Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Mental Evaluation IV (Is He Just Making Things Out?)
For a full minute, Researcher Zhao simply stood there, staring at the small brain in front of him, his mind racing to process the implications.Then, snapping back to reality, he issued his next command.“Continue supplying mana. And can we create a containment box filled with liquid mana for storage?” he instructed the fleet AI monitoring the situation.The moment he saw the brain-like structure, he knew he had to treat it as an actual brain. If it had mimicked his own, there was a high chance it lacked the ability to sustain itself independently. Instead of blood, it was most likely relying on mana to function. If they failed to meet its needs, the consequences could be unpredictable—or worse, irreversible.The fleet AI instantly acknowledged the order. It, too, had deemed keeping the entity alive a priority, and for now, mana was the only viable solution.“Also,” Zhao continued, his mind racing ahead, “integrate the containment box with VR capabilities. We need to see if the brain
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Mental Evaluation V (Was it Luck?)
“So, what happened to the brain after it fully transformed into an organic one? Did it continue to sustain itself with mana, or did it require normal human nutrition?”Amir didn’t hesitate this time. “During the transformation process, it remained sustained by mana. But the moment the conversion was complete, the brain started showing signs of an energy crisis. Its cells began running out of energy, which triggered an emergency response from the monitoring AI. To prevent irreversible damage—neuron death, brain cell degradation—the AI immediately put the brain into stasis.”The evaluator’s eyes narrowed slightly. “And after that?”“After that, the team placed it in a medipod and used the DNA extracted from its cells to construct a body for it.” Amir exhaled. “Once the body was completed, they removed the stasis and immediately logged the consciousness into VR for evaluation.”The evaluator leaned back slightly, digesting the information. “And what did they find?”“There was no detectab

“Why stop at fourteen? And why only test on humans and not other conscious species?” the evaluator asked, his tone shifting to one of analytical curiosity. From a rational standpoint, halting at just fourteen when there were still numerous variables left unexplored didn’t quite make sense."While Adam’s brain was undergoing the organification process, an ethical meeting was convened to revise the empire’s research ethics code to address this unprecedented situation. Although we suspected that the material itself either lacked consciousness or contained a blank consciousness that could be molded by the first species it came into contact with, it technically fell outside the original ethics code. However, upon realizing that Adam’s brain would develop a fully unique and independent consciousness once it became completely organic, restrictions were placed on further experimentation. The researchers were only permitted to answer the most pressing questions before the return journey, whic
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Giving it a Name
“But didn’t they give the material a name?” Aron asked, realizing that throughout the report, it had only been referred to as "the material."{Due to its significance, they decided it would be best if the emperor named it,} Nova replied, materializing another hologram displaying the meeting notes where the decision had been made.“Mh…” Aron hummed thoughtfully, considering possible names. A smile spread across his face as he settled on one. “How about ‘Fountain of Life’? Since the material turns into a liquid state when near life, and it needs to be in liquid form for the conversion process, I think it fits quite well. Don’t you think so?” He glanced at Nova, curious about her thoughts.{........}Nova stared at him, speechless. Her expression practically screamed, Is this really the best you could come up with, given that brain of yours?After a brief silence, she finally responded. {Then, I will designate the name as ‘Fountain of Life,’ or FOL for short.}Deciding there was no harm

“How was your evaluation?” Ramsey asked as he dropped into a seat beside Amir in the massive, theater-like hall. The room was slowly filling up, with more individuals materializing every few moments, greeting friends nearby before settling into their designated seats. A low hum of conversation spread through the space, resembling the anticipation before a movie screening.“Mine was fixated on an asteroid I was exploring,” Ramsey continued, shaking his head. “They kept pressing for details and I had to talk about it for over half an hour.”Amir glanced around, scanning the crowd for familiar faces. “Mine focused on Adam and the material. That’s what I spent most of my time discussing.”Ramsey frowned. “What do you think they were really evaluating us on? If they kept steering the conversation toward specific topics, it feels like they were looking for something beyond just our mental state.”Before Amir could respond, a figure materialized nearby. Recognizing her instantly, Ramsey reac

"Due to the diversity of worlds and the broad range of participants, everyone could find something they enjoyed, making SFGS the dominant force in pop culture and entertainment. Each story runs until it reaches a satisfying conclusion, at which point the impact of each real human participant is calculated. Their final reward is determined by multiplying a base sum by their impact score.The highest payout to date went to Sony Hayas, who achieved an unprecedented impact score of 300,000. With a base reward of 10,000 END, his total earnings reached a staggering 3 billion END. He accomplished this feat by managing to slay a dragon that was deemed nearly impossible to kill, a creature that had terrorized its world, using humans as its servants.'I'm sure you're wondering where that kind of money comes from, especially since weekly episodes are free for everyone to watch,' the narrator said, pausing for a moment to let the audience ponder the question. Most immediately thought of ads, the

“.......”Amir and everyone else in the room sat in stunned silence, unable to even clear their throats, let alone speak. What they were witnessing was so shocking, so utterly beyond belief, that it rendered them motionless.For people who had already experienced the impossible, the creation of new life shouldn't have been this overwhelming. Yet, none of them displayed the composure or understanding one might expect. The sheer scale of what they were seeing, and the completely unfamiliar method by which it had happened, made it feel like an entirely different kind of revelation.On screen, a time-lapse played, beginning with the capture of Lee Joon Ho and progressing through a surreal sequence of events, leading to the birth of entirely new races from the fruits of enormous trees.Elves, both normal and dark. Dwarves. Fairies. Giants.The narrator’s voice cut through the heavy silence."Although they may look like something out of a fantasy novel or other forms of media, that is preci

‘Looks like he’s a monster in combat as well,’ thought an awakener among the select few combat personnel who returned with the fleet.‘This level of strength wasn’t even in the training simulations,’ he added, watching in disbelief as Aron moved at an inhuman speed toward a specific location. Every awakener in ARES—now called, the Imperial Military—had undergone rigorous combat evaluations, much like the infamous Reaper’s evaluation. Their tests simulated battles against a wide range of awakened opponents, each with different abilities and strengths. Yet, even in those scenarios, he had never seen anyone exhibit the kind of raw power and speed that Aron was demonstrating.The awakener himself was no weakling. His ability granted him control over wind, making him one of the deadliest combatants due to the range and force of his attacks. It also allowed him to achieve unparalleled speed. However, even with that advantage, he knew he couldn’t match Aron’s current velocity. And it wasn’t

The Zelvora Scapegoat
“Would you like to test it?” Masimbia asked, his tone calm and measured. There was no point in further explanations, he knew their minds were already racing with doubt. Instead of arguing over the validity of the technology, he would let the results speak for themselves.Silence.None of them answered immediately. Their hesitation was obvious, their expressions guarded. Trust between them and the Empire was at its lowest, this was nothing more than a transactional relationship, devoid of any real goodwill.And with what they knew of the Zelvora’s capabilities, both in offense and defense, some from firsthand experience, how could they be sure this wasn’t a trap?What if, the moment they put on the devices, the Empire activated them?Trapping them in an illusion. Brainwashing them. Shattering their minds. Or, worst of all, extracting their memories, laying bare their governments’ secrets, their personal vulnerabilities, handing the Empire an undeniable edge.The risk was too great.
Dreznor II
For hours, Dreznor spoke, recounting every memory that surfaced. His voice wavered at times, thick with emotion, but he pressed on. He told Little Protagonist about his past, the life he once had, and the chains that had bound him ever since he was fifteen.His civilization had lost a brutal war against a neighboring power, and the terms of surrender had been merciless. Anyone who had played a role in the war—whether as a soldier, a medic, a logistics officer, or even a mere clerk in the government—was stripped of their freedom. Families of these individuals were not spared either. Some were forced into indentured servitude, while others, like Dreznor and his mother, were outright sold as slaves. His father, being a valiant General who had fought to the very end and perished on the battlefield, sealed their fate. Yet fortune intervened, as Dreznor and his mother found themselves purchased together by a single owner.For thirty years, Dreznor had known nothing but servitude. He had gro
Dreznor
He didn’t have much time to think. The sudden appearance of the hologram had momentarily halted his descent into unconsciousness, but it was only a brief reprieve. The weight of his injuries and exhaustion soon resumed their pull, forcing him to act quickly.His gaze lingered on the lifeless forms of his family, their bloodied bodies forever frozen in time. He had nothing left. No reason to hesitate. If revenge was possible, then he would seize it. And if this was nothing more than a hallucination, then so be it, at least he would soon be reunited with them.Summoning the last embers of strength in his battered body, he lifted his trembling, bloodstained hand and pressed [YES]. The moment his finger made contact, the darkness claimed him entirely.Yet, he was still aware.‘I’m pretty sure I lost consciousness… so why am I still here?’ The thought echoed through his mind as he found himself suspended in a void, weightless and without pain, yet utterly disconnected from any sensation.

An Offer
"Although the suggestion is good, unfortunately, I cannot make a decision on this matter. I will need to report back to my government so they can decide before I can provide a conclusive response," said the Elara representative the moment Masimbi concluded the introduction and explanation of the first agenda."The same goes for me," added the Valthorin representative.As if a dam had broken, nearly every other representative echoed similar statements, citing the need to consult their respective governments before making any commitments. Only a few, including the Xor’Vak representative, remained silent.Masimbi, unfazed by the predictable response, simply nodded. "Then we will postpone this agenda until you receive decisions from your leadership." He didn’t even wait for the silent ones to speak, already anticipating that they, too, would say the same.With everyone either nodding in agreement or remaining passive, Masimbi wasted no time and moved on to the next topic on the agenda: bu
A Dilemma
Over the next two days, the Astral Conclave representative and their entourage found little excitement, spending most of their time within the space station. Workers meticulously organized their inventory, transferring cargo from their ships to storage, while those with free time explored the station, some out of curiosity, others to analyze the empire’s design philosophy and compare it to their own.Concerns about being spied on had been dismissed early. Upon arrival, their security personnel conducted thorough scans for surveillance devices, only to discover that the empire had taken extreme measures to ensure privacy. The station's walls had a unique structure, two parallel layers filled with mana in its gaseous form, separated by a mana-free void. This design effectively blocked both conventional surveillance methods and mana-based detection techniques. The sheer level of effort and resources invested into guaranteeing privacy was almost unsettling, signaling just how far the empi
Trade Hub
"Now that's strange," the Yrall Coalition representative thought as he reviewed the basic information about the Trade Hub, which had been included alongside the docking details shared moments ago.He was certain that the empire hadn’t possessed this space station during their last mana stones exchange. That left only two possibilities: either construction had already begun at that time, but the station had been too small to be detected from their previous vantage point, or, far more astonishing, it hadn’t existed at all, and the empire had managed to construct this massive facility in less than a year.Although the Yrall Coalition had the capability to achieve such rapid construction, it was far from cost-effective. Completing a project of this scale within the same timeframe would require nearly five times the usual resources compared to a standard construction timeline. Their ability to pull it off stemmed from their vast and highly efficient industrial production systems. However,
The Second Coming
Time waited for no one, moving forward unbound by the events of the universe. Finally, the day of the second mana stone exchange arrived.A welcoming fleet stood ready in an empty patch of space, patiently awaiting the arrival of the representatives. This was both a customary gesture and a security measure, though this time, the fleet was more than four times larger than at the last exchange. The reason was simple—the exact number of arriving ships remained unknown, but the empire was certain it would be at least triple the previous turnout. The increased mana stone quotas required a greater volume of materials for exchange, and, in addition, the Conclave representatives were expected to bring their own products to sell to the empire.As the agreed time for arrival approached, the crew aboard the welcoming fleet remained on high alert. There was always the possibility that the Conclave forces would emerge from the wormholes with weapons blazing, and until both sides knew each other we
A Quest
"Anything you're seeing that I’m not?" Aron asked, turning to Henry, who was closely examining a piece of the FOL material inside a transparent box.Henry, having already discovered some of his ocular abilities, focused on the material, his enhanced vision revealing details beyond normal perception. Even with his abilities, the most distinct feature he observed was the presence of ultra-thin mana threads weaving through the FOL material, holding it together."I don’t know what you’re seeing, but from my perspective, I can say with certainty that the reason the FOL material shifts between liquid and solid states is due to the mana threads binding it," Henry said, his voice filled with intrigue.As he spoke, a holographic projection appeared, sharing his vision with Aron. Through Henry’s eyes, the mana threads pulsed subtly, shifting from a neutral yellow to a vivid green—the color representing the esoteric mana of life—whenever they detected an unshielded person nearby. The moment this
Heading to the Lab
With the next two weeks included, this month had been one of the most chaotic for them. They underwent numerous procedures, followed by deeply emotional reunions with their families and friends. These reunions were further highlighted by the emperor’s welcoming speech, delivered in their presence alongside their loved ones, just hours before their return home. The program was carefully scheduled to conclude mere minutes before their ships docked at the space elevator, allowing for long-awaited physical reunions to finally take place.Yet, while they reunited with their families and embarked on their well-earned vacations, the agency responsible for their return showed no signs of slowing down. The last of the exploration fleets were still expected to arrive in the coming months, keeping operations in full swing.At the same time, the Joint Task Force was conducting its final checks in preparation for the upcoming mana stone trade, as well as the commencement of permanent stays for Ast
