Chapter 225 – Is This the Earth? (4)
I played the game like crazy. For everyone who is waiting.
Ellie has been watching next to me all this time, as if the game itself was fascinating.
“Are you saying that the characters over there are being controlled by people who live here like Jinu?”
“Isn’t that right? As online games seem to be, they are just like meeting other people in a virtual space and playing according to set rules.”
Ellie asked about the situation in which I was forming a party and going through a dungeon.
“It’s something fascinating to watch from the side as the character I’m connected to fights with another character. I should say it feels different. I’m seeing it for myself, but it’s also amazing that when that character gets stronger, I get stronger.”
“Perhaps this is how you all became stronger? Isn’t it also possible that Eiya, the creator god of your world, also received help from the creator god of the world I live in?”
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but in the Elion game, the monsters you have to catch and the world Ellie lived in, the enemy that invaded the world created by Gaia, are demons.
From my experience so far, these two are a perfect match beyond just looking similar.
Perhaps by dealing with demons in the game here, it is a form of sharing the power to deal with demons to other worlds?
Simply catching a demon in the game does not mean that the demon in the other world dies. If that were the case, the number of demons in other worlds would have died as many as the demons in the game that I and the users have captured countless times.
Otherwise, the world in the game and the world Ellie lives in must completely match.
In order to catch the demons that appear as raid bosses, users have been dealing with many demons using the game character’s skills as well as common skills that appear in the game, such as 〈 Time Stop 〉 or 〈 Dash 〉, rather than the unique skills of the game character.
If the demons caught in the game match those from other worlds, there is no way that people in that world would not know about the existence of these common skills. It would be said that he defeated Demon, but killed him in a way that never existed. The causal relationship would not have been created to be this strange.
Moreover, Ellie clearly said that in the world she lives in, the only people who have become as strong as game characters are those who are connected to the characters I raised. She said that sometimes, when she went into a dimension invaded by demons, she met people similar to them, but not from the world she lived in.
Do various worlds exist in each person’s account, as if it were a multi-universe? I feel like the scale of this is getting too big, but I also think it’s an area that I, as a human being, cannot understand since it is the domain of the gods.
If I catch Chaos Alcatraz in the current game and the Chaos Alcatraz over there dies, I will kill it here in the game no matter how much time it takes. I am willing to pay it out of ignorance regardless of how much it costs.
The sad reality is that this is not possible.
“But are those letters floating above the characters their names? I can’t tell what letters they are.”
“Now that I think about it, I can’t read Korean. Just like Ellie said, that thing up there is the character’s name.”
If you think about it, of course Ellie can’t read Korean. She had mistakenly thought she could read Korean as she was watching quietly from the side.
“Then what is that name written on? My character is probably the name you mentioned.”
“Oh, that’s… Uh, hmm?”
As Ellie said, of course, the paladin character connected to Ellie has Pingchaeng Chulong written on top of her head. That’s the character’s name.
In that case, it is true that there is a name above other characters. Yes, that’s right…
There are many people in the world. In particular, there are more than a billion people living here on Earth, and tens of millions of people living in Korea, where I live.
What does that mean? Since the ratio of idiots in the world is always maintained, as the number of people increases, the number of idiots also increases.
And now there were those idiots in front of me again.
One of the methods that people often use when naming characters is to name the characters they are raising by keeping a few of the same letters and giving them variations, as in writing the names of characters they are raising.
There is one person here who did that.
Looking at the character’s name, it seemed like the next 3 letters were Amor and the last 3 letters were different. These people are very normal people.
But if you look at the names of the other two characters…
First of all, one character’s occupation is an infighter who catches monsters with his fists, similar to a martial artist. As a priest, you crush your enemies with holy power in your fists.
So, should we say that a male character with a slightly rugged body is so-called chubby? The avatar of such a character is an idiot wearing only boxer briefs.
In addition, the head avatar is just a bald head, so it can be said to be a bit… Repulsive to look at.
The name of such a character is ‘Hair loss is strong’, and a character that looks like it will be very angry in certain Internet communities is being presented.
Looking at the other guy’s character, he wore a very normal avatar. Among the characters I’m raising, the same martial arts profession is worn, but the avatar it wears is one that makes it look like a beastman when equipped.
It looks like it has beast-like ears sprouting from the top of its head, has sharp claws on its hands and feet, and has a tail wagging on its butt. She is wearing clothes that expose her body appropriately.
This can be said to be very normal. Unless the character’s name is ‘Rich Furry Chung’.
Should I tell this truth? It doesn’t matter if you read it as is… But what happens after that is the problem. Words that Ellie might not know about the two characters over there include things like hair loss and furry, so I’m sure she’ll ask what they mean.
Of course, it’s not difficult to explain that word. It’s not a particularly strange word.
The problem is next.
If Ellie names a character using a word they don’t know, it’s natural to have questions about what the specific words in their name mean.
In fact, he even asked me before coming here. I somehow vaguely said that I would explain it later, but if I explain the names of these characters now, wouldn’t they naturally ask me about the name of the character they are connected to and the name they think is their new name?
After all, I was partying with guys like that. I entered the party without thinking, and the name wasn’t as crazy as I had come up with, so I didn’t really care, but I never thought I’d be asked this question.
I glance next to her and see that Ellie is still watching the game on her monitor with curiosity.
Since you asked a question, let me give you an answer.
“The character name over there is Amor Python, Hair Loss is Strong, and Rich Furry Chung.”
“I see. Hmm… People here in the world decide their own character names, right?”
I nodded in the affirmative to Ellie’s question.
“Maybe that’s why there are words I don’t know. It feels like a word unique to that world. Is that the divine name that Jinunim gave us?”
“Uh… Well, right?”
It’s difficult to say that it’s a word I created entirely, but it was created by combining existing letters.
“I think our new name that Jinu gave us clearly reflects Jinunim’s love for us. I feel that way for some reason.”
I couldn’t respond to Ellie’s words and played the game quietly. I felt like I was standing at a dead end cliff, unable to confirm or deny those words.
To be honest, it’s not like I didn’t think about changing my character’s name as soon as I launched the game upon entering this world.
But what would happen if I changed it? Everyone already knows about their divine names.
I thought it would be useless to say that if you change your name, your new name will now be different, since it is not like you have already forgotten your previous new name.
Now in my mind, I am thinking that this problem is just my karma from my wasted time as a child.
I promised myself that someday the day would come when I would have to explain it to everyone, and then I would kneel down and tell everyone.
When Ellie heard the name of the character I was hunting with as a party, she, as expected, asked about the word she didn’t know, and I explained to her step by step what it meant.
Still, it might be fortunate. It would have been even more embarrassing if I had been in the same party as people who were using crazy names like me.
Let’s think positively. Positively.
The name says ‘Umnijalgweseo?’ Isn’t it true that the same pad-like word is included?
Fortunately, Ellie didn’t ask for her name after that, and after some time, she succeeded in maximizing the character connected to Ellie.
