Capítulo 2: Chapter 2 - Friday and Family Library
On the colossal St. Ancestral Mountain range, sunlight shined through the gap between the mountains into the deep canyons. On the hillside beside the valley, some snow remained.
Even though it's already the early summer, the snow has yet to melt. The cold here is exceptionally long. The roars of beasts can occasionally be heard.
On the surface of the valley stood a magnificent city.
The world outside of the St. Ancestral Mountains has been occupied by the beasts. The people living in the mountain range have not contacted the outside world for hundreds of years.
The people who live in the city are unsure of the situation of the outside world. It's been recorded that at the most glorious period of mankind, having thousands of Legend rank Fighters and Demon Spiritualists, the humans established many empires in the vast continent, but those empires have been wiped out.
The city, due to being stealthily located geographically, was well preserved from the Age of Darkness. They would occasionally encounter attacks from powerful Snow Wind Beasts within the St. Ancestral Mountains, however, after going through numerous devastating conflicts, the city was be rebuilt again and again.
These motley walls were an indomitable monument.
This city is called Glory City, and it is a symbol of hope for humanity.
~ Snow Wind Family Domain, Glory City ~
Inside the domain of one of the major families of Glory City, the Snow Wind Family, a 3-year-old boy could be seen sitting in front of the large lake that granted an amazing view from the mansion of the City Lord, his father. This young man is Ye Xen, the son and heir of Ye Zong, the City Lord as well as the heir to his grandfather's seat of patriarch of the Snow Wind Family.
From the moment he was born, he was hailed as someone special. His birth family definitely played a factor in it, but overtime, his own feats began to increase his fame. He started walking when he was 5 months old, and could also speak full sentences in his baby voice 3 months later. His family was pleased, especially his father and uncle.
His mother doted on his every move, especially after his first words were 'love mother'. That is something his mother does not let his father forget even now.
His sister Ziyun on the other hand, was the apple of his eye. She was too cute and loved her 'Big Brother Xen.' While not as intelligent as him, she was fairly smarter than other people. They played with each other daily and she was quickly becoming his favourite person in this world. She was always seen toddling after him and would even sneak into his room to sleep with him. The first time she did that, her father nearly had a heart attack since he himself was supposed to look after her that night. Their mother beat Ye Zong up pretty badly for his carelessness.
When Ye Xen woke up and carried her in his arms outside to their mother, after hearing the commotion, Ziyun just gave them all a sheepish face before saying she wanted to sleep with 'Big Brother Xen' so she went there. She was admonished by their parents but was allowed to sleep with her brother. From that day forth, guards were doubled around the two of them as they did not know what chaos there two would cause if left unchecked.
As for today, Ye Xen is very happy. He turned 3 a day ago and there was huge celebration for his sister and his birthday. Though that was not the reason for his happiness. He was happy since today he was finally being granted the first wish he asked from God. Friday, his personal A.I assistant system.
Suddenly, a notification popped up in front of him.
[Integration of A.I commencing in 3…2…1…
1%...
12%...
64%...
100%. Success. A.I integration into host successful.]
[Hello boss. This is Friday. Your personal assistant. What task shall I perform today?] the voice of a beautiful woman sounded in his head.
Ye Xen was elated. He was so glad that he did a happy dance over there, amusing his guards that were assigned by his father.
After he calmed down, he left for his family library.
While the Snow Wind family was the most powerful of the 3 major families, it was not solely based on the fact that the only Legend-rank Demon Spiritualist (D.S) Glory City has had in generations was a part of that family, but also because the family was descended from one of the founding families of Glory City, The Thunder Family. The knowledge accumulated in their family library alone would be priceless.
~ Snow Wind Family Library ~
The moment he entered the library, he was overwhelmed by the number of bookshelves this place had. There must be more than a thousand bookshelves! Oh, he was going to have a field day here!
He picked up a book regarding basic martial arts that are practiced by Fighters who make up the forces of Glory City. He was about to read it when he remembered he had someone to do it for him now.
"Friday scan this book and store the data in my memory. Can you do that?" he asked as he himself wasn't sure about Friday's capabilities.
[Yes, boss I can scan it and store the data gathered. However, it would not directly integrate with your memory.]
"What is it that we can do then?" he asked with a little disappointment evident in his voice.
[Boss, I can record the data by scanning the book, either page by page or completely, though some details are bound to be missed if you choose the second option. Since you have an eidetic memory which God has gifted you alongside my presence, I can create a feature where when you sleep, I can project the contents of the book in your dream space. Your memory shall be able to capture all of it and the procedure for every 50 books shall take approximately 12.5 hours. You sleep for 13 to 14 hours day. Shouldn't that be put to better use?]
Huh. Tony Stark's A.I speaks just as sarcastically as him. He quickly agreed and began turning the pages of the book one by one so that Friday could scan them. It took him 9 minutes for one book. Well, he had a long way to go now.
