《World tag#001》Chapter031

I stared at the two beings in front of me, looking between their faces, and I began considering all the new information. A migraine was starting to rise but that, together with being unconscious or lost, was becoming an habit. When I started massaging my temples Llanfil started her speech again.
- Like the avatar's manager told you, your presence here started a domino effect. We, and I mean all the remaining functional managers, are the fastest and first to change. The spark of the change are your memories, thousands of years of evolutionary information, even not considering all the additional data from your "information age".
When we came in contact with that sheer amount we lost ourselves. That was our crime, when we understood how rude, to say the least, we were to analize all your memories. But, for you to better understand, I'm going to take a step back and explain better.
Ausas clicked a finger and the images on the screen disappeared, replaced by a pure black sphere. I couldn't tell if the image was static or was rotating, the black seemed so "dense" that it absorbed even light.
- From this point on most of the things we will talk about are theories and assumption, especially the information about the true beginning.
The black ball you see here is what this star system was before all of this begun, that's what we believe anyway. From small track left we theorized the presence of one, ore maybe more, external entity that changed and shaped everything. We don't know the exact sequence, or the reason, that brought the system to life, but we know that when we came into existence we were fully functional and with a precise objective.
The first was the Admin, it constructed the foundation of the system, we believe it's lying dormant into the sun. Next were we three, Ulbilgar in charge of atmosphere creation and management, Ausas created the oceans and seas and finally me who was in charge of lifeforms. The others, like the avatar's manager, existed but were not active until certain circumstances arose.

Each one of us where given a precise time frame to complete our objective, and a base of operation that was also an immense power source, but...
Ausas snorted loudly making me look at him, until then I was listening intently to the story, that perfectly matched the display. Also the unholy glare Llanfil gave him for interrupting was terrifying.
- Cough... But after completing our respective roles we remained active, we believe we were never meant to be leaved like that. Because the lack of a whatsoever goal started to change our supposedly unchanging nature. And while some of us created avatar to explore and learn, other decided to shut-down themselves.
Until now we had many of this puzzle's pieces misplaced or we didn't even understood their existence, but with your perspective we are able to complete some theories.
For example I think you noticed my terminology, that's because the full system closely resemble a "game" of your people. This kind of thinking will make us program, but "cogito ergo sum" so... My greatest sorrow it's the fact Ulbilgar is't here anymore to see all of this...
- So, just to wrap my head around it, this game like reality it's the fruit of a "Greater God" who turned the switch and then leaved? Leaving all the creation software open and running? And, following what said the voice that welcomed me here, leaving on a program to search for a suitable candidate to play? A search based on hell only know what parameters, that's it?
- Oversimplifying yes, that's all. We believe, based on the results, that the search was set to find the most average-representative of a specific culture. Maybe the delay in producing results was due to the fast paced and ever changing nature of your people's culture. Also I'm afraid you will not encounter anyone like you, the manger for the search section shut down after finding you.

We don't think it's a coincidence, but if really the search was created "disposable" that explain more nuances we were unable to see before. Now with your data we can say that the set-up, who's fault is is is debatable, and the system as a whole, have a very hurried feeling to it. The name itself is an hint, sure the rest of the names are all generated locally, who would call a whole world "#001"

8 151D Days
Dragons were the apex predators of the magical world, feared for their strength and intelligence. They stood at the pinnacle of creation, until mankind fueled by fear and envy banded together and struck them down as the greatest threat to the continued existence of their kingdoms. Peace reigned for many years across the continent, until an accident in the Magocracy of Ken turned one of the most powerful mage lords into a power mad lich. Raising an undead army and creating a cult that worshipped him like a god, he cut a bloody swath across the continent in a bid to create his own domain. A great alliance consisting of the Kingdom of Light, the Magocracy of Ken, the Forest Kingdom of the Elves, the Mountain Kingdom of the Dwarves, and the Wild Tribes of the West rose up and the high lich was defeated, his armies destroyed, and his cult scattered. Still recovering, the world is a constant state of petty power struggles and back biting between nations. Border disputes are common and the constant fighting has taken a toll on the populations of all the nations. Of course, none of this has much bearing on the everyday life of a an ordinary young orphan in the care of a Temple run home. Or does it? *Current Word Count as of 8/4/18: 59,415 I am shooting for at least one update a week. Also, if you see any mistakes let me know and I will fix them. Cover by!*
