Chapter 2 – 01. A Strange World
+++
“Congratulations. Unexpectedly great success. First attempt.”
“…”
Finally did it
To explain the process, it would make a really long story, but I will omit it because it will be boring.
It’s an unbelievable situation, but Bari and I came to a new world through a black hole. To express it in three words, it would be ‘another world’.
“I haven’t been able to figure out what kind of place it is, but I can see enough life reactions around it. Wouldn’t this be able to satisfy Sihwan’s desire? It’s a real world made of flesh and blood, not a game world.”
Bari approached with his straight hair extended to his waist. She just changed her hair style. Is he a diversion?
“Is it? Certainly better than games.”
Although it’s in a strange room right now.
What is it Could it be a mental room?
“But one problem arose.”
“Huh? A problem?”
She made her slightly troubled face and placed her right hand on her collarbone.
“Basically, this ‘terminal’ and my body on the planet Ryu Si-hwan have a multi-dimensional connection using quantum entanglement. Therefore, in theory, real-time communication is possible not only from end to end of the universe, but also from other dimensions.”
“Only?”
“No. It’s disconnected.”
“…Why?”
“I do not know.”
“…”
“…”
I felt something cheap. That’s huge too.
“For now, we are using the functions of this terminal as an emergency measure, but please understand that the performance will inevitably be somewhat reduced.”
“Now, wait a minute…”
“Yes.”
“I don’t understand a little bit and I’m anxious, but… In a word, it means that I can’t connect with my house, right now?”
“You’re right.”
“That’s why you can’t connect to the real body, so you’re operating based on the CPU in this little body.”
“It’s a stopgap measure.”
“Then what about the server?”
“…”
“You said my consciousness was there?”
“That’s not true. When Sihwan’s body reaches death, it will be uploaded right before that.”
“…Wait a minute…But anyway, isn’t it considered dead because you lost contact with us in your original nature? Even you lost contact. Then…”
In the worst case, another me and another Bari might be born and active.
Isn’t that a bit…A terrible situation?
“Before the connection was cut, we detected an unusual situation and took action. Because the AI of Planet Ryu Si-hwan was given an auxiliary ID, the super-intelligence interface-based home AI ‘Bari’ moved its body to this terminal. What are you worried about? It doesn’t happen.”
“Uh, yeah…?”
“However, as of now, the connection to the server has been cut off, so when Shihwan’s body is destroyed, it means permanent death.”
“…”
“Be careful with that.”
“…”
Ah…
Something doesn’t come out
Is this dangerous?
I came to a completely different world,
I don’t even know what world it is
Disconnected?
Isn’t this dangerous?
“Is it true…”
Bari came up to me while I was half despairing and stroked my cheek.
Even in this situation, it is still calm.
Is it because it’s a machine?
“Do not worry too much. It’s a weak spec that can’t be compared to this performance, but as long as I’m there, Sihwan-nim won’t be in danger.”
“….”
Warm hand.
Strangely, the tension was relieved.
… Okay.
Think positively.
There is Bari next to me, right?
There is a ridiculous existence right next to it that turns the entire planet into a machine.
Rather, let’s think it’s good.
You really came to another world, not a game.
Let’s enjoy! The present.
“Okay. Thank you.”
Having calmed down, I looked around.
As I said before, you are in a strange room.
I came to a different world, I wanted to see open nature.
A room full of white, as if someone is going to suffer from mental illness.
The size is not that big either.
“The room is 321 cm long, 321 cm wide, and 522 cm high. The scan showed no hazardous substances and it was confirmed that there is a large open space beyond the front door.”
Bari, who listed simple information, moved quickly. Maybe you want to open the door.
But her actions were stopped.
A large hologram appeared in front of her.
Because it looked like a bulletin board.
“This…?”
Curious, she put her hand to the bulletin board.
Just in time, letters began to appear in the empty space.
[Error. Unidentified creature confirmed.]
[Updating information….]
[Tribe… Human]
[Gender… Other]
[Age… 23]
What is this?
Is this my info?
[Ryu Si-hwan, you are an uninvited guest.]
Doo! That’s my name!
When I looked at Bari in surprise, she was surprised as well.
“Shihwan-nim’s information… There are no signs of hacking… That’s great. It seems to have the same level of navigation as mine.”
“OMG.”
It has the same search function as Bari, which analyzes the information in atomic units and digs up the information of the target? This is what farts are.
[In addition, a very low threshold was identified in the race category. We recommend that you go back to where you were. However, if you want to step forward despite knowing your shortcomings and recognizing that it is a reckless challenge, open the door and come out.]
“What the hell is this…”
Barry turned his head towards the door.
“About 900 creatures exist in the plaza beyond the visitation, and most of them are in a state of excitement and tension as a result of the emotion scan. As the intention to kill is read occasionally, it is predicted that something equivalent to ‘act of combat’ will occur.”
“Eh?”
It’s a battle act… As soon as it arrives?
“What would you like to do?”
“How do you sleep and you don’t know what the situation is right now. Is there any other notice?”
The contents of the guide have been changed.
[This is a test site to select the ‘Warrior of the Tower’. There are a total of 3 stages of the test, and those who pass all of them are qualified as Top Academy trainees.]
Are you listening to me? Can you talk?
[Available.]
“Oh…Then let me ask you, what the hell is a ‘Warrior in the Tower’?”
[Warriors of the tower are those who pioneer the tower built in the center of the continent. Because this job involves considerable difficulties and crises, we are recruiting only those who exceed a certain standard, and among them, their activities are restricted due to their divided grades.]
“Ooh. Then what kind of tutorial is this?”
“Shihwan-nim. I have something to tell you.”
Barry took me to the corner of the room.
“The laws of this world seem to be of a very different character than those in which we have lived.”
“It’s the same? It’s surprising. Barry would say such a thing.”
“Because nothing is certain yet.”
“Hmm…So what’s so different?”
“I will explain with an easy example.”
He nodded his head as if to do it.
“Currently, Shihwan’s grip strength is about 55kg. What should I do to raise this grip to 60kg?”
“You can inject nano-robots. Or edit your body.”
“…In a natural way.”
“You can exercise.”
“Yes. You should exercise.”
“Isn’t it here?”
“It’s the same as having to exercise. But the way it’s applied is different. In our universe, when you exercise, the effect is immediately reflected in your body. The process of muscle tearing and then recovering again. That’s when you build muscle. “
“Yes.”
“But it’s different here. When you exercise, that information is primarily sent to other places.”
“Yes?”
“And from there, a conclusion is drawn from the calculation and sent to the corresponding body. Then, the body changes according to the result.”
“?”
I don’t know what you’re talking about. You said it was easy?
“You can think of it as a game. In a virtual reality game, if you do a lot of arm exercises, you won’t gain muscle.”
“It sticks. By stats.”
“It’s not because of the arm exercise, it’s because ‘the muscle level was changed.’ If you set the arm exercise to have no effect on the muscles, the muscles will never attach even if you move 200 million times. That’s the world in the simulation.”
“Ah! I think I roughly understand what you mean.”
“This is governed by similar laws.”
“Wow…So…You can just think of it as a different world like a game?”
“Yes. You can see it as a game-like system. However, in the case of Sihwan and I, it seems that both the laws of the existing world and the laws of this place apply.”
That’s right… It’s a new world…
“But is that in our favor?”
“Theoretically, the place where the information of this world gathers… I will arbitrarily call it ‘server’. It is also possible to hack servers and manipulate certain information.”
“… So you’re saying it’s possible to just hack into this world and increase my muscle mass or something?”
“Theoretically.”
“Wow….”
Is it god huh? Were you a god
“Of course, this is not possible with the current specs. It would probably be difficult to bring the main body from the planet Ryu Si-hwan.”
“Anyway, it’s theoretically possible, right? Where is that anyway?”
Just the fact that there is a possibility to create a new item or give it power is a scam.
[You have an artifact that is beyond our understanding.]
At that time, the guide reacted very kindly. The borders of the text moved around as if they were dancing.
“Who are you?”
[I am an Artifact assigned to guide the test.]
“Is it like a tutorial npc?”
“You are correct.”
[Yes?]
“I see. So, can I see some stats?”
[…Yes?]
This guy showed a stupid reaction twice.
“It’s a game-like system, right? Then you should have stats. Isn’t that the national rule?”
[Hmm…Hmm…If you’re talking about numerical information, yes, it’s possible. If you have the will to see it, you can see it anytime.]
Build the will to see…
Like this… ?

Well… It’s up.
There are things like stats… Well, I don’t know what the max value is, so it’s okay, but….
Are you saying I’m arrogant?
I never really thought I was arrogant. Doesn’t the tendency to be free-arrogant mean that I’m free and arrogant?
“Exactly.”
“… Where?”
“Very accurate.”
Barry nodded in agreement.
Sometimes he jokes like this, so I don’t know if he’s serious or not… Hmm… Be arrogant
“Are you floating too?”
“I….”
Barry stared into space.
It looks like it opened an information window like me… The expression is not very good. Did it come out badly?
“It comes out as an artifact. As Si-Hwan-nim sees, the life information window does not open.”
“I see. It’s a machine, so what?”
“….”
I can’t help it because it’s not a living thing… If it’s an artifact, does it come out as a kind of item? That’s kinda pitiful
“Can we go outside?”
[If you want to become a tower warrior, open the door and come out.]
“What if you don’t like it?”
[You have to go back to where you were.]
“What if there is no way to go?”
[Then I can’t help it. Just open the door and come out.]
“… You are reckless.”
It’s ridiculous. They say to go back if you’re scared, but they don’t suggest a way to go back… Are you a loser?
[Choose.]
“Let’s go, Bari.”
“Yes.”
Well, it doesn’t matter because there’s Bari. Let’s go out at once
This bastard’s other world, let me experience it once.
