Chapter 1764

“Wasn’t the cycle of the Gods of the Beginning just a safety device?”

At the S.A Group’s headquarters...

The development team was bombarded with questions.

The cycle of the gods—the development team simply called it the ‘level up cycle.’ Chairman Lim Cheolho also mentioned it directly at an executives and staff meeting. It wasn’t anything special.

Once a year in real time—the system checked the player’s growth level and grew the Gods of the Beginning to match. It was a safety device with the setting of ‘out of reach’ to avoid a mishap of the players’ growth catching up to them. Yes, the cycle of the Gods of the Beginning was purely related to growth. Yet at some point, a special meaning started to be assigned to it. It was by beings in Satisfy who weren’t players.

“The artificial intelligence changes the meaning of a concept that has already been established...? Isn’t this pretty dangerous? Is it okay for an artificial intelligence to be the subject of change in the first place?”

So far, Satisfy’s worldview had changed in real time. These were the changes made by the intervention of the players.

It was a phenomenon in Satisfy tolerated under the banner of ‘a world created by players.’ Conversely, a world created by an artificial intelligence, not players, wasn’t something the S.A Group could bear. There were many people who refuted the concerns of the executives.

“Why isn’t it okay? Even if they are named NPCs, they can change their natural destiny with their own position and judgment.”

“The problem is that the artificial intelligence of a God of the Beginning is far superior to the artificial intelligence of named NPCs. Additionally, the authority is strong enough to play some of the roles that GMs usually play in games. Do you think the scale of change they are looking for will be the same as the scale of change shown by the named NPCs?”

“Right. It is a situation we need to guard against.”

“This is just a guess. It is extremely unlikely that the Gods of the Beginning will seek change at their own discretion. They must’ve been directly or indirectly influenced by players, even if we haven’t figured it out yet. Executives, do you know a town called Landam?”

“Landam...? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“It is a small town in the northern part of the Fold Kingdom. It is a very ordinary town with a population of less than 3,000 and no celebrities. There are no mines or hunting grounds nearby, so most players don’t even know it exists. Or they just passed by it because it was insignificant.”

“However?”

“The village has held a festival every year since five years ago. It is a small town festival that celebrates the release of jelly pumpkins, which was born thanks to the coincidence of the climate changing when Lauel used magic on a battlefield near Landam. It has become the only pride of the village, which was simple and had nothing.”

“......”

“It is the influence and change caused by Lauel, even though Lauel doesn’t know it. There must surely be the intervention of players behind the cycle of the Gods of the Beginning changing to something else.”

“...Hmm, but is the hierarchy of the Gods of the Beginning one that can be affected by players?”

The executives, who weren’t easily convinced, soon sighed. It was while they were looking at Grid on the screen.

“The original cycle. It wasn’t anything special. It was more like a routine that repeated itself every three years… but that day. Everything changed...”

Deep wrinkles appeared under the eyes of the Specter, which could be seen through the mask. Her face crumpled like a piece of paper when he recalled that day.

“No... from the beginning. It wasn’t different. At first... It was the same as usual. My god went around encouraging the dead, who had just landed in hell... some of the dead adapted to life in hell, made offerings to the gods, never crossed the river of reincarnation, and spent the rest of their lives in hell... they said they wanted to live. They prayed...”

They were memories from too long ago. It was from before hell was distorted. They were memories from when the Specter was young and innocent. Thus, there were many blurry parts. She had many forgotten memories. At this moment, they started to rise like a kaleidoscope.
