The Fantasy World Fanatic Wants To Leave Work

5 – 5. Welcome to UC Convenience Store (4)

After taking a brief look inside the convenience store, I sat down at the counter and searched for the Tree Wiki that the manager mentioned.

If my thoughts were right, I might be able to explore Tree Wiki through this system.

Now that I think about it, this UC Convenience Store support system was actually similar in format to a smartphone.

Instead of manipulation through hand movements, it seems to be done through my thoughts. And instead of being restricted to a small screen like a mobile phone, the screen appears like a hologram.

Furthermore, judging from the response of the pseudo-religious guest named Allensia earlier, it seems that it is not visible to others.

[♣The Universe of Knowledge that You Fill♣]

[Welcome to TreeWiki!]

[TreeWiki is a wiki that contains the knowledge of the entire universe. Be aware that unfiltered knowledge also exists.]

“So this is TreeWiki?”

It looks almost identical indeed.

As I entered TreeWiki, a familiar yet friendly screen greeted me, just like Dr. Everything, the polymath.

Glancing at the banner, I realized that this TreeWiki is literally filled with the knowledge of the entire universe and is called the ‘Akashic Record’ in which new knowledge is constantly being filled in real-time.

[The Akashic Record is a transcendent “existence” that contains all the knowledge of the universe. TreeWiki duplicates and projects the corresponding Akashic Record so that you can read it.]

Translators seem to exist everywhere; I have seen enough for now, so let’s start with a search.

“What is Universe-1221?”

While the function of directly transferring my thoughts is convenient, it was still difficult to get used to.

They say that for those who are unfamiliar, it is more definite to speak out loud while thinking.

[Universe-1221]

[Category: Arcane]

[Status: Observable, Habitat]

That’s how in-depth knowledge about Universe-1221 started to unfold.

The scroll was endlessly long, so I decided to just look at the overview and characteristics of this universe for now.

[Overview]

[A fantasy universe where angels, demons, and gods exist.]

[Characteristics]

[This universe is dominated by intellects that have advanced based on magic. In the distant past, during the war between angels and demons, the world regained peace through the mediation of an unprecedented god, and a race called ‘Humankind’ took control of the world.]

If it’s Humankind, it must be referring to humans. But I wonder if the young beasts I saw earlier are also included in that race?

Contrary to what I saw on the internet, seeing actual non-humans in reality was much more surreal.

I also searched for information on the category of Humankind.

[Humankind (Universe-1221)]

[Category: Sentient Beings]

[Status: Observable, Approximately 1.089 billion individuals]

[Overview]

[After the banishment of angels and demons from the middle realm, a third sentient being was created by God. The strength varies greatly depending on the individual, and there exists black magic based on the power of demons and white magic based on the power of angels. In addition, some of the followers of God possess a power called “Ability”.]

[Type]

[Human]

[Characteristics: The most common type, capable of using both black magic and white magic as well as “Ability”.]

[Lycanthrope]

[Characteristics: Unable to use magic. Instead, they possess superior physicality and heightened animal senses compared to humans. Occasionally, there are individuals with innate powers similar to magic.]

It appears that there are two main types classified under the human race – humans like myself and lycanthropes.

There is also another type called fairies, which consisted mainly of elves and dwarves.

They look exactly like the elves and dwarves I know.

“It’s literally like a fantasy world…”

There was nothing particularly eye-catching.

By the way, from the description of humans using magic, and the mention of “Ability”, could it be that Alencia has the ability to use it?

Could it be that she forced me into a pseudo-religion through some kind of hypnotic magic?

That would be quite terrible…

“No, that can’t be.”

If that were the case, she must have been doing strange things since we first met.

For now, it should be fine since she looks perfectly normal.

[Angel (Universe-1221)]

[Classification: Transcendent]

[Status: Unobservable, Alive]

[Devil (Universe-1221)]

[Classification: Transcendent]

[Status: Unobservable, Alive]

“It says they are unobservable?”

As I naturally tried to look into angels and demons, I suddenly noticed the mark of unobservability.

[*Exists in a separate space separated from the corresponding universe, unable to confirm how long the individual has lived or their current status.]

Ah, now I remember. In that Universe-1221, it was mentioned that there are a total of 1.089 billion residents, and it seems that angels and demons are not included in that number.

Anyway, let’s find out what these angels and demons are.

I guess angels love peace, and on the contrary, demons enjoy chaos and destruction.

[*Notification: Currently, the information cannot be accessed at the current level of Kim Hyunwoo. (Current Level: 1 / Required Level: 3)]

However, when it came to angels or demons, his level was too low to understand anything about them.

This only made him more curious.

Is there a way to raise his level, perhaps?

[Increasing your knowledge and survival period in this universe will result in an increase in your level.]

From Noble mtl dot com

[*What is a level?]

[A level is a unit that represents adaptability and knowledge in this universe. Each universe has its individual levels, and when you acquire a high level, you can make contact with the observers of that universe and have individual consultations.]

It’s all quite peculiar.

There seems to be a way to raise the level, but from the explanation, it doesn’t seem achievable right now.

He was curious about what angels and demons exactly were, but for now, he decided to give up on that and look into something else.

“So, what’s left now-“

It’s about ‘them,’ which this U.C. convenience store keeps mentioning.

Based on the descriptions so far, they seem to be something very dangerous or something you should avoid meeting.

However, no one has provided a precise explanation of what they are, how they appear, or what their purpose is.

So, in the end, he had to find out for himself.

– Store Manager –

[Stop right there, Mr. Kim Hyun-woo.]

“This guy again?”

Just as he was about to search for information about them on Tree Wiki, the store manager sent another message.

To stop? Could it be about not searching on Tree Wiki?

– Store Manager –

[I must have clearly stated. Only search for information about Universe-1221 on Tree Wiki.]

Come to think of it, he did send a message like that.

[When using Tree Wiki, please only use information related to Universe-1221. Information from other universes may contain extraterrestrial (外神) information that could disrupt Mr. Kim Hyun-woo’s sanity.]

There were so many remarkable things that happened afterward that he had forgotten.

– Store Manager –

[Especially knowledge about them is classified as a level-1 danger document on Tree Wiki. If you attempt to search for it carelessly, you may come under the investigation of the Universal Information Agency.]

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it have been better to inform him separately?

How was he supposed to know whether it was information about this universe or another universe?

“The Universal Information Agency seems like a national intelligence agency or something.”

I don’t exactly know what they’re talking about, but I do understand that searching it up would lead to troublesome consequences.

Judging by the owner’s reaction, it seems they are not included in this universe-1221, and searching for such sensitive information might attract police investigations.

-Owner-

[I will inform you about them once Mr. Kim Hyunwoo officially starts working and we begin operations in earnest. Currently, no customers can come in, and they cannot come here either. So, I recommend preparing and familiarizing yourself with other aspects until then.]

Seeing the owner trying so hard to dissuade me, it’s disappointing, but I guess I have to be content here.

If I push too hard, that psycho owner might do something unpredictable, and that would only bother me further.

†††

What are ‘they,’ what do they want, and where do they come from?

Even the Tree Wiki, which contains knowledge from the entire universe, doesn’t have a proper entry on this.

“…because no one knows.”

The words escaped his lips unintentionally.

His blue eyes, watching his solitary figure in the convenience store, shimmered quietly.

His holographic body, made up of light, flickered in and out of existence, generating noise.

He almost had an intergalactic information officer barging in before he even reopened the store.

Or perhaps someone observing their existence detected them and the men from this universe swarmed in on the man in the screen to devour him.

The headquarters wouldn’t provide any special support before the official reopening.

Most likely, they’d be helplessly dragged away, forced to join them.

“You really have no caution. If only you had delayed a bit, we would have had to write another report to the headquarters.”

Accompanied by a deep sigh, the screen scrutinized him.

All the responsibility for the new employee training rested on the store manager, especially when it came to issues related to the U.C. Support System. It didn’t just end with writing a report to the headquarters.

And now, not only had the convenience store not yet reopened, but there were also signs of an unknown intruder in the store, causing a headache.

Moreover, if they had swarmed in, it would have been an even bigger problem.

“How many more days will they hide this time?”

Furthermore, there was no room for reassurance.

Even if it had nothing to do with them, friction with the intelligent beings of this universe could lead to problems.

Especially Universe-1221, with its annoying mix of various religious conflicts and the constant struggle between angels and demons.

The transcendent beings of this universe didn’t appreciate external interference and had attempted to assassinate employees whenever they got a chance.

In reality, several had gone missing or died.

“Ugh, I really want to wipe them all out…”

From the very beginning, I didn’t even like doing this.

I only regret falling for the surface allure of the landmine deal.
