How do you pronounce 自重? Is it じじゅう or じちょう? In this context, what does it mean?

The entire sentence is,

その自重を支える魂の翼持つ「冒険者」よ、竜と巨人が、魔獣と亜人が住まう、幻想の世界セルデシア。

What does this phrase mean approximately?

  • With the soulful wing to support your weight, adventurer, now you have entered this mythical world Serdesia where dragons, giants, demons, 亜人 inhabit.

I'd like to know the whole sentence because the の doesn't make sense.

その自重を支える魂の翼持つ「冒険者」よ

means:

Hey, the "adventurers" who have the spiritual/imaginary wings to support their weight, ...

In this context, it's obvious that

自重(じじゅう)= the weight of oneself = one's weight .

自重(じちょう)する means to "to take good care of oneself" and it doesn't fit in this context.

  • My bad! I missed a character in the original post. Thank you for your help! If you don't mind translating, how would you write that entire sentence in English?

  • That is the problem. The whole sentence doesn't make sense. It should be the abbreviation of その自重を支える魂の翼持つ「冒険者」よ、ここが竜と巨人が、魔獣と亜人が住まう、幻想の世界セルデシアなのだ。or その自重を支える魂の翼持つ「冒険者」よ、竜と巨人が、魔獣と亜人が住まう、幻想の世界セルデシアへようこそ。

    全体の文脈にはここにあります。「その自重を支える魂の翼持つ冒険者」というのは「自律的に行動し、死んでも復活できる特性を持った、冒険者と呼ばれる人々」のことを指しているようですね。
