'A mystery is a mystery when someone tries to understand and explain it but fails in the process.'

Monster Cores, a mystery that is never explained but understood as natural as the air we breathe and the water we drink. I was one of those people who understood Monster Cores the same way. Humans have explained Air and water, uncovered the mystery behind them, what are they? Why are we dependent on them? Are there enough of them? And now answers to all of these questions are common knowledge.

Ever since the discovery of the Viltronian Core, I started to explore the mystery known as monster cores. How is the monster core formed? What are the perks of having a monster core? And in the end, I did reach half-assed answers to the incomplete questions I had come up with and believed that I had solved the mystery behind the monster cores, how narcissistic of me? Where in reality what I did is copy the incomplete findings of another race.

I thought Viltronian Core and Monster core are the same as both enhance the user's physique and strength. But I was wrong, the monster core did more than that, it gave monsters their skills. Which I overlooked completely and believed monsters inherent skill from their predecessor like bloodline therefore the monsters of the same race pretty much had the same skills.

I failed to question where the predecessors gained their skill. If I had asked this question then I would realise my understanding about the monster core is misguided and would not have to wait till Anna guided me to the right path by asking the simple questions: How do the monster core enable a monster to use supernatural skills like conjuring fire and teleportation? Where do these supernatural skills come from?

That's when I realised that I was wrong to think the monster core gives monsters a strong physique and inherent their predecessors skill. What monster core does is help monsters grow strong physically and develop their own set of skills. Yes, there are two parts to what monster core does. Comparing the viltronian core to the monster core I only focused on the part where the monster core provided a strong physique to monsters and completely credited the skills part to bloodline inheritance.

But the same goes for Ego Gem, it is too focused on how to gain supernatural skills like the monster core and unknowingly credits the effect of the monster core on the monster physique of monsters to supernatural skills. The monster physique and supernatural skills are two faces of the same coin, monster core. Ego Gem is to gain supernatural skills and Viltronian core is to gain monstrous physique.

In the end, both the Viltronian core and Ego Gem are incomplete copies of the monster core. They both are the same and so different at the same time. Answering the question of how I was able to enter the Ego Gem without forging my Ego Gem, I had something similar, a variant viltronian core Calamity Soul Core.

The similarity between them is the reason why Calamity soul core and Ego Gem responded to each other and asked to fuse, forming a complete version of Monster core known as Soul Gem. Which inhabits both the perks of a Viltronian Core and an Ego Gem. The Soul Gem allows me to gain both Supernatural skills from the rules of the world and a monstrous physique with no natural death.

It is a known truth that the longer the monster lives the stronger the monster becomes. Meaning that strong monsters do not have a natural death or have a long life span gifted to them by their monstrous physique. Therefore they continue to grow stronger as time passes instead of growing old and dying.

Finally answering the correct questions: what is a monster core? How does a monster core do what it does and what enables it to do so? I can boldly say I have uncovered some important mysteries to the monster core. This time around I was not narcissistic enough to claim I have solved the mystery of monster core.
