Background

The Chosen Space recruits qualified individuals as Chosen Players, offering them the possibility of fulfilling wishes, repairing regrets, surpassing themselves, and acquiring things once limited to fantasy. Its stated prerequisite is survival: players must explore dungeons, discover rules, defeat monsters, and complete missions to remain alive 1.

Its reach spans multiple spacetime dimensions rather than a single world. Players may originate from entirely different realities and races, including native elves and dwarves from worlds without electronic games 27 194. Death within a dungeon results in death in the player’s original reality 2.

After clearing the Novice Trial, players gain access to Space Island, the Space’s central hub, where they can rest, trade, prepare for future missions, and return to reality 27 29.

Functions & Rules

Dungeon Construction and Quest Assignment

The Space constructs dungeon instances from game blueprints, then modifies them through scenario-specific rules, difficulty ratings, and Dungeon Modifiers. In the Demon World Village Novice Trial, it assigned both a timed team Main Quest and an optional solo Side Quest, with rewards based on completion and contribution 1.

• Dungeon difficulty is ranked from E through S, with + and - variations for dynamic adjustment 1.
• Main Quests, Side Quests, Bounty Missions, faction objectives, and special quests may all coexist within one dungeon 1 100 316.
• Main Quests can be abandoned rather than forcing unavoidable annihilation; the Space generally warns players away from information or actions it considers premature instead of immediately punishing them 314.
• Players must undertake a monthly Chosen Trial during the latter part of each month. Higher player ranks receive more advance information about these trials 32 62.

Player Digitization and Chosen Marks

Upon entry, the Space digitizes players’ bodies and grants each a Chosen Mark, which provides access to their personal panels 1.

• The mark may appear as a phone application, augmented-reality display, ring projection, or tattoo display depending on the player 2.
• Personal panels record attributes, talents, skills, equipment, wealth, status effects, and other character data 2.
• The four standard attributes are Strength, Agility, Spirit, and Charisma 7 18.
  • Strength governs physical attack, HP, self-healing, carrying capacity, and damage resistance 7.
  • Agility governs attack speed, movement speed, reaction time, and dynamic vision 18.
  • Spirit governs magical power, MP, mana recovery, and magic resistance 18.
  • Charisma affects NPC reputation, summon control, communication, and persuasion 18.

Loot, Equipment, and Settlement

The Space determines what qualifies as legitimate dungeon loot. An item carried by a monster has no special properties for a player unless it becomes a recognized drop item 8.

• Only equipment placed in active equipment slots and items stored in the player inventory can normally be brought out during settlement 26.
• Players may sell ineligible or excess loot directly to the Space during settlement or permitted exploration periods 26.
• Dungeon settlements archive player experiences, replay major actions, distribute rewards, and determine return eligibility 26 59.
• Actions taken within a dungeon can influence future related scenarios. A player who kills allies may carry that altered save-state into later connected worlds 26 49.
• Normal items cannot freely cross between reality and the Chosen Space after the Novice Trial; Soul Equipment is the principal exception for bringing Space-created equipment into reality 183.

Space Island

Space Island is the Chosen Space’s primary safe zone. Its Central Plaza is the first destination for players leaving their Personal Space after passing the Novice Trial 29.

• Players may communicate with both players and NPCs without language barriers within Space Island 29.
• Each player receives a customizable Personal Space with protected access, unrestricted storage, and available services such as item recycling, repairs, and equipment enhancement 27.
• The island supports player stalls, trading facilities, auctions, quest halls, and other player-built spaces 27 241.
• Players may pay to alter their displayed appearance, race, gender, height, and other superficial traits while on Space Island 32 45.
• A player who dies in a dungeon or reality loses their stored possessions and generates relics according to the current rules 27.

Narrative Adaptation and World Management

The Space does not keep every dungeon permanently fixed. It gradually opens new blueprints as time passes and the player population grows 242.

• Limited stories and exclusive dungeons can be triggered by individual players; unlike hidden stories, they cannot be repeated by others while the original triggerer remains alive 9.
• It can designate NPCs as Unique and Origin individuals, preventing them from existing as ordinary repeatable dungeon copies 302.
• Following Cheng Tian’s perfect clear of Ys: Origin, the Space separated that dungeon from its original system, elevated Fina and Leya into Unique Origin individuals, and made them administrators associated with Order, Freedom, and the resulting Twin Towers 304.
• The Space accepted Cheng Tian’s modification proposals and created the Black and White Twin Towers as a fixed challenge facility in the northern training area 302 303.

Oversight and Rule Enforcement

The Space permits player ingenuity but enforces consequences where it considers them necessary.

• Moderate exploitation of beneficial bugs is tolerated as player skill, provided it does not create severe harmful effects 244.
• During post-settlement free exploration, players who overstay may face penalties including lost currency, reduced attributes, sealed skills, or reduced future income 26.
• The Space may decline inquiries with “No comment,” signaling that a subject is not currently appropriate for player access 314.
• It prevents conventional friendly-fire abuse in certain scenarios, such as Novice Trials, where killing other players yields no benefit and reduces future rewards 1.

Major System Developments

Black and White Twin Towers

After accepting Cheng Tian’s proposals concerning the independent Ys: Origin dungeon, the Space created two monthly challenge towers 302 303.

Facility	Challenge Type	Primary Reward
Twin White Tower	Consecutive one-on-one battles against strengthened Boss units previously encountered by the challenger	Points exchangeable for treasure chests and selectable reward ranges 303
Twin Black Tower	Escalating monster-tide battles using non-Boss units from prior dungeons	Soul Fragments for consumables, buffs, and fixed enhancement materials 303

• Each tower can be challenged once per month with its corresponding non-tradable ticket 303.
• Tower challenges do not impose true death, making them a controlled environment for combat practice, revenge against past Bosses, and stress relief 303.
• Progress is displayed through historical and monthly leaderboards divided by player rank 303.

Independent Factions and Great Expeditions

When Cheng Tian seized the Martian Mothership Battle Fortress, the Space recognized him as the leader of an independent faction with authority to accommodate NPC units, become an optional faction for players, and issue faction-related quests 637.

• Summoning the Mothership establishes the owner as an independent faction within an eligible dungeon 637.
• Recognized factions can receive Great Expedition missions: high-difficulty, long-duration operations with generous rewards that do not raise personal player ratings 643.
• Players who witnessed the faction’s founding received an opportunity to join as founding members with elevated permissions 643.
• After Cheng Tian named his force the Scorching Sun Legion, the Space added Legion Recruitment Trial missions to the quest system 645.

Relationships

• Chosen Players — recruits them from multiple dimensions, digitizes their bodies, assigns missions, administers rewards, and governs their survival within dungeons 1 2.
• NPCs and dungeon natives — can preserve them as repeatable dungeon entities, elevate them into Unique Origin individuals, or permit their recruitment into player factions under specific rules 302 633 637.
• Cheng Tian — answers some of his direct applications, adopted portions of his Ys: Origin proposals, and recognized his Independent Faction after he acquired the Martian Mothership 302 637.
• Fina and Leya — granted Unique and Origin states after the perfect clear of Ys: Origin; they became official administrators of the Black and White Twin Towers and the concepts of Order and Freedom 304.
• Scorching Sun Legion — formally recognizes it as an Independent Faction, provides recruitment trials, and may compel its members to participate in Great Expedition missions 643 645.
