Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

'And the 'god' also does not know my whereabouts perfectly. It must have not foreseen me getting there just in time and obtaining the device.' Zick coldly thoughts.

The beings known as gads have been blatantly exposing their hostility towards Zick for a while now.

'It might be because I am not from this world, but other possibilities cannot be discarded.' While Zick was lost in thought, he and Levienel had already arrived at their destination.

A land filled with boulders appeared before them. The whole land was barren as far as Zick could see, mounts rose from the ground in many places.

This place was the southeast border of the eastern continent, known as the great feret desert. It was not known as a desert in the past, a forest and few cities existed here. But suddenly, the soil lost its fertility, it almost became impossible to grow any crop in the area.

The water became sparse and then vanished, almost like vaporizing in thin air.

With such strange phenomena occurring everywhere in this region, the people could only abandon this place and relocate somewhere else.

Thereafter, this place was known as a cursed land by everyone on the continent.

A desolate breeze passed by Zick fluttering his hair and clothes. Sun had already started setting on the horizon slowly.

'The lab should be hidden here if I am not wrong.' Zick turned Levienel to ask a question, but she beat him to it.

"There is something underground." Levienel's deadpan voice reached Zick. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Zick nodded and looked below intently: "Miss Levienel, please."

There was no need for Zick to spell out what Levienel needed to do. Both of their figures dashed off right to the ground at once.

Bang! Sonic booms occurred as the sound barrier broke spontaneously.

BOOM!

Like a drill, Zick and Levienel dug deeper into the ground. The loud sound of ground being torn apart was being made.

Bam! Coming across something hard, Levienel's advance stopped for a second, but the thing stopping their way couldn't hold on for long.

BANG!!

Breaking through the wall, Zick and Levienel landed on a dusty white platform. Looking around, Zick found many chairs with skeletons sitting upon them.

'This must be section 2' Zick remembered such a room from the novel.

There was of course an entrance to enter the lab, but Zick just found it too annoying to go. There were many traps in there and some of his time would be wasted for no reason.

'The next section must be the place where the control center is located then.' Zick tried remembering all the information about this lab from his memory.

With the help of 'will' Veins Zick could remember most things very easily.

The research carried out in this hidden base was very classified. Only the ones with high prospects were carried out in this place and were even given special attention.

Zick looked at the bones crushed by the debris below his feet. Dusting off the pieces of debris from his clothes using magic, he started walking forward.

The room was fully white and fairly large, the end of the room was almost three hundred meters away from where Zick stood.

The whole room was quiet, with nothing but white everywhere, the lamp on the ceiling glowed white, the dress worn by this skeleton was white, and even the chair was made of white substance.

'The technology of the past really surpasses the current technology. Even after so many years, the lamp is working just fine.' This also gave rise to another question.

'How did the alchemy tower with such advanced means die in the end?' Zick thought for a second and put it aside for now.

The skeletons on the white chair were bound by chains, and there were many clawing marks on the chairs, showing the agony they went through.

Zick remembered a certain torture from his past life.

'If I am not wrong, it was called white torture. These people seem to have been subjugated by it.' Zick gave a sidelong glance at one of the bones which had a small stature.

'Did the research carried in here need to pressure its subject physiologically in some way?' Zick speculated for a second before heading towards the exit in the distance.

Levienel followed behind him quietly, the air in the white room was tense which might give a suffocating feeling to others, but the both of them were not affected in the least.

Arriving before the steel door, Zick could see a card swiper on the side and there was also a monitor below it.

A small fluctuation of mana was being released from it, showing that it was a magical device. The door itself also gave out a huge amount of mana. So Zick knew that he couldn't break it in a short time.

"Please break the door," Zick said, stepping aside.

Levienel placed her hand upon the white steel door lightly, a golden hue traveled from her delicate-looking hand to the door.

BOOM!

The door was directly blown to smithereens.

BEEP!! BEEP!!

The siren started ringing at once, but no guard came. No one was alive in the lab anymore.

Zick squinted his eyes: 'I guess the place has degraded a little after all, the siren did not ring when we directly broke through the lab before.'

A long corridor appeared before Zick, there were many doors leading to the different research labs. Ignoring them all, Zick looked at the black door at the end of this corridor.

There was also a long corridor behind Zick.

This corridor was made of steel and there were railings in the corner. Many yellow lamps illuminated the place around him.

"Let's directly break through that door," Zick spoke to Levienel with a smile.

Originally, he had to access this door from four different places located at the left wing and right wing of section 2 to open it. But now, with Levienel, there was no need for it.

Directly, Zick and Levienel's figure accelerated forward covered in a golden light. The black door at the end of the corridor appeared before Zick in a blink of an eye.

A red magic circle manifested above the door blocking Zick and Levienel. But it broke apart in three seconds.

Bam! Slamming into the door, they entered the control center successfully.

The dust settled and the beeping noise increased frantically.

CLANK~ Sound of some security function activation rang out.

Zick instantly ran towards the control monitors which were huge and spread to the corner of the wide room. The device to access the control board appeared in his hand.

Zick started scanning the board with many switches looking for the place to insert the device in his hand.

BANG!

A bullet strengthened with penetration magic sharply flew towards Zick. Just when it was a meter away from him, a golden barrier stopped it.

Levienel had stopped it at the right moment.

Many gun-shaped objects protruded from the wall.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Bullets started flying toward Zick and Levienek but it was useless due to the unbreakable gold barrier.

Magic circles appeared on the ground and chains extended toward them to bind them. But they were ineffective against the barrier too.

Zick continued looking for the insert port on the large board.

The knowledge of the novel was useless as Leona was the one to search for the insert port and Aeiron had defended her at that moment. The particulars were thus not answered.

BEEP~

Suddenly the monitor gave out a beeping sound and activated. The image of something loading appeared on the screen.

After a second all of them turned red with an unknown word written on them.

A transparent blue figure of a woman slowly materialized in the middle of the control room. It was the controlling Genie of the whole lab. The word AI fitted it more as it was just like software working according to the immense data set by the alchemist here.

A robotic voice left the lab genie's mouth: "Security protocol breached. The target thread level was deemed to type red, commencing self-destruction in one minute....."

Suddenly, The lab genie froze and her transparent body flickered with new information.

Zick turned to the genie leisurely, and the sound of the gun being shot also stopped.

Zick had inserted the device into the control board and looked around calmly. He was not surprised by the appearance of the genie, it had also appeared in the novel.

In reality, only around ten seconds had passed since they entered the control room. He looked at Genie closely.

The genie had the image of a mature woman in her twenties and had a very lifelike look.

Many transparent screens started appearing around Zick rapidly, and the system and genie started rebooting.

The genie started speaking again: "System reboot completely"

"Lab authority transferring process complete."

"The silver wing system successfully activated."

The genie courteously bowed her head: "Genie R-38 greets master."

Luckily, the lab Genie spoke in the language of the eastern continent, so Zick could understand what it said.

A smile spread across Zick's face thinking about all the things in this lab. If he wanted, with all the knowledge and research results stored here, Zick could become the greatest alchemist existing.

Zick's prospects in the alchemy profession had skyrocketed at once.

Zick didn't even bother going through the information on the transparent screen around him, he spoke to the genie with no hesitation.

"Take me to the experiment code-named — bio golem construction!" Zick's voice couldn't hide the excitement in it.

The biological golem would follow all his orders faithfully with no hesitation. This golem would never betray him, just this fact made Zick satisfied more than anything.

? Genie's body flickered: " Searching experiment bio golem construction." It intoned in a metallic voice.

DING! "Experiment bio golem, pinnacle level research. Located, Section 3, grade Z room."

The genie extended its hand forward: "Preparing teleportation circle. Commence teleportation in ten seconds."

A teleportation circle appeared below Zick and Levienel, it was almost instantaneous.

The whole lab, wall, floor, or ceiling was made of an enchanted item or magical device. This allowed it to create a teleportation circle like this with the help of Genie.

After all, they just had to store the data on how to create the teleportation in the genie database and she could create it easily by going through that data.
