Ceil prepared her script and said " I am here because I have found that the challenger has found a legacy that benefits from the breaking of realms " ' It's so new to see that the systems in these massive worlds are seen as legacy rather than one that builds on a world '
" She has ? " the angel asked surprised , while Ceil checked the official storybook , confirming that the uncovered information is not yet shown " It's private information , she and I know each other " the angel was cautious as they called the successor of the legacy .
An angel comes out , greeting Ceil " I've heard from the guard , It is good to see a player that aligns with heaven's doctrine . I am Themiel of the first circle " Ceil could see through behind the humanoid form of the angel .
" I am Ceil , as you can see me as a player who follows certain doctrines . My doctrine is based around preservation and truth " " And you come seeking the legacy to unite for what reason ? " " I'm sort of a historian and archaeologist who wishes to search for the main realm of heaven "
" You wish for that ? " Ceil nodded ' After all my senses are telling me there is a lot of lore I can uncover and it's sort of a way out ' " I have some understanding of these legacies or at least something similar to it "
Themiel stares at Ceil , who could feel that they were trying to understand and evaluate her " Allow her in , I will give you some access so that you may assist us " Ceil smiled and followed Themiel .
...
Meanwhile , Zaun was just blindly fighting against bosses , not caring about who was who and finally found the usual endgame content that he liked when playing those games behind screen ' Finally a boss rush tower '
He looked at the gate and recalled that Ceil would help him if he gathered lore on such boss rush towers ' Okay , so I have the translator she gave me ' he also took out a camera and snapped a photo of the gate as the translator worked with it and started to decipher the words .
"The ascension" ' Seems similar to the tower mom went after she left her second account ' Zaun wonders how this will be any different and checks the rest of the description to learn about the tower .
"Fallen souls never to be ressurected , battle to let us bask in your former glory" Zaun was confused and the lore gatherer tools started to make theories for later confirmation .
Zaun enters the room as a surge of light flashes once the door is opened and once that has occurred , he vanishes along with the light , leaving the door shut as it vanishes completely .
While the lore gatherer reads "We shall cast away your impurities to allow you to stay in your peak form" Zaun appeared inside a massive space with light delivering him and he looked around .
The tools took pictures of the architecture of the space and he wondered what location he was in and felt some sense of divinity ' Something is weird here ' the lore gatherer continues its investigation .
' It's beautiful ' the ground trembled and many floating figures appeared as one , which the lore gatherer discerned as high in status , moved close to Zaun " Fallen ascendant , what is the element and reason for transcendance "
The figure faded and out of curiosity , Zaun checked the lore gatherer ' That was a thought ? ' the lore gatherer explained to Zaun about the figures that appeared , showing the floating and transparent figures as fading thoughts and questions or curiosities about him .
' Well , it doesn't seem to care about me being here ' Zaun thought as he walked around the architecture with the thoughts following him as the lore gatherer used these thoughts to make an understanding of this realm .
Zaun turned to look at the "entrance" seeing only a door and wondered what happened outside while the lore gatherer was deciphering the structure of this world ' A statue room ? ' he walked in and found some statues , each with a certain status embedded in it .
' Transcendant of death and unity , Mortis . Isn't this the one mom fought ? I'm pretty sure their soul isn't supposed to be here ' While thinking about that , a message appeared in front of him "Hello Zaun" Zaun was surprised to see the message and wondered who it was as he turned to the tools , but found them disabled .
' Someone can get past Ceil's programs ? ' He was surprised to see that occur and asked " You are Welt right ? " "Yes" " Okay what is this place and according to the lore gatherer , it's supposed to be some place where you gather never to be resurrected right ? "
" Yes this is what this place is " Zaun hears the voice , surprised to hear a distinct sense of its origin ' They really are the system , it sounds just like the systems , but with more soul and emotion '
" This place is weird , you say it's for fallen souls never to be resurrected , but this statue here is clearly alive with their soul intact , too no ? " " Yes , but it's the former future's souls " Zaun was surprised to hear something like that .
" What do you mean by former future ? " " This world's time has been reversed too often . This place is a sanctuary to that and a storage of that " As Welt spoke those words , the rest of the realm revealed itself as countless hourglasses carrying sands were revealed .
Zaun looked at the statue covered in sands while encased in glass with the shape of an hourglass ' Amazing ' " Query : how was this place made " Zaun turned to see the lore gatherer freed and interacting with Welt .
Zaun thought this info might be confidential , but then Welt replied " It was made with the memory of these former futures . It used to be rundown thanks to having no one manage it , but I eventually solved that "
' So Ceil is probably in with how much she is delving into the lore ' " This place is still a boss rush right ? " Zaun asked and Welt nodded " Good that's all I care about " he summoned his sword as the statue shined , bringing him to an arena of the eternal death transcendant .
...
Yuni leaves with a smile on her face , while Mir was very exhausted from assisting the young system who , thanks to Mir's grace in helping , has recognized them as the parent " Father , where are we going "
" I prefer being the mom " Mir said "I'm a mom too , how do you think I would feel explaining that I've adopted a child who contains a part of me" " Oh I'm so sorry that you get to have a child without the pains of handling the birth of one "
Mir said as if they were a mother who just went through their first experience of giving birth to one "Try experiencing how it would feel to be broken into four pieces" Fractus cracked the text "broken" and consumed it .
"Hungry little fella , aren't you ?" Fractus broke the hunger text too , consuming it " More more " ' because I handed the little guy that crown their palate is expanding to other things now . I thought it would be a bit limited since the rusted crown is a bit similar , but I guess it's also a bit different ' Yuni could sense Mir's pride and asked .
"Why do you feel arrogant ?" " Why you may ask ? " Mir said as if they were waiting for Yuni to ask " Because I just discovered that I have a path that Welt doesn't and that is what helped me create Fractus "
"What is that path of mom ?" Yuni joked " I prefer caregiving " Yuni wondered what that meant and asked " What are the paths that Welt actually has then ? " " A lot of paths , some of them seem to come from them and their experience with the integration of system . "
"How does Welt integrate with other systems ?" " They act like a center point and collect whatever point they benefit from " "You mean Reward ?" " No , don't say that word " Mir covered the text , not letting Fractus see it .
" It's bad enough Ordo got lured by that , so I'm not letting Fractus get exposed to that , also will you let me have that crowning system ? " "After I'm done with it" " You better not have it destroyed . I plan to upgrade myself into a central system like Welt "
"How about going for the world tree system right now ? You can even adopt Balance later , but you gotta be a good family member" " I'm on it " with Yuni's permission , Mir dove into the world tree with Fractus .
' I'd better get to that location , I'm quite glad it's near here , so I'd better call House to come over now that I have new plans thanks to Mir's compass ' Yuni walked through the demon realm as House eventually caught up with her and she entered to rest .
Yuni appeared in the hall of transcendance and went for the delirium quest ' I wonder when the dead soul chrysallis will appear or would that be considered cleared because I already did it ' she walked through the ruins of civilization with the new life she created , taking over as the borders expanded and found the mission objective .
' Oh that's right for the chrysallis to be opened , I need to solve the password to their underworld vault ' Yuni sighed and went to work as soon as she was done , something happened .
The dead soul chrysallis widened as more souls from other systems appeared and gave her a difficulty selector ' This is the spike in difficulty they're offering '
Yuni checked her options on the underworld that the souls will originate from and smirked ' It's pretty easy and pretty beneficial . I'm guessing that the only reason they made it this way was because it takes time '
Yuni was starting to see how Patience might become a challenge and found that patience also had some boosters that increased the difficulty ' Fine do whatever you want , more time to myself means I can relax more , plus I have lived long enough to not care about how much time I use as long as it's something productive '
And so Yuni trained with the souls , teaching her their skills , which fed Fractus , who was consuming the rust that Yuni shook off from her skill while revisiting her old skills .
Mir looked at the massive pile of rust that Fractus stored " What is with you ? " Mir asked and Yuni was confused by what they meant " Don't give me that look . How do you make so many points like this ? I know you're an admin for several system , but what is with this efficient output from all sides ? "
"Don't know , I was barely even aware of the system products that you feed on , always thought of it as a product the system makes , which has specific uses within it" " Even so , this is a lot for Fractus "
"Tell them to save up because I am really talented in retaining skills now that I am revisiting them" " I will , but what are you planning to do with the crowning " "Secret" Mir was irritated and tried to peer into Yuni's thoughts , but failed after Yuni tackled their attempt .
She gives House a command to head to the edge of the world using Mir's compass " What about picking up the other systems ? " "I made someone else do it" Mir noticed that Yuni had dissected their compass and handed it to someone else .
" One of your familiars ? " "More like a sponsor , took inspiration from the sponsorship system" " I hate those things " "I know right , you can't get strong enough , so you beg someone else to do it , but this one is different since I used the crowning , which draws power from the crowned"
" I heard that those crowns caused an error " with their immense despise for Welt , suddenly thought of the possibility " Are you planning to cause a big error to break off a part of Welt ? " Mir whispered .
"Yes" Mir was suddenly motivated " Then you better let me help you come on " Mir said , very excited about helping Yuni and Yuni wondered how Mir would do something like that "You can start by looking into the crowns"
Yuni allowed Mir to look into the crowns " Trust me , you will see results " Mir giggled , while Yuni wondered how much they actually hate Welt to be so motivated , while also wondering where her other two children are in .
' I have Mir to watch out for Rein and Naul is already with me ... wait , how does he think about suddenly having a new parent ' Yuni visited Naul and finds them in the admin room "Did you already get acquainted with Mir and Fractus ?"
" Are you gonna adopt other systems too ? " Confused because this was the first time someone else has gotten into the family as a new member and now they have another parent and a new younger sibling .
"Mir would I'm just around to help them" Yuni sensed Naul's spike in activity " So what do they like " ' I guess he's looking forward to it , I never really gave them any other siblings after that '
Yuni wondered how well her other children are doing and thought about Ceil and her program that punched a hole in Mir's world ' I should probably apologize for that , but Ceil did such a clean job that if I hadn't done a thorough scan , I wouldn't have found it either . '
Yuni checked the storybook which actually recorded her trip to the broken legacy but it felt like some details were skipped over ' Fame probably isn't something I should care about now thanks to having a system by my side but I do worry about my other kids , those two look too high up a mountain and probably will get mixed up with the wrong kind of people '
She already assumed that her children have likely gotten into the problem that Welt is dealing with and worries that they might not be strong enough and hear a yell .
" YUNI , PLEASE PUT ON ALL THE CROWNS RIGHT NOW " Mir yelled out and Yuni assumed that they likely wanted her to generate more steps for them since the crowns' burden seemed like a path .
"Did you learn how to make a path based on the crowns ?" " I do have a blueprint , but I don't think that will be feasible any moment from now . I don't have the materials to make it , but if you wear it "
"I'll do it" " YES " The sound of Mir's voice was loud and Yuni took all the crowns and thought of the lack of crown slots ' Oh , but I do have monopoly , so I'll just wear that ' Upon putting on the crown of Monopoly , hands stretched out to grab the rest of the available crowns , holding them .
" It looks like you're a tree that makes crowns for its fruits " Mir commented "Not like I have a choice" " Do you think you can let me give Limos some paths to walk on ? " "I have a question about how they received challenges ? Don't you need permission ?"
" They did give permission " ' Huh so some challenges can be obtained and cannot be forced onto others , except for some probably ' " Also , which do you think I should get ? " Mir said and Yuni was surprised about Mir asking that while showing her a list of systems .
"Where did that list come from , a system adoption center ?" " Then I'm the director for that " "How about that thing about gluttony ?" " So basic " Mir said as they showed Yuni a name " I was thinking of getting this one instead .
"Isn't this basic too ?" " It's not , they match how I work " "Then why ask my opinion ?" " I mean , it's no problem if I ask you , I just want to see what you want " Mir said "Then all I'll be doing is training and doing some reading"
Mir leaves to search for the system they were aiming for while Yuni thought about the system ' A system that is around the terrain does suit them , I think I remembered building an obstacle course for the kids they had a lot of fun and was one of the moment when they said "I love you mom" which is becoming a rare commodity these days '
Yuni wondered if Mir would force her to do that obstacle course that the system will likely make to generate more points for the respective systems with her .
' It would be pretty interesting to go in not only blind but also completely senseless , they must really think I'm that good to force so many challenges into me '
She compliments Mir being able to manage their greed in getting steps out of Yuni by not making her take too many challenges that make it too difficult for her in the first place ' But rather than suppressing their greed , they probably plan to optimize it because it would be detrimental if they added too much . Just like Naul '
...
House traveled through the demon realm and finally arrived at the edge of the realm after six weeks of travel " So many cracks " Fractus said , salivating towards the cracks at the edge " Behave Fractus , you can't go down " Naul said , holding back Fractus's physical base .
' It's nice of him actually , to interact with the younger sibling . I wonder how well the rest are doing and more importantly , what is Ceil doing ' ' I'm jealous , that's what I'm doing mom ' Ceil thought as she operated the system with her new admin access after proving to the angels that she had superior .
" Apologies , it seems the council has yet to agree on releasing our anchors " Themiel said , while Ceil recounts the history to figure out a solution .
' The duty of the betterment of others is what preserves this world's system , it pretty amazing that the realm of angels actually has something , a massive network of systems that benefits from their nature but I guess the demon realm has something similar '
Ceil thinks of a way to get them to separate themselves from the other worlds so that they can count her freeing them from duty as a contribution , so that she can surf through their libraries and record as much and send all that data home .
" How about you say that you should focus on things that help yourself ? " " That won't be possible , the country wouldn't think like that , because we rely on the world's first life for our population moreover , if we don't stay , we might lose such souls to the demon realm . "
Ceil was baffled but had to hide it ' I wish I had asked why they haven't left . My greed is really clouding my own judgement ' Ceil thinks of her mother , who is already planning a crazy move to break apart of Welt's system , which has now expanded to breaking out the entirety of the demon realm .
' Mom is usually crazy anyway , so I probably should've thought she'd do something like this when she gets the chance , but this is also kinda disappointing . Maybe I can use this information about mom , the angels do have a truthteller , but for a truth that's this good , they might test its credibility and I can't exactly show my lore gatherer program , but I could say mom and I are family without saying she's my mom , which would be more suspicious '
Knowing that the exposure of information would result in that Ordo going after them , Ceil decided that she only has to earn enough trust so that they could finally depart from this world .
" I guess they won't budge with the current problems , so I'll just focus on the development of the legacy , so until then , just tell them to prepare for our departure "
She checked Zaun , really curious about the location and how Welt acquired such a power ' Wish I was there in person , but it looks like this system seems to be based around the belief of a spiritual world '
She reads about the lore as she explains it to herself ' So using the belief of souls who seek an afterlife , they created this ... when this is over , I should look at how that is made ' She also thinks about the systems that Yuni has with her , such as Mir , Fractus , Balance , Crowning and Course .
' The systems are different in these large worlds , I think I'm learning more about the systems and how they are formed , thanks to this wider and interconnected web of worlds . At first , I thought all systems would be called world in a different language , but seeing all those systems gathered by Mir does say some things . '
Ceil could say the same thing to the systems in heaven , as many find benefit from things angels do regularly , such as duty , respect , improvement and etc ' Compared to the ones in the demon realm , which are very loose , like the systems that step-parent has now '
Ceil wondered if she should get rid of the lore gatherer lest she wants to traumatize herself by reading text that contained the exceedingly detailed context of her mother's love life that a child would normally puke at when hearing it without a filter that made it sound like a fairytale that she enjoyed reading when she was much , much younger .
' I keep forgetting I'm actually four years old , not a lot of children of the same caliber as me and the rest ' while thinking about that she operated as usual , keeping up while watching Yuni's plans , else she decided to break out the branch without her warning .
' Wait , what am I saying to myself ? The country has its eyes on the demon realm , so I'm sure they would spread the news that the demon realm would leave ' Ceil focused on her usual task , deciding that she'll just have to wait for her mother to make the first move .
While through her book on Zaun , a picture revealed his triumph victory against another transcendant as the hourglass of the transcendant shattered with the sand consumed by him " Another victory "
An icon of Welt's origin world appeared " You could have gotten stronger much quicker if you had allowed it " Welt said and Zaun thinks about Yuni's first account or first body " No I don't think I want that , as I would be , because it wouldn't be my strength "
Zaun looked at the shattered hourglass with all of the sand exhausted as he had essentially absorbed the transcendant's strength through combat " But this system is amazing " " You are the one who is amazing to be able to absorb all this power "
Zaun looked around the broken Hourglasses that showed how much fight he went through " No mom would've done better " Welt was surprised to hear that and was curious about it " I've sensed your mother's admin access , but it doesn't look like they were much "
" Do you know how she was born ? " " Not entirely , origins of such are very closely guarded even if I can sense the thoughts some thoughts are strangely silenced subconsciously I have not peered that deep into mind of hers just out of respect but also with my lack of ability " Zaun thinks back of the recording he found when he was just born from a quarter of Yuni showing Welt Yuni's journey .
Welt was marveled with the story of the majority of Yuni's achievements from that far and said " So your birthworld originates from the very edge of the origin system " Zaun was surprised to hear and suddenly sense Ceil's programs freezing .
" Apologies , but I cannot let information like this escape " Welt said and turned to Zaun " It seems I was wrong about her . But how did she lose that power ? " Zaun revealed how he was born " I see , lost the body yet she preserved the experience of hardships . Maybe I won't be suitable to make her stronger "
" To be fair , you do reward for the efforts , but mom isn't like Naul or Rein . She wants to fight and discover on the way like me and Ceil would . " Zaun commented while Welt thought of how Yuni enjoyed walking through the quest and discovering the workings of the world .
" That does sound like her " ' But if I changed the nature of my reward , Ordo would take notice and I'd have to hit the reset button ' reluctant but weighing their choices , Welt settled for keeping a capable fighter like Zaun by their side to help them empty out the admin seat .
