58. Arcana Continent
58. Arcana Continent
58. Arcana Continent
The world was in chaos due to the huge letters floating in the sky.
From people saying it was an American conspiracy to doomsayers claiming the end of the world was near, there were all sorts of reactions, but those who had played Arcana Online knew.
This news spread quickly due to the tens of billions of Arcana Online users worldwide, and it was reported on the news all day.
And I decided to live with Rea unni at her house for a while.
She must be worried about leaving me alone.
"If there's anything uncomfortable, tell me right away. Unni will solve it for you."
"I'm comfortable now. And I've been coming and going every day for exercise, so what could be uncomfortable?"
I reassured Rea unni and checked the numbers floating in the sky.
There's still a long way to go.
Whatever those numbers mean, I don't care as long as I can meet Yong-yong again.
While I spent time looking up at the sky every day, Rea unni was contacting other guild members to prepare for any possible situation.
Today, we're on our way to meet with guild members for a meeting, riding in Rea unni's car.
"It's your first time seeing guild members in reality, right?"
"Yes. I always saw them at the guild headquarters."
"They're all nice, so there won't be any big problems."
When we entered the restaurant where we were supposed to meet, we followed the staff member who guided us to a room. Several people were gathered there.
They're faces I always saw in the game, but they feel unfamiliar.
Above all, it's so strange that Sasha unni doesn't have ears on her head.
"Kyaa! Our Yuna is cute in reality too? No, she seems even cuter!?"
Sasha unni hugged me joyfully.
"Sasha unni feels unfamiliar without ears and tail."
"What!? Say that again!"
"It hurts!!!"
She was stretching my cheeks with an evil smile, and if Rea unni hadn't saved me, my cheeks would have become plump.
Sitting down and holding my stinging cheeks, Rea unni started talking.
"We don't know what the letters floating in the sky mean, but one thing is certain. It's related to Arcana Online."
"Then, like in novels, it might appear in reality?"
"There's a possibility."
Rea unni talked about the anomaly that occurred in Arcana Online.
"You made many monsters existing on the continent into summons, right? Then at some point, beings called otherworld monsters started attacking the Arcana continent."
With those words, she used the beam projector she brought.
And numerous videos played on the screen.
"Among them, I heard from a friend working in the celestial realm. They said that angels above the archangel level gather every day to talk about the otherworld."
It was known that they used every means possible to stop the invading beings from the otherworld, but the frequency of attacks on cities increased, and the damage occurred even in the celestial and demon realms.
"And with the sudden announcement of service termination and the letters floating in the sky, I thought that they might be able to intervene in the real world."
"Come on, leader. Is that possible? It's not a novel."
"If you're curious, look at the sky."
"It's possible."
Sasha unni scratched her head.
She held my hand tightly, telling me to stay still, and she was happy.
"Now, the question here is how Arcana Online will intervene in reality."
There are two most likely possibilities.
The first is that the Arcana continent appears in the real world, and the second is that we move to the Arcana continent.
If the first happens, since 70% of the Earth's surface is ocean, the continent might appear on the sea, and in the case of the second...
"We'd move to the Arcana continent like logging into Arcana Online. You know, like possession in novels?"
Then Sasha unni raised her hand and asked a question.
"Then is the first one better, or the second one?"
"Hmm, I don't know either."
If monsters appear in reality, there will be chaos, and if we move to the Arcana continent, there will be problems with missing persons.
In short, she's saying both are serious problems.
Honestly, it doesn't matter to me.
It's not the world I originally lived in. I just need to see our Yong-yong again.
In the car returning with Rea unni after finishing the meal.
She keeps glancing at me, but why?
"Do you have something to say?"
"No!?"
She was flustered and focused on driving, but after a while, she glanced at me again.
Why?
Is my expression bad?
After arriving home, I said goodbye to Rea unni and went to my room.
I could see the sky through the window and the floating letters.
[Main scenario quest conditions have been met.]
[CHAPTER 1: ■■■■ ■■■ ■■.]
[Time remaining: 419 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
"Not much time left now. Just wait a little longer."

The time has finally come.
[Time remaining: 00 hours 00 minutes 59 seconds]
Only 1 minute remains.
Can I finally meet our Yong-yong?
[Time remaining: 00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds]
[Integration of Arcana continent and Earth No.562 will begin.]
Integration...? No, more than that, what's that number in front of Earth?
It's not just Earth, but No.562.
Then does that mean it's the 562nd Earth...?
After the alert window saying the integration was complete, nothing unusual happened, and I don't understand what's going on.
"W-what... Why is nothing happening!?"
I grabbed Rea unni beside me and spoke, and she turned on the TV urgently with a flustered face, saying that can't be.
[Breaking news! An anomaly has occurred in the Pacific Ocean!]
Checking the news, satellite images showed a continent appearing in the Pacific Ocean.
That continent had a shape I'd seen somewhere before.
"Has the Arcana continent appeared!?"
"I-it seems so!"
The first hypothesis was correct.
But the problem is that we can't go to the Arcana continent right away.
The government is controlling the citizens and saying they're dispatching soldiers from each country for investigation.
The broadcast was filming helicopters approaching the Arcana continent when an anomaly occurred.
A huge barrier was spread around the Arcana continent. The broadcast screen changed quickly after showing helicopters being destroyed by colliding with the barrier.
As I was blankly watching TV, another breaking news appeared on the broadcast, and letters were displayed in the sky.
[Main scenario quest conditions have been met.]
[CHAPTER 2: ■■■■ ■■■ ■■.]
[Time remaining: 239 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
Now that the Arcana continent has appeared, next is the celestial or demon realm.
If not that, then it's the turn of the afterlife realm to appear.
More than that, I want to see Yong-yong soon.
I can see the Arcana continent through the screen, so why can't I go meet him?
Why...
At that moment, a golden alert window appeared.
[Synchronization will begin.]
With those words, blue particles started to envelop me.
The same phenomenon occurred to Rea unni beside me.
"W-what is this..."
While we were flustered, an alert sounded.
[Synchronization successful.]
With those words, an anomaly occurred.
Something surging from deep within my body.
It's exactly the feeling I had in Arcana Online.
Like when using magic.
And somehow, I felt like I could do it now.
"Yong-yong. Help me."
With those words, blue particles started to gather, and our Yong-yong revealed itself.
"Kyuung!"
"Is it really you, Yong-yong...?"
"Kyuuung!"
It's angry, asking if I've forgotten its face after not seeing it for a month, but tears are falling from my eyes.
Our Yong-yong missed me too.
I knew but... I knew but once again...
"Yong-yong. You'll be by my side for the rest of my life, right? Right? You won't leave without saying anything?"
"Kyuuung!"
Our Yong-yong, licking my tears and saying it will be with me for life.
Ah, our Yong-yong.
As I was hugging it for a while, our Yong-yong said.
"Kyuung."
It wants food.
"W-wait a moment, okay?"
I shouted "Inventory!" but nothing appeared.
Have all the items in my inventory disappeared?
As I was despairing, I heard a voice.
"Kyuung."
"Hm? You're saying to imagine the item in my mind and put my hand into the air?"
