[Mother!!!]
Ace Anderson was so astonished that he did not blink for the next few seconds, then he heard his mother giggling. The mechanical voice was no more and was replaced with his mother's beautiful voice.
{Suprised?}
[Wh....what are you?]
{Your Mother}
[No way my mother died two days ago she's already buried.]
{Then I'm your virtual mother}
As he is conversing with his virtual mother he takes a seat next to the control panel.
[Explain what you mean]
{I Eve Anderson copied my consciousness and memories to create my virtual self since I could not bear to leave you lonely...he he he}
[Who told you I'd be lonely dear crazy mother of mine!?]
{Dear God my son is beginning to be rebellious and hurting my feelings....I'm going to cry.}
[OK I get it I missed you.]
{Hehe he ..... now that you are an adult how about leaving our little nest and have an adventure, maybe find yourself a girlfriend or two.}
[Sigh.... what kind of mother encourages her son to be a playboy.]
{Yours}
Ace forgot that he had buried his mother not too long ago and enjoyed squabbling with his virtual mother.
[So you want me to leave this place I've lived all my life and go on an adventure? Any ideas of where to go to next?]
{You can start with leaving the forest.}
His mother told him they are in the deepest part of Rupunga forest a dangerous forest with beasts capable of levelling a city in a matter of minutes. She told him that with her teachings he could leave the forest safely with no issues. She also gave him a detailed analysis of the beasts in the forest their strengths and their weaknesses. Then she told him the closest city from the forest was Alvion city which was also called the city of adventurers, it is also the easiest to get identification documents.
[When do you think I should leave and are you going to stay here.]
Once he asked that this his virtual mother smacked. She explained that he will only prepare food and water and put it in the store house then store water in to the tank in this underground Base. Once that is done she will infrom him what to do next.
Ace left the underground Base and went to hunt for meat and gather some fruits and herbs. Hunting the beasts in Rupunga forest was easy for him since he has been doing it for three quarters of his life. It took him a month to hunt enough food and gather enough fruits and herbs to fill the stor house to the brim. He also took two weeks to fill the tanks in the underground Base.
He went back to the core room after everything was done to listen to the next step.
{You finally come when it is convenient for you bad son}
He found that his virtual mother was pouting. He spent the next trying to satiate her and endured her merciless teasing.
[So mother how do we carry everything]
Once he asked her this she smiled widely before she began explaining.
She said that the whole Base is an artifact that she created for him the only one of its kind in the whole world of Namleck. Since he had used his blood to activate it it belonged to him and could listen to his commands, she also said that now she is the artifact.
{Grin... so son how does it feel to be back in your mum's body}
[Such a vulgar mother] he muttered
She said that the artifact could help him in directions since his since of direction is the only flaw he had. She said she would first release one hundred satellite artifacts in to Namlecks space then update the mapping system. Ace approved of that and for the next four hours the mapping was being updated while they were bantering.
Once everything was completed she told him to activate the merging sequence and get to his bed in the cabin In the next hour. Ace did not get why he had to go to bed but he did as he was told.
In the next hour as Ace was lying on his bed his body started hurting and the pain was increasing exponential every minute. The pain was so unbearable that he passed out in twenty minutes. Although he was passed out he kept groaning indicating how much pain he was in. When Ace regained consciousness it was already night time.
{You are awake son, the merger was successful}
Ace was startled when he heard his mom's voice in the head. He just ignored it and slept.
