Getting a Technology System in Modern Day - Chapter 1013

Capítulo 1013: Eyes Open

Bip. Bip. Bip. Bip.

The man on the bed could hear the rhythmic beeping that engulfed the room as he tried to fight his mind, which was trying to force him to wake up. He wanted to sleep more, as it was something he had missed quite a lot and didn’t want to cut short.

But that was only momentary. The moment the line of thought finished forming, and just as he was about to try and make it a reality, a blue screen spread in front of him despite his eyes being closed. It startled him as if he had been hit by a flashbang, and the shock also acted as a trigger that broke the dam, as his memories started flowing once again, as if recovering backup data from a computer that had been shut down.

[Soul reconstruction complete. User health in perfect condition!!!!!!!!]

Those words on the screen were the only thing he could see as his mind took the recovered memories and cataloged them in sequence to prevent any misremembering or any other potential problems that came with a soul being torn apart. The system, with its ever-watchful eyes, made sure nothing was misplaced, no matter how small the likelihood of that happening was.

“MH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The sound of him taking a deep breath, as if he hadn’t breathed in years, could be heard as his eyes opened in sync, finding himself inside a very familiar room of his palace.

{Welcome back, sir. Empress Rina and your family have been informed and are on the way to see you,} Nova, ever vigilant when it came to matters related to Aron, was the first to be informed, having already discovered the change in his brain waves the moment he became conscious again. She had remained observing, a moment away from calling Ayaka should something wrong have happened or been seen in the data.

“How long have I been out for?” Aron asked, as his mind had now finally finished bringing him up to date with his latest memories, reminding him that they were in an active war with the Conclave when he went out. He was curious as to how long he had been gone and how they had dealt with his absence.

{Forty days, sir. That is how long you have been out,} Nova answered as a hologram with that number written on it appeared.

“How is the situation with the Conclave?” he asked in a hurry, knowing that forty-five days was a long time for the empire, which could travel anywhere so long as they had access to the absolute coordinates. It was enough time for plans to be implemented and either succeed or fail, and for the other side to have been able to do the same.

Before Nova could answer, the door to his room was kicked open as Rina, who had come flying after deeming walking to be too slow, came through, only a few seconds ahead of Henry, who also arrived just behind her. Twenty seconds later, his mother and father came with Rina’s parents, immediately crowding the room as one after another, they started drowning him in questions.

“Are you fine? I was debriefed on what happened. Why the heck would you do that?”

“If you do that again, I will take a soul piece myself, understood?”

“Why did you put yourself in that position when you have capable subordinates?”

“You are the Emperor. You should keep that in mind when you act.”

“I’m glad you look fine………..”

“………………………………….”

“……………………………”

“………………………”

“…………………”

Questions, statements of worry, reprimands for what he did, hugs, tears—the room was a buffet of all those emotions and more as each member of the family expressed their concern in their own way. But the emotion in all of their eyes was the same: relief and happiness that he had finally woken up.

It took a whole hour before he could fully appease all of those in the room and was able to convince them to give him some time alone. They did so begrudgingly before Aron could finally be alone with Nova. He immediately lay down once again as the medpod door closed and logged him into the VR. When he opened his eyes, he found himself inside the situation room with all the officials who were in the initial situation room present to welcome him. They were ready to answer any questions or explain their reasoning for why they took certain decisions, and more as the Emperor was provided with an update on the situation.

Having already been briefed about his condition and full recovery, none of those in the room pestered him like his family did. The most they did was express their happiness that he had managed to heal without any problems and had returned in full health, before they immediately got to work.

{The Conclave is no more, as we are currently in control of all the previous Conclave civilizations, including subordinate civilizations, barring ten civilizations from the eleven top-ten civilizations, who are now all acting under a single directive,} Nova said as she started her debriefing. The room dissolved, and everyone in it found themselves hovering in space with miniature star systems appearing in the same positions as their real-world counterparts in a part of the galaxy that everyone had nearly memorized.

A golden color started spreading, covering nearly all of the star systems around them, leaving a few of them in comparison that were at the center of the whole map. It was the only unconquered part of the Conclave that remained, with everything in its surroundings being fully and completely taken over.

{Due to their significance and expected complications upon facing them, we had elected to focus on taking control of the other civilizations, buying time until your recovery was complete before we made any move upon them. As a result, we are currently in control of thirteen thousand, four hundred and seventy-three star systems that are under the administration and control of both our imperial forces and imperial citizens, who are responsible for miscellaneous things like dealing with rebellions and other insurgency movements in the captured star systems. To avoid making irreversible decisions in your absence, all of those who caused problems, barring those who could only be neutralized by lethal force, are currently being held in prisons, with the total number of prisoners totaling five billion people of different civilizations.}
