《Try Me!》Chapter 4: The Interface 1
Advertisement
Now what can I do till I sleep. First let’s summarize today’s findings. First of all, I’m in a deep forest full of dangers, second there is a water source to the west in 30 minutes walking distance, third on the other side of the creek there is life threatening danger lurking, fourth the strange feeling of being observed, fifth no food. Think that’s about it.
Now what to do tomorrow? First of all, secure food. Then figure out the rest. After sun rises tomorrow let’s try heading east this time.
Now that I planned my next day what to do now.
According to my memories about mind palace I should be able to access it anytime I want. But my mind palace seems to be little different from my knowledge. Even though it’s mine there is certain factor that I’m not sure of. But first let’s see if I can access it. So, in order to do that I need to visualize it. Let’s try it.
First interface then the doors on first floor. After that door on second floor.
Suddenly I feel myself being pulled into my mind palace. But I’m starting to doubt this place is exactly a mind palace. Mind palace is just a memorization technique used to recall things easily, this is something different. This feels like my mind goes to someplace deeper. To the very essence of my being. Feels more appropriate to call it my Soul Palace.
Yup that feels more organic. Natural. On a closer look after I ate that fruit my Soul Palace feels like I’m in that forest, I think that fruit changed more than the color of the walls and first door. Let’s try opening the first door. Crap still locked.
Well whatever. It will open when it opens. Now that’s out of the way let’s check out the interface first.

Welcome to Main Interface
Scanning: 00:04:43
Well it’s almost done so that’s good news. While this finish let’s check out the door on second floor.
Still same book shelves, still same books slightly more huh. Let’s try reding the third book then.
Method of loci
The method of loci (loci being Latin for "places") is a method of memory enhancement which uses visualizations with the use of spatial memory, familiar information about one's environment, to quickly and efficiently recall information. The method of loci is also known as the memory journey, memory palace, or mind palace technique. This method is a mnemonic device adopted in ancient Roman and Greekrhetorical treatises (in the anonymous Rhetorica ad Herennium, Cicero's De Oratore, and Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria). Many memory contest champions claim to use this technique to recall faces, digits, and lists of words….
So, mind palace huh. Still peculiar. Let’s see the next book.
Eidetic memory
Eidetic memory (/aɪˈdɛtɪk/; sometimes called photographic memory) is an ability to vividly recall images from memory after only a few instances of exposure, with high precision for a brief time after exposure, without using a mnemonic device. Although the terms eidetic memory and photographic memory are popularly used interchangeably, they are also distinguished, with eidetic memory referring to the ability to view memories like photographs for a few minutes, and photographic memory referring to the ability to recall pages of text or numbers, or similar, in great detail. When the concepts are distinguished, eidetic memory is reported to occur in a small number of children and as something generally not found in adults, while true photographic memory has never been demonstrated to exist…
Still very peculiar.
Blip, Blip, Blip.
Oh, it seems interface finished scanning.

Interesting. Now there is a symbol one the second door. Looks like Solomon’s seal and color seems to morph to different ones every second. Hmm mysterious.
Now that doors information showed up on the Interface I think I can open them. Let’s try the first door.
Click.
Yes, finally it opens. In a plain that seems to span almost infinitely I see a little sprout on only hill in this plain waving in the wind under a blue sky. Strangely though even without a sun the sky is as bright as the outside.
So, this is the change that the fruit I ate brought. Inside feels exactly like the forest. Air so fresh I can almost taste it. Feeling of familiarity and warmth. So, this is the affinity with nature huh. Not a bad feeling. Closer I get to the little sprout more I feels like I’m standing next to the gigantic tree that I’m under. Does that mean the fruit I ate was some kind of seed?
Well whatever happened, happened so not much I can do but to adapt to the situation. So, this little sprout is the one that converts pure energy to vitality huh. That will be convenient over the time I’m sure.
Wait a minute how do I know what a pure energy is? Let’s see. I will myself to door on the second floor and enter the library. And picks up the book with azure cover and read.

The Unnoticed Dungeon
A newly formed dungeon core awakes with no memory of who or what he was. In fact, he just found out that he died. He has no idea or when or how he came to pass, and now finds himself being forced to start all over as a dungeon core. Worse yet, he isn't even your average run of the mill dungeon. No, the Overseers, whoever they are, have designated him to be an experimental core. This means he doesn't have to play by all the rules, the bad news is that if the core oversteps his boundaries as a dungeon core too far he's more than dead; he's erased. Now he has to struggle to figure out what kind of dungeon he wants to be, all the while very aware that he can't play it safe. The overseers don't want safe, they want lines redrawn and limits reset. The question is, can he do it and survive? He asks, because he overstepped before he even made it to his new world.
8 311The Survivor
Trillion Biggs was your average 26 year old, she couldn't afford college, and when her grandmother passed away, she was denied any of the inheritance; worse, she was legally disowned and required to change her name to not be associated with the affluent family that refused to help her. when told that her accounts would be frozen the next day, she decided to board a week long cruise to give herself the much needed break from all the stress. Little did she know; events were already taking place to ensure the ship never reentered port. ~Image of Elisabeth Fern Image found using Google Images, original Copyright unkown.
8 93The Tentacle of Fate
The tale of the Human Empire, the Demon Empire, and the Alliance of Beastmen is a tale as old as time itself. It was a tale of war, of love, of hatred -especial of the racial variety- and it was a tale that the races scattered across the globe thought would never end until a single species would reign supreme. Yet at times it seems that truth is stranger than fiction, they never expected the world would be united in the most unexpected of ways...
8 56desired ERROR

8 186Jacob's Travels
When Jacob, along with his friends, fell in a world so utterly different from ours, one filled with life so weird, only the maddest of people could even dream them, physics so convoluted that they're more like guidelines than any law, and all manner of intelligent beings morphing the world to their whim, he decided to do the logical thing. He panicked.
