Chapter 335: Welcome to "Ouranos" (7000 Words)
Brave?
Let's not talk about the second sentence.
In front of Yi Rin's eyes, in this vast and pure white space, the ball of light in front of Yi Rin's eyes appeared very strangely.
He's already in the trials?
However, it is not quite like that.
Before Irin even had time to notice when the loading process into the trial had ended, the ball of light suddenly appeared in front of Rin's eyes.
As he stretched out his hand, there was such a strange sentence all around.
But Irin's sense was that the words weren't actually coming from the ball of light.
It's that vast voice, like an empowerment sound, that ripples through this space.
Wait a minute......
Hand?
Irin noticed one more thing.
He obviously moved the idea of "reaching out".
I also succeeded in making contact with the ball of light.
That's why voices rang out all around.
However, when Irin's eyes were observed, he was surprised to find that his "hand" did not actually exist.
It's not just hands.
His body, his limbs, didn't exist in this space at all.
So what did he use to touch this ball of light?
"Consciousness? Soul? ”
The thought crossed Irin's mind.
In fact, in front of the ball of light, he doesn't even have the organ of "brain" now.
"I think, therefore I am?"
"Actually, I exist here in the form of 'thinking'?"
Irin savored this subtle feeling.
This feeling of being purely spiritual, detached from the physical body, is mysterious and mysterious, and Irin is unconsciously intoxicated by it.
"Welcome to the resting place, brave from another world."
The voice rang out again.
A resting place?
Another world?
Irin came back to his senses from this strange state of "spiritual immortality".
He quickly extracted the intelligence and information from that voice.
Irin currently has no body, in other words, no movement.
Whether it's reaching out, kicking his legs, raising his head, shaking his shoulders...... In fact, all actions come from "imagination" and "thinking".
But it is "imagination" and "thinking" that allow Irin to have some form of interaction with the ball of light.
"This start, it's kind of interesting."
Irin laughed, but he didn't respond, just waiting to see what happened.
The voice, which was as vast as heaven and earth, sounded again when Irin didn't react.
"A brave man from another world, now you may be hesitant, anxious, and doubtful, but you came here because of the guidance of fate, so you don't need to worry."
Loss?
Anxiety?
Doubt?
Inexistent.
Irin was silent for a moment.
Q: "Am I dead?" ”
"Yes. You finally get the idea. ”
Understand an egg.
Irin "pouted".
Of course, all his expressions and movements now don't exist.
It's all his own brain.
I think, therefore I am.
There was no way he could die.
Irin's thinking about how he entered this time, what kind of trial world he entered.
But since this ball calls this a resting place...... It should have something to do with the background of this trial.
Not very lucky.
"Who are you?"
Irin asked again.
This is the normal process of obtaining intelligence.
Anyway, it seems that there is no danger for the time being.
The main quest was also not released.
The ball of light made a vast voice that echoed throughout the space, saying, "I, I don't have a name. You can call me a guide, or you can call me an elf, or ...... God. ”
Guides?
Elf?
God?
Three titles, very different styles.
But the last title made Irin's eyes more thoughtful.
While in the Caribbean, the collective of that curse, Calypso, also called himself a "god".
In Irin's opinion, how could the gods be so cheap, and the streets were all over the place.
It's swollen.
Irin shook her head and smiled.
Although he has no head now.
But he laughed out loud.
"Why are you laughing?"
The ball of light and Irin seem to be in a state of mental connection, and when Irin's brain makes up a "smile", the ball of light senses Rin's mind and asks.
"Hehe, it's nothing, you continue, what's the other process?"
When the light ball heard this, he didn't ask much.
Suddenly.
From the ball of light, a soft glow floated out, changing shape in front of Irin's consciousness and turning into a piece of paper.
Saying that it is paper is more like a screen-like existence.
Seeing that the "plot" in front of him had changed again, Irin's quick to browse through the paper.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it.
At first glance, Yi Rin was slightly stunned, and he felt that his existence seemed to be a little shocked.
"Survey?"
That's right.
On the piece of paper in front of Irin was a questionnaire.
Irin felt that the art style here was getting more and more weird.
"Is this the process?"
A question mark flashed through Irin's mind.
But he still took a quick look at the contents of the questionnaire.
First of all......
[Name, Gender, Age, ......]
Ahh
Irin suddenly felt like she was filling out a form when she applied for a job at a company in the real world.
Although he didn't fill it in.
Irin filled it in truthfully.
This should be nothing to think about.
[Hobbies, Hobbies, Hobbies, Zodiac Signs, Date of Birth......]
“……”
[Body type, appearance, personality ......]
Wait a minute.
Irin suddenly wondered, was he really in trial?
How it feels weird.
But after thinking about it, Irin's current condition has lost his body, and he can't even use any ability, so he can only obediently fill out this "unpretentious" questionnaire.
He had already tried it just now, and all the functions of the "tower", he could not use.
This state makes Irin very insecure.
But there is nothing to be done.
But what's the point of such a seemingly mundane questionnaire?
Even if it is a real census, it will not be so outrageously detailed!
While filling out a questionnaire in Irin.
The voice of the ball of light fell completely silent.
There was no other movement.
Irin even wanted to "slap him", "kick", "touch twice", and other "interactions" could not be completed.
There was no way, and Irin's only way to fill it in truthfully.
[Well-proportioned, outstanding, and kind personality.] 】
Well, Irin's honest thinking is good.
The questionnaire continues.
[If you have a choice, would you rather come and go like the wind, or use the body of steel as a companion to resist damage, or use the power of the gods to bless and shelter your companion......]
[In the face of a monster, if you attack, you will choose front, side, back, crotch, chrysanthemum, ......]
[How will you deal with a very powerful monster that has the potential to kill you?] …… A. Frontal hard punch. B. First hand knife and then head hard. C. Sneak attack, drugged, assassination, and shaking the will of monsters with simple language ......]
The problem is getting more and more outlandish.
But Yi Rin's heart became more and more solemn.
I don't dare to choose randomly.
Because he has been faintly aware of the hidden tricks behind this questionnaire.
Although the questionnaire was in the form of "paper", floating in front of Irin.
But the above investigation question will only appear when Irin finishes one question.
Like some multiple-choice skills, such as reading the following questions and then choosing back...... In front of this kind of questionnaire, it is completely impossible to play.
Irin worked on the question seriously.
He suddenly remembered that if the little fat man and Wang Tiandi also had the same start, he hoped that they could detect the cattiness as soon as possible in this process, otherwise......
Irin didn't dare to think about the consequences.
I hope you're okay.
Finally.
The multiple-choice questions are over.
Irin was drowsy from the bombardment of a large sea of questions.
He couldn't imagine how a piece of paper that didn't look big could hold such a large question bank.
"Sure enough, the communication at the spiritual level cannot be measured by common sense."
Irin sighed.
The ball of light still doesn't react.
On the "Questionnaire", the screen changed from a multiple-choice question to a fill-in-the-blank question.
[Please choose your five favorite skills.] 】
"Sure enough......"
The moment this question appeared, it was equivalent to confirming Irin's guess about this trial from the side.
"Five skills, the limit is not too big."
"The enhancement of comprehension should not be counted in these five skill categories."
"The questionnaire looks like it's just a survey, but it's actually quite likely, a 'persona-making' process."
"Yours is yours."
Irin's reluctance to be careless.
In addition to "strengthening", Irin's full game is currently only six skills.
At this stage, the other apostles should be able to draw a lot of useful and useless small skills, or some passive skills and the like, and at this point, they should be in a difficult situation to choose.
And Irin didn't have that kind of trouble.
Choose five out of six, and Irin only needs to eliminate one skill, and that's it.
"But it's so hard!"
[Shadow Kill] and [Shadow Follow], as perfect matching skills, Irin must definitely fill in.
[Summoning Mount Dire], which can summon Dire in Trials, is equivalent to increasing combat power for no reason, and it is naturally impossible for Irin not to fill it.
[Calamity] as a control skill that kills indiscriminately without dead ends, it can definitely come in handy at critical moments, and this skill has accompanied Irin so far, allowing Irin to kill a lot of monsters in the pit, and it is very easy to use, and it is naturally impossible to abandon it.
The rest ......
[Grip of Annihilation], [Bloodthirsty Calamity].
After using the elimination method, it seems that Irin has no choice.
Thereupon.
He quickly filled in [Shadow Kill], [Shadow], [Summon Mount Dire], [Calamity], and [Grip of Annihilation].
Not to mention that the side effects of [Bloodthirsty Calamity] are too great, and basically in a trial, only the last few minutes dare to use it. If you use this skill in the middle of the trial, if you can't destroy the world and kill everything, the effect of the skill will pass, and under the terrible side effects, Irin will also be slaughtered by others, and the cost performance is not high.
Abandon and discard.
What are your five favorite belongings? 】
"Five ......"
After careful consideration, Irin's choice was also made.
Finally.
That's it.
After Irin completed the entire questionnaire, it was as if he had exhausted his life's strength, and he collapsed and became depressed.
It's too hard to do the questions.
Of course, this is just an illusion.
In the current state of Irin, there should be no such exhaustion.
[The character creation is complete.] 】
Suddenly.
From the vast space.
One after another, in front of "Irin's consciousness body", converged into a handsome man with blond hair.
The man is naked, the well-proportioned body shape perfectly conforms to the golden ratio of the human body, and the perfect skin even flashes with streamers, and the brilliance is dizzying and dazzling.
"Not bad."
Irin was very satisfied.
[Welcome to 'Ouranos'.] 】
[Resist bad games, reject fake games.] 】
[Pay attention to self-protection and beware of being deceived.] 】
[Moderate games are good for the brain, and addiction to games hurts the body. 】
[Arrange your time reasonably and enjoy a healthy life.] 】
[Happy playing.] 】
【Zizizi——】
Suddenly.
In this vast space.
There was a sizzling noise.
When Irin's "spirit" was about to take on the role of the perfect "character", there was a cacophony of noise in the surrounding space.
Followed by.
Irin preretina.
A hint emerges.
Hints from the tower.
[Welcome to 'Ouranos'.] 】
[In this world, there are gods, the sky, the sea of clouds, the old world, and the giant beasts. 】
[In this world, there are adventurers, air thieves, salvagemen, chambers of commerce, and churches. 】
You will experience an adventure of a lifetime. 】
[Three Apostles have been detected using the 'Temporary Team Contract', and in the next trial, the difficulty of the trial will be increased in some way, so please be careful.] 】
[In order to increase the immersive experience, the relevant memories and functions will be temporarily sealed, please be mentally prepared in time for Apostle 1010.] 】
[Happy trial.] 】
[I wish you to return alive.] 】
[I wish you good luck and prosperity. 】
Ahh
Wait a minute.
Mentally prepare your sister!
Wait a minute.
Dangerous!
The ball of light, which originally seemed harmless to humans and animals, instantly turned into a pure white sea of light, drowning Irin with it.
Before being overwhelmed by the light, Yi Rin accidentally discovered that the perfect character that was "pinched" was actually broken.
In his place, it was Irin, his own face.
“……”
……
"Irin! What a daze! Come and help! ”
"Come on!"
A young man with a unique appearance, dressed like a small servant, sweating all over, in the tavern, flexibly shuttling through the crowd.
"Hey, Meg, your new squire is very nimble! Come, brother! ”
[Get 5G!] 】
Irin heard a dinging sound in her ear.
An uneven coin fell into its pocket and vanished.
Yi Rin replied with a smile: "This guest, you are really generous!" ”
"Hey, hey, that's a must!"
Irin casually handed over the bubbling "Martin Luco" and turned to leave.
When leaving.
Yi Rin muttered in a low voice that no one could hear: "It's only 5G, and this little mosquito leg is embarrassed to pretend to be an uncle." ”
"Table Three, Mecaru Pie!"
"Table four, roasted lamb shank!"
"Table No. 6, stir-fry the Flame Flying Snake Roll!"
“……”
Irin received a lot of tips again.
Of course.
It's all mosquito legs.
[Get +1G!] 】
[Get +3G!] 】
[Get +2G!] 】
【Obtain ......】
All day down.
Irin's fortune has skyrocketed from 126G to 188G, which is gratifying.
It seems that in the weapon shop, the cheapest and most basic "beginner dagger" is also a full 1000G price, which is very expensive.
"The currency system of this game is not scientific!"
Irin hid in the kitchen and was lazy, thinking about the three days of playing, and felt very helpless.
Take advantage of no one.
Irin froze, his fingers swiping down from top to bottom in front of him.
A "panel" that only he could see appeared in front of Irin's eyes.
……

……
He had been pondering this panel for three whole days.
It has been three days since he came to this world called "Ouranos".
In the past three days, in addition to working in the tavern of this "Rab Town", Irin's been thinking about three very serious philosophical questions.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What am I going to do?"
Every time these three questions flashed through Irin's mind, he always felt that his doubts seemed to be pretending to be deep.
But in fact, he really wanted to know the answer.
He doesn't remember who he is.
He couldn't remember why he was here.
He didn't know why he was in this world.
When he woke up, he was lying on the crowded street like a fool, looking confused.
"Amnesia?"
"Adventurers?"
"Oh no, you don't have a weapon."
"Ah, once, I was also an adventurer who ventured through the sea of clouds, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee."
When Irin lay on the street in a daze for ten minutes, he was dissuaded by several amiable town guards, saying that the city lord had an order not to sleep on the streets for no reason.
The guards also pointed out a clear path for Irin, saying that after a hundred meters ahead, turn right and turn right again, and after twenty meters ahead, the "Love and Peace Tavern" on the right hand side was recruiting attendants to try it out and seek a livelihood.
Of course, if it was "just" these encounters, Irin who had lost his memory might still think that he had crossed over.
Doesn't it seem like a normal thing to cross or something?
Until......
A golden exclamation mark popped up above the head of the smiling guard.
It's very golden and bright, with its own sound effects, the kind that brightens the blind.
“!”
At that moment.
Irin suddenly cracked.
“……”
From the memories, Irin's mind returned to the present.
For some reason, Irin always had a delusion.
He seems to be very comfortable with this kind of working in a tavern, and he almost does not need any training, and goes straight to work.
Deal with all kinds of alcoholics, steady and sophisticated.
This skillful technique made Boss Meg praise all day long, which made Irin a little embarrassed.
Moreover, the character of the proprietress also faintly gives Yi Rin a strange sense of familiarity.
As if I've seen something like this somewhere.
"Hiccup~"
The proprietress burped drunkenly into the room and locked the door.
Soon after.
In the bedroom of the proprietress who was alone in the empty boudoir, the sound of singing came out.
It's late at night when Irin finishes his closing work.
He silently looked at his [props], and the money column rose again.
Irin hid in his small room, his fingers slipping down, and he opened the dashboard again.
The panel is very functional.
There are six interfaces.
[Attributes], [Equipment], [Items], [Quests], [Logs], [System].
"It's a kryptonite page game, it's just a little more realistic."
Yi Rin looked at these interfaces and couldn't help but complain from the heart.
"Huh? I obviously lost my memory inexplicably, but why do I know the painting style of 'Krypton Gold Page Tour'? ”
Irin, who soon sensed the inadvertent revelation of his words, fell into deep thought.
These days.
Irin found out a lot of information.
After all, no matter what the world is, the tavern is always a mixed place.
It's a peculiar world.
The level of science and technology in the whole world seems to revolve around two kinds of technology - "crystal" and "steam power".
And in the mouths of some drunkards who seemed to be well-dressed and relatively generous, Irin's vague hearing of strange words such as "giant beast", "Kukai", "ruins", "divine sword", etc., the meaning of which is not clear for the time being.
In short, this is not a world that Irin is familiar with.
Although he lost his memory.
But what they said gave Irin a sense of instinctual strangeness.
- He doesn't belong here.
Of course, the most important thing is ...... Here, it's a game world.
Irin subconsciously knocked on the door of his head with his left hand.
A piece of skin at the door of the brain feels cold, and I don't know if it has some skin disease.
But it doesn't matter.
Not to mention, this feeling of not being able to pick off the dead skin is really addictive.
Irin's habit of picking at the dead skin on his head as he quickly swiped his other hand across the functional panels.
Paddle all the way to the end......
[System].
The system interface, with a few lines of [??? 】。
There seems to be something else that hasn't been unlocked.
And at the bottom of the menu.
There is a [Log Out] button, but it is gray and the color is different from the other buttons.
Irin had already spotted the gray button.
I've tried to press it many times, but nothing happens.
Irin was calm now.
Calm to the point where he himself found it scary.
"This 'log out' button...... It's broken. ”
Not being able to log out means that he can't go back out of the game.
This is obviously a very strange situation.
But Irin, who didn't know why, seemed to be very comfortable and even enjoying this strange situation.
Irin was vaguely aware that in the "real world", his mental state was possible, maybe, as if it were ...... Not quite normal.
But it's useless to think about it now.
Irin calmly began to pick at the dead skin as she analyzed.
"I'm supposed to be a 'gamer,' well, let's just think so."
"It's also possible that it's some kind of 'test subject', 'artificial intelligence' or something. Of course, this is very unlikely. ”
"My memory loss should not be an accident, otherwise I can't explain my current situation of complete separation of 'memory' from 'common sense and cognition'."
"I can't recall everything about the 'real world', but there are no obstacles to the parts about 'logical reasoning', 'values', and 'use of common sense'."
"Let's say I'm a 'high-end gamer' and I'm stuck in a gaming world for some special reason."
"At present, this dilemma can be broken."
"Otherwise, the following inferences will be meaningless."
Irin continued to pick at the dead skin, thinking back to what little "memory" he had in his head.
"I just remember...... I, Irin, 18 years old, Aries, have a well-proportioned body, good looks, and a kind personality. ”
Kind?
Although every time I think of my kind personality in my "cognition", Irin's heart is still puzzled, and it feels a little weird.
But there should be nothing wrong with "cognition...... That's how it should be.
If even this most basic "cognition" is biased, then the inference will return to square one.
Returning to the origin of "who am I", the whole thinking is completely stuck in a dead loop, and there is no solution.
"Let's say I'm stuck in the game world for some 'inevitable' reason, what do I need to do...... Is it to open up the world? ”
"It should be something like ...... Let's do tasks or something. ”
Irin thought as he opened the Quests panel again.
In the [Mission] panel, it is divided into two submenu bars: [Main Quest] and [Side Quest].
[Main Quest] was empty, and Irin didn't receive it.
And in the [side quest], I have completed a lot in the past three days.
It's all small tasks such as serving tea and water, arriving at the destination, and the task rewards taste the same as chewing wax, which is tasteless.
Irin didn't bother to look at it.
"At the moment, it seems that the first thing I have to do to figure out why I'm stuck in the 'game world' is to get in touch with the world more deeply, to go deep into the game world, and finally ...... Complete customs clearance. Perhaps, at that point, there will be a way to leave this 'game world'. ”
"Suppose I have a body...... Irin's head was lowered, his fingers unconsciously picking at the dead skin of his head, and whispering, "My body should be in a 'life support pod' right now?" Wait a minute...... Since I have the concept of a 'life support module' in my cognition, then if I deduce the opposite, I should be a human being. ”
Suddenly, Irin found another piece of evidence about "I'm human", not an artificial intelligence, a consciousness or something like that.
"Another important point is whether my identity as a 'trapped player' is unique in this world."
"It would be interesting if there were other 'players' who were also trapped in the game world. Hehe. ”
Irin, inexplicably, laughed in place.
Even he couldn't figure out why.
Interesting?
That's right.
It's fun.
But why is it interesting?
Obviously, this should be a situation that should make people desperate to suicide.
"I'm in reality...... Could it be a pervert? Irin looked down and pondered, calmly analyzing, and thinking carefully and terrified.
"Forget it."
"For now, it's not helpful to think too much. According to those drunkards, there are many 'monsters' in the wilderness outside Rab Town, which should be the mobs in the game. ”
"When I tried to get out of town before, the guards gave me a friendly reminder, 'Please equip your weapons and venture out of the city', which should be considered a friendly reminder from NPCs in the game world."
"One thing I still need to figure out at the moment is that I'm trapped in this world as a 'player', will I be resurrected once I die?"
"Once your health drops to zero, it will ...... How is it? ”
"Probably...... Will it die? ”
