"We're moving forward, times are different, and there's very little like that now."

"Very little? The times are progressing, the perception between people is getting stronger and stronger, people are getting closer, it seems that who will be an expert in a certain field, but this is not a good thing, which means that we are thinking more and more narrowly, do you know the propaganda words of the Internet in the past? The world within reach! Can you learn about the world through the Internet, is it the real world? How do you know if those are true or false? Have you ever judged for yourself?"

"What we saw... Subjectively, they will agree that this is real."

"One person's ignorance can lead everyone around you, and it is very difficult for you to improve your intelligence, but if you want to lower your intelligence along with others, it is a very simple thing, so Khetia, you reconsider, do you think the future that Bern is talking about really exists? Don't be deceived, think for yourself all the possibilities."

I want to think about such a question alone.

Then they must understand that our reality is not perfect.

An ordinary person, I'm afraid, will never think like this for the rest of his life.

Because not everyone needs to think about this problem, even if they do, many people will not say it, and even if they say it, few people will agree, this kind of thinking that goes against the mainstream, whether it is self-judgment or the result of careful analysis, sometimes the results of your hard work will not be respected by others.

I'm not talking about recognition, I'm talking about respect, and many people don't even know what the minimum respect is, and when those people open their mouths, the pretentious hat has been buttoned to you.

As for the reason? I think it's just that some people don't want to accept their ignorance, isn't that what people are like now?

Obviously, the vision is broadened, but the knowledge is shorter.

What I want to bring to Khetia is reflection.

Without any inducement, let her think for herself whether the world will really be as Bern promised.

"Now Bern wants chaos and war, do you really think that such an approach will bring peace and cooperation? Do you really think that after such an incident, we will put aside our prejudices and fight against the monsters with them?"

「...」

Still no response?

But unlike before, she was trying to think.

It takes time to put the pieces together, and in order to help her put the pieces together better, it is necessary to let her understand my view of the world.

"Actually, now I have given up on my dreams, I don't want to admit that I am incompetent, but I must admit that my ability is insufficient, I used to be an artist, I started at the age of twelve, and I have persevered for 14 years, now I think about it, at that time, I was a little too tenacious, I should have followed the advice of friends and family earlier, and gave up earlier."

"May, why did you give up after you held out for so long?"

"The entertainment industry is a cruel place, people who are incapable can only serve tea and pour water for the rest of their lives, and capable people, even if they leave the stage for many years, can still show their own brilliance, the person I met left the stage because of an accident, and many years later, when she came back, she was still able to show her unique brilliance on the stage."

Recalling that reunion.

I looked at her unlost brilliance.

I finally realized that I was nothing more than a prisoner bound by my dreams.

"I was expected too much, I carried too much myself, this dream that was too heavy became my cage, and this cage trapped me in this fantasy called dream, and I drowned with my ideals, at that time I thought it was a kind of affirmation of my friends."

Dreams and fantasies are only one step away.

And I, because of those stupid lies, got lost in fantasy.

"If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I'd have drowned."

"May, you've given up on your dreams... Without dreams, May, how are you... May has always worked hard for her dreams, so she just gave up... Can you accept it?"

"I used to think that dreams were mine and everything, but after I really gave up, I realized that I had a lot more than dreams, and when I changed my perspective, I found that there are still many things in the world that I am worth doing, but before I gave up, I didn't see these."

"Can we see the real future only when we really let go?"

The reason Khetia was able to say this was not because she understood.

It was really because she didn't understand that she could say such things that even she didn't understand.

I shook my head and nodded again.

Denial, yet agree.

"I was also confused, I gave up my career as an artist, and I didn't know what I should do, so I traveled, read books, and played games at the advice of my friends, but these were not what I hoped for, because what I lacked was a goal, until I came into contact with MVR."

When I think about it, MVR was really an opportunity for me to change.

Come back to the era when the Internet was seen as a flood beast, and the changes it brought to me.

"I don't want to call MVR a game, I want to say it's a world, I'm a player who logged in from a dark period, you know, during that period, ordinary players would die dozens of times, and powerful players would only die so many times, and at that time, I suddenly had a goal, which was to live."

This is what I decided on myself after I gave up my career as an artist, the initial goal.

To live, this is probably the most primitive instinct of human beings.

"Live, try to live, this is what I pursued at that time, try to survive, protect my life, but the dark period full of crises is not a world where people can live at all, and it was at that time that I met Kemp, and I formed an organization with them, and after entering that organization, I was entrusted with all kinds of strange tasks."

Now that I think about it, after I met Kemp at that time, he liked to throw all kinds of jobs to me.

Not good at tedious matters, but full of leadership.

The characteristics of this man have continued to this day.

"I was forced into a lot of strange work, and I slowly realized that some things can be solved by just thinking about it, and the best example is that when our organization grew and gradually became a force, at that time, Baratheon, who had become the largest force, sent a message to Zhaoan, what do you think normal people will do?"

"Zhao'an... That means giving up power, and I don't think many people are willing to give it up."
