As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

Even if... the entire world is an illusion, all life is but a fleeting bubble, and everything is absurd and nonsensical, I will never succumb to my fate. On the day all things end, I believe we will meet again in a new future...

……

The Savior System is at your service.

Kagura Tendou opened his eyes, touching his slightly aching forehead, and stared ahead with a cold expression.

"You brat, you dare to doze off in my class!" Hiratsuka Shizuka stood on the podium, puffing out her cheeks and glaring.

The Heavenly Music paused slightly, and he subconsciously glanced to the side.

"Don't look at me, I called you..." The girl next to me, Miko Yotsuya, with black hair and golden eyes, muttered softly, her face slightly flushed.

It's not her fault; it's just that Kagura was sleeping too soundly.

Yotsuya Miko frowned slightly, pressing her slender white fingers against her temples. She hadn't been sleeping well lately and had had some terrible dreams.

What king... Sequence 4... this world is a dream or something...

'What...what's going on? I remember I was in the middle of a battle with an Outer God...'

Yotsuya Miko was stunned. Upon hearing these words, she looked at Tendo Kagura with a strange expression. She saw Tendo Kagura deep in thought. Although she didn't see him move his lips, she did hear these words. The voice was very familiar.

"Oh no, what am I going to do? My childhood friend has developed chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) in high school!"

Survival itself is the most powerful resistance against absurdity: Side Story 1

The prophet, draped in a gray robe resembling a conical hat, walked through the dark tunnel, while the lantern in his hand emitted a golden light.

The light was faint, illuminating only four or five meters around it and dispelling the chaotic fog.

This tunnel is 100 meters high, with wide stone walls on all sides. The stone walls are covered with inexplicable carvings, densely packed, resembling characters, but overall more like images. However, they are too abstract to be recognizable.

The length of the tunnel cannot be estimated, but according to the information interpreted, this place must have been a place of great civilization.

He walks here more like a tiny ant wandering into a giant's labyrinth.

But the prophet felt no fear; he walked steadily through the long, dark tunnel like a devout ascetic.

This place is the site of a boundary ruin.

The world's debris fell into the abyss and was swallowed by chaos, thus forming this extremely special place.

Everything solidifies in chaos.

Chaos and nothingness have always been forbidden territory for the people of the world, and ordinary life cannot survive there.

Even those Sequence 6 beings that have transformed and sublimated their life essence cannot survive here for long.

Because there is a possibility of encountering Outer Gods and certain mysterious beings.

In that case, even Sequence 4 wouldn't be able to escape.

The prophet once prayed to a great lord, offering all that he had in exchange for a certain power. Therefore, he can project his consciousness, descending to many worlds to seek a way to save his own.

During this time, he descended upon many worlds and encountered many Outer Gods, but because he was highly secretive, he did not attract the attention of those powerful beings, thus avoiding many dangers.

Because every time he is transported to another world, he faces madness.

Have you ever tried walking on a tightrope?

Every time was a terrifying experience.

Falling won't kill you, but something far worse than death will happen.

When rationality collapses and consciousness is lost, thinking becomes strange, and one gradually detaches oneself from one's identity as a human being.

He found an anchor in the resistance, which allowed him to remain conscious amidst endless torment.

But in the end, he failed to find a truly effective solution.

Although some powerful individuals and organizations did agree to his request, willing to descend upon his world and help him fight against the Outer Gods.

But they never showed up in the end.

The prophet believed that this was not a betrayal, but rather an unexpected incident.

Every world is an island, and communication between islands is incredibly difficult. Even if you send out thousands of messages in bottles, you might not be able to get the message to the right person.

During one of his journeys through the realms, he was captured by an unknown entity in the chaos.

It wasn't a deliberate capture, but rather something akin to a mysterious attraction.

In that vortex of madness and chaos, his own consciousness was called upon, causing him to become trapped and unable to extricate himself, only able to watch in despair as he gradually descended into madness.

Ultimately, his world was destroyed.

No miracle occurred.

……

Prophet, a special title.

It refers not to an individual, but to a group.

Just like the Spirit Master, Shadow, and Warrior systems, the Prophet himself represents a path.

The source of the prophetic path lies with the Great Lord.

That great Lord is the being embraced by all the angels of destiny and their retinue.

He is the guide of chaos, His hymns can pierce through chaos, He is the opposite of madness and chaos.

He is the great Lord of Destiny.

The prophet had made a pact with the Lord of Fate.

He wants to save his world, and whether he succeeds or not, he will have to pay a price.

Now, according to the agreement, he will become a servant of that great Lord and be loyal to Him from now on.

……

The prophet has reached the tunnel node.

He raised the lantern in his hand, and the faint light suddenly shone brightly, dispelling the chaotic mist and revealing the original appearance of the stone wall.

The chaotic carvings cover the entire stone wall, which may seem dizzying at first glance, but if you look at them for a while, you can vaguely discover the patterns and beauty in them, as if they contain a lot of information.

Only intelligent people of the world can create such a medium for transmitting information.

One stone wall can reveal dozens of murals of the same size.

According to the difficulty of interpretation, from easy to difficult, each image vividly tells the story of this world.

The inhabitants of this world call themselves the chosen people of the gods. They are devout believers, and faith permeates the entirety of their civilization.

The god they worship is the world itself.

The wonders of nature amazed them, and the movements of celestial bodies in the universe left them in awe.

Based on their analysis and understanding of the laws of the world, they developed an extremely brilliant civilization, built wonders, and reached the pinnacle of natural science.

This tunnel is their masterpiece; they completed the almost unbelievable miracle of penetrating the Earth's core.

But later, evil spirits invaded this world.

The people of the world were no match for them and retreated underground, but in the end, the world was destroyed and plunged into chaos.

However, the information contained in this tunnel has been preserved intact.

Leaving behind the most precious things before impending destruction seems to be a common trait among all intelligent life.

The prophet carefully studied the history of civilization in this world.

Ultimately, he uncovered the entire trajectory of this civilization's fate through these tunnels.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

If the remaining information is fragmented, then overly complicated interpretation will waste a lot of time.

But they have no choice but to interpret it.

For the path of prophecy, nothing is more important than the vast history book hidden behind civilization.

Different civilizations, different paths—this is also a necessity for advancement through the path of the prophets.

The complete trajectory of fate was dissected, forming a Rubik's Cube-like object that emanated profound fluctuations, as if it bore a weight equivalent to civilization.

The prophet carved the altar, where he summoned an angel of destiny.

It was a pure white figure, radiating a gentle glow, whose true form could not be seen directly.

After entrusting this destiny to the angel of fate, the prophet fell silent.

The angel of fate did not leave, but spoke gently:

"Lost lamb, what doubts do you have?"

The prophet gazed at the angel of fate and asked:

"I've started to doubt the world. Is there any point in civilization existing?"

The Angel of Fate said:

"You can find the answer to all your questions in fate. But lost sheep, remember that no answer is absolutely correct."

First, know:

"If everything is predetermined, if everything is an illusion, then is there any need to do anything superfluous?"

The Angel of Fate said:

What is destiny? What is illusion?

First, know:

"My world has fallen into chaos, and I have tried my best but I have not been able to change the outcome. If this is fate, does it mean that it was all in vain from the beginning?"

The Angel of Fate said:

“Fate cannot choose anything. Only what has happened is fate, and what has not happened is not fate. The superfluous things you mentioned are also part of fate.”

The Angel of Fate said:

“I have seen the True Lord fall into slumber, and His power spread out, transforming into many worlds. Life was conceived, born, and eventually developed into civilization within those worlds. The worlds disappeared when the True Lord awoke, and they existed again when the True Lord fell asleep. The True Lord is the father of all beings and all things. He is all-knowing and all-powerful.”
