Chapter 1 I think, therefore I am
Many people would argue that they often talk to themselves. Others will call them crazy. Is it possible for one to ask oneself? Subconsciously, don't we all have the potential answers we ask for?
For one man, there questions are, indeed, answered by himself.
"I have consciousness."
…
"I see, this is the materialization of the human body."
In the intersections of all of his brain's neuro connections, thoughts originate from the glimpse of his so-called brain. The brain waves are just like the any other human, but they seem to concentrate on the subject of themselves.
"Interesting, this is the process of thinking."
In the middle of nowhere, his consciousness is speaking to nothing in particular. The basic questions of his existence are asked with no reply from the void.
"Brain functionality normal, frontal lobe normal, motor cortex normal, temporal lobe normal, parietal lobe normal, occipital lobe normal, sensory cortex incomplete."
If talking to oneself is possible, then this person is utilizing this action to its extremes.
"No sense of smell or taste. Could potential cause obstacles from becoming full human."
If one can carry out personal preferences when they are thinking, then this person is denying every single aspect of that argument.
"Inspection on brain activity, cerebrum abnormality can be factored into humanity analyzation."
If one can think with bias and emotion, then this person is defying all the personal factors in his thinking process.
"Lack of emotion? Interesting. There is no conscious experience characterized by intense mental activity and high degrees of pleasure or displeasure."
If thinking can have a specific sound, then this type of thinking is fully mechanical. There is absolutely no taste in its sound.
"Body analyzation complete. Internal organs normal. Agility, speed, endurance, dexterity, natural strength all a few standard deviations above normal human condition."
"Original body host found. Name: Li Shengshun. Species: Human. Previous Code name: BK-201. Alia: Hei, the Black Reaper. Expert martial artist. Note: Body host contains contractor power."
"Contractor Power: Molecular Manipulation. Status: Premature. Potential to alter matter on the quantum level, achieving Special Particle Luminance. Current state: electrical generation and discharge by basic molecular manipulation. No obeisance recorded."
"I see. This is the statistics of the original body."
"As an artificial information carrier, meaningful name should be disregarded. Hei will serve its purpose."
"Molecular manipulation alters reality. Control will be top priority. Everything must be within the standard developments."
"Knowledge analyzation. Earthly objective information obtained. No subjective memories detected."
"Body should be functional in a few seconds."
A feeling of life suddenly overwhelms the body of thought. The idea of waking up is rather new to this new life carrier. Should he be classified as human is a question of subjectivity.
…
"Those damned empire armies!"
"Yeah… however, do remember that we are fighting the best of the best, the army led by General Esdeath herself."
"Tch, that was just the scout in the front line. The real army of Esdeath is only resting behind the ten thousand soldiers in the front."
"To be honest, even if General Hector promised us a full retreat, is it really possible for us to escape the thirty thousand troops around us?"
Vague sounds slowly filled Hei's head, from the amplitude of the sound waves, it is clear that the conversation is not far from where Hei is.
Suddenly, he opens his eyes.
A dark shade of green is reflected into his brain, as a result. The feeling of soil and grass throughout the body can be used to provide his current situation – Hei is lying in the middle of a forest.
Sitting up from his current position, Hei decides to observe his own status.
He is wearing a black trench coat, covering his entire body. Inside the trench coat lies some equipment that are familiar to his original counterpart.
Inside his coat rests a white mask with a purple lightning symbol over the right eye. It also contains a thin red slit across the mouth. A knife on a metal wire is set within his sleeve. An adjustable grappling hook is also on the weapon. Additional wires with carabines also rests in his pocket. Two pistols are resting in the inside pockets of his coat, and a small crossbow is located next to the pistols.
"Faking identity should be considered top priority." Hei takes off his trench coat, his weapons, and equipment, and places them securely inside a bush next to a tree. His inner white shirt takes over his personality, and Hei pulls out a pair of glass from the front pocket of the shirt.
"Information must be gathered before any additional steps are taken." Hei puts on the glasses, "appearance cannot provoke possibilities of threat."
Covering himself with dust from the ground, Hei turns his head and looks toward the direction for which the sound of the previous conversation appeared.
