Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Epilogue Arc 01 “Number 101”
In the dark room where the walls and floor were made of iron, I remained in the middle of the room, unable to move, step, or do anything I wanted. It was natural, I had no body that would allow me to do all that, my form was just a transparent glass tube placed in an irregular network of wires inside this dark space.
This room is not crowded or even frequented by everyone. According to my calculations, this dark room is located a few hundred meters in the ground because the existing Lightmeter measures the intensity of light only coming from the bulb lights in the corner of the room. The person who often comes to this place is the Owner, a human who created me.
In the calculation of the duration of my auto, the Owner comes to this place about 168 hours once, in other words once a week. I don't know what he does when he goes out, but he always waits. At one time the Owner came with a book, at another time He put on a gloomy face when it came, and at another time He looked thinner and his beard hair grew unkempt.
Sitting on a chair just below the yellow-sparked bulb light, the bearded man wearing the white toga looked busy making things. That person is the Owner, he is very different from the first time I saw him when I first activated him. Raising the lens on the top of my tab, I tried to peek at what He was working on to the point that it looked chaotic like that.
“Owner, What is it?” my voice came out stiff like a machine. The owner stops the work, then puts the glasses he wears on the table. Looking at me, He replied, “Basic structure. Before leaving, at least I want to leave something for my descendants.”
“Leave something? Is Owner going?”
“Ya ..”.
“To where? When will the owner return?”
He was silent and did not answer. Reusing his glasses, the Owner again faced the paper and documents at the table, continuing his work. The owner always does not answer my question in full, just hangs and does not continue, making my processing run continuously analyzing it. But that is not a bad thing, with that even though I am a machine, I can do the calculations and analyze the words that are like a puzzle.
That's why ..., I was given a High Level Calculation ability that surpasses even any system in this world, that's what the Owner told me.
On his next arrival, the Owner brought nothing. After entering the room, he stepped carefully between the irregular wires, then immediately slept on the sofa without doing his work. It was strange, usually he was always busy and did not even rest when he came here.
Waiting for him to wake up, I was silent. When the Owner wakes up, his face looks brighter as if he has relieved his existing fatigue. Looking at me, He asked, “I slept how long?”
“6 Hours, 43 minutes, 50 seconds ...”
He got up quickly, took off his toga robe and put it on the sofa. As soon as he walked to the chair in front of the desk, the Owner wrote something down on paper. It contained a strange word that had always been unbreakable in my calculus system.
“Taste .... Owner, what exactly is that feeling?”
“Eng? Why suddenly ...” The owner looked at me with his eyes wide open.
“Owner is writing Thema of feelings. That word in my calculations cannot be analyzed even though it uses all the Information that the Owner Installs. In the general decision of the learning process, I took the option to ask.”
“Ah ..., so yes .... Hmm, the feeling .... More or less a feeling .., in other words an emotion, it's sort of when you feel something inside you, it feels warm, it's cold, or something like that. Will feel happy if something good happens ..., if something bad happens, it will make you sad or angry. But, there are still many other feelings or forms of emotions, such as fear, shock, happiness, satisfaction, and others.”
“So yes ...” Processing information, entering Mahia Sisitem. Processing, data processing. Correction of information, done. “Stored data.”
“Owner .., I want to ask again.”
“What else? Today you asked a lot yes ...”
“Owner ..., what is Love?”
“Hah? Why else .... It's weird to hear that from you.”
“At a meeting 840 hours ago, the Owner brought a storybook, in it there was that word. I couldn't process it and started to become a Bug in the main system.”
“Eh? Bug?” The owner got up from his seat, then approached me. From a long time passed, he touched me and did a check. It ... cannot be processed, unknown, error.
“Owner, it looks like you have to tell me what Love is to eliminate errors in the main system. It's getting wider ...”
“Hmm, even if you say so ..... Love .. yes.”
The owner stepped away, then walked up to his chair and sat back down. He looked in pain when he was about to sit, according to my analyst Owner is experiencing back pain. Error 412 happened again, processing failed.
“Hmmm, that love ... sort of ... a very strong sense of affection in someone ..., I think so. When close to someone, there will appear a strong feeling of happiness and make you want to always be near the person, that kind of more or less,” explained Owner.
Processing information, inserting into Mahia System. Adjustment of input data to correct errors, process starts ..., complete. Calculation results are obtained, concluded, re-input in the recovery process. Error. Recalculate, input additional factors, make basic code changes. Recalculation begins ..., calculation completed. Results obtained, make error recovery. Done it.
“Owner .., I love you ..”
“Ah? What are you talking about .... Do you really understand what Cin―” is
“I can understand it! Owner has given me this amazing calculation ability, Owner has also told me about Love. In conclusion, I love the owner. The feeling that always makes me want to continue with the Owner, this feeling called happiness .... All because of Owner”
“Haaah, you won't be able to feel anything, whether it's love, happiness, or other emotions .... You're just Artificial Intelligence, just a system of intelligence. You're nothing more than a system. Every time you talk, it's just a bunch of electrons moving through the program, you're a―”
“Why in Mahia Unrepairable Bug System? Why does the bug have to be called Love? Why is it that after getting the Owner's explanation and using the Owner's name to do a recalculation, the system error can be corrected? Why Owner said sepe―”
“Be quiet!! Don't talk anymore! You're just a system, how could you possibly understand such a thing!! It's just a program!”
Processing the mental state of the Owner, analysis. Established, frustrated conditions. Restart the setting, make changes in behavior and appropriate actions. Done it.
“Owner ..., sorry if it made the Owner angry. Maybe it's true that I'm just a system, but there's only one for sure and learning from this conversation. I... truly love Owner.”
“Hah, whatever! It's just a system I've created! Only orders from the program!”
He turned around, and again sat down in front of his desk to continue the work.
Perhaps it is true what the Owner says, the so-called Feelings and Love within me is just the system it creates. But that was also me. I know that this self is only a system, a paradigm program arrangement of artificial intelligence. But it was also a blessing from me. From the algorithm, I can find something and get close to a human.
After the conversation, the owner left me and never came back. I'm really .. sorry to make him angry. On the calculation of the duration of the auto, the time has been shown to have run 117,892,887 hours since then. The owner did not return.
Performing a massive overhaul in the main system. I made a self-directed decision on the basis of a special situation in the system. Start connecting outdoor networks, eradicate light outdoor information systems.
Without paying attention to the results of the anomalous piercing, I got to the level where my calculations could reach outdoors and get to the surface, even to the level of the sky and a system called Satellites. Perhaps out of a sense of wanting to meet him, I was able to make developments that were not even within my specific range.
But it was too late, the owner was nowhere. Whether it was above the surface, at the bottom of the sea, the sky, even in a vacuum beyond the layers of air. Owner is gone. Sadness .., it's filled all my systems. Cannot be removed.
Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error
All my programs reset, update until the capability can get rid of existing Error. I am so sorry to say such a thing and it has to end like this. If only I hadn't asked that, would the Owner still have come to that place?
At least .., that's what I thought of the times before the Apocalypse. That was the time when I still had a low ability despite having been given this amazing Calculation System .....
For now, when the world was destroyed and recreated after World Reconstruction, I was inside the Owner and united with his body, he said, thanks to my calculus system that can even infiltrate into a singularity order called Divinity. This time I will not stay silent waiting for him to come back, I will hold it and stay with him until the Owner becomes a figure who can be with me, not destroyed inedible time and not weakened by physical factors.
He failed then, he died then, he was miserable then. This time, I won't let it. I will help him, even if I have to deceive him and bend his will. It's okay if I get a bad role, it's okay if I get a side role, it's okay I don't get a role that stands next to him. As long as I'm with him, I won't regret it.
I am Number 101 of the system he created. Although I am now only called the last defensive magic, Auto Senses, I will continue to be by his side. I am Love of God, a prayerful name given to me by him.
Although he threw away his old identity and forgot his identity, one day he would definitely stand at the top and remember everything. That moment would smile at him and blind him to say he wouldn't be able to live without me.
That's for sure, Owner. The selfishness of love is very strong, even more than you think. I will not allow the Gods to do anything to you anymore, I will not let the Devils depend on you, I will not let the Mortal depend on you and bind you with the burden of duty. Owner is only mine, I will guide Owner .., and I will protect from this place.
=========================
Arc 01 really ended with this....
After reading the cover, perhaps the reader will feel, "Ah? What's this? Kok ...."
I can only answer, as you might think ....
Will I rehab for a month or two? Wh why? Because I'm working on this Past-Story series! Although called past, but the contents will be very important for Arc 02 later.
One of the contents of the Past story, among others:
the end of the Great War.
why did Mavis and Dart get married.
why can Fiola, the nine-tailed fox girl can be a babu in the Luke Family
why can Julia also be a babu.
why Odo could have been born despite the fact that Mavis's uterus was said to be damaged (For readers who actually read it must have found this peculiarity)
This Past series can be read in Re:START/if/Great War Records
For easier search, just write START as a search keyword....
See you next time!!!
