Episode 231
60. Doubt(2)
“Huh… … Huh… … .”
I took a rough breath. It was because of the non-stop running from the South Terrier’s Warp Gate to the Halls of Time and Space.
Fortunately, as I expected, Lorna-senpai was there.
“Sanwoo, you… … .”
“Wait, hoo! Whoo!! Now, wait a minute… … .”
He waved his hands and sat down on the spot. My heart felt like it was going to explode as I ran through a distance that would have taken an hour on foot in 30 minutes.
Lorna-senpai waited quietly by my side until I was completely calm.
“I almost died.”
He picks his breath, and the pounding of his heart slows down little by little.
As I stood up, brushing the dirt off my pants, Rona-senpai asked with a surprised expression.
“How did you know I was here?”
“When I asked Uncle Doo-seok. You said you were suddenly absent from work today. If it’s not our business, it’s probably about ‘time’.”
“You are skilled.”
“Why don’t I just set up an organization called the Illuminati and run it well?”
I smiled slyly and gave it away. Rona-senpai’s gaze returns from me to the entrance of the cave again.
Hall of Construction.
Originally, Rona-senpai- So, White Rona had to fulfill her duty and become a transcendent of time and space, freeing Black Rona from the yoke of the halls.
The senior, who acquired another personality in the process, chose to remain in this world rather than sacrifice himself.
Beyond that cave.
There is another Rona who still resents the senior.
“The flow of time is twisting.”
Rona-senpai said with her blonde hair fluttering.
The light that spreads from the time crystal, which has a soft green color, sparkles and breaks in her hair.
“Is that so?”
After uttering a bitter word, Rona asks with a slightly puzzled look.
“Didn’t you expect it to some extent?”
“no. Until now… … I knew it as a simple incident, but today it has become more certain.”
“Work today?”
“Didn’t you hear what happened?”
Rona-senpai nodded instead of answering.
It was late in the morning when he was put into the Hisperiif, so the news that a new dungeon had already been created in it must have spread long ago.
Apparently, she had been organizing her thoughts here all day.
“The dungeon hidden under the Hisperif has been opened.”
I told Lorna everything I had been through a while ago.
About the hive mind.
Although Camila and Illyana and several other Illuminati colleagues are aware of the fact that I am a ‘player’ and know the future of the world.
Only Lorna knew what I was really going to be.
She must have been the only heroine in the Baeksanwoo DLC.

Maybe that’s why, compared to other friends who are somewhat reluctant to Nabe and Amodea.As much as Lorna-senpai, she has been hanging out with the dreamers all along.
“When was the original expectation?”
“The end of next year.”
“… … I see.”
After saying that, Lorna closed her eyes and floated in the sky.
As she spread her arms wide, a unique magic circle that only her could use on Paradise Island—or in the whole world—was developed.
time magic.
As if to prove that fact, the time crystal that had risen around the entrance flashed and resonated.
Soon after, the magic and mana of the forest were mixed to form a clock.
“Notre Dame Time Rail.”
As I chanted the chant, the concentrated mana exploded. Then, a celestial structure that looked like the one from the Ortana Faculty’s Golden Vault was erected in front of her.
Of course, if the structures at that time were made of materials including metal.
Although it was different now that it was a crystal of pure mana.
Lorna-senpai slowly turned the celestial structure round and round, observing the results.
‘Ability’ that can only be used by those chosen as the transcendent of time and space.
It was the greatest power possessed by Lorna Aztel, and it was also the cause of all misfortune.
“Like I said before, you, like me, are not bound by the flow of the world.”
tock. tock tock.
Each time Lorna moved her finger, the band of mana surrounding the structure rotated smoothly.
‘It’s the second time I’ve seen it, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s like a status window.’
However, the principle is slightly different from the status window.
It was like I was being corrected by the world, and she was a unique ability that she had achieved in her own way.
“The flow of the world is fine, but… … Would you like to come here for a moment?”
As I approached her, I saw a line shining like an emerald.
“This line represents the four unique timelines of the Baeksanwoo. Can you feel the mana moving so fast?”
“Yes, besides, you keep collide with this big line?”
Dozens or hundreds of thin lines were filled on the top of the Earth-like planet.
The thickest of these lines, like Saturn’s rings, ran all the way around the planet.
Isn’t the ‘my timeline’ pointed out by Lorna-senpai constantly bumping into that ring?
Each time the ring and the line collided, a tiny spark flew over the surface of the ring.
“That’s right.”
At that moment I realized
The fact that my timeline has accelerated so much that I am forcibly pulling the time of the world.
“Sanwoo, you are such a big variable in the world. Even the butterfly effect that has already evoked is enormous.”
I couldn’t deny it.
But isn’t that justifiable? The butterfly effect has already begun, and the story has been twisted beyond my control.
If so, I can force myself to go to that scenario.
So that Aidan’s journey can continue even by force.
Decided to be a variable that transcends all variables. Since this was the case, of course, it was also a problem that had to be dealt with.
by the way.
I wonder if this is too much
Everyone else is using 3G, but if I get involved, it becomes 5G.

My goal was to get the scenario right behind the scenes.This is the reason why there are so many problems that cannot be solved without my intervention.
this is not the way i want it
“And Sanwoo, my problems are also intertwined with me. it is not so?”
“Yes, it is.”
The bug fix rate so far is 54.5%.
In fact, over the course of a year, all the bugs have been fixed.
You will be able to achieve 100% only by modifying the new dungeons and scenarios to be opened in the future, and the missing machines you will come across in the process.
And one of those sewing machines.
Perhaps right now, it was clear that Lorna-senpai in front of him was involved.
Black and White.
A scenario of Baek San-woo entangled in the Halls of Time and Space.
It was self-evident that I had to clear it someday, but I’m not even sure when I will do it.
“It is not me who is connected to you now, but me who is tied to the hall. Her timeline is moving just as fast as you.”
Saying that, Lorna released the magic circle that was in motion.
The mana that had been elaborately clustered quickly became a haze and dispersed.
“Soon, Rona will wake up again. I feel it.”
“Yes?”
“That’s why I’m here now.”
“no… … Three years later!”
I remember wisely.
The day that the whole time of Paradise Island stopped.
Senior Lorna had said that it would take three years for his other personality to recover and wake up.
This promise is different.
When I shouted like it was nonsense, Lorna’s expression distorted.
“Baeksanwoo, you idiot! It’s your fault!”
Finally, she couldn’t stand it and cried.
“It’s okay to try to control variables. But it went too deep. Of course, you were trying to fix it on your other side, but instead, the passage of time is affected by that!!”
“no!! So what do you do? It’s already been done, and if I don’t fix it, no one can fix it!”
“Then don’t do anything from now on! Isn’t that why you came too? Because the future is moving faster than you expected!”
“Aren’t you going to do anything?”
“okay!!”
“Then you won’t wake up Lorna and other strange things won’t happen?”
“I don’t know! I can only tell the passage of time, I don’t know exactly what will happen!”
Lorna-senpai, who is excited and shakes her body.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with what she said. ‘Cause it’s what I did from start to finish.
Rather, it was me who came out as the enemy.
“And I mean. Sanwoo, you said it yourself! The reason you founded the Illuminati is to support Aidan!!”
“Yes.”
“Didn’t you feel it in the last ancient Artel battle? That Ain is still not enough!”
the moment you hear it.
hooked.
stabbed the corner
‘Yeah, right. Suddenly, something strange happened… … .’
What was the reason for conducting an alchemy class with Aidan and his girlfriend Karin during last winter vacation?
It was to train Aidan’s own strength.
But now it’s not even doing that.
I seemed to know something.
I am-
Without realizing it, I was trying to take over everything.
It’s not just a matter of compensation.
To be precise, it means that I am judging ‘I can’t do it’ if it is not me.
I decided to become a variable that controls the variable, but the path I wanted was the route where ‘Aidan Christopher’ was active.
Didn’t the Hive Mind tell me to deal with the Gaelum of the Liberation Front right away?
It is Aidan, not me, who has to deal with Gayroom.
However, I decided that ‘of course I had to deal with it’ and passed it on.
In other words.
In the original world, the main character had been excluded at some point.
Just a member of the Illuminati.
You only thought of him as a powerful companion like Camilla and George… … .
Still, the officially announced heroes are Aidan and Ishtar.
He was adding self-rationalization to the illusory result.
“Are you feeling the problem now?”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, I was silent. tacit affirmation.
“Ugh.”
Lona-senpai, who heard that, sighed in frustration.
“Sanwoo. You did your best so far. It was the same when Illyana disappeared.”
“It was.”
“It is also true that it was an incident that could not have been resolved without you.”
“yes.”
“So now we have to take a fundamental approach. Why did this happen?”
imbalance of the protagonist.
Since I faced Hive Mind today, it felt like my head, which I had been thinking about all along, was organized at once.
‘Now the world is… … You are riding the Baeksanwoo route.’
Aidan Christopher is the protagonist.
And at the same time, I am the protagonist.
Out of the two main characters, who do you spend more time on? … . It determines the direction of the world.
I don’t know the inhabitants of Paradise Island, so are you okay?
That optimistic way of thinking was ruined. Isn’t this a world that follows the mechanics of the game called Paradise Academia?
Just because the main character doesn’t reveal it doesn’t hide the fact that he did it.
Bugfixes and status window.
So, I couldn’t escape the eyes of this world that gave me two absolute abilities that only players can have.
“But it’s still not irreversible.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Then what will you do next?”
“I… … .”
Looking at her seriously asking, I pulled out the answer I had buried deep in my heart.
“I’m not going to do anything.”
As of today, Sanwoo Baek has declared a strike.
