" ~Ooh, I"m a 300 hundred-years-Ooold... All alone in this place unknOoown~" if Nova had all human emotions, Nero would have already been abandoned and left without a partner. The number of words Nova had processed recently was staggering.
Nero had priorities, like quenching his newfound curiosity or making progress on his to-do list, but he simply lacked the ability or opportunity to advance on either front.
So he kept himself busy... With entertainment from his world.
Entertainment, an aspect of life in vast abundance, especially for Nero. After all, his AI had taken over all programmable items in his world at one point and copied all stored data on the Internet.
Essentially, he started to go through all the data stored in the entertainment genre, right from the start.
Country music was, at the moment, his new jam.
He liked it so much that he started making his tunes and writing his lyrics, with a Ton of scientific words, which only he knew.
He did try to bring his vocabulary out of the scientific boundary, adding new words to every melody he made in his head.
...
You know what they say, "New World, New living conditions"... Well, at least that"s what Nero says, in a not so calm manner.
With the obvious lack of evolution in machines and contraptions, problems for highly modern people, people like Nero for example, surface.
Disregarding entertainment, the biggest issue was sanity.
Taking a c.r.a.p in a pot felt much worse than imaginable to an eccentric like Nero.
"Look at the upside, I felt "disgust"... Nevermind, That felt so awful and eeky... Ugh, just thinking about all the goo that splattered and got bits on my bottom makes me want to choke on cyanide." (Ill-advised)
"at least I don"t have to clean it all up. Those poor ladies..."
Nero was known to the citizens as the youngest boy in the history of Pinnacle to become a hunter, own a house and gain discipleship of the Respected One. He was also known to be a sweet and adorable dark grace, as a cherry on top.
He had acquired such a level of fame that made some even envy him, his achievements were unheard of, and the public viewed him as a perfect child, with a mysterious past and talent level beyond paragon in manipulation, he was both revered and hated by those of his body"s age.
Like other hunters, Nero lived in the upper echelon of society, that is, he lived in a mile radius to the temple region.
With status and fame, he gained from gaining discipleship from the Respected one, even if he hadn"t played his role, that is of a hunter, no one still dared to antagonize him, for none in the whole of Pinnacle had the power and gall to offend Chief.
___
Section 32 was located North of B-64, any section in a one-mile radius from the Temple was regarded as rank A, there were 32 sections for rank A, 64 sections for Rank B, and 128 sections for Rank C. Rank A mainly consisted of Manipulators or mages, as the people called it, as citizens called it, main Heads for Major goods-producing industries, and the major parliament.
The parliament of Pinnacle was made up of the Chief and his attendants, civil work managers, board of approval, and civil workers.
The major parliament was the higher-ups; the chief, and his attendants, and the civil work managers.
Section B consisted of the working and middle-cla.s.s people, similar to everyday families on Earth. Section B had most of the total population living in it.
Section C was much larger than the other sections. This was rightly so, as it was pretty much farmers that made up the population. There was also a hierarchy between farmers, Those who had more fertilizer given to them were considered as greater farmers.
So, even though Section C was larger, it still had a lower population than section B.

"Okay Nova, start recording."
.Recording started.
"Record One.
"t.i.tle: New cosmos.
"It has been 150 days exactly since my awakening in this new world. Exactly 1150 days ago, the chip that stored my consciousness had mysteriously found its way into the brain of a child perfectly compatible with my consciousness.

"According to this world"s time system, Nova stayed dormant for exactly five years since the child was one-year-old. After this period, Nova uploaded my consciousness over the previous consciousness, that of a 6-year-old.
"After I awakened, I made my way to a village, southwest to the one I was born in. On the way, I found an interesting new particle never is seen before in my old universe.
"This particle made evolution incredibly fast for humanity in this world. After six months of research, I have come to a hypothesis.
"I believe this article has different forms, as in, it can be both ma.s.sless and have ma.s.s, create completely new and separate substances when bonded with compounds, and the largest of them, be refined and controlled by humans.
"Simply the fact that it can bond with complex compounds means endless chemical possibilities. This varies from possible new states for particles, separate from normal liquid, gas, solid, plasma, etc found on Earth, to completely new living beings, or even a possibility for a G.o.d-like creature to exist.
"With evolution being 99% fair, I highly doubt a G.o.dlike species to exist, however, there is a higher probability for it here than in my old universe.
"Because of this particle, technological advancements that use electricity as power have not occurred. This is quite normal because particle bonded minerals and rocks can function in a predisposed way, which means people don"t need to evolve on that tech front, but rather on the particle-material front.
"Life here is certainly incredibly efficient in most aspects, security is good, the need of people still exists, workflow for people doesn"t have ha.s.sle such as traffic or some disaster, not that I"ve yet seen, occurring. Living conditions are incredible and people can easily contribute to society, playing their part in the ever-changing village that is Pinnacle.
"This world has many more genres of jobs like a hunter, or a weaponsmith that turned obsolete on Earth.
"I am quite sure that this world is incredibly large, like two or even three times the size of earth in terms of surface area because, who the h.e.l.l would call Pinnacle a village? It"s f.u.c.king ma.s.sive! Like it"s a hundred miles wide, big enough to easily qualify as a city!
"If Pinnacle is a "village" then what the h.e.l.l is a city like? I feel narrow-minded just thinking about it, cause I don"t even know the number of uses humanity has come up with for these material-particles... I"m pretty sure there many more forms that this "mana" can turn into. If it can prolong the half-life of a particle, and thus increase the human lifespan, I bet it can do literal earth-shattering things. This time, I don"t even need to create incubators for more bodies, I can just "cultivate".
"Anyways, this is all hypothetical but it has no flaws, everything can be factually evidenced.
"Just thinking about it hurts my brain, I think I should try going back into my old state for the 10 minutes that I can, though it"ll probably disrupt and speed up brain decay... I"ll just stick to cultivating for now and gaining more and new knowledge about this world.
"Recording One ended."
.Recording One has ended. New Record- New Cosmos has been Filed. Any information during this recording is available for recall at any given moment.
"Phew, that was a lot. I"m only gonna make one of this every year or something... Moving on, what"s on my schedule Nova?"
.Current time: 5 PM, the user has a meeting with oldie in one hour, please get ready.
"I"m on it," Nero said out loud, getting up from his soft, memory-foam-like mat. Before the record, he"d been improving his manipulation skills, he had learned from chief about how he had to move forward, condensing mana quickly and efficiently, to gain more time for getting used to the mental fatigue it brought while having time to play around with condensed mana.
He had already reached amateur level basic mana control, as well as figured out how to quickly release controllable mana from the bloodstream into the lungs, so he could simply exhale most of the refined mana out, decreasing body fatigue as well remove pressure off from the Dan.
He knew if he showed his basic amateur mana (basic mana condensed to the amateur level) the already high level of jealousy people had in their hearts for him, would get worse.
He also learned that the way he broke the resistance barrier that one needed to cross to gain control over mana was incredibly different and effective compared to what the Village chief taught him.
His way, that took his will and intent to break through was different compared to the chief"s way, that was to feel the barrier first, then breakthrough with intent like imagining punching through the gla.s.s.
Nero thought that it was his experience that others didn"t have that helped him break through without even needing to take time in the first place.
He was mostly correct.
What he started at was trying to pull all the mana in the plants around him into him, which came to him as an instinct, one that never knew or felt before.
And because he commanded so with his brain waves, it happened. But for normal people to do what he did, they had to already know how to manipulate mana at an extreme level, like at the slayer level.
Essentially, he unlocked a way to make his body stronger as well as gain the ability to control mana, without even knowing.
"Alrighty, let"s go meet the chief"
