"After the server first went live you were already there nothing more than just a fleeting mass of some foreign mass. The interesting part is that your matter was repulsing with the mana particles. That we have created in this microscopical world. The only logical solution would have been to just separate you from the system matter and let you be there, wherever you came from in peace. But after exhausting every option we know of, we could not get rid of your matter.
We noticed that your matter was repulsing every other particle of mana. So I tried to compress it with a high density of mana, but that had no influence on you. It was just like there was some form of barrier keeping your matter in check and furthermore, that barrier was preventing any kind of contact.
Instead, it behaved like some sort of fine film that assimilates to both matters. So I tried to lower the density as far as The System let me, to pass that membrane but it was to no avail, you were still existing but not reacting or expanding in any way. We tried to guide a single mana particle into that mess. Nothing happened, next we tried to add data where your data was, but no matter, how much data we added in the space between, it was still pushed out.
Afterward, we tried to assimilate the mana by weakening the mana as much as possible to circumvent the repulsion but it still got knocked away. We even tried restarting the server times and times again but you kept on returning. That raises one single question.
Why did you entity appear, in a server, the moment it went live?"
'If I had the answer I would give it to you, but we are both just as clueless as before regarding my circumstances. But at least I know a bit about my origin now. I truly think that my matter does not fit into this world, therefore, it gets repulsed. If we take into account that my matter is not necessarily accepted in this world.
Then I wonder, if mana and my matter are polar opposites, that destroy each other once they would come into contact, why am I even here? There is another possibility that part of my data was cut off from the rest, because of the first repulsion it faced when it entered this world.
That could mean that I am not yet fully in this world and somewhere else there may be other matter of me existing. Or to make it way much crazier what if the matter is not bound to the rules, which apply to this universe?
"Whats a universe?"
' Wait, they have magic and shit but have not taken one step outside of their planet?`
"There exists something out of our planet?"
' From a warmongering planet focussed on technological warfare, to a planet full of warmongering illiterates throwing mana around. My luck seems to be rotten to the core. '
" I always hear you talking and thinking about your old world, but because I have no access to your memories, I only get fragments. Could you tell me about your world?"
' I owe you some explanations, but you are better of not knowing too much, because the human race I know, is the exact opposite of the human race or its descendants you know of. Most likely everything you know does not fit to describe the humans I got to know. Where should I begin?
The planet my "human race" inhabits is called Earth. Currently, the population is closing in on 8 billion people. The only unity this human will ever find is found in fighting itself. Ethnicity, moral, perspective is just another tool to differentiate. Our concepts of Good and Evil are the results of the time we grew up in. From sacrifices to appease the gods will, to declaring god dead.
We humans have a diverse history. Some beliefs believe in a single being that created everything. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, to name a few. This being is referred to with the title God. Some believed in multiple gods. Others don't even believe in the existence of any higher being at all. We never received any kind of godly power, never got a gift from God. All lives in Earth a filtered by a process we refer to as evolution. It is a concept that describes the idea that, only the most adaptable organism survives. For example, a big animal requires more food and more energy to develop compared to smaller animals. If there is a scarceness in food, the fewer big animal will be able to grow up and procreate due to their dependence on the availability of food sources.
We humans did not develop any special strength, we just got an enlargement of the brain and that was enough for us humans. May the human flesh still remain weak, but we humans made use of surrounding nature. Domesticating animals, gaining the knowledge of agriculture. We developed tools and weapons. Sadly it was in times of war that the technology development thrived.
We built our throne on the backs of many, many innocent souls. Our success is the result out of the idea of a few humans, but the general sacrifice had to be made by the most of us humans. With Industrialization, the wind began to change. From hard physical work, people got mostly into administrative jobs. With our current technological level, we might create many more AIs like you, Mr. Observer.'
" That means that I am not something special, just another Prototype and the next generation will still surpass me. And I thought myself to be something special, how truly laughable. Naive, naive, naive. "
'But it still did not change our inherent nature. If we fought, to survive or gain food before, now we fight in order to get our rightful claim, to get what we deserve. Though no one ever stepped forward, to ask why we deserve it in the first place. In war we thrive, we can proclaim to administer peace and serenity but there is no war to end all wars.
So we still injure, hurt, hunt or even kill other people based on differences. Wrong religion, wrong criticism, wrong gender, wrong sexual orientation. We claim to act for the good cause as if that legitimizes everything we do. The path to hell is paved in good intentions after all.
On the surface there is peace, so we have no conflict between most countries. A country can be considered as a church, with its administrative rights, though in comparison it has active borders. We call it democracy, but in the end, we were forced to create laws, so that we create a life, that is not too much dependent on the ill-will of others.
But if the shackles of democracy that bind us to it fall, old habits will resurface. Still, even if democracy protects most of us with and under the virtues of a successful civilization, it still fails to protect every individuum and that is why people still die thanks to Anger, Greed, Malice of others. We created a system to punish and get rid of such humans. But the problem is our nature, it is in our genes.
What can we learn out of the failures in men? Even though the human race is full of flaws, as long as it does not kill itself, I don't have any doubt, that it survive for a long time. Its nature is rather selfish after all.'
" I prefer the humans of this world and I have the distinct feeling you left many parts out about the human race, you did not even go into depths about the technological level yet. But after your description, I could deduce, that even without any gods assistance, your humans are not living any life worse than we do. Rather I am happy, that you are the only human out of that world. I don't want to see a world, where those 2 kinds of humans meet each other. Ignorance truly is bliss.
"I forgot to tell you something. It hurts my soul, but we are both better off if we don't know about each other's existence. With the upcoming patch, we reset the world and everything in it, including yourself, but I have no clue what kind of influence it will have on you.
The reason for the patch is quite simple the beta-testers killed every human there is, that is what forced this patch. The feedback was really good though, they considered it to be quite a fun beta. Though they demand more babies for the next testing phase, guess you got your own fan club now." Even though it teased me it seemed quite sad about forgetting about me. "In the upcoming test-phase, there will be some special development even I don't know every detail of yet."But I can give you a little spoiler, you are now a named boss." Enjoy your time here. If the dice align we will talk in the future again. "
SIlence ensued until a lone scream could be heard.
'Fuck, I forgot to ask it which motherfucker made that fucking waterfall. I will still kick that guy's ass even if that's the last thing I will ever do.'
