Chapter 31: Vastness of the Void.
“UFO detected In sector D25, sending scout.” Tommy the tower observer reported on the global communication channel prepared for this crises.He mentally guided 2 drones towards Adam’s location to investigate the Unknown/Unregistered flying object phenomenon. the drones captured nothing using normal vision, in thermal vision however, they detected a disappearing heat signature of a child like silhouette. They quickly explored different kinds of visions to see the same fading figure each time, until they couldn’t detect him at all.“Lost all visual. The UFO Used an advanced concealment, possible hostage scenario, requesting backup, satellite observers! Do you have visual.”…In the mean time, Adam was 5 km in the air, being hit by a strong wind, the sunlight assaulting his eyes as he flung left and right trying to control his position in space.At first, he thought its going to be made easy by the skill, like what happened with the cluster fabric skill. But once he launched into the air

Chapter 32: Mind Upload.
“Who do you think that was?!” Johnny wondered about the identity of the war machine that caused all that trouble in city 17 in one day. Exposing a hidden criminal organization, and then a dangerous powerful signal that reaches the entire planet originating from the city, a UFO in the middle of the city, and lastly a ghost sonic boom, each one of these events were big enough to have multiple divisions in the tower investigating it. but all of them happening in the span of 2 hours, is a clear indication that they are all linked. “Maybe it’s a warning from the higher ups! They are telling us that we became too sluggish!” Demetri’s point of view wasn’t as grim as Johnny’s expression. he saw countless wars outside earth, way more than what Johnny witnessed. his knowledge of war machines and those who owns them allowed him to deduct that it must be a non hostile, because if it was, the casualties would be uncountable.Read more
Chapter 33: Back to the tree.
“I’m supposed to trust you now and tell you my story?!” Adam chuckled and looked at Keet laying down beside him.“No! You Are supposed to stop treating me like an Artificial Intelligence, because I’m not, and also I’m really worried about you! What happened earlier was by no means normal!”“Okay! I’ll tell you the story later but for now, all you need to know is that I convert food into energy and use this energy to do things like flying and controlling fabric and other stuff.” Adam casually revealed to him as he stood up. “Can I have a mirror please? I want to see how this cool space suit looks on me.”“You care about how you look that much! Is it your girlfriend or something?!” Keet teased him watching him as he changed the helmet of the space suit and started to change the rest of it.Keet was thinking about what could have caused a 9 year old kid to have such abilities. A normal human would never sacrifice his real legs for a prosthetic leg to be able to fly or float, they have ca

Chapter 34: Private island.
The inside of the ship was almost the same as Adam’s living room back home, but smaller, and the ceiling was closer at only 2.5 meters high. It included a comfy sofa, two chairs occupied by Adam and Keet, and a coffee table in the middle.On the wall there were pictures of Adam and his father and mother, some of the pictures were moving and repeating a certain pose or action, it was like a moment frozen in time, so clear and detailed, and almost alive.It was fancy, and every thing smelled nice, Birdy never saw any thing like it before, he knew nothing other then the orphanage and its walls, and every thing he knew about the outside came from the books and comics he always reads.“So what’s your answer?”“You kidding me!! Of course I’ll come! I hate this place, everyone is mean to me! Even if you are going to hell it would be better then this place! But I hope you’re not though! It’s gonna be hot, and I don’t want to die burning! I think I would taste good though…”Keet was already an

Chapter 35: The educational program.
“Because raising a child a thousand kilometers away from any living human is a bad idea!” Keet sighed while sinking into the chair he was sitting on, under the frightened eyes of Birdy, whose suit also melted down into the floor turning into nothingness.“A… Adam… your… friend! What happened… to him?! Was he a ghost!” Birdy jumped behind Adam for protection, visibly shaking in fear, he knew of the existence of cluster fabric, but he had no idea about its function, nor he ever seen it before.To him, the apex of technology, is the old machinery he helps Mr. Roland fix in his work shop. He often heard him talk about other things on the phone, however, he didn’t bother him with questions, to not make him angry, or annoy him and never find a job again.“Don’t worry Birdy! Keet is a friendly ghost.” Adam had many things on his mind, and wasn’t ready to explain the situation to Birdy, not when he himself didn’t fully understand the situation. “Keet! Give Birdy full access to the network and

Chapter 36: Torture device.
On a small floating island among the heavy clouds, shaded by a net made from flexible steel wires with gabs smaller than a man’s head, Adam wearing a black armored space suit covering his entire body, was getting ready to start his flying test.This suit had a safety mechanism in its exoskeleton to prevent any excess bending of any joint, muscle, or bone, to avoid all injuries incase of impacts.He took a final nervous glance at his stats to make sure he have enough energy.[strength: 20.Stamina: 20.vitality: 20.energy: 199/200.]‘Can you change the energy stats back to percentage! It was easier to keep track of it.’ He sometimes found it confusing as he was used to the 100% energy system, and turning it into a point system sometimes made him read it wrong at first.[energy: 99.5%.]Feeling better with the modification, he started to focus on the skill, and moderately exerted some force.Keet was watching him but he didn’t manifest his human form, instead, he had several cables rea

Chapter 37: I'll save you.
Keet didn’t pay him any mind, he was focused on examining the anomaly in front of him, and Birdy wasn’t important to him at all. Living for almost three hundred years made him lose any attachment to human lives that didn’t have any significant to him. Keet wasn’t a cold artificial intelligence, but he wasn’t a human either, he was something in between. Birdy gathered what little courage and determination he had, and approached Adam with the intention of saving him from this unsightly torture, or at least lessen his sentence and share his pain. Sadly, he had too little courage, his knees buckled as he stepped on the vibrating platform and saw Adam’s face up close, several veins were visible on his tensed up neck, and blood red forehead, he was gritting his teeth in pain, sweat dripping from everywhere on him. “Boy! If you go near him you could get crushed by the gravitational field.” Keet calmly warned, not bothering to look at Birdy, he just didn’t want his death to interrupt the e

Chapter 38: Gyrokinesis.
The invisible teardrop shaped vehicle was traveling at Mach 4, which is the maximum legal speed on earth, and also coincidentally, the maximum speed that a silent object can stealthily move without Creating a loud sonic boom that reveals its location.Adam and Birdy were comfortably resting inside their virtual reality capsule, while Keet was busy sorting the data he collected on Adam’s body.“The rules of the game are quite simple, you create an avatar, choose some powers or randomize them, and then dive into the world trying to survive as long as possible.” Birdy explained in the White space, barely containing his excitement to play the game with Adam.“What happens when you die!”“You lose every thing and must start over, new avatar, new powers, and new adventure!”The idea of the game interested Adam a little, he clicked on the game icon, instantly getting transferred to the game lobby with Birdy by his side.“I already tried it once and I got killed by a monster in a cave when I

Chapter 39: The suspicious man.
“That’s an awesome power! I can control things with my mind like the smart villains in the comics, I love it!” Birdy’s excitement reached a whole new heights after reading the description of the telekinesis skill.Telekinesis skill tree: mentally manipulate and interact with objects or matter, can levitate, move, or directly control an object without the need of physical interaction, the amount of manipulation will depend on the size and weight of the object. Can be used on the user to levitate or move in the air, the speed and height will depend on the mental power of the user.Adam reading the description of the telekinesis skill, found it somewhat different from how the game described the Gyrokinesis skill. ‘maybe they needed emphasis on the idea that the skill is limited.’ He correctly thought, as the telekinesis skill was widely known to be overpowered, it had to be limited, otherwise no one would ever choose any other skill if they can just control everything with their mind.“O

Chapter 40:Getting rich.
Adam and Birdy spent the half hour in the testing chamber trying to find the best way they could use their skills together to achieve the best results.Adam’s Gyrokinesis level zero skill only worked by touching the object he wants to manipulate, and his manipulation limits would vary according to the object’s properties, for example, by spending ten mana, he could make a small dagger weigh 10 times its weight for 10 seconds, for each second less he could add a multiplier without spending more mana, if he makes the dagger weighs 20 times it’s weight without spending more mana, it would only last for a moment.Birdy’s telekinesis had a similar limitation, by spending 10 mana, he could make the same dagger fly around and dance in the air for 10 seconds, each second more would use 1 more mana, to throw the dagger at a target with a considerable force, he would spend 10 mana for just the split second of the throw.For both skills, the more the target weighed the more mana they spend, mana
