Chapter 19: Nokia is alive
His lens lit up like a Christmas tree and started displaying different designs of clothes one could wear. All one needed to do was think and choose a design for the nanobots to generate. It was similar to Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit in the Avengers. One might think that with such nanotechnology, they wouldn’t need to buy any more clothes and could survive with just one.
No.
In order to obtain a particular design, one would have to pay royalties to the designer. In a way, it was more direct and better, and one could access a set of designs depending on the amount of money spent on their nanocloth initially.
Aric did a quick search, and since it was mind-controlled, his clothing design changed into one of the most common ones he had seen among humans, which was just a T-shirt and loose pants. After transforming himself, he soon left for the cave.
Within half an hour, he was back at the cave. Seeing the old, dilapidated cave, he thought of changing his base once he was sure of the world, but at the moment, this would have to suffice. Instead of returning to the magical world, he found himself back at his grandparents’ place.
The last time he tried teleporting from his bathroom to Echorysia to his bedroom, he just visualized his bedroom a bit and was able to teleport instantly. He wanted to see if he could do the same with other places too. And surprise, surprise...
He could go to any place he had ever crossed paths within this lifetime. So every new place he had visited in the last few days since his reincarnation, he could move through via two teleports. It was basically like exploring gaming maps and having fast travel to each location he had ever visited before.
This meant that he could return to the same village where everything went awry and he was thrown into the jaws of death. But he needed to have a better strategy than the previous one he had. After returning to his grandparents’ place, he was welcomed with food again, which he loved.
"Grandma! I can’t eat any more cookies. It’s too much," Aric protested as he was given home-baked cookies.
"Who is telling you to eat? You are just tasting. There’s no harm in tasting," Grandma said, which frustrated Aric a bit but also made him thankful for their love. As he was eating, his grandpa came with a box in his hand.
The small cardboard box had "NOKIA" written on it in big letters. Aric’s eyes widened when he saw that.
"You damaged your previous black and white mobile?" Aric asked.
