C01: Harnessing the Power of the Demon Sword
Before turning once again dormant, the impression that had been left by the curious images of self-growth have left you pondering over its meaning. The humans all had their impressions and beliefs when you controlled them. Those beliefs controlled their morals and their habits, and you, sealed at 90%, had to conform to them. As such, you did not give it much thought because you simply did what you had to do.
The latest attempt was your own projection of the experiences you have gathered from the test subjects. You also had room to do - and think of whatever as you tried to pry on an empty person's mind and found none. You believe questioning the ideals leads to developing a psyche unique to those whom you possess. So you endlessly question in your mind, alone.
A craving for dominance is kept at bay by your unwavering desire to learn more about the world you exist in. You believe enforcing your own fractured psyche would be detrimental to accessing the experiences of those who might use your powers. So you prioritize symbiotically supporting those who may wield you.
June XX, 20XX - 2 months to Global Press Conference."Why won't anything work?!"Chief Sagami pounds his hand on the table, startling his peers and spilling coffee out of the mugs on the table. Frustrations over Synchronization Rejection - or when the
Maken cannot find a way to effectively connect with the consciousness of a patient and thus causing the patient to flatline, does not exactly make his nerves calm down; not especially when the Global Press Conference is scheduled very soon, and no breakthrough has been found to mitigate up the synchronization rejection down to 5% at higher levels of unsealing the powers of the
Maken.
"Director, you need to calm down!", a peer implores him.
"Frustration won't help us right now, we'll just do what we can while R&D figures out some breakthrough to minimize this side effect."
"Yes, I suppose you're right. Did we discover anything new?""Our experiments show that as we keep giving the Maken more comatose subjects, patient synchronization rejection becomes less likelier. We also discovered that the aura emitted by the sword has changed slightly. The Maken seems to have adapted around the rejection problem at higher sealing levels, but the more we unseal it...""Yes, I know... the sword obtains far riskier rejection probabilities. Inform Dr. Jones about our new findings. He's the one who created the basic psychological framework for the Maken. He should be able to pinpoint the correlation of synchronization rejection and these results.""Understood, Sir."As Sagami's aide walks out of the break room, his eyes pan over the documents he had left on the shelf. He had forgotten for a moment that a Highschool trip over one of Japan's most prominent schools of Science is also going to Kanazawa Research Institute, along with the Global Press. He enrolled his daughter in that school, hoping that she would come around and join him in his career soon. He did know that his daughter Kei was more interested in athletics than academics, but nevertheless, one can keep hoping for the best.
"Ahh, Kei. It's been so long since I last saw you. We'll see each other soon," he mumbles to himself, smiling.
??? ???, 20?? - ????You, the Maken, have been dormant for far too long. For a month, you have not been able to receive any new stimulus, as you had been kept sealed in your pedestal. More tests have been done on you, causing you to radiate more energy, and you have improved your abilities to synchronize due to having sorted out your psychological framework.
"...seal is at 40%! That's as much we can afford before the Maken fries its user!"But suddenly, you experience a massive energy spike as you feel your power rapidly unleashing out into the real world.
"...ou, NO!"Your senses heighten as you can feel the thought patterns of everyone in the room. They are all in a state of panic. All but one of them, who seems to have been gleefully murdering everyone with his bare fists.
"..ather! Don't die!"The stimulus is refreshing. You can feel the rasps of weapons grating as they traverse along the solid steel-plated floor, of the warps in the air as bullets fly from both sides, and the panicked states of people as they are suddenly attacked.
"W-We have no time... Grab it... and run!" "D-Don't do it, my daughter! We still haven't tested what would happen to you at Seal 40%-"The containment capsule is raised, and the seals have been negated enough for you to manifest into your blade form. Hexagonal shapes of pseudo-material form around your entity, covering you in a steel-like carapace, sharp enough to cut the victims who oppose your wielder. As you finally complete your form, you feel energy radiating from the one grasping your hilt - your wielder's energy, towards you. You feel time slowing down to a halt, as your consciousness moves to the world within - the PSI World, where you can pry open the hidden truths and secrets from those who take hold of you. And from where your consciousness operates.
