The Hyper-Dimensional World Evolved Upon Game Completion!

Alright! That's the game cleared! Mugen was convinced of it.

Since all the monsters had been healed and had lost their will to fight, he was certain that this was the end.

However, the game did not end. It just wouldn't end.

Why? he wondered. When he looked at Shu-chan, she was smiling wryly.

Is there still some hidden catch...

With a feeling of 'it can't be helped,' Shu-chan began to explain.

Well, you see, Mugen-san, even I was surprised and moved by this, but to clear this game, having all the monsters lose their will to fight is not enough yet.

The condition for clearing this game is that you must completely satisfy the monsters and ensure they reach a state where they won't revert back, otherwise it won't end.

So that was it...

By the way, if you leave them in a state where they've just lost their will to fight, their monster instincts will start to creep back up again if you leave them alone.

Then, what can I do to prevent that from happening? Shu-chan.

That will happen if you, the player—that is, Mugen-san—heal all the monsters while your spiritual level is at the necessary and sufficient state.

If that's the case, does that mean my spiritual level wasn't at the necessary and sufficient state?

Well, in this instance, that is what it boils down to...

Wait, what do you mean 'in this instance'? The game is still going on, right?

That's right, it is continuing. Therefore, Mugen-san, you need to raise your spiritual level from here on out.

When you say 'raise it,' how exactly am I supposed to do that?

Well, in your case, Mugen-san, you're lucky, or perhaps I should say, you're different from ordinary people in that you can separate your own clones. If you separate the degraded clones, I think you'll probably reach the necessary and sufficient state. Probably, anyway.

Is that so... I just need to transfer the degraded ones to another world...

That's just a theory until you try it, since I'm not the creator of this game...

But you've already been playing this for quite a long time, haven't you?

That's right, I've been playing for about 500,000 years.

Then, Shu-chan, how did you clear this game?

Well, you see, there is no set way to clear this game. Basically, you just have to sincerely satisfy all the monsters and yourself, and make that state permanent to clear it.

By the way, I cleared it by having one of my clones accompany every single monster and lovingly caring for them from the time they were small and weak, but it seems there are many other ways to clear it as well.

I heard some people even cleared it by casting a special illusion that completely satisfies all the monsters and themselves.

I see... That certainly makes it incredibly deep...

Yes, this time I chose the Heal spell and equipped it for you too, Mugen-san, but each player can also come up with their own skills, spells, and items to bestow upon themselves.

I see, that's amazing... So, does that mean anything goes when it comes to clearing it?

Well, I suppose that's what it boils down to. In any case, as long as you sincerely satisfy everyone, including yourself, and make that state last forever, you pass.

Hmm, hmm... Mugen thinks to himself.

When you put it that way, it's quite profound.

Anything goes, huh... Mugen gazes into the distance.

Well, perhaps it's fine for any means to be acceptable as long as they achieve a desirable goal for everyone...

Well, the good thing about games is that you're allowed to fail, so I can see why people would want to try all sorts of things... he thinks, reflecting on Shu-chan, who seems to be hooked on this game.

In reality, if you fail, you might end up in the school of 'you reap what you sow,' so it might be a good thing to be able to learn from games like this... he thinks.

By the way, it seems the game is equipped with a force-quit button and a save button, just in case.

However, it seems that if you abuse them too much, they might become unusable for a certain period of time.

I see... It's a well-made game... Mugen is impressed.

That said, just being impressed won't clear the game.

It seems I have to somehow raise my spirituality.

So, Mugen began separating his degraded clones, like Aho-taro, and sending them to other worlds that seemed safe.
When he told them to go play in a safe world for a while, the degraded Aho-taros were delighted.

They just wanted to play... It seems they didn't really like games with such high difficulty levels.

Well, Mugen thinks that as they play around in various worlds, they will gradually grow.

He even thinks that, in the first place, it should be a world where everyone can continue to play freely.

That is why Mugen hates that whole 'soul study' thing or whatever it is.

However, if it is study to realize a world where everyone can continue to enjoy themselves and play freely from the heart, then that is a slightly different story.

To hell with soul study for the sake of being controlled by someone else, but if it is study to be able to freely choose and enjoy one's own experiences solely by one's own will, he would actually want to do it.

In that sense, this game matched Mugen's wishes quite well.

Once that happened, Mugen suddenly became motivated, thinking, 'Well then, what shall I do...'

As he separated the degraded clones, Mugen's expression gradually changed. He became dignified.

The traces of Aho-taro, who would sloppily laugh 'Hehehe...', had vanished.

He also had the wild instinct-driven Taro-kun separated.

He had kept him living with him thinking he might grow if educated, but since he wouldn't grow at all and only followed his instincts, he thought he wasn't suitable for this place.

Mugen continued to separate his clones that he felt were unsuitable in that way.

He had become quite slim.

He kept Ama-taro, who is sweet to everyone. He thought he would probably be necessary for this game.

However, thinking that wouldn't be enough, he also kept a scholar-type clone. He is the situation analysis officer.

He also kept an observer clone. He is a staff officer who overlooks the whole situation and gives advice on command.

After that, he kept all the clones of the new world creator team that everyone could be satisfied with. They are absolutely indispensable.
He also summoned members who were still creating new worlds in the Hyper-Dimensional Castle.
He also summoned clones who were researching how to create an ideal world while treasure hunting for wonderful experiences in groups of restrictive worlds.

The consciousnesses of the avatars, each with their own unique personality, separated and then merged again to become a different type of integrated consciousness.

It's like a conscious combination robot that can transform into various forms... Mugen says with a wry smile.

Well, it's about time to give it a try...

During this time, almost no time had passed. Mugen had accomplished that task in an instant.

Before his eyes were monsters whose mentality was gradually deteriorating.

It seems they will attack again once the deterioration rate reaches about 90%.

Right now, the deterioration rate is only about 10%, so it should be fine.

They are quite docile...

However, the problem is how to satisfy them... Just losing their will to fight won't clear the game no matter how much time passes.

Besides, Mugen himself must also be in a state where he can be satisfied. This is a high level of difficulty...

But Mugen had quite a bit of confidence. After all, he has seen various dramas of countless experiencers in countless worlds. He knows almost exactly what it takes for the experiencers—that is, the monsters—and himself to be truly satisfied.

Well, since they are game monsters, I don't know if that understanding will apply, but if it doesn't, I have enough confidence to think that the game's specifications are wrong. I must show the results of the lessons I received at the Hyper-Dimensional Experience Library here.

Mugen takes out the item 'Autonomy of Complete Experience,' a prized sword that can heal every world, from his item box.

He uses enchantment magic to imbue this panacea that saves all worlds with the skill Infinite Heal.

He borrowed the MP from the boss character and its children.

However, just to be safe, Mugen's select avatars additionally imbue them with private worlds from the Hyper-Dimensional Castle using enchantment magic. He grants a standalone, completely satisfying private world to all the monsters and himself.

He also adds a theatrical experience circle game that can be played with full consent. For good measure, he additionally grants the Akio Dungeon, which offers every desired experience from the Hyper-Dimensional Grand Amusement Park. Finally, he also grants the blueprint for an ideal world written in a restrictive society, even though it is still incomplete.

I think this should be enough to grant.

I want to settle this in one blow, as it would be troublesome if they revived in a strange way...

An extra-large Infinite Heal magic circle begins to be drawn in the sky...

The MP gauge is rising...

With a sudden, intense flash, the infinite heal magic exploded at maximum MP!

The heal magic unfolded in the sky like fireworks, raining down upon the earth as a torrential downpour of healing...

Every single monster was struck by the heal magic... It was gentle... It felt so pleasant every time it touched them...

The degradation rate of the monsters dropped to zero... And then it began to hit negative values...

The monsters began to transform into whatever forms they pleased on their own...

There were handsome men, beautiful women... and birds, too...

It seems that because the various images I imbued with enchantment magic were images of humanoids, that is how they turned out.

The monsters became free. They were completely liberated from the shackles of being a monster race...

They no longer thought of themselves as monsters... They had the self-awareness that they were experiencers, and that they were beings who could freely choose their own experiences.

And they even possessed a firm will to obtain complete autonomy over their experiences and to offer that right to all other experiencers...

Some monsters were enjoying themselves in their own private, standalone worlds. Others had spontaneously started an acting circle, as if saying 'come join me,' among the monsters—no, among the transformed humanoids. Since I had also granted them links to the Hyper-Dimensional Experience Library, everyone began pulling out the dramas and scenarios they desired from the library and enjoying them... Even Mugen hadn't known, but the Hyper-Dimensional Experience Library contained a vast collection of such select scenarios and dramas that were popular among experiencers. It seems they had spotted them with a keen eye.

Something outrageous was happening... It had already happened...

Mugen had not expected that things would go that far. After all, he had thought, this is just a game...

The game was certainly cleared with that. Everyone danced Maimu Maimu together happily, a fanfare played, and they heard the telepathic message that the game was cleared.

However... Mugen had a gut feeling that something had happened that wouldn't just end there.

Shu-chan, for one, had started crying...

She was looking at Mugen with a look of tearful laughter.

Sensing that Mugen was beginning to feel uneasy because he didn't understand what had happened, Shu-chan wiped away her tears and began to explain.

You see, Mugen-san, this room without time is connected to the hyper-dimensional world. In other words, what happened here changes the entire hyper-dimensional world.

The hyper-dimensional world changes according to everyone's spirit and will.

You see, while this is certainly a created game... in the hyper-dimensional world, games and reality are the same thing.

In other words, what you provided has now been given to every experiencer in the hyper-dimensional world.

Huh? Is that so?

That's right. Of course, here, everyone is free to choose whether or not to accept what is given, and while the content of what is given may sometimes be similar, it is rare for the spirituality within it to be exactly the same, so a new choice of experience has now been added to this world.

Originally, the right to self-determination of experience is provided in the hyper-dimensional world, but the nuance is a little different from the right to self-determination of experience that you, Mugen-san, imagined.

It's like ramen that has the same name but a different taste. Even if it's called miso ramen, it tastes different if the creator or the ingredients are different, right?

I see... I had no idea at all... thought Mugen.

It's fine, everyone is happy. I never thought that this would be my first game and that I would see such a way to clear it. Thank you, Mugen-san.

Mugen felt embarrassed to be thanked by Shu-chan.

No, I mean... it's strange to be thanked for a game...

That's why I'm telling you, this isn't a game in the hyper-dimensional world.

Mugen's reorganized avatars felt a little proud.

Only Amataro was innocently overjoyed...
