Chapter 4: Deus ex Machina

( Author Note (1): The main character isn't Ellie ( Arthur's canon sister ) he's Arthur's brother BROTHER as in male, it goes Arthur, Syre then Ellie. No he isn't genderbent, he's not even the same person as Ellie, if you could point out where you got confused I'll try to rewrite it so that future readers don't get confused. )

( Author note (2): Ok, so I'm going to make Alice Leywin be around dark orange at around this time of the series, around the time Arthur gets to the Alcyrian continent she'll either be light orange or dark yellow this is just for clarification on the strength of current Alice Leywin cause of the whole curing cancer and regenerating limbs bit )

==============

'Hm, nice sleep, A.I, fuck I'm getting sick of calling you A.I or A.I chip it's a mouthful, A.I do you have anything else that I could refer to you as?' - Sure

[ Beep! Response: Negative ]

'Hm, you know what, I'll give you a name… Deus, that'll be your name, as in Deus Ex Machina -the god from the machine- the person who has a solution to even the most impossible situation' - Syre

[ Beep! Do you want to rename 'A.I chip' 'Deus ex Machina' and 'Deus' as a shortcut?

Y/N ]

'Yes' - Syre

'Good now Deus shows me the current information you've gathered on the procedure and tasks that I've tasked you to do' - Syre.

[ Beep! Accessing archives! Response:

[ Procedure Complete; New information: 'Holy Mana' was introduced to mana particulates closest to the sternum and directly around the sternum -Not enough to cause damage to the area- and the mana particulates were shown at this point in time to be able to absorb the 'Holy Mana' and successfully gained it's affinity this resulted in the mana particulates which contained the 'Holy Mana' to become larger and change color from a maroon red to a crimson red, this is due to the impurities in the mana particulates being destroyed and removed. ]

'Good, now I can further my own experiments without using Mothers mana, it would become a bother eventually having to keep asking her for more mana' - Syre

[ Procedure Incomplete; New information: Using knight breathing method gained from Leylin Farlier memories and experiences 'Total Concentration Breathing' is in the process of recreation and is 65% complete, currently it is at an impasse due to experimentation being highly difficult which halts the process of optimization, bug fixing and whether the breathing technique will result in any health issues, as of now the current benefits of doing this new breathing technique will result in these benefits: Increased status in { Ability, Vitality and Strength } it will also begin to remove and destroy impurities of the body, increased life-spans, currently lacking in information to the other benefits gained, optimization on the breathing technique, issues with the current breathing technique, health issues that may arise with prolonged or short term usage of the breathing style.

Going along with hosts wishes to recreate 'Total Concentration Breathing' 'Total Concentration: Constant' is also in the progress of recreation and is 35% complete due to 'Total Concentration Breathing' being at an impasse. ]

"Syre…"

'We'll begin experimentation soon after I have formed my mana core and can properly use the 'Holy Mana' to asses and heal my injuries, that way we don't have to worry about any mishaps or injuries' - Syre

[ Procedure Complete; New information: The compilation of various meditation techniques, calming techniques, clarity techniques, memory techniques and memory techniques and meditation techniques gained through Leylin Farlier memories, has been complete, it has resulted in a technique that will allow the user these benefits: The acceleration of the mana core shortening the 7 years to 2 years if used regularly, increased memory retention through the use and creation of a mind palace, increased thinking speeds, increased creativity and overly ingenuity, increased overall wisdom and decision making under pressure and stress, access to the mindscape, increased learning speeds and overall talent, increased comprehensive abilities, increased deductive and intuition, increased in all of the senses, increased emotional stability and minor control over emotions, easier access to deep meditations, development of a spiritual third eye current abilities of this spiritual eye are currently unknown, possible development of Esper or psychic abilities through extended use though this has yet to be proven, it may be able to cultivate mana cores at an accelerated rate, etc. ]

'... That's really insane... Whoever you were or are Leylin Farlier, I'll pay back my debts to you' - Syre

[ Procedure Incomplete; New information: Mana Cores and Affinities, are the acclimation of mana particulates that have solidified, at first they are filled with the impurities and blood gained from the mana particulates, there are different rank to cores: Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, -currently lacking information on more advanced levels- each level of the core is further divided into three minor levels: Dark, Solid, Light, each level and rank allows the core to hold more mana and more control over mana. Mana Cores also contain affinities so far the affinities we've learned of are: 'Holy Mana' and 'Pure Mana', presumably there will be water, fire, wind and earth the four main elements of fiction, each mana affinity may have their own advanced version that have more power, each affinity may also combine as to create more varied affinities. Information currently lacking on base affinities, later ranks and levels of the mana core, currently lacking information on advanced or fused affinities, currently lacking in information on the rarity and likelihood of a formation of a mana core. ]

"Syre... Hello?" - Alice Leywin

'Same with the 'Total Concentration Breathing' we'll have to wait until I've formed my mana core so that we can actually experiment with advanced affinities, fusing affinities, though for the knowledge on them we can get it through books and reading' - Syre

[ Beep! Procedure Incomplete; New information: Mana, is an ever present force that has been observed to be both in the atmosphere and bodies though in a microscopic size, in the atmosphere and air it is in a more gaseous state that can not be viewed through the regular human eyes -it can be viewed by those who go into a deep meditative state- in human bodies it is more in a liquid state than gaseous it can be viewed through deep meditation, current experiments on mana in the body and environment have been stalled due to the zero capability of doing so. There is an energy that exists alongside mana but it can not be viewed by humans eyes, not through deep meditation or senses, the only way to view it is currently unknown, the reason we know of its existence is because there are microscopic spaces are absent of mana when viewed in deep meditation, unidentified energy(3) current gathering of information on unidentified energy(3) has been difficult as there hasn't been enough movement by the host and recordings to investigate its effect to the environment, humans, animals, flora, mana and more, current properties include: Invisibility to all senses, omnipresent that exists on a microscopic level. ] -Deus and Syre had accidentally stumbled upon a truth that very few people in this universe had every learned ( Author Note(3): Find out next time on Life after its End, jk its Aether, I wanted to introduce it really early so that it would build up the mystery of it to him like what's going on in the newest Tbate chapters )

'Well that ended in a surprise, a new energy type… Wait, if you could not interact with the mana in the body or environment how did you guide 'holy mana' throughout the path you set and the mana particulates?' - Syre

[ Beep! Response: When holy mana is sent to assess the body, Deus will activate distress and danger signals to the raw information, 'Holy Mana' will then proceed to go to that area and "heal" any "damage" to that area, then they enter the set path or mana particulates ]

'Does that mean Alic-Mother will think that I was injured while in the womb?' - Syre

[ Beep! Response: Negative, since 'Holy Mana' had already "healed" the parts the information refinement process had decided to not include those parts as it wasn't deemed important ]

[ Procedure Complete: Prevent Complications that may arise during childbirth ]

[ Procedure Complete: Awaken Host roughly 3 hours before childbirth ]

"SYRE!? Feeding time" - Alice Leywin

'Huh? How long has she been calling me?'

[ Beep! Response: 30 seconds… 31 seconds… 32 ]

'Yeah I get it' - Syre

( Writing style change )

Syre's stomach had unknowingly been rumbling for the past few minutes and had begun to make a fuss, Alice Leywin had already prepared breastfeeding and had been waiting for Syre to begin to feed but he had been staring into space the entire time.

"SYRE!? Feeding time" Alice had raised her voice slightly to catch the attention of her newborn 'Oh god, this had happened before with Arthur, Is it normal for a baby to be in such deep thought?' she had thought secretly, Syre then snapped out of his talk with Deus and had now realised the position he was in and swiftly -Not for perverted purposes you sick fucks, but for the nutritional purpose babies need to be fed a lot- begun to feed.

( Some time later )

"And done, time for burping" Alice had cleaned herself up after the mess that Syre had made with his zero muscle control and put his head over her shoulder and began to pet his back "Burrp" he bellowed, Alice then laid him back down on his side inside the rustic looking crib "Arthur, get in here look after your brother for a while, I need to get groceries and your father is outside training" Alice yelled from the top floor to the bottom, "Coming up mum" Arthur replied back and begun to leave the window that he was looking out from 'God, this is so boring, At least my mana core will be formed soon then I can get some real training done' Arthur thought while running up the stairs to look after his brother.

"Will be back soon, there's bread and jerky for you and milk for you and Syre if you get hungry' Alice said while leaving the house locking the door on the way out ( Author Note(4): I don't know what they'll eat, meat, bread and milk seems reasonable for a relatively poor family in a world with this level of technology )

( Some time later )

'Almost there, just a few more particulates and I'm done' Arthur thought while meditating next to Syre.

[ Beep! Alert! Danger: Mass amounts of mana gathering around Arthur Leywins Sternum ]

'Huh? Is he forming a mana core? Didn't you say it would take 7 years for a regular person to form their cores?' - Syre

As Arthur pushed the final mana particulate into the mass of them mana begun rushing through his body and sternum creating the new spiritual mana veins and solidifying the mana core a creating a blast of mana, Alice and Reynolds had just came back home to feel and see the pure amount of mana released from the augmenter awakening.

[ Beep! Alert! Danger: Mass amounts of mana ejected from Arthur Leywin, Mana collected from Arthur Leywins blast will be used to forge a core and newly identified spiritual mana veins to release an opposite blast as to save the host's life, emergency Spiritual Force and Magical power reserves will be used if yes.

Y/N ]

'Yes!' Syre quickly responded to Deus.

*Zoom* suddenly the mana released from Arthurs awakening came rushing into Syre and formed into a mana core and spiritual mana veins, *BOOM* A vacuum was formed through his conjurer awakening -which causes the mana in the vicinity to enter them and stay in the mana veins, this is a pulling force and Arthur augmenter was a pushing force, see if you were to pull something from the front and somewhere to push from the back you'd go up faster, so the mana in the area released from Arthur's blast was the mana that was used to create the mana core- this had effectively destroyed Arthur's blast and had bolstered Syre's own set of conjurer mana veins -unknown to all, but Deus Syre's mana particulates that he had originally had were still there and hadn't been used during the formation of the mana core-.

( Author Note (5): Chapter 4 finished, god writing all of the information gained and procedures in the last few chapters was really tiring, lucky me most of that stuff will be halted for a while and most of the next few chapters will be focusing on training and then the trip to Xyrus, thank you guys for the support can't believe I got 12k views and 90 collections it's been a blast writing for you guys even if it's only been a short while )

( Author Note (6): I changed some parts of my writing style with Deus I think I like the change so Imma keep it… Bit of a long chapter and a bit rushed but I wanted to get this out of the way )

( Author note (7): The reason I'm making mana veins a spiritual type object is because I forgot to mention it during the previous chapters )
