Leah let out a deep sigh after hearing the bandits tell their stories. Partly due to the fact that their backgrounds were even worse than she had imagined, but also because, based on how they described their experiences, their memories were built on events they had actually lived through. That realization came as a shock to Leah. She paused for a moment to organize her thoughts on the matter...

First, the world within the game was vast. Evidently the world had been procedurally generated using a random map creation algorithm, left to run automatically over several years to fill out the map and the objects that populated it. But if that generation process meant that the game also seamlessly simulated each living creature’s life from birth to death individually, it would require the use of AI on an improbably large scale.

Even if the number of life-forms equipped with sentience-level AI existed at a far lower density than on Earth, and even if they were locked in a constant struggle for territory with far larger, more powerful, and less intelligent creatures, that still meant the world itself required several billion complex AIs running in parallel.

Just how many people would it take to create proper backstories and memories for that many AI entities? And just how difficult would it be to take those billions of backgrounds and create a coherent, consistent world where they all matched without glaring inconsistencies?

Realistically, that sort of project would be so labor intensive that it defied plausibility. No, if anything, it seemed far more realistic that the world’s population was created by running the rumored world simulator at several thousand times the speed of real time for several years before opening the game for service. The implication of that fact was a bit staggering: that would make the game more than a game—it would be an alternate world that existed solely in VR space.

This was all speculation on Leah’s part, as she was hardly an expert on this technology. It was possible that AI-teaching tools were also advanced enough to brute force the creation of such an intricate collection of AIs. It was an interesting question to ponder, but Leah had no way of knowing the right answer, whatever it ended up being. She set aside the question as irrelevant and moved on.

Leah decided to focus on the group of bandits—the four girls that lay in front of her. They all looked pitifully ragged. Their hair was wildly overgrown, and the fur on their ears and tails was matted and unkempt, appearing quite rough to the touch. All of them had similarly colored hair, but it was hard to tell if that was because they actually shared the same hair color or because the patina of grime left it all looking the same color.

Leah guessed their heights based on her brief tussle with each: Kelli seemed the tallest at around 170 centimeters; Riley was similar in height to Leah, so about 160 centimeters, and the younger pair were clearly smaller than other children of their age.
