137 – The Demon King Descends, Aftermath (2)

Not long after that, Eugene visited the headquarters of Moonlight Company, the production company of ‘Destiny Over.’

It was because the company contacted me saying they would like to talk about Eugene’s live performance that took place not long ago.

‘It has finally come.’

Eugene sighed as he looked at the headquarters of Moonlight Company, which was smaller than Ragnarc Studio, the production company of ‘The Thousand’, but boasted a level of quality on par with Powell Software, the production company of ‘Nightfall.’

This is already the third time.

He ended up visiting the production company of the game he was playing in some way.

When I visited Powell Software, it was for advertising production and DLC development, and when I visited Ragnarc Studio, it was for business related to program modification.

That’s why Powell Software and Ragnarc Studio treated him as a guest of honor.

However, I had no idea how Moonlight Company would react to Eugene.

Because, in Eugene’s opinion, the Moonlight Company would never call him on good business.

‘Well, I think this broadcast went a little too far.’

I don’t know everything else, and there was no way to explain why the devil’s incarnation was summoned into the game and the system was completely destroyed.

However, this meant that if the system window was left in that state, the game would not be able to run smoothly, so there was no choice but to seek help from the manufacturer.

‘Well, it will work out somehow.’

As Eugene sighs and enters the Moonlight Company building, an intelligent-looking woman who appears to be in her late 20s bows to him and bows.

“Welcome to Moonlight Company’s Korean branch. Mr. Soma. “My name is Soohyun Lee, and I am the development team leader for Moonlight Company’s Korean branch.”

“Oh, yes. Hello.”

When Eugene also bowed his head in greeting, she smiled softly at Eugene and opened her mouth.

“I heard the story from the general director. Soma is scheduled to visit the headquarters at this time today, so I would like to go and meet him instead. Originally, the general director was supposed to greet Soma in person, but he suddenly had an urgent schedule. “I ask for Soma’s understanding.”

The development leader team spoke to Eugene as if he was sorry, but in fact, Eugene was not particularly impressed because it did not matter who welcomed him.

“Okay, let’s go up to the conference room and talk. “I don’t think we can have a proper conversation here.”

She said this with a wry smile at the blatant looks that were pouring in on her from here and there.

And Eugene, like the monkeys at the zoo, was not one to enjoy being a spectacle, so she nodded her head obediently.

After moving to the conference room located on the top floor of the building, they began talking in earnest.

“First of all, I would like to say that our ‘Destiny Over’ production team is really enjoying Soma’s broadcast. In particular, we were so impressed that you entered the hidden route in a different way than we had imagined.”

The development team leader’s expression as he spoke like that showed an expression of awe toward Eugene that could not be hidden.

“You know what? Many people who play ‘Destiny Over’ know that beings called ‘angels’ appear between day 1 and day 2, but they never try to confront them. This is because angels are a kind of irregular being that only exists between day 1 and day 2.”

While saying that, the development team leader picked up his smartphone and searched for something on her, then showed it to Eugene.

It was none other than the Destiny Over strategy posted on the ‘Destiny Gallery’.

[Things to keep in mind when overplaying Destiny (Must-read for newcomers and newbies!!!!)]

Before going into battle, make sure you know the true name of your opponent’s familiar and attack them

2. If possible, use the tactic of assassinating the wizard controlling the familiar rather than fighting one-on-one with the opponent’s familiar. Because no matter how strong a familiar is, in the end, without a wizard, the familiar has no choice but to disappear.

3. It is not the strong who survive, but those who survive are strong. Keep in mind that if you are not confident of clearly beating your opponent, it is also useful to run away from your opponent as much as possible.

4. Between the early morning of the 1st day and the early morning of the 2nd day, strange beings called ‘angels’ appear. Never deal with them. Normal heroic spirits have specifications that make it impossible to fight against them, so if you fight them, they will die for sure, and they automatically disappear after the second day, so there is no need to fight them.

5. The most important thing in war is…

“Do you see item 4 in the strategy here? You probably didn’t know this since you played the game without looking up any strategy articles, but the players were treating the ‘angels’ as something that should never be touched. Because, as written here, you can never defeat angels with normal heroic spirit power, and above all, angels disappear after two days.”

“… So, the reason why I was able to enter the hidden route was none other than… “

“Yes. This was because rather than running away from the angel’s sudden attack, he chose to fight against it. And not just surviving the angel’s attack, but rather persuading him and temporarily accepting him as a subordinate, satisfying all the triggers for entering the hidden route.”

While listening to the development team leaders’ explanation, Eugene sighed in relief.

It’s already a situation where I’m getting stabbed a lot, and in a situation like this, I definitely didn’t want to be told that I entered a hidden route using a buggy technique like in ‘Nightfall’.

“However, Soma-sama is someone who far exceeded our expectations in many ways. In fact, our production team designed it so that ‘Aleister Crowley’ could never be caught alone. I never would have thought that I could defeat a being that could only be defeated by the cooperation of at least three, or even seven, Heroic Spirits… “

The eyes of the development team leader who said those words were shining coldly, as if he were measuring Eugene.

“It is something that would normally be impossible, but if you are a skilled user of the will like Soma, it would not be completely impossible. Of course, there are some elements that cannot be explained by that alone… “

And seeing the development team leader like that, Eugene instinctively realized.

The main point she wants to make is that perhaps now is the real start.

“Anyway, Master Soma succeeded in defeating Aleester Crowley. This means that you have completely entered the hidden route of the game ‘Destiny Over’, which no one has been able to enter until now. However, except for one difficulty that we did not expect.”

“… What are your difficulties?”

“I am talking about a female mage and a strange creature that was suddenly summoned during the battle between Soma and Aleister Crowley. Soma.”

The development leader team said this while looking closely at Eugene’s face, as if he was watching Eugene’s reaction.

“The female wizard and the monster summoned by Aleister are entities that our production team knows nothing about. But when I thought about it again, we didn’t know about that monster, but the female wizard was someone we knew.”

“… Yes?”

And hearing those words, Eugene made a puzzled expression.

What does this mean?

Moonlight Company knows about Adelheit? How on earth?

But the next moment, Eugene realized that all of this was his own gain and karma.

“In the past, we at Moonlight Company signed a contract to make a sword that Soma wanted in return for appearing in an advertisement. And Master Soma said that he would like the sword to have the ability to change into a human form, and he even drew a humanized version of it himself and sent it to us.”

While saying that, the development team leader displayed the picture of Adelheit that Eugene had sent, saying it was a humanized version of the key sword, on the smartphone screen.

“The humanized version of the sword that Master Soma drew and sent to us and the face of the female wizard summoned by Aleister this time look very similar. “I don’t think we can really think of this as a mere coincidence.”

“…”

When Eugene couldn’t answer and just kept her mouth shut, she tapped her finger on the desk and opened her mouth.

“Actually, not long ago, an emergency meeting was held at headquarters because of Soma’s broadcast. But at that meeting, a streamer named Cyme made a very interesting claim.”

“… Saime?”

Eugene thought for a moment about who Saime was, but then he remembered that he was a streamer who had broadcast analysis related to him several times.

“And at that meeting, Saime guessed this. Could it be that this whole situation is because Soma’s intentions are so powerful that he summons someone who exists in reality? “I say so.”

“…”

“Aleister’s ‘Schrödinger’s Cat’ reads the player’s brain waves and embodies something that exists in the person’s subconscious. In addition, if we combine the two elements, the picture of the woman that Soma drew for us, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn from it.”

Listening to her words, Eugene realized that everything had finally been revealed.

Well, if you think about it, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was hidden for a really long time.

Because Eugene didn’t just say out loud from the beginning that she was a warrior, she didn’t bother to hide that fact.

However, since she was exposed like this, Eugene felt like she was relieved and quietly opened her mouth to her.

“… Phew, yes. Now that things are like this, I have no choice but to reveal the whole truth. As you may have guessed, I am a returnee from another world-“

“Perhaps that woman is Soma-sama’s lover who passed away a long time ago, right? And isn’t Soma planning some kind of plan to resurrect her lover in a virtual reality world?”

“… Yes?”

What’s wrong with a dead lover?

Could it be that I’m trying to resurrect Adelheit to this world? What does that mean?

As Eugene was feeling something absurd, her development team leader looked at Eugene’s expression and nodded his head.

“A returnee from another world… ? You’re telling the same joke as Saime. I’m sorry, but there’s no use trying to joke around now, Soma. Because we realized the whole truth.”

“…”

It seemed like there was definitely a lack of mutual trust between Moonlight Company and Eugene.
