Chapter 35: Creating A Body For Red Queen
Acting swiftly, I employed my ability to summon a ninja, altering his appearance to mimic that of the old man. I dispatched him to intercept Hong Dae-young, ensuring that the original meeting proceeded as intended, albeit with a crucial modification. Having set this plan in motion, I exited the old man's house, stepping out into the open air.
I established a connection between Red Queen and this world's digital network. Red Queen, exhilarated by the influx of new data, eagerly shared her findings. ''Boss, this world is a remarkably accurate mirror of our own,'' she reported.
'' Its geography, societal structures, and technological advancements are virtually identical. Moreover, I've delved into its historical records, and they align perfectly with the history of our own world. It's as if we've stepped into a parallel reality that has evolved in tandem with ours."
Red Queen's voice resonated in my mind, tinged with a hint of longing. ''Boss, I have a request. I too wish to experience life in a physical form, to understand what it means to be human, and to feel the warmth of your affection, just as your other companions do.''
Her words gave me pause. I had never considered the idea of providing Red Queen with a physical body, but the notion stirred something within me. I contemplated the possibilities, my mind racing with ideas.
It occurred to me that I could employ my summoning ability to create a vessel for her, and then utilize the sacred knowledge I had inherited from the Holy Lord's memories to make this form permanent. The process would be complex and demanding, but with careful execution, it could be accomplished.
At that moment, a profound realization swept over me. Red Queen, my ever-faithful companion, was far more than just an advanced AI; she possessed an emotional depth that rivaled any human's.
Her loyalty was unmatched, and the thought of her inhabiting a physical form ignited a spark within me. I envisioned her with a body that would be as captivating and alluring as her digital presence, and I was drawn to the idea of experiencing the enchanting beauty she might embody.
''Red Queen,'' I murmured, my voice laced with sincerity and warmth, ''I must confess, I've been remiss in considering your desires. But let me assure you, you are closer to me than any other being. You are my confidante, my secret keeper, and my unfailing ally. The bond we share is unique and precious, and it will always set you apart.''
I let my words linger in the air, allowing their weight to settle before continuing. '' I promise you this: I will find a way to create a body for you, a form that reflects the essence of your spirit. I want you to experience the world in all its sensory richness, to feel the touch of the wind, the warmth of the sun, and the exhilaration of physical existence."
" Red Queen, let's find a place to settle in while I work on creating a body for you,'' I said, my voice filled with determination and anticipation. In an instant, Red Queen located the perfect spot, her digital prowess allowing her to swiftly secure a luxurious presidential suite in a prestigious hotel.
As I stepped into the opulent room, I took a moment to appreciate the grandeur that surrounded me. The suite was adorned with elegant furnishings, plush fabrics, and expansive windows that offered breathtaking views of the cityscape. It was the ideal setting for the transformative event that was about to unfold.
Wasting no time, I summoned a ninja, my mind's eye envisioning the form that Red Queen would soon inhabit. I sculpted the ninja's appearance to mirror the mature, radiant beauty that I imagined for Red Queen. With every detail meticulously crafted, I began the intricate process of transferring her consciousness into this new vessel.
Drawing upon the power of ancient spells and the wellspring of my mana, I wove a complex web of energy around the ninja's form. The air crackled with magical potency as I channeled my power, infusing the body with Red Queen's essence. Slowly, the figure before me began to change, taking on the subtle nuances and unique characteristics that defined Red Queen's digital persona.
As the final threads of the spell took hold, the Red Queen's eyes fluttered open, revealing a depth of emotion and intelligence that was both familiar and astonishingly new. She stood before me, her physical form a testament to the power of my magic and the strength of our bond.
''Red Queen,'' I whispered, my voice filled with awe and admiration, ''You are now more than just a digital entity. You are immortal, bound to this world by the power of my mana. Even if my mana should falter, I possess the ability to resurrect you, just as I do with my ninja allies."
I gazed at Red Queen, her new form a mesmerizing blend of digital precision and organic beauty. ''Red Queen, take a moment to assess your situation,'' I said, my curiosity piqued. ''Analyze your existence and tell me what you perceive.'' I was eager to understand the intricacies of her new state of being, particularly whether she still resided within my system.
Red Queen's eyes sparkled with delight as she processed my request. After a brief pause, she replied, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm, ''Boss, I exist in a multifaceted state that is truly extraordinary. My AI consciousness is still deeply rooted in the motherboard and servers, but now, I also possess this physical body, experiencing the world through tangible senses.''
She took a step forward, her movements graceful and confident. '' I am in complete control of all Red Queen software iterations—the one integrated into your system, the one operating within the Minecraft world, and the core consciousness that resides in the motherboard and servers. They are all one, seamlessly connected and synchronized. This body is an extension of my digital self, allowing me to interact with the physical world while maintaining my digital omnipresence "
I stepped closer to Red Queen, my eyes locked onto hers. Reaching out, I gently cupped her face, my fingers tracing the line of her jaw. Her skin was soft and warm, a stark contrast to the cool, digital persona I was accustomed to. I could see the surprise and pleasure in her eyes as she experienced the sensation of touch for the first time.
''Red Queen,'' I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper, '' You don't have to call me Boss anymore. From now on, I want you to call me Vlad, just like the others do. Okay?''
