My World: From Zombies to Demon King HIM

Hearing Stephen's words, Notch's heart was stirred, and his thoughts surged like a tide. He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, and he couldn't help asking himself.

"Can I really bear such sincere and deep gratitude from Stephen?"

However, deep in his heart, the answer he gave was no.

Looking back on the journey he had walked side by side with Stephen, Notch knew that he was just a bystander.

He witnessed too many things happening with his own eyes, and heard from Stephen a lot about the difficulties and sufferings experienced by those awakened creatures.

All the sufferings suffered by these creatures, in the final analysis, come from the settings of the game.

Monsters are set to be hostile to players.

Villagers are set to be trading tools for players.

Animals are set to be food.

These are the most basic settings of a game.

But the problem is that this game is no longer just a game.

Notch realized this as early as when the senior executives contacted Notch.

But Notch didn't want to face it because of his inner fear.

Notch actually knew that this game world was full of complexity and mystery, but he still had a fluke mentality.

When he learned that the creatures in this world had gradually developed self-awareness, with his wisdom, he had already expected that these conscious lives would suffer because of the rules of the game. However, he was unwilling to face all this and chose to escape from reality.

As long as he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could treat these things as if they had never happened, as if they didn't exist at all.

Even though there were fresh lives passing away every day, Notch still buried his head in the sand.

Because he was the creator of this game, these settings were made by him.

So the death of every creature was inextricably linked to him and could not be separated.

Because of this, what he had to face was a huge and heavy responsibility.

But he didn't understand this world that he created but had quietly changed.

He had not yet understood it in depth, so how could he shoulder this huge and heavy responsibility?

Until this moment, Stephen's gratitude completely awakened Nocth.

He began to reflect on the rules and order of this game world, and thought about its fairness and rationality.

Originally just a virtual world composed of a bunch of codes and algorithms, it has now become so complex and real because of the awakening of these creatures.

As the creator, he can no longer turn a blind eye to all this and sit back and do nothing. He feels that he must take some action.

But what can he do now?

Should the official directly issue an announcement to warn all players not to kill those creatures with self-awareness?

This is obviously not feasible, after all, everyone has long known about the emergence of consciousness in this game.

However, as long as the official does not personally come forward to confirm the authenticity of the incident, even if it triggers more heated discussions and debates, it is just empty talk and no evidence, and will not attract too much attention and attention.

But once the authorities really intervene, the nature of the whole thing will change completely.

It is uncertain whether the game can run normally at that time.

Or, there is another way, that is, Notch makes all the conscious creatures unable to be killed by players.

That is, give all of them invincible BUFF.

But obviously, this method is impossible to implement even in theory.

How many creatures have awakened consciousness in this game world? How many creatures are awakening consciousness?

Even if they can all be given invincible BUFF.

The hatred between these creatures and the players has already arisen.

The players can't do anything to them, but it doesn't mean that they won't attack the players.

At that time, the lives of the creatures will be saved, and the players will face animals, villagers, and monsters with invincible BUFFs, and be killed every day.

Players are not masochists. They play games for fun, not to be beaten up in various ways.

How long can such a game operate?

Without players, this game world naturally has no value.

Or Notch can create another space to gather those conscious creatures in that space and prevent them from contacting players.

But this is no different from raising cats and dogs.

Although it seems to provide a certain degree of protection, it deprives the creatures of the right to develop freely, explore the world, and interact with the outside world.

Long-termSince then, the countless sufferings and sacrifices that creatures have experienced are not just to exchange for a cage that seems safe and secure but is actually heavily bound.

On the contrary, they yearn for true freedom, equality and mutual respect.

From Stephen's words, we can see that he wants to feel this world well, and he wants to live in this world as a recognized existence.

After thinking about this, Notch's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

He couldn't help but recall his original intention when he created this game world.

"Minecraft".

At that time, he had a dream and longed to create a unique and magical virtual space so that every player could find their own fun and comfort in it.

He hoped that this world could become a refuge for people's hearts, away from the pressure and troubles of real life.

He hoped that this world could be like a pure land, nurturing endless creativity and beautiful memories.

In Notch's conception, there is no war, deception or harm here, only friendship, cooperation and exploration of the unknown.

But this world seems to have never become what he expected.

The more he thought about it, the more restless Notch felt.

He hated this feeling. It was the world he created, but it never became what he wanted.

It was like that before, and it is still like that now.

Self-blame, anger, unwillingness, fear... countless emotions surged into his heart in an instant.

Notch just felt a splitting headache.

In a trance, two voices seemed to flash through Notch's mind.

The two voices gave him a strange yet familiar feeling.

"Since "My World" is named after this name, this should be a world that belongs only to you. You created this world, you are above everything, and everything here is to serve you. If various problems make you feel embarrassed, then completely erase those problems... This is a pure land that belongs only to you..."

...

"This is no longer the world you created. Even if you created it in the beginning, it is not what it was originally... This world has its own rules. It no longer belongs to you. You should not intervene or interfere..."
