Isekai Online Game Developer - Chapter 103

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was a night sky with several stars.

YW9peUx5cktZYXhyU2hzY1VsMkQ0WjZ3WFVTem9GVmswWTFPZDdGRW12OVRmd2FMR2RmRll0OUVzbDBzQ3dRKw

I turned my gaze to look left and right and saw that this was a city.

Colorful lights illuminated the streets at night.

“…Trinity?”

It was a structure just like the Trinity.

But it’s much more advanced than Trinity.

I got up.

Somehow, the view seemed a little different than usual.

“Is it like the afterlife?”

Clearly, my existence was erased within the seal.

Is this what the afterlife is like?

“…What is this?”

The space where I was standing felt like the top of a tower.

And at the top, there were several large, unidentified artifacts floating around.

A giant maple leaf, a ball made of pentagons and hexagons, a square of dirt, the letters COL, a strangely shaped staff, and a strangely shaped ship.

They were all imbued with a tremendous amount of illusion magic.

Most of them were low-level magic, with only one mixed in with medium-level or higher magic.

“You must have heard a lot about Mana Stones.”

This is an extremely inefficient method, since it only uses low-level magic.

It must have cost a lot of money.

Instead, if I do this, I can quickly return to reality even if I get lost in the fantasy inside me.

But if you continue to indulge in fantasy, you will gradually become unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

“Are you awake?”

“Whoa!”

At that moment, a voice was heard from somewhere.

Someone appeared behind the giant artifact.

“… Lord of the Water Tower?”

It was Lina, the owner of the water tower.

“… You’re not Lyga, are you?”

“Rye… yo?”

“Yes. I am in a very deep fantasy. I can no longer find it. Who are you?”

“I am Vera.”

“…Vera?”

Lina suddenly appeared and told an unknown story.

Oh. Now that I think about it, this is the afterlife.

It wouldn’t be strange if someone showed up.

“… No way, Vera. You put your fantasies in that book?”

“…Huh? Why is this here?”

The book that contained my life was lying on the floor.

Only then, with a sense of “Ah,” could I understand the whole situation.

“This is… the future.”

“Yeah. It’s been a while since that happened.”

“Is that it?”

“One day, the common sense of the world suddenly changed. And Hina also became strange. Ilia and Hina clearly left to fight Ronan. You also came to find the Space Tower Lord. Do you remember?”

“The Lord of the Tower was with us at that time.”

“That’s right. Can you explain what happened then? I had a rough idea based on Hina’s condition, but there was no one left who could explain the exact circumstances.”

I explained what happened after the battle with Ronan and until I was sealed and destroyed.

“… You must have been lonely, Vera.”

“It was fine. I had fun playing around with illusions anyway. But what does it mean that Hina-senpai has become strange? What has the world become since I was sealed? And why is the Water Tower Lord free from changes in perception?”

“Ask them one by one.”

Lina explained what happened after the battle with Ronan.

To summarize, it was like this.

After I asked the space tower master to teleport to the coastal cliff,

Lina also said that she came to the coastal cliffs through space teleportation of the space tower.

The reason was because I was worried about Hina and myself.

But there was no one on the coastal cliffs.

Then suddenly the world shook violently and Hina, who had lost consciousness, popped out of the air.

It seemed like this was the point where the battle ended and Ronan was sealed.

After that, Lina returned to Trinity with Hina.

Ilya and I are said to have not shown up for a long time.

Given the circumstances, Lina concluded that only Hina survived and that Ronan had been dealt with.

At the same time, the world’s perception of fantasy magic changed.

And it is said that Hina’s personality became strange and she lost her memories of high-level illusion magic.

The Tower of Illusion has fallen and the magicians of illusion have left.

Lina barely managed to maintain the Illusionary Tower by helping Hina, and placed Hina in the position of Tower Lord.

Strangely enough, it is said that Hina was in a transcendent state.

It seems that although his personality changed, the fact that he was a transcendent being could not disappear.

It seemed that Lina resisted the change in perception because she had shared Hina’s resistance at that moment.

Separately, Hina’s personality and memories changed because of Ronan’s trickery.

“…okay.”

“If you combine your stories with mine, I shared in Hina’s resistance. Hina resisted the change in perception, but Ronan changed her personality into such a loner. It was really complicated and strange.”

“Thank you for helping Hina-senpai and the Fantasy School. Lord of the Water Tower.”

By listening to Lina’s story, I was able to understand the whole situation.

I bowed my head to Lina, who helped the Fantasy School.

“I didn’t do anything. I just took care of Hina a little. I’m the one who should be thankful. The symptoms of hundreds of years of stagnation have disappeared. My doubts have finally been resolved.”

Lina must have had a hard time by herself.

Because I must have lived for hundreds of years with memories of the previous world in a world where common sense had changed.

“Illusionary magic is truly great. It can do such incredible things.”

“I’m surprised too. By the way, you’ve really changed a lot, Trinity.”

It is said that several hundred years have passed since then.

As I looked, the other towers were soaring high into the sky.

Only the fantasy tower was lower in height.

“It’s been a long time. But recently, thanks to someone, the Fantasy Tower has achieved great things in a world where common sense has changed.”

“Now that I think about it, the owner of this body must have opened my book.”

“That’s right. Riot. They’re the guys who made these games.”

Lina told me a story about Riot, the owner of this body.

“… I see. I should be grateful. Even in difficult situations, you worked hard for the School of Fantasy. And you even discovered the space I had hidden.”

“Yes. He’s a really good kid. Riot. Isn’t he coming back soon? Memories.”

“Yes. As I listen to Riot’s story, reality and fantasy start to overlap more and more.”

It came to mind little by little.

Memories of a man named Riot.

And at the same time, the existence of ‘Vera’ gradually faded away.

“…Vera.”

“It’s okay. I was already a annihilated being. I’m glad I was able to see the future, even if only for a moment. I want to say thank you. To Riot.”

“I’ll make sure to tell you.”

“Yes… No, you don’t have to tell me. I’ll remember everything. After all, reality is an illusion. Because illusion is reality. The illusion called ‘Vera’ will eventually remain with Riot.”

“Illusionist wizards always say weird things. Still, it’s nice to hear this nonsense after a long time.”

“Thank you, Lina. For helping the Fantasy School.”

It felt like it had disappeared just a few hours ago.

Feeling the sensation of disappearing again. It wasn’t pleasant.

But at the same time, my true self was returning. It was as if my hazy memories were becoming clearer.

“What are we going to do next? It seems like Ronan is starting to wake up.”

“That’s Riot… no, I’ll take care of it. I trust you. You’re a good person.”

“…okay.”

Lina hugged me without saying a word.

“Thank you for your hard work, Vera. Thank you. I’ll thank you on behalf of everyone.”

“It was nice to meet you, even if only for a little while. Lord Water Tower.”

My memory is gradually fading.

And little by little, the real ‘me’ came back.

The experience of ‘me’ being erased and ‘me’ returning.

It was heartbreaking, but beautiful at the same time.

This must be what it means to feel heartbreakingly beautiful.

‘Vera’ disappeared.

The scattering was a real illusion, unlike before.

But this time it felt more real than ever.

*

I came to my senses completely.

The feelings that had been vague until just a moment ago dispersed like an illusion.

All that was left to me were the situations I faced in reality and the memories I had developed in fantasy.

“The hacker must be Ronan.”

After Lina left, I sat alone on the rooftop of the building and thought about it.

The servers of Bipa Online were closed as instructed.

About six hours had passed since I had fallen into a fantasy.

It seemed like I woke up automatically when the fantasy ended.

“6 hours after the sudden server shutdown. The users must be very dissatisfied.”

Fortunately, no bloodshed occurred because a notice was posted saying that an emergency inspection was underway.

It was thanks to the notice that a special event would be held after the inspection.

What should we do with the hacker to get the server open again?

How do I find Ronan and solve it so I don’t have the same problem again?

“Haa… This kid woke up from his seal and is doing this? Is this a game?”

Ronan’s seal was probably released recently.

If that’s the case, it seems that Vera’s seal was released longer than expected.

It’s just that the discovery came late.

It didn’t seem like Ronan had done anything dangerous yet.

Maybe it was because the seal was just released, so its power might not be at its full strength.

What was certain was that the guy who was released from the seal was playing a game.

“I need to awaken Hina’s memories. And I also need to transcend.”

In my fantasy, thanks to my research, I reached the brink of transcendence.

Hina is a transcendent being, but has lost all of her memories.

It seemed possible to reverse the change in perception with some research.

However, it was Ronan’s doing that Hina’s memories and personality disappeared.

In Hina’s case, I still have no idea how to turn it back.

“Let me be honest.”

If I tell you, won’t you remember it all with a start?

“Huh, huh…? Me, me…?”

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

Just grumbling as usual.

“Ah, I used to be a really shy hikikomori, but it turns out I’m the strongest person in the world?”

“… Yes. That’s right.”

“But does that make sense? Is this paltry illusionary magic actually that great?”

“Rai-kun. You’re really joking around. After all, it’s just illusion magic, isn’t it?”

Others, like Medea and Rain, were completely incredulous.

I didn’t believe it.

Maybe it’s the effect of a change in perception.

I didn’t know that it might have been set up so that they wouldn’t accept it even if I told them the truth.

Still, Hina showed no signs of rejection.

Maybe if I tell you the magic, you’ll remember something.

I taught Hina high-level fantasy magic.

“Oh, oh…! Th, this… What’s going on, Rye?”

“Don’t you ever have memories come to you suddenly?”

“That, that’s still…”

With the help of the Space Tower, I moved all of Vera’s top-level magic books from her hideout.

I lifted the illusionary magic from the book and had Hina study it.

By the time we got there, it had been 12 hours since the server was shut down.

I couldn’t leave the Bipa Online server unattended any longer.

“Please study for now. I’ll check the server.”

“Uh, yeah.”

Will Ronan try to hack again?

Maybe I could find out Ronan’s location now.

Ronan didn’t use any transcendent magic when he hacked either.

I opened the server.

At the same time, the number of connected users exploded.
