Chapter 4 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Demon
Not only that, there were also users who experimented to see if the true ending route could only be accessed at the end of the first semester of the first year.
As a result, even if the true ending trigger and force numerical system are not unlocked, it is possible to enter the true ending route if you play the normal route by steadily cutting down the devil’s army and the third force.
However, since there is no force numerical system, it is more difficult to clear the true ending route in that the specific scale is not known, but it is possible to rush in.
The problem was after the first semester of freshman year. Afterwards, as a result of conducting an experiment to enter the ending route where the power figures of the Demon King’s army and the third force were reduced through gritted teeth…
‘It was impossible…’ …’
The end of the first semester of the first year was a fairly important point in game play. Half of the first year of Part 1 had passed, and at the same time, the heroine’s route had been decided.
‘Of course, the heroine route is not completely fixed.’
There may be changes in the heroine’s route depending on the choice made, or it may fall into the direction of a sub-heroine, but it is clear that the route of the heroine one is aiming for becomes concrete at least in the first semester of the first year.
And from this point on, the number of events with heroines also begins to rapidly increase… This was the problem.
‘If you don’t enter the true ending route, no matter how rampant the main character and his party are, the Demon King’s army and the third forces will take care of them.’
The Demon King’s Army and the Third Power, who have already judged the danger level of the main character and his party at the beginning of the first semester, are constantly throwing out checks by saying that if they get caught, it’s okay, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t get caught.
They have the mentality that it is okay if they die after being hit by a checkpoint, but it doesn’t matter because they don’t suffer any loss even if they don’t die.
Even if they grit their teeth and kill the demon king’s army and the third force that have infiltrated the academy since the second semester, they will just withdraw from the academy and not try to confront them head on.
However, as the main story progresses, when external activities are carried out, a fairly large-scale operation is carried out, but even if this operation is thoroughly destroyed, the risk level of the main character and his party does not increase dramatically.
Judging by the fact that the main characters have grown to some extent over the course of one semester, they are genius-level talents! Because I don’t freak out or say that.
As I said there, there wasn’t enough time to focus on the RPG part because events with heroines increased rapidly in the game starting from the second semester of the first year.
In the true ending route, you can choose to give up events with the heroine and focus on training, but in the normal route, that is not possible.
Therefore, the characters cannot grow beyond the standard, and it was correct to assume that if you start the normal route at the beginning of the second semester of the first year, you can no longer enter the true ending route.
‘But now, this world I am possessing is real.’
… In other words, unlike games, there is no need to be dragged through choices. No matter how many choices Orbital World presents, there were bound to be limitations to the choices in the end.
Train when there are options to spend time with Heroine 1, spend time with Heroine 2, and spend time with Heroine 3! It’s as if you can’t choose that option.
But the reality was different. Practicing something that doesn’t exist! A story about being able to choose an option.
In addition, unlike the game background where you could only operate within the academy and the imperial capital and its vicinity, now that it has become a reality, you can move to other locations and operate at any time. In other words…
‘In the game, you only know the location and can go directly to the devil’s army or a third force that could not be visited due to system restrictions and defeat them.’
If that happens, no matter how tightly the Demon King’s Army and the third force hide, we will be able to reduce their power figures beyond the standard by directly visiting them and destroying them… !
“Yes, it is still too early to despair.”
Who are you? He was the one who tried that damn difficult true ending route over and over again for several months and eventually broke through and broke the devil’s pot!
So even if the situation is the same as now, it is too early to give up! Although it was close to impossible, it was still possible to say that it was impossible!
‘Okay, if you come to your senses, let’s get moving. ‘I was able to gather my thoughts thanks to standing here blankly for nearly 30 minutes.’
So now was the time to move. I was dazed by the sudden environment of the Orbital World, but if I stayed still like this, I would have to starve starting from dinner.
‘What’s urgent right now is solving food, clothing, and shelter…? …’
Really, if you’re going to be possessed, you don’t want to do it at least until the start of the game, so it would be nice if you did it before you get kicked out.
Just a moment ago, he was worried about the end of the world, but now he has to worry about dinner tonight…
However, his current self, Stral, who will use his real name Jeol Yu-jin from now on, has been expelled from the Grand Duchy and the Academy and does not have a single penny of money.
Until yesterday, he would have indulged in all kinds of luxuries like a noble, but from now on, all he could do was sigh as he had to film survival in the middle of the capital.
In particular, it was even more unfair that he was in a situation where he had the body of a nobleman and could not even eat a meal like a nobleman.
‘… No, now that I think about it, shouldn’t we be worrying about survival first before food, clothing, and shelter?’
Eugene, who was lamenting her situation and trying to think of a way to provide for her food, clothing, and shelter, couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down her spine at the sudden question that came to her mind.
‘This guy named Stral Zenon did all kinds of mischief at the academy, right?’
In short, this is a story about a person who has a lot of resentment against enemies, particularly high-ranking nobles.
In addition, as I said, the worldview of this Orbital World is a worldview in which men and women are reversed.
In other words, even though it was a civilization that was close to modern times due to the development of magic, it was an era where the ratio of men to women was overturned and it was close to a time when women were superior to men.
Of course, a man must bow down to a woman! Even if it is not a world called ‘slender’, it is natural for men to occupy the modifier ‘slender’ that used to belong to women.
Even in this worldview, the main culprit of rape of the opposite sex was not a man but a woman. In other words…
‘If things continue like this, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were captured by a nobleman with a grudge and sold into slavery before he was given food, clothing, or shelter, right?!’
Right now, Stral was caught red-handed and imprisoned for colluding with the Demon King’s army.
Thanks to this, he was quickly expelled from the Grand Duchy and the Academy in less than a day after being possessed.
However, as he was expelled quickly, the news that Stral was exiled and demoted to a commoner has not yet spread widely among the nobles.
In other words, he may be safe right now, but if time passes and the fact that he has become a commoner spreads through the nobles’ network…
“… “Let’s leave the capital first.”
… What happened next was a video you didn’t have to watch, so Eugene, who was trying to find a way to solve food, clothing, and shelter in the capital, immediately changed his plan.
If he stayed in the capital like this, it wouldn’t be surprising if one of the nobles who heard the news about Eugene kidnapped him and made him a slave!
For that reason, Eugene decided to escape from the capital and at least maintain his status as a commoner before the news spread among the nobles.
‘I remember the map structure of the capital to some extent. If you go this way, you’ll be able to get out of the city without a problem!’
Once you’ve reached a conclusion, all that’s left is action. Eugene, who had originally planned to solve miscellaneous requests at an adventurer’s guild and then prepare meals and make plans for the future, is said to have moved to get out of the capital without delay.
+++
‘First of all, from now on, I am not Stral, but Eugene and Jeol Yujin. Let’s start with the setting that the personality itself has changed.’
Munch, munch… !
Eugene realizes that he is in more danger if he stays in the capital, so he leaves the capital without delay.
As a result of wandering through the forest near the capital for about three hours after leaving the capital, Eugene was making his living by hunting a rabbit, skillfully dismembering it, making a fire and roasting it.
‘The personality that was misbehaving before was a distorted personality as a result of being brainwashed by the dark magician of the Demon King’s army, and the personality that exists now is a personality that was restored when that distorted personality disappeared. Hmm, it’s probable.’
After skillfully hunting a rabbit, cooking it over a fire and eating it as a meal, Eugene was immediately making plans for the future.
‘If you want to take the true ending route and prevent the destruction of the world, you must eventually return to the Academy, no matter what. If you can, you should build a friendship with the main character and his companions.’
One of the reasons was that there was no place better than the Academy to block the attacks of the Demon King’s army and third forces, but in addition, various incidents occurred centered around the Academy, and various factors called hidden pieces in the game were concentrated there. That was one of the reasons.
In other words, no matter how much they try to undermine the power figures of the Demon King’s Army and third forces from outside every chance they get, in the end, the base must be the Academy.
Therefore, Eugene is planning to enter the academy in the first semester of the second year after the winter break of the second semester, with a new identity, Jeol Yujin, not Stral Zenon.
‘Originally, Stral Zenon entered the administration department. Therefore, no matter how much you try to enroll with a new identity, it is impossible to enroll in the administrative department since you have been expelled.’
But to put it another way, it was possible to enroll in a department other than the Department of Public Administration. Even if you don’t change your identity.
Nevertheless, trying to change one’s identity, or more precisely one’s name, implies that Jeol Yu-jin will completely break away from the karma that this body has accumulated under the name of Stral Zenon.
Of course, if this were Earth, no matter how much I tried to reform myself, I would never be able to completely free myself from the mistakes I committed in the past.
However, this is an orbital world overflowing with supernatural abilities such as magic and swords. … No, when he thought about it, the Earth he lived on was also overflowing with people with special abilities.
That’s why I came up with an excuse to completely separate my past self from my present self, using the familiar excuse of brainwashing through supernatural abilities.
‘No, it’s not an excuse, is it? In fact, I am a completely different person from Stral Zenon.’
I don’t know if this was the spirit of Eugene possessing Stral Zenon, or if Stral Zenon suddenly recalled memories of her past life, but Eugene was able to say for sure.
Whether it’s the former or the latter, Stral Zenon and himself are completely different personalities.
And that’s why he truly thinks it’s very unfair for him to carry on the past karma of the scum called Stral Zenon.
Because in reality, it was a completely different personality. Therefore, Eugene was accused of colluding with the Demon King’s army, and under the pretext of that, he planned to separate the personalities of Stral Zenon and Eugene, wash the past, and approach the main character.
‘Because it’s truly a different personality, even if you check the truth with magic or other supernatural abilities, you can pass without any problems.’
This is the tactic of mixing 99% truth with 1% lies.
If this happens, magic or power will prove that Stral Zenon and Eugene are completely different personalities, so it will be difficult to officially blame Eugene, who occupies his body, for Straal Zenon’s sins.
In other words, even if he were to re-enter the academy, it would be difficult to touch Eugene with his past grudges!
‘The main characters are basically good guys, so even if they feel rejected, they won’t seriously question it.’
And for Eugene, that was enough. If you’re aiming for a losing ending in the first place, dating events are a luxury.
You might say that’s nonsense in a game whose main genre is romance fantasy, but as mentioned before, the game called Orbital World may have a normal route, but the true ending route was a dark fantasy RPG game.
