Haroon

Before daybreak, an invitation to a large meeting was issued in the name of the First and First Crown Princess. The invitation was about the dungeon.

It is known to people that Harun led a squadron of thundering mercenaries came back from a successful negotiation between the Elves and the Dungeon.

“Will I be able to enter the dungeon now? ”

“Yes. I don't know what the outcome of the negotiation was, but I think the atmosphere is good. ”

“I hope the results of the negotiations will be announced soon. ”

“I see.”

The attention of those who gathered at the Treasure Basin was drawn to two prince factions situated right in front of the dungeon. The conference, which was scheduled for two days later, had already attracted the attention of people and all sorts of speculations were being overwhelmed.

The dungeon is now completely over with them. The attention of those who were attracted to the gale mercenaries responsible for negotiating with the Elves has soon moved on to two factions with the most powerful forces.

Harun, who entrusted them with everything about the dungeon, was able to spare a full night with a calm mind. He said he needed that much time to persuade the princes and lead the settlement for the rest of the place. The actions of the nobles in Beyond have always been so cautious and slow.

Now, the attention of everyone gathered at the Treasure Basin has been directed to the factions of the First and First Empress. Some of them knew the truth about negotiations, so they sought out Harun and other storm troopers in secret, but they found no signs of a gust.

Harun disassociates himself as Debron leaves after receiving his messenger sword by dawn.

“Let's learn some messenger skills in real life. ”

After moving, Bell and Azman advised them to take the time to adapt to the environment outside the barrier, including reconnaissance. It's not here that he lives in anyway, it's reality. No matter how much Bell's power exceeds the capsule's limits, there is a part of reality he must strive for.

“Brother!"

“Master!”

Back in reality, Bell and Azman greet Harun.

"Hehe. I think I finally have a family. ’

Of course, Bell still welcomed him, but one and two were different. Harun was already in a good mood because he welcomed him with a smile like the head mistress of the household.

“How did you get out? ”

Bell clings to him.

And I said, "Yeah, I don't want to elaborate, but I think I'll have about five days. In the meantime, I want to practice my new sword and scout the area. ”

“Heehee, that's great. Play with me. Take care of what I made. ”

It was Belle who looked at Harun with a face who was reluctant to be praised for what she had just made.

“Got it.”

Harun grins as he strokes Bell's head. Azman folds his arms and whispers at Harun's side.

“Master, I have business to attend to. ”

“What?”

“I have something to discuss with you about the cyborgs we're going to be producing. ”

“Really? Okay. I'll wash up and come out. Let's talk slowly. ”

Harun gently sprinkles the two women and heads to the bathroom. It was okay for Belle to be completely attached to her sister now, but Azman couldn't get close enough.

After simply washing up, Bell was waiting for clothes to be worn. Ordinary clothing received from Bell is tunic-like, so I felt good because it was breathable and fit.

“What do you think, brother? ”

“Great. Where did you get that? ”

“Heh heh. I made it for you. And of course, I looked at the data and I determined the design. ”

“You're good. I love the color and design. ”

“Hehehe.”

Bell sighs happily and guides him to the restaurant. Azman was already preparing the dishes in the restaurant.

“Hehe. What's that smell? ”

The spicy and sweet smell pierced my nose.

“This is my sister's best food. Kimchi stew?”

“Hoho. Stew? Kimchi stew?”

Harun's eyes widen. His steps lead him to Azman. Boiling was red meat, vegetables, and soup that was spitting just by looking at it. Food in this age was almost processed, and raw food, including fresh vegetables, was so expensive that it could not bear to live well.

Harun closest to the boiling pot. Boiling in the pot was the typical of the end times‘ kimchi stew ’, which he had rarely eaten, or is hard for the current Union residents to see.

“How does Azman make all this food? Where did you get the ingredients? ”

When Harun asked, Azman answered with a polite smile.

“The ingredients are from a first-floor greenhouse. At the end of the previous apocalypse, the pollution was so severe that we used to build little greenhouses on the veranda in every house and grow vegetables like this. And that tradition continued into the early days of the human race. Kimchi stew was also popular among the residents of Kowon Union during the early days of Humanity. There weren't a lot of other species like Hark at the time, so the deal with the outsiders was pretty active. ”

Then I was curious.

“Then why do the outsiders stand outside the barrier? ”

“There are several causes. First of all, some of the outsiders went through a dark period from the end of the Human Age to the end of the human Age, and even though it was a contaminated, harsh natural environment, they survived, and they were adaptable to a certain degree, and they didn't feel the need to enter the barrier because they had built their own foundation. These are representative of the villages of Science, the villages of the furnace, the villages of various mining villages. He was reluctant to enter the land that had already been designated and to compete intensely in narrow places. ”

Even if it is like Harun himself, he can live freely enough outside, but he did not want to enter the place where identity society had already been formed.

“The second group was the ones who refused to accept it at Union. Scientists and entrepreneurs are potential enemies of the Union's dominant force. who had high scientific knowledge or skills or a lot of goods, but were tamed by the idea of democracy that was prevalent in the early apocalypse, only by their ability to break the union-defined system of enlightenment. ”

This is the kind of reality that political criminals often talk about at Union. They had to be strictly managed or exiled from the barrier.

“The third is that some mutant organisms that are genetically compatible with humans, either with Org or have mutant genes for some reason. Once mutated, the gene became more dominant than the original trait, spreading the mutated gene so that union rulers could push them out of the barrier and not let them in. ”

In Azman's explanation, Harun nodded and ate a spoon of spicy stew soup.

“Hmm, delicious. ”

This was the first time. The aroma and taste of rich meat and vegetables stimulated my mouth, and I felt a spicy and bitter feeling through my throat.

“Go ahead and eat. Let me know if you have any questions while you're eating. ”

I tried the steamed rice and stew from Azman's suggestion. He used to eat like this until the early days of the old Humans. The flavor and flavor were completely different from the current instant foods.

When I started eating once, I couldn't pay any attention to anything else. Seeing Harun's focus on eating with awe, Bell and Azman expressing their satisfaction.

After eating all the rice and kimchi stew, Harun tapped his stomach and drank a cup of tea.

“I don't envy the world at all. It's not just that I'm full, it's like everything is full and there's nothing missing. ”

I didn't think this should simply be called satiety. Happiness or satisfaction. It was a strange feeling for Harun because he had never felt so greedy or sad about eating, wearing or sleeping.

In addition, after drinking Bell's tea, there was nothing to envy the world about. Now I knew why people were so obsessed with eating. That's why a lot of people go to the black market. It was now understandable that buying vegetables or foods grown outside the barrier was expensive.

Harun doesn't finish his tea at Bell's root, but goes down to her workshop. There were several sterile facilities in the workshop, and there were several seemingly fleshy ones being cultivated.

“What is this? ”

“Yes, it's a kind of biocomputer with a biochip. ”

What are you talking about? In this case, it is regrettable that learning is short. Bell notices his aura and explains it in a lively voice.

“Normally, computers are mainly silicon-based semiconductor devices. ”

“I know that. ”

“Early in the apocalypse, a new computer material was developed that applied genetic engineering. We make substrates out of proteins, we apply genetic engineering to them, we put organic molecules on them, and then we make circuits out of amino acid bonds, and we use enzymes on the switch circuits. The cell structures that make up my body are made up of this technology. ”

“Why do you have to make it so complicated? ”

Whatever that ingredient is, it's not human. But then Bell explained, and it sort of made sense what a biocomputer was.

“Attempts to make biochips of the same tissue as human tissue have been studied throughout the apocalypse. Pattern recognition, especially in the brain of a human or animal? Learning? Remember? Reasoning? We want to apply highly intelligent processing, judgments, etc., to computers. This biochip can increase the density of the integration, so it's tiny? High-speed computers are now viable. And while this knowledge and technology is being conveyed today, research and technology, such as manufacturing conditions and interworking with external control systems, cannot be put into practice. ”

“So you can make it? ”

“Haha! Of course, brother. Who I am. I couldn't before, but I was able to restore it with the materials and technology that Azman's sister had. ”

Bell's explanation was far-fetched, but Harun understood a part of it. The most important part of the brain was also made artificially using biochips.

What Bell created this time was a bioneuroNeuro computer made of bio-circuit elements that mimic the brain and nervous system of a living organism.

It was said to combine neuronal neurons, neuronal neurons, with processing elements that mimic synapses synapses, the junction of brain cells, into input and output wiring that mimics synapses synapses, which are utilized in artificial intelligence fields such as pattern recognition, speech analysis, language interpretation and self-learning.

Listening to her explanation, I thought, maybe humans were not created by God, but by which higher life was produced in the laboratory.

In the old apocalypse, some theories confronted the religious and scientific world about the origin of man. Among them was the theory that aliens created humans.

“Anyway, we Belle are amazing. ”

“Phew! Right? Maybe soon I'll have the same flesh as you. ”

“That would be great. We play games together, we go outside. ”

“I'm working hard to do that. There are so many things I want to see and experience with you. ”

The goal was to have another body isolated from the body in which the bell was encapsulated. I wanted to spend more time with Harun.

“So Azman is also a biocomputer? ”

She said, "Yeah, my sister's a prototype, so 90 percent is bio-chips, and the other 10 percent is nanosemiconductor. But unlike me, it's possible to change your appearance. Of course, it's impossible to have a body other than a body like mine. ”

Harun wants to ask more questions, but even if he hears the answer, he will not understand. I was happy to just follow the bell and watch her biocomputer and hear its functions and future roles.

Bell was excited just to show Harun the biocomputer parts she had worked so hard on and explain. I moved vigorously with the idea of seeing the outside world with those parts and making almost the same flesh as humans.

Harun, who was dragged around by Bell and watched her research, was only able to get upstairs two hours later. Inspired by Harun's encouragement, Bell, of course, heads back to the lab.

“Hoho. You must be in a lot of trouble with Belle, Master? ”

Only Azman smiles at his face.

“I'm not suffering, but I've heard so many things that I can't understand on my intellectual level, and my head is going to explode. ”

“Haha. It's something the master will learn someday, so if you don't understand it now, you'll understand it later. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“What will you do after achieving your goal in a virtual reality game? There's got to be something real you can do. To do that, you have to learn and learn more. ”

Harun tries to talk back and just shakes his head. It was a problem just thinking about it. I didn't hate studying. I neglected my studies because of the foster family that changed from time to time, but now I think about studying again.

Of course, I was feeling the need to study while living in Beyond, or while living with Bell or Azman, so I thought I'd missed one day, but I felt dizzy thinking that I was going to do it now.

“Let's talk about that later. ”

“Yes, Master. But I did find some research on what the Master had instructed me to do earlier, if I may? ”

“What? What did I tell you? ”

When I asked, I remembered. He asked you to investigate the Outer Village through a reconnaissance of Kowon Union or the entire district using a satellite that became unmanned. He also asked if he could investigate the power of Qi himself.

“What the Master has instructed……. ”

“Oh! That reminds me. So, how far along are we? ”

“Go to my lab. I have some footage to show you. ”

“Sure."

Harun follows Azman down to her lab on the fourth floor underground. Her lab was built in the middle of enormous volumes of electronic devices, as well as amnesty. As I walked by, I felt some parts of the metal cold.

“Azman, are these bio-chips made too? ”

“That's right, Master. It's not 100%, but it's computers with a lot of bio-chip technology. And of course, they don't have artificial intelligence like I do, but they have incredible abilities beyond supercomputing. ”

Electronic devices that filled a large room were also operating today. A long table and a few lounge chairs appeared as we walked inside the computer showing that different sounds or luminescences were being operated on a periodic basis.

“Master, sit in that chair. ”

“This chair? ”

What Azman pointed to was a long comforting chair that could reach to his feet. I don't know what the material is, but once I sat down, the comfort chair moved to the most straightforward angle of the spine and gently accepted his body.

“Now close your eyes and think of me. Then the Master will be able to feel and see me just by thinking. ”

Harun closes his eyes and thinks of Azman, just as Azman said.

"Oh!"

Surprisingly, I could see her bright smile as if her eyes were open.

“It doesn't matter whether you open your eyes or close them. The master connected me with an electroencephalogram through a chair-like computer. The reason we do this is because we can deliver what the master wants to know much easier and faster than hearing and vision dependent communication. ”

Harun opens his eyes. Then Azman was seen, but the street was not appreciable. It seemed like she was right in front of him, but at some point she was thought to be a long way away.

It was only a long time before I realized how strong his thoughts about Azman were.

“I'm going to show you a video of the reconnaissance results from the satellite. It is located in the middle of the Korean Peninsula. There are about 380 unions around the world that are marked by a red dot. ”

Harun was able to see his current position vividly through a video of Azman. It was the same thing he learned at school, but it felt much more vivid.

“Co1 Union and Co2 Union exist on the Korean Peninsula. There are about 800 Outer villages in the rest of the country. There are about six hundred villages in the mountains and about two hundred villages on the plains, and the flat villages are characterized by the end times being underground facilities built in the earliest days of the human era. The size of each village varies from 500 to 10,000, but on average there are about 2300 humans. ”

I had never known that there were so many Outer Villages. There were about 30 villages within a 30-mile radius around Kowon Union. I was really curious about how these people had lived.

“So many! ”

Azman shakes his head in awe of Harun.

“That was the master's mistake. There used to be more. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. More than a hundred years ago, they were trading with the Outer Villages because Union was running low on food and resources. But as the mutants began to enter the Korean Peninsula, about a third of the villages disappeared. ”

The red dotted outer villages were mostly mountainous or located upstream from the river. It was enough to feel how great the threat of mutants was.

“Couldn't you have built a city? ”

That's what I thought. If we build cities with various talents and skills, we wonder if we can effectively cope with the threat of mutant life.

“There have been a few such attempts. But they were unable to adapt their impact to union deterrents, environmental factors and cultural differences that had been isolated for centuries, and that was a failure. ”

It was a shame, because if things get better outside the barrier, people who are miserable and incapacitated within the barrier can lead new lives. I thought that I would be able to live a life that was valued instead of a life that was almost worthless, such as a bolt or nut that made up Union.

“What is the threat of mutant life? ”

“Quite a bit. Ever since the mutants came together and started coming into the Korean Peninsula, the number of outsiders has halved. Orgna Hark perceives humans as readily available food. ”

“Damn it!”

It was horrible and unpleasant to think about. They feed on Humans.

“Fortunately, we've seen a slight decline in mutant life lately. The number of outsiders has been increasing since 30 years ago. ”

“Really?"

I was glad to hear that, but I was curious why. Azman told me why he seemed to know Harun's heart like that.

“After the apocalypse war, mutants that had been created were so perfectly adapted to different environments that they had several layers of skin tissue or amazing physical abilities that they could not effectively fight them with conventional gunpowder weapons or energy weapons. Of course, the effects of weapons like quantum and wave guns are still absolute, but they're not weapons that the outside world can have, and the energy and manufacturing techniques are already in place, so unions can't use them easily. ”

“That's right."

Harun knows that. He knows that bullets can't pierce their hide unless they're within 10 meters. He also knows that their ability to move and leap is fast and explosive beyond the reach of human vision.

“But now humans have new weapons. That's why the number of outsiders is increasing a little bit. ”

“Weapons?”

“Yes. It's a force that humans often call Psychiatry 63907; the Wraith or the Qi. The Korean Peninsula and its neighboring continents had a new power that was once considered a mysterious realm. ”

“The mind and the giraffe. ”

I've seen you use your mind. I saw that Nine exerted her mind when she confronted Hark, stopping his attack for a moment. Moreover, Harun himself was able to use chi.

That's all because of Beyond, the virtual reality game. I learned messenger skills in the game and additionally learned how to gain power called mana and chi here and how to accumulate and use them on my body.

But how did the outsiders gain that power?

“But these people who use their minds and their senses have existed long before the Apocalypse. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. Obviously, in the records of the Apocalypse, there were people who were using what we called superpowers at the time. That kind of power could be used by mental trainers called Yogi and lifelong martial artists. It was just that the power was so weak that the wonder was enough. ”

As soon as I heard Azman's words, many questions crossed my mind.

If such power had existed since ancient times, why did it suddenly become so weak until now? And how does that transfer?

I was confused as if my head was unraveling.

Outers. But why can't unions with hundreds of thousands and millions of people develop that power and use it effectively?

Shouldn't we use that power to deal with mutants instead of breaking through the massive, long underground passages because we can't get out of the barrier protected space?

Wouldn't it be easier and easier to train a warrior who uses chi than to put a lot of manpower and goods into building a subway in a reality where the right machine civilization is gone?

Azman expressing a vague expression as if he had read Harun's thoughts.

“According to my research, there aren't many humans in the barrier with that kind of new power. These are naturally occurring among the outsiders who have been battling their way through hundreds of years in different environments. Not only did we use our psychic powers, but also our physically enhanced humans were continuing to come out of the barrier. ”

Am I? Then I would be one of them, too.

“It's a strange thing we can't analyze with scientific data, but after a certain period of post-apocalypse warfare, the world became full of all kinds of energy. Of course, the existence of that energy, or its patterns, can't be determined by science, but it's as if there are people coming out of the apocalypse who are capable of all sorts of things that continue to emerge. ”

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes, Master! My guess is that different atmospheric components, the aftermath of the apocalypse, have allowed me to harness that power hundreds of times over. And with the Master's support, I'm going to show you a close-up of one of the Eagle's Cyborgs flying across the Korean Peninsula. ”

Azman lowered the illumination in the room to cover windows and glass ceilings with a thick, black screen and then posted a holographic video on one wall.

High mountains overlap one another. A large colony of trees, similar to the one you saw in Beyond's Elf Village, formed a forest. In the middle of the forest was a vast clearing, and a man was hunting with a crossbow.

Do you think he's a man now? The man in the crude trousers and vest made of animal hide was targeting deer. I wonder how long I waited, lowering myself in the grass to my waist. A deer appeared in the forest with muscles as strong as a bison and horns sharper than the horns of an ox.

Shhh!

As the man who was waiting shot an arrow, a blast erupted. Even though it wasn't a real sound, there was a powerful force in a man's arrow with strong arm muscles.

Phew!

A giant deer leaps into the air as if struck by a harpoon. After falling to the ground, it trembles a few times, eventually collapsing to its side. Red blood flows from the stag's neck along the arrowhead that has been pierced by more than half.

The man who shot the arrow pauses, placing another arrow in front of the demonstration and watching for pity. Is there something else at stake?

A man approaching a carefully fallen deer suddenly looks down at the forest and covers himself with grass. Three uninvited guests are coming out of the forest shortly.

The smooth, glowing brown skin, the large nose, red eyes, uneven teeth and protruding jaws pressed against the hairless head, monsters who could not keep their mouths shut had strong flesh like muscles protruding out.

The wooden spear, iron axe, and three monsters with a large sword and small shield were covering only the crucial part of their lower body. The height was too strong and intimidating to even look beyond two meters.

“Org?”

“That's right."

“But Org isn't that tall. ”

“It appears to be a variant of Org. evidence that since the end of the war, after the changes in the atmospheric components, the evolution of all life has been happening at tremendous speeds. And of course, that evolution applies to humans as well. ”

As Azman explains, the three orgs point at the arrow in the deer's neck, chattering as if discussing it, and they begin to search the area. At that moment, an arrow is inserted into Org's chest, standing in front of him.

Ting!

I think that's what I heard. The arrow sticks slightly into the tentacle and bounces off. You can't tell by the video what the material is, but if you look at the color of the sticky edges, it looks like it's made of iron, but you can't pierce Org's hide.

The three orgs scream and attack the shooter with arrows. Immediately after blowing the arrow, the human flees with a swift motion, striking the spear in his thigh and rolling a few times before collapsing. I could not measure the distance in detail because of the video, but I was a man who fled quite far, but Org's strength was great.

Humans ran away with blood flowing from the bridge pierced by a spear, but it was no different than crawling at that speed. The Three Orcs approach the mortal with a pompous gesture, smiling and chattering. The spear-throwing org catches up with the humans ahead.

The dark life on the face of the man who pulls out a well-bred dagger from a belt that holds a veil of hide from his vagina has also been reported in the video.

Harun's heart seemed to burst. Is it because he's the same species, even though he doesn't have a one-sided diet, he doesn't know it at all? Or did the pity on the bottom of his chest hit his head? Harun grips his teeth without even knowing it.

A human face was revealed because of the shaved head and beard, which predicted that he would pass on the age. He completely looked up at the sky and lay down. Looking closely at his eyes or face, he looked like he was now a freshman or younger.

He looks like he's cursing at Org with a crooked face. Their faces twist violently. The org with the dagger reveals its teeth, but it looks even worse when its edges are chaotic on the gums.

The moment of the incision.

Three humans emerged from the forest behind them. They were all dressed like the first humans, but what they were holding in their hands was a sword.

The three orgs halt, but soon they rush towards the humans in a panic. The three humans also swung their swords about an eight-length long and came close to Org.

Chaen!

Chang!

I thought I heard something like that. The org with the axe, the sword and shield, swing their weapons against the two human swords and bounce back, as if they had promised for a strong shock.

However, Org, who held up his spear, blocked the human blade with a dagger in his hand, broke it and had a long cut on his front chest. It was strange that there was a long cut on his hide that was not pierced by arrowheads made of iron. When I looked closely, I saw a faint blue glow on the human blade.

“Oregon Sword? ”

“That's right. Giga's injected. It's still mild and extremely small, but its effects are being maximized by a well-refined sword. ”

Harun's conversation with Azman led to further attacks by Humans. The wounded org looks at the cut on the front chest, and sees the human soaring high between the boards, swinging his sword across.

Clamps!

Get it!

Org's throat has been slit a third. He was unarmed, so he had to run away unconditionally. He was distracted by the wound and then turned to look at his colleagues, bleeding like a fountain from his wrinkled neck. It was so bizarre.

Two orgs rush toward the two humans, shouting. A giant axe slams into the sword.

Chang!

Orcs and humans, the strongest in both sides, step back two feet side-by-side, then swing axes and swords back at the opponent. Then several times the same pattern of brawls were repeated. It was a vigorous battle of strength versus strength that excluded the arts.

The fight was in Org's favor. Human beings have repeatedly retreated from the Federation with a small shield and a flighty strike of Org that requires two hands to hold a human sword. Humans of fancy body type were pushed from strength, being pushed from technique and weapons.

But there was one other human being. Org uses his shield as the man who defeated one of his own, pushing him behind the Federation, unable to save his weapon's advantage.

The org hurls back frantically, throwing their swords and shields from both sides without giving it enough space to wield it. Suddenly, it tumbles backward. There was a dead deer.

Humans did not miss that moment. When a distraught light appeared in Org's eyes, two blushing swords pierced his chest and stomach side by side.

Puak!

Org tries to get up on his feet, but the two human swords are deep enough to wiggle a few times, eventually dropping his head.

At that moment, the remaining Org was no different from the position of two colleagues. The axe in Org's hand was shattered. It was a mistake for Org, who saw two of his companions in distress, to turn his back on the human with an axe that was only a sack.

Until now, the human who has thrown an honest sword at the axe without skill, Org turns his back and throws the sword without hesitation. It was so close that even though Org was in front, it was inevitable.

Phew!

A blue glow pierces Org's neck. Org wields his sword as if it were unbelievable, but he stumbles and falls, noticing the situation.

The three humans reach down to their knees, their shoulders shrugged, and they take a deep breath and approach the fallen man. When the best developed human struck the blue-glowing sword, the spear that pierced his thigh was cut in half.

I took something out of my leather clothes and sprayed it on the wound where the blood was gushing out. Then the fallen man screams and distorts his face. Probably in a lot of pain. But that too, soon the human head sagged. He must have fainted.

The two humans cut and trimmed the branches with familiar skill, and then took a piece of hide from their waist and carried a stunned human who made a grumpy stretcher. The rest of the humans hang their weapons at their sides and carry the carcasses of deer larger than their own bodies on their shoulders and follow.

The video ended up disappearing into the forest.

“Phew.”

Harun sighs for a long time, wondering if he was too nervous.

“You've obviously seen the Master inject chi into weapons, right? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Harun was convinced of it because he also had experience.

But it was a mystery. Expert was treated like a hero in the world of Beyond when men dressed so badly they couldn't even wear proper clothes!

Although only a part of the sword was injected with energy, in order to achieve that level of skill, a talented person has to work hard for 20 years, starting as a child.

They didn't get a good grip on their face, and they couldn't age because they were bearded like themselves, but they were definitely using chi. Then Harun would have been learning to practice the mana flora in his own way.

“How did they become able to use chi? ”

I couldn't understand anything about dressing up or hunting.

“There are several possibilities. The first is if you inherit it from a predecessor, including the Apocalypse, through a record or an oral record. ”

Harun shakes his head at her words. Very unlikely. If there was such a way, there would have been no such thing as unsafe novels or fantasy novels in the age of the end.

Some of the facts I learned through Bell because I was interested in earlier times were that there were ways to use chi to make my mind and body healthy even in the age of the end. However, they say it has been radically corrupted or religiously cultivated as a profit seeking group.

“The second is to acquire those abilities through naturally occurring evolution. ”

Perhaps this was more likely.

“The contaminated and devastated environment of the Apocalypse War was too harsh for the former human race to survive, but like all species, humans also survived with strong viability and adaptability. Although all genetic maps were drawn at the beginning of the apocalypse, less than 70 percent of the genes' roles and functions were revealed. We think the other 30 percent of the genes will contain information about the potential or adaptability that is set to be expressed when this crisis comes to an extinction. ”

"What about us?"

Harun briefly questioned Azman's use of the title "we," but ignored her continued remarks.

“Bell's access to satellites has revealed that quite a few of the outsiders are human, but have mutated severely enough to classify them as other species. Some people say that skin tissue mutates enough to be called leather, or that it takes the power of three or four human vessels, and they can't get near it because they're afraid. ”

This is remarkable. Humans were weaker in flesh than other mammals. Instead, I made a weapon of high intelligence against them, a human being with a strong body.

“Maybe it's the aftermath of the apocalypse that's changing so dramatically. During the apocalypse, countless nuclear weapons exploded, and the earth and the sea shook. The energy on the planet Earth was so overwhelming, it almost exploded. At that time, the planet itself was not so strange as to be destroyed, but the living Earth was trying to find a little bit of balance. The result is the current state. The atmosphere is fine, but it's changing, and it's full of energy. Many new animals have emerged that have never been seen before, and their fertility and abilities are different from before. Humans are surrounded by powerful competitors and allies who will soon be beyond the barrier of extinction. Humans now have to adapt to new environments. ”

It feels strange to hear Azman's words. This situation is human-made, so it gives the impression that Humans need to solve it.

‘Dammit! I didn't do this. ’

Of course, I know this complaining is useless. It is only frustrating that the foolish humans of the distant past made it so while fighting each other, but the coherence of that seal is firmly tied to their generation.

“The energy is so high, it's what these abilities are drawn from. And so do the mutants. ”

“Yes, Master! Scientifically accurate formulas are vague, but they can be explained by basic theories. The history of humanity has given birth to philosophers and religious subjects, all of whom were so energetic. ”

That is the history of the ancients, so there is no way to know, but it is true that various abilities are emerging. I was a powerful superpower, and I was able to use my skills in a game called Beyond to some extent in reality, even though Bell's presence was mediated.

“The third possibility is that some other beings may have learned that ability. ”

“What if it's something else? ”

“Commonly referred to as aliens. At the end of the Apocalypse, there were powerful nations that came into contact with some of them and embraced advanced civilizations. It is commonly known as extraterrestrial beings that are thousands of years away from Earth and light years away, but we believe they have long since become civilized on Earth. ”

Harun's eyes glow brightly. It was an interesting idea.

“It is presumed that they have created civilizations on Earth or Mars and have left Earth due to a variety of causes or have ventured deeper underground. At the end of the Apocalypse, there were traces of them underneath and on the surface of the Moon and Mars. ”

I just listened to Azman's story without asking anything because I had never heard it before.

“Some of them were even exposed. Sleek skin with no fur, long arms and long legs, and a large unbalanced head with eyes. where the organs were simple and the reproductive degeneration. Some of them are more than three times the size of human habitats, and even small aliens the length of their palms were found. although, of course, all the information about those beings at the time was either manipulated by the head of state or rumored to be blurry. ”

Harun imagines the aliens speaking by Azman, but it is not easy to define them.

“Some of them had great scientific civilizations, and they passed them on to humans, and some of the countries in the early apocalypse, called the United States and Russia, were proprietary to that information and grew into superpowers. Some scientists were pressuring them to find that information, to vomit their country, to reveal secrets, but they didn't pretend to hear it. ”

The same is true of humankind, who holds information and does not want to share it with others. I wonder if each Union has done something to kill their own scientists. They were all flights to monopolize information.

“At the time, UFO researchers claimed that they were mostly living on Mars or underground on the Moon. ”

Harun opens his mouth, but he doesn't speak. I couldn't believe the aliens lived that close. At the end of the Apocalypse, I had heard that there was a project on Mars and Jupiter to build a colony.

“That's why we believe they're not really aliens from another planet, but the ancestors or the ancients of Earth. ”

This is a really interesting subject. Harun swallows his saliva without even knowing it, and asks Azman.

“I've heard that fossils and artifacts can go back 500,000 to hundreds of millions of years to determine the state of the Earth. Why is it unknown that there are such beings? ”

Azman smiles at Harun's question.

“That's a natural question. But even though fossils are reliable evidence, the chances of that being left are less than 100,000 minutes. Moreover, it is possible that their civilization will be destroyed in a short period of time using biochips, just like mine, rather than using metallic civilizations that are different from humans. ”

It could be. If Azman is destroyed, it's 90% of the material that makes up her body, so in just a few years, it rots and rots without a trace except for 10% of the metal. Then the traces of her being in this world will soon disappear.

“Unlike the days when scout cyborgs hadn't been around much, but humans with less strength and agility were pushing back, we recently saw some outsiders defending their territory against Orgna Hark. In the last days, so-called Europe and America, many Oregons were evolving beyond the tribal unit to the state level, but the continent adjacent to the peninsula where the Master lives is changing. Even a mutant Org who was much more powerful than Org was powerful enough to wander around without taking over my realm. ”

It's encouraging. Harun grips his fist and now sticks his eye in the space where the missing footage was.

"Yes, you should! Humans shouldn't be pushed around by mutants like that. Instead of avoiding it, you have to smash it in front of you. ’

Harun wondered beyond the barrier of Beyond, the world's first virtual reality game. A world where outsiders have the power to dream. I was so curious about what world it was and how they lived in it.

‘Let's just finish the dungeon and get out of the game. I even got the messenger sword and Mana Flow I wanted so badly, so now I can practice my sword properly. Learn swordsmanship and cancer skills, gain power, and then go out into the other world. ’

Harun's fist trembles.

It is sometimes annoying to have a smart person around, but it is also a good thing that you can satisfy your intellectual curiosity as much as you do now. Until now, I've never been interested, but once the topic came up and I started to listen to the examples, my curiosity and interest arose.

I learned a lot through questioning and listening to Azman, but Harun's intellectual desire was not fulfilled. There were some things in the past that were not explained by Azman's explanation, although it would be difficult to know the truth purposefully by many hypocrisy and falsehood.

‘Are humans indeed malfunctioning magnetic cars that run for destruction? ’

Humans won't like anything destructive and violent. Violence, of course, was a bad act of giving rise to violence and causing endless revenge, but religions also exerted a powerful influence on people in the age of the end.

There was a war and a terrible tragedy because of that religion, but the role of positivity would have been just as great. Those who engraved such positive teachings in their hearts would not have let their destruction stand.

I didn't really understand this. Religion transcends nations and peoples as it exists across many countries, so if religion is leading the way, I thought that much of the conflict would be resolved.

There was such faith because Harun himself was a Human descendant. There was a strong question as to whether those intelligent humans with advanced scientific civilizations, who had produced such terrifying AI, would have known bad consequences but rushed towards destruction.

‘What is the truth about aliens? ’

Azman's speculation that aliens were intelligent beings living on Earth, not other beings from distant planets, was one of the most plausible things, but there were many things that he did not understand.

If they also lived on Mars or on the Moon until they were destroyed or had to leave the planet, but had such an advanced civilization, why did they only observe the destructive acts of humans, like their descendants?

What if it were you?

I think I might have been involved. I was betrayed after giving some thought, but if I think about the lucky four, I can find the answer. Even though they hated each other, if they knew they were biting and tearing each other to death, they would have stopped them in some way. It has that much power and influence.

Harun was convinced that if aliens were creatures that blossomed civilizations based on Earth, they would influence and engage Humans for their own comfort. So Azman's story didn't touch my heart any more.

‘How many are there like Bell and Azman, and what is their purpose? ’

It was also a question I had been asking for a long time, not out of my mouth.

Neckwall replied briefly as he launched Beyond. I used the abilities of ancient computers and hundreds of supercomputers found in the desert to create this virtual reality game.

"I don't know about the others, but I can't believe this! ’

It doesn't make sense that a hundred supercomputers have been discovered for hundreds of years because of the war.

It is also hard to believe that unions who knew that the facilities of the barrier powered solar power plants had become so obsolete that they were destined to perish, had quietly transferred their supercomputers to the Global Committee. that Neckwall, a private company, gave permission to use those computers to implement the world of virtual reality gaming.

How much work do you have? For the Union, the value was so great, whether it was repairing solar power facilities and energy membranes, or preparing for the restoration of disconnected scientific knowledge or technology or for the transformed alien situation.

You surrendered to the supercomputers in this situation? That's the sound of Hark grazing! “

That's not all.

It was a situation where he had little science or technology because he could not learn properly. The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, but in fact, no matter how good he was, the existence of Bell, who was only a machine, transformed into a human form or became a human form, was mysterious.

What are you, what are you, that these beings are approaching you naturally?

It is the self that has been evaluated over and over again as incompetent long before becoming an adult that is so low on mediocrity. I couldn't understand why these things were given to me.

Harun did not believe that one day, both sides had passed on Bell as a testament.

He is the presence of Bell, who is said to be a gift from both sides that have already been completely forgotten. The pair and her made him possess the power he so desperately desired, but there was a mystery at one end of his mind that remained unsolved even if he went to the Science Village where the evidence remained.

Even though he felt a single phase victory as a child, the pair of them, like most scientists, were quite lacking in a human face. Apart from the study, I didn't really like the fact that he felt guilty about his family, his advances, his money, or his honor, had sent him something like Belle, a lifelong masterpiece, just before he died.

There seems to be something else hidden, but I can't tell.

It was the same with Azman. Even though it was Nine involved, I had my doubts. Nine's father is the warrior leader of the town. It is hard to believe that such a person could not find a facility underground simply because of the filthy exterior of the building.

Is Beyond really a virtual reality? ’

I don't know what the other users were like, but in his case, he rarely used an audible, status window, or additional support system for games, so it felt like another reality, not a game.

Although not much experience, even with ancient and super-class computers, virtual reality is different from reality. It can be buggy, from the senses to the fairy tale problems of the avatar. But Bjorn was free of that. This is something I can't understand. Moreover, the reality that he now lives in is an obscene scientific civilization that doesn't even have a proper skeleton.

The only difference between NPCs was that they could not have sex with each other, and when hunting monsters, they only received items at a certain rate, including leather and other by-products. Of course, it was typical of the game, whether it was a user-only hunting ground or something else, but it was almost no different from reality.

"Who can solve these questions? ’

I learned a lot because of Azman, but my thirst only got worse.
