《The Unsorcerer》1st Movement: Repaying Kindness With His Own
Advertisement
"- Systems all green. Transferring control now. -"
Ghost Eye's words echoed in Cipher's ears as he was pushed out from his mindscape.
The 39 mentally year old boy gradually opened his azure orbs as he came back to the physical world. As soon as he gained back control of his body, Cipher noticed a major change in his build both internally and externally.
His skin was more fairer and smoother than it was before. The tiny build that suffered undernourishment was now replaced with a healthy and nurtured physicality.
His senses especially his sense of sight, smell, and hearing were heightened to an extent. He could tell it was greatly enhanced.
The muscles which were lacking mass before, was now exhibiting with a suitable amount of firmness. Just quite right for his child-like body.
Cipher was, all in all impressed by the improvement that his physiology had went through while he was unconscious.
"The serum really live up to its name."
And it sure did.
What was supposed to be a month of physical changes was shortened to 2 days.
From his stockpile of acquired knowledge, the serum that was administered to him, called Bio X Factor, was an anti-toxin created by 24th Century biological researchers and scientists to help the average human body accomodate the disorientation caused by space flight.
That was the standard version.
The one that currently within his system however, was the militarized version.
Meaning the kind that creates Super Soldiers.
Unlike the standard Bio X Factor, Factor EX creates appropriate nutrients for each organs in corresponds to the subject's body chemistry while enhancing both mental and physical capabilities to the pinnacle of human perfection or even super levels.
It also to some extent force evolution, if needed, to the body in order to adapt to its surrounding environment.
A well sought weapon for infiltrating human-hazard environments for insurgencies and anarchists.
Also the changing process exponentially speed up thanks to the energy produced by his 3 Chakra Centers associated with the body.
Cipher stopped his musings over his well nourished body and walked towards the woman, his savior, slumped down the dirt road.

He could tell that her breathing was ragged based on how her chest heave up and down heavily, indicating her gasp for more air.
Kneeling down, the brown haired boy placed his two fingers against the woman's wrist.
In his vision, a window screen popped up showing the woman's heart rate and vital signs. Cipher's brows furrowed seeing the erratic behavior of the person's heartbeat.
"It looks like she was poisoned..."
>
"Probably. She must have been infected when we were there. She needs to be treated immediately but first, we need to find some shelter."
>
Cipher's concerns was indeed true. The surroundings were dimmed by the night that the only source of light came from the moonbeam radiated by the silver platter moon.
Not to mention that the hooded female laid unconscious on the cold rocky pavement.
Without any delays, Cipher used his Technokinesis causing his eyes to brim with indigo brilliance. Excited Psion particles flowed inside his body down to his fingertips, forming honeycomb hexagons as he conjured something.
SHING!
In a second, a small yet unfamiliar object materialized on his hand.
The object had a weird shape that was out of Iarica's standards. Covered in a shiny metallic luster, the palm-size device boasted a cigar-like structure with 2 circle shapes protruding on both of its sides.
An all-around drone, to be precised. Such could be achieved if one has a higher rate in Technology Manipulation.
Unlike Psionic and other construct abilities, Technological Construct was more complex and itricate since in order to create a design one should know every detail of the construct that needed to be created; composition, process, parts and etc.
Ghost Eye was an example of Technological Construct created by Cipher's subconscious as a defensive protocol from the Legacy's information overload.
Another surge of energized Psion particles flooded Cipher's mind and the drone began to hover in mid-air, its rotors expelled green particles indicating it was powered by a miniature E-M Condenser; a E-M Particles capacitor used to aid in the distribution of energy and fuel for space shuttles and military weapons.
As the drone maneuvered by Ghost Eye flew searching for a possible shelter, Cipher then carried the unconscious woman bridal style, his tiny arms easily raising a body twice his weight while trekking the dirt road and his eyesight turned night vision optics.

It didn't take long for Cipher's drone to find a shelter, one made from wood and hay that happened to be at the entrance to the forest.
Though the insides were patched with cobwebs and impaired furnitures, it was perfect for a resting place and a temporary safehouse.
Just to be in the safer ground, Cipher fortified the place with a lightwave barrier while instructing the drone to conduct a surveillance in the surrounding area.
Who knows what predators might lurk at night. Not to mention that the place seems shady and suspicious judging on how it was erected near the entrance of the woody vegetation filled with predatory magical beasts.
Placing the woman over the bed made of hay, Cipher prepared himself to do an overall body check-up.
But before he and Ghost Eye could begin something caught his eyes.
The hood and face mask covering the female's visage was displaced, revealing her shining and outstanding features to the boy.
Elven ears that were blemished with fur...smooth silvery white hair that resembles a glistening moon...fine-boned nose that exemplies its exquisite shape...light brown skin that shone like bronze as if they were tanned by sunlight...
She was without a doubt, stunning and gorgeous.
>
Blushing on Ghost Eye's remark, Cipher then refocused his eyes to the holographic screen monitoring the unconscious' vital signs.
"She's getting weaker minute by minute..."
Putting his right childish right hand over the woman's well toned abdomen, a stream of light scanned the female's overall build.
VRIM...
>
Cipher glanced at the scan results projected by Ghost Eye and he was, for the lack of a better word, not amused.
"Too many healed broken bones and other past injuries...damaged uterus...?"
>
The boy could only nod in agreement to his A.I's assessments. Cipher's understanding and sympathetic glimmered eyes hovered again to the female's face. He had a rough idea what really happened to this person.
As his mind was still under the effects of energized Psions, he kept looking at the inert woman for a couple of minutes before his mind was assaulted by a buzzing sound.
BUZZ!
"Keh...!"
Cipher cowered in pain as multiple snippets and emotions infiltrated his mind and heart. The following second, his eyes were dawned with a new realization as he whirled his gaze at the woman.
To think that this woman was the same woman who showed kindness to him back at the orphanage...
The one who always sneaked in a pot of porridge to his room whenever he was punished for things that he didn't do...
The one who always treat his bruises caused by bullying from other orphans like himself...
And to think that this person had suffered such horrible and terrible fate...
Cipher's jaw clenched tightly, his muscles tensed up and his mental energy began to leak out uncontrollably. Luckily, he managed to contain his anger.
"Ghost Eye, you saw that didn't you?"
"Affirmative. It was the result of your Psychometry at work Sir alongside with Empathy. Two passive abilities within Psionic Manipulation's system."
Calming himself, Cipher only nod his head without voicing a question knowing very well what his A.I. had entailed.
One was a Psionic ability that perceive the residual information of an object and/or person by using senses while the other one was an ability to fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others.
>
"I know...,"
Cipher paused, his tiny hands filled with vigor on the woman's abdomen and his glowing indigo eyes filled with pure determination and kindness gazed back at the woman's face that was displaying an expression between pain and distress, and continued,
"I will heal you Ms. Isvaeriel. For repaying the kindness that you showed me, I'll definitely heal you!"
At his words, Cipher's build was engulfed in a fiery surge of energized and excited indigo colored Psions, both Technokinesis and Psychokinesis in full force as both powers melded together in an unending spiral.
