Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

[Aaron Side Story Episode 42]

5. The light of the heart (4)

If you build more karma, you will be swallowed up by the shadows.

Aaron followed the advice of his teacher and stopped accumulating karma.

Instead, he constantly polished how to use karma.

The origin of karma is life and time.

The term ‘up’ that the system refers to is only a cross-section of power.

In other words, the key was the ability to turn dreams into reality.

“I can do anything.”

said the boy.

“The things I told you were only culling out effective usage.”

“efficient?”

“okay. Abilities that are weak but can be used for a long time and a lot.”

Ultimate physical and neurological enhancement.

Teleportation without any restrictions.

A secret technique that nullifies physical and magical interference.

that this is weak

“Anything?”

“If you can imagine it.”

“Like lighting a fire.”

Aaron thought of his fellow aristocratic mage.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.”

The boy immediately showed his palm.

Roaring!

The flames started burning fiercely.

That wasn’t the end of it.

The flames disappeared, and ice flowers bloomed instead.

The ice flowers scattered cold air around them.

This time, the wind started to blow over my palms.

Attributes change freely.

“It’s also a mental system. If you use it well, you can change the other person’s memory or perception.”

Changes the memory and perception of the opponent.

It was a terrifying ability.

“Well then. Hypnosis is also possible. You can manipulate other people’s memories and perceptions at will. It’s not a very pleasant experience. I only use it when absolutely necessary.”

“Magic…?”

“It could be seen as similar. Don’t force it, though. It’s a waste of energy.”

If used in battle, the techniques the boy taught were the most efficient.

It is optimized to consume less karma.

It was the same with the karma spears, including the moon shadow.

“What if you could not mind waste.”

“Hmm?”

“For example, if you accumulate karma for eternity and store enough anima that you won’t run out no matter how much you use it.”

Theoretically possible.

The reason Aaron stopped accumulating karma was because he faced the limits of his mind.

What if there are no limits?

“He will be the disaster of the entire universe.”

the boy asserted.

“It transcends the constraints of the game system and breaks through the boundaries of the universe, so I don’t know either. what will happen In the first place, he wouldn’t even be human at all. How do you know his intentions? Anyway… I’m telling you to be careful. I didn’t deal with those hazards for nothing.”

Catastrophe of all universes.

Aaron swallowed.

It’s that dangerous.

“Don’t worry too much, because usually I get tripped over and die before then.”

“yes.”

“I know it’s dangerous, so don’t overdo it.”

“yes.”

“You answer perfectly well.”

Aaron gave up his greed to build more karma.

I don’t want to take the risk of abandoning myself.

In addition, if you follow Master’s teachings well, you can use your power with little karma.

‘There is an older brother in Taone.’

Aaron believed in one Israt.

That man would surely overcome any crisis and save Taoneer.

Even if you don’t overdo it yourself.

Aaron’s strength training was to help his older brother by his side and to protect his future happiness.

I didn’t give up on Nina.

I just needed the strength to keep happiness.

to never go through something like that again.

‘What is possible for me is…’

To bring Master safely out of Luanan.

And it will gradually become stronger.

* * *

Cheek!

Pour the egg wash onto the buttered frying pan.

Eventually, I got used to cooking.

Today’s dinner menu is an omelet.

In the past, it was a dish that failed like eating rice, but the flow of time has made me used to anything.

Aaron looked out the window and out of the cabin.

The desolate landscape had changed before I knew it.

A garden has been created in the front yard of the hut and is covered with various flowers and grasses.

It was plowed dozens of times because of poor soil quality, but it was finally successful.

A small river flowed in the middle of the garden.

“….”

Flip the cooked egg.

Looking at the color, it seemed almost finished.

“Master, dinner is done! Come out!”

Aaron called a boy who should be somewhere in the cabin.

There was no answer.

‘Where are you?’

You should be at home by this time.

Aaron set the finished dishes on the table and headed to the hallway.

Down the hallway was the boy’s room.

smart.

Knocked on the door.

“Master?”

No answer.

“…”

He groaned.

The door was not locked.

Aaron opened the door and went into the boy’s room.

It’s not the first time.

I’ve been there a few times.

A dreary room lined with a bed and a small desk chair.

A sheet of paper lay on the desk.

Aaron’s gaze turned to the edge of the paper.

[Call-up order]

A call-up order?

[Siris Argentheim]

Underneath it is written the publisher.

After retracing his memory several times, Aaron remembered the owner of the name.

He was said to be the Sub Master of Niflheim.

But when he left the waiting room, he said he was missing…

[Everything was a lie.]

At least it was covered with an envelope.

I would have finished without reading it.

[Even if you climb the tower all the way, the destroyed world will not come back.]

[We were deceived.]

What does that mean?

[Moebius will collapse soon.]

[But only the Master must be saved.]

[I need your help.]

[Sorry. You will need a break.]

Even if you climb the tower, the world does not return.

we were fooled

Möbius is about to collapse.

Aaron had to repeat the sentence several times to understand the meaning.

‘Is everything a lie?’

who wrote this letter

Is it an evil prank?

How this paper ended up in the boy’s room is unknown.

Is it a special magical treatment?

“…”

Aaron stood blankly in the middle of the boy’s room.

Without even noticing the boy came in.

“What are you doing? in my room.”

“Ah Master. sorry. Dinner was ready, but he didn’t come out.”

“I went outside because I had something to see. So…”

The boy’s gaze turned to the desk.

An unidentified order written with the words ‘Convocation Order’.

“Did you see?”

“sorry. Intention is…”

“I guess so. Because the door was left open. Of course, the summons came at that timing. What a strange coincidence! Paha!”

The boy burst into laughter.

“What is that? Is it like a prank letter?”

“Ah, no matter how you look at it, I belong to Niflheim. You have to follow special orders whether you like it or not. One of them is that summoning order. Let’s see. everything lies. Even if you climb the tower, you will be able to do it. Möbius collapse? What is it?”

The boy scratched the back of his head.

“This is completely ruined.”

“…”

“Hey, how do you go as you imagined the worst? Kicking kicks kicking kicks.”

“The contents of that paper… are you saying it’s the truth?”

“Are you going to use the summons as a joke? Since things are getting serious, I’m calling the retired me too. Oh, my prime is long gone.”

“Then Taoni won’t come back?”

“Siris seems to think so.”

“Master, why are you so calm?”

“Because I didn’t believe it.”

The boy smiled self-deprecatingly.

“This kind of thing happens because I just believe without thinking back and forth. So I told Siris to be careful.”

“…”

“Did you believe it? That the Master will climb the tower all the way and save Taonier.”

“I…”

My head is dizzy.

it’s all fake

Wasn’t it meaningless to climb the tower, fight monsters, and risk your life?

Then for what?

what am i doing here?

“It seems like there was a stir and stir-fry outside while we were playing Tangja Tangja here.”

said the boy.

“Brother…”

“Master failed.”

“…”

“It doesn’t end even if you climb the tower. It means that I was wandering in a maze with no exit from the beginning. What do you mean by being a master?”

It didn’t feel right.

I was doing fine until yesterday.

“The reason I went out was to get a call from Yournet. I even came to the summons order, and from what I can see, it seems to be true.”

Aaron’s feet began to shake.

“It is true.”

“Mobius is about to collapse. The same goes for us Niflheim and you Taoni. It’s over.”

“Like this?”

“Originally, things in the world are sudden.”

“I… couldn’t do anything…”

Is it a dream?

Are you having a nightmare?

Is it some delusion?

‘I have to get out of here right now.’

in Taoni.

We must go back to Taone.

I need to meet my older brother.

I had to check the facts.

“Master, I…!”

“Arthur.”

Took.

The ink-colored spear touched Aaron’s chest.

“What can you go out and do now?”

“I learned karma! Anything will help!”

“Master failed too, so what about you?”

“Kuk!”

said the boy.

“Don’t get excited. Calm down your emotions.”

“…”

“I told you to do it moderately, but looking at the current situation, I don’t think I can afford that.”

Aaron understood his master’s words.

It was not the time to question how dangerous it was.

“If you use up, you and I can safely take off your body, but I don’t think you will.”

“Of course.”

“If I wait quietly, I will get caught up in the dimension collapse and die.”

The boy shook his head.

“Can you win? A shadow by your side.”

Aaron looked to the side.

The red shadow is still watching him.

He grew taller than before.

The red shadow laughed at Aaron’s misfortune with a mad smile.

“…I will win.”

It can’t stay like this.

I had to do something.

Happiness had to be taken away from me many times because I had no power.

never this time.

‘Even if I die this time.’

I won’t lose it

“Right. then don’t go The house is well guarded.”

“Are you going…?”

“okay. You must answer the call.”

The boy slung the spear over his shoulder.

“Until I come, do not give in to the shadows.”

“yes.”

“If you lose, I will kill you myself.”

“Please do so.”

Aaron said earnestly.

“Oh, it was a joke.”

“I am serious.”

“Oh, that’s no fun, really.”

The boy muttered helplessly.

After that, the figure dissipated.

So the master left Luanan.

It disappeared in response to the summoning order of a hero named Siris.

“…”

Aaron, who was left alone, looked at the summons on the desk.

Hwareuk.

A flame burned at the end of the paper and slowly disappeared.

‘Everything is a lie.’

The world Aaron knew is crumbling.

What you believed in becomes a bubble and disappears.

But this isn’t the first time I’ve felt this way.

tasted it several times.

When your parents were killed by bandits.

When Taonier perished without any warning.

At that time, Aaron did nothing.

He despaired of misfortune and cursed the world.

I couldn’t resist because I had no strength.

couldn’t keep

It’s different this time.

Aaron had power.

I could now keep myself.

Aaron walked out of the boy’s room.

Pass the dining table through the hallway.

I don’t mind a cold omelet.

Holding the silver spear hanging on the wall, I headed for the gymnasium.

‘It’s not despair.’

Totally different from back then.

It’s not a setback.

Okay.

Rather, Aaron may have waited for such a time.

Are you truly worthy of keeping yourself happy?

I was certain that one day the test would come.

‘There’s not much time left.’

That doesn’t matter here.

This is a world ruled by karma.

Aaron sighed quietly with his eyes closed.

Unspeakable voices spread out.

Whoops!

The shadow hanging behind Aaron’s back swayed.

The miracle of transforming fantasy into reality began to be reproduced on a dimensional basis.

okay.

It was possible.

After countless years, Aaron finally succeeded in making this dimension his ‘property’.

It has been possible since long ago.

That’s what the boy said.

If you put your mind to it, it’s possible.

‘Stop.’

Aaron commanded.

Then the scenery changed in an instant.

Twilight fell.

It is no longer the orange of twilight that fills the world.

A pure, pure silver light.

“…”

Aaron looked up.

A huge silver moon rose in the sky.

The light was so large that it covered half of the darkened sky.

Twilight turned to dawn.

Leaves glistening in the moonlight are suspended in the air.

Now the leaves did not sway at all.

‘succeded.’

A world with closed doors.

from now on here.

Time does not pass at all.
