Bab 629: 629. Ainz's past
Slowly, Alexander felt that Ainz was getting too emotional in his storytelling as he got faster and faster speaking.
"At the beginning of the twenty-second century, with the collapse of the primary-sector industries due to advanced environmental destruction and the drying up of crops, there were food riots in all corners of the world. The riots eventually turned into a coup d'etat, and when the politicians were targeted by the people's discontent, they were tried by the mob French revolution style.
"Into the power vacuum left by the halt of government functions, due to the coup d'etat, came the huge conglomerates, which seized the legislative, executive, and judicial powers. They succeeded in taking over countries around the world.
"But the ones who caused the environmental destruction in the first place were the huge conglomerates. If they had protected the environment, there wouldn't have been food shortages or riots. Looking at it that way, it seemed like the world was being manipulated by the conglomerates for a long time. We humans brought our own doom by playing right into their hands.
"Meanwhile, those in the conglomerates had taken refuge in complete environmental cities called arcologies. So arcologies ended up becoming states with cities built around them. At certain times for various reasons, arcologies went to war with one another. But even then, only the poor died.
"The government had basically ceased functioning, and police remained only in name. Naturally, public safety worsened, and gangs of thieves and hackers operated in the open, but society as a whole wasn't actually thrown into chaos because that was how the rich made money. Most people quietly commuted to an office and put in their hours.
"Employees were treated cruelly, but they never complained, and almost no one rebelled against their administration. The reason they didn't was that anyone who revolted against their company would have been unable to survive in that world.
"After the huge conglomerates took over the countries, under the pretext of "getting public expenditure under control," the compulsory education system was dismantled but their true aim was robbing the poor of their ability to think.
"Parents who wanted their children to be able to get a halfway decent job still sent them to school but it wasn't easy for the poor to scrape together tuition. There were many who bent over backwards and ruined their health working to pay for it. Really, elementary education shouldn't have cost that much, but prices soared because the wealthy wanted to rob the poor of educational opportunities. It was a cycle of hellish life you couldn't get out of even if you wanted to.
"People who graduated from elementary school had at least a minimum level of knowledge, which they used as a gear in the system to get a job. That was the definition of success if one was considered to be poor financially.
"The poor ate mostly supplements and processed food designed with only nutrition delivery in mind because it had gotten difficult to acquire fresh meat or vegetables. The reason DMMO-RPGs became so popular in the twenty-second century was due partially to how interesting the games were, but another reason was probably that so many people wanted to escape their hopeless reality. To players, the DMMO-RPG was not an "alternate" reality, it had already replaced the real world.
"However, these games, which players turned to for support, were also developed by affiliates of the huge conglomerates. But nobody cared about such things anymore.
"I was an elementary school graduate and salaryman who lived alone in a broken-down apartment. Because I did not have any real family or friends to support me, I dedicated my whole life to the DMMO-RPG, YGGDRASIL, and just my guild. My life was an endless cycle of going to the office to work. I had often seen kids who had just graduated elementary school working alongside me on the job.
"We were just like mindless robots. Being used by the rich and if you raised your voice, you will die of hunger or by the wealthy by some other way. Humans stopped caring about each other long ago and so did I. My only escape was the video game YGGDRASIL.
"When I arrived in this world, I did not know if this was all real or not. Even though everything looked real, I was still cursed with this senseless body. I can not feel touch, taste or some other wide variety of emotions. I eventually started acting like the undead overlord that I was.
"But alas, after spending some time. I learned that this world is not much different from my old one. But mind that I don't find pleasure in killing humans and don't go out of his way to kill innocent ones just to do it.
"Now my goal is to make a world where every race and species is completely equal. Where tragedies no longer occur, where wars don't happen, and no more genocide occurs. This all is because I want to honour the memory of my friends and create a world they would praise me for creating. So I'm ready to become an Undying Immortal, ruthless but just and fair King to accomplish this goal. And I'll do nearly anything, as long as it doesn't hurt my former NPC's or Nazarick itself."
Alexander heard to Ainz's rambling this whole time. He was seriously horrified by the world Ainz was from. He wondered that if he had left all the earths he knew as they were, they too would have become like this in the future?
But Alexander was still not buying Ainz's all reasoning. The reason was his sins.
||Ainz Ooal Gown(Suzuki Satoru) - Category 4
Murder - 151,546(70% sinners)
Indirect Murder - 200,568
Kidnapping - 546
Torture - 698
Sin Percentage - 71%||
By normal sense, this kind of sin percentage was in no way normal. Alexander would send Category 4 to eternal hell. But, he was also a bit confused. Can a person who grew up in a society of immorality and ignorance be held to the same standards as that of a human from normal earth? Maybe if this Ainz had lived in a good world and lived in a loving family he might not have committed all these sins.
So who is the real sinner in this case? The one who committed these crimes or what led to him committing these crimes, his previous world.
Finally, after thinking for 1 whole minute, he decided what he was going to give him as a punishment.
"So you want to create an utopia, right? But what if your companions are the threat to that utopia? Where will your priority be? Who would you side with?" Alexander asked.
"I know that as long as people don't give them a reason to harm them, they won't do it. I can also command them not to hurt people and my words are of the highest priority to them," Ainz justified. Though he didn't really mean it because he knew there were some rebellious elements in his subordinates. But his punishment would make him seriously control his people's wild behaviours.
