  After around 1 year and 2 months in the imperial calendar, we have arrived at the Rhorp system beyond Mekel Quadrant, Limier Region. This system is three hypernes away from Mekel-Limier Station and is the system where we detected traces of psychic energy. Due to Hexelix Nebu in the previous system, we spent almost 4 months trying to not get lost in it.

  From our previous record of this system, it is a binary star system where two equivalent mass stars orbiting a central point in the system. There are 4 pnets and 3 of them are gas giants while the st one is a barren rocky pnet.

  However, once we arrived and re-scan the system, we found that the orbits or every celestial object are a mess. For once, Rhorp-a Star’s orbit is no longer locked with Rhorp-b Star and its trajectory is going outside of its own system, dragging 2 gas giants along.

  Then, Rhorp-b Star was also going outside its own system. What surprised us is that there is another unknown star we did not detect before nearby as well and is moving at a tremendous speed.

  This star, from my own assumption, was a rogue star outside of our gaxy that appeared in the recent years. We detected it briefly before it entered the Hexelix Nebu but did not track this star due to the interference of the nebu and we have to focus on our war efforts with the neighboring empires as well.

  Other than that, two other main celestial objects, a rocky pnet and a gas giant, have disappeared. Perhaps because of the 3rd new star, those two pnets were slingshot out of the influence of the system gravity well.

  Intriguing, but unimportant.

  However, because of the chaotic changes that occurred to the Rhorp system, we have to recalcute where exactly that psychic energy appeared since we can no longer use stelr objects as reference. Once recalibration is completed, then we can finally begin our investigation.

  Yawn… good morning everyone! Or… is it a good evening? Since I woke up just now, It’s a night! And wow, what a nice night sky there, there is a lot of fuzzy light bnketing it, much like a view of the Milky Way back on Earth but cranking it up to the entire sky. It’s good that the clouds are clear today as well! Oh, and I just noticed, this pnet seems to have a ring as well! Albeit very faint. Maybe it’s from my impact? Or maybe it already has that for a long time.

  Well, now that I think about it, before I “Sleep”, which is not actually a sleep in human sense where you close your eyes and practice death every day but just a shutdown of my consciousness for sometimes, like a time skip, I forgot to turn on time function in my console command, so I have no idea how long I had slept…

  Hopefully, it’s not a week, right?

  Anyway, I’ll turn on the time now… I hate that it won’t automatically do that for me, meh.

  … What?

  As I enabled the [f.Time] function, in which I wrote it as a macro combining various commands to print the correct local time for me, there were various errors that made me question reality for a moment.

  First of all, the log said that the local star was not detected? Since this console, while very limited, is very accurate as it draws data directly from the universe itself. That means… the pnet I crashed nded on has no star? But that was impossible, wasn't it? Before I went to sleep, the three stars I was so concerned about are definitely bring their light on this pnet.

  In my many iterations of reincarnation, if I was on a pnet that has life, the pnet would at least have one parent star. Think about it, conventional life cannot exist without light unless you’re some kind of lifeforms that are not on a pnet but in some different realms of existence.

  But this pnet? It has three starts. Definitely has three stars. And they’re… gone? Damn, just how long had I been sleeping that we reached the heat-death of the universe!

  … Just kidding, I can see other stars shining in the sky just like now. Moreover, even before stars all turned into a bck hole, a neutron star, or an iron star, a pnet would already become dust!

  Well, there are various hypotheses to this. It’s either that the dimensional interference random shenanigans occurred again, or that in a veeeerrrrryyyyy low chance, a celestial object with big enough gravitational force came and messed with every orbit in the system, or someone obliterated all three stars for… fun?

  Hey, it’s not THAT ridiculous of a hypothesis, alright? In my countless reincarnations, I’ve seen wayyyy worse randomness. Ever heard of Murphy's w? Anything that could go wrong WILL go wrong!

  Ok, next… this pnet doesn’t have a moon. That’s normal. Next!

  The thing that piqued my interest is that this pnet seems to… orbit a gas giant? Well, it’s not that weird or anything, that just makes this pnet a moon of the gas giant instead. What’s weird is that I’ve never ever observed this gas giant, even once!

  … This pnet wasn’t tidally-locked, right? Meaning, this pnet wasn’t just facing only one of its faces toward the gas giant, and I happened to nd on the “Dark side of the moon” or something, right?

  Well, I can’t answer what I don’t know. Skip!

  The other errors are normal since I don’t have permission to immediately know data like pnet rotation speed, gravity, atmosphere, or how long it would take for this pnet to revolve around a star with this meager level of authority over the universe I currently have. So, what I need to do is to discover those things myself and manually input the data and therefore, be able to accurately measure time on this pnet.

  In the end, at the current date, I only have what I could reference from Earth since that’s the measurement of time I’m most used to. Right now, the time shows only hour, minute, and second.

  With that out of the way… good news, the sea of va is a bit colder now! It still looks molten hot and would burn your face if you look at it, but it’s a bit less liquid now. With this, I think I can try molding something like a structure now?

  With that in mind, I tried willing the va to form into pilrs. The molten rocks are slowly accumuting into a long pole of fiery death. When I stopped controlling it… as expected, it colpsed. So, I tried again, but this time, I held it a little longer, leaving it to cool down a little more and… voi! It held!

  As I looked at my first pilr with pride, it… slowly bending down again, becoming an arch instead.

  No, I will not yield! I must create perfect pilrs!

  … and so, because of extreme boredom, I completely forgot about the absence of the suns and pying with va like a kid…

  .

  .

  .

  After pyi— AHEM! I mean, studying va molding techniques for a while, I found out that there is a limit in my mental capability to do something very detailed, so Instead of directly willing it, I made multiple hands that can change shapes into whatever tools I want like knives, hammers, or chisels! So, I made va chisels to chisel out the va that are not chiselled to be more chiselled than un-chiselled va!

  Oh, shut u— wait? You’re still here? Miss Text, do you know how bored I am right now? This is basically torture! I have nothing to do other than this and I have no one to talk to! How do you expect me to act! At least, talk to me! Occasionally! … Please?

  … P L E A S E ?

  … no?

  … ok…

  .

  .

  .

  Many hours passed and the night truly never ends. It seems like the suns are really gone. I also saw a very big and round object floating in the sky at some times as well but the light is so faint I can’t make out any of the details. I guess that object is the gas giant in question. I wonder how big it is? It blocked like… uh… half the sky…

  … Dude, that gives me megalophobia… people inherently have a fear of giant incomprehensible things… right?

  Anyhow, tada! I made a … uh… some kind of building that looks like a staircase pyramid… What is it called again? A cigarette pyramid? No wait, that sounds asinine… But it’s something -rat -rat pyramid. Why? Because it’s structurally strong. I tried making something like a house but the molten rocks took a bit too long to cool down so it ended up becoming just a pile of rock lump…

  Now, when I finished making the pyramid foundation, I tried to create a separate viewpoint that I think is at the size of a normal human to walk around inside it like a video game camera. You know what, I’ll just call it POV camera and my default viewpoint the overview camera for ease of use.

  So, I had fun flying with the POV camera for a while but when I decided that I wanted to sculpt the inside a bit, more often than not, a gigantic hand, my hand, just flew upward and destroyed almost half the pyramid…

  … Ugh, now my cigarette pyramid is in ruins!

  After that accident, I tried to focus on making smaller hands to come out and… it’s quite hard. The precision I need for controlling it is much like how I tried to will the va to become more detailed things.

  Well, imagine if you’re a human trying to build a model house. If the house is quite big, you can move pieces quite precisely without special tools but once the scale of the model house becomes a miniature, good luck trying to assemble pieces precisely with your fat fingers!

  The solution? It’s… easier than I thought I would admit that I somehow overlooked it for a long time. Or perhaps, I just didn’t think about it?

  Make a humanoid body I can house my POV camera and directly control it…

  Yeah, I’m an idiot. Why didn’t I think about it? Just like making a game character to control it, I can make a molten rock puppet with roughly human shape and put my POV camera inside its head, then command it!

  It’s a pusible idea even if I don’t think there is a difference between just putting my POV camera somewhere random and pulling va from below to control it but… hey, it SOMEHOW worked!

  Once I mold the va into roughly a human shape and put my POV camera inside it, some magic-psychic-glitchery things happened and that rough human shape became more refined and…

  “HOLY SHIT!?”

  That’s… me! No, it’s a molten rock version of me with fme spewing out of my hair and I’m glowing hard, but that’s definitely me! Even the exciming sound I instinctively shouted sounds like me with a modutor and reverb attached!

  With my overview camera that I did not put into the doll, what I saw is a girl made entirely out of va with fme spewing out everywhere. The literal fming hair she has is styled in a short and wild hair with a long rat tail hair flowing from it freely like some kind of shounen protagonist. Her stature is on a shorter side, 153 cm tall to be exact. She has good shape but her breasts are a bit cking… Its shape is exactly like my original body.

  You know what, describing my own appearance like that feels very humiliating. Just, why must my original body be so goddamn short! What, 153 cm is not that short? Come fight me, you damn utility poles!

  … Ok, after I jumped around in the doll body for a while, I went inside the now repaired chicken rack pyramid and began sculpting the inside to my heart content! I made some random patterns here and there, made a head of David here, and even drew a comic of my journey from when I first awakened to now for fun as well.

  However, after decorating the interior of the super jacked pyramid for a while, I got… bored, again. So I went outside and looked at the stars for a while… and maybe because I was TOO bored, I summoned my giant hand, grabbed my humanoid body, and threw it in the direction of the gas giant!

  … Of course, I hadn’t reached the gas giant. I only barely touched the edge of the thin atmosphere before starting dropping.

  “Wait… what… what the…?”

  When I was going down, what I was seeing made me entirely speechless.

  From very high up, I looked down and just expected a sea of va. However, what I saw was worse.

  “... Is a pnet supposed to have its surface cracked enough that it looks like the world is ending?”

  I asked that question to no one. What I saw is that this pnet that I am on is cracking very hard. The cracks are deep enough that I even see lights coming out of the gigantic cracks, supposedly that’s the mantle, and there are pieces of debris floating at the far end of the pnet as well.

  SPLASP!

  As my mind stopped working trying to make sense of what I saw, my body plummeted into the sea of va below and spshed like I hit water.

  After a while, my body climbed out of the sea of va, stood up, and looked in the direction of the nearest crack, wondering why in the heck that before I even started doing anything worthwhile, the world was already ending…
