'Well, let's not worry about its size for now. Tell me about what is the name of this world and its specialty,' Rex asked after overcoming his fake sorrow and wiping the invisible tears off his face.
Every inner world has a specialty. For example, Flame World increases the attack damage of flames or control over flames or flame resistance or maybe more than one, Calm World helps a person in being calm and have a clean heart at first look it doesn't have many benefits but in fact, the cultivators with Calm World can comprehend techniques faster than others, have lesser chances of encountering a heart demon, have more control over their desires like greed.
[It doesn't have a name yet, you can give it one. As for its specialty, try imagining something, something physical if possible you can start from something simple,]
Rex didn't think much and followed the instructions.
Suddenly a white prism appeared in front of him and floated in the mid-air.
'This…' Rex was surprised, he just randomly thought of a prism-shape and it appeared out of thin air. He tried to touch the plain white surface of the prism and succeeded but he realized that it was too fake, it didn't have any temperature to it furthermore when he grabbed it to check its mass, he found out that it didn't have any weight.
Just at the time when Rex was examining it, a small holographic window appeared above the white prism.
[Realism: 09%]
'What does it mean?' Rex casually asked.
[It means the prism is 91% fake,]
'…' (Rex)
'Amazing Rose you are brilliant, why I didn't think of that? With such heavenly Intelligence and abyssal wisdom who can fool you? If you start a business then even when someone gives you just 10 billion $$ you can easily turn them into a total of 10 $$ in less than a month,' Rex praised wholeheartedly.
[Thanks, what can I say, I learned all this from you,]
Rex was speechless again. He realized Rose has a very high innate talent for trolling.
[The realism represents how much the subject matches the things that can exist in reality, the more details it has the more real it would be. If you make an object here and a similar one exists in the real world then it will work the same as the one in the real world as long as it has enough realism. The more details you have about the subject the more realism it would have, the subject doesn't need to be something that you had seen or made in the real world as long as you can think about it with enough details you can make it,]
Rex's eyes shined, he tried to test it and with a thought, the white prism started to transform, its white surface began to turn into glass, it became transparent, the realism on the window above it began to increase rapidly.
[Realism: 56%]
[Realism: 71%]
[Realism: 87%]
At 87% the realism stopped advancing but just at this time the white prism that had completely transformed into a glass prism fell on the white floor and broke into pieces.
…Thu..Crackk…
'It actually gained weight,' Rex looked at the broken glass prism in surprise.
[It was 87% similar to the real thing and a real glass prism will obviously not float in the air on its own, so the law of gravity was applied on it, it fell and broke, by the way, it's your world so if you want to then the law of gravity can be removed with a single thought,]
Rex's eyes were shining brightly like the stars in the night sky, he had a terrific idea in his mind.
'Rose if what you said is true then the more I would know about something the more real it would appear here right?' Rex asked.
[Yes,]
'The things I know most about are the ones we have analyzed, made, or used Reverse Engineering on, so their realism should be high right?' Rex asked again.
[Yes, it's a good idea, the realism of such things shouldn't be less than 90% and as long as they are above 90% they will react in exactly the same way as the real world,]
Rex didn't talk more, he snapped his finger and a glass filled with red wine appeared in front of him, he was careful so the glass was still floating in the air. From Rose's words, he knew as long as he willed it then the thing will happen, if he willed the glass to float in mid-air then it will float.
[Realism: 96%]
He extended his hand and grabbed the glass, without a second thought then took a sip of the wine. The familiar bitter-sweet taste of the wine Zakiya gave him, assaulted his tongue.
[You can taste it but it's not real so it won't actually quench your thirst,]
'Dammit! It's exactly the same taste I can't even tell the difference of the last 4%… If the things above 90% can mimic reality to this extent then, Rose to tell me something if I know about ten chemicals whose realism here is above 90% and I do a chemical reaction here which I have never done in reality and the result is A then I do it in the real world using same ingredients and the result is B, then how much similar would be A and B. Tell me about the limits of the specialty of this inner world,' Rex asked.
[If all the conditions and input are also the same then the result too will be the same, A and B will be the same. As for the limits… The only limit is your imagination~]
Rex didn't wait for a second before he ran his imagination to test the limits himself.
Suddenly, the white walls of the room disappeared, the scenery changed. Several big buildings, towers, and cars appeared in the surrounding.
At the next moment, Rex was standing in the center of a road, people were walking on the side of the road, cars were running at high speed, advertisements were showing on the big screens on the buildings. Although Rex was standing in the middle of the road no one even looked at him, it was like a holographic video recording was going on and people can't see him.
Rex looked around, it was the place he normally needed to pass when going to the office from home on earth, he was very familiar with it. He then saw a car coming towards him, but in the next second, it passed through him and continued on its way.
'There is no use remembering the past, I will build my own world here… my home,' Rex thought that snapped his finger and the scenery changed into the white cubic room again.
[You can imagine anything and change the view too but remember the size of your inner world won't change,]
Rex nodded. If he wanted he could make the car from earlier real enough that it could crash into him but it would also mean that it will crash into the walls of the inner world, it won't harm his inner world but the car cannot continue on the road unlike just now.
'Rose a soul avatar has a deep connection with a cultivator's body and soul so can I link my body with my soul avatar right now?' He asked.
[Yeah,]
All of a sudden, Rex's main body opened his eyes, and just at this time, a big screen appeared in the inner world.
The screen was curved and it showed the same thing that the main body could see.
Rex willed it and a sofa appeared behind him, he sat on it, extended his hand and a joystick appeared above it.
"Hey Rose can you connect my body with this joystick I mean for simple movements," Rex asked with expectation filled eyes.
[You serious?]
'My little darling, you had helped me when I was making the same potions, again and again, you were able to help me control Transmutate and Telekinesis when I was focusing on multiple things, you also did auto-simulations before so it should be possible right?' Rex said.
[I did auto-simulations and used those abilities before but it was because of Mind Arts, I just commanded things from your mind, but controlling your whole body is something I never have done before, as it will be like controlling your subconsciousness and it's only possible when you are not using it like when you are asleep or unconscious but now that you are controlling you soul avatar and your body is in the meditative state it might be possible if I sent commands to your neuro system instead of you. But I can't do it without your permission either or else wouldn't I have just created Auto-Combat?]
'Actually, I have a better way, just use Mind Arts like before, this time you can use Node-Network to control my body, how?' Rex said.
[So you want me to use the combination of Mind Arts and Node-Network to control the body, yes it's possible, it will be like controlling a puppet with strings but I am doing it for the first time just so you know,]
'Just do it, if you succeed then you can redirect the connection to the joystick, then wouldn't it be just like controlling a big bot from inside,' Rex thought.
[Starting operation....]
[Establishing Mirror Neuro Network...]
[Starting auto body movement simulation....]
Inside the first floor of the tower, Rex expressionlessly unfolded his leg and clumsily stood up with the help of his hands.
'Good, now take the first step,' Rex said.
Rex's body under Rose's control lifted his right foot and was about to take the first step that the balance of the whole body broke and Rex fell with his head crashing into the floor. Fortunately, the body of a Core Breaking stage was not something that can receive damage by falling.
[Analyzing the movement pattern....]
[Correcting the error...]
This time Rex took the first step successfully after that he... fell.
On the third try, he successively took three steps but when turning he... fell.
On the fourth try, he ran without falling but because of unbalanced turning and wrong timing, he crashed into the wall.
On the fifth try...
After three minutes...
'Are you sure you are not trying to break my body?' Rex asked in doubt.
[I'm trying, controlling the body using Node-Network for the first time is not easy. And I haven't made a single mistake twice you know,]
'Then we will do it later, for now, I have thought of a really good name for the inner world... Virtual World,' Rex said.
[Inner World's name set as Virtual World]
[By the way, should I tell you about the special ability your inner world obtained now?]
'What! why didn't you tell me about it before, my Virtual World is small but if it has gained a special ability then it means that it's not weak, you bastard was playing with me, now tell me what is the ability,' Rex said in an excited tone.
[I wasn't playing you, I already said that this inner world might not be weaker than others, after all, it had reached 97% synchronization rate with you,]
'Huh.. just 97% and not 99% or 100%?' Rex asked.
[If it was above 99% then it would mean that you were born with it there was no need for us to build it at all, it doesn't matter now because we already got what we wanted,]
Rex nodded and didn't interrupt, he was very curious about the special ability.
[The name of the special ability is
'Wait... I don't even have enough curses to shout, I'm damn sure that I never stuck my nose in time Law,' Rex said with a poker face.
[It only have Time in name, and has nothing to do with Time Law,]
[The working process of Time Control is actually similar to how Game Pod and Fast Clock works, but it's effect are better as the inner world is free from the laws of the real world,]
'You said similar to Game Pod and Fast Clock? Game Pod uses the subconscious mind of a person when they are asleep, the game they play is just like their dream in which their thinking speed is faster than when they are awake, a normal person only dreams for a few minutes but they think that they had dreamed for hours.
When I made Game Pod my target was to take the real and game time ratios at 1:20 but I was only able to make it up to 1:6 or it might be dangerous for the users, as for Fast Clock it uses psychic energy to strengthen my brain and increases my thinking speed for some seconds.
Game Pod needs my subconscious mind to work but Fast Clock can work when I'm in a conscious state of mind so where does Time Control work?' Rex asked after some thinking.
[It works in Virtual World]
Rex was at a loss for words.
