[Contact Confirmed! Install Genesis A.I. Program?]
[Yes] [No]
"What is this?"
The child stared at the black card as a voice echoed in his head. This voice was ancient like the first voice, however, this voice was colder and very stiff. It as though a machine had just talked to him. It completely contrast the first voice which was lively.
"That's called an A.I. chip or more specifically, the Genesis A.I. Program." The lively voice echoed out again. Beside the child, a dark golden ball of light appeared. It shone with great brilliant and a silhouette of a humanoid figure could be seen within it.
As the light start to disperse, a man walked out of the light and towards the child. He wore a black and golden robe with three golden hairpieces that maintained his long black hair. His golden eyes were piercing and bright, excluding an aura of majesty and power. However, when the child looked at those, his head started to hurt and a nuance of melancholy formed within him.
"Yo kid, are you okay?" The man threw a confused look at the child and said caringly.
"I'm fine," The child said. "Who are you?"
"Who am I? I am a king among kings; an emperor among emperors! I am an embodiment of good-looks and bravery. Gods fear me, Devils quiver in my presence, dragons bow before me, and all revere me!" The man spoke with pride all over his face. "So who am I? I am one of the Sovereigns of the Heavenly Revelation Era, Human Emperor Qin!"
The aura of majesty intensify at the man last words and golden lights glittered everywhere in the white space. Golden dragons, immortal soldiers, deities, and demons. Countless figures appeared behind him; all kneeling down while their gazes of reverence pointed towards him.
However, all, but one person were treating him like that.
"Um...I'm sorry sir, but I'm not entirely sure what 'Human Emperor' or 'Sovereigns of Heavenly Revelation Era' means, so I still don't really know who you are," The child said calmly.
The sound of something breaking into thousands of pieces rang out as the man's expression sunk. The countless golden figures behind him vanished and he stooped his shoulder.
"To think that someone doesn't know me in this day and age," The man said with a downcast expression. "Has it really been that long? Has my achievement and glory really vanish in the presence of time?"
"Sir, I'm sorry, but I have amnesia," The child said with an apologetic expression. "So don't worry, I'm sure that people still-."
Before, the child finished speaking, the man's expression return to normal and he said with a smile, "Ah, don't worry kid, I was only messing with you. To be honest, I would be surprise if people still know or remember about us Human Emperor or the Sovereigns of the Heavenly Revelation Era."
The man looked at the black card in the child's hand and blankly said, "Let start over again. That thing in your hand is an A.I. chip called the Genesis A.I. Program that I created long ago."
"A.I.?" The child looked at the card in confusion.
"A.I. stands for artificial intelligence; they're intelligence that technology and machines have and can perform tasks such as scan, translate, observe, and many more. However, the A.I. that I created, Genesis, is the best A.I. in the universe! It's a divine artifact!"

The man's face was filled with pride as he stared down at the card. However, what he didn't say was that this was the only A.I. chip in the universe and thus could be considered the best and that only he knew how to create it.
"Well kid, if you want this divine object then all you have to do is say 'yes' and you can have it," The man said.
The child opened his mouth and just before he said 'yes', he halted. The child pondered for a moment before he closed his mouth and threw a cautious look at the man that said, "Why should I listen to you? How do I know if I'm being scammed into something?"
The man had a blank expression on his face for a moment before yelling, "Ey, brat! If I wanted to scheme something why would I use you huh? You think you're so special that I want to scam you? Can't you do this uncle a favor and just accept my inheritance?"
The man was infuriated. He, the prestigious Human Emperor and one of the mighty Sovereigns of the Heavenly Revelation Era was actually given a cautious look by a child? Long ago he was given the title of 'Paragon of the Virtuous Noble Dao' and was esteemed to be one of the most powerful and holy individual in history. However, the child's questioning look made his red and his heart in flames.
Seeing the man in rage the child didn't show fear. However, the rage and distain he saw in the man face when he wouldn't go so far as to scheme against him made the child believe his words.
He turned toward the card and said out loud, "Yes." A blue, transparent screen in appeared in front of him.
[Answer Confirmed! Beep! Installing Genesis A.I Program: 3%]
The child looked at the blue screen as a long, red rectangular box appeared at the bottom of the screen. In the red box, a similar size blue rectangular box was advancing slowly through the red box.
Time passed as the blue box was almost thoroughly across the red box.

The blue screen distorted and then a line appeared on the screen that blink every second.
"Name?" The child didn't what the A.I. was referring to; a name for the A.I. or for him?
"It's for the A.I.," The man said. "I made this A.I. a long time ago and haven't used it because I have my own A.I.. This is the first time it has ever been used so you need to give it a name."
"A name, huh?" The child looked at the screen and continued to think for a name.
While thinking he thought of something that he though was quite ironic. "This thing that I'm supposed to give a name to is going to a name before even I, its owner, remember my name."
He continued to think before he blankly, "Eden. I'll call you Eden from now on."
The child didn't know what 'Eden' meant nor cared. He just felt that the word was pleasing to say and call out.
[Beep! New Name: Eden! Confirmed?]
"Yes." The A.I. made another 'beep' before it said it’s in stiff, but warmer voice.

[Genesis A.I. Program Has Been Renamed To 'Eden!' Eden Greets You, Host!]
After saying that, the blue screen disappeared in front of the child, but the child felt another presence around him and he could tell that it was Eden.
"Good, now that you're done let me tell you something about myself." The man walked towards the child with a stick in hands and a pair of glasses on his face.
The child was a stunned as the man walk over to him. "Where the hell did he get those from?" The child thought.
The man waved the stick and a black screen appeared. The screen appeared to be similar to the screen Eden used with the child, with the only exception in being black.
"Genesis, replay and summarize my memories into a play," The man said toward the screens and then countless images flashed through the screen at breathtaking speed.
However, the child saw every image and completely memorize every frame that was shown. As the child look at the screen, the man started to talk.
"Long ago, there was a child that was born in Imperial Qin Royal Clan of the ancient Eternal Melody Empire. On the day he was born, seven-colored lights descended from the heavens and numerous divine beasts came by to prostrate in worship to the child. Of the divine creatures that came, a mystical beast that hasn't been seen in years, the Qilin, went over and kissed the child on the head."
"Since that day, the child went through many trials and experience endless glory and prestige throughout his life. He made various breakthroughs and was a sovereign in his generation. Very few ever matched his talent as he became peerless Paragon at a very young age. This handsome, powerful, talented, handsome, peerless, unrivaled, and handsome man was me!" The man face was full of arrogance as he talked. However, anyone from his time wouldn't deny his speech and agreed that he was a hero of his generation.
"Then, one day, an army of outsiders suddenly appeared and devastated the lands. I, being super powerful, destroyed that army and saved countless worlds, with the help of some friends. Then, I got a nickname from the masses, Human Emperor Qin! It sounded a lot more badass than 'Paragon of the Virtuous Noble Dao' so I picked it up and that was my official title along with a bunch other title."
The man continued to talk for no end. Hours or days seemed to pass as the man continued to brag about his life. Then, after a while, the man was finally concluding his story.
"Ah, it's time for me to conclude to my tale. My glory ended when I tried to go into this space hole. I then ended up dying in there, but my soul traveled to this idol that I set a long time ago. People come by every now and then to give me offerings and I give them good fortune depending on who they are," The man sighed as talked about his death. "And that's all to be my story."
The child yawned once the man finished and said, "I thought that you were supposed to summarize your story, why did it take so long. Also what do you mean you reincarnated from a planet called Earth? And that you were a scientist? And that your name was Michael? Also, how did you die like that? Weren't you super strong and smart? I feel your story is a lie."
"What lie?!" The man was infuriated again. "My story was all true! I reincarnated from Earth, arrived in the cultivation world, became an emperor, and died by mistake. It's embarrassing to say how I died, okay? Be lucky to know how I, the majestic Human Emperor, disappeared from the world."
"Majestic, my butt!" The child, who had a calm and patient demeanor, began to show fiery emotions as he talked to the man.
"Tch! Damn brat, let me show you this Emperor's divine might!" The man stretched out his hands and pinched the cheeks of the child.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" The child cried as the man pinched his cheeks.
As a man and a child were fighting in an endless white space, cries and screams echoed in the white space. After what seemed like an hour, the man and the child were lying down on the white space. Exhaustion were on their faces as they pant and breathe heavily.
"Damn brat, you're pretty good," The man said while his two of his hairpieces laid down on the white space. "This Emperor is now tired because of you."
The child with red cheeks then said, "Tired? You old geezer, you better be down for the count for pinching my cheeks. You didn't have so hard you know."
The man got up and put back on his two hairpieces. "Kid, I find your personality to my liking. For someone as young as me, I don't disciple. Instead, call be big bro and I'll gift to you some good stuffs."
"Huh? Big brother? You old geezer, what 'big bro'? Someone as old you is enough to be my ancestor, right?"
"So what? My age doesn't mean crap! I'm still young in the inside. Acknowledge me as your big bro and I can give you the dankest of skills and techniques," The man cursed.
The child stared at the man for a moment before saying, "What would I need skills and techniques for, huh?"
"What?!" The man's eye were round like saucer. "You don't want power? Why?"
The child blankly said, "I don't need. There's no reason for me to have power."
"Not even if it could help get your memories back?" The man raised an eyebrow at the child.
The child looked at the man with surprise. "I can get my memory back?"
"Of course you can. Something is currently sealing your memories and if you cultivate, you can break the seal."
"Really?"
"Yes! Anything is possible with power and strength!" The man looked serious at the child. "Well kid, what is it? Do you want or not? Do want your memories back?"
The child took a moment to ponder. He then looked at the man and said with determined eyes, "Yes! I want power! I want my memories! I want to know why I was in the forest! I want it all! Please give me power, big bro!"
The child bowed to the man. The man looked blankly for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
"Good! From this day on, you are brothers with me, Qin Daozi!" The man declared.
Qin Daozi pointed his index and middle finger at the child. Two rays of light were launched at the child and a surge of information appeared in him.
[Unknown Force Has Enter The Host! Beep!]
Eden's voice rang in the child again.

The child stared in wonders at these new techniques that he just received.
Looking at the child, Qin Daozi smiled with pride again. "What do you think? Big Bro Qin has cool techniques, huh?"
The child nodded and said, "Big Bro Qin you're so cool! You have such powerful arts and techniques!"
The man's smile widened and he said, "Nah, those are just basic arts that you can cultivate for now."
However, his expression then turned serious. "I just remembered! You don't have a name do you?"
The child shook his head. "Should've done that from the start, huh? In that case, let me give you name."
Qin Daozi closed his for a moment and thought, "Nine seals, nine layers of restriction. Someone sure put out a powerful enchantment to seal this kid memories. The seals are really complex, even for someone like me."
He then opened his eyes and said with a grin on his face, "I know what your name should be now! From this day on, your surname is Qing and your name is Jiufeng! Qing Jiufeng!"

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
