Chapter Title: Shocking and Horrifying Newbie (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Shit, not hundreds of years ago, but tens of thousands? That's the Stone Age with stone axes, right? And you're saying they pulled off a genocide back then?
Whoa... This guy's exactly the kind of talent our alien-haters need.
Join the alien-hater squad, newbie. We welcome you.
Heard a cute newbie showed up, so I rushed over, and there's this butcher with a knife standing at the door lolololol
The alien-hater squad just sitting there dumbfounded is hilarious lololololol
Wanna know what's even scarier? He's talking about it like it's no big deal lololol
Looking back, yeah, he's totally casual about it, like he's talking about yesterday's lunch menu. Holy shit lolololol
In the Earth where the newbie came from, there are no human subspecies now, that's true.
But it seems like there weren't always none.
From what he said, in their history, Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and such coexisted but went extinct due to humanity.
I think if those species hadn't gone extinct, they'd have evolved into what we know as orcs, dwarves, elves.
Homo erectus → Orc
Homo neanderthalensis → Elf
Homo floresiensis → Dwarf
Probably something like that.
By the way, I majored in paleoanthropology in my previous life.
I'm not basing this on fossil data, so take it with a grain of salt, but the features of the Homo subspecies he described match a lot with the fossil data of ancient human subspecies I remember.
Considering no Earth so far has been completely free of human subspecies, my guess is probably right.
What a violent newbie we got lololololol
Humanity from the newbie's Earth seems like a warrior race. We've had folks who wiped out a species after centuries of war, but wiping out all subspecies tens of thousands of years ago? First time.
Something's off about this newbie. Feels like a big shot in the making lololol
I had high hopes when the newbie arrived, but humanity from his Earth seems to pursue outdated racial discrimination.
Can't say for sure yet, but our ethics might differ a lot.
I hope the next one comes from an egalitarian Earth without racial discrimination.
So, does that mean humans from the newbie's Earth have zero mixed blood with other species?
Probably, right?
No worries. If he goes around with racist talk, this lord will punish him personally.
The alien-hater squad just got one bigger again...
Posts about me kept rising to the popular ranks one after another.
I was just baffled by the whole situation.
No way, just some offhand comment from me caused this huge backlash?
The mood was turning weird.
Thinking I needed to clear things up, I posted something new.
Don't pin that on me like I did it ;;;
And isn't that level of slaughter just normal in human history?
It wasn't like Nazis or Japan with racist ideology planning massacres. It was just winning the food competition. Can you really blame that?
As expected from the descendant of slaughterers. His thought process is totally different from ours.
Shut your mouth, you filthy slaughterer!
Nazis or Japan? What do you mean they planned massacres?
Literally, they systematically massacred other ethnicities or nations. Gas chambers or making soap out of people.
Made what?
What? Soap?
?????????????????
You fucker, what bullshit are you spouting? How do you make soap out of people????
But the more I tried to clear up the misunderstanding, the worse it got.
Even the users who had been viewing me positively were now shocked at me.
Well, strictly speaking, it was more accurate to say they were shocked at humanity from my Earth.
But around here, that amounted to the same thing.
I was basically Earth's representative here.
Shit, not aliens, not human subspecies, but slaughtering fellow humans and making soap out of them?
Is the Earth that fucker came from really Earth? Or is it Hell?
Newbie, you got horns on your head or something?
No, fuck, I didn't do it! And in WWII, my country was the victim, you fucks...! The Chinese head-chopping contest was the Japanese!
?
What contest?
No, ugh... that's not...
The users' shock only grew with every attempt to explain, instead of dying down.
I tried clarifying for over an hour, but they had no interest in my explanations.
They were just dopamine-drunk, holding me collectively responsible and calling me a slaughterer.
Their blind labeling pissed me off a bit.
Yeah, fuck, you're all right.
I wiped out the ancestors of elves, orcs, dwarves to extinction.
I gassed 5 million Jews.
I killed over 50 million in Asia.
Happy now? Fuck, no matter how much I explain, you won't listen.
Where you live? Wanna die once?
No, sorry, please spare me.
lolololololololol
lolololololololol
lolololololololol
Whoa, first time seeing Roete tuck tail lolololol
Around then, the natives' newbie trolling started winding down.
Enough chit-chat.
I began seriously asking about what I was curious about.
I get that this is a different dimensional universe.
But I'm trapped in some weird spaceship right now?
Is this how everyone gets summoned to this world?
Yeah, we all started on a ship too.
Uh, yeah. How'd you know?
lolol We've seen plenty of newbies. Of course we know.
Oh, thanks! Gonna read it right now.
I thanked the kind community veterans and headed straight to check the notice.
★ Ataraxia ★, one of the community's Four Great Magistrates
Welcome to this world, everyone!
You're probably confused since you just got summoned, but to survive, there's a lot you need to do.
This post summarizes basic knowledge about this world and how to stabilize the ship you're on.
Memorize it well, secure your ship, and take your first step into space travel.
◎ What kind of universe is this?
◎ What is the spaceship I'm on?
◎ What are the monsters on the ship?
◎ Are there more people like me who were dragged here?
◎ Explain the ship.
◎ How to pilot the ship.
※ Click to expand.
I started clicking through the list one by one.
'So that's how it is.'
This universe I was dragged into.
The universe the community users call 'Alpha Universe' is a mystical world where science and magic coexist.
Like my universe, Alpha Universe is governed by Newton's laws and quantum mechanics.
But here, magic and monsters exist that defy those laws.
According to the guide, humans are understood as one such phenomenon.
All humans summoned to Alpha Universe go through the same situation.
A ship of unknown origin, filled with monsters.
Not just me—everyone who comes here faces the same thing.
Having grasped this, humanity devised a system to help 'newbies' summoned to Alpha Universe.
That's the community I'm using right now.
'So that's why the users were being nice to me?'
Of course, the users weren't showering me with goodwill for no reason.
Alpha Universe is filled with hostile aliens and eldritch horrors of cosmic power.
To survive here, more allies are always better.
'Makes sense. Logical reason.'
All anomalies possess at least one incomprehensible power.
Humanity is one such anomaly of Alpha Universe.
The guide says humanity's power is this ship.
But to claim that power, first clear out the monsters infesting the ship.
That's the first trial everyone summoned here faces.
Only those who pass it can claim the ship and begin their journey into infinite space.
Fortunately, veterans who've been through it have detailed strategies in the guide.
Now, my job is to prepare thoroughly and seize control of the ship.
Piece of cake.
Smash the monster boss's head, and the ship's mine?
Heading out now.
Why is this newbie such a madlad?
Does your neck pump adrenaline instead of blood?
Considering they wiped out human subspecies in prehistoric times, yeah, their adrenaline levels must be off the charts lolololol
Warm to humans... Ruthless to aliens...
Come over and help if you can?
Wanna, but can't without coordinates. Need the ship running for that, which means killing the boss first.
So no other way, huh.
I'd hoped for a shortcut, but no dice.
Only the straightforward way left.
*Click!*
I checked my firearms and ammo.
Secured about 800 rounds so far.
The community bros said that's plenty, so no need for more scavenging.
Before heading out, one last post.
I'll bring the boss's head as an appetizer before it gets cold.
That line is insane lololol This coming from a newbie? lolololol
Please come back alive!
Tell us when you get back. Everyone's dying to know.
Spirit's off the charts lolol No worries for you.
Worries? Should be worrying about the monsters lololol
Though a slaughterer, I hope you return alive.
More people cheered me on than I expected.
I found myself smiling at their encouragement as I took my first step.
