Research Journal 2
In theory the transcription was not very complicated, the transcription was structured by the links and covalences. The phenomena were stipulated as points and lines being the connections of the phenomenon, so that the more points the greater the strength, but the order had to be stable, so they had to be transcribed exactly in the order of the desired phenomenon, thus forming the runes.
For example, the order for the rune used in the gauss weapon was detonation, impulse, acceleration, friction cancellation, acceleration, acceleration, detonation, impulse.
Giving a total of 8 functional phenomena and using the remaining 5 for gun control, so you will understand why I considered ridiculous my father's ruse of saying they were the best guns on the market.
Without considering the inefficiency of only 13 phenomena per rune, the accommodation was ridiculous and that's without considering that the phenomena were not potentiated but only acted linearly.
I studied the method and it was even possible to apply theoretical potencies, if you establish dual phenomena, the problem was how to bring them to reality.
The solution is as complicated as ridiculous, the system was missing a phenomenon which was integrating and allowed to compress the potentials, so basic and so complicated to understand if you don't know it.
It reminded me of the culture of my previous world where conventional numbering was used, but it was not until centuries later that 0 was discovered.
People were horribly complicated when calculating large sums, not to mention the fact that programming before 0 was impossible.
The theoretical transcription was a success but it was unstable because it was not a linear system, making it impossible to understand the transcription.
So again "inspired" by the culture of my previous world I passed the links to models and.... it worked!
So the time in the library basically consisted of converting the transcripts I had into inlays with the system and verifying the possibility of inserting them into the human body, embedding the runes into the armor was not complicated, splitting the runes all over the armor linking the runes all over the armor.
I wasted 1 freak per rune, giving a total of 9 wasted freaks to link the 9 runes.
If you think about it in the old system it's a big waste but in mine it's even laughable since it has
2,197... and that's without potentializing since I wasn't sure how to structure them in the embedded system.
I know it sounds complicated but it is very simple just imagine that originally you have a square area in which the phenomena can occur before overflowing and you move to a cubic area so even without compressing you can fit 3 times more potential phenomena.
This process took me about a couple of months without complications, but the following was more complicated. It consisted of covering the inlays with molten steel... to avoid the inlays to be noticed and also because I was not sure what would happen if any inlay breaks, also I was thinking of sketches on how to put the inlays in bodies and unfortunately I would need help because they were dangerous to fix and the only solution I saw was on the bone surface.
So I discarded the idea of doing it for the moment... with this in mind there was a saying in my previous life, which said think wrong and you will be right.
And I didn't believe in my family so the next month while I took the Armorer to cover the armor runes, I put self-destruct devices on the runes in case they tried to disarm them without my authorization.
While additionally with my remaining savings I prepared an inner armor for personal use, but this one brought a few problems.
It only had the surface of the chest, arms and a wristband that was prepared to engrave some rune.
I somehow managed to embed the 9 necessary runes in low-risk places and cover the armor with cloth and leather looking like a shirt and an unrelated metal bracelet.
The process was long and painful so I squeezed until the last day before the presentation, in which I made a cubic model, notes of the diagrams and a diagram of the rune positions, but before I finished I heard someone knocking on my door.
I thought it was strange because tomorrow would be the presentation and my father had given strict orders not to disturb me and just leave the food outside the door, I had kept my part of the bargain by not making loud noises and avoiding detonations.
So surprised to hear the banging on the door increase I said.
"wait... I'm opening".
With my voice cracking, before opening the seal and the door.
As I opened the door I was met by a pair of servants who were smiling too much, which made me wary and made me ask.
"what... do you... want?"
To which they replied while making veiled gestures to each other.
"Sorry for the inconvenience young master but the master requested us to escort you to the kiosk in front of the mansion where he is expecting you for tea."
Puzzled and confidently I closed the library sealing the in turn, I followed them down the corridors before stepping out onto the front lawn where I found my father at a small kiosk where there were tables and chairs.
"It's been a while Niles."
Smiled my father who was holding a chair opening up space between the table and the chair for me to take a seat, as I took a seat I saw him go around the table and take a place on the opposite side.
So I nodded as I watched him take a seat.
"How have you been?"
He asked as a maid served us tea and snacks.
"Fine."
I replied as I took a cookie and a small sip of tea, immediately noticing something strange as it was coffee with cinnamon.
"This isn't... tea?"
I asked still suspiciously, while analyzing my father's face that showed a surprise in my opinion exaggerated surprise.
"It must have been kitchen error or the maid, they'll change it in a moment."
He answered in a way too helpful in my opinion, triggering my alarms in the process because it was the first time I saw him ask to change something at the table, my father had always maintained a mercenary policy at home and part of this was to eat what you were served and not be squeamish about it or suffer the consequences.
Not once did I ever see him change the food, even though on one occasion it was so salty I felt my mouth would go dry, so I knew that even if there was a mistake the dish and drink still had to be eaten.
I nodded feigning confidence as I looked in all directions and slyly tried to figure out what he was planning.
But even as they replaced the cups and plates he just smiled as he waited.
"How are you doing with the etiquette lessons?"
My father asked still smiling as I slyly stuck my finger in the cup and touched the bottom of it looking for traces.
"I'm still not wearing...you know I'm 8...still a year away."
I said haltingly as I slyly pulled my finger out of the cup and drank it watching her expression, hiding my vision behind the cup.
"Right...sorry I thought I heard they were ahead of you but maybe it was just my imagination."
I comment, as I drank from her cup before biting into a cookie.
"Hahahaha!"
I laughed falsely alarmed as I noticed he didn't mention tomorrow's presentation, dodging the topic.
So I touched the rune on the bracelet hiding the inner armor in its entirety, leaving only the bracelet visible.
Cool...isn't it. I thought rambling in my mind, while the armor that looked like a shirt disappeared completely.
Which alarmed me even more if it was possible to recognize the thought, because I do not usually disperse so much in thoughts.
So I managed to say.
"I'm looking forward to... looking forward to tomorrow's presentation"
As my consciousness clouded over I didn't plan to let myself go without letting him know that I knew of his betrayal so I managed to say that before I was knocked unconscious.
The next thing I knew about myself was waking up in the back space of a magical vehicle, I had no view of the outside, I was totally locked up and bound hand and foot.
In addition, as if that were not enough, they had removed my clothes, leaving only the bracelet that was impossible to remove if you did not know the method and a white robe.
Which came in handy in my escape plan, because even if I managed to get out, I would be lost, with my ass in the air and without shoes or money.
Even with these I tried to break my thumbs to remove the rope like in the movies, but the rope had a restraining rune apparently as it did not allow the slightest movement.
Resigned and still hungry as I didn't get to eat much, I was filled with hatred towards my father and myself for having been such a fool.
A couple of hours passed in which I tried to count the seconds in the hope of calculating the distance if I could somehow figure out how fast we were going, but it was useless because I lost count at some point after 14,400 seconds.
So resigned to my fate I waited a couple more hours before I saw two doors magically open in front of me from where I caught a glimpse of a fat, scruffy looking man.
The guy carries me on his shoulder ignoring me at all times. But little did I care to see the pile of trees and huts around me, so fearing for my life or worse my virginity I fought like a worm would without success at all.
So I got more tired than the man in the endless minutes that followed before he threw me into a hut, which he sealed before deactivating the rope rune.
The guy left laughing after activating a sound rune from outside the hut, it played a very SAW-like audio that informed me of the following:
"They are here, because they are sons of noble families but even more importantly they are troublemakers and smart.
Too smart for their own good, so the king in his benevolence has built this place where we will turn them into useful tools for the kingdom or destroy them in the attempt.
"Hahahahahaha which reminds me, you have 32 hours to leave the cabins if you don't want to be punished but don't worry it will be a mild punishment, we will only fill your rooms with an experimental gas we are working on, we still don't know how well it works, it is supposed to confuse your nerves making the slightest rubbing cause a pain similar to removing a tooth without anesthesia or at least that's what the doc claims, anyway in 32 hours we will know, we look forward to the fervent volunteers who stay in the cabins."
What the fuck? Since I was supposed to untie myself and break the seal on the entrance, I guess they made a mistake and brought me to an escape artist circus or thought they had Houdini in the cabin.
