Legend of the Devil Fox
15

Is he saying this is an actual planet somewhere in the universe? I kept reading, hoping those words could explain my confusion.

"This place was discovered because of my mother and her power: the manipulation of cyberspace. Thirty years ago, when my mother was still active as a hacker, her powers were analyzed. The result became the basis of the first brain-computer interface VR system."

"A certain company in the defense industry recruits him. During work he accidentally discovers a cryptic distraction in the virtual world. Further investigation and analysis revealed a world completely separate from Earth."

"But the world is too far away. Using the latest technology of the time, Digistruction, they sent out reconnaissance drones that could create their own power source. It turns out that the planetary system belonging to this new world does not correlate with any record on Earth. Yggdrasia is an Earth-like prlanet, but its atmosphere is different and more importantly, unsuitable for Earth humans."

"Regardless of that, the research continues. The corporation has officially received the government's blessing to continue the survey. They discover that this world is surprisingly similar to Earth in culture, and that the level of native human civilization is equivalent to that of the Middle Ages on Earth. The similarities have received great attention from politicians. In the end, they came to a conclusion: a form of energy that has created a dimensional disturbance as well, in the past, caused some sort of information to travel both ways between the Earth and the new world. The natives of the new world called that energy 'Mana'."

"The world is sustained by the infinite mana created from the World Tree and its saplings are young trees scattered throughout the world. Compared to other races in the new world, the 'humans' there were relatively weak, but could quickly increase their population. They have established a state, like parasites that come out of Trees and saplings. Yet despite their achievements, they only used mana as fuel for a special ability that they called Magic."

"Corporation wants to explore the possibility of using mana as a normal energy source. They, and their governments, believe that drone surveys are not enough. After deciphering the original language, they pretended to be God to the kings of the larger countries, complete with knowledge and technology."

"False gods gained faith with agricultural reforms, simple yet convenient technology for the masses, and other improvements. With that belief now reinforced, God told people to research about where, and to create a technological foundation for using mana for power tools."

"This research was successful, and the first application in the development of magitech tools that play a role similar to electrical equipment. With the transfer of technology, in just ten years, magitech trains and airships were born. Before Earth's intervention, the human population in Yggdrasia was several hundred million. With access to barriers and powerful magical weapons, within ten years, that number quickly swelled."

"The original fauna in Yggdrasia could kill other life forms to absorb magic and life force from their victims, and turn them into their own power. And No. 17, which is found in Tibet, has a similar ability. With the results of analyzing the subsidiary genomes, the company established a method to collect mana by making remotely controlled drones kill other living things."

"Does that mean when I defeat an enemy and enhance my magic, a portion of it is sent to Earth? And maybe the death penalty that cut my magic in half is also for this purpose."

"From observing the new world, they understood that it was possible to send 'waves', like radio signals, through dimensional distortion. From the fact that mana leaks slightly to Earth, they hypothesize that mana is a waveform that envelops the atmosphere. Based on that theory, they managed to create a system to send the mana that the drones collected to Earth."

"At that time, there was no way to make a drone so powerful. However, the problem is solved once they find No. 08."

"His strength is to realize 'Materialisation'. Combining it with other previously analyzed forces – the power to convert materials from the environment or from the atmosphere into amino acids and other biological materials – the company is no longer limited to robot drones. They can now create a human form, so similar that it is indistinguishable from a real human."

"The avatar VR system was introduced on Earth at that time. Higher realism comes with its own problems, such as mental instability. In order to investigate the matter further, and at the same time see the boundless energy opportunities in which form, the opportunities that appeared after sending a human avatar to a new world became possible, he said, the government invests large amounts of money into the company and tells them to develop a system for harvesting where large scale.

Which resulted in this game, World of Yggdrasia."

It turns out that only the beta test already has five million applicants. If the same number of people bought the game when it was officially released, the company would basically get five million soldiers and their money as well.
