Chapter 8: The Empty Room

"Oh, really now?" David didn't seem startled by the voice. He had experienced a lot right now, he wouldn't be startled by pretty much anything as of this moment.

What surprised him was the fact that the voice seem to have been expecting him.

The steel door opened widely for him to enter and after saying his thanks to Nihyuh outside, he closed the door.

He didn't wait for Nihyuh's reply as he was too preoccupied with his thoughts.

He really had to rest otherwise, the side effect from either the transmigration or the transplant would get worse.

When he checked the interior of his room, it was really simple.

"Who are the 'We' you are referring to?" David said, speaking to the voice in a casual manner while observing the place he was going to stay for more than a year.

The room was Square in shape and had one thing in common, the four walls sides are pure white in colour but there wasn't a single bit of stain on it.

It was just pure white emanating white lights, illuminating the room.

The room had nothing in it.

There wasn't a particular source of illumination.

The four white walls of the room was the only source of light.

But it was by no means obvious at first sight.

Except if somebody explicitly wished to discover where the lights were coming from.

That really surprised David as he thought the wall of the room was a type of screen itself.

Walls as screens, Things in this world are still surprising to him.

It was very stunning, yet the colour white its self was an exceptionally exhausting and dreadful shading which made him think about the underground research centre he came out from.

It likewise made him consider himself been a trial subject, he shuddered. Clearing the terrifying contemplations from his head.

"Who are you and why are you expecting me?" David asked the voice which spoke out earlier when he opened the door.

"My name is s-" David interrupted it.

"Just stop right there, I don't actually care who you are nor what your name is, I just wanted to know how you accessed my room which is an invasion of privacy anyhow and why?"

David said with folded arms while frowning in displeasure. He hated invading other people's privacy and likewise, he hates others invading his privacy. But his eyes kept on searching through the room for something.

"That is quite harsh but since it's your first day in the institute, you are pre-empted for now. And as for your questions, we are the AI responsible for this floor. Which grants me a one time authority to override every student room audio frequency which I've used already to speak with the others, you are one of the few left."

David feigned exacerbation. It appears this AI simply needed to flaunt its authority towards them.

He lacked the capacity to deal with such things.

David filtered his room with a peddle like eyes.

Be that as it may, Once David didn't see any significant thing to an individual in the room, David frowned and asked.

"What is up with this?" he looked a bit surprised as he asked.

"Oh, that's the rooms default wallpaper. To change it to any colour of your choice, you will have to pay a specific sum of mon—"

The voice replied, but wasn't able to finish her sentence and was rudely interrupted by David

"No, I'm not talking about that, I meant to ask, why his my room empty? There isn't even a bed."

"Oh, that. It's made like that so as to keep enough space for the students to practice with. Hmm, as someone who didn't read the institutes guide. You would have to pay a certain sum of amount for that informati-"

David didn't even wait for the voice to continue speaking. He immediately left the room.

Nihyuh was just a few feet away. His face was as cold as ice and he was in deep thoughts with furrowed eyes brows.

Suddenly, he could feel the wind behind him stirred up, as he was about to check what was happening out if puzzlement, he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders from the back.

Glancing at David with confusion in his eyes.

"Hey, how can I access the my stuffs in my room?" David asked, how were they supposed to survive with basic amenities.

"Just lightly tap on your imprint for about three seconds, then tell it to detach the bed and the other things in the room . That's all. They were just hidden behind the walls." Nihyuh answered straightforwardly.

"You should really check out the student's guide. As there would be more things more complicated than this." He advised David while lightly patting on his shoulders.

"Hmm, I would do that. Thanks a lot. Would make sure to repay you. Don't wait up for me, I will be leaving."

David laughed awkwardly and waved, making a beeline to his room.

Again, not waiting for Nihyuh's reply. He entered the room, closed the door.

Pressing the imprint for three seconds, before he could speak to the imprint, David heard a voice In his head.

"Welcome David, since you are new to the system, it is advisable and compulsory to read the students guide, would you start n-"

He would have really wanted to scroll through the manual but he wasn't in a good condition to that right now.

"Can you detach the bed for me?"

"Detaching the bed now." The voice instantly reported.

Shua!

Light sounds of a machinery instantly rang out in the white room as David saw a part of the wall in the room immediately flipped over, revealing it's content. In a span of two seconds, the roll of metal quickly assembled swiftly with astonishing speed.

His eyes immediately lit up in as he saw the scene. It was a still a bit surprising and almost everything in this world seem to remind him that he was in another world.

But for now, he needed enough rest, as that seem to be the only way the side effects he was experiencing could clear up. That was what his intuition told him.


Chapter 9: ROTFELD Principle

The morning sun shone heartily through the air towards the exterior part of the dormitory.

Giving a slight metallic sheen to the earthy coloured shade of the hostels making them look kind of nice and strangely beautiful.

* * *

Inside a particular room. The bed rustled as a male student shifted his sleeping posture to a more comfortable one.

After a while, the sound of a slight rumble rang out through the room bouncing off the walls while making disturbing echoes in the room.

David's eyes jerked. His eyes shot opened up gradually. He yawned with his mouth opened wide however his eyes indicated he was still extremely sluggish.

As he was going to close his eyes once more, the slight thunder sounded out again however this time in a progressively furious tone.

'That was an extraordinary rest' Dav thought as he propped himself up from his bed.

'Guess I'm really hungry' caressing his rumbling stomach speaking to the imprint located slightly below his wrist.

A compartment detached itself from the wall, a network of connected machinery rapidly arranged it self revealing a one meter sized mirror. Sitting besides them was a bunch of tools needed to clean himself up nicely.

Also in the other side of the mirror, was a small compartment with a hole in it, which Dav speculated was a type of waste bin.

He took his bath soon afterwards which was a weird experience for him but it was quite nice. He left his room hurriedly, his stomach almost rumbling in sync with his footsteps.

Upon following the pull of the imprint. He reached the cafeteria only to realize that it just opened like a minute ago.

There was no food available yet.

Seems like he had arrived too early.

Sitting in one of the chairs in the cafeteria, he noticed he was the only one in there at the moment. Although it was a bit strange, he didn't think too much about it.

He had decided to wait until the food was available but until then, he intends to find out what the students guide is all about as it had places him in a tight spot the previous night and also how to operate his imprint.

Applying pressure on the imprint for approximately three second straight.

'Good morning David, hope you enjoyed your days of sleep?'

The robotic voice of his personal AI rang out through his mind.

'Of course I did, thanks for asking.' Although, it was only a computerized reasoning, it hurts no one to be polite to it.

'Wait, what do you mean by days of sleep?' David asked, somehow confused by the words spoken to him by the AI. David was a really perceptive person. Thinking outside the box and noticing what others rarely notice, he was really good at that.

'The duration of your slumber was 52 hours : 12 minutes : 5 seconds which is approximate 2 days hence the word 'days' .' The robotic voice answered.

"What?" He was stunned. David's voice was raised an octave higher than usual.

He was truly freaked out. The fact that he had slept for two days straight surprised him and honestly, he currently still wished to sleep a bit more.

Although, he loved sleeping like really but that doesn't indicates he would be blinded by it.

Who falls asleep for two days straight without eating anyways?

Breathing in deeply, he calmed his nerves 'What seem to be the problem?' David asked the Ai.

'I can't seem to comprehend your question.' it replied.

'Right, I forgot it was an AI.' David thought.

'I slept for two days straight, is that normal?' David stated his problems to the AI.

'Although slightly abnormal, it's still considered okay. It was stated that due to the process undergone by the students, stressing out the limits of the human body, the body would need certain amount of rest. Sleeping for a day and maybe two is perfectly normal in order for the body to regain its energy. Although, 98.7 percent of the students woke up after a few hours of rest.'

"I'm a very special being, so doing special things should be expected." David comforted himself.

'Now, can you kindly inform me, what actions I must perform to operate my imprint? And how the hell you are talking straight to my head?' he had just registered he had a voice directly speaking through his head.

'To operate the imprint, you just have to switch to the manual mode which would decrease my rate of activities, to grant you access to the system.

The reason I could communicate to you straight to your head is due to the ROTFELD principle.

It's the combination of different complex theories and thesis on vibration and frequency.

Several centuries ago, the entire human genes available in the genome was read and edited by the conjunction of many Genetists from different parts of the world. They came together to form great inventions, thesis and theories and one of those theories is the ROTFELD principle which generally allows for telepathic communication through physical contact, gene frequency deciphering and electric brainwave frequency matching. ' The AI concluded.

Silence reigned in David's head. Not hearing any robotic voice, "Goodness, are you done?" David finally asked exasperated.

'You don't appear to understand the standards." the AI inquired.

"No I didn't cause you lost me there at ROTFELD Principle." he replied bluntly.

'Switching to ROTFELD principle explanation for dummies.

In layman's term, it basically means reading the frequency your brain uses to receive audio waves and then matching it to send message through the same brain wave.'

"Hmm, I think I get the gist of it."

Before he could continue, a loud buzz sound rang out, indicating the availability of food.

Seeing as the food was already available in the cafeteria, Dav hurriedly stood up for his.

Standing before the machinery, he raised his hands up as he was told too. His imprint was scanned, then instantly, his food popped out from an available space in the machinery.

David stared blankly at the box of sticky fluids on the tray he couldn't comprehend what just happened.
