《Circle of Shards》Q&A 1
Advertisement
Author's note:
Well, the story is reaching whole new arc. The promised Questions and Answers are here. Not that many, but I got some interesting PMs. As I got questions only through RRL, this Q&A will be also exclusively posted here.
What Word is MC then?
There are some hints, but revealing it will come later. Every person, unless special case like almost uniformly water-souled Taistealaithe, has to realize his Word himself, as there may be special nuances associated with the deep meaning of specific words (like “hundred words for snow” situation)
Who made the Frankensteins?
One of the mages’ fraction that participated in the all-out war between city states. Basically, the mages-ruled world was composed of many city-states similar to medieval Italy. And each area had their own specialties and know-how. Some were necromancers, some technomages, animal-breeders, body enhancers, controllers, druids, some built magic-powered golems, while others built TES-style Dwemer-like soul-powered tech and so on. And if we add all sort of mixed skills, there were all sort of combinations. And of course, some city got mages that focused on controlling corpse dolls, which needed quite a lot of processing so that these could do more than just wander around and get stuck in narrow places. All the above led to continuous technological race, where cities constantly competed with each other openly and undercover (competitions, espionage, intrigues etc). An artifact like Beating Iceheart was of strategic importance, so when the global war finally broke out, quite a few forces went for that.
Who threw the spear?
Unknown, yet ^^
So, what was the world with pyramids? Xibalba?
Nah, Mayan Xibalba would be much more crowded, bloody and stuff, as it would be quite actively revitalized by constant studies of Mayan folklore and surviving religious groups that claim to be "traditional Mayan believers". It was an early “dreamland” created from the dream of an unknown powerful priest from early Mesoamerican culture.

Who were the mages?
Refugees of another magic civilization that left their old world. Went the way of developing magic instead of technology.
What is Beating Iceheart?
An artifact of unknown origin (OOPArt), which ended up in the magic civilization where mages first came from. And was taken with them when they changed worlds. Such things drift around countless worlds among endless piles of junk. Because different worlds may have differences in natural laws, replicating an item that by some chance keeps working according to completely different principles is usually impossible.
Why didn’t MC do , he got supermemory and insane processing speed?
Well, yes, most of his mental powers go towards that rather cool-headed patient attitude he got (or rather, I tried to convey it like that). He may remember thousands of book/movie/etc scenarios, but he still needs to adapt those to current situation = so sometimes “obvious” solutions may be difficult to see even for a “superhuman”.
Our Earth is the “First World” and central world and whatever? Why?
Insane creativity of humans is to blame. ALmost no fantasy describe elves/other races as very imaginative, so I designed a vast majority of worlds to be created by humans (yes, there are Middle-Earth, Westeros, Coruscant, a dozen versions of Hells etc somewhere around), with some of them having a time paradox of having history longer than the Earth itself (lets say hello to xianxia with worlds hundreds of billions years old).
You don’t reveal what Word is MC, but at least, what stage is his Word? According to chapter 28, stages are Word I never said that that grading of stages is correct. ^.^ It was just a conjecture by Victor and Eala.

The Great Erectus and Faun
The Great Erectus, otherwise known as "The Big Guy" is NOT a god. Don't call him that. It will tick him off. He and his newfound apprentice/sidekick the definitely not a creation goddess Faun have a little problem. The Big Guy's universe is blowing up. Faun might have had something to do with that. (She feels awful about it BTW) They must rush about the unraveling universe saving (or judging) worlds as the end of all things is bearing down upon them at the speed of light, so they have a bit of time but really can't mess about. Along the way they will encounter Lovecraftian horrors, divine ex-girlfriends, surly AI's and a host of other hassles. Enjoy such delights as the complete destruction of the universe, a children's "Christmas pageant" except where "the greatest story ever told" involves an eldritch horror from another universe, and an innocent misunderstanding concerning the exact definition of a "red dwarf". Existential dread! Lovecraftian comedy! It's as much madness as can be shoved into a single work and still remotely make sense! If you enjoy completely off the hook lunacy, this one is for you!
