This happens after the events of the Jack's story.
AHIH who went into the past seven hundred years ago from the true year zero as to ensure the first generation of Salvation's Heroes are born, and that history flows properly.
In the wait until that point it will involve a break time for AHIH, when AHIH will build a tower and do personal research for entertainment, this happened near a village.
During this time AHIH took the form of a 25 year old woman with dark-brown hair and the same bright Auburn eyes, Magnolia and taking the pronouns of 'she' for the duration of this story and this Identity.
…
The first year of wait.
Journal entry one.
'My settling nearby of the village seemed to have caused quite a stir in the village, causing them to send a scout to check for danger.
Which was a natural course of action, I never presented myself to them in the first place, but after I met with the scout and spoken to him and showed him my friendliness they gathered and welcomed me with crops and beer.
I don't drink, but I accepted it anyway.'
Journal entry two.
'The villagers stopped coming in, the novelty of a tower lady in the forest seemed to have went away, strangely enough people started spreading rumors about me being some exiled noble lady.
Funny, because its technically true, for the body at least, I guess I do share this history since I was dormant when TIME got thrown out of the Estate.'
Journal entry three.
'My research came along smoothly, I decided to explore mana and mana cells during my waiting here since I already have access to the most advanced version of Mathematical Patterns and where they fit from my time in the Combat Space against Jack and my repeated use of Conceptual Layer fast travel.'
Second year of wait
Journal entry four.
'The scout from before came to my door today carrying a baby, his wife perished during childbirth and the baby was not far off, he begged me to save him, putting his trust in the rumors that I was exiled because of experimenting with the human bodies.
Falsehoods, whenever I needed the cells of different mana compression ranks I sneaked in and took samples when they slept, I even left them with Leone!
Still, if I didn't gave my sense of pain away I might have empathized with his pain beyond just reasoning it, so I took the baby and examined it.
Luckily I had the World Changing Song and I found that the thing was born prematurely, so I went ahead isolated him from sound and most harsh lighting.
Seriously troublesome, but I luckily have memories about how incubators work from past life curiosity, I kept the temperature warm and moist while I delivered the oxygen directly to the lungs, I also killed the bacteria and germs that I detected in the space.
I kept the thing like this for a month and observed it's growth, I didn't want to risk its death until it already showed clear signs of being healthy.
Matter of fact, I did read somewhere that babies make a member of the race automatically care for it regardless if they are family or not, I may no longer be human but the original instincts may have been carried over.
Anyway I gave it back to the Scout so I won't have to worry about it any longer, I did tell him to keep it secret, next thing I'd know if word got out is people tying to learn such things ahead of time.'
Journal entry Five.
'It is a joyful day, a brilliant day, a jolly good day.
I have directly observed, and cataloged, how mana cells can increase in compression rank naturally.
Taking from the knowledge I already had I began experimenting with Mana Ranks and Storage of them, of course before I explain such things I must explain how the people of the continent view mana and how its made as a whole.
You see, unlike the local philosophical belief that kept going even in the future, in the True Year Zero when I awoke, that explains that Mana is produced in the heart and that it is stored there as well in proverbial 'Circles' and that it has Rank's that don't increase or decrease until the next generation is born.
It is actually produced in the Bone Marrow! Along with all the blood cell, and specifically the main producer the breast bone!
And if you receive transplants from a higher rank you can increase the Rank of the mana permanently!
But that is not the reason it is joyful, I already knew this so I will explain how Rank can increase naturally.
Observations from the people of this world showed that mana can change 'types' when moving it from one person to another, apparently it does not increase/decrease the natural rank but the energy can be transferred, basically the receiving person can adapt to be more welcoming to the incoming mana energy and eventually being able to use it as if its their own.
Now for the important part, it seems that if you keep one specific bone marrow depleted of mana the bone marrow will adapt and ramp up its production of mana cells, all well and good, that is common knowledge.
But if you increase its energy and keep it at a higher level? It will literally begin increasing how much a single cell can store, the process is slow and annoying, but after days to weeks of keeping it at a higher energy, cells will begin to automatically be produced and within a week or two the marrow will have a higher compression rate and will begin giving higher energy compression to other bones as well making the future process easier, the important thing is to not stop, the bone marrow needs to adapt to the increased amount of energy, at most ten hours of rest never more, at that point the progress will revert drastically.
Those mana cells are strangely adaptable as well, the new ones also seem to assist the bone marrow in adaptation.
Further research shows that mana rank won't decrease either, the body is adapting upwards apparently.
Also full body adaptation from the improved bone marrow takes time, while you could drastically change ranks of a main producing bone like the breast bone, waiting for the marrow to spread the adaptation to others could take months.'
Year six, Journal Entry six.
'I haven't wrote in a while, experimenting with bone marrow was all well and good, but I already observed it happening and already knew about it pre-transmission in my past life, it lost novelty.
So I began experimenting with other things, specifically things that will come in use when I go back in time further to nudge the research on project AHIH in the direction I want it to, basically ensuring that I can ascend when time comes.
Also that thing grew up, and like a duckling it probably imprinted on me, it keeps coming here daily.'
Year eight, Journal Entry seven
'So the little duckling's father the scout perished due to an infection, I took him in, apparently the children of the village avoid him or straight up harassing him, if it was me pre-ascention I would have probably gotten rid of the troublesome ones silently and have it be outside most of the time and not inside where it disturbs me, but I just opted for keeping the thing here, when I leave I'll just send him to Vast Lehatot so that the info won't leak and affect causality.'
Year ten, Journal Entry eight
'Who said that kindness doesn't get rewarded, I taught the duckling how to increase his mana rank and he went from a rank three to a rank sixteen, this is the rank most kings of the continent have, and it increased in just two years, of course since hes young the spread of the new adaptation is faster but an adult is probably still in the area, maybe at most four years?
The adaptation increased by a few ranks one after the other in shorter term before the inevitable pause to let the rest of the body adapt, then with the increase in mana capacity and rank enough energy to add to the improved bone to increase the rank further is given.
I love seeing the progress in the real rather than on paper.'
Year twelve, Journal Entry nine
'I don't know if its because of me using a female form for this waiting period but the little duckling seems a bit.. girly?
I did take my time to observe the kids of the village around his age and gender and they are very different compared to him, but compared to the girls he seems very similar to them in personality and attitude.
Very reserved and quiet, it might be due to isolation though, but he is cleaner and better maintained than all of them, that's probably because nearly modern appliances in the tower.
Of course that reserved and quiet personality is gone when he is talking to me, he'd never let me cut his hair back to short either.'
Year sixteen, Journal Entry Ten
'I don't want to admit it, but I've grown attached to this kid.
I'm seriously thinking about moving him to Vast Lehatot ahead of time and teach him about instability mutations, and how to use them to extend lifespan.
I already taught him well, we stopped his rank at twenty since it is already more than enough, his capability is enough to be a legendary mage.
Too bad he can't and wont gain mass recognition for it.'
Year nineteen, Journal Entry Eleven
'Little duckling killed six men.
Apparently they spread rumors about me being a witch along with other disdainful things like me sneaking in at night and stealing the 'life-force' of young men when they are asleep to keep my youth.
He was really professional about it, and adhered to my morals as well, he killed them instantly without pain and in a way it won't be traced to him.
Also a drought seems to have hit the village.'
Year twenty. Journal entry Twelve
'We left the village after destroying the tower and everything around it.
The villagers formed a mob and blamed me for the drought, saying that everything will be fixed if I died.
Its lies, they just want to loot my tower.
Honestly I already knew this will happen, I saw it in causality, they are bound to perish either way so I might have erased them instantly and mercifully, but strangely enough I don't want to.
Specifically I don't want to do it with the Duckling around, so we just left and we razed the tower and everything else to nothingness.'
Year twenty. Final Entry.
'The time has come for me to assist TIME in ascending Salvation which is a spirit to a faith born deity, and for her to make the first generation of heroes with project seven.
I left the duckling at the Vast Lehatot, I hope to see him in the future as an esteemed Lehatot research tower leader, and hopefully with an extended lifespan, I already told him my identity so it won't be strange for him when I introduce myself in the future with another face.
And even if he ages, I'd recognize him by his cute and girl-like appearance.'
