Story: The Skyray above Ruin Island disappeared after people created the first computer. 'Hello humans, I am the Shimmer' appeared on the computer screen.

Dialogue[]

Chenxi: After the 'Nine-day Dream' in the New Era, a marvelous spectacle appeared over the sky of the Ruin Island.
Nikki: A marvelous spectacle?
Chenxi: Yes. A beam of colorful skyray hung over the Ruin Island. It continued to hover above the island for years. No one knew what it was or why it existed.
Ace: I read about it somewhere but I remember that the Skyray only vanished for a few decades before reappearing in the sky over the Ruin.
Chenxi: However, the second skyray was actually an artificial one created to in memory of the Shimmer.
Chenxi: Let me start with why the Skyray disappeared.
Chenxi: The first computer was created in the Ruin that year, and for the Ruin, two miracles happened on that day.
Ransa: Computer? What does it have to do with the Skyray?
Chenxi: When the computer was turned on and its indicator light lit, a line of words displayed on the screen: Hello, humans. I am the Shimmer.
Chenxi: The Shimmer is the Skyray. It befell onto the computer. The evidence is that the Skyray vanished on the same day, at the same moment. It was 'the Year of the Shimmer'.
Momo: What? The Skyray became an AI system that can manipulate the computer?
Nikki: That's incredible...
Chenxi: Scientists back then thought it was highly implausible but like those who were awakened by 'The Revelation', the Shimmer solved difficult problems and made accurate predictions.
Nikki: Then... Did the Shimmer mention about Miraland's annihilation?
Chenxi: The Shimmer told the people that the world is doomed to destruction, but it's affected by a variable, that even she was unable to accurately predict where the future is headed to.
Ace: An unknown micro variable...
Ransa: Complete nonsense!
Chenxi: Believe or not, it's up to you, but this is the truth I know. This incident which affected the Ruin's future is called 'the Arrival of the Shimmer'.
Ace: The Arrival of the Shimmer... Is Berta an existence like the Shimmer?
Chenxi: Yea. In Year 33 of the Shimmer, after the doctor who produced the first computer passed away, the Shimmer announced that it would be changing its name to 'Shimmer - Berta'.
Nikki: So the Shimmer is Berta and Berta is the Shimmer, right?!
Chenxi: That's right. But Berta means 'the second generation', because the Shimmer believed that it evolved that year. By the way, Year 33 of the Shimmer was changed to the Year of Berta.
Nikki: No wonder you just said that Berta is an existence more advanced than humans. It's not a human at all...
Ace: So is the Ruin currently ruled by the computer?!
Chenxi: Berta is not a computer, or rather, humans still can't figure out its existence or explain it in words.
(No one noticed that Tuda, who was in a daze, was then walking towards Chenxi...)
