Overlapping Worlds

I had 10 minutes to figure out how to purify that stone. 

The moment my grandfather opened the box, the system message appeared again.

 - -Warning - Dimensional contaminant found - Purification required - -

This time however, I had access to the full list of skills from the World Creation System, and since my second ego was fully integrated with it, it was easy to find a usable skill, it was a skill that was awarded near the end of my 120 years, it was awarded after the civilization of my earth completely mapped all of the genome of the planet, down to the last microbe.

The "King of Understanding" Skill, it allowed me to fully grasp something, but had a 3 month cooldown timer. 

It took me over 2 minutes to process the huge amount of information that flooded my brain, I've had never used that skill before, and to be honest, I really don't want to use it ever again. The information on that rock was shoved at my brain, to its molecular structure, down to the name of the last dog who marked his territory on it. But what most caught my attention, was the information on the age of that rock, it was so much older than the universe, and also, her quantum vibration frequency, was close to normal, but not quite. It was a few hertz above the quantum frequency of anything from our world.

One thing I knew for sure, it was also not from any world that I've had created, since there were traces of elements on that rock, that I've never even heard of.

My ears and my nose began to bleed. My head felt like it was splitting itself open. But, I've had a idea on how to "purify" it. Or at least, to make sure it didn't contaminated our dimension. 

Another skill I've acquired, the "Fine Tuning" skill, allowed me to adjust the frequency of a item, mostly, it was used to adjust the sound produced by a instrument, but, maybe, I could also use it to tune that rock to match our dimension quantum frequency.

It took almost all of the 10 minutes, but, just as my grandfather was about to close the lid.

 - Dimensional Contaminant successfully purified - Risk of dimensional Overlapping - 0% -

It really was done... I still had a headache, but it was a good thing. I learned a lot from doing that.

First: That rock was not from one of my worlds, this meant that there were more worlds out there, similar to ours, but not quite so.

Second: While using the "King of Understanding" I realized that the original Quantum frequency of that rock, was really similar to that of our world, and that was the reason of the overlapping, the rock was not trying to adjust to our world, but to bring elements from its original world to our, to try and stabilize itself.

Third: Its original world was much, much older than our own. Almost 3 times older, at least. And when I say World, it's not the planet, but the dimension itself.

Fourth: The box that stone was in... It was a mystery in itself, how did it managed to harmonize the rock so that the contamination wouldn't leak out?

That last one, I think I would have to wait for the cooldown of my skill, and analyze it again, but... I don't know if I could handle that much information, if a simple rock made me feel that much pain, I wonder how much that box would be a burden on my brain.

And, just as I was wondering about it, the box itself started to turn to dust, as if it knew it no longer holded a purpose, it vanished, without a trace.

-Okay... So... what now? I can purify those rocks, but, is there a reason for doing so?

-I think there is. I didn't tell anyone about this, but the artificial awakening procedure, that gives people extra skills, they work even if you already have more than 2 skills. I just made sure not to do so after trying it on myself.

My grandfather once again closed the meeting room, making sure no one could hear us.

-I tried it on myself, in hopes that I could get a skill to normalize my lifespan, but, I wasn't that lucky. The skill I got was called "Prophetic Divination". At first, we thought it was a future telling skill, but that's not the case, what is does, is to allow me to see the patterns of things, and how they may impact the future, so, in a sense I can see the future, but only If I have enough information. Sometimes, having new information can cause the future I saw change. 

He sat down, looking a the now, purified rock.

-That's why I was so focused in getting you back... The faster I could. So we could spent those few years the world had, together as family...

Few years the world had...So... This world was on its end, something so big was happening. What's the point of waking up then? If the world is going to end anyways, why bother...wait... 

If that was the case, he would never tell me about this, he wouldn't have showed me the rock, and he wouldn't made me try to purify it.

-Did the future changed? And I've got something to do with it?

My grandfather gaze went from the rock, to me, and then to the picture of all his wives and children, that were on the far end of the room. 

-Yes, the moment you purified that transmigrator, my skill showed me a new future, and now, as you purified this stone, the same happened again. I'm still not sure what that future is. I see a lot of worlds, overlapping each other, places that have creatures we never seen before, cities with technologies years ahead of our own, and all of that, in a world devoid of stars, a never ending night, and a never ending world...

He fixed his look on me.

-But every time you do something, that changes, for a few moments, before going back to that never ending night. Every time it changes, it show a bright world, in a sky full of stars. 

He got up, and the meeting room was no longer sealed, at the door, there was a young woman, if my memory was good, that was Iris. It's being quite some time since I last saw her, but she didn't change much, not like Camille.

And as I was about to greet her, my grandfather tapped on my shoulder, and make a "shush" sound, which I immediately understood... "Casanova" would mostly likely trigger the moment I opened my mouth. Instead, I thought of a countermeasure.

Using the materialization skill, I created a system like window in front of me. And instead of talking, I would write out what I wanted.

I was actually crossing my fingers behind my back, hoping the Casanova wouldn't trigger in writing as well.

 -Hello Iris! Sorry you had to cover for the old man, and I'm really glad to see you again!-

I could see her tearing up a bit, just a bit, and it was gone, she was always a serious person. 

-It's good to see you again too Jee Yon, it's no problem, your grandfather always does this, if he thinks the meeting will be annoying. I'm used to it by now. I'm really glad you woke up. Your appendage saw that you woke up? I'm surprised she's not here, glued to you.

I was glad the Casanova skill didn't flare up, with this, I could talk to other women as well. And it was nice to see her, she smiled a bit when mentioning Camille, I could tell she was worried about her. Since we were always together when I was still living with my grandfather.

 -Camille have already seen me, she cried a bit, okay, a lot, and I was really surprised on how much she changed. I was kind of worried you had changed too, but, it seems you are still the same. I'm really glad. And also, I'm really sorry for worrying both of you. I'll do my best not to do so in the future.-

-It's okay Jee Yon, you are your grandfather's grandson, and a apple does not fall that far from the annoying tree.

-Well well well, it seems like the brilliant secretary is much more talkative near my grandson. Maybe the Casanova skill is still working Jee Yon.

-I dont know what you are talking about Director Kai, but here is the full transcription of the meeting, here we have a brief summary of the discussions, and in this folder, I've organized all the data and relevant information. If you could excuse me, I'm tired from being ogled over by the old men from the government, I'll take a shower and go to sleep.

And just as fast has she got there. Iris was gone, maybe Richard had teached her how to move like a ninja as well.

My grandfather placed the folders in the desk, and started skimming through them. 

-I think it's better for you to rest as well Jee Yon, I'll make sure to let you know if anything happens.

And with that, I went to the room, I really thought I wouldnt be able to sleep, after being a coma for 2 years, with my skill, but, the day was so packed with stuff happening all at once, that I was actually tired. 

I was afraid to go to sleep, to be honest. But, I also wanted more answers, and some of those, could only be found, by figuring out just how powerful my skill really was.
