TL/N: The previous person that worked on the novel left and I decided to pick this up cause it is extremely different from the normal Harem tags and very interesting. Hope you enjoy the novel!
Ch.2 Incarnation contract
An advertisement, or rather, a text message sent from that other dimension.
This contained a lot of information.
The people of that world dimension, which is the SF worldview, have discovered the existence of God. And a spontaneously generated galactic spirit. Is it a god that is a galactic spirit? Is it a god that rules over a galaxy like Nyseria
What does constellation mean?
First, there is no choice but to process power according to the information in the guide text. If I want to tour their dimension or project my influence, they’re asking you to follow their method.
In fact, if you force and hit it, it seems like you can break through the dimensional wall… But that is impossible with power at Nyseria.
It seems that the power of a being like me is responsible for sending such a message across dimensions.
The absolute being of that world… is probably helping the leader of the Galactic Imperial Federation.
Let me try it out as the guide says.
■■■■ㅡ
That’s certain. The information written here is the interference of an outsider from that dimension.
The power to create a tangible form is completely intangible,not a transformation.
If I pour in more than a certain power, I can interfere with the ‘permission’ of the one who rules the other dimension. The knowledge dwelling in my head was telling me.
If I could fully control the power I had,I could spend that kind of power in another dimension.
If I spent time studying it. And learn how to omit power in that direction, it was possible
Let’s project power according to the laws they told me. An information body appeared in the empty space where there was nothing.
A faint piece of information, smaller than a star, was embroidered into the space.
The information, processed into the form of a small white screen according to my will, automatically began to speak.
[Beep beep. Greetings. Constellation from another dimension.]
“What are you?”
[I am an AI belonging to the Imperial Federation, created for constellations of naturally-occurring planetary spirit entity level or higher who are interested in our dimension.]
Is it possible to explore other dimensions beyond the existence of a ‘spontaneous planetary spirit’? This AI is AI, but it seems to have a lot of authority and laws. It’s a strange feeling that unknown knowledge is coming to mind.
[You can see our dimension through me. However, if you want to exert influence on our dimension, there is one condition.]
“Condition?”
[Yes. Most of your influence will be exerted through the mortal incarnation you contracted with.]
[If you project your power through me, it will be possible to create your followers or followers beyond the dimensional wall.]
The small screen slightly grew larger and showed various screens.
Giant monsters falling to the planet. The space fleet’s gunfire and airships floating in the sky. Looking at the space fleet battle, it seemed like a SF world, and the monsters opposing the fleet seemed quite strong.
[We are in a dimension where the Homo sapiens sapiens species holds hegemony.]
[But it is also a place that suffers from numerous space monsters and malignant constellations within the dimension.]
[If the constellations of other dimensions take pity on mortals and lend them their strength, the mortal race that holds the dimensional hegemony will provide you with a lot of fun.]
Ah. I see.
I guess it is a contract between humans in the SF world and the gods called constellations. Humans receive the power to overcome crises, and constellations gain followers or influence.
Of course, the basis of this contract is fun.
* * *
[Even if a mortal is enhanced by the technology of the Empire Federation, it is difficult to receive the power of the constellation as it is.]
[The power, power, and true name given to the human who made the contract with the constellation are restricted.]
[If the mortal does not want it, he can refuse the incarnation contract.]
The constellation stuff that appeared in the movie. Itself.
[If you demand behavior that goes beyond the ethical and moral standards that apply to mortals, you may be subject to sanctions.]
[This is a bill according to the Empire Federation Immortal Ethics Standards Act…]
It means that you can choose a human from that dimension, give them strength, and let them grow.
It’s a world where you fight fiercely against space monsters. It’s going to be quite difficult.
[The number of incarnations you can contract with increases as time passes.]
There are quite a few conditions for contracts that give you strength.
Well, it seems that there are evil gods called evil constellations.
■■ㅡ
Let’s project a power weaker than the tip of a teapot onto the information, and the screen spreads out even wider.
No matter how wide it spreads, it feels like looking at dust through a microscope. This monstrous body seems to have good eyesight.
A space map was spread out, indicating the territory of the Empire Federation.
I could examine the planets of the Galactic Empire one by one according to my will.
It felt as if I was examining the planets from the perspective of a satellite.
People wearing similar, yet different, clothes from the 21st century were visible.
The difference was felt in that they were civilizations that had advanced into space. There were many planets that had realized huge buildings that could go beyond the atmosphere or even orbital elevators. There were also many incarnations that beat up monsters that looked like black lumps.
But the incarnations of other constellations are expressed in red like that.
Honestly, I was intrigued.
It seemed more fun than just floating around space forever and doing nothing.
Then. Should I make a contract with someone?
* * *
The other dimension that I took the time to look into was so amazing.
A world familiar with the incarnation contract where a transcendent being grants power. And yet a worldview that uses the scientific power and supernatural powers of SF together.
And endlessly occurring space monsters that cannot be easily defeated even with a combination of science and supernatural powers.
Also, with the development of contraceptive technology, as well as supernatural powers and science, the status of men and women was completely equal.
The Federation’s army was a conscripted army that did not discriminate between men and women. However, due to the high status of various androids, artificial intelligence, and professional soldiers, there was no shortage of troops.
A public broadcast that praised the incarnations that fought against space monsters by making contracts with constellations as heroes.
On the other hand, there was another broadcast that fiercely criticized and demanded a response to the malicious constellations next to it.
There was even a planet that worshipped a single constellation as its main character, so it could be said to be a perfect fusion of SF and constellation stories.
I zoomed in on the screen to the max and looked at one of the holograms that the human was reading.
It seemed to be a history related to the constellations from that world, and the important contents were as follows.
Terra Imperial Calendar 2058. Immortals that project influence within a single planet are named constellations, single-planet-limited life forms.
Galactic Imperial Calendar 45. Constellations that rule over a single planet are named spontaneous planetary spirits.
Galactic Imperial Calendar 215. War breaks out with some spontaneous planetary spirits that have lost their faith.
Galactic Imperial Calendar 390.Negotiations with a number of spontaneous planetary spirits are successful. Agreements are concluded to guarantee autonomy and other rights.
Galactic Imperial Calendar 912.The first spontaneous galactic spirits that rule over our galaxy are discovered.
172nd year of the Empire Federation. A treaty was signed with the spontaneous galactic spirits. They were recognized as a mortal race that held the supremacy of the galaxy.
174th year of the Empire Federation. The spontaneous galactic spirits [Quiet Starlight] applied the law of the incarnation contract to our galaxy.
Just before turning to the next page, the hologram turned off, so I couldn’t see everything. But I was able to obtain enough information.
Ordinary humans in this SF world are aware of even the divinity of Nyseria.
In the 21st century when I lived, there were many people who didn’t believe in the existence of God.
Is it because science has developed so much that it is a rational interpretation of the immortal god?
‘Who are you contracting with…’ Since there is only one person you can contract with now, I felt the need to choose carefully.
There is also the symbolism of the first incarnation. If possible, I wonder if there will be someone who will listen to what I say. I manipulated the AI here and there with my transcendent eyesight and reasoning skills. First, I excluded the capital planet of the Empire Federation, which was painted black and could not be seen.
The level of development varies from planet to planet, so I excluded all the planets that were too backward.
Among the moderately wealthy planets, those with very strange or evil personalities are excluded.
Other alien races that are not human are disgusting, so for now, I exclude them.
If I were to choose a beautiful woman with my selfish desires as a former male…
But there are still too many people.
Is it because the worldview is one where people live throughout the galaxy? The number of people seems to easily exceed the trillions?
In this dimension, it might be possible, but wouldn’t it be difficult in that dimension? However, it seems like a huge mistake to break the dimensional wall and project power.
“Artificial Intelligence.”
[Yes, Your Majesty.]
“I want to find a mortal to make a contract with, but with the functions and authority built into you, how far can I project my power?”
It would be better to ask permission through the official route.
[I will assist in the search for Your Majesty’s incarnation as long as it does not violate the laws of the Empire Federation. Please supply energy with Your Majesty’s power.]
The screen got a little bigger and there were more options to choose from.
It seems like there’s a filter function? You can now filter by race, gender, age, education, and planet of residence.
After looking around for a while, I saw a suitable human female. Black hair that reached down to her waist. She looked like she would have been a famous celebrity if it were 21st century Earth.
But this is the space age. People like her were everywhere.
In an era where genetic engineering technology and plastic surgery were developed by leaps and bounds, appearance was not a specification.
In a way, you could say that he was born in the wrong era.
If this were Earth in the 21st century, he would have been street-casted many times before, but here, he was just a common job seeker.
My heart was moved when I saw him having a serious conversation with a counselor from a public institution that helps young people find jobs.
The fact that he was an orphan who lost his entire family to a space monster must have ignited my weak sympathy.
“With the specifications submitted by Ms. Lee Yu-na… um. Are you thinking of applying to the Planetary Defense Force?”
“If you join the Defense Force, don’t you have to get a strengthening serum? It’s a bit…”
Even in this SF world, your name is Korean. I thought it wasn’t bad for a first incarnation.
[Searching for the constellation’s true name… Unable to search. Connecting to the highest administrator.]
[A message from the highest administrator has arrived for the constellation of another dimension.]
[This is the first time I’ve seen a being equal to myself. Let’s meet and talk next time.]
[With the authority of the highest administrator, the other dimension’s constellation’s nickname is decided as the Whispering Star Cluster.]
What is this? As expected, that AI was definitely created by an outsider.
It felt like it was looking ‘this way’ beyond the dimension, so I’m sure.
Since she called herself the main woman, it seems like she must be a female, and she seems to have lived much longer than me.
Should I go say hello to the outsider from that dimension?
[The other dimension’s constellation, the Whispering Star Cluster, offers you an incarnation contract.]
At that moment, I saw the eyes of the woman I had applied for the contract with wide open in surprise.
Perhaps the message was visible to the people around them. The people nearby turned their heads to the empty space.
“Everything. Everything. Another dimension?! Incarnation contract?!”
“Wow…! A constellation from another dimension contacted you?”
“Yes. Yes! It seems right…”
Kudangtang!
…Press accept and faint.
