Prologue

Universe is in chaos. In the midst of war, destruction, and suffering a new life is formed.

The baby was crying in the room, its tiny hands clutching the air as its parents looked down at him. He was different from other babies; he had a unique aura of intelligence and power that surrounded him. 

- "Artyom, my sweet child, you have been blessed with a gift that few possess. I hope this will give you the best possible start in life", mother of the child speaks in a soft voice.

- "It's time for you to leave", father of that baby said softly.

- "I know", she replied, her voice filled with sadness

 "But I can't bear to leave him behind."

- "You must, my love, think about our son's safety", 

After hearing that she handed a small, shimmering object to him.

- "You know what you must."

With a nod he took the object from her and placed it in a box.

- "Take care of our son." she whispered, her voice trembling. 

- "It's a promise."

She nodded, tears streaming down her face. She leaned in to kiss the baby's forehead and reluctantly said goodbye to her son and husband and left the room, her heart heavy with the knowledge that she might never see them again. Before they could even revel in the joy of their newborn, they were forced to separate. She had to part ways with her beloved husband and son.

He watched as his mother left, the door closing behind her. Aruakan looked down at the baby, "I'll make sure he knows of your sacrifice and love for him."

He stood by the side of the crib, looking down at his newborn son. The baby was wide awake, staring up at him with piercing blue eyes, already displaying intelligence far beyond his years. He started to talk to himself hoping the child might understand.

"Your mother has already left," he continued, a hint of sadness creeping into his voice. "She had to. Otherwise, she will be shunned and you will suffer because of it." He sighed, turning to look out the window. The stars shone bright and vivid, the galaxies beyond visible to the naked eye. He knew that he had a great responsibility to fulfill, and he was determined to see it through. "I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety and success. You are my son, after all."

Over the next two years, he toiled away in the laboratory consumed by his mission to ensure his son's survival and growth. He pored over ancient texts and conducted countless experiments to refine the implantation process, never once wavering in his determination to make the supreme energy core a seamless and integral part of his son's being. Despite the challenges he faced and the dangers that threatened to derail his progress, he pushed on with relentless resolve, driven by his love for his family and his unwavering belief in his son's potential.

Through his tireless efforts, he finally succeeded in his quest. The supreme energy core was now a living, pulsing part of his son, waiting to be awakened and harnessed as the child grew and developed. And so, with a heavy heart but a sense of pride and accomplishment, he turned his attention to the next step of his plan - to build a machine that would help train and guide his son as he grew and enhance his mental abilities.

Crafted with the utmost care and precision, this sophisticated machine was unlike anything the world had ever seen. Utilizing virtual reality technology, it would allow the child to explore a vast and fantastical world, honing his skills and unlocking his full potential as he navigated its many challenges and obstacles.

As one year passed, Artyom became more and more aware of the world around him. He would often watch his father working, fascinated by the magic and science that went into the creation of the machine. To ensure his son was always protected, he also built a magical AI robot, programmed to act as a loyal and vigilant caregiver, watching over the child and helping him navigate this strange new world.

"As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, I couldn't help but notice my son's insatiable curiosity about the world," he thought to himself. "I watched as his eyes would light up with wonder every time he caught a glimpse of me tinkering away on the machine, the very creation that would shape his future."

"I wanted to make sure that Artyom would always be safe and have someone to guide him through this strange new world," he reflected, "That's why I built the AI robot, imbuing it with the magic and knowledge necessary to be the perfect caregiver for my son."

With these two guardians in place, Aruakan set out on his own journey, determined to make his way back to his family and be reunited with his son. But before he set out on his own journey, Aruakan left a message for his son, a crucial piece of guidance for his future. He spoke of the momentous decision that would soon be upon the young boy, a choice that would shape his destiny and determine the course of his life. He calculated that it would take him at least fifteen long years to fully master the complexities of the virtual reality training program.

Though he would be away for many years, Aruakan felt confident that his son was in good hands, surrounded by the love and guidance of the magical AI and the transformative power of the virtual reality machine. With a heavy heart, he set out on his journey, determined to one day be reunited with his son and the family they had been separated from.

Artyom's intellect surpassed all of his parents' expectations. Despite his young age, he possessed a prodigious memory, retaining every conversation he had ever had with his parents. As he observed his father's work on the sophisticated training machine, his curious mind analyzed the mechanics behind it and he felt an urge to recreate such contraptions himself. His remarkable ability to learn at an accelerated pace only added to his already impressive intelligence.

As he was left in the care of the AI robot. It was programmed to teach him about the world and the virtual reality game. The AI robot was equipped with the latest technology and had an advanced artificial intelligence system. It was designed to be the perfect caretaker for him. his exceptional intelligence allows him to swiftly comprehend the intricate workings of the machine he was left with. A delicate network of tubes pumps a steady stream of nourishing fluid directly into the brain interface of the device. This nutrient-rich infusion is integral to the successful operation of the machine, supporting his cognitive development and fueling his mental advancement as he delves deeper into the immersive virtual reality training program.

Artyom continued to grow, he also began to develop a curiosity about the world outside. His thirst for knowledge and understanding of the world beyond his isolated existence continued to expand with each passing day. The AI robot, tasked with raising and educating the young prodigy, diligently attempted to satiate his curious nature by providing answers and imparting wisdom. However, his restless spirit yearned for something more tangible, a chance to experience the wonders of the world for himself.

As he grows up under the care of the AI robot, he is exposed to the nuances and intricacies of the world outside. One such day the robot asked, "Artyom, do you know about the different galaxies and their cultures?" "No, I don't," replied Artyom. "Well, let me enlighten you," said the AI robot. "In this universe, there are those with great power and influence who reign supreme. They rule with an iron fist and their word is law."

He listened intently as the AI robot continued. "In order to navigate and communicate with beings from different galaxies, it is important that you learn their common language. It is called the lingua franca of the cosmos."

"But that's not all," the AI robot added. "You are also expected to conduct yourself with elegance and grace, as befits a member of a noble family. Your manners and poise will reflect on your family, so it is important that you learn these customs and traditions."

He took in all the information, eager to learn more about the world outside. As he reached the age where his training could commence, it was to embark on the next chapter of his journey.
