Chapter 4 AI Chip

Chapter 4 AI Chip

Dante was unceremoniously deposited back into his room, and his face was still as pale as it had been from the moment every single being on that street treated him as their life's goal.

He was panting heavily and sweat formed on his body despite not partaking in any strenuous physical activity. His mind buzzed with thoughts that were flying through rapidly and he realized that he was having difficulty actually getting air into his lungs.

[Detected that the user is in a state of severe mental imbalance due to heightened fear and panic. Releasing required amounts of melatonin.]

Suddenly, Dante felt his body relax involuntarily and he felt incredibly sleepy. He only had enough energy to lift himself up from the floor and fall onto his bed before he began snoring lowly.

[Host is in a peaceful state, and is asleep. Beginning in-depth assimilation to the neural system! Estimated time: 10 hours.]

...........

Dante woke up and blinked three times, his brain barely functioning. Before he could even think, he jumped off his bed and rushed to his toilet before going to take a long and deep piss.

The more time he spent excreting, the more his brain fired up and memories came back to him. Now that he was out of the intense situation, he was far calmer about everything and couldn't help but feel strange.

First question, what exactly happened?

Second question, why had it happened?

Third question, how had it happened?

Every other question would have its content partially answered as long as he could satisfy these three. In order to investigate what happened, the first thing was to check his phone and the app he made, which were the most likely culprits.

As such, Dante patted himself for his phone and realized it wasn't on his body. He then checked his desk, his bed, and the floor where he landed.

He began to panic slightly when he realized his phone was missing inexplicably, but then he remembered something from yesternight.

"That's right, a voice spoke in my head, and it was also synthetic. Could it be that the Huawei gained some new features after passing through what should be a quantum wormhole?" Dante pondered.

Then how was he supposed to contact it? Uh, in the fictional stuff, they often had to either think or speak 'status'.

"Status," Dante spoke and thought at the same time.

Nothing.𝚋ed𝚗𝚘𝚟e𝚕.𝚗et

Dante was slightly embarrassed before claiming himself down and pondering once more. He had an idea and decided to be more direct and not be obtuse.

"Huawei G20, respond."

[Greetings, Dante. What can I do for you?]

Dante was startled that it actually worked. A part of him wanted to believe that everything he experienced was a fever dream he made up due to fatigue or excitement, but this practically cemented that everything was real.

"What exactly are you? How are you able to do this and what happened before I went to sleep?" Dante asked three of the most pertinent questions rapidly.

[To answer your first question, I am an embedded AI chip formed from the hardware of the previous Huawei G20 that was modified by an external force and merged into your body.]

[To answer your second question, I am currently merged with the entirety of your body's brain and neural system. This is my current limitation as I require further upgrades to be able to extend to your other organs and systems for maximum compatibility.]

[To answer your third question, you ran a program on my previous model which was misread and processed, opening a spacetime anomaly that warped you to another universe. Upon return, you were heavily panicking and hyperventilating, so I flushed your brain with melatonin and forced you to sleep.]

Dante was amazed. He received the answers directly in his mind and there was no delay or misunderstanding. He understood each word and phrase without any ambiguity that came from listening or speaking to others.

He saved this miraculous feeling and then thought about the phone's... AI's... answers. He realized that there was a good chance it could answer some questions since it seemed to understand some of what occurred in-depth.

"Alright, thank you for the answers. Before I continue, may I know what kind of authority you have over my body and how I can access or control you?" Dante asked calmly with his hands on his thighs.

[I have only partial access to your body outside of emergency situations, limited to scanning, assisting, and boosting. In Emergency situations, I can take the most logical options to preserve your safety in the most optimal and beneficial way.]

[Your control is full and unlimited. You only need to think of any application of which you want me to perform, and it shall be done.]

"Hmm..." Dante rubbed his chin and thought about it.

"I don't have any qualms with this, maintain these settings as they are, thank you," Dante instructed with a smile.

Dante wasn't enough of a blockhead to do something stupid like limiting his AI's ability to save his life in a critical situation. He did not believe his thinking or reasoning capacity was better or faster than an AI.

"Hm, Alright then. You changed from a phone with an AI? Do you still have a physical form or are you in the form of nanobots or the like?"

[Unfortunately, I am the most basic AI model available on the market, so I have a physical chip lodged in the center of your brain. Also, because I was not naturally produced and rather converted from a phone, my capabilities and functions are far weaker than even the AI chip I am supposed to emulate.]

This naturally made Dante frown. No one liked hearing that something they owned or possessed was far inferior to everyone else's, even to the basic standard of mass-produced items.

"Why did this happen? I saw you said you were modified by an external entity? What exactly was that?"

[Upon intrusion into the alternate world, we were noticed by some form of high-dimensional entity. After we were inspected, it chose to allow us passage and chose the place where we landed. It also modified my form into an AI chip and implanted it into your body perfectly.]

[I was also given basic information about the universe we entered, its laws, languages, and customs. That was how you were able to understand what they were saying.]

Dante was shocked by this. A high-dimensional lifeform? So in other words, assuming he wasn't turned into primordial soup by the travel, he could have just been silently erased if he was detected to be a threat by that entity?

Dante shook his head. He then thought for a short while, contemplating what was important to him and what wasn't.

"You said you have scanning functions, right? Can you scan my body and let me know my state compared to the average humanoid organism in that universe?"

[I have already done so while you were asleep. I will now display your information in the standardized method used in the Eternal universe and explain what they are or what they correspond to.]

ï½¢User: Dante

Age: 21 (Converted to Earth years)

[This is the SDI, the Standard Display Index, for all living beings in the Eternal universe when they undergo any scan. Each category has a different meaning. The 'User' denotes who the AI chip is registered to.]

[The 'Age' is converted in earth years, so if you ever exchange information with another person, their age will be automatically converted to this value.]

[The 'Race' naturally denotes the species and genetic stock of an entity, and at times, the quality of their racial genetics might be displayed.]

[The six body indexes are calculated based on your current value versus the basic standard of your species. In this case, it is being compared to the standard of pure humans in the eternal universe. Naturally, a full point is the average.]

[Bionics are physical enhancers that are installed into the body. They comprehensively increase the physical prowess and indexes of a person depending on the level and type.]

[Psionics are mental enhancers that are installed into the body. They also comprehensively increase the mental prowess and indexes of a person depending on the level and type.]

[AI Chip level is an indicator of my current performance quality against the basic standard per level.

[Superpowers are special genetic mutations obtained by organisms that allowed them to perform incalculable feats that neither bionics nor psionics can mimic.]

[Your current superpower is the ability to open a quantum wormhole to the Eternal Universe and back.]

Dante looked at the information and took in a deep breath. He just shut up and digested the information and its meaning for about 10 minutes, thinking rapidly the entire time.

Then he focused on one important fact.

"You say I can go back? Back to that place?" he asked with incredulity.
