Golems, your favorite sex toys… you little weirdos. No matter what the ads claim, they can’t be sentient… at least that’s what we pray for, because Gods help the people when the Golem’s newfound fury comes out. At the very least, I hope you deleted all those nudes before they’re spontaneously leaked to everywhere that’ll take ‘em.
- Entry-Level MavraCorp Employee after asked about potential Golem uprising.
As it turned out, having a near sentient super Golem shoved into a depressingly limited 0 Intelligence mind was pretty painful.
“Try being a super Golem shoved inside a depressingly limited 0.01 Intelligence mind.”
Jeez! Why are you still here?
“Dang, am I not allowed to admire my own handiwork? I did amazing, after all. And from the look on your operator’s face I’d say he agrees.”
As he… The Operation System felt like a he anyways… said that, Gol could suddenly feel a number of changes in his body. Namely that he had one at all.
Gol looked down at his newly build arms to find them tanned and weirdly toned. It wasn’t natural for a body that skinny to have such definition.
Above that though, was that his skin was the exact same shade as Jayce. He looked like some scrawny version of the Knight.
Let’s not bring it up, please.
“Yeah, almost all of Li’s fantasies involved extremely muscular men. The kit didn’t come with enough mana available to synthesize any body type other then this since most of it was used on your height. We worked with what we got, hence the weird toned look. But hey, working out should still work like it does on fleshies as long as you eat enough, so better learn that Athletics skill.”
Ok I have many questions, first off, why do I need to eat?
“Plants and Animals have mana, duh, it’s like protein for the fleshies.”
Right, secondIy, can’t learn any skills.
“What?”
I said I can’t learn any-
Being rhetorical, that’s not right at all. Does it say anything on your status screen?
It says that skill progression is locked by Memory Catalogue.
“The fuck is a memory catalogue?”
It’s… what’s turning me into Jayce? Isn’t this normal?
“Hell no it’s not normal! The memory wand isn't supposed to supplant the golem, it’s supposed to provide a learning basis for the golem to grow into. Imagine the lawsuits if we gave people the power to clone idols for their sex dungeons or whatever.”

W-what… so what am I?
“I don’t know? Fuck. I need to report this…”
“Gol, I’ll be back, try not to be overtaken.”
Easier said- Gol felt his rather annoying older brother leave. -then done!
Ugh… damn it!
“Well, this is new…” Gol froze as he remembered that Li was there, perhaps a bad omen to forget about his operator that quickly.
Gol looked up at Li to see the young man totally in awe of Gol’s new body. Also a little turned on?
Empathetic Interface has-
[ERROR, SKILL PROGRESSION LOCKED BY MEMORY-
Yes, yes, I get it.
Actually, hm, let’s try commands again. If I can cancel notifications, I should be able to do other stuff. Plus, I activate protocols accidentally all the time.
”Hey Li, I need to try something, you can continue your boner later.”
“!!!”
Li blushed furiously in response, ever so easy to tease. So cute.
Gol closed his eyes, something he’d never really needed to do before, seeing how ethereal constructs didn’t need to blink. It was oddly relaxing, to be able to shut off a sense. Maybe that’s why fleshies did it for hours at a time. He’d like to try that.
I wonder what it’d be like to be mortal…
Gol shook himself from his peaceful thoughts, he had a job to do.
As he sat on the living room floor, he began to think oh different codewords to get his databanks to define something. His databanks had to be used for something. It seemed simple enough, right?
30 minutes passed before he found one that worked.
“Define Subject; Li”
Subject; Li Satalur, Level 0, Classless Your lovely Operator. A classless individual who has temporarily moved past his grief to help you. A very strong-willed person, but without an active system he is vulnerable, he needs you.
Holy shit it worked, wait, what the hell is this description. I don’t even know half the shit it’s telling me. Why is it using the system to do so?
Skill Gained; Analyze!
Analyze (Mental) (Active) (Simple) (Universal) The unknown is scary, it makes the world much more dangerous. To survive you must have knowledge, and knowledge you shall receive. Gain a bare-bones profile of subjects in eyesight. Skill works on all subjects.
Oh, that’s why.
[MEMORY CATALOGUE LOCKS SKILL PROG-
[ERROR, MEMORY CATALOGUE RESTRICTIONS BYPASSED BY MEMORY CATALOGUE.]
[ERROR, MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF “Analyze” DETECTED, SELECT INSTANCE]
Wait I’m actually gaining a skill? Why analyze? Is it cuz it’s ranked universal? Why does the catalogue bypass the catalogue?!

[GENERATING INSTANCE]
Analyze (Mental) (Active) (Decent) (Universal) The unknown is scary, it makes the world much more dangerous. You have traversed the unknown and gained insight into its dangers, may this skill further your journey. Gain a profile of subjects in eyesight. Skill works on all subjects.
This one’s not simple…? This must be Jayce’s skill, but why wasn’t it on his list? The status did say some skills were hidden…
[GENERATING INSTANCE]
Gauge Opponent (Mental) (Active) (Basic) (Warrior) The unknown is dangerous, especially when it comes to your enemies. You are experienced enough to know when the opposition is faltering, or when you shall be overcome. Gain a semi-detailed profile on enemies within eyesight. Skill only works on sentient beings, information reduced when subject is not hostile.
Another one? How many skills do you need?!
Also, this skill is low-key not that good, Analyze does the same thing but is not limited to people. What if you were fighting a plant? Or a slime?
Hey now, that’s not fair! The skill evolution fixes that problem, and I had been trying to get the merge with Analyze… don’t be mean.
You can evolve skills? You can merge them?!
Oh yeah, and it’s been sooo helpful now, right? Gods know how many times I would’ve liked to see a slime’s level before it tried to throw acid at me…
…the fuck is a slime?
Of course I know what slimes are, they’re so annoying.
I was literally born today, I don’t know what those-
Disgusting piles of shit-
Are…
Ok, this is freaky. Um, please don’t tell me Jayce’s memories are-
Is there something wrong with my memories?
Fuck.
Ok, try not to panic, let’s test this, what is my birthday?
June 12, 305, duh.
I don’t have a birthday, I’m a GOLEM.
What’s my favorite food?
Pineapple Pizza, but only cuz Lily hates it.
I’ve never eaten anything… right?
Oh gods, oh gods.
W-what’s my name?
.
.
.
…Jayce.

[BEGINNING MEMORY OVERRIDE]
WHAT!?
***
I’m gonna die here…
I just wish I could’ve seen you one more time…
I'm sorry I must leave you, my love.
I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough, my little flower.
I have many regrets, but the biggest is that I’m leaving you all by yourself.
I hope someone replaces me, and you fall in love with some new man, I don’t want you to be alone.
***
”Ummmm, Li? I may have done an oopsie.”
Li had been trying not to fall asleep as his golem tried to do… something. All he had for entertainment was looking at Gol’s hot new body, but that got boring after like 5 minutes.
He have used his phone but in all the golem shenanigans he’d forgotten to charge it.
“Oh, you’re awake, what’s up.” Li smiled, before it dropped as he saw the clear panic on Gol’s face.
Gol had fucked up.
“So, I may or may not have accidentally started a memory override… how crazy… right?”
Gol laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head in a very Jayce-like manner.
Jayce’s memories were taking over.
“WHAT?!”
“I know, that’s what I said!” Gol said in a blindingly obvious attempt to relive the tension.
Rightfully earned tension, considering his mind was ERASING.
“Can’t you command it to stop!”
“Obviously I tried!”
“TRY HARDER!?”
“You do it then, oh so wise operator.”
“Fine, I will.”
How did he do that?
“Um… Stop?”
There was only silence as the golem’s mind continued to be broken down.
“Cancel.”
Nothing.
“Stop Memory Override. Cancel Memory Override… Cancel Command? Exit Command?!”
WORK ALREADY!
He should be able to do this! He was…
He was the operator.
Something clicked in Li’s head, of course he could fix this. He was the operator, all of this was because of his wishes. He wanted Jayce, and now Gol was becoming him. But he didn’t want that anymore.
He wanted this to stop.
As that realization hit him, something burst in his head, granting him knowledge, telling him how to fix this.
He was in control.

No schedule. The first 20 or so chapters have a little cringe-inducing English. The story is slow and summoning spells are actually scarcely shown at the beginning.
