3. How to live as an archduke in a fantasy world – 06

Koreans!

Some people say that they live in the country of courtesy in the East, and others say that they are f*cking kimchi men.

And if you ask people around the world, ‘What kind of people are Koreans?’, Many people will give one answer.

‘The nation of games!’

Yes. Just as the Saiyans were a fighting people specialized in fighting, the fact that Koreans were a people specialized in games was a fact that was well shown in the murals and subakdo of Goguryeo tombs engraved in the middle of the 4th century.

Because they are not just specialized in the game, their attitude towards the game is so sincere that it is not uncommon to find people who squeeze juice like Gwan-woo, who shed tears after losing at the game of Go.

Unfortunately, unlike the game’s ability, games made in Korea, so-called K-games, were not well-received in the world.

Well, it’s only in places like Gukppong YouTube that ‘America is astonished! Japan can’t overcome envy and sinks! The majesty of K-games turned upside down by the whole world?”

Disadvantages of K-Games.

If I tried to give lectures on each one, I could have gathered all the game company employees in Pangyo and held a lecture. I wanted to point out the same problem.

Of all the games I’ve played without telling a lie, it’s even rarer that I haven’t seen a guy in the prologue that doesn’t have a story like “Elyos and Asmodian clashed in the beginning of the Imperial Year XX, and the Shinma War broke out-“.

Well, I can understand the position of the production company that they have to introduce the boring Elyos and Asmodians.

First of all, putting aside everything else, you have to introduce a race that is as cool as the Elyos to be able to sell items such as [Shining Elyos Wings + 10 Powers] To great taste.

And although it was a fairly well-made game, 「Erantia Saga」 Was also a game that followed the basic storyline of K-game, and accordingly, the creators ended up leaving the story of the Elyos and Demons. It will be a sad conclusion.

Apart from the behind-the-scenes story that cannot be heard without tears from the production crew, Elyos and Asmodians appear in 「Erantia Saga」, And they appear as NPCs with considerable importance.

For example, the Isabelle standing in front of me right now is also an NPC that plays a very important role in the future development of the main story.

‘One of the few Elyos who have fallen into the material world.’

It is a noble race that worships the gods, worships light, and rejects darkness, but at the same time, it is not a recluse in some kind of martial arts area, and it is unlucky to act dirty and expensive, revealing itself only before the world is destroyed if certain conditions are not met. You must become the true identity of the Elyos.

“… I’ll ask straight forward. What is the identity of Young master?”

As soon as I entered the hidden basement of the casino, a small room that no one could see, Isabelle began to bombard me with questions.

“No, how did you know that I am an Elyos before that? No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing that could be discovered….”

“Okay. Could it be that I was able to know that you were an Elyos because I was a demon?”

At the words I threw at her in a joking tone, Isabelle shook her head without hesitation.

“No. Young master is not a demon, and he is not related to them in any way. I don’t know anything else, but as an Elyos, I can clearly distinguish demonic energy, and I don’t feel any demonic energy from Young master.”

“Isn’t it too hasty to simply conclude that there is no magic? For example, wouldn’t it be very impossible to use magic to hide demonic energy deep inside the body?”

In fact, one of the demons appearing in the second half of the main story uses such an expedient to hide its own magical power, so it wasn’t like I made up words that weren’t very common.

“No, I’m sure. Young master is not a demon. In the future causality I looked at, Young master does not have any connection with demons.”

“…The law of causation?”

“For convenience, it is called Magi, but the entity of demons possessed by demons cannot be said to be a simple aura like magic in the air. It is a kind of curse that erodes the soul of the other person, reverses the law of cause and effect, and corrupts the other person as a result.”

“That’s why those who are destined to be eroded by demons in the not-too-distant future will have signs of that in advance. And Young master doesn’t have any relationship with demons. Even in the present , both in the past and in the future.”

“Whoa.”

It was interesting. This was the first setting that even I, a deceased figure in the “Erantia Saga”, Had heard.

I thought that Magi was simply a kind of magical power that woke up the Black Flame Dragon sleeping on the left arm, but did such a hidden setting actually exist?

“A person who cannot be captured by the causality of the future that I am reading, who cannot be identified with any of my abilities, who cannot grasp the image of me even though he has been in direct contact with me… It has never existed anywhere.”

“Considering that all of my abilities do not work, Young master must be a nobleman with a level that I, a mere servant of the heavenly gods, cannot dare to fathom. What the hell are you… What is that identity? What do you want from me?”

“Hmm.”

At Isabelle’s words, I crossed my arms. Actually, there was no particular reason, it was a reaction that came from the thought that if I crossed my arms, I would look a little in Isabelle’s eyes.

‘This seems to work better than I expected.’

It was expected that after Isabelle shook my hand, she would try to read my thoughts and images through physical contact.

‘Because he behaved like that in the storyline of 「Erantia Saga」.’

Of course, the situation I’m in right now doesn’t match 100% with the main character’s actions in 「Erantia Saga」.

Isabel in the original story was convinced that the main character was cheating in the casino using some kind of magic and tried to contact me, but now Isabelle is hiding some kind of power from me, far from cheating me. It was an atmosphere that recognized him as an absolute strongman.

Because, unlike the main character in her original story, Isabelle couldn’t read any information from me, even though she made physical contact with me.

‘I never thought 「The Future Guided by the Stars」 Would cause this kind of butterfly effect.’

I never imagined that [Future Guided by the Stars], A characteristic that absolutely defends against mental attacks from the outside, would even defend the Elyos’ unique skill, [Image Connection (S++)].

Thanks to various factors that I had not considered beforehand, it was an atmosphere where things were going in a direction that was somewhat different from the original plan.

But if you ask me if this current situation is harming me… Well

No matter how much I think about it, there are only elements that are a plus to me, far from being harmful.

‘That means I can recruit an unpaid slave who is loyal to me cheaply if I can flick my jaw well here.’

I can feel my head buzzing furiously at an unprecedented speed as I contemplate eating someone else’s back. My brain at times like this makes it clear that the 4060 has unenviable computing power.

And after a while, after I had finished all the calculations, I opened my mouth to Isabelle with an arrogant attitude quite different from before.

“… You’re pretty quick-witted. I really like it because it doesn’t seem like I have to say it twice.”

“Tell me anything. I will listen.”

“Your guess is correct. I am the one who receives the protection of the stars and is guided by the stars. And he is also a prophet who knows what will happen in the future.”

“… Are you saying that you are being guided by the stars? And the ability to foresee the future?”

“Yes.”

It wasn’t a lie. Because I actually had the “Future guided by the stars” Characteristic, and I knew better than anyone how the story would flow by clearing dozens of hundreds of games like this.

Didn’t I say that, even if I roughly estimate it, I can recall the title logo of 「Erantia Saga」 More clearly than my mother’s face?

The moment the word guided by the stars came out, Isabelle’s expression turned pale.

“Yeah, as expected… So it was. A star is a word that symbolizes an existence that overlooks humans from the top of the sky. And among them, being able to bestow blessings on someone with a high rank like Young master is probably because the existence of that star… “

“…..”

To be honest, I couldn’t understand half of what Isabelle was muttering to herself, but I didn’t make the mistake of stupidly asking what she meant.

The most important thing in cheating others is a mysterious feeling.

Isn’t it true that fraud is a law in which you can deceive others only when you believe that you yourself are the truth?

“…Then, it must mean that you came here to meet me today, and that I am facing Young master like this could all be guided by the stars. Certainly, even at this moment, there are people looking down on you from across the sky. The presence of the great is being felt.”

[「Future Guided by the Stars (???)」 Nullifies the effect of ■■■’s racial trait, 「Divine Suppression (SS)」!]

[“Future Guided by the Stars (???)” Nullifies the effect of ■■■’s attribute, “Radiant Echo (S)”!]

[“Future Guided by the Stars (???)” Nullifies the effect of ■■■’s skill, “Roar of Heaven (SSS++)”… ]

‘Yes, it’s not like that.’

Well. I’m not sure what Isabelle is thinking right now, but I think I can know for sure that that’s not the right answer.

“So please, I, a lowly servant of the Celestial God, dare to ask you, the apostle of the stars.”

“What do you mean?”

“Compared to Young master, the apostle of the stars, it is an insignificant ability, but I have one power bestowed by the heavenly gods.”

“I know. Was it the ability to grasp the essence of the other person’s soul as a color?”

“Well, how do you know that? You’ve never used this ability before?”

At my answer, Isabelle looks at me with a startled look.

How do you know? Because among the players of “Elancia Saga”, Isabelle’s ‘ability to grasp the essence of her opponent as color’ was used like an MBTI to criticize and ridicule each other, so how can you not know?

‘The last time I took this test, I think it came out black… ‘

For your information, as soon as the black color comes out, Isabelle calls the main character a disrespectful person and immediately shows off her boldness by breaking her head. It will be a heartwarming story that the game will be over with the main character becoming Dullahan.

“I think I made it clear. I am guided by the stars. And the one who sees the future. Sometime in the future, you revealed that I have such an ability.”

“Ah, ah! Indeed, that is what it was!”

Isabel looks at me with more emotion than before.

“If you say you want to test my essence, I won’t stop you. I’ve never treated you as a lie until now, so there’s no way my soul would have an ugly color like that.”

She was speaking in a solemn manner, but in fact, in her heart, she was a little, no, very scared.

‘No matter how hard it is, it won’t come out black, right? It would really hurt Gao if a really strange color came out like this.’

But I pretended to be calm and held out my hand to Isabelle without expressing my feelings. And Isabelle comes to hold my hand, trembling her body as if receiving a lottery winning ticket.

“Okay, then let’s get started.”

“Let it be.”

As soon as my words run out, Isabel’s hands begin to glow brightly with a holy glow.

It was so sacred that my clumsy phrases seemed like something I could catch at once, like a drunk driving meter.

‘Couldn’t this have been f*cked up?’

It’s not too late now, so at that moment, I was thinking about whether I should suggest it or not, saying, “Wouldn’t it be a draw with my hands off?”

[The future guided by the stars (???) Responds to ■■■’s unique skill, [Soul Search Ceremony]!]

[The future guided by the stars (???) Is looking down at you with interest.]

[The essence of the future (???) Guided by the stars begins to revolve fully within you!]

Hwaaah!

The next moment, light begins to leak from Isabelle’s hands that hold mine.

And through the leaking halo of light, Isabelle looks at me with a shocked expression.

“I-I can’t believe it. It’s light Light itself! I only grasped the essence of the soul, but I didn’t expect such a white light to burst out… !”

After she said that, Isabelle opened her own eyes and started looking at me with an expression as if she was receiving something sacred from her.

“Light, light! The essence of Young master is not simply the apostle of the stars, but the starlight itself!”

Yes. I was actually the light itself.
