Chapter 102: Celebration Time (4) – Dialogue on the Grimoire and Descent, Recommendation

* Celebration Time First Morning

– Han Kain

– Dialogue on the Grimoire

An additional phenomenon when utilizing the Grimoire was the disappearance of the system window and the addition of a timer.

“Initially,” Ahri stated. “There’s a crucial purpose that made me come to this speculation. You stated you gained ‘everlasting life’ by means of the Grimoire, proper? If there was no restriction, what you obtained would have been like hacking the Resort’s system. It’s completely different from what the Apostle went by means of. He needed to keep throughout the space of the Mansion of Worry to revive his god and needed to take a course of set actions to realize his objective. Due to his objective, there have been limitations on his motion and actions, which allowed us to find him.

“However you, nevertheless, don’t have any of that. In case you steal an NPC’s physique as quickly as we enter a room and run away endlessly to another elements of the world, how would the Enemy probably be capable to kill you not to mention discover you?

“This is sort of a ‘cheat escape methodology’, which the Resort positively wouldn’t enable. There should be a restriction put in place to cease that, and I got here to this speculation after listening to your clarification.”

It was, I suppose, to be anticipated of a 2nd timer of the Resort.

I, the one who obtained the Inheritance, wasn’t even eager about that however Ahri appeared to have reached that line of thought in a flash.

With out restrictions, the Energy of Possession was principally the identical as a assured escape.

If I had been to steal the our bodies of NPCs endlessly and escape to a distant a part of the world, how would the Enemy probably discover me!?

Ahri continued her clarification.

“This might get a bit complicated so hear rigorously. What do you assume determines the id of an individual? In keeping with Descartes, who stated primarily based on a dualism of the thoughts and the physique, human beings wanted a union of the physique and thoughts to exist. After all, based on trendy science, that’s a mistaken idea. The thoughts is a creation of the mind, and the mind is a bodily organ. Scientifically talking, there is no such thing as a differentiation between the thoughts and the physique. Monism is the proper one by way of science. What do you assume?”

She instantly threw a query in the course of that troublesome philosophical monologue. Technically, I might use the ability of the Grimoire to steal the physique of one other existence.

In different phrases, my thoughts was separate from my physique.

“My physique is separate from my thoughts, so borrowing your phrases, wouldn’t I be nearer to dualism?”

“However does that make sense?” she requested once more.

“I don’t know what you imply.”

“Earlier than acquiring the Grimoire, your sense of self was the results of digital alerts made by your mind, and your existence was primarily based on monism. So did you grow to be a dualist existence after buying the Grimoire, the place you don’t need to depend on the mind anymore to assume?”

“Are you able to simply leap straight to the purpose please?” I requested.

“Positive. If you’re utilizing the Grimoire to own somebody, you may be described in two elements; one being the bodily physique the place your consciousness is left from, and your consciousness that’s taking on one other physique. Naturally, you’ll assume the ‘Actual Han Kain’ is within the physique of one other individual, and that your bodily physique is only a shell left behind. However…

“…is that actually how it’s? Regardless that your physique continues to be there? Regardless that your mind, which had shaped your sense of self till now, continues to be left behind in that physique? If you concentrate on it from one other standpoint, you may say the ‘Actual Han Kain’ is definitely the physique left behind. Your consciousness that’s inside one other individual’s physique is sort of a ‘ghost’ that the Grimoire made by replicating your actual thoughts.”

I used to be beginning to perceive what she meant, however there was a query that needed to be answered in that case.

“However once I’m possessing somebody, the physique left behind can’t take into consideration something.”

“How have you learnt that?” she requested.

For a second, I used to be misplaced for phrases.

“The Actual Han Kain could possibly be eager about one thing – it’d simply be that the physique is unable to maneuver. And perhaps the consciousness left behind within the physique is simply ‘changed’ by the consciousness, that was possessing another person when it will get again.”

…That was a scary speculation.

“After all, remember that that is simply my speculation. Let’s return to the query at hand. Why does the system window disappear when you’re in another person’s physique, and what’s the timer for? That is my interpretation of it. If you’re in another person’s physique, the Resort doesn’t take into account you because the ‘Actual Han Kain.’ And that’s the reason you naturally can’t use the system window.

In that sense, the timer additionally means the identical factor. It could possibly be denoting the time it takes earlier than ‘you might be thought of lifeless’.”

“Thought of lifeless…”

“If the Resort deemed you because the Pretend Han Kain the second you possessed somebody, you would say the Actual Han Kain dies the second you utilize possession. However with requirements like that, it’s unattainable so that you can even make use of the Grimoire, and that is perhaps why they gave you an hour. If you move that point, perhaps they take into account the Actual Han Kain to be lifeless, and that the ‘Han Kain who’s possessing another person’ is only a faux copy of the unique.”

It was a protracted clarification however it was a easy story.

The Resort didn’t take into account me to be the true one when possessing another person.

That was why I couldn’t use the system window, and Ahri’s speculation was that they might take into account the “Actual Han Kain” to be lifeless if I didn’t return to my physique for an hour.

In keeping with that, it might be unattainable to make use of methods like utilizing another person’s physique on repeat to flee from a Cursed Room.

– Dialogue on Descent

“Let me additionally discuss just a little bit about your Descent as a result of it’s essentially associated to your ‘sense of self’ as properly. Who precisely is the Son of Heaven? Is it a very completely different existence to you?

If that was the case, the Resort would have deemed you lifeless the second you used Descent, and wouldn’t have given you the Inheritance both. Nonetheless, the Resort nonetheless noticed you because the ‘Participant Han Kain’. You didn’t have a timer and also you additionally obtained the Inheritance.”

“Is it as a result of the physique was the identical?”

“Could possibly be, however you may be topic to extra sophisticated requirements. The purpose I’m attempting to make is that you just shouldn’t attempt to differentiate your self an excessive amount of from who you might be after utilizing ‘Descent’. That is what I felt once I was listening to your clarification – you talked about that you considered the method of infancy to maturity the second you used Descent, and had been anticipating your self to be completely different after the method. That thought in itself might need been the reason for that massive discrepancy. Subsequent time you utilize it, attempt to have a unique mindset. Possibly inform your self, ‘I’m me!’ or one thing.”

There was one thing I discovered odd when listening to her clarification.

Ahri and Grandpa Mooksung had been brokers of the Administration. Weren’t they a gaggle that rejected supernatural powers that would serve to be a menace to mankind?

The Son of Heaven not solely had an excessive sense of ego and conceitedness, however he had additionally massacred numerous harmless civilians.

The usability of Wealth is drastically low.

It isn’t very useful for the person or the group.

It was one thing I considered earlier than as properly, and it appeared to have weighed on her thoughts rather a lot.

Sage’s Recommendation: 3 → 2

Ask questions on Wealth to your sponsor at present.

I conveyed the recommendation to her.

“Ahh! That is so irritating! It’s so exhausting to utilize my blessing that I can’t even see my sponsor! That’s why I’m asking!”

“Hmm, Eunsol-noona,” I stated, “I don’t assume this reply is as dangerous as you assume.”

“What do you imply?”

“As for why it could actually’t provide you with a direct response, I’m assuming it’s associated to ‘rights’. As a result of blessings are given instantly by the sponsors, perhaps it’s a jurisdiction factor that they will’t intrude with. Or perhaps they thought utilizing a blessing to seek out out extra a couple of blessing is like dishonest. That could possibly be why they blocked it. However from my expertise to date with utilizing the Recommendation, I spotted that it says in a barely roundabout approach at any time when it’s a ‘query that it could actually’t instantly reply to’.”

Eunsol-noona instantly realized what I meant.

“Wait, so when it says ‘ask your sponsor at present’! Do you imply I can meet my sponsor this time?”

“That’s what I feel. There could be no purpose to hassle utilizing the expression, ‘at present’ in there until you may meet the sponsor on the Sanctum at present.”

She was hopping round in pleasure whereas I rubbed out all of the questions on blessings from the record. It was most likely not a good suggestion to ask direct questions on blessings.

Second query.

This time, I requested certainly one of my very own questions.

I can not perceive the Energy of Incarnation within the slightest. I would like some recommendation.

I used to be skeptical regardless of asking that myself. This was, in any case, a typical instance of a query concerning “one thing I used to be clueless about”.

Nonetheless, it was exhausting to make use of the Recommendation for private queries like this outdoors of Celebration Time.

For the reason that Recommendation and Life Warnings shared the identical restrict, I needed to save my recommendation for “warnings” at any time when we had been going into Cursed Rooms.

I hoped it might return an honest reply on the very least.

Sage’s Recommendation: 2 → 1

Do you even perceive Possession?

…What?

It was extra complicated than something I used to be anticipating. I advised everybody each the query and the reply.

Unexpectedly, it was Songee who interpreted this recommendation.

“Ah! I feel I get it. I feel this implies, ‘It’s regular to not perceive how an Inheritance works’. For instance, despite the fact that I’m utilizing the Bracelet, I don’t know in regards to the ideas behind the way it works. It’s like a TV distant controller. I don’t know something in regards to the science behind distant controllers, however I do know I can press buttons to function the TV. That’s how I’m utilizing the Bracelet. It could most likely be the identical for Kain-oppa. Your skill to make use of Possession doesn’t stem from an entire understanding of it both, proper? We simply know methods to use it. So I feel the reply is saying that it’s regular not to have the ability to perceive the Energy of Incarnation as properly.”

“It is smart that I can’t perceive it, however so how am I supposed to make use of it then?”

“I feel time will remedy that. I can even do extra issues now with the Bracelet than how I used to be in the beginning.”

Ultimately, the conclusion was that I had to make use of the Grimoire for an extended time frame earlier than eager about the following part.

Third query.

I discovered a vital query written by Eunsol-noona.

Is it doable to flee with a parachute?

“Noona? This…”

“It’s simply one thing that hit me just a few days in the past. The HP Market sells blankets and durable ropes, which we are able to use to make one thing just like a parachute. Would we be capable to escape by means of the entrance entrance utilizing that?”

I turned to Ahri, the 2nd timer of the Resort.

She tilted her head earlier than giving me a shake, signaling that she wasn’t certain both.

I used the Sage’s Recommendation.

Recommendation: 1 → 0

Strive it if you happen to don’t worth your life.

“…”

What did it imply this time?

Did the owl have an sickness or one thing the place it needed to beat across the /genesisforsaken
