"It's still a macroscopic conditional event. In other words, a proof that the UT universe is fundamentally built from top to bottom. And the more I think about such a scenario, the more I'm inclining towards the simulation hypothesis."

It's not macroscopic, only you and your opponent are in the HUD system, and the overworld rules still apply! They're just meaningless now!

It's just as "macroscopic" as an entangled quantum system.

Not only that, some aspects of the HUD still exist even without battle! Like the SAVE system! The HUD is a part of our essence, the result of determination and evolution crafting a system, to help them survive when they are removed from the body by magic. Without the HUD, if your SOUL was taken out of your body, you're just dead. That's it, game over! With no body to control, nothing to do.. You're better off being a sitting duck.

So, the humans needed a way to survive this. If it's this easy to instakill a human, it wouldn't be long until they become extinct!

So, the SOUL developed. It started making use of its magic.. Found a way to move around. Monsters quickly countered it with the battle box. This also prevented the SOUL from just moving back into their body, which was likely the dominant plan before. So now it needed to fend on its own. So.. it found a way to use the innate magic within the weapons (now mainly just projectiles, but still), and deal a blow that way.

This continued on.. Until we got the HUD we all know!
