#94
94. Niflheim (6)
I compared Yurnet and Eclat.
The two ranks in Niflheim are 2nd and 9th, respectively. Both of them were level 6.
So far, the difference isn’t huge. However, the difference in combat power between the two was beyond imagination. To put it more directly, even if all the members of the 12th floor, who are staying up to 100th in the ranking, attack, they cannot defeat the 5 people.
‘The difference between the bowl.’
I muttered.
“Same 6 stars, but does that mean they are different?”
“It’s similar. The Master was especially devoted to the five of us. Thanks to you, this was possible.”
Yurnet waved her hand.
I opened my eyes wide. A holographic graphic came into view.
[Like this, Master.]
‘system.’
It was a letter that I had seen hundreds of times, but the subject who used the system was different.
Yurnet folded her hands and the message disappeared.
“Did you know? Our heroes grow closer to the Master little by little as the Master pays more attention to them. They are directly affected by the interference.”
I was reminded of Isel’s explanation of coherent forces.
‘The source that twists the cause and effect of this world and corrects the laws.’
It is said that when the Master logs in and observes the waiting room or is active, it accumulates by itself.
Also, according to Issel’s explanation, the higher the number of floors reached, the higher the cumulative efficiency seems to be. It seems like you can get it with cash as well. In any case, these interfering forces summon heroes, organize missions, and create facilities.
“It means you are no ordinary heroes.”
“If I were to give it a rating, I’d give it 6.5 stars. More broadly, we’re in Mobius, but we’re also on Earth with one foot in it.”
A system message popped up.
[With Master’s care.]
“I didn’t know I was that great.”
[Of course. The higher dimension is a tremendous place for us.]
“Then how did I end up in a place like this?”
Yurnet closed her eyes.
The smile on his lips was gone.
“I did research on that too, but couldn’t find the right answer.”
Yurnet informed me of the situation after I disappeared.
The five people who learned of the disappearance through the link with me immediately began investigating the cause.
How did I fall and why did I fall? To this end, dozens of airships were secretly mobilized. But in the end, she couldn’t find a satisfactory answer, sighed Yurnet.
“sorry.”
“……is it.”
“There is but one thing I can tell you.”
Yurnet opened her eyes.
“The closer the hero gets to the Master, the closer the Master gets to the hero. There must be one of the conditions for Moebius to be able to handle the Master’s existence. There must be other reasons, of course.”
Nisled poured tea into a teacup.
I continued thinking.
The direct cause of my fall was Advent Dungeon with transcendental difficulty.
However, Yournet did not comment on this. He was most likely unaware. He wondered if he should let him know, but he stopped. Because there are so many puzzling parts. However, one question was solved.
“If your explanation so far is correct, 7 stars must be completely different from normal heroes.”
“yes.”
Yurnet nodded.
“They are people who have transcended the restraints of the system. You can see them as half-heroes and half-masters.”
Back in the day, when the boundaries of the server collapsed due to an event.
I have experience in facing 7 stars directly. The bastard’s level is 315. He was defeated somehow, but it was an absurd level indeed. Because the level limit in the system was 99.
I sorted out Yunet’s explanation.
Rank is the vessel of a hero. As the level goes up, the heroes can come into contact with the master and the system of the game. In addition, the five members of Mobius, including Yurnet, have already become such beings and can use Interference, the core energy of the game.
7 stars, which are higher than this, are anti-heroes and anti-masters.
this is… … .
‘I think he’s talking about me.’
I can see Amkena’s control panel.
Other heroes will be impossible no matter how high the research level is.
In addition, if you get help from Issel, you can control the operation window.
“As you may know, Master has not completely lost his authority.”
“I guess so.”
If I had become a pure hero, five people would not have recognized me.
“As far as I’m concerned, I think Masters can reach 7 stars even without the Book of Reversal, but…”
“Where are you talking? It’s been a while now.”
I laughed and drank the tea.
The taste is not felt. The agony deepened.
Advent Dungeon, the reason I fell here. And that bastard I met at the 1-star promotion. Lastly, the 7-star key item, Book of Reverse Heaven. I feel like something is connecting.
‘… … .’
I put down the teacup and said.
“Siris didn’t go out looking for me.”
“Yes. Right after the Master disappeared, I went out to find out the exact cause.”
“Is it the same reason that fairies are invisible?”
“If I tell you one thing, you know ten. I’m taking the role of that child.”
Yurnet replied.
Niflheim’s submasters and affiliated fairies are not here.
Unlike the other two members of the main party, it wasn’t even for dispatch or warfare.
It became clear.
“Shall we contact you? It won’t be completely impossible.”
“done.”
It’s a pity that we couldn’t meet, but there’s no need to forcefully bring him.
There will be opportunities later. I have compiled information from my conversation with Yurnet. The teacup was emptied several times. After emptying the third cup, I continued.
“to the next.”
“please.”
“How long can Niflheim last?”
Yurnet, who was listening, laughed.
“You’re worried about deleting your account.”
“Accounts may be deleted after six months of Earth time. That’s what the terms say.”
If you go back and your account disappears, it will be troublesome.
I had no intention of ending Pick Me Up until I had cleared the 100th floor of Niflheim. Although the purpose of play is beyond simple pleasure. Yunet said.
“Don’t worry. Niflheim has more interference than any other territory. It doesn’t mean that it will be deleted unconditionally after 6 months. With its interference power, it can last for 10 years.”
“Then I’m glad.”
I have enough leeway.
If it was 10 years, it would have been enough time to reconsider.
‘Have you asked almost everything you need to ask.’
The key question is over.
What happened after I disappeared. The reason five people were able to find me. independent time.
There are many other things I want to know, but it is overwhelming just to organize the current information. There was a risk of confusion if too many things were accepted at once.
“Have you solved your question?”
“To some extent.”
“Now may I say something?”
I laughed.
There seemed to be a lot to say. I nodded.
‘I can guess what he wants to say.’
Yurnet rose from her chair.
Nisled quickly removed the snacks and tea from the table. It seemed that he was trying to change his place.
So when I woke up, the place changed in an instant.
Chandeliers on high ceilings,
There is a red carpet on the floor.
It was the first place I saw it.
It must be the place that Yurnet had prepared for me.
The carpet stretched straight ahead.
I moved my gaze along the carpet. Huge pillars were visible on both sides, and the walls were carved. I checked the pieces.
‘This is true.’
only laughter comes out
The battle on the 80th floor, which was the most intense of Niflheim’s missions, is depicted.
I looked ahead.
A jet-black curtain that covered the front stood out.
I laughed and said
“Is there a throne beyond that curtain?”
“That’s right.”
Yurnet answered without hesitation.
“This place I, no, we prepared for the Master.”
“It’s a castle.”
I laughed bitterly.
I knew it would be like this.
Parala Rock.
A bookshelf fluttered near Yurnet.
The white bookshelves wrapped around Yurnet’s body and turned into clothes. It was Niflheim’s conquest with a golden pattern engraved on her left breast.
“I felt sad and happy after knowing that Master had come here. I was able to see him in person.”
Yurnet continued.
“According to my belief, Master has returned here. I think it is time for you to take your rightful place.”
Yurnet looked at the curtains in the middle of the hall.
The jet-black curtains turned gray. The shadow of the throne shone through the curtains.
“Master, please remain in Niflheim.”
Yurnet got down on one knee at me.
“The Master has become a hero, but he is not an ordinary being. With my assistant, he will be able to fulfill the role of a Master.”
[I will hand over all my authority.]
A system message popped up.
[You don’t have to worry about Taoni. If Niflheim supports us as an alliance, we can grow even without a Master.]
“…”
[We need a Master. please.]
Yurnet bowed her head.
At the same time, the system was updated.
[‘Yurnet (★★★★★★)’ transfers the Sub Master right of ‘Nippleheim’.]
[Do you want to accept?]
[Yes / No]
I put my hand on the message window.
Ripples spread to the area where the fingertips touched.
“I’m no longer a master.”
“You don’t have to worry. We will support you physically and mentally.”
I looked at the message in front of me.
If you click ‘Yes’, your affiliation is automatically changed to Niflheim. Also, now that there is no master, you can become the actual manager of Niflheim.
Rewards worth tens of thousands of Gems will be paid to Amkena.
And that’s not all. After applying for an alliance, you can add various support. Even without me, Taoneer will be able to run well.
‘is it.’
I laughed.
and.
[Yes / No (optional)]
The acceptance window has disappeared.
“……master.”
Yurnet looked up at me.
Eyes were shaking.
“Is it not enough for me alone? If so, the other four…”
“You don’t need to call it. It’ll be the same.”
“If it’s not enough.”
Yurnet fell down.
“If there is anything we lack!”
“It is me who is lacking.”
I shook my head.
“I’m still weak.”
“If you give us a little time, we will…!”
“I’m going back to Taoni.”
Yurnet’s body trembled.
“Why?”
“What do you think so hard about? It’s just because I don’t want to ride the bus.”
“yes?”
“Wake up first. It’s not good to see.”
Yurnet did not wake up.
“If you don’t wake up, don’t talk.”
Yurnet groaned and stood up.
Tears welled up at the corners of his eyes.
“It’s not because I don’t like you, it’s not because I don’t like this place.”
If you stay in Niflheim, you can start over in an environment hundreds of times superior to Taonier.
but,
“I’m not ready.”
first.
Niflheim is obviously mighty.
However, if I depend only on that, I will rot.
The goal of climbing the tower is only temporary.
I don’t believe 100% that I can return when I reach the 100th floor.
In the end, I have to go back on my own.
second.
I wasn’t prepared to take responsibility for them.
Accepting is easy.
Responsibility, however, was a different matter. It didn’t matter when they were masters, but now that they know their identities and are in the same situation, the meaning is greatly different.
Finally… … .
I laughed. This was a bit of a silly reason.
That’s why it’s hard to promise that you can’t stay.
“Need an explanation?”
Yurnet lowered her eyes.
“All right.”
“It’s enough to know.”
“But I didn’t give up.”
“hmm?”
Yurnet pursed her lips.
“Doesn’t he want to return to Earth?”
“There is that too.”
Anyway, I have no intention of staying here.
Mobius is not the hometown where I lived and grew up.
Although I have no family waiting, the place I was born was on Earth.
“If you can’t go back, what are you going to do?”
“…”
It was a complex matter.
There is no going back. After climbing the tower to the 100th floor. After jostling the cub. Even after searching all the dimensions, I can’t find a way. If so.
‘I can’t help it.’
After solving the Taoni problem,
Even if everything is over, if you can’t return to Earth.
then,
“Do as you wish.”
