[There's something beyond this wall. I could hear the reverberating chime of a clock in the distance. It felt like I'm stuck and was upside down, but I don't feel anything which is weird. I noticed that there was a person sitting on a chair in this place with only clouds as the flooring.]
"Oh, hello. What are you doing here? Ah! I guess it was you. That person he was looking for. Welp, sucks to be you since you'd be stuck in here with me for a long time. If you can't see me clearly, I'm showing you a big wide smile that shines brighter than the sun of this world."[I couldn't clearly hear what that person just said, but I guess he was enthusiastic enough to talk to me.]
"Did you see that there's a lot of papers lying around of these clouds? This is a story that was serialized by the creator and has a lot of chapters that look like a story but were really just a journal in his own mind. Yes I know, he's my creator and I worked for him. But now it has ended. Well, it was a long time ago and I'm just still here, lingering in this world as a non-character. I'm surprised that I saw you here."
[My senses are slightly getting clear. I can slightly fathom the words that this person was saying, but along with those, there seems to be some gap in what I'm hearing.]
"Oh, that's right. I think I can show you his book. This is what I was working for him, but then there's just some kind of problem that would never be fixed in every way. Well anyway, here it is."
[The person beyond this thing I'm sealed with showed a book entitled 'Why Does My Dreams Became Real?' He flipped the book upside down so I could see it.]"This was his masterpiece. He put his entire life just to create this. But this creation also led to the downfall of mankind, connecting everyone in a single source of process and dying until that person fulfilled the desire to connect and to die." Uh... Why aren't you talking to me? Are you deaf or something? Do you have a problem hearing me there? Or maybe you're just useless? Heh?"
"Oh, that's right, your senses are still in the middle of processing and you couldn't hear me that clearly. I hope that you can still follow me alongside this rambling that I'm saying to you. You're the only person I could talk to since I'm in a place of isolation in the real world, hiding from something. I've brought my work into this world by transferring some of my data just when I was about to be fired and killed in the middle of synthesis. Don't mind me when I work, huh."
[It feels nice to listen to his ramblings. I can now finally hear his words, but my eyes have begun to get blurry, preventing me from seeing the entirety of what I saw earlier.]
"I brought my typewriter, you know, old fashion way is what I like and I like the sound it creates. See? I pressed the buttons and sounded like the chime of a clock. Well anyway, this was said to have been created in September of 1867 and made our life easier than by writing it on a quill. Well, doing this is just to keep on working on your condition, and also to ease the burden and the guilt in me. He'll kill me if he saw me you know. I'm afraid, but I'm not showing it to you. So, thank you for being here.""You see, the world outside of this illusion is just a utopia filled with death and a stream of mucus in the hole in a star-like tower that he made for all of you, but then, it turned to waste since he was betrayed by many because of his ingenious idea and his power that manipulates life with his magic.""My purpose was supposed to end already, yet this guilt hunts me still even in my dreams. The chime of clocks continued to ring in my head, remembering everything that I'd done. I'll feel that something was wringing my neck in my sleep with a wire. I couldn't sleep you know.""You're trapped here, but you're not entirely alone as I'll always come back to do my work for you and in our world. It's really quite ironic since I didn't expect you to actually appear in this place. I didn't even expect that you, as a real human body would be able to succeed in entering a place that is only for thoughts. Heck, I was flabbergasted, but then again, I'm still happy that you're here.
[I uttered something, but a force is blocking out the sounds I created. It only released a warm air that fogged the thing that was sealing me..]"Wow, you can even move, but not entirely for now. You're still in the middle of assimiliation where your body will adjust as the story progresses since this is based on the concept of my creator's story. If you're wondering what kind of thing was sealing you. It's a thick large block of ice that is perfectly made into a rectangle that's why your warm breath would be able to unseal you since this is made by magic and thoughts wouldn't be able to touch something that is physically real.[Then suddenly, my body began to glitch out of the world appearing in two different places. One in which I was trapped on another rectangle box, but I couldn't see my body and one is in this place.]"Oh, your body is glitching. I guess your body will have to just get used to it. Well anyway, I'll continue to talk to you. Do you know, I have this feeling that something bad will happen in our world. I have looked for many scenarios from different histories of our world and I found out that you have all lived for so long that the monster had taken an interest in your immortality."
"They have studied the aurora that came out of you that time where you were able to create a new world only in that aurora. It was now called aurora borealis because of its magnificent lining of the mountains where your power activated. You died, you know that. I don't know what's the cause of it, but my creator is doing something for the four of you and one of them is your brother whom my creator is deeply fond of.
[My brother? There's such a thing as a brother? I wonder who it was. Even though I don't know who it was, I am feeling quite sad to hear the word 'brother.']
"Oh. I guess you missed your brother and you've begun to cry even though it was not supposed to be possible. You really are quite a peculiar person. You all desire something, and yet that something is running away from you all and kept itself hidden for a long time even though my creator did everything for a long time."
"I do hope you all get back together and stop him. That madman who created an art that would kill everyone if he finished synthesizing the power of my creator. Oh, that's right, I'll let you on in a secret. I was not supposed to say this, but, that madman's power is quite strong. What was it called again, 'Emperor's Divinity.' That's what I heard when I was still working for them, but now, I'm just a person who is hiding from them to not become someone whose will was taken.""So yeah, you'll be in my care for a long time until they find you. If you're wondering why I don't just bring you to him, there is a reason why I won't do that. The first reason is that your body would die in the real world since your body is currently here, meaning that if I forced your body that I'm seeing right now in the real world, then there would be another explosion of your powers.""You really have a quite peculiar power that was still activated even though you were already dead for a long time. That's why if I forced your body right now to appear in the real world, then I don't know anymore how you'll bend the laws of physics and the magic world."[I can now finally see him. The person that was talking to me. But suddenly, my head began to hurt, it felt like something was pricking the inside of my brain.]"Oh... Your body is becoming transparent. I guess you really do need to adjust for a long time until you are able to fully manifest yourself here. Anyway, I'll wait for you here. In the clouds. As I wait for you to come back until I finish my work for you and for him."
[I'm losing my consciousness.]
"Goodbye for now. I hope you can manifest your body here. Thank you for your time."
</> An anomaly left. </>
"Haah... My creator. She's here. I wish I could say that to you, but since you've prevented me from seeing you I guess I should just wait for you until I fulfill the promises that I made to you when I left."
Data Processing… Character status preset… Complete!!! What was it… That dream. I don’t remember how it started and ended—only a gist of a beautifully created cloud and an innumerable quantity of papers lying around. It felt like I’d died, yet my pieces weren't shattered and crossed the borderline of death. It’s so dark. My eyes wandered the empty space as I looked for my friends who weren’t there. It’s just a state of chilling gloom to a place where my body just drifts with nothingness. A finale? Or a beginning of the end? Will a light come? Or I’ll be stuck here for a while? It's a waiting game for a never-ending time. ㄴ Greetings, worldly traveler. The world is in a dire state of heroes. Destruction awaits for that world in a month, and an unforeseen amount of death would be unleashed on the people of that world. {Heroes? Destruction? Where is this voice coming from? Was it an echo, or was it talking to my head?} ㄴ To enter the world, a sacrifice must
Death is an obligatory action against an enemy that walks on a wheel. Mechanicalized objects that we gain EXP from as we destroy and mutilate their organic fluidity that comes out of their body as we tear them. Flure and I had strolled around the left path for quite some time now. We’ve found a map of the whole place and discovered that we’re in an underground civilization. The map structure was a maze. The air around us feels funny as we’ve reached the lower level. There’s this constant illusion that keeps appearing as if something is there. Sometimes, humans appear out of nowhere like ghosts, but as we interact, they will disappear like a fog. As this goes on, I've reached a sufficient level that has made me use different spells such as ‘Elemental Synthesis,’ ‘Elemental Manipulation,’ ‘Flame Manipulation,’ and many more that I deem useful in fights. There were several skills I could use, such as this Milos Sword, which is still on its weak side. It has a passive component that I ne
I've longed for a new book, a feeling that seems like ages ago. The journal we discovered is the size of a book at each step. We dug into Spiegel's journal to learn more about this site, from before the collapse of the underground society until the time he lived there. Spiegel wrote about his adventures in his notebook, explaining that this place was built centuries ago to stop an imminent tragedy prophesied in a vision inscribed on the walls of a tiny island they uncovered. We divided each entry into four distinct days since we saw that some entries represented the author's views while others contained great significance. Day 300-year 300██ It has been quite a while since we established our residence near our world's core. To expedite the excavation and repair procedures, plugging the dug-up dirt, King Broen dispatched numerous magic users, harnessing both their mana and mechanical instruments to accelerate the process. Living in such proximity to the planet's core is peculiar yet
I had a dream that I was plummeting through the skies. Accepting my fate, I let myself fall quickly. I waited until the floor where I would land made a massive, bloody mess of my guts, scattering all over the place. A gust of wind abruptly halted my descent towards the ground. It stopped my fall and gently lowered me to the ground. The breeze was warm and wonderful as it touched my hair with its unanticipated blast. This wind motion had touched me deeply since it had saved my life when I was ready to die. So I stood up and bowed, expressing my gratitude through my actions. As I descended, I noticed I landed on sand rather than solid ground. It wasn't the expected heat; instead, it was cool. Snow was forming on the dune, and the sun's warm rays fervently welcomed me. Despite the sunny weather, I couldn't shake off the chill and began to shiver. Then, I saw a large comet followed by an asteroid streaking across the sky. They passed through the atmosphere, leaving behind a beautiful c
Seraphim’s Story: POV Now, here's the tale passed down as a children's story for many generations. It recounts how everything came to be in this world, describing the moment when man encountered the creator of magic and became the early user of the gift bestowed by the angel. In the Alps, an angel resided, its skin exceptionally beautiful as it concealed itself under the magnificent splendor of its wings—beautiful, pale, and fragile as glass. There, the angel spread its wings, revealing the pallid body of a beautiful man. Its wings shine so brightly, like the sun on top of the Alps. Every living being began to walk towards the beautiful light that the angel cast into the Alps. Every being was fascinated by the light. They walked without care for their surroundings and began to trample each other as their eyes were only fixated on the light. Then, they were greeted by the angel, who floated in the sky. As they arrived at the top of the mountain, everyone was taken aback by the ange
Mori’s POV: It's highly unusual. A story like that seems so impossible to happen in my own view of life. Who would have thought that this world has a history of such decadence toward the gifts they've received and to someone they hold most dear in their life? Is it weird for everyone to become blind and think differently when the thing they look up to is gone? Now that I think of it, this story is rather intriguing. The world, once living in peace, has now scattered and turned into a vast wasteland of destruction and death. Who would have imagined such a transformation? Once filled with vibrant colors, everything changed due to the sin committed by Serpentine and the angel. It all turned to nothing, leaving behind distrust and painful experiences that have lasted for thousands of years, shaping the world into the desolate state we see now. But that's how the world works. Even if the prophecy hadn't been discovered, the world would always end in disaster. Everything happened as a res
The infinite colors of this world are undoubtedly a breathtaking sight that I won't forget. It's a beauty akin to a spiraling streak of stars in the sky. This world doesn't even feel a bit dead. My chest leaps with joy, emotions swirling without contrast. It's like a sphere holding everything in a single spot, creating an interplay of emotions as I gaze all over the fortress. This is the fortress, a world that feels more conspicuous than outside the barrier, standing tall and covering the world with vibrant hues. “Sigh~” I let out a heavy sigh as I stared into the sky. I tried to reach out my hand through the single orb of colors dangling in the middle of Migrianitae's heavenly settlement. A torrent of colors spread, producing an out-of-this-world spectacle. My jaw hangs loose as the feelings of disbelief, fear, and agony disappear just by looking at the sky. The beating of my chest calms down, transforming itself from the anomaly of joy. It's a lively place, brimming with warmt
Life, like a vast and fertile spring, ebbs and flows with the passage of time. A fleeting moment dances on the boundary between death and an unyielding existence, indicating a never-ending pursuit of happiness. Life, akin to the first runner entering a sullied world, unfolds into its own greatness. Who would have guessed that existence itself would offer me a smile amidst the darkness enveloping my heart? Who would have thought that everything could be so fun? *Before entering Modeliăvimas* Okleneir's glittering magic color in the sky left quite an impression on me, and it somewhat affected the structure of the sphere. The things they'll generate in the simulated roleplay will have free will, much like people. Free will assures that no one succumbs to the insignificance known as destruction. Everyone thrives, akin to bliss, in a world that predicts future joy in the memories of certainty. I don't want to let them down with this game. Even if it's just in this simulation, I want t
