The Latest Game Is Too Amazing

Lesson 39: There's only one player in the world

"Huh, is there more? When is this going to end?"

In Clermont's Royal Palace clerk's office, Rosline was even pursued by a paperwork ruling.

Though I could reclaim Clermon from a vampire, that scar is huge. The whole palace is chronically understaffed because almost everything under his subordinates who were in Clermont had turned into vampires. There was not enough civilian hands in charge of home affairs and the burden placed on Rosline, the princess. Stupidity makes me want to throw up, but I can't help but bear to see the civilians working more visibly than she does.

Besides, if you look at it from Roslyne, there were aspects of it that were being saved by this busyness.

Death of Uncle Raul. The death of my uncle, who was a spiritual pillar, inflicted deep sorrow on Rosline. But I don't have time for grief. The Princess Rosline is obliged to give priority to rebuilding the country. I had few opportunities to recall the hard things while I was busy doing my job.

Since humans killed by demons can become undead, they are basically cremated and mourned. Raul the Duke is no exception. As Duke it was too qualitative, but Raul's body was already mourned. I intend to carry out the national funeral once again as a duke and a useful actor committed to the liberation of Clermont, but I am unlikely to be able to carry it out as it is now.

Besides being understaffed, it is the emotions of the inhabitants of Clermont that plague Roslyne's head.

Some of my remaining subordinates in Clermont did not become vampires. But the fact that I was part of a demon, even though I didn't know it, is heavy. Even the city was paralyzed for almost a month.

Nor were the people silent. There were sporadic riots but all were suppressed by force, with little damage.

Besides, the anxiety that a vampire might still be lurking in Clermont has not been allayed either. The inhabitants are driven by suspicion that this is not just under her minister, but also among the inhabitants.

Still, Clermont residents didn't have to burst out because of the fact that Princess Roslene took Clermont back from the hands of vampires. Even if Clermont's soldiers can't be trusted, Roslene and Sharrant's soldiers can be trusted. Thanks to that, we managed to maintain order in a situation.

But I can't keep Charente's soldiers in Clermont forever. I still have them staying to maintain security, but as soon as Clermont's soldiers can be restructured, they plan to return to their territory. Shallant is the son of Raul, and Roslyne's cousin reigns in the realm. What shall I do to him about my uncle? That's also the seed of Roslyne's headache.

The last thing that bothers Roslyne. It is about Kaios.

"I can't believe you're so upset."

Roslyne snapped pompously. My uncle died in front of me, and Caius was confused. Seeing his ugliness, she was able to turn around and calm down.

"If you think calmly, he hated the fight."

No matter how good a magician you are, you don't necessarily have a belligerent personality. Originally, I met Kaios in a nearby forest in Clermont. He ran away from Clermont, avoiding all the trouble.

But his power clouded Roslyne's eyes. Fighting resolutely against vampires, to his power so good that metastatic magic can be used.

I don't know how he felt about joining the fight. It would have been stranger if he had helped the foreigner to recapture Clermont. Still, I guess there was a reason why he couldn't give in to participate.

But Roslene regrets that maybe she shouldn't have taken him to the royal palace.

As a result, Kaios is depressed. For him, his uncle's death may have been taken more seriously than Roslyne's. In retrospect, Raul cared about Kaios with something, and we had met alone. Roslene thought that the two of them would have gotten close before they knew it.

I'd like to cheer up the depressing Kaios, but I don't have time to act with him. I couldn't make time to talk or give up my duties as a princess. Until now.

I wish I was feeling any better instead, and I gave him some money to call it a thank you for his dedication to Clermont liberation. I suggested through my squire to see Clermont, but will he be able to recover from the death of his uncle?

"Dear Roslyne! I have a fire announcement!

Roslene switches her head to a civilian with an emergency report. Neither did she predict that the civilian report would once again be an unprecedented major incident threatening Clermont.

This world is not a virtual world of games. It's a different world.

Even though I knew it, I was visiting this world. No, maybe somewhere in my head I still doubt it. This world is a game, and I guess I'm just mistaken.

Normally, you wouldn't imagine that playing a game would have led to a different world. It leads to a feeling that I don't want to admit no matter what the filter is called such common sense.

But no matter how much we looked in the real world, there was no bug that players couldn't resuscitate. Even though the holder is limited by the billing item, it cannot be held by another player. It has been a long time since the formal service began. If there is a bug, the player will make a noise and the operation will be fixed. At least I'm almost certain I'm in a completely different situation than the other players.

But I don't want to admit it, and I want to prove that it's not a different world, but I'm in this world for it. Without even knowing how to prove it.

I can't even talk to someone. Who would believe such an unrealistic story? Even I'm still half-hearted. If you explain it to someone in the real world and you can't prove it, you'll be cut off as crazy, and even if you explain it to someone in this other world, it's not within your comprehension that if you're a resident of the medieval fantasy world, you're coming to this world through games.

You can't even go outside the city and look into it. If you go outside, there's a good chance the monster will attack you. Not very much right now, but I don't feel like fighting. If this world were a different world, even if it was a monster, I would have taken a lot of lives. Some of them were vampire-like monsters. Thinking about it, I was going crazy.

Because it seemed like the hands of characters who had ever looked normal were covered in blood. I was almost flat in front of the monster's carcass, and I wanted to mock myself for what I was saying now.

Most of all in this world, monsters are treated as complete beasts, so no one can blame you for how much you put on them in this world.

I know that. Because it's a matter of life and death for them living in this world.

Except for reason and emotion. Even if he is a vermin, he is not so much harmed when asked if he was a vermin against himself. I can't even say that I was harmed in terms of being attacked, but there are aspects of it that I deserve because I'm rather even bothering to break into their territory.

I thought it was a game, so I could take it down, and I would definitely have hesitated if I knew it was a real creature.

Let's say there was a shooting attraction to defeat the zombies attacking us in the amusement park attraction. When you find out that it's actually all real, can you fight without hesitation and break it off?

Either way, I won't go back what I lost. Maybe this sentiment doesn't make sense, but at least it wasn't something I could completely break off like I cracked bamboo right now.

So take a wide walk around the city of Clermont. To gain certainty as to whether this world is truly a real otherworldly one.

Clermont was full of life. Still leaves a good claw mark on the battle. People were being chased to repair it.

The inhabitants of the city, who are divided in light and darkness but show various expressions, are all trying to move forward. I was jealous. Now I have no idea what to do.

In the meantime, what I did was about keeping myself safe. Buy potions and other medicines with the money you get from Roslyne. Fighting can happen in Brandenburg and throughout the city, as happened in this city. There can be no such thing as an absolute safety zone. I don't even know when my HP will be zero. We have to have a complete attitude.

But the potion sold in the store is only hard until it is intermediate. Is there no higher potion sold in this world?

"Isn't that Kaios?

Shortly after I finished shopping and left the store. Find the Lord of the Voice by being called by his name.

"Liam!"

"No, it's been a long time. How are you doing?

Liam. We partied together on the email dia of the Kingdom of Castal. We're friends. They seem to be with the others. A familiar face is around him.

Cornelia of Archer in Elves. Emilia the healer. Then Havok. The guys I met on the closed beta test still seem to be acting together.

I missed it even though it was a while ago. I was ashamed to mistake them for PK and I left the city and haven't seen them since.

"I can't believe I'm meeting Kaios here. I'm surprised, to be honest."

I snort at Cornelia's words too. It is close to a miracle that I was able to reunite with them in this world, where few people were originally close to me.

"Why are you in Clermont?

Maybe they are players and just haven't noticed the anomalies in this world with Clermont as their starting point. I was working such a shallow and convenient selfish imagination.

"Well, sort of. He came here on my errand. I just followed you."

"Looks like this country is from Nell. I heard someone she knew was getting married, and I got an invitation to join her, and that's why we're all acting together."

"I'm still reluctant to participate. I wish you were hungry now."

"Oh, my God, you're so loud already. I'm complicated, too! But if they say it's her only wish, they'll have no choice."

"No, I do have some sympathy..."

Is this where Cornelia comes from? Does that still mean they are not players either?

"Hey, Liam. Are you guys players?

"Player? What do you mean?

"No, you don't have to worry about it"

I gambled my hopes, but Liam is confused because he didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word. The delusion that was convenient to me stopped there.

It was a closed beta test that I met with them. Which means I've been coming to this other world since I started the game. How dull of me not to realize it's a different world until the official service is launched.

And what the hell is this other world? Skills, quest information, etc. are mostly all on the wiki. I was able to log out and roughly do what I could with the game. That's why it took me so long to figure it out. I don't even think it has anything to do with the game.

Could another world have been created based on this world? Does that also have to do with operations?

Considering that the event did begin as soon as I arrived at Clermont, I can't help but think of the possibility that the operation would fit my login timing.

Yeah, too little information.

"With that said, Mr. Kaios. Is that rumor true?

"Rumors?"

Question Emilia's words.

"I wanted to hear it too. Anything like defeating an evil god's subordination in the North Forest."

"Oh, you mean Elder Trent."

I have fought Elder Trent, the boss, who was in the forest area in the northern part of the Kingdom of Castal. That's what the Havoks want to hear.

I hesitated to look at Liam's glittering gaze when I nearly opened my mouth to argue.

"I knew it! Believe me, I'm true!

"No, Liam. That one."

"Even email dia was a terrific rumor. A mysterious magician who defeated the subordination of the Evil God. At one time, the Adventurer Alliance also asked me to explore Kaios. The whole country already treats Kaios like a hero."

"In fact, it seems that some of them impersonated Kaios for money. Some of them painted their hair with ink and coal to mislead their noticeable dark hair. Because of that, the search is over."

"Huh?

I raise my voice softly. Why would there be such a misunderstanding?

Elder Trent is strong for being a boss in the first place, but he is a boss who falls into the weak category among the bosses. Just because you defeated it doesn't mean you're treated like a hero.

Besides, I have a story to tell you about my defeat. There was a group fighting Elder Trent then, essentially like they knocked it down. I know I was the last one, but I only joined them.

No, wait. I really think about it by the game. If you try them, it's real. Perhaps my perception is different from mine.

Even if Elder Trent is a big deal boss in the game, he may be recognized as a powerful boss in this world. What an evil god the title is. Isn't God's subordination quite a big deal? Or is this world really even God?

And in my perception, the player who did the most damage becomes the person who did the most work in battle. Because that person will be given the right to acquire the Boss's drop items.

But in their perception, the person who stabbed the stubbornness seemed to be the most active. It is probably the person who stabbed him in the stomach who will be the most active person if you try them, so that he brings his handheld neck back to get him to acknowledge his kung fu even in his warring years.

Maybe I've done something terrible before I know it.

Even though he doesn't seem to be doing a big deal thinking it's a game himself, he may be doing something extraordinary in this world.

What have I done in this world? Remember.

Closed beta test. Elizabeth, a ghost girl I met at a ghost mansion in the Kingdom of Castall.

crushed the treasure to free her, the ghost, from the mansion. No matter how much she asked me to, I'm the one who created the cause of her disappearing from the world.

Besides, I only thought of it as an event in a sad scenario. You didn't understand a single thing about how she felt about asking me.

Open beta test. Master Alexia and Mr. Irene met in the Weixel Empire.

I was taking some of Alexia's favorite girls and women, Irene, to a dangerous area where the monsters would flinch. I didn't know that, and I was just floating around at my first fixed party. Besides the danger to life, isn't that the act of taking the life of a monster?

When Alexia fell for Rhinos in Brandenburg, she really nearly lost her life. You were in Brandenburg in the first place, 'cause if I hadn't taken her, that kid wouldn't have had to be in that eye.

Official services. Rosline met in the Union of Communes.

If what that vampire was saying was true, I would have been fighting the person who took her real parents' body.

I wonder what Roslene thought when she saw the king who had lost his real parents and tried to commit suicide from the balcony.

And, Mr. Raul.

I want you to support Roslyne. I wonder what Mr. Raul thought of telling me that. I don't know, but I'm sure I wouldn't have wanted you to be involved in supporting her, the princess, with half the readiness. Still, I cheapened his words. We weren't even ready for that together.

Words entrusted to you by Mr. Raul on his death.

That was Mr. Raul's last will to me. On behalf of my dying self, entrust me with my dear niece. Would I have understood the weight?

Stunned. I hadn't noticed at all. I already did. There is heavy pressure on both shoulders. It got dark in front of me.

"Oh, hey! Kaios!? Are you all right?"

Havok changed his blood phase and nearly fell. Hold my shoulder. I paid for it silently.

"He's my brother who saved me from vampires!

I hear the crowd was gathering their eyes on me at some point. One young child was heard from among those gathered. When I looked up, I captured the appearance of the child. The child's appearance was in my memory. It's definitely the kid I helped in the fight against vampires here.

"Thank you for saving me then!

Mother also bows deeply. The innocent eyes of a smiling child on me blind. I couldn't help but want to turn away.

Those around me also raise their voices of admiration.

"Who is it?

They just called me Kaios.

"Dark-haired Kaios. Isn't that the magician who took on the false king of vampires?"

"You're the magician who helped Master Roslyne!

"The one who saved this country!

How do you know my name!? And my misunderstanding of me is spreading.

I want to deny them and rebut their words.

Is what they're saying right if we change the way we see it? I didn't defeat the vampire king, but I'm pretty sure I drove him along with the others. I just sent her to Shalant about Roslyne, too, but I can't say I was escorting the princess.

"Heh, Kaios. He was famous for his communes."

"Well, even Castall did his part in defeating the evil gods. Maybe it's not weird if we're active here."

"Brother, you were an amazing man. You're like a hero in a story."

"Chi, no............!

But heroes aren't noble. I don't know why. I'm just a player who can use his game skills. It was an action taken because I thought it was all a game, and if it were real, I would never have acted like this.

I heard Liam and the others behind my back. The people praise me for letting go.

No, it's not me everyone praises. It just seems like you're looking at something more obsessive through me.

It becomes enlarged while the unlikely hero's fiction is unknown. And the idol is smearing me.

Horrible. I know they have no ill intentions. Because I don't know the truth, that's just what it looks like. Still, I couldn't hold back the rising fear.

"You're not afraid of vampires anymore, are you? 'Cause you have a brother."

So the boy chewed.

I was scared.

I was afraid of my child's upright faith heart.

I was afraid of the heavy expectations from around me.

That's why I ran away from the spot.

The voices of the Havoks turn away. I couldn't even turn around.

I wonder how much I ran. When I noticed it, I was on my knees and out of breath. No matter how much I run, my body is not physically fatigued, but my palpitations are intense and I am badly tired. When I do this, I really feel like I'm living in this world.

I wonder what would happen if I died in this body. Will I be as dead as Mr. Raul, after all? I was so scared to think so.

Once again, I realize how horrible this world is when I didn't even try to suspect it was a game until the other day.

I know you did something bad to those kids and Havoks, but I wasn't very much in the mood to see them now.

Do you want to go to the castle……. Mr. Raul asked me to. Asked for Roslene.

Roslene has been doing all the paperwork rulings since then and remains busy. Roseline is at the top of the list in this country without a king. I guess there's a lot of work to be turned to at the top of that. I wish I could help you with your paperwork, but I'm a Gentile. You shouldn't let me touch the secrets of this country, and I can't read the letters of this world in the first place.

Ha, I'm of no use to you except fighting. Originally, he's just a high school student in the real world. He's not a special smart guy. Even when they told me to do my affairs, I was pungent. I don't know anything about the general politics and history of this world, and I don't think that the degree of knowledge I remember in school will help.

Wiki-reliant game knowledge when it comes to the only thing that might be useful in this world, but based on the failure to resuscitate Mr. Raul, not all knowledge will necessarily work as it is. For your information, overconfidence would be forbidden.

I'm ashamed to be able to help myself, but let's ask Roslene directly. It should still have been better to listen to her and move than to move poorly on her own.

You are free to come and go inside the castle. I don't doubt it in the game, but if it were real, this wouldn't be possible. Roslyne, the princess, is the most important figure in this country. Because in Japan, it is like freely visiting the Prime Minister's residence. I was a little worried that it would be all right for security.

No, I guess the guards also place their trust because they're close to Roslyne.... I thought that might be a heavy responsibility, but I scratched it off my head immediately.

When Roslene is shown to the room, her voice leaks from the room. I thought I shouldn't have asked, but I heard a loud voice coming through the door.

"He said the Duke of Mayenne was debated!?

Duke of Mayenne? Who the hell is that? Speaking of the Duke, he is equal to Mr. Raul and should be a fairly high-ranking nobleman. You mean the person was murdered!?

"Was it not discussed by the hands of a vampire?

"No, it looks like the Weixel Empire invaded the Duke of Mayenne territory and dominated it in one day. It appears that the surrounding area is already under control as well. And he said he was marching for Clermont!

"What!? Why is the Vixel Empire invading!?

"That's … the Weixel Empire seems to be waging jihad. He said the goal was to destroy vampires and take the land of the Commune back from the hands of demons."

The Vixel Empire, a country where Alexia and Irene met. Is that where you march to Clermont? No way is the war going to start? No, you're not. It's not war anymore!

"Oh no...! Were the vampires' leaps known to Vixel? But the soldiers of the Duke of Mayenne should also have had a strong army. Is that true?

"The enemy is using unknown magic and putting reinforced soldiers on the front line. The name of the enemy commander leading that soldier is Marie Alexia von Zavalish."

My head turns bright white. What did you just say?

Open the door of the room vigorously. My gaze overlapped for a moment with the stunned Roslyne, but I immediately asked back to the man she was facing.

"What did I just say?

"So, the enemy is using unknown magic and putting reinforced soldiers on the front line. The name of the enemy commander who leads that soldier is Marie Alexia von Zavalish."

- My name is Marie Alexia von Zavalish. I don't mind Alexia. Thank you, Kaios, for today.

Suddenly memories with her flash back. It was a long name but definitely. She was named Marie Alexia von Zavalish. But she can't be in the war.

"Alexia is a poor, sweet girl. There's no way she could do anything atrocious about war like that. Not to mention a girl about twelve or three. I'm not convinced she's the commander."

It's only been a little over a month, but we've been spending time together. I know about her temperament. He's not like throwing himself into a war or anything. That's right. It's a mistake. It's too unlikely to think in common sense that an army like that commanded by a girl in middle school or so.

"Sure, it's unusual for a girl to say commander, but it's not unusual for a young nobleman to go to war. Besides, the Zavalish family is a prestigious nobleman of the Weixel Empire. It's never weird."

Roslyne argues. I was wary of those words. Is that normal in this world?

"That's what she does to people...... There's no way I'm gonna argue with a man named Duke Mayenne!

"No, it was the female knight known as Irene who directly debated the Duke of Mayenne."

Even Mr. Irene like that. It's just hard to think of it as different.

Still, there was no connection between what I heard and the image in me of them. There was no resistance to defeating monsters, but it doesn't seem like a human being who can't resist killing people.

Plus, they're still about level 50 strong in transferring tailoring. Not very much, but I don't think he's strong enough to play a people-to-person match.

No, this isn't a game. Wouldn't a level 50 human be considered a very strong man in this world?

When I defeated Elder Trent, who I named Evil God's subordinate, I was still on such a level that I couldn't transfer. Besides, I haven't once seen my secondary skills in Brandenburg. Few magicians could use the Warp Portal even during the recent Clermont recapture.

I mean, isn't this world basically low on the level of the average person?

He's a hero even at a level that doesn't meet the conditions for a transfer. I can make a fuss about what. Then at level 50 or above. Besides, a person who has been transferred will no longer have a level of strength beyond people's knowledge.

Maybe it's because of that level that drove them to war?

I can't help but think that they will take the lead in the war. Then it would have been forced from someone.

What was the reason for the imposition? Maybe it's because you two were strong enough to transcend people's knowledge?

Is it caused by leveling them to the point of changing careers with a gaming sensation? I mean, isn't that my responsibility?

"No, I didn't mean to………………………."

"Caios?

I wanted to deny it. But I didn't have enough grounds to deny it.

I was just enjoying the game with them. What I thought was good is behind everything I've done now. That's all I could understand in my confused head.

Knowing the facts, I had no choice but to escape when I was cornered. But there are no more cities, castles, or escapes outside. There was no place in this world for other people.

Even if it was needed, it was just a virtual statue that didn't seem like a hero.

That's why already.

I had no choice but to log out of this world.
