MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 1234  The Truth Behind Greater Beyond (1)

”Well, I wasnʼt really expecting you to understand it from the get-go.” Seeing that Valyr only looked to understand her words from the outside, the young woman let out a faint sigh as she shook her head.

Closing her eyes for a bit as she mulled over the best way to explain the current situation to Valyr, the young woman soon looked back at him with a slightly wry smile. ”I know this will make you both curious and suspicious as to who I am, but after thinking over it for a bit, there really is no easier way to go about explaining it if I donʼt talk about it.”

Looking at her in slight confusion at those words, Valyrʼs eyes immediately widened in surprise the moment she asked him, ”You come from the future, right?”

”Specifically, a future where your universe lost against to our universe in some sort of final battle, right?”

”…” Feeling as if heʼd been laid bare at that very moment, the young man kept his mouth shut as he began to feel immense fear towards the young woman in front of him.

After all, the only person who knew that he was a regressor was none other than himself. The fact that their side lost the final battle, only for him to return to a time before Greater Beyond was open to the public was only something he knew.

Even if other people were to think that were something off about him, none of them would come to the conclusion that he was a regressor.

At most, with the knowledge he had, people would think of him as someone who was well-read, or in Vaughnʼs case, a reincarnator.

”…I knew this was going to happen.” Seeing that Valyr continued to remain silent after she was done asking her questions, the wry smile on the young womanʼs face deepened as she shook her head once more.

Then again, whether or not Valyr responded to her first couple questions, the young woman had already made up her mind to tell the young man the circumstances behind his current situation for various reasons.

 With that, she took in a deep breath before continuing where she left off. ”Since you donʼt have any plans on answering my questions, I guess you can consider my next words as hypotheticals, then.”

”Iʼm pretty sure youʼve already come to the conclusion that Greater Beyond isnʼt an ordinary game after what youʼve gone through in your past life. After all, the final battle you went through wouldnʼt have happened if it was.”

Although the young man opted not to respond to her questions, Valyr still nodded in agreement. After all, she was still going out of her way to explain his current situation to him.

”Well, to cut a long story short, the world of Greater Beyond that youʼve known while playing this game is actually a separate universe from your own,” said the young woman, causing Valyrʼs eyes to widen in disbelief yet again. ”Remember the log-in process that causes you to feel sick?”

”Thatʼs actually the process of your consciousness being transported to our universe.”

”Wait… huh?” Hearing those words, Valyr decided not to remain silent anymore as her explanation caused a few doubts to arise in his mind. ”Youʼre telling me… that our consciousnesses are being transferred to the world of Greater Beyond whenever we log in?”

”Correct.” The young woman nodded, inwardly glad that the young man in front of him stopped being silent.

”How are you doing that, then?” asked Valyr in response.

”You already know the answer to that,” replied the young woman with a slight chuckle. ”We use magic in order to transfer your consciousnesses here.”

”Magic?” Valyr became confused. He wouldʼve accepted the answer if Earth had some esoteric energy of its own like mana.

However, as far as he could recall, there was no such energy like that on Earth whatsoever, even up to the final battle.

With that, he asked his next question. ”Are you casting it from this world, then? Iʼm pretty sure Earth doesnʼt have any energy that resembles mana in any way.”

”It doesnʼt.” The young woman nodded in agreement. ”But it does have its own energy that we could convert to something like mana.”

”As far as I could tell, itʼs also widespread throughout the entire planet.”

”Energy…” Wondering what kind of energy the young woman was talking about, Valyr soon looked back at her with a raised eyebrow as he threw out a guess. ”Are you talking about… electricity?”

”Close.” The young woman let out a bit of laughter. ”Itʼs the more condensed form of it that could be converted to a rough form of mana.”

”Plasma?” asked the young man.

”That one.” The young woman nodded. ”The entire conversion process is pretty convoluted, but to sum things up, weʼre able to generate enough rough mana on your side to conjure a mark that would allow us to transfer your consciousness to this universe.”

”So, basically, you create an anchor from our end, then do most of the heavy lifting is on your end?”

”Correct.”

”Alright.” Valyr nodded, finding her explanation easier to understand than before.

However, that did not mean he was going to take it at face value. ”Letʼs say that really is the process that allows us to play the game. As someone whoʼs been in this world for quite some time now, I have no doubts that itʼs feasible, especially with a high class rank.”

”But how are you going to make me believe that your words are true?” asked the young man. ”You still havenʼt given me proof that the world of Greater Beyond is a separate universe from where Earth is, after all.”

”I was just about to get to that, actually,” replied the young woman with a slight smile, only to then snap her fingers soon after as she conjured a spatial rift beside her.

Whoosh!

Focusing his attention on the rift she created, Valyr was immediately left at a loss for words when he noticed that the destination on the other side of the rift was none other than a place almost everyone on Earth knew very well.

The Eiffel Tower.

Though, just as he felt an urge rise up from within to jump through the rift and return to Earth, his danger senses began to blare out in alarm all of a sudden, making him feel like he was just a few steps away from meeting certain death.

Wondering where the feeling was coming from, Valyr did not take long to pinpoint that the sensation originated from none other than the rift the young woman conjured, causing a slight frown to appear on his face the moment he arrived at that answer.

”Just so you know, even I would die if I were to head to Earth without making any preparations beforehand.” Closing the rift she conjured, the young woman gave Valyr a faint smile. ”So, do you believe me now?”

”A bit,” replied Valyr with the frown still on his face. ”After all, itʼs a bit hard to believe in something like that for the first time, even more so with how grand its scope is.”

”Donʼt worry,” the young woman reassured him. ”Iʼll go through everything step by step to make sure you thoroughly understand what Iʼm talking about.”

”Weʼre not lacking at all in time, anyway.”
