Chapter(3)- Memories of the past
In the murky night, the moon with an arch was shining brightly.
Its rays dawned upon a middle-aged man who was carrying a newborn child warped with animal hide.
He looked around and then placed the baby on an acacia tree fork. His vision fixed on the sleeping baby's face. He couldn't control his tears from welling up.
"Dak-OSA, here take my grandson. This blood of mine will be the last sacrifice for your rage" he said in a low voice.
He took off the bone necklace on his neck and put it on the baby. He took a few steps and looked back at the acacia tree for one last time.
He doesn't have any hope that the child would survive the cruelty of the wilderness.
After some time passed, the baby slowly opened his eyes. From the first time from his birth, this was the second time, he woke up.
He felt hungry, thirsty, cold, and uncomfortable. He was unable to do something, even moving his fingers made him exhausted.
His brain worked to find out effective protocols for the current condition
'Case- insufficient nutrient
Cause- excess of psychic energy
Search solutions for the current condition
Underway, expanding scope….
No.1134.0 searched solutions depending on the input database in his past three life. It's very testing since it didn't have a similar ordeal as the current problem.
After all, he only has to obey orders and complete missions assigned to it (him). Sometime later, a very familiar sensation slowly but surely came to greet him.
That was the sensation before death, every sensation of arms and legs disappeared slowly. Each blink made him drowsy and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
Respiratory organs started to fall, thereby causing symptoms of suffocation to creep up.
The last sensation he could feel was cold.
When his eyes closed, he would enter a black space. As usual, he saw some flashbacks of his previous life.
Code name No.1134.0 wasn't given in his first life. He was just a codeless homunculus, one of many carbon-copy of a spacecraft pilot from "A" fraction.
The first bunch of specimens that officially deployed on the space battlefield from the side of the human species from called Earth or (Scu).
According to input data xx- In 1.**.**.** inter galactic Era, Humanity that escaped into the vast universe gained a massive boon from a lost alien civilization remnant.
Within a few centuries, Science and technology developed rapidly to SFL (Star-field level) 3.
Fusing with outdated alien tech, they developed more powerful spaceships that could travel through nebular star-field and contracted a unique sentient life from alien legacy.
Which would grant them abilities to communicate with more developed civilizations inside the universe.
In **.**.**, Scu natives applied for a seat in the universal organization named Council.
Scu native species got rejected from becoming a seat member. The least they can permit was to give SCU natives a planet to rent as an act of mercy and use these creatures as mercenaries aka pons.
However, what they didn't expect was, these Scu native species only fight for themselves. Therefore endless wars between the Starfields, an additional player appeared for colonization.
Most of the earthlings died, and some defected to aliens. The remaining ones united and fond an organization called SCU.
As the war continued, human sources become less and less, there come carbon copy tech from alien remnants combined with biochemistry creating "homunculus".
A Codeless homunculus participated in many battles for SCU and died on the battlefield.
Its life was simple, obeyed orders, provided some data to scientists (bioengineers), and died for them.
After its death, (CL) No-1134 conscious stayed in the dark void without any senses but strangely its memory Log accompanied him. Time inside the void felt both short like a few seconds and long like an eternity.
When No-1134 awakened again, it became another homunculus in a different era. This time, he was created as a mech pilot to drive the humanoid mech.
Mecha technology was developed by SCU betrayers who take refuge in the Council. They were using the same homunculus model to defeat rebels with level 5 Tech from the Council.
They gave it a new code called No-1134.02 which have genetically modified with alien genes and is able to wield psychic energy.
No-1134.02 had more access to tech and data. These were directly imprinted as data DNA form. No-1134.02 was doing the same thing from a different side. The only difference was a single unforgettable event that end his life.
No-1134.02 was assigned, to sneak inside a human starship and eliminate all the living.
Mission went smoothly until reinforcements from the enemy side came. After a gruesome battle No-1134.02 was the only remaining mech on the battlefield.
So it opted to fulfill its remaining duty, eliminating all the living inside the ship by itself.
Inside star-ship, No-1134.02 saw what's different between homunculus and real living.
Every time it killed a living, it saw a very clear lack of a factor called emotion. No-1134.02 developed a little curiosity about an unknown factor called emotion.
It started in situ experiment on the living as a side mission.
However, it didn't get enough data since the starship reactor exploded causing both parties' demise.
No-1134 re-entered the void torture therapy again and reawaken to move on to its third life. An ace homunculus pilot for the earthling N faction.
This era was rather more peaceful than the previous two eras.
Although the endless war was still ongoing as usual, SCU in this era developed sufficient power to fight against a Council seat member both in terms of resources and technology.
No-1134 was picked up by an eccentric mech creator.
The madman optimized alien gens, put more basic concepts about automatons, scavenging weapons, the basic concept of mach, spaceship, and how to reconstruct a homunculus body if necessary.
The madman's purpose was to make homunculus terminators that are reusable mission after mission.
Unexpectedly by some miracle, No.1134.76 transformed into aced level pilot from cannon folder homunculus.
Council wouldn't let this flare become a flame that burns the entire universe. They fiercely attack N faction bases with righteousness, they proclaimed 'to maintain balance'.
No.1134.76 mech was besieged by four super aliens and fall into the wormhole, not even a single atom remained.
This life was the fourth life that No.1134 relived and it was about to die.
Suddenly, some energy was being injected from something coiling around his body.
He opened his drowsy eyes and saw a large snake with a small bump on its head. The snake opened its maw attempting to swallow a small baby from his head.
