Chapter 223: Adam and Ava Part 2

"So Ava, if you could have anything, what would you want?" asked Adam as he launched himself into the air and took down a goat beast with a single attack.

Adam had decided against taking the goat beasts into his Beastpedia as it didn't have any special traits that were impressive, rare or useful and despite their speed, power and resilience, had become very proficient in killing them.

Ava answered his question straight away and Adam had expected her to take some time to think about his question, but she answered it straight away, which surprised him.

{If I could have anything, I would want to have a real human body and would want to live a fun life with you forever} stated Ava.

Her change was too sudden and unexpected by Adam who had thought that the system was cold and arrogant previously, but he was pleasantly surprised.

Imagining himself as a program that was placed within an individual's mind and assuming that Adam was the first person that she had contact with, Adam understood where she was coming from.

Adam was the only person that Ava could communicate with and was also the only person that understood her, while she was the only one that could understand him completely. Matched with the fact that they were bound to each other, Adam completely understood her desire and weirdly wasn't against it.

"Well then if there is a way that we can make you a body and do that, then we will do it," said Adam, who also wanted to embrace such a beauty that understood everything he had been through and would be there with him no matter what he went through.

Adam shocked himself by what he said, but Ava was overjoyed by it and Adam could sense her jumping around in joy within his mindscape.

Since they were bound to each other, they could both feel what each other were feeling and after Adam accepted her, Ava had gained complete sentience.

She was previously only slowly gaining emotions and understanding how human's thoughts and feelings worked, but Adam's acceptance helped her to gain complete sentience and it also caused her to understand what she and Adam were feeling.

Losing focus by talking to and sensing what Ava was feeling, Adam was suddenly rammed in the side by the horns of a goat beast that he was fighting against, and was launched crashing into the side of a small mountain.

Adam's caused a small crater in the side of the mountain and had been damaged quite heavily by it, but was still calm and regained focus on his hunting as he used the Step Skip Skill to appear behind the beast that was charging towards him.

Appearing behind the beast, Adam pierced its neck with the spear he was wielding and gound that using the spear was very effective against the goat beasts as he could keep them at a distance from him, so that it was harder for them to land an attack on him.

{Are you alright Adam?} asked Ava worriedly.

Adam didn't expect that she would worry for him as previously when he had hunted, he felt as though he had nothing to lose and wouldn't care much about the damage that he received.

But with Ava within his mind and worrying about him, Adam felt that he needed to care more about the pain and damage he was suffering in his Dungeon Form and completely focused on the beasts in his surroundings.

"Ava, we can talk while I recover, but for now, let me hunt until I exhaust most of my energy" stated Adam.

Ava didn't answer as she didn't want to distract him, but Adam could feel that she understood and felt guilty, so completely concentrated on hunting.

Adam, who reserved his energy while hunting and tried not to tire himself out too much, hunted for over an hour before stopping to find an empty and safe area on Floor 5 to recover.

He went to the edge of the floor and after making sure they weren't any beasts in the area, activated the Ethereal Recovery Skill and returned to his mindscape.

"We have around 3 hours before my body recovers, so what do you want to do?" asked Adam as he sat on the ground in his mindscape.

"You do realise that this is your mindscape, so you can make it appear how you please and you have complete control over the space," said Ava.

"Just imagine something and intend for it to appear, and it should appear" guided Ava.

Imagining that he was in his apartment and intending for his mindscape to be his apartment, which had become his favourite place where he was most comfortable, as it was where his aunt was, the mindscape suddenly began to transform.

Within an instant, Adam appeared within his apartment and it was exactly the same to the point where he was almost convinced that he had returned to his apartment, but he realised that he was still in his mindscape after seeing Ava behind him.

He had become more accustomed to Ava's beauty, but he still found it hard to look at her eyes and would never directly look at her for long, as he would end up staring and becoming mesmerised.

"Since you said you wanted to live and feel what a human would feel, you can do that in my mindscape," said Adam.

Ever since Ava gained complete sentience, Adam could feel another set of emotions within his mind that didn't belong to him and could tell that she felt lonely.

After seeing Adam having many friends around him, she wanted to be the same and Adam could feel that, so wanted to replicate that within his mindscape for her.

He had nothing better to do while his body recovered in the dungeon and led her into the living room and lay on the sofa.

Ava had a wild smile on her face sat on the other single sofa as they began to talk between themselves.
