The basement of the Suarez family was already turned into a high-end laboratory. Surrounded by many high-tech machines, Luis was working on a hologram, as the machine in front of him was designing a data chip. On the other table, a machine was heating the apparatus under a very high temperature. Luis gently took out the vial of green liquid and poured it inside. He was very careful with his hands. Because only he knew what kind of treasure he was holding.
In this world, there's a myth about a mythical grade treasure known as Soul Dew. It has been said that if you have a Soul Dew in your hands, you will obtain immortality. But this myth was never confirmed. Even in the game, Luis only heard about the myth of Soul Dew but could never obtain that treasure.
Even if this mythical treasure was seemingly unobtainable. There was a treasure that he did obtain inside the game, and it is very well related to the Mythical treasure Soul Dew. It is known as Soul Essence.
Soul Essence is formed when extremely pure spiritual energy condenses and turns into liquid form, then purifies itself countless times. Of course, this green liquid wasn't the Soul Essence, but rather the extract of Soul Essence full of ghost energy.
And this liquid is what he is going to use as a catalyst for his Rune magic and make a human consciousness for his A. I. completely replacing the data center.
With the help of the apparatus, Luis slowly mixed that liquid with the material of the chip and then started drawing several runes. He continued working on it for hours. His eyes were completely focused, not even blinking.
Luis didn't even know how much time had passed. The chip was nearing its completion. Finally, after drawing one last Rune he stopped.
"It's done."
A small smile appeared on Luis' tired face as he took a deep breath.
He immediately used liquid nitrogen to cool down the Chip's temperature. Then he impatiently connected the Chip to a Supercomputer in the laboratory.
At first, nothing happened. His heart became anxious, thinking that he might have failed. Just when he was about to take that Chip out of the Super Computer. A sweet child-like female voice came from the speakers.
[Who are you?]
A delighted smile appeared on Luis' lost expression as he said. "I am your Master."
[Who am I, Master?]
Hearing this innocent voice, a name inadvertently appeared inside Luis' mind. "From now on, you are going to be called Lily."
[Thank you for the name, Master.]
She seemed to like her name a lot. 'If she was real, I wonder what she would have looked like?' As soon as that thought crossed his mind. Luis immediately commanded. "Lily, study all the books and information in the database, then design a form to display yourself in holograms and projections."
[Yes, Master, will do.]
After that, Luis also gave her permission to enter the internet and only study from the public network. Because Lily gained consciousness with the help of magical means. No data or self-learning programs were needed.
While drawing the runes on the chip, Luis also used the rune of absolute subservience. So Lily would never betray Luis or go against his command.
"You do as I told you. I'll go take some rest."
[Yes, Master.]
The lively childish voice inadvertently brought a faint smile to Luis' tired face.
As he left the basement, several thoughts crossed his mind regarding his next set of plans.
Though it took several days to make her. Now with Lily here. Luis can start his other projects, too.
On his way to his room, Luis also met Alicia, who just came back from a stroll in her evening dress.
"Good evening, Alicia." Though tired, Luis still greeted her enthusiastically.
"Evening, Luis," Alicia replied subconsciously. Then, as she took a proper look at him, a frown appeared on her beautiful face. As she asked in concern, "Were you still in your lab?"
Seeing Luis nod, Alicia sighed helplessly and then reprimanded him without hesitation. "You should take proper rest. Just look at your face. Your eyes are red from overwork and your skin also lost a lot of luster."
In the last few days, Luis hadn't come to practice. He shut himself inside his lab and even skipped a few meals. Then made Alicia worry about his health.
"Are you worried about me?" Luis asked with a faint smile.
"Che, who is worried about you? I'm just worried my fiance might die from overwork even before our marriage."
When he heard Alicia's words, Luis smiled even more. But replied perfunctorily.
"Yeah, well, I was about to rest just now."
Alicia looked at him with narrowed eyes and asked. "Did you finish whatever you were making?"
Luis looked at her in surprise and asked, "Yes, how did you know?"
"You just seem quite relaxed compared to a few days ago. So, I just thought maybe." Alicia didn't know how to explain this, so she shook her head and asked curiously, "So, what did you make?"
Looking at her bright eyes, Luis smiled faintly and said, "I'll show you later."
Although a little disappointed, Alicia also understood that Luis needed to take some rest. So she didn't question him further.
But suddenly she remembered something and said, "I called a Monster Oologist before. That Monster egg seems to have no problems and will probably hatch in 1 to 2 months."
Previously, Luis had given the monster egg to Alicia for taking care of it. Hearing the estimated incubation period, Luis was a little thoughtful.
"You still haven't told me which monster is it." When Luis brought back the black monster egg from Almast. Alicia was a little surprised that Luis wanted a monster pet. This also made her a little interested, wondering what monster's egg it might be.
"Wait for it to hatch. I am certain you will be surprised," Luis said mysteriously.
Alicia pouted, then with slight annoyance she left the place, leaving a sentence.
"Hmph, just go and sleep. I'll bring you a meal after you wake up."
Looking in the direction she left, Luis smiled and then went to his room. He was indeed very tired and a good long rest was what he needed the most.
