Log Horizon - ep14

Now with it seems that they are using Regan to transition into the second season of Log Horizon. While the first season was about dealing with the unrest that the apocalypse caused, the second season is going to revolve around bring a resolution to the world of Eldar Tale. That in this conversation with Regan, we gain a bit a incite from the prospective of how the NPC view their world. This is convey by first talking about different class of magic, this gets us to world magic that can rewrite the laws of their universe. That to them this world magic has been invoked three times.

The first time was by the elv's for the sake of getting their revenge against the world's races for destroying them. In a way they got their revenge by throwing the world into the dark age by creating monsters, but for the players perspective this is the creation of re-spawning monsters. This is a problem for the races of this world because no matter how many times they are kill they will still rise again. The later through an act of god the second world class magic was invoke summoning the adventure to this world. This happen 250 years ago for them, this ends up creating a bit of a time shift for the players. The to further illustrate this shift, by defining that Shiroe first appearance in there history 98 years ago. That would equate out to about 8 years. Then this leads to the issue of the third use of this world magic which to the adventures is what they call the Apocalypse.

Now that he finished the explanation of the three uses of this magic, this give us incite into how their world is made from their perspective. It get into the issue of the adventures resurrecting, and how it is related to the monsters re-spawning. That every-time a player is kill the lose a bit of their experience when they are resurrected back at the temple. This wasn't a problem before when their physical self and their avatar were separate entities. However now they they are united as one, this means that dieing now will cause you to lose some of your memories maybe to a point were you are unable to remember the world they originally came from. In the end it would make Eldar Tale their reality, although it is unclear on how much is lost when someone dies but that doesn't change the fact that they will lose part of themselves when they die. The question is how will this truth effect their reality, and it seems that this world magic is necessary from them to return to their true lives outside this game.
