《Cosmic Progenitor》Chapter 6- Exploration
Advertisement
This is simply amazing. For after all my hard work finally I have something completely new. For my hope in this cell lies in the fact that it does not have a purpose designed directly towards the elements. So far it has moved at an extremely slow pace but with no reason. With this in mind it is time to decide a new path for my next round of experimentation. Of course it centers around the cell but to what end?
To get to what is coming I need to use what is. As of now its state of being is lackluster and wasting much potential. So what needs to happen is to have it grow. To make that happen is of course unknown. The good part of this comes from the fact since I have created it is that I can therefore create more of them. I have a few ideas of what I could do. Some of them are putting them in different degrees of all the elements, putting them in groups, leaving them alone, manipulating with the cells, and observing cells that are created without interference. The last idea is my personal favorite because it has the cells created in its prefered environment and in the best way. The downside of this is that I will have to find them and as they are tiny, it will be annoying. Also it will most likely take some time for this to happen because of the difficulty of a new cells creation.
The good thing is that I can do all of them at once. So I created some cells and put them in isolated environments of all the elements, including lightning, with multiple batches of both individual and grouped cells. I leave them alone with some of my consciousness around them so I would know if anything exciting happened around them.

With that out of the way I believe that it would be best if I go searching for natural cells now and fiddle with some of my cells along the way. Of course I have no idea what environment they will appear in so I will have to search everywhere. Through all the domains and environments possible.
I spit my consciousness into parts again with one for exploration and another for experimentation. As the exploring consciousness drifts off the experimenting part begins.
The information I have to work with is little but it is enough. For I can change the sequence of the DNA in the cells and hope something changes. And overtime after billions and billions of combinations I finally come across a sequence that does something. The cell grew a strand at the back of its being. This strand moved it around propelling itself. Now I’m getting somewhere!
Although it might not seem like much progress after all the work put in it further proves my original idea that it is special. After a few more centuries fiddling with the cells my exploring piece of consciousness detected something. In fact it was a group of native cells! These cells were so isolated that it took me this long to find them. They were at the bottom of the water centered around heated shafts of underwater waves that came from a cylinder of earth. These cylinders, or vents as I will now call them, had the cells clustered around them. These cells were different from my own for they had little dots in within its membrane and in fact had a thicker membrane itself. The native cells were also doing an activity all by itself. They seemed to take something from the water coming out of the vents and converting it into some kind of power. This power had vestiges of all the elements excluding lightning with fire from the heat, earth from the particles coming out of the shaft, water from the water around it, and the air derived from the underwater waves.

This power was taken by the cells and used to grow more cells. Not only that, some cells after years of observation have tried to use that power, now renamed energy, to enhance themselves. This was by adding more strands or even thicker membranes. The absorption of energy clearly showed its importance here. As the generations went on these changes were also marked in each of their DNA. This is a huge marker of the relationship between the cell and the DNA. The DNA marks what the cell does and how it can change. With this in mind I memorized the different DNA structures and started to understand how the different combinations actually affect the cell.
By moving and changing the DNA structure I was able to change how some of the cells worked. Through the shape of the cells and the added strands. The experimentation was bountiful but I feel like this can not be the only environment cells can generate. To search for more native cells I need to search for places that have environments like the underwater vents. Places where cells can grow with the needed elements.
Surprisingly enough my exploring consciousness comes back with results relatively quickly. He found similar cells to the ones by the vents at superheated ponds of water by volcanoes. Though with similar searches and experiments revealed no results with cells in pure environments of each of the elements, including lightning. It seems they need at least a base environment with the elements of water, earth, air, and fire to form. Although it is a wonder why in the natural base formation of the cells do not need lightning even though they are found within the DNA.
Now with the exploration out of the way, it is the best time to try and enhance the cells into something better and hopefully bigger. The only thing I could think of that could help the process would be energy. Now although the native cells do get energy I don’t believe that it is enough to go beyond to its full potential. I may need to add large amounts of energy myself to not only speed up the process but to give the cells the chance to develop.

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.
