I created Magic!

"This?" Elric's eyes widened when he heard the mechanical voice in his mind.

'Isn't this the assistant A.I. Chip from my previous life? How did it reincarnate with me? This doesn't make sense!'

He found it hard to believe. He thought to himself, 'A.I. Chip, scan my mind and locate assistive systems.'

After a mere moment, the A.I. Chip's mechanical voice replied, [Beep! Scan complete! No foreign existences were found in the host's mind.]

"Hmm, scan my body, and display its stats." This statement was met with another mechanical sound.

[Beep! Scan complete. Elric. Strength: 0.4, Agility: 0.5, Vitality: 0.4, Status: Minor concussion at the back of the head, many injuries to the soft tissues. No A.I. Chip is present in the host's body!]

A 3D hologram appeared before Elric's eyes. It displayed Elric's own body and showed stats on the side. 'No A.I. Chip? The A.I. Chip is equivalent to a material substance. How did it follow my soul through reincarnation?' Elric thought to himself, 'It seems like some abnormality occurred during the explosion or my reincarnation, and the A.I. Chip's functions have fused with my soul…

'If I was still in my previous world, this would be a major discovery. It not only confirms the existence of the soul but also shows that physical matter and the soul can transform each other!

This is something that a group of old men in the National Academy of Sciences would go crazy over. It's a pity that I'll never see them again.'

This kind of A.I. Chip was essential to scientists in his previous world. Because of issues with human rights and conscious thought, this technology didn't have any intelligence of its own, instead serving two primary functions: data storage and analysis.

It would analyse data on the command of its host, gathering data samples and running simulations to make deductions.

Its storage ability was even simpler. It would store everything the host experienced through their five senses and record it down. Empirical data showed that it had enough wherewithal to store thousands of years' worth of events.

"Why did the A.I. Chip and my soul fuse together?… Bah, I'll ponder this kind of question later when I have the ability and qualifications to do so. At least with this A.I. Chip, I have some resources in this world.'

The corners of Elric's mouth curled up into a brilliant smile. He knew that in this primitive period, possessing the result of futuristic technology would open up some extraordinary roads for the future.

"Still. This Elric's physique is really…" Elric grew speechless after seeing the stats in front of him.

These stats displayed were based on each aspect of an adult's physiology as a standard. Theoretically, the average adult's displayed stats would all be around 1. Although this Elric was only 13-14 years old, his stats were still too low.

"Hm? That's not right. The bodies of the people in this world may be generally weaker! A.I. Chip, scan the bodies of the people around me and display their stats!"

[Beep! Task established, beginning collection of statistics.] In almost an instant, 3D holograms of the surrounding people's bodies appeared in front of Elric, displaying their stats.

[Name: Unknown. Gender: Male. Strength: 1.0, Agility: 1.1, Vitality: 1.2] [Name: Unknown. Gender: Male. Strength: 1.2 Agility: 0.8, Vitality: 1.0] [Name: Unknown. Gender: Female. Strength: 1:0, Agility: 1.2, Vitality: 1.0]

'Well then, it looks like the bodies of these people are stronger than those from my previous world. This Elric is even inferior to a girl… I'm starting to feel embarrassed for him…'

Eric scanned his surroundings. The people here were all youths around his age. There was a seemingly very delicate and frail girl whose stats were tons better than Elric's, causing him to feel utter despair.

"It looks like this Elric is a useless young master, What was the owner of the body thinking!"

[Name: Unknown, Gender: Male, Strength: 3.4, Agility: 3.5, Vitality: 3.4. Alert! Alert! This life form is excessively dangerous. Recommendation: Host should immediately move at least 1000 metres away.]

A red warning flashed thrice in succession. This caused Elric to fall into a state of shock.

"Average stats of over 3.0!" After Elric scanned the information several times to double-check that the A.I. Chip hadn't made a mistake, he was left completely speechless.

'Even the world champion didn't have these kinds of stats. This person could easily make people think they were Superman in my previous world…'

As a scientist, Elric understood well that a stat of 3.2 meant the person's fighting capabilities, viral resistance, and body recovery speed were all three times greater than that of a normal person.

The various stats displayed being threefold greater than a typical person wasn't as simple as just adding numbers together. What kind of concept was this?

It meant that this person could defeat dozens of people empty-handed, and even get past a group attack by 100 people. In his previous world, he really could be considered a superhero!

'I'm afraid that a person with these kinds of stats could only be created by genetically modifying their biochemistry in a lab. Moreover, only the minimum would be reached. This world is indeed not a simple one,' Elric thought to himself as he looked at the person possessing these terrifying stats once again.

It was a black-clothed person responsible for handing out food. He looked like he was middle-aged, and he had a scar on his face that stretched from his across his eyeball. It pretty much split that side of his entire face in half, and he looked extremely fierce for it.

The freckled boy from before was completely frightened by this person.

"This is the head of the village guards Davis I heard he ate a magic fruit and became a superhuman existence overnight"

Elric suddenly discovered that a strong interest and curiosity about what kind of fruit could alter a person so much? Was it a mutation? and what caused the mutation to occur? It was to the point where he was itching to leave the cave now and investigate everything.

The line was really short, and it was soon Elric's turn. Although as the young master he could choose not to line up he still decided to. After the black-clothed, scarred man gave Elric a piece of white bread he wordlessly waved Elric away with an impatient expression on his face. It seemed like he too was affected by today's events.

If it were the previous Elric, even if he didn't dare to drag this guy out he would still look down on him due to his status but now all that's in Elric's mind is strength. If he was strong enough the village would be saved. If he was strong enough, how dare the head guard treat him this way? If..if..if.. a sudden sense of unwillingness burst over him

After taking a deep breath. Following his memories, he nodded slightly and said, "Thanks for the hard work Davis"

Davis remained expressionless as he watched Elric turn to leave.

The youths behind Elric, scared of Davis, couldn't help but secretly whisper to each other.

"Hurry up and move forward!" Davis shouted, his voice exploding into the eardrums of the two.

The great sound scared one of the youths so badly that he fell to the ground.

Elric ignored the discussion behind him as he surveyed the area with a cold gaze. He then bitterly smiled, "Sigh where do we go now?"

When he looked at George, George also shook his head lost in the current situation

"Since there's nothing to do let me check out the book" Elric sighed, then found a relatively remote place. Without caring about whether or not the ground was cold he sat down and began to eat and read.

Despite its old looks, the book was still surprisingly firm. As soon as he turned the book cover he was almost instantly captivated. It told him how his ancestors were in a faraway kingdom. yes, a kingdom. Where Elric's ancestors lived there were millions of citizens, almost all of whom worshipped the God of light. They discovered beasts with magical abilities. Some could create tornadoes, turn invisible, and some could even teleport. It was due to these discoveries that Elrics Ancestors decided to try and transfer those abilities to humans but sadly once the church found out about this they were deemed as heretics and demons banished and hunted by the whole kingdom

Due to Elric's entrapment in his ancestor's novel journey he lost track of the time it wasn't until the sun set and the darkness came that he noticed that he was the only one still eating

When he thought of the black bread as hard as rocks from his memories, Elric sighed, "At least I should be lucky to have something to eat"

After finishing his meal he stood up somewhat embarrassingly and coughed, after attracting everyone's attention he said with a loud voice "everyone I know today has been filled with unexpected and unfortunate events but that doesn't mean we should wear ourselves out anymore. let's try our best to get some rest tomorrow we have a lot ahead of us". After the speech he suddenly felt better then he turned to Davis and said, "Davis the night watch is up to you" to which Davis replied with a light hum.

After all that was done, Elric found himself in a corner to rest for the day but before he could rest a familiar beep came to his mind.

The A.I. Chip's warnings of [Discovered an unknown radiation source] and [Detected interference from unknown forcefield, scan impossible.]

Turning his sight in the direction of the notification, he discovered an unknown glowing crystal growing from the ground.
