186. The dreamer 2
“…there are only three?”
[Because you have to meet the qualifications to enter this place.]
“Are you talking about dreaming?”
The place where the manager is confined is a dream, a world far from reality.
Of course, you have to come here to save the manager, so you must dream.
[It’s a dream within a dream, to be exact.]
[Do you see the door over there?]
Pot!
Looking at the place the manager pointed to, I was able to find a white door placed in a pure white space.
[The name of that door is ‘Beyond the Unconscious’]
[This is the entrance.]
In order for an ordinary human to enter this place, they must pass through the door called ‘Beyond the Unconscious’, which appears in a dream with a probability of 1/5922.
[If you pass through ‘the other side of the unconscious’]
[You will be able to escape your dreams.]
[In that way, you can invite people who have escaped their dreams to this place.] If
you use this method, you do not have to use a dream ticket. you can get here
“It’s pretty tough… but the odds aren’t that low.”
1/5922
At first glance, it seems like an atrocious probability, but if you think about it, the roulette probability is not too different from that.
It’s already been three years since the dimension movers landed on the Azul continent, so no matter how unlucky, four or five people should have visited.
“Looks like there are other conditions.”
[In fact, not only dimension movers]
[Many people have visited this place.]
[Because ‘the other side of the unconscious’ is a phenomenon that anyone can encounter if they dream.]
The administrator explained the situation to the people who visited this place and gave them strength. I borrowed it and asked to release the seal.
But what the heck.
The moment they woke up, they forgot all the manager’s promise.
“You forgot your promise?”
[I found out about it]
[When I met someone who had visited this place twice.]
The manager was happy to remember him, but he didn’t recognize him at all.
“How long has it been since we met?”
[Probably five years after the first visit.]
“That’s definitely strange.”
There is no way that such an important promise will be forgotten in just five years.
Unless you do something tricky.
[I thought that was strange too.]
[After desperately researching, I found out the cause.]
The cause was the seal on the administrator’s body.
This seal not only binds the manager, but also contains a special curse that erases what happened in a dream the moment a human enters this place wakes up.
[To stop me from escaping from here]
[They erased their memories and promises about me.]
Actually, some dimension movers also visited this place through ‘the other side of the unconscious’, but they forgot everything the moment they woke up.
“To break the seal, you must come in through a dream, but you set up a barrier that makes you forget your dream when you wake up…” [They are
really meticulous. Isn’t that so?]
“They’re not normal bets.”
I felt the will and tenacity to do my best to block the administrator’s seal.
No matter what happens, it seems that the seal cannot be broken.
“But seeing that three people, including me, said they were successful, you mean they found a way, right?”
[That’s right.]
[Because the dream-forgetting effect is a kind of curse.]
“You’ve created a blessing to block that.”
The manager did not give up and found the answer.
He studied the curse and created a blessing that could nullify it.
[But there was an important problem.]
[Even if I wanted to bless people]
[Everyone had their own god, so I couldn’t bless them.]
The Azul continent is a world where the greater your faith in God, the more you can receive in return. It is fundamental to believe in and follow God.
“What about professions with extremely low religious affiliation, such as wizards and thieves?”
[They just don’t live a life of faith]
[Fire magicians follow the teachings
of the fire god] [Thieves pray to the dice god and bet money.]
Moreover, even people with very low religious beliefs couldn’t ignore the power of the gods themselves, so even if they weren’t conscious of it, In his heart, he was serving his own god.
[There is a difference between a heart that believes in God and a heart that fears]
[There is a difference of one piece of paper.]
“In the end, as long as I was born on the Azul continent, I cannot be separated from God… What do you mean?”
[That’s how it is.]
The Administrator didn’t give up and wanted to find a human who didn’t fear or believe in God who could receive his blessing.
[As expected, it didn’t exist in this world.]
“To be precise, the number was so small that it was close to nonexistent.”
In the first place, such people are very few even on the Azul continent, and the probability that those very few uneducated men will break through the 1/5922 probability to enter ‘the other side of the unconscious’ was close to 0%.
[Then I suddenly thought of it.]
If there is no human to save you in this world, how about looking for another world?
Thinking so, the manager started a search.
“Then I found the Earth. What are you talking about?”
[Because I was trapped in a dream for a long time]
[It was a piece of cake to spy on other beings’ dreams.] While
looking beyond the dimension through a dream, the manager discovered a unique world.
[Although the influence of divine beings is not small]
[There are quite a few people who do not follow gods.]
[A dimension where magic does not exist at all.]
[However, the concept of skills and magic exists.] The world
the manager discovered is It was ‘Earth’, the hometown of Kang Seung-hyun and other dimension movers.
[People here]
[I was convinced that they could save me.]
“Now I understand.”
The reason why the manager had to drag slaves from an earth far away from another world, leaving the citizens of Azul in good shape.
“The conditions were just right, so that’s why they brought us.”
A world where there are people who have
a lot of influence from the gods, but not too little,
have a concept of magic and skills, and have the intelligence to adapt and live quickly even if they suddenly fall into another world.
Among the worlds that satisfied all these conditions, the final choice was ‘Earth’.
“But why Korea? Considering that most of the dimension movers are Koreans, they seem to have come from Korea.”
[Because I know the status window well.]
“…Status window?”
[There are many interesting things on Earth.] [The most interesting element among them was
the ‘status window .’
found out about
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a god who lived and went to another dimension and read webtoons and web novels.”
[Because it’s a concept that didn’t exist on this side.]
“In the end, the reason why I chose a Korean was because the webtoon I accidentally read was interesting, so the crazy thing about web novels is that it’s fun, right?”
[It was quite fun. Something like a cider element.]
[What I liked the most was the status window.]
Organizing the target’s stats and skills in an easy-to-see way, easily acquiring new abilities, and even an inventory that utilized subspace.
The manager really liked the status window.
[That’s why I decided to introduce the status window system.]
Of course, creating a concept that didn’t exist before requires an enormous amount of power, so it’s impossible for a god who is sealed in a dream like now.
[Because it’s not possible to make it from scratch]
[Add this and that to the space created to collect and manage the sacred power collected from the followers in the heyday, then cover it with skins and slightly remodel it] So, I reused the system I made in the past
, It is said that they imitated the status window unreasonably.
“Is that why the other beings didn’t know about the status window?”
[It was made by mimicking the concept of Earth.]
It was natural that the gods did not know.
Who would have thought that a long-forgotten god would copy cheat keys from another world and make them?
“But everything is good, so why roulette? The odds of that too are filthy low…”
[There are a lot of draws in games played by earthlings]
[I thought everyone liked the draw element.]
“Didn’t you see the swearing!”
Empty!
Kang Seung-hyun kicked the cube to vent his anger.
It must have been done deliberately, considering that the historical evidence has been maintained this far.
“Rather than that, if you’re going to create a status window from scratch, why don’t you leave a contact number telling you to come and find it in your dreams?”
[I wanted to do that too, but]
[Because of the seal, it’s impossible to interfere with reality.]
Not only was the Administrator confined in a dream, but he couldn’t even leave a trace of himself in reality.
[I can export things in my dreams to reality, but]
[If I put information about myself in there]
It goes smoothly.
Along with this message, a book appeared in the air.
[How to go to meet the dreamer] was written in the book, but it was soon erased without a trace.
[It disappears like this.]
“This is also the effect of the curse of the seal. You can’t leave information in reality…”
[It was the same with the status window.]
The manager tried to record himself in the status window, but gave up because everything was erased no matter how many times he tried.
Thanks to this, the dimension movers were brought in without knowing anything.
[I wanted to help you more actively, too]
[I couldn’t do anything because of the seal]
[I still feel very sorry for everyone.]
“….”
[So I want you to adapt to this place without my help. I chose.]
Because there was a limit to what he could do.
It was not a coincidence that the Administrator chose an Earthling, but rather an inevitability.
[In fact, some dimension movers
were] [rejoiced as soon as they came to this world.]
[My choice was not wrong.]
“There were many people who were dragged into a strange world for no reason and panicked.”
Kang Seung-hyun remembered the first time he came to the Azul Continent.
As the manager said, there were many people who had been waiting for the awakening of the status window and life in another world, but there were also many people who missed their family and friends and cried because they wanted to go home.
[I’m sorry about that.]
“You don’t seem very sorry, do you?”
[I’m really sorry.]
“…Anyway, let’s continue our conversation.”
[Okay.]
Talking about the past is pointless.
That’s already a story from 3 years ago.
[Anyway, I couldn’t communicate with you, so I had no choice but to wait for you to come here.]
Approximately six months after the dimension mover was drawn in.
It is said that dimension movers have finally set foot here.
[I was very happy and explained the situation]
[I tried to bless him with a request to save me.]
But the manager couldn’t put a blessing on him.
[But there was something I hadn’t thought of.]
