Prologue
The Veil of Darkness
A quiet city enveloped in the calm of the night. The stars softly illuminate the darkness of the sky, their gentle light seemingly soothing the bustling noise of the city below. Many people, caught up in the busyness of their daily lives, see only the surface of the world around them. Yet, in cafés and parks, bathed in the faint glow of the night, some find small joys in life, taking a moment to relax.
However, beneath this peaceful surface, there are those who seek the truth. One such person is Satoshi Koizumi, a physicist who is passionate about unraveling the mysteries of the universe. His love for science began when, as a child, his mother told him he could choose any book he wanted. The books that caught his eye were one about the mysteries of the universe and another about the wonders of the human body. These books opened the door to the unknown, capturing his heart.
One day, just as he left his lab, a strange figure appeared before him. With eyes that seemed to glow blue and clothing that looked as though it came from another world, this person spoke to him in a calm, intellectual voice.
“What you see before you is only a fraction of the whole. The choices of fate have already begun. But it may take some time before you realize it.”
Those words etched themselves deeply into Satoshi’s mind. Little did he know that this encounter would be the catalyst for a dramatic change in his destiny.
Masato Matsuda, a psychiatrist and Satoshi’s childhood friend, was known for his calm insights, always offering Satoshi fresh perspectives. Their seemingly ordinary conversations would eventually become the key to unlocking great mysteries, guiding them toward deeper enigmas. This strange occurrence would forge bonds with new companions, and each of their unique areas of expertise would serve as keys to unraveling the mysteries of the story.
Thus begins the tale, “The Pursuers of Truth in a World of Deception: Memories of Another World and the Mysteries of Science.” The story unfolds with high-stakes battles between advanced AIs and the daily life in another world, offering a variety of intriguing developments.
On this journey, Satoshi encounters biologists, quantum mechanics experts, astrophysicists, and more. His interactions with these figures bring him new perspectives and insights. As their knowledge intertwines, the door to the truth slowly opens, leading the story into uncharted territory.
When they finally grasp the truth, its weight far exceeds their expectations. The unknown truth, along with the choices that come with it, will point them toward new paths in their lives.
Should they reveal the truth to the world, or should they remain silent? This decision will not only impact their own lives but could also determine the future of humanity itself. How they act after learning the truth—this is the ultimate theme of the story.
At that very moment when their adventure began, a strange light briefly flashed in the distant sky, only to quickly disappear. Satoshi, captivated by the sight, had no idea what it meant.
