" Maybe you should stop , the kids are not handling the information well " Yuni looked at the systems glitching as they tried to digest the information they were consuming .
" Isn't that because you are allowing them access to my memories and adding a duplicating program to it ? " " I know , but I didn't think your memories were that detailed that our kids would have trouble consuming it "
Yuni wondered what she could do instead and suggested " Why not turn it off ? " " The kids want to learn more about your story and these kids are systems that consume and generate memory-related resources . Prite , on the other hand , consumes memories to build titles and names that strengthen anyone who claims it "
Yuni thought of some legends and remembered " You mean like the Fairies " " You're thinking something else , but yeah . Although when Prite claims a name , it takes a while to take the power and achievement away along with the memories linked to it . "
" Is that related to how there are demons that take other people's soul ? " " Probably , a lot of the kids we have from the demon realm So their system resource is very linked to the demon realm's culture that strives for difficulty and war "
" Oh yeah , so should I just do something else instead ? " " Yeah sure , how about checking on the challenge that is clinging to your storybook ? I found out that there was some connection and cut it off immediately "
" Oh , that was probably my kid . I was just messing with her " Mir wondered if Yuni enjoyed ragebaiting her own children for her own amusement " It might be a problem now that you told me that's the source of the connection . I must've been too focused on my own work to care "
Yuni was about to ask a question about why Mir was worrying until she sensed their thoughts " Oh no , is that what happened ? " " Yep , you had too many challenges and once you released it , it kinda spread out . And considering your character , you likely changed it with your desire "
" Oh , I did ? I haven't done that in a while . What do you think it became ? " " Depends on what you felt since this book is connected to you . But you can ask them when we get to them later "
...
The four kids meet up in Zaun's training place a grim and tired expression as their bodies were sore from the training and so where their mental state " How are we this tired " Zaun asked as Rein just said " I have no idea , there are too many challenges supporting that projection of hers to come to us , how did she even get to us ? " Rein asked and Ceil showed the book .
" Through the lore gatherers ... I checked . I found a lot of evidence that the challenges have been present for a long time , but only now did mom's own intention reprogram it to train us "
Ceil said and pulled out a long list of words " That's a lot of challenges " Zaun said " According to what Mom says , she did this so she can train us " Naul said " Yeah , she made me do the same thing " Ceil said and they wondered what kind of training she had considering her frequent desire to avoid wars .
" And what exactly is the same ? I had to deal with an apocalypse and fight people who kept hoarding supplies after a warning came " Naul said and Zaun said " Mom fights me sometimes , but she forces me to take a break , except I keep feeling like she was around "
" Mom kept taunting me and forced me into some nightmare that merged different looks together . It was a horror show of crazy " They turned to Ceil and she said " She made me fight , but every time I fight her and win against her , everything just change "
' So basically mom just got lazy ' Rein thought " Yeah , now can we talk about what mom said ? " They all remembered what they were told at the end of their training session " Yeah , she told me to look for you guys "
" She said the same to me " they all gave the same experience with their mother's copy and only Rein was bothered , while the rest imagined it as a prank and when delirium delivered her to the copy .
" Are you gonna overanalyze again ? " " Yes , because if this is one of your pranks , I can get mad at you " the copy looked at her blankly as if to give her some space to think of what she just said .
" Why are you just looking at me ? ... Giving me time to reflect , huh , this was what I usually do to think my actions thoroughly and others too ... " the copy gave her a condescending smile and all Rein could think was rage after she came to her own conclusion .
" Oh good , you're ready to train "
...
Naul fiddled with the aliens tech , recognizing that their tech had salvaged code from a world system and allowing them to do things systems would do , like tampering with abstract concepts .
" These goddamn aliens are so annoying " The screen suddenly showed an icon of Yuni " Having fun kid " " This is not having fun , hearing them repeat the same monologue like viewing the original inhabitants as fleas , insects . Can't you be more creative ? Or did you set these aliens to just be as destructive and not constructive to piss me off "
The icon switched emojis to react to Naul's comments while also getting him more and more enraged " It was something I had to make so that you don't try to cooperate with them in taking over the planet . I also had to do the same for the rest of them . Although it is possible to complete take over the planet , cooperation with those who are currently doing it isn't possible "
Naul wondered if this was meant to condition him into fighting against Ordo without caring or thinking about cooperation with the admin " Is this because I let a lot of traitors in ? I did it on purpose because Zaun wanted a desperate fight "
" Oh no , it's not really about that problem of yours , I just have them destructive because I knew it would piss you off . But do think about it a bit more , who knows , maybe I found a system that does separate the destructive personality and the constructive personality "
Naul finished hacking the alien's system and said " What is that system called ? Peace and War ? " " Maybe , but I'm making sure you have some motivation . Whether that system is real or not , it's up to you to believe and who knows , maybe I do know about a system like it or I made it up . "
Naul entered himself as the admin of the mothership of the aliens and said " It doesn't matter if it's real or not , I don't want it " the icon showed a surprised expression as Naul continued " Only knowing peace makes you weak and only knowing war makes you a savage "
...
Zaun lay on a beach chair while he saw a beach full of dead sea monsters bleeding out as some fish were eating the corpses after following the blood . Yuni came with some refreshments and told Zaun " So this is a bit of an overdue lesson . I planned to teach you about relaxing so that you can rest your body , but I never had the chance "
He couldn't move due to the restraints placed on him that stopped his body from doing anything " Sloth , a challenge that forces you into a state of laziness , which means you seek pleasure that comes instantly . I had that challenge on me and thanks to Delirium keeping my toes up , Sloth was stopped by consistently making me work to avoid rotting . But I did learn something there that can be implemented in this lesson "
" Is it to force me to relax " " That too , but I was also able to revisit some of my old skills , precisely the resting skills . Thanks to having to go to sleep to reach Delirium , Sloth was able to influence me , but I learned to handle it . So be a dear and go to sleep "
" I'm in a dream no ? " the beach suddenly disappeared and left Zaun staring at the sky " You've been awake the whole time , Zaun and your mind really needs to rest " Zaun turned to Yuni and asked " Did I hallucinate that ? "
" I don't know , I just know you are so on edge you are constantly conscious in a way . I don't want to make my kid so battle-ready that he even forces his body to refuse to sleep . I guess you're quite fine since you're strong , but you never let your body keep up . It's like that function called autophagy , where your cells decide to eat bad ones because they are not getting a steady stream of food . Although I think rest is much more than just that body maintenance function "
" Because I want to get strong just as much as that body wants to store fat " Yuni pinched Zaun's face and said " Your mother had lived for a long , long time . You don't get to try to surpass her in four years . So I'll teach you how to sleep and rest so that your body can fix the damage while you sleep . "
Zaun couldn't do anything but listen since Sloth had taken over his mind too and was flooding it with thoughts of doing nothing and becoming nothing more than a passive receiver of information ... " You got it ? "
Zaun snores peacefully as his body starts to fix itself and dispose of unwanted germs and bacteria as steam by burning them away " Oh , who knew this place isn't that sanitary , but it works to the benefit of the lesson . Now Zaun will at least consider sleeping if he knows more about the benefits "
Out of Zaun's body , there was even more poison coming out as smoke and it was starting to pollute the area he was sleeping in .
...
Ceil fights Yuni as they parried a flurry of attacks with a very soulless look in her eyes " Damn , I wanted to train you , but do I really have to tell you a bedtime story ? " " No "
Every time Yuni fights , her fighting style suddenly changes , ruining her immersion as the changes come with inconsistent timeframes " Come on , this is so confusing " " That's good , I don't want you to stay fixated on one thing . It's good for exploring worlds but not when your opponent can suddenly change tactics "
Yuni changed her attacks , attacking with claws " Then hallucinate , you were always so interested in storybooks when you were young , imagining what the story is like , but you never really liked normal things like coloring books . And don't you think you want me to get off your back ? " Ceil thought of how Yuni tells all of them to meet up .
" Oh , there it is " Ceil fired a massive attack as Yuni was killed , only for another one to appear " You made us meet up so that we can figure out how you appeared ? " " And so that you'll be more motivated , but here's a hint ... I won't tell you anything . Or basically , figure it out "
Ceil wakes up and then calls her siblings " So you want to figure out why Mom is appearing in our heads and as hallucination ? " Zaun asked " Isn't she just doing it to train us and piss us off as a bonus ? " Naul said .
" No ... knowing mom , she probably has more things she wants to do and if you looked at the code that mom was made of , it was clearly driven by desire . So we really have to delve really deep into it " Rein mentioned and started listing possible reasons .
" What is this ? " Naul asked and recognized the list " Wait , isn't this a mother's reason for her behaviour with her child ? " Naul asked " I couldn't think of anything deep enough , so I just used what mom would do as a mom "
" Spoiling , fattening the child for dinner !? Did you get this from one of those dystopian worlds or an animal behaviour documentary ? " Ceil asked " Then you try to think of a reason , I have data gatherers for all her life and she displayed little mom behaviours . Some of these even come from master-disciple relationships and anything that links to being a parent " Ceil complained as they started to criticize each other's methods .
Zaun was looking at the list while Naul joined in the fight ' Protection ? ' he clicked on the word and read the details about it ' That does sound like it ' " OKAY STOP " Naul yelled " We are going nowhere with this . How about we just figure out what mom is making us do ? "
" Well , clearly she is training us " " She was teaching me how to sleep " the three looked at Zaun , flabbergasted " Elaborate " " She said I needed to let my body catch up and forced it onto so I did "
" So in the end it's still part of training " " She was talking to me too about how she made the threats to end the world more destructive , so I don't try to cooperate with them and just beat them up " Naul said and Rein retorted with an agreement to her mother's desire .
" That's good , do you have any idea how many traitors you let into the systems , they almost destroyed my profile libraries " Naul thought of the systems and thought ' There might be one system that might eat those profile libraries with mom , but we should focus on this matter first '
" Then maybe she wants to teach us something , Rein , you know a lot about yourself " " Just because I do doesn't mean I know mom knows what I know about myself " Rein said and thought of her dream .
" She made me overanalyze myself to motivate me to train , she probably did the same to force you to fight instead of negotiate " Rein told Naul and Ceil thought " Are you saying that she is doing the same thing to me ? thought that could explain the plain terrain and the sudden changes in her fighting style "
Naul took a deep breathe " I do not like Mom's lessons " he said " You think you're the only one ? " The girls said and Naul thought " Screw figuring out why Mom is doing this or that , I'm just going to force all those world-ending threats into submission " Naul left , while the two also wanted to screw over their mother's plans .
" I'm thinking the same " Rein said while Ceil wondered what she could do to mess up her mother's plan as she felt the challenge Nostalgia hit her as she recalled her fight with Yuni " You never really liked normal things like coloring books " ' Right coloring , maybe I'll try that '
...
Yuni shifted her attack methods into a flat blade style and the environment changed " Wow what is this Wuxia style world " Ceil smirked at Yuni " I'm just very glad I get to make use of what I learned from the other worlds "
Ceil said and Yuni made a smile " Your mother would be so proud of you " she switched fighting styles and Ceil changed the scenery " A forest " a green light arrow was shot at Ceil as Yuni backed away , changing her bow into an energy gun and then the scenery changed again as bright electronic billboards polluted the sky with light .
Ceil summoned hexagonal-shaped shields , matching her angelic powers with the cyberpunk genre of the environment . Ceil drew out more of her powers and Yuni changed fighting styles as Ceil adapted the environment to suit it .
Yuni suddenly changed her style again , causing her to land a hit as Ceil staggered away " What ? " Yuni swings a massive Swiss Army knife as the scenery was glitching between various looks from the weapons that were included in the multiweapon .
" You know I liked that game Rein introduced to me where they shift between fantasy and sci-fi " Ceil heals herself while Yuni continues to rant " I liked the last part where the whole world was starting to break as the two readers who were interested in their respective genres had to fight a god who was planning to separate the worlds permanently "
The scene suddenly changed and Ceil felt her control over the scenery's aesthetics loosen " Let me show you what your mother has seen " Ceil saw the familiar building where her mother was born in " What is this ? " " Oh , just something to remind me what this world really is before I start bringing things in "
Ceil looks at the night sky as one star flickers into a brighter radiance and zips through the sky " You want to bring all the worlds together ? " " Yeah , been a dream of mine , but I need the worlds to be strong first , so they don't get beaten up by stronger ones with higher world level . Or at least that's what your mother wants "
' Reminding me that they're not mom , huh ? I guess it's also to stop me from getting mad at mom later too ' the star opened the sky to many worlds as Yuni picked a blade from the Swiss Army knife and transformed it .
The surroundings turned into a garbage heap while the skies showed the different skies of the other worlds . Some had flying aircraft that transforms into gryphons as they crossed the world borders . Yuni swung a polearm attached to a sawblade " Let's continue this lesson "
...
Naul sat down as many of the world-ending threats stopped their activity " What a record " Naul looked at Yuni as her figure appeared " I can't believe you conquered it within another dream's time "
" Yeah and you know what , you are right , it felt good to control them " " The goal was supposed to make you fight , but you outdone yourself " Naul heaves a sigh of relief " But now that you got those weaklings away , time for a fight between you and me"
Naul was surprised to hear that as the spaceship transformed into the peak of the mountain and the sound of wind took over , followed by the roars of the wildlife beneath the mountain peak " What ? "
Naul saw Yuni as her current cat beastkin character " You always like worlds that have yet to develop a civilization no ? " Yuni showed her strength as she struck her palm with her fist , shaking the air just from the sound produced from her strike .
" And I had noticed that you have hardly gotten stronger like Zaun . Maybe it's my bias about you being a young boy , but you really shouldn't be lazing around and managing others . Sure , it could be useful in a peaceful world . But as I said , we may have to fight battles and your family won't be around all the time . "
Naul prepares for battle as Yuni stomps the ground , causing the peak to collapse and dropping them to opposite sides of the peak . Naul takes that chance and runs away " FCKFCKFCKFCKFCK " ' I don't have any weapons ' " At least let me prepare " " I won't give you the time , so buy time to figure it out . "
...
Rein was having a similar problem with Yuni , who kept dropping fake openings , fakes and messing up her predictions " Oh my god , I hate this fight !!! " " If you keep expecting the expected , I will know what to do if I want to fight you and that Ordo has already shown unexpected behavior not just in attacks but also in their personal analysis no ? "
Rein attacked once to cause Yuni to dodge , only for her prediction to be wrong again as her second attack merely grazed her and the third missed completely " What's wrong with trying to predict ? You taught me I had to know the enemy and then I did , I even went the extra steps to know myself "
" Psychologically , but not in battle , I can tell you were ready for a feint , so I just knew what to do next . " " But I knew that you knew " Yuni interrupted Rein saying " I am not going to play that game of who knew . My point is , you are so predictable because you made the assumption earlier . How about instead of assuming , you just react "
" So , be like Zaun , are you giving him a lesson by talking to people ? He seems to ask questions after the fight " Yuni smiled as they changed their outfit " Not gonna tell you , but what I am going to do is . Make everyone of my attack RNG . "
Zaun was also experiencing the same thing as Yuni sets up more and more machines that spit random attacks . Each had a different type of projectile and somehow moved slowly while ignoring gravity .
" What kind of attacks are these " " I'm pretty sure Rein would say what gameplay is this " " I don't spend a lot of time looking at the media she ... consumes " " At least you picked up some words from her "
Zaun sensed an attack as he moved away , navigating through the slow-moving barrage of attacks as a massive beam fired , clearing the field of the attacks . Zaun went to the cleared field and Yuni jumped with a massive spear .
Zaun backed away as she struck the ground " What's the point of the barrage of attacks if you were going to settle with this kind of training anyways ? " " No reason , I just want a break . I gotta say Zaun , you are the easiest to train because you are only interested in power . While you certainly wouldn't thrive in a peaceful world that Naul dreams of , you sure as heck can put up a fight when he brings trouble "
...
Yuni scratched her ear and sneezed " Are you sick ? " " No , just some dust got in my body also . Are you done with that ? It's getting really boring here , I'm sure my kids would get more action if they were having problems with that thing you discovered a while ago . "
Mir checked on Yuni's condition and said " This is bad , you are losing your sense of time " " Why would it be a problem ? " " Because it means you are degrading " " How ? " Mir looks at Yuni's state and said .
" How often do you get to do nothing ? " " Not that much , but whenever I do , it's pretty relaxing . I get to think about my adventure , like that witch that seems to be in cahoots with Welt . I wonder what her deal is . "
Mir wonders what Yuni was really doing as she continues to just stay still " Maybe you want to do something " " I do , I did a lot of work actually . I fixed a few bugs in the systems that popped up , I handled the world's relations with each other and I did some reading or listening while training , but there's been nothing that really needs my full attention "
' She must be bored . Is this what a powerful admin is like ? ' " You should get to know people who are much stronger " " I know , I have a few ideas on where to go , like outside the world I know . I remember arriving outside my world before I was an admin . They were amazing civilizations there and it seems like they don't have any systems with them . "
" What happened to you when you left your world ? " " I introduced them to the very mysterious magic that I learned and that time I didn't know the magic was actually system code " " And then ? " " They went crazy trying to understand it and died "
" I won't disagree that trying to understand a system's code can drive people mad " " It does ? " Yuni said with a lot of surprise " YES , did you actually think it was that easy ? But then again , you do have a lot of talent "
" Wow , I thought you just get lucky and those guys just weren't " " That highly depends on whether the system wants to be understood or not . There are a lot of programs that the civilization made to be hostile since someone was inspired to do so because they had literature about beings beyond comprehension "
" Then why would the system code want to avoid being discovered by the aliens " Mir looked at the code Yuni had showed and said " Well it's not like you had a choice , you entered a massive code into their spaceship and overloaded not just the circuitry of the ship but also their minds . "
" Why their minds ? " " Because you made a self-preserving program and the program couldn't fit on the spaceship's circuitry , so they just took on the organic material that can carry information , which just so happens to be the brain "
" Oh well , I guess the admins are different ? " " This is gonna be a long explanation "64Please respect copyright.PENANA6R3PoMMnaZ
