I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 57
Official Broadcast
High in the Heavens
The gods with nothing better to do were gathered for a banquet.
“[Stingy], our temple is running a bit low these days…”
“No.”
“Oh, come on, don’t be like that…”
“Isn’t this the latest hot dessert from Nouvelle? Where did you get this?”
“Haha, it’s nothing, just our apostles these days…”
“Lately, the mortals on earth are praising these rustic women just because they appear in the game. Isn’t it hilarious? When I’m the Goddess of Beauty.”
“““Indeed! It’s absurd!”””
“So I went to the Constellation of Dreams and asked to be put in the game, but they said they couldn’t do it on their own. Ha, it’s so funny.”
“““Indeed! It’s hilarious!”””
Since they ascended to godhood, unless they consumed astronomical amounts of divinity, the gods could not interfere with the middle world and had to spend most of their time trapped in the heavens.
Banquets, along with raising apostles on earth, were the most adopted means by the gods to alleviate their boredom.
“This time, our second apostle defeated a drake…”
“That’s impressive. But it’s nothing compared to the orc lord our child captured.”
“I merely shared a fraction of my power with our apostle, and they surpassed the wall of the sword master! I didn’t even do much!”
As usual, they were boasting about their apostles with empty words, but today’s banquet had a new topic.
“Come to think of it, was it today, the official broadcast?”
“Akashic Archive?”
It was a topic about a game that had recently become a huge trend, not only on the continent of the earth but also among the gods in the heavens.
“Shall we take a look?”
As one god waved their hand, divinity condensed in the air, creating a video screen.
“I heard the new character, Versia, is coming out.”
“The first supporter character. I must get it.”
“Considering Versia’s performance shown in the story mode, the difference between having it and not having it would be significant.”
The gods, who had been chatting here and there, gathered one by one in front of the screen.
“What is it with you? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t play a game made by humans?”
“…Ahem. It’s not that I’m playing it, I was just curious because others were gathering.”
“Who could Versia be in reality?”
“A constellation with the real name Versia… I don’t know any.”
“Considering the episodes released so far were actual epic mad movies of deceased constellations, it could be real.”
“I hope you write my story in the next episode. My story is much more beautiful than [Anger], that temperamental guy.”
“The story where you got caught cheating and got stabbed?”
“Hey. That’s all part of the narrative and hardship.”
“Remember when you almost got ruined?”
“Shh. It’s starting.”
Beep beep beep beep
As dozens of gods held their breath and waited, the online broadcast began with a countdown.
The first official broadcast of the mysterious company, whose identity was shrouded in secrecy and not even a single employee had been revealed.
[Hello, prospective managers!]
As soon as the broadcast screen turned on, a voluptuous woman filled the screen.
-Wow, Jujujangker
-Pufferfish…
– Are we introducing the company today?
[In today’s broadcast, we will be sharing special news to commemorate the release of the fourth limited character, Versia, and the 10th week of the Akashic Archive launch!]
– Naked mode!
– Chuchu mode!
“Is this a recorded broadcast?”
“It seems it’s not for communication purposes. Looking at the chat, it seems like the right choice.”
[First, let’s look back at the memories we’ve built together with the prospective directors over the past 10 weeks.]
The screen went dark, and then videos started playing.
The player defeating abyssal monsters and the queen together with [Knight Ren].
The player confronting Orpheus together with [Saint Kate].
The player going on an adventure together with [Demon King Perlerina].
The player going on a date in the radiant city together with [Girl in Love Versia].
– It was a good story…
– It’s a god game!
Even though it wasn’t a long time, as the accumulated moments passed by like a panorama, a lump formed in the hearts of the players watching.
[Did you enjoy the video? Thanks to all of you prospective directors, we have the Akashic Archive!]
“This is… powerful.”
“To think it could touch emotions.”
“Bweep!”
“Hey, didn’t you say you don’t play human-made games? Why are you the first one to cry!”
This was no different for the gods.
[This time, it’s the new character I showed you before, right? The girl in love! It’s Versia!]
A newly playing video.
[My… researcher.]
With Versia’s monologue, the character PV played.
[Kyaaa!]
Cruel experiments conducted in the cold laboratory.
[Who… are you?]
Love blossoms between the experimental girl and the researcher they meet during the process.
[You are my prince, researcher!]
As the experiment enters its final stage, the two face a crisis due to the head of the laboratory, but the girl sacrifices herself, causing the head to fall.
[I’m so happy. Is this really okay?]
The girl enjoys a dreamlike date with the researcher with her remaining thoughts before she finally disappears.
[Thank you so much. My researcher… my…]
As the girl disappears into a burst of light, a pendant falls onto the surface.
The screen transitions.
[…Prince?]
The video ends with a girl in an academy uniform tilting her head.

[Did everyone enjoy it?]
– I declare! Versia is the main heroine!
-Sign here!
-Yes, officially, Versia is the legitimate one, unlike that butcher.
-Versia-chan, come out quickly!
“Versia-chan! I love you!”
“Oh, seriously… So you were secretly playing the game after all.”
[This was the PV of the newly released character, Versia. They say Versia has very special abilities, right?]
Critical hit rate increase, critical hit damage amplification, increased damage dealt, reduced damage taken, ……
A brief explanation of the skills possessed by the character Versia quickly passed by.
[In addition, our Dream Story is releasing official Akashic Archive merchandise! Wow!]
Various goods, designed by the goddess of wisdom and Lian, appeared on the screen.
“A pillow to hug while sleeping! I, I have to buy this!”
“Pre-order! Online! Limited quantity! You idiots, hurry up and reserve it!”
[We are still preparing to create the official merchandise shop, so please wait a little longer.]
After the news about the official merchandise sales, the final news arrived.
[To celebrate this new update, our Akashic Archive is holding its first event! Guess what? A Requiem Event!]
“Requiem?”
“Event?”
Since there were only early package games, there were no in-game Halloween or Christmas events, so the word “event” sounded unfamiliar to the continent’s people.
Although the Requiem was a popular festival on the continent, they had never done anything based on it in the game.
The screen was instantly filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
[A memorial service held inside the Akashic Archive! They say something unusual and terrifying happens there? Check the game for more details!]

In a secluded corner of the celestial banquet
A god with brown skin, whose appearance was so androgynous and beautiful that it was hard to tell if they were male or female, lay on the sofa.
“Ahh༺♥.”
On either side of them were four goddesses.
“Sss… Haa.”
The brown-skinned god, having inhaled something, opened their mouth.
“You said it was a game.”
“Yes♥”
“Why should I play this so-called game?”
“Because♥ it’s fun! You’ll like it too♥?”
“That’s right♡ It’s so much fun♡! The horror mode that’s coming out this time also seems fun!”
The goddesses entwined themselves around the brown-skinned god’s body.
“Are you scared♡?”
“Our dear doesn’t like scary things like ghosts♥!”
“Hah. Ridiculous.”
The brown-skinned god sat up.
“Principle 8, avoid white things unless they are powder. It’s a survival rule for dark elves.”
“Principle 23, don’t take a gamble if you’re not sure.”
“Bring it here. This thing you call a game.”
Principle 24, if you’re going to do something, do it flawlessly.
[A thief, overcome with lust, twists the corners of their mouth with a dazed look.]
