An Endless Journey Part 6

Pack (02/06)

NT: Doing these chapters makes me think of one of the negative points of the English Version of some novels. Which one is this? It is the fact that, after being translated, some words lose the impact they might have had originally. which words? The words written in English with Katakana. In Spanish this is still something I can deal with, since I can simply leave the word in English and add a furigana with the translation of it, but what about here? Here I can only leave the word in italics to point out that the word was written in English. I feel like that takes some of the impact that had originally thought he had the word

The Real World, Earth,And the Virtual World, Earth Clear. Earth Clear was an artificial world where, unlike the earth, the worst tragedy never happened. It was a place where humans did not lose all hope and could still live on the surface. And also, it was the last hope that humanity had left to one day be able to return to the surface of Earth.

At that time, when the worst tragedy occurred, humanity found itself completely defenseless at the catastrophe. However, they still maintained some hope. This was thanks to the evolved humans, who possessed a power far superior to that of the scientific weapons born as a result of the wisdom of humanity, which turned out to be completely obsolete.

However, the evolved humans, called transcendent one's, those super humans who fought against the worst tragedy, who were called in various ways. Mutants, Heroesand even New Humans, began to reach their limit.

But, thanks to the efforts of these super humans, who fought til their limit, humanity was able to find the greatest source of hope they could find. That was the birth of Earth Clear.

At the beginning, predicting that Earth eventually would become an uninhabitable place, Earth Clear was created as a virtual world were the humanity could escape to survive, even if they could only transfer their minds there, however, through the use of this virtual world, Humanity was able to create a mechanism capable of driving the human's evolution.

Originally, attempts were made to create artificial bodies with capabilities similar to those of evolved humans, however, because people lacked the intelligence and spirit necessary to control their power, they normally get out of control, crumble over themselves for not being able to withstand their own power, or it simply didn't even work since the beginning.

This was because these beings did not know how to use their bodies simply because they had never experienced it before.

However, thanks to Earth Clear, these would be able to correctly control their bodies by reflecting what they learned in Earth Clear in their true bodies.

However, when they suffered from too drastic physical changes, those individuals, who were made up solely by their spirit and memories in Earth Clear, could get to break by not being able to withstand the changes suffered by their bodies.

In addition, to create an evolved body, it was necessary to administer medications that promote its evolution while taking measures to avoid damaging the body. To increase muscle mass, in the same way that would be achieved through hard training, it was necessary to stimulate the muscles of the body to promote its evolution, however, this caused intense pain and damage to the body, which at the same time allowed to stimulate their cells regeneration as well as their recovery rate from fatigue, in addition, to the evolving bodies were administered different types of poisons to allow them to develop a certain immunity to them. In other words, in order to allow humans to evolve to a level where they managed to show a considerable level of power, it was previously necessary to make them go through numerous and painful procedures that would cause them intense pain.

However, if the subjects' bodies were exposed to such degrees of pain and tiredness without any warning while their users were in Earth Clear, it was possible that these were not going to endure this, which would eventually end up breaking them. Because of that, it was necessary to synchronize the treatments that were given to their bodies with the way they developed or the behavior they had in Earth Clear.

For that reason, beings such as the Monsters and the Demons were included into Earth Clear, and also a scenario was created in which people could choose the way in which they could become stronger.

However, there was still a problem. Even if the 10 million Humans who were inside Earth Clear managed to evolve correctly, it was still impossible to accommodate everyone here, in Earth.

This was due to two problems. First, in Earth was not enough food to support the 10 million people who were in Earth Clear. Second, the people who grew up in Earth Clear needed certain special medications to be able to live in the place called Earth. If they ventured outside to explore Earth without having taken the necessary medications to be able to withstand the sudden climatic changes, these would undoubtedly end up collapsing. And the medicine available to allow them to freely explore abroad was scarce, and also it took a considerable amount of time to create it.

Because of that, measures had to be created to ensure that only those people who have reached a certain degree of evolution could come to Earth, thereby restricting the number of people to whom they should give medicine only to those people capable enough. These measures were the creation of two specific objectives. One of them was the subjugation of the Demon King, which would prove that the person possessed considerable strength, and the second was the acquisition of 10,000 Golds, which would show that the person possessed great abilities in things not directly related to combat.

The only ones able to be summoned in Earth were those who possessed a strength and determination large enough to survive in a completely different hostile environment than the one seen in Earth Clear.

That would be the purpose of the existence of Earth Clear, the place where you lived

Everyone was speechless after hearing that explanation. They had never imagined that the reason they fought against Monsters was for the sake of developing their bodies.

So if we really were the inhabitants of a virtual world, then was it really necessary for us to die? Why Why should anybody die there!? Wasn't that completely unnecessary!?

Shouted Palna with a disconsolate look after hearing Cruz's explanation. Palna, who had lost the person she loved the most, couldn't help shouting that after knowing that the world she lived in was an artificial world where everyone was nothing more than beings without true bodies.

As I said before, it was necessary to synchronize the development of your bodies with that of your spirits. And that also applies to the damage that each individual receives. Besides it was impossible for us to save the 10 million inhabitants of Earth Clear whenever they were on the verge of death

Why? You should have been able to do something! You could have done something like, I don't know, like healing our bodies You could have helped by allowing people to heal automatically when they were about to die!

Of course, we could have included a mechanism like that if we had wanted to. But no matter how perfect we would like to make Earth Clear, we can't put more than 10 million people in it and someone has to die so that a new life could exist. That is why we create the role of Villager. Earth Clear was originally created as a peaceful place to which we could escape, so we included the role of Villager for those who didn't wanted to be involved in the fights and die

What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean!

If you are afraid of dying then you just have to stay away from things that could put your life at risk. I don't know what you're thinking, but if someone gets involved in dangerous things, it's because he's willing to die, isn't he? If you are upset because someone died as a result of its decisions, then you should complain to that person for exposing itself to danger in the first place

Palna's gaze clouded after hearing those words. It was just as he said. His Master died as a result of exposing himself to danger. They could be in a virtual world, but that didn't make it a less dangerous place.
