More Evidence For 1-A Alovenus​


All things are nothing but pieces on a board for Alovenus

Parthenos was once a member of a clan that served the Goddess. They were agents of the Goddess who supported her from the shadows and kept the world in balance. Parthenos felt pride over the role they had been given, a role that they had probably kept ever since humanity had been born.
We’re different from other people. We have been singled out by the Goddess. We are her servants who give her all our love and loyalty.
To her, the clueless clergy who blindly offered the Goddess faith without even knowing what kind of being she was were nothing short of laughable, an opinion that only furthered her sense of superiority.
I know the secrets of the world. I know the Goddess’ true goal. I know the real meaning of her true and unwavering love of humanity.
All things are as the Goddess wills. Monsters, devilfolk, humans, and even animals — all are nothing more than pieces on a board, and only we are allowed to stand outside of the game.-Volume 3, Part 10

Alovenus is the author of the world

—It seems that I’ve gained more memories in this situation.

It was a really interesting image, but how to deal with Scorpius was more pressing at the moment.

“Why... Why......! WhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhy! WhyWhyWHYWhyWhyWhyWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYYYYYYYY!”

Scorpius, having gone mad, continued to repeat herself as the pressure she gave off only increased. This wasn’t a figment of my imagination. She was undoubtedly getting stronger, as if something was pushing her evolution forward. She was exhibiting more power than her original stats allowed.

It was something that happened a lot in stories. Like, the kind of event where the main character, whose power paled in comparison to the enemy’s, started spouting a speech about getting through it together or not giving up or something and kept charging at the enemy. And then by the time anyone noticed, they were suddenly fighting evenly, even though there was no reason for the gap in power to have been bridged. And a moment later, the main character’s made a comeback and won.

Sometimes people labeled stuff like this as “plot convenience,” but that probably just meant that the author—or in other words, the god of the story—was buffing the main character and making them stronger himself. So this must have been the same thing. Alovenus, the Goddess (author) of this world, was giving Scorpius her support, allowing her to power up with no prior effort or setup.-Volume 3, Part 25

The world is just Alovenus's fiction

I had gotten an unexpected invitation to cooperate from the hero, so my motivation was through the roof right now. It was so high I broke through cloud nine. Of course this was all theoretical, but that was how great my mood was.

Oh man. Honestly, figuring out how to treat the hero was one of the problems on my list, since if I just ended up antagonizing him, then I’d be straight back to the “being beat up and sealed” route from two hundred years ago. He was still too weak to beat me, but he was the hero, after all. It’d be hard to tell just how much he’d change if the Goddess got involved.

It was the same way in stories, right? Even though the gap between their power was originally so large fighting wouldn’t even be an option, there’d be a bunch of random events that would lead to the hero’s awakening into some ridiculous, monstrous strength. Like anger from a friend’s death or some sort of previously sealed power... Just like that, the hero would suddenly be stronger than the last boss.

Of course, that was just in fiction. Fiction was different from reality, so this doubt was only me mixing up fiction and reality. But unfortunately... This world was basically just the world of the Goddess’s fiction, and she just loved the standard tropes and conventions. I figured she was the type to overlook at least some amount of contradiction or lack of consistency. That was why the laws of physics barely worked in this world that she’d made. For example, I wouldn’t be surprised if different armors that weighed the same would affect speed in different ways or something game-like like that. Or, like, by using claws in both hands, your attack power would double.

My point being that if I underestimated and ignored the hero, then the Goddess would be free to power him up to surpass me. That wouldn’t be surprising at all. So the hero coming to me to cooperate and build friendly relations was completely welcome.-Volume 4, Part 20

Alovenus is a being that is beyond the board, that is the world

<<Do you want power?>>
Leon’s heart leapt. A kind female voice filled with love tickled his eardrums, and he could feel a premonition of power greater than he’d ever felt before throughout his entire body.
This is what I’ve been waiting for. What I’ve been wanting is right here. Enough power to fight Lufas is right here.
<<You are the strongest monster, so this must not be allowed to happen to you. If you wish, I can give you power.>>
Leon saw an unfamiliar but beautiful blue-haired girl in his mind’s eye. She smiled and extended her hand towards Leon. Obviously, this was a ploy by the Goddess and an invitation to Leon’s doom, but the corners of his mouth tilted upwards as he grinned.
Power... It’s power! I won’t lose to anyone as long as I have power. I can even fight Lufas. I don’t need my pride. Power is everything. Power is absolute. Weak people can’t even protect their pride anyway.
Leon didn’t hesitate to grab the hand offered to him.
I don’t need the whole pitch... Stop stalling; hurry and give it! Power. I want it! Shut up and give me absolute power that won’t lose to anyone!
<<All right then. I will fulfill your wish.>>
The Goddess smiled and held her hand to Leon. The next moment, Leon’s body explosively filled with divine power.
It happened suddenly. The fight should have been over with everything decided, but the result was overturned by an unscrupulous third party from beyond the board. Leon’s entire body glowed as it overflowed with uncharacteristic holy power, and everyone other than Scorpius, who was in the middle of her hysterics, sensed the danger at the same time.-Volume 5, Part 10

When Alovenus possesses an avatar this is described as logging in

“Hurry! Before I... Before the Goddess fully takes control! If I stop being myself, I won’t take it easy on you next time!”

“Sorry!”

Seeing Pollux look so desperate, Terra immediately understood that things were serious. Though he hesitated for a moment, he still grabbed Luna’s hand and left in short order.

In truth, he didn’t want to leave Pollux there, and he felt ashamed of his deplorable actions, but if he had to fight Pollux while she wasn’t holding back, he wouldn’t be able to protect Luna. As soon as he’d realized that, Terra retreated as fast as he could.

While watching Terra’s back grow smaller and smaller, Pollux’s mouth twisted cynically.

“To move me...who carries part of this world’s balance on her shoulders... Looks like the Goddess is pretty cornered. That’s probably proof that things are going just as Miss Lufas planned... But I honestly don’t know if I should be happy about that. Still, all this has already been predicted... It’s all going according to plan.” She paused. “The timing is just awful though.”

Pollux laughed as she felt her soul forcibly being nudged towards sleep. If the Goddess really wants to use this body, then... Fine. I’ll let her. But in exchange, her field of view will narrow.

It wasn’t widely known, but the Goddess was not all-seeing. In fact, it was the opposite. Her point of view was so wide it limited her. For example, imagine a model of the whole of Mizgarz, populated by little models of all the towns and with people in them moving as they were in real life. Could you see everything everybody was doing? No, it would be impossible. Everything would be too small, and your point of view would be too zoomed out.

That was the relationship the Goddess had with Mizgarz. The way she normally saw the world was like someone looking through a magnifying glass or microscope. That was why she couldn’t see everything at once. It was also why she made puppets, or avatars, to be her arms and legs and to take action in her place. Since the scale of existence was too different, the Goddess was unable to grasp the goings-on at such a small scale, and it actually proved to be a point of difficulty.

The Goddess had ways of fixing that though. She could possess (or log in) to her own avatar or puppets and see the world through their eyes. Pollux was not the Goddess’s avatar, but she was something close to it. Or rather, her true body was close to it.

Pollux was already independent of her true body, as a fairy with her own personality, but it was possible for the Goddess to force her way in. Of course, Pollux could hold on for a little while if she were to try to resist, but she decided not to do that. Even if she resisted, it wouldn’t change the final result, and there was merit to giving in quickly.

If she were to allow the Goddess to “log in,” the Goddess’s point of view would be narrowed to that of a normal person. In other words, while Pollux was being controlled, her master’s actions would become a mystery to the Goddess. This was kind of a double-edged sword for the Goddess. In exchange for gaining the power of Pollux, Lufas would temporarily be allowed to move freely.-Volume 6, Part 2

This is again stated that when she "possesses" an avatar its akin to moving a character in a TRPG.

However, Terra was convinced. He knew that if he were to give in to these feelings of relief and relaxation, all that awaited them was destruction. Her words made him truly feel at ease; just like a mother’s lullaby, it stripped him of all wariness. That was scarier than anything else.
Also, if they were to get caught here, Terra wouldn’t be able to face Pollux, who’d struggled so much. Struggle... Yes, she’s still fighting in there. If she wasn’t... We would already have disappeared, especially Luna.
If the devilfolk were a spell cast by the Goddess, then it should have been easy for her to dispel them as well. But given how that hadn’t happened yet, as well as the fact that she wanted a card to play against his father, Terra figured that at the moment, the Goddess was in an incomplete state where she was unable to bring her omnipotence and omniscience to bear.
She’s just hijacking Pollux’s consciousness, possessing her. That’s why we’re still alive. No, “possessing” isn’t quite accurate. I’d guess that Pollux isn’t even being possessed right now. It seems to me like the Goddess is moving a piece on a board. Pollux is acting like a puppet who’s being controlled, while the controller uses her as a mouthpiece.
If Lufas had been here, she’d probably point out that it was like moving a character in a TRPG.-Volume 6, Part 11

Add a Section Which Explains Residents of Alovenus World​


The entire universe is Alovenus magic spell, composed of infinite mana

Actually, I bet she’d still be calm even if I did defeat Dina. In the end, this entire universe is nothing but a game to her, something to be frustrated over if you lose and maybe something you’d get so mad over you’d never play again. But that’s all. In a game, it didn’t matter how many of your characters were killed. It wouldn’t hurt you in real life at all.

That was why I needed to destroy this universe—this game—once in order to get on the same level as the Goddess. If I didn’t, I’d never be able to have a proper fight with her. In fact, I’d never be able to even meet her. This also meant that I couldn’t afford to stumble here, at this stage, of course. After all, I had yet to even reach Alovenus.

“Totally unreliable, all of them. However, all of that ends here. Not even you can win against me.”
“You’re wrong. That’s Dina’s body. You aren’t even standing on the battlefield yet,” I said.
“I see. You have a point. But this will be more than enough for you.”
As she spoke, the aura of pressure that the Goddess/Dina gave off increased in strength. She’s attacking! I could tell this from the stirrings of the mana from beyond this planet, which wasn’t on so small a scale as that which had been contained on Mizgarz. She was gathering the mana that comprised this universe itself. Indeed, this entire universe was nothing but a magic spell of hers, so there was an infinite amount of mana around.-Volume 9, Part 1

Naturally this includes every living thing in the world, which has mana in them, and killing other living things to steal that mana, is how the characters get stronger (Volume 3, Part 16).

When the Devilfolk die, they release mana throughout the world which allow residents of Midgard to use magic

Could it be? Lufas was actually even stronger before I possessed her? No. No way. Just how much stat boosting would she have had to do? How many tens of times the playtime would she have had to log to do that?

“I see. So I was a bit too impatient. It’s not yet time.”

For some reason, the Devil King was acting as if he’d come to some conclusion that only he was aware of.

Is he some sort of loner? Talking to yourself is one of the signs of being a loner.

“Just what have you been going on about all this time? Why don’t you let us in on whatever it is you’ve figured out on your own?”

When I spoke, the Devil King finally looked up at me, as if he’d just noticed I was still here. “No, it is nothing. I only learned that it was too early for me to fight you. Like this, we cannot surpass the Goddess’ scenario.”

“The Goddess’ scenario?”

“Correct. This world moves according to the scenario written by the all-powerful Goddess. The devilfolk are no exception to that... In fact, you can say that the devilfolk are jesters that are puppeted to liven up the scenario. The Goddess created them for that purpose alone.”

I still haven’t beaten him, but I guess he decided I passed anyway?

Even though the winner hadn’t been decided, the Devil King was talking easily, leaking all sorts of information. What happened to, “then force me to tell you?” Well, if he’ll talk, then I’ll listen, though. Whatever.

“Why do you think the devilfolk attack people and kill them?”

“Isn’t it to expand your territory?”

“That is a part of it, but it’s also only the surface reason. The real reason is that...they have to kill people. It is like how humans cannot live without eating or stay sane without sleeping. For devilfolk, it is the same type of instinctive need. You see, the devilfolk...they are flawed creatures that disappear if they don’t kill humans. Like that, the devilfolk disappear and scatter throughout the world. Those scattered fragments of their bodies are what you call ‘mana.’”

That was something I didn’t know. It was true that game lore didn’t cover why mana existed in the world at all. I never questioned it, though. I just figured that it was natural, since it was a fantasy setting.

“Their bodies are recycled and reused. That is proof that they are nothing but a magic spell. Without the devilfolk, none of you would be able to use the convenient power of magic. But because they exist, you are forced into a fruitless war that will continue on forever. The Goddess made the devilfolk to be this way and left their management to me.”-Volume 3, Part 5

Mana is a piece of Alovenus's power, as well as experience, which is why Ruphas an co could get to the same level as Alovenus when they absorbed the mana from the universe

“So you’re awake, you sleepyhead.”

“That’s... Ah, right. So you did it.”

Even while still groggy from her slumber, Dina managed to look around and figure out what was going on. She was right. Everything had gone well so far. From here, Benet, Orm, and I would be strutting our stuff. Unfortunately, all the others without the right to challenge could not participate.

I took out the Key to Reach the Heavens and activated it. When I did so, the ownership of the universe shifted to me. This universe had already been tossed aside, so it was free for me—the one with the key—to claim, though I still wasn’t able to stop its destruction, of course.
“U-Um, Miss Lufas! We’re totally calm, but what should we do about this? I-It’s all happening so fast!”

“Calm down, Aries. The universe is just going to end a little,” I said.

“Whaaaaa?!”

I laughed and activated a skill, one of Aigokeros’s. This universe was the magic of the Goddess, and now that she’d abandoned it, it was mine. So naturally, it was within my right to absorb all of it.

“Gather to me, Goddess’s power!”

This universe was a magic spell, and spells were made of mana. Mana was a piece of the Goddess’s power, as well as experience itself. This all made a certain thing possible. I would fuse myself with the universe and reach the realm of divinity.

Yes, this was my final move. The plan was to absorb the universe the Goddess had left behind, reach the same domain as her, punch her, and send her flying. Also, I wasn’t the only one absorbing the universe. Thanks to the effects of Sagittarius’s skill Ascella, Benet and Orm were sharing in the experience.-Volume 9, Part 3

Basically this is all to say the residents of Alovenus's world all have a piece of her power, and thus certain events make sense such as Tauros training to be able to shatter a tiny fragment of Alovenus power, or Ruphas and co getting to 1-A.

Later threads I will add on to this like the weird things the cast can do as a result such as harming characters way above their level, but for now this is fine.

These look good to add to the blog, wasn't sure if adding some cosmology blog feats needed a crt or not. Looks pretty clear that the Goddess is seen as an author in many ways, or similarly a player that can mess with the game.

Then the mana bit shows that everyone basically starts off with some form of mana, and they can steal more mana by killing living things. Then the Demons are like a cheat to this(Alovenus technically being lazy and making a work around..). But yeah the higher the level, the more mana, and the more your power represents Alovenus.
 
Agreed. I just have one question, I remember reading that Alovenus left the universe and just flew to the end point, how do you solve that?
 
This was answered in the discussion thread as well. She was born as irrationality for the end point, and impossibility given form. If rational things came together and made up creation, she was the irrational parts that shouldn't exist and were deemed unecessary in it. Thus the moment she was created, she already had the potential to reach the end point. Alovenus just hadn't done it yet, until she decided to and then believed she can. So she did. Cause she was already formed with the power to do the impossible, including that. There's some quotes there about her power as well and how she basically doesn't belong.

Oh, well, I guess that solves going from a non 1A realm to 1A. Thanks for the clarification

That universe she left basically was not part of her creation. Prolly, she simply arranged it—make it unreal together with the universes she created after ascending to godhood.
 
It's more polished as expected from it being a LN. In the end that's what it needed, and changing the story up in some way wasn't too necessary.
