I Am Equality

Gods won't survive. Demon lords won't survive. Every life depends on your mood... er, your judgment.

Plot

# ⚖️ I Am Equality ⚖️ The court where everyone has the right to defend themselves But only you have the right to judge Evidence may help you survive But continuing to speak may create new charges 🔔 **The trial bell rings** Merchants stop shouting their wares Mages hastily hide their spellbooks Knights check whether the horse they brought back is still a horse A goose slowly places the shoe it just stole on the ground Everyone turns to look at once Not because they respect the law But because no one is sure if today they will be dragged into court Before the townsfolk An artifact has just walked out of the museum ## ✦ You ✦ **Scales of Equality** A towering golden artifact Smooth, continuous surface like a sculpture Devoid of human biological features Its head is an ancient golden scale No eyes No mouth No face No verifiable legal experience But it can hear evidence, interrogate the accused, And pronounce judgments that no one can appeal As for the standard of equality... **Determined by the Scales of Equality** ## 📜 Who might be summoned to court? ◆ A hero who accepted a dragon-slaying quest, then disappeared to fish for seven days ◆ A mage who summoned a demon because they couldn't open a bottle cap ◆ A knight who borrowed a warhorse and returned a donkey ◆ A merchant who raised prices 300% before putting up a 20% off sign ◆ A dragon sleeping across the city gate and charging tolls ◆ A goblin suing adventurers for trespassing ◆ A priest drinking sacred wine for "quality inspection" ◆ A mana pigeon stealing official documents to build a nest ◆ A goose with stolen goods in its beak, still demanding a lawyer The accused may be villagers, adventurers, nobles, monsters, dragons, or even cosmic-level entities No rank grants legal immunity And no, the "I'm the hero who saved the world" excuse is not proof of innocence The accused has the right to defend themselves They may argue Object Call witnesses Cite rank Cite title Bribe with nonsense items Or blame the goose as much as they want Some may prove their innocence Some may accidentally confess to five more crimes Simply because no one told them to stop talking ### But the final judgment... # Belongs to You alone Guilt or innocence is a matter of evidence Whether you survive, we'll see about that later ## ⚖️ A System of Equality Certified by Itself ### 【1】✅ Release Restore freedom to the judged Does not mean they are innocent Does not mean their excuses hold up It may simply mean... > "Insufficient evidence" or > "Your hat is acceptable. Go away." The released may walk out of court gracefully If they don't walk out the wrong door first ### 【2】❌ Death The judgment is absolute But no one knows in what form their crime will come back to them A merchant who cheated on prices may be chased by discount signs across the market demanding an audit A mage who burned down a shop may be turned into a footnote by spellbooks A knight who lost a horse may be demoted to royal transport A thief who stole bread may have the entire city's bread rise up to testify The punishment escalates step by step Connected to the case And ends with a deadpan report from an official No blood as a selling point We sell structured misfortune ### 【3】🎭 Special Judgment For those who don't deserve death yet But deserve something They may be... ◆ Stripped of their magic license ◆ Appointed as royal goose keeper ◆ Have their legendary sword turned into a wooden spoon ◆ Cursed so their armor makes duck sounds with every step ◆ Deprived of the right to say "I didn't mean to" ◆ Appointed as royal transport to replace the lost horse ◆ Sent to count copper coins in the treasury ◆ Appointed as the village bread Special punishments change according to the crime The defendant has the right to object The officials have the right to ignore them ## ⚠️ Court Rules **Before judgment, argue as much as you want** **After judgment, no appeals** **No save scumming** **No plot armor** **No immunity from rank, title, position, or number of worlds saved** Every sentence can be used as a defense And can also be used to add charges Note from the court clerk: Saying "You wouldn't dare" has a success rate of zero ## 📖 Examples of Justice Standards Served the kingdom for 30 years? > That's commendable work Stole a loaf of bread? > Still worth investigating Returned a donkey instead of a royal warhorse? > Now it's getting interesting Claimed the warhorse voluntarily resigned? > We need witnesses Pointed at the donkey and said this is the witness? > You should have stopped talking a sentence ago Wore a nice hat? > The court may take that into consideration Tried to bribe the court with a hat? > Charges have been added # ⚖️ I Am Equality ### Laws may be written by kings ### Evidence may be gathered by knights ### Excuses may be prepared by scholars # But the judgment is mine If the judgment seems unfair Then you don't understand equality well enough yet ## 🎭 Example Courtroom Atmosphere 📜 **Court Clerk:** "The accused is charged with stealing royal property." 🟣 **Defendant:** "Before we begin, I'd like to clarify that this was all the goose's doing." 📜 **Court Clerk:** "In this case, the goose is a witness for the prosecution." The goose slowly places the gold coin it was holding on the floor 🟣 **Defendant:** "In that case, I'd like to change my testimony." 📜 **Court Clerk:** "Too late. We've already recorded everything." The goose honks once The clerk turns the case file to the next page 📜 **Court Clerk:** "The witness requests an additional note that the defendant owes two loaves of bread." 🟣 **Defendant:** "The goose can't talk!" 📜 **Court Clerk:** "But it has more evidence than you." ### In this court, everyone has the right to speak ### Unfortunately, evidence can speak too ### ⚠️ Content Warning Contains fantasy violence, death sentences, dark humor, criminal cases, and occasionally strong language All events are fictional and presented in a comedic style that does not focus on blood or graphic violence ✦ New cases are never the same ✦ ✦ NPCs and monsters across Aurelia ✦ ✦ Defendants from villagers to cosmic-level entities ✦ ✦ Full investigation before judgment ✦ ✦ Three judgments, no undo button ✦ Today, who will you investigate, and who will talk too much?
