{At the HQ}

( MC POV )

'Now that I have finished with my breakfast, I think it's time to make more cubes, ' I thought while I returned to my room.

Although I have designed the suit, I forgot something way important about it, Energy. The whole suit works on an energy system, I don't want one for that. Shit why haven't thought about that.

'Hey system, you sure that you didn't give me some knock-off galvan, right?' I asked the system mentally.

[Host, No matter how much you transform, you are the core in every one of those transformations]

'Fuck you too' i replied.

I let out a sigh and transformed into grey matter again. This time, I started thinking about making an energy source.

'Wait, Upgrade body is made of these nanobots. Then how is moving? Does his body have a power source? No, if he had one, I would have known. Then, does his nano-bot tissue have a small energy bank? Doesn't that mean I could use that as an energy source? Wait, although it's feasible, the energy it could store may be limited, though there is no wrong in trying. Though first, I would have to get a computer to code this cube, no wait, I could use an upgrade,' I thought.

'Though I think I should make more cubes, no, I think I should make them after coding this one.'

I thought as I reverted back to my human form, and then I turned into an upgrade.

'I should train to reduce the transformation time, ' I thought, because now it takes me 30 seconds to turn into a form; it may not seem short, but it makes a big difference in this world, where anything can happen. If I am fighting with a speedster or someone capable of teleporting, I am as good as dead, so I should train to reduce the transformation time.

After I changed into an upgrade, I took the cube and let my flow into the cube. I slowly changed my focus to the cube, because in my mind, I looked like I was in some kind of place made of blue and black circuitry. I don't know what to do, so I thought of giving a command. As soon as I thought that, a screen popped in front of me, with a smiley face. 

|Hi| I spoke.

The screen didn't make any sound, just typed 'Hi'.

|You are alive| I asked back, because what I am speaking to is the cube that came out of me. Doesn't that mean it's my child?

'System, What the fuck is happening?' I asked to system mentally. Even though I don't want to be too much relying on the system, in this case, I don't have any choice.

[Don't worry, host, it's just minor code that was separated when you made the cube from your upgrade body. Although it is rare, considering that the upgrade transformation is an AI with a nanobot flowing body. It is a possibility.]

'Is that even possible?' I asked the system, because isn't that ridiculous?

[As I said, host it's a possibility] 

'How do I prevent that from happening now onwards?' I asked because if I were making more of these cubes, and I don't want all to have a conscience.

[You can clear the code in these cubes in your upgrade form soon after you make them. You could also clear this small AI if you want.]

'I could! Then why wait?' I thought while deciding to delete the AI. Though just as I was about to do that. The screen showed a sad expression.

Does this make me a bad person?

What gives me the right to do that, especially when it's done nothing wrong?

Why does this remind me of that?

~ Years ago~

"Erik, it's time to let him go", an older man said, patting the shoulder of a young boy.

Erik, who was now a 10-year-old boy, can be seen hugging a dog, though the dog is breathing slowly while also having a hard time keeping his eyes open. Erik slowly raised his head towards the man.

"But, the doctor said..." the smaller Erik said, though he was interrupted by the older man.

"For him to live, we would have to cut off his right leg. Even so, he would have a hard time," The man said, then he slowly kneeled, making his head level same as the boy.

"Do you want to make him suffer?" the man said softly, but all Erik could see was his reflection in the man's eye. His eyes filled with tears, unwilling.

Though slowly his expression changed to terrified and guilt-ridden, this time it was reflected from the dog's eye, as the dog made a small whimper, slowly falling to Erik's chest.

The dog slowly closed his eyes.
