After sitting for a day, you decide to turn on the Dawn System.
To open the Dawn system, you first need to construct a reasonable [two-dimensional] world.
"I must enter the Dawn System and repeatedly start the simulation with only me to measure the reasonable initial values of the [two-dimensional] world. In this way, when the [two-dimensional] world truly opens, all humans can Step into a "most reasonable" [two-dimensional] world."
Lin Guang, your most trusted companion, explained what you were going to do. "I understand, it's like trial and error." Lin Guang said.
"Yes, I need to get the most appropriate initial value for the [two-dimensional] world." You said. "Let's get started, I will accompany you." Lin Guang sat next to you.
You store your consciousness in the Dawn System, the time you feel is infinitely magnified, and you start the simulation.
For example, how high the temperature is needed to maximize life. For example, how high the sun is needed to allow plants to grow the fastest.
This requires you to spend years or even decades in the virtual world.
The eighty-ninth simulation is completed and you exit the Dawn System. Through many simulations, you have measured the initial environment values needed for the [two-dimensional] world. Next, there are plant values\animal values\city values... You have to match them up with the real world.
When the [two-dimensional] is officially opened, human beings will be able to enter the new life most adaptably. "You're back? I made you tea." Lin Guang was always sitting next to you.
"How long has reality passed?" You drank his tea. "Ten minutes." Linguang said.
"Well...I have been in the Dawn System for twelve years." You said. Lin Guang said nothing.
He just looked at you quietly, his eyes like stretched moonlight. Even a thousand words can't explain the heaviness. Five seconds later, he hugged you. The hug was trembling to the extreme, like an oath of faith.
At this moment, your nose suddenly felt sore. You patted his back, unable to get away from his trembling.
"Okay, okay..." you whispered.
He is always silent and never leaves you, like a knight holding a bloody sword. You embark on a journey that will not tire you.
District 11. Freedom Alliance. Trial Hall. Hope City. Antofa City... You have constructed the prototypes of many forces in this fictional world and arranged their locations and buildings.
You have visited every corner and measured every inch of land with your feet.
The [two-dimensional] world you constructed is becoming more and more perfect. You believe that after the Dawn System is officially launched, humans will be able to persist in this pure land for a long time.
After the 278th simulation, when you exited the Dawn System, your consciousness fell into a trance. At that moment, you almost forgot who you were.
You suddenly become alert.
The human soul has life span, even if your body is still young.
The length of time you have experienced has begun to exceed your endurance - your soul begins to wear away, your consciousness begins to blur, and your wisdom begins to deteriorate.
In one simulation, you sleep for several days. Sometimes, you will forget how to chew food and need nutrient solution to survive. Sometimes, you will even forget how to speak and pronounce words... You are like a patient suffering from Young people with Alzheimer's disease.
"You, who are you?" After a simulation, you stared at Lin Guang in a daze. He was stunned for a moment, then squeezed your hand: "I am Lin Guang." You nodded.
After a moment, you said: "Who am I?" "You are Asa Akto." You nodded.
After a moment, you said again: "Who am I?"
"You are Asa Akto." Linguang repeated patiently, awakening your worn-out memory.
"I am Asa Akto." You smiled, like a silly baby: "Why do you look so sad? Come on, smile, Lin Guang."
After a while, you said again: "...Hey, who am I?"
You don't understand why Lin Guang looks at you with such pain. Your spirit is on the verge of breaking like a sand tower, like a dehydrated fish.
After taking the medicine, you came back to your senses and realized that you had just suffered from amnesia. You could hardly escape from your fear.
One day, you look in the mirror
I feel like I look so strange in the mirror. What is that thing in my gray eyes... what is it?
Is it the haze on the battlefield? Is it the fine black powder?
Or is it the ashes of the deceased that you held in your own hands and finally fell into your eyes?
Are these silent colors turning your eyes dark gray, or is this their original color?
[I remember that I used to like philosophy and exploration so much.][But now, I can’t even look at it.][——Why?]
[My appearance has never aged, but my soul has entered its twilight years?]
"Teacher, can we give up? Come with me on a long voyage." One day, Tredia raised her head, her red lips were like a ball of fire, and she begged you to leave.
Her clear eyes seem to be questioning you - is it worth it?
"I'm sorry." You said: "I can't. I have to take humans into [two dimensions]." Tretia could only sigh after hearing this. She gave you a bronze pocket watch with a gold chain.
In the simulation, after getting confused about time, you will use it to keep track of time. It is your anchor, reminds you of who you are, and reminds you that there is someone named Tredia waiting for you. .
You have reached the pinnacle of research in the three fields of mechanics, biochemistry, and artificial intelligence. People have begun to respect you as a true god.
But this is not enough.
"The [two-dimensional] world is not perfect yet. We must continue to simulate and make up for every loophole..." You gritted your teeth.
When you can no longer hold on, your companions start to accompany you. "Take us to participate in the simulation." They said: "If you forget how to eat, I will feed you."
"If you forget how to speak, I will teach you how to speak."
"If you get Alzheimer's, we'll raise you like a little kid." "If you forget who we are... we'll reconnect with you."
"You don't have to bear the pain of an entire civilization. Asa Actor. You are a human being, not a god."
Kai handed you the candy, Tredia gave you a hug, Beilisel made a medicinal soup for you, Linguang gave you a flute song, Xi gave you a Luozi, Rongyuan gave you He swore to protect mankind for the rest of his life.
You laughed out loud. You like to hear people say you are not a god. "I want to do something for them."
"Even a little bit is good."
This is the 244th day of the war. Starting from the 293rd simulation, every time you enter the Dawn system, a companion will accompany you.
You and this companion will walk through this desolate [two-dimensional] world together to complete this simulated mission.
But in the end, it turns out that they couldn't hold on before you did. For them, the long time is enough to drive them crazy.
The first person to go crazy was Teredia. She looked like an old lady suffering from Alzheimer's disease, but her face was obviously young...
"Who am I?" she repeated: "Teacher, I love you, who am I?"
You save her brain and enter it into the Dawn System. I hope she can be reborn after the [two-dimensional] world officially opens.
The second one who couldn't hold on was Qi.
According to his last wish, you killed him with your own hands. Qi was unwilling to live in the [two dimensions] in the future as a program, so you respected him.
Before he died, he gave you the candy jar he carefully stored and asked you to eat one every day and don't forget to be happy.
You promised him. You can't be happy at all. (5/9)
After both of them died, you were accompanied by Beilisel.
During the long simulation, Beilisel began to talk in his sleep, dream, and hallucinate.
"It's so cold... Akto." Beilisel hugged you tightly: "Am I dreaming again? Don't die, okay..."
Your vision begins to waver, and you ask to save something.
The human heart can only tolerate a certain degree of despair. The sponge has absorbed enough water. Even if the sea flows over it, it cannot add another drop of water to it.
His expression made you feel like he was about to cry. You really wanted them to stop accompanying you and just continue to lead the war in reality. But they refused. They didn't want you to be alone in the Dawn System. Repeatedly
Simulation, after all you are already showing symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
But you know, you are mortal, and opening the Dawn System requires your life.
It’s hard for you to imagine what kind of madness people will fall into once you die. So you buried many administrator accounts in the [two-dimensional] world and copied your knowledge and body. In this way, there will be a steady stream of people in the future. The "Actor" appeared.
"Beilisel, even if I am not here, you must live." Your eyes trembled.
"No, I will wait for you." Beilisel whispered: "If you disappear one day, I will find a safe place and wait for you forever... until you appear in front of me."
"Don't be like this," you said.
It happened that you walked to a valley, which contained beautiful spring. The white-haired boy stood among the flowers and smiled at you. His smile was innocent and cruel:
"Asa, what do you think of this valley?" "If one day you disappear." "I will wait for you in this valley, forever and ever..."
"You must remember this. Remember that there is a man named Beilisel here waiting for you to come back..." You didn't speak. You just smiled at him silently, turned around, and bit the corner of your mouth to bleed.
[I don’t know who else will leave me.]
[If people want to extend their lives by the death of their companions, I would rather choose to bear it alone. As long as the only one hurt is myself, I won’t feel sad anymore.]
[Otherwise, I always feel like my heart is clutching something, and it’s so depressing that it makes me go crazy.]
[Too many tragedies have happened here. I thought that as long as I had enough people around me, I wouldn’t feel lonely.]
[I seem to be just a heavy shadow, burdened with indescribable unwillingness.] [Every minute, every second, is unforgettable.] [If there are cages everywhere, what's the use of escaping?]
[…No.][I don’t want.]
While you're constantly simulating, you're also leading a real-world war.
On the 257th day of the war, in the middle of the sand, you tremblingly raised the sword in your hand and called on people to avenge the victims, roaring at the top of your lungs.
"——Please keep fighting!"
"——Please continue to fight for the dead Tredia\Yue and Qi, and for the life and glory of mankind!"
The way people look at you is different from fanaticism, but more like admiration. They seem to hope that by looking at you, they can connect themselves to some kind of heavenly kingdom.
The shackles of all living things are pressed against your legs, and you walk a long way with these shackles bleeding.
While you have to endure the sequelae caused by the aging of your soul, you have to make the most decisive and precise war decisions.
And the pain that accumulated for a long time finally turned into a sentence-"-Please follow me to live." It is indestructible, like a declaration of war on fate.
You repeated such a call, your face became bloodshot and your skin turned red due to the continuous call. "-Please follow me to live!" But it didn't take long.
They turn into tombstones in front of you. [Sometimes, I want to die in battle.]
[But people’s eyes tell me - no, you don’t have the right to die. They will even use their lives to build a strong wall for me, and use their actions to cut off the possibility of my death.]
[Their expectations turned into a deep curse.]
[I fought desperately, but all I got was a me that was riddled with holes. But if I didn’t fight, even the me that was riddled with holes would be gone.]
Day 261 of the war. You are gradually turning into a machine.
Sometimes, tears fall down your cheeks without even noticing. You often feel sad and angry, but you don’t know what you are sad about. It seems that it is just a physiological reaction composed of hormones, rather than something called emotion in your brain. .There are voices bursting out in grief one after another in your mind.
[Again.][Again.][Again...]
Lin Guang is always sitting by your side, accompanying you in the simulation.
After a simulation ends, you gasp violently and almost lose your breath.
"Can you think for yourself... even once? You become the scale itself, with the world on one end and you on the other. Once in a hundred or a thousand measurements, you will turn the scale sideways.
Your direction?" Lin Guang looked at you:
"You always... wrong yourself\ignore yourself\hurt yourself\sacrifice yourself..." But you just smiled and did not agree to his plea.
"No need to persuade me, this is the thousand and second simulation. I succeeded." You said to him. Lin Guang was slightly startled. He never thought you would succeed.
But you really did it.
Just like in slow motion, you see the excitement in Lin Guang's eyes, and you see your companions rushing towards you happily. You see... the perfect [two-dimensional] data is collected by you, just waiting You officially bring all humans in.
Just waiting for you...to pour your life into it.
You finally built the most perfect [two-dimensional] initial world - you named it "Caius Tower".
"In times of catastrophe, it represents a legend." You whispered:
"I hope... this bird of hope and peace can bring the morning sun to mankind." "The pioneer will never die, and the dawn will live forever." "I am willing to do my best to bring you the future."
"The smile has long since disappeared from my face, and my tone has become cold. Not even the piano can bring back the softness in my temperament."
"How long has it been since I hugged someone or touched someone's hand? I have no memory of what a temperature of 36.7 degrees is like. I have become something I can't even imagine."
"So, I have always hated deifying a person. This is tantamount to depriving a person of his sensibility, depriving him of his soft shell, depriving him of his ability to communicate and love, and enshrining him on a cold throne. , alienated into a steel symbol surrounded by flowers."
"I am proud to be a human being. In my eyes, gods are an disgusting race." "But this devastated world needs gods." "But everyone needs me to become a god."
“So, I am Asa Aktor.” “—I debase myself as a god.”
"—— According to legend, there is a bird named "Caius". It rises at dusk and sets at dawn. It hovers in the sky and always follows the first ray of dawn. "—— According to legend, it It will never die, never touch the ground, and will always fly in the air. It is the embodiment of hope. When you separate from the dawn system little by little, you finally feel quiet. On the horizon, the morning sun rises... You look into the distance The Chaoyang smiled softly... You looked at the red Dawn System in front of you with gentle eyes. It takes your life to open it. You smiled softly and slowly, but your smile seemed to be somewhere unknown. Sighing, bulging and trembling emotions are swelling. The white birds are circling around you. Like a grand sacrifice.
