The Memory System

I first need to wipe out my memories.

To be more precise, I have to archive most of the memories of this life to make space for some new information.

The reason for that being that since I have decided to stay with these Wankers™ for the time being, I might as well do something constructive for their overall goals.

And for that, I first need to do something about my Shit Body™.

Woah, that's a lot of trademarks.

Anyway, to make my shit body less shitty, I'll have to recreate my Mana Circuits, add some cores and make a new Magic Calculation Area.

I know how to do the first, but the rest require knowledge that is yet to be unlocked.

To unlock it, I need space in my brain, and to create space, I need to delete the other things.

Now, I have to create some mana cores and modify my organs. Thankfully, I already have a Dragon and a Vampire at my disposal.

So considering that, 10 years' worth of memories should be enough.

Well, I mean, I could sacrifice some other worthless information taking up space, like the details of my 104th life or my extensive database of meme culture.

But hey, the past 10 years were filled with nothing but abuse, torture and other depressing things, so there would be no point in holding onto them.

I doubt I'll be needing them again.

It's not like my earlier plan of torturing the hunters can go wrong in any way thus leading my family to learn of my survival and sending out a hunting party to finish me off once and for all which will lead into an all-out war.

So yea, I'm perfectly safe.

However, just in case, I'll remember the names and faces of my family members and some important people, like that sadistic motherfucker aka the Head Butler.

Hmm, but what should I do about 'her'? It IS a pretty amusing memory, but I don't know if it's worth remembering or not.

Eh, going by fantasy tropes (which rarely happen in real life), that girl could become an important figure in my future, so let's remember our past.

That sounded oddly philosophic.

Let's purge my memories now.

"The Memory System. Clearance level: Alpha. Passcode: 0682gfuckhafryt#%^9670fa"

⟦Memory System Activated. Welcome back, Origin.⟧

Following my words, an androgynous robotic voice sounded inside my head as the time around me completely stopped.

⟦My voice is not robotic.⟧

[Giving you a personality was one of my most uncalculated decisions of all time.]

⟦Your entire life is a mistake.⟧

[And there it goes again. Just do your damn job, will ya?]

⟦…Please state the memories you would like to archive.⟧

[The memories of the first 10 years of my life, except for the identities of my family members and important figures, including that girl and the incident related to her.]

[I trust your judgement regarding what you consider important.]

⟦Understood. The irrelevant memories have been permanently archived.⟧

[Perfect.]

⟦Would you like to download some information?⟧

[Yes. Download the categories 6, 48 and 1045.]

⟦Downloading 'Dragons', 'Vampires' and 'Human body modification'.⟧

Now to wait for some time.

⟦Download complete. Would you like to download anything else?⟧

Hmm, even if we set aside the space required to form memories of my upcoming life, there should still be some space left in my brain.

What else can I acquire?

Knowledge of martial arts? Hmm, nah, let's just focus on Magic for now.

Ah, how about that?

[Download the category 45.]

⟦Downloading 'Shadows'. Download Complete. Is there anything else you'd like to download?⟧

[No. Thank you for your hard work.]

⟦Understood. Deactivating the Memory System. I hope that the next time you use me, you do it to claim your rightful throne.⟧

[Your wish will never come to pass.]

If I wanted to reclaim my so-called throne, I would have done it a long time ago.

⟦System Deactivated.⟧

Good.

Now, let's see the things I have remembered.

❄️❄️❄️

Yup, as I thought, unlocking those categories was the perfect choice.

Using them, not only can I remove the label of 'Shit Body' from myself, I can actually upgrade it to something like 'Heavenly Body'.

For starters, I should recreate my Mana Circuits. Then I can move on to the heart.

The heart is important as for a human, that's the central point of the Magic Casting Process.

Then, I can create a Magic Calculation Area, and finally, the three Energy Cores to increase the rate of production and purification of three types of energies which exist in this World.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, "Samur, are you awake?"

It was Neia.

Come to think of it, she did say that she would come back with my breakfast shortly.

Is it possible that this world's 'shortly' is culturally different from the 'shortly' I'm used to?

I mean, this wouldn't be the first time when a word is used in a way opposite of its literal meaning.

"Come in."

Neia opened the door and walked in.

"I brought you your breakfast." She said after placing the plate on the table beside my bed.

Quite unfortunately, it was just a bowl of soup.

"Don't make a face like that. Your body is still recovering, so you need to eat some light foods to avoid burdening your body." Neia chided.

[Hey Memory System.]

⟦Please activate me first. Also, you do not have enough memory space to download the category 'Acting'.⟧

Wow.

I'm definitely getting myself a mask later.

"You sure took your time."

Especially when we consider that she was just making a bowl of soup.

"I thought that disturbing you and your little sister would be boorish of me."

Oh, so it was not a difference in our culture, but just her being late.

But why do I feel like I have been bamboozled in some way?

"Now, drink the soup and then sleep."

I took the bowl of soup. Contrary to my expectations, the soup was rather ordinary looking.

I took a spoonful of it, blew on it to cool it down (because I like having an unburnt tongue) and drank it.

The taste was also normal. In fact, it was flavourful in some ways.

"How is it?"

"Exquisite."

"Really? I'm glad." She heaved a sigh of relief. "You are the first person to ever like my soup."

"What? Looks like the guys around you have shit taste."

"Aww, you flatter me." She giggled. "Now, quickly finish it and rest. There's something you have to do in the evening."

Oh?

"What do I have to do?"

"You'll know it when you wake up."

"I look forward to it then."

Let's see what these wankers have in store for me.
