Chapter 317 – Volume 64 – I Don’t Want You to Be Happy (2)
‘Indeed, will it work this time?’
Although I hate myself a little for not being able to purely accept the stage unfolding before my eyes.
Anyway, it is a plan that has been analyzed and carried out in its own way.
I watched the idol’s performance somewhat mechanically, hoping to see the right results.
‘As expected, your skills are good and your character is clear.’
Leading the stage is a new idol group that has been gaining popularity recently.
I understand that one temple created it voluntarily, following the latest system we created.
Among the idols I am not related to, this is the biggest one.
That’s why no touch of my hand touches that stage.
So, if you think generally, something special can never happen.
That would be a normal situation.
‘Come.’
The stage heats up as much as possible.
I can feel the divine power spreading throughout.
And that divine power is slowly concentrated in one place.
It begins to take shape into something tangible.
The energy called divine power gathers purely and begins to emerge in a round shape.
The detailed form changes and becomes fixed depending on the image people have.
It is completed in the form of a special ring behind the heads of idols standing on stage.
‘It was successful.’
The word that came to the back of their heads was ‘Halo’.
It is famous in its own way, even in this world other than Earth.
It originated from the practice of drawing things like brilliance on the back of the heads of saints.
However, it is only passed down in the form of paintings.
Currently, it is one of the materials whose existence is unclear.
Because it was drawn so long ago, the only things that remain are those for which no relevant records can be properly found.
So most people acknowledge the existence of Halo.
The atmosphere was that no such great saints would appear because they had not been born.
…That was the case until now.
“Halo…”
By manipulating the production of idols that I can reach, including our saint.
This halo was created behind the head.
I started by borrowing the face of the saint, the greatest saint, whom no one would refute.
Many people had no idea that it was a lie.
Naturally, as a result of changing the new scriptures, many people thought that God was blessing us again.
After Saint Nyeo, Halo was introduced by Idolism, which was the first idol group.
The halo did not appear continuously, but slowly became darker only when the stage heated up and burned.
This may be because the production of slowly disappearing depending on the firepower of the stage is realistic.
There is a story going around that it is a sign of adulthood for a new era that the best idols have.
This situation itself was spreading to the extent that there was no one who was unaware of it.
And as a result, at some point, the halo started to appear without me even having to apply the effect.
In the case of the saint, the influence became so strong that the halo remained for a while even after the stage was over.
So I decided that this had a chance of success.
‘Certainly, using what already exists works better.’
Actually, for this experiment, I experimented with a lot of other factors.
The direction was such that new effects or healing effects occurred when faith was gathered.
I tried various things in my own way, but I only realized that people did not accept it so easily.
They just thought it was a special spiritual phenomenon that only happened on this stage.
I never thought about when the cartoon I drew accidentally spread into reality.
I tried to create a situation by deliberately deceiving you.
It was a trickier act than I thought.
In the case of Halo, it was a concept that was already known.
Applying the concept to reality was simpler than others.
Perhaps because I could clearly understand what it meant, I was able to complete it as I intended.
And today is the day of a huge concert by an idol that I was not involved in at all.
Based on Halo starting to appear on those idols as well.
It was confirmed that the concept of Halo was properly established among idols.
‘In other words, the situations I was thinking about. It seems that the exact same thing applies to divine power.’
We can’t announce that the sacred stage has been tampered with.
I can’t write something close to blasphemy in my thesis.
It’s a fact that only I know and will keep quiet, but…
“Okay, let’s cover this project here.”
I just started to check up to this point.
Process all relevant information as cleanly as possible.
I decided to do something that never happened.
However, what bothers me a little is that even though the difficulty level is difficult, the aftermath when successful is so enormous.
Unlike Halo or Uterus Tattoo, if a major accident occurs, such as a change in the swordsmanship system, a big change that is difficult to handle occurs.
This is a fact I already knew.
Now that I know that it’s actually possible, I can say that I get even more goosebumps.
It was really frustrating to have these concerns after listening to a good song.
‘It’s not a problem that I can just do without.’
It’s not just me who can do this, anyone can touch the rules of the world, which are like vulnerabilities.
Because we don’t know what will happen as a result.
Little by little, we were able to find information in history that suspected such a situation had actually occurred.
“After all, I have to submit a thesis.”
If these research results are discarded.
The ability of people to believe in and support something will decrease.
In some ways, it may be a little bleak, but it could also be a starting point for becoming a little safer in this world.
Before that, I also drew comics.
Until this fact is revealed, there will be some restrictions.
If I found out that the cartoon I drew could be a disaster, depending on how people take it.
That’s not human censorship.
It’s censorship caused by the world’s system.
I cannot avoid that censorship in my conscience.
So, as I first thought, I should properly publish this situation in a paper.
We need to do something to reduce this phenomenon to some extent.
Even the act of intentionally taking advantage of this should be properly designated as illegal.
“Are you here? You came sooner than expected?”
“Well, there’s nothing more to worry about.”
“Really? Now that I think about it, you didn’t say you were working on a new project.”
“Huh.”
Now that we have seen the results of experiments related to divine power.
By combining the contents, I had to find the direction of my next work.
The work that will serve as evidence in the thesis.
“It’s Leah.”
“Huh? Oh, do you want to have dinner? It’ll be ready soon.”
“I’ll leave that later. I just have something to ask.”
“Huh…?”
“Shall I make a game?”
“What?”
Originally, I was going to create a normal situation by drawing several new comics.
It was quite difficult to cause the phenomenon in this experiment.
I wanted to check and record such data more clearly.
‘If it’s a game, you can specify how many people will see a particular story.’
Conversely, you can also clearly see how many times a given story has been played.
It was also possible to change the situation at any time to make it easier to play.
Even if you only make one game, you can experiment with all the stories just by whether or not the story is revealed.
‘Well, there are things I wanted to do.’
To be honest, I also wanted to make a game.
I’ve made a lot of game books so far.
Actually, I felt like I missed the timing of the game.
And while experiencing this incident, I also came up with some stories of my own that would be good to write.
The story can be drawn as a comic, but it is optimized for release as a game.
Because I thought it would be a good idea to release it as a game.
‘It’s a material I originally treasured, but since it’s perfect, I’ll have to use it.’
It’s not even material from Siwoo’s time on Earth.
As it is a material created during the time when I lived solely as ‘Kali’.
To be honest, he meant a lot to me in many ways.
However, I am a cartoonist and not a game creator.
Because I don’t have the confidence to make it properly on my own.
I was asking Rosaria, who had recently achieved the best results.
“He’s shamelessly trying to steal our pie.”
“No. We’ll make it in a different genre. There won’t be much overlap.”
The game run by Rosaria is a collection-type game that focuses on characters and controls people.
What I’m worried about right now is that it was an RPG-type game played with the story as the main focus.
I would like to add a combat system to the game.
Various systems, including BM, were explained.
At least it’s a mild version of the early online games seen on Earth.
“…Customizing?”
“Yes, by making yourself a combination of certain pictures. Each person becomes a different protagonist.”
“It’s interesting. It’s definitely a different direction from our game.”
You can enjoy parts like the story and games for free.
I plan to sell clothes and other decoration parts for money.
This way, as many people as possible will be able to see the story.
“Hmm, if that’s the case, I’ll help you.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
“If you’re with Carly, it’s like play, not work.”
“…Thank you.”
Of course, the game doesn’t come out right away just because there are two of us.
It was just a matter of worrying about direction.
While we were having a fun conversation.
“Huh?”
Because I heard a pounding on the door.
We stopped talking and went outside to check.
I don’t even remember ordering anything for delivery, what’s going on?
“Uh…?”
Dreamy hair that sparkles in rainbow colors.
One arm is tied and shaking, drenched in sweat.
In front of the door I slowly opened, there was a girl out of breath, looking exhausted as if she had just run.
“Brother…”
“Rika?”
I saw my bad sister with her lips tightly pursed, looking like she was wondering whether to say something.
I just froze.
