Hello?
Is someone there? How come I don’t know anything about myself? What is a Core?
What am I?
Artificial Core #184
Who am I?
Artificial Core #184
Explicative! *Deep Breath* The only time I can feel or focus is when I’m in pain… Well if I (Holds in breath )
…
…
…
Right, no body; no need to breath or maybe even have the capacity to breathe. What the explicative?
It would be great to just be able to get over this moment of crisis and move on, but how do I? There is nothing here in this void… There is only my thoughts and the Blue square of unhelpfulness. Who am I?
Artificial Core #184
Yeah you…
Universal Terms… What is mana?
During this temporary time before Rooting the Dungeon [HELP] is deactivated.
Well EXPLICATIVE you too then!
Okay well I’ll just close my non-existent eyes and go to sl…
… Light.. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click.Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. PAIN... Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click. Hun Hatee (sfx sound of) click… Darkness…
Well that was unsettling and disarming. One more time I’ll focus harder this time and fight against it. Sleep…
Light.. One Eighty-One (sfx sound of) click. One Eighty-Two (sfx sound of) click. One Eighty-Three (sfx sound of) click.One Eighty-Four (sfx sound of) click. PAIN...
Pain unlike before strikes through me, flaying me. The blood that courses through my veins is on fire.. Oh the stabbing is back, joy… Do you enjoy this? How can you so wantonly rake through me and just to move on?

One Eighty-Five (sfx sound of) click. One Eighty-Six (sfx sound of) click. One Eighty-Seven (sfx sound of) click. One Eighty-Eight click.One Eighty-Nine click. One Ninety (sfx sound of) click. Darkness…
Pushing against the darkness again I’m able to find myself once again. So progress. I have ten… ten… measurements of time to reach out and stop my torturers. Is it one? Is it more than one? I don’t know, I don’t even know how long this has been going on for, but every Light/Darkness cycle they get to my name/number and inflict and mounting pain into me.
(Breath.. Sigh) I was so caught up in fear to physically react. The anticipation of this pain that only gets more intense scared me immobile. Explicative… If I do something it might get worse. What do I do? I’ve been branded with a number lost my memories, and am tortured every cycle.
So new things to note if I focus on the act of falling asleep I fall asleep. I become dormant, until I’m given a new series of explicatives.
Wait a second I could understand this time. There was counting before it got to me.
CONGRADULATIONS,You are now able to understand the beings in your ERROR… now you can better know the ERROR that may give you an upper hand to protect your core and fundamentally increase your chances to ERROR your growth.
Wait wait wait wait WAIT!. What was that and those errors?
Core must Root before [HELP] is unlocked. WARNING casually rooting is ill-advised. Rooting in an unsafe location will likely end in the destruction of the core. CAUTION rooting with a living being will cause mortality to the core. When the living creature dies so will the core. Rooting with a living being has lead to 100% destruction of cores within the first term. An error report as been sent; eventually your regional SYSTEM will check in on you to see if your core is faulty, and if it is found to be faulty you will thus be self-destructed. Please have a nice day.
