Trinitas Mundus

Episode XXI: The Secret of the Trinitus World (Previous)

Ray encountered an observer in the corridor of his dreams. Observers told him that this world was like a “boxyard”.

"Is it the boxyard..." Ray groaned, and the observer said, "Yes, it's the boxyard. It's also a“ boxyard ”made to imitate your world."

Ray said, "I imitated our world... what does that mean?" confused, and as far as I can think of, keeps talking about the difference from the world I was in.

"There is no magic in the world I was in. And no elves, no dwarves, no beasts. Demons are like being here..."

The observer sends an apology, 'I think I confused you,' he said.

'First of all, where are the similarities… I think you know the weights and measures of this world, but have you ever wondered about this?

"Weights and measures? You mean lengths and weights... they do call them similar. Metric is“ melt ”or kilogram is“ kiglan ”. But what's that?

The observer sends an emotionally seeping thought: 'Is that all'. Ray wondered what kind of answer he wanted, "Surely it's as long and as heavy as it is, isn't it? I don't know exactly," he replies.

'Sure, the "original" doesn't exist, so I don't know...' he muttered, 'a melt is exactly a meter. And a kilogram is exactly one kilogram. Both may be considered the same up to less than one thousandth'.

At first, I thought it wasn't strange for Ray to be consistent, but I remembered that he was using yards and pounds overseas, and came to a conclusion.

"Metric was originally determined from the outer circumference of the Earth's equator... I used to use feet and rulers or something... well! There's something wrong with the standards!

The observer just realizes Ray's words so well that he sends an image in which he first agrees: 'Exactly'.

"Most of your old units in the world should have been close to life. Feet, as its name implies, was determined by the size of his feet. Inches are based on fingers and pounds on food consumption. In other words, it's a matter of necessity in life."

Ray finally figured out what the observer was trying to say.

(Units that are not close to life are not “naturally occurring”. You mean “given”...)

'It's the same about the earlier people,' the observer said, concurring. In contrast, Ray asked, "Is it the same?" and lean his neck.

"There may not be any sub-men in your world. But isn't it normal for stories to come out? It's the same for demons. There are more than one based story, but it's all in your creation of the world."

Ray was starting to get confused.

(So the “gods" saw our world and made this world by reference? But then, do people in this world mean that Ash and Stella also make crops... NPCs in games - non-player characters?... that's never gonna happen! I have proper emotions, and I'm alive...)

An observer who read Ray's thoughts said, 'This world is made, but it's a living world. It's not what you call virtual space. [M] I may be referring to it,' he tells her.

Although Ray was not convinced, he could not contest the words spoken by the observer.

The observer said, 'I wonder if you'll be convinced if I put it this way,' and said, 'all the organisms here were created by genetic manipulation, naturally living. But there are the organisms on which it was based…' he began to explain.

Ray mutters, "Is it genetic manipulation... like an experimental animal..."

The observer sends the idea of denial as' slightly different ',

"We created organisms exactly like genetic manipulation, but not the kind of technology you have in your world. I thought that was the easiest way to understand what the gods were capable of. '

And, 'If experimental animals are defined as animals made to serve human beings, then neither can they apply. The gods didn't make it to help themselves, but there's no doubt that people are actually at the service of the gods, "he added.

Ray was even more confused.

"So the people of this world were made for the gods?

The observer said, 'No. As a result, people are present to make the gods exist, but that's not all, "I assure you.

"So, for what? 'It's for the world,' Ray asked instantly.

"In building this world, we needed people, or similar, thoughtful and growing beings."

"What is the reason for this? What did God ask for people as thinkers for?

To Ray's question: 'There are many parts of it that we still don't know about. hypothetically, of course,' the observer replied.

Ray was drawn to the observer's words and murmured, "Hypothesis... what kind of hypothesis is that?"

And I ask, "Can't you tell me," but I ask, "This hypothesis is incomplete. Moreover, we need to know this world to explain this hypothesis'.

"Okay. So tell me about this world you saw. How was this world created?"

The observer immediately said, "Fine. Let me explain about this world I saw," I said and started talking.

'It was thirty thousand years ago that I saw... that civilization at that time was a very advanced mechanical civilization. I named it the First Civilization... as far as I can tell, the First Civilization lasted about 20,000 years. This first civilization was a world optimized by machines… people enjoyed happiness in an environment protected by supplies and machines that were never scarce…'

Ray accidentally said, "Eh! Wasn't there magic? It's magic when it comes to the power of the gods," he questioned.

'There was no magic. Instead, the gods didn't use a system called "Spirit Power” or “Mana” at all. "

Ray gets hooked on the word “mana," but interprets it as a common “magic" thing in novels and such, and never pinched his mouth in particular. In the meantime, the observer's story continued.

'... but it seems that material civilization gradually loses faith. This world is founded by a system called "Gods”. Its gods are strengthening its existence by the faith of the people. Conversely, the diminishing faith makes existence thin… as a result, the gods have lost their power…'

Ray was strongly shocked by the word that the gods had lost their power.

(If this world is made up of the power of the gods, if the power of the gods is lost, won't the world collapse...)

An observer who read Ray's thought replied 'Exactly' and went on to say 'The world collapsed as a result of the loss of power by the gods…'. Ray lost his word to the word collapse of the world.

'I'm talking about an earlier hypothesis, and this is the conclusion I've come to. In order to maintain the world, it is necessary for the gods to maintain their power. The source of that power needs people, that is, “thinking beings."

I think Ray will, but I notice a slight difference from what I explained earlier.

"I just said," Thinking and growing beings. "But doesn't the explanation now omit the part called" growth ”?

The observer was impressed with 'ho' and 'well noticed. This is the incomplete part of the hypothesis I mentioned earlier,' he replied.

The need for a "growing being” is a matter that could be confirmed by the results of 50,000 years of observation. But we still haven't figured out why it's necessary. "

"Growing beings are the result of observations..." Ray mutters.

'All the civilizations I've seen are growing. As I said earlier, you shouldn't have to let it grow in a world like the boxyard. If only the gods would give it. "

Ray was uncomfortable.

(What do the gods want to do? If, as this man says, this world is the boxyard world, are the gods doing experiments? An experiment where people grow up or something like research... is that weird? If people don't have to grow up and rely on God, their existence will be in jeopardy. I also feel like self-denial......)

'That's what I thought too,' the observer said, sending an idea containing laughter that 'I wish I knew what their purpose was, and I'm staying here' to go further.

'And there was another mysterious being. Earlier, the world collapsed, but that didn't happen naturally. It was caused by a presence...'

Ray had heard without pinching his mouth, but reacted to the place "a being”.

(A presence? Surely it must have been the setting I was writing... the Nothingness... yes! God of Nothingness, Vanitas!

The observer who called Ray's thought, 'Exactly. "It's Vanitas," he replies, "but we will go further.

"The Nothingness God was not simply waiting for people's faith to diminish.“ That ”was skilfully guiding people… the process was really sophisticated."

The observer's words were fun for the story of the world's collapse. Ray is uncomfortable with that.

(A lot of people must have died that the world collapsed. I'm not talking about that sounding fun. Besides, I thought this guy helped me...)

An observer sent an image of denial, saying, 'I am a “watcher” and have no power to interfere in the world'. Ray rebels against the word.

"But now you're telling me such a serious fact. Then you could have sent people a message just like Vanitas."

The observer said in a slightly toned tone, 'You will never remember this fact. As I said earlier, this is the "dream corridor." I mean, if you wake up, like a dream, the story of this place falls zero out of your memory, "he told me.

Ray mutters, "Are you dreaming......" but quickly becomes uncomfortable and says, "Sometimes even dreams remember. If it's a strong message, don't you remember waking up?" he argues.

As the observer sends a bitter image, he says, 'I don't want it,' and adds, 'what consequences, because watching it is my purpose in life,' without evil.

Ray felt angry at the way he said it. But I didn't lose my cool about the emotions being suppressed or the stories I was about to feel fiercely angry about.

"Are you saying that for your own pleasure, you don't even hate the world perishing...... many people die. You could have helped..."

'I can't do anything,' blocks Ray's words in a quiet tone.

"To be precise, even if I interfere in this world, there will always be a" fix "."

Ray asked again, "Is it a fix," and asked, "Who will fix it? Are you a godless man?" I ask.

"Gods. At least not the will of the godless Vanitas alone. Including the Creator God, the Three Lord God, the Eight Class God, and even the Nothingness God, who seems hostile, can help“ modify "… '

"Why is that? No, really?"

The observer suddenly changed the subject after saying 'I've tried it and seen it'.

That's why I'm in this place called The Wilderness of Despair.

Ray didn't understand what the observer was trying to say.

"How does this place relate to the interference of the gods?"

'That was a steep way of putting it,' the observer said.

"It's this place, but four thousand years ago, it was a place where the gods of nothingness tried to crumble the world today. You need to tell the history of this world I've seen to tell it... then let's talk about the rest of it earlier... '
