Prologue: Brutal game
The Game of Eternal Life
[Preface: Cruel Game]
I believe that all of us have played games, and since we were born, we have participated in various games, either actively or passively.
Games basically have rules, and rules need to be learned.
Even for the simplest of chase frolic, you have to learn the concepts of "chase" and "escape" first, otherwise you won't be able to participate in the game of chase.
It's very simple, isn't it?
Have you ever thought about the nature of games, though?
There's no doubt that we've all experienced great joy in gaming – some of which we can't even experience anywhere else, because fun is a quality that games must have, but is that what the nature of gaming is?
No.
Don't forget, we, as the spirits of all things, are really just a higher form of life.
Survival has always been the most cruel thing in the world.
Take the simplest game of all, "chase and frolic", for example, which is a game that even wild beasts play, but in the process of chasing and fighting, wild beasts are actually practicing how to survive - carnivores are practicing hunting, herbivores are practicing escape and resistance.
If you fail to hunt once, you will starve, and if you fail to hunt several times, you will starve to death.
Or, if you fail to escape, you will become food in the mouths of other animals.
How cruel, how bloody!
But when we watch wildlife documentaries, we just think it's cute to watch those young animals frolicking with each other, right? Few people thought that behind these warm and beautiful things, there would be the essence of blood.
In English, both "game" and "play" have the meaning of competition - playing chess, playing cards, football, basketball, online games, you are competing against your opponents, or games that can be played by a single player such as running and building blocks, you are actually challenging your own limits, which is of course a kind of competition.
Everything in our lives can ultimately be boiled down to four words, that is, "competition for survival".
The game covers and can exercise almost all of our survival skills, physical strength, intelligence, reflexes, endurance, etc. - since the development of human civilization, the bloody jungle rules have long been less straightforward, but the difference between the winner of life who sits on a mansion and spends a lot of money and the defeated dog who is oppressed by life and exploits the surplus value by the capitalists can be calculated in millimeters?
The essence of the game is a reflection of reality and a rehearsal of survival.
But it strips out the brutal process, leaving only the thrill of achieving your goal — the nerve impulses that were meant to motivate you to survive.
After all......
The ultimate horror is the eternal silence of death.
So, let's start the story......
