" ugh " Yuni groaned from the battle and looked at the broken weapon that she used to kill the manager " Another one dead " Welt watched Yuni walk out and looked outside , fascinated by the amount of appreciation she was expressing just from a view .
The thoughts that passed through Welt at that time were envy . They envied the world that had a character like Yuni , who could show so much appreciation . One who would love the world even though the people were cruel and destroyed it . They watched Yuni walk down and look at the few boss monsters she had spared .
" You're all fine now , go back to whatever habitats you have " Welt didn't think she would free them after all , they would be more useful if she had butchered them . What's more is that she fought them while she was even weaker than the recommended level of power .
Welt wondered why Yuni , who could've turned them into elixirs , would refuse such an offer and thought she might just have the wish to avoid doping her body with buffs that aren't her own . Welt watched Yuni train her second account , seeing her regain all of her strength without borrowing power from other places on another screen .
' She's so much different from Ordo ' Welt thought and thinking back to watching these memories , Welt stared at Ordo as they hit the restart button " I'm really sorry for this Ordo " Zaun looked at the giant hourglasses in an outer area of his training site turn .
He remembered what Welt said about these hourglasses when Ceil asked about it " Those are the items I used to turn this world's time , All of them will turn when I want to turn time around " ' But there is one giant hourglass that seems different '
The hourglass felt extremely ominous to him , it possessed the qualities of evil and death . And that hourglass was fading , glitches and bugs were surrounding it and eventually it vanished from sight as all of the hourglass turned , indicating the progress the restart .
He thought of his other siblings , whom he has no idea where , but knowing Welt , they'll probably be fine .
...
Naul wakes up trapped inside a folder surrounded by information " What ? " He was extremely confused as to where he was and checked the condition of his body ' Nothing bad has happened yet '
A screen prompt from a program that he asked Ceil to make showed him the status of the folder he was in " Huh Conversion ? Conversion to what ? " he looked down and peeked through the numbers , letters , images and saw data crumbling into sand " Oh no " Naul looked around and took some of the steps he got from Mir as deposits and used the resource to create a path " Okay this should be the right one "
[ Lost ]
The path sends him off to another folder as he starts running up , seeing more of the information converting into sand from below . He exited the folder to reach an even bigger folder ' I'm gonna stay here for a while , but at least Lost will save me when there is a deadend '
Naul wonders what Rein was doing while he was somehow trapped inside this flood of information that's crumbling into sand .
Before time was turned , Ceil and Rein were walking around thinking of their next move ' Ugh I was planning to follow the country to visit the original realm of heavens , but I didn't think I would be stuck here ' Ceil posed for Rein to draw out as much of the angel's forms as possible .
" Can you carry that weapon that smites evil ? " Ceil had to comply since she also needed to know what kind of powers she had with all these until one of her eyes saw time turning back in one of the worlds .
' It's starting ' Ceil quickly thought of a way to escape and found the information flow " Rein Hold tight " Ceil grabbed her sister with her halos as they entered the information stream . They both landed on the stream as Ceil constructed a boat to get on . She looked at the images and hearing the sounds of the information being repeated towards them on the stream .
Rein covered her ears and Ceil produced a shield to silence the noises " WHY ARE WE HERE AGAIN " Ceil took Rein and teleported into the system files proper . While Rein kept asking questions , Ceil searched for Naul .
Her lore gatherers had suffered damage from the information flow that followed the reset . But she was curious why Welt was gathering that kind of information and among her lore gatherers , Rein remained intact because he was close to Rein and Naul's was starting to reconnect with him .
" This way " Rein followed Ceil because she didn't know which part of the system files she was in . The gatherer connected much faster as they closed in on Naul and finally , they found the folder he is in .
Ceil opens one of the halo's eyes to see Naul inside running as the folder turns into an hourglass " Naul is coming , he seems to have Lost challenge " Ceil said and she had Rein prepare some counter against Lost .
" Here " Rein gave Ceil a wayfinder program and once Naul was out , Ceil shoved the program into him before Lost could send him to another maze again " Oh you guys are here too " Naul said and felt his body weaken since he had yet to exercise .
He fell on the ground while Rein looked at him " You're weak " " I would be incredibly mad if I wasn't tired " he said while Ceil found her two other lore gatherers busted , with one hopelessly broken but still useful as a shield and the other with an opportunity to be fixed and reconnected .
...
Yuni was annoyed by the adjustments applied to her , it was very different now because these reductions were not like the challenges " UGH , that scumbag couldn't beat you in a fight , so they had to play DIRTY " Mir complained , but Yuni couldn't respond since she was trapped in that prison .
Only Mir could enter and exit that giant fortress at the moment " Uhm , World master Mir , is master okay ? " Damo asked , worried about Yuni " She will be fine , little feline . Your master is very strong , so just keep feeding the young systems "
Damo sighed and looked at the gelatinous substance that Limos was carrying on their back , according to what Mir said about this thing . They said it could feed a few of the systems like Vesol , but Damo couldn't take inventory of all of them and only knows how much they should cook in a day .
Although it doesn't stop Limos from eating the jelly , Damo wished that Naul were around to build whatever machine to handle this . But he continued cooking without any complaints and House helped him make the food , sometimes nabbing a few of the jelly for themselves .
Vesol looked at the well-cooked food after Damo served it and took some of the forgotten memories that Damo dropped ... Mir worked on their world , seeing that it was leaving after disconnecting all the bridges towards it .
' It'll come a bit later , but it will get to us soon ' Mir then meets with Vesol's physical unit " Will mom be okay ? " Vesol asked Mir " Of course she will be , she did a lot of challenges before . She'll get out of that thing over there " ' Still can't believe Yuni was able to construct a massive structure like this . Is that why she's entertaining to watch ? '
Mir knew about the users that Welt and Ordo invited into their worlds so they could gain more by providing some form of entertainment for them . Mir thought of how stupid that kind of thing was , but considering the nature of the resource that Welt wants , it would make sense for them to search for users .
But what is amazing is how they managed to get them in without spoiling their plan . They wonder if there was some sort of filter that censors clues that could lead them there or they somehow managed to convince the users not meddle with the looping world .
' I really have no idea , I'd better ask Welt about it . I might be able to find a way to make better step generators if I can make use of the users too afterall I did make a program with them even if I don't remember doing it . But I don't feel like letting my secrets out moreover , if these users knew about my origins , it might not be good for us '
...
Yuni finally got rid of a few penalties ' It's so well made , but now that I got my hands on these codes , I can start picking and poking around . ' Yuni tapped into the penalties and found that it was extremely well designed and coded .
' This feels like something that my kids could do if they worked together . But how would Ordo be able to make this , it doesn't feel like Welt's design , considering their nature as the reward . ' Yuni found that these penalties seem to reflect a lot like the talent penalty game , but just like the talent penalty game .
This program had an original purpose , which was tampered with ' I think the talent penalty game was supposed to make talents grow by giving them challenges that match their level . But the admin's hate changed that , so maybe Ordo did the same here ? '
Yuni recalled that an admin's desires could affect it slowly , but further changes like manual coding will be required if the admin wants to change it even further . She knows too well with how to code a program out of its original purpose , but this one doesn't give the impression of manual coding ' It doesn't feel like they did a good job , but it also doesn't feel like they did the job at all '
She doesn't know much about Ordo , but she could tell by the way the code is structured that it was changed from desire ' It reeks of greed and this amount of greed here feels long-term , even longer than the collector's oldest house . And this greed has been changing the program '
Yuni pulled out the history of the code using a program she based on Ceil's history and lore gathering strengths ' Now that I think about it , I never really knew how many times Welt regressed the world ? ' Yuni put that aside since they were already departing to return home so that she could hand over the management duties that had been holding her back to Mir .
It was also a form of a wedding ring that Mir had suggested , with Yuni's being the access to all the challenges she can get ' I'm pretty sure Mir doesn't know a lot about married life and is just making whatever changes they like to fit the culture '
Yuni swipes away the history of the code and opens the program that maintains the adjustments ' I could use what I learned from Balance's code to search around this , it is amazing that this code has changed so much . An admin has a lot of influence , but the world has a much bigger influence on the code , so it's weird for there to be a lot of changes from desire of an admin instead of manual coding . '
Yuni starts seeing the world systems as a sort of living being that can draw out resources from abstract sources like the difficulty of life or the cracks in materials ' It's amazing how they were able to do that , even if the systems that do this are rare , like Mir , Welt , that one with ruin points . Although the common ones seem to only work differently and just try to increase the world's overall power '
She thinks of the few that have a directive for strengthening their own worlds , so they can stay safe from unknown and external threats and then turns back to the matter at hand ' Well , this one , on the other hand , was built to fight something specific . It's kinda like that fictional group that protects the world by sealing the evil within it '
She felt happy knowing that a system was built just to keep her down , even though she had a part in building this system ' Wait , so does that mean I am the parent to this system ? ' Yuni wonders if she should be gentle with them because it was like her child .
' I'm pretty sure mothers have their baby inside them , not the mother inside the baby ' Yuni thought and Mir appeared " Yuni can you please focus on getting out of here ? I've already done the stirring to bring the main branch and my world to all those world systems that you say you have "
' They're a little in a rush ' " Of course I'm in a rush and why aren't you doing your text thing " Yuni stared at Mir for a while and Mir reacted from her unspoken words " Seriously " Mir checked the adjustments that were added " Oh looks like the adjustment controlled dementia is targeting the skills that make it difficult to fight you "
' So anything that contribute in a fight is sealed ' Yuni thinks of what is gone and asks for herbs " I'm really doing all the communicating here " Mir said , sensing Yuni's intent and they returned with some herbs and other ingredients .
Yuni tested it out and found that Dementia was hardly making her forget because fleeting memories was a duality of remembering and then forgetting . She even tested it out with other , more offensive weapons , but was gaining memories and forgetting them like normal .
" Doesn't seem like you have a problem with it " Yuni checked the dualities that she didn't have time to explore because she was given these adjustments .
" Seriously , why don't you want to use the sign thing ? It doesn't feel like that dementia adjustment would make you forget " Yuni showed it , but as soon as the text was written , it was destroyed .
" Oh anti virus " ' ? ' " Okay I'll explain . That sign magic you've been using is very close to the code that our systems are made of . It's not the same thing , but it's close enough to be deemed as a virus , although this virus is a bit harmless . I might have to get our kids used to harmless ones like these because dealing with these kinds of viruses is a waste of time even for me . "
' I think I remember that there is some science behind this kind of thing , like having children get used to dirt , because not all dirt needs to be dealt with that swiftly . I never found this problem with mine because all five of us keep hopping between accounts '
Yuni thought and Mir wondered why Yuni was taking a long time thinking to herself " I'll fix the overreacting anti-virus for you , so in the meantime , have fun dealing with that code there " Mir worked on controlling the anti-virus while Yuni explored the program , which was slowly evolving .
' How is this thing growing ? ' Yuni checks the sources of adjustments that the program was getting and found that it had exhausted all of the stored adjustments and is outsourcing the rest .
' It doesn't look like it's touching the ones I have , thanks to Monopoly's power hoarding everything I own . But it most certainly is getting some and it's also taking some of the dead souls that the demon realm is catching while drifting through space '
Yuni started hearing some souls produce noise to distract her and Mir quickly went to handle the task since the program was taking souls that were supposed to be for them and Yuni ' I got it ' Yuni used the crown of Monopoly " Oh thanks "
The souls were returned to the demon realm and Yuni thought ' You should leave this guy to me and handle the demon realm ' " Look , I know I could probably do that , but I already made those crowned demons handle it , they are supposed to be rulers only fitting for them to handle those kinds of problems . Made sure they were able to take care of all the dead that came in and as for administering challenges or punishments for my steps . I can do that later , right now you are the priority '
Yuni smiled " How nice of you make me top priority " " You got it fixed already ? " " Yep , all I had to do was make sure I do not gain memories of offensive skills that involve my voice , which made the program loosen the adjustments applied " " so you are intentionally forgetting ? " " Nope , rather I'm controlling fleeting memories to stop it from thinking combative "
Yuni chanted a spell and wove a shirt " see this one is completely harmless and I can even do the same for my own strength by knowing how to control it " " Seriously ? Is it that easy to overcome ? " " No rather , I just have to avoid thinking of fighting " Yuni summoned her inventory and synthesized soup .
" Hmm , that tastes good " " That loophole will get patch so you better find a way to get out of it " Yuni thinks about how the program works and said " I already got that figured out . I just have to wait until we reach back home " " as in your homes ? " Yuni nodded " I plan to use a random account to take my place in this adjustment prison , so until then , I just have to wait . "
...
Zaun receives his sharpened collapsible weapon and keeps it on his back " Is that a quiver ? " Naul asked and Zaun corrected him " No , it's a box for my weapon , it can fold into a spear or sword and if neccessary a staff "
Zaun flattened the box as arrows got out and the flattened box was folded into a spear then a sword " Ooh Origami weapons " Rein said excited about the design of the weapon " That is a quiver " " Also why are you here ? " " To enlist " Ceil said and Zaun grew confused since she tries to avoid any military whenever she visits a world .
" As for why , I needed to figure out why Welt is turning the files into something else , like those sands that you have " " Maybe it's for containing the strong ? " Zaun said " If that were the case , then it wouldn't have been so full of other things like history , people's personal life and might I add corrupted files that need cleaning " Naul offered, hoping that the disembodied voice that Rein keeps talking about would offer him the job to handle it .
" How did you even find this place " Zaun asked and the two other siblings pointed at Ceil " She got angel powers " Rein said and Welt's voice echoed " How did you survive the reset ? " Welt asked , worried about potential gaps in the regressions .
" It was hard to avoid it , so we had to follow the data flow that you were questionably gathering . We were experienced in finding that data flow on our own since we made plenty in our systems " Ceil said as the rest were surprised with her answering , but considering the situation , they assumed that Ceil intended to appeal to Welt .
' I still can't believe these children are all four ' Welt thought , but considering how strong Zaun was getting , they wondered if others could reach close enough " If you can match his strength maybe " " Then I am out of training " Naul said " I prefer working on programming and optimization , so you can leave that to me "
Welt considered Naul's suggestion since they only knew Nail through the memories , but they were aware of the numbers Naul brought in " Okay , I will try to introduce you as a manager for the users " Naul was a bit confused but went with the flow as Welt made arrangements .
" What are those users ? " " They are like readers , but they can spend to interfere with the story " Zaun said " You've been spending time doing other things " Ceil asked " It got boring just fighting , I needed to learn about other things or the thrill of a fight grows stale " Zaun said and they wonder what their mother was doing .
" What was mom doing ? " " She got rid of all the challenges she had " " Doesn't sound like a lot ? " Zaun said , holding the official storybook " Because mom intentionally left out mentioning other challenges " Ceil pointed out while Rein was looking around , drawing the sights of the realm .
" Mom pissing you off again ? " Zaun asked and the halos darkened to black and red as Ceil recalls all the plot holes Yuni intentionally left " Yeah it pisses me off with how she ruined the story through the horrible writing and missing pages . The premise was interesting , BUT SHE RUINED IT ! "
Ceil shouted as Zaun couldn't be bothered with how mad Ceil was ' As per usual , she is not letting it affect the narrative she keeps talking about ' Zaun wonders if Rein would even participate since she wouldn't willingly train herself unless it would make her account look good .
Naul , on the other hand , was moved to somewhere really close to the control room " Who is that ? " Ordo asked and Welt introduced Naul " It's someone outside our world , they needed a job , so I had them tested and learned that he's good at programming code "
Ordo paused for a minute and thought on how they are supposed to react to this news " Oh I thought you'd want me to get more worlds like yesterday " Naul was suddenly interested in it , wanting to suggest creating a compass because he was experienced in tracking good planets for terraforming , farming , those with world systems and whatever criteria he had for them .
" I do , but I thought I should also bring someone who can manage the many worlds we are getting ... While you were asleep , the demon realm branch and the country of angels disappeared " Ordo looked shocked , hearing that news and Welt excused it .
" I'll definitely get you more worlds to compensate " Ordo said , approaching Welt's incorporeal body and Welt bottled up the desire to push them away and said " Then I'm counting on you " Welt said and Ordo smiled .
Naul looked at Ordo , who left " That guy feels really greedy " Naul pointed out " I thought you were the same " Welt said , showing screens of Naul fascinated about the many gold " Ai ... that's a bit different alright , I like lots of things , but if there's too much they it breaks the virtuous cycle that makes products valuable "
Naul looked at the systems around " Your trades are looking horrible , I think I can take it if you expand my management to that " Naul suggested , already imagining a lot of new ideas " Really ? " " Yeah , Mom taught me a thing or two about connecting worlds while she was in training "
Welt recalls all the conversations that Yuni had with Naul , which had involved managing the trade between worlds and control over greed ... " Naul , if you hoard everything , you're gonna make a lot of people starve ... Kinda like how your mom was made "
Naul had a horrified look , thinking about another Yuni beside his own mother " I'll stop mom " ' I think that's how it went and then slowly but surely Naul learned the value of sharing and creating a tradeflow of goods between worlds . '
Welt granted Naul access and wondered what Yuni would've done . They've seen how Yuni appreciated the world and took care of them , eliminating any admins who twisted it to their desire .
' I've been envious of the world systems she left her accounts on ' Welt recalls the gallery of many worlds that Yuni has been through ' I wonder what she felt looking at those worlds ' Welt checked their storage , storing many points obtained from a person's emotions when they were rewarded .
Many of them had been used for Welt's own upgrades , but the one they found the least in abundance was those with qualities that showed happiness for the moment instead of the reward .
While they had capitalize an account's emotion by granting a reward , they could also capitalize on the lingering emotions that they feel . A reward was just the best way to extract it quickly , but strangely , after learning Mir's programs and ways of capitalizing an account , they've gained other sources to use .
And one of those was the emotions that an account feels in the course of an activity , like how they feel when they enter a forest whether it be marveling or fearing the environment , the thrill of a fight , the joy of learning little by little to gain a skill , investigating clues to get out of a maze and Welt always used a reward to gather the emotions in a bundle while losing some .
' So many emotions I couldn't reach without Mir's help . And somehow all those emotions are scarce in Ordo , even now ' all Welt could get out of Ordo was the anticipation of the reward they would see while they were out running around , plundering resources and trying to draw out the sense of reward from within to give to Welt .
There was too much greed mixed in that anticipation and Ordo would remain blind to the journey but would keep looking at the dimming light at its end . No matter what kind of world they bring , or which playthrough they took , Ordo remained the same , always looking for a rewarding golden chest that showed they worked hard to get it .
' I don't want them anymore ' Welt then thought of Yuni , who enjoyed the world without asking for a reward , but still braved through the harshness of the world . Welt felt too glad to know a person like her exist .60Please respect copyright.PENANARnAlzH9TpB
