Chapter 215 – There Are No Eternal Secrets (1)
Anyway, through Gaia, I and my characters had the opportunity to find the possibility of defeating Chaos Alcatraz by returning to our respective worlds.
There is time pressure because time passes faster here than in the world I was in, but it is better than not having this opportunity.
【Then, Jinu, when do you want to leave? Since we don’t know how Chaos Alcatraz will turn out, I think you should leave quickly.】
Gaia seems to have become a little impatient at the fact that a way to solve her biggest problem has been opened. It’s not that you don’t understand, because I said that if you can just take down Chaos Alcatraz, most of the problems related to demons will be solved.
“Please wait a little while. I need to explain this to everyone. I will wake up and explain the current situation to everyone before you send it to me.”
In fact, even if I don’t explain the current situation to everyone and say that I will explain it later, everyone will probably follow what I say without much questioning. Each person goes back to their own world and comes back stronger, and I will make everyone stronger through the game. Everyone will be curious about what principles are used to become stronger in the process, but wouldn’t everyone be convinced if I told them that I can’t reveal it now and will explain it later?
But it is a fact that must be revealed to everyone at some point anyway. It wouldn’t be impossible to take it to the grave, but I don’t want to go that far. Rather, now may be an opportunity to reveal this secret to everyone.
【All right. Then, please call me again when it starts.】
“Do I have to call you while I’m asleep like now?”
Gaia shook her head.
【No, at that time, I will descend to where Jinunim is. The reason I had called Jinu here until now was because I was in a situation where demons might pour out if Numeron, the dimensional gate, was left unattended. However, thanks to the work of Jinu and the warriors, I have recovered a lot of my strength, and even if I am away for a while, I can temporarily prevent demons from coming out of Numeron, the dimensional gate.】
Still, is it worth all our hard work? Although I wonder if I should feel this as a reward.
“Okay. Then, let’s call it again then.”
After saying those last words, my surroundings became blurry and I opened my eyes again. I woke up from sleeping on the bed I had laid down to talk to Gaia.
Looking around, I saw that everyone was sitting in one place, some with their eyes closed, while others were talking to each other. I think they were probably waiting for me to wake up, so they were all gathered in one room and waiting for me. I checked to see if Ariana or other people from this world were there, but I couldn’t see anyone other than my characters, perhaps to make sure we were all in the same room.
“Jinui, are you awake!”
When Ellie saw me get up, she immediately shouted and everyone stood up and looked at me.
“Um… How long has it been since I fell asleep?”
“It hasn’t been that long. I think it’s been at least an hour.”
A lot of time had passed since I was talking to Gaia, and I wondered if that much time had passed since she fell asleep, but fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
“Are you here to talk to that god called Gaia? What is that bitch called god doing while we’re fighting…?”
“Really! It was really dangerous this time. If Jinu didn’t have the teleportation skill, we might have been killed by that guy.”
Rhenia immediately started complaining about Gaia and Yuria chimed in. Besides Rhenia and Yuria, everyone else seems to be dissatisfied with Gaia. It’s not that I don’t understand. As soon as I met Gaia, I asked her what she was doing.
I simply calmly explained that Gaia was just watching us battle Chaos Alcatraz.
When everyone heard me, they got angry and cursed at Gaia, but I stopped everyone. I don’t mean to shield Gaia, but that’s not important right now.
Something much more important than this needs to be explained to everyone.
“I have something to tell everyone from now on. Can you all focus?”
Everyone who heard me stopped what they were saying and turned their attention to me. Now, I need to explain it well.
“Gaia has certainly been acting frustrated, but we need her help right now. I’m sure we all felt this battle, but we can’t defeat Chaos Alcatraz in our current state. We all must have felt that.”
Everyone who heard me was in a gloomy mood, probably remembering this battle. It probably hasn’t gotten to this point very often. In particular, there may be people who feel ashamed of standing on the same battlefield as me and not being able to kill the enemy. Even though I don’t care.
“Lord, did you come to tell her what it would be like if she received help from Gaia?”
“That’s right. I also wanted to solve the problem with our own strength without Gaia’s help, but unfortunately I thought that was impossible. No matter how much I thought about it, I thought there was no solution. So I had no choice but to choose to get Gaia’s help.”
Yuria suddenly raised her hand after hearing what I said.
“Then how do you get help, Jinu?”
“I’m going to explain that to everyone.”
I explained my conversation with Gaia. First, everyone and I have to go back to our own world, and then we all have to come back stronger.
Up to that point, everyone understood what I said. Because we can’t defeat Chaos Alcatraz in our current state. Next is the problem.
“If we go back to the original world and Jinu-nim returns to the world where Jinu-nim was, will Jinu-nim make us stronger like before? If we return to the original world, we can regain our old strength!”
“I think that’s probably true. Well, it’s a little different than regaining your old strength.”
As for my old power, I actually didn’t have any special powers. Everyone’s current state is simply the result of investing time and money while playing the game.
“You guys need to go back to your original world and become even stronger than you are now. That’s because I will also go back to my world and support you. Aside from that, I plan to find out about Chaos Alcatraz. Maybe I can find information about him when I go back to my world. “I think there is.”
“This is my first time seeing a Demon. Is there any information about him in Jinu’s world?”
If a year has passed since I was summoned to this world, it will definitely remain.
“Oh, I’m sure it’s there. If you look for it, you’ll be able to find it easily.”
“As expected, it’s God’s world. It’s a world so omnipotent and omnipotent that beings like us can’t touch it… Ah… God, thank you for showing us mercy…”
Here I must convey to everyone the most important fact. Ugh… I’m a little scared because I don’t know how everyone will react.
Isn’t this an element that often appears in novels? It is common to see the story that the world one was living in was actually a game world that existed for the entertainment of higher-dimensional beings, and that one was merely a play pawn.
The relationship between me and my characters now is slightly different than before, but it can’t be said to be completely wrong. First of all, I can say that I manipulated everyone for my entertainment, but there was no bad intention, and everyone’s world is not completely the same as the world in the game.
If they were the same, there’s no way I wouldn’t know simple things like game system inventory, whispers, and recall. Looking at that alone, I think it would be more accurate to say that Elion and everyone’s world are connected to some extent rather than being the same.
So where should I begin to explain… I’m stuck from the beginning.
“I have something to tell everyone about that. It’s very important.”
When I say it’s important, everyone becomes quiet. He must be waiting for my next words.
“You may not believe it, but in fact, I am not as great a person as you think. Rather, I am just an ordinary person with no special powers. You may think that I am a god-like being because I gave you the powers I have now.”
When everyone hears me, they look like they don’t really know what I’m talking about. It’s not that I don’t understand.
“From now on, you will return to your original world and become stronger, but I am going to explain to you how you can become stronger. In fact, this is something I was going to explain to you someday.”
I took a deep breath, calmed my nervous mind, and continued speaking.
