Hermit Wizard

The floor whispered quietly.

“It's a little different than you expected, isn't it? ”

I swallow dried saliva.

Was it impossible for pioneers to create a whole new world?

Looking at a similar world, I thought of a zoo. A view of animals breeding in a restricted setting similar to this habitat. Animals born in the Safari World will live their entire lives without even knowing what the place is like, right?

“That's where you said time flies, right? ”

“Yes. Our goal is to determine if spiritual evolution is possible in such environments. That's why I set the time in the analogue world up a little faster. ”

“Have you had any success so far? ”

“Unfortunately, there's not a single one. But wouldn't it be better to be stuck in the loop of our world congregation without ever getting a body and not having a self? This is my personal opinion. ”

I swallowed the whimpering. Yeah, at least it's better? · · · Isn't it?

“Can the peoples who were originally born and lived in a different world migrate to that similar world? ”

Chrytol's tentacles revealed a denial.

“Not only did we set the time quickly, but we put a huge amount of information in one room, so the fundamental mass concepts are different. Real-world beings cannot enter a similar world. And vice versa. ”

Upon hearing that, I erased the possibility of using that as a ark.

Maru said.

“It's a very similar world. ”

“Yeah, it's not the real world, so there's a lot of accidents. ”

Chrytol looked into the glowing light and said sadly.

“Well, there's a good example. You said Maru stayed in Korea for the longest time? The analogue world, which includes that country, is ruined. ”

It was unexpected.

“It's ruined? · · · Is there also a wrong ecosystem setting? ”

“I didn't mean it like that. I'm not in a similar world, but I've asked for your cooperation for a moment, so let's see for ourselves. ”

When I finished speaking, one screen swelled up. Inside, there was an urban landscape that was almost unlike modern Korea.

“It's a remarkably advanced civilization in a few areas. Cloning and reconstructing that dimension, space-time architects and human-major scholars had a lot of fun. It's one of the funniest things to do. ”

The corner of the busy city is finely reproduced. I was a little creepy, no matter how different it was from the real Earth. Under a dusty sky, cars pile up the road and the pedestrians walk between concrete buildings.

“You look too good to be screwed. ”

I closed my mouth instead of talking. Rapidly changing video. Urgent screams pour out. The voids of the city split and a black crack is created. Strange monsters poured out from there, which I never heard of.

The floor raises a suspicious voice.

“What is that? Like a channel? ”

“Channels can only be made by a soothsayer. There are, of course, no channels in the analogue world. That's a leap between ecological chambers. ”

In the footage as he spoke, a cruel video unfolded. The landscape of an ordinary city is ruined. Monsters fly through the sky and run through the building. Citizens are ravaged. Sharp horns shake their limbs and their nasty teeth chew. Screaming and screaming.

“Now it's time for me to take care of that similar world. ”

Scaredly before her words fell, the pioneer language in the video came to mind like a subtitle. I read it naturally.

“Emergency quest triggered. Rank: A +. Defeat the monster squad that appeared at the Fruit Gate. Reward: EXP 700 · · ·? ”

It was a sentence that was incomprehensible to the context.

“Who put that in the message? ”

“It's a second-class artificial soul that manages that similar world. The world that's already ruined is managed by an artificial soul. ”

Then there was another strange change in the video. When all human beings were being slaughtered without resistance, a unique outfit of people appeared from afar. · · · It also flies through the sky.

“Wizard?”

Something is different. They slaughter monsters with the spell I first saw. When you reach out and shout an unknown starter, lightning strikes at a speed similar to God's magic, a storm blows, and a piece of ice spills. The monsters died fast. And the moment one last individual vomited blood and fell.

Once again, a subtitle came to mind on the screen.

Quest Completed! All abilities in battle will be awarded EXP 700 and a random box will be awarded based on their contribution. Please check your inventory.

The subtitles, invisible to ordinary people in the video, were visible to the eyes of a unique human being called a capable man. It seemed to understand even though it was a pioneer language. In addition to the first subtitles, there were curly strings in front of their eyes, some reading it, some shouting for cheers, others kicking their tongues saying poop items had come out.

I couldn't understand what was going on.

“Is it like an error when you hit it with a program? ”

Chrytol took a gesture similar to a human sigh.

“To explain that phenomenon, we need to talk about the 73rd world in the 99203510 dimension. One of the oldest cloning worlds. The indigenous peoples there, who looked like bees on Earth, didn't have as much knowledge as we did, but they had quite a usable level of bioengineering and space. In two ways, it's far superior to the civilization of the planet today. And they succeeded in constantly evolving civilizations, even after they were replicated, to break through the doors to other neighboring similarities. It would have been impossible in the real world, of course. It was possible because of the instability of the similar world. And the manager of the 76th Similar World didn't stop it. ”

“Why?”

“He thought that his own intervention was a hindrance to the development and survival of his race. and they had a way of thinking that it doesn't matter what happens to other similarities that they don't control. In the end, the bees created artificial life for combat only with a pretty good bioengineering knowledge, and invaded a similar world based on a different dimension. I sent a hunt to find a species to prey on. And among the places that were targeted, there were similar worlds on Earth that you just saw. ”

I could only see the identity of black cracks through the city.

“But what was that weird subtitle? ”

“When the monsters came in, I couldn't be bothered by a representative from a similar world who replicated Korea. You don't understand, but if you're in charge of a similar world for a long time, you're amazingly attached to the beings that live in it. There are times when I feel like a creature that I've created. He was terrified when he saw the Earth's people being slaughtered in the cloning world. There were monsters whose civilization's weapons didn't work. I tried to intervene in a way that prevented the rift, but the opposing Dimension Representative objected. After all, the dispute settlement started. The procedure was long and complicated. The counterpart claimed that humans could survive enough. But the predecessors of the Earth-like world couldn't watch them suffer and flout in despair. My predecessor, who pitied man, made a choice that he should not make in the end. ”

“What is that? ”

“I manipulated the laws of the similar world. It's dangerous to touch the world itself, so instead it touches the relationship between humans and the world. I screened out some of the human beings and gave them an absurd ability to be causal. He was kind enough to guide me in case I didn't know how to activate my abilities. He was eventually fired, and his role is taken over by an artificial soul. That's the inner lining of the scene you're seeing. ”

Maru said he understood.

“You're empowering me in the wrong way. ”

“But that made it impossible for the world to make its own progress. It made normal development and evolution impossible. Those similar-world humans can't move forward on their own. I've already got pioneer hands. Normally, when that happens, we go back in time for a few years and start over, and even if we put too many hands on the world to go back in time, the individuals who are capable are going to keep their memories intact. The law is so tangled that you can't even touch it, you can't go back. After all, we don't enter new souls, we just leave them under the control of artificial souls like that. ”

Hearing Chrytol's explanation, I was able to understand more clearly the identity of this analogous world.

Pioneer tentacles change the laws that support the world, and the fate of the species changes.

I looked at the humans who were capable of laughing and laughing in the screen. They don't know. Recognize that their lives are thoroughly designed by someone.

Me and Maru went through a few more similar worlds and said goodbye. Chrytol said it was a souvenir and gave a lump of white light to the floor. Aphrodisiac has determined that it is a type of external-type information set.

“This is an introduction to the management of the Similar World. It wouldn't be a bad idea to look at it every time you get bored. If you are going to return to the mobile world someday, please consider a job in this field. Anyone who is a young people with a love and an interest in xenophobia is welcome! ”

With Krytol stirring the tentacles back, we set ourselves on the path of light.

* * *

Parvash sighs. This is the first time he's heard it since he borrowed my body for a while. What's different this time is that it's the provocative organ of the doll, which is a strange creature.

“What the hell! ”

The sound is mixed with a thick rumble.

Sixth with this.

Parvashe stands in front of a mirror-like object that illuminates his body and freezes with his mouth open.

A fierce face that seems to slaughter the opponent with just a glance. Hard muscles that seem to break the human head with bare hands. His body was like a sculpture that was engraved with the muscles of violence on the bones of a barbarian. Parvasse tried to touch the steel-like fangs coming out of his lips, but once again he found his arms unfolded because of the enormous biceps.

“What the hell! ”

That's the seventh.

“Parvasse, stop and sit here. I have something to tell you. ”

When he returned to Zeret's room, Parvasse gained a new body after regaining consciousness. Jeremy says he has something to see, and he leaves us alone to go somewhere.

I called again, looking at his oppressive dorsal muscles that were just angry at the back.

“At least, it's small now, so there's nothing to be uncomfortable about. Can't even pass the bookshelves? ”

His fingers are as thick as cucumbers.

Parvasch, I and Maru have begun discussions on the situation that has subsided their minds. I spoke with Parvash in the spirit of mediation, being careful not to let anyone else think. I heard that the Old Testament could observe the whole world, so I had to be careful.

As the story progressed, Maru was astonished that the savior had made such a threat behind his back, and he barely calmed down in a barrel of excitement that he said he should inform the committee immediately.

‘Everyone agrees that you can't defeat the pioneer and Chuck, right? ’

Parvasse replied with intent.

[Are you crazy? If you do wrong, it will turn the entire pioneer into an enemy. Look how you and I took off the body that I couldn't even touch. Those civilizations and skills are not at the level we can handle. Besides, Min Joon, you're not even better! Even with that recovery, I'm fully on pioneer assistance.]

‘But I'm a little reluctant. How are they going to get out when the Savior is gone? Talking about who I am. ’

[The nucleus of the world.]

Parvasse paused and pondered.

[Certainly, if you are a nucleus, a lot will be explained. I don't even know why the Black Keeper did it.]

"You're not as surprised as you think? ’

[I already used up all the surprising energy when I heard that I was a worthless beggar. The spirit was the savior. Why can't humans be nuclear?]

Maru got into the conversation.

‘Hidden, don't worry about what the Savior threatened. If the old people on the committee try to touch the covert, I'll stop them by any means I can. But if the seclusion touches the pioneers first, there's less reason for me to do that. That's not all. ’

‘If I throw away the bread, I'll be at a disadvantage. ’

‘Absolutely! Besides, you were stopped until the day you returned to Earth. It means you're safe until you're healed. I'm not going to try to drive you back to Earth before you even recover. ’

The more I hear, the less I understand the Old Testament's thoughts. I nodded.

"What did the Old Testament believe and think I would move so smoothly? ’

‘I don't know. I don't know if he's crazy. God is crazy, but he's a soothsayer. One of the oldest beggars. He's been a god for a long time. I'm going to lose my mind, even if I am. ’

Maru grumbled and thought.

‘· · · Remember! Never reveal your enemies to pioneers! · · · Especially in front of the old man who's going to see you now! ’

Suddenly, the words came out of context, so I didn't know English.

‘Who are you going to see, all of a sudden? ’

Then, the information gathers surrounding the floor were vibrating lightly. I think I got a communication from someone.

‘Remember what the Old Man said at the end? ’

What cunning son of a bitch called me?

"The Old Man must have predicted this. Horacell invited us in private. It's not an official call, but it's a big disrespect to say no for no other reason. You better go. ’

Who the hell is Horacell? ’

He's the tallest member of the Old Testament Management Committee. ’

I thought for a moment and added:

‘I'm also the head of the Ontario War. ’

The one who insists that you should not steal the Savior's Self if you're coming? Stupid little guy. What are you doing, Yoonnie? You're so worried about leaving the savior like that and getting hit in the back! Do you want me to blow it all up after I meet you? You can preach it with your own intentions. ’

[That's the opposite. It's not too late to take a closer look at the situation. I want you to find out what pioneers think and position about the world's nucleus.]

The floor rattled the tentacles.

‘That's already what I'm looking for under the water. ’

‘ · · · · · ·. ’

I couldn't open my mind and looked at the floor with a complex heart.

Parvash is Parvash, but what would you have done without him?

With a sudden mental silence, the floor notices my gaze and winks at the tentacles and spits sharply.

What are you looking at? ’
