The two systems gathered around their admins, who were both experiencing each other's memories " I'm so sorry , Mir " Welt cried out , but couldn't figure out where the tears were flowing out of " It's alright "
Mir looks at Yuni , wishing they had been around " I just had to be a good parent " they tried joking to lighten the mood " Do you think this would be fine ? " Mir asked and Welt thought .
" I'm not even sure , Yuni's desire corruption made her lose her memories , so she can start over . And Ordo's desire corruption caused this swap and there is another desire corruption taking effect on them , but I can't tell " Welt felt horrible for getting all these things wrong and grew depressed .
" At least we should keep her kids safe " Welt cried out " Welt be more hopeful , will you " " Mir as systems hoping is something very illogical " " I know , but ... hope is a variable that influences a lot of things . Like strength to continue " Mir said while they looked at Yuni .
" And I don't think it was the right thing to give Yuni her memories back " Welt could sense Mir's calm and lack of panic " Huh ? " " Yuni said she wanted to start over a new life with nothing . It's not a lot to give her Ordo's horrible life , but ... it's what she wants and Rein has said that my world was very beautiful and I'm sure she will enjoy it "
Ordo starts emitting some reward points from experiencing the collector's education and Yuni continues walking through Ordo's life " Look , both of them are in their respective youthful appearance despite experiencing different memories "
There was some different type of code corruption occurring from both the admins and the most it did was ensure that Yuni was experiencing a body that suits her and the same was said for Ordo " What a weird corruption , it isn't from a desire at all "
Mir starts rethinking about the code corruption they are aware of and Welt starts thinking about the differences " If there is this little change , maybe Yuni won't turn up like Ordo ? " Welt hoped and started to watch Yuni more closely .
They saw Yuni's journey and her diligence in learning the art of the walkers , the family that had grown their strength to walk many paths " That looks a bit different than what I remembered " Mir said as they also started to pay attention .
" This is strange " the memories that were once full of dissatisfaction were suddenly transformed as Yuni began to enjoy Ordo's memories " Wow " Welt couldn't believe how much the disappointments of Ordo's life that had turned them into the person they are had started to become appreciated through Yuni .
A lot of reward points were spilling from Yuni's life as she enjoys her new life to the fullest . Challenges in Mir's world were carried by Yuni when the walker was unwilling , but instead of thinking about the burden , she was thinking about the new experience .
What did it feel like to be blind ? Was staying in the bed for your entire life a different experience ? It didn't matter how difficult the path others walked was .
Yuni had a different view on the challenges , she didn't worry about being blind . She enjoyed the darkness it provided and the ease of not having to process visual information .
She didn't care how long she stayed in bed because she thought of her starting point simply being moved back and repaired her body bit by bit . She didn't try to silence the voices that she heard and continued to listen to them attentively instead .
The bitter memories continue to flow in , but after Yuni's experience , sweet new memories were replaced into it . Welt found joy seeing Yuni go through the bitter experience and find happiness in the paths .
While Welt enjoyed witnessing Yuni's journey through Ordo's memories , Mir looked at Ordo and found that they were already close to the moment where Yuni stole the potion .
Ordo eventually wins the fight against the collector and consumes the cauldron's contents . The desire corruption that had been in Ordo suddenly grew and reached out to catch something .
" What ? " a speeding object charged into the hourglass and Mir saw the talent that they had extracted from Yuni's account without the mini system holding it down enter Ordo . They looked at Welt and found that they were enjoying Yuni's memories so much and didn't want to interrupt .
' Seems like I'll have to handle this myself ' Mir looks at the damage and quickly calls the children to help " I don't have time to explain , but I need you to make these things "
Naul looks at the list and it starts to grow familiar as they go to the end " Wait is this part of giving mom her memories ? " " No , it's damage control , just figure it out . Ordo and Yuni swapped memories and Ordo is affecting it that they are taking real items in "
Mir looks at the firewall they've built around the first playthrough and thinks of the possible desire corruption " Yeah that might happen "
...
Welt was so happy to see Yuni still being the same , as she keeps up with her joy and appreciation for the world . While in the background , Mir was changing , opening up freeways so that the desired corruption wouldn't damage the code background .
They continued watching and sensed an opening about to appear " Oh , is this here because we edited the code for interference ? " Welt asked " Possibly " Mir looks at Ordo and found that they were also creating an opening for interference and Welt followed their sight .
" Ordo too ? " Mir thought of how Welt had enjoyed watching and said " I'll go play your part , you're enjoying watching Yuni . Plus , in this memory , the crack was supposed to open and Ordo took the one headed to your world "
Mir said and Welt looked at Ordo's opening and could feel Ordo's desire . It was the same desire that had brought Welt in " That's the memory where Yuni knew about me through the challenges "
Welt could feel Yuni's feelings through Ordo , but even so , they could easily tell that the feelings were a bit different , but different enough to convince Welt that the feelings had been changed by Ordo .
The memories didn't change Ordo at all , it simply weakened their desire for a reward because someone had satisfied it . They turned to Yuni and wished to visit them , but they also felt that Yuni was desiring something else .
Yuni was desiring to experience what was after the stairs and that place was Mir " Mir , let's go together "
...
Yuni climbs the stairs above the mountain's peak , leaving the children who had burdened some mothers at the foot , letting others take care of them . She eventually reaches the crossroads where the memory of this world is supposed to end .
Her thoughts were difficult to decipher as the voice flooded her mind , but she was pretty clear about her desire . Eventually , she senses two roads and could tell that each led to a different outcome .
' A choice ? ' Yuni was confused by why a choice was required and the voices started telling her about what each path leads to " Over here , you can gain a lot of things for all your hard work " " If you continue to our world , you can stay and keep learning about the different paths "
The Voices were trying to convince her what each path led to and at the end of the path , the system couldn't help but feel a little guilty . Mir didn't want Yuni to choose them because the memory's integrity would collapse . Welt also didn't want Yuni to choose them , but they desperately wanted her to do so because she was such a great person .
Yuni turned her head between the two paths and a strange glitching fire appeared in the hourglass , remolding the glass , stopping the memory sand from flowing into Yuni . Yuni faced forward with a question "Can I pick both ?"
The memory collapsed as Mir and Welt were ejected from the Memory and Yuni received her answer from the voices " Yes " Yuni stepped forward as the path fused together , leading her out of the memories and woke up in her body .
She sensed around and felt the two presences that were at the end of the paths "Did I choose correctly" Welt reads the text and wraps the code background around Yuni , closing in their being to the code that embraced Yuni .
" I'm so sorry " Yuni was surprised and Mir looked at the code that moved to embrace Yuni " I didn't know you liked her that much " "Where am I ?" Mir looks at the familiar interface they read often when Yuni had Silence .
Mir sighed and said " It's a really long story , Yuni " Mir could see the challenges that Yuni had in her memory stay active through Yuni's will " But it's important to know that what you lived through was not yours , it's theirs"
Yuni sensed Ordo and saw the hourglass that continued to flow and the rewards that were given to Ordo . The Voices challenges told her a lot of things that came to this .
"I understand the Voices told me all about it" many challenges that made Yuni strong continue to tell her more as her body starts to adapt to her memory stats .
Yuni stepped out of the hourglass and prepared for battle "I'll handle battling Ordo . Is it fine for me to step out of my path ?" Yuni asked Mir , sensing their existence as akin to the world she had lived through .
" Of course , you've done a lot for my world in the memories . So from now on you should be free from these chains " Mir said and after releasing Silence , Yuni said with much of her heart speaking .
" I don't think they are chains , they gave me a new experience everyday . Voices taught me to listen , Blind taught me the gift of darkness , Silence taught me to speak with myself to reflect , Burdens trained me and there are so many , I'm not sure I can remember and explain how everything trained me . "
Yuni felt all the challenges removed and she saw all the things outside . The new experience gave her joy as she began to process the information and peered into the code background . She stretched her body and watched the last sand of her memories fall into Ordo .
And once the last sand went in Ordo , a speeding file dashed through Mir's file freeway " Mom bad news , Ordo got the first playthrough memories " the file entered Ordo and their desire corruption spiked .
" WELT " Yuni produced a firewall around Ordo and immediately grabbed onto it " Mir I will need my challenges back " Gravity pushed them down into a crack and left them in the broken world that had time turning back and forth in different places of the world .
Yuni supercharged her fist with lightning as Ordo broke out of the hourglass " YOU " " Yeah , me " Yuni jumped and punched Ordo , but felt no damage pass through thanks to Ordo's equipment .
" YOU WON'T BE TAKING MY ADMIN SEAT " Ordo manifested code and Yuni equips her challenges as the Voices quickly tell her what the code was . Yuni bumps her fist together to produce a bright flash of light , blinding Ordo and she quickly uses the darkness the blind sees .
Ordo switched to the mind's eye and looked for Yuni " I see that you got my skills too " Yuni kicks Ordo with enough force to cause other hourglasses of the world's pieces to turn as their direction of time was going in various directions and send Ordo away .
Yuni hears the clues on how to operate the hourglass while Ordo bumps into the maze of strange spaces , some allowed them to pass , but some with incorrect movement of time , slowed their momentum , causing their speed to drop slowly as they tried to code but lose it from the dizzying direction caused by passing through different spaces with different direction of time flow .
They eventually slowed down and turned to see that Yuni was holding an hourglass , they instantly knew through the talent they gained in the memory that the hourglass was dangerous in her hands and teleported to Yuni and tried to grab it .
" Got you " Yuni tapped Ordo as their hourglass fell , preventing time from moving forward . They quickly tried to figure out how to get it to move while their body was frozen , but upon seeing the code that supported the hourglass was more complex than they had imagined , they grew confused and used desire corruption to simplify it to their terms .
" Even with my talent and experience , you're still too slow to notice ? " Yuni teleported away and brought another hourglass with her . She looks into the code that Zaun built into it " Suicide bomber programs " Yuni smirked and started adding more code and challenges to it .
" This won't kill you , but I'll get something off you " another file zoomed in and Ordo remembers the rest of the memories that Yuni didn't absorb . They looked up after regaining a forward flow of time and saw Yuni operating a cannon made through code and challenges .
" All aboard " several challenges were packed into the loading container with the planet core and were fired towards Ordo . Ordo tried to teleport but found a firewall between them and the system supported skills .
The Load of flames and code landed on Ordo first , burning all of their equipment and then binding them with challenges . Ordo felt a familiar burden fall on them as the noise loudly declared their opinion .
" Familiar ? It should be these are your memories " Ordo's desire corruption rose and they quickly opened a crack to another world . With the knowledge that Yuni had learned in them , they decoded the challenges and found themself in a massive cemetery full of colossi .
Yuni follows through and Ordo blasts a high-level magic . Suddenly , Nostalgia made them remember their fight with Zaun as Yuni was destroyed " Wrong memory " Yuni said , turning back the hourglass to regenerate and punching the magic , deconstructing it .
" Since I'm going to be like you , I better play the part " Ordo felt some form of sunction , but couldn't tell what it was until they fixed their sights and saw the memory sand from their time with Welt flow into Yuni " Oh fragmented magic ? "
Yuni looks at the fragmented magic circle and the lingering magic power from the corpses around " Oh , now I have an idea " Ordo quickly deciphers as many challenges as possible so it won't be with them , while Yuni starts drawing fragments of a magic circle from nature itself and says.
" I'm pretty sure there is a world , where magic was learned through nature just as we learned science through nature " Yuni started folding and unfolding the magic together seamlessly as the fragment eventually found ways to connect with the other fragments that she drew and formed a moving magic circle as it was already activated .
" Try this " the magic circle expanded and surrounded the entire world . Ordo was horrified by the amount of detail it had and saw parts of the magic formation passed through them " What ? "
" You don't need talent to be good , you need experience to process the information and create it with a vague goal , because anything you wish to make will not end up the same way as you imagined , because you always get feedback during the process "
Yuni felt the air grow more vitalizing as the air eroded the bodies of colossi and Yuni took a deep breath to fill her lungs with the bountiful air . Ordo figured out what Yuni was going to do , but among her memories , not a single breathing cultivation suited their bodies .
Ordo opened another portal to another world where the sun had once been deadly and called their familiars to that world to consume the vitality Yuni had released from her spell .
Ordo searched for the right spell to get rid of the air that was strengthening Yuni to a ridiculously high degree . But they couldn't be bothered to remember with Yuni's massive arsenal and quickly used desire corruption to morph the code of the world the flora had .
Vegetation erupted from that crack and started consuming the air . Yuni sends a few challenges to the growing plant as it stopped consuming the vitality in the air " What ? "
" Abstinence , an evolved form of sobriety gathered from many young children . In the end , it was just that their bodies couldn't handle eating certain food , but the world viewed it as refraining from eating . A bit messed up , but that's how your world is "
The plant starts consuming its stored nutrients and Yuni took that opportunity to extract the code . She also starts guiding the new vitality through her body , changing it as Ordo tries to figure out a move , but without a clear vision to defeat Yuni , their desire corruption had no direction , but it did give them strength .
They prepared a punch for Yuni , but as they punched , Yuni pushed it aside and punched them in the stomach , causing internal bleeding . The desire corruption took control of some of the flora as it broke down into cells to repair Ordo's body .
Ordo teleported atop the massive self-consuming tree , trying to process what Yuni just did and felt a familiar heat behind them and turned only to not see Zaun's burning hand .
Yuni took that opening and coded the air to lock itself from Ordo as they failed to breathe and fell backwards . Yuni took a deep breath and yelled " ORDO !!!! "along with that cry were emotions as Ordo failed to understand them and covered their ears .
A glitch starts to occur and Welt's voice went through " YUNI " Ordo couldn't believe what they just heard , Welt calling to Yuni instead of them . They had already experienced Yuni's memories to understand that Welt didn't want them , but hearing it directly from Welt themself hurt even more .
But they thought ' Maybe I wasn't a good person in the first place ? ' this time they started thinking about themself as a person . They always looked forward and looked back , but they could only think .
' My life is already so hard , why hasn't anything good happened yet ? ' Yuni started feeling Ordo's memories slip from her mind while Ordo continues to recall .
' I always kept thinking , my life will only keep getting harder , yet I didn't do anything . All I did was wait for someone to reward me , give me joy that I couldn't experience '
Yuni's body weakens as the body lose her guidance and she loses her experiences . Ordo looks at her and their first playthrough self , came out ' I want more ' Ordo breaks the air choke and turned their body . They manifested a magic circle and imbued it in their fist .
Welt had already reached Yuni and sensed the danger as their main body instinctively embraced to protect her . Ordo fell much faster and clenched their fist harder with a thought ' If I can't have Welt , neither can you ' Before the magic circle could fully activate , they froze in midair as Zaun turned their hourglass .
" REMEMBER ME ? YOU ENDED OUR FIGHT TOO EARLY AND THIS IS PAYBACK ? " he turned the hourglass and Ordo's thoughts screamed ' NOOO STOP ' Yuni felt Ordo's hold on her memories loosen and started strengthening Nostalgia with enough desire corruption as she replaced the lost memories with her original memories .
The glitching opening that Welt went through was torn open and Mir wrapped a firewall around Zaun and Ordo's hourglass . And the rest of his siblings started to reinforce that firewall just like they did with the one around the first playthrough memories from the glitched opening .
" GET OUT " Ordo's voice boomed with their desire corruption attached and broke Zaun's account . But his siblings grabbed his hourglass , turning it , undoing the damage he received " THIS THING IS SO STIFF " Naul complained " Less talking more turning !!! " Rein yelled back .
Ordo broke the firewall and wrapped lines of code around their hourglass , but Zaun grasped it too " COME ON MOM HURRY UP " Zaun grunted and his siblings grabbed the hourglass competing against Ordo for control over it " Thanks for buying me time "
Yuni pointed to the sky as the tip of her finger glitches and she drew a line down as Ordo felt the rewards they had consumed loosen as Yuni's talent left and several others started leaving " How'd you like my ultimate cheat code , cheater ? " Ordo felt their account weaken and lose all its power .
The glitching code seeps through Ordo and the line of code holding the hourglass as the siblings released it before it broke " Finally " Zaun was relieved of the burden along with the rest of his siblings and the two systems breathed a sigh of relief that it was over and let themselves fall into rest from overheating their hardware and software . Yuni walks over the broken hourglass and repairs it .
Ordo's body fell on the ground moving in the right direction of time , Yuni walked over , carrying their hourglass and returned it to them " Why ? " " Seriously , didn't get it ? But then again , you don't have my memories anymore " Yuni looked around , seeing everyone fast asleep .
" Wow , I must've missed a lot " Ordo didn't know what was going to occur next as they felt defeat weaken their resolve . It didn't even feel like a proper fight with them switching memories and experiencing each other's life while Yuni's children and the two systems were against them .
" Your life was hard " " I know , your life was a bit fun though . If only you could see it " Yuni said and thought of the formality of their conversation " Let me fix this place up " Yuni started using skills that her account shouldn't have and coded the surroundings to create a table and a box .
" Alright , time to answer your question "Why did Welt reject you ?" this set up should answer it " Ordo looked at Yuni and at the box " This is a random box that I made . Inside it is something I don't know . "
Yuni manifested a key and put it in " Now it's your turn " Ordo looked at a key in front of them and fit it into the box as it opened with a bright light revealing " A wet tissue " " Ahha that is so funny " Yuni laughed .
" Okay , now another one " they unlocked it together and it showed a high-grade handkerchief . Ordo was very clear with their disappointment , but Yuni said " Oh , this one is from a noble in your world . The design on it reflects the many challenges that the noble has taken for their land to improve the quality of their people's personality "
Ordo was surprised to hear the detail " Alright next one " a wooden plate that sculpted the scenery of a mountain was shown and Ordo couldn't understand what it is " Oh , this one is the sculpture that I found from a blind craftsmen "
Ordo didn't know there even was one and asked " How do you know about that ? Weren't you blind when you came to my world ? " " But these are from your memories " Ordo was surprised to hear it " was my world like that ? " " Yeah , didn't you know ? "
Ordo shook their head " No , I didn't indulge in anything ... at all " " Is it because of your challenges ? " Ordo nodded " I regretted getting the path of blindness because I could no longer see " " But didn't you sleep better ? "
Yuni said and Ordo understood what the answer was " Oh , I am not very appreciative , am I ? " " Maybe , I do know I continue to appreciate things . I can't use my limbs . I figure out how to heal them , I keep getting bad dreams , I learn to navigate them , making it much more fun than torture ... you get the point right ? "
Ordo nodded and Yuni thought " Oh , but if you want to start over , you can , I'm pretty sure you could've gotten by well if you were taught right . You did get great results under the collector " Yuni manifested Ordo's hourglass and said " Your choice " Ordo looked at it , understanding Yuni's intent and turned the hourglass .
...
Yuni walks along with her old family to the spaceship " So Ordo is turning a new leaf , it will take a while for them to forget completely because of all the memories they actually have and how many times they have resisted the hourglass , but it's definitely better than killing them and for them to come back to life later right ? "
" I think you should've killed them " Naul said " You get to kill Ordo when you get as close as Zaun had with them . So how's your new parents " " A bit more fun " Rein admitted , even though she doesn't want to .
" Are we going to that dead civilization ? " Ceil asked while hiding her excitement , but Yuni could see it " Nope , clearly ya'll need someone your age or close enough to learn to get stronger . " the thought of leaving the systems to the incompetent admins crossed Naul's mind .
" Wait , what about the admins ? They're going to ruin our future siblings " Yuni flicks his forehead , but Naul felt like she punched him in the face " Leave that to your elders " Yuni said
" Come on , we gotta leave soon and go back so that we can put together our worlds . So in the meantime , I can only hope you kids get someone who is just like you , young and talented "
Mir readies the ship and blasts the admins into the course home world systems , where they will wait for Welt to arrive while Mir helps around to get the worlds to move to Yuni's worlds .
