Highest Place

Ch 7: The Other Side of the World

Inside the tent where Rudy and everyone are camping tonight. At this time everyone has fallen asleep, including Rudy himself, maybe they are exhausted after all the activities they do all day.

But in his dream, Rudy was somehow in the middle of the stone pillars. It was unmistakable that this was the Ruins Site he was visiting right now.

Rudy who was still confused about his current dream, wondered in his mind.

Is this a reality?

Because at this time he feels still conscious and can think in his dream.

Then he tried to move his hand. His hand responded as usual. All of his other limbs were also still able to respond as usual. But how could he who was sleeping in the tent, now have been in the middle of the Ruins Site.

"This is weird? Why am I here when I was sleeping in a tent, right?"(Rudy)

Rudy continued to wonder in his mind, he intended to rush out of this area of ruins. He no longer paid attention to the circumstances around, because at this time he was a little panicked by the circumstances he was experiencing.

Rudy rushed away from the stone pillars, but his panic had become a reality!

Which when he wanted to get out of the area of the site, he was held back by an invisible barrier that enveloped this area.

Rudy tried to calm himself down and turned back towards the Site, and only now did he realize that there was a Metaphysical Being that he had been wary of all this time!

The figure is standing in front of the cube-shaped stone in the middle of the Site. The metaphysical creature stood facing the direction where Rudy was at the moment.

Rudy who felt that there was no choice but to get close, ventured to approach him. Rudy was curious about what kind of situation he was going through right now.

Then Rudy stepped straight towards the figure and continued to approach slowly, but then Rudy slightly squinted his eyes because the figure now only stood a few steps away in front of him, it looks like an LED light that emits white light, so it is dazzling!

Then...

"Excuse me, Who is this Great Lord?"(Rudy)

Rudy asked the figure in the most polite language he knew.

"I am but the guardian of this thing."((No Name)

The figure also answered Rudy's question as if, as he pointed towards the cube-shaped stone behind him.

"Sorry sir, I mean who is the Master's Name? Can I know that?"((Rudy)

Rudy asked again while slightly glancing at the stone behind the figure.

"I'm ILDRAIZ the God assigned to guard this piece of Mana cube."((Lord Ildaraiz)

The figure who turns out to be a God, answers Rudy's question and tells him his name and duties here.

Hearing the name and who the figure was, it obviously made Rudy shocked and he immediately muttered wildly in his mind.

"How can this figure be a God? My wildest estimate of this figure is the Angel. Because honestly I don't believe in Gods. The word God only comes from Mythology that exists in this world, right?"(rudy's Mumbles)

Rudy himself did not believe in Gods.

Well, this refers to the beliefs he holds today.

"Oh, the Angel is also another name for a creature like me?"(God Ildraiz)

The god Ildraiz answered the question that only Rudy had thought of in his mind.

Clearly this made Rudy startled, so he stepped back a little!

"How can you read my mind?"(Rudy)

Rudy asked because he felt strange, why this figure who called himself a God could read his mind.

"Between you speak for yourself in your mind or speak directly to me, it makes no difference. Because what is here now is just your psychic form. Or we can mean, right now you are just a form of consciousness."((God Ildraiz)

Bang out!

Like being struck by lightning, Rudy also realized about all the strange things that were happening to him at this time.

It makes sense how he who should be asleep in the tent could be here right now.

It also makes sense why he was unable to cross the barrier here.

"So you mean, what's here right now is just my spirit?"(Rudy)

Rudy asked again and tried to convince himself.

"Your current form is not the Spirit that resides in your human body. What I'm calling here is just a form of your consciousness. I have no authority to extract the Human Spirit from his body."(God Ildraiz)

The god Ildraiz again explained.

"What do you mean, sir?"(Rudy)

But Rudy again asked because he did not understand about the things described by God Ildariz.

"The "conscious form (psychic form) is simply the mind form of your Spirit. Alright, I will explain in a way that you can understand . . . If in human physical form the form of the mind is also a physical form, and it is what you call the Brain? Well, for the form of the Spirit in humans, the mind we call the form of consciousness or often called also the Psychic Form. So right now let's just say you're dreaming, but still in a conscious state?"(God Ildraiz)

"Yes my Master understands."(Rudy)

After listening to the explanation just now, Rudy finally understood about his current state.

So it is natural that before he was unable to break through the barrier of this area, whereas Rudy was very confident that his Spirit energy was stronger than the barrier on this Site.

The god Ildraiz continued his explanation to Rudy.

"Just like me now. The one in front of you right now is just a fragment of My Psychic Being, while My Main Spirit Form is elsewhere now. Since I am the one assigned to guard the Manacube not just one, I am breaking up my psychic form and placing it in all the places where this Manacube is located"(God Ildraiz)

Well, since God Ildraiz is also a Metaphysical Being. He only has a form of the Spirit.bDan who is here now, only one fragment of his form of consciousness.

(His name is also a God, so He can break down consciousness like that)

"Now I will lead you to show you a little truth of this world. Just follow it and see there's no need to ask because I'll explain all the things I can explain to you."((God Ildraiz)

"Yes Mr"(Rudy)

Rudy answered and nodded his head a sign he understood.

Then...

Without touching a single bit, in an instant the God Ildraiz had brought Rudy flying towards the sky. Together with the God Ildraiz, Rudy was currently at an unknown height. They continued to rise at a very fast speed! And keep on shooting up into the sky.

But since Rudy was now just a psychic form, he was completely unaffected even though they were currently sliding at the speed of light.

As well as his current vision, he was able to see far beyond the capabilities of the telescopes he used to observe the sky.

After a while, the two of them stopped. They were floating at a very high altitude, exceeding all the estimates of anyone in the world.

At this moment all Rudy could see around him was endless darkness.

But there were points of light that seemed to be stars.

Then he looked up too.

What he saw remained the same endless darkness adorned by the stars.

Actually, at this time Rudy is looking for where the existence of the Sun and Moon.

"I should be in the sky, but where are the Sun and Moon?"

Rudy unintentionally muttered in his mind.

But Rudy only observed the area around and above, he had not seen the area below him at this time. Because Rudy thought, if he is currently above the sky of the world, then he can see the Sun and Moon more closely from here. But what's really happening now is, Rudy has been at a much higher altitude than his wildest estimate.

"Would you look down?"(God Ildraiz)

Seeing Rudy's confusion, the God Ildraiz spoke to him while pointing downwards.

Later then...

Rudy also looked down at the order of Lord Ildraiz. Rudy was just surprised and watched all these things in silence!

The god Ildraiz again explained.

"We are at the highest point in the world right now. Down there is the world where you all live, and right above us is the first layer of the sky itself"(God Ildraiz)

Hearing this explanation, Rudy who was looking down, looked up again.

But what he saw remained the same as before, Only endless darkness was adorned by the stars.

"Do you now understand that the world you live in today is only a cage in the vastness of the world itself. There is a wall in the form of the Ice Mountains tens of thousands of meters high that surrounds your world today. That Ice Mountain has separated your current world from the world itself. The Ice Mountains stretch thousands of kilometers wide so that the air in the area of thousands of kilometers is frozen, and form a wall of air with very cold temperatures soaring up to the sky above it. That is why this part of your world has become completely separated from the other side of the world itself."((God Ildraiz)

The figure of the God continues to explain about the world to Rudy and Rudy just listen without saying anything.

But Rudy continued to process information from what God Ildraiz explained, as well as from what he saw himself at this point.

"The world in which you live today is only the middle part of the real great world"(Lord Ildraiz)

"A long time ago, the world you lived in was not as separate as it is now. But about 30,000 years ago, the humans and all the metaphysical beings who lived with them, prayed to the heavens to make a place for them to take refuge"(God Ildraiz)

"Color at that time Man was a weak creature? At that time this big world was filled with wild animals from small to very large. They called it Mana Beasts and there were also ferocious metaphysical beings that they called Demons. In those days ManaBeast and Demon dominated almost all corners of this great world! They were scattered across land, forests, oceans, and also flying in the sky filled the whole world."((God Ildraiz)

"Different from the metaphysical beings in your world today, the metaphysical beings in the great world have a solid form of energy like a physical form. Because in the great world it is rich in an aura of energy that was once called Mana."(God Ildraiz)

"While, since your world is now isolated from the great world, then the Mana in your world is over. That was because the Mana Aura continued to be consumed in the absence of any source to resupply it. Because of the lack of Mana source, the metaphysical beings in your world today are unable to form their solid state."((God Ildraiz)

"Where itself flows like air that continues to flow and adjust to the consumption needs required by the world itself. That Mana Source flowed like air from the outskirts of the world which was a region of endless darkness just like the night sky."((God Ildraiz)

The figure of the God Ildraiz also describes the source of the energy aura they once called Mana.

Then, He went on to explain the human condition at that time.

"Which because of the existence of Mana Beasts and Demons, makes the humans and the class of metaphysical beings who coexist with them at that time live in fear every day! Even though they all still put up a fight, but in the end they continued to be pushed towards the middle of the big world at that time. Then they prayed for help to the sky continuously without ever getting tired"(God Ildraiz)

"At that time humanity and the metaphysical classes that lived with them, had been pushed to the middle area of the great world, and did not know which way they should move. Then the miracle happened! The Super High Ice Mountain Range appeared around the central region of the great world. The Ice Mountains formed a natural protective wall that became a safe haven for all of them at that time."((God Ildraiz)

And so the figure of God Ildraiz continues to continue his explanation of how this world really is and about what happened in ancient times.

"After the Ice Mountain Range appeared, only then could humans and all metaphysical beings live with a little tranquility. But after some time had passed, they again prayed and asked the heavens"(God Ildraiz)

"There are still groups of humans and other creatures left outside the ice wall, finally one of our groups who are gods was ordered to come down to the world! We were assigned to make a tunnel with rocks from which they were compacted, through the ice mountains to the other side opposite them. Because the stone itself is made from Mana, the situation in the tunnel will not be affected by the cold from the ice mountains. And the tunnel was also a pathway to drain the Mana Aura to the central side of the world at that time."((God Ildraiz)

"The "stone from which it is made is called Manacube. And I myself was assigned to guard the remaining Manacube from the construction of the previous tunnel"(God Ildraiz)

"Evacuation processes continued until 10,000 years ago. That was because the Demon nation had known of the existence of the tunnel. Then with the rest of the Manacube in place, the humans and metaphysical beings in the central area closed the tunnel."(God Ildraiz)

The explanation continued and Rudy was still focused on listening.
