Chapter 9 - Learn the basics

"I see that you have made a clear decision with a calm mind, Rayligh, and I am sorry that I didn't tell you or Alex about Ben."

Rayleigh felt numb. He didn't want to do anything now; he just wanted to find a hole and curl up inside, but he knew he couldn't do that; he had a mission to do. He had promised his mom[1] that he would save his dad and end the war.

"Ok, Uldess, how do I turn Rita into a true null entity?"

"Well, first, stop calling it Rita. You calling it by its old name makes it harder to convert. If you want to call it something, come up with something else. Now then, focus on the concept and visualize how unstable it is; try to contain it. See the gyroscope slowly start to gain balance, and then release your energy while having that image in your mind."

Rayliegh closed his eyes and started to focus on the null entity's concept. When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by darkness and was floating.

"You must be Rayligh, Goren's son, right?"

Rayleigh turned around and saw a gargoyle with a giant sword in one hand. Rayleigh noticed that its eyes were two white raw concepts.

"I am. Who are you, and what is this place?"

"Rayligh already felt uneasy, and now with this thing in front of him, he could only hope that he would be safe>

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Showren, your father put me in charge of the absole, you can just think of me as the warden."

Rayligh felt relieved; he knew just by looking at Showren that he could not take him, no matter the circumstances.

"So, do you know why I am here? I was just trying to make to true null entity and then I was here."

"Oh, I brought you here, I wanted to introduce myself and to tell you that you can leave, keeping your null entities in peak condition."

Rayligh felt rather entertained talking to Showren; he seemed quite intelligent and fun to be around.

"Now then, what shall you name the new entity?"

Rayligh stopped for a moment, he could never come up with names for pets or now soldiers.

"I am not sure what to name it. Do I have to?"

"Not really, most of the time they will come up with their own names, but since this one was not fully transformed, it was not able to choose a name."

Rayligh was stuck; he couldn't decide[2], should he name it like it were a pet and give it a normal human name?

"Wait, I don't need to give it a normal name, I could name it something like sargent or alpha, right?"

"Correct, my lord, null entities don't require normal names, so have you decided?"

"Yes, I have. Listen up, entity, from this day on, you shall be called Agent. Do you understand?"

The entity started to take shape, and a body started to form around the gyroscope. Once the body was finished, it made clothes, and it started to look like a stereotypical secret agent.

"Wait, why is Agent male, Rita was female?"

Showren looked a bit uncomfortable.

"Well, you see, my lord, null entities normally don't form with cloths; it normally takes them a while to get strong enough to create cloths, so until then, they take on the same gender as the one who created them, so that their master would not get distracted in battle."

Rayleigh still seemed quite confused.

"That still doesn't answer my question on why Agent is now male. He has clothes on, so why is he male?"

"Well, sometimes entities are born with personalities due to having a large amount of power, so that is most likely why."

Rayliegh seemed to accept that answer. At that moment, he heard Uldess's voice.

"Rayliegh, are you there? You need to hurry up, Orgriral is here."

[1] Don't fact-check me

[2] I also have trouble coming up with names. I just named Rayligh after one of my favorite One Piece characters( that being Silvers Rayleigh)
