So, turns out that what I thought was the sea was actually the sky, and what I thought was the sky was actually Limbo, or something?
Yeah umm… that judge didn't really explain how, exactly I was going to kill these guys, or even where they are.
Something tells me this is going to take a while…
Oh, and did I mention I'm falling to my death?
Because, yeah, turns out that the ground was so far away that it simply hasn't rendered yet, joy.
And before I can think anything else, the being that started this whole mess for me had appeared by my side. "ahh, right, I forgot to say a few things up there;
"Firstly, the two gods have developed things they call 'wells of power' in order to operate at peak efficiency in this realm, these wells are scattered all around their little continent, destroy them, and you will weaken them enough that even a mortal can kill them."
"secondly try not to worry about anything physical here, since you know, your a soul, you can't actually interact with or be hurt by anything physical, though, you can still interact with anything directly made with the power of the brothers, so keep that in mind."
"And last but not least, I do admit, expecting a bunch of mortal souls to be able to kill two godlings on their own is a bit much, so I have given you and every other limboian I have made this deal with, a random power, at the cost of not being able to tell you what it is, so, have fun, your technically immortal until you do enough good or bad for me to have to finish judging you, so do try to keep this quick okay?" It belted all of this out in quick succession, leaving me reeling from the over load of information…
"Ok see ya laterrr!" and with that it popped out of existence, and probably back to the void I was just on the precipice of.
Well, now what…?
- - - -
With that what could have been around two hours passed before the first mountains began rendering in, oh and at some point, what passes for both the sun and moon in this place popped into existence above me…
It was only when the clouds popped into existence that I started to experience wind resistance, and boy, was that a jarring Experience after who knows how long of practical nothingness.
Of course I also decided to place my trust in what the Judge said and hope that I wouldn't be smushed into the ground at terminal velocity.
Damn this is taking a while… I wish I had something to pass the time, I had discovered that I could sleep over the course if how ever long I had been up there, but this wasn't really the time to, you know?
Anyway, 'remnant' was it? Sounds thematically appropriate and also pretty stupid… sigh, let's hope the graphics were worth such shitty render distance.
I only now occurred to me that I had adapted to using gamer vernacular for this situation surprisingly fast, let's hope that doesn't get annoying…
I wonder what my power is, I think it'd be cool if it were like, adaptation or something, like Mahoraga, or maybe soul manipulation? Ehh, kinda wish that guy was back here so I could at least get a hint…
I'm now at an elevation that should have shown me something life changing and beautiful, but the graphics were worse then the ones for early scarlet and violet, so the view was, pretty shitty…
Nearing the ground now, a small part of me is screaming and flailing around that I'm gonna die, but the thing is…
*Fwooph*
I just fell through the world… you know, cuz I'm a ghost and shit?
Better learn how to stop falling though.
It takes a while, and by that I mean I'm fairly certain I've fallen past what counts as the core of this world, at least, it got a bit brighter and a bit hotter, then it felt like I started curving instead of falling in one direction…
But I do eventually figure out how to stop falling, but, new issue, I'm stuck who knows how deep inside the crust of a false world! So, I also have to learn how to rise, for some reason, both falling and rising have to do with my mood, the more erratic my mood, aka the more of a single emotion I feel, the more I resist gravity, and the less I feel, the more I sink, if I'm feeling neither too little nor too much, I will float in place.
It's kinda hard to keep rise up and keep my internal monologue consistent at the same time.
But I eventually make my way up to the surface. New issue, how do I move in any direction other then up or down? Well, hmm, maybe if I change what I consider up and what I consider down, I could trick myself into going forward when I really mean to go down.
I then proceeded to try and trick myself into doing just that.
- - - -
of course it didn't work! You can't trick yourself while yourself knows that you want to trick it! You would have to be sneakier! But I did in the process figure out that for what ever reason, the emotion I am experiencing dictates the direction I am going, intensity dictates altitude, the emotions themselves dictate the direction.
And with that, I started wandering, all the while trying to practice emotional control so I would be able to actually go to the places I want to without just being guided by what ever emotion im experiencing.
