<Aaron Side Story Episode 2>
1. Pure for One (2)
A company representative knocking down a table.
The office went cold in an instant.
“Well, we are doing our best too… … .”
“Show me. plan. Have you been fixing it?”
“That, that… … .”
“No way, is it flying?”
“That, Ikar-nim wrote it… … .”
“You shouldn’t be making the project fun. Isn’t it your business?”
“Yes, but… … .”
“Give it to me.”
The girl picks up the report that the team leader hesitated to hold out.
The girl’s gaze read through the report.
<Pick me up!>
<Project Plan>
<Author – Goddess of Mercy, Ikar.>
<Please take good care of everyone! ^^>
<Let’s work hard together!>
The plan moves to the next chapter.
<There is only one reason why this project should be completed.>
<To save our Mobius.>
<Life is now suffering in front of the crisis of destruction.>
<Please lend your strength.>

<As a result of the Pantheon’s meeting, it was concluded that it would be difficult to save Mobius with our own strength.>
<Therefore, by launching the Pick Me Up Project and gaining the influence of Earth, the highest dimension, we want to secure the power to intervene to change the fate of destruction.>
<We, Moebius, want to acquire the Earth’s interference power in the form of a mobile game. If you become a famous mobile game on Earth and get attention, you can acquire enough interference power with that alone.>
<The fate of Moebius depends on the success of this game!>

<It is said that a genre called lottery game is popular in the global mobile game market these days.>
<I also researched the genre in my own way and wrote a plan! ^_^>
next page.
From there, the settings for the game called Pick Me Up are written.
Mobile game, Pick Me Up.
The catchphrase is a summoning RPG where peace and hope come true.
Basically, players (masters) acquire heroes through summoning.
It is a way to advance by clearing the stage with that hero.
However, there is something quite peculiar about it.
Usually in games like this, you fight and kill the enemies placed on the stage, but Pick Me Up is not like that.
Heroes don’t fight on stage.
exchange through dialogue. Persuasion through action. “Persuade” the opponent through commands such as asserting beliefs.
If the persuasion succeeds, the stage is cleared.
A bloody tragedy in which blood and flesh splattered.
It never happens in the world of pick me up.
Even if it’s just a game thing.
“… … .”
Therefore, the unique values of the heroes are also different.
Instead of strength or agility, they have special abilities such as charm, intelligence, and speech skills.
Growing this individual’s abilities through various events and training to ‘persuade’ opponents, not fight each other, and achieve true peace in the game world by harmonizing together.
Pick me up was the goal of the game.
“Are you kidding me?”
Taktak.
The girl slammed the stack of reports on the edge of the table.
“what? What about peace and harmony? Will this game be successful? Persuasion sucks. It’s best when the game fights brilliantly. just smash it thump to death huh?”
“That is… … It’s a plan made by Ikar… … .”
“You can change it if you know how to notice it. Aren’t you getting paid for that?”
“Then the CEO spoke directly to him… … .”
“shut up! You know what to do!”
The team leader crumpled his face as if he was unfair.
“And what is this? It makes it possible to enjoy it even if you don’t have any hyeonjil… … huh? do you mean this? Fuck it. Hyeonjil factor, put it in the middle of the day. If you don’t spend money, don’t let me play. Where do you want to eat raw for free?”
“That is… … Ikar… … .”
“So, that means you haven’t changed a thing.”
“sorry.”
“Give me a week. Change it to the right one. Something that can explode unconditionally.”
one week?
The chief opened his eyes wide.
“no?”
“Oh no! I’ll try my best.”
The team leader accepts the report presented by the girl.
“Then let’s change the concept… … .”
“how? How are you going to change it?”
“I am thinking.”
“For the game to explode, there must be a part where the bread explodes. The graphics are inexhaustibly gorgeous. or the scale is enormous. Can we make something like that into our game?”
“I’ll try my best.”
thought. effort. examine. best.
I’m sick of it. The girl looks at her team leader with her eyes narrowed.
Then, all of a sudden, he spit it out.
“It won’t matter.”
“yes?”
“Even if Moebius perishes.”
The girl’s voice grew cold.
The team leader was at a loss as he did not know the boss’s intentions.
“Even if you fail, you can go somewhere else. So whether this project fails or not has nothing to do with you.”
“That is not so!”
“No matter what happens to Möbius, it’s someone else’s job anyway. yes? Because I am not a party.”
“No, sir!”
“are you okay. Be honest. I like honest people.”
The team leader met the girl’s eyes.
A girl with smooth black hair and red eyes.
However, her eyes are as deep as the deep sea, which does not match her appearance.
She is one of the two axes that lead Mobius’ pantheon.
The goddess of innocence, Tell.
Along with her twin sister Ikar, the goddess of mercy and loving-kindness, she was the highest deity worshiped in all Moebius dimensions.
What she hates most is lies and hypocrisy.
She likes people who are pure in their hearts and desires.
Regardless of good or evil.
“actually.”
To lie in front of her is to risk one’s life.
The team leader muttered as if confessing.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it… … I think.”
“Can not help it?”
“I am also attached to Moebius. It’s where I was in charge. It’s our hometown. But the law has come to an end. If so, isn’t there a way?”
The team leader looked at the girl.
It was because I wanted to say something I didn’t like.
The girl just smiled.
“so do i.”
“yes?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. I’m dying of old age, what can I add? I am not sick.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Then, will you leave here when the development is finished?”
“Perhaps. If it’s late… … .”
A universe facing destruction.
What if the escape is delayed?
It is only left in the abyss of oblivion.
“Do you think you will fail?”
“that… … .”
“Pick Me Up Project.”
“… … .”
“Tell me honestly. without lies.”
The team leader hesitated several times.
He is also a high-ranking spirit who has managed the various dimensions of Mobius for a long time.
You have your own insights.
“Even if the game succeeds and secures a lot of interference, it is not enough. You may be able to delay the destruction, but you will not be able to reverse it.”
Girl, Tell nodded.
The purpose of the Pick Me Up Project is to acquire Earth’s interference power.
However, no matter how much interference is gathered, the fundamental result cannot be reversed.
In order for a universe to have life, it must radiate its own power.
Like a star, it must constantly burn with its own power.
Even if fuel is put into a star that has cooled down, how long will the light last?
only delaying destruction.
finally can’t stop it.
Of course, there is a theoretical way.
If the fuel to put in is infinite, the burning period must be infinite.
But where does that infinite energy come from?
No matter how successful the game is, the interference power it can draw from the earth is limited.
In the first place, from attracting Earth, the highest dimension, to accompanying enormous risks.
Möbius itself can be torn apart if connected incorrectly.
“So, since it’s not my job, will you just fill up the seats and leave?”
“No, no!”
“shut up. Bring me the proposal revision within a week. I know if I’m late, I’ll look back.”
The girl left the crying team leader and walked away.
“What you looking at? You guys are all the same. I think they’ll let you go easily if you just kill time, huh?”
flinch.
Employees stop working for a moment.
Tel clicked his tongue and left the office.
A corridor stretched out in front of me.
There were several offices similar to the previous one in this hallway.
It seems that her sister, Ikar, has been going around the office, serving coffee, and promising dinner tonight, but that’s nonsense.
Tel took out a work smartphone and sent a group text message saying that there would never be a dinner party today.
Giing.
The sound of the elevator moving.
The mechanical box with Tell is on its way to the top floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a panoramic view of the boarding room was revealed.
“Ah, sister, are you here?”
right side of the boardroom.
A girl with a similar appearance to Tell welcomed me.
She is engrossed in her work, tapping the keyboard on her desk.
“uh.”
Tell gave a rough answer and headed to his seat on the left.
On the desk, there was a nameplate announcing the title of co-CEO of Mobius.
A soft leather chair greeted Tell.
“… … .”
Kirik.
The leather chair is back.
Then, the scenery of the glass-fronted boarding room was revealed.
This is the top floor of a high-rise building.
The night view of the long stretched out city was revealed.
city of the gods.
Zero-dimensional Eden.
At one time, instead of buildings, roads, and cars, this place was occupied by majestic marble buildings and splendid and spacious gardens.
At that time, this place was called the Pantheon.
It wasn’t long before such an old-fashioned place was transformed into a modern one.
It was after the chairperson in charge of the meeting of the pantheon changed from the sage of Samra, Lecadis, to the twin goddesses.
Take off the old culture and put it in the new one.
Gods and spirits shed their outdated clothing and old civilization and embraced the newest earth-style culture.
What was born like that was the new city in front of me, Eden.
“… … .”
Tell recalled the past.
At the time of being elected chairman, his younger sister, Ikar, was smiling brighter than anyone else and expressing his aspirations.
“My sister and I’s goal is for everyone in Mobius to live happily! There are many shortcomings and shortcomings, but I will try my best. Please take a good look at it!”
A girl wearing a sky-high cloth is walking through the corridor receiving congratulations from the gods.
Next to him, Tell with a sad expression walked along.
“Tel Ikar. I will ask for Mobius from now on. Would you be more confident than an old man who only waits for the day he will die like me?”
The former chairman of the Pantheon, Lecadis, claps and laughs.
Currently, he is called Alpha Zero within the company and serves as the director of the game.
“My sister and I will work hard. so that no one suffers. So that everyone in Moebius can live with a smile. I will do my best!”
Ikar with a smile on his face answered.
“Right, sister?”
“If you feel like it.”
“no way!”
Ikar stabbed Tell in the side, but Tell only yawned.
This position was just annoying to Tell.
If my brother hadn’t bothered me by saying it was a wish of a lifetime, I would have ignored it.
“What kind of Moebius are you going to make?”
“I am! Everyone wants to create a peaceful Mobius.”
“Ohh.”
In response to Lecadis’ question, Ikar expressed his strong aspirations.
“Humility to the strong. Mercy to the weak. A world where no one is hurt and no one is unhappy. I want to create such a world!”
Ikar raised his hand and shouted.
Tell sighed.
A world where no one gets hurt.
No such world exists.
“indeed. If that happens, that would be great!”
“Really?”
Lecadis nodded.
Ikar smiled brightly.
‘still.’
It’s better than crying out loud.
Tell thought.
He is a younger brother who cries more than laughs.
Ikar used to cry profusely at every trivial event in the world.
For example, the death of a kitten that no one knows about.
Like the sunflower sprouts that were inadvertently trampled on when the troops passed by.
Like the bodies of passers-by who died without finding water in the desert.
Each time, Ikar cried as if it were his own business.
mercy.
Also called love.
This word means to love and have pity for others.
Ikar, the goddess, did not acquire such a quality because she wanted it.
It was not a personality formed by the process of growth like a human being.
Because he was such a god from the time he was born.
Perhaps if Tell hadn’t been born the other way around, Ikar would have been used as a liver and gallbladder, and then abandoned and destroyed.
It’s a natural-born faggot.
On the other hand, the attribute of Tell is pure.
However, it is completely different from what people imagine.
Because her innocence is the innocence of her heart.
To be true to one’s desires, goals, and heart.
Of course, if you are too faithful to it, you will be condemned as evil.
However, to Tell, the good and evil determined by humans were irrelevant.
He kills others to become pure in his desires.
Murder like this doesn’t matter to Tell.
Rather, they transcended social norms and rules for pure desire.
It was an act that should be encouraged on her part.
This, too, was not obtained because I wanted it.
It’s not even a personality trait.
Because he was such a god from the time he was born.
They are twin goddesses, and the two are one.
When Tell and Ikar are in harmony, the world is in balance.
It was the most representative doctrine of the goddess cult, the most widespread religion in Moebius.
In addition, the Goddess Cult and the Twin Goddesses were also representative gods known to almost all Moebius dimensions.
There were numerous names for each dimension, and the most widely known names were Tell, the goddess of innocence, and Ikar, the goddess of mercy.
Tell shook his head as he listened to his sister’s nonsense about making the world peaceful anyway and making people stop crying.
it can’t be
Even a godhead with immense power could not do anything that was not right.
For example, changing the ideology of all human beings and making them pursue peace.
These things are impossible for any supreme god.
They are called gods and praised, but they are not omnipotent.
Just a watcher and manager.
The role of the gods is to manage the dimension they are assigned to run smoothly.
From the perspective of the universe, he was just a civil servant.
Therefore, when the law sentenced Moebius to its end, trying to reverse the outcome was bound to be a massive rebellion against the universe.
“Why!”
When the end of Moebius was decided.
The three gods leading the pantheon gathered in the Hall of Law.
It was the only place in the pantheon where one could read the laws of the universe.
“It is decided. The law said it.”
“Mobius is over now? We haven’t done anything yet! I couldn’t even wipe anyone’s tears!”
It hasn’t been long since the twin goddesses took office as chairman.
The only thing they did was change the old civilization of the pantheon to the latest earth style.
Afterwards, he tried to carry out Ikar’s far-reaching aspirations.
But an incident happened.
The message of the law was unexpected.
Moebius will end here.
no one could have foreseen
Destruction was pronounced without any warning.
“I can’t… … how could that… … .”
“It’s a pity.”
There was a somber atmosphere between the two.
Meanwhile, Tell was not very impressed.
It’s a pity that Moebius perishes, but how can we undo what has already been decided? so that.
“I can’t accept it.”
When Ikar said that, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
“There must be a way to prevent destruction.”
“Hey, please… … .”
The appearance of the god, Lecadis, changed his complexion.
He must have figured out Ikar’s intentions.
“I swore. To protect the children of Mobius. Even if the law says doom, I will not back down.”
“Hey, are you going to break the law? You want to undo the destruction? If you do, a wave of chaos will engulf this place!”
“Maybe there is a way. I can’t keep my hands off it!”
The two gods began to quarrel.
There, Tell was watching the conversation between the two, one step away.
Ikar said. I want to protect Moebius no matter what.
Lecadis said. He will pay the price for doing that.
The argument went on for a long time.
In the end, the two of them looked at Tell, who was a bystander.
“Is it me again?”
Tell said softly.
“sister.”
Her sister, Ikar, was watching Tell with a desperate expression.
I always made that kind of face when I asked for something absurd.
It was always Tell’s job to clean up after work.
So, Tel replied.
“Simple, what. I try until I try, and if it doesn’t work, I beat it. Grandpa won’t even let go and watch?”
“Disaster will come.”
“I don’t know.”
So treason was decided.
‘Although the intention was good.’
rattle.
Tell stood up from his leather chair.
Walk on the marble floor and walk by the glass-fronted window.
‘Failed.’
At first, I mobilized all the possibilities in Moebius and turned the time axis back several times.
I tried to give the heroes and ancient species belonging to each dimension a chance to resist destruction.
But all such attempts have failed.
The next step was the Pick Me Up Project.
However, even this performance was uncertain.
Under the building, the night view of the city spreads out.
All sorts of lights and lights mixed in a chaotic manner.
But the night sky remains black.
Neither the moon nor the stars rose.
Eventually, the city became a dark place.
Each shining star, one dimension.
Originally, the night sky of Eden was shining with countless stars, illuminating the city. It was a scene that her sister liked.
Not now.
As the dimensions belonging to Moebius continued to perish one after another, the light of the stars gradually disappeared.
And now there is nothing left.
‘All gone.’
Now, the only thing left in Mobius is Eden, the administrator’s dimension.
The rest of the dimensions were instantly destroyed.
No attempt to delay the destruction worked.
‘The sky is black.’
Soon the lights of this city will disappear.
Tell poured the contents of the wine glass into his mouth.
and said
“It’s over, Ikar.”
My sister didn’t answer.
Pretending not to hear, I was engrossed in my work.
At first glance, it looks normal, but there are dark shadows under the eyes.
She hadn’t slept for three days.
“Moebius is over.”
widely. tadak.
The sound of tapping on the keyboard intensified.
