" Rein , can you fix this " Rein and Naul looked at the trade proposal " WHAT THE HELL !? " Naul yelled while Rein covered her ears " Don't shout so close to my ear " Naul put a fist over his mouth and took a deep breath " Fine , I'll fix it " Rein looked at the trade proposal and blurted out " Whoever made this is probably guillible and ignorant of how expensive this trade is "
" This is more than what we should offer . Are they trying to squeeze us dry ? " Naul complained ' no rather Ordo just does not value what we have or maybe they don't even care . But did they try to make this trade agreement because they felt their position was threatened ? ' Welt contemplated , worried about the sudden butterfly effect this could lead to .
The two siblings worked on the problem and Ceil looked at Welt , sensing their worry " Something the matter , world master ? " ' It's a really fitting name that the people who learned of the world systems gave , but it's a bit disappointing to call the systems of the bigger worlds legacies since they only control a part of that world '
" Oh sorry it's just that the admin ... made a deal without consulting with us , offering a lot to the world that they intend to bring to ours " Welt said and Ceil recorded that manner of speech wondering if there is some way she can associate it with a way of speaking that was found in welt's world , but considering how old they actually are she needed to stretch her research far beyond the origin world .
" It's not their fault , the admin is supposed to be a person who produces the most system resource no ? As long as they keep being active and remain an abundant source of system resource there is no complaint "
' At least that's what I think is the minimum requirement and it even feels like Ordo is not meeting that requirement at all ' Ceil had a look at the system resource after Welt decided to expand her work to that part of the system .
She found a lot of use for the ones that were the main product of Welt as a system since there were already a lot of instances when Welt could use it . These resource called rewarded but sometimes she associates it with other words like validation , satisfaction or the like .
' But not much use for this other resource ' Ceil wished to ask that question and with Welt's mental age , they could sense that they might have figured out a way to utilize it , but something was stopping them .
She looked at Welt while Naul showed the adjustment proposal in a very enthusiastic manner , leaving Rein to renew the trade proposal to much more favorable terms " That is an interesting proposal " Welt said and Ceil turned her sights to spot Ordo fiddling with their fingers and extra ones that were filled with rings that provide buffs .
' Normally , a ruler would be worried about their power being usurped ' she wonders if this would proceeed similar to how the other world politicals does , because from her observation on the files about ordo, she can tell that the admin powerful as they are , they do not have a great character , which is why Welt is trying to get rid of them .
' However , it doesn't look like they are anxious or anything . Is it because Welt kept telling them that admins don't have the responsibility to improve the world system ? I mean , Welt is wrong because we have been coding the world system with whatever we like or maybe it's different because Welt isn't like the systems at home '
Ceil was confused by the big difference in her understanding and thought of the restart button , wondering why Welt didn't just reverse time much further back ' Maybe it has to do with the problem of when they were born ? Can I even say being alive is the same as being born when I'm talking about systems ? Mir had been adopting the systems and they all acted more alive than cold , thinking programs '
There was a lot that she had to know to get a full picture ' I'm already putting my all to it , but still I can't believe there are so many regressions and considering how Grasil's world is just one of the many worlds that came here , I can't exactly use that as a base '
...
Ordo listens to Naul's proposal of generating the adjustment system so that they can ensure that the players have something they can look forward to and to adjust the rewards so that they can ensure that the rewards are not too much .
' These programmers that Welt bought in are great , but I feel like they are spending so much time with them ' Ordo wonders if what they learned about the admin being the main capital of the system's resource was even good enough to get close to Welt now that the three children are interactign with them more even providing suggestions to boost Welt's passive generation of rewarded points .
' I remember that Mir desired me thanks to the many paths I walk ' Ordo recalled the stairs that gave them a burden for each step they took . Back then , they couldn't be bothered by it because they were already walking several paths , so the burden placed on them was negligible .
But with each step they took , they recalled a feeling of dissatisfaction and lack of compensation , it came from how difficult their life was and that no matter how many paths they walked with steps heavy from burden , there was no reward at the end to compensate them .
So when that feeling reached its peak , they found Welt , who opened a way into their world . At first , they were quiet , but gradually they talked more to them , rewarding them by releasing each challenge and showing how much power they actually have .
They later learned that they couldn't easily keep this power if they had chosen to be with Mir . But not only did they keep the power , but they also kept growing under Welt's world .
But they weren't called Welt until that day when they started to feel more alive . They continued speaking with some distance and proposed bringing in worlds so that they can better reward them .
' Then we continued bringing worlds every day , spending a lot of time together until that day' Ordo recalls the time it felt between each time they bought a world after that day because of how much effort Welt puts into their own secret work .
But every time Welt tried again with whatever secret they were hiding , they would always be busy , only giving Ordo a little bit of time to put themselves in Welt's life ' How long will it take for you to show me enough desire for me as Mir had ? '
...
" Ordo probably would prefer junk food over healthy food " Mir wanted to hit Yuni after she had mentioned so many analogies to represent Ordo " Can you just stop talking about them already " " Okay , but we are close to home right ? "
" I think so , do you think you can send a message to ask for a welcome instead of a demonstration of the system's defensive capabilities ? " Mir said and Yuni made a private call and called Ekins .
" MASTER ADMIN , IS THIS YOU ? " Yuni heard Neslihan's voice " Uhm what ? " " Oh , thank the lord , you're back . I was really worried about being left in here " " Yeah yeah , now let's get the introduction in the way "
...
Neslihan looked baffled at Mir's presence and trembled , sensing their origin and level of existence " M-master admin ? " " It's a bit hard to explain Mir's existence , maybe think of a baby being able to think for itself after it develops ? "
" You're implying it takes forever for a system to develop self-identity " " Am I wrong ? " looking at how casual the two were , Neslihan assumed they had a steady relationship and then Yuni said " By the way , I'm married to them now "
Neslihan was baffled to hear that news , all the admins that once proposed to Yuni had been shot down , but if this was her standards then it was starting to make sense " And before Ekins does anything else , tell them not to send some concubine position application or whatever those kings call it "
" Uhm ... I'm not sure how to tell you this " " Tell me what ? " " Ekins went to look for you and hasn't come back "
...
Ekins looked around and checked to see if their memories were still intact ' Oh my gosh , what was that ? ' Ekins recalled their memories being pulled into some file , but had a program switch their memories with backups .
' Is this why anyone who enters sometimes gets booted out with no memories ? ' Ekins thought as they walked around with a new account ' Ugh this feels so weird , it's my first time using a human body '
They recalled all the techniques that Zaun drilled into them at Naul's request incase Ekins was kidnapped ' It all had to be human compatible . Why can't they diversify it more ? ' Ekins checked their accounts' strength and wondered if the four were booted out or not .
' If they were , I would be dead unless I searched for Master admin first ' Ekins thought they might be better off looking for Yuni ' Speaking off , what is actually happening here ? I've been looking all over this system trying to find either of them , but I only found the Master admin's storybook '
Ekins worried that they might not be able to find them and was also annoyed by how they couldn't read the rest of the chapters before the book got erased by whatever event that tried to take their memories .
' I haven't been on the field for a long time . But maybe she can publish a book soon ? ' Ekins hoped that was the case and kept searching . Neslihan explained to Yuni about Ekins ' Okay , that might be bad , Ekins probably has a lot of programs to counter whatever memory loss by preparing a backup just in case and they might figure out the recurring present over there '
Yuni still doesn't know what to call that world , which keeps looping to achieve a result and the best example that she has was games she played " It is a bit weird for Welt to be stuck in that loop they put themselves in "
Mir looks at the reference appearing on the screen that Yuni was basing this assumption on " Might be because real life is much more different than these games Rein made you play " " yeah but there are also other games that make you play again , but depending on the run you had in your first playthrough , it could affect the next one "
" That kind of game sounds more realistic since Welt has been failing so many times " Mir said and Yuni remembered that Mir was starting to remember memories of the other playthroughs " But what kind of effect would it be , I think there was an instance where you use it to undo a death , but that didn't feel like it happened to Welt "
" We'll figure it out , so go look for an account that can work " " Alright alright , I will get to it ... Neslihan , gather some of my accounts . This might take a while " Mir wondered why it would take a while , but when they started to look at all the accounts , they understood why .
" None of this can identify as Yuni " " I know right ? Even though I created the character account , I only stayed in it for a while . Moreover , the older accounts hardly have a part of me , while the newer accounts have a part of me , but it's too little "
' Did she assume that after I told her how an account can have a part of her depending on the duration of her stay and use ? ' " So I figured we'd have to fix it , but slicing up the parts of me and forming a "Yuni" "
Mir wondered how long that would take and couldn't just rip out the adjustments that were placed on her after confirming that the system controlling the adjustments would be part of the family " Do you think a ship of thesues would work ? "
" It's the best option , plus , wouldn't you want another Yuni ? " " No , I wouldn't want it . But if you were to make another you , that would require patching up the gaps between the parts of you that each account possess " Mir looked at the incomplete memories .
" I can use this to create a duplicate , however , it would be the you before . And at best it wouldn't have a self at all but an auto-responding program with complex code in it " Yuni thought it was good enough and old Neslihan .
" Okay , bring us to the dumpster " " Dumpster ? " " It's in the birthworld , it's where my kids got rid of their first accounts because they didn't want their achievements to be linked to their talent . It contains a bit of me or that's what the system thinks . And at least this time , they will know that their growth is purely theirs when they learn about how they can shed that talent "
Mir thought of those kids and wondered " Would the systems also have talent ? " " How would we know ? They are very unique and only now did I learn they can be alive and speak as a person would . " Yuni said and Mir thought of the long road that the civilization took to be able to assess a person's capabilities and body function .
" I guess you're right , I'll just have to do my best to teach them " " I know a lot of ways to help , I am a pro at coding . We can even teach them about code , which is like a system biology for them "
Mir looks at the history of coding that Yuni has and searched for the history of changing the body " Isn't there a history of errors when it comes to changing one's body ? like the ethics behind GMO , Necromancy , the errors and insanity that came with trying to give an animal intelligence ? "
" Yeah , but I'm not the one who has that history , I learned from it instead " Mir sighed and wondered if they should just omit the details of the errors " Hey don't withhold information from our kids , they need to know what's not good for them "
" I guess so , let's just make that Yuni of Thesues already " " Is that gonna be the project name ? " Mir showed several names that the civilization had used on the projects " Yes , many project plans were named after culturally relevant figures and names in that civilization "
Neslihan continued listening and finished making a shortcut to the dumpster . When they arrived , Mir was baffled by the number of accounts that were thrown into it . In their view , they could see numerous prompts with unique designs corresponding to the system that created them .
But in Yuni and Neslihan's eyes , this place was a massive tomb full of coffins that each contain one account " Alright let's get digging "
...
Naul slammed the last code into the program and fed it into the world's reward system " YESSS ALLL IN A DAY'S WORK " he yelled with much excitement from seeing his program work its magic , limiting the item's power .
" Take that , you weak players " he felt thrilled seeing the numbers of active players rise due to the continued quest that they have to take to unlock the item's powers . There was the energy that was input to restrict the item's power , but there were also more opportunities , thanks to the limitations .
' These keys that unlock the item's sealed power could be useful to direct certain players ' Welt taught and Welt looks at all the data gathering programs that Rein had fed into the system ' We're making more progress than I thought '
Welt could connect players to better form parties that are more guaranteed to survive thanks to the programs Rein made and they were able to direct the world's development direction using Ceil's program , which gathers a lot of data on how far a world has developed in terms of the technology , magic , social and political environment .
There was so much data that Welt could work with to speed up the training of certain players to finally get rid of Ordo . And at that time , Ordo felt Welt's happiness ' What ? ' Welt turned their attention to Ordo " What is it ? "
Ordo froze , wondering why Welt was happy in the first place " Nothing , I just want to ask if there was anything I could do " Welt looked at all the quests that they could send Ordo to better feed into the false lie that the admin acts as a major source of system resource .
" Then here , can you take care of this for me " Ordo looks at the quest " Oh , you want me to get rid of this colossus monster ? " " Yeah , it's been occupying a huge territory and it has been trying to cling into it's life . I want you to make sure it dies so that I can process their soul into a new body and so that their body can enrich the ecosystem there "
Ordo felt glad to know they were needed " Okay , I'll get rid of it " " And make sure it doesn't destroy the environment " once Ordo left , Welt went to Zaun , who was still fighting nonstop with half his brain asleep .
He was also fighting some other regressors that made it to this point ' It really is feeling like the one ' Welt made them stop the fight and produced a screen that showcased how Ordo was fighting .
Zaun woke up completely and looked at the massive , colossal turtle attack with a breath that blasted the concentrated force of a flood . Ordo defended with a massive shield and he already started criticizing it .
' That's a basic shield that cushions the attack . Ordo can still feel the force of it , so other than not getting wet , that shield is useless ' after the turtle finished the attack . Ordo fired a massive fire spell , but the turtle just hid inside , projecting a shield to protect itself .
' That was a horrible attack , doesn't Ordo see that the turtle can do that ' Ordo then flies towards the turtle , intending to throw a spell into the shell , but the turtle's head poked out and went for a bite .
Ordo backed away , nearly getting their leg chewed while the turtle prepared for another breath attack with fire instead ' Does he not have teleportation ? ' Ordo took the hit and Zaun saw several items taking effect , reducing the damage .
' Overreliance on gear ' Ordo then fired back a blizzard spell towards the turtle's mouth ' the mouth is still warm and ' the turtle was able to take the blizzard as steam poured out of it's mouth .
' I would've chosen to use light or darkness instead of elemental attacks , since the turtle has high resistance to natural elements . But Welt said Ordo is a transcendant with a chaotic nature , maybe they chose to be stupid or are they testing the turtle because they can't appraise it ? '
Suddenly , Ordo created a magic circle , but what baffled Zaun the most was how the circles don't align ' What ? How is that possible ' Ordo magic circle looked like a cloth made of patches of fabric that didn't complement each other's design .
Ordo pointed it towards the turtle and fired it as several types of attacks flew to it ' no each of those attacks is partial only ' Zaun separates the magic circle's components and identifies them .
' That one increases ignition , but this component over there sharpens a sword , that other one increases the density of materials ' he continued , deciphering each component as Ordo cast more sending attacks that were unpredictable for the turtle .
They hid from Ordo's barrage of unidentified attacks as Ordo made another attack , this time with several items glowing to strengthen it . There was no compatibility between these segmented spell circles , but Ordo sealed it inside a barrier and flung it into the turtle's barrier .
Zaun watched as Ordo made more and more of these random attacks ' It's so RNG-based , but if you try it several times , it's bound to work ' the barriers latched onto the barrier , giving Ordo an idea of controlling a little bit of the chaos within their barrier to pierce into the turtle .
" woah " it was like watching a strange parasite trying to pierce the skin of an animal . the chaos that Ordo forced into their barrier was starting to pierce into the turtle's barrier . Ordo touched the turtle's barrier and took control of it while strengthening it so that the attacks would remain inside .
' That's a rebound enchantment ' Zaun watched several attacks bounce back and forth between the turtle's shell and the sealed barrier . Eventually , the shell was starting to break , allowing the attacks to harm the turtle .
' It's more methodical than blasting it apart , but it's so inefficient in energy cost and time ' Zaun wondered if this had to do with Ordo's past walking several paths , which limits their opportunity to understand how to use their full power effectively .
The attacks continued as Ordo added even more spells to enter the barrier , like self-preserving ones that would repair itself from the energy found in the environment ' That spell is also weird , but it works better than what they had before '
As more of these self-preservation attacks entered the barrier , the turtle was starting to notice that it couldn't get out and struggled outside , but Ordo stopped it and kept it in ' I can't let the well be destroyed '
They watched the show as the turtle's struggle slowed down and finally it died from bleeding , poison , heat , cold and so many more status effects that they were overloaded . Ordo was happy to sense that the turtle was dead and looked forward to the reward Welt had likely prepared for them .
Zaun turned to where he could sense Welt's presence and felt the system's fear .
...
The turtle's soul was recovered but severely damaged . Naul complained about being in charged off handling such a thing " Why didn't you just send Zaun to do it ? He can wipe out that guy's neck so the soul isn't this badly damaged "
Welt prepared the reward for Ordo , trying to tune out Naul's protest " Can you just seal the power of this " Naul looked at the shield and entered the program into it " There , it's a bit weakened with some cracks purposely formed "
Welt noticed another system's code and wondered if this was one of the systems that Yuni had encountered , but before asking about it , Ordo arrived " Welt , I did it , I got rid of the massive turtle and I even grinded it to make it digestable by the ecosystem "
Welt puts on a fake front and says " Oh , that's great . Here is your reward " Ordo looks at the broken fragments " Its defensive qualities are weak and divided , but it is useful to fight against multiple attacks coming at you " Welt says , trying to ensure that Ordo is pleased so that the lie isn't revealed .
" Oh really ? " Welt nodded and Ordo took it with pride " Thanks , Welt " " You're welcome and since you defeated it that way here are some defense stones " Ordo took it while Naul wondered if promoting this behaviour was good .
" World master , where should I put the soul of this turtle ? " " Can I have it " Ordo asked and Welt tried to say no , but Ordo kept talking " You said you were going to process it into a new body , why not use it on this " Ordo showed the fragments that form a shield , getting close to Welt and Welt couldn't say no as they wanted to push Ordo .
" Fine , but as usual , I need some payment " " Of course , take all of these other shields , I don't need them " Ordo said as Welt fed the two materials together , pushing the weakened soul into the fragment shields .
' Oh , it is so nice ' Ordo said and Welt could feel a lot of satisfaction from Ordo ' They really don't like their old things ' Welt put away the other shields that Ordo didn't want and Ordo proceeded to strengthen the shield with the defense stat stones they just got .
Once Ordo left to use the rest of their defense stones , Naul asked " I don't think it's okay to use that weakened soul on that shield " Naul said and started detailing why so that Welt would consider .
" I'm sorry , I was a bit hasty " Welt apologize which surprised Naul because he thought that Welt did it because they weren't aware that using one soul was bad for an item that can be split ' You mean they got emotional ? Why ? ' Naul wanted to call Rein , but she is too busy and put that idea at the back of his mind .
Welt shivered at how closely alike Ordo was to the first playthrough and that hope that they had turned to desperation for a moment ' I need to get rid of him in this playthrough , who knows what might happen next '67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8htLAGJFA
