Episode 137. Summon & Cave Director’s Cut
“This person is also on Earth. my companions.”
“Oh, was it? Excuse me.”
The deputy chief, a servant of House Throttle, heard the butler’s warning not to touch Burnhead’s nerves, so he let the two men into the train without a word.
baaan—
– A dimensional train bound for Earth, departs. Customers, please take a seat.
As only the white noise of the train breaking through the dimensional walls rang in his ears, Sombrio expressed his gratitude to Burnhead in a small voice.
“Thank you.”
“Thank you. It’s a debt, pay it off.”
Seeing her shrugging her shoulders with a humorous smile, Sombrio also shook the corners of her mouth.
“I don’t remember.”
“Oh, I remember when I got on the train. Was it last year, I went to Sherid the planet—”
Rumble!
As Burnhead was putting his travel log into his mouth for a long time, the first train’s back door opened and Verdeison rolled in, breathing heavily.
“Ugh, that’s tough.”
The person who broke in was Vallarka, the ace of the 91st Division of the Verde Allied Forces, who had been attached to the floor of the train until now, after finding out through the military’s connections that the train to Earth was urgently organized.
As Sombrio and Burnhead looked at each other with wary eyes, she put her thick arms on the headrests of both seats and smiled brightly.
“Let’s go together. What is that debt? Because you can hang it on me too.”

About 30 years ago. There was such a thing as a hologram idol.
This content, which was created with the unique idea of a certain awakening person, was hugely popular because anyone could upload their own character online and turn them into idols just by installing the app.
His tendencies and talents change depending on which site and video he shows, and later he auditioned for an entertainment company and became a full-fledged idol.
At a time when a kind of singularity is about to occur, when the line between humans and holograms is blurring, this hologram idol disappears in an instant.
The Awakener, the core of this content, died.
Here’s what the killer said:
“I couldn’t let my daughter create a world of brothels again.”
The murderer was sentenced to death and sentenced to life imprisonment. In addition, a large number of people who did terrible things using hologram idols were arrested.
It was an event that left a huge scar on the world.
This is the reason why it was not released even though it has reached the level of realization of hologram idols only with current science and technology.
But. Somewhere, there are individuals who do not care about the world’s criticism.
“hello! This is your idol, Riga! Today we are going to make Parsongsong Cheese Ramen. Please follow along!”
The first was the bus stop.
A street where people who think of it as a new signboard made of holograms pass by indifferently.
Idol ‘Riga’ took out kitchen tools and ingredients, started eating with that comment, and spread olfactory data everywhere.
“Wow, smell art.”
“Hey, let’s go eat ramen.”
“Is that so?”
6 pm. Because it was a performance tailored to the working hours, office workers and other students visited a nearby ramen shop or bought ramen to cook at home.
After that, rumors spread that hologram idols appeared again when Riga expanded their activities to in front of major bus stops or stations in Seoul.
“Director Park. Idol Riga, you know?”
“Yes, I saw you this morning.”
“He’s always showing up, so let’s shoot an ad right now.”
“Yes? You are a hologram idol, right?
“Not now. And don’t you know it’s more of an issue if there isn’t?”

Just as the artist’s work is more valuable. As the president urged, the manager hurriedly shook his head and exited the conference room.
Such scenery was unfolding in several places.
Thus, Riga accepted all the high-priced advertisements using the advantage of being a hologram without time and space limitations and finished filming in a short time.
The next day, at the station, I could see Riga promoting all kinds of corporate products and food.
Only one month from the first appearance at the bus stop. Within that short time, Riga became a global PPL idol, and despite only commercial activities, the fandom was considerable.
that’s the reason.
“You still haven’t caught it?”
“He couldn’t catch it.”
“why?”
“There is no way to find the creator.”
“… Seriously, it wouldn’t be normal to make such a realistic hologram.”
“There is such a thing, and unlike it was then, it was not opened to the private sector, and it is helpful for crime prevention.”
“Crime prevention?”
“Did you hear the rumor that Riga caught the villain?”
“It’s a rumor spread by polar fans.”
“It’s real. The video must be running by now?”
According to a friend who works at the presidential secretary’s office, the video uploaded to You Tube shows Riga appearing in front of an adult man with a knife and running at a child and stopping him by surprise.
While Riga buys time by adjusting the brightness of the lights, the police arrive and subdue the villain with a high-intensity taser gun.
“Oh, it looks like you have a good program.”
“… okay.”
Kim Joong-seok, secretary of the Secretariat, did not even mention the fact that inside the Blue House, Riga is viewed as a person who actually thinks and judges.
Even the fact that global corporations have put pressure on them, making it impossible to impose sanctions.
After that, Riga, who spread out to various parts of the world under the tacit acceptance of the state, suddenly unilaterally notified that all contracts would be delayed by ten days. Played one video.

The video dealt with the battle scene between the female protagonist, Queen, and Balfarok.
On the first day, the records of the 10 days they spent in the five communes were compressed into 60 minutes and transmitted, and those who saw it through various media were astonished.
“It’s a video that doesn’t exist anywhere.”
“Did you make it?”
“I’m working on CG, but I didn’t work with tools.”
“Is it all real?”
“With high probability.”
As a result of analyzing the video by various experts, it was confirmed that there was no artificial intervention in the battle itself.
Of course, the brutal scenes were mosaiced or blurred, but as anyone can see, they were just covered with the existing video, so they were shot separately.
On the ninth day, when the male protagonist, Roman, who tore the cocoon, rescues Queen and defeats Balparok, everyone spit out cursing and cheering at the same time.
“Come out soon!”
“Our queen almost died!”
“It’s not too late, though.”
“What is a Ji-Hero!”
When the balparok collapsed and the roman held the queen, those who watched with the family covered the child’s eyes or coughed in vain.
“Kuhm!”
“Daughter, I’ll see you when you’re a little older.”
“Look! I know it all!”
“… know? what? yes?”
However, the scene that followed was not the kiss they expected, but the oral administration of a potion, which was supposed to be a healing agent, and the scene where the Queen was thrown into an unknown tank.
And the ending credits go up.

… .
“Khahaha!”
“Kyunghak!”
The process was arduous, but people were satisfied because the main characters met and ended happily, and they left comments in various communities that they were looking forward to the next season.
And the fact that the place called Milky Mining in the end credits is a real company became a hot topic for some classes, and they approached it in various ways, but they encountered only the middle managers hired by Richett.
next day.
A new video, titled Director’s Cut, was played through Riga.
[The final battle!]
[Director’s cut first release! A deity from the subspecies! Press down the participants with overwhelming force.]
While the 9-day video focused on capturing Queen’s growth, the final director’s cut focused on the male protagonist.
It started with an introduction to the last 16 survivors, and briefly showed their pasts and activities.
– You’re already the last player. From subspecies to divinity! A man who skipped several steps at a time into a cocoon, and a man who kneeled a Verdejong warrior with his fingers! Looh man!
Doo doo doo doo!
Roman, who appeared while playing old hip-hop music with earth-type speakers from where he got it, skillfully drew the audience’s response and walked towards the center of the stadium where the other players were standing.
When Roman arrived, the sphere made of tree roots floating next to him trembled and swung around, swinging one of the stems extending out in all directions.
Roman took a step back as a sharp stalk brushed past the tip of his nose.
– Oh, I’m sorry. My summons are arbitrary. you understand
“That bad boy!”
“After all, there must be a guy like that.”
“I just remembered, pointed-eared child!”
Fuelud, a summoner who pulls a bundle of tree roots into his arms.
He was smiling on the outside, but on the inside he was very upset.
‘I thought that the story that the subspecies had acquired the status of divine was inflated to make the program an issue.’
Felude had to make every effort not to notice the blue complexion, seeing the way he was leisurely avoiding the surprise attack, or the romantic figure with a calm expression like other gods.
– The first game, we will proceed.
The moderator was nowhere to be seen and only a sound echoed in the air, but the players sensed his body and drew their attention to the relay seats placed outside the stadium.
-From now on, please nominate the opponent you want. If he accepts, the confrontation begins.
The 15 players who were driven to the place where the invisible host used to be, this time are obsessed with Roman.
-Hey, let’s stick with the boys!
– I’ll kill you without pain.
– Even if you die, I will resurrect you with my power.
Roman looked at the players with calm eyes, and pointed out the sharp-eyed man who had wounded his nose a while ago.
– You and me.
– Do not regret.
When Roman accepted the pointy ghost man’s application for a match, a magic circle formed under the feet of the players except for the two, and all were moved to the audience.
– Contrary to the rules of the past, there is no surrender. Only the death of the enemy is your victory!
Tung!
The moderator quickly recited the prepared remarks and then fired an unobtrusive beep in the air to announce the start of the match.
Immediately after, the Roman horn, which had been curled at the end, spread out diagonally and at the same time, a huge amount of mana exploded.
-Dragna, put erosive sap on him, huh?
shoot ah… .
For a brief moment when the eyelids closed and opened, the scenery of the stadium had changed to the beach of a planet that had been completely terraformed.
The spiky ghost was perplexed, but his pet, Dragna, faithfully carried out his master’s orders.
Dragna, who uses multiple stems to spray the erosive sap that contaminates the soul by putting it on mind control just by touching it.
However, the liquids did not reach Roman.
Zhuung—
This is because all substances around the summoner and the summoner were evaporated by the white light beam that was shot through the stadium ceiling.
tooth profit.
The heated heat returns to its original temperature due to the seawater embodied by Roman.
Wow!
Unlike the spectators cheering for the splendid spectacle, the players murmured among themselves and questioned whether there was any outside cooperation.
– Wait a minute, and we’ll see what happened. … Yeah! It is said that the space battleship, the Nexus, which appeared outside the event hall, hit it accurately. It’s one of Roman’s weapons! The reason the five cavities collapsed was because of that energy cannon.
Although it is said to be inferior among the higher levels, some players were greatly embarrassed when the high-ranking pointed gwi-nam died in vain.
-moderator.
At that time, Roman calls the moderator.
-Yes?
-Tell me to come next time.
