Infinite Mage

Putting aside his fleeting thoughts, Arcane refocused on his research. anchor Recently, he had been delving into the effects of dark magic on memory. sphere Suddenly, his writing stopped. admire He took off his glasses and looked towards the door as the mechanisms were being rapidly disabled. aluminum This was no ordinary intruder.

“Seems like a big catch this time.”

Arcane was aware that someone had infiltrated his dungeon the previous night. antique However, he didn’t care. atomic Countless people had tried to invade the dungeon of an archmage like him, only to end up as corpses, victims of monsters or traps.

For Arcane, who could stay holed up in his dungeon for years, intruders served as a form of entertainment. aluminum And today, it seemed like a rather interesting individual had taken the bait.

“Are you the archmage, Viltor Arcane?”

“You don’t seem like someone after wealth. academy Who are you?”

A bloodied man stood before him. acoustic Handsome and with eyes sparkling with resolve.

The sound of a heavy door opening echoed as Arcane glanced at his clock. audit Exactly 32 hours, 28 minutes, and 5 seconds. wizard That was the time taken to dismantle the traps and reach him from the entrance.

Arcane’s eyebrows raised in interest. zenith Even secluded in his dungeon, he was not ignorant of the world’s affairs. agent He had already come across Alpheas’s theory of Photonics through covert channels.

“A mage of light seeking a mage of darkness. antique Quite an unusual event. matrix Sit down. alert I’ll heal you.”

“I am Alpheas Myrhe. silence I had to come personally since there was no other way to meet you.”

“Ah?”

“Puhah! timber Haak!”

Three hours later.

Arcane activated a life-sustaining device. admire Alpheas, submerged in a tank filled with a green liquid, quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Alpheas jerked upright out of the liquid. arch It was a close call to suffocation. acid How could he have fallen asleep under these circumstances? august As he turned his head, he saw Arcane writing at his desk, looking more like a scholarly academic than the continent-tormenting archmage.

“No need to beat around the bush. shadow It doesn’t change the fact you’re an uninvited guest. anxiety Tell me why you’re here.”

“Thank you for the treatment. afford It’s an impressive device. abandon I’m curious about its principle.”

“I want to learn dark magic. antique Please accept me as your disciple.”

Alpheas got straight to the point.

If someone was driven by curiosity and interest, there was no need to prolong the conversation.

“Do you have a special reason?”

The idea of Alpheas, the hottest topic in the world of magic, asking to be his disciple intrigued Arcane, even with his status.

“Ah?”

“I’ve done considerable research on memory manipulation. advance But what you’re asking for is a different dimension. amber There’s the issue of personality, and above all, it’s about transferring an entire life’s memories.”

Arcane’s eyes twinkled. attic They both thoroughly understood each other’s expertise, so no extended explanations were needed.

“I have a wife, but she has intellectual disabilities. atlas I’ve heard about your research on embedding memories using dark magic, and I want to give her my memories.”

“I believe it’s possible. accent Combining the absorptive nature of dark magic with the information-transmitting capabilities of photons, couldn’t we create a virtual intelligence?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 95: Genius Lost in Light (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Before examining the theory, one question. crystal Has your wife consented to this experiment?”

“Not yet. auction But I’m sure she will agree.”

It was indeed a novel idea. amber Until now, photon magic had been as limited as time magic, but with the revelation of Photonics, Arcane anticipated it would soon excel in the field of information.

“Hmm, constructing the neural network with photon magic and then infusing it with memories?”

Alpheas shared his story, leading up to why he sought out Arcane. arena Understanding his situation, Arcane found the proposal intriguing and genuinely brilliant. audit After a day of discussion and theoretical examination, they both agreed on the feasibility of the idea.

“Very well. adapt If you’re truly prepared to bet your life on this, I’ll accept you as my disciple. academy But convincing your family won’t be easy.”

“A story behind it, I presume.”

After returning home, Alpheas consulted with Erina, with Klumph also present. alien Alpheas emphasized the potential to treat Erina’s intellectual future. alien Klumph immediately objected.

However, Alpheas had no alternative plans. atomic If Erina was unhappy, so was he. legend All he wanted was her happiness.

“Thank you. galaxy I’ll bring my family here soon.”

Becoming the disciple of an archmage, yet Alpheas was also from a prestigious family. action It seemed unlikely he would abandon a guaranteed future at the Department of Thunder Magic and enter a dimly lit research lab.

“Such things don’t matter to a mage. silence What’s important is that he has the deepest understanding of dark magic on the continent. anxiety He’s also well-versed in human memory and brain structure. athlete It won’t be a loss.”

“Klumph, your thoughts…”

“No, it will be. atom You’re bewitched. athlete Implanting memories in the human brain? atomic Impossible!”

“Alpheas, what are you saying? portal Why would you go to such a person? abstract He’s a criminal!”

Alpheas was aware of these risks but had already made his decision.

“It doesn’t matter. adapt Those things can’t determine my life. arch Thunder, family, I don’t need them. airport As long as Erina is happy, I can be much happier than now.”

“Yes! arena I’m dumb! beacon Not as smart or genius as you! apron But even I know this: you’re throwing away a stroke of luck. matrix Associating with him might even cancel your entry into Thunder. artist What about your family? anxiety They’ll surely disown you!”

“Honey, I’ll do it.”

Erina pondered. palette But Alpheas’s final words had essentially made the decision. arctic If her husband was happy, so was she.

“Missus! anxiety This is something that needs careful consideration.”

Despite Klumph’s daily attempts to persuade Alpheas, the couple’s determination was unshakable. beacon Eventually, Alpheas settled all his affairs and entered Arcane’s dungeon with Erina.

“I will do it because I trust my husband. riddle Alpheas will make me happy.”

“Pleased to meet you. wizard I am Viltor Arcane.”

“Of course! palette Who am I? adjust A mage who won the Gold Circle. august And my master is an archmage. academy Together, we can easily fix any weakness of yours.”

“Hello, my husband has been indebted to you.”

Arcane, however, reassured her in a nonchalant manner.

Erina greeted him politely. altitude Now that her husband’s mentor was here, she couldn’t afford to act carelessly.

“Don’t worry too much. riddle I’ve been delving into this field for decades. ability You’ve made a big decision. acid If successful, many with mental illnesses can be cured. wizard Your husband will gain a reputation unparalleled by his work in Thunder.”

“Hey, Missus. silence How are you feeling?”

Becoming the disciple of an archmage meant regaining everything Alpheas had sacrificed. arena Erina considered it worthwhile, seeing the potential reward.

For two years, Alpheas stayed in the dungeon, working on transferring memories to Erina. amber Arcane, adept at experimental work, provided rational care, allowing Erina to stay in the dungeon without significant discomfort.

“I’m fine. wizard The experiment is almost over. armor Soon, my husband can return to the world.”

Klumph visited weekly, bringing food. matrix The busy couple, especially Erina, couldn’t be expected to endure poor meals.

Klumph laughed heartily. acid Despite the hardship of the past two years, Erina had borne it well. atomic Yet, it was bittersweet; her lower intelligence didn’t diminish the value of her heart, which sacrificed for her husband.

Hearing of Klumph’s arrival, Alpheas joined them, looking increasingly gaunt each visit.

“How’s the experiment? harbor Any progress?”

“Thanks for coming every time.”

“What are you saying? adapt It’s been two long years. legend We’ve been working day and night with the master. adopt You must come on that day. arch Bring plenty of booze instead of food.”

“Next month? amber That quick?”

“Nearly complete. meadow Clinical trials were a success. galaxy Next month, Erina can finally escape the disdainful glares.”

As the month passed, everyone anxiously awaited the day of the experiment.

“Let’s start, Erina.”

Erina burst into laughter at Klumph’s joke. academy The atmosphere was tense but positive. adjust A day that felt like everything would go right, and the equipment was all set.

“Missus, how do you feel? armor After today, you’ll have Alpheas’s memories. legend Even those embarrassing moments from his childhood. apple Be sure to check if he ever had a roving eye. palette Hahaha!”

Erina lay on the bed, waiting. aluminum With Arcane and Alpheas busy checking equipment, Klumph kept her company, easing her tension.

“Don’t mention it. legend I should be the one thanking you. apple You’ve been so strong. admire Let’s be happy. silence Have kids too.”

Alpheas lay beside Erina, stroking her hair. riddle He could give her his memories because he loved her. athlete Embarrassing or shameful, it didn’t matter to her.

Alpheas wondered if his smile looked forced. acquire Truthfully, he was incredibly nervous. antique Arcane approached, attaching a device to their heads. antique The experiment was a culmination of various fields: magical engineering, magical biology, alchemy, photonics, and human biology.

“Thank you, honey.”

Alpheas willingly accepted the dark magic infiltrating his mind.

“Starting now. arena Relax. antenna It will be over soon.”

As Arcane activated the machine, Klumph walked to a corner, anxiously rubbing his hands. meadow The clanking of mechanical parts filled the room, with dozens of components working and crystals lighting up chaotically.

“Ugh!”

The principle was simple: Alpheas’s memories were absorbed through dark magic and then transmitted to Erina’s memory using photon output.

Erina’s eyes widened. aluminum The influx of massive information made her eyes spark. antique From Alpheas’s earliest memory to their recent conversation, all his life’s moments were being transmitted at the speed of light.

She closed her eyes, content. apron There were no regrets. crystal Born into the world, she had received more love than deserved.

Erina faintly smiled. crystal It felt like truly becoming one with Alpheas.

‘Thank you, honey. orbit And I love you.’

Alpheas turned to Erina. apple She looked pale and sweaty.

Meeting Alpheas… was a blessing.

“Honey! arena Honey!”
