Chapter 60 – The Smiling Thief (Part 1)
"What the hell?" Zane muttered, eyes wide as he stared at the glowing hologram hovering above his wrist. "What is this voice speaking to me?"
"I am your Dimensional Integrated Assistant," the voice replied, calm and toneless. "Or DIA for short. You may address me as Dia."
The voice belonged to a female A.I., artificial yet strangely lifelike in its cadence—robotic but not entirely soulless.
"DIA...?" Zane raised an eyebrow. "Alright, Dia. What exactly do you do?"
He had a vague idea. Clearly, this was some kind of personal device given to candidates. But its function? He was still in the dark.
"My primary role is to assist you throughout your journey as a Dimensional Knight. I provide several useful features designed to help optimize your performance and ease your adaptation into your new environment."
"Useful features?" Zane repeated.
In response, the hologram shifted, reshaping itself into a floating screen filled with icons—polished, minimalist designs reminiscent of a smartphone interface. But it was sleeker, sharper, and clearly more advanced.
"I provide tools you may already be familiar with—calendar, communication, media, and entertainment—derived from your world’s smartphone interfaces," Dia explained.
"Additionally, I include exclusive features such as real-time health monitoring, internal body scans, injury diagnosis, mapping systems, call functions within shared dimensions, localized online communities of knights with shared interests, and much more."
