Although on a cliff, the cabin was warm with table lamps illuminating its interior. There were all sorts of lamps with varying colors, some of them even shaped as crying faces. As Robert saw Arthur staring at them, he chuckled before throwing some clothes over them.
"A man picks up the oddest habits on his travels, but fate wanted me to love lamps, because all my wives loved them," said the middle-aged man as he navigated between the furniture while gesturing for Arthur to follow. "Please consider this as your home."
"You are very kind, sir," said Arthur, making Robert trip over something and fall down. As he hurried to help him stand, Robert found himself waving his hand frantically, his face flushed.
To summarize the info dumps for those who can't bother understanding the main points about Robert and his studies, just read these points:
1. World Split: At an unspecified point in the past, the world divided into two separate realms or worlds. These are labeled as Earth (a lower realm) and Alka (a higher realm).
2. Time Flow Discrepancy: Time moves at different rates in each realm. Time flows slower in the higher realm (Alka) compared to the lower realm (Earth). Specifically, one day in Alka equals 0.0416666666666666666 day (approximately one hour) in Earth.
3. Temporal Gap Accumulation: Due to this time discrepancy, there is a continuous time gap accumulation between the two realms. For every day passing in Alka, Earth moves one hour ahead. This temporal gap has been accumulating since the split, resulting in a significant time difference.
4. Specific Time Calculation: The precise difference between the realms was calculated down to the exact second, estimated to be around 150 years in total temporal discrepancy.
5. Temporal Event: The split occurred around three thousand years ago. This event divided the world into smaller Alka and larger Earth, sending Alka to a higher realm. This discrepancy implies that time in Alka passed much slower than on Earth during these three thousand years.
6. Realm Safety and Mana: The split and realms' positioning might have been intentional for safety reasons, with Earth being considered safer due to less abundant mana in lower realms like Earth.
