The whole empire was shaken upon the discovery of one of the empire's legends, Akashic Records. From the weakest to the strongest personnel are all set up to find the whereabouts of the mystical collection of knowledge.
It is said that the records rest in a separate dimension which holds all the information about the universe. The accumulated knowledge generated a power that transcends even space and now finding it was not a mere myth. Which turned the world upside down.
"It's all that man's fault"
A child-like voice echoed through the dark halls of a library. His lone shadow cast the big shelves of the library. Silently he walked around the secret library.
Three weeks ago a group of scholars and wizards excavated the resting place of a famous alchemist and wizard. There in his journal speaks about how he was able to briefly access the Akashic records unfortunately he wasn't able to take them with him. According to the ancient wizard, the records don't have a permanent place they move from one space to another making it even harder to locate.
He was only able to access it two times but it was enough to put his knowledge and power to another level. In his last message, he told how someone could access the records but even with this method it still depended on the person if he would be successful.
"Well it was already good enough that I have this place for myself"
"Them leaving is also an opportunity for me"
Standing in the middle of the secret library the little boy took out hundreds of scrolls and using the mana stones he had he activated them one by one.
"Why should I go and search for uncertainties when I can go for a more certain route"
He continued his dialogue while taking out a beast core its size as big as a child's head. Inside the sapphire core is the image of the beast who previously owned it, a dragon.
"Now I shall make my own Akashic using all the knowledge in this library" he breath slowly then he said
"Let's start now"
Using the power of the beast core all the magic circles inside the hundred laid scrolls glow brightly igniting the tranquil library. The boy without hesitation started chanting a spell he had devised himself. Slowly each and every book on every shelf inside the library glows, and letters from different languages emerge from it. Then as if it was being sucked by a strong force the texts, images and equations found within the library all flew towards a certain place, towards the boy's forehead.
On the boy's forehead, a five-colored magic circle was embedded absorbing all the magical knowledge the library has.
Inside the boy's mind, a space was created to store all the knowledge that came from the library. This space looks just like an orb that constantly moves inside his head.
"Hmmm..."
The orb wasn't stable enough so the boy decided to use the little mana he had. Like mending an unstable house his mana flow gently turning the shaking orb steady.
"More" he spoke then he took out another beast core this time it came from a desert Arachne like the previous beast core the power within it was used.
The process just continued until the boy took another scroll.
Inside the vast amount of knowledge, the boy decided to put the finishing touches.
"Just like any place of knowledge, someone had to oversee it"
Before coming to this stage the boy had used a spell to analyze his way of thinking. How he solves problems and how he tackles his research. All of his skills in creating magical equations to building magical machinery were analyzed by the spell he had created. The result of this analysis was the being who will assist him in using his Akashic records.
He had created an artificial intelligence using himself as the blueprint.
Using the magical scroll in his hand the boy made sure to fully install this but then he was suddenly taken aback when a sudden force made him roll in pain.
The ancient magical books and forbidden text began radiating trying to resist the pull from taking them.
"This is not going to be easy"
Wiping his sweat the boy took out hundreds of mana crystals trying to create a power to restrain the stubborn ancient artifacts.
"BLING!"
All the ancient grimoire to the magical totems all joined forces to fight. These ancient magical artifacts have existed for a long time thus the magic inside them is immense.
"These things are what I needed"
He then decided that it was time to take risks. He closed his eyes and from his body, an astral projection of himself came out. An image of a little boy appeared floating in the middle of the resisting relic and his body.
Using the sheer weight of his consciousness the battle turns into two against one. The boy's body and mind were split into two making it hard for the ancient magical artifacts to fight back.
"Just obey me!"
Using his will he put more pressure but these relics can't be deemed powerful for nothing they start attacking which the boy had anticipated. The moment they attack his body also attack using the spell he had prepared in advance a binding spell was cast. These took them off guard and without warning the boy's overpowering mind suppressed them.
"Now come to me"
Without any options, they finally surrendered the magic within them and were taken inside his body. Seeing this the boy immediately returned afraid that something would go wrong. After that small obstacle, everything just went well. After the last book was taken the boy finally heard what he wanted to hear.
[Ding]
[Congratulations creator you succeed!]
A voice suddenly echoed inside his head strangely this voice was quite the resemblance to his.
The boy sighs feeling tired but his job is not done yet he must first clean the mess he made.
"Okay we are almost there"
Feeling his mind was almost on the brink of collapse the boy just ordered his familiar to clean the mess he made.
"I'm sorry Gale but please clean it for me"
Gale his wind spirit just smiled while using her magic to make sure no one could know what her master had done.
While the boy lets his mind and body rest the magic circle on his forehead is still active. The orb that contains the accumulated knowledge began operating on its own.
[Ding!]
[Insufficient amount of energy.... recalibrating...]
[Archive is being established....]
[Data sequencing....]
[Gathering data and analysis.....]
[Recalibration complete..... energy sufficient]
[Archive is fully established]
[Data sequencing complete]
[Data gathering and analysis completed]
[Waiting for the creator's command]
Without the boy's knowledge the thing he had created started evolving on its own. The orb becomes even more stable as it finally settles inside the mind of its creator.
Gale felt worried about her master looking at his dishevelled appearance the wind spirit decided to summon a bit of breeze to help him rest although he was sleeping on the floor. The little spirit flapped her tiny wings and started removing the scattered scrolls.
...
"I would have been happier if that child never existed!"
"You know I keep wondering if you are indeed our brother"
"You are an eyesore so please leave immediately"
All sorts of voices came haunting him down without mercy. The little boy with his tiny body just stood where he was receiving nothing but hurtful words from the people who should be loving him.
"That child is he really the son of the duke?"
"My family name has been tainted!"
More words echoed in his mind until a voice devoid of any emotion came in.
[Waiting for the creator's command]
[Ding!]
[Please give your command!]
Confused he finally opened his eyes and saw a rectangular floating glass right in front of him. This made him confused until he saw texts written inside it.
[Creator I have used illusion magic to create this hologram]
"Yes I do understand that"
He slowly tried to get up beside him was a tiny little winged fairy, it was Gale his wind spirit. It seems after finishing the tasks given to her she decided to sleep next to her master. The boy decided not to wake her up and just let her sleep on his lap.
"Let's see it seems like I failed but not at the same time"
[Forming conclusion....]
[Ding!]
[According to the analysis creator did indeed fail to create Akashic. More magic and phenomenal knowledge is required to create it]
"Yes I knew that but it's not bad to create your power outlet...sigh then what should I call you"
The boy thought deeply since the one that oversaw the thing he had created was based on him he wanted a human name for it.
"Well then I'll call you Jeremiah"
[Jeremiah is grateful for the creator's kindness]
"Now then what is this I made?"
He never really believed he could create Akashic but he believed that whatever the result of his experiment could lead to the result he wanted. And that is to grow stronger, stronger than anyone in his family.
"Jeremiah give me a brief introduction of the things you can do"
[Analysing....]
[Jeremiah could access all the knowledge taken from the underground library and use it to the creator's command]
[Jeremiah could also synthesize, create new spells and access the skills that came from the creator]
"Well I anticipated that"
The boy thought long enough then a thought flashed in his mind.
"Give me my statistics according to the study of Lenard Agustin"
