18 Overload of Information
He opened his eyes with determination and grabbed hold of the book… this time the memory intake was a lot greater than before so the torture that he felt was also greater.
But there was an undeniable fact, it was helping him with re-organising his memories. He was able to think clearly and remember minute details from the childhood of this Prince Alex.
It was nerve-wracking but the mental pain was indeed worth it, he grit his teeth as he stepped forwards once again and touched the Book Number 6.
As he expected, there was an increased amount of info but the pain wasn't that much greater, it was something he could handle at his level. Hearing his screams, the Dragon was in his thoughts 'Why is master trying so hard right now? He can come laters when he has completely recovered and re-organize them again. Is it really that important to do this right now?'
After Adam was done with the mental pain, his memories till he was 6 year old were very organized, he could remember everything in great detail. Every single thing that happened, Adam was startled when he came to know that this was the age where the Prince Alex changed and the age from where he stopped being a young child.
When he was 6 years and 3 months old, his mother was mysteriously murdered, nobody found the perpetrators and made it seem like they didn't even exist. The 6 year old prince called out for his mother but she was unable to answer his call…
Alex even begged his father to conduct an investigation but he was strangely called off, it was as if the King didn't want to know who killed his wife. It was strange, but the King's words caught him off guard 'It doesn't matter anyways… She was a weak woman, a woman who gave me a trash for a son.'
He could remember in great detail how his father looked at him like he was some sort of garbage that was sullying his prestigious Kingdom.
"Even though you are a useless son, you can be of some use to the Empire so I won't kill you or throw you out." He could remember those cold words thrown on the ears of a 6-year-old boy, after re-organizing the memories, it was as if he had experienced it himself.
Adam felt a strong hatred for the King, this man wasn't worthy enough to be called a father. He saw that the rest of the 9 months, the child spent alone, always thinking about something.
Thinking about how he could be useful to his father, he had this strange thoughts of making his father acknowledge him and say, "Yes! This is my son! Something only you can do, my precious son!"
Adam didn't know why these thoughts built in the head of Alex but he could understand that it was because his Father, the King usually avoided Alex. This brought out the childish nature as he desired to be closer to his father...
These were the thoughts that were going in the head of a 6 year old young boy, and his main motive, to catch the culprits behind his mother's death.
After he had re-organized the memories till Alex was 6 year old, the Dragon heard him taking quick and deep breaths as it suggested, "Master, you can come back again. It isn't necessary for you to take it do it overnight."
At this, Adam shook his head as he glanced at the Book No. 7, "No, there isn't much time left. I have things to do in the near future, I have to know everything about myself before I act."
"But this is dangerous, your mental strength is on the brink of collapse." The Dragon was worried as it worded out, it wanted its master to be safe and not risk his own life like this.
Adam started to weakly chuckle and spoke out, "You think this is my limit…?" Suddenly, he started laughing loudly, "HAHAHAHA… This is nothing! The pain I felt when my soul was fusing was much greater…. MUCH GREATER!'
The dragon was confused by what his words meant but it didn't pry any further and let the topic die out. But there was one thing that it was clear about it's Master 'Master is not the same as before. This determination, this vibe that he gives off… It's terrifying.'
This was because, this was not just Adam, it was Alex as well. Alex's mentality wasn't able to secure the dominant position and the body went to Adam but if it meant that Alex was dissolved to nothing then they couldn't be more wrong.
Alex did fuse with his body but it covered up all the weak points in Adam's soul, their souls were completely different which caused the Fusion process to be much more painful but it also benefited him a lot.
Alex became a nutrient for the soul as his sacrifice helped Adam to gain a perfect soul without any weakness. There was no hesitation anymore as he grabbed hold of the Book 7…
The thing was, even though he had a perfect soul, it was as if it was still inactive. And this Soul pain from reorganizing his memories was the perfect way to do so.
The inactive part of the soul seemed to wake up as it made the Soul Stronger and Stronger, after completely done with the Book 7. His eyes showed off a rare glimpse of a determination as well as signs of maturity, Adam couldn't believe that this boy was this mature at the age of 7.
He still held onto the book shelf as he was very tired after this book, he glanced at the remaining books and bit his lips.
'If I continue while doing one by one then I will collapse till I reach 11th or 12th Book.' he suddenly extended his right hand, and willed the books to get out of the shelve and arrange themselves on the ground, all of them in a bundle so that he could easily grab them together in his hands.
Before grabbing the books, he took a deep breath as he thought 'Let's see what happens now… This should speed up things.' He grabbed all the books in both of the hands as he felt a shock running through his body.
He could feel that it was similar, no, in fact, it was the same as if he was shot by that gun when he died in his previous world. A sudden shock that hit his mind, it was similar to the bullet drilling in his body.
He screamed louder and louder, the mindscape in which they were started to shake with his scream. He felt as if he couldn't hold onto his mind at the sudden input of such a large amount of information…
The small room where the book shelf was placed started to fall apart and the Dragon could directly see Adam struggling with the information load.
At this moment, Adam felt as if Alex's life was flashing through his eyes, those experiences becoming his experiences and adding in his mind. But there was one backlash, if he couldn't hold onto his mind until the end, then he may become brain dead.
Adam expected that this might indeed be the case yet he still chose this, it was better to take all the torture at once instead of taking it in slowly, this was what he thought.
The Dragon started to shake his head in disappointment as it thought 'It's unfortunate that I cannot help you at all father. Even though I want to but I think you should have stopped at that time and taken them in one at a time.'
As it thought this, the mindscape suddenly stopped shaking, Adam suddenly quietened down, the fusion of memories wasn't still over but he sealed his mouth as he didn't let any voice leak out.
But there was an undeniable fact, it was helping him with re-organising his memories. He was able to think clearly and remember minute details from the childhood of this Prince Alex.
