Just started playing this new release and a thought came to me like Truck-kun trying to isekai my ass.
Let's say there are some deities changing the world and reality to fit their whims and making everyone but the one they're favoring see the new world as entirely normal. Unless we assume to ourselves some unnatural ability to defy the whims of the gods themselves, we wouldn't be able to see anything but the behavior of those unaffected as out of the ordinary. With that in mind I wonder, was our world itself changed? From everyone we will and have found to have an odd attitude to their social position it will be an infinitely small fraction who may have been "helped" by the divine but even odds as low as that are above zero. I'm rambling as usual, honestly. My point is:
If for some reason the world does indeed operate under a whimsical divinity, there's nothing that would tell us that it is happening besides previous knowledge and an incredibly observant attitude and even then we as the observer would be bordering on the verge of insanity, closer than anyone to unveiling the truth but closer than realizing such truth doesn't exist. Keep your eyes open, don't act as if you know what is going on in the world around you and most certainly don't attempt to confirm what you will never know for sure. We have been designed to be unable to read minds and if for some reason the gods left your memory of a world before left behind, it may be for the best that you keep them unaware of your own awareness. Maybe write a book with everything weird you see and make it so it only goes public after your death. Maybe this will be a gigantic lead for the future generations and maybe you're just pranking the shit out of some future history uni student. Who knows?
