Crow's Paradise

This is a huge city completely populated by various man-made objects.

However, it was not the sci-fi tech city he had imagined.

Rather, it is a slightly gloomy city.

It is like a fantasy work based on England in the 18th and 19th centuries, with many things removed and many things added.

Visible to the naked eye, a tall, long-eared humanoid creature in a tuxedo took a step back as the train-like machine spouting gray smoke came along the track.

And then, in his sight, one after another inhuman creatures emerged from the train.

Elves, dwarves, orcs, demons, and all kinds of strange creatures familiar to Yao Yan during his lifetime emerged from the steam locomotive.

At this moment, Yao Yan's body was a bird-headed man with a human body and two wings on his back.

He glanced at his "hands" and saw that they were not wings, but claws.

He turned his gaze downwards and saw two more black bird claws.

Four claws?

However, at this time, when he tried to separate his spirit from his body, he suddenly discovered that his spirit was locked in this body.

At this moment, his "fantasy" judgment was instantly suppressed.

Standing still, he began to swallow and filter out all the memories in this body's mind.

When memories emerged, Yao Yan's eyes turned behind him. On the bus shelter where he was, there was an advertisement:

It was a huge beast, with a body similar to that of a human face and a lion, with wings on its back, and its shape was somewhat close to that of a sphinx.

However, on the poster, the accompanying text is:

[new life! New beginning! The guardian beast Saint Mnaron! ]

[Social duty as palace guard, no tedious work! ]

[Just a little money can give you such a new life! ]

Such a description made Yao Yan turn his attention back to the memories he was still devouring and digesting.

Then, he learned about a world that was more bizarre than any other world before.

Yao Yan carefully sorted out the current world view of the world.

The things described in the import interface are not from the current era.

In other words, we just describe this era from the perspective of historical development.

The specific details and shape of this era are not described.

Because of the author of this "round", the world of this era is a distribution society.

The writer described the structure of a society in detail——

It seems that the appearance of human beings is too boring, so the author is describing a world that is not human, or a world with more than just humans as the race in this world.

With the author's description as the guide, all forces and capital are fully promoting and transforming.

Consciousness can be transferred in different bodies, and in the author's description, different jobs in this world are performed by different races.

Dwarves are responsible for forging, elves are responsible for artistic work, and different types of races are also responsible for different tasks.

For example, right now, his current body is classified into the humanoid race, and the smaller category is bird-man, specifically "crow".

And his racial job is to transport and dispose of corpses by flying.

The social functions of different races are fixed.

However, different races can earn money through social work to purchase consciousness transfer, transfer their consciousness from one body to another body, and become another race.

There is even a special "criminal race" in this society.

For example, most of the rat races among the humanoid race and the rat race among the non-human races.

The social work of these races is stealing, vandalism and other crimes.

In the current era of this world and society, crime is planned from the top down.

A social situation planned to be closer to the world described by the writer.

In this era, as long as you have money, you can constantly transfer your consciousness and become a professional of various races.

The person who put down the pen has become the direct guide for the development direction of the world.

If someone writes that there will be war in the world, then there will be people from various forces who will use all their resources to cause war.

If the author does not describe who will be destroyed specifically, then it will be decided by these forces mutually.

This is ridiculous?

Yes, Yao Yan also thought it was ridiculous.

However, even if a war is initiated, it will meet the goals of certain forces, such as reorganizing interest relationships and occupying a larger share of interests.

Yao Yan browsed through his memories. Everyone in the world has become a large-scale role-playing game when "consciousness transfer" has become a social infrastructure technology.

A world-scale running game.

However, Yao Yan was a little confused.

What form of consciousness transfer does this world have?

The other Yao words cannot be determined, but if there is indeed this technology, then the "consciousness" carrier of this technology will definitely not be spirit.

After all, his spirit, his consciousness, is firmly locked and trapped in this body.

Then he sat back on the bus shelter chair.

Opening the suitcase he was carrying with his claws, Yao Yan saw a change of clothes and utensils in his field of vision.

Although this world is a mixture of various "fantasy" races, these fantasy races have no special abilities and basically only have physical means.

For example, the only difference between the arakkoa in his body and other races in ability is "flying".

Moreover, this society has strict legal regulations on "acting".

However, these regulations, these laws, are set according to the society described by the "writer".

Some things can only be owned, purchased, and used by certain races.

For example, forging tools is limited to races such as dwarves that rely on forging as a social function.

Artistic performances such as painting and singing are also restricted to races such as elves that can only be purchased and owned.

As for him, a Crow Man, his social occupation is "Bone Scavenger".

Only he can purchase various tools for moving corpses, collecting corpses, and repairing corpses.

Not only that, there are also a set of laws regarding "food".

Although Yaoyan now has no aversion to grains, bugs, bird eggs, fruits, and corpses as food, according to his values ​​during his lifetime, eating corpses alive, especially rotting corpses, was unacceptable to him.

However, in this society, most individuals have no idea about these.

Because in this social situation where "consciousness can be transferred" and "the social landscape must conform to the description of the author", their three views are different from the set of values ​​that Yao Yan was familiar with.

For example, "family", the concept of parent-child, at least in this era, has basically collapsed.

Memories and thoughts made Yao Yan think for a long time.

However, he soon broke away from these thoughts.

His ultimate goal is, of course, to follow the introduction instructions, find the "writer", and even let himself become the writer, change and influence this era and this society, so that when he leaves the trial space, he can obtain a greater star shadow. .

However, before that, he had to find Lao Jia first.

This time, he didn't come alone.

ps: How is it? This worldview background?

It's just a little difficult to write. These worlds were basically based on the outlines of a book, and now they are taken out and used as a copy.

There is a huge difference between writing a novel and a short story.

Slowly revealing the world view and burying various conflicts in a long novel are very different from short stories.

Originally, my writing style tends to be bland, and I am not very good at setting up various plots with continuous ups and downs. This became even more obvious when I was writing this book. (shrug)
