“I can’t walk. um, sorry… .”
After kissing John, Ida’s leg came loose. Yohan took her, who could not walk properly, to the building A dormitory and asked her to do something. Ida, who was dazed, responded only after being asked the same question several times.
“Representative powers?”
“yes. It can be done tomorrow.”
Ida just nodded, confused about what had just happened. Ida did not even meet John’s eyes the whole time she was coming to the dormitory with Yohan’s support.
It was already late at night.
The time indicated by the clock tower was 11:50.
As soon as Yohan took Ida away, he ran towards his dormitory. Because I moved quickly, I was able to return almost in time for the roll call.
“Huck, huck.”
I was out of breath.
John’s room is on the top floor, so there are many stairs to go up. Fluttering his soaked clothes, he quickly sorted through the things he had to do for tomorrow. If you are given the authority to act as the school principal, you can now meet Miri.
When he reached the top floor, the system log popped up once more.
[You have cleared the hidden event, ‘Ida’s Choice’.]
[Reward: Secret Point]
[Compensation: 3 points]
Then, the first reward appeared.
[Additional Reward: Special Privilege]
[Additional reward content: Absolute command to Ida]
[Explanation: You can give absolute orders to ‘Ida Hermes’ on important matters. ‘Ida Hermes’ cannot resist this, and will receive a systematic advantage for the success rate of the bar it performs. However, this authority will not be invoked for requests that go beyond the scope of rational thinking.]
John couldn’t help but be a little bewildered.
‘Are you saying you’ll have the right to command the attacked character?’
This was a reward that Yohan had never set. But at the same time, he became convinced that his judgment was correct.
The premise underlying the first half of ‘Savior from Another World’.
‘It’s a bad ending if you fall in love at the academy.’
Jung Mi-ri makes a new version of this game, and does not follow the reprint.
John choked.
Thinking that this might be some kind of salvation.
Unlike himself, who regarded his time with her as unhappiness, Miri… I don’t know if the time I spent with you wasn’t unhappy.
Tboob. Tboob. Tboob.
John thought as he walked. As Escomin hinted, he decided to focus on generating random numbers.
With today’s work, the capture of Ida Hermes has been completed, so Adrinne, Arienne, and Miri Inheritor will be next.
I wasn’t rushing up the stairs, but the distance I had run was so long that I was out of breath. Yohan stood holding the doorknob for a moment, catching his breath, but he couldn’t continue thinking to himself. A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Wouldn’t this be the end?”
John’s head turned around. At the end of the hallway, in the shadows, a blurry figure glared at him.
I couldn’t see his face well, but Yohan was able to recognize the character just by his height. That single swordsman was also the main character of this game.
The other person spoke in a bleak voice.
“Johann Esperts… Don’t forget that you are prolonging your life just because you connect me with Adrine.”
John has been sick to the bone.
‘This bastard, did you keep saying things like this to say that?’
Sabaki’s voice, which seemed to have been ground through ice, emphasized the truth of what he said.
“ruler. What’s next?”
It was very slight, but a definite smell was directed toward him. If I attacked Adrine, it would be the smell that would come as ‘death’.
‘Shit.’
I was vaguely determined. As Escomin hints, the first character you will encounter if you attack Adrine is Sabaki.
“If you say there is no plan, it will be your will.”
I can feel the warm sincerity in his eyes.
I can feel the tingling of life in his smell.
I answered quickly.
“Sure, I have a plan… Didn’t Adrin say anything about helping?”
“I was rejected by her.”
“… What did you say?”
“He said thank you, and asked you to be my woman.”
Ahh. this guy… .
weird.
I don’t remember setting it up as a love koja to this extent.
“you… Don’t you know how to flirt with women?”
It seemed that he had stabbed him in the head. Sabaki hesitated a little like someone who had been hit with anger, and I landed the final blow.
“When it comes to working, there is a thing called timing.”
“get on… timing???”
“And now is not the time. Wait a minute.”
Sabaki looked blankly at my face for a moment, then said, ‘Hmm. Do I need timing?” he muttered and nodded his head. The vague smell of death quietly faded, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, I have a doubt.
The original Sabaki I created wasn’t such a reckless character. In the route where he becomes interested in Adrine, his emotional lines are quietly and neatly connected.
To find the reason for this difference, I thought back to when they first met. It wasn’t difficult.
When Adrine and Sabaki returned from [First March], they saw each other’s faces for the first time. And if you think about it still, there was a sense that it was a little strange from then on.
‘I will become your sword.’
This is the line that Sabaki uses when his affinity for a female character rises to the maximum level.
But why did that line come out right after meeting Adrine for the first time?
While thinking about the reason, the voice of the officer on duty rang in the quiet hallway.
“Start the roll call now. Students go into each room and wait for the roll call. I will start roll call from room 101.”
Sabaki nodded and tried to return to her room. Feeling uncomfortable about something, I grabbed Sabaki. Anyway, Sabaki’s floor is right below my room, so there’s a bit more time before the watch officer arrives.
“Let me ask you one question, Sabaki.”
“What do you mean?”
“You… How did you come to like Adrine? … Could it be that you fell in love at first sight?”
Sabaki’s face slowly turned to me. He seemed to guess the intention of the question, and then just opened his mouth casually.
“This time… There was a moment where it flowed really terribly slowly. Have you ever had that experience too?”
It seemed a bit odd, but I nodded my head first. There are moments like that in life. For me, that was the end of game development for ‘Savior from Another World’. Overextended setting and story branching.
A development that never seemed to end. Those long challenging times… .
And from Sabaki’s words that followed, I knew when the moment he spoke of was.
“It was a time when pain was common… Others said it was less than a month, but I couldn’t believe it. To me, that time felt like a much longer period of time, incomparable to the period I had lived.”
That is the time he was being tortured by Kirov. And Sabaki is now saying that time has been longer than 20 years.
“And at the end of that endless time of suffering, there was a voice. It was a voice calling for my salvation.”
I know who the owner of that voice is. At that time, the people who visited the brothel were me, Hoan, and Adrine, and it was Adrine who led the conversation.
For a moment, Sabaki closed her eyes and spoke.
“Maybe I… Before I met her, I would have loved that voice first.”
“… .”
“Is there an answer?”
The stench came. It was not the smell of death. After a while, I sensed that the stench was coming from Sabaki’s clothes.
“By the way, what does it smell like?”
“… smell?”
“From your clothes… Because it smells bad.”
“??? … Ah, this.”
Sabaki said while rubbing the sword stains on her sleeve.
“I plan revenge.”
“… who.”
“That Kirov is the old jailer.”
Sabaki added, shaking off her clothes.
“It’s not to the extent of Master, but I also see people’s contemplation to a certain extent. And I’ve never forgotten that bitch’s face. The image of that face… It was a face with a water seal on it.”
It’s contemplative… .
In the worldview of ‘the savior from another world’, the ‘blood plate method’ is not the only way to find out individual characteristics or qualities. In the event Jung Mi-ri added, the card shop used by the wizard named Pirallo could be considered one of them.
Sabaki is from the southern part of the Empire.
In the south, where magic does not exist, characteristics and qualities are often identified through oriental means. The contemplation that Sabaki mentioned, and the palm lines that wandering fortune tellers used to see belong to this category.
Sabaki continued.
“If there is a place she has chosen as her magic workshop, it must be one filled with water. I wandered through the sewers here.”
“…You want to fight alone?”
“Fighting. This is not a gladiatorial contest. I’m not against her.”
Then the guy spoke as if it was a predestined proposition.
“I will kill her, Johann Esperts.”
After speaking, Sabaki tried to walk out again. And I was able to find one awkward part of what Sabaki said.
This Southern character tends not to use unnecessary rhetoric in his speech.
‘A much longer period of time that cannot be compared to the period I have lived’
If these words came out of Sabaki’s mouth, they couldn’t be rhetoric to highlight a difficult time. This guy really is what he feels. That period of time, it seems like decades.
As soon as I thought about this, a feeling of uneasiness came over me.
‘no way… Time distortion?’
Clenched fists trembled. Because there was a catch.
“You said that Kirov gave you the purple potion, right?”
“It was.”
“That potion… How many times have you fed them?”
Sabaki trembled once before speaking.
“I only remember up to number 25.”
I raised my voice.
“… What?! Number 25?”
My voice echoed in the hallway. Sabaki frowned once and said.
“okay. And stop asking questions. If it continues for some reason, I think it will kill you.”
I was able to believe that this was not a lie either.
Through the stench of the sewer smell from his body, the smell of death broke through once more.
“I don’t want to kill you.”
Contrary to Sabaki’s words, the flesh bloomed again in his body. Unlike before, it was a life without direction.
Tboob. Tboob. Tboob.
The guy went away.
I was sweating.
I’m sure, if anyone bumps into that guy even shoulder to shoulder, there will be another murder in the barracks. And if I try to stop this, I will be the victim of that murder case.
I opened my inventory with my mouth shut. Then, I looked at the system log of an item I had already used once.
[Purple Potion of Kirov]
[Rating: Premium (normal item)]
[Capacity: 1/2]
[This is a stimulant potion produced by the wizard Kirov. This is a 2-dose dose. When taken, the user’s time perception becomes abnormally fast for 2 minutes.]
A potion that increases time perception when drunk.
As I used against the ‘language golem’, when my perception quickens, things around me seem to move rather slowly.
And since I was the developer of ‘Savior from Another World’, I know why Kirov divided the dosage into the dose. It was because there was a bar set up for the potion she made.
The potions made by Kirov cause cognitive impairment and sensory impairment in users when overdosed. And the effect of the potion you take is stacked squarely.
Programming is a computationally intensive task. I did a quick mental calculation.
25 doses.
That is, 2 to the power of 25.
Since 2 to the 10th power is 1024 and 2 to the 5th power is 32, 2 to the 25th power can be expressed as 1024*1024*32.
Cut off the last digit and calculate 30000000 .
The first digit is the number in ten million. In addition, since the effect of ‘Kirov’s Purple Potion’ lasted for about 10 minutes, Sabaki was exposed to Kirov’s torture for the amount of time multiplied by 10.
‘Damn it.’
At the same time as the question is resolved, the hair stands on end. I can now understand the image of the guy who spewed out his lifeblood, saying he would smash my head, and the guy who gave off the smell of death like this.
Watching Sabaki walk away, he silently continued his mental calculations.
He took a minute that would have felt like 30000000 minutes, for 10 minutes.
Multiply that by 300000000 minutes.
In terms of hours, 5000000 hours.
Again this is a rough estimate of 200000 days.
and…
Again, this is a rough estimate of 600 years.
For reference, the Joseon Dynasty from the beginning to the end is 518 years.
‘ha… .’
Hard to imagine.
Under the torture of the wizard Kirov, the pain he had to feel for 600 years.
There was no way that Kirov would not know the effectiveness of the potion he had made. She literally broke Sabaki thoroughly.
Just as her cruel temper is written in the setting book. Only with the tenacity to harass the accused.
And the guy who was left in pain for 600 years is now in a state corresponding to that.
“Whoa… .”
breathing is trembling The sound of my trembling breathing continued until the sound of his footsteps disappeared. When the stench he left behind was dispelled, I was finally able to breathe properly again.
“This is really X… .”
I was sure.
The main character of this game, Taro Sabaki.
He ‘goes mad’.
And if the hint of the true ending route that Escomin gave me was really to enlarge random numbers like Jackal did… .
So, if you have to attack all the main female characters here… .
I have to become the rival of that crazy main character.
