You. I knew what that meant. Lucille, a regressor. I, the possessed person.

“You… Are you God?”

Then he burst into laughter.

“It depends on how you accept it. If you set the standard for god as a being who can do these things, then I would be a god. If you set the standard for god as something bigger, I would not be a god.”

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it was definitely a transcendent being.

“But let me say it so you can understand… okay. GM. In other words, you could say he is a game master.”

“Bullshit. This place is not a game.”

“Ho, why do you think that?”

“one. If this is a game, where is the line between game and non-game? Can’t the real world also be called a game?”

“That’s an interesting perspective. If there is one, are there also two?”

“Yes. If this was a game, there was no way you would be this obsessed with its history.”

Then he applauded.

Clap clap clap.

Soon the applause ended and he spoke with a smile on his face.

“As expected, the reasoning with intelligence of 99 is extraordinary.”

“Intellect 99?”

“You look absurd. Did you think that you would give points to others and not yourself? You don’t seem to know, but your stats look like this. Leadership 90, Politics 92, Intelligence 99, and… ”

“And?”

“Force 26.”

What a weakling you are…

“Heaven… So, there was some discussion in our neighborhood. What reward will I give you?”

“You agreed to let me go back, right?”

“That’s natural. You’ve achieved an achievement, but shouldn’t you be rewarded on top of it? What do you want? Shall I reincarnate you as the son of an oil magnate?”

“In that case, what happens to the original me?”

“Processed as death. A sudden heart attack.”

“… ”

I thought about the faces of my mother and father. They were ordinary people who gave me love. I loved those people. I didn’t want to give it up for my own career advancement.

“If that’s the case, it’s okay.”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“Yes. I decline.”

“There are many ways to make money without having to die? Would you like me to win the lottery? How about a lottery ticket that will keep you from starving for the rest of your life?”

“I’m kind of craving that.”

I nodded. That would certainly be an appropriate award.

“I’m glad. It’s not that I don’t have greed. However, I feel like the award is too small compared to what was accomplished.”

“That’s enough. A lottery ticket that allows you not to starve for the rest of your life is a great prize for a commoner like me.”

“Common people? Aren’t you the lord of 3.2 million songs?”

He laughed. I sighed and sighed.

“Not anymore.”

I will go back. Because this is not where I was meant to be. I was tired of pretending to be Franz Mayer, who was originally dead.

“Well, if you say so… ”

“… ”

“It’s been fun so far. I enjoyed it. Personally, I liked the scenario you created the best.”

And the moment I came to my senses!

“… !”

I was in the room.

Lost my mind in front of the computer.

‘dream… is it?’

okay. Maybe I’ve been playing too many games, Franz Mayer and all.

All of this is a dream. I had a fleeting dream and returned to the real world.

That’s what I thought.

“Ha, I’m addicted to games. Working 16 hours a day, I have 20 years worth of dreams. I need to cut it down to 8 hours a day. Before I become a bad person.”

With that thought in mind, I got up and started cleaning the room.

The moment I finished cleaning and doing laundry, I tried to turn on the Arcadia electricity again.

There was an update.

“What is it? What kind of update to a 10 year old game?”

I guess I wasn’t the only one who was surprised, as numerous people came to the bulletin board I run and started making comments.

[There is a sudden update. What is this? Is this your next project?]

[Wow, there is no notice of an update]

[What is the update? This is the 31st question @@@@@@@@@@]

[What is the update? This is the 32nd question @@@@@@@@@@]

I also received an update.

The update size is 2GB. Because it was an old game, it didn’t consume much space. The content of the update itself is probably not that big.

And the moment I turned on the game, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

[Hypothetical scenario. Unification of the world.]

A hypothetical scenario was created.

Arcadia Electric is a style where you choose one character to play. That means you can either play as Leona or Lucille.

And in the character selection window.

There was Franz Mayer.

[Your stats look like this. Leadership 90, politics 92, intelligence 99, and military power 26]

It was as he said.

A new character with leadership 90, military power 26, intelligence 99, and politics 92 had been added.

At that moment, I couldn’t help but shed tears.

“Dream… No… ”

All of this wasn’t a dream.

All the history I worked hard for was buried here.

“Lucille… ”

I checked the bulletin board for a moment.

[What is Franz Mayer? Haha. Was there a character like that? Developers are so annoying.]

[This is a character that existed originally. But it wasn’t that kind of character from the second year of middle school.]

[Worldview The second most resourceful strategist at a young age, a military strategist comparable to the duke and Leona, and a strategist comparable to Lucille. A lame handsome schemer? There is no such thing as crazy overload of settings haha]

[It seems certain that there is a middle school student in the development team.]

My face got hot in an instant, so I immediately turned off the internet and started reading the hypothetical scenario.

After Franz Mayer’s sudden disappearance. Leona’s subordinates suddenly started a civil war.

There are three main forces involved in the civil war. The West and the Allies of Felix and Adelheit. The combined forces of Clemens and Walter in the East.

However, Felix talked to Clemens and brought him in, and Walter was isolated 3 to 1, ending the civil war in vain. The story was that Felix eventually became the loser of the world and became the new head of the Krusenstein family, ruling the world.

“This guy has succeeded… ”

I read the story while wiping away tears. Appointing Felix as my successor was not a mistake.

But there was something strange.

“Then what about Leona? Who is Lucille Meyer?”

The civil war must have broken out because Leona wasn’t there, so where is Leona? There’s no word that he’s dead or missing.

It just said, ‘It’s gone.’ The same was true for Lucille Meyer.

And the next moment.

[Ding dong.]

The bell rang.

“Who are you?”

“… ”

“If you press the bell, say who it is.”

“Hey… ”

I could tell with just that one short word.

I ran and opened the door.

And where the door was opened…

“Lucille… !”

There was Lucille Meyer.

In the hypothetical scenario, the Lucille Meyer who ‘suddenly disappeared’ was none other than modern-day.

“How on earth did we get here…? ?”

“Suddenly, an angel-like person came and said that Franz Mayer had taken too little of his money and had a lot of change left over, so I asked if he would keep the change, but I didn’t know what he meant… But just because you can follow Franz Mayer… ”

I don’t know what he’s saying because he’s rambling, but it seems like the game master brought him here.

“I was worried about the other world too, but my heart ached so much at the thought of not being able to see my brother… ”

“Lucille… ”

I hugged her. She was still so beautiful and smelled nice.

“Anyway, your brother’s natural body is stronger than I thought.”

“Huh?”

“I think it’s much healthier than Franz Mayer’s body.”

“That’s right… ”

“The impression is also manly. I like it better this way.”

My face couldn’t help but get hot at those words. Her honest sentiments made us feel awkward and we remained silent.

That moment.

There was someone clearing their throat.

“Hmm, hm.”

“Huh?”

“It’s nice to see the siblings together.”

“I… Ha?”

why?

Why here?

“That angel said he didn’t have any change left, but he was giving me a special bonus. What a bonus, this Leona von Krusenstein is a bonus. I wasn’t in a good mood, but I couldn’t help it because I thought I wouldn’t see Franz Mayer again, so I came.”

“… !”

“But, there is one thing I’m curious about.”

“Yes.”

“This is an important question.”

“Ask me anything.”

She blushed and asked.

“Is polygamy allowed in this country?”

—–

“Have you seen the newly moved bachelor?”

“Ah, that bachelor with two foreign girls in tow?”

“Draw. I’m dying of envy when you see two celebrity-like women and children.”

“You seem to have hired bodyguards and have a lot of money.”

“You won the lottery? 1st prize.”

“You won the lottery and have two foreign children? Even if you are very lucky, there is no such lucky person.”

“That’s right. Still, it feels good to see you always smiling.”

“If two such women follow me around, the country will laugh too.”

“Is that also true?”
