Ch.205200 – Great Wealth Inevitably Returns (Part 2 Complete)

[Google Earth – Open World (.jp) Loading…]

Tokyo, Setagaya Ward, Japan.

Waking up in a residential area slightly away from the downtown bustle, I immediately headed to the rooftop of a nearby building.

[Haru, about that medicine your mother gave you. Do you still have any left?]

[No. That was all my mom had. Whatever was left, my sister threw it all away, so there’s nothing.]

Before parting with Bo-reum, I had asked her about the medicine Haru had been taking.

“That? It’s something my mom got when we all went on a family trip to Japan a long time ago.”

Bo-reum explained their situation to me.

“My mom was involved in a cult.”

The fear of death seemed to have had an especially devastating effect on someone who wasn’t particularly strong-willed to begin with.

[Our Haru will study hard and cure mom’s illness someday, right?]

The Japanese cult “Aleph.”

A religious group that originated from the infamous Aum Shinrikyo, nearly disbanded shortly after, but has resumed activities in recent years.

It was unclear how many followers they had or where their branches were located.

The only information exposed to the media was one regular meeting place.

Even this had reportedly been moved after a police report, so I had lost the trail again.

“I don’t know exactly how mom got connected with them. Anyway, that supplement was strange. It did make my head feel refreshed like mom said, but I’d get severe anemia when waking up the next day, so I threw them all away after that.”

In any case, the rebellious Bo-reum refused the medicine, and her mother’s attention and obsession shifted from her older sister Bo-reum to her younger sister Haru.

“Are you okay, sis?”

“Me? Why, what’s wrong?”

“Just let me check your head.”

“Hey hey hey, NoName! My neck tickles, ahh!”

After returning home, I spent a long time looking down at a time-frozen world in Google Earth’s 3D open world.

“Why did I even open the map?”

Looking up again, the clouds and birds in the sky were all frozen like taxidermy.

Was I planning to go to Japan in person if there was something there?

That might work in a past life, but it’s too much for this body.

This is clearly reality, not a game world where magic activates automatically with just magic circles and MP.

Especially to properly handle magic that harms others, you need a suitable body.

Sufficient mana capacity to sustain magic continuously.

Mana sensitivity directly linked to casting speed.

Mana resistance to stabilize magic circles and fix coordinates in turbulent mana flows.

My aura heart currently lacked all of these properly.

Do you really need force to live in the modern era?

“Well, not necessarily.”

While theoretical magic scholars receive the highest treatment, most professions still have nothing to do with magic.

Also, no matter how powerful an individual might be, it’s difficult to exert power against a well-organized group.

In the end, to gain sufficient power in the modern world requires more than just knowledge or force.

It could be money, some position, or even connections.

It’s certainly a better world to live in, but also much more complicated.

This isn’t the simple medieval era where saying “there are bad guys over there” would prompt the emperor to lead his knights on a march.

Just look at America now, for example.

In Africa, thousands of civilian casualties occur every day.

It’s not that America lacks the power to end the war.

Rather, the complex entanglement of interests with surrounding countries prevents them from even attempting to step in.

“It’s overwhelming.”

“What’s overwhelming? Hehe.”

When I turned my head, Adella was pinching my cheek with a bright smile.

“Adella, when did you get here?”

“What do you mean when? How could you just leave in the middle of a party! I’ve been looking everywhere for you. So what’s bothering you?”

“Just wondering how I should live from now on.”

Truthfully, the prospect of being given great power was also burdensome.

With power comes the feeling that I should step up and do something, and if things go wrong again, I’d blame my insufficient strength.

It’s ultimately a continuous vicious cycle.

I sometimes regret not having lived as a greenhouse flower from the beginning.

“Sis should do what you’re good at!”

“Not what I like?”

“They say nowadays you should do what you’re good at, not what you like!”

“Did you learn that from VTube?”

“Yep! You’re good at that, sis. Breaking things and hitting people. That’s what you should do!”

“What kind of job is that? Are you telling me to do martial arts? With this body?”

“Kaha! That would be fun too.”

“Come on.”

It was my mistake to ask Adella for advice.

Let’s wait for the government’s announcement first.

Since they said they contacted the UN Commander at the time, if I can extract something, information about Walpurgis might come out as well.

While refreshing news sites, the front page updated with a huge headline.

[Breaking News – President Newsom Confirms US Participation in ‘Sudan War’]

“What’s this? Didn’t they say they would absolutely not participate?”

The article I clicked on contained shocking information.

[President Montana Newsom revealed that the Russian private military company ‘Verni Group’ has close ties with the terrorist organization ‘Walpurgis.’]

“Why? Is that so surprising?”

“Of course. It means they’re going to break their alliance with Russia and the UAE first.”

I already knew that the US was obsessed with eliminating Walpurgis.

Ten years ago, the main stage of Walpurgis’ terrorism was the United States.

But is that enough justification to hastily break alliances and fight in foreign countries?

I’m not sure.

“That’s what you’d expect from a superpower, not caring what others think! Is this kind of like…?”

Adella raised her eyebrows.

“Hm?”

“If there’s something you can’t accomplish with power, maybe you don’t have enough power! Yeah, that’s right. So sis, just live comfortably without worrying about what others think. The US population is 400 million, right? If the big boss leading 400 million people can make such bold decisions, what are you so worried about?”

Our eyes met.

Despite Adella’s cheerful tone, she was surprisingly conveying a profound meaning.

I patted her head approvingly while standing on my tiptoes, then closed Google Maps.

All the buildings disappeared, leaving an infinite white empty space.

“The war will end soon.”

“Huh, why? They just joined the war, why would it end?”

“That’s just how it is.”

“By the way, when will you make my body? I want to go outside soon!”

Adella stomped her feet and hopped around, then flopped down on the floor.

I lay down too, resting my head on her legs and looking up at the empty ceiling.

I stretched my fingers wide open, extending them upward enough to reach Adella’s field of vision.

“To bring you into reality as you are, we need three types of magic.”

“Mm-hmm.”

“First, 5th Circle Akashic Record. This is the base magic that will create your physical body.”

“Isn’t 5th Circle easy?”

What nonsense.

The Akashic Record isn’t a convenient magic that just creates whatever you want with a poof.

You need to pre-enter a “blueprint” through molecular modeling into the formation circle for it to activate properly.

And the only “human” blueprint I have is myself from my past life.

If someone said they would write a human blueprint, they’d immediately become a laughingstock because it involves extreme tedium.

But the one who accomplished this was none other than the Blue Dragon Tsurevis Ostantein, who had a hobby of biological experimentation.

For a full 100 years, with the sole determination to create his own research materials, he completed the blueprint in a cave, and in the end, even tried to sacrifice me.

Well, thanks to that, I obtained truly valuable data.

“Next is 7th Circle Persona Pisces. This magic converts your personality, which exists in data form, into a form suitable for the physical body.”

Adella’s eyes widened like saucers when she saw seven fingers.

“7th Circle…? Oh… no, 7th Circle…”

“And finally, another 7th Circle magic, Dragonia Nascientia, which integrates body and mind. It’s originally magic that optimizes the subject for their current environment. Since Adella’s mind is accustomed to Adella’s body, it will appropriately transform my body, created with the Akashic Record base, into Adella’s body. In other words, it eliminates the gap between virtual reality and physical reality.”

“Then it’s practically impossible… hiiing… Do I have to live here forever?”

“I’ll work harder so Adella can come outside and live together with me.”

“I’m sorry… I feel like I’m just complaining…”

Adella spoke with a deflated voice. Her ears and tail, usually standing straight up, were drooping today.

“Is it still hard for you right now?”

“What would be hard for me… I just feel disappointed sometimes. I want to be with you. Like at today’s birthday party…”

“Our Adella must have felt really left out. Then shall we stay up all night together, just the two of us?”

“Really? Wait, but tomorrow’s Monday, is that okay? Don’t you have to go to the academy?”

“I’m staying home this week. I’ll only go for the final exams.”

“Wow, such a delinquent!”

Adella flicked my forehead.

“Ouch!”

“I’ve been thinking this for a while, but you’re really a delinquent!”

“Hmph, do you dislike that?”

“No, I like it! Oh right! Why did I keep forgetting to tell you this?”

Adella clapped her hands as if she just remembered something.

“I got official account approval from the capsule company! Now I can play games too!”

As the long rainy season ended, cicadas loudly announced the arrival of summer, basking in the intense sunlight.

Among people who might feel bored and tired of the same routines repeating every year,

A girl living an extraordinary life always brought various topics of conversation wherever she went.

In an alley in Gangnam, Seoul, elementary school students who had just finished classes were running around, unable to contain their energy.

Among the chaotic group of children, only a girl with twin tails walked slowly with an ice cream in her mouth.

She squinted naturally to protect her eyes from the bright sunlight, but even that expression was considered cute by others.

“Wow, it’s really NoName…!”

“Huh? Mister, do you know our friend?”

“Name! Someone’s calling you again!”

“Got you! Now you’re it!”

“Hey, that’s cheating! Time out, time out!”

The friendly children pulled Name by the wrist, and she suddenly found herself face to face with a young man.

The girl shielded the sun with her palm, looked up at him, and gave him a wide smile.

“We’ve met before. So, how did that protest go?”

* * *

The vacation period breathed new life into students who had worked hard during the semester.

On a summer day that was hell for stay-at-home parents but heaven for children.

A boy who received a capsule as a reward for good final exam grades nervously connected to virtual reality.

He felt like he had seen this phrase somewhere before:

[If you want to test your luck, look for a beautiful blonde woman and a pretty silver-haired cat-kin at 3:30 PM in Channel 4 lobby.]

So he connected to World of Arsheria Channel 4.

The boy, wearing only worn leather armor, covered his mouth in shock.

[NoName]

[Adella]

The women, among the most famous in the gaming industry, were arm in arm, engaged in deep conversation.

Just as he tried to approach them quickly, they turned into light and disappeared to the battlefield.

‘If only I’d arrived 5 seconds earlier.’

The boy’s luck extended only this far.

* * *

Every meeting has a parting, and those who leave will meet again.

But as for how that meeting will take place,

[Baek A-rin – Active]

Even heaven cannot easily provide an answer.

[Baek A-rin: Name…]

[Baek A-rin: Please help me…]
