Kabbalah is a mystical philosophy of Judaism. According to the theory of this mystical school, the universe is divided into four parts. According to Aiwass, the world where Magic-Banishing is located follows this theory, while the world Roy is currently in, before his transmigration, is called the real world, which exists outside this theory.
Why does this real world have novels, anime, comics and other content about other worlds? Are the other worlds real? And questions like why he crossed over almost made Roy gasp for breath.
He shook his head and looked at Aiwass, "... Forget it, these are not the questions I should be considering now. Aiwass, can you still use your abilities in this world?"
Aiwass, who was curiously observing this world, paused for a moment before speaking, "... My power is greatly restricted and weakened in this world."
At this time, Roy realized that Aiwass' voice was no longer like it was in the Magic-Banishing world, as if separated by a veil. Her voice became clearer, more feminine. This made Roy suspect that the peculiarity of this real world had greatly narrowed the gap between Aiwass and his own position, making it easier for Roy to understand her words.
Roy frowned. He took a pen and paper and drew some magical patterns and mystical symbols on it. In the Magic-Banishing world, although he was a third-rate magician, he still understood some basic magic.
"Magic can still be applied, but as you said, Aiwass, the power of magic is greatly suppressed in this world, but some basic suggestive magic is no problem. As long as there are no other supernatural forces in this world, if I'm willing, suggestive ability alone would be enough to stand at the top of this world."
Roy shrugged, his expression not showing much excitement or excitement. Compared to the grand and colorful 'secondary dimension' world, this real world was simply too boring.
Unlike Aiwass, the 'Secret Leader', who was curious about the unknown and the world she didn't understand, Roy didn't have the qualifications to explore the secrets of this real world at this time.
It's like playing a game. If Aiwass is a level-capped character, she is exploring more unknowns and gaining more knowledge to break her level cap, then Roy is now a level one character. Now he needs to figure out how to level up to the maximum level instead of exploring the world after reaching the maximum level.
"It's just that my gaming life is a little different. In RPG games, the protagonists all level up slowly and then face the final boss. I saw the final boss right away, and then I was killed by the final boss... The creator of this game is even more excessive than Miyazaki Hidetaka."
Roy laughed at himself. He closed his eyes and began to recall how he had transmigrated.
He had lived in the world of Magic-Banishing for more than ten years. Before that, as an ordinary person, he did not have the ability of 'absolute memory'. It was really difficult to recall what happened more than ten years ago.
"I remember that on the night I transmigrated, I saw a strange spell. At the time, I was curious and memorized it. Then I went to bed... I woke up in another world later... No, that night, I had a dream. I accidentally recited the spell in my dream."
As soon as Roy thought of the spell, the contents of the spell flashed through his soul in an instant. The spell was written in simple Chinese, but strangely, Roy couldn't understand it at all. He recognized each word, but when these words were linked together, they became incomprehensible.
He opened his mouth and silently recited it. Aiwass, who was beside him, noticed that something was wrong with Roy and stared at him intently. As Roy uttered the last word, Aiwass' expression finally changed. She let out a soft "huh" and her body, made of light, disappeared from the bedroom with Roy.
...
Roy only felt his eyes go black for a moment, and then he found himself in an unknown world.
It looked like an endless wilderness. Roy was standing in the middle of this wilderness. Not far ahead, there was a staircase leading to the sky. The sky above was very low, only about a hundred meters high.
The sky was a chaotic white mist, as if it contained endless mysteries. But under Roy's feet, there seemed to be a huge piece of transparent glass. Under the 'glass' was a vast universe!
That starry sky was like a colorful oil painting, filled with countless colors. When Roy looked at that universe, he knew that it was the world of 'Magic-Banishing' where he was before. If he wanted, he could go back to that starry sky at any time.
"I remember that I came to this world in my dream. At that time, it was still a white mist. I thought I was having a lucid dream and tried my best to imagine going to the secondary dimension world, and then I was reborn into Magic-Banishing... "
Many people should have this experience, that is, sometimes when they are dreaming, they suddenly become aware and know they are dreaming. At that time, as long as they rely on their imagination, they can control their dreams to a certain extent. That's what Roy did back then.
But he didn't expect that his 'dream' would become reality.
"Aiwass, do you know anything about this place?"
Roy turned and looked at the 'Holy Guardian Angel' behind him. Aiwass seemed to be stunned at this time. She just stared at this strange place in a daze.
After a long time, she came to her senses and said, "... I'm sorry, Roy, everything here is beyond the scope of my knowledge. The reason I can appear here is because of your existence. It allowed me to materialize in my current form."
"Since even you don't understand this place, I'll stop trying to get to the bottom of it for now... I can feel that I can go back to the 'Magic-Banishing' world anytime, but if I go back now, I'll be alone and can't change anything. I'd better explore this strange place first."
Roy lowered his head and looked at the universe that looked like an oil painting under his feet. Then he started walking forward, "... I clearly remember that in my dream, this staircase used to be closed. Now there's a door on it."
He stepped onto the staircase with interest, slowly walking towards the top of the hundred-meter-high staircase. Aiwass floated behind him, following closely.
"Aiwass, I suddenly thought, since this place can actually travel to different worlds, what if I go back to the real world and force those authors to change the content of their works? What do you think?"
Roy had a whimsical idea and said to Aiwass.
"It's pointless. The world is a complex whole, made up of infinite variables. It follows the most basic logic. A world with too many logical contradictions will only put you in danger... Besides, do those worlds in 'books' really exist? It's best not to reverse this cause and effect. My existence is the most powerful proof. I can appear in what you call the 'real world', which means that I really exist, not a passage in a book."
"... In other words, because the world exists first, its information is transmitted here through some way we don't understand, and it becomes stories in books. This is not an incredible thing. Magic Gods can do this. They can seal stories in a book. You can't deny that the world in that book is fake. This mysterious space we are in now may have been built by something even more powerful than a Magic God."
Aiwass almost used a teaching tone to explain to Roy. As the 'Holy Guardian Angel' said, she was no longer willing to be Roy's observer, but was willing to help him.
"I've been enlightened."
Roy nodded in agreement. He did not take Aiwass' words lightly, but took them to heart.
"You can treat the content recorded in those books as 'prophecies', but don't believe them too much. In the human world, there is a theory of 'butterfly effect'. This applies to fate as well. The more you know, the more you will be bound by fate. Only the unknown can create more possibilities."
At this time, Roy and Aiwass had reached the last step of the staircase. Only one step forward, they would cross the white mist sky and go to the other side of the door.
Roy stopped. He turned to look at Aiwass, and said with understanding, "... What I need to know is 'only the necessary part of the necessary knowledge'. That is to say, I only need to know the outline of a story and the important characters, but never actively seek it out. Is that right?"
Roy understood what Aiwass meant. Just like in the world of Magic-Banishing, Roy knew that it was the world of Magic-Banishing, he knew some of the main characters, but he only had vague memories of the specific story. Even because Roy didn't read all the books, he didn't know anything about future developments.
Aiwass was telling Roy not to actively read the future developments of story books, because knowing the future would make him unable to change his fate.
"That's what I'm trying to say."
"I see. Aiwass, you are also bound by fate, so you are seeking the unknown to break the web of fate."
Roy chuckled.
He knew that there must be a purpose for Aiwass to help him like this, but no matter what Aiwass' purpose was, as long as it didn't endanger his life, Roy didn't care. Just like this time facing Aleister, if it wasn't for Aiwass' help, he would probably have been mistaken for death by Aleister.
Roy's thirty-plus years of life in two lifetimes could only be described as ordinary. Compared to Aiwass' knowledge and life experience, he was completely a kid. Having such an existence to help him would only be beneficial to him.
Without hesitation, he crossed the last step of the staircase and came to the second level of this mysterious space. Just like what he saw in his dream, the second level was also completely shrouded in white mist. He could still see a new staircase going upwards, but the sky there was temporarily blocked.
"There are still spaces to go up, how many levels are there in this world?"
Roy looked at the white chaotic world around him and asked casually.
Aiwass didn't answer him, because she didn't understand this place either.
Roy didn't expect Aiwass to answer him. He thought for a moment and said, "... I don't know how many levels these ladders have, and I don't know where they lead. To have a sense of it, let's call it 'The Ladder to Heaven'."
The last time Roy came to this world was in a hazy dream, but this time he came consciously. When he stepped into the second level of this mysterious space, he knew how to apply it.
It's like a wish machine, but it doesn't fulfill your wish directly, it just gives you a chance to achieve it.
Roy pondered for a moment and slowly said, "... Take me to a world where I can quickly become stronger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white chaotic mist in this space, like clouds, suddenly contracted like a hurricane.
Roy disappeared in the pure white.
