“How are you feeling now?”

After discussing a few things with one another and after contemplating a little, they received news that Olive had gained consciousness and went to the hospital behind their building.

They simply walked out to see what was happening around them with their own eyes, and just like how they had seen in the news, there were all kinds of things happening around their building, much less the city and the rest of the world.

“I’m alright, haaa. How many times do I have to say that?”

Olive had woken up and it didn’t seem like she was in a bad condition or anything. She was talking with them, she was smiling as well, but… both of them knew she was hiding a lot of things from them.

And, she knew they wanted to know about those things.

“Haaaa…”

She needed a little longer to process her words though, and the two knew that. That was the reason they weren’t saying anything and were simply watching whatever was going on in the news.

[The question that was asked by most people all around the world including the governments and the people of power was simply: What was happening right now.

And to answer that, the Creators of the [Twelve Commandments] or the artificial intelligence ‘Origins’ that has been proven to be the cause of all the strange happenings around the metaworld, have given one simple word: Change.]

Just like almost everyone else in this hospital, they were also watching news of how the Creators had answered the questions that were asked the most by the public all around the world.

They had used a quick survey to collect and combine various kinds of questions and given an option to add the question for the people as well.

The artificial intelligences or the Origins that were looking at the world in real time and were examining the world in the same manner as they had done with that virtual world until now.

They were looking at this world through every single element present like Gods, and they had access to every bit of data that was present in any part of this world, including the physical data that was not archived by anyone.

[They say that the one and simple reason they had created the twelve Origins was to see to what extent an artificial intelligence could learn.

They have revealed that they never really had any idea what this experiment would result in when they opened the world which was created by these artificial intelligences to the people all around the world.

They have accepted the fact that they had always set a Protocol in order to block the AIs from accessing their world, or affecting their world in any manner which could ever only be undone when THEY have completely gotten an idea about the ‘human’ consciousness, however, from what they had theorized, they were expecting that something, anything about this world that we know as ‘real’ would actually change when a Higher form of ‘virtual’ existence gains a proper, actual consciousness.]

Ultimately, right now, even though their world was still the same world that they knew, the AIs that created the other world, the virtual world that they knew about, which had just become ‘conscious’ beings or something closer to actual gods, were now present in their world as well.

And they were everywhere, just like how it was in that world.

“The reason we are able to see the screens even outside is simply because the Origins that we only had in that world are now present in this world as well.” Olive finally spoke up while shaking her head at the news reporters that were trying to complicate things.

“Since the source exists in this world as well, the concepts that they were made of, the Truths that they were in charge of, now exist in this world as well.

The status window is the start.

As the two worlds collide, unimaginable things will start happening.”

Elio and Alex had not noticed it earlier, but Olive’s eyes were brown now.

They were almost a metallic bronze. And looking closer, inside her eyes, they could also strangely see some strange words or markings or symbols moving around.

It was strange, and after she blinked a few times and shook her head, they vanished as well.

Her eyes returned to the normal purple color that they originally were. And, she shook her head and grabbed both their hands.

“I want you two to promise me something…”

The way she seriously looked at them was concerning.

“No.”

“I can’t do that before you tell me what happened to you Olive. First, tell me what happened when all of us were thrown out of that game.”

“It’s not a game.” She corrected him firmly.

Shaking her head, she called up her own status window, which was proof that the world was not simply a ‘game’.

“The reason all of this is happening, at its core, is because of the ‘realness’ of that virtual world.”

First of all, she changed her status screen to a different function which neither of them had seen until this point.

A map similar to an astrological map opened up before them with stars, constellations, celestial bodies, and even Celestial Beings of all kinds present before them.

Here, she highlighted not twelve but fifteen distinct regions.

“This is that world.” She drew a red dividing line separating twelve constellations which belonged to the Origins or the maintainers of the truth, as well as two remaining on the other side of the line.

“And this is ours.” With two on one side, twelve on the other, there was one that existed right at the center of these two worlds, and… just from looking at this constellation, they could tell one thing for certain.

“It’s you…”

“What… what’s the meaning of this?”

With a bitter look on her pretty face, she shook her head once again.

And then, she told them about what had happened right after the rest of them got logged out of the Game.

It wasn’t something simple, but, with her new knowledge and abundance of experience, she tried to explain it in as simple a manner as she could.

She knew how smart they were so, she didn’t worry about them understanding the crazy things that she was now going to tellthem…
