Chapter 27: Future prospects...

(Body Two)What's he doing anyway? It looks like he is tirelessly working on improving everyone's skills in the dojo. Why are we talking about it? Why don't we just ask.

"Master Shikans, can you help me with something in a moment when you have a chance."

I essentially need to order more biomass and XP. I just think it is better if he knows why it looks like I still need to fix some things here before I finish this spell. It looks like the mental cages around my clones were from the systems intervention. It looks like I can edit some of that but, it seems like they need breathing room to think properly and learn. Think of it kind of like being burped....I need to stay focused. Body two is getting stronger than me. I can feel the ebbs and flows of our spar better now. I knew it wasn't going to take long but they did show up for me. Sorry, I was looking through time again. Why does it feel like everyone is watching me? Oh they realized I am doing this all with just thinking. I'm controlling mana with my mind and fighting at the same time. Sounds extremely complicated but the only thing complicated about it is that I slip and answer to myself sometimes. Causing me to spiral away mentally from the other parts of my mind. Which includes body two and three. Keeping this all up is tricky but I would say it's a 6/10 on the hardness scale to control. But it would be so much easier if we didn't just switch from sparring to form training. I wonder if that illusion spell has hit them yet. It was supposed to stop them from taking control over me and what not.

My mind drifts and I begin to wonder about the whole thing. How am I going to tell Master Shikans about this pit royale, is he going to condone it? Maybe I should just ask for stronger bugs today. He'll probably step in if I do. Get hurt that is; my mind was drifting when I was thinking about that. I need to hold these magic symbols together for the whole structure to fail if I don't.

Would it be crazy to see 360 degrees around you? I'm going to see if I can mess with his arms and legs and see if I can get them faster and stronger. Maybe it's an upgrade with the brain, something with the neural networks. I can't understand why I would be allowed to mess with any of this but I think I'm going to play with my core until I figure it out. It has to be something with the mushroom.

Let's see how I edit the DNA of this thing. As I begin to circulate mana into my core. It looks like the only thing I can do is inject it with mana but it feels weird to move anything. It sorta feels like healing magic mixed with a hint of space magic.

MAKE THE CHAIN.(I hear screaming in my mind as soon as I think about this weird connection I have with my mind in the future.)

What chain do I make? It's crazy what comes into your mind when you ask yourself questions all day and have two other bodies to answer you. It seems these bozos keep answering all my questions as if i'm not sitting here just thinking about a subject. Does everything have to be a lecture with these guys? Hey, is it not like I'm in the right mental space anymore? I can't believe it. The system is now leaving my mind and trying to go into the minds of the other bodies. So nosey. Why don't you keep yourself occupied with this, I quickly jerk the connection back to me with the system still locked in. You're not leaving me yet. I understood time and space magic just in time to get a hold of what's going on. 

You need calibration, it looks like you're corrupting slowly… Time is tricky. That message was from the future. It's hard to understand the context behind some of this stuff. 

I shouldn't have mixed space time and mental magic so quickly. It looks like it moves through me through enough iterations of myself to literally cause my mind to break a billion times. I literally broke the system's backup copy of me and it was moving to capture another. I think it was using that to keep my mind straight in some other higher dimensional direction. 

A faint whisper in my mind. If I can't see them in this life…. I'm afraid to hear the rest. What do I become? A monster, unhinged from human law. Chaos consumes all. But in chaos ordinance is born. A memory of me looking out into space comes to mind along with those words.

What does that even mean?

You know those big painful mental attacks I suffered were literally caused by the systems interference. Not for a bad thing just not particularly what I want from this relationship. But anyway I need to trim up some of their mental networks so they get more like designer structures. The captain is all done. And the magic caster that wants to do martial arts has to split his mind into the last body. So he is holding it together barely. And that chain thing was literally me putting a crack in time and space back together with no help of my current dimensions self, it was like a fractal pattern that didn't make sense to me, like somebody robbed me of something or something took off poorly. No idea. I currently have… oh well. Instead of recounting it in my head I should just open up my status menu and check.
