Chapter 55: Creation

There are many stories of origin in the world of <NO>. However, players, or those who come from beyond this world alone, know how the world was actually created by many complex artificial intelligences by closely replicating the 'philosophical' origins of the real world.They did not create the world based on scientific origin– following the [Big bang] principle and starting the world from an original starting point.

The Creators of these AI models, the [Creators] of Twelve [Origins] of the world of <NO> did not stick to a certain 'Genesis' story that the scientists have speculated over the decades and centuries and went beyond it, took inspirations from the lores, myths, epics, philosophies of ancient times, and instructed the Superior, highly complex AIs with 'learning' capabilities to create a world that was as real as Reality, while at the same time, was as fantastical as the human heart's desire for freedom.

In the end, the models created the world based on some core philosophical principles that independently as well as collectively were necessary for the existence of this unique world– [Truths] as they are known today.

The natives who were originated at the end of an unknown time period's [Creation], [Destruction], and [Recreation], started their lives in a unique world, 'evolved' similarly to how the human evolution had taken place, and after a long time, they reached the point where the players entered their world– where the otherworldly beings who would not die even after being killed entered their worlds.

Unlike them, they did not age, did not get tired the same way they did, got stronger faster than they could, and after only a few months of their lives in this world, they got adapted into the societies that already existed there.

They were adaptive beings that the natives could not understand, but as time passed and the [Open beta] ended, they got used to these 'Foreign' visitors cursed by destiny, doomed for a more miserable life than the natives.

With time, the world evolved as well and when the regular players started visiting this world, it was easier for the natives to adapt to these unique beings.

There were some difficulties at the start, some conflicts that the players had to deal with by themselves, but… they were outsiders in a different world.

They needed to adapt, evolve, and do various things to also become a part of this world– and to assist them with it, to assist all natives in various ways, the [System] propagated by the [Origins] existed.

The [Truths] that this world followed were paths for the players. Walking on these paths granted them {Skills}, (Powers), <Titles>, and most importantly, a [Class].

The [Origins] who maintained these [Truths] were close to an owner of these truths, the ones who maintained various worldly functions based on these [Truths].

[Nature] was one of these truths, [Individual] was another truth– factually, there were more truths in this world than there were [Origins]. Thus, the [Freedom] to walk any path one desires, the freedom to do anything one wants without being restricted to one [Truth] was achieved.

And since the [Truths] existed, the world– under the 'maintenance' of the supreme beings, or [Origins]- existed as well.

They were creators, they were maintainers, and they were the destroyers.

{ "Answer me, oh follower of evil." }

When a player reached a certain level, or achieved a certain feat, or performed some unique actions that caught the attention of the [Origin], they were given the chance to obtain powers directly from them.

When a player willingly walks on a certain path, with time and right efforts, they would naturally reach a stage where they are able to access the [Truths] and gain powers from those universal laws.

And, since this is a game– if one is lucky enough, they can kill dragons even if they are at (Level-0), Go down to hell and come back at their will even without the qualifications or any Authority, or– become a god themselves.

The endlessness of possibilities was possible thanks to the [Truths]. But… understanding what this actually meant layer by layer would be more fun instead of something like this.

"The Guardian spirits of nature, beings who had received powers and immortality from [Nature] and reside in the world of spirits after their departure from the physical world… there is only one kind of skill that allows one to borrow the power of those beings."

No one knows why some individuals possess these skills, what the conditions to acquire these skills are, how one can grow it, or what one needs in order to use the full potential of these skills.

Aside from the one possessing these skills, no one even knows how important certain items are to realize the complete potential of these skills.

But, there are some people who do possess these skills. And, possessing these skills allows them to borrow powers of the Guardian spirits who reside in a different realm.

[ "How… how can something…" ]

If the power of evil is something that is meant to destroy this nature, the powers of Guardian spirits is what preserves this nature, and protects it against the evils of this world.

"The key to defeat the Mage was the guard captain."

She had a pleased smirk on her face right now.

The guard captain who looked just like a normal person, a tall and strong looking normal person akin to an experienced knight, had now turned into a tiger.

Yes… a green tiger.

{ "If you do not even know the [Truth] that has blessed you, oh follower of evil…" }

A green spirit beast, a creature that was three meters tall and so big that it was covering half the ground where the dead bodies of their fallen comrades were Thrown.

[ "No… no!" ]

The tiger was merely made of a green energy with the guard captain being inside of him, holding a floating Jade lotus in his hands.

There was a Mana crystal on the forehead of the creature. And right under this forehead, the creature's sharp eyes that seemed to be seeing right through the souls of all living things resided– a unique anger currently visible in them.

-Ooooooooooooooong.

The tiger was glaring at the dark magician.

And the dark magician knew that when he tried manifesting the strongest magic he had used until now.

{ "...what even is the meaning of your existence." }

"Everything is futile now."

She had seen the world defining powers of the person in the unified rankings, a player– a kind soul who weeped for the departed.

She was one of the strongest not because she had high stats, unique gears, or vast knowledge about this world… but merely because she possessed that one skill and had mastered it like no one else.

{ "What does your vast powers even amount to?" }

-Swish.

The guard captain was using that same skill in true meaning now.

There was no way a mere Dark magician of such a low level would ever be a match for it.

Especially, not a dark magician– an opposer of nature.
