Secrets Of The Universe Chapter 4
Advertisement
With the glacial floor gone, Jake proceeded to put on the clothes that M gave him.
The clothes were lightweight and were perfect for him.
What Jake wore was simple wear, a baggy t-shirt with length just a little bit below his waist level. Jogger pants, which weren't baggy like the shirt, but slim fitted and also adjustable.
That was what Jake liked. He didn't like feeling restricted.
Ever since Jake entered the Dungeon of Miracles, he became absorbed with the clothes available in the dungeon.
Not that where he lived before didn't have similar clothes, but he wasn't allowed to wear them as it was rare and considered uncivilized.
Jake wasn't wearing any shoes, as M probably forgot to include that.
'Maybe, that is why he is fidgeting right now,' Jake sighed as he looked at the guilty M, who was glancing at him with eyes full of guilt.
M could never lie. That was one of his admirable qualities.
He was an honest being, but he could manipulate the truth.
"M, let me see the rebirth scripture again." Jake's voice was back to normal, but there was a certain tension in it.
If Jake was going to attempt the operation, risking his life, everything needed to be perfect and ready.
M understood that well, that was why he wasn't fazed, "Sure."
He once again brought out an item from the crystal on his forehead. This time it was a rectangular tablet. A mobile device is used for various purposes.
The one with him was connected to the dungeon's mind, which functioned far better than an AI (artificial intelligence).
Jake grabbed the tablet and pressed his index finger on it, which released a small radar that scanned his index finger.
As the only inhabitant of the dungeon apart from M, he knew how to operate the tab. And his DNA was stored in the security, rendering him access to the dungeon's network.
[Welcome, Jake.]
A mechanical voice sounded out from the tablet.

Jake knew the voice. It was the voice of the dungeon.
"Hi, Mira." Jake greeted the spirit of the dungeon.
He received no reply. Mira was a mysterious entity in the dungeon.
Jake thought she was the spirit of the dungeon and gave her a name, based on the dungeon's name.
Yet, she never talks to them and she voices out in a mechanical voice, like that of a machine.
"What is the success of the rebirth scripture?" Jake directly asked.
As an entity with features that are similar to artificial intelligence, Mira was capable of calculating an extremely precise probability.
She could basically know the outcome of something before it even started.
Mira's analytical abilities were off the chart. It was one of the reasons Jake set her as his goal.
[The probability is seventy percent, which is a progress from the previous probability of forty-eight percent.]
Jake grimaced as he thought, 'The stats don't look good, but it is the only chance I have.'
Jake was groomed by M to be a stubborn and determined individual. If there was a way to cut down his determined fate, he would do it.
No matter the cost!
As long as he was alive, that is all that matters!
"Mira, run me through the preparation."
[Affirmative! The first thing…...]
Mira told him everything he needed to prepare before the operation. It was displayed in the form of a hologram created by the tablet.
Items like the Zevik pills, cosmos seaweed, stone of creation, etc.
Some of the items were included by Jake to perfect the operation.
All these items were exceedingly rare. Jake reckoned one might not even get to see one in a lifetime.
It took all of the dungeon's wealth to gather the resources.
[Show me the rebirth technique?]
The Rebirth technique was the core of the scripture. It was a miraculous technique that would create a new body from an old one, the quality might differ though.

But Jake reckoned that if the rebirth technique was further perfected, it would be able to create a new body with increased quality.
"Now that I think of it the rebirth scripture is rather a bland name. Mira, change it to Zevik's New dawn scripture, in honor of the true creators."
[Affirmative!]
Mira's voice sounded differently with a touch of emotion.
Jake looked at the rebirth technique displayed on the screen of the tablet.
Just looking at it would give one a headache.
It was an immensely difficult technique to comprehend. Jake knew that first-hand as he had to learn it before he could improve it.
Up till today, he still had migraines from studying the technique. And this was him that had a godly physique, including the mind, which could resist all mental influence.
Jake skimmed through the technique, checking to see if there was an error in it. He could never be too careful.
The New Dawn Scripture has three sections; the rebirth technique, the items and resources needed for the operations, and the knowledge the user have to possess.
So far he had checked the technique and item section. He was only left with the knowledge section, the most important of them all.
The New Dawn Scripture could only be practiced by the user. One could not practice it on another person. That means the user has to perfectly master all three sections of the scripture, including the knowledge section.
The knowledge section contained important information needed for the effectiveness of the scripture. Pieces of information like the different race's physical anatomy, how to apply the items acquired, steps of the technique, and many more.
It was needed to learn all the information, which was really hard to memorize. Jake could only do that after two years, which was a remarkable feat.
Jake cross-checked the knowledge section displayed on the tablet, to see if he missed any vital information.
Seeing he was clear, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
After a minute or two, his icy blue opened ferociously as if it was a snowstorm.
'It is either sink or swim' Jake knew he was at a crucial juncture of his life.
He would either fail and die or succeed and live.
Death was not an option. Not when he still had a parent to look for.
He looked at the talisman on his chest, the silver patterns were waning out of existence, proof of his temporarily bought time.
The talisman wasn't as effective as before. It wouldn't be long before it stopped being effective.
Jake reviewed his thoughts, then spoke to a silent M, "M, have you prepared the location for me?"
"Yes...and I keep telling you, call me master M, you damn child." white fumes were coming out of the cat's nose and he snapped back.
"No way in hell am I going to call such a cute cat, 'master'." To Jake, M was a fluffy creature. Even the cold Jake wasn't immune to his cuteness.
"I am not cute. Wait till I show you my true form, you will be terrified."
"Yeah. Yeah. You keep saying that," Jake disregarded M's claim.
M's cat eyes sharpened as his voice turned serious, "Jake, I will ask you again. Are you sure of your decision?"
Hearing that, Jake knew that it was his master talking to him rather than the tsundere cat.
"Yes. As you can see, I don't have much time left. It is better to just risk it" Jake gave sound reasoning, which M agreed with.
M understood his choice, so he hid his worries away "Then, I will take you to the room where you will activate the technique."
A streak of light coursed through M's body, as he clapped his paws together, producing a blinding white light that enthralled everything into its white light.
By the time the white lights disappeared, Jake and M vanished.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
