“These articles are exaggerated,” the demigod in charge of freedom fighter’s finance immediately denied the legitimacy of the articles shared by Luna and added the reason why he thought so, “They are claiming that the illusionary beings inside the VR-Universe are alive and have built a civilization which is as advanced and capable as ours. Now that is just absurd.” 

As for the other four demigods, their faces were serious. Should they have read these articles from renowned illusionists before Luna showed them articles where card apprentices were learning new knowledge which was unique to VR-Universe and cannot be found in this world, they too would have disregarded these articles as ludicrous and irrational just like the rest of the world did. 

However, now that they have seen firsthand that the card apprentices who have explored VR-Universe were gaining unique knowledge that did not belong to the card world they too started to lead toward the claims made by renowned illusionists in their articles. 

But they will not conclude anything about the VR-Universe until they have experienced it themselves and verified the claims made in the articles by the influencers and the illusionists. 

“Come on, you guys don’t tell me you believe these articles. Baylor, you too?” The demigod in charge of freedom fighter’s finance was dumbfounded to see his colleagues lean toward the claims made in the ludicrous articles.

“I can’t say until I have experienced the VR-Universe myself,” Baylor said, in his mind, he was very proud that Ellen’s son was the one-of-a-kind this world has ever seen. 

“Luna, what did you find?” Henricks noticed that so far Luna has only been sharing the articles on what other card apprentices have found and shared with the card world but not what she found. 

Listening to Henricks’s question, the demigod’s focus landed on Luna, and this time they patiently waited for Luna to impart her observations of the VR-Universe, unlike the last time when they were frustrated with her for wasting the last of their money on VR-Universe.

“Now that we all are on almost the same page, I will stop with the introduction and start the real class,” Luna’s eyes shone brightly as she was too excited to share her findings with her colleagues. 

“When I learned that the card apprentices were able to use the unique methods of monster corpse processing, monster meat harvesting, and monster culinary that they learned in the VR-Universe in the real world. I set out to see if that was true for another form of such knowledge, so I learned the item crafting and martial arts unique to VR-Universe and tried them out in the real world, and guess what? I was able to create cards using the item recipe and martial arts I learned in VR-Universe. Proving that the knowledge of the civilization in the world of VR-Universe wasn’t just unique but real,” Luna paused after speaking part one of her big reveal to let the audience soak in the shock. 

It has only been a few days since the VR-Slime card was released on the market. Unlike Luna who had an unparalleled bloodline that allowed her to learn item crafting and martial arts in VR-Universe with ease, the influencers who explored the VR-Universe weren’t that adept in doing so. 

Therefore they could not make articles and videos about using items and martial arts of the VR-Universe in the real world. 

However, this did not mean that the influencers weren’t trying to do so. Given the time, within a month or so the grimoire network will be filled with articles and videos of influencers using items and martial arts from VR-Universe to create cards. 

By then the world would already be aware of the potential and possibilities of the VR-Universe. And that it was far more worthwhile than the ‘soul energy digestion’ effect of the VR-Slime card.

“Luna, did you really create cards using the items and martial arts that you learned in VR-Universe?” Baylor asked Luna in utter disbelief. 

“Yes, I did. However, due to my limited talent in the limited time, I could only learn some low-level items and martial arts. Not to mention, high-level item recipes and martial arts are difficult to find in the VR-Universe. I guess I will have to spend a lot of time exploring the VR-Universe to find high-level items and martial arts,” Luna said as she shared the documents on her findings with the five demigods. While unconsciously she was looking forward to her next visit to the VR-Universe. 

“This only proves that the knowledge in the VR-universe is real and not the illusions in the VR-Universe are real and living,” the demigod in charge of freedom fighter’s finance argued only because he could not see Luna escape accountability for her actions again. 

Listen to the remark of her demigod colleague, Luna raised her left eyebrow and then letting out a sneer she said, “After confirming that knowledge imparted in VR-Universe is real I began to test the claims made by illusionists by interacting with the illusionary beings in the VR-Universe. Just like the illusionists mentioned in their articles these beings were highly interactive, emotional, and felt very real. 

However my research did not end there, I found an illusionary being that can be considered a corrupt bureaucrat in that particular world of the VR-Universe and killed it just to see what impact it will have on the VR-Universe and other illusionary beings. 

The result was surprisingly very similar to what would have happened in reality. They held a funeral for the dead while his friends and family cried and so on. Life of various illusionary beings was influenced because of this incident in various ways. 

Therefore I concluded that these illusionary beings were real and living in their way. They had a different definition of reality and way of life fitting their illusionary world. And it was not right to express their reality and way of life using our definition of reality and living beings. Therefore instead of calling them illusions I termed them as illusionary beings, meaning living beings made of illusion.

During this incident, I also learned of the Karma system of the VR-Universe. If a card apprentice does anything bad in the VR-Universe they gain negative karma but if they do something good they gain good karma. 

What is the use of karma you ask? It will determine the card apprentice’s affinity with the illusionary beings of the VR-Universe. If you have negative Karma the illusionary beings will be hostile toward you and if you have positive karma the illusionary beings will be friendly with you.

And over time, both negative and positive karma began to decrease at a slow pace. So to maintain good karma you have to regularly keep doing good things in the VR-Universe. You can also choose to have a neutral karma.”
