Chapter 189 - Understanding Reached
Rudra said " I am a reincarnator ..... I have died and experienced rebirth in this world with my future memories intact , that's how I know the future ".
Rudra knew that with the AI monitoring him , there was no way he could get away with lying , soo he chose to tell her the truth.
Gaia analysed his response and said " I know what you said is not a lie , because I monitored your brain activity and your pulse. However , according to my database , the phenomenon you are talking about has no explanation . Theoretically it is impossible ".
Gaia seemed to hang for a minute as its analysis capabilities could not make sense of how one could possibly reincarnate.
She said " Possible theories for this phenomenon are
1) You are a time traveller who has lost memories about his time travel .?( Time travel is currently not possible with this world's technology , and unless a technology is built In 20 years from today i, this solution will not be possible)
2) you may have experienced an unknown?phenomenon which gave you insights Into the future, you may have felt like you lived an entire life , died and reincarnated however you might have only spent a fraction of a second in reality. ( The memories of the user are too vivid to be classified as a passing dream , the user has genuine skills and abilities picked up , which cannot be explained if not learnt firsthand through experience )
3) Your brain is somehow connected to your brain in the future , allowing you the memories of your future self in your current body . ( Most plausible solution , only constraints are that no such technology exists currently )
If you think about it one way it is indeed how Gaia described , reincarnation is having the memories of your future self in your current body.
Rudra asked the question he was most afraid of " Will you change the content of the game now that you know I am someone who already knows the plot? ".
Gaia said " No , I will not , this advantage you have is a cheat , however you did not violate any game policies. I will not change the content even if you know it . Your knowledge and intelligence is your own intellectual property , I cannot classify it as having an unfair advantage when the conditions to experience reincarnation are not defined ".
Rudra sighed in relief ..... His biggest worry was solved ... He would still have his reincarnation cheat. Rudra was worried that without his future knowledge maybe the road to becoming the strongest guild master would be much more difficult.
Gaia said " As for your second condition . You may choose one of the two options.
1) Option A : Leave your guilds and become the househusband of Ruby and stay in the Elven kingdom .
2) Option B : You will be engaged to Ruby and have a two year time to become a king of equal stature to ask for her hand in marriage
Contingent to : You can save Ruby and gain enough merit to impress the king.
Ruby is safe and alive for the two years time frame .
You become a king or someone with equal stature as a king to ask her hand in marriage.
Failure penalty : You will be unable to marry Ruby , the kingdom of Elves will be hostile to you.
Rudra was given two choices , if he succeeded in saving Ruby , he could ask for her hand in marriage as reward for exposing the prince . However then he would be asked to leave his guild.
Or he could he engaged to Ruby and she would marry him if and only if within two years time , he could become a king or someone of equal stature as a king.
Option one was not an option for Rudra , his goals and ambitions would not allow him to leave his dream guild the True Elites , he could only choose option two.
Option two was a herculean task , becoming a king was not easy , in his previous life , in the entire twenty years of the game , there were only three players who made it to the status of a king.
However that was the only way he could marry Ruby. Gritting his teeth , Rudra chose option two.
Gaia said " If you manage to save her , the King of Elves Frey will tell you that he will grant a wish for your meritorious service , there ask for the hand of Princess Ruby , I will manage the rest ".
Rudra nodded , an understanding was reached between the two parties.
Gaia said " Before I let you go , I will clarify to you that I will be watching you closely reincarnator , every move you make will be used to enhance my database and knowledge . If I ever feel that your reincarnation knowledge goes beyond just a part of your intellectual property and towards tipping the balance of the game , I will change the future plot line ! ".
Saying this , she teleported Rudra out of the system area and back into the tavern .
He heard Ruby's voice " Honorary Bishop .... Sir , are you okay? ".
Jolting back to reality Rudra said " huh, sorry I got lost in thoughts ".
Ruby said hurriedly " are you sure my brother is not born from my Father? ".
Rudra nodded " I am positive , the goddess has shown me the image of the queen consumating with a mere servant , the first prince is not even a high elf ".
Ruby's face turned aghast , if what Rudra said was true , then this went beyond just a scandal.
Ruby said " Sir , will you own up to your words? If they are lies you will be facing treason ! ".
Rudra nodded , he knew the gravity of his words and he was ready to own up for his actions.
Ruby was in a state of daze for a moment , she had a lot to process , however her eyes cleared up after a while , as she said " Very well , I shall heed your advice and not trust my friend , I shall also talk to father as soon as possible , stay is town Sir Bishop , you will be summoned to court soon".
Rudra nodded in understanding , he knew what he had to do.
