Chapter 11: The Bond Analysis

Mikhailis stood there, staring at the small symbol now etched into his wrist.

It's a swirling, intricate design glowing faintly on it.

The warmth of the bond lingered on his skin, a sensation both foreign and thrilling. It wasn't every day that someone forged a connection with a mythical creature at another world.

Well, I found the chimera ant on my own world, though.

"Rodion," Mikhailis said, his voice laced with excitement.

"We've got to dig into this familiar bond thing. I need to know what it means—what it does."



Mikhailis grinned.

Well, that's true. No internet, huh? I guess we'll be depending on the vast data implanted within Rodion.

"Yeah, I figured. We're kinda blazing new trails here, there's no guarantee that thing about familiars we found online would be the same concept existing in this world, after all,"

He moved toward the Chimera Ant's enclosure, kneeling in front of it again.

The creature watched him closely, its multi-faceted eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and calm. Somehow, he just know that's what the Chimera Ant is feeling.

He could feel something new between them—an unspoken connection that hadn't been there before. It was as if the ant could sense his thoughts as its movements more synchronized with his presence.

"What do you think, little buddy?" Mikhailis asked softly.

"We're connected now, huh?"

The Chimera Ant responded by lifting its head, and its antennae twitched in a way that almost seemed like acknowledgment.

Mikhailis felt a faint pulse in his wrist, and the symbol on his skin glowed for a brief moment.

Wow.

"That's... wild." He stood up, running a hand through his hair.

"I always wanted a pet, but this is on a whole different level. It's a freakin' Chimera Ant magic familiar!!"

The room felt charged, as if the very air around him buzzed with magic and anticipation.

It wasn't just the Chimera Ant anymore. He could sense the faint hum of energy in the walls, the way the metal veins pulsed with light, the subtle vibration in the floor. Silvarion Thalor was alive, and now, Mikhailis was a part of it in ways he hadn't imagined.

"Rodion, are you sensing this? This change inside me," he asked, his eyes scanning the room.



Mikhailis nodded.

"That makes sense. I feel... connected. Not just to the ant, but to everything in this place. It's definitely real, unlike when you tricked me by saying [System Unlocked] and cursed me" He looked out the window, watching the towering trees sway in the soft breeze.



"It's like I'm attuned to the world itself."

He took a deep breath, letting the sensation wash over him. This world, with its strange magic and ancient history, was unlike anything he had ever known. And yet, standing here now, he felt a strange sense of belonging—like he was meant to be here.

Perhaps because of the feeling of being connected that he felt like a a gush of nostalgic washing over him.

The soft whirring of the monkey-shaped robot caught his attention, and he turned to watch it finish its task, arranging the last of his belongings on a nearby shelf.

The room was starting to feel more like his own—a blend of his technological world and the magical kingdom he now called home.

"Good job, little guy," Mikhailis said with a grin, giving the robot a thumbs-up.

The robot beeped in response, its blue eyes glowed slightly before it scurried off to charge itself near the solar panels by the window.

Mikhailis walked over to the desk, where his research gear was now neatly organized.

Then He glanced at the Chimera Ant again, still mesmerized by its growth.

"Rodion, I want a detailed analysis of the Chimera Ant's evolution so far. I need to understand what's happening with it—what kind of creature it's becoming. So that I could organize my thoughts for our next step,"



It's the most exciting part for every scientist other than the inventions.

"Test the bond, see if I can tap into its abilities. And I'll need to figure out how to control it—if the ant keeps evolving at this rate, it could become... unpredictable."





"Yeah, do that," Mikhailis replied, turning back to his desk and started tinkering with his computer.

"We'll need to be careful, though. If anyone finds out about this bond—about what the Chimera Ant is capable of—it could raise some... concerns. I hasn't accumulated enough 'Favorable Points' with these guys, after all,"

He thought back to his conversations with Elowen, how she had stressed the importance of stability and maintaining control over the kingdom. A creature like the Chimera Ant, with its ability to evolve and adapt, could be seen as a threat—or worse, a weapon.

I need to make sure I have her trust well as my first step.

Mikhailis didn't want to think about what might happen if the wrong people found out about his research. He had to be smart about this, careful not to draw too much attention.

For now, it was just him, Rodion, and the Chimera Ant. And that was enough.

"Let's keep this between us for now, Rodion," Mikhailis said, his tone serious.

"We don't need to involve anyone else until we know exactly what we're dealing with."

Well, it's not like Rodion will appear when I'm with Elowen in the first place.





Mikhailis nodded, satisfied.

"Good. Now, let's get to work."

He moved over to one of the shelves where his tools were stored, pulling out a small device—a sleek, handheld scanner that he had designed himself back in Ruslania.

It was one of his most useful tools, capable of analyzing both physical and magical properties with precision.

"Let's see what we can learn about this bond," Mikhailis muttered, activating the scanner and holding it over his wrist. The symbol glowed faintly as the device hummed to life, collecting data on the magical connection.

The screen displayed a complex web of energy patterns, all radiating from the symbol on his wrist. It was a fascinating sight—like watching a living network of magic pulse and shift with every movement he made.

"This is incredible," Mikhailis whispered, his eyes wide with awe.

"It's like the bond is... alive. It's constantly changing, adapting to my body, my movements. I guess that's why this is called the realm of magic,"





Mikhailis grinned.

This is getting more and more exciting!

"That makes sense. If the ant is evolving, the bond would evolve too. We're connected on a deeper level than I thought. Perhaps I would really get a system or something!"

He deactivated the scanner, tucking it back into his pocket. There was still so much to learn, so much to explore. But for now, he felt a sense of excitement, a rush of adrenaline that came with the discovery of something new and unexplained.

"This is just the beginning," Mikhailis said softly, glancing at the Chimera Ant once more.

"We're going to figure this out, buddy. You and me."

The ant shifted in its enclosure. Mikhailis could feel the connection between them growing stronger, a subtle pulse of energy that seemed to echo in the depths of his mind. It's like they are communicating, but not with words.

He turned back to the window and his eyes scanning the horizon.

This, is the new world that perhaps could give more excitement than he thought it would.

"Let's see what this world really has to offer," he muttered, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Magic, science, or something in between... we're going to find the truth, and have some fun!"

Rodion's voice chimed softly in his ear.
