INK START FANTASY: Dream
CHAPTER 33: MEETING WITH ORIGIN
Savannahs that stretch wide along the viewing eye, decorated with a bright blue sky above the horizon add to the calm and comfortable atmosphere created by it.
Only one, one, is the focus among the stretched grass, the collection of trees that form a single unit of a tree.
It looks like a tree with very large branches for those who see that it is not a branch but the tree trunk itself.
Several tree trunks encircle one main tree as it embraces and protects.
"welcome to my place"
A figure of green humanoid-shaped creature throughout his body without facial mimicry appeared before Dream. The aura and taste emanated from his body was very, very strange.
Fear and emphasis, but also a sense of comfort and tranquility. Intimidation and subjugation, but also a sense of treachery and divination.
All the aura emanating from the creature can be felt by the current Dream.
[You are the one who has met Origin 'The First Being']
[You earned the title [One Who Meet The Origin]]
Not only that, the prom system that appears tells that Dream has earned another title just by meeting this creature alone.
"ha-lo?"
Dreams of seeing that figure and around from where he was at the moment.
"what you said a moment ago intrigued me"
"do I know who you are?"
"oh, mortal tattoos, I'm sorry, I'm not used to it, did you see that tree over there?"
the creature pointed towards the only strangely shaped tree behind it.
"that's me, this world itself gave me the NAME ORIGIN.I am the first being born in this world"
"local god?"
In folklore in the modern world, where the gods are creatures that are not the original inhabitants of the world where humans live. Humans who have lived for millions of years have their own beliefs.
Of course, where some people who live with their own lives have gods that they worship, and gods that exist and live where they come from are usually called local gods. That is what Dream asks, considering that the gods who are usually worshipped by NPC-NPCs in INK FANTASI are residents of the world of Deity, so the creature in front of the Dream that claims itself to be the first creature of this world can be called that he is the original god of this world. It is commonly called a local god.
"they did indeed adore me with the call of the gods, it was a long time ago..."
The answer given by the creature is like being nostalgic with a voice and a view that is pointed in the other direction when talking to Dreams.
"...."
"what's interesting about your words is 'they're invaders' of this world"
"fight in the north of the continent?"
"heh, they won't be able to break through the shield I've made. But as good as any force that works, there must be a limit"
"yes, you're right"
"just, I don't know until when the protective power I'm using will be destroyed"
With what Origin has said, the question of the protectors protecting these creatures from the wars fought on the northern continent has been solved, even if what Origin has said is true.
"then why protect? I don't see those you protect even adore you"
"i don't need anything like that. Look, I'm just an old tree that can't move anywhere..."
A sense of solitude and the emotion of indifference can be felt by Dreams when Origin speaks.
"what's the point if even I can't reach them, after all, only the threat that will come with me can't move a single bit from my place"
What will happen, is only a matter of time until your enemy can eliminate you completely.
Dreams realized what Origin thought of itself, a creature with great power that could do nothing but endure.
"then why not find your person, the person you can trust to be your feet and hands?"
"what trust is enough for a creature that cannot move like me? will they not betray me and stab me?"
"then how is it different from you bringing me here?"
The dream of thinking what Origin does is compared to the words he just said.
"i'm not just here to be quiet, I'm watching what's going on out there. Every action and behavior they took, I knew it. After hearing what you said, I'm interested in you"
"just from a speech? is it so easy for you to trust people like that?"
"i don't care about the people of this world who only seek self-protection from the invaders, I just want to protect where I am"
"..."
"people like you then appear suddenly into this world. I even thought that other invaders came to this world and could break through the protective shield I had created"
Players who have entered the INK FANTASI game are what Origin describes as new invaders.
"strangely enough, despite your meager strength, many of you are doing good things out there"
Sure was! it was all for the sake of leveling up! Dreams do not say out loud to answer what Origin says and only talk about it in your heart.
"i'm getting interested in creatures like you guys..."
"...."
"unfortunately, even so, your actions are not much different from the creatures of this world. Do not question otherworldly invaders and join in worshiping those who are considered gods by people out there"
Yes, players will always look for creatures with great strength to hope they are given and get their own power as they see from these creatures.
So, what Origin calls and concludes is the players who worship the gods in this world. Although the actual purpose of the player is different from what Origin says, but for the inhabitants of this world, what Origin says is 100% accurate.
"until you say that they are the occupiers of this world"
That was what Dream conveyed in front of the altar of the statue of the goddess Lorena just a moment ago.
"but they provide protection and hope for those around them"
"WHAT HOPE COMES FROM THE WAR AND DESTRUCTION OF THIS WORLD! EVEN I WAS THE ONE WHO PROTECTED THEM WITH THE PROTECTORS I CREATED!"
Origin's voice boomed by elevating him from every word he spoke to the Dream question.
"only because some individuals do so at will, cannot judge their entire race'
"..."
"are you jealous they don't adore you that protecting them is actually you not them? do they know about it? you don't even show yourself in front of them, where should they thank you?"
"...."
"...."
There was a long silence after Dreams spewed out all things from her speech. Not a single word came out of the mouths of the two of them until Dream broke the silence that existed.
"then what do you expect from calling me here?"
"what you said has a point, I began to doubt the decision I made..."
Somehow, the meeting that occurred between Dream with Origin became a meeting of debate with what happened about the main world of INK FANTASI.
