《The Mad Scientist's Wife》 Prologue Himalyan Mountain Range A hidden Secret Lab An old man is sitting in a chair, so old he might as well be a skeleton. He is working on a young headless, female body. Wait, that¡¯s a robot, with its head removed and wires connecting it to a crystal core, glowing with varying, moving colors, suspended inside a negative field in an isolated chamber.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. ¡°Ha ha, after spending a full centuries, at last I will have a wife.¡± the man says. ¡°Sir, the field is scattering. Core implosion is imminent.¡± A smooth, feminine voice speaks in the man¡¯s mind. ¡°What!?? It cannot be! All the calculations were triply checked and cross checked! Emi, stabilize the field! Immediately!¡± the old man roars. ¡°I cannot stabilize the field. You must eva¡ª¡° Emi was saying as suddenly, the core imploded, taking with it the whole lab and then exploding and destroying the mountain it was on. Chapter 1: The start Quennor Empire Capital Lightheart Mansion The five year old Jace Lightheart was lying on top of his bed. He is an adorable young boy with green eyes, trademark of his family. His eyes are a light green colour with some golden bits in them, inherited from his mother. His hair are also green, albeit a darker shade, with some intemittent golden locks. Right now, he was talking to himself. ¡°So, you say your name is Emi?¡± Correction, talking to a smooth, feminine voice in his head. ¡°Yes, sir, my name is Emi, created by you to assist in the creation of your wife.¡±-Emi This started in the morning when he suddenly started hearing a voice in his head. Since he was still a small child, he didn''t even think he might be going mad or something and accepted it as it is. The voice said that her name is Emi and he was the one who made her. This naturally confused him as he was only 5 years old. ¡°How could I have created you? ¡±-Jace ¡°Sir, if what I think is correct, then the dreams which you got since 2 years ago were the memories of your previous life. I had awoken by then and, since I had lost all my memories, I didn''t know which nerve groups to manipulate to talk to you. Since I couldn''t do anything else, I started to soak up all the knowledge contained in your dreams. It was just last night that all memories ended so I tried to talk to you today.¡±-Emi ¡°Wait, you were there in my mind since then? And what are nerve groups?¡±-Jace ¡°Sir, you might not understand anything that I tell you right now, so instead, I will show your previous memories to you. With that you will understand everything I am saying right now."-EmiSupport the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. "Okay. When will you show them to me?¡±-Jace ¡°Sir, It will take a few hours to translate the language and make the required narration to understand it better. How about I show them in your next sleep?¡±-Emi ¡°Okay.¡±-Jace
A vague world A young boy was sitting with an older man who was talking to beautiful woman and a lawyer. ¡°Half of your property is mine. I want my property. I am even giving you my son.¡± ¡°No. All this was gained by the blood and sweat of my father and me. And what you are doing isn¡¯t giving but disposing. You have no right to call yourself his mother.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, if I may. Sir, According to the law, she was your wife. And now that you are getting a divorce, half of your property belongs to her.¡± The young boy was now in college. He wasn¡¯t some superstar material but was definitely above average. Excellent academic score, above average in everything else. Now in college, the trend continues. Only difference may be his girlfriend. Top-notch beauty, hottest in his batch and the whole college. Last semester of college, the boy found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him. ¡°Do you think there is any match between us? Ha!¡± ¡°How could you do this? I thought we had something.¡± ¡°pfft- you and me? I was only using you as my wallet and answer sheet. Do you think you can compare to my boyfriend?¡± The boy didn¡¯t know what to do and ran away. The boy was now sitting in front of his father¡¯s grave. ¡°Ha Ha Ha. Like father like son. You were betrayed by mom, I am betrayed by my girlfriend. Ha Ha Ha.¡± Just then another person nearby overheard what he said. ¡°You too? Ha Ha. All girls are like this. Traitors. Forget about her man.¡± The boy remained silent. Then he sees siri on his iphone and gets an idea. ¡°If there is no loyal girl in this world, then I just have to make one.¡± The boy was now a young adult. He spent all his assets on gaining the best knowledge and equipment. At 40 years he made his first human level AI. At 50, he found that he alone was insufficient and made Emi to help him. All his research propelled the world forward by a few centuries. When he was 130 years old, he started his final experiment in The himalayan lab. But some error destabilized the negative field and he died. Jace woke up and said,¡±My life really wasn¡¯t much, huh? I was really emotional at that time. But why didn¡¯t I think about my decision after that? Not every woman is same. My mother is a prime example of that. I have decided, in this life, I will definitely find true love.¡± A knock sounds on his door,¡±Young Master, breakfast is ready. Please come to the dining room.¡± ¡°Coming¡±, replies Jace. Chapter 2: Mana Rotation Quennor Empire Lightheart Mansion In the dining room, Jace sees his parents, both commanding their personal attendant on routine matters. His parents are really important people of the Quennor Empire. His father is the Prime Minister and mother is a member of the minister council as the Finance Minister. His father is a middle aged man with green hair and eyes like Jace but a darker shade and with intermittent blue locks insted instead of gold. His mother is a middle aged beauty with dark golden hair and eyes. After those tasks are done, they start eating. After breakfast is done, his father, George Lightheart, says, ¡±Jace you are almost 6 years old. In 3 months, it will be time for academy admissions. You need to prepare well and enter the academy. You must continue our family tradition. We have always been in the top 3 graduates of the academy.¡± There are a lot of academies in the Quennor Empire, but The Academy is the most prestigious institute of the Quennor Empire where all of the most talented children gather.They teach in whatever you are good. The second dean had even said-"If you have the passion to be a sweeper, we will make you the sweeper of the world." ¡°Oh father, I will, definitely. But, what do I need to prepare?¡±-Jace replies. ¡°Ha ha, that¡¯s my son, full confidence in himself.¡±- George says, while calling Ron, the house butler. ¡°Ron, I want you to instruct Jace on everything he needs to know for the admission exam in these 3 months.¡±-George. ¡°Yes, sire.¡±-Ron. Ron and Jace are in the library with Ron instructing Jace on the exam matter. Even though, Ron is just the butler of the Lightheart mansion, but he is also an academy graduate, albeit just an average one. ¡°Young Master, the test does not have a syllabus, per se. Instead it is more focused on the problem solving and analytical thinking part with some focus on your personality. Here are some of the question papers from previous exams.¡± After reading, the papers, Jace realized that the questions are very much similar to the mental ability and psychometric questions on earth. ¡°Hey Emi, what do you think of these question?¡± -Jace. ¡°They are at the level 6-7 year olds, not too difficult.¡±, replied Emi in his mind. ¡°Then can you help me in this exam?¡±-Jace. ¡°I would recommend that you try to clear the exam on your own, but I can still help in preparing you.¡±-Emi. ¡°Thanks.¡±-Jace. ¡°Young Master, this will be the exam, along with a very basic physical test, just that you don¡¯t have a serious disease or stuff. Other than that, you should also try to learn some mana rotation. Even though it isn¡¯t a part of the exam, it will be better to learn it before joining the academy.¡±-Ron. ¡°Mana rotation?¡±- Jace. Mana rotation is a thing which every person of the empire knows to some degree. It is said that at high enough levels of mana rotation, one can flatten mountains with a sneeze and evaporate seas with a fart. ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go to the trating wall for that.¡±-Ron.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. So, Ron and Jace go to the training hall. Lightheart mansion Training Hall Ron and Jace are in the training hall. It is used by the family members and servants for training mana rotation and related things, like martial arts and spells. They go in one of the better rooms along with a doctor. ¡°Ron, why do we need a doctor?¡±-Jace ¡°Young master, mana rotation can be dangerous for starters so this is just a precaution.¡±-Ron ¡°Young master, for practicing mana rotation, the first thing is to take a comfortable pose. Then, you have to concentrate on your left shoulder. You will sense a kind of dirt in some kind of channel. The dirt is mana and the channels are the mana veins. After that, you will try to will it to move to your left hand, then left foot, right foot, right hand, right shoulder, then your head, complete the circle and keep on going. You have to be careful never to stop your mana after starting and never to increase the speed very much. Stopping rotating mana or making it rotate n the other direction will be very bad. At best, you will be faint, normally, you will die, at worst, you will just become a vegetable. On the other hand, increasing the speed willlet you feel a lot of pleasure but your body will be severely damaged. You can even be bedridden for a few months.¡±-Ron Jace nodded and sat on the floor in his most comfortable pose, which was very like the Buddhist monks on earth. Then he started concentrating on his left shoulder. After what felt like an eternity, he finally sensed a kind of dirt in his shoulder. ¡°Sir, there is a new, alien feeling in your shoulder. I think that¡¯s mana.¡±-Emi Jace then starts to move the energy to his left hand. During this, Emi keeps on studying mana and mapping the veins. Sometimes, the mana hits the walls of the veins, which caused some pain for Jace. After a full circle, Emi fully mapped the veins and started influencing Jace¡¯s subconscious to move the mana more comfortably. Meanwhile, Ron was watching Jace practicing mana rotation. He sees that after almost half an hour, there is a change in expression. After that, there are expressions of feeling pain at intervals of a few moments. ¡°Young master took almost double the time of most other kids to sense his mana and it seems like he also cannot effectively control his mana instinctively. Seems like this generation will be demoted from the post of prime minister.¡±-Ron. But after some 10 minutes, he sees that Jace¡¯s expression is now better than before and he seems to be enjoying it. ¡°Looks like Young master is the type to learn quickly from experience.¡±-Ron thinks After Emi started correcting his mana flow, the mana in the veins flowed more smoothly and hit the walls less. As Jace''s experience grew, he started to increase the speed. As the speed increased, he also started feeling more good, more powerful. At some point, Jace felt almost euphoric. It was also the point when his body couldn¡¯t take the stress of the increased speed anymore and started tearing apart. ¡°Shit! Young master, slow the speed. You are hurting yourself!¡±-Ron screamed. But Jace couldn''t hear him as he was totally absorbed in relishing the euphoria he was in. It wasn''t that he was he enjoying the pain he was in but that he couldn''t feel the pain at all. Emi who was helping him smoothen out his rotation suddenly noticed his blood pressure dropping. She tried to check his body and found that his whole body was sending his brain pain signals but he wasn¡¯t able to receive them. ¡°Sir, your body is destroying itself. You need to slow down.¡±-she kept on saying in his head while herself reducing the speed. When the speed got at a manageable point, his body stopped tearing and instead with the help of his mana started mending itself back. This process was so painful that he fainted but Emi continued the process. Ron was somewhat shocked at seeing this, as normally when kids get to the point he was at, the only outcome is that they pass out when the pain gets way beyond them and the body stops the mana rotation instinctively. Then it usually takes a few months to back to themselves with normal methods. But his young master not only increased the speed to that point but also came back on his own. ¡°Seems like the prime minister will still be from this family.¡±-Ron. If you think that Ron was plotting something against the family, then you are wrong. It¡¯s just that the position of prime minister has been in this family for almost 10 generations already so everyone is thinking, ¡®when will their streak end?¡¯ Meanwhile Emi was in the confines of Jace''s mind and could not anything other than think of what happened. How did I let this happen? In the previous life, something like this had never happened. I was always able to take care of all the matters simultaneously. If only I had been cautious, sir wouldn''t have gone through this. ... When did I start talking to myself? And when I started having emotons? And when did I started asking questions to myself? Chapter 3: The Exam(Part 1) Lightheart Mansion Infirmary When Jace woke up, he found that he was in the infirmary and his whole body was bandaged. ¡°What happened?¡±-Jace ¡°When we reduced the speed, all the pain came back to you and overloaded your brain, due to which you passed out. As I am a separate entity that is still a part of your brain, when you passed out, I was only conscious for long enough to stabilize the rotation at a stable speed. I am very sorry, sir, for not keeping a constant eye on your vitals and letting you fall in this situation.¡±-Emi "Don''t worry, Emi. Everyone makes errors. Do you know for how long I was out."-Jace "No sir. I only woke up a few minutes ago."-Emi Just then, a nurse enters and sees Jace sitting on his bed. She was very much like a nurse you would expect to see in an anime with all pink clothing and right curves at the right places. Not that Jace would care about such a thing as he is just a 5, soon to be 6, year old. ¡°Doctor! Young master is awake!¡±-She shouts in the corridor and then comes back to check on him. ¡°Young master, do you feel any pain anywhere?"-Nurse "Just a mild ache everywhere. It isn''t serious. For how was I out?"-Jace "A little over 3 days, Young master."-Nurse "3 days!? Was it really that serious?"-Jace "Actually Young master, since you had controlled your mana rotation to a comfortable speed, you hadn''t really suffered a lot. It was mainly the shock."-Nurse Then the doctor enters the room. He is an old man with white hair. Someone you would expect to have a lot of experience.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "Young master, open your mouth wide."-Doctor says and Jace complies. After some poking and looking with Jace coughing everytime the doctor pokes a bit too deep, the doctor says,"Everything seems okay here. Young master, do you feel like vomiting or something?" "Yes, now."-Jays says and turns his head over the bed to vomit. After getting everything out, he turns to face the doctor and before he could think of saying anything else, his stomach started roaring like there were dinosaurs in it. "What is this!? I am going to die! Save me!"-Jace screams in his head. As the heir of the lightheart family, he never had to go hungry for even a few hours. Even though he had his memories from the previous life, he still didn''t really have any experience with this. "Nurse, what are you doing!? Get something to eat for Young master! Now!"-Doctor says and nurse runs aways. 3 months pass In these 3 months, Jace had been studying for the exam with Ron and Emi and training his mana rotation. Now he could effectively keep on rotating hs mana without Emi''s help. Today was the day of the exam. Early morning, he had gotten into his family''s carriage and was now going to the exam centre. The exam center was the big dome used to organise various events in the cultural region of the capital. The capital was designed very carefully from start with the city divided into different sectors which are the industrial sector, market sector, residential area, cultural region and the innermost region for the aristrocacy with the monarch castle located there. The carriage was parked in the parking area and jace went to one of the registration desks and waited in line to register for the exam. In the Quennor Empire, there are no rights given to the family of aristocracy. Everything is gained by ability and no one goes against it as it is a big part of the ideological education. In the Quennor Empire, if you have the ability then you can even become the monarch, no matter if you are a noble or a commoner. This law was passed by the first monarch, the prognitor of the Lionmane family. He had also made sure that his family would always be the best so that no one can replace them. Jace''s family, the Lightheart family was their right hand family and had been the family of prime ministers since then. In every generation, there is a change in the status of the aristocracy. some family are demoted, others are promoted, some commoners gain the title of nobility, some nobles become commoners. But it was only the lionmane family and Lightheart family that have secured their position for ten generations. Everyone is thinking now,"When will they change?" After registering, Jace then went inside the hall and sat on a seat. Their were some people who were there to make sure that no one cheated. They were the senior students of the academy with one teacher. After everyone was seated, the question papers and answer sheets were distributed and the rules were explained.The rules were simple like no one was to cheat in the exam, the time for exam is at maximum, 2 hours long and no one was allowed to go out before completing the exam. At 10 AM sharp, the teacher of the academy said,"Exam starts now!" Chapter 4: The Exam (part 2) The Big Dome Cultural Sector Quennor Empire At 10 AM sharp, the teacher of the academy said,"Exam starts now!" Since,Jace had practiced a lot with Emi, he had no dificulty in answering the mental ability based questions of the paper. Only the psychometric part took some time as he had his previous memories and knew that he should somewhat think about the choices given to him. For the other children, it was the opposite as they took time in mental ability and followed their emotions in the psychometric part. Just when the exam ended, Jace stood up and tore the question paper, then with a big smile, he went towards his carriage and rode his way home. Meanwhile, in the exam centre, everyone was dumbstruck as to why the son of the prime minister tore his question paper. "Was it really so difficult?" "Was he really that frustrated by it?" "Did studying a lot for the paper affect his mental faculties in some way" - Thought everyone present in The Big Dome. Lightheart Mansion Capital At home, his parents questioned Jace about the paper, specifically, his actions at the end.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. "Why did you tear up the question paper, son? Was it that difficult, or did you have some previous animosity with it?"-George Lightheart,His father. "Did someone tell you to do it,Jace?"- Tabitha,His mother. "No,dad.I just felt like doing it. Did I do something wrong?"- asked Jace with a troubled face. "No,son. No one usually does it, and it doesn''t suit your image as my son."-George "Okay, Dad. I won''t do it again." - Jace. "Good, as long as you know it. Let''s eat something."-Tabitha. After 10 days, the result was out. The academy did not release any kind of ranking for the students. They only told if the participant passed or failed and of course Jace passed the exam. "Good, son, the session will start after a month. Get ready for it. You must not let our family name fall."-George "Yes, father. I will try my best."-Jace In this 1 month, Jace studied everything he could with Emi, be it the knowledge of his previous world or current one. When it was time for him to go, he found that he wasn''t going in his own carriage but instead another one was waiting for him., and this carriage belonged to the Monarch''s family ''The Lionmane Family'', which was evident from the emblem of the Monarch, a roaring lion. When Jace questioned his parents about the carriage in front of the Mansion, they replied,"The Monarch''s son is at your age and has also joined the academy. Since our families are friends, we thought, why not send both of you to The Academy together,so that you can bond on the way." From the carriage, a sound comes - "Come on,now.Be quick.I''m getting bored here." That was the Monarch''s son,Lorenzo Lionmane. The End: Conclusion Jace and Lorenzo are on the way to academy. Jace finds out that Lorenzo is an innate fanny magnet and wonders if something was wrong and his cheat went to him. Then in a town along the way, Jace is walking alone. He encounters some thugs who kidnap him and try to sell him as a slave. At the last moment, his guard entourage arrives and saves him. They tracked him using his ring which was actually a tracker. Jace is a little bit in shock and thinks of ways to prevent somthing like this from happening again. In the academy, J&L(Jace and Lorenzo) are given the same room in the dorms. The next day is a new student meeting party kind of thing. There, J&L find a girl (girl #1) standing in a corner. They go and talk to her. The girl #1 is at first somewhat attracted to Lorenzo but then manages to get her head straight and talk to Jace. Jace''s mouth hangs open as she was the first girl who actually talked to her when Lorenzo was around. They talk and the three become good friends. Just then, Jace turns around and sees a girl (girl #2) entering. Even though, the girl #2 is just 6 years old like them, she absolutely blows his mind away. Just when he is about to go greet her, he remembers something and turns to lorenzo. He begs him to not appear in front of her and go somewhere else. Lorenzo is confused but does it. So Jace goes and meets the girl. They talk and play and walk and eat, etc (End of Thinking Capacity). Then the night is over. Next day is the start of their classes. The first 3 years are basic so everyone has the same course. J&L and girl #1 are in same section while girl #2 is in a different section. Jace always goes to girl #2 to talk to her when he has free time. He is totally enamored of her. One night, when Jace is studying in his dorm room, he sees that candle lights aren''t really that good, so he thinks of making theconvenience he had in his previous life. The first thing he needs is electricity and a generator for that. When Jace finally makes it and switches it on, his mana in his body goes haywire and after somehow turning it off, he and Emi come to know that mana and electricity are inter-related and influence each other. Due to this, normal wires and generators cannot be used. But Jace and Emi somehow find out how to use mana in place of electricty, and vice-versa. So, batteries can be used to power spells and mana can create a network like the interner, which Jace names mana net. The relationship of Jace and girl #2 progress forward, and they start dating. Since, Jace is a reincarnated person and had read a lot of novels before he started his research, he knows that Lorenzo, who now is a total playboy, is the stepping stone antagonist material. He knows that he cannot stop him so he tells him to tell him everything he does and ask for his permission first. In the meanwhile, Jace also completes the mana net. He becomes its owner, while Lorenzo and girl #1, who helped a lot, become the admistrators. He releases the mana net for public use, where anyone can find aything they want on the net. Jace also uses it as a way to get into their brains and effectively control them. He did not really have any ulterior motives. He could so he did.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Even though, he totally trust girl #2 but due to his previous life trauma, he uses the net to spy on her. He finds out that she was cheating on him. In his rage, he twists the mind of the girl and the boy she was cheating on him with. But Emi stops him from doing the same toboth their families and become sane again. He apologises to Emi for his deed and cries on his bed till the next day, when Lorenzo and girl #1 come to meet him. They see the tear marks on his face and ask him what happened. He says nothing and goes to wash his face. After some years, It was time for their graduation, and the monarch exam. The aristocracy is based on ability and so is the monarch. Jace just filled in the paper like usual and goes to his room. He did not have any thoughts on becoming the monarch and would be more than happy to be just the prime minister. But, somehow, he tops the exam with Lorenzo coming second, just 1 point less. He says that he does not want to be the monarch. But the people say that the law cannot be broken, so he gives his first and last order as the monarch which was to make Lorenzo the monarch. Everyone is stunned but they follow his order. Lorenzo thanks him and goes to complete the ceremony. Everything goes as usual. Jace releases some satellites to get to know the planet and he sees that al the land mass is concentrated on one side with the other side being totally water with a small crystal island in the center. He goes to investigate it and girl #1, who became the principal of the academy, comes with him. They find that the crystals were mana crystals, solidified mana which was slowly leaking into the atmosphere. Jace had always wondered, as to from where did the mana come from. He investigates the island more and finds a broken machine. Jace, Emi and girl #1 disassemble it and study it. They find that the machine turned energy into a different kind of particle which was mana. They repair the machine and install it back. Without this repair, all the mana in the world would have been depleted in a hundred years. When they go back, Lorenzo tells him that he raped a village girl when he went there without asking for Jace''s permission first. All the blood leaves his face and he hurries to connect to the net and investigate the girl and all her connections. There wasn''t anything special but Jace found that the girl had a total siscon brother. The brother was a waste. But when he investigated the brother, he found clear signs of an MC''s hegemony aura activating on him. Cold sweat starts flowing on his forehead, before he calms down and kills him the same way he did with girl #2. Then he goes to Lorenzo and totally beats him up. After sometime, when he is in his mid 30''s, I don''t know what but it is done by Emi, but something happens and he comes to know that he is in love with girl #1 and she too is with him. They marry and live happily ever after. Meanwhile in the background, Emi says that seeing her love being happy is best thing she could ask for.
