320 – Side Story: Another World – 3
“Game? What was it?”
Caicilia tilted her head. Although the expressions I used in my world communicated without any problems, it seemed that I couldn’t recognize the words of a concept that didn’t exist at all.
Maybe Minerva was curious about the first words she heard, so she raised her head and looked this way. Aurora also crept up to me with her golden eyes shining.
“Please sit here for now.”
I pulled the chair back and tapped the cushion. Cai Kilia, sitting in her chair, casually crossed her legs. She was a gaming chair bought with expensive money, so she seemed to like the feeling of her sitting.
She stood behind her chair, trying to avert her eyes from her cleavage, which was barely exposed because of her posture from above and the area of her uniform.
“Sir… ….”
She leaned over Kai Kilia and pressed her face onto her shoulder. Cayquilia flinched as her cheek slipped away. Her fingers wriggled down the skirt of her uniform.
She moved her mouse and clicked the only game icon on the desktop. Along with the familiar loading screen, the logo of Brightest Darkness 4 came to mind and magnificent music was heard.
Minerva and Aurora looked at the monitor with eyes full of interest. Minerva’s personality is that when she has a question, she has to solve it to solve her problem, and her younger brother, Laura, was formidably curious.
‘I’ve been curious since before.’
What kind of reaction will the person who became the motif of the NPCs in Bnu 4 show when his/her appearance appears in the game?
‘It won’t be a good reaction for now.’
He laughed bitterly inside. The world eater who copied my knowledge took out the appearances of the 4 NPCs and made them fight.
When I cleared the first round, I thought I should stick close to you. This was to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
“It’s amazing. It is a letter I have never seen before, but I can read it without hesitation.”
Kai Kilia muttered, running her finger slowly through her logo of ‘The Brightest Darkness IV’ that floated on her monitor.
“The Goddess has arranged for us not to experience any inconvenience due to language.”
By bringing us here, Eclipse showed off her majesty as a goddess and creator for the first time in a while.
Because we have changed the perception of the world’s population so that there is not even the slightest speculation that it came from another world, and we have made every effort to prevent problems with our food, clothing and shelter.
Clearing the language barrier was, of course, included in all her efforts. Just like I went into the world of Eclipse and had no problems with the language.
“I’ll explain the simple controls before we start. Other than that…… Hmm. You just learn by dying. Because the Brün series is originally such a game.”
“Dying? What would you like to kill?”
His golden eyes sharpened in an instant. Although she has been living the unemployed swan life all along lately, Caicilia was still Cacilia.
“I don’t mean that, Caicilia. I mean the character you control in the game. You don’t have to kill someone yourself or die.”
“Hmm…… I don’t get it, but since it’s what you say, I’ll follow it. Go on.”
Press the New Game button and press Esc repeatedly to skip the cutscene. As the character creation window appeared, a familiar default character appeared.
I finished the basic settings with just my senses without looking properly.
‘The past history is a knight, and the items given in the beginning should be about the ring of life. Gender is definitely better for women. Let’s just name it Caicilia.’
Because the karma function has not been very good for generations, I tried to start with the default female character after changing only the hair color and eye color, but stopped the mouse when I saw a selection window that I could not see.
‘Click on this. Your goddess?’
Unlike the traditional handwriting of the Brünt series, in which descriptions are put in one line as much as possible to make it look like there is something, there is no period, and free batang fonts are used, the round letters are close to handwriting.
When I clicked on the selection window as instructed, the appearance of the character changed with a short loading.
“This is…… Wasn’t it me?”
With the same appearance as Caicilia.
Kai Killia saw a woman who looked just like herself appear on her monitor, and she began to look around curiously. Except for her head, she was wrapped tightly in her armor, so even her body shape was unrecognizable.
“Is this some kind of alter ego, kid?”
Aurora and Minerva approached from both sides before they knew it and thrust their heads in. A character resembling Caicilia seemed quite strange.
“It’s an alter ego…… It is not entirely wrong.”
There is a saying that a character is an alter ego of a user.
“But why do you look like your aunt? No, not just a resemblance, they look exactly the same?”
“The Goddess changed it like this. I think he foresaw the fact that I was going to try Brightest Darkness 4 with Caicilia.”
Of course, Eclipse was capable of that. She was busy taking care of her own world, so there was no reason for her to act as a creator god in other worlds, but there was absolutely nothing she couldn’t do.
Of course, when the World Eater ran amok, I was right.
“What can I do now, Delta?”
“Just click on the section that says ‘Get Started’. The act of holding the mouse like this and pressing it briefly with only a little force with your index finger is called a click.”
“I understand. Did you say something like this?”
After clicking the mouse several times in the air, Caicilia moved the cursor to the start button to see if the adaptation was over. With a grand thump, the screen went dark, and the inside of the prison appeared.
Kai Killia frowned when she saw a character resembling her stand up inside the prison cell. As soon as she started, she didn’t like the fact that she was in prison.
‘What, they start by giving clothes?’
It was a uniform that looked just like the one Caicilia was wearing. In Bryan 4, even if it was a female character, without exception, she was sent out with only her breast covering and face covering loosely.
Since she imitated her self and her creatures, it seemed like an exception was made this time.
“Delta. Why did this woman raise her body in prison? She can’t control a prisoner in my form, so she must be charged.”
“I am not a real prisoner. You can assume that she has been framed in some way.”
“It’s a false name. If she gets out of this prison, she’ll have to punish him first.”
“The opportunity will definitely come later. Once you have her mouse rotated to make sure the sensitivity is correct, place her four fingers, excluding her left thumb, on W, A, S, and D. Place your thumb on the longest button. It’s called the space bar.”
While Kai Killia carefully checked her sense of manipulation, her time passed steadily. Kai Kilia, who had finished setting up her operation just in time for her prisoners to flee, questioned again.
“When can I get out of this prison?”
“I can leave soon. For now, stick to the wall opposite the grate.”
As soon as I finished my words, a human butcher appeared outside the bars.
The bastard looked around him and, bending lightly at his bars, entered the prison opposite. The shrieking screams of the prisoner echoed.
“That… ….”
Kai Killia moved her character around by pressing the keys on her keyboard, but the tightly closed iron bars would not open.
In the meantime, the human butcher who brutally beat the prisoner to death in the prison opposite came this way. Cay Killia, who had stopped her manipulation, looked back at me.
“There are no possible actions. You can’t kill it, you can’t get out of here. How long do I have to stay like this?”
“Just wait a little longer. Also, didn’t I tell you to step back to the wall opposite the grate?”
“Back off? If it just attacks while it’s tearing through the bars—what?!”
Cai Killia, who was throwing up at my words, crumpled her iron bars and entered her keyboard and mouse in a panic as soon as the human butcher snatched her character away.
But that couldn’t work. Power was in the hands of the human butcher. Fast! With the sound of bones breaking, the character’s waist folded in half.
The character coughed up blood and rolled on the floor. Even then, it was still alive, but a huge blunt instrument was struck at the struggling torso. The head that was hit by the blunt weapon exploded like a watermelon bursting.
The screen was stained with blood and the words ‘You died’ came to mind.
“… ….”
When a character who looked just like her was horribly killed, Kai Killia stared blankly at her face, unable to even think of her anger.
As if Minerva was having fun with Kai Kilia’s reaction, she smiled brightly. As if asking if Aurora was right, she looked back at me cautiously. Nodded her head.
“This is…… How did this happen? Why can’t you do anything? No matter how bare-handed it is, isn’t it okay to attack or whatever. Why didn’t you put up any resistance?”
“Didn’t I tell you? There’s nothing you can do right now. You must run away right now. Killing him will come later.”
“…… I get it. I will obey you, so explain what to do after that. Did I tell you to stick to the wall opposite the grate?”
The shock must have been quite large, and it was surprisingly easy to understand.
“What are you doing there, Delta?”
After touring the kitchen, the knight commanders approached. First, Lize pushed her head in, and then unexpectedly Iris. Iris widened her eyes at the sight of her prison cell.
“Delta, this is…….”
“Shh.”
I raised her index finger and brought it to her mouth before Iris did her spoiler. Recognizing the meaning of the gesture, Iris quietly shut her mouth. She still wanted to keep it a secret about Brunet 4.
She noticed something and stared at me, but maybe it was because she also confirmed the gesture to be quiet, all she did was smile and put her index finger to her lips as if imitating me.
In the meantime, the prison floor, which could not withstand the load of the human butcher, collapsed, and the screen went black for a while, and then a cutscene was played in which the character escaped from the rubble.
“It was as you said. Did you say that this is the real beginning?”
“Yes.”
As soon as the cutscene ended, Kai Killia, who had carefully read the control instructions displayed on the prison floor, got a wooden blunt under her stairs and went upstairs to kill all the prisoners with the concept of junk mobs.
Not a single hit.
‘…… What?’
Looking at Caicilia picking up a longsword in full blood, her eyes were dumbfounded. She must have just memorized the controls and she looked intently at the monitor she hadn’t. But how?
Caiquilia’s talent didn’t end there. Cai Killia, who faced the mid-boss with only a longsword without her armor, she also dealt with the mid-boss very lightly with parrying and rolling without taking a single hit.
Her growth rate was unbelievable even for a beginner who had only heard about it a few times.
‘Yes. This must have something to do with her physical abilities.’
It doesn’t matter if you’ve memorized all of her patterns like me, but if it’s a pattern you’ve never seen before, she’s reacting to the attack depends solely on her own reflexes.
A field where Kai Kilia can unleash her skills. Even if it’s not limited to Caicilia, most of the girls around me will show similar skills.
People who can ‘see’ and react to an attack in real life can’t avoid it with a mouse and keyboard. It’s also a pattern that definitely exists in the first deal and the second deal to give a little room for response.
“Did you say this was a game? It’s nothing.”
After beating her mid-boss without damage, Kai Kilia, with my surprised expression on her back, triumphantly began her first encounter with the human butcher.
“… ….”
She was hooked on the off-beat pattern, and after saying “You died”, She was silent.
