No Game No Life Nove Vol 6 Prologue

Prlogue

––– In my childhood, I had thought that the world was a very

simple existence.

Every compet.i.tion could be won by so ans, and just

putting in effort would reap its own rewards. Everything was

possible.

This was the ignorant and stupid thinking of a child.

Looking at the world with such pure and innocent eyes... is

this wrong?

...... Of course it is wrong......

............––––––––

In a narrow room illuminated by a dim light, a boy was holding

a chess piece. Only that boy was in the room.

But the boy was looking towards the depths of the darkness,

seriously thinking if there was so person there.

–––– What a ga... From my final a.n.a.lysis, this is just so

prank that so kids pulled here.

The boy was alone in the room. While imagining the strongest

absolute move, he placed the piece on the chessboard.

His way of thinking was as fixed as that of an infant who had

just beca sentient.

The outside of the room was filled with horror and anxiety...

Desperation was generated from the uncertainty of tomorrow,

which also made the nights even colder.

Only inside the room was it like a different world. Contrary to

the norm, the gloomy room had a strange temperature.

The boy was holding onto the piece while deep in thought.

––– Once anyone becos an adult, he will naturally alienate

himself from gas.

Why is that so? Did they beco obsolete?

Or is it that the world is so simple that it’ll never have gas?

Whatever the reason, once anyone becos an adult, he will

naturally alienate himself from gas.

But the boy never considered such a thing before.

He put the pieces back on the board again only after careful

consideration.

––– Alone by himself, he was a kid who was endlessly playing

gas.

Even if the people around him were to stare at him with strange

eyes as he grew up, the boy continued to play.

This was because the boy did not understand the aning

behind those strange eyes.

And also because [his opponent] would appear in the dark as

long as he closed his eyes.

[He] was almost the sa age as the boy, and wore similar

clothes... a fearless smile floated on his face.

––– ‘[He] is very strong’ was what the boy thought.

[He] was always better than the boy in the next move, and then

the outco would always be determined ––– as a definite

loss.

The boy had expected this as a matter of course. It looked as if

he had never won a single ti from the start.

This ––– battling against [him] ––– made the boy

incomparably happy.

The people in his surroundings would see that the boy was

always by himself, but in the boy’s eyes, there were actually

two people, and nothing more.

In the dark depths, he was wordless and silent.

He was only craving to make his next move superior to his last.

––– A more correct move... More excellent tactics! More indepth

strategies!!

[He] was happily shouting while he faced the boy in the depths

of darkness. The boy cast a likewise fearless smile.

...... The boy felt there was nothing wrong, even if he was

alone in the eyes of other people.

The world was pure and simple. If you don’t win, you lose.

Otherwise, it’s a tie and nothing more.

Then, regardless of the outco ––– even if it was always a

loss ––– the boy would be thinking of how to achieve his next

victory.

This was [the boy’s world].

But the [world] was rcilessly ravaging his [individual

world].

... Suddenly, the dark room was lit by a bright light. The boy

looked to the window.

It should have been a scarlet sight, but the dark night sky was

now sealed off by bright lights.

The boy shouted towards his parents, who had just rushed into

the room, and pulled him into their embrace. In his complete

and utter confusion, he saw [that].

It was like heaven and earth was being connected by that pillar

of light.

Looking to a blue face, while his parents were holding him and

shouting to ask what was going on, the boy reached out his

hand all of a sudden.

––– A winner has yet to be announced.

––– The boy hugged the board he used to battle in that

instant... and then...

When he looked up again, sothing which looked exactly like

a burning retina was about to collide head-on against him.

–––––––............

––– I see, the world never indeed had a ga so simple.

The boy woke up upon slling an extrely terrible odor.

Then, the boy finally understood the truth.

The boy’s arm was scorched. Unable to climb out of his

mother’s hold, he looked around his surroundings...

His five senses were unreasonably violated within the scene of

[his own world]

...

His mouth was full of fresh blood. His nose detected the sll

of charred flesh. His ears heard a silent abyss. His skin was

feeling a searing heat.

Then, his eyes saw that the world had changed dramatically.

He could not even find traces of the existence of life.

Rubble extended to the endless horizons, and dust floated over

the upturned ground. The boy then looked up at the sky.

The crimson sky looked as if it were about to fall. Its

‘destroyed’ state made flights intertwine.

It looked to be a selfish war between G.o.ds who did not place

others in their eyes.

This could not be counted as just a ‘falling out’.

Not only was the little world within the boy’s house wiped out

without a trace, so was everyone else’s worlds.

... So this is what’s happening. Indeed, there is no simpler

ga in the world.

Because there were no rules to follow... Because there was no

jurisdiction, there was nothing that sanctioned violators of

others’ rights.

But, up to this point––––

Suddenly, standing in front of the boy through a tear of smoke

was a figure that

had landed at the top of the rubble.

The figure did not care for the boy... inadvertently.

The figure had truly and only inadvertently noticed the other’s

gaze.

––– The boy stared at the destroyers who took away his

everything, and thought,

Yeah, humanity isn’t even considered as ‘players’ in [their]

eyes.

His own... Humanity’s world was just so easily destroyed into

nothing but dust.

Though it was through the explosions of flas and dust...

Though the figure could barely be recognized under such

circ.u.mstances... “............––––––––”

After confirming that their eyes had t, the boy turned his

back on her, and took his first step.

Ignoring the feeling that his back was being watched, he

advanced far away––– far away to an eternally distant location,

in order to live on.

The boy was gripping his board with so much force that it

might have snapped. On that day, the boy beca an [adult].

This world was chaotic, and there were no necessities in it. But,

it was full of opportunities.

There is no reason, and no plan, so it must be aningless.

To create a room, that does not exist anywhere else, for a child

to play around in

–––

The long-lasting "war" tore the sky and earth asunder and

obliterated the stars.

Arisen from the battle was the [position of the Sole G.o.d] –––

the absolute right to dominate over the world. It was over six

thousand years ago...

In this world, the G.o.d who won without fighting ––– Tet, had

set [Ten Oaths].

Violence is forbidden, all conflicts are to be determined by

gas ––– in Disboard, a board atop the world.

In a city on the Ruus.h.i. a continent, a continent in such a world,

Elchea, capital of the Elchea "Provisional Federation
