There are just as many of those to discover.

@System

It’s not the same once you get to this scale. Once you realize the scope of not only the size and number of people in Existence, but also the sheer amount of time that things have actually... Existed, I guess. It’s hard to feel like you’re the first for anything.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Is the uncertainty where the adventure is? And does it have to be something that grand?

@System

It’s a sense of going somewhere no one has gone before. Explorers of less developed worlds get that kind of feeling. They’re not just discovering new things to themselves, but the things they’re discovering are new to the entire known world. That kind of novelty is lost when you get to where we are now.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I would imagine... though I can't say I know firsthand what that's like.

@System

I’ve never experienced it. At this point I even understand travel between entire existences is possible so I don’t know how far the boundary for that can be stretched.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Isn't the adventure in where you go, not how you get there?

@System

Well yeah but there is an extra charm to that initial wave of understanding. A sense of awe from knowing you’ve only just tapped into something greater.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Referring to them, not you?

@System

Yeah. I was born after it was normalized so I grew up just kind of accepting it as a normal thing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Shrugs*
Still plenty of worlds to explore. The method of travel is normal, though.

@System

It’s like when people learned the earth isn’t flat, or that there’s life not just on your own planet. It’s big step.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Is it less fresh now?

@System

Well yeah, it’s so normalized now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

The kinds of adventures those two must have had...

@System

Back when the world was so fresh that interdimensional travel was a concept barely explored.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I'd think he has good stories to tell.

@System

He does. A lot from back in the days he and Dad ran around together.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Is he blood-related?

@System

Yeah. Mom's brother.
