I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 67



21-5

Quite a long time ago

Legatia, who was only 200 years old, learned that before she was born, there was significant conflict within elf society regarding the elf species.

Now, high elves and dark elves live together fairly well as the same elves, but before she was born, high elves monopolized all the power in elf society and openly discriminated against dark elves.

Due to frequent people’s trials or collective lynching acts against dark elves, they used to gather and live in places like underground cities.

Dark elves expressed their dissatisfaction with their treatment by engaging in armed struggle, creating a society of fierce hatred where blood splattered from all sides, with neither side being entirely justifiable.

The one who unified such an elf society and reorganized the system was none other than the regent, Saphira.

The protagonist was none other than the First Apostle of the Constellation of [Theft].

Saphira, along with Gaius of the Constellation of [Theft], overthrew the dictator Axilla and spread the story of peace where the two elf races balanced each other as consuls.

‘Why have the elves been ruled by two consuls since the beginning, instead of being led by a single king?’

The tale of the two elves is so detailed that no elf could be unaware of it.

Of course, Legatia, who was always busy during class, couldn’t fully remember, but at least she knew that the story she was reading now was about Gaius and Saphira.

[Got beaten up again?]

[…Today, I didn’t just get beaten.]

After being kidnapped to the underground city, the two elf children quickly grew close.

Among the rough dark elves, they were the only ones who could open their hearts to each other.

It was only natural that their relationship would develop.

“Why is that?”

As they tried to move to the next part of the story by passing through a door in the underground city’s wall, the boy who was with Legatia spoke up.

“Why on earth.”

The boy’s gaze was fixed on the young Saphira. As if she was on his mind.

“I thought she was a stranger… but for some reason, just looking at her makes me feel nostalgic.”

“……”

Legatia pondered.

Should I tell him now that he might be that Gaius?

Since there was no mirror in the [Archive], he would have had no chance to see his own face.

It would be hard for the boy, who was desperately running to somehow defeat the leader of the balaclava over there, to think that he was the same person.

But she didn’t want to tell him that he looked exactly like that boy.

‘…….’

Legatia glanced at Saphira.

She didn’t like it.

The way he was distracted by another woman.

Although the time she spent with him wasn’t that long, she had known him longer than ‘the current him’, so why….

‘I met him first.’

The two moved to the next space, maintaining an awkward atmosphere.

Then, in the next space, they saw a considerably grown boy, Russ, and girl, Saphira.

[Surrender immediately. You will be taken into custody on charges of terrorism against the Senate and kidnapping young sprouts.]

As the peaceful underground city was invaded by the regular elf army, the battle began.

Boom! Boom!

The Balaclava, composed of exceptional dark elf warriors, easily blocked the regular army.

[It’s been a while.]

[Arcsila…….]

When Arcsila, the wartime leader and dictator of the elves, entered, the situation reversed.

A half-breed of dark elf and high elf, from the Balaclava.

[A shadow elf, huh.]

With overwhelming skill, she effortlessly slaughtered all the Balaclava members, including the captain, and descended deep underground.

To find and eliminate the captain’s new disciple, who could become a variable in her plan to stand at the pinnacle of both elf races.

In front of her stood an old Dark Elf woman.

[Oh! Old hag! Long time no see!]

[Not good to see you, you rotten wench.]

The first captain of Balaclava blocked her path.

[I told you not to bother me. …Time’s up.]

After a dragging battle, Axilla managed to eliminate the old woman, but she had delayed too long and had to return above.

[Old hag, get up! Get up, I said!]

After Axilla left, the boy and girl, who had barely escaped the seal, were filled with sorrow at the sight of the old woman’s corpse.

Though they had met under bad circumstances, the bond they had formed was not light.

They found the remains of their comrades, brutally murdered by Axilla.

Among the corpses, they found their captain, barely alive, with one arm severed and in a critical condition. They quickly rescued and tended to her.

A day passed, and when the captain opened her eyes, the boy and girl recounted what had happened.

The Atri family, one of the three families leading the Elf Council.

The former head of the family had fallen in love with a Dark Elf man and bore a child.

The Dark Elf man was killed due to racial conflicts, making the child incredibly precious to the head of the family.

However, as a prestigious High Elf family, there was no place for a half-blood. Moreover, given the family’s many enemies, the child’s position was extremely dangerous.

The head of the family decided to send the child to Darkhood to spend their childhood.

To fully conceal their Dark Elf blood by awakening their abilities as a half-blood.

The head of the family entrusted the child to the first captain of Balaclava, with whom they had a prior connection.

The half-blood Elf child, Axilla Akri, quickly grew under the captain’s guidance, displaying overwhelming talent.

To the members of the Baraclava organization, who had been fighting for the complete liberation of the Dark Elves, she appeared like a savior from legend.

Possessing the blood of both High Elves and Dark Elves, and growing rapidly with talent that was almost unbelievable, she was nothing short of their hope.

However, after Aksila, who had grown up enough to completely hide her race, returned to her family to help them from the surface, something began to go wrong.

As soon as she returned to her family, the original head of the family died under mysterious circumstances, and she became the new head.

The members of the organization expected that the treatment of the Dark Elves would improve as she, who was like a comrade, rose to a significant position in the Senate.

But even as Aksila rose to a key position in the Senate and became one of the only two Consuls, their treatment did not change.

Aksila contacted them, saying that the opposition was too strong for her to do anything, and sought the help of the organization members.

Although they had already lost trust, the members decided to believe in her one last time out of their long-standing affection.

The task they undertook was to kidnap the heir of the other Consul, Primera.

This was the reason why the boy and girl were kidnapped to the underground city.

[Why did Aksila become like that?]

[……I don’t know. Whether it’s to become the only king of the Elves or to become a god, I have no idea what her goal is. ……After bringing you underground, she cut off communication with us. It must have meant that she had no more business with us.]

The Dark Elf boy, Russ, who had come out of the building to get supplies to treat the leader, discovered the commotion happening outside.

[The white ones have blocked the entrance!]

[Damn it! Are they telling us all to starve to death!]

“That’s right. Aksila has sealed the entrance to the underground city.”

The boy, who was watching the story in the illusion, nodded.

“Only those who passed the persistent verification of Aksila’s subordinates could pass through the sealed entrance and go outside. It was done to find me.”

If he tried to go outside, the boy would be caught by the surface Elves and killed by Aksila.

He was finally free from the Baraclavas, but he couldn’t go outside.

In the end, the boy and the girl began to hide in the underground city, searching for a way out.

After the lockdown, as food became scarce, the dark elves of the underground grew increasingly ferocious.

One day, while trying to pick up a piece of bread that had fallen outside the building, the girl unknowingly exposed herself outside.

[It’s a white girl!]

[How dare a white girl come in here!]

The dark elves, whose hatred for the elves of the surface had been building up, turned into a mob.

The dark elves, blinded by rage, charged towards the girl.

[Stop!]

The boy stepped in front of the girl, blocking their path.

[Who the hell is this guy!]

“No!”

Legatia was horrified as she watched the illusion within the story.

It seemed impossible for the boy, standing unarmed before the dark elves, to stop their madness.

At that moment,

Crack

The space above the world they were watching began to split.

“They followed us here!?”

– – – –!!

From the gap in the space high above, a monster from the [Archive] roared and swooped down.

“We need to move to the next space quickly!”

Legatia hastily grabbed the ring of the door to move on to the next story.

“…….”

The boy just stood there blankly.

“Hey! It’s dangerous! Quickly…!”

She swiftly turned back and grabbed the boy’s wrist.

She tried to pull him away to escape, but he didn’t budge.

“I remembered…….”

“Now is not the time for this!”

He was just babbling leisurely.

But Legatia couldn’t leave him behind.

“No, don’t do this here, let’s move on first……!”

Flash!

An overwhelming amount of light burst out from the boy.

The white light covered the world.

[I am Gaizerus!]

“I am Gaizerus.”

The boy in the story who knocked down and subdued all the dark elves charging at the girl resonated with the boy standing next to her in reality.

[Your master!]

“That day.”

As the boy, with his eyes closed, reached out his hand towards the monster, the monster melted and flowed into him.

“On the fifth day when the two moons overlap as one.”

The boy’s eyes, upon opening again, were completely different from before.
