"AIBGen, short for Artificial Intelligence Body Generator, It's mostly under development by GMs but we managed to create a plausible prototype that may be safe."

my arched for a moment, cause all this doesn't sound safe at all

"MAY be safe? why MAY?"

Maya just continued on as always like she didn't hear any of my protests and suspicions

"For now the prototype is expected to successfully develop a body based on the personality and characteristic of the soul, if it works GREAT and it will be mass produced for underpiviledged players but the GMs will set the finished AIBGen to work for a limited time in other words they have an expiration date, the mercenaries they create will disappear after a few months or less, depending on what the time will the GMs discuss the expiration date, but yours is a prototype, meaning it is permanent and yours for eternity. So anymore questions?"

"Yeah I have one. So basically. I'm your labrat?"

her saleswoman grin melted into an awkward look as she couldn't think of another excuse/explanation, she's currently starting to panic right now, maybe she's limited to the exact script they gave her.

"*sigh* Fine, fine, calm down Maya I know, I know, so please stop hyperventilating and let's get this Inroduction underway because The other betatesters might get too much of a head start if we keep this up."

eventually her breathing slowed down to deep breaths and she looks like she's keeping herself limber and as calm as possible, something you wouldn't expect from a hot sexy goddess

"OK! I'm cool, I'm cool, *clears throat* so the prototype is right here"

Maya raised her palm upward as if she was holding something invisible, then something blinked and a light beam flashed for a second on her hand then lo and behold a cube appeared!

her hand lowered to my eye level just so I could get a more closer look, It was a very strange cube in my opinion, every inch and corner was inscribed with strange patterns and symbols I've never seen before, chains were wrapped around the cube with an ancient lock that looked would crumble at any moment.

"Take it for a spin, Leoth, just hold out the AIBGen towards your other soul and just say 'Generate AI' "

I walked toward Leoth2.0 I could see he was scared, I mean, I know I would, since we both know this thing wasn't tested before, His flickering body sparked out mini fireworks out of being nervous, it can't be helped.

"Let's just get this over with buddy, GENERATE AI!"

BOOM!

The cube just exploded a sonicboom in front of me, luckily it wasn't something fatal, I could see around the cube, sound was being distorted, vibrating erratically like a wild animal but suddenly the weird inscriptions glow and float out of the cube, one by one each column of text stuck out and floated around Leoth2.0, faster and faster they spun around him.

Leoth2.0 blasted infernos on the floor again and again, his mini fireworks earlier grew into normal sized ones that fired off reaching the ceiling, Maya also looked surprised, she probably didn't get as much info as we did about this item.

Faster and tighter time the rows of symbol wound up around Leoth2.0, they wrapped around him spinning and spinning until he became a miniature tornado that glowed now and again.

But then in a split-second, everything froze, the symbols glowed to a stop, smoke rose from the sudden halt, air smelled of burnt tires, I couldn't see anything properly until the smoke cleared up.

There was no sign of my wisp, no flickering no fireworks, the floor looked deformed from the heat Leoth2.0 made and there were 'feet?'

My eyes slowly scanned upward as to see whom it was, a girl that looked to be 13, a few years younger than me, came into view, her ebony hair grown until it touched the floor, noticeably her hair was wavy, she look surprised and afriad, her brown eyes filled up with tears, and...

... BUCK NUDE!

SHIELD MY EYES BEFORE LUST TAINTS MY INNOCENCE, I'M PROBABLY NOT CONSIDERED PEDOPHILE YET RIGHT?, SHE'S LIKE A FEW YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME?

I approached her cautiously and tried to clarify something first.

"Umm, miss did you see someone who looks like me perhaps, probably naked like you but less sexier?"

Suddenly the chick bawled harder, she cried harder once she saw me and suddenly ran to me and hugged me with her head buried to my chest

'OK, Leoth calm down, get your facts straight, so this a game right?, a character creation, so the people who should be here are: Me, Maya the Goddess and Leoth2.0, she shouldn't be beta tester and she did appear in the same spot as 2.0 soooooooo...

"Leoth2.0?"

"Y-ye-yes? *sniffles*" the girl answered with a few catching breaths and sniffles here and there, she probably got scared from the explosion and the part with the bindy tentacle-like symbols.

Wait, so she's Leoth2.0?

SO I HAVE A GIRLY SIDE!!!!

WTF!!!

After I screamed out all my thoughts, I kinda heard Maya yelp, probably not in response to my frustration, she kept looking up and her finger was pressed on her temple, she was sweating bullets

"Maya" I said with as much gentleness as I could muster within my exasperated self

She responded with a high pitched "YAS!"

"What's wrong?"

"Umuuu! I just got a chart about which characteristics both your personalities got and as far as I can see, Leoth2.0 kinda got an unstable share..."

"Unstable...?, can I see the chart?"

"Ah! sure here it is"

PERSONALITY VENN DIAGRAMLEOTH1.0LEOTH2.0Witty, Analytic, Shrewd, Lazy, Pragmatic, Restless, IgnorantViolent, Shy, Fragile, Volatile, Innocent, Dependent

"Wow!, that's a dangerous combination, in other words 2.0 is a walking time bomb"

I managed to say after scanning the notif

"Yep, that's pretty much what he/she is, though the chart isn't exactly that accurate, it's another estimation based from your brainwaves, lastly I'm gonna have to warp you into Wysteria now, my superior are getting cranky about your overtime, they wanna watch how you fare in a world of magic, especially Developer"

Maya snapped her fingers and a fancy door poofed onto one of the light walls, it was one of those antique beautifully carved doors you'd see in a home cover magazine, I think.

"Oh, let me just do a quick pep talk with myself, she's still pretty wound up in the whole explosion from your AIBGen cube"

2.0 was still bawling in my shirtless self, it was kinda weird if you see two naked people of the opposite gender cuddling, I placed my right hand on her head and started petting her, my other hand rubbing her back just to calm her down, surprisingly her breathing slowed and she hugged harder.

I quickly signaled Maya for clothes, I had to save as much dignity as we had when we go inside, a wave of her hand over our heads and a few shimmering on her bodies later, a sundress similar to Maya's appeared on 2.0 and a white shirt and baggy pants on me

"Hey 2.0, are you OK now?"

she nodded in response

"We're gonna have to leave this place sooner or later you know besides you shouldn't worry about people and things hurting you, you know we're a tough cookie to crack right?"

Her lips managed to curve into a smile at least, her arms loosened her deathhold on my waist and her tears had already dried up on her face

"And I can't keep calling you 2.0, now can I?"

she just kept looking back at me in response

"How about... Thalia?, It's almost similar to Leoth, It's a girl's name plus it's a name from our favorite book!"

Her forehead scrounged up together from thinking too much, her head swayed from side to side, and arms crossed for dramatic effect.

"... Thalia"

She finally managed to say.

She looked back at me with a smile of pure joy and slipped her hand into mine and beckoned.

"... Let's go Leoth"

Together we walked through the fancy door, into the unknown with nothing but ourselves, with the clothes on our backs and the warmth of our hearts, our courage will lead us through Wysteria from thick or thin. We wil conquer the unconquered that is...

... 'Invictus'
