" Admins are difficult to nurture . You are a very rare case because of all that talent you stole . I even have a century admin plan for Ordo so that I could teach them the basics of coding a system so they can control their desire and stop it from corrupting my code "
Yuni looked at the very detailed plan and the first part was " Get eternal life " " Oh yeah , I need them to be alive for a long time , but there are a lot of problems about that , mainly if they can handle living for that long . "
" Oh , I did the same thing for myself . And the four managers seemed mentally stable " Yuni said " I guess the birthworld system had planned to make the four into their admin , but they couldn't nurture them properly "
Yuni looked at the other list " Be in the same mind ... I don't think , I have a similar mind with the systems " " Maybe for you they exempted it because being in the same mind means any change in code due to desire would be damaging unless it aligns with the system , but since you were already coding and keeping yourself from corrupting the code it doesn't matter as much . "
Mir then looked at the instances of Yuni learning to code in the system's knowledge " Or rather , you had the chance to know the code of the system before you became an admin ... there really is a lot I have to learn when it comes to you "
" I don't think it's just me , there is no officially published rulebook on how to raise admins who can code properly since systems just got a mind of their own like yours " " I can't disagree with that , is this what the first lifeform feels ? They came a long way to be able to build a civilization ... Hey , you haven't finished that story about the aliens yet "
" Then continuing from after they went mad . Their bodies fully integrated into the spaceship's circuitry " " Oh " the twist was completely unexpected " Wow , so that's what happens when you don't use a proper physical material for system code "
" After that , I basically have the ship for myself and held a bodiless funeral because that was a horrible way to go " Yuni said " Oh I would think the same if I saw this scene " " I would still like to see it again , I missed some details because I saw a bunch of code leaking out but never figured it out "
" Your brain funeral " " I've seen much worse " " Yeah , but you forgot those worse things and this is one of the memories that has many screws loose " Mir said while looking at the images of the deaths that occured from going mad with the system code force into their brains .
" And you don't really have the talent as before to handle the experience " " Don't worry , I have gone through all the worlds and I even finished your challenges " " Yeah , but you're an infant at best when it comes to experience . "
Mir searched for something while Yuni wondered if they were going to continue their work and they showed Yuni a picture of a horrifying monster . Yuni's heart throbbed hard out of fear as she recalled details about the monster .
" ... What's this ? " " The collector " Yuni smiled as her heart calmed down " Oh I see what you mean by that , that was probably the same kind of fear I felt when I realized it why the collector was buying kids " Mir suddenly saw Yuni's mental fortitude increase .
" Hmm , maybe you will be fine " " How so ? " Yuni said as she calms her heart down " It hurt you , but it sure as heck didn't kill you , so you gotta just keep holding on . You might have trouble because now you don't have the bonus of that talent potion "
Mir looks at the resulting account that they've built and said " And it seems like you really have a lot of talent that you have to loss that isn't yours "
...
Ordo fidgets as they try to look for work they can do . They have been moving from place to place , sometimes killing massive beasts cleanly and quickly so the soul can be harvested , while they had to leave handling the processing of the corpse to nature .
Which had not only reduced their work but also their reward ' It's not enough ' they looked at the reward they had , while Naul checks how many reward points Ordo made from participating and accepting the rewards .
" Is there more ? " ' Seriously , they don't even want to read , is Ordo illiterate ? ' " No , as of the moment you worked through so many requests at once , but you know what you did " " I want more " Ordo interrupted and Naul popped a vein but held his anger back .
' How many times have they interrupted me by saying they want more ' " I'll keep searching , although it might take much longer since you completed most of the quest " Ordo sat on the admin chair as Welt moved away , sensing strong emotion .
' I need to make more points , but Naul is too slow finding me opportunities . ' Ordo fidgets and Welt was also feeling at as Ordo's desire for a solution was affecting their code . The change was painful for a system who already experienced it before .
" Rein , is there perhaps a way for you to interfere with this for me " Welt asked while keeping themselves from revealing their struggle and showed Ordo on a screen as it glitches " They're corrupting the code ? " " I don't want them to find out about the power they have "
Rein understood this type of relationship instantly and figured out a solution for it ' I know I said I wasn't going to predict his behaviour , but that search engine has been running for a while . I'm sure my program has enough data to predict it '
" I need to get a program to help me first " ' I have been too busy trying to figure out ways to beat mom for a while , so I didn't have time to check ' Welt helps Rein get the program as they feel their code being corrupted by Ordo's desires .
Rein equips the program without looking into it in detail as she went to Ordo with Welt's advice in mind " It's best if Ordo thinks of it as a gift from me , I can't do it myself because they will notice the damage done on me and I don't want them to know that kind of power , they are already too strong and anymore they won't be satisfied "
Rein knocks on the wall to get Ordo's attention as she sensed the change stop and start putting the finishing touches " Admin , Welt has noticed that you have been feeling down and asks me to give you something "
She pointed at the screen as a sphere with a needle appeared " It's a compass that can lead you to treasure , Whatever you find is dependent on your luck , so try to use it in any place you are feeling lucky " Ordo takes it , without much response and disappeared with a skill .
' They're gone ... As expected , a person who makes that lie their entire identity is bound to be like that , especially when that lie is further supported by liars around ' Rein wondered if she even needed her program and checked the data it had been researching .
" Huh , that's weird ? " Rein was confused about the program's result as it was conflicting with her past understanding of Ordo " This doesn't look right " a hallucination of Yuni appeared as she looked at the data .
" Oh , that's trouble for sure if that was true " Yuni said and Rein thought ' Did she choose the right time to appear and mess with me ? ' " Don't you think you should train harder now ? " Rein was thinking the same and started crunching the data so she could better predict Ordo's moves .
While doing that , she was also confirming if the truth she learned was true or not , as she knew that the morale of Welt would be affected if they learned this truth while they were repairing damages from their body ' I didn't even know a system could be mentally harmed like that '
" Of course they can feel pain , ours just don't feel anything at all " Yuni said " I know that , you don't have to tell me , but can you tell me how long you are planning to stay in my head ? " Yuni thought for a while and said .
" Do you know secure attachment theory ? " Rein gave Yuni a very disgusted look " A mother like you doesn't get to talk about something like that " " Come on , if your mother weren't like this , you would be more mindful of others and respect them too much , you wouldn't see the other aspects of their behaviour "
Rein thinks that Yuni wasn't wrong because she knew if Yuni had cuddled them like normal kids , they would have turned up differently " I am more focused on the aspect of internalising your parents "
Rein recalls the theory and said " Is that a hint on how I can get rid of you ? " Rein asked and Yuni smirked " Dang it , I really don't want to hear any of your advice " Rein said as Yuni let her figure it out .
" Fine , I'll do the internalize mother part , so get to it " Rein yelled at Yuni as she smiled .
...
Mir checked Yuni's condition " It's deteriorating fast " " Ehh really ? " Yuni asked as she was continuing to feel like a potato " It's so hard to describe what I'm feeling right now , Maybe I should rest too "
" That rest might become your last though " Mir starts checking the condition of the Extra character Yuni " Alright , let's use that alien spaceship of yours to go back and ask Welt for the rest of your memories after all , it would be bad if you didn't know the full story "
" Oh , I think I know what to call myself , A baby . My mind is regressing to a baby " " Which is actually perfect , isn't it ? " Yuni didn't think her responses through as she degrades or regresses . Meanwhile, Mir looks into Yuni's state and finds something foreign " Wait " they analyze the foreign thing affecting Yuni " This might be a code that regresses the world that you absorb unconsciously "
" How is that possible ? " Mir thinks of possible ways it came in " It's very possible , like how air disperses to outer space . Code does the same thing like the aliens that went mad learning about the code and considering how much you were actually forgetting during your challenges , it might've sneaked in to the space inside you "
" Wow , major plot hole , you know " " I know a story doesn't make sense if it drops something like that , but it's not like you can make sense of the system code that easily . It's beyond normal reasoning and you can't expect everything . And from the looks of it , you are regressing because the code finds it suitable for you, since you are forgetting too much . "
" Oh , I get it , if my mind has too much space , the memory might degrade ? " " That and it would be cheaper for your body to adapt a younger state of mind because you don't have a lot of memories "
" Oh wow , I wonder what medical condition this would be " Yuni said nonchalantly " I wish you would worry a little " " Why would I ? I know you know a way to solve it , Didn't you say it was good or perfect "
Mir heaved a sigh to express their stress " Yes , I do have a solution , so why don't you take a long nap while I handle the rest " the fake Yuni was almost complete , so Mir started to mess with the program as it slowly loosened because Yuni was regressing to something less recognizable to the system that attached itself into .
' We're almost done with the clone , so I just have to prepare her to lose that system ' " Mom are we almost done ? " the systems asked as they finished another account " Yep we are almost there "
' I wonder how I should talk to Welt . I only had one long interaction in the many regressions that Welt put me through , so I don't know how to talk them into giving me the rest of Yuni's memories '
...
Rein wondered how she could phrase what she learned to her siblings and knowing Zaun , he would be excited , while the other two would immediately change their plans ' But Welt is the most unstable , I don't think it would even matter if I had phrased it in another way . They worked too hard and too long getting rid of Ordo '
Rein took a deep breath and first visited Zaun , telling him the news as the thought of fighting Ordo sooner excited him ' As expected ' " I will go train even harder . I'll keep it a secret " " I know " ' Now onto the other two '
After telling them the gist and giving them the data to look into , Rein's prediction was right again as both of them started discussing what changes they had to put in their plan " So I still got it and it's just that Ordo that's the problem . But if I had realized this sooner , I probably would've updated the profile , so this wrong prediction doesn't count "
Now comes the hardest part , which was telling Welt , Rein took a deep breath , thinking to herself ' This is the first time I ever had to talk to someone who is like mom , so I should break the news slowly ' And slowly she did as she accompanied Welt for a while as she broke little bits of evidence to back the truth .
" Are you trying to say something ? " Welt asked after hearing a good amount of Ordo's behavioural data " It's something I should lightly explain to you , we still have time , but eventually Ordo might slip up soon and you would have to tell them . What's more , I don't think that reset button is going to work . If anything , it might be because you made the regressors that some gaps were showing themselves the more you use it "
Rein could feel the code start to crack a little , showing Welt's anxiousness over what they thought Rein was going to say " You already showed the evidences , just tell me " Rein took a deep breath again and said .
" Ordo stopped regressing a few playthroughs after the first one . "
...
Ordo follows the compass as they passed through bridges between systems ' Come on , show up ' their desire for a result starts to influence the code , the world systems began glitching and needed repair .
Naul was handling the damage control while complaining as actively as Ordo was following the compass " YOU GODDAMN BLIND ADMIN , YOU INCOMPETENT LITTLE PIECE OF " " Naul , I need you to prepare something " Welt said and produced a list of items .
" WOWOWOWOW , what are we doing preparing for war ? " Naul senses a sense of defeat from Welt " Wait , we can still do something about that . Ordo doesn't know why you are doing the regression and you have managed to hide it well no ? "
" I know , but I had one too many slip-ups already " Welt didn't know how to express sorrow at all as the code glitches and breaks down ' REIN , WHY COULDN'T YOU KEEP THIS A SECRET ? ' Naul tries to understand Rein's reasoning and recalls how she complains about people lying to each other , which ruins their relationship .
" What about mom ? " Naul couldn't believe that he was actually going to put all his hope in his mother , who constantly avoids getting involved , so they could make a journey of their own efforts .
" She's too far away ... But she is pretty amazing you are even asking her for help " " Yeah cause you're giving up . Come on , maybe we can have Rein figure out why Ordo hasn't done anything to you at all . In fact , I think Ordo is completely ignorant of the structure of the system , so please don't give up "
Naul said , as his eyes pleaded , that Welt the system to avoid despairing or it may break all of the code . Welt recovered the code they broke and said " Alright , I will keep trying " Naul heaved a long sigh of relief .
" Okay , I'll call my sisters and if all comes to worst , we'll just leave it to Zaun to stall for time . do you think , you can let us check the regression power . We might be able to fix it up a bit and regress Ordo , although it might require more power , considering we don't know how far back we need to send them yet "
' He really is like his mother ' " Alright , I'll give you access " at first , Naul was glad that Welt intended to progress even more , trying to get rid of Ordo . But another thought crossed his mind ' I can finally see the power that turns time back . '
He quickly entered the room and marveled at the strange , empty hourglass that was massive in size and many separate hourglasses that seemed to have gathered some dust on top " The Hourglass is just an aesthetic I made up because I want to be reminded of who gave me this power "
Welt removed the hourglass filter and several lines of code were shown " I received help converting the power into code and then into a program for my desired needs to create as many regressors as possible . "
Naul starts scrolling it " I can see why this is a problem " ' I really don't like regression as some characters' tool . They never learn and it destroys any kind of development for the future . Sure , you can make a better future , but it's really like a reader-insert fanfiction story that isn't fanfiction '
Welt saw how immersed Naul was and didn't disturb him . While the three others entered the room " Wow " Ceil starts drawing horuglasses and sending lore gatherers to make sense of the past .
Rein went to the smaller hourglasses and opened the code programs while also checking the profile of each regressors . Zaun , on the other hand , didn't really care at all and found the regression hourglass useless after it already proved ineffective against Ordo , who somehow has all of their memories intact .
But they were still not sure if the same applied to skills . After some time observing the regression hourglasses , Naul came up with a plan " So Ordo not only has retained their knowledge but likely skills too " Ceil first said while Naul confirmed it .
" Also , it's not that the hourglass has a flaw or anything , but due to its nature as a program , Ordo was able to influence it by just thinking of the right desires . However , Ordo still doesn't know why Welt is turning back time or understand the code that makes the systems and they are trying to bring themselves closer to Welt as time passes . "
They all looked at Rein " Fine , here's the data " Rein projected a screen showing the personality summary " Ordo is still the same , wanting to be rewarded for their efforts and even greedier than Naul over here "
Naul wanted to retort , but the mood was already set , so he held back " Thanks to that , I'm expecting that Ordo is anticipating a reward that they can't seem to get , no matter what . We could say that it was a surprise and keep them from interfering , but this admin doesn't have any self-restraint . Considering how they frequently leave the world and search for treasures , it's best to assume we keep the current act going , but proceed with the understanding that Ordo can influence the code "
" Why not just include him in the hourglass in its purer form ? " Zaun asked and Welt commented " It's not possible , the reason the regression hourglass was turned into a program is that the hourglass is not usable to me in its base form . "
Zaun wondered if there was a possibility of him controlling the power and Ceil supported it " We could try , but only as a backup . Zaun , I'm sure you want to be part of it , so how about you help me out "
Ceil said it without showing any hesitation and Zaun nodded " Alright , I'll try to pseudo hourglass to see if you can control it easily . If you can , we'll use that to regress Ordo , but you will have to hold on to it for a long time since Ordo hasn't experienced regression for a long time "
" So we can handle Ordo and we have a plan to solve their unregressed mind , world system ? " Welt thought about it for a while " I think I can support making the pseudo hourglass for you Ceil , I had been duplicating the program for many worlds already . "
" Great , now that the hourglass is put away , can we also talk about how some of the regressors are useless " Rein said " If you exclude them , it could cause some dissatisfaction with the other regressors , It's best we keep it as it is and have Naul manage them "
Naul didn't like the extra load " Convey your suggestions through me , they will listen more to me as I've been with them for a long while and I do have to apologize for abusing their time too much " Welt said .
...
" You know , I can imagine my girls being the sensory function of a body since they always gather information and tend not to interfere with it . Meanwhile , my boys are the motor function because they participated in the worlds , One keeps fighting and the other keeps developing " Yuni said while Mir checked the regression progress .
" Four years slowly disappearing , looks like you still have a long life ahead of you until you completely become a baby . Hopefully it times perfectly with the acquisition of your complete memories " Mir said and asked .
" How are you adjusting to this ? " " Hoho , quite well actually , do you think you can include my memories in that memory log . I do not want to miss this experience " Yuni said " Adjusting too well , how do you make any form of progression make sense just by adapting to it , even if that progression is going backwards "
" Mom , we finished the another one " the systems said and Yuni laughed " Oh ho , what cute kids you all are " Yuni said as she embraced their physical forms " Oh , I should probably have sent you guys into a school or something , I heard that you normally get them into an official school at like age 2 or something ? I don't know , my mind is shrinking and I am starting to forget about the text information ... I think "
" Uncertainty , clearly a sign of memory deteriorating , although considering the symptoms of dementia . Your memory regressions seem to be more orderly than the medical condition " Mir said " Ehe , you think "
" You still have many life experiences before you had those four kids and strangely you can still remember our current kids and understand the situation " " Well it's kinda like Sloth , as long as I stay conscious , I can feel like time is moving forward , but if I fall asleep , I would wake up like it was yesterday " Yuni said .
" You fell asleep once and you already got that ? " " I'm quite imaginative even before I drank that potion ... speaking of , I might suddenly change once I reach the age where I nearly became an ingredient , so get ready to see your mom in the mental state of a six-year-old and under " Yuni joked , but for Mir , it wasn't exactly a time to be humorous .
Mir wondered how long this regression would last " I guess it's also possible to freeze you before you are unborn or whatever the right term is " " Oh , I'm sure I'll be fine , you can just pull the switch on the regression code . Though you might want to figure it out too "
Mir took a while to understand what Yuni just said and immediately asked " Wait , this thing has a switch ? " " Yup , that's right , but I don't think I'll be able to say everything about it word-for-word . But that reference screen of yours could work . Or was it called something else ? I don't know , most of the less relevant details start to slip from my mind , like whether I locked the door to my room or car ? Did I have a car ? "
Yuni was feeling more and more of the effects of the regression code reversing her mental age and memories " I'll handle it , I'm a little glad it has yet to affect your body yet ... Wait , then is it only your mind that is regressing ? " " Possibly , I thought it was weird that we talked about freezing it before I was unborn ? Oh , I think my grammar is messed up now " Yuni said and Mir confirmed it .
" Looks like you will become unborn in the mental sense . " Yuni sensed some worry from Mir " Hey , don't worry , you'll be able to get me back even if I was unborn mentally " " It won't be the same you ,so I would rather have you mentally frozen instead of unborn "
