86. Dimensional Rift (1)
The evening after clearing the 20th floor.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
Amkena has logged in.
[Loading has finished.]
[TOUCH ! (selection)]
I put the files in the drawer and stood up.
The record of clearing the 20th floor was written into the file. It was for reference when a similar mission occurred later. When Amkena touched the screen, the main screen of Pick Me Up came to mind. A message was displayed.
[Master, there is a hero waiting to be promoted!]
[Upgradable Hero – ‘Han(★★)’]
I looked at the message window that glowed green.
Yesterday’s clear made my level 20. A 3-star upgrade was possible. However, a 3-star promotion required a slightly rarer material than a 2-star.
[Helpful tips for masters who have broken through the 20th floor!]
[Tips/For a 3-star upgrade, you need an ‘intermediate upgrade seat’. ‘Middle Upgrade Stone’ can be manufactured by combining ‘Low Upgrade Stone’ and ‘Low Soul Stone’. Be aware!]
Isel seems to be doing its job.
I drank all the way through the cooled tea and left the room. When I came out to the square, Isel was moving a cart with goods.
[Oh, are you here?]
Issel saw me and waved.
“What is that?”
[These are the keepsakes of the children who died this time. Used cups and dolls. It’s nothing.]
I looked to the left of the square.
The door to the storage room was open. Through the door, I could see the backs of Edith and Roderick.
‘indeed.’
It seemed like they were cleaning up after the battle.
A minimum of condolences will be needed for the future. Next to the storage room door, Jenna is firmly attached to the wall. Her eyes met Jenna’s and mine, and she pounced.
“what are you doing?”
“I was thinking about going in. I quit because the atmosphere was serious.”
I looked at the contents of the cart.
The rough-cut wooden cup is Usher’s. Sculpture was his hobby. The doll probably belongs to the archer who died this time. The circumstances were unknown. muttered Jenna.
“There’s no third party? It seems there are only two people.”
“Because I couldn’t go up to the second floor.”
“That’s kind of pitiful.”
As the cart entered, the storage room door closed.
I shifted my gaze. There is nothing I can do. With Usher and Diran’s mementos stored in the storage room, Amkenna began the next task. The facility tab was touched.
[You have selected ‘Conversion Station’, an annex of ‘Synthetic Center’. Would you like to build?]
[Yes / No]
Kurur.
A vibration arose on the synthetic side.
[The conversion station is complete! From now on, the hero can be transformed.]
[Good!]
[The upgrade center has evolved to Lv.2! Synthesis efficiency increases.]
I clicked my tongue and said.
“Jenna, what are you going to do?”
“Well, it’s a bit drowsy for training. I’m going to go to the break room. I heard there’s something like chess.”
“Then go.”
“What about your brother?”
“I’m a bit busy.”
Jenna went into the dorm while tilting her head.
Left alone, I sat on a bench in the plaza on the second floor. After a while, a scene of Isel dragging someone out appeared through the transparent floor.
rattle.
The synthesizer’s door opened, but the message was different.
[Master, start transforming!]
[Tips/’Conversion’ tab opened. Transform your hero to get various materials!]
conversion.
It is the second way to utilize useless heroes following synthesis.
The man screamed and struggled, but it didn’t last long. The man was thrown into the synth. The door was closed tightly. After a while.
[Good!]
[Conversion complete!]
[You have obtained the ‘Low Soul Stone’!]
Amkena obtained a soul stone, a material for a 3-star promotion.
Transformation is to turn a hero into an item. Conversion is used when the merit of synthesis is reduced due to the level gap between the target and the sacrifice.
The one who just converted knows.
The things that do nothing even though the upper and lower classes are separated and discriminated against in food, clothing and shelter. It was one of those cases. It wasn’t even worth putting together.
‘It’s not a nice sight.’
I smiled.
Fear was in the eyes of the people hanging out in the square on the first floor. They hurriedly escaped and scattered to the training center and armory. I then stared at the message window that popped up.
[Start item synthesis!]
[Optional Materials – Lesser Attribute Stones, Lesser Soul Stones]
[Complete Item – Intermediate Upgrade Stone]
[Probability of success – 91%]
[Synthesis Method – Automatic]
[Do you want to synthesize?]
[Yes / No]
[Kudang-dang-dang-dang!]
[Fairy Power!]
[Good!]
[Synthesis complete!]
[You have acquired the ‘Intermediate Upgrade Stone’!]
I sat on a bench and looked at the messages that came to mind one after another.
It wasn’t long before Issel came out with an intermediate class seat. The color is similar to the lower class, but the size is different. I took the fist-sized stone and put it in the pouch. The door to the 2nd floor synthetic lab opened. I opened my mouth.
“Is this the second time?”
[There are up to 7 stars, so you only need to do 4 more!]
“By the way, Isel, how much interference have you accumulated? I want to make the next contact with Master.”
[Uh, that’s… … .]
Sweat trickled down Isel’s temples.
“Did you hit a scam?”
[no! Mu-tube, I just watched some mu-tube!]
“I also do some web surfing.”
[That, yes… … . But I can’t help it. In the first place, there are too many heroes! Work, work, work all day long! You look so overworked Because the stress piles up!]
It’s not a lot of work.
I smiled. When Amkena connects, Issel moves without a break. I agreed with Issel’s need for leisure.
“There won’t be any at all. Tell me. I’ll start right away after I get promoted.”
[therefore… … .]
Isel narrowed her eyes and put her hand on her chin. He then spun around in his seat.
[How long can I access the Internet for 30 minutes? As I said before, writing an e-mail or posting on a cafe will save time.]
“That’s enough. Be prepared.”
I got up from the bench and walked to the synthetic lab.
The second door inside the synthesis is open. then went in When I put the upgrade seat on the altar in the center of the room, a red light enveloped my whole body.
[Master, the promotion begins!]
When I opened my eyes, I was inside a certain house.
The scene in the room is familiar. have seen It was the shabby house I saw when I was promoted to 2 stars. It’s a clumsy structure built with wooden planks.
‘There was a woman holding a baby.’
The woman at that time is nowhere to be seen.
Just one corner of the room. Someone was crouching and trembling. I can only see the back Judging by his size, he’s a young boy. He stretched out his hand, but as expected, a transparent wall blocked it.
‘Is it this again?’
I clicked my tongue.
The dark-haired boy muttered.
“mom and dad…….”
bang!
I kicked the transparent wall hard.
‘I’m annoyed.’
I don’t know why it’s showing me this.
I left the boy alone and looked around. A door was visible in the right wall. I grabbed the doorknob and turned it, but it was locked.
‘Last time I opened this door and walked out… … .’
met the guy
It was a very dirty experience that I don’t want to go through twice. Anyway, unless that door opens, there is no exit here. I sat in the rocking chair in the corner of the room and waited with my arms crossed. The boy cried and called his parents, but I never paid attention.
when about 10 minutes have passed.
The darkness outside the window enveloped the entire room, and a message announcing the completion of the upgrade came to mind.
[Bara night!]
[Congratulations, Master!]
[The hero’s forgotten memories awaken.]
[‘Han (★★★)’, promotion complete! 3 stars.]
[The illustration is updated.]
[The limit of level and skill increases.]
[Hero’s job change has become possible.]
Darkness enveloped the body.
Returning to the synthesis center’s red magic circle, I left the synthesis center. Issel nodded on the bench.
I punched Isel on the forehead.
Isel’s eyes opened with a strange moan.
[Neat!]
“How long has it been since you entered?”
Issel rubbed her wet eyes and flapped her wings.
The body floated in the air.
“I’ll talk in detail in my room. There are quite a few eyes here.”
[Let’s go, get on board!]
Isel got on his shoulder.
I thought about brushing it off, but I gave up. On the way to the dorm, a summons message came to my mind.
[Master, 5 consecutive summons begin. I’m looking forward to what kind of hero will come out!]
[Tack, durruru.]
[Follow me!]
[Common!]
[Master ‘Amkena’… … .]
‘Is it replenishing the number of people?’
Dika, who was at the training center, walked out to the entrance of the summoning center.
Dika, who plays the role of an instructor, was also in charge of educating new recruits.
“Is it okay if I don’t go? I don’t mind tomorrow if I’m busy.”
[are you okay. Weeding starts tomorrow.]
“I see.”
Dika opens her mouth to the newcomers.
Different reactions came back. it’s tomorrow It seemed that they went through a minimum of training before going on the field. I passed through the lobby and entered the room. Issel came down from her shoulder and sat down on her desk.
“I’ll start right away. Bring up a window.”
[Before that, I have something to tell you.]
Issel licked his lips and smiled.
[The reason I surfed the web was not just to play, but also to help Loki! I searched for various information that might be helpful on my own.]
“so?”
[Do you want to hear it? do you want to hear There is a special report for Cap-chan!]
Isel’s eyes twinkled as he drew closer.
I reluctantly agreed. Issel raised his index finger.
[That first! Amkena joined Ragnaroki.]
“hmm?”
[Ragnaroki. You said it last time. National Rockies Association. Master of Master’s first-class fan cafe!]
I got goosebumps on my arm.
I put my hand on my forehead.
“So, amkena joined my fancafe?”
[of course! Fufu, that guy also realized the greatness of Loki. Can’t you give up without doing that? Book of Heaven… … oh, naughty bastard I’ll give you one too… … .]
I ignored Isel’s bright eyes.
‘It’s not useless at all.’
Amkena confirmed that she developed a crush on me.
This will be a significant plus factor in correcting the master’s play. I didn’t feel very good though. I opened my mouth.
“What’s the second?”
[Information about Niflheim.]
I caught my breath.
Issel raised his middle finger followed by his index finger. And he said
[Nippleheim resumed recruiting cadets.]
“pupil?”
[huh. Conditions are 3 stars or higher at level 20. Heroes belonging to Server 2 who are about to change jobs.]
“Take a closer look.”
When Isel spread his palm, a hologram window appeared.
[Pick me up!]
[Welcome to Dimension Cafe!]
dimension cafe.
It was an internal community accessible from the right side of Pick Me Up’s main screen. It is connected within the game itself, and the direction is slightly different from the official site.

You don’t even have to look below.
I waved my hand and Issel closed the window. Issel put his hand on his hip and sighed.
[Isn’t it funny? Loki is here Where are you impersonating!]
I put my hand on my chin.
There were quite a few things to think about.
[By the way, aren’t you surprised? I thought I would fall right away.]
“I’m sticking with you and browsing the internet, right? There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Still, there are no surprises.
The first is that the pick me up hero can intervene in the master’s system. I’m definitely here However, the author of the bulletin board is Loki. The sub-master’s authority, which I thought was a simple agent, seemed to be more powerful than I thought.
The second was the condition of educational services.
It fits perfectly with me now.
‘It’s like… … .’
Doesn’t it sound like you’re calling me?
