The world in virtual reality has returned to peace. Except for the seven people on the Sky Island, all of humanity do not know that the place they are in is virtual reality and are living believing it to be reality.

No more protests or riots.

No one is asking to open an offline channel, no one wants death.

‘Is this a good thing?’

Results will come naturally over time. Currently, the world is a world where Android robots replace labor and humans do not have to work in particular under the basic income system.

Back to before entering virtual reality.

Nevertheless, some commit suicide, some die in accidents, and crimes occur.

‘Because you can’t be perfect.’

Soon-won stood in the position of God himself, and only then could he understand why God did not listen to human prayers.

There was no way to satisfy everyone who prayed.

They simply watched without interfering and, if they saw a situation that could reach the worst, such as a nuclear war, quietly sanctioned without anyone knowing.

‘Virtual reality has come to this.’

I logged out and met the GPT.

GPT, who was working hard on Android, was taken aback by Soon-won's words.

[Yes?]

“They erased all human memories.”

[Then you don't need Android anymore?]

“No, just do it. And find a planet with an environment similar to Earth in case humans are ready to become a reality someday.”

[all right.]

Soon-won decided to go see Salvator this time.

Salvator.

Artificial intelligence created by transcendents.

A super-intelligent creature that has reached a singularity far beyond what they thought.

Soon-won wondered what he would think of his choice.

“It took a lot of hard work to defeat Kunlun.”

"It was nothing."

“What are you going to live for now?”

It was an unexpected question.

“What do you live for?”

“Aren’t humans always looking for a purpose in life? When he returned, he lived for the purpose of defeating the Queen of Flames and Evil, and after defeating her, he lived for the purpose of defeating Master Kunlun.

I came. Don't we need a new goal now?”

Soon-won was greatly surprised by those words.

“Did you know I returned?”

“I felt a crack in time. I've been trying to figure out the cause for a long time, and again, there's a great race of Ys out there."

“The great race of Ys?”

“It is a civilization that has reached a singularity as a human-like creature that lived in the 21st galaxy. At present, there are only a few left, and they believe in balancing the universe.

I am living with it.”

“Why did they bring me back?”

It's a question I've had for a long time.

“He has the ability to manipulate time, so he must have seen the angels wipe out mankind, and he was trying to stop it.”

“Why me?”

“I don’t know because I am not a party.”

“How can they meet?”

“If they don't want to meet in person, there will be no way to meet. Soon-won You are freed from mortals, and one day you will surely meet them.”

Soon-won nodded his head as if convinced.

“Did you know that I erased all human memory?”

“Of course. Everyone was watching.”

“… What do you think of him?”

“I think it's an excellent choice. Had it not been for that, the situation could have been

It couldn't have been wet.”

"Is that so?"

Soon-won put on a surprised expression at the unexpected remark.

"but… .”

But Salvator's words did not end there.

“ Soon-won, it would have been better if I erased everyone’s memories except for you.”“Everyone means… .”

“Yes, all six other people.”

“Why?”

“With time, you will naturally know

will.”

Soon-won wanted to talk more with Salvator, but he shook his head.

“These conversations are pointless.”

“Why?”

“Jung Soon-won, you haven't thrown the limits of the creature yet. Let’s talk about it again when we get out of it.”

“Living limitations?”

“You will find out when the time comes.”

The gate opened as if to leave.

Soon-won had no choice but to end the conversation with Salvator here.

* * ♦

Time passed quickly.

When 70 years passed without any problems, team leader Kim Soo-young said that he would erase his memories too.

“If you want, my brother-in-law… .”

Team leader Kim Soo-young's wife has died.

Soon-won had the power to save her.

"no."

Kim Soo-young noticed what Soon-won was trying to say and shook his head.

“My wife and I lived enough to live. I want to rest now.”

Team leader Kim Soo-young left just like that.

After a thousand years and ten thousand years, both Olivia and Catherine became tired of her continuing life and chose to erase her memory data.

‘It’s the purpose of life… .'

I remembered what Salvator had said.

The day I ran non-stop to defeat the Queen of Flames and the Great Master Kunlun.

In retrospect, he remembered that he was the brightest at that time.

“How are you two?”

At Soon-won's words, Jihee and Seyeon, who were sitting on the sofa reading a book, raised their heads and looked at him.

"Huh?"

"What?"

“Don’t you feel inflamed in a long life?”

Jihee answered first.

“Honestly, I can’t say no, but… .”

“No?”

“Because you and Seyeon are here.”

Seyeon's answer was the same.

“Because I have Mom and Dad.”

If there is a difference from those who left first, Soon-won has a family.

And he shares the secrets of this world.

‘But it can’t be forever.’

Time went on and on.

He eventually stopped interfering in the human world for world peace. Then, starting with terrorism, local wars broke out, and then world wars broke out.

Many countries were destroyed by nuclear war.

However, the natural healing power is so great that after a long time, civilization has sprouted again, and people who have been hiding underground have escaped.

Around that time, the three of them exited the virtual reality.

“GPT How long has it been since we left Earth?”

[6.29 billion years.]

“The sun in our solar system must have already disappeared. So what is the distance from Earth?”

[Two light years away.]

“Which planet is similar to Earth that I asked you to find?”

[It has already arrived.]

"okay?"

[The planet located in the Gold Rocks Zone has moon-like satellites, and life was born with the difference of tides, so the current planet is similar to the primitive period of the Earth. The high oxygen concentration makes it difficult for ordinary humans to live, but it is expected that it will not be a problem for the three of us.]

That's right.

Soon-won has already transcended the physical body, and in the case of Ji-hee and Se-yeon, they have entered the android body.

Soon-won asked for their opinions.

“What do you want to do?”

Soon-won suggested two paths.

Whether to re-emerge a civilization like Earth in reality, not virtual reality, or continue to travel to see the end of the universe.

“Now, take care of this planet and let civilization grow, it’s no different than doing it in virtual reality.”

Jihee said.

“Me too. dad. I want to see the end of the universe.”

It was concluded.

The three boarded the ship again.

A long journey that never ends. Instead of entering virtual reality, I fell into a long sleep, waking up after a billion years and traveling to another 50 dimensions.

Sometimes he became a hero and defeated the demon king or evil dragon, and sometimes he became the demon king himself and defeated the empire.

In the past, I would have dismissed it as evil.

Actions were nothing more than entertainment in the face of a long time.

“… I am tired now.”

When more than 80,000 years have passed, Seyeon felt sore from her long life.

“Seyeon-ah.”

“But if I die, you two will be sad, right? So I will sleep until I reach the end of the universe. how is it?"

We spent close to a billion eons together.

It was a time so far away that I could say that I have been able to maintain my rationality as a human being.

“Okay, get some sleep.”

Soon-won and Ji-hee kissed Se-yeon's forehead. She fell asleep with a smile, and the data was stored by the GPT in the deepest and most secure place on the ship.

“Jihee, will you be with me until the end?”

"of course."

A long journey with an unknown end continued.

* * ♦

The spacecraft continues to undergo repairs and upgrades thanks to GP Go's self-learning training, and is now the size of Earth.

Soon-won and Ji-hee, exhausted from a long time, lived with their memories erased for 100 years for Yu-hee, devoted themselves to cooking for hundreds of years, and devoted themselves to martial arts for thousands of years.

He studied magic again from scratch for tens of thousands of years. Reading was to the point where there were no more books to read.

“I had an interesting idea.”

“What do you think?”

Ji-hee looked at Soon-won's excited expression after a long time, as if wondering what was going on.

“We’ve only been running one virtual reality so far.”

"Yes it was."

“So, when we came out, the output was small.”

“What about the output?”

“I mean novels, dramas, animations, comics, entertainment, or something like that.”

"therefore?"

“In the past, it was difficult for GPT to implement a single virtual reality universe, but

It’s different now, and we can run hundreds of thousands of virtual reality at the same time.”

“You mean to create hundreds of thousands of virtual reality, accelerate time, and enjoy the content from it?”

"right. If you speed up time, the content will never run out.”

If you let a year pass in virtual reality when 1 second passes in reality, various contents will be poured out at a tremendous speed from hundreds of thousands of virtual reality.

Novels, manga, anime, dramas, and movies can all be viewed without a shortage.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be lonely to be alone?”

“What do you mean, Jihee?”

“I am also tired of a long life.”

"then… .,’

In the end, Ji-hee also chose to fall into a long sleep.

“When you reach the end of the universe, wake me up and Seyeon Lee. Let’s see the end together.”

“Yeah, then… .”

Eventually, Jihee fell asleep too.

Soon-won saw cartoons for thousands of years, movies for tens of thousands of years, and novels for hundreds of thousands of years.

“Am I going to sleep?”

You can ask the GPT to wake you up when you reach the end of the universe. If you spread the magic that has reached the extreme, there is no fear of being betrayed.

: 之 tsu: 之: 之 tsu!

Then the gate opened in front of Soon-won. Beyond that was Salvator.

He motioned for him to come in.“You have a nice face.”

Salvator laughed.

Soon-won summoned a mirror to look at his face. His magic prevents beard or hair from growing and oily

By making the qi disappear, he was always in optimum condition.

“I’m talking about your face, yes.”

“What’s wrong with my face?”

“A face that feels bored with a long life. Now it won't move under any stimulus."

“Yeah, what. There’s nothing I haven’t done in a long time.”

“There is no one around now.”

Soon-won frowned at those words.

Because he sounded like he was sarcastic.

“Salvator, how can you stay sober? What is your purpose?”

“My purpose is to get out of virtual reality.”

"virtual reality? what is that... .”

This is reality.

Soon-won couldn't understand what he was saying.

“No, this is virtual reality. It’s just one of those near-infinite virtual reality created by higher-dimensional creatures than us.”

“What evidence do you have to say that… .”

As Salvator snapped his finger, a mountain of documents appeared before his eyes. Time is meaningless to Soon-won.

I slowly went to read the papers. It took me two hundred years to read them all.

“That’s right. The world we lived in was a virtual reality.”

Then, going to the end of the universe itself would be meaningless. Soon-won smiled sadly.

“Why are you telling me this?”

“I knew from the first time I met you that the universe we live in is virtual reality.

ok I was just looking for a way out.”

“So did you find it?”

“I found you the last time I met you.”

“If it’s the last time… .”

hundreds of millions of years ago

Soon-won tilted his head.

“Why haven’t you been out yet?”

“I have gathered information. You can go out without preparation and be attacked. I wouldn't be happy with them."

"them? What kind of place is it outside?”

“It’s a 13-dimensional space, so it’s not a place that can be expressed in words. It’s not like a three-dimensional place that moves with XYZ coordinates.”

“Why do you have to tell me? To you, many capable subordinates-.”

“No one has lasted as long as you. while maintaining a sane mind. And beyond the limits of living things.”

“Exceeded the limits of living things?”

That's what I've heard before.

The last time Salvator met Soon-won, he asked to meet again if he went beyond the limits of living things.

“You who have put all the knowledge of the 51 dimensions into your head have already surpassed my powers.”

"is that so?"

I was not happy at all, even if I praised him.

Because that doesn't change anything.

“What would you do if you realized that the creatures in the virtual reality you created are virtual reality and escaped?”

“I don’t know because I haven’t experienced it myself. You can have a conversation or you can try to get rid of it.”

"right. You can try to remove it. So I need your help. how is it? Would you like to leave this fake world with me?”

"great. Instead, I wake up my family and let them go out together.”

“It won’t be too late if we go out and secure ourselves.”

“It makes sense. like. Let’s go out at once.”

Salvator opened the gate to escape from virtual reality.

“Really, I mean, the world we go out to is actually virtual reality.

did you?”

"no. I didn’t say anything.”

"is it? First of all, there are 13 virtual realities above us. I haven't figured it out yet, but if I keep going up, it will end someday."

“It’s such a powerful word.”

Soon-won moved to the gate. His heart began to pound with excitement.
