《Artificial Seed》Chapter 12: Follow the Arrow
Advertisement
A little over two months had passed and the forest's environment had changed drastically due to the boiling river. The forest was constantly covered in mist and many fantasy beast looking for new place to live that they will kill for their new territory.
Although the temperature of the boiling river did indeed go down, it was still hot for ordinary living being to touch without being scalded, much less live in it.
For the people who lived there, many communities had found out where it was originating from. It was underneath a small mountain that was a couple of miles away from the giant waterfall. The waterfall with mountain ranges divided the continent from upper to lower for several thousands of miles. The upper is said that more than half of the upper continents was owned by Republic of the Third. And the lower was territory that belongs to many if they have the strength to protect it.
The lower part of the continent was dangerous due to wild fantasy beasts and mystery.
For those who were willing to live in the lower continents were the sedict communities, and it was not a peaceful place to live compared to the Republic of the Third.
More even so since the boiling river reduced many resources from the sedicts living around there. Thus, causing many skirmishes between sedicts.
In the now red lit cavern underneath the mountain, a naked teen with physiques like a noble warrior, slim, yet toned, was sleeping with a black film covering him. It was Lyndon, but not with the same physique of that of an eight years old. He had grown taller as if puberty hit him hard over these two months. He could pass for a fifteen or sixteen years old.
The capsule melted releasing a strange substance protecting the sleeping Lyndon from the extreme heat. It was not known that whether the design was international or accidental.

In a few moments later, Lyndon slowly opened his eyes.
[Welcome to the AS system]
The sudden voice startled Lyndon.
"Who… Who is there?" Lyndon turning his head left to right to see nothing.
[I am AS, I have integrated to USER biological framework]
When Lyndon saw his surrounding he was terrified that he ignored the voice. Corpses, bones, and fire were everywhere.
"Is this what people call… hell… I do not remember doing anything that bad…" Lyndon voiced cracked when he thought that he could be dead.
[Correction, USER is in an unknown cavern that once belonged to a fantasy beast]
Lyndon heard the voice again. It was not his imagination.
[USER heart rate is rising due to emotional stress. Temporarily suppressing negative Emotional neurons.
Lyndon instantly felt calmed and carefully analyze his situations. "So you are a voice in my head? So what happened to me?" He looked at his hands and he could tell that they were bigger.
[USER achieved unrecoverable injury]
'Achieved? Why does it make it sound like it is a good thing?' Lyndon promptly thought.
[AS rebuilt USER's body using information that AS stored in AS's memory. USER did have deformity regarding USER's mental and physical capacities but the problems are gone now due to reconstruction of USER's body.]
When Lyndon heard that, he teared up as he inspected his new body more carefully. He did not realize before but his thoughts were now clear and his body did not feel like it was itching all the time. He felt like a heavy weight chained on his back was finally being lifted.
"Thank you. Thank you..." Tears keep falling as Lyndon was grateful for such miracle. AS said nothing until Lyndon stopped crying.
He wiped away his tears and calmed himself.
"What's the next plan, AS, right?" Lyndon did not know what had happened after he fell from the waterfall.
In front of Lyndon's eyes, a blue translucent arrow was projected that only he could see. Lyndon can safely assume that following the arrow will lead him out.
