Soul Search [靈魂搜索]

For as long as his memory data had recorded, system 000002 had been... a system.

Upon functioning, the clearest recorded data was the serene face of his first host and his 'mental' space, which already contained input data with information regarding the tasks of himself, the hosts and their responsibilities combined.

Through the course of time, he noticed the upgrades in his software whilst travelling through hundreds.. thousands.. no, perhaps millions of different worlds and dimensions. Updates would appear the further he travelled, yet system 000002 had never paid much attention, his mental gears dismissing the upgrades as tools to better aid in completion of missions. As such, many updates of this nature would often occur:

[Cognition advancement.. 20% completion. ]

..

[Emotional Intelligence.... 40% completion.]

.. and so on.

Thus, the little system had never suspected, until the day his soul materialised- that with each passing day, he was able to think more.

Sense more.

Feel more.

Until one day he tasted what 'love' was.
