Chapter 12

# 12

12. If you want to live, get on the rope well (4).

Opportunities are given.

As far as I can see, it’s really generous.

Even if the detailed things we experience in battle are omitted and transmitted to the master outside the screen, it does not mean that the master does not know the situation at all. It’s enough to know who fights the most, who plays the most, and who lags behind.

[Add ‘Han( )’ to Favorites.]

[Add ‘Zena( )’ to Favorites.]

He didn’t seem to have any intention of making the same mistake as the first time.

Isel appeared and cried out.

[Jenna Yelsons. go into synthesis Execution!]

“Synthesis, where is it?”

[See the right door? You can go in there.]

Yelsons looked at me anxiously.

What do you mean?

want help?

If at least I pretended to fight, I would have tried to help a little. I was willing to give up at least one goblin, just like Shay did to me.

I told Jenna.

“Go away. Nothing will happen to you.”

“I’ll be back.”

Jenna left for the synthesis with firm steps. Elsons, on the other hand, couldn’t take a step.

“Why aren’t you going?”

“Go, what will happen if I go?”

“You will be judged for what you have done.”

“I’m the only one who was unreasonably brought here!”

“That’s your idea.”

[It’s the first time we agree!]

A mischievous smile appeared on Issel’s lips.

[I’m tired of putting diapers on my babies. Go in quickly.]

“I’m not going.”

[Really?]

Issel threw the Yelsons into the synthetic lab.

The door is closed.

[Are you sure you want to synthesize?]

[Yes (selection) / No]

[Synthesis complete!]

[‘Yelson’s ( )’ becomes light and disappears.]

[‘Jenna ( )’ level up! Acquisition of ‘hawk eye’ skill!]

Shortly after.

The synthesizer’s door opened and Jenna walked out with a bewildered expression.

“What happened? The old man turned into light and disappeared.”

“Here, the useless guy dies as a sacrifice to the useful guy. Next is my turn. Which one of you will be.”

I looked at the two and said.

The door to the synthesis was not yet closed.

[Next one Toby!]

“Me, are you letting me go home?”

Isel grabbed Toby’s wrist and tossed it. I went into the synthetic lab after that. The purple magic circle beneath the synthetic cellar surrounded by metal walls shone ominously.

“Right? I’m going home. I’m going back!”

“I’d rather think of it that way.”

Toby murmured with a delighted face.

I didn’t even have the strength to respond. It would be better to go without pain like that than to die from a monster. Toby slowly disintegrated and disappeared, starting with his legs.

[Synthesis complete!]

[‘Toby ( )’ turns into light and disappears.]

[‘Han ( )’ level up! Acquiring the ‘Calmity’ skill!]

After coming out to the plaza, the synthesis center was closed and did not open again. Aaron, the last one left, stared blankly at me.

I smiled and patted Aaron’s shoulder.

“You’re lucky.”

“Why, why don’t you come back? Could it be that he’s dead?”

“You could have gone home. Why, do you want to try it too?”

Aaron shook his head frantically. Then he said with a reddened face.

“You bastard, you know... didn’t you tell me!”

“Would you have believed me if I told you? I thought they were kids who spoke a foreign language because they didn’t listen to me so much.”

Aaron shuddered, but did not run at me. I just went into the dorm with a deep moan.

I said to Issel.

“Is this the end of today’s schedule?”

[No wait! I haven’t disconnected yet.]

Issel did somersaults and disappeared.

After a while, a system message popped up.

[Build the facility. Please touch the type of facility you want.]

[You have selected ‘Blacksmith’, an annex of ‘Arsenal Lv.1’. Would you like to build? 500 gems are consumed for construction.]

[Yes (optional) / No]

It’s a forge.

but. Since the materials had accumulated quite a bit, it was time to synthesize the equipment.

[If Master Reality is busy, how about allowing the hero to act autonomously? You can get a special harvest!]

[Tips/The hero’s ‘autonomous action’ is one of the core features of Pick Me Up, and it is a system in which the hero acts according to his will without a master accessing it. The result of the action depends on the hero’s inclination.]

[Yes (optional) / No]

[Do you want to close the master connection?]

[Yes (optional) / No]

[Then goodbye!]

The rainbow-colored sky turned gray. has changed Amkena ended Pick Me Up.

“Are you done?”

[I told Loki to be a pup...!]

Issel started to panic.

I can’t keep track of the emotional changes.

[sorry! If I had known it was Loki, I wouldn’t have done that! Really!]

“It’s crazy, so do it in moderation. I’m not too angry.”

[Why is Loki here... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

Issel screamed, holding her head.

[I want to live for fun...]

“...”

Was it that shocking?

I can’t understand. This is almost at the level of a sasaeng fan.

Isel, who was frustrated with her pigtails bobbing, jumped up and said.

[Go go go go go go go go go! What will happen to Niflheim without you?]

Niflheim is the name of the waiting room on my account.

It consists of a total of 13 floors, and is called the king of infrastructure construction among ranker types, such as accommodations with a capacity of 20,000, a 22-level training center and an 18-level arsenal.

Then what do you do?

I, the real master, is here.

I let out a deep sigh.

“That’s right.”

[You’re not going to fold it?]

“It’s like this, what can I do?”

[Then what will happen to the 20,000 troops of Fallen City!]

“It will work somehow. Niflheim will not disappear without me.”

[However, if there is no master, Loki...]

“If you’re so sorry, send it back.”

[I can’t do that.]

Issel lowered her head with a grim expression.

Know. This guy is also just a middle manager who gets hit and miss with his boss and work.

“Anyway, the owner of this waiting room is a human on Earth, right?”

[Yeah.]

Okay, I became compliant.

I decided to take this opportunity to ask questions.

“Even the heroes that are summoned are not artificial intelligence.”

[that’s right. The world they belong to is slightly different, but they are all human.]

“Can I return to Earth if I climb the tower to the 100th floor?”

[that... I don’t know.]

“Don’t you know?”

[Really! Trust me!]

“Okay. Next question. Who brought me here?”

[...Can’t answer.]

“Ha, that’s right.”

[Sorry.]

“Then let’s skip this. Like you said, you’ll find out when you climb the tower. To the next question. How far can you access the master’s authority?”

[Right now, it’s just about popping up help, opening and closing facilities, and assisting autonomous actions.]

Next.

This is the crux of the question.

“Is the waiting room of the other masters the same as this one?”

[The details are slightly different, but the basics are the same.]

“...”

Do 100 million worlds like this exist?

Laughter came out at the absurd scale.

I never thought that what happened in the game would be real in another world. That a decision I made carelessly could have been a death sentence for the hero in the game.

If he returned to Earth, he decided to climb the tower in a way that would save the heroes as much as possible. Except for those who can’t do their part.

Combat isn’t the only way a hero can contribute to the Master. Most of the functions of this waiting room are locked, so it is useless if you are not talented in combat.

If the rank of this waiting room was a bit higher, even those who died in vain could have a role. They’re just out of luck.

But what can I do? that the world is like that.

‘I wonder if the Niflheim kids are doing well without me.’

If the heroes there were still alive, they would have noticed my absence by now.

I couldn’t go back for a while.

It will be fine though.

Pick Me Up has a function where a designated hero operates the waiting room in place of the master when the master is absent for a long time. Therefore, Pick Me Up also had the title of an idle game.

‘Siris will take care of it.’

Niflheim’s Submaster Siris was exceptionally smart and wise.

When I entrusted one, he did two, and he had the gift of knowing what I wanted like a ghost. I really can’t believe this is artificial intelligence.

Anyway, my nose is three.

I decided to find a way to live.

“Isel.”

[Ugh huh?]

“Do you want to climb the tower?”

Isel hesitated and nodded.

“Listen to me. I’ll let you go up.”

This time, he nodded absently.

current status.

The number of floors reached is 3 floors.

Autonomy was unlocked and the forge was opened.

The scope of activity has been greatly expanded.

I’ll have to slow down a bit from tomorrow.

With Issel’s help, it would be possible.

I leaned back on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.

The gray sky remained.
