Chapter 254 The Epics and Myths
"There are legendary achievements in this world, and achieving some of these Legendary achievements becomes a [Myth] that people usually misunderstand as a 'mythical' achievement."
In this world, myths, epics, and legends all serve distinct yet interconnected roles in shaping the world's existence and the lives that this entire world is made up of.
Myths are ancient stories explaining the creation of the world, the gods, and cosmic events, providing the foundation for religious beliefs and magical laws.
It is the highest level of 'story' that is spoken by the conscious voice of this world, the Prakriti as everyone knows it as.
The individual is the Purusha, the observer for which this entire world exists.
The deep interrelation of these two personalities, or beings gives birth to the unique and ultimately reality that we wish to achieve, the true Freedom that exists above everything else.
Epics are grand narratives that follow the heroic deeds of legendary figures, often blending myths with historical events as these heroes interact with gods, battle monsters, and alter the course of kingdoms or worlds.
"While killing a dragon is a legend, killing a king is not the same.
Both are distinct things since while both beings might possess the Divine power, a simple mortal king could not be compared to a Mythical creature that has existed for many centuries.
Epic is winning a war, killing a draconian, establishing a Heroic order, changing the course of the battle on a battlefield, or saving hundreds of thousands of people from an angry red oger."
[{( They were simple foreigners who started their journey in this world with unprecedented curiosity.
They challenged the Realness of this world, went as far as they possibly could in order to test the boundaries of this world and to test the limitations of this reality.
They even walked to the edge of this world with a curious heart, baring a smirk of superiority on their faces, carrying a mischievous yet brave heart. )}]
Legends are more unique than Epic but aren't as big a thing as a Myth, focusing on historical figures whose deeds have been exaggerated or romanticized over time, serving as moral tales or sources of inspiration. In the player 's context, they are tasks that are too unbelievable from not just an individual perspective, but from the perspective of this entire world.
"While myths deal with divine or primordial forces, epics focus on heroic mortals, and legends center around more human, though still extraordinary, figures."
That's the basic difference between the three. They are distinct, and all three of these 'phenomena' are Narrated by the voice of the world, or the First voice that we hear the moment we enter this world after the character creation.
"The people here… we have written epics of our own, some of us are even legends that have achieved a legendary feat once… but a Myth has always been a mystery to us."
Rein looked above her head, at the ceiling, trying to look beyond the ceiling and at the highest sky that was being mentioned in these words spoken by the voice of this world.
"We know we get a Legendary achievement when we achieve perfection in our classes. A Sword saint and an Archmage are the end goal of the mages and those who wield any weapon, not just a sword.
We know finishing a Main Scenario results in either an epic or a legend if the collective effort put in the process isn't as great as achievements made by a certain group of players.
When…"
Elio didn't understand why she was acting like that either but, she wasn't the only one that was looking up right now.
Including the sages, even the high rankers present there, even the Queen and the monarchs, and even Olive's dad was looking up as if whatever voice they were hearing right now, was coming from above them and not from the depths of their souls. Stay connected through empire
This was quite strange from the two of their perspectives since the two of them were the only ones who did not understand the value of this voice…
They were looking up, they were talkings they were saying things without context, and yet, to each other, they were somehow making some kind of sense.
It was like the two of them were the only ones who did not know much about these things.
[{( An adventure that started with a flower picking tutorial evolved into the journey of a couple that ventured into the deepest and darkest Territories of their realm, who ventured far and wide into the world of the beginnings, the individuals who first wrote six epics and three legends with their own hands, were now taking their final steps into the realm that the Creature had never known or predicted the existence of.
)}]
Olive understood she was listening to something very important, but the fact that all of them were listening to the same thing made it somewhat more special than it actually was.
'Everyone in the world was listening to this.'
Every individual that could use System interface to a certain extent was listening to this right now, and just that fact made it the biggest kind of promotion theoretically possible.
And, it wasn't even theoretical in this world. People actually heard a unique voice narrating personal things about individuals who had achieved something very special.
"Be it a myth or a legend or an epic. Just being talked about by the 'Voice' is an honor that all of us only rarely experience." The Queen, who had lived for a few centuries already, was just as much in awe as the rest of them.
This matter… not the unique individuals of their world but a Player writing a Myth was something that they all should be obviously proud of.
[{( With great difficulty, they had reached the Edge of the Universe, the point which only they had seen until now. And, now, they were trying to go past it, break the limitation set by the [Original Power]. )}]
What the voice was saying and what they were listening to was not the same for all of them. Everyone was listening to something that they could understand the best in their own manner.
Some of the things that they were hearing sounded unclear, but that wasn't because of the way these words were being said.
Some things in this world were just too complicated for one to understand even with the simplest kind of knowledge that they possess.
Some of them didn't hear a few words, while some of them simply heard things that they were allowed to hear.
"Well…"
Ultimately, this was crazy.
So crazy that They All will soon experience something that just… won't really make sense to any of them present there.
