Veronica died in the game. That’s what the script said.

But a few clicks told me that wasn’t the case.

Veronica was not there when he came back to life and entered phase 2, and ‘Kaylon’ in the game had no health and no power from the holy sword. However, the warrior who received the power from the goddess and the power from the holy sword was able to defeat the demon king after a bloody fight.

Ah, he sighed.

Here I realized that one who became a god in a world by his own will, in the form he desired, and with only his own mind, was greater than the Creator and could dare to take that place.

Veronica, who seemed like a normal girl who enjoyed playing games, became the god of a world. It seemed to show that a god does not necessarily have to be a creator.

It looked exciting. It seemed fun to be able to give myself strength in the game and observe it closely.

I guess it was because I first encountered that character that I felt attached to it.

Well, I guess that’s possible since I can’t take my eyes off it either.

“Kaillon, Kaillon. Look at this. He said he could keep giving me strength.”

“Veronica… I think I should stop?”

Veronica was clicking around with the feeling that she was going to try out different things since she was a god, but she was also worried that she might become too strong in the game.

“… … .”

Should I tell him? While I was thinking about it like that, I finally opened my mouth because I thought that he might be feeling sad that he disappeared even though he was in the game.

“Veronica.”

“… Huh?”

Veronica turned her head blankly and looked at me.

Unlike before, the game ended and I didn’t have to press any movement keys, so it didn’t matter if I looked away.

Golden eyes met mine.

“… That Veronica in the game isn’t dead.”

At those words, Veronica opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared at me for a long time.

“What are you talking about?”

“That, the deal that made me a god. Actually, I met a goddess before I came to this world… Well, this and that… Sigh… What should I explain.”

To be honest, I couldn’t say that you became a god with such a heavy heart, because it was only something that made me feel omnipotent for a moment in this story.

As I was scratching my head and pounding my chest, wondering what to do about this stuffy feeling, Veronica opened her eyes even wider.

“… So I’m not dead?”

“No, you already live here.”

“Oh, no, Veronica from that game.”

“That’s right. Rather than saying he died, he just became someone who gives strength.”

It was really strange. If I had really become the god of the world, it would have been easier to talk about it, but because I approached it as a game, I felt more like an operator.

Still, I too had the same hope that it would have a good ending one way or another.

But, maybe that ‘Kylon’ won’t be happy.

Because I lost ‘Veronica’.

I’m happy, he’s not.

It broke my heart that we were similar beings but ended up going different paths.

Meanwhile, Veronica was watching and humming as if the game itself was fun.

“… Still, I hope you are happy.”

“Really? That would be great. But you’re still watching over me.”

“Ah, if I keep watching, will you be okay?”

“I hope you’re doing well without me seeing you?”

I thought it was time to stop watching, but as I was thinking that, Veronica groaned and turned the screen.

I was dragging the map with the mouse to check it out, but in that game, I was looking at one side of the map, moving in an instant the long distance that used to take a month to move.

Is that how God looks at the world? If that’s the case, I think he’s really close to being an observer.

Access to already completed games and already organized systems was limited.

In the midst of all this, there was Veronica, who was busy clicking on various things.

She went into the cathedral grounds and found a person, and after confirming his name and appearance, she let out a sigh and breathed, and was giving divinity to the bishop.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, this guy helped me.”

“ex.”

I frowned, wondering if she was trying to show her gratitude to the person who had helped her, but Veronica quickly started to mumble.

“There is no more Pope, and there will be no saints here, so wouldn’t it be okay for that person to be the Pope for a little while?”

“That may be true.”

Now that I think about it, there were a lot of things I hadn’t organized.

In fact, there were parts that I left untouched because it was difficult to organize them properly with this power.

Yes, I felt like this was the way to fill in the gaps that I had missed while trying to compromise with reality.

The game time passed quickly, and soon the bishop was crowned Pope, and the Pope, who had become the closest being to God, ended up deposing the king.

Veronica was shocked when she saw that and hit me and shouted.

“Oh my, Kylon! I didn’t do anything, and you’re executing the king!”

“Huh, huh? Maybe it’s because I hid the fact that I found you before? I revealed your identity to that bishop.”

“Oh, right. I see… That’s right. It was a long time ago, so I don’t remember well. Hehe.”

The bishop who helped Veronica became the pope and the first leader of the Holy Land.

The first thing the Pope did was to depose and execute the king and everyone involved.

Perhaps it was because, having encountered Veronica before, he knew that the royal family had been hiding the saint and using her for their own selfish desires.

So, even without Veronica’s intervention, the matter proceeded quickly.

The king, and the nobles, soldiers, and nuns who had assisted him, were all executed with their heads cut off, and everyone in the other world was busy clicking their tongues at the sight.

Veronica stared blankly at it and then quickly turned off the game.

“… Why? Not really? ”

“No, um… If the ending had just been revealed, I would have felt good and turned it off, but it just kept going on and on, so it’s kind of hard to watch.”

“Then do you want to do something else?”

“Yeah, is there anything else?”

“Not much. Or you can go buy another game while you’re at it.”

“… Oh.”

Perhaps she had lost interest. Now that she had lost the obligation to look, Veronica was trying to turn her gaze to something else.

The date was December 25th. It was just past night, and Christmas still seemed far from over.

“… I don’t think there’s a place open right now.”

As I muttered like that, Veronica let out a sigh of regret.

If that’s the case, then why don’t you just buy a computer game and play it?

Thinking about it that way, I thought it would be more fun to do something together rather than playing a game alone, so I took her out.

“Should I watch TV? Or should I just go out and look at the streets? Since it’s Christmas, I’m sure there will be places with lights on until late at night. Is there a late-night movie on? ”

Asking that question, Veronica moaned and turned her head away.

And at the end, he fixed his head and stared at something as if he saw something.

“Who is that? You?”

“Oh, it’s me.”

Veronica reached out to see a picture of my original body, apparently intrigued by it.

“Pretty.”

“Your face doesn’t exist anymore.”

“… Now that I think about it, I wonder what happened to my original body.”

“Maybe it’s just completely changed since there’s no trace of it here?”

“If you do this without permission, isn’t your body dead?”

“That could be it. It could have been reported missing.”

“Uh, then what do I do? Aren’t I already listed as missing? T-what if I get reported dead…!”

Oh, wait a minute, I have to live as Han Ji-min, but if that damn house just reports me missing or dead, what can I do?

“Uh, uh, uh, should I go to the police station first?”

“Yeah, I don’t know anything… ”

“I’ll find out soon.”

As I said that, I found my smartphone.

And then, since the fingerprint recognition didn’t work, I ended up having to use a pattern to unlock it and repeat the search within that.

And then I found a fortunate phrase inside it.

“Oh, thank goodness, Veronica.”

“Oh, yeah.”

“If they can’t confirm that he’s dead, I guess it’s still a missing person report. Since they probably can’t determine that he’s dead without a body… Should I just go to the local government office and get an ID card and go register the marriage?”

“What?!”

“No, why are you doing that when you got the ring?”

“Ah, ah, I was surprised when you suddenly brought that up… !”

I barely managed to calm my momentary panic and let out a deep sigh.

I groaned, thinking that my status would be somehow resolved, and then the thought lingered in my mind, “It’s Christmas today, what should I do?”

I turned the vanity chair around and looked at Veronica sitting on it.

“… Now that I think about it, it’s a shame there’s no more cleaning magic.”

I thought it would be nice if that was the case so I wouldn’t have to do things like cleaning magic.

Then Veronica stood there blankly for a while and then chuckled.

“Is that what you’re saying as soon as you get back?”

“Of course. What a hassle it is to clean.”

“I see. That’s true… I don’t know if it’s that desperate since I didn’t use it. Wouldn’t it be okay if I just lived cleanly?”

Veronica said, stretching.

But I couldn’t agree with that.

Under the same roof as Veronica, and you keep the bed clean?

Does that make sense?

With that thought in mind, I carefully approached her and hugged her body.

The light body was lifted into my hands, and with a bang, it was hugged by me.

The lips met with a thud.

“Ugh. Should I wash it?”

As I said this, unable to hold back my laughter, Veronica opened her eyes wide and looked at me quietly.

“Trying to?”

“Oh, I’m going to do it.”

“… As you wish. No, fine.”

And then he answered in the affirmative.
