Round 2 Starts With 990,000 Points - Chapter 100
100 – Paranoia (2)
It was fun at first. It’s bound to be fun to play with people who are similar to reality by demonstrating almighty power.
Then I got bored. When everything moves as expected, the fun is gone.
The biggest problem was the basic nature of the world.
The ending has been decided.
The world in his delusion was based on the novel he had completed. Thus, when the content of the novel is over, the world is over. Everything in the world stops for a moment.
People, animals, plants, sunlight, clouds, wind, everything that was alive and moving comes to a halt. She then unleashed her omnipotent powers and rewinded her time back to the beginning. Because it was much easier to turn back time than to make everything move again.
She repeated it several times.
Things that are fun at first become boring if you repeat them over and over again. It is relatively uninteresting. After repeating it several times, the world in the omnipotent delusion is no longer fun. Interest has declined.
Around that time, she had another idea.
If it’s not fun, you can make it fun.
At that time, the first thing she worked on was to revise the rules of the world. As the laws of physics are modified, the rules of the world are modified, so they interlock with each other and roll well. She was satisfied
I’m not bored now.
She continued to work on this as she added game modes. Daye Yu has spoken and explained this far.
“Your status window system was also created at that time.”
“Speaking of the status window system… Are you talking about a contribution shop or something like a contribution shop?”
“Yes. Originally, I made it for fun. If you look at the talent there, there is something like a chainsaw incarnation, right?”
“Ah.”
“I added it because I thought it would be fun. I was impressed by the cartoon.”
Come to think of it, there are many things in the system that remind me of the real world. Daye Yu said this and started talking again.
She repeated the play, adding the rules of the world just like adding a mode. However, if you repeat this over and over again, at some point it becomes boring and boring.
It’s no fun when I create content and consume content myself.
It’s fun to just enjoy what others have made. Because you can enjoy it purely.
But it’s less fun to re-enjoy what you’ve created. You can genuinely enjoy what others have made, so why is it less fun to make your own?
Perhaps it’s because the flaws are so visible that it hinders immersion.
How to do it.
She thought again and came to a conclusion.
If I don’t make it, someone else can make it.
Yu Da Ye created other beings as she combed clay. She was the one who would make this delusional world fun on her behalf.
She named the being Chaos and began to reshape the world by relying on him. Darkness created many unexpected things.
Existences such as Outbound Avalanche, Cthulhu, and Elder Hall.
Yu Daye was amused by the unexpected. Then, at some point, she got tired of even that.
Why is it boring?
She thought again and then realized.
It’s no fun because I’m omnipotent.
Even a fun game is less fun if you use cheat keys to enjoy it. Although it seems fun at first, the game easily gets boring and boring. She realized that she had to drastically limit her own omnipotence.
That’s how the ‘interference of the world’ and various ‘restrictions’, ‘trials’ and ‘rewards’, and contribution and contribution systems are created. Daye Yu perfectly established the reward system at this time.
Everything was for a sense of accomplishment to enjoy this world.
I left the function to turn back time just in case. It was because he believed that even the worst situation could be reversed by turning back time.
She is no longer omniscient or omnipotent. The darkness continued to grow and develop. She was satisfied with that fact and fully immersed in enjoying the world.
It was fun for a while. She thought the system she had created was perfect. It’s a world that exists completely for your own pleasure.

I frowned. The flow of the story becomes more and more strange. From the beginning, the story begins with a story outside common sense, so more and more stories outside common sense are inevitable.
“So why did you summon me?”
“I have a problem.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I can’t get rid of it.”
“What?”
“Chaos.”
She said her routine is to rewind time when the ending comes. Because everything in the world stops. She said it was because the world was based on a novel she had completed.
I didn’t understand it, but I just skipped it. It’s because there were too many things that didn’t make sense from the beginning.
And the nonsensical things are unfolding as reality. Right in front of my eyes. I said.
“Should I get rid of it? Wasn’t that what you wanted from the beginning?”
“The cycle is getting shorter.”
“What cycle?”
“The cycle of destruction.”
Around that time, as we talked, the drink we ordered was completed. The bell rang and I went to pick it up. She left her and I got up. My head was confused and I wanted to clear things up a bit.
I thought I only ordered coffee, but there was also a meat sandwich and cheesecake. When I returned to her seat, she said with a smile.
“The cheesecake here is delicious.”
She scooped up her cake and ate it. I said after sorting out what I had heard from her.
“What do you mean by shortening the cycle of extinction?”
“In any content, be it a novel or a game, the formula is that the difficulty of the enemy increases near the ending.”
“It’s usually like that.”
“From my point of view, all of those things were expected, so it was no longer fun, so I turned the authority over to Chaos.”
“I said I did.”
“So, in terms of a game, the level of difficulty increases with each round. A guy who should have come out in the middle comes out at the starting point, or a guy who should have come out weak in the first place comes out too strong.”
I remembered my past life. Come to think of it, the Elder Hall suddenly appeared and destroyed the world. And the world rewinds.
“That was the reason why the world suddenly perished in the last episode.”
“Ah.”
“Oh?”
“That is not true.”
“Isn’t that so?”
“That was what I destroyed.”
“… What.”
“I didn’t know you would do anything. To think that they would just sit by and leave everything to the leading actors…. After I found out about it, I was so shocked that I deliberately reset it.”
I didn’t understand.
“If you had come and said this on the day I was summoned, none of that would have happened. I am not a fictional character. Just because I entered the world in the novel for no reason, I don’t move with the same sense of duty that I have to protect the world.”
“Yes. Sorry. I overlooked that. And the reason I am meeting you and talking about this now is because there are restrictions such as interference from the world.”
“World interference?”
“As I said earlier, being omnipotent made me feel less fulfilled and less fun, so this is a system to limit my sense of omnipotence. At that time, I also created this system. If a real person like me comes here, we can meet after a while.”
“Why such restrictions….”
“At the time, I created these restrictions while thinking of something like a dungeon master in a TRPG. Like a dungeon master, leading the situation behind the scenes, then appearing at the end and telling everything….”
“It’s an obvious sensibility, but. That’s great. Can’t we just get rid of those restrictions?”
“That’s the problem.”
She put the fork away from the cake and said.
“Now I can’t get rid of it.”
“I can’t get rid of it.”
“I am no longer omnipotent. No, it’s not that I’m not omnipotent…. Anyway, as I continued to enjoy myself, it became less fun. So, before the problem became visible, we created a new play concept.”
“A new play concept?”
“Dungeon Master.”
A dungeon master is a game organizer who manages player events in a game like TRPG.
“I wanted to show others the world I had created. That’s why we changed the rules of the world very temporarily so that only the player can see the ending. Moreover, the moment you see the ending properly, you can remove or modify the restrictions…. I can’t do anything. I am now a dungeon master, not a player.”
She scooped up the cake again and ate it.
“Also, around that time, I learned how to summon others by interfering with the real world. You know the secrets of the world. After all, the real world is also a kind of simulation.”
“Was the summoning method summoning people who read your novels?”
“Yes.”
She was depressed as she answered.
“But…. Surprisingly, no one read my novel. No one has read them all. So, as time went on, the cycle of destruction became shorter and the situation became more serious. Then you read my work to the end for the first time. And I gave it a 0.5 Star rating.”
“Um.”
“At the time, I just wanted to try something like a dungeon master in a TRPG. It was a pure heart. And you are the only player. You have to see the ending to reset all the restrictions you have placed.”
