"Beam of life"
A place out of humanity's reach, where all the monsters are given life to, normally even if a person knew about it and we're looking for it they would not find it, a place so elusive, even if a human had somehow come across it by accident they will not notice it and for a dead human to end up in it, it was impossible at the least.
The beam of life was like the river that cleansed ones memory, after going through it, at the end was a promised new beginning for every monster.
It was a place where monsters went to after their death to regenerate, to be born anew, it was much like the thing we believed in, what it was called again "Ah, reincarnation". The cycle of life continued even for the so-called monsters.
It was not a place for humans nor a dead human will end up, dead humans went to different places according to the beliefs that they carried when they were alive. So, humans with their different beliefs went through different journeys, before getting a reincarnation.
And at last to the system, there had never been a case of a corpse passing through the
The beam of light or ever being collected by the beam of life, only took what we humans called "souls" but originally to the system it was nothing more than sets of data, bits, and bites.
Even a corpse was an organic life form a character. A chunk of data to the system.
At the end of the beam of life was the brightly glowing white light. On the other side of it was the place where your life materialized and you got a new body, a fresh start. But it was not the case for me, it was my body that went through it, which should have been impossible in the first place.
How did I, Kim Meonjeo, end up in the beam of life? I don't have the answer to that.
Out of all those things, she showed me most were the memories of mine, before my death. Memories of mine, that she was able to recover. My memories, Most of my memories were not vivid they were vague and fuzzy.
After my death what she showed me like my body being carried by the beam of life those were a part of her memories.
I don't know why I killed myself in the future, nor did she find the reason in my memories.
The beam of light that fell on the ocean, and the blue light that emerged from it expanding itself, engulfed the surrounding, it was the System's last resort. [The Last Resort]
[The Last Resort] it was originally the will of the system, the will to do everything, calculate and execute whatever has been necessary, the most suitable way to protect the life forms, at the face of a crisis that threatened the world that it protects, even if it meant it had to sacrifice itself. The system's will was to protect the lifeforms in its world to the end.
"That's, what took place the day you killed yourself, [The Last Resort] activated for the first time, the beam of light you see now, it engulfed the world in itself to protect it"
We were back to where we began on the seawall, after jogging through her memories.
"But at the end, it failed too," she said
"When the system was under attack, an anomaly was detected for the first time in the system a human whose corpse had come into the beam of life"
"I failed to protect the world"
"When I went to check on the anomaly, I found my traces on it, that was you."
"You were an unrecorded existence, something that was not possible at all since the system knew everything, it was supposed to know everything."
"That was something that was not possible but yet you existed and had the traces of the system on you the mark of me"
"So, I took your body with me to my own dimension, to buy time, to know more about your existence"
"I decided to escape, to save myself, to look for the last hope that I found with your existence"
"So, to save the core, Myself." pointing at herself
"So that I could still have a chance to save them someday, I needed to survive. Thus, I fragmented myself from the system just in the nick of time before the system was completely taken over by them, and managed to escape"
"Then I came to this dimension where living things existed to escape from them, But since in my original form they could have easily discovered me, I had to hide somehow i had to partially shut down myself only keeping my critical functions on like a sleep or hibernation"
"I was still searching for a way to conceal myself better, that's when i found a woman oneday"
"That woman was on the verge of death. When I found her, she was bleeding profusely
lying on the street, a car had hit her and ran away. That woman looked exactly like the person in your memory. The person you desired to see so much before your death, the only person you remembered vividly. So, I ended up going through her memories, but her memories were nothing like yours and there were no traces of you in her memory, not a single memory of you, nothing even closely related to you."
"when she took her last breath I thought it was the best option to conceal myself in her body, thus i took her body"
"And now, i am like this now, carrying her name"
"After I took over her body, I had temporarily lost control of my abilities, I had almost become like a normal human, due to my lack of understanding of humans at the time."
"When I started to regain control of my abilities, I began to search for information on you, but I couldn't find much to go along with in your memories"
