Lesson 19: The Myth of Loss

"" The Eternal Horizon "... because?

Scarlet Snow frowned on the contents of the inheritance passed only to the royal lineage of the Grawior Empire, spoken by Empress Oriana as a condition of exchange, the name of the world that would set the stage for the myth told at its beginning.

Oriana nods.

"Yes, it is said that long ago, people of our ancestors lived in paradise called the 'Horizon of Eternity'"

"How many years ago, exactly?

"I don't know. In the first place, a century of loss is called 'The world is doomed. They say the past, present, and future are mixed' and they can't stipulate 'when' because this is a time when the concept of time didn't exist in the first place"

"... what the hell"

"It's refreshing to me, too. Well, it's only a myth, so I was wondering if there was any inconsistency... for now, I'm pretty sure it was a thousand years before the Holy Church claimed its origins."

Empirically, it felt like a complete spoon throw, and Oriana spoke only as a legacy.

Far back in the day, our ancestors lived in a rich world called The Horizon of Eternity.

The world was warm all season long, the flowers were constantly blooming, there was no natural disaster, no old age, no disease… I hope it was just the heavenly realm.

Demons also existed, as did the world today, but they also said they never attacked cities, villages, etc. where people lived, without crossing their own territory.

And more importantly, there were people called transcendents (players), such as gods and demon kings, as real rather than imaginary beings.

They were completely different from humans, whose appearance was very similar to that of humans, but they were also told that humans could not escape the boundaries of human beings, whereas, as if they were demons, they had changed over time into another being, and that even the younger ones had killed demons with a wave of arms, and were also essentially immortal, even if they died, they had lived back immediately.

Some of these transcendents (players), especially those at their peak, had their own territory everywhere, and they had a tremendous power and fame.

For example, Animal, a rampant beast god living in a giant magical castle that travels.

Diveta, king of righteous dragon knights, for example, as Lord of the fortress of steel.

For example, Morngai, the oligarchy demon king who rules the sea.

And Hiyuki, the beautiful princess of night and darkness, as the lord of a floating giant palace.

Oriana looked directly in the face at Scarlet Snow's eyes with the kind of eyes the honors students would answer to each other.

"- Is there any mistake so far?

"Come on? Because what you're reading there is tertiary information. I don't think secondary information makes much sense either.... Well, personally, I think it's pretty leggy."

Taking the bitterly laughing Scarlet Snow word as an ambiguous affirmation, Oriana smiled.

"... I see, and primary information is right in front of you."

"Did I disappoint you?

"There is no such thing. I still remember the excitement and emotion I had never had before."

Now, this transcendent (player), though living in the same 'eternal horizon', is completely isolated from humans and hardly a conversation in the first place just as people pay attention to the ants at their feet...... it is not even known if it is in the first place, they say it was as creepy and inorganic as the golem it is now.

One day in its' Eternal Horizon ', a sudden ruin struck. The world sank into darkness and the transcendents (players) disappeared somewhere... No, first the transcendent "players" disappeared and then doom struck the world, so it's unclear which is the cause of the consequences.

The powerless people left only embraced obedience and doom, but so the transcendents (players) left to the end were inadvertently descended into the earth as beings with flesh, collecting in one place all that was left on the earth, moving into a new world and becoming 'gods'.

We are told that this is the earth of today.

Then the living and the living spread over the earth, and the people were crowded and repetitive, but 1000 years ago the Holy Kingdom began to reign as the greatest force, about 400 years ago, and it continues to this day.

By the way, the Sacred Church calls this Savior 'the pale God' and says he is the only one who believes as God.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Not much for two weeks since then.

Looking through the protégé of Princess Oriana, received via Levan, I tried to sort it out in my head with a fumble of remembrance about the century of loss she told me about.

"... well, the code fits somewhat"

If you believe in the myths told by the Empress, it still means that this world was created based on the information (resources) of "E. H. O." and "Eternal Horizon Online".

And the presence of the players we've met so far is also a mystery, isn't it? All but one of them is supposed to have disappeared in the inheritance, and, well, it's probably natural to change the story or degenerate in the course of propagation for your convenience.

"No, heaven forbid. The old player you remember... well, including me, was he as silent as a golem like that?

I asked in the lifetime of the tuxedo standing beside me.

"Is that Yota story? There was nothing like that. The transcendents (players) were always cheerfully conversed, as were the princesses.... Well, we didn't pay much attention to the trends of those who live on the earth either, so it may have looked that way in the eyes of humans, but the intrusion is insignificant. The princess has nothing to worry about."

Hmm. I'm a little concerned about the difference in perceptions around here, but I think there might be a difference in perspective between the submissive demon (pet) and the NPC.

"… or is the composition different even if I use the same information (resources) as the 'pale god'?"

Looks like it's better that way.

In the first place, the passage of time is 100 years in our perception, and there are 1000 years open here.

"Does that mean this one's a better alien species? The question is who the player who became that god is, but at this stage, I only know what 'male character' is."

"How do you know you're a man, with so many fears, such as pinching questions about the princess's words?

Lifetime Capital (Miko), who stood beside him as well, leaned his neck in surprise.

"Shadow Lang taught me"

"Is there a Shadowloon...?

"Yes, he's said that many times." Next husband "the mastermind. I mean, a man."

"... can I trust you?

I had no choice but to laugh bitterly at my natural doubts about the life capital.

"That guy is a liar, but because he liked to play the prank of 'Now Read Behind the Words' with these hooks. I think you can trust me for that."

"I see.... though, there is no way to confirm its sincerity anymore"

Even for Life Capital, Mr. Shadowloon must be a memorable opponent in a way.

As a matter of fact, he has been a member of our guild since its inception (he didn't like submus or anything like that in person), so he can get along much longer than in heaven. So I guess there's something to think about that death, just like me.

"Well after that, Mr. Shadowloon's neck and record were poked at by the Chancellor as immobile evidence, quite imperial...... or it looks like the Princess of Suzuran is revving. I wonder why it feels like it fits where it fits. I'm going to go to the grave and see how things are going, so you can come with your life capital."

By the way, my middle smelly street name, "The Princess of the Rose," seems to be well established in the Gravior Empire.

... I honestly just don't want to go for a while until it's mostly cold.

"Yes, I will make a statement"

Life capital snorts with a thorough modus operandi.

"Yeah. - Well, even if we go, it's probably after the signing of a mutual trade agreement using a transfer magic device. Looks like we're having a hard time fighting over there."

When he announced the existence of the various transfer magic devices and began negotiating with the Emperor, he said the Prime Minister had embarked on a shabby ride.

So, in the end, the Empress Oriana is acting on behalf of the Emperor. He was accompanied by Chancellor Warren as a practical assistant and, in conjunction with territorial negotiations in Farbler, the capital of the former Kensruna country, is currently holding consultations.

Well, I leave it to Levan around here, so I don't know the details.

And that prime minister's back a lot. That's right, when you become a great person, the skin thickness on your face is different from that of an ordinary person.

Well, it says in the Princess Oriana's protégé that it was obviously a rash, so I guess I pulled it down like I should, considering the character of that princess.

And then the samurai, Lyna, who accompanied her that day, left her job without a word from her, and was accompanied by a letter of apology from her parents.

I guess how shocking the sight was that day. I did something I'm sorry about. and it was unnecessarily written as regrettable for her, so I guess Oriana thinks so meticulously. I wish I could help you with something.

"In the meantime, if the negotiations are separated, Levan will hear from you, too, so I guess."

"Yes, as the princess says..."

Realizing the subtle look on the face of its life capital, he said, "What's wrong?" I asked.

"No, is it because I was not present at the end of Mr. Shadowloon directly, because I do not think you have died"

If you ask me, I was at the crime scene. But I don't think I'm actually alive when it comes to Mr. Shadowloon.

"Well, because even I'm not pinned. I feel like I'm about to come back to life like a comic book or a cartoon."

"Sounds fun, Princess."

"Ma'am. I guess that makes us a little more comfortable with each other. - One of these days, 'Show up with a miraculous resurrection where it's exuberant' is a performance, because Shadow Lang is going to do it."

Ma, it's just a joke.

"Conversely, if you resurrect right now or something, there's nothing exciting about it. If it was a comic book, I'd be complaining," Are you back already? "
