Chapter 16 Numbers Rising

The rock understood something new. Silence sounds different now because it didn't know the contrast before.

Silence and song. Beauty and... destruction.

The rock was flung out of the planet's crust, breaking away from its temporary shell that was still as hard as diamond.

It sinks deeper and deeper, trying to escape silence and destruction. There was destruction on the surface, but underneath there was silence. It doesn't want to hear it either.

There is no way to escape.

Its territory is getting bigger and bigger, expanding outwards, and the rock once again hears the sound of destruction above. Crush the earth, crush the mountains.

Not music.

It wants music.

It escaped deeper, sinking further toward the center of the Earth, away from it all. But it found more silence.

The shock wave ended its journey around the Earth.

Numbers, numbers, so many numbers – they’re all going up.

But now it is silent. The rocks were so deep that the music could not be heard. It doesn't feel the beautiful fire. It really wants to do that. It's not oppressive. It's not sad. It's not shocking.

But it does have a sense of loss. frustration. This was a greater loss than it had ever felt before, since the rock had never really lost anything of note.

There is no beauty and no music in heaven. All it felt was destruction. Firestorms, lava, shattered surfaces. There wasn't even sunlight, as endless clouds of dust and ash covered the sky, blocking out the daylight and leaving the land below in perpetual darkness.

The loss hit it hard, so the rock tried to burn the sound out of its mind because it didn't want to remember what it had lost.

But the stone does not, cannot be forgotten. All this is burned into its mind.

it. Can. no. forget.

The music of that last moment played over and over in its mind, teasing a continuation of the melody, a continuation that the rock would never hear.

Lose...it loses something.

The rock doesn't even get the numbers right as it sinks deeper and deeper into the Earth's mantle. It did not move as the planet gave its last trembling breaths, nor did it move when it felt the presence around it fading away, heralding the most powerful reminder.

congratulations!

Starting the planetary fusion process…

It accepted the hint, only for it to disappear faster. But it doesn't take into account the consequences. It's not looking at new data. It doesn't observe itself growing, merging with what's around it, becoming the biggest thing.

Now, it doesn't care.

No, that rock only has one thing stuck to it. It's lost something, so it needs to gain something. There is a balance in this world, right? A certain amount of energy becomes a certain amount of momentum. It gets it. The world operates in balance.

It spends all its efforts on its exploration. The exploration is still ongoing. Waiting to be realized. The distance indicator has bottomed out, but missions take a lot of time to unlock.

So, the reward is certainly appropriate.

The rock clings to hope. Can this mission bring back music?

It shed no tears. There is no hopelessness in it. Because it is a rock, these things are not its nature. For most problems, rocks always have a simple solution.

So it waits.

Wait.

Wait.

But the music didn't come back. It kept hearing this voice in its head.

So Rock finally understood the true meaning of loss. Because waiting never feels difficult. Now it can't wait any longer. This is wrong.

It should have been easy.

nature.

So it languishes in wait, the planet rumbling above it, getting closer to the rock.

But, in the end...
