Cosmic Editor

Chapter 43  Tier 1-ish

      The next day, David could be seen performing his usual dance. The dance, as usual, contained several unusual poses that even he thought that it was pure madness for it to be considered a workout routine.

     However who was he to question the omniscient being who had created it. David performed the dance for nearly an hour before he finally rested.

"Ha!.. I completed it" David shouted in between breaths

[Congratulations sir, you are now close to Tier 1] Nous said as David's eyes widened in shock

"You mean it?!" David asked almost as though he couldn't believe it

[Yes sir, however whether you can cross over to tier one is entire up to you, nothing I do can help you achieve that]

"What does that mean?, why does it feel like you're about to send me on some kind of quest?" David asked as he managed to drag himself to a nearby chair.

     Despite getting used to the training routine, enough to actually be able to not only keep up with the shadow but also enough to complete the entire thing in one go. David's body still ached him.

      He felt as though his body was on fire, his heart was definitely beating three times as fast. He could feel the blood flowing through his entire body at speeds that shouldn't be.

      He knew that it was impossible to have zero percent body fat but at the moment, he felt his body rapidly converting said body fat into muscle. Of course, he knew that in order to stablise himself, all he needed to do was eat.

      However he was more interested in what Nous had to say than food and beside, Nous already assured him that the transformation would be a good thing for only about thirty minutes, anything extra would impact his healthy greatly. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[The so-called tier 1 realm is one you should be familiar with. Energy is introduced, the practitioner becomes able to consciously use and manipulate the energy within and around them]

"So every tier 1 is a lesser god then cause that's energy manipulation right there... They alone can take complete control over the Earth"

[That is indeed true but like there are tier 1s, there are also tier 2s, all the way to nine]

"Okay I get it; they all keep each other in check, right?"

[That is correct sir]

"Okay then, where do you fall within this category"

[I cannot be classified by this system sir, my situation is a rather special one]

"I'm just gonna lump you in with the tier nine, you probably have some other secret techniques, you know"

     He may not understand what Nous meant by what it had said but he did know that the big Os traveled in a pack. They were a state of being not an ability, one cannot just be Omnipotent without being omniscient and omnipresent.

[That is your own opinion]

"Anyway where do I begin in sensing this energy"

[Like I said initially, I wouldn't be able to help you in this matter, only you can do it]

"Exactly how am I supposed to sense this energy when I don't even know what it's like"

[No two persons awaken into the tier one with similar internal energies, it is a unique event for everyone. Like you humans have you unique retinas and finger prints, internal energy is unique to every single user]

"So you can't really help me in any way?" David asked

[I can't however I can tell you that it would be to think about the character 'superman' in order to achieve your aim]

"What does that mean? Is superman some sort of secret code I don't know?" David asked

     He didn't understand what Nous was talking about. How was superman related to an Editor? Was she talking about how powerful he will be if he awakened as a tier one.

[You will have to figure all that on your own] Nous responded before going silent again.

     David sat out there for a while as he thought of what the A.I said before finally deciding to get something to eat. His cooking may be bad but he was improving steadily.

    Sitting with a plate of burnt rice before him, David scrolled through the internet on the new phone. Achieving that was easy, all he had to do was connect to the home network.

"Some of superman's greatest feats..." A content creator screamed almost on top of his lungs

    Scrolling without any hesitation at all, he was a geek and despite his focus been entirely on the Anime or for the uncultured, japanese animations, he still knew a lot about the DC and the Marvel universes.

     However all these were not what he was looking for, he already knew how powerful Superman was but how was that supposed to help him achieve his aim.

"Nous, you said that our power system is somewhat similar to the cultivation power system, right?" David asked realizing something.

[I did say so]

"Okay then, I think I understand now.... You could have just said that from the beginning"

[All is obligated to give as little help as possible to an individual who is about to awaken as a tier one, only to provide necessary information and nothing else]

"Whatever" David said as he rolled his eyes and immediately knelt on the ground

      Despite trying to be as crytic about the whole thing, the key to entering tier one was simply taking control of one's internal bio-electricity.

    As for the superman reference, Nous was simply referring to the character's bio-electric aura. It allowed him perform the feats he did.

     As for if he was going to be that powerful when he reached tier one, David had no idea. All that mattered was that to advance to tier one, he needed to be able to feel and manipulate the bio-energy his body generated.

"This is going to be tricky" David thought as he changed posture.

     He got into a lotus position copying all the cultivation manhwa, anime and other media he had seen. He didn't truly understand what he was to be looking for here.

    However, he now knew the name of what he had to look for. It was bio-energy, not getting into the technical part this was simply the total amount of energy a body produces.

      He could sense it in the form of stamina but that wasn't what he needed now, he needed to be able to use it to perform other feats which meant that he needed it in it's basic form.

    David sat for hours trying to feel said energy but nothing happened even with all the training boosting effects he added to himself, he still couldn't achieve it.

"Hey David!" He heard a call from within the house

"What?!" He answered and immediately stood up

     He was done for today, he couldn't bear it any longer. It was no wonder why characters in cultivation manhua and novels were always so stupid.

    They spend so much time out of society cultivating that when they return, they discover that they have been left behind by the world.

    The common sense leaves them, standard things become not so standard then you have their 'courting death' scenes

    After spending so much time, it was no wonder everything was as bleak as it was to them. Anyway answering the call, David immediately went towards its source.

   The source, Fadila could be seen in the living room holding a set of documents. She seemed interested in them but mainly focused on one.

"What happened?"

"Its a letter for you, apparently you are being invited to Harvard to give a lecture.... Since when were you able to do so?" Fadila asked

"That can't be right, right?" David asked as he picked up the letter

    True to her words, it was exactly what they said. Of course, the event would take place next year since their schedule was packed for now.

      Looking at the document, it seemed like an if. If things went well then he would attend it because why not and if the event happened before then, there would be no Harvard at all.

"What does it say?"

"It's not a lecture, it's a thesis defence, they want me to argue with established professionals as to why my theory is correct" Davis replied with a shrug

"What theory?"

"Honestly, I don't think you want to get into it now. Anyway this simply proves that we are becoming an authority in the quantum field" David replied

"That one concern you, abeg have you seen the remote... I want to enjoy my weekend before Monday's work begins" Fadila said as she relaxed into the chair.

      Looking at her, David couldn't blame her. By Monday, a section of the main building would be done which would mean that it would become useable so they planned to begin recruiting then.

     From Monday, the real work began. Of course, this was only just hiring people who would work in the company when it was fully built and nothing else.
