Chapter 16: Kane’s C-kor(core)! / Kane’s New Device!

“Damnit, this one isn’t right either.” Evan said, crushing what looked like a mana core in his hands.

“Fine. Let’s try this. Maybe adding telekinetic stuff would be good? Oh! What about fire and ice for cooling and heating? Precision tools… hmm” Evan mumbled, tinkering with a new core

“YES! Finally, Jeez. That took a while. It’s done.” Said Evan

He had a bit more time than he thought, so he remade Kane an entirely new custom core. It was equal to any other naturally made cores. He made this one a bit special, though. What it governed wasn’t an average category. It allowed Kane access to something Evan called Magical Crafting, and a bonus auto target magic. it seemed random, but they were actually synergistic for a mana circuit's increased effectiveness. He could use his mana to help him build stuff, despite being bad at magic. He had engraved lots of mana circuits and patterns into the core. The complex structure was not something he could mass produce. The only ones that seemed anywhere close to any form of large production were first gen cores. He took a small device and put it on top of the core. The core turned into liquid and flowed into the small device. Or at least that’s what it looked like.

“Kane. Machine room. Now. Anne, come with us.” Evan said, walking into the workshop

“Woah, ok, one sec!” Yelled Kane. He zoomed around doing multiple different things.

“The heck kinda mess is this? I’ve never seen you let the shop get this dirty in god knows how long. What the hell were you working on?” Evan asked

“These!” Said Kane, holding up a pair of odd looking goggles.

“Goggles? Wait no. Wait what is that? Some kinda digivice?” Evan asked

“I’ve never heard of that, but here, sit over here and put it on. I added a nifty little thing to it.” Said Kane

“Are we ever going to go to that machine?” Evan asked

“Cmon, I spent a lotta time doing this!” Kane said

“Wait, where’s Anne?” Evan asked

“Doesn’t matter. goggles, attach to Evan. Initiate power on in 3 seconds.” Said Kane

“No switch? Disappointing, Kane. it isn’t often you invent something yourself, though.” Evan said

Boop

Beep!

Evans body went slack, so did Kane’s. They saw a bright light.
