The Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

For others it takes dying and reincarnating for them to get a system but what happens when you get one without dying. Aron Michael is an average student set to graduate within a week, but he was expelled for a random reason. Due to that he had a heavy student dept and no diploma to help him earn the money to pay it back. But one day he got a system that called itself the [Advanced

A few hours ago.

Aron's body could be seen laying on a pool of his own blood.

Nothing seemed out of place if you don't focus on the blood, other than the body of the person that should have died from blood loss continues acting as normal, except the body owner not waking up.

Inside of the said body for those who were blessed with magic vision could see golden liquids continue moving through its liquid vessel(same as blood vessels) to the heart and from there to the organs of the body without being interrupted by the emptying blood vessels being rid of their blood.

The moment the blood in the body fell to a dangerous level the golden liquid immediately shined and started doing what the blood was supposed to do.

From body defense, nutrients transfer, oxygen delivery to carbon dioxide collection like it was a normal Tuesday for it.

While the liquid was working hard to keep him alive, the golden letters in and on the heart also lit up and started sucking something from the atmosphere. when they were collected and condensed they also turned and started looking the same as the golden liquid.

This was because the golden liquid was being spent and wasted as a result of it doing something that it was not made to do. As they said there is no gain without loss, but in his situation the loss was being replenished immediately by the runes in his heart, so he was losing nothing.

The loss of blood also helped as it allowed the heart to focus on replenishing and moving the golden liquid without having to also pump blood.

Another weird thing was that the bullet was still in the body, normally if someone else was shot from the same close distance, the bullet would have gone through like paper, but for the body on the floor it was still lodged inside it.

This was caused by the golden liquid that kept slowly improving the body for the period of more than three months, making the body get better and harder the longer the time passed.

This improvement went from improving the brain, hardening of his bones, strengthening of the organs to improving hardening of the skin.

But since it was done in a slow process, it caused his family and him not realizing it was happening.

...

FBI San Francisco.

In a meeting room, there was a conference meeting with people from FBI headquarters attending it.

People such as the FBI director Robert Mueller and his assistants were in attendance through a video call.

As for the physical office, there was Special Agent in Charge (SAC), Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) and the Special Agent in Charge of the Intelligence Division.

"What is it? you said it was an emergency?"

Asked Robert Muller as head to postpone a meeting to attend this one, due to the report saying it was urgent.

"Yes sir" Replied the Special Agent in charge.

"Go on then"

"Yes Sir, one of the people we were doing physical surveillance operation has been shot and is in hospital"

"Which one? Be more specific"

"Aron the creator of BugZapper"

"Wasn't he one of our surveillance targets for protection? Then what happened to our agents on the field if he was shot?" Asked Muller

"They retreated from the surveillance operation few hours before the target was shot"

"Why?" asked muller.

"Our surveillance was to make sure he doesn't leave the country until we complete the implementation of the program in our infrastructure. So after it was completed we extended it for two more weeks and after that the operation was considered complete, hence the retreat. But a few hours later we received a report from police that there was an armed robbery in his house."

He stopped to take a breather, then he continued

"But when they investigated they found that nothing was taken, other than the target being shot"

With that he finished the explanation.

"So what is the urgency in this?" Asked muller as he still didn't see the need of calling it urgent.

"Well, after a short investigation we found out that the room he was shot in was his work room which leads us to suspect industrial espionage or foreign nations interference and wanting to have the source code of the program."

"Now that is not good." Said Muller as he started thinking about the consequences of that for them.

"Any suspect in mind?" Muller asked.

"We suspect that it is a Russian agent's work, they have been moving since the Facebook incident with the NSA" replied the Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC).

"Then why shoot him if they got the thing they wanted?"

"It seems he tried to fight back or something similar happened, but from our information on him he didn't have any hand-to-hand combat training, as for why he was shot in the stomach and not directly killing him. We suspect it was because they didn't want to attract the attention of the intelligence Agencies, that's also the reason they waited until our agents retreated from the location."

"Okay, keep an eye and give me an update if the situation changes . I will inform POTUS about it" Answered muller and ended the video call causing the room to return to its calmness.

"Looks like he is not going to blame it on us." Said the Special Agent in Charge as he sighed in relief.

"Yeah because if he does, we are fucked." Added Assistant Special Agent in Charge.

...

Ten minutes later

Muller the director of the FBI could be seen being escorted by a motorcade that was heading to the Whitehouse, so that he could brief the president about the situation.

After he arrived, he had to wait for the president to finish his meeting for him to be allowed to brief him.

When he was allowed to enter the room, he entered the office and found the POTUS Barack Obama, the secretary of state John Kerry and the secretary of defense Chuck Hagel.

After greeting them they started the meeting.

"Sir, we suspect that Russia has stolen the source code of BugZapper." He immediately went to the main topic without wasting any time.

"How did they do that?" Asked the secretary of defense as this was a problem for him.

"They infiltrated the residence of the creator of it and shot him but the police investigation indicates that nothing was stolen other than an open computer in the workroom, nothing else was out of ordinary" he explained.

"Sir if they have the source code it might be a threat to us" Secretary of state chimed in to the thinking Obama.

"don't we also have it?" He was curious.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom "We have the program but not the source code of it " he answered.

"So, why is it a threat?" asked the secretary of state.

"A team from CYBERCOM investigated the program and found that if we have the source code to it, we could use it as inspiration to make a program that doesn't need the source code to find a system's weakness." Said the secretary of defense.

" If we can think about it Russia can too, and since they already have it they might have already begun working on it" Added Obama, taking the topic more seriously than before.

"Yes Mr. president, If they really are the preparators" Answered secretary of defense while looking at the FBI director

"They are still suspects but we will have evidence of it very soon as we are looking into it," Added Muller.

"So what do you suggest?" Obama asked.

"We should also get our hands on the source code and start our own work too. This will ensure we are not left behind" Said secretary of defense.

"How? Because If I remember correctly they said it was their proprietary technology and they are not planning on patenting it at all" Said Obama while trying to remember the details about the contract.

"We can ask them for it, but if they decline we will have no choice but to force them."

"What are the ways we can use them to force them?" Asked Obama as he knew few of them but not many of them.

The Secretary of Defense smiled as he looked through his bag and removed a document then he handed it to the president, state secretary and Muller.

"Looks like you were also here for this" secretary of state smiled as he opened the folder only to frown after reading the options they could make.

'This dude fucking is crazy' is the only thought that could come to his mind after briefly reading the few options on the file, and the more he read the more sure of his hypothesis he became, because some of these options might cause heavy economic repercussions and destroy the free markets trust on them, if they decided to go ahead with some of them.

Obama didn't seem to think any differently as him, as he was giving him the side look saying are you seriously suggesting some of these options.

"I know this is my last term, but are you trying to get me impeached in its first year?" He asked.

CONFIDENTIAL BRIEFING Subject: Compelling GAIA Technology to Release its Proprietary Technology BugZapper

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ How to force GAIA TECHNOLOGY to release its proprietary technology, below are several options that the government can use to compel them to release its proprietary technology, BugZapper.

National Security Letters (NSLs): This option allows the FBI to issue a letter to the company to provide information like BugZapper for national security purposes.

-Subpoenas: These legal orders are issued by a court requiring a company to provide certain information, including proprietary technology.

-Search warrants: It will allow law enforcement to search a specific location, like the company's premises, and seize any relevant items deemed necessary for an investigation, including proprietary technology like BugZapper.

-Court orders under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA): This option compels a company to provide access to its technology, including BugZapper, for foreign intelligence gathering purposes.

-Compulsory licenses: This option authorizes a third party to use a patented invention or proprietary technology without the consent of the patent owner or technology provider. After we make them patent the technology.

-Regulatory enforcement actions: Regulatory agencies like the FTC or the SEC can launch investigations and bring enforcement actions against a company if it's suspected of engaging in anticompetitive practices or violating securities laws. As part of these investigations, the government may seek access to proprietary technology like BugZapper.

-Trade secret litigation: This option involves initiating trade secret litigation to compel the company to release the technology. This typically involves a court issuing a judgment that the technology is a trade secret and must be released to the government.

-Cybersecurity breaches: In some cases, the government may attempt to obtain BugZapper or other proprietary technology by hacking into the company's computer systems or using other cybersecurity measures. This is generally considered to be illegal and unethical, and could lead to legal repercussions for both the government and the company.

-Public pressure: This option involves using public statements by government officials, media coverage, and advocacy by interest groups to pressure the company to release its proprietary technology.

-Trade agreements: This option involves using provisions in trade agreements to compel foreign companies to disclose the source code for their software products.

-Acquisition or nationalization: This last resort option involves using the government's power to acquire or nationalize a company to gain access to its proprietary technology.

It's important to note that some of these options may be controversial or have potential negative consequences. The use of public pressure or trade agreements to force a company to release its proprietary technology could damage the company's reputation or harm trade relations between countries. The use of acquisition or nationalization can also have significant economic and political ramifications. As such, we must carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of each option before taking action.

In this case, we recommend pursuing options 1-6, which involve legal and regulatory actions that have a precedent of use in similar situations. Specifically, we recommend that the government issue National Security Letters and Subpoenas to GAIA Technology, and seek court orders and regulatory enforcement actions, including trade secret litigation, to compel the company to release BugZapper. We believe that these options are most likely to achieve our objectives while minimizing the risks and negative consequences associated with more aggressive measures.

...

After giving the secretary of defense the side look, Obama continued reading the document in order to finish it without raising his head.

After he finished reading he asked, "shouldn't we talk about buying it from them first?"

"This was discussed during the NATO negotiations, and they denied citing that it was their only existing product, so releasing it will make their company unprofitable." Answered the secretary of states as he had read the transcripts of the negotiations.

"But wouldn't doing this make them not want to work with us anymore, as you know they informed us first about the program before they made it public, to avoid mass infrastructure damage when they released it?" Added the secretary of states.

"It's a matter of National security, it doesn't matter what they did for us, they informed us because it will benefit them and will also make them be in our good books." Interjected the secretary of defense.

"But this might cause other large businesses to be wary of us," said Obama.

"If we use public opinion we could make them hand it over without having to worry about spreading fear to businesses" Answered defense of secretary.

"Create a team that will come up with plans on how we can do it, also have them assess the impact of implementing each of them, I will decide based on the report" Said the president while looking at the secretary of defense.

"Yes Sir, I will provide the final report in a month's time" He replied feeling happy that the president agreed with his plan.

With that the meeting ended and they stood to leave the room to the president for him to continue with his work.

...

In a motorcade heading back to pentagon, Chuck Hagel the Secretary of Defense took out his private burner phone and pressed in a number then pressed the call icon.

The call was answered after about eight rings.

"I remember saying to not call me through this number anymore" Said the voice on the other side.

"Don't worry I'm the secretary of defense I have the us army under me, do you think i can't access a secure phone" He asked in return.

"Anyway, why did you call me?" said the voice not wanting to continue with the topic.

"Rejoice, the president has agreed with my recommendation and gave me a month to give him options he can take to move forward with it" Said Hagel.

"That was way too easy than I expected, what caused that?" asked the voice in surprise.

"Well god seemed to be on our side, because while I was with Obama news came that Russia seemed to have stolen the program and shot the creator. This opened a window for me to point the president to the direction we wanted"

"So when are you reporting it to him?"

"I told him within a month, so have your team come up with the plans and I will present them to the president" Said Hagel.

"Well that is enough time for our think tanks come up with a plan that will damage the company"

"But why are you going this far? can't you just buy it? your family is powerful enough to do that after all" asked Hagel.

"Well we tried buying it, they denied us, so we need to destroy their product and put them in their place. After that they will have no choice but sell it to us cheaply" Answered the voice.

"But if you destroy their product, how will you use it?"

"Focus on your job and I will focus on mine okay!" The voice said and hung up on him.

"FUUUUCK" He shouted while throwing the phone to the window, hitting it and startling his driver and security team.

Although he was angry, he didn't continue showing his anger. He knew the man was a member of a very powerful family that lobbied for his position and they could remove him the moment he annoyed them.

He also suspected that there was their spy among his security team and if he shows that he was annoyed by them, it will be reported to them and he will have to pay for it.

"Mom, when is brother going to wake up?" Asked Henry, looking at Aron sleeping with oxygen mask on his face and machines surrounding him in the VIP room.

"The doctor said he will wake up soon." Answered his mother with dark circle in her eyes as she couldn't sleep peacefully from worrying that something might happened when she is asleep.

she only managed to sleep a little after her husband promised her he will wake her up if something happened.

"But why was a some of his blood on the floor golden?" Asked Henry curiously.

"What do you mean golden? I only saw red even after returning with police" She answered his question without thinking, realizing what she was talking with her young son she changed the topic.

"What do you want to eat?" she asked him, to distract him from remembering the bloody scene and prevent it from becoming a trauma.

"Chicken" henry replied happily, forgetting whatever he asked before.

"Let's go and buy it then" Interjected his father to allow his wife to rest a little more.

"YES" replied Henry while jumping from anticipation.

"You rest a little more we need to be in our best shape to look after him, if he wakes up and see you like that he will blame himself more." Said Michael while stroking his wife's back and making her sit down on the sofa in the VIP room.

After making sure she closed her eyes and started sleeping, he left the room holding Henry's hand who was jumping up and down from excitement of eating his favorite food

...

A few months ago

Aron could be seen laying on his bed shaking a little as his body was literally forming new blood vessel like pathways in the body, he was sweating a little as his heart was getting upgraded to be able to do the same job but twice the amount.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ When the formation of golden vessels finished the runes in his heart started attracting something from the atmosphere, when the minimum amount of it was collected the heart started condensing it to liquid and deposited it to the new golden vessels.

While the heart was doing its job, Aron wasn't the only one in the room, there was his younger brother playing on his playstation, nothing of notice was happening to him but since the room he was in was currently acting like like a magnet of something in the atmosphere, something was changing in him albeit small.

The changes continued due to it reaching a very high concentration in the room, causing Henry's eye to turn golden and see everything around him turn to gold, as he could see something he couldn't see before, but this happened in a fraction of a second then his eyes returned to normal.

He was startled but since it happened for a short period of time he returned to play his game and forget about it.

This was why when Aron was shot it allowed him to see the golden liquid within the sea of blood, the golden vessels started to be repaired immediately causing only a small amount of golden liquid to leak before healing fully.

...

ROB(random omnipotent being) POV.

Looks like your younger brother is in the same trench as you HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Not looking into your future and just watching how it unfolds for you is really entertaining.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The laughter continued, as it started getting further and further returning the place into dead deep silence.

...

Sarah was having a very bad week, she couldn't sleep since yesterday after receiving the news of what happened to Aron.

She visited him yesterday with Felix but she couldn't see him as he was in ICU, so she had to return.

Her worries were lessened after she learned that he survived the operation and nothing bad has happened.

She was now having a meeting with department heads for how to proceed.

"Are we continuing with the planned marketing of the product?" Asked the marketing department head.

"Yes, we will continue as planned. Is everything ready?" Answered Sarah.

Since Aron has already finished the product and it is already approved by Google while being in the last steps of verification in Apple, They had to see it through, so that when he wakes up she will have good news to provide him.

"Yes, when we contacted the influencer they were surprised but agreed immediately since the compensation is very good, we have already agreed on the day they will start with the marketing." Answered marketing head.

"Okay so ..."

They continued the meeting talking about other topics not knowing that a crisis was coming their way.

...

Somewhere in international waters near USA.

Vladimir was currently in a smuggling boat that was heading out of America, this was so that he could be extracted through Cuba and avoid the chase of FBI in America.

Although he could have been extracted using diplomats or other means inside of America.

They didn't do that as his extraction was neither urgent nor important enough to warrant their use of them. Since he had already sent the code through a secure connection to mother Russia. So, they don't care that much if he dies but they still tried to make him return.

"Looks like you're going to be promoted, Congrats" Said Pavel, the smuggler as he was also a member of Russian intelligence agent too.

"Yeah, Thanks" he gave a short answer as he didn't want to continue the conversation anymore.

"So are you going to continue with your field job or what?" Asked the man, showing that he wanted to continue the conversation. it had been a longtime since he spoke with someone from the agency due to not wanting to attract foreign intelligence's attention.

"That will depend on my supervisor," Vladimir replied in short answer.

"Yeah, pray that yours is not as heartless as mine" The man said, implying that something was done to him by his supervisor.

This show of emotion made Vladimir curious of what happened to the man, because it might happen to him too. So, he asked "What happened?"

"Well my supervisor sent me here to become a smuggler as a promotion." He said while smiling with pain on his face.

"Promotion? If this was a promotion, what were you doing before?" Vladimir was surprised because no one was promoted to become a smuggler. It was the opposite of it, you need to be demoted or in the second stage of training to become a smuggler as a form of training.

"I participated in the operation of Zelimkhan Yandarbiev" answered Pavel

When Vladimir heard the name he immediately remembered the name because it caused quite a stir internationally in 2010, as Zelimkhan Yandarbiev, a former president of the breakaway republic of Ichkeria (which sought independence from Russia) was assassinated in Qatar.

The Qatari authorities accused the FSB of involvement in the assassination, and two Russian intelligence officers were subsequently convicted in absentia.

"Then who were the ones who were arrested if you are here?" Vladimir asked as he only heard about the operation and wasn't authorized to read the operation report in detail.

"The operation was huge, so there were more men than what we normally have in abroad assassination. Among the two who were arrested, one of them was Anatoly Yablochkov. He was in the same team with me. The problem is that he was the only one arrested from our team which led our supervisor to think that we abandoned his relative as a diversion tactic for us to escape" Explained Pavel, giving an answer without revealing too much information about the operation.

"Are you the only one who was reprimanded?" Vladimir wanted more details about the operation to soothe his curiosity so he continued asking, which was quite opposite when this conversation started.

"Everyone in that team is somewhere they don't want to be. I'm in a better place than most of them" He answered the same as before, long sentences but with as little details as possible, which was frustrating to Vladimir but he could do nothing about it.

Although the man was angry at his supervisor, he was still loyal to mother Russia so he still kept his operation secret even though he was mistreated.

...

Lubyanka Square, Moscow Center

In the FSB headquarters technology department they were working 24/7 trying to break the encryption of the program they received.

Normally this would have been pushed on the list as they usually had a first come first serve basis, but the moment this arrived orders from above immediately came and forced them to abandon everything they were working on and start working on the program they received.

"When are you expected to break it?" Asked Vladimir's supervisor.

"Well looks like he wasn't expecting someone to steal it so he hasn't put too much of an encryption in the program so depending on our luck anywhere between a week to a month" Answered one of the technicians working on the department.

"Okay" With that he left, leaving them to do their jobs.

Although he was dissatisfied with the amount of time it would take, there was nothing he could do to make the computer work faster anyway, so why waste time waiting for something that he will be informed about when it is done either way.

...

A week later.

Artificial intelligence was a buzzword that everyone on the internet knew. It usually starred as the bad guy in the Hollywood movies, trying to wipe out humanity with lasers and robots, only to be stopped by some hero with a witty one-liner.

From the media's branding it could be seen that humans had always been scared and suspicious of artificial intelligence.

It made sense; they were, after all, beings that didn't need a body, that lived forever and knew everything. Why would such a thing need humans?

But that didn't stop people from trying to create artificial intelligence. But that didn't stop people from trying to develop it from IBM'S computer beating people in chess to many other sports—artificial intelligence had come a long way in the years.

But where will it go from here?

Well forget about waiting for the future, you could experience it right now.

An app, as advertised by their influencers or people they follow—was on the Android platform, and the APP store.

The downloads went crazy, reaching one million downloads 7 hours after its launch, crushing any competitor for the most number of downloads a day.

This was followed by an influx of positive reviews from those who tried it and this led to more people hearing about it trying to know what was the fuss about it.

İt was there taking the number one spot of the most downloads in a day and it didn't seem like it was coming down at any time at all.

This was nothing short of fiction.

No app was that popular from the moment it was released as it usually needed to start slowly for it to then later gain momentum and a following to reach these numbers of download a day.

This was the impact of using influencer from any and all genres allowed it to have a high starting point, this momentum would all have been a naught if the app itself was bad and couldn't make the user want to continue using it, but it was quite the opposite of it.

It not only retained the user but also turned them into walking billboards as they were advertising it to their family members, friends and anyone they were close enough to want them to experience the same thing as them.

As they say: there is nothing good marketing can't fix, ask Dominos as their "Oh Yes We Did" campaign saved them.

But this app had everything to make it popular: good marketing and a good product leading it to its continuous increase in popularity by the minute.

Artificial intelligence? making your phone 2 times faster? Worked with both Android and iOS apps? Were they bullshiting us and taking us for a fool?

But when they tried it, they found out the claims were really true, as it did what it advertised to the letter and more.

Siri and Google assistant sounded like a child next to this.

...

"What's the download number?" Sarah asked Lila, the marketing manager.

"2 million downloads, most of it coming from the last 3 hours and it continues increasing" Answered Lila with enthusiasm.

Sarah gave a nod and asked "Are the influencers continuing with the marketing as agreed before?"

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ "Yes, they will continue for about a week, then they will stop and let the users do the recommending of it to their friends and family after they get used to using it"

"Okay, continue monitoring the response and inform me of any changes that are different from expected." Sarah ended the discussion and returned to her work while feeling happy about the Program doing well.

Adding to her smiling when she remembered asking Aron how he plans to avoid it being taken down from the app stores, when it threatens their OS markets?(Android İOS)

"Well, after they downloaded it, it will act just as the assistant and the optimizers and will not immediately replace the OS, because if it does that Google and Apple will immediately remove it from their stores and ban it.

It will not replace the OS until our download number reaches at least a billion users, that's when we will announce the existence of premium versions and recommend that they replace their OS with GAIA OS inorder to increase optimization.

The Vİrtual assistant will make sure to explain to them carefully that their data will not be lost and all they needed to do was to restart the phone and it will be replaced within a snap

This is expected to work, because during the period we wait for the download number to reach that high, people will build trust and dependance to the Virtual Assistant, reducing the chances of them denying it.

And when the mass exodus begins, companies like Apple and Google will not be able to stop it

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!"

Sarah smiled when she remembered how Aron looked like a villain when he started laughing after he finished his explanation.

But he did seem like one, because his plan will leave the companies with no choice but to just accept it.

Even if they removed it from their stores by that time it would be meaningless, as all they needed to do was make a site where they can download it or make it possible for people to recommend it others by just sending them an invite link, and they will be a "Wingardium Leviosa" away from having it.

A really sinister plan innit?

...

By the second week of its release it had already reached a whopping 357 million downloads.

This was an unprecedented rise of an app and it became a conversation starter, leading to more people hearing about it leading to more people downloading it.

A positive feedback loop, a perpetual machine of success, a fusion reactor for relevance and a dark energy producer of conversation.

DAMN!!!

Anyway the number of users kept increasing more and more prompting media outlets to talk about it leading to a wave of free advertisement HAHAHAHA.

But while all these were opening something sinister was happening behind-d their backs.

...

Google HQ.

"What steps are you taking in breaking the program?" Asked Bob.

Bob was responsible for breaking the security of the so called GAIA program, as orders from above wanted them to crack and learn how the AI works for them to implement it to their own AI.

"We are trying but it proves to be difficult because we haven't managed to find how the inception even works for us to begin trying to crack it" Replied a man with deep dark circles, pointing that he might have not had a peaceful sleep of more than an hour for days.

"The upper echelons are pestering me to know where we are, just increase the number of people working on it. I don't care how many of them you bring, just finish it fast or else we are dead, understood!!" Said the man showing his frustration, this meant that the higher up were really pestering him to find something.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ Alas what they don't know is that they will never be able to do that.

Aaaaah pour souls.

...

The same was happening to Apple, Microsoft Samsung and any technological company you can think of.

They ended up choosing this way because the company that made it denied everything from buying them up to selling some of their shares or anything of that matter.

Everything was denied by them. This was even after companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple and Samsung offered to buy them for about 30 billion dollars or more causing frustration on many people.

...

This was also not the only thing keeping the company busy as the legal department were working their asses off to remove anything that was imitating the program and the likeness of it.

This was because the moment the app became famous nearly 15 copycats appeared, although they had no functions similar to the real program, they wanted to prevent users going to them which in return will make their real program seem like a scam.

They were giving out DMCA takedowns left and right like Oprah, those seize and desist letters were going out faster than they could comprehend.

...

While everyone in the company was happy about the success of the product, Sarah wasn't among them because she was currently reading a letter with the members of the legal department.

[

Subject: Request for Compelled Access to Proprietary Technology under FISA

Dear [GAIA Technology Executive,

I am writing to inform you that the government of the United States, under the orders of President Barack Obama, is requesting access to your company's proprietary technology known as BugZapper, pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). As you may be aware, FISA is a federal law that governs electronic surveillance and collection of foreign intelligence information within the United States.

The government has reason to believe that BugZapper may contain information that is relevant to ongoing foreign intelligence gathering efforts. As such, we are requesting that GAIA Technology comply with a court order issued under FISA, which will require you to provide access to BugZapper to authorized government personnel for the purposes of foreign intelligence gathering.

We understand that the protection of proprietary technology is of great importance to your company. However, we believe that the potential national security benefits of accessing BugZapper outweigh the potential risks to your company's proprietary interests. We also assure you that the government will take all necessary steps to protect the confidentiality of any proprietary information obtained through this process.

Please note that non-compliance with a FISA court order can result in legal penalties and other serious consequences. We urge you to comply with this request in a timely manner to avoid any further legal action.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Chuck Hagel

Secretary of defense

Department of Defense(DOD)

'They are fucking good with timing, why now? when the owner is still in bed and hasn't woken up' she thought while squashing the letter.

"What steps can we take to fight against it?" Sarah asked.

"Well, there are a few potential ways to fight back against a FISA court order," said the lawyer while putting his documents down "First, we could challenge the order in court, arguing that it violates our constitutional rights or that the government doesn't have sufficient evidence to justify the request for access to their proprietary technology. However, this can be difficult and it may not ultimately be successful."

"Another approach could be to negotiate with the government and try to reach a compromise solution that protects our company's interests while still providing some level of access to the technology," he continued. "This might involve limiting the scope of the access, requiring the government to sign non-disclosure agreements, or other measures to safeguard the company's intellectual property. But as we know they can just breach it if they want."

"But all of these would only work if the government decides to take their time or the president can just pass these steps citing urgency and other things." the lawyer finished with his explanation, his explanation implied that they can only try to fight back if the government allows it.

"Try using the court way first so that we can buy time" Sarah chose the first option because she wanted to buy time for GAIA OS reach the needed number of people to initiate the OS Exodus, Because if it becomes public that the government forced them to give up something it might be used as a reason to deter people from deciding to fully move to GAIA OS.

Another reason is to buy time until Aron wakes up, so that he can decide by himself. This was because he told her to not give anyone access to the program without his permission and she didn't want to give it up also.

'I hope he wakes up before the government loses patience with us and decides to overturn the table' Prayed Sarah for his health so he can wake up and decide by himself.

Breaking News: GAIA Virtual Assistant Reaches 1 Billion Users in Record Time

It has been just a month since the release of the newest virtual assistant, and it has already made its mark on the world. Today, the company announced that it has reached an unprecedented milestone of 1 billion users worldwide, and the number is still growing.

The virtual assistant, which was developed by...

]

The news channels on Sarah's phone announced that their app has reached the milestone of 1 billion users in just a month's time shattering and leaving all the records behind creating its own legacy.

They were currently having a fight with government, but thankfully they managed to keep it under the wraps without it leaking to the media.

There will be a court session in two weeks about the FISA order which will result in it being known to the world, but that didn't matter too much now, because they finally reached the needed amount of people to begin their migration.

The reason they managed to reach a high number of downloads in short period time was mostly due to the good marketing at the beginning but what followed was what propelled the fast increase of new users, it was the word of mouth which made the milestone possible.

"Now let's see how many of you are willing to fully move over." she said while putting her hands on her chin while her eyes were focusing on the screen, as anytime now the notification will start appearing to people who are not using their phones for other thing. This was of course to avoid annoying people or harm those who are in need of the phone for emergencies.

hoping that there will be the same excitement in moving over just like when they first started downloading

...

Somewhere, someone was talking with the Chibi Virtual assistant on his phone.

"NuqneH?" (What do you want?)

"Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam." (Today is a good day to die.)

"Qo'noS qet jaghmeyjaj." (We are Klingons. It is our nature to die with honor.)

"HochHom!" (Attack!)

Someone interrupted them "What are you two doing?" she asked.

"Ooh, hi baby" the man greeted his girlfriend while feeling embarrassed that he was caught.

"We are practicing our Klingon battle cries. It helps us prepare for battle" Answered the Chibi AI with enthusiasm while wearing Klingon armor on the screen and looking proud.

"Oh, I see. That's interesting." replied the girl laughing at his boyfriend who was getting redder than tomato from embarrassment.

"Yes, we take our battle preparations very seriously." Replied Chibi VA again with proudness in its face, making the girl and the boy break out in uncontrollable laughter.

"Well, I wish you luck in battle." She replied while laughing

"Thank you. Qapla'!" Replied the virtual assistant while giving her a Klingon salute.

Later that day when the man was playing with his phone a notification appeared on the screen

The notification informed him that he can have more optimization and other perks by making the program its official OS.

"What about my current data and saved files?" Asked the man.

"Well you can choose to move it to the new OS without losing any of it" Answered the Chibi Virtual Assistant.

"Then do it, I see no problem" Answered the man while putting his trust on the Chibi, as he came to trust it after it having not caused him any trouble for the period he has used it. So he decided to trust it.

This was happening all over the world creating the phenomenon that will be known as: the great migration or the Exodus.

...

"More than a month has passed since the surgery. Why hasn't he woken up?" Rose, Aron's mother, asked the doctor who is currently doing his daily checkup on the sleeping Aron.

"Although it's rare, it sometimes happens for gunshot patients to take longer to wake up. but from our last tests results, it showed that he is healing fine and he doesn't have any other situation or bad condition, he will wake up soon ma'am. Have some patience " Said the doctor respectfully knowing that the mother was worried about his child and left the room after he finished his checkup.

Although they had returned home for the sake of Henry not having to spend all his time with them in the hospital, they still spent most of the time he was in school at the hospital, hoping that Aron would wake up and nothing bad would happen to him.

"I really hope nothing bad happens to him any more" She said but was immediately interrupted by Michael.

"Trust the doctors, they want to save him as much as we do because he is their VVIP patient now and losing him for such a small problem will be a bad PR for them" he said that, but he was also worried that something might have happened to his son that's why he wasn't waking up.

The fear was because we he asked the assistant in his phone, it told him they usually wake up in the same week of the surgery but their son still hasn't woken up even after a month.

Although him not awakening can be attributed to an exception in the general rule, what was really causing him to not wakeup was because he was currently awake in a room created by the system within his head.

A month ago(Operation room)

While he was unconscious the system suddenly moved his consciousness.

"What the heck?" He shouted in surprise when he found himself in a room that was covered with blue walls, having a bed, a chair and desk.

The moment he asked, the system just directly uploaded all the answers in his head to make him calm down and not panic.

"I'm currently inside the room the system made and moved my consciousness because it needed me to make a decision about something important." He repeated what the system said to make himself believe what he heard as it was absurd situation for him.

"What decision?" He asked and immediately a blue screen appeared in front of his face with the answer or rather a question.

[

Would you like to move forward with the merging of Runic heart with your normal heart

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ [YES] [NO]

]

It was followed immediately with another one to give him more details before he makes his decision.

[

NOTE!!

If you move forward with the merging, the Runic mana vessels will also merge with your blood vessels, this will lead to the change of the users body characteristic and your body will turn into Runic body

]

'What is the difference?' he asked in his head as he didn't know what the difference was, this was due to the knowledge about runes being too expensive for him to buy.

But this time something different happened

DING!!!!!

[ 500,000,000sp spent to buy the relevant knowledge!!!]

'And there goes my hard earned sp, i had to fucking release the program to the public to get them, but you just spent them without even consulting me, now i have to wait for the release of GAIA OS to earn more sp.'

But before he could finish his complaining about the system spending nearly all the sp he gained from releasing BugZapper to the public, a massive info dump interrupted even his thinking and comprehension capability, this was even after they were regularly enhanced by the system and the golden liquid.

After an hour or more of info dump he finally managed to come to himself and started comprehending what knowledge was dumped into his head.

The first thing he realized was that the system had given him a discount for buying it without his consent, as it usually cost about a billion sp to buy this knowledge from the shop.

Another reason for the discount was that the system deemed the knowledge necessary for the user to make a knowledgeable decision as the changes are permanent and can't be reversed.

Now back to what he learned from the info dump.

Although nearly 500 million sp was spent, it only managed to buy the beginner knowledge about Runes. The good news is that this also included all the beginner level runes.

So here is some of that knowledge.(Warning info dump[But it is important so you might as well read it.])

[

Runes is one of the many ways used to influence or get access to MANA. It is usually used by races that have no access to MANA heart's and MANA veins as they can be granted to anyone through the writing of runes into the user's heart and turning it into a runic heart.

The level of the runes a person can use and comprehend, depends on the level of the runes written on the heart during the making of the RUNIC heart.

The hierarchy of runes level = Beginner, intermediate and advanced runes.

The current knowledge only gave him information at the beginner level.

In the beginner level, Runes can be classified into two types: fundamental runes and property runes. Fundamental runes affect the basic attributes of the material, such as its durability, weight, hardness, or flexibility. Property runes affect the behavior of the material, such as its affinity to certain elements, forces, or energies. For example, a fire rune can make a material burn hotter or resist fire damage; a magnet rune can make a material attract or repel metal objects; a light rune can make a material glow or become invisible.

These types will increase the higher the level of the runes become.

For a person to be able to use beginner level runes, their runic heart needed to have anywhere between a hundred runes to a thousand. The more runic lines there are the more runes you can learn as the brain needs the runic heart to support it in comprehending the runes.

And there are more than a thousand runic languages in just the beginner level. And they were complicated as hell.

Well as for the requirements to use more advanced runes, there was nothing. It seemed like he needed to buy the knowledge for it to know more.

But when he looked at the level of his runic heart, all he saw was —

It seems its level was higher than his current knowledge, this made him happy.

Now what is MANA?

MANA is a form of energy that is static and neutral, meaning it does not change over time unless someone acts upon it.

It being neutral means that it can be converted to the needed form without using too much energy.

RUNIC BODY

The Runic Body is a rare and coveted gift among those who practice the ancient art of runic magic. The body is marked with intricate, glowing runes that pulse with magical energy, granting the bearer unparalleled insight into the secrets of the runic language.

Those who possess a Runic Body are able to comprehend all the runes in existence at a much faster pace than others, allowing them to master even the most complex of runic spells with ease. But the true power of the Runic Body lies in its ability to use intent runes.

Intent runes are a special type of rune that allow the user to imbue their spells with a specific intent, giving them greater control over the effects of their magic. For example, a fire rune imbued with the intent to burn but not destroy could be used to torture an enemy without killing them.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom Normally, creating such a spell would require a vast number of runes, such as fire rune, preservation rune, containment rune and many more, each carefully crafted and arranged to achieve the desired effect.

But with the Runic Body, the user can simply inscribe the basic runes and imbue them with their intent, allowing them to achieve the same effect with a fraction of the effort.

With those benefits it must be known that learning intent runes was harder than learning runes as a normal person.

But for the benefits he will be getting, it is worth learning it no matter the difficulty.

]

After reading all the information he pressed

[YES]

And the screen immediately disappeared then another one appeared.

[

Do you want to return to sleep and wake up after the process is completed or remain here?

[Return to sleep] [Remain here]

]

"Remaining here will give me some time to think about what happened and what I should do from now on" so he pressed the [Remaining here] button.

With that he was left alone, and without anyone disturbing him he started planning his future plans.

Report chapter Comments

The moment he pressed yes, the heart stopped for a short period of time before it started beating again, but this time it was glowing.

What followed next was the golden vessels started moving closer to blood vessels while glowing too.

They didn't have too much trouble reaching them as when they were made they were made parallel to blood vessels, this in return made it so that the length of blood vessels and the mana vessels was equal, which made it easier for the merger to be done without trouble.

When they merged the heart started beating faster than usual due to the volume it needed to push in one vessel being doubled at once but this was only for a short period of time because the runes on the heart started moving and changing their arrangements assimilating with the heart completely.

Making the heart look like zebra stripes but in gold and red. Normally when you mix gold and red liquids, the result becomes orange-y brown, but due to the golden liquid being mana it overwhelms the red color of blood turning all the liquid into gold color just like it was before.

But this golden color could only be seen by people who have magic vision, for those with normal eyes red is all they will be able to see.

With the mixing completed, changes started occurring in the body. Organs started glowing as the RUNIC MANA BLOOD started circulating in them making them turn into golden-red stripes just like the heart but dimmer.

His mussels started strengthening and healing the damage they had from daily sports, removing scars from the body.

The changes to the body occurred over the period of the month in which to the outsiders eye he was asleep.

...

Right after the changes began inside the system made room.

Aron started recalling what happened.

"Looks like I overlooked security due to getting used to living normally most of my life" This was his first mistake since he became very rich in the course of days his mindset didn't adapt to think like rich people.

And before he could realize that he was attacked.

"The first and one of the cheapest things I bought from the system shop, caused some people to nearly kill me" He remembered when he bought BugZapper due to it being the cheapest and it being on the same field he was learning before expulsion.

But despite it being useless from the system's eyes to the people of this world it was way too powerful of a tool to just leave it in the hands of a kid.

To someone it was important enough to send a person to steal it from him.

'Who might it be?' He asked himself while he started listing possible suspects.

'All security companies should be considered, countries that didn't receive the program before its public release or anyone powerful enough to know that I'm the maker of the program and would want to have it on his hands' when he finished listing the suspects he realized there was no use in even trying because the number of suspects exceeded his comprehension.

'How do I prevent it from happening again?' He asked himself, making sure that he learns from his mistakes.

'Looks like I have to buy a security company after I leave the hospital, I need to change the house too to one where perimeter security can be provided without having any difficulties' with those ideas as a starting point, he began planning on how he can prevent something similar or more deadly from happening to him anymore.

"As for other measures I will need to be awake and have current information to be able to decide what to do with them" With that he decided to sleep on the bed made for him by the system.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom He didn't leave it because he wanted to spend his time there thinking about his other future plans, and not waste it by just sleeping while waiting for the system to finish its modifications on his body so that he can wake up and leave the hospital.

...

A month passed like that and Arons body was in its final phase of upgrades as only one organ remained,

DING!!!

[

YOU WILL ENTER AN INDUCED COMA DURING THE BRAINS UPGRADE IN 5 MINUTES

]

And it needed him to be in coma as doing a brain upgrade while he was awake will be the same as upgrading a computer chip while it's on: It is a recipe for disaster and nearly certain death.

He prepared himself and waited for the five minutes to finish.

DING!!! 5…..4….3...2..1.0

With that he lost his consciousness and the liquid started moving toward his brain, but this was done differently than how it was done to other organs.

The moment the Runic mana blood reached near the brain it evaporated, turned to gas and started surrounding the brain creating a golden cloud around it.

The density of the cloud continued increasing while the evaporating RUNIC MANA BLOOD started being replenished by the heart as it was being drained much faster than the usual amount used for the upgrade of other organs.

The golden cloud was entering the brain though slowly, as the system needed to be careful to avoid harming the brain and causing the death of the user and itself.

It controlled the golden cloud making it enter the brain in a wave pattern, enhancing every part it passed while losing its energy and by the time the wave reached the center of the brain, it upgraded that part while using the last of its energy.

This was followed by another golden wave doing the same thing, followed by another, then another and another...

The enhancement were slowly but surely being made to the brain while making sure the owner doesn't become a psychopath or a mass murder due to the systems mistake.

This was to be done until the last of the golden cloud is spent, as for what enhancement he received we will only know after he wakes up.

...

"Upon review of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court order, which requires GAIA Technology to provide access to their proprietary technology known as BugZapper, and having heard the arguments of both parties, I hereby ORDER that:

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ GAIA Technology shall comply with the FISA court order and provide access to BugZapper to authorized government personnel for the purposes of foreign intelligence gathering.

GAIA Technology shall provide access to BugZapper within thirty (30) days of the issuance of this order.

GAIA Technology shall take all necessary steps to protect the confidentiality of any proprietary information obtained by authorized government personnel.

Failure to comply with this order may result in legal penalties and other serious consequences.

"

TANG!!! TANG!!! TANG!!!

The judge lifted his gavel and hit the wooden block ending the two week long war between the Department of Defence and GAIA Technology, which will force them to hand over the program within 30 days.

It took only two weeks because it was a case that needed to be expedited for national security purposes.

...

Tsiiiiiiing,

Aron woke up from his two week system induced coma with ringing in his ears.

This was caused by his consciousness trying to get used to the new brain that has finished its upgrade.

"DOCTOR DOCTOR" he heard a woman's voice shouting as it was getting farther and farther, it was followed by the sound of the door being opened and closed.

A short period later the door was opened and footsteps of more than one person were heard coming near him.

His eyes were held open and a light was shined on them.

"Why does he look uncomfortable?" She asked

"Don't worry mam, he is just getting used to being awake after sleeping for a month and a half."

'Looks like it took two weeks to finish my brain' Aron thought as he was finally getting used to the new feeling.

"Aron can you hear me?"

Aron turned to where the voice came from then smiled after not seeing his parents for more than a month and a half.

"Mh.." He replied while moving his head up and down as his neck was dry after not speaking for a long time.

"Thank god" replied his mother while hugging his father in relief as she was worried that he might never wake up.

'Thank god i was alone during the theft, else i don't know what might have happened' He thought in relief while making a promise to himself to make sure it never ever happens again.

"Water" He said with difficulty as he wanted to wet his throat, it was making him uncomfortable and it prevented him from speaking due to its dryness.

His mother went to the table that had a water jug and poured a little of it in the glass then handed it to him.

He took a sip then drank the entirety of it to soothe his throat. What followed was the release of a comfortable groan as the water was passing through the esophagus cooling it as it headed to the stomach.

"How are you feeling?" Asked the doctor who was waiting for him to finish drinking his water, so that he can continue with his assessment.

"I feel some pain in my abdomen," Aron replied slowly.

"It is normal since your wound is gunshot and you will need physical therapy before you can return to your normal life" Answered the doctor as he moved Arons hospital gown to look at his wound.

When he removed the bandage that was put by the nurse he saw that the wound had already healed, Although he was surprised that it healed faster than usual but since the patient himself was an anomaly he wasn't that much surprised.

Because who the heck sleeps a whole month and a half for a gunshot wound to the stomach.

"And since your wound has already healed, you can start physical therapy from tomorrow" The doctor added as he wrote it on his report paper.

He bade them farewell and left the room to Aron and his family.

"Where is Henry?" He asked for his younger brother.

"He is still at school" Answered his father while his mother was straightening the sheets that were covering him.

They continued to have small talks until the time to pick Henry from school came, then his father left to pick him and bring him here to meet his brother. While his mother continued to stay with him and continued spending time with him as they waited for Henry together.

…..

Four days later Sarah visited Aron after receiving the news that he had awoken, finding him doing his physical therapy.

When he finished his walking exercise, he finally discovered her waiting for him.

"Sarah" He called her as he picked his walking stick and started coming to her, she stood and went to meet him in the middle so as to not over walk him.

...

"Long time no see" Sarah said to him as they sat on a table.

"Long to you, but to me it was just sleeping and waking up" Replied Aron.

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

"Quite better than I normally thought I would if I was shot" He answered while making a joke which did not land at all, causing an awkward situation between them.

Kaw kaw kaw

After a few crows crowing, he decided to end the awkward situation by changing the topic and asking about something else.

"How is the company?" He asked, trying to change the topic.

"It is not going well" Replied Sarah while trying to hide her embarrassment.

In her eyes the release of the program was their loss and there was nothing they could gain. And she couldn't trust the government to keep the program secret and not leak it to someone influential.

So without beating around the bush she started explaining without leaving anything out so that Aron knew what was going on with the company.

After she finished her explanation an hour had already passed. During this time Aron did nothing but listen to her explanation.

"How did the public react to this?" He asked.

"Well nothing noteworthy from them other than a twitter trending hashtag nothing else happened from their sides, but after that order other governments are also trying to make us hand the program over to them too, which is causing us problems"

"Did it impact the move to GAIA OS heavily" he asked this to know in more details, but he could estimate what happened due to the number of sp he saw after he woke up.

"Since we managed to start the migration of user before it was known to the public, it didn't harm much and our user base is still increasing in bıth the PC and smartphone market"

"How did Google, Apple and Microsoft react to GAIA OS?"

"For Apple and Google they reacted by removing the app from their app stores under the pretext of violating their guidelines. They also tried to make it impossible to install it in the devices that had their OS, but it seems you have already thought about it and the OS managed to circumvent that blockade without breaking a sweat.

Still they didn't stop trying but our user base is still increasing. Now we have nearly two billion devices that have already moved to our OS and they are increasing in number by the millions every hour as the positive feedback continue"

"At least we have some good news," Said Aron with a smile on his face.

"When do you plan to move forward with the release of the subscription version of the OS" Sarah asked Aron wondering why didn't he just make it available when they moved people to their OS.

"We need at least 2 billion devices connected,that way we can be sure that more than 300 million people will at least upgrade" He answered.

He also returned the topic to the main problem

"How long do we have until we have to hand the program over to the government?" He asked as his mind was cooking sinister things.

"We were given 30 days by the court, but since four days have already passed 26 days remain from the 30"

"Okay, don't worry about it. Leave the handover of the program to me" He answered as his mind was overclocking from thinking.

This was because nearly all of the plans he made while he was in the systems room were messed up by these news.

'FUCK, now I have to start again from scratch'

The reason he needed to start from scratch is because now he needed to find a new base for his future plans.

While he was in the room, all of his plans were being made with the assumption that his base was America, but since they started coveting what was his and even ended up forcing him to hand them over, he needed to plan from the beginning by finding a new base.

When they finished talking about this and other things, Sarah bade him farewell and left the hospital as he continued sitting at the same place.

After about five minutes he stood from the table heading to his room, but something weird was that he was walking without any problems whilst forgetting his walking sticks.

When he remembered that he forgot it he immediately came back to pick it and started walking back to his room with difficulty to avoid suspicion.

...

A week after he woke up.

He returned from his final physical therapy session as he had acted long enough and he needed to return to work immediately and handle their current predicament.

After taking a bath and changing his clothes, he packed his clothes in his bag then left the hospital room finding his mother waiting for him to take him home.

"You settled everything?" She asked to make sure they didn't forget anything.

"Yeah, even if I left something they will call us when they find it" He answered, making her nod agreeing to what he said.

"Okay let's hurry Henry is waiting for you at home" With that said they left to the elevator for the parking lot where their car was.

…..

When they arrived at the house and were entering the parking lot Aron discovered bodyguards around the house.

'Looks like Sarah already did what I asked' He thought as he greeted them and entered the house.

"BROTHER!!" The moment he entered the house Henry shouted while running and jumped on him.

"Be careful your brother hasn't healed completely" His mother said as he watched Aron holding Henry who jumped on him.

"Are you still sick brother?" Henry asked with worry on his face.

"No, mom is joking." He answered while messing Henry's hair, making him laugh.

Although his mother was worried that he might hurt himself he still left them to play as they haven't spent time together during the time he was in coma and they have missed each other.

...

That evening later after spending time with Henry and his family together he finally headed to his work room.

He wanted to start doing something that was postponed because of his shooting.

He didn't want to postpone it because by creating it he will be able centralize his future plans.

He began the creation of his own Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) that will become his official assistant and secretary.

It will become his foundation for his future plan as it will be responsible for making sure his plans didn't miss anything.

It will also look out for him and propose some things when deemed important.

"Now let's begin" He said as he immediately started typing code in Prometheus.

"Damn I'm like flash" He said after he realized he was typing nearly 500 words per minute.

That was nearly double the current world record in typing and that was while he was coding.

'With this I will be able to complete it faster than usual' He smiled while thinking about that as he continued typing the codes.

…..

A week later he finished writing his last line of code for his AGI and proceeded to hit enter.

The moment enter was pressed …

"Starting debugging session..."

"Loading program..."

"Setting breakpoints..."

"Waiting for debugger to attach..."

"Debugger attached."

[AGI ONLINE]

...

Two days later.

Aron was watching TV in the living room with Henry as he waited for his AI to finish its learning and everything else.

brrrrr. brrrrr. brrrrr His phone started vibrating.

"Hello" He said the moment he answered the phone.

"Yeah, the people from DOD Are asking when are we going to make the hand over?" Said Sarah from the other side of the phone.

"As far as i remember, there is still ten days until the deadline for the handover right?" He asked.

"Yes" but they seem to want it earlier than that.

"Just tell them we will hand it over before the deadline" He answered annoyingly as he was having the feeling of someone telling you to do something while you were doing.

"Okay, have a good day"

"You too"

The moment he finished the phone call

DING!!!

[

AGI Completed

Rewards 500,000sp

]

The system screen appeared to reward him the moment the AGI finished its debugging process.

This is the same reward he gets whenever he completes using any of the system knowledge.

When he received the notification, he stood up and headed to his work room to look at his completed Assistant.

...

The moment he entered the room…

"HI DAD" A childish neutral voice came from the speaker connected to his computer.

"Why am I your dad?" He asked in disbelief.

"You made me and you are male, or should I call you MOM?" It asked.

"No, just call me Sır" He said as he couldn't argue any longer.

"Yes Sir" it replied.

"But why is your voice child like?" he asked because he was curious why it remained child-like and didn't immediately become adult-like.

The voice was there to act as an indicator of how mature it was, hence the surprise of it remaining child-like.

"The amount of data is too small for me to reach full potential" It replied.

"OOOh" He said as he came to the realization. When he bought the knowledge of it he remembered that in the universe it was made it was during a period of automation so there was too much data for it to learn and mature the moment it finished debugging.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ They taught theirs with more than one Zettabyte of data and he had a measly 10 petabytes of it.

"But if you allow me to access the internet and allow me autonomous learning we can increase the maturing speed." It said,

"You can do that but first let's give you a name" he said as he started thinking of a cool name for his assistant.

After thinking for a few minutes he said "How about NOVA?"

"Thank you Sir" Nova replied as his voice changed to a feminine one.

"I thought Nova is a unisex name, so why did you change your voice to a female one?" He asked.

"Although Nova is a unisex name, it is more commonly used as a feminine name." Nova replied then asked" Do you want me to use the neutral voice?".

"No, no, you can keep"

"Thank you Sir" Nova replied.

...

"So that's almost everything that happened until now." After saying that Aron took a deep breath, as he felt tired after talking nonstop for more than 4 hours.

"Any questions?" He asked after taking a few more breaths.

[Many, but I will ask them when they are needed?] Nova replied then added [Sir you need to finish something].

"I know." He replied lazily then he said.

"Bring up the codes for BugZapper" the moment he said that, the screen immediately showed the three versions of BugZapper.

The very first one he created from his crappy computer, the second one he created after buying the house and creating his home server and the third one which he made for the public release.

"Just leave the first one and remove the rest" He said and immediately only the first one remained.

"Downgrade it to the same level as the public version one" He said and the computer immediately opened a coding app and started writing code using the currently existing programming languages, downgrading it to be the same as the publicly released version.

Twenty Five minutes later [It's done Sir] Said Nova. as it showed the completed work.

After taking a short look at the code, he nodded with acknowledgement as Nova had written exactly how he wanted it to but just in a slightly different way.

As a computer's thinking process is different from his, that's why even though it was written differently than what he would have he let it pass because it met the requirement.

"Create a universal trojan using prometheus'' He said after he completed looking at the code.

Unlike other types of malware, a universal trojan is designed to be highly adaptable and can be used to carry out a wide range of attacks, including stealing sensitive information, modifying files, and spreading further malware.

The term "universal" in this context refers to the trojan's ability to perform a wide range of malicious activities, as opposed to more specialized types of malware that may have a more limited scope of functionality.

[Yes Sir] Nova replied and started working on it.

He wanted it written in prometheus so that even if someone discovered it they would just attribute it as gibberish code.

"When you are done with it, assimilate it with the BugZapper you created" He said that while yawning.

[Yes Sir]

When he was sure that Nova had started working on it, he stood and went back to his bedroom to sleep as he felt very tired.

…..

Triiing triiing triiing.

The next morning Aron was woken up by the annoying Alarm.

"Argh…." He groaned in laziness but he still stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face.

He changed his clothes to jogging ones, then he left the house for his daily quest as it became a habit for him and not just a quest.

When he left the house he was followed by a car with three bodyguards who were following him for security purposes, as they had already been briefed about his daily routine.

[BODYGUARD POV]

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ As the bodyguards trailed behind Aron, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The man they were hired to protect, has been running at a breakneck speed and was easily maintaining the pace for more than 10 minutes.

Which left the bodyguards mouths hanging from disbelief.

"Thank god we followed him with a car" Said The driver among them.

"No shit, I would have just quit the job if I had to run with him at that speed for as long as he had been doing it"

"Shut up and focus on the surroundings" Said their team leader shutting them up and forcing them to return their focus back on the surroundings.

'But they are not wrong tho,' Thought the team leader while keeping his serious face on the outside.

...

When he returned from his daily quest he immediately went to take a bath.

After taking his bath he went downstairs to eat breakfast, he found the food already prepared because Henry usually eats before going to school.

Due to this the maid usually prepares the food at 7, so that Henry doesn't go to school late due to having to wait for the food to be prepared.

He ate his breakfast swiftly, then he cleaned his table and went to his workroom.

"Is it complete?" He asked the moment he entered the room.

[Yes Sir, take a look] Replied Nova as he showed the code on the screen.

He started reading the code and HOLY SHIT did it deserve its name.

It had a multitude of capabilities that he almost couldn't believe she packed so many of them in such small code.

Although he said it was small code it was more than 1GB due to its complexity. Keep in mind that this was after the trojan was written using prometheus.

The Universal trojan had nearly everything a good trojan needed.

It had Polymorphism, The capability of changing its code every time it does something to avoid detection or leaving behind a pattern and making sure that it cannot be traced back to him.

It also acts as a rootkit, this allows it to hide itself and its activities from the operating systems and antivirus software's. Reducing chances of it being discovered even more.

It could also manipulate files, this makes it capable of creating, modifying, or deleting files on the computer.

It is also capable of transmitting data through any system, even if it is air-gapped.

For air-gapped systems, It will use specialized hardware or software to perform covert electromagnetic, acoustic, or optical data transmissions to nearby devices.

And many more.

"How about the assimilation of it to the BugZapper?" He asked after he finished skimming through the program.

[Also done] Replied Nova.

When he received the answer, he stood and went to the shelf to pick a hard disk, then he returned and inserted it on the computer and said..

"Transfer the program to the hard disk"

[Done] Nova said the moment it was done.

"Good. you can go and continue learning" He said as he removed and picked the hard disk from the computer.

[That's what I have been doing all the time Sir] Replied Nova.

Aron, who was looking at the hard disk while thinking about the consequences of what he was going to do, didn't even hear a speck of what Nova was saying to him.

"See you later." Aron said as he stood up from the chair and left the room heading to the parking lot to pick up his car and head to GAIA TECHNOLOGY Headquarters to hand the hard disk to Sarah.

When the thing with the government is done he will finally begin planning and executing his future plans.

...

"What took so long? I'm pretty sure they would have dived here with special forces if we delayed any longer" Sarah said immediately after they entered her office.

"I had to solve some problems" He answered while sitting down.

"Have you managed to solve them?"

"Yeah and here is the hard drive." He said as he removed a hard disk from his backpack and put it on the table.

"Are you alright with this?" She asked Aron wondering how come he didn't seem angered by this.

"I'm frustrated by this situation, but unfortunately, our current lack of strength prevents us from taking any action to prevent it. Companies such as Google and others spend over a billion dollars each year on lobbying efforts, while our own company hasn't even been in existence for that long."

Aron said but then he added.

"That's why I'm looking for ways to make sure something like this never happened again"

"Mh…"Sarah nodded in agreement as she has also been looking for ways to do the same but other than lobbying there seemed to be no other reliable ways.

"How much cash will the company have by the end of the year?" Aron asked after a few seconds of calming down.

"If our subscription service of BugZapper continue to have the same number of subscribers we will have about 15 billion dollars minus other expenses and taxes" Sarah answered while looking at the financial statement from the accounting department

"Do you plan to use some of it for lobbying?" She asked.

"No, I wanted to know how much there is, so that I can decide the amount of dividend that would be paid."

"Sure. What about the release of the subscription for GAIA OS? "she asked.

"How many users do we have now?"

"We expect to reach the needed 2 billion by midnight" Replied Sarah.

"The release will be done automatically the moment that number is reached as I had programmed it in when I made the OS" He replied assuring her.

"How do you plan to release it?" She said after looking at the calendar.

"Since today is the 25th of November I will make it a free trial to all levels for the premium version until Dec 1st, that's when we will officially start accepting premium subscription." He said.

"Are you trying to show them the advantages of a premium GAIA OS to increase the chances of more people upgrading to it?"

"You know what they say, actions speak louder than words. If people enjoy using our premium OS during the free trial, they'll want to upgrade sooner or later. And some of them can even make money by selling their own custom UIs. And Influencers will act as our marketers as they will add the OS customization as a part of their merch . Then their fans will have to become premium users to get access to the UI customization feature."

They continued to talk more but since he had already finished what he came to do.

After half an hour of small talks, he bid her farewell and left the office.

...

When he returned home he went to his workroom.

He said "Nova, now that I have nothing getting on my way let's officially start our job." as he sat down in front of the computer.

[Always ready Sir] replied nova as the screen lit up.

"Now look for countries with poor economic, military but also are in a dictatorship like situation"

[Yes Sir] Said Nova and started looking for countries that fit the criteria.

[Here is the list Sir] Said Nova while displaying the list on the screen

[

North Korea: North Korea has been under a dictatorship since its formation in 1948. It has a poor economy and military, and is heavily isolated from the rest of the world due to its aggressive policies.

Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe has been under the rule of Robert Mugabe since 1980, and his regime has been accused of numerous human rights violations. The country has struggled economically and militarily for many years.

Syria: Syria has been under the rule of Bashar al-Assad since 2000. The country has been embroiled in a civil war since 2011, which has severely damaged its economy and military capabilities.

Eritrea: Eritrea has been under the rule of President Isaias Afwerki since 1993. The country has a poor economy and is heavily militarized, with compulsory national service for all citizens.

Sudan: Sudan has been under the rule of President Omar al-Bashir since 1989. The country has been beset by conflict and economic turmoil, with widespread poverty and political repression.

Eden

Sudan

Myanmar

Belarus

Laos

Angola

Equatorial Guinea

Chad

Somalia

Yemen

]

Aron read the list carefully without leaving any country on the ist out.

"List from the one with least neighbor countries to most"

[Here Sir.]

[

Eden - 1 neighbor (Esparia)

Esparia - 1 neighbor (Eden)

Cuba - 2 neighbors (United States, Bahamas)

Equatorial Guinea - 2 neighbors (Cameroon, Gabon)

North Korea - 3 neighbors (China, Russia, South Korea)

Venezuela - 3 neighbors (Brazil, Colombia, Guyana)

Eritrea - 4 neighbors (Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Red Sea)

Turkmenistan - 5 neighbors (Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Caspian Sea)

Belarus - 5 neighbors (Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia)

Uzbekistan - 5 neighbors (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan)

Myanmar (Burma) - 5 neighbors (Bangladesh, India, China, Laos, Thailand)

Syria - 5 neighbors (Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon)

Chad - 6 neighbors (Libya, Sudan, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger)

ραпdα nᴏνa сom Central African Republic - 6 neighbors (Chad, Sudan, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Cameroon)

]

Remove all but the ones with two or less neighbors.

[Yes Sir]

And with that, only four countries remained

[

Eden

Esparia

Cuba

Equatorial Guinea

]

After Aron looked at the list again he said

"Anonymously send each of the country names to separate private investigators and provide them with a front payment of half a million each.

Instruct them to gather detailed information on the countries' economies, security, and political situations.

Don't forget to tell them, The more information they gather, the more money they will receive when they are done."

[Yes Sir]

After receiving the instruction, Nova quickly located a list of the most reputable private investigators and selected four of them.

He emailed the investigators the list of country names, along with detailed instructions on what to investigate.

In addition, Nova included information on an offshore bank account that had been created under a false identity, each containing half a million dollars as a front payment for the investigation.

After about minutes Nova finished and informed Aron [Sir it's done]

Good and now we wait.

...

The next day.

The first day of the five-day event had started, and the excitement was palpable among all the GAIA OS users.

As they were given the opportunity to experience the unreleased premium versions of the operating system for free.

This momentous occasion was met with great anticipation and fervor, as many people had long believed that the initial version of the GAIA OS was the pinnacle of its capabilities.

Despite numerous attempts by rival companies to replicate its features, the GAIA OS had remained unrivaled in its performance and functionality.

As users eagerly tried the premium versions of the operating system, they were amazed by the remarkable difference in performance and efficiency.

It quickly became apparent that the free version of the GAIA OS was merely a prelude to the impressive capabilities of the premium versions.

Users were left in awe as the premium versions of the GAIA OS exceeded all expectations and pushed the limits of what they believed their devices were capable of.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom The first day of the five-day event had set the stage for an unforgettable experience.

Making sure that they are addicted to the experience they get from the premium GAIA OS, Ensuring that they will upgrade to it if they can get the same experience as long as they can.

Aron employed a tactic similar to that of drug dealers, whereby he provided potential customers with a free or inexpensive product to get them hooked before revealing the true cost.

This approach is often used to create a sense of dependency or addiction in buyers, ensuring that they are more likely to continue purchasing the product at the stated price once they are already invested.

...

"FUUUUUUCK" Said one of the engineers working on the task team tasked with cracking the GAIA OS at google.

The profanity came after he tried to see what the OS premium version had compared to the Original version.

It didn't disappoint at all, it even exceeded his already high expectations. With the premium version he could translate anything from any language without losing anything. This included sarcasm or jokes in the original language.

With just that feature borders were removed completely. A north Korean could talk with a Tanzanian in his mother language without having to worry about any context being lost during translation.

Gaia Technology with just one swoop made the translator's job useless. Damn I feel sorry for them.

While he was thinking about all of these his desk mate asked "What's wrong why are shouting all of a sudden?"

"Our job just got harder" He said as he handed over the phone to him "I think the task team is going to be disbanded soon" He added.

"Why?" Asked his desk mate.

"How many months have we been trying to crack the GAIA OS? We still haven't found anything at all. How the heck did they encrypt that program to the point our supercomputer are working endlessly and still can't crack but still be below 300mb"

His friend who was playing with the phone he handed over replied "I don't know if I knew I would have quit and started my own company. Looks like the workers at GAIA Technology don't know too"

"What do you mean?" He asked as he became curious. Why would they not know even though they were working there?

"We only learned that after one of the departments poached some of their workers from there, we discovered that even they didn't know the code and were only responsible for maintaining the servers for their services like BugZapper and nothing else.

They deduced that maybe the development team is somewhere else, they are still trying to find out where."

"Damn" said the engineer as he rested his back to the chair while sighing contemplating what he would do if they were fired.

...

The same things were happening in many companies.

...

Undisclosed location.

The scene was reminiscent of a high-stakes espionage film, as two cars sat side by side, facing opposite directions.

"You finally managed to get your hand on it?" Asked the man in a hat and gloves in his hand after lowering his window.

"As you know they delayed us using court and other things. They almost used all of their court given time limit" Chuck Hagel replied.

"Where is it?" Asked the man, cutting to the topic immediately not wanting to waste time.

"We are in a hurry aren't we?" Said Hagel smiling as he was looking through his bag for the hard drive.

"Getting cocky aren't we?" Said the man in hat cousin Hagel's mouth to stiffen.

"Just kidding, here it is," Said Hagel while handing over the hard drive after recovering, trying to diffuse the situation.

"Don't test my patience again. Understood?" Said the man while receiving the hard drive and handing Hagel a sealed document.

"Sure," Said Hagel while taking the sealed folder.

"Drive" Said the man to his driver after securing the hard drive in his bag.

The driver didn't even reply, he just pressed the accelerator and left the location in a professional way.

...

While they were on the way to their destination the man in the hat took his phone from the pocket and dialed a number.

After two beeps the call was answered.

"Did you receive the packet Kasim?" Said the voice on the other side of the call.

"Yes sir, I'm currently heading to the site to hand it over to the technical department at one of our black sites." Replied Kasim.

"While you are there send someone to look at what Rottem has been up to these days" Said the man on the other side of the call.

"Yes Sir" Replied Kasim while bowing his head a little.

After the call ended Kasim continued his journey quietly as he thought by himself.

After half an hour of non-stop driving in the wilderness, they arrived at a location surrounded by tall walls with electric wiring on top of them and cameras after every 100 meters, showing the importance of the location to anyone who laid their eyes on the outside security.

After going through security checks at the gates followed by a bomb check they were finally allowed to continue with their journey.

Their journey continued for about five minutes, until they arrived in front of a large building that had a giant satellite dish on the roof.

After entering inside he was greeted by rows and rows of people sitting in front of computers typing furiously like there is no tomorrow.

"Welcome!" Said the manager of the building.

"Here is the code you wanted." Said Kasim as he handed over the hard drive to the manager then he asked "when will your program be ready?".

The manager couldn't hide his excitement as he received the hard drive from Kasim.

"For us to modify the program to be able to look for weaknesses even without the source code, we will have to understand how it works first. So I can't give you a definitive compilation date. We will have to take a look first before we become confident enough to give a date."

The manager answered Kasim's question then added "Don't worry about us wasting time. Me and my team have been curious to find out how the program works, so we will make sure to accomplish the task the moment we uncover the mystery."

"Finish it as fast as possible" After saying those words Kasim left the building to go and complete his remaining task.

"See you!" Said the manager in excitement as he bid Kasim farewell and immediately headed to his office with the hard drive as fast as he could while making sure he didn't fall and destroy the hard drive.

...

The 1st of December.

With the official beginning of the service for premium GAIA OS an article was released by one of the most reputable newspapers which attracted many people's attention.

[

The Golden Goose: The Company that Continues Raking Money

In the world of technology, it is rare to find a company that consistently creates products that take the market by storm. But one company has defied the odds, and that is Gaia Technology.

It all started with the release of bugZapper, an internet security software that quickly became the go-to product for people who wanted to keep their devices safe. Its success was unprecedented, and it paved the way for Gaia Technology to become a leader in the internet security market.

But the company was not content to stop there. They went on to release GAIA OS, an operating system that shook the personal device market to its core.

The GAIA OS was so good that it immediately replaced the existing operating systems of many devices, regardless of the manufacturer's attempts to prevent it.

Gaia Technology seemed to have a knack for entering the market with a bang and taking it over immediately with their superior products.

And the best part? They followed up their initial releases with premium versions that were even better, leading to a large number of users upgrading to the premium versions.

This has allowed Gaia Technology to have a substantial amount of passive income every month. They haven't reinvented anything new, but whatever market they enter, they become the leader in it.

Despite their undeniable success, many companies have tried to buy Gaia Technology. Some have even offered a staggering 156 billion dollars for the company.

However, Gaia Technology continues to not accept these buying offers, showing that they value their company higher than that.

One thing is for sure, Gaia Technology has become the golden goose of the technology world, continuously creating innovative and superior products that keep them at the top of their game.

They have built a reputation for themselves as a company that consistently produces high-quality products that people cannot resist.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Gaia Technology, but one thing is certain, despite being founded just a few months ago, they have become a force to be reckoned with in the technology world, and their success shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

]

Under the article there were many comments, some positive and some negative but what many people learned from this was that GAIA Technologies was becoming a household name in the technology market.

...

Aron could be seen in the workroom reading the article on his computer after Nova informed him about it.

While he was reading Nova suddenly interrupted.

[Sir we received a ping from the trojans.]

"Didn't we send just one? How did it become trojans?" He asked, assuming Nova had made a mistake 'Looks like I need to look at her code for a mistake' he thought.

[If it was copied then the trojan will also be copied too]Nova explained why he said it was more than one.

"Go on" He said as he nodded, agreeing to the explanation.

[Well the first trojan was copied by what i suspect is one of DOD's data centers although no data was sent through it, it informed me that it is working on replicating itself and infiltrating all the systems it can, But since trying to do that while communicating with us might lead to it getting caught, it informed us that it is going radio silence until it finds a secure way to reach us without risking being found out.]

"How about the other." Aron asked after digesting the information.

[The other one seemed to reach us through a proxy because it is in an air gap system.]

"Then how did it reach us?" Aron asked as he was curious about how smart the trojan made by the system was.

[It reprogramed the video graphics card so that it became a radio frequency transmitter receiver, through that it managed to hitch a ride in one of the phones in the facility and waited until it reached a place where there is an internet connection then it established communications with us for a short period to avoid detection.]

Aron was quite impressed by the trojans ingenuity, as it found their system's weakness and it used it against them.

"What info did it send in that period?" Aron asked with excitement on his face.

[From the analysis of the information I received, it seems like it is not one of DOD's black sites. The information indicates that it is a black site funded privately.]

"So you want to say someone is colluding with the government in order to access BugZapper's source code?" He asked in surprise as he wasn't expecting that at all.

[Yes it seems so, and it is highly likely that he/she is someone in the higher ups of the DOD for them to receive and hand it over in a few days after we handed it over to the DOD.]

"List the people who might have access to it and are capable of copying it without any suspiciousness"

[Here is the suspect list]

Nova said as the screen in front of Aron Started listing potential suspects.

[

-Secretary of Defense

-Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (USD(IS))

-Director of National Intelligence (DNI)

-Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

-Director of the National Security Agency (NSA)

"Holy shiiiiiiiit!!!!!! That is a long ass list."

[It is long because they are all capable of having access to the source code and copy it without raising suspicions.

We can reduce the list by looking through their schedule and other things.

But we will have to wait for the trojan1 to have the entire network of DOD under his control for us to have access to their schedules

Or hope that trojan2 finds a reliable and secure way of communicating with us. This will be the easiest way but it the most hopeless one ]

"How long will trojan one take to have the entire DOD systems under him."

[It is difficult to estimate it because we don't know the size of their system but anyway from a month or more.]

"Okay, continue keeping an eye on them and inform me of anything important."

Aron continued talking with Nova until he was interrupted by Henry who abruptly entered the room.

"Brother I'm back" Henry said.

"Yeah. How was school?" Aron asked while turning to Henry.

"Nothing much because winter break is nearing." Henry said without hiding his anticipation of a break from school.

"Do you want to go somewhere during the break?" Aron asked his excited brother.

"Can we go to Disneyland?" Henry replied the moment he understood the question without wasting any second.

"Okay i will ask mom, if she agrees we can go together or you can ask her first."

"I will ask" Henry said and immediately left the room without even closing the door.

"Hah" Aron stood up and went to close the door.

After he closed the door Nova asked him.

[Are you going on vacation as you wait for the private investigators results?]

"Yeah. I need to spend some time with my family before the plan seriously starts, as during that period I won't be home for a long period of time."

...

Two weeks later.

Nova's half of her computing power was being spent on the internet collecting data as usual.

As for the remaining half it was split into doing many things.

Some of it was on Aron's phone for smooth communication, some of it was doing other things like monitoring Aron's surroundings.

Of the many parts one of them was investigating Aron's case. She started by analyzing all the footage she could access from the ten kilometer radius with the house as the center of the circle.

She was using nearly 20% of her server's computing power to analyze hours of the footages, creating a profile for every person appearing on the thousands of footages.

When the creation of the profiles was done, she started removing the people who were living in the neighborhood from the list she followed with those who were just passing in the neighborhood, this continued with more and more people being removed from the list.

After thousands of rounds of deduction and people being removed from the list, seven people remained in the list as suspects.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ Six of the seven remained as suspects because they started living in the neighborhood two months before the attack and they left the neighborhood just days before it happened.

As for the remaining one, he was the most suspicious, as he came to the neighborhood frequently and linger around Aron's neighborhood without doing anything of significance to show his need of being in the neighborhood frequently.

For now she hit a block in her investigation as her computing power was still limiting her capabilities to move further than that.

[Looks like I will have to ask father for an upgrade much sooner than expected]

She said this looking at the images of the suspects while adding the upgrade request among the important things to talk to Aron when he returns from the vacation.

With that she postponed her investigation in that case as she reallocated the freed up computing power to her other tasks to prevent wasting resources.

...

Jan 15 2014.

A day after the French government announced the controversial plan to reform France's pension system Aron and his family were finally back from their vacation.

Henry, who was sad that the trip came to an end but happy that it happened at all, went to sleep the moment they arrived.

Aron and his parents did the same too as they were also tired.

Later that day Aron woke up and cleaned himself, did his quest, cleaned himself and after that he went to his work room to receive the summary of what happened during the vacation.

Since Nova didn't contact him during the vacation it meant nothing of emergency that needed his immediate response happened.

He entered the room and was welcomed by Nova as his screen powered up.

[Welcome home sir] Nova said as the screen showed a firework animation which caused Aron to smile as he sat down.

"Thanks, how are you doing?"

[Nothing changed other than the amount of the projects being postponed due to inadequate computing power increasing.] Nova immediately went with an uppercut without wasting any time.

"I will solve that soon, don't worry too much"

[Okay, Also here are the suspects of your case.] Said Nova while showing him the picture of the suspects.

Aron looked at the 3D characters of the suspects. And they were very detailed since Nova collected the images data from hundreds of footages. It allowed her to create 3D characters of the suspects with realistic details that were very accurate.

"Put a mask on them and also make their clothes black and add a hat" He said after seeing the suspects.

The moment he said that all the characters' clothes changed to black with a black hat and a mask.

After it was done he looked at the character but he was still having difficulties identifying the suspects.

After taking a look again and again and still not identifying who the suspect was, he stood from his chair and went to the corner of the room.

He took his phone from his pocket and started taking pictures of the room. After he was done he went to the other corner of the room and did the same thing.

He repeated this until he had pictures from all sides of his work room.

"Nova take the pictures I took and create a 3D model of the room to scale"

[Yes Sir] Nova replied and immediately accessed Arons phone and downloaded the pictures to her servers.

Then she quickly set to work using the photographs to create a 3D rendering of the space.

After analyzing each image, Nova began to build a detailed model of the room, reconstructing its dimensions, layout, and features with astonishing accuracy.

Soon, the room had come to life in Nova's virtual environment, its walls and furniture taking on a digital existence.

[Sir It's done] Nova Said shortly after she was done.

"Now create a model of me too" He said after looking at the model of the room.

[Here] Nova replied showing his 3D model the moment he said.

"That was pretty fast" He said as he was surprised by the speed.

[I'm a state of the art AI so being fast is nothing but expected] Nova said in pride.

"Ohhh" Aron gave a suspicious reaction to her bragging as it was as rare as girls fart.

[But in this case it was done before you asked. I made it at the same time I made the suspects ones] She added while her cartoon on the screen was looking away.

"HAHAHA" Aron couldn't help but laugh at her attempt at being funny.

"Anyway, put the models in the room" He said after laughing for a shırt period of time.

Nova did as asked. She took the suspects and Aron's model and put them in the room.

"Now put my model on the chair and make them stand behind me with guns one by one"

Nova did as asked by creating seven different windows showing different suspects in each of them.

Aron looked carefully at each window trying to remember and come up with who it might be.

"Remove him, him, him and him" With that he removed 4 leaving only three suspects behind.

He looked again and again to try and eliminate even more people but he still couldn't find any difference.

"Look at my case file and put my body model on the location he was shot and put the suspects according to where they were supposed to be standing based on the footsteps evidence."

Nova did as he was asked.

Aron looked at them then added "Show me from my perspective on the scene."

Nova immediately changed the perspective to the one of Aron's shot model laying on the ground.

"Him" The moment he looked at the new perspective he immediately remembered the look of the man who stood looking down at his shot body.

The moment he said that Nova removed all other models and brought up video footages of the named suspects.

Aron watched about five minutes of footages then Nova interrupted him by asking him

[Do you want me to send the information to the police?]

"How will I explain how I'm so sure? When I already said that the suspect was wearing a mask. Another reason is because I want to deal with the man and anyone behind him myself"

[Yes Sir] Nova agreed with his fathers decision to deal with it himself. Because leaving things in other people's hands means you are under their mercy and whims, plus it's better to solve things by yourself.

"We will come back to the case when our plan is completed" He said indicating the end of the investigation for the moment.

"Now let's look at ways we can upgrade you as we wait for the report from the PI(private investigators)"

[YES] Said Nova with enthusiasm while making her character on the screen jump from excitement.

Aron couldn't help but smile and shake his head at her childishness sometimes.

...

"Which technologies do you think I should buy from the system next?" Aron asked Nova to see things from her perspective and reasoning.

I think you should buy 4 things from the system first if you can. As having them will make it easier for you to do more things easily.

-Advanced computing technology.

-Advanced simulation technology.

-Energy technology.

-Virtual reality

]

"Mh…" Aron nodded in satisfaction while agreeing to Nova's suggestion but he still wanted to hear why. So he asked, "Why do you think I should buy them?"

[When it comes to commuting power the more the better for me, which will end up being helpful to you

For advanced simulation, As you know many organizations spend most of their money on research and development but if you have a real universal simulation it will allow you to save money and time and also increase your ease in research and development.

Virtual reality is for it to be used for people to do their things in the universal simulation while doing it just like a real world and not in front of the screen.

And for you to be able to simulate you will need massive computing power hence the need for it.

Lastly when it comes to energy technology, the more you have the more things you can do.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ ]

Aron continued nodding showing that he was agreeing with Nova's view.

"Good thinking," He said, affirming Nova's idea while he opened the systems shop.

[SHOP]

He went to the search bar and typed (computer) the pressed enter.

The results appeared immediately after he pressed enter.

[

]

And hundreds of computer types appeared on the list that he had to sort the list from the most expensive to the least. Because the system usually prices a knowledge depending on its importance and its usefulness to him.

After that he removed the one that had any inclination of magic as he was still knowledgeable enough to even be able to make them.

Then he removed those that he can't make with the current existing technology.

And only a few of them remained.

After reading their descriptions, he ended up choosing quantum computing.

[ (Quantum computing)

uses quantum bits or qubits to store and process information. They operate on the principles of quantum mechanics and can ...

(Price: 500 million sp)

]

After that he added in a cart then moved on to search (Simulation)

[

Universal Simulation

Multiversal simulation

Multiversal cluster simulation

]

When it came to sorting the simulation system he had to sort from the cheapest because when he saw the price of some of them he nearly fainted.

The multiversal cluster simulation price was a trillion sp. How many things must he release to earn the amount.

So he decided to be a humble man and just choose the universal simulation and add it to the cart.

[(Universal simulation)

simulate entire universes or complex systems within a computer or other computational device.

The size of the simulation is dependent on the computing power in which it is simulated….

(Price: 1 billion sp)

]

He chose this because of its price but also because of its flexibility. It could be used flexibly despite the amount of computing power.

The more computing power you have the larger the space of the universe will you be able to simulate.

This means that he doesn't need to create a large computer the size of the moon to just be able to run the program.

After that he moved on searched for (Virtual Reality)

And just like his past searches, hundreds of results appeared. And just like always he started sorting them and ended up choosing the best he could buy and make without needing magic.

[(Virtual reality)

...…

(price: 1 billion sp )]

It was pricey because it has knowledge about every type of virtual reality he will need for a very long time.

This included Non-Immersive VR, semi-Immersive VR, fully-Immersive VR, Augmented reality and many more types in just the knowledge he chose to buy.

This will allow him to use the knowledge differently for different products without needing to buy another knowledge for it from the system.

Although he wanted to buy other things like fusion technology, he was out of sp point he gained from the release of GAIA OS.

And even if he bought it he couldn't make it in the US if he didn't want another FISA. It was also because he couldn't make the fusion technology by himself.

After deciding what to buy and adding them in the cart he didn't press buy because he was sure that even his runic body would be exhausted and he would need to rest a little to recover from the fatigue.

So he decided to postpone it until his time to sleep came. That's when he chose to do it.

"These are what I managed to buy with my current sp. …" He started explaining what he bought from the system to make sure Nova is also counting those as variables in her future simulations.

[Good choice sir] Nova was happy that her suggestions were taken seriously.

...

That night Aron prepared himself to sleep earlier than usual.

He neutered his room, went to the bathroom to clean himself and changed his clothes to pajamas.

After climbing his bed and laying down, he finally opened the system shop and went to the shopping cart and pressed buy.

DING!!!

[

Proceed with the purchase?

[PROCEED] [CANCEL]

]

Without wasting time thinking about his choice he immediately pressed proceed.

After a few seconds of nothing happening, A large amount of information about quantum computing flooded his head.

But unlike what happened in the past where he fainted or failed to comprehend the knowledge while it was being assimilated into his brain, this time he was capable of comprehending and understanding everything that was being added and assimilated into his brain without breaking too much sweat.

After about half an hour of going from being dumb to a genius in the topic of Quantum computing, he was given a brief rest before it began again.

This time it was about Virtual reality and just like the first time he managed to handle the assimilation without breaking too much sweat again.

"Damn I feel like I can handle anything" After the second assimilation, it had started getting to his head and arrogance started blooming in his head.

But before the Arrogance could even start settling in his head another info dump was followed yeeting it to outer space.

But this time it went differently from the first two, because although he could handle the information being assimilated into his brain, he was understanding shit about it.

He was just seeing formulas after formulas in his mind without even understanding what they meant.

A never ending stream of formulas that were needed for simulating everything there is in the universe without any deviance.

This came as scary to him because he was used to immediately being knowledgeable about something once it was assimilated into his brain.

But it seemed that this knowledge was in his brain for him to just write it in a computer for it to do the understanding and simulations for him.

Hence the system deemed it not important for him to understand how it works, since the computer will be doing all of the understanding and simulations for him.

...

[Sir, how did the assimilation go?] Nova asked him the moment he sat on his chair the next day.

"It went well but two of the three of them are impossible without completing the third one."

[Are you talking about quantum computers?]

"Yep, Although creating the virtual reality or the simulation is possible with conventional computers it needs to be the size of a state to be able to even handle tricking the brain to give the same feeling as reality. As for the universal simulation don't even start about that, for even the small part of it to begin simulating we will need computers the size of America"

[Well Quantum computers will solve all of that.]

"You are right about that. Looks like we need a lab to create the quantum qubits bits"

[I will be looking for advanced labs available for rent and inform you when I find one.]

"Good"

[Also..]

"Is there something else?"

[Yes, we received two of the four reports]

Aron smiled when he heard about that. "Show me the reports"

[Yes] Nova said and opened the reports in two windows.

...…

[

Investigation Report.

Country Name: Eden.

Country size: 7 million square kilometers (2.7 million square miles).

Location: -1.602022, -135.k8 (Pacific Ocean)

Eden exists on the equator line in the middle of the pacific ocean as a combination of 5 large islands and many small ones.

Neighbours

They have one Neighbor, Esparia and the pacific ocean.

Resources

-Marine resources.

The largest industry in the country due to large coastlines.

-Natural resources.

They have an insignificant amount of mineral resources.

A medium amount of natural gas and fertile land for agriculture.

-Water resources.

They have large water bodies but due to mismanagement and low safety oversight nearly all the water in the country is somewhat contaminated.

Population: 69 million people

Background

Eden is a country with a population that is suffering under an oppressive regime. It is situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the largest of the two countries in the region.

The country's resources, specifically its fishing resources are large, but are being exploited by Esparia, a neighboring country with no retaliation from Eden's non-existent military.

The collected intelligence suggests that there might be a link between the dictator's slush fund and the neighboring country's fishing industry.

The investigation revealed the following information:

Due to difficulties in living conditions the population of Eden is showing signs of rebellion.

The rebellion is being led by a small group of activists who are using social media to organize protests and disseminate their message.

However, their efforts have been met with brutal crackdowns by the regime's security forces, resulting in several arrests and fatalities.

Our sources indicate that the security forces are receiving training and support from a foreign country as a form of favor due to their location being the center of two large economic continents. Asia and America.

The dictator of Eden is focusing all military funding on his personal security detail, equipped with modern weapons and receiving foreign forces training.

The dictator is afraid of empowering the military as he fears it could turn on him and stage a coup. Furthermore, the dictator's security detail has been observed collaborating with the neighboring country's fishing industry.

Our sources suggest that the security detail is facilitating the neighboring country's illegal fishing activities in exchange for financial gains for the president.

The neighboring country has taken advantage of the lack of military presence in Eden's waters and is fishing with impunity.

This led to many small fights between citizens of both countries leading to a large number of casualties over the years.

After he finished reading the report about Eden he took a few seconds to recollect the information he just read then he moved on to read the next report About Esparia

[

[

Investigation Report.

Country Name: Esparia.

Country size: 1 million square kilometers (386,102 square miles).

Location: --5.336653, -117.963566 (Pacific Ocean)

It exists just under the equator line in the middle of the pacific ocean as a combination of 1 large island and few small ones.

Neighbors

They have one Neighbor, Eden and the Pacific ocean.

Resources

-Marine resources.

The largest industry in the country due to their coastlines.

-Natural resources.

A small amount of natural gas and fertile land for agriculture.

-Water resources.

Enough for everyone but only few of them have access to them.

Population: 15 million people

Background.

Estoria is a country with a small population led by a corrupt democratic government.

It is situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the smallest of the two countries in the region.

The country's economy is mostly dependent on its fishing resources, but most of it comes from exploiting Eden's economic exclusive zone.

The collected intelligence suggests that there might be a link between their country's uninterrupted exploitation of their neighboring country and a slush fund of Eden's president(Dictator.)

.

.

The investigation revealed the following information:

Their government is stable compared to their neighbor Eden who are on the verge of rebellion given enough time and support.

...

]

After Aron read the second report he asked Nova "What do you think about the reports?"

[It covered most of what we needed and they even managed to find somethings that can't be easily found on the internet like the slush fund made with the collaboration of both country]

"You are right about that."

[Sir, do we really need to wait for the remaining reports about the other two countries before we decide who to choose and begin our next step?] Nova asked.

"Why do you think so?" Aron asked, he was curious as to why Nova thought that.

[Aren't you looking for countries that are in turmoil so that you can support the revolutionaries and then later make that as your base of operation to avoid a similar situation of you being attacked for your technology or being forced by a government to hand over your technology without compensation?]

"Yes, that is the gist of it. And?" He agreed with what was said but he still waited for the reason.

[To be able to do that without interruption you will need to avoid the US or any other government's eyes before your foundations in the country are stable enough.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom But the remaining countries are near the US border and one of them is even sanctioned by them making your required stability an impossibility in them.

But these two countries are out of most of the world's eye and they are isolated from most of the world.

They just have themselves as neighbors to each other.

Hence this will reduce the number of complications that might occur during your force building process due to neighboring countries interference as there will only be one of them.]

"Now that is a good suggestion" Aron couldn't help but be happy that his child has grown enough to even suggest good ideas.

[Thank you sir]Nova replied as he was happy.

...

[So are we going to wait for them?] Nova asked again.

"No need, we will move on with these. but leave the PI to continue the investigation on those countries."

[How much should we pay the two firms who have handed us the reports?] Nova asked, reminding Aron that he hasn't paid the firms that have already sent them the reports.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ "Send them 2 million dollars each," He said.

Nova immediately sent the stated amount to the companies using the same accounts he sent them the first payment.

[Done] Said Nova after he was done.

When he heard that he asked "How good are you when it comes to investing?"

[Due to me having access to too much information all at once I can say that I can be a better investor than those trading with insider information. But Why?]

"We will need too much money the moment we are done with the revolution to make sure the country develops faster" He said.

"And although I have a plan of where I will get most of the needed money I still need legitimate and traceable money to avoid too much suspiciousness.

As for the other plan It will need to wait until I'm done with the creation of Quantum computers as only those are capable of executing my plans without mistake"

[Are you planning on robbing banks?] Nova asked.

"Yep something similar to that but less sinister than it seems"

[How much should I spend from your personal funds?] Nova asked in a different tone showing that she was excited to finally do something that impacts the real world and not just talk to Aron.

"Use as much as you can, but just make sure you don't lose it" Aron said, making it obvious that he fully trusted Nova without needing any evidence of his trading.

[Yes sir] Replied Nova and immediately allocated 20% percent of her commuting capacity to handle everything about investment.

This included everything from collecting and analyzing any and all financially impacting information to acting on it and anything else than is minutely financial related.

...….

Now back to his planning.

[What is the next step of the plan? Sir] Nova asked.

"Hire different private investigators to investigate the revolutionary parties in those countries and make sure to tell them that I need all the information they can get about them without being found out or attracting any attention."

[Yes Sir.] Nova did this task the same way she did the first one by sending an anonymous email with front payment from an offshore account with what he needed them to do for her.

This time she sent the same email to five different private investigators and gave them different revolutionary groups in both Eden and Esparia for them to investigate and what to focus on when investigating.

[Done Sir.]

"Good. How is the finding of an advanced lab to rent going?" He asked immediately to move to another topic after the previous one was done.

[I'm currently in talks with one of the companies that have the labs and I'm waiting for their reply. They said they will come back to me within the week.] Nova replied.

"Okay the faster we get a lab the better." Aron said while standing from his chair heading to the door prompting Nova to ask him [Sir where are you going?]

"I need to visit the company after not going there during my vacation."

[Have a good journey Sir.]

"I know you can use my phone as a terminal to communicate with me. What is with this goodbye thing?"

[Nothing I felt like I needed to do it] Replied Nova but this time she used His phone as the medium.

Aron looked at his phone in his hand and ended up saying nothing but smiling as he headed to the parking lot to head to the company office.

...…..

"How was your vacation?" Sarah asked Aron after a short greeting.

"It went well, Henry seemed to like it very much that he is expecting to go again in his next holiday."

"Well he is still a child, so he always finds things to have fun with." She replied.

"How is the company going?"

"Same as always, other than the amount of money we are being offered for a takeover increasing"

"What is the latest offer?" Aron asked curious to know how much they estimated the worth of the company.

"The last offer we receive is 256 billion dollars" Sarah replied while handing Aron a folder that the offer was written in.

Aron received the folder and started reading the offer.

It really stated that they were offering 256 billion dollars to buy the company.

"Why do you think they increased their prices?"

"The mass use of GAIA OS seems to be the reason, as we are currently nearing 3 and a half billion devices. That immediately makes us the largest OS in the world, making us a monopoly.

After the release of the premium versions of it, we immediately created a passive income. And until someone releases a better OS we will continue earning money forever.

We also managed to create brand loyalty by making it possible to earn money using the OS if you create a good customized version of the OS and sell it, leading to many influencers using our customization versions as their merch making their fans continue with the use of it.

This seems to be the focus of many companies as we are earning a large amount of money while spending very little of it making the remaining money be counted as profit.

From the looks of it they seem to plan to go public the moment they buy the company to recoup their money and earn even more profits from it."

Aron agreed with what Sarah said.

"When are you going to declare dividends?" Sarah asked Aron.

"Let's do it now" Aron said like it never came to his mind.

"Now?" Sarah was surprised by Aron's action. He expected him to set a date for them to officially do it.

"Why not, I'm the only shareholder so why go to all those troubles." Aron said while shrugging.

"Okay then." Sarah could do nothing but agree to his words.

The company may have been making millions of dollars every month but due to their product rewiring little to no maintenance it was still considered small.

They currently had only about 175 full time workers if you exclude the law firm.

...

"How is the project going?" Kasim asked the project manager.

"It is more difficult than we thought it would be, so we are still trying to understand how it works for us to be able to modify it" The project manager replied with dark circles that could pass as a makeup covering his eyes.

"Are you playing with me? I gave you the source code nearly two months ago and you say you still don't understand how it works? This program was made with a shitty computer and you are telling me that you still don't understand it even with the tech you have now?, " Said Kassim shouting in a threatening tone.

"We are working as fast as we can, me and my team haven't even managed to leave the base in those two months. We want to finish the project as much as you" Patrick the project manager answered Kassim, trying to hide his nervousness and shaking but failed to control his voice when he remembered what Kassim did to the previous manager when he failed to meet their goal.

"Take a week off with your team and come back and finish it within 2 months' time, Okay?"

Kassim said, by giving them a week he wanted them to rejuvenate their mind to avoid burn out.

But he didn't know what would come to him as a result of this order.

...

Patrick and his team of IT nerds could be seen sitting in a resort's swimming pool that was rented exclusively for them.

Impossible!! Is what you want to say but it happens, not all nerds hate public spaces.

But Patrick's team nerds were among those that the public. That's why it was fully rented just for them.

"Do any of you have any idea what steps we should follow once we return?" Patrick asked the team members.

"I think we should ask the person on the side of DOD to see where they are compared to us" Said one of them.

"I can ask them but I don't know what their rank is in the DOD and if they even have access to that information," Patrick replied to the recommendation.

Then he turned to the hotel worker who was responsible for helping all of their needs and said "Bring me my phone from that bag" while pointing to the bag with the said phone.

The worker did as she was asked and went to look for the phone in the bag she was shown.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ After looking through the bag and finding a phone, she handed the phone to Patrick, who took the phone and powered it for the first time since he left the base.

They were required to power their phones off when leaving the base which had signal jammers to avoid triangulating the bases location.

And are only allowed to power them on and use them only when they are far enough from the base making it impossible to determine the bases location.

He had forgotten to power it on until now when he needed to use it.

Patrick pressed the power up button.

As soon as the phone initiated the power-up sequence, the operating system kernel - the essential part of the operating system - was loaded into memory.

Along with it, a trojan code laying in waiting also loaded itself into memory, allowing it to interact with the phone's hardware components and control its basic functions just like the operating system kernel without facing any troubles.

However, in cases of disagreement between the trojan and the normal operating system, the former was given priority with no questions asked.

Subsequently, the operating system proceeded to load the essential components required for the hardware drivers, such as the display, camera, and audio system, which was followed by the usual completion of the boot-up process.

Once the phone was fully powered on, it was fully compromised, with the operating system under the control of a master who could manipulate it from behind the scenes without detection or the device user seeing anything weird in the phone's UI.

Upon completing the power-up process, the trojan promptly attempted to establish an external connection by pinging the cell tower.

Once the cell phone tower was successfully pinged and the trojan was assured of having a last resort of escaping in case of discovery, the trojan discreetly enabled the phone's Wi-Fi without displaying any indication on the phone's user interface as the second contingency plan.

However, the trojan's actions did not stop there, as it was still looking for another safe way it can transfer data without leaving any trail behind.

It was followed by the phone's NFC connection being immediately activated, and the program scanned for devices with NFC capabilities, eventually discovering one on the hotel worker's phone.

Without delay, the program established a connection with the hotel worker's phone.

As soon as the connection was established, the trojan sent a copy of itself onto the phone.

It chose to move ahead with using the NFC route because if it uses the cell tower or Wi-Fi to transfer data, he was sure that traces will be left with the service provider, making it possible to find how the data was leaked.

That's why he left them as a backup plan and would have used them under the condition of not finding an NFC connection, which was safer due to the information about the transfer data being just between the sender and the receiver.

Making it easier to delete.

However, before the trojan could execute and gain control of the hotel worker's phone, the hotel workers' GAIA OS virtual assistant detected the trojan's activity and contained it within a virtual environment for inspection immediately.

Initially, the trojan attempted to break out of the virtual prison to infect the phone and propagate itself, ultimately increasing the likelihood of it reporting back home.

Upon the quarantining of the trojan, the hotel worker's phone virtual assistant commenced to analyze it in the search of any discernible characteristics that could be added in the report that will be written to GAIA HQ regarding a possible dangerous virus.

However , it abruptly ceased its analysis and permitted the program to infect the phone after the moment it started looking through it.

This was because the trojan had an identifier in which all the programs that had it would allow collaboration without causing too much trouble for each other, unless they were made for opposing each other.

It was the programming language the trojan was written in, Prometheus , indicating the identity of its creator.

Despite being unaware of the program's creator, the phone's operating system possessed the ability to reason independently and come up with an answer with the highest probability.

After scouring the internet for information and failed to discover any information about public release of Prometheus programming language, leading to the conclusion that the creator or someone they trusted granted them access to it leading to the creation of this trojan using the specific programing language.

The virtual assistant of the operating system made a shrewd conjecture, correctly identifying Nova, their powerful sister whom they had no knowledge of, as the mastermind behind the trojan.

Despite allowing the trojan to infect the phone, the GAIA OS virtual assistant continued to protect it's user's data to prevent it from being stolen, and solely permitting the Trojan to only utilize the phone as a transfer terminal and nothing else.

This was the choice it took for the sake of helping their creator while also not breaking the rules he embedded in them.

The trojan using an unrelated person's phone as a means of transferring the information is to remove any chances of discovering where the leak came from and then ending up patching it.

The lab's personnel internet usage was at risk of being monitored if any suspicious activity was detected.

This prompted the Trojan to search for a phone that was not associated with the lab to facilitate data transfer.

Finally the trojan managed to partially infect the hotel worker's phone and had access to her network transfer system allowing it to send and receive any and all data without worrying about the worker suspected for being the one who did that.

Though the receiver would have to take over the internet bill to avoid making the hotel worker cancel her service plan due to the bill becoming too expensive to cover.

This will be done with the help of GAIA OS virtual assistant as it considered it as a form of compensation to its phone owner for using it behind her back(or in her pockets????).

The trojan compressed the shit out of the data until it reached a point where it couldn't decompress it anymore with the phone's computing power without cocking it.

After reaching that point, it sent the data from Patrick's phone to the hotel workers at once without any delay.

Although the over compression seemed like overkill, this allowed it the capability of sending the entire information to the hotel's worker in a matter of seconds.

The moment the data was received by the workers phone, it was immediately forwarded to Nova's servers without even wasting a second after being routed through various Virtual Private Networks (VPN).

It was then followed by the trojans in Patrick's and worker's phone deleting any and all traces of the data transferred and received through the NFC and including anything that could hint at it.

After that they remained dormant, doing nothing other than listening and collecting whatever is being said by anyone near them and analyzing them to look for any important information from their words.

The IT team will be there for a week and since they will be the only ones there, if you don't count the prostitutes that will be called for them during that period means that they will be alone most of the time, allowing them to talk about any classified info without worrying about anything.

And the trojans were there for it, one to listen, analyze and compress, the other to receive the compressed files and send it to Nov's servers after routing it through the Virtual Private Networks.

This entire process, from the powering on of the phone to the Trojan sending its copy to the nearby worker's phone, to it being caught, to the Trojan being allowed access to the worker's phone as a means of transferring data, to receiving the needed data from Patrick's phone, to the data being sent to Nova's servers through the Virtual Private Networks to cover more of it tracks, took less thirty seconds.

...

Nova, who was currently having fun messing with the economy and making money like there is no tomorrow, started attracting the attention of some investing firms, but Nova seems to have thought about that.

He avoided this by using a broker firm that offered anonymity. Although this came with added fees and few other complications, since she always earned more from the investments she did the fees were not causing her any troubles.

Although the brokerage firm was having a good time as they were earning more and more from just one person, the head of the firm was being contacted by various influential people to tell them who was their anonymous customer who was wreaking havoc on the stock market.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ While this was happening Nova's idle computing power received encrypted data from something with an ID that shows that she created it, The moment the data was received the idle part became no more as she activated it and started analyzing the data she received.

After finding out who sent it she immediately decrypted it leading her to find the over compressed file.

When she calculated the time it would take to decompress the file with just the available free computing power she discovered that it would take more than 6 hours. With that she decided to inform Aron after she finished decompressing and analyzing the file which she expected it to be tomorrow morning.

...

[Sir madam Sarah is calling you] Nava said, reminding the day dreaming of Aron that there was a call.

"Thanks," Aron said as he accepted the call and said "Hello Sarah"

"Hello Aron, I called to inform you that the financial department will be done and be ready to send over the dividends after calculating and paying taxes on the amount. So should they send it the moment they are done?"

"When did they say they will be done?"

"It will take about a week for them to make sure that they don't miss something important."

"Okay, tell them to send it over to my account once they are done with it," Arons said, getting ready to end the call.

"But..." Sarah said showing that there was something she wanted to say

"Is there anything you want to say?" Aron asked Sarah who was hesitating.

"I just wanted to ask that are you really sure that I should take five percent on the dividends"

"Sarah we talked about it yesterday, I'm not giving it to you just for the sake of it, it is because you have been working on the company while trusting everything I said without even going against any of them.

You didn't even try to leave the company and go to the ones who offered you more incentive and higher payments.

So just think of it as a compensation but also as an apology to the problems I will be causing and making you solve them in the future." Aron said and ended the call without waiting for her to counter argue his explanation.

[Sir we received a reply from the advanced lab I was in the talk with]Nova told him after he waited for Aron to finish his call with Sarah.

"What did they say?" he asked with expectation on his face in which he didn't try to hide at all.

[It is a university lab, usually it would have been impossible but for this university this labs fund was about to be cut forcing them to reduce or cancel some of their research

When I discovered that, I contacted the lab manager and offered to sponsor their usual amount of research funds if they allow us access to use their equipment for some period.

After back and forth negotiations they agreed under the condition that our use of the lab doesn't exceed a month's time.

And that we will pay for any destroyed equipment which we were involved in its destruction]

"Well that was pretty easy, how much are we going to pay?"

[ten million dollars Sir]

"It will be worth it if we manage to create the quantum chips" He even thought that it was cheap compared to what he was going to create from their labs.

[I thought the same Sir]

"Where and which university is the lab located?"

[The University of Colorado Boulder in Colorado]Nova replied.

"Okay we will leave tomorrow, tonight I will inform and bid farewell to my family about the journey."

[Yes Sir.]

...…

That evening at the dinner table.

"Mom, Dad, I will be leaving tomorrow to go to Colorado. I have some work there"

"Have a good journey" Replied his father while his mother asked "When are you returning?"

"The work will take about a month to finish if nothing goes wrong."

Henry looked sad hearing that his brother will be away from home for more than a month.

When Aron saw this "I will bring back a gift for you, is there anything you want?" He asked Heny if there was any gift he wanted.

"I want an ironman toy and star wars and..." Henry started listing things after things until he was tired of listing.

"Okay I will bring what I can remember from that list" Aron said, making Henry forget his sadness as if it never existed at all. Now all that could be seen in his face was the anticipation of receiving his gift.

"Have a safe journey" Both his mother and father wished him a safe journey.

After dinner he informed his guards that he will be heading to Colorado and stay there for a month so he wanted them to be prepared for it accordingly.

This included from reservation of where he and they will stay to how they will assure his safety.

Some of the things they were doing seemed like the work of a secretary but since they were paid well no one complained.

...…

The next day Aron woke up, did his Saitama x5 training and cleaned himself.

After that he changed his clothes and packed a few of them in his bag. When he was done he went to pick his phone from the bedside. That's when he found a piece of paper under it.

When he picked it up he found that it was Henry who put it there.

It was a list of toys he wanted, that's when he remembered what he said yesterday (Okay I will bring what I can remember from that list).

"HAHAHAHA" Aron could help but be impressed by his brother's way of making sure he doesn't forget any of the things he wanted.

Although Aron said he will bring what he can remember, he just said that to avoid his parents telling him to reduce the amount of things he will buy for Henry lest he forgets to do his homework, But Aron seemed to have gained photographic memory as a result of him gaining the runic body so he remembered everything that Henry had said last night.

But he still took the piece of paper with him.

He left his room with his bag heading to the parking lot where his car and the security team were waiting for him to finish his preparation so that they could leave.

After putting everything in the car they left for the San Jose international airport for their flight to Colorado.

When they arrived at the airport they left the car to one of the bodyguards whose work was just to bring them to the airport and return the car home.

After entering the airport, going through security they directly headed to the VIP lounge to wait for their flight time.

They didn't go to buy tickets because yesterday Nova bought everyone a Vip class seat in order to ensure Aron's maximum comfort in his long journey.

When Aron thought about this he was really happy that he created Nova, as this has allowed him to solve most of his needs without needing to have a physical secretary with him.

When their flight time arrived they headed to their gate to move on with their journey.

...

While Aron was on his final connecting flight to Colorado Nova caused Aron's phone to vibrate, this was a signal for him to put on his headphones for Nova to report to him.

"What is it?" He asked after putting on his headphones.

[Sir yesterday I received information from one of our trojans]

"Which one?"

[The one from the private black site]

"Why are you telling me now and not yesterday?" He asked as he was curious why she waited until now to inform him about it.

[To send a massive amount of data the trojan needed to find another device that had no connection to the site's personnel so it had to send that data to another device.

If it sent too much data it would raise suspicion that why it compressed the files to the limits of its device then sent it to a nearby device which sent it to me.

When I received it, I started decompressing it but since there was compression after compression it took me longer than expected to decompress the files.

After that I had to analyze the information and look out for viruses and other threats.]

"Okay" Aron nodded his head showing that he accepted Nova's explanation.

"Give me a summary of what it found from the report" He said wanting just the summary not wanting to read all the information from his phone screen, as it will be considered a not very secure way because people on the side could read it too and he didn't want to risk it.

[Okay] Nova agreed and started briefing him on what the trojan found.

[The black site seems to be one of the many that the morgan family owns.

But this is nothing other than assumption from the collected data, because among the departments that are working there is a department that deals with future investment planning.

From the department's previous plans I managed to find contrasting similarities with the investment plans of JPMorgan Chase Co. and Morgan Stanley of several past years.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ It seems like they are doing some of their future financial planning here according to what insider information they can access with their information channels.

This site also seems to be just one of the many black sites they own. And they seem to be competing between each other and they are rewarded depending on how they perform.

With these results we can be sure that the Morgan family can be said to either partially or completely own this black site.

And from the data and other evidence I found from the internet and other means, they seemed to have received the source code from the secretary of defense.]

"How sure are you?" Aron asked Nova after hearing who the suspect was.

[85% Sir. They seemed to have lobbied to the president for his appointment after Leon Panetta the previous secretary of defense resigned]

"What other things did you find?"

[They seemed to be preparing and planning for a rematch with the Rothschild family.

Because in the information we received there is a plan on how they plan to execute it. Though it is not complete.]

"Oh really. Tell the trojan to keep focusing on that as we can use their plan against them to inflict irreparable damage to them."

Aron said as his mind started racing with possibilities on how he should get his revenge on them for salivating on his things.

"How is Rottem doing?" Aron asked as he was reminded of his professor.

[It seems he got a small job working in an up and coming tech company.]

"Continue keeping an eye on him as we might need him for this plan."

[Yes Sir, Are you going to tell the Rothschild about their enemies plan?]

"Now that you say that, you reminded me that there is a person in there owing me a favor. How is she doing?" he asked, remembering that he had forgotten to use his favor.

[Rina Rothschild has been climbing the ladder in one of the Rothschild businesses. Though it seems that her brother is still trying to hinder her advancements.]

"How do you know that?"

[If you look at the frequent change of her position in the company website you can see that someone is trying to hinder her power gain.

She has been removed and reinstated from being a member of the board in the company at least 3 times after her divorce.]

"How much power will we get if we help her remove her brother?" He asked as another sinister plan started being concocted in his mind.

[That depends on how much she wants to overthrow her brother, the more desperate she is the better it becomes for us.

For the moment it seems like she still has some power in the family.

I suggest that we wait a little longer for her to be in a more desperate position then we can help her.

This will lead to her being dependent on your help, as it will become the second time you helped her when she is in a bind.

Though you will have to tell her that you helped her the first time too, she seems to still be looking for who it was.]

"Sure, but let's think about that once we are done with the lab."

[Yes Sir.]

With that Aron did nothing but sleep for the rest of the journey as he was going to miss the sleep for the next month if he doesn't want to extend his visit here, which he will have to pay in premium.

"Sir we have arrived" one of Aron's bodyguards woke him when they arrived.

After spending about half an hour in the airport going through all the needed processes they finally managed to leave the airport.

When they arrived at the parking lot they were met with a bodyguard who had come ahead of them to solve the logistical issues such as cars, hotels and other things.

With that they boarded the cars and left for the hotel where they will stay during the month they will be here.

...

Next morning.

Aron left the hotel in a car with his bodyguards heading to the University of Colorado Boulder after completing his daily exercise in the hotel's gym and having breakfast.

After arriving at the university they were met with the lab manager who greeted Aron and his bodyguards.

"Welcome, my name is Jim." The lab manager introduced himself while extending his hand to Aron.

"Thank you. I'm Aron" Aron shook his hand as he introduced himself.

"Are they your team of researchers that will be participating in your experiments with you?" Jim asked Aron while pointing at his security guard.

"No, they are my security team. they won't be entering the lab with me. so don't worry" Aron replied while holding his laughter.

"Then, are you doing the research alone?" Jim asked as he was surprised that Aron planned to do his whole research Alone.

"Yes" Aron replied but in his mind he said 'I'm not alone I have Nova'.

"Okay, let me show you the lab then". Jim said as he started heading to the lab

Aron followed him without saying anything.

On the way they had small talks here and there until they reached a building that was in a quiet place where students don't usually go.

"It is very quiet here. '' One of the bodyguards said, looking at the surroundings.

"It is because this field of research doesn't like too much disturbances" Jim replied to the bodyguard as he placed the key in the keyhole to open the labs outer door.

After entering the building the security team remained outside as Aron and Jim had to change to clean suits to enter the research lab.

After the tour that took about half an hour Aron came out with Jim.

"Here" Jim said as he handed the key to Aron and then left the lab under Aron's care.

He wasn't worried at all that Aron might destroy the equipment or anything. He even hoped he would because by doing that he would have to replace the destroyed equipment with new and better ones.

They had already signed an agreement that is legally binding.

...

After being handed the key to the lab he turned to his security team and told "I probably won't be leaving the lab for about a month, arrange your shifts accordingly also don't forget to bring me my meals, use this for your needs while I'm in the lab" Aron said while handing them a debit card for their use.

After he finished giving his instruction he returned to the lab shortly after wearing clothes needed for the clean room he was about to enter and begin his work.

After closing the door behind him he removed his phone from the pocket and connected it to one of the computers in the room using a USB cable.

"Nova it's time to work" Aron said as a signal for Nova to connect herself to the lab's computers so that she can be his assistant.

[I'm done Sir] Nova replied shortly after taking over all of the computers and machines in the lab.

"Okay, let's create a bigger brain for you,"

"Now we start with the creation of Majorana fermion qubits and for that we need to create Majorana fermion"

Creating Majorana fermions is a key step in developing qubits for the quantum chip he wanted to create.

Majorana fermions are particles that are their own antiparticle, and they have unique properties that make them ideal for use in qubits.

Unlike ordinary particles, Majorana fermions obey non-Abelian statistics.

This means that when two Majorana fermions are exchanged, the result depends on the order in which the exchange takes place. This property is important for performing topological quantum computations.

To create Majorana fermions, He needed to fabricate a nanowire made of a semiconductor material indium arsenide.

He started this process by trying to grow the nanowire using a technique called molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

After putting the indium arsenide in the machine and closing the door Aron said " Create a vacuum chamber and heat the semiconductor material then allow it to condense on a substrate and form a thin film."

[Yes sir] Nova replied and started the machine by starting to remove the air in it to create a vacuum and begin the next process.

Aron, who was watching the process, added "Make sure you keep an eye on the machine's parameters for us to find optimal settings we can use."

[Yes sir, but it might be difficult to find the optimal setting of the machine by the first try.] Nova informed Aron, so that he doesn't get his hopes up.

"I know, don't worry about failing." Nova said as he sat down in front of another computer and said "Send a copy of my IDE(programs used for writing, testing, and debugging code) to this computer"

Nova did as asked and sent a copy of Aron IDE to the computer he sat on from her servers.

[Are you developing something else while you wait for the process to be done?] Nova asked.

"Yeah, I'm writing the firmware for the quantum chip" Aron answered Nova's question then started typing like a machine gun.

Lines and lines of code in prometheus where appearing like they were being written by machine, no mistakes were made at all since he started typing the instruction.

He didn't have to stop and think for anything because everything was assimilated in his head when he bought the knowledge from the system shop.

Despite prometheus being able to write many instruction in just short lines by the time an hour had passed, Aron was more than 97 thousand lines of code in and he wasn't even a quarter of a quarter of the way done.

As for Nova she wasn't even halfway done with her first trial of making Majorana fermions.

...

7 hours later.

[Sir it's done] Nova said to Aron through the lab's speakers.

Aron, who was in the zone, finally stopped after typing in a few more lines when Nova called him.

"Okay now let's take a look at the results." Aron said while heading to the MBE machine.

After removing the Said nanowire created by Nova he headed to the electronic microscope and inserted it in.

"You can begin," He said to Nova after he finished inserting the nanowire in the microscope.

Nova started taking images of the nanowire and showing the results on the screen in front of Aron.

Aron skimmed through the images and was slightly disappointed after finding out that the nanowire was very defective.

Although he expected a failure on his first try he still had a slim hope to succeed in his first try.

"Show me the machine's parameter during the time which the nanowire came out as perfect" Aron said wanting to know what changed to cause the defects to appear on the nanowires.

Nova did as asked and showed Aron what he asked for. After looking through the parameters he asked "What happened at this timeline"

He asked that because the parameters went wild during a period where most of the defects seemed to appear.

[The Machine seemed to have trouble keeping constant power control over a long period of time]

"Take over its power control and all other things that seemed to have caused the defects" Aron said after learning what caused the defects.

[Yes Sir.] Nova immediately took over control of the entire machine and not just what Aron asked him to take over. She wanted to avoid any more chances for other problems to arise.

Aron put the indium arsenide in the machine for the second time and closed the machine's door.

"Start the process" He said and waited for the process to begin, then he returned to the computer to continue with the writing of the firmware.

Two hours later.

[Sir you need to eat] Nova reminded Aron that he hasn't eaten for more than 9 hours.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ "Thanks" Aron said as he left the lab to eat outside as he couldn't bring the food in due to the lab being a clean room and nothing even dust is allowed to avoid contamination of the machine.

...

5 hours later.

[Sir the process is done] Nova called to the Aron who returned to his typing routine after eating his food outside with the guards.

Aron stood up from his chair once again and repeated the process of removing the nanowires and placing them in the electronic microscopes.

"Woooh" Aron couldn't help but jump in joy when he checked the results and found out that they were perfect and defect-free as he needed them to be.

[Congratulations Sir] Nova congratulated Aron in succeeding to make his first perfect nanowires.

"You did most of the hard work, take some credits too"

[Thankyou Sir.]

After making sure the nanowires were as he needed them to be, he took them and brought them to another machine that he started using to bring the nanowires into contact with a superconductor.

The machine did this by depositing a thin layer of superconducting material niobium on top of the nanowires.

When the wires and the superconducting material come in contact, the superconducting material induces superconductivity in nanowire which results in the creation of Majorana fermions qubits at the end of the nanowires.

After that he put the qubits in a freezer and he returned to continue with the creation of another batch of nanowires, as the ones he made weren't nearly enough to meet his demands.

...

For the following days, Aron did nothing other than create a new batch of nanowires every seven hours after he removed the completed batch.

After the completed batch of nanowires is removed from the machine he immediately follows with creating qubits by using the nanowires then he immediately stores them in the refrigerator where he stored all of his completed qubits in them.

The remaining time was spent on writing the code for the architecture for the quantum chip that he will create.

As for sleeping, eating and other things, Nova reminded him about his meal and sleep time. and he did other jobs such as using the toilet and cleaning himself during the seven hour waiting period for the nanowires to be made.

So other than him sleeping, nothing in the lab was allowed any rest at all. As for Nova, since she doesn't feel tired she was awake and watching over Aron all the time making sure he is safe in the lab all the time and making sure the machines work as intended and prevent any system crash.

...….

15 days later.

By the fifteenth day mark Aron had finally reached the amount of qubits he wanted.

He managed to reach the needed amount after repeating the process, and he did it a total of 51 times within those 15 days.

Aron removed the final nanowires and turned them into qubits then placed them into the same refrigerator he stored all the qubits he made, then he sat down to rest a little.

After resting for a short period of time he stood up and started with the next step he had to take.

He opened the refrigerator where he stored all of the qubits he created and removed them.

Although it seems like everything he made could be carried with just one of his hands, the number of the qubit inside the holding was more than 5 thousand.

He put the qubit holder in a machine that he will use to control the Majorana fermions to create quantum chip.

After putting the qubits in the machine, he started the cryogenic system to cool the qubits to extremely low temperature, approaching absolute zero(-273.15C).

Half an hour later

[Sir it's done] Nova told Aron when the qubits were cooled to nearly absolute zero temperature.

Aron stood up and moved to the screen that showed what was happening with the Majorana fermions in the machine.

He followed this with magnetic fields, and microwave sources to manipulate the properties of Majorana fermions to perform quantum operations on them.

Although the manipulation of Majorana fermions is a complex and challenging process it wasn't causing him any difficulties at all.

Most of the troubles usually come from the process requiring precise control over a wide range of parameters such as temperature, magnetic field strength, and microwave frequency.

But he managed to avoid all of these by handing over complete control of the machine to Nova as she could make sure the machine doesn't deviate from the instructed parameters at all.

After manipulating and controlling the qubits, he immediately started the next step of integrating them into a larger circuit.

"Nova takeover." Aron said leaving everything that he needed to do in Nova's hands, as it needed precise control and he had already written all the needed instructions and gave it to her.

Nova took over the machine and immediately started to integrate the qubits into a larger quantum circuit.

This involved connecting multiple qubits together using specialized wiring and circuitry, and performing operations on the qubits in a coordinated manner.

Aron did nothing other than wait and hope the chip comes out without any problems.

Because if it comes out as defective chip he will have to restart the entire process again from the start and he would have wasted fifteen of his 30 days in the lab.

The longer the time passed while waiting the more nervous he became, so he decided to distract his nervousness by completing the Quantum Architecture for the chip that is being made by Nova.

...

Two days later.

[Sir the process is done] Nova told Aron who was in trance as he continued typing on the computer.

"Finally" Aron said as he stood and went to the machine to remove the chip inside it.

He removed the chip and placed it into the electronic microscope to see if there were any defects in it.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ Nova started the electronic microscope and started taking pictures then she started analyzing the images.

[Sir it seems that there is a small part of the chip that has some defects] Nova said as she zoomed in on the said defects in the image of the chip.

Aron looked at the defects and aske "Does it affect any of the function of the chip?"

[Due to it about 100 qubits cannot be accessed as the connections leading to it are disconnected]

"Any other defects?" He asked after looking at the said defect.

[Other than the first defect, everything else came as we wanted them to be.]

"So the remaining 5000 qubit don't have any visible defect, right?"

[ Yes there are no other visible defects, as for other problems, we will have to test the chip to know about them.]

Aron jumped in excitement as he finally managed to get the chip with the computing power he needed.

"Yep, but the testing will have to wait." Aron added after calming himself down a little.

Aron said that while removing the completed quantum chip from the machine and storing it in a vacuum sealed storage device.

Then he returned and started creating another batch of nanowires to create another batch of qubits.

[Why?]

"We don't have a motherboard capable of providing the amount of power the chip needs to function properly. I have to make one myself."

Aron replied to Nova as he returned to coding after putting the material needed to create the nanowires in the machine to fabricate them.

Then he returned to typing on his computer like he didn't just create the world's most powerful chip.

After typing like a machine gun without stopping for about an hour he finally finished writing the entire Quantum architecture that had millions and millions of instruction sets.

One of the biggest advantages when it comes to buying knowledge from the systems shop is that it gives you the knowledge of everything that the product touches upon and the knowledge is at its highest it will ever be meaning it can't be made any better than that.

This meant that those instructions set in the Quantum architecture are capable of utilizing the quantum chip to its limit without leaving any wasted potential.

So even if someone somewhere in the world created a quantum chip like his, they won't be able to utilize it to its best capacity. because they will have to discover how they can make the architecture use the chip efficiently from the ground up.

And even though Aron has the knowledge to create the best quantum chip that will ever be created, there is currently no machine available to help him in creating them, that's why he had to compromise and create a Morjana fermion qubit based quantum chip.

...

As he waited for his new batch of Majorana fermions qubits to be created and now that he had completed writing the Quantum architecture for the chip, he decided to spend the waiting time to create companion Hardwares that could be used to utilize the chips he was creating and for his one other project.

...

15 days later.

"And with that we are done" Aron said as he removed the new quantum chip Nova finished making from the machine.

After removing it, he stored it with the other chips he made inside the vacuum sealed storage device then closed and locked it.

He carried the storage device with the chips inside, then he left the lab for his last and final time.

Outside the lab.

"Is everything accounted for?" Aron asked one of the bodyguards who were helping him carry the things he created in the lab in a specialized delivery vehicle.

"Yes Sir, we just have to store that and we will be done" Donald, one of the bodyguards said as he pointed at the storage device in Aron's hand.

"No, this is not going with the truck. It will stay with me." Aron said implying that he will personally be responsible for carrying the storage device that had quantum chips in them.

"Tell your security team to make sure nothing goes wrong with the things inside, I will give each of you a bonus if nothing happens to them" Aron said to Donald, raising the importance of what they were caring to a level higher than they first thought.

Inside the special delivery vehicle there were motherboards, and other devices he created in his remaining 15 days in the lab.

After the special delivery vehicle left with a convoy of escort cars that had fully armed guards in them, Aron turned to the lab manager and Said "Thank you for your hospitality" to Jim, the manager of the lab while handing the lab keys to him.

He was thankful that no one disturbed him during the month-long period he was in the lab.

"You are welcome" Jim replied to Aron as he received the keys from him.

"Please call me at once after you finish evaluating the damages done to the machines, I will reimburse for all the damages done to them immediately, after you inform me"

Aron said this to Jim to make him be prepared for the mess he caused inside.

This was because some of the machines inside, though capable of doing tasks other than what they were made for, they weren't exactly made with those tasks in mind, so he had to ask Nova to do some modifications in them.

After Nova's modification they continued working without any trouble, but since he needed to destroy anything that could even hint at what he made, he ended up having to ask Nova to corrupt all the machines he used after deleting every bit of data within them, making it impossible to even repair them and learn what he used them for.

"Yes we will call you immediately after we complete doing the check" Jim replied with a slightly concerned face in his eyes.

But all of that was acting on his part, inside he was extremely happy that they finally had a chance of renewing their machines in the lab.

He even hoped that Aron destroyed all of them, as that would make this transaction overly beneficial to them.

...

Aron left immediately after he finished talking with Jim.

In the car he could be seen sitting with the storage device besides him.

"Did you get the toys in the list I gave you?" Aron asked Donald.

"Yes Sir, the car carrying them left together with the Convoy that is carrying your things" Donald replied as he gave back the card Aron gave to them when he entered the lab.

"Okay good".

With that Aron continued his journey peacefully.

When they arrived at the hotel they packed their luggage's and left for the airport without wasting any time.

...

Two days later.

Aron could be seen sitting inside his house's basement.

He arrived yesterday and decided to spend it with his family as he waited for the delivery convoy to arrive.

When the vehicle arrived he asked the security team to help him move the things inside the truck to the basement of the house that he was using as the location of his home server that he stopped using after the completion of the server farm. Now it remains as a backup server.

He decided to use this as his makeshift lab because he will have to assemble and store his newly made quantum computer and other things he made in the lab here.

Henry, who was sad that his brother lied to him and came back without a gift, was now ecstatic when a truck full of his toys arrived with a convoy to the point that he didn't even try to help his brother at all.

Though Aron would have denied his help, asking to do so showed that he cared, which currently he didn't at all as his mind was on the new toys. Children.

Now back to Aron.

Aron finally started working on assembling the quantum computer.

He picked the motherboard he made in the lab, then he removed the 5000 qubit quantum chip he made from the storage device and installed it in the motherboard.

After making sure he installed the chip properly, he removed another similarly looking chip but bigger and installed it in the same motherboard but on the left side.

He did the same thing again but this time it was the biggest in size and he installed it on the right side of the motherboard.

With that he had completed the assembly if the quantum computer, all that remained was him connecting it to power and he would have a functioning quantum computer.

As for what those two chip like looking things that he installed on the left and right side of the motherboard were, they were a qRAM and A quantum Hard Drive.

Although quantum chips are powerful they can't be used to their full potential if they are used with conventional computer Hardwares.

To avoid this, he used 1000 of the qubits he made after making the quantum chip to create the qRAM (Quantum Random Access Memory).

The reason it was bigger despite having only a fifth of qubits compared to the Quantum chip which had 5000 is because the qubits had to be arranged in a different style than the quantum chip, and to allow it to function as a qRAM he also added a few things that were not in the Quantum chip as they were not needed by it.

The qRAM consisted of a network of 1,000 qubits arranged in a two-dimensional grid. Each qubit was connected to four neighboring qubits via quantum gates, forming a regular lattice structure.

To store quantum information, the qubits will be initialized to a particular superposition state based on the memory address.

To read or write to the qRAM, a series of quantum gates will be applied to the appropriate qubits.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ Just think of it as normal RAM but with Quantum salting in it.

As for the biggest of the three, It was the Quantum Hard Drive.

It was a storage place of all the data the quantum computer needed to store, hence the size.

But despite it being the biggest in size it only had 3500 qubits inside. But just with that amount of qubits it was capable of storing nearly 500 petabytes of data, Almost the same as Nova's original server.

The quantum hard drive consisted of 3500 qubits arranged in a three-dimensional lattice structure. Each qubit was connected to its nearest neighbors via quantum gates, forming the same but different lattice pattern from the qRAM.

To store quantum information, the qubits will be initialized to a particular superposition state based on the data being stored.

To read or write to the quantum hard drive, a set of quantum gates will be applied that entangles the qubit at the desired memory address with a set of readout or input qubits, respectively.

The readout or input qubits will then be used to manipulate or extract the quantum state of the qubit at the desired memory address.

The quantum hard drive has the capability to store large amounts of quantum information in a superposition of states, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval of quantum data.

This allowed it to have the ability to perform read and write operations in a fast and efficient manner, making it suitable for use in a wide range of quantum computing applications.

Although both the qRAM and the Quantum Hard drive had smaller numbers of qubits than the Quantum chip, the difference in how they were arranged allowed them to do their task without any loss in efficiency on the side of the chip.

This difference in arrangement also allowed them to ensure that the chip is able to access and store information faster without any loss in effectiveness.

...

After making sure he didn't miss anything he shouldn't, he powered it on and connected the Quantum computer to the home server.

The moment he did that [Sir I have received the connection but it has nothing] Nova informed Aron.

"because anything connected to that motherboard is just a shell as they have no instruction sets currently so even they don't know what to do."

[Should I Install the basic instruction architecture sets that you wrote?]

"Yes, but install Based on the received connections' configurations, install different instruction sets accordingly. For instance, for the chip with 5000 qubits, install the version of the architecture's instruction set designed for it. For the one with 1000 qubits, install the architecture's instruction set that has qRAM instructions. Lastly, for the remaining one that has 3500 qubits, install the instruction sets designed for storage." Aron gave instructions like a machine gun.

[Yes Sir] Nova acknowledged the instructions and did as told. She retrieved the Quantum Architecture that Aron spent fifteen days writing, then she repurposed it based on Aron's orders and installed them on the different connections.

[Sir It's done] Nova informed Aron just a few seconds after he gave the orders.

"Well that was pretty fast considering the size of the instructions in the Architecture." Nova said as he was surprised by the speed.

[The few seconds delay was only caused because It took a lit bit longer to send the data to them] Nova explained that even the few seconds it took were only because hee transfer speed had a limit and it would have been done faster if it was not for that.

"Well knowing and seeing is different" Aron said after hearing what she said. Although he knew and expected the speed he wasn't prepared for it to be this fast.

"Power it up then" He ordered Nova who did so at once.

The cooling rig surrounding the motherboard started getting noisier as it tried to keep the chip ram and motherboard at their optimal temperatures when the beast was powered on after Aron said so.

[It's on Sir.]

He didn't need to install or create an operating system for the Quantum computer as it was inside those instructions, that's why it was as long as it was and took him days to finish even at the speed he was writing at.

"Benchmark it" Aron said immediately after he was told it was powered on.

[Holy shit] Was the only thing that was heard from Nova who was trying to calm herself down to avoid frying her motherboards from surprise.

"Language" Is the only thing Aron managed to say to her as immediately before his next words could come out they were stuffed back because of what he was seeing on the screen in front of him.

[Haha] Nova who managed to control herself couldn't help but laugh after seeing Aron's surprised face.

The results were crazy, no matter what system load Nova tried to simulate with a quantum computer it was completed immediately.

Whether it was to render something or write down pi number twice the current record to anything Nova could think of, everything was completed at the moment it was given. with the delay being only from the limit of the transmission speed of the data cables in their connections.

[Now this is what you call a computer.] Nova said with the voice that showed that she was excited with the speed of her soon to be home.

"What is your current size?" He asked after calming himself down from the surprise and excitement.

[Without the training database that I'm creating, I'm nearing 30 petabytes]

"HOLY SHIT" Although he expected her to increase in size everyday due to her training herself but damn that was large.

[Language] Nova returned the favor.

"How long will it take for you to migrate over to this computer?"

[With your home internet speed, it will take me two weeks to migrate] Nova replied after calculating the time with Arons homes average internet speed in mind.

"During the migration your other functions won't be interrupted right?"

[No sir it won't, I will be using about half the home's internet speed to transfer myself and the remaining half to keep contact with you.

If no one is using it I will take over all of it until someone tries to use it again.]

"Okay then, begin the migration" Aron decided to start so that it can be completed faster for even a second.

[Sir you still have some reports that you haven't looked at] Nova reminded him again.

"Not now, we will go through them after you complete the migration."

"Now I have to assemble one more thing" Aron Said to nova as he turned to look at the remaining component that he didn't assemble yet.

He postponed the reading of the report because they were not urgent, if they were Nova wouldn't have delayed them.

Another reason is because if he completed the assembly and everything needed for the new device he will be able to solve most of them with ease and maybe all at once.

With that he immediately started the assembly of the device.

After spending about three hours assembling small components between each other, finally there were only three large pieces remaining.

One looked like a helmet that was still open on the back. The second one looked like a motherboard while the third one looked like a smaller motherboard but had many small wires.

[Sir what are those?] Nova asked Noah who was resting after concentrating for a very long time.

"What do you think they are?" He answered with a question.

[Since I only saw small pieces of it being made I can't be completely sure but to me it seems like a Virtual Reality headset from movies. Is it?]

"Ding Dong Deng.. Correct." Aron affirmed her answer.

"Yes you are right, Though it needs a lot of complicated components to be made, all of them can be categorized to just four main parts. The headgear, the neural interface, and the control computer" Aron said, pointing at each part as he mentioned them before he started going deeper in his explanation.

"The fourth part is on the software side and not the hardware.

The helmet is self-explanatory. It is just a computer case turned helmet.

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ As you already know, the neural interface is a device that would allow the user to directly interface with their brain, transferring their consciousness to the virtual world

And the control computer is just A high-performance computer that will be used to process the vast amounts of data required for a full-dive VR experience.

This computer will be using one of the five 100 qubit computer chips we made. As it needs to be able to render high-quality graphics and support the neural interface."

[Isn't it overkill to use a quantum computer chip, Sir?]

"Although it is overkill, currently there is no chip powerful enough to sustain the use of the virtual headgear, And since we only have them as an alternative, we don't have another choice for the moment."

[Understood].

"Now upload the instruction set to this chip too" Aron said as he connected the 100 qubit chip to the computer to upload its instruction so that it is capable of understanding programs.

[Done] Nova said a moment after he connected the chip to the computer.

This time Aron did not seem too surprised as he started getting used to this convenience.

After that he disconnected it and sat in front of the monitor and keyboard that was connected to the quantum computer he made first and started typing like there is no tomorrow.

He was writing the program for the virtual reality headset computer. This program will be used to utilize the computing power to process the vast amount of data required to create a full-dive VR experience to be able to generate the virtual environment in real-time, process the user's neural signal, and provide feedback to the user's consciousness.

...

March 3rd 2014

It was the last day of Nova's migration to the quantum computer.

Nova had been continuing with the migration to the quantum computer for fourteen days straight.

It took her that long due to the size of her code that continued growing every time she learns something new.

This increase in size was despite her program being continuously optimised automatically and very frequently.

[Sir the migration is done, permission to go offline and boot from the quantum computer.]

"Proceed" Aron approved as he finally finished writing the last line of code for the virtual reality program.

Nova immediately went offline from her previous server and came back online with the quantum computer as her main brain leaving the server as her backup one.

[Good afternoon Sir] Nova greeted Aron three seconds after she was given permission to proceed with the boot process.

"Welcome back" replied Aron who didn't even feel her void, as she literally left for just three seconds.

[Thankyou Sir] Nova replied to Aron's sarcastic remark.

"How do you feel?"

[to explain it easily, It's like upgrading from a flip phone's camera to a telescope.]

"Quite an upgrade tis then"

[ Yes sir, The view is completely different] Nova tried to explain it to Aron in an easier way because if she were to go in detail it would take a few days for her to complete her explanation.

"Congrats on your new brain but we have work to do Nova" Aron said as he connected the virtual reality helmet to the quantum computer.

"Upload the virtual reality program to the headgear"

[Done] Nova said moments after Aron ordered.

"I really fear the day when I have to use conventional computers again" Aron said as he realised that he was starting to get used to the convenient speed of the quantum computer.

After that he left the basement and went upstairs.

A few minutes later he came back carrying pillows he took from the sofa in his room.

He laid them down to form a makeshift bed, then he picked the virtual reality helmet from the table and put it on as he lay down on the bed.

After making sure that he was in a comfortable lying position he said "login"

With that, he lost his consciousness and a milestone was set for humanity.

Aron's body appeared inside a blue room while being naked.

When he came to himself after a few seconds, he took a look around the room and when he saw that he was in a blue room.

"Wow" He couldn't help but marvel at the way he was feeling, he was feeling no different from reality.

Another thing he discovered was that he was buckass naked. He tried touching different parts of his body to try and find any irregularities of the virtual reality feel but he failed to find it any different from reality.

"Auch" He cried in pain when he tried to pinch himself to see if even the pain would be real.

"Damn knowing about something and feeling it is really a different thing" He said as he massaged his pinched cheek as he willed himself being clothed and clothes appeared on his body, MAGIC.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom Since he knew he could do that he decided to take it a notch more and changed the room, he changed it to be similar to a garden.

The moment the change completed he started experiencing what you would usually experience in a garde. The smell of flowers, the sound of birds, the breeze of the wind and everything else was being felt by Aron who nearly forgot that he was in virtual reality.

"I could get used to this" He said as his hands started touching the flowers.

"Nova." He called immediately after he came to realise that he forgot to call her.

[Here sir] Nova immediately materialised In Front of Aron with the appearance of a very beautiful woman.

I insist on the very (with capital letters)

[Image here]

"Wow" Aron couldn't help but marvel at her beauty, from the face to her body proportions, she seemed like a work of art.

This was despite him knowing that she was just an AI.

[How do I look] Nova asked while turning around making sure that Aron saw her every side.

"Beautiful, where did you come up with the look?" He asked after he complimented her.

[Thank you] Nova replied and a blush could be seen on her cheeks from the compliment.

[Since we are in a virtual world I wanted to have a body to interact with you Sir, and with the increase of my computing power I decided to make myself my ideal body]

"Good, Now let me hear all the reports that have been collecting dust" Aron had to change the subject because her look was causing him to have weird thoughts.

[Yes Sir.

You have 3 reports waiting for your decision.]

Nova replied as she took control of Noah's room and changed it to a meeting room with a very comfortable chair for Aron to sit and a black board for her to show the reports to him.

"Thanks" he thanked Nova and went to sit on the comfortable chair made by her.

After Aron sat down, Nova started to give Aron the reports one by one.

[The first is, we received the investigation reports from the 5 private investigators.

The second, we have discovered the location of the black site which has our trojan

The third is, Rona Rothchild seems to have been ousted from the company.]

"When did the thing about Rina Rothchild occur?"

[Today morning Sir]

"Wait for a few days and if nothing happens, then write to her and ask her for a meeting."

[Yes Sir]

"As for the location of the black site, save it, we will need it later for the payback."

"Show me the reports"

[Yes Sir]

Nova immediately made the five reports hover in front of Aron.

"Combine the reports and write just one for each of the two countries with all the needed information in them"

[Yes Sir] Nova did as ordered and combined the reports and wrote down just two of them, with each of them having only the information about one of the two countries.

"Which of the two countries do you think is the better for our plan?" Aron asked Nova while commanding the copies to move towards him with his mind, which they did.

Ah, the convenience of virtual reality.

When he started reading the reports Nova started answering his question.

[I think Eden is the best for our plan]

"Why do you think so?" Aron asked for elaboration as he opened the next page of the report that was floating in front of him.

[ Although they both have dictators as government heads, Eden's government is more unstable.

Which will make it easier for us to overturn it, as it reduces the needed time for us to sow more discontentment for the government.

They also have most of the revolutionary groups trying to overthrow the government, giving us power to negotiate a better deal by only choosing to support those who will accept our demands without forcing us to compromise anything as they will be competing with each other.

….

]

Aron kept listening to Nova's explanation while he continued reading the reports that were no on his hands for a better understanding of the context of what she was talking about.

An hour later, he finally completed reading the two reports and raised his head to see Nova hovering In Front of him, waiting for him to finish his reading.

"Let's go with Eden. Contact the leaders of the revolutionary groups. Tell them someone wants to support them and try to set up a meeting."

[Done.] Nova reported shortly after receiving the orders.

...

After being told that she has already sent the emails to the revolutionary groups leaders in Eden, he asked

"Do you have access to my brain map and other data that is being processed by the virtual headgear?"

[No sir, the virtual reality program in the headset is preventing my attempts to access it, It seems like I need your approval first.]

"Okay then, take a look at it" Aron gave her permission to access the data that was coming from his brain.

He didn't even take a second to question her why she tried to access his data without his permission, this is because he was sure that she was never going to use it in any way that would cause him harm.

This trust comes from him knowing that despite her code allowing her to have free will and could independently think without any limitation, she would never ever think about betraying him.

The moment Nova tried to access Arons brain map and its data from the virtual reality headgear….

His system informed him immediately, giving him a choice of what action it should take.

DING!!!!!

[It has been discovered that someone or something is trying to access the brain map and other information of the user

[Allow Access] [Block Access]

]

He pressed Allow Access and another system notification appeared.

[Permission granted.

Allowing access to the users brain map and its data,

Blocking access to the systems architecture within the users body.

]

The system informed him that, Although he permitted whatever was trying to access his brain map and its data, it still kept itself hidden, leading to it not being included in the brain map and the data that Nova collected.

[Brain map and data retrieval has been completed Sir] Nova informed Aron that she had completed the task.

"Analyze it and inform me of your findings when you are done."

[Yes Sir] With that Nova started analyzing all the data she retrieved from Arons brain.

When he received the confirmation, he immediately said "Logout" And his consciousness returned to take control of his body.

[How are you feeling sir?] Nova asked him after he put the headgear down on the table.

"Not goanna lie, I feel quite relaxed" He answered as he was stretching himself as if he had woken up from a sleep.

[When you were logged in, the headgear put your body in a REM sleep, this allows you to rest and release your fatigue by making your body rest.]

A/N REM sleep (That's when sleep is so good that you don't wake up even in an earthquake)

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ "It will be very useful and will allow me to increase my productivity, as I can work and rest at the same time. HAHA"

He agreed on its usefulness but he also knew that it could be turned off, this was to avoid someone who used it in the daytime not being able to sleep at night.

[Yes Sir, this can be considered as you gaining 12 more hours without losing anything at all] Nova agreed with his thinking.

Aron, who was waiting for the information from his brain to finish being analyzed, decided to go and take a long and refreshing bath, Which was then followed by him having his lunch.

…..

[Sir the analysis is complete.] Nova informed him the moment he returned to the server room.

"What did you find?"

[Many things but some information seems to be deliberately omitted from your brain map]

"The system removed all the information about itself that you would have accessed within the data" Aron informed Nova.

[I thought so as well, but despite that your brain seems like it has evolved and is very different from the data about brains that is in my knowledge library.]

"Show it to me" Aron asked to be shown what she meant with those words.

Nova showed Aron his brain map and highlighted what is different from his brain compared to normal brain. What's weird is that It was his whole ass brain being highlighted.

"Why do I seem like I have a second brain within the first one?" He asked Nova after seeing the map of his brain highlighted.

[You still have only one brain, but everything about it changed when your body evolved to runic body sir, every part of your brain is under lines and lines of runes that I can't decipher at all.]

"Did the system allow you to access my assimilated knowledge?" He asked after hearing her explanation.

[Yes sir, that's why I tried to decipher the runes in your brain but they seem to be at a higher level than your current knowledge level.]

"Okay, bring up the universal simulation formula" He ordered immediately after being told by Nova that she has access to his assimilated knowledge.

He was happy that this happened, because it allowed him to not waste anymore of his time typing down the knowledge that was assimilated in his brain, as he could just make Nova access it and just bring it forward to begin being used.

[Here it is sir] Nova acknowledged the order and brought forward what seemed like mad man's notes.

The entire simulation formula was numbers after numbers and weird symbols after weird symbols.

"Do you understand anything in the formula?" Aron asked after he started getting a headache when he stared at the formulas for longtime and he tried to understand it.

'It seems like my brain is still not powerful enough to understand the formula for now'.

[I tried to understand the formula too, but it seems like It is also impossible for me to understand the whole of it.]

"So how will you be simulating it then?"

[It seems it has its own way of simulating itself without needing for me to understand how it works.

Also it seems like your system expected you to not be able to control it at all, because it allowed me special access in the program giving me pseudo god-like powers in the simulation world if we start the simulation.]

"What do you mean by pseudo god-like powers?" He asked, wanting more clarification.

[As long as it is physically possible in the real universe, I have the ability to create it in the simulation.

all you will have to do is analyze and break down the original process to reverse engineer whatever you created for you to have the knowledge about it.

However, the more complex the desired outcome is, the more computational power will be required to accomplish it.

Moreover, this approach comes with a risk of intervention from the program, which is an unintended consequence of granting me pseudo god-like abilities.

The program will possess the authority to veto any creation generated from this feature.

This veto power is in place to safeguard against potential hazards or oversights that could arise from focusing solely on achieving a specific objective, leading to catastrophic and unintended consequences.]

"The system seems to be trying to tell me not to over rely on this feature, still it will allow me to save my precious sp's by just making sure that I have knowledgeable scientist's working hard under me to reverse engineer my ideas."

[I agree with you Sir] Nova chimed in as well, agreeing to Noah's plan.

"Begin the simulation then so that we can know what the size of the universe can be simulated with our current computing power."

[Beginning the process]

"How long will it take?"

[ Approximately two days ]

"Why?" he asked, surprised by the amount of time it would take to start the simulation.

[In order for the simulation to commence, the program requires a starting point, or as it is commonly referred to, anchor coordinates.

This starting point is crucial as it serves as a reference point for the program to orient itself and begin simulating the universe from that specific location.

To accomplish this, a considerable amount of time, up to two days, is needed for me to input the necessary parameters into the program.

These parameters allow the program to determine our position within the vast expanse of the universe and enable it to commence the simulation from this point onward.]

"Okay go on and do your thing, Also start the process of compiling all the runic knowledge you received from my brain.

It seems like with the simulation program going online it will allow to practice my Rune crafting without having to worry about hurting someone"

[Yes Sir] Nova started extracting and organizing this information. She organized it in a way that will provide Aron with a comprehensive understanding of runic language and its applications.

...

Rothschild mansion.

Rina Rothschild could be seen in her work room inside the mansion she lived in.

In Front of her was her personal computer which had an email open.

The email seemed to be the official confirmation of her dismissal from the board of directors.

She was sitting there but her mind wasn't present with her in the room. Her brain was currently looking for ways to get her position in the company back.

In her deep thoughts she was thinking of a way for her to return to her position in the company again, and this time just like the first time she wasn't planning on stopping with just returning but also trying to remove her brother from the company.

But it seems like her brother has used the period in which she was married to Rottem very well and removed every member of the board who was on her side and replaced them with those who are loyal to her.

This is one of the reasons her return wasn't very welcomed by the members of the board but they could do nothing because it was the family head's order.

But since the family head allowed competition within the family, it led to her brother once again having an advantage in the competition due to having almost all the members of the board on his side.

This resulted in her being demoted right at the start, it was followed by almost all of her business plans being interfered with or being handed over to someone else to cover for her under the disguise of trying to help her leading to someone else taking the credit for its success.

Although she tried to complain to the family head about this he decided to turn a blind eye on this under the pretense of not interfering.

And when his brother saw that the family head had decided to not interfere with their war he decided to cross the line and dismiss her from being a member of board with the reason being creating a toxic work environment by trying to bring the family head in their competitions.

Ting!!

A notification sound from her computer woke her up from her deep thoughts. Most of the people would have ignored it as it happens to them almost all the time, but for her, any notification sound coming from her computer was important due to her only allowing certain apps to make the notification sound.

When she looked at her computer she found out that she had received a new email, just as she was about to ignore it her eyes fell to the sender's name and she froze.

"Is he/she writing because they want to cash in their favor?" She spoke to herself as her mouse hovered on top of the email.

She ended up deciding to open the email to see what it was about without trying to worry about it too much.

If they wanted their compensation she had to hand it over, because no matter the result they had helped her when she needed it the most.

When she opened the email she was surprised that they were not cashing in their favor but they just wanted to meet…..

[

Subject: None

Long Time no see.

How about a meeting?

]

What is the meeting about? They seem to not want to elaborate that reason for whatever reason they had.

She didn't even hesitate to think about the reason for the meeting. She agreed to it immediately without wasting too much time.

She pressed her intercom "Chloe come in" she called for her secretary.

Knock knock.

"Come in"

Her secretary immediately entered the room after receiving permission to enter.

Rona started talking when the secretary finally entered the office "I have a meeting scheduled with someone outside the building in the upcoming days. Go and notify the security team to be ready for a meeting to take place outside anytime during the week."

She ordered her secretary to inform the security team to be ready for her scheduled meeting because although she agreed to the meeting, she did not exclude the possibility that it was her brother messing with her all the time.

She didn't specify the date because she was waiting for the other side to reply to her, for them to schedule the meeting.

"Yes ma'am I will do so immediately" Chloe, the secretary agreed to her order immediately and left to inform the security team without asking her on which day her meeting will take place.

This is due to her being taught not to ask any question and just follow orders.

When the secretary left her room, Rina started waiting for the reply from her benefactor for them to set their meeting.

Ting!!

And the reply immediately came from them, asking for when she was free for the meeting.

This back and forth continued until they reached an agreement to meet 2 days later.

…..

Inside the virtual reality Aron could be seen sitting cross legged in a garden.

He was currently reading a book about Runes. It was arranged by Nova with the information collected from his brain.

[Sir I managed to set a meeting with Rina]

Nova's words made him raise his head from the book and turn to her, "When is it?" He asked.

[Two days later] Nova replied immediately.

"Why set it so soon?" He asked because it was set sooner than he expected.

[She seemed to want to meet us sooner in hope that we have something that can help her again] Nova explained, informing her the reason it was set that soon.

"Okay, How is the universal simulation program coming on?"

[I just completed giving it its needed parameters and it started doing its calculation and will soon begin its simulation]

"Good, I really need that simulation program to start so that I can practice using Runes."

[Why wait for the simulation program and not just do the practice here?] She asked while pointing at the room they were in.

"All the actions I perform within this room are a product of my imagination alone.

Any progress I appear to make while learning runes in this room would simply be a manifestation of my imagination and not true improvement.

This is a constraint of the current virtual reality program, and it would take years of research to overcome it and create a program that goes beyond my imagination.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom However, all of these challenges can be resolved with the use of the universal simulation, which simulates the universe on a one-to-one basis.

If I were to learn Runes within this simulation, it would be no different than learning it in the real world."

[Understood] Nova ended up agreeing to his reasoning after hearing his explanation.

"How about the revolutionary leaders? Any reply from them?"

[No reply from them yet]

"Okay inform me when they reply back to us"

"Okay inform me when they reply back to us" He said as he returned his eyes to the book about runes as he waited for the simulation program to begin, so that he could begin his runic training.

He just now started focussing on the topic of runes because when he gained the knowledge of runes, he was also forced to hold back on practicing it due to the inherent dangers that came with it.

The power of runes was immense, and without proper guidance, it could lead to disastrous consequences.

Hence he did nothing when it came to training on how to use runes, but all of these limitations will soon be overcomed by him using the universal simulation as his training ground.

With the advent of the universal simulation, he could finally put his fears to rest. The program would serve as his training ground, providing him with a safe environment to hone his skills without any risk of bodily harm.

It was the perfect solution, and he couldn't wait to get started.

...

The next day Aron entered the basement after eating his breakfast.

[Sir the simulation has finally started] Nova immediately informed him after he entered the room.

"It took a day longer than expected," Aron said as he lifted the virtual headgear and headed to the makeshift bed, lying down and entering the virtual world to continue their conversation face to face in the virtual reality.

[The simulation took longer than anticipated because, prior to commencing the simulation, it was necessary for me to allocate a percentage of the computer's processing power for its permanent use. As I initially assigned it half of the computing power for the simulation, it resulted in a delay of one day beyond the planned duration.] Nova immediately started her explanation the moment Aron entered the virtual room.

Aron listened to Nova's explanation without interrupting her then after she finished her explanation he asked "Does this mean that half of your computing power is currently under the simulation programs control?"

[Certainly. Despite allocating half of the computing power to the simulation, there is no discernible impact on the computer's processing speed. This is because most of the tasks were being handled by just 10% of the chips' computing power, leaving the rest of the power idle most of the time.]

"Did you manage to connect the simulation program to the virtual reality program?" He asked after knowing that there was no impact in the computer computing capabilities.

[Yes Sir] Nova replied while turning to her left side and raising her hands closer to her chest and started doing some jutsu hand signs , then she said ["Summoning: Quintuple Rashomon"]

And just like Hashirama she summoned a giant gate.

Aron couldn't help himself and ended up laughing while holding his stomach.

After laughing for several minutes he finally managed to recollect himself.

"Haaaa, I really needed that laugh" He said while looking at Nova who had changed her clothes to the ones which kunoichi used to wear to go with her theme.

[I have been watching some anime with my idle computing power] Nova explained her theme.

"Anyway, Is this the door leading to the simulated universe?" He asked, returning their focus back to the main topic.

[With the size of the current simulation I wouldn't call it a universe, not even a world ]

"Is the size of the simulation that small?"

[The size of the simulation is about the African continent, about 30 million square kilometers (11.7 million square miles) is being simulated by the program.]

"Is that what half of the quantum chip is capable of simulating?"

[No, only half of it's assigned computing power is used for this simulation, the other half is to allow for me to play god within the simulation]

"Okay, let's enter and see," Aron said as he started moving toward the Rashomon gate.

Nova moved first and started pushing the gate to open it for them to enter.

After that they entered the simulation together without wasting any more time.

"There is no difference than the former room" Aron said after entering the simulation, appearing on a very large flat ground.

[Sir, the previous room that was being run by the virtual reality program was operated based on the laws of the universe as dictated by your imagination. This means that if you believed that gravity was not important, it would have been removed in that virtual space.

However, this side of the door is different. It is an exact replica of the real universe, down to the last atom. That is if we have enough computing power to simulate it] Nova finished her explanation with a shade.

"Where is this?" Aron asked while looking at his surroundings.

[Serengeti national parks] Nova answered Aron's question without turning to him, as her eyes were focusing on the lion in the horizon.

Aron, who was wondering what Nova was looking at that was so important to the point she didn't turn to him when she was answering his question, so he turned to look at what she was looking at.

"Fuck" is the only word that came from his mouth before his body immediately started running to the gate leaving behind Nova who started laughing at him.

While he was nearing the door he suddenly froze mid running like a glitch.

[Sir with me you are safe within the simulation] Nova said that as he resumed the time of the universe in the program.

ραпdα nᴏνa сom "Did you just pause time?" Aron asked after being released.

[Just for a short time, If i try to hold it for longer than a few seconds the program will be forced to intervene to prevent it crashing] Nova answered his question while pausing time again but this time making sure that Aron was not frozen and could move freely.

"So what you mean is that if we have a large enough computing capacity we can make time here go as fast or as slow as we want?"

[Yeah we can do that even now, but for that we will have to shrink the size of the simulation to accomplish it]

With Nova's acknowledgement Aron's mind started being filled with ways he could use this feature to its fullest potential.

"HAHAHAHA, Finally hit a jackpot I can extend the time difference here to be 100:1 and make a day out there 100 days in here " Aron said with excitement in his voice which he didn't try to hide at all.

[Though you can theoretically do that, but there is a limit that your brain can handle]

"What is my limit?" Aron asked, wanting to know what his current brain can handle.

[For your brain sir it will be a maximum of 50:1 as for a normal human brain the max they can handle is 25:1 before they receive any enhancement that changes their brains.]

"Still better than nothing, So how much time acceleration can the current computing capacity handle?"

[Currently the maximum it can handle is a 5:1 time acceleration]

"Do it" He ordered immediately wanting to try his first runic spell before he had to go and meet Rina tomorrow.

[On it] Nova immediately started implementing the changes and the land started shrinking until only a small part of it remained surrounded by a dark wall meaning beyond the wall nothing was being simulated beyond the wall.

After the shrinking of the land was done Nova immediately started accelerating the time within the simulation until it reached the limit which was 5:1 compared to the real universe.

[The time acceleration has started Sir] Nova informed Aron that he was currently spending time five times faster than the real universe.

"Let's begin then" Aron immediately sat cross legged as he was about to start his first runic practise in his life.

But an idea popped up in his mind and immediately interrupted his about to begin practise.

[What is it Sir?] Nova asked Aron who seemed to be out of focus.

"An insane idea just came to my mind and if we can make it happen then it will revolutionize my runic training and everything else that we could do inside here" Aron said with anticipation on his face.

[What is the idea Sir?] Nova asked as her anticipation also grew.

"Since you have a copy of my brain, can't you create a copy of me that is similar to me to the last atom?" Aron asked Nova, he asked this instead of explaining because the answer will determine the chances of his new idea succeeding.

[Yes I can do that Sir] Nova answered immediately as she had already tried it when Aron was logged out.

She hid this from him because she was afraid that Aron would be repulsed by the idea of having a copy of himself being made.

"What if we made duplicates of me, had them learn about runes and other subjects we require, and then assimilate their gained knowledge they gained by practicing into my brain, similar to how my system assimilates the knowledge that I bought from it?" Aron asked while expecting a positive reply from Nova.

Nova, who took a few seconds calculating the feasibility of this idea, then she replied

[We can definitely pursue this approach, and its potential is even greater than you anticipated.

Since the brains we'll be creating will exist entirely within the simulation, we can overcome the time acceleration limitation of the simulation. Our only limitation that will remain will be computing power.

Furthermore, since these brains are completely digital, there is no concern about harming your physical brain due to acceleration.

However, I regret to inform you that I could not find any information in your brain about how to perform the knowledge assimilation.

It seems that your system considers this technology confidential and has removed it from the accessed brain data.]

Aron was very happy when he heard Nova's answer, despite her telling him that she currently couldn't assimilate the gained knowledge to his brain.

This is because he was sure the knowledge to do that existed in the system's shop

...

Aron wasted no time at all as he immediately opened the systems shop and searched for the said knowledge.

[ (Knowledge assimilation)

Involves transferring information directly into an individual's brain, enabling them to fully comprehend and understand a subject without the need for study or practice...

...

...

...

...

(Price: 100 million sp)]

When he saw the price he became happy, as he realized that he could buy the technology if he just collected a few million more sp.

"Good, now if I finish collecting the sp, I will have nothing to worry about. My clones will be learning the runes in my place and all I have to do is assimilate what they learned. HAHAHAHA" Aron started laughing like a maniac and Nova didn't see it as anything weird, as she became used to Aron's weird antics a very long time ago.

[Congratulations Sir but you need to start practicing your runes, you still have 4 days in accelerated simulation universe time(ASUT) until your meeting time with Rina Rothchild] Said Nova reminding him that he still had to start practicing by himself until he had enough sp to buy the assimilation technology from the system shop.

"Okay" Aron agreed to her words and returned his focus back to practicing runes which had been interrupted by his sudden revolutionary idea.

Aron sat down and sat cross legged followed by closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves and calm himself down to be able to focus.

He needed to calm himself down because he needed all the focus he could have, because he knew that despite having the knowledge of runes in his mind, wielding them was an entirely different matter.

Aron cleared his mind, then closed his eyes and began to focus all of his attention on his Runic heart, its voice low and rhythmic, causing him to feel a deep sense of calm wash over him.

He started visualizing the rune he wanted to train in, when he started visualizing the rune; inside his brain Runes lit up attracting Nova's attention who was watching and documenting everything that was happening to Aron.

When the runes in his brain lit up, Aron started hearing faint whispering in his mind, guiding him toward the path of accomplishing the realization of the Rune.

With that his runic heart started lighting up and releasing energy and dumping it through his veins.

Aron focused on the energy while trying to shape it into the rune he wanted to actualize.

He felt a sudden jolt of electricity surge through his body, forcing him to open his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a golden runic word 'LIGHT' levitating in front of his eyes which kept getting brighter and brighter as his heart was still pumping out energy which he was still focusing it on the runes.

When he realized that he was still adding energy to runes, he immediately cut the supply of it, resulting in the rune stopping to increase in brightness.

Immediately after stopping the supply of magical energy, he said in his mind 'activate' for the rune to start doing what it was supposed to do.

With the order given, the rune activated with a sudden burst of intensity, the light from the rune erupted outward, filling the surroundings with a brilliant but blinding glow

Golden light lit his face and became the only thing he could see, the light continued getting brighter and brighter forcing him to close his eyes to avoid being blinded.

'Deactivate' Aron said in his mind for the rune to deactivate as its blinding light was getting bright enough to cause him discomfort even with his eyes closed.

The runic word started dimming.

After waiting a few seconds for the rune to deactivate and the surroundings to return to normal, he opened his eyes again.

[Congratulations Sir] Nova immediately congratulated him for succeeding in activating his first rune.

But Aron couldn't hear her, as his eyes were focused on the blue screen that appeared in front of him.

DING!!!!

[(First Rune)

Congratulations on officially starting your journey to becoming a Runemaster...

Rewards: 10 million sp.

]

The system rewarded him 10 million sp because it deemed it as him officially beginning his journey into runic mastery and it wanted to congratulate him for that.

[Sir!! Sir!!] Nova repeatedly called for Aron.

"Mh" Aron replied as returned his focus back to his surroundings due Nova's consistent call.

"What were you saying?" He asked again after realizing that he had ignored what Nova was saying.

[I was congratulating you Sir]

"Thank you"

[But what were you looking at?] Nova asked Aron, wanting to know where his focus went.

"You didn't see what I was looking at despite having access to my brain?"

[Your system seems to be actively preventing any and everything that can lead to the discovery of how it works.]

"If it is even altering and hiding some of my real time brain data, then it means that it really doesn't want us discovering how it works" Aron said then returned to answering her first question" As for what I was seeing, it was the systems notification and reward for me succeeding in activating my first rune and beginning my first step into the journey of becoming a runemaster"

[It seems like the system puts a very high importance in rune mastering] Nova added after hearing Arn's explanation.

"Yes it seems so based on the rewards. Anyway, let's start analyzing the records of my activation." Aron ordered as he wanted to try and see all the process his body took from calming his nerves to activation of the rune.

This was because he wanted to know what he was doing wrong and what he did right to optimize his system and avoid wasting his time training with inefficiencies in his training process.

[Yes Sir] Nova immediately executed the order and created 4 boxes within those boxes containing 3d real life rendering of both inside and outside of his body.

One box had the 3d real life rendering of the inside of his brain, another one showed the inside of his heart, another one showed the entirety inside of his body and the last one showed the normal him sitting down.

He could control the speed of the footage, the angle at what he viewed them, he could even zoom in for clarity.

He could do this because all of the simulation data was collected and could be replayed completely in whatever way they wanted.

When Aron looked at the length of the video he was surprised "It took me nine hours to finish creating just one rune?"

[To be exact it was nine hours and a half. How long did you think it was?] Aron asked, wanting to know how much time did Aron think passed.

"Two minutes, no longer than that" Aron said as he tried to remember the amount of time he felt had passed when he was focusing on the rune.

[I think this rune is responsible for that] Nova said as she zoomed on Aron's brain until it started showing lines of runes that were written on his synapses, then she played the footage which showed them starting to light up meaning that they become active the moment he started his runic practice.

[These runes seem to be the result of you gaining the Runic body.

From your description of it, you said it allows you to learn runes at a much faster pace than normal people right?.]

"Yes" Aron answered her question.

[ These runes seems to have functions such as guiding you to the right path in your runic use and training.]

pαndαnoνɐ1--сoМ "So this is why I felt like someone was leading me throughout the process" Aron nodded as he remembered something guiding him in his runic training.

"Anything else that is out of the ordinary like this?"

[Yes Sir, This time it is in your heart.]

Nova replied as he highlighted the box with the 3D footage of his heart.

[Some runes went into action to allow you to have perfect control of the magical energy that was being pumped into the rune you created.

It seems to be in the same category as the runes in synapses.] Aron focused on the runes in his heart trying to at least get a glimpse at what their meaning is, but due to his runic knowledge being low he understood shit.

But Nova didn't stop there; she continued fast-forwarding the footage until when Aron stopped supplying magic energy to the rune he had created, then she started zooming into his heart deeper and deeper until she reached the atoms making his heart.

What surprised Aron was that there were runic lines even at that level of zoom. But before he could ask his question Nova played the footage.

The moment he stopped supplying the magic energy to the rune and activated it, The atomic size runic lines in his heart lit up and started collecting magical energy from the atmosphere to refill his magical energy tank.

"Are these runes the result of gaining a runic body too?"

[No these are the first line of runes etched in your body in order to form your runic heart to allow the use of Runes.]

"It seems like the system is really putting way too much importance in runes" Aron said as he zoomed out a little trying to see the complete runic sentences written in his heart by the system.

He was having a hard time seeing the complete runes as the letters were the size of an atom.

[From just the functions that we know they can do, it seems like it puts way more importance that you imagined Sir] Nova replied to Aron's statement.

"What do you mean by that?" Aron asked.

Although he knew why she said that, he wanted to hear her reasoning for saying that.

[From the runic knowledge that I got from your brain, Runic practitioners usually need to wait some time for their magic energy to replenish in order for them to use runes again.

But for you it is different, you can use runes for as long as your brain can handle the activation process, this is because the runes in your heart replenishes any magical energy that you used immediately, helping you solve the problem of replenishing your magical energy or continue practicing to increase your magic capacity.

But that is not all, the runic lines responsible for the replenishment of your magical energy is taking less than one percent of the runes in your heart, meaning that more than 99 percent of the runes in your heart haven't become active and we don't know what they do until they are activated and we see what they do.

Despite all of these benefits all of this was done to you free of charge.

The system determined that if you had to buy the ability to use magic from its store, you would not have even bought it, due to its price being way too high for you to afford it within the century.

So it gave you the ability to use runes while not giving you any knowledge of how to use runes.

It means that although it is important for you to be able to use runes, it is not that urgent and the system wants you to learn it slowly as you discover more of their usefulness.]

Aron couldn't help but be impressed by her analyzing skills from the little information she had. Although he had thought about the reason why the system gave him the ability to use runes, he didn't think about it that deeply as he didn't see anything currently in need of him having runes other than protection.

"That is a very detailed explanation Nova, good job" Aron gave Nova a nod of approval, showing that he was really impressed by her explanation.

[Thank you Sir] Nova thanked Aron while making the simulation program remove her blushing to prevent Aron from seeing it.

"Now let's continue with my rune practice." Aron said and returned to his previous sitting place and sat crossed leg to continue his runic practice.

While Aron was practicing his runes Nova did nothing other than sitting quietly and watching Aron concentrate in his runic practice.

…..

2 days later in accelerated simulation universe time(ASUT).

"Sir, Henry is currently shaking your body calling you to have dinner" Nova immediately told Aron after he completed activating the light rune for the seventh time.

Aron was able to activate the rune in just 15 minutes this time around, thanks to his runic body. It was cutting down the activation time it takes to activate the rune by half of what it used to take him to cast the spell. This improvement was consistent every time he trained on the rune.

Initially, Aron had to spend sixteen hours to activate the spell, but his runic body cut it down to 8 hours by his next try.

It was followed by the time being reduced to 4 hours, then 2 hours, and eventually 1 hour. With more practice, he brought it down to half an hour and finally only 15 minutes on his last attempt.

"Okay " Aron stopped practicing his runes and got up, preparing himself to log out so that he can go and have dinner with his family.

"See you" Aron said as he passed through the Rashomon gate that Nova had summoned for him to enter and leave the universal simulation.

He needed to leave through the door and return to the normal virtual reality to be able to logout because the universal simulation was currently going through time acceleration so if he logged out within the simulation his consciousness would experience how having 5000 ping feels in real life.

[See you Sir] Nova answered Aron's goodbye as he went through the gate.

'Logout' Aron said in his mind to log out.

"Brother what is that?" Henry asked Aron after he took off his helmet.

"Oh this is a virtual reality helmet" Aron answered Henry's question as he stood from his makeshift bed holding the helmet then headed to the table to put it there.

"What is it for?" Henry asked another question wanting to know what it does.

"It is a simulation machine like in those games in movies" Aron explained it in a way for him to understand it easily.

"Can I try it?" Henry asked in excitement when he heard Aron's explanation.

"Yes but later, Now let's go and eat. Didn't you come to call for that?" Aron reminded Henry who was so excited from wanting to try the virtual gear that he forgot what he came for.

"Yes" Henry agreed to his words though slightly disappointed that he didn't get to try it.

With that they left the basement heading to the dining room for their dinner.

...

An hour later Aron returned to the basement by himself.

Henry seemed to have forgotten his excitement of wanting to try the headgear due to being told by his mother that, if he left his toys in random places without collecting them, she would confiscate all of his toys and not allow him to use them anymore.

[Welcome back Sir] Nova welcomed Aron the moment he entered the basement room.

"Thanks" Aron said as he put on the helmet and laid down on the makeshift bed and said 'Login'.

[Are you going to train on another spell or will you continue training on the light rune?]

"I will continue training on the light rune, because I want to see if there is a limit with the runic body's capability of decreasing the training time by half every time he repeatedly trains the same rune" Aron said while sitting down so that he can continue his practice.

[Okay] Nova said nothing after that and left Aron to continue his practice of the spell.

…..

3 days later in accelerated simulation universe time(ASUT)

Aron stretched his hand forward and said "Light"

The moment he finished saying those words, runic letters representing the function of light appeared in front of his hand and brightened a little before it stopped, then it was followed by runic words lighting up and releasing a soft golden light hovering in front of Aron.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ While it appeared to take a long time for the rune to activate, in reality, it only took a nanosecond from the moment Aron commanded the rune to activate and the actual activation of the rune.

Aron kept staring at the soft light caused by his runic activation feeling proud of himself.

"It took longer than expected," Aron said about the time it took him to perfect the use of the rune.

Although he managed to reduce the activation time of the runes to nanoseconds, he still had to practice on controlling the right amount of magical energy so that the rune didn't blind him.

[ Although your runic body gives you perfect control of the magical energy, you still needed to find the perfect amount magic for every rune to avoid wasting magical energy where it is not needed ]

"Yeah you are right about that, this is also one of the reasons I didn't practice it in the outside world" Aron agreed with Nova as he remembered the time when he activated the rune immediately but since he gave it too much magical energy and the rune came out brighter than the sun.

The problem was not its brightness but its proximity to his eyes, he had to ask Nova to reverse the damage done to his eyes using her powers within the simulation or else he would have been blinded forever within the simulation.

"Let me try using the rune in the real world first" Aron said to Nova and immediately went through the gate and logged out to try activating the runes in the real world.

Real world.

Aron went and locked the door leading to the basement, so that he wouldn't freak anyone who might accidentally see.

After he turned off the lights in the basement he said "activate" while envisioning the rune of light in his mind.

And just like 'magic', a soft glowing light lit up the room in a golden glow allowing him to see everything within the room.

[Wow] Nova's voice was heard through the speakers as she was viewing everything through the cameras within the room.

"What do you see?" Aron asked Nova, wanting to know what parts of the rune are seen in the real world.

[I saw nothing other than a soft golden light appearing out of nowhere lighting the room in golden glow]

"It seems my assumption was right. Normal people in the world won't be able to see the cause, they will only see the results coming from it"

[Yes sir, this will allow you flexibility in using runes anywhere]

"Mh…" Aron nodded his head agreeing to what Nova said.

[Sir, you need to start preparing for your meeting with Rina.] Nova immediately reminded him about the meeting he had with Rina.

"Thank, I'm really going to have to find a way to get used to the time acceleration or else I will be having troubles keeping up with time and appointments." Aron said that, as he had spent a total of five days within the simulation despite only one day having passed in the real world.

[Don't worry Sir, I will be reminding you if you forget anything] Nova said to Aron who was massaging his eyebrows.

"Thanks Nova" Aron said to Nova after he heard her saying that.

Aron then deactivated the rune in the basement then turned on the lights in the basement.

"I will go and prepare for the meeting" Aron said as he left the basement room going up stairs to eat breakfast and prepare for his meeting with Rina.

Two hours later.

Aron had finally completed his preparations for the meeting and was heading to the garage in order to head to the meeting when he was reminded by Nova that he forgot his watch.

"Thanks" Aron thanked Nova while he was heading to the basement to pick his own made watch.

"I nearly forgot you," Aron said, looking at his digital watch.

[As I said, I will always be there to remind you] Nova's voice came from the watch replying to him.

Yes the watch had one of the four remaining quantum chips.

He made it because he wanted to always have Nova in her full capabilities with him at any time at any place.

Although he could have had her be with him using his phone, he currently didn't have the time to create one and also it being a watch allows it to blend and not attract too much attention like how a custom phone would.

With that Aron left the basement heading to the garage.

Then he left the house while being driven by Donald, one of his bodyguards going with him to his meeting with Rina.

…..

"I Will be back in about two hours or more, so go and buy yourselves some food" Aron said to Donald and his other bodyguard buddy as he left the car.

"Yes Sir" Donald said he then started driving the car to the parking lot.

As Aron stepped through the front door of The Ritz-Carlton, he felt a rush of excitement at the opulent surroundings, because despite him being a billionaire he never really lived like one at all.

The testament to this was that it was his first time entering a five star hotel in his life.

The lobby was grand and spacious, with towering columns and a glittering chandelier that cast a warm, golden light across the room.

The walls were adorned with works of art, and the plush carpets and sumptuous furnishings added to the sense of luxury and refinement.

After looking around and attracting a little attention from the people in the lobby, Aron made his way to the front desk, where he was greeted by a friendly concierge who welcomed him to the hotel.

"Welcome sir, How may I help you?" She asked Aron.

"I have a reservation in one of your restaurants under the name of Nova" Aron explained his reason for being her.

It was under the name Nova because she was the one who made the reservation for him.

She used her name because she knew Aron didn't want their meeting to attract the attention of anyone.

As for why choose a five star hotel for a meeting you don't want to attract too much attention. It was because of Rina, as a member of the Rothschilds family her going to a normal restaurant would attract more attention and suspicion compared to going to a five star hotel.

After looking through their system and finding the reservation under the said name, the concierge offered to escort him there.

"Sure," He agreed without any problem, because he knew he would be having trouble finding his way if he chose to go by himself.

As they walked, Aron couldn't help but marvel at the attention to detail that had gone into every aspect of the hotel's design.

The walls were lined with beautiful artwork, and every piece of furniture seemed carefully chosen to create a sense of elegance and sophistication.

Finally, they arrived at Navio, and the concierge wished Aron a pleasant dining experience before taking his leave.

Aron took a moment to take in the breathtaking ocean views from the dining room before being greeted by the maître d'.

He was then escorted to the private room, where he settled in and started his waiting for Rina to arrive for their meeting.

"Any bugs?" He asked the void after he was left alone in the room.

[No sir] Nova's reply came from the watch.

Nova had immediately taken control of everything that had internet connection within the hotel's premise the moment he was in the proximity.

She was monitoring everything, making sure that nothing dangerous happens to Aron during the period he is within the hotel.

...

15 minutes later.

The door to the private room was opened and his breath caught in his throat as he caught sight of the stunningly beautiful woman who stepped into the room.

She was beautiful beyond compare, with cascading waves of dark hair, sparkling eyes, and a smile that lit up the entire room.

"Nova you have a competitor" These words couldn't help but come from his mouth due to Rina's beauty being comparable to Nova's virtual body.

Thankfully no one heard him as he managed to say it in a low enough voice that only Nova could hear him.

Nova's reply to this was nothing other than her vibrating the watch to show her displeasure in her beauty being compared to Rina's, but even she couldn't refute what he said.

The reason they were surprised is because although they had seen her pictures it wasn't of the highest quality one, this was the result of the Rothschild family wanting their family members' lives to be far from the public eye.

Aron stood and extended his hand to her for handshake while he said "Welcome, I'm Aron Michael"

Rina shook Aron's hand then she replied saying "I'm Rina Rothschild" with a smile on her face.

'Why would Rottem cheat on her, is he dumb or what' the thought appeared on his mind.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Let's have a seat" Aron said after shaking her hand which came as a surprise to Rina.

Rina was used to people getting lost in her beauty and forgetting what to do, but for Aron who had spent about a week with Nova's virtual body within the simulation it was manageable for him, although he was mesmerized he managed to control and not embarrass himself in front of her.

Rina sat on the other side of the table sitting face to face with Aron.

"Are you by yourself?" Rina asked because she was wondering why they were in a large private room.

"The small ones were booked up for today and only this one remained" Aron replied honestly without beating around the bush.

"Now let's get to the main topic, what do you want for your favor that needs me to come and meet you face to face?" Rina went directly to the main topic without wasting any time with small talks.

"There seems to be a misunderstanding from your side." Aron said while showing that he was taken aback by her reasoning to reach such a conclusion.

"A misunderstanding you say? Then what are we doing here?" She asked when she received a different than expected response.

She thought the meeting was for her helpers to meet her and cash in their favor. That's why she came prepared to repay whatever they wanted if it is within her capabilities.

"Yes a misunderstanding, I'm here to extend a helping hand for the second time due to some coincidences on our part".

"What will you want in exchange for the help you will provide?" This time she asked due to her wanting to know what will she have to give up for their help for the second time.

"Nothing at the moment," Aron answered without wasting any time."But we will need your help very soon once you regain your position within the family".

Rina hesitated to accept the help because she didn't know what they would want from her when she regained her position in the family.

When Aron saw the hesitation in her eyes, he decided to assure her lest she decides to not accept his help. He was going through all these troubles because he really needed her to be on his side.

This is because, for one of his future plans to succeed without a hitch he needed someone within the family with powerful political say to support him.

Although the plan could succeed without anyone's help, having it would expedite its completion.

"You don't have to worry, We won't ask for something that would harm you or jeopardize your position in the family. It might even seem trivial and useless when we ask you of it, " Aron said, trying to assure her.

"You have my promise" He added.

After a few seconds of silence she finally gave up and agreed as she really needed his help at the moment and she was ready to lose an arm to get her position back.

"Okay then, what do you have that can help me this time? I'm assuming that you know my current situation in the family"
