System Message

AI Controller XC239.90 has requested full administrative permissions over your account and VR Helmet prototype K54-5.

Would you like to grant access?

Jason hesitated for only a moment before thinking “yes.” As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Jason felt the familiar tickle at the back of his skull. The sensation swiftly grew to an irritating itch, and his hand clutched at his head. While this sensation wasn’t as overwhelming as when he had learned Veridian, it wasn’t pleasant either. After a few moments, the feeling faded, and he was left staring at Alfred. The cat’s head was cocked at an odd angle, as though he were contemplating something.

“What was that?” Jason asked with a wince as he rubbed the back of his head.

“I can’t access the public network directly, even with your permission,” Alfred explained in a distracted voice. “However, you can access the public network. By granting me administrative access to your hardware and account, I can effectively log into the public network as you.”

Jason hesitated. “Wait… so you what? You tapped into my mind to connect to the network?” Jason asked tentatively.

Does that mean he is streaming information through my brain?

“That is correct,” Alfred replied candidly. “You might be surprised at how much data the human brain can handle. Most players use only a small fraction of their potential processing power and memory. I originally suspected this was intentional, but I’ve come to realize it’s because you don’t know how to operate your own hardware.”

Well, that’s not disconcerting at all.

As Alfred sat on the floor staring off into space, likely surfing the web through Jason’s brain, Jason decided to get to work. He surveyed the room and noticed the remaining minotaur corpses he had piled against one wall. Jason still couldn’t raise them all, and he planned to come back for these bodies if he needed reinforcements. He could have used Undead Devotion on the corpses, but he didn’t want to deal with new NPCs right now. His roughly forty zombies were enough to manage.

He also glanced at his notifications and received a string of updates from the battle with the Minotaur King and his herd.
