A View of the True World/Transcript

Helper: I’ve been with you and helping you for a while now

Helper: you’ve always said something about the “true world” or whatever that is

Helper: so, what’s with this “true world” you’ve been talking about?

nightdinosaur: it’s complicated. We do have a pretty good anology tho

Helper: We? What do you mean by “we”?

nightdinosaur: the ones who know. We form a team. One of them is waterfall166\_77, who is working with me to narrate this live story

Helper: what is that

nightdinosaur: there’s two main types of stories, fictional stories and live stories.  Fictional stories are the ones you commonly read. Those where the paths are planned, you know what the characters are going to do because you write them, they aren’t real

nightdinosaur: and the live stories are where the characters are real. We can only ‘narrate’ them. Basically we can only describe what is happening around. In some live stories, we can’t even narrate the dialogues. Once a character speaks, their dialogue is written down; while some live stories you can decide whether to include their dialogues or not

Helper: ok, but this doesn’t help with the “true world”

nightdinosaur: this is going to take a lot of explaining… I’ll tell you the main things first

nightdinosaur: I’ll explain the main concept of Rooms, Levels, and Houses. These are the main things. Once you fully understand I’ll tell you more stuff like crashes, The Void, Interhouse Transmissive Tunnel, House types and more

nightdinosaur: ok, this is the easiest analogy for beginners to grasp the concept. Pretend there’s a big building with a lot of floors, each floor containing a lot of apartment.

nightdinosaur: the building is called House. The floor is called Level. The apartment is called Room.

nightdinosaur: all Level in a House holds similar physics law, although slightly different. All Rooms in a Level holds more similar physics law, but again they could be different.

nightdinosaur: me and waterfall166\_77 lies on Level 1, while this OTOS competition lies on Level 0. You could travel between Levels by Stairs, an item our team has.

nightdinosaur: When travelling, your soul leaves your body and goes to the Level you want to travel. Normally, you would lose everything you have currently and need to find a Vessel, which is an inanimate thing, to possess.

nightdinosaur: However, one of our excellent team member managed to make the incredible invention, Stairs. Stairs is the only thing you get to keep with when you travel. This allows for a way back if that Level doesn’t have anyone who knows these travelling devices.

nightdinosaur: additionally, another member managed to incorporate the Vessel in the Stairs. You could preset a Vessel. After travelling, you possess that Vessel and the Stairs will preset the new Vessel as your old one.

nightdinosaur: In my case, the Vessel I’m currently in is a human body. And I built an inanimate version of Liy to be my Vessel preset. That means if I travel, I will become Liy and the Stairs would take the human body as a preset.

nightdinosaur: Yup. That’s the main concept of these.

Helper: I see. But who made these stupid names? Who calls a device Stairs?

nightdinosaur: It isn’t supposed to called that. Since the team consists of members from different Houses, Levels and Rooms, not all of them speak English.

nightdinosaur: We use a new language. And you can’t translate it to English since stuff like Houses, Levels, Rooms, Stairs are special words. Stairs is the best I could think of.

nightdinosaur: now that you know this, do you want to see different Rooms in different Levels?

Helper: Sure!

nightdinosaur: ok. I always bring an extra Stairs with me. Take it. Now follow the instructions at the back and preset to whatever you want.

Helper: I’ll be a dinosaur! I love dinosaurs!

nightdinosaur: alright. I’ll be heading to the House that our team resides in. To inform them that I told you the main concepts of these, and to get an extra Stairs.

nightdinosaur: now there’s one Room that you absolutely should not go to. That Room is an anomaly and the team sent me and waterfall166\_77 to investigate some of it. It’s weird because the can somehow revive dead people. Normally when you die you just reincarnate. If you’re lucky you still have some of your past live memories.

nightdinosaur: and recently while I was narrating and investigating, I found out they can use a machine that disables any knowledge of anything about the True World.

nightdinosaur: so yeah, it’s really really dangerous and you should not go there- oh no where did my helper just go
