Through each era, mankind has made numerous inventions and developments.

Further down to fertilizers and washing machine condoms and air conditioners.

Every time mankind made great progress, it divided the era.

And each time we moved on to the next era, human life changed drastically.

Humanity, who had been sitting on the ground hitting stones, put iron in front of the fire without realizing it.

After a while, he wrote and drew pictures, and at some point he reached the point of floating heavy iron in the sea and flying it in the sky.

The woman, who was sitting by the river and washing the laundry, put her clothes in the washing machine and read a book.

Even in the summer when the intense heat hits everywhere, even people who catch a cold due to the air conditioner appear.

repetition of change.

Even though the same people lived on the same earth, life has changed drastically according to the times.

And now, only one man’s dogma has opened a new era.

A new era that put an end to the information age is the opening of the ‘gate era’.

“I never thought I would leave my name in history like this.”

After the sun returned to Earth, as Gremory warned, a crack formed in the dimensional veil that surrounded the giant dimensional Earth.

The mana of the universe surged into the earth to maintain a certain density, and the countless debris dimensions swirling around the universe also arrived at the earth at the same time.

A crumbly dimension, like a shipwreck arriving on the shoreline.

Mankind called it the Gate.

Treasure Ruins Monster Ain.

The contents of the debris dimension poured out from the large and small gates that appeared all over the earth.

There was also another name for the Gate Era.

player era.

The reason was simple.

Because a new generation has appeared.

Humanity defined them as ‘humans who can see the status window in reality’.

Also referred to as players or awakeners.

History books recorded the 300 million people who were trapped in the dimensional labyrinth as the first new people.

The New Humanity Awakener spread among humans like wildfire.

After the first new human race appeared, awakened people began to appear among ordinary people who were not related to the dimensional labyrinth.

Level 70 of the dimensional labyrinth.

The sun poured out on Balak.

“I don’t know what the standard is. Do you get stronger when you get achievements? But achievements are obtained when the standards set by the demon lord are met.”

“It is a curious thing.”

“But there are no standards at all? Either catch a powerful demon or do something ordinary people can’t do. Then you will be consistently awakened.”

Awakening conditions are also unknown.

Very few things are known for sure.

sure thing.

The status window that appears to the Awakened is the same as the dimensional labyrinth system on Earth.

“What is this really?”

“Still, there seems to be a formula.”

At the words of the sun, Balak’s eyes lit up.

“It’s nice to see consistency. I really don’t like this.”

I can’t help but dislike it.

The dimensional labyrinth was hell for the sun.

Even after returning to Earth, the factors that cause PTSD are scattered all over the place, so I can’t help but feel bad.

Balak nodded.

“I know roughly what happened.”

“okay?”

“It’s a common thing that happens in the process of opening an airtight dimension.”

“Is it common?”

“okay. Mana is a force that defies the laws of physics. Since such power has flowed in so rapidly, all sorts of mysteries that have never been observed have no choice but to spring up everywhere.”

Balak asked.

“Aside from the player system of the dimensional labyrinth, there must be many changes, right? Not the crumb dimension. So, for example, monsters of common animals or magical things happening to historical objects.”

“… … huh. I expected that. Because I warned you.”

“It’s on the same line as that.”

Artifacts become artifacts, and animals become monsters, monsters, and gods.

Humans have changed just like that.

“Why is that a system window?”

“hmm. It’s a guess, but it seems to me that the most familiar ability for humans on Earth is the player system in the dimensional labyrinth.”

Of course, this is just a hypothesis.

Hana Ballak thought my hypothesis was quite plausible.

“If not, 10% of humanity has been exposed to the player system in the dimensional labyrinth. In other words, the system window is the form of mana expression that is closest to the imagination of mankind on Earth. Maybe it’s natural.”

“under.”

The sun sighed.

Instead, Balak added, slapping Taeyang on the shoulder.

“In my opinion, it’s rather a good thing.”

“A good thing?”

“okay.”

Mana is the energy that actualizes the imagination and will of living beings.

But at the same time, it was also a medium that limited imagination and will the moment the phenomenon materialized.

“Dozens of demon lords gathered in the dimensional labyrinth. powers they used. Have you ever thought that it was more monotonous than you thought?”

The sun laughed at Balak’s words.

“Eh? monotonous If it was colorful, would it be colorful or monotonous? When I think of Dantalian’s crazy X who concocted 10,000 spells at the same time, I still… … .”

“Isn’t that strange?”

“what?”

“10,000 spells. Among them, there are skills that have reached the level of authority, and skills that have remained at the level of magic.”

“No, so what?”

“Dantalian collected ‘magic’ from tens of thousands of dimensions.”

Although there are differences in details such as the method of activation and accessibility, fundamentally, these are skills that would fit into the category of magic or witchcraft.

“Most intelligent life is like that. whether dragon, demon, or human. Everything you think is there.”

magic and sorcery.

and unarmed.

The imagination and aspirations of intelligent life in the primitive age are simpler than you think.

I want to breathe fire.

I want to be strong.

I want to make it rain.

want to run fast

I want to spray lightning.

I want to seduce the opposite sex.

“Simple, intuitive and primitive.”

“uh… … .”

“Of course. Mana fixes the imagination, and no matter how intelligent life is, there is a limit to the imagination that can be done in the primitive age.”

The development of magic is the process of breaking the imagination of their ancestors.

The development of martial arts is also a work that goes beyond the limits set by the sijo.

“There is nothing wrong with being primitive and intuitive. However, it would be a bit disappointing if it could be uniformly discovered in thousands of dimensions.”

In contrast, what about Earth?

Thanks to the shared non-primitive imagination of the majority of humanity, a completely different form of mystery has emerged.

“Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s good. If you look at it coldly, the player system itself isn’t bad. Rather, it was overwhelmingly more sophisticated than magic martial arts.”

In the first place, the player system was a tool designed by Dantalian and other smart demon lords to maximize the player’s abilities.

“but. Come to think of it, yes.”

The sun nodded involuntarily.

What is the reason why some people turn away from reality and fall in love with games?

This is because games, unlike reality, quantify achievements and return as tangible rewards.

“Besides, the player system sets the direction for people to grow… … .”

“That’s it. There is no wrong way. There are other advantages of the player system in my opinion.”

As mentioned above, most living beings want to get a reward in some way.

However, the premise is attached.

If possible, through an easy way.

With the development of computers, more and more people are satisfied with vicarious satisfaction by raising the strength stats of game characters instead of exercising.

More and more people are watching adult videos instead of seducing real people and taking them to bed.

why?

Because it’s easy.

It is natural to seek the easy.

“The player system turns an unclear goal into a clear one. With that alone, achieving your goals becomes very easy.”

Deep down, Balak was envious of Earth’s player system.

Balak asked, swallowing regret inwardly.

“So have you thought about it?”

“what? King?”

“okay. To become the ruler of Earth’s mankind.”

The sun waved its hand at Balak’s words.

“take no interest.”

“A new resource called mana will stir the earth into chaos. War disasters will spread like mushrooms after rain. Without a clear focal point, your humanity may suffer great scars that will go down in history.”

“Because I am not interested. I just need to protect my surroundings. And in the first place, I can’t be the president of mankind. Just be strong. Does history prove it? A foolish and strong monarch ruins a country.”

Balak was speechless at the sight of Taeyang, who was so self-objectifying.

“Hmm. There will be many transcendentalists. Among them, an entity that threatens your stronghold may appear.”

“Then it seems like it is.”

“Are you really saying it doesn’t matter if humanity perishes?”

“If I go to the point of ruin, I will have to do something. however… … no what do you say? Is there anything I can do? Not even ten bodies. There’s going to be a shithole all over the world at the same time, so what are you saying to me?”

Ballak sighed and licked his lips.

It was a pity for Balak, who wanted to open the waters of exchange with Earth civilization as early as possible.

“If you want to do it, there is Changcheon and Eden.”

Even though all players returned to their home dimension, the Changcheon and Eden dimension labyrinths were still connected.

You can close it if you want to, but it’s because the sun didn’t bother to close the gate.

If danger arises, it should be closed, but Taeyang thought of the possibility of exchange.

Of course, they weren’t interacting right now, full of confusion.

“Even if it wasn’t so, I started interacting with the two dimensions. Although at a simple level.”

The two dimensions and the Earth were different from the situation.

In the case of Eden and Changchun, since mana existed in the first place, there was little confusion even if there was a gap in the dimensional curtain.

“hmm. Are they doing well?”

“Thanks to the landing of the debris dimension, there is confusion, but… … Things are better than Earth.”

“shit. Isn’t it almost extinction if it’s worse than Earth?”

Balak, who had lost interest at the moment when the exchange with the Earth was disrupted, rose from his seat.

“Why don’t you go and see for yourself.”

“uh? Is that okay?”

“There is nothing to be done. However, you will have to endure the backlash of the dimension.”

“Wasn’t it weakened because of the gap?”

“It’s just that it’s gotten weaker, but it’s there. Taeyang, I’m going to wake up.”

“Eh already?”

“A monarch is busy.”

Huung.

Balak jumped through space and disappeared.

The sun, left alone earlier than expected, scratched the back of his head.

“Uh hmm. Since we came all the way here, let’s go see Ran’s face.”
