< Xeir’s POV >

  I’m a girl who has been reincarnated far too many times and I can’t even delete my own existence. In all honesty, I hate it. I can’t choose where I would be reincarnated and I can’t truly die.

  If anyone asked ‘Hey? Isn’t being pseudo immortal a good thing?’, then that person never actually considers the ‘boredom’ that comes along with that immortality. When you have lived for more than a century many patterns tend to repeat themselves and the first and second time something like that happens, it might be a novelty for experience. However, seeing it for a hundredth time? A thousandth time? You will get bored pretty fast.

  Some immortal things I met in the past reincarnations may have chosen to find a way to end themselves, and some decided to seal themselves in some caves or temples. But me? I can’t do that.

  When I tried to kill myself… well, you guessed it, new reincarnation. And more often than not, I would just die again pretty quickly and I would feel a lot of pain. But if I got super unlucky? I could become a rock… can’t do anything other than witnessing the end of the universe… If I remember correctly, I went insane from boredom, screaming endlessly where no one can hear me, and no one can help me…

  Sealing myself also doesn’t help much since I would ultimately be unsealed again, whether it would take thousands or millions of years for that.

  So, this time, while I’m also being a rock again, it was much better than the st time because I crashed on a pnet and even have an ability to manipute psychic energy at will as well.

  Oh? You asked ‘If what I said is true, am I not insane?’ Good question! Due to my genius in some of the iteration, I wrote a macro into the console to store all my finished iteration into a form of text and shove it somewhere else while removing any memories inside my brain, resetting me back to my ‘Default State’. That’s why I can still act like me whether I was a hundred or a million years old! All for the sake of not being bored!

  Soo… with what I yapped about immortality finished, what does it have to do with the situation I was facing right now?

  Well, lo and behold! It’s the end of the world! What’s in front of me is a gigantic chasm deep far below into the pnet and deep enough I can see faint glow from the mantle yer! I hadn’t sent my ‘Camera’ down there though so I can’t really check if the crack was deep enough to reach the core.

  Probably not…?

  Ahem! Well, speaking of the ndscape around itself, if I was just a normal living being, I’d say it’s already hell and looks like an extinction level of disaster… no, not looks like, it really is! Considering this pnet got hit by a meteor rge enough to render everything into va, and that meteor is me!

  No, I didn’t talk about how I hit this pnet and destroyed life, the pnet itself is cracking and dissolving! If you look at the sky right now with that gigantic gas giant pnet on top of your head, you’d see there is a small trail of rocky debris floating upward. Now with this giant chasm I’m standing above, it’s evident enough that if no interference was made, the pnet will be ripped apart and pulled into that gas giant!

  Damn it, what an eventful reincarnation!

  To make the matter worse, I tried to use my psychic energy and pull the nds closer together but the only thing I can manipute right now is the nd I’m standing on. So, I guess my control isn’t that far? Or is limited to this piece of nd. That also answered my specution for fun about if I am able to control the entire pnet or not. And the answer is that I can’t. Or at least I am limited right now.

  Seriously, what kind of being am I?

  Okay, so, if the pnet is ending, why does it matter for me? As you can see, I don’t eat, drink, or have a need for anything to sustain my life and I definitely can survive in space. So what’s the matter?

  Well, the thing is, yeah, I probably won’t die if the pnet cracked but could end up getting slingshot into outer space in pieces and wandering for who knows how long in vacuum alone. That’s fate worse than death for me. If I was lucky and died, probably by being dissolved into the gas giant, I still can’t guarantee I would get a better reincarnation than now! Since I just began to enjoy this iteration a bit, I just can’t let it end before I see it all!

  If this is a game, you’d see me trying to get every single achievement before throwing it away. If I really enjoy it, well, I’d probably continue pying it.

  Oh hey, dear observers, you think that I might be able to assimite myself with the gas giant’s core, theoretically, since I seem to have already assimited parts of this pnet already? Guys, have you ever fallen into a gas giant? Regardless of the probability of you being struck by lightning far stronger than Earth’s and be reduced to nothingness in no time, or be shred to pieces by extremely high wind, the condensation of metallic gas due to pressure that made them into liquid will definitely overpower my rock materials. And since I have no way to make sure of it now, like hell I’d let it happen!

  I mean, on this pnet alone, as I just found out that I can assimite pnetary mass, I’m not confident I can assimite the entire pnet.

  Bluntly speaking, I have no idea how I did it, how it works, or how far this ability can go.

  Right now, we’ve established that I don’t want this pnet to crack, yeah? So… how do I fix this issue? It was… ugh, the scale of the problem and ability I have seems to be so far apart I can’t begin to wrap my head around it. So, I decided to command my humanoid self to walk around the crumbling edge and try to think of what I should do in this situation.

  The edge of the chiasm is basically a waterfall made of va at the scale unprecedented by anything on Earth. Hmm since it’s va that’s falling, let’s just call it vafall. There are some pces that are now overflowing with va as well so I’m now certain that the entire pnet was not turned into a sea of va and just the surface.

  Trying to look further ahead… huh? It seems like the other side has less va than this side?

  With my curiosity pique, I created another viewpoint above where my humanoid body is standing and floating above it, trying to get a better view. And indeed, the other side of the chasm wasn’t entirely covered in va! What gives?

  Since I can’t spawn my viewpoint on that side, I slowly float the viewpoint I just created toward it. When the viewpoint reached about a 100 meters away, it began to dim and fuzzy with noises like a television with poor reception. Not long after, the image I received just got completely cut off and disappeared. Rather, the feeling of my viewpoint existing was just gone and I feel a tinge or pricking in my hypothetical mind. I tried to command the viewpoint back to this side just in case and as I thought, there is nothing.

  With this new discovery, I began to seriously survey and map out the surrounding area in earnest. I feel a bit stupid for not doing that the first thing when I’m in a new or strange pce even though that was usually what I do when I’m at least somewhere in the animal kingdom.

  But hey, can you bme me? This is the first time I’m being something this weird like a psychic rock in space that assimites pnetary mass! I was a bit distracted by my immediate surroundings and the sky phenomena, okay!?

  After creating as many viewpoints as my brain could possibly process and adjust the images like screens in a security room, I also tried a map command, [map].

  >Map

  >Error: No prior data input

  … This damn thing really needs user input every time, huh… Also, I put the wrong command in there. It was supposed to be f.map, a macro I wrote to make mapping easier.

  >Debug f.Map Enable

  >Map_Create “DynamicMap”

  >Map DynamicMap Created Successfully

  >Map DynamicMap is now set as default map

  >Map_Anchor Local

  >Map_Data_Collect DynamicMap Sight

  >Map DynamicMap data collection method set to Sight, detected 20

  >Map_Representation DynamicMap 3D

  >Map DynamicMap representation set to 3D visualization

  >Map_Show DynamicMap

  >Map_Center Xeir

  This macro created a new map, which I auto-named it as DynamicMap since I will use it like what you would see on RTS games where you control various units on the map. There is also a thing called Fog of War where only the parts of the map you have discovered are seen and other parts are now shown.

  For this map though, it will show what I saw with my sights, which are 20 according to the log, in real time and collectively projected on the 3D map I can turn on and off any time. However, the pce I do not actively see it will be dimmed, but not deleted.

  If one of those areas has any changes on it like a volcano eruption, it will not change on the map unless I actively see it again.

  I have to put an anchor on local, meaning, this pnet, as well, because the map will just collect data in the space where this pnet passed through as well and is mostly useless data. If that data gets visualized… well, imagine your RTS map getting shot out of the screen and you have to scroll toward it to catch up. It’s painful and your map is ruined.

  Once the macro was successfully executed, I saw a visualization of the nd surrounding my … epicenter? Well, where I nded, I presumed, since the map was showing a sea of va as its center.

  I tried spawning and waving my gigantic hand and, yup, that’s where I am.

  After surveying for a while… I found out that the ndmass I was on is really the only pce entirely covered by va. The other pces showed signs of cooling down a lot faster than here even if they still have some extreme volcanic activities.

  This confirms that at the very least, my presence here should be, in some way, interfering with the tectonic ptes.

  … OR I was thinking too much and this pce is the hottest pce on this pnet because I happened to nd on it.

  … Well, I’ll see about that once things calm down more.

  Now with a proper map, I can see clearly where the cracks are. But, what should I do next? If I let them be, they will probably get sucked into that gas giant in … probably some years in the future, but the pnet will be gone regardless.

  … Hmmm… oh?

  I just got an idea! What if… like suturing wounds for healing, I ‘suture’ the pnet by connecting the ptes that are drifting away together? Alright! I decre Operation Pnet Suture commenced!

  Pew! Pew!

  I immediately shot my gigantic arms out of the sides of the chasm toward the other side but… when I reached about one-third of the chasm, the arms dissolved and fell off into the fiery abyss, much like what happened to the viewpoint I sent over.

  Ugh… That didn’t work…

  I was trying that again for good measure and it still didn’t work. No matter what shape, it still didn’t work.

  Frustrated, I decided to grab my humanoid body and throw her across the chasm. Expecting her to cut off like a doll midway.

  “...Hmm? Wha—”

  However, that didn’t happen, and my humanoid body successfully crossed the chasm without being cut off. However, due to the gravity, I still spshed on the ground anyway. At that moment, I could still feel a connection to the spshed body for a while before it was gone in about a minute.

  This… is a new discovery!

  It seems like any materials that were already under my… let’s call it a domain since calling everything I assimited my body sounds weird… Any materials under my domain still have a lingering connection to me even if it was destroyed!

  So, what if it wasn’t destroyed?

  I created another body and put my new POV camera inside it, making it morph into my body once again and this time, I made a cage of sorts to protect me from the fall. Then, I threw myself to the other side once again.

  The cage was destroyed as expected but my body survived! And greater news, the connection wasn’t severed! Yay!

  … That still didn’t answer how I would stitch the nds up, though, so my excitement defted quickly.

  I was sprawling on the nd for a while, trying to control the rocks, but the result is quite unsatisfactory since only some small rocks are floating, not the entire nd or something, meaning my psychic ability on my humanoid body is weak…

  Sigh… I thought I could cheat it by controlling the entire tectonic pte to hit my domain… I wonder how my species works…

  Guh, could Operation Pnet Suture be impossible, after all?

  … Now that I think about it, normally, suturing didn’t have an entire needle connecting the wounds, right? Rather, the needle was only used to lead the wire and stitch wounds close.

  So, when I pondered about the operation for a bit, I got a new idea.

  I tried making a va pilr once again but this time, I used my psychic energy to forcefully compress the materials together in the shape of a giant needle and left it to cool down for a while. The result is a giant needle made of bck and smooth rock!

  I then created a long and thick wire of va, then attached it to the base of the needle. However, before it cooled down completely, I broke the needle out of the va sea and used my gigantic arm to throw it toward the crack!

  Puk!

  The giant needle successfully pierced through the nd without breaking, and connecting the two tectonic ptes.

  Operation Pnet Suture has now started in earnest.
