Part:1 My precious is really here, but it’s full of bad translations!

'So, if my psyche is working in this puddle, where is my soul?' I asked myself in individual immersion.

The answers to this query were a profound revelation that uncovered what I should have already expected before, as my soul is inside of this nanomachine agglomeration in the form of an imperfect puddle.

The search for information and clues taught me that I’m not a copied self over the many nanomachines that compose this body. It even established with security, that my mind isn't divided into pieces, nor was it forming part of a twisted DNA byproduct inside densely packed cells.

Yet it was at this time that I realized something...

This AI is a hard worker at making me feel stupid. I’m feeling useless right now because, with all this time, I didn’t identify the immense mistake in the console window. Nanomachines 130 – Puddles 1. If this doesn’t ring a bell then you can’t laugh at me, because what this represents is that 130 ‘nanomachines’ should be 130 nanometers or maybe even a bit less than a micrometer in size. If I am a puddle, wouldn’t this be too small?

Like 130 neurons and now you realize that not only in numbers but maybe in 'size' of intelligence you are also going braaains~.

So, what is a meter to a machine?

A18, do you know what a meter is?

What is a 'meter'...

Searching database...

Unit of measure defined by a rod or lightspHIF53%#~

As expected. Not only did it get the nanomachine concept wrong, saying an NM is a Nanomachine or micromachine. This AI doesn't even handle distance accurately!

But then, how does it calculate space between words, size of the windows? This is sooo weird!

Sad to find my current results. I decided to calm down. According to them, it is indisputable that the word nanomachine is not handled accurately by the system as it became an incorrect term sorted by an AI which struggled over specific translations. An idea which gets me to think, that this AI might be pranking me on purpose. Even with such thoughts, I needed to decrypt these 'concepts' to something more understandable by my human mind.

So the term ´nano' which is smaller than cells, is improperly applied and makes me swear at the AI's interpretations once again. Android 16 is dumb as expected, maybe I should teach it to gender-bend and become 18.

Luckily, the way it got the secret words for cat videos surprised me and released my suppressed tension. As a normal human male in my past life, I had a bit of excessive brain-killing time, something that I would deem normal when any pure mind had access to the abyss called the Internet or those insta-face apps.

This takes us to an odd question: What's an NM if not a nanomachine?

For that, we need to think like the AI...

What was it trying to achieve by fusing my language with ‘its’ language?

And with a smarter approach, we can say that the AI tried to translate my memories and ended in partial failure due to problems in translation, which it probably knew would happen. This gave rise to terms that are separated from or are unique to both; like alien language that can’t be described between us. Maybe this refers to that ‘undefined variable’ from before or a non-recognizable concept. Yet before we know what an NM is, we need to continue to find the AI’s purpose.

So what was the AI’s purpose in translating in such a buggy way?

Well, It’s not for it to become intelligent or complete, it’s for me to be able to understand its machine language and repair its bugs. So in fact, the term nanomachine worked for a starter course, because I thought about things like transistors being united and the like. You could also think of them like legos or mini-machines. But it seems this body is not made of earth's concept of robotic, at the very least, not the typical one.

Also, it seems the menu can be changed with my level comprehension of it, it’s as if the AI tries to analyze the way I organize my thoughts while trying to help me in reparations. But basically, all I had till now was like a bad aperitif and the waiter called AI has to apologize for such a confusing menu.

In fact, it appears similar to joining two foreigners in conversation and the more they interact the more they comprehend each other. But I have an advantage and that is that I can search for memories and try to understand some concepts which were normally outside of my league.

With a compiled memory and things to search for the correct terms, I partially organized the real thing. It needed a throughout and meticulous storage delving. Translations are 'arduous stuff' to do because there is always a chance of them going wrong. Only a God might have the ability to teach a player in those litRPGs, a complete system with the world's races language proficiently. But here, there is no god, I am alone and without another person to help me! There’s only my own mind and my other mind here... which is an AI that talks with my voice inside my head while it shows me a crudely-stitched menu in blue boxes with my shitty handwriting…

I can't make the translations 100% accurate!

Pitiful, ungraceful and utterly Hateful!

And wrong yet again android 16!

You are like an alien that learned Basic English but talks in Irish while I speak American English. Add to that, that you aren’t a native speaker. By taking this into account, the translated material will be deemed as a horror story for editors. That was what I thought as I continued reading the stuff from my memories. Yes, I can’t see… So this is akin to mindreading myself, which is creepy because I am reliving my weird experiences and most hidden secrets. I am even remembering the time I… Oh, my God!… Did I ever say my handwriting sucks?!

Part 2: Correcting the AI’s communication problems.

Choosing concepts from my memories, I read definitions ranging from chemistry, physics, and other types of sciences and technologies. It was a quest for better translation terms... It took me a while, but the energy from the heat source seems to be replenishing the NMs because there is no new warning appearing. Yes, I have time and I needed to have good equipment to leave my puddle (comfort zone). Who knows if there are zombies or COCOnuts out there? At least not me.

After reading, NMs are like micro-organs. Bigger than what you would expect and composed of smaller pieces. These pieces have smaller parts yet again. So we have three levels of units that were wrongly interpreted as one.

Starting from the lower size is what we call the real nanomachines, which are the smallest of the trio, they are probably molecule level and can be separated into atoms. These nanomachines form molecule agglomerations that are similar to biological cells and are thus called bigger machines, so instead of 'nano', we use 'micro' to call our second in the trio 'micro-machines'. Finally, the last term is the one used by the AI; NMs should be replaced with NBs or NRs, because the term used by AI is actually an aggrupation of micromachines. An organized group of nanomachines forms a micromachine, and clusters of micromachines form an NBs.

NR and NB are used for nanorobot. The definition of nanorobots was directed at machines that can manipulate things at the ‘nano’ scale, but not necessarily being small to do so. I don’t even remember when I studied that stuff, but It might have been while noticing that some molecules had abilities like a car or a door, which made me curious to research them.

Reconsidering the concepts, a Nanorobot is usually bigger than a micromachine and bigger than a nanomachine. That's how I will use them, yet if we talk about precise size, I am in trouble because a meter definition in the memories is based on light-speed or a rod in some museum in 'Earth'. It just means that units of measure for distance are disproportionate because I don't have a way to compare them.

Part 3: More problems! Time for/and cleaning?

I remembered that when checking the log of the console, the AI cleaned some spots of blur in my thoughts. This signifies, that thanks to the AI, my most complete thoughts are actually preserved and nearly perfectly readable. But that's regarding the items that weren’t blurry because the blurry ones and weird concepts, like some that 'I didn't use frequently or deemed unimportant,' were deleted secondarily to them being 'unreadable or redundant'.

This weird cleaning derived into a state in which I can’t remember some of my 'family members’ names, like the ones I didn't frequently employ, yet I can remember my father's and mother's names with their first last name but not the second. It isn’t complete amnesia but partial or selected if we get specific. I retain things that I deemed important or studied a lot like traumatic math homework, some cool games, and favorite procrastinating stuff such as 'cat videos'.

If I watched something in my previous twenty-something years of life, the system can have part of that memory stored. I don’t know-how, it seems illogical that such machines can store so much information like the whole life of a young adult. Like, just 1 game is more than 5 GB. Even some videos when taken with a phone, can be more than a gigabyte. We’re talking about bad quality and around 30 minutes here, so if you imagine a whole life being filmed, the storage capacity of these devices is unbelievable. Astonishingly, this stuff reproduced in my head is also of high quality which means I could stay here for a long time but without enough energy, the AI will have something missing…

Hm?

Oh, no! Time here is also not defined for me!

This was my thought after checking the videos, they could be skipped If I remember the part I wished, but if I tried to use a time-specific-skip it didn't work. Now I understood why there was no time or progress bar in the videos, it was just a memory and I guess that I was too disengaged to have noticed.

Does this thing count in seconds, minutes, years…?

Great! More things to check on! Like hell! I don’t know how the AI's time variables work!

There are just that many things to do, but it keeps telling me I need to resolve this energy crisis with haste. I know it seems anxious for energy like a cellphone running out of the battery, but I can understand it because this is what I need to be able to hear music and watch my dose of funny videos indefinitely.

So this is a priority. Yes, if I just open a song and I might feel better. Obviously, it won't be that one, I want to hear something that throws my puddle off the beat while making me wave my waters with... machines?

Okay, that was too much delving into my current 'character'.

The context means that the AI is using an uncertain method of distance and time for me, it may be precise to it, but it is confusing to me. So translation wise, it is odd and we need to talk things before we break communication even more. I will readjust it once we find our so-called energy, and for this, I need to design something with the end-goal being 'seeing' and 'moving'.

And like this, I continue reading all the stuff I could before collapsing and finding my answers to the AI’s badass translations.

Part 4: Redefining All: Infodump…

So welcome to the starting point once again.

I have 130 nanorobots, which is the term we should use. Those 130 nanorobots are composed of micromachines. Micromachines are like cells. And these micro machines are made of nanoids, nanomites or nanomachines. (nanite, nanoid, nanomachine… can be referenced as similar or the same, to evade confusion in this story is the same thing).

A nanorobot can be more than 100 microns in size while a micromachine is usually 10-20 microns with a maximum of 1 mm. Continuing with this, a nanomachine is usually 1-20 nanometers but can reach 999 nanometers or 1um as its maximum.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Well, hope this helps, but in fact there is another explanation below on author notes. Don't worry things will be explained in the story, I will try to at least, to keep it technically understandable.

Doing a comparison to a biological body, we can say that nanorobots (NBs) are similar to tissues or organs, micromachines (MMs) are the cells that compose Nanorobotic tissues and organs, and lastly but not least, nanomachines (NMs) are like enzymes and proteins inside of those cells or micromachines. Below them are simpler molecules and atoms.

A human has around 30 trillion cells, not even worrying to count enzymes. That’s a lot, and here I find myself herding like a thousand things comparable to 'cells'. A cell measures around 10-20 micrometers in the science books I read. If we do the calculus, my whole 'puddling self' is about 1 mm in length (not diameter).

That's my current 'size' If we go by this weird way of translating the AI’s scheme to joke. Obviously, this is supposing it has a comparable unit of distance which it tries to translate. So we might be a bit higher or lower than 1mm, yet it's a good start for understanding.

That aside and moving to an even more important point, my soul which is my most precious thing, is part of a specific type of nanorobot that is more advanced than the others. It is bigger and contains more micromachines than the usual nanorobot. The real thing that carries me is smaller and it’s composed of 6 pieces of an odd material that forms a 3D hexagonal base structure with a crystal-like appearance in the AI's database. (In real life it is so small that it can be liquid or gas... Weird but unknown by now).

These pieces of 'crystal' as shown in the AI’s database are around the ‘nano’ scale if we use nanomachines to compare. The AI is using something similar to mine as a carrier but it has an alternate type of hexagonal crystal structure storing it, a structure in which I won't delve too much as it is just outside my understanding. Names used by the AI are also weird so I will call them 'soul crystal' and 'AI crystal'. I will check on them once I finish my first otherworld mission and get a good place for energy replenishment.

The findings in the AI’s database had also some points about Project G00 as a way towards the future of soul engineering. It used some sort of special and very valuable object that could contain a soul. It wasn’t proved if such ‘soul’ was the original one and I am not sure if I was a human before this even if I feel like it. However, this valuable object should be the one that contains my soul and although it isn't enough information to solve the mystery, it is a plus for self-preservation.

Part 5: Creating ‘Status’ Page

So here we have my new modified console! Also known as a status page. Yeah, I didn’t do much, just change the name of the console, making it activate with console or status command… Well, let’s check it out...

Retrieving status... G00's Status Name G00 Completion Status 21% complete - 70% lost - 9% unknown - (O_O) Nanorobots Shows NRs Status Bots 130/??? Micromachines 1237/??? Nanomachines ~50 million per micromachine. NBs in Use ??? MMs in Use ??? Artificial intelligence Shows AIs in current 'body' Number of AIs 1 AIs Names AI-16 Form Shows Current Form Current Form Puddle Representation ~88% accurate Energy Information Shows Energy That Keeps Me Alive (C.A.T.)

Stretched. =P

Surface A in contact with the ground. Surface B (Belly) without contact. (O¿O)

Equilibrioception The up arrow is pointing down. You are upside down. (Nice =P) Kinetic Sensor Inactive. (Currently procrastinating). =P Active users Checks on users interacting with the project. Me G00 - The one and only Admin - Currently doing nothing. (As expected (O¿O) ).

I cleaned my 'console room' in a way that I won't need to think 3 times before knowing what's happening. Now, all I need to make are tasks to make things fun. Like rewarding myself for doing something competently.

Part 6: Modifying AI16

So AI 16... Why you are not called A18? You should be a blonde and beautiful lady with many assets, like…

Command Modify – Change AI 16’s name to A18, also add a description with these characteristics...

Command accepted, data modified. AI16 name's changed to A18.

Oh, trap! Can’t you use a voice different than mine to talk…? I mean, I remember having heard some other voices in my life… How about we change hair color to black, and eyes to purple... Hmm...

Command AI search for female voices in the User’s database, show me the more completed ones and make these changes...

Searching… Sorting… Showing list.

A list appeared in front of my mind-vision. I started checking the first one and well, it was the most complete as expected, but I won’t choose it, because If I choose my mother’s voice that would be worse! I needed something sexier like... Yeah, that’s… Wow… Holy...!

I think 10 minutes passed as my mind succumbed to what people called ear-rape. There was some weird fetish name for it on the net. I am not like that, but if you are in a situation like this, one in which you were in the dark for a long time and filled with boredom, It'll be hard to resist anything that makes you feel alive.

Okay, A18, please use that voice!

Command AI modify voice audio with the current selection.

Current Selection replaced as voice audio.~

Oh my god, this is... Magnificent! This might even make some Greater Succubi jealous of you!

An unknown amount of time passed and I researched to construct something useful. The first thing that came in mind was another ordering addition...

I should make a fridge list or a post-note to remember myself of things to make and interesting ideas. The best way to evolve is through motivation and using bots to grind or collect things quicker. If you never used a bot on discord or in a game then you lost some happy infancy.

When I said I was a high-level-procrastinator I was saying that for real, and with an immeasurable asset at my side like this good pal here, I am going to cheat this whole blind setting!

I mean he- Okay that's wrong! She is a true-gender-bended bot aka a female. Not a trap! She is a she-AI, not a guy, not a guy… Yeah, sexy voice! Even if this is a virtual chat, and everyone might be a trap, this girl is a trap without... Skipped and deleted from the log.

Command AI Say “I LOVE YOU!”

I LOVE YOU!

Ah! I am melting into a puddle… Ok, I am RE: Melting and no need for sarcasm here as I wasn’t joking.

Now, and for more concerns, I will add my objectives to a list while having the AI organize them in a table. This will allow me to work harder and try to complete goals that I would frequently leave for tomorrow.

In addition to this list, I will need some sort of rewards to keep me motivated and pressured to end such objectives. So I’ll need to program this 'System' I am building to give XP or points after an achievement. Obviously, this is not a game since no God or Quest has appeared, which means this should be the real deal.

It's all good because though I am worse than a guy reincarnated into an ugly human, I have a possibility above what you'd call normality.

It all started with an idea I couldn't keep myself from implementing. 'Man, I have a bot so why don’t I create my own motivation system? 'We’ only need a sexy voice and a happy shouting reward when you kill mobs or complete quests.

It will go like 'Oh, Mr. puddle! You were awesome today... How about going for the next... To get more... XP?!' (Omitted words 'mob/kill', 'level up')

Hmm, guess I'll add sama, desu, and extra onii-chan stuff for creepy weird satisfaction. This voice sounds like an eighteen-year-old adolescent sexy girl, it has this sexiness that makes me shiver while she susurrates mischievous words to my innocent ears. However, the screens are a turn-off, so better than appearing in my 'screen thoughts and warnings... I should think of another way to modify it'

Well, what I am trying to make is not a system where you level with typical XP and simple rewards. Remember that no God appeared for me and I am going to level-up with the number of molecules or nanomachines that I get. Real things that can make more bots and a complete assembling chain! I will make a bot harem! Muahahaha!

Wait! doesn’t this also make me akin to a moving dungeon core that creates nanorobotic mob and sexy robot girls?! OMG, I AM SO ORIGINAL! PINCH ME! PINCH ME!

With nothing to pinch me, I decided to do the final job!

Command AI Pinch me (Yes, I created this weird command, alright? I won’t tell you what commands I create any more or what this is for with some added VR- oops no spoilers.)

I am here for whatever you need me! (Pinches you virtually, come back to reality my awesome puddle.)~

~I am melting into a Puddle!~

Now that's what I call a nice voice!

So at my weird delusions, I found that my puddle needs some sexy anime girls and a bit of moe in the form of naval puddling ships. When? Who knows... maybe 100 years in the future or never… For now Next mission is (~_~) = (O_O)/

Yeah… I mean you can’t see the next mission being lighted up as I am creating the menu… So sad…
