Prite and Vesol beside her while Neslihan was carrying the first account .
" Now for the tedious parts " Mir said and started marking the parts for removal " Will my second account be okay thought ? " Mir looks at it " I can always make backups , I'll start making copies now , but I will need some resource "
" Neslihan " " Understood " Neslihan received a system prompt that listed what Mir wanted , while Yuni took a peek " Some of them don't look like you need it " " I just want them " " That kind of logic is what causes a forest to be chopped down "
Mir looks at the desolate worlds that had horrible admins hoarding everything for themselves " By the way , some of those worlds were from my kids' adventures " " This is a lot " Mir commented and Yuni nodded .
" Yep and I even put a bit of work into healing them , takes a while to see the results , so I visit other worlds while waiting . There were even some that taught me a lot about subterranean micro life , which helps me bring back the life into those dead worlds . "
" What about the systems ? " " Moved them somewhere else and changed the world's culture to better accommodate them , although usually that ended with religion having an advantage over the people , thanks to the primitive level of civilization , but at least it's not a corporation poisoning the masses for profit "
" Quite the environmentalist " Mir said as they moved the references away and continued their work " I know , must be because of my past . I remembered what happened back then , it was a bit disappointing that my parents sold me to the collector who used me as an ingredient "
" Not just the worlds but the systems too " " The systems are technologically high-tech ecosystems , so I wouldn't be surprise . Although tampering with it would cause a decrease in its performance " Yuni thought , allowing references of admins who were bad at coding or pushing their conflicting desires into the systems to show on Mir's reference screen .
" Maybe that's another reason Welt doesn't like Ordo " Yuni mentioned " You just got that idea now ? " " Yeah , my mind back then was flooded with the challenges , a spike in difficulty , so I had little space in my head to think with so much going on inside . Don't you know that some sectors of the brain can get clogged . I'm not a neurobiologist , but I am talking from experience after all , if you want to break the mood when doing the deed , you have to use a word that breaks the mood "
" I don't know why you are telling me about biology " " Why not ? I learn a lot about systems in my own life , so I think I should teach you the same " Yuni said while Mir rejected that offer " I'll be honest , I still see your body as a computer with flesh "
" And I only saw a system as a cold program that doesn't feel alive " Mir contemplated Yuni's words and sighed " Alright , it's only fair I change my views when you start viewing me as something that has its own agency " " Do you not have a word synonym to that ? "
" Look , I am like the first system to gain a similar level of consciousness as the base lifeforms do , so I am just using your words in place of mine " Mir said with a tone of anger in their voice ' They're pretty mad ' " I heard that "
' Moms are fighting again ' the two thought , but they could tell that the fight wasn't going to be bad " Okay , little ones , here is your job ... tell that nice account that was here a while ago that we are going to the next one " They appeared at the top of the tower .
Yuni looks around , thinking about the people she conquered the tower with " Feeling lonely ? " " Yeah , when you grow strong , it becomes hard to find equals " " Don't worry , I'm your equal , so do tell more "
" Oh , you gonna keep learning more about me ? " Yuni tried teasing Mir " You might say something else instead of what you said before , I just want to see if you can rephrase it better " " Huh , I guess I do understand why Rein sometimes rewatches her recordings ... But I don't feel that loneliness since I've forgotten the experience but only remember the context . It feels pretty light this loneliness I have , maybe I can only feel it with the accounts here "
Mir looks at an account that gets shot out of a trash can " That was my third account . Good luck handling that one , it took a while for me to piece it back together from the graveyard of this system " " Then next time leave it that way , I would have less work finding the pieces when they are scattered all around . So continuing "
" Right , being strong is very lonely . I can recall many comrades leaving me because they feel they are not strong enough to keep up . And there is my kid who chases after me wanting to be as strong as I was in the first account "
Mir recalls the strength of the first account remembering how much Yuni had until she lost it after being broken down into four " I'll be honest , I probably wouldn't be taking risks since my kids are around , so I thought of making sure they were independent enough that they won't need me . "
" And how long did that take " " Very quickly , cause in their first account , they inherited a quarter of my talent and they intend to grow out of it . So they grew very fast and were already acting like they were older than most admins they met while searching for a system to create an account in "
" I'm glad our other kids will be young for a while " Mir said as they imagined the systems maturing very quickly into an old man like the chieftains in their world " Yeah , I'm glad too . I want my kids to be independent , but I missed the moment to indulge as a mother " Prite and Vesol appeared and jumped to their mothers .
" Mom , we did it " Vesol said , landing their corporeal body to Yuni while Prite landed their incorporeal body to Mir " Thank you little dears , now here is another one " they both looked at the dead account , with Vesol unaffected , while Prite was disgusted .
" It's a dead mom " " Okay I'll help " Prite reluctantly followed their sibling as they extracted the marked parts and Mir proceeded to work out the other one " You should have more dead accounts "
" Why , so you can easily get rid of the account without caring about the system losing its great admin ? " Mir sighed and admitted " Yeah , plus these accounts of yours are amazing , I'd love to have them "
" Oh , don't worry , we are married , so I can give you a lot of things " " No , I'd rather you keep holding onto an account for as long as possible " " Why ? " Yuni complained since she had a lot of text about the beginning of an account that said she was glad to experiment with new things .
" Because if you leave an account and don't touch it , it will degrade because the user isn't exercising " " I guess that part is right . I've been thinking about revisiting some other accounts so that I can grow them and so my skills aren't dulled , but I am too addicted to making new ones . Plus , can't we just leave the erosion of my accounts to Fractus "
" We can , but I'd rather you grow as a person by revisiting your old accounts . And if you care for Fractus , you can just get derust your rusted accounts and they can feed on the rust that comes off " " Oh yeah , that is how the rusted crown functions "
" Although Cron is being spoiled , I'm afraid they might become a horrible system in the future , so I want to get back our kids that Welt is watching so they can have their medicine " Mir said " Are you planning to give them the equivalent of antidepressants ? "
" No , I don't want that artificial stuff around , I meant medicine as in as an experience you know the saying of "letting them have a taste of their own medicine" ? In fact , can we make sure we avoid making that artificial stuff ? " Mir said .
" Come on , that stuff is useful , especially when you have the challenge to absorb them " " So basically natural food " " Ehh , it can be that " Yuni said as references to medicine that were difficult to absorb appeared in Mir's reference screen .
" These medicines require a consistently applied technique , not only that , but there are other consumables that are the same too . " Mir continued to listen to Yuni's ramblings while stealing a peek at the references and was interrupted " Mom are you done marking " Prite asked and Mir looked at the account .
" Oh , sorry " " Should I be quiet ? " " No keep talking , but instead why not talk about this account instead " Mir said and they started working while Yuni described her second playthrough in the tower .
Mir finished marking it and Yuni asked " Should I just do the same thing for the rest of them ? " " Yeah , but I want you to slow down a bit " " You think I have a built-in playback speed or soemthing ? " " No , but I can condition you " " Sure " Yuni said .
...
Ordo smiles with great joy as they revel in the reward that Welt has rewarded them . But it felt like it wasn't going to be enough to fulfill their role as a system's main source ' I need to find more ' Naul finished dealing with the problem that Ordo caused and was suddenly asked by Ordo .
' Not again ' " What is it admin ? " ... " Okay , but before you go , we need to do some procedures . " Ordo listened to all of Naul's instructions on what they can't do , but they just said " Can't you just put some challenges on me "
Naul looked at Ordo and started another explanation " Admin , I cannot possibly do that , especially if it's short-term . According to what we know about these challenges you are familiar with , forcing you to not take certain actions will require a very long-term plan . Sure , we can construct a complex challenge that forces you to take actions that are profitable , but it would also be tedious to do so . "
Ceil then appears and takes a look at a summary of what Naul was just talking about " Hey Ceil , can you help me out here a little ? " " You know it takes a while for me to read the summary of what you are talking about right ? "
" Ugh , I got no time for that , just tell the admin what happens to anyone who uses challenges and the results of that " ' I know what you've been reading Ceil ' Naul thought and Ceil sighed " Using a challenge also means it would change you to better accomodate that challenge and there is no telling what kind of effect that will have on you "
' Although mom is such a cheater and switches that effect like an on/off switch as if that was supposed to be an option ' " We only have limited data on these types of situations on the effect that a challenge will have on a person "
Ceil then remembers some details about Ordo ' There is also the fact that Ordo didn't really learn anything from these challenges , unlike mom . ' Ceil recalls some of the info she got from her busted lore gatherer and Welt's attempts to salvage the memories on the demon realm .
" Even if we do create a very complex challenge to restrict certain actions , it wouldn't work on a transcendant like you Admin . And another problem we have in creating that challenge is that the one who centers their world around challenges is now gone "
Ceil also added to avoid suspicion " Although I only learned that after looking up your files " " The point is , we can't do it for you " Naul said , pushing Ceil aside and continued " That's why I hope you give a quick slash on that colossus I want you to kill "
" Is there really a need to do that ? I could also make the body easier to digest for the environment " ' Oh my god , I can't believe they're the type that jams all the process into one singular event '
Naul sighed " Maybe taking down the many colossi that somehow exist in our systems isn't productive enough " ' Especially with how destructive Ordo is , they're basically the incompetent ally that you'd trade for a competent enemy '
" I'll try to look up something else for you , admin " Ordo felt disappointed not being given something to do and Naul tries to comfort them " I'll find something , but Welt already has a list of things I need to do , so until then , just wait "
Before Ordo could protest , Naul disappeared and opened a portal for them to head back to the admin seat . Ordo sighed and sat down , looking at the empty screens that they never learned to turn on .
' Welt usually responds to my voice before , but after we got more and more worlds in , they've just been so busy ' Rein records the emotions that Ordo was feeling ' a lonely lover desperate for attention and not only that , because of the lie Welt told them , they are making their whole identity around being the main source of the system '
Rein thinks about it for a while ' Well then again I guess it could result into some desperate act ' Rein looks at her numbers and check the data on her gathering Ordo's behaviours ' I've been discarding most of the past playthrough memories because Welt says everyone always forgets about the previous playthroughs , but I've been connecting these behaviourial data from the past days but there are a lot of errors in here '
Rein wondered if her program was busted as she continued to construct proper profile data on Ordo . She has been keeping a lot of data gatherers around Ordo and it doesn't make sense ' I proposed to Welt about profile construction , but they just kept saying that Ordo has an unpredictable behaviour '
Ordo kept exhibiting behaviour that somehow didn't match Rein's prediction and she just couldn't help but feel like something was off ' I knew there was gonna be a lot of deviations but doing it so consistently makes me feel like I am not accounting for certain data . Didn't I already sneak in enough data gatherers on Ordo already ? '
She wondered if she should check on the past data about how long Ordo lived in the past and had already asked Welt about it " How long did Ordo live in Mir's world ? " " I'm not sure , I haven't checked for a while " ' I seriously need it , if I can figure out how long they live , like how many elixirs of life they consumed as mom did . I might figure out '
Rein thought to herself hoping she can have the answers ... She didn't ' they're even younger than mom actually is but this kind of consistent deviation from my prediction isn't something I can ignore ' Rein taps on the desk as she tries to think of a solution ' I can't find evidence that confirms the weird consistent deviation from my prediction ... maybe I should analyze the behaviour and work from there instead ? '
Rein recalls all her data gathering that she has on Ordo and thought of how pointless it likely is to use data of Ordo's life to predict their behaviour ' I'll still need more data , so I'll set it to only gather the resulting data and remove the software that tries to predict behaviour and check if that prediction was correct '
After turning off a few settings on her data gatherer programs and then taking the current results of Ordo's behaviour ' Welt says , if I want to search for dets about Ordo , I gotta do it in secret ' she covered her tracks and headed to where she had taken the files about Ordo .
She had to put it back after she started working or in her terms , playing around with Welt's systems . She prepares a basic search engine that can gather the memories that would influence the behaviour ' But first I got to play around with this search engine . I don't want to process data myself . First , I need the search engine to match the intelligence of a psychologist '
...
" Are you actually looking for places to send Ordo too ? " Ceil asked and Naul nodded " Someone who is this strong and willing to fight is not that easy to come by . I want to make use of them as much as I can "
" Like how you made many weapons of mass destruction ? " " Yep , but this one is amazing , it could easily destroy worlds without rest , but it's just so tame " Naul crept a smile as he imagined how many worlds he could have taken with Ordo in tow .
' Too bad Welt said , not to do it since they can hardly handle all the worlds here . Seriously , how incompetent is Ordo that you have to handle everything yourself as a system . Even the systems in our world would keep asking the admins to make a move , even if no users were using the account that took the admin seat '
" I hope you keep them under control , if you glorify Ordo's power , it will be bad if the people want to keep them around " " Oh that's fine we can just have Zaun use his technique on Ordo , he told me a few things when I asked him about what he thinks of Ordo's abilities and he said that Ordo's control over their body is very loose "
Ceil recalls what Zaun kept saying about how a soul can cling to their body ' Rein would say a soul's ability to cling to their own body is relevant to the emotions they feel , while Zaun says they stuck to the body depending on how much they invested their time into it in terms of training it or exercising their control over it . '
" What do you mean by that ? " " I've got some new data to observe and I found that clinging to an account means that you have spent a lot of time in that account . We don't have problems with leaving our account because we don't really get that attached to it . I learned it while playing around with that system that Mom got from those elves "
" Can you tell me more ? " " No and don't bother me I am still busy locating the areas and coming up with assignments to give to Ordo " ' really making use of his authority over Ordo as much as possible ' " where exactly do you get off developing another one's land " " I enjoy it because I see potential not being wasted and I don't like how Ordo is holding onto their position " Naul said .
" Didn't you have someone assassinated because they were better than you " " I would've kept them in power , but they were too focused on making the military stronger instead of more important sectors like development in peace " Naul said .
" Would've been useful if they were alive " " The soul is still intact and I make use of them as much as I could . It's like an AI that can produce perfect training or propaganda material to get increase soldier sign-ups and citizens' willingness to pay for war "
' That explains the internet access and many accounts made under his name ... Ugh , I don't like that memory ' " Ceil stop staying in the data banks " Yuni said " You're gonna miss all the things that happen to your family " those words were shooed away as Ceil thinks about the other times when she learned about the programs her siblings made .
" It's not like I'm not aware of the changes completely " " I know , but you can't be satisfied with that , I know I raised all of you to be independent , but I think I made you all too independent that you don't care about the memories that come when your siblings change "
Ceil stares at her mother in the memory and Yuni said " Oh wait , maybe Rein will say it better than I just did " ... Ceil snaps out of the memory episode and wonders if this has anything to do with Yuni .
She makes that realisation about what just happened to her , suddenly the lore gatherer cracked and a visual of Yuni appeared " Oh , Hey Ceil " Ceil was baffled to see her mother here , but upon further observation " An auto response system ? "
" Ding ding ding ding , You got it right . Now , why don't you figure out how it happened ? " Ceil looked at the lore gatherer , which was acting as a core " You sure changed your lore gatherers . Did you have to make more too ? "
" I had to so that the book can gather more accurate data " " Oh , that explains why I'm being projected through this " Ceil figured that the projection had a high self-awareness setting that made them so life-like ' but it's not alive '
" Anyways , I'm being projected because the original body has the intent to make you strong ... It's not great to be giving you answers straight up , but we don't know how much time we have " ' We ? '
Ceil checked her other lore gatherers to find them gone from where she stored them ... Zaun starts resting after Welt forced them to , but they still feel like they should do more ' Even though I can keep fighting , I'm not really growing stronger faster . I still don't understand how mom manages to give her body a break '
Zaun blinked and suddenly the whole world change " Oh , how kind of you to let me in " Zaun turned to see a figure of Yuni " Mom ? " Zaun tilted his head as an arrow passed him " No a projection ? " " You should really spend some time speaking with people " suddenly she pulls out a rail gun and fires at Zaun .
He jumped away and searched for his weapon as he heard some movement from Yuni " Looking for this " Zaun wondered if this was one of the challenges messing with him until Yuni said " No , it's not the challenges you have , but the challenges I had "
Zaun was suddenly confused , wondering how that was possible " Right , you don't touch grass as often as the others have " " What do you mean by that ? " Yuni sighed and said " I wonder what I did for you to turn up like this " Zaun was suddenly hit by some memories that don't usually surface and Yuni smiled as Zaun lost his confusion .
" Finally , get what you are doing right now ? " Zaun narrows his eyes , ready to fight as he sensed the rising tension " Yeah , that was a really old memory you made me surface , challenge Yuni " " What a lame nickname " ... Naul looked at the screen with a silly icon with Yuni's face that seemed to have been drawn by a professional design team to be marketed to children .
" What are you doing , you mom look-alike ? " The chibi icon snickered and told Naul " I know my golden pig is not going to enjoy fighting , but one thing I do know is that he loves apocalypse games " ' I shouldn't have let my game library open for mom to look . Now this fake clone of her has that information '
" So to train you , I am taking full advantage of that desire and I've generated a nightmare for you to enjoy , try not to ruin your social life in there , you know very well how important that is " Naul saw the screen flicker off and on and sensed his surroundings .
' It's delirium ' the screen flashed again , revealing a news channel " Seriously mom you are that uncreative ? "
[ Zombie virus ]
Naul couldn't accept the fact that the apocalypse was just a basic zombie virus , but that was until he heard the usual blaring sounds that would indicate a critical malfunction " Uh oh "

" Tsk " Naul knew what that meant for this world and what kind of lengths Yuni could go to change this world " For now , I gotta steal some supplies " ... Rein looked at her mother , who had many of her challenges on top of her , but it was made in a way that didn't completely cover Yuni .
Right now , her eyes are just white spheres , there is a cross drawn atop her mouth , chains wrapped around her limbs , not keeping her from moving , but weighing on her ' Wait , why is it changing ? I haven't even finished admiring the design yet ' Yuni had changed to another set of challenges with cosmetics still active .
" Hey , yo kid " Rein cringed at how Yuni talked " Why are you saying something so modern with a cultural getup " Yuni was wearing a very fat gown that seemed so impractical to move in , but so fashionable " Because I gotta train you , tell you what my kids have so many desires and despite being so independent you still let mother in "
Rein didn't blush in embarassment but screamed at Yuni with rage " FIRST OFF , I HAVE EVEN MORE DESIRES , I WANT TO SEE ALL MY FAVORITE COUPLES , TROUPLES AND HAREMS DEVELOP . Second , it's because this was your problem that I'm letting you in because you should take responsibility for getting us caught in this mess "
" Woah , that does make sense , you are good at reading yourself like a book " Rein smirked " Obviously , I gotta have that or I'll catch myself reading the same kind of love relationship again and again "
Yuni swapped her challenges again , changing her look " Oh what now , you're an elf ? Weren't you a cat beastkin ? Why are you now looking elegantly " " Because I gotta jog your memory , the me outside doesn't know much about Ordo , but this one does "
Yuni pointed at herself " Still that Ordo has some strange abilities , the mismatched magic circle seems to be just one of them . I think I saw a lot of skills that Ordo has and among them was a fusion skill , which needs another skill to break down each skill for fusion . They have no training or creativity , I tell yah "
Yuni then turned to Rein while turning back to her original looks as a cat beastkin " So be a dear and fight ernestly " Rein dodged a hidden slash and said " Don't say dear while looking like a kid and animal " Rein said with much killing intent to her mother .66Please respect copyright.PENANA5m4W3oXaui
