I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 50



The Right Ending

– Chii-chil! ㅠㅠ

– Save our Chii-chil! Bring her back!

Though it was a hastily made episode, perhaps because it was made with the help of the gods, they did their very best. The players’ immersion in the new story was outstanding.

‘…Well, I was also greatly shocked when I first saw those scenes through a dream within the goddess of wisdom. …If players witness a game story with even more dramatic scenes purposely added, then it’ll only be even more extreme.’

– I want to tear the head researcher to pieces, why isn’t he added as a boss!

– I worked so hard to level up my characters, and now there’s forced story progression, that’s too much!

– Is Dream Story company the devil!

Thanks to that, the players’ resentment toward the head researcher was very strong, and their motivation was overflowing. Initially, I considered making the head researcher a weekly boss, like that guy from the previous abyss, to be the target of the players’ rage…

‘An identity jelly… What a gruesome and dreadful idea.’

If the one who had their personality extracted wasn’t the head researcher, and the one who extracted the personality wasn’t the victim, the Constellation of Wisdom, I would have stopped it immediately…Such a horrific idea.

I divided the jelly into smaller pieces and put them in the game.

‘Since it’s a jelly, it’s actually more suitable to use.’

To leave a lingering impression, the character Muria-13-07 was killed at the end of the story.

To emphasize the tragedy, she turned to dust and scattered before the player’s eyes.

It is impossible to release a new character that has already died.

But what if a character that looks exactly like her appears, having lost all memories?

Additional story update.

Act 3, Scene 3 is released.

* * *

Crown Prince Raizeol absentmindedly flipped through the documents.

Srrk

“Ugh.”

A cut appeared.

A drop of blood fell from his finger.

No.

I must pull myself together.

I am the next emperor who will lead the empire.

I must not waver.

Forcing himself to forget, but the last moment keeps coming to mind.

‘…My beloved prince.’

The last words she left before disappearing into a halo of light cannot be forgotten.

The crown prince shook his head.

It’s just a game.

Even within that game, it’s nothing but a virtual event.

She is not real.

The Crown Prince tried to steady his mind by any means necessary.

He forced himself to pick up official documents and immerse himself in work, but the words wouldn’t register.

‘Huh, huh! Oh, Prince!’

Her voice lingered in his ears.

Bang!

When the Crown Prince heard the news of the ‘new story update,’ it was only natural that he ran out without looking back.

“Are you okay, Zeol?”

The director watched the Crown Prince’s expression.

“I am always okay. Why do you ask?”

“Well, you weren’t in good shape after the last training.”

“That was… nothing.”

“Really? Then that’s a relief.”

With a gesture from the director, a book flew into his hand.

“…That book.”

Usually, he couldn’t tell one book from another, but the book in the director’s hand was different.

“You recognize it?”

He could never forget.

A story where she is the protagonist.

That book.

“It’s nothing much… As part of your training, there’s something you need to do.”

“Something I need to do?”

“When you entered before, it was a perfectly fine story, but the Abyss has eroded it.”

The Abyss… eroded?

“Think of it as an assassin from the Abyss entering this place. There’s no need to worry. It’s just one.”

“So I just need to deal with that one?”

“That’s right.”

“Easy enough.”

Just one.

If it’s his character, which has already reached the end specs, there should be no problem.

The prince’s characters have all reached the highest breakthrough and specs, enough to skip the weekly boss [Assassin of the Abyss]’s patterns.

‘…To think they dare to tarnish the memories with her. Unforgivable.’

On the other hand, a part of his heart felt excited.

The thrill of possibly meeting her again.

“You’ll do well. But don’t overdo it, it’s still training. If it seems impossible, call me.”

“Understood.”

The storybook started up again as usual.

The prince was already inside the story.

“……Wait a moment.”

Not in a researcher’s attire?

He was not in the middle of the laboratory as a researcher in charge of managing the test subjects, but standing in the middle of a busy street with many people passing by.

From noble mtl dot com

A completely different situation from when he entered the previous story.

Not the beginning at the laboratory?

Then, does that mean he won’t be able to meet her?

As the crown prince’s heart was burning with anxiety.

Tap, tap

Someone tapped him on the shoulder.

The crown prince turned his head.

!!

Unlike when she was a test subject, she was now dressed in an academy uniform with makeup on, looking beautiful.

At a glance, her atmosphere was so different that one might think she was another person, but the crown prince was certain.

The girl, who looked exactly like the one he had longed for so much, was looking up at him.

“Um… excuse me……”

She hesitated, stammering as she began to speak.

“Have we met somewhere before?”

“……Met before?”

“Oh, no, it’s just that you seem familiar somehow……”

The girl blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed.

The Crown Prince’s heart ached.

“Um… please don’t take this the wrong way? I had a dream where I went on a date with a prince… and that prince looked exactly like you…”

The Crown Prince felt as if the puzzle pieces were finally coming together.

The curator had said that this story was still an ongoing one, not yet finished.

That meant that the protagonist of the story, she, had not completely disappeared and the story was still progressing with her remaining.

So, it meant that the girl who had experienced that death had been reincarnated and was living again.

“I am called Dalang Versia…”

Dalang Versia.

Was that her name in this life?

The Crown Prince clutched the pendant item inside his pocket.

If he showed her this item, he could reveal the truth.

He could tell her about her past life and convince her that she had a special relationship with him.

…But should he?

Her memories of her past life were the worst of the worst.

The memories were so painful that after finishing the story, he had ordered an investigation into human rights abuses throughout the entire empire’s research facilities.

If he revealed the truth to her, she would come to know about those painful memories.

…He didn’t like that.

“Ah, no, I mean, I’m not crazy! I mean, really, in the dream! …Hauu.”

The girl didn’t know what to do and hung her head low.

“I believe you.”

“……What?”

“These days, someone calls me ‘Prince’ in my dreams.”

But I am the Crown Prince.

“……Really?”

“The dream was so blurry that I couldn’t tell who it was, but I never thought it would be such a little kid.”

“I’m not a little kid!”

“Heh. Is that so.”

The Crown Prince walked with the girl.

“Are you attending the academy now?”

“Yes, I’m in the second year!”

She smiled brightly, making a V sign with her index and middle fingers.

Fortunately, it seems that this life is different from the previous one, and she is living happily.

“Would you show me around the academy?”

“The academy? Our academy is famous for being really boring, you know?”

“It’s fine. It’s the academy you attend, isn’t it?”

“……Prince, that’s so unfair. How can you just come at me like that?”

The girl turned her head slightly and muttered.

“What did you just say?”

“Oh, nothing! Shall we go to our academy now?”

The girl grabbed the Crown Prince’s hand and started running.

“Huh? Is that Bersi? Where are you going?”

As the crown prince and the girl were touring the academy, a female student called out to the girl.

“Oh, Circula!”

“Wait a minute. Are you with a man…!”

“No, it’s not like that…”

“Anyway, pretending to be so innocent.”

“Well, it’s just that…”

“Sorry to interrupt. Have a good time~.”

“Hey! Listen to me!”

The girl named Circula, who had spoken to Bersi, quickly disappeared.

Was it Muria-17-06?

Even reincarnated up to six-six.

In the distance, a small girl with half-closed eyes was hiding behind a wall, observing him and the girl along with Circula.

That must be Muria-25-03.

All three have been reincarnated and seem to be living happy lives this time.

“Hurry, let’s go, Prince!”

The girl grabbed his wrist again and started running.

“This is my secret base, my own hideout.”

The rooftop of a lecture hall in a remote part of the academy.

“The night view from here is really pretty, isn’t it?”

“……I see.”

The crown prince chuckled.

The sight of the girl admiring the scenery and laughing heartily was no different from an ordinary academy student.

She had finally been freed from the director’s curse and was now living a proper life.

“Huh? Why are you laughing? Is there something on my face?”

“……No. It’s just….”

Because I’m happy.

A proper ending.

A proper life.

It felt like all the distracting thoughts that had plagued him from the last story update until now were finally disappearing.

If it weren’t for the abyss’s erosion, he would never have thought this would be the ending.

……Huh?

The abyss?

Come to think of it, this story was eroded by the abyss….

It felt like a huge lightning bolt struck his mind.

The crown prince stood up abruptly.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

He ran.

Something jelly-like appeared behind the girl.

A sharp blade protruded from the jelly.

An attack aimed at the girl’s back.

The world slows down.

Is it because he is pouring everything to save her?

In a world where such speed would normally be imperceptible,

The Crown Prince activated various abilities and ran.

Protect.

This time, no matter what.

Boom!

“Your Highness!”

Because he will never lose again.
