Another World With AI 7

Chapter 7 – 01. A Strange World

Oh wow
Spewed out

“Oh! Master!!”

Human slaves who went to do their own thing came and cleaned up the water that spewed out and took the soup, saying that it would be served fresh.

“Kuh…”

Distorted face.
Seeing that it was dyed red, he must have been ashamed.
I was just spraying water.

But what…It’s cute.

“After… Are you insane?”

After some time, she came to her senses and said as if nothing had happened.

“Are you insane? I was just asking something I didn’t know.”
“Does it make sense that the guy in the tower doesn’t know about the tower?”
“It makes no sense. As I said earlier, when I came to my senses, I was already here.”
“Under…”

I didn’t believe it either.

“Why do you need tower warriors? Aren’t they built by the beings who lived here?”
“Okay… I don’t know from the very beginning… This can be happen.”

Is it a habit?
I don’t think that’s possible at all. It just seems to have given up on me.

“I don’t think it will end with just eating.”
“Five. Will you serve me coffee too?”
“I don’t like it, but I have to.”
“I am surprised. It’s not something I would say, but if it’s a situation where I have to teach you everything from one to ten, you can tell me to stop because it’s annoying.”

Actually, this guy said, ‘You guys have to take care of that.’

“If you set foot here in response to my invitation, you are my guest. It’s not something Noblesse would do to throw it away like that.”
“Swimming. You are a great aristocrat.”
“That’s not enough to be sarcastic.”

She took a sip of her fresh tea.

“Here is the soup.”

A child named Luna brought back the soup.

.
.

The meal ended dry.
Do you think the conversation will continue after that, so everyone just ate.

The full-fledged story begins with tea and coffee.
She told me from the very basics.

“The tower was built about 10,000 years ago.”

A long time ago, in the continent of Asran, countless races were living by helping each other.
They understood each other through a unified language and prospered on this land through active exchange and communication.
Among them, there were 7 races with particularly strong power and influence, and from some time ago, they called themselves the 『Advanced 7 races』 And began to distinguish them from other races.

At first, it was just a feeling of pride and superiority, but as time went on, it became fixed like a class, and it was 1092 by the continental calendar. The heads of the 『Seven Advanced Tribes』 Gathered together to conspire a special yet dangerous plan.

It’s called the ‘Tower of God Project’.

A huge tower with a height of 220 km and a diameter of 40 km is built on a vast field in the center of the continent. The height of one floor is approximately 2.2 km. 100 floors like that.
By casting space magic on it, the interior volume is designed to be 10 times wider than what is seen from the outside, and a utopia is built so that each floor can be as productive as a tolerable country.
And around it, countless cities of other races that support the 『Advanced 7 races』 Surround it like a tower to protect it, and build a long wall at the outermost part. It was a plan to squeeze the power of the entire continent.

Even the 『Advanced 7 Races』 Was grand enough to risk the fate of the race, but they passed this plan. He built a tower unprecedented in history, a tower that could even reach the sky, lived there, and hoped to become a ‘god’ himself.

So the plan began.

Under the leadership of the ‘advanced 7 races’, all the resources and power that existed on the continent were gathered, and the continent was dynamic with the grand dream of a mere creature heading to God.

There were also complaints.

Even if you build a tower, only the “Advanced 7 races” And those chosen by them can live in it. All those who cannot enter must live on the outskirts like servants.

There can be no complaints

However, even if there was dissatisfaction, it could not be disobeyed. Because the 『Advanced 7 races』 Were that powerful.

『Elf』 Has a long lifespan of 1,000 years by commanding countless spirits, and has a beautiful appearance that overwhelms even demons and dragonians.

A 『Dwarf』 Who can handle all existing metals and compensates for the lack of physical strength and population with overwhelming dexterity and technical skills.

From the moment they were born in Mana, they have a natural affinity for Mana, and although the number of individuals is small, the 『Evil』 Alone overwhelms the spirit of other races.

From the name of the tribe, you can get a glimpse of their pride, honor and dignity, and in addition to their beautiful appearance, 『Noblesse』 Uses their unique ability called ‘Nobling’.

And…

[Dragonian], The suzerain who gave birth to Mana, and each and every one of them is the ruler.

They used to keep each other in check, but they used to join forces when responding to other races.
If another race caught and killed one 『Elf』, The group of 『Advanced 7 races』 Including 『Dwarves』 Or demons took the lead in punishing them, and there was even a case of annihilating a race.

“Wait, Noblesse didn’t mean nobility, but was it just a tribal name? And if there are 7 races, why are you only talking about 5?”
“Ask me one by one.”
“Then tell me the race first. Why are there 7 races and not 5?”
“That is confidential.”
“No, there.”
“It is a kind of taboo that there were 7 『Advanced races』 In the first place. You won’t know unless you become Noblesse.”

Then why did you tell me

“…”

She didn’t speak for a while.
Was she sorry for what she said or was there something she couldn’t say.

“Maybe you… “
“Yes?”
“Nothing.”
“What is fresh?”
“It is taboo in the Tower to mention the other two races. No, I didn’t even know before that. Most of them just know that they are the 『Advanced 5 races』 From the beginning.”
“How do you know?”
“Because I am Noblesse.”
“I see.”

You have great racial pride.

“It’s not comparable to 『Dragonians』, But since they are too few in number and don’t have much interest in the world, it’s us 『Noblesse』 Who actually manages and governs the tower. Of course, we also manage confidential information.”

But no matter how much it is, is it okay for a single instructor at an academy like this to know? In fact, he’s talking to me casually.

“Telling such classified information to Si-hwan, who is a ‘human’… Does that mean that one of the other two races is a 『Human』?”

Huh?
Are humans an advanced species?
Being discriminated against like this and being driven into slavery?

“…Smart. Unlike my master.”
“I have some.”
“Hey.”
“Yeah, that’s right. One of the other two races is 『Human』.”
“The back and forth don’t match. Why do humans who are such a great “Advanced race” Live with such discrimination? And they’re all treated worse than outsiders.”
“Actually, they are inferior to those of an alien race.”
“…”

Is something not right?
Are you feeling it too? That what you say yourself is a mess.

“Human power is only demonstrated when united as a group. Individual human strength is insignificant. It is a human skill to be fooled by an out-of-kind beastman right now.”
“Not all will be like that. There are some great people out there.”

Like me

“Do you think beastmen don’t have such an existence?”
“…That’s right.”
“Human beings can spread their waist only when at least 30 million people gather. If you don’t, you’re no different from an alien race. At least, it’s less than that now.”

Okay. I get it.
But human fertility is no joke.
Even in ancient China, in the early Han Dynasty, there were already 30 million shots. Not all of humanity, but only in China.

“Humans cannot call numbers.”
“Why.”
“Because I’m preventing you from doing that.”
“?”
“The people inside the tower are slaves anyway, so it doesn’t matter, but if the number of people outside exceeds 10 million… “

In an instant, her red eyes felt even redder.

“The ‘Conservator’ moves and kills half the humans outside the tower.”

Killing half of the population just by reaching 10 million?
What kind of bullshit is this again?

“A mere 10 million people can’t stop the trustees. If there is just one more, half the population will be exterminated.”
“I’m out of my mind.”

I thought about killing 300 test takers,
These guys are really not normal.

“Therefore, human states carry out ‘population management’ on their own, and each village, city, and province has a population limit, and if that number is exceeded, they are sold to the tower or killed by humans themselves.”
“…”
“That is the current address of the former “Advanced race” Humans. Luna’s ancestors also entered the tower like that.”

That’s terrible.
At the same time, it’s a screaming sound.

No matter how much I’m not a human here, I can’t help but be angry if my own people are being treated like that.

“I know it’s like that now. But why are you doing that? They said they were originally an “Advanced race”.”

Even that fact has now become a secret and is completely unknown except for those who know.

Why the hell
Do that

“Didn’t we talk about the Tower of God project?”
“Yes?”
“I will continue.”
“No, wait, at the question—”
“The answer is here.”
“…”

Tower of God Project.

This has devastated the entire continent.
All resources and lives are spent on building the tower, and what remains is stored in the tower.

A famine to the point of being terrifying occurred everywhere, and some alien races rose up, but they could not overcome the overwhelming power of the 『Advanced race』.

After 500 years or so, when the tower reached the 5th floor, a problem occurred.

Previously, they knew that the territory was insufficient anyway, so the 『Advanced 7 Races』 Lived by making concessions to each other. They strolled through the four floors without restrictions and mingled with each other.

And then…

When it became vaguely enough territory, the conflict began.

In the 〈 Summit 〉, which determines the fate of the entire continent as well as the inside of the tower, it is distributed to the five floors.

The first floor is 『Human』 And 『?』

2nd floor is 『Dwarf』 And 『Elf』

The 3rd floor is “Evils”

4th floor is 『Noblesse』

The 5th floor is 『Dragonian』

It was an assignment that had no choice but to be dissatisfied.

The 1st and 2nd floors are shared by 4 races, but starting with the Asmodians, 1 floor is used by 1 race?

It could be said that if the number is large, but among the 『Advanced 7 races』, The most numerous were 『Human』, And the next most numerous race was 『?』. And after that, 『Elf』 And 『Dwarf』.

In other words, the two most populous races were put on the first floor, and the next largest races were put on the second floor.

It was said that if more towers were built later, they would be given priority, but it would take 300 years to build three more floors.

Of course you have to be angry.

『Humans』 Tried to fight against them by concentrating the anger of the four races.

However, starting with 『Asmodian』, The difference in power was drastically different, and in the case of 『Dwarves』 And 『Elf』, The population was at a level where they could be covered to some extent even if they lived together, so there was not much inconvenience when living there.

In the end, the concentration of anger failed.

『Dwarves』 And 『Elfs』 Were complacent.

It was 『Humans』 And 『?』 Who finally complained like that.

The situation was not peaceful enough for the two to coexist on the first floor.
In both cases, the population growth rate was severely upward, and at this rate, it would not be long before they suffered from a serious land shortage.

That said, those whose arrogance and pride pierce the sky as an “Advanced race” Now live outside the tower? With a lowly alien race?

That was impossible.

“After all, humans waged war there. It was the first war between the “Advanced races”. They used the overwhelming population as a weapon to annihilate each other, and occupied the first floor by force.”

Aha.

“Humans are kind of… They like war. But isn’t the cause of that bastard’s 〈 Summit 〉? It’s ridiculous. So why are you assigning that way?”

『Asmodian』, 『Noblesse』, 『Dragonian』, Even if you combine them, they are not even as good as 『Elf』, Let alone 『Human』.

“Okay. If it had ended there, I could have just moved on. But humans did not stop there. I wasn’t satisfied with the first floor.”
“No way.”
“Immediately, they invaded the second floor and even invaded the territory of 『Elves』 And 『Dwarves』. Even though I was promised that if I wait 100 years, more towers would be built and they would be assigned first, I couldn’t stand it.”

Her eyes her were truly murderous.
It is to hate people who only covet what is right in front of their eyes.

But here it is.
For humans, 100 years is 3 generations.
