[Aaron Side Story Episode 1]

1. Purity for the One and Only (1)

“...?”

Aaron Delkard looked around.

The place where he was standing was a circular library.

A silver chandelier shining from the ceiling.

A tall bookshelf that can only be organized by climbing up a ladder.

A low bookshelf under it. In addition, countless bookshelves, large and small, filled the round room tightly.

‘I... Since when?’

it’s a strange place

The light from the flickering candles dimly illuminated the inside of the library.

“Are you okay, Aaron?”

Aaron looked to the side, startled.

A silver-haired woman wearing a long robe is smiling.

Her appearance was so mysterious that it did not feel real.

It feels like part of a dream.

Only Aaron knew the woman’s name.

Yunet Seed.

“Why are you blank? Please sit here.”

“Ah...yes.”

Aaron sat down at a table in the center of the library, as Yurnet guided him to.

“Why am I here?”

“Don’t you know? Because of my request.”

“Miss Yurnet’s... request?”

“is it so. Didn’t I ask Aaron to match my hobby?”

hobby.

Only then did Aaron’s memories gradually begin to return.

‘okay.’

While Aaron was resting in the fortress of Valhalla, Yurnet suddenly came to his room.

I need you, but you won’t hang out with me.

Urnet Sid, whom he usually knew, rarely expressed his views.

That’s why she asked for Aaron’s help.

Aaron, bewildered, accepted her request.

So, following Yunet’s guidance, he stood in front of a door in a certain hallway, and Aaron’s memory ended there.

“Aaron, is your life in Valhalla worthwhile?”

Squeak.

Yurnet said as she poured tea from unknown sources.

“Yes, it is fine.”

Valhalla.

It was a fortress built around the dimension called Niflheim in the past.

The purpose of Valhalla is to prevent the planned destruction of a certain dimension.

This fortress was maintained by a transcendent being named ‘Loki’.

Aaron and Yournet were one of Valhalla’s key executives.

Each position was different, but the two had worked together before ‘he’ gained divine status.

Yurnet as a mage in Niflheim.

Aaron as a spearman in Taonier.

Now that many things are over, together in Valhalla.

“Eat.”

Aaron drank tea.

“....”

Usually Yurnet Sid was wearing a black uniform, but now he is wearing a plain white robe.

“Condition management is necessary to preserve combat power in a long war.”

“Yes, it is.”

“What the master also emphasized. Do you agree?”

“...yes.”

The war continues.

Even now, some troops in Valhalla are fighting against the enemy on the front lines.

Aaron is just taking a break right now.

When it’s your turn, you have to step in.

War.

An eternal war with no end in sight.

In order not to lose oneself while fighting such a war, it is necessary to manage one’s physical condition.

The heroes of Valhalla must acquire a hobby, whether they like it or not.

This was also the Master’s order.

By the way, Aaron’s hobby is writing letters.

The target was his sister, Nina.

He wrote a letter every day, even though the letter never reached the person concerned.

“Is Miss Yurnet’s hobby of reading?”

“yes. I like books. To be precise, I like the stories of various humans... written in books.”

Yurnet smiled.

“That’s why I invited you to the library with the intention of having Aaron cooperate with my hobby.”

Aaron blinked.

“What help can I do? I’m not really interested in things like books...”

“The important thing is the story, not the book. A book is a vehicle for telling a story.”

“yes?”

“Why don’t you tell me Aaron’s story?”

“You mean my story? Even if you say that... I’m nothing special...”

“Aaron-nim is still humble.”

Yurnet continued.

“I wonder how you got that mysterious power called karma.”

“....”

“Can you tell me if it’s okay? Of course it’s not free. If there’s a story you want to know, I’ll tell you what I know.”

“Even if you say so...”

Aaron bowed his head.

“it’s okay.”

Aaron answered.

Yurnet made a flower color.

A game called Pick Me Up.

What was there in that first period?

I was just wondering

“Then let’s begin.”

Yurnet opened the first chapter of the book.

Aaron’s vision was colored with light.

It was the beginning of the story.

“How is development going?”

office of any company.

The office was busy with the sound of the CPU fan running, typing, and mouse moving.

A man and a woman were having a conversation there.

“Oh, I think we can meet the schedule.”

“is it so? What a relief! It was still close.”

The girl was overjoyed at someone’s answer.

“Now, are you all tired from working late into the night? I’ll pass you one cup at a time!”

“No, not like this...!”

“Ayy, I’m just doing it. I’ll do chores too! Leave the office cleaning to us! Fighting everyone!”

The coffees on the tray the girl was holding were placed one by one at each seat.

daughter.

Ice crunched inside the clear plastic container of coffee.

“After sleeping, we will give you a big bonus.”

“thank you!”

“Oh, how about a dinner after work today? I’ll do the payment. Any menu, just tell me!”

“Is it possible to have a large belly of tuna?”

“of course!”

“What about the rib eye?”

“of course!”

The atmosphere in the office heated up when he said he would do anything.

They burned their passion for work and began to concentrate on their respective tasks.

Dinner tonight.

The employees’ mouths were watering at the expensive menus they couldn’t eat.

“Then I will go! Everyone, please do your best!”

“yes!”

The morale of the development team was boosted at once by cheering.

As always.

Despite her high rank as CEO of the company, she treats employees without discrimination and works hard for them.

“Kya, ribeye for a dinner party?”

“Isn’t it a food that’s a mess because you can’t even find it on Earth?”

“What is tuna belly fat again?”

“Have you heard of sashimi?”

When the CEO left the office, each of them giggled.

The company’s name is Mobius.

It was a special purpose company created for the development of a certain game.

Due to its special purpose, the headquarters of this company was not located in the earth.

“I hear it’s the prettiest food on Earth?”

“episode? Eating fish flesh raw?”

“Hey, it’s popular in that district.”

They wear suits and wear employee IDs around their necks, but they are not native to Earth.

He wasn’t even human.

Its identity is a spirit.

It was a race born for smooth dimensional management of the gods.

The spirits here have human bodies, but the core of their existence is the spirit Buddha dwelling somewhere in their bodies.

The body is just a medium, but even if it is lost, it can wander as a translucent soul or dwell in other spare bodies.

These spirits imitate humans by being possessed by soulless bodies.

“Ikar cares about us like that. Whew. I don’t know what he’s doing.”

“I always crave.”

“If I were only half like you, I wouldn’t have a wish.”

bang!

The office door slammed open.

The staff who were talking behind their backs all became quiet.

“...”

It was a girl who came in this time.

It looks almost similar to the woman who encouraged the employees earlier.

The difference is the sharp eyes and cold expression on the face.

“What you looking at? Don’t you close your eyes?”

The girl’s eyes hardened.

The spirit temples lowered their eyes in unison.

“What? iced coffee? The release is right around the corner, but the coffee goes over, right?”

The girl gulped down someone’s coffee on the table.

“So, how is the development progress?”

“Fortunately, the schedule can be met!”

The same person as before gave the same answer as me.

The girl’s eyebrows were crooked.

“whatever.”

“yes?”

“The schedule is definitely right. That’s the problem. Is the game fun or not?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you sure? When this game comes out, it explodes unconditionally. You can sweep money.”

“The game has to come out...”

“Why is a bastard who doesn’t know that the team leader!”

bang!

The girl hit the table.
