"What the hell is that thing?" Aura said, while the trio looked at the corpse of the monster. As always, Benjamin turned towards Herman, who shook his head.
"I don't have any clue. It's something that shouldn't be possible, fusing a person and the magic crystal was something that people tried in the past, and all of them failed. We found something that is beyond our present knowledge." Herman calmly said. He was excited about this monster, but he understood that everything here could be beyond unknown to him, and be a grave danger. They rested for a moment to regenerate their strength. After that they went further and found three doors, one on the left, one on the right and one in the middle.
"Do you feel anything behind each door?"
"The left and right one are a lot weaker compared to the one in middle. We should explore the left and right one first, just in case if something important is there." Benjamin nodded, they choose to go through the right door. They did the same as indoor before.
"Nothing happened. I think it's suspicious. Be careful" Benjamin said. They walked slowly into the room. After that, they checked for traps, but found nothing. The room was average in size, and was well lit. They saw that it was probably someone room. It had a bed in the middle and few doors that led to bathroom and wardrobe. The room was practically empty.
"So the person who made this place lived in this room? It doesn't have any dust on furniture, and the air is fresh. I don't know much about magic, but if someone made this place in ancient times, the formation keeping all of this should collapse. Don't you think, Herman?" Aura said.
"Yeah, that's true, also the power supply of this formation, which means someone was able to connect to mana vein. We are lucky that monster you killed was so weak. In the best case scenario, the monster on the end of this place is weakened significantly after so much time, or it mutated into something that can't do anything. We also need to find theme of this place." Aura raised her brow.
"A theme?" Herman nodded.
"Most people use this places for one purpose. In one, you could find experiments with undead. In other chimeras, and in next one illusions. These places are very hard to maintain, let alone to keep experiments, so making several things at one place is costly and dangerous." Aura nodded slightly, as a thanks for explaining.
"It would help us, to take books and try to understand them, but we don't know if there is any kind of hidden mechanism, that will activate if the weight of the bookshelf changes. For now, the best decision is to check another room and then explore further."
....
Kurkhak was wondering factory until he felt something. He turned around his metallic head, and smiled.
"It's nice to see you master, although not completely personally." Jax nodded with a smile. He was there in the form of a spirit. It was a projection of his mind, that he could create in places he was in the past.
"How is your body doing? Are there any problems?" Kurkhak shook his head.
"It's perfect, I can even taste things." Jax made Kurkhak a robotic body, that was similar to what he looked like in the past. Kurkhak's body was 2m tall it had pointy ears, and was quite wide. The body was made from special alloy that Jax created. He had a handsome face, and fangs that protruded from his lower jaw. Jax planned to give him a living body, but Kurkhak wanted something better.
"I'm glad. How expansion of the factory is going?" Kurkhak metallic face smiled.
"Everything is going according to plan. But how did you acquire something like space magical stone or time, there are even more of abstract ones here?"
"I made a deal. You don't need to worry about it. And how It is reacting now? Is it able to understand things now?" Jax asked.
"Everything is going excellent." Both of them walked towards a new room in the factory. When they arrived, a voice greeted them.
"Hello sir Kurkhak. It's nice to see you creator, is everything going according to plan?" Voice asked with concern.
"Yeah, Adam, it does. I just visited to check if you feel alright." Jax was looking at an enormous glass ball that was filled with white substance. The glass ball glowed.
"Yes! Thanks to you connecting me to the internet and your knowledge, I was able to learn so much! Although I don't understand certain topics such as why people feel so much greed. Isn't it illogical to take away from people, when if treated right they can give you more in the long term?" Jax smiled bitterly.
"It is Adam, it is. Don't you want to see the world around you?" Jax asked. Adam was a project he created. He extracted thousands of souls, and purified them from their memories. He then fused them together to create Adam, although the core of Adam comes from a different place. When he created a connection with Earth to allow internet to come to this world, a soul shard appeared. Jax inspected this shard. He saw it belonged to a blonde man with blue eyes. This man's body was perfect, and the only clothe he wore was a leaf behind his legs. His name was Adam, after he saw all memories in that shard, Jax started to unconsciously cry. Jax felt extreme sadness, at the sight of this fragment.
'So you really existed. You did your best, I will use your shard the best I can. You will help humanity in different way' Jax said that to himself after that. He then used this as a core of this being.
"I would gladly do that, but am I allowed to do this?" Adam asked. Jax smiled and nodded.
"You are, but you need to choose what body you want. Although it will take some time to create a living body and controlling it will take some time. And it has limitation." Jax could grant him a living body anyway, but he wanted to say everything important before.
"I understand creator, but I want to feel the world the same way as you do. Non offence, sir Kurkhak, I don't think your mechanical body is worse." Adam glowed dimmer. Kurkhak smiled.
"Don't worry, Adam, I understand wanting to have a living body." Kurkhak choose this body, to help Jax and serve by his side forever.
"Okay, but before that I need to ask someone about opinion, don't worry it will not affect you getting a body." After that, Jax disappeared.
....
"I finally defeated this boss! It took me days, but I did this!" Elizabeth yelled, with excitement. Then she felt something and turned her head to see a person about which she thought about all the time.
"It's been a while" Jax smiled. Elizabeth rushed towards him, but she passed through him.
"Projection?" Jax nodded.
"I know it's hard for you, but it will only take a few months. I have an important question for you." Elizabeth was sad, but she nodded.
"Go ahead."
"Well, so the situation goes like this..." Jax explained the situation with Adam and creating him a living body.
"So you want to give him a body that is a combination of me and you? I mean, it's a very difficult decision." Jax nodded with understanding.
"That's why I didn't do anything, and immediately went to ask you."
"I have two conditions."
"Sure, go ahead." Jax understood she needs to accept it, on her own.
"I want him to look like a combination of us, and him to be young." She looked with expectation. 'So that's her idea'
"If he agrees, that's fine." Elizabeth nodded at this. After that, Jax disappeared.
