2.5th Cataclysm (6)

People all over the world were shocked.

A small ball launched by the Zodiac.

It destroyed the headquarters of Dem Universe, which reigned like the moon in the sky.

Even the airwaves around the world were reporting this phenomenon indiscriminately.

If it’s just a conspiracy theory floating around in the community, if the number of recommendations or views is high, they hit it right away without checking the facts.

It was only natural that every time I served it, it immediately became the greatest scoop of all time.

First hit the sidewalk and later

‘If not,’ or ‘Yes, I’m sorry.

But, as is the case with most media outlets, they don’t offer corrections or apologies.

And even though the airwaves are like this, terrestrial, cable, and countless individual broadcasters are not to be confused with.

truth and lies. fact and falsehood. All kinds of rumors and conspiracy theories are gaining strength

oh run away

In the meantime, the truths buried in the dark places of the Deep Web were rarely brought to mind, but most of the reported ones were mostly bullshit.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un did not simply hack the capsule monitors of the Dem Universe.

The video messages sent by Zodiac are well organized in writing and sent to various stations in the form of documents and photos.

was reported as

Even they were sent to well-known private broadcasters, so there was no way to cover them up.

Gone are the days when big news outlets monopolized information.

As individual streamers broadcast these issues, the media also frantically hit the news, telling others to cut this precious rice cake first.

Is the issue covered by a bigger issue? The stock price of Dem Universe was falling day by day due to the shocking facts that were heard over and over again as each day passed.

Meanwhile.

Dem Universe’s headquarters had been in a state of paralysis for a while now.

201,100,023.

It is the number of complaint mails that fly in per day.

As more than 2,000 emails come and go per second, there is no traffic capacity left.

Phone calls, complaints, and even threatening letters tied to arrows were being sent in.

“All the team leaders resigned and disappeared!”

“Hurry up, block mail and phone calls!”

“Complaints are coming from all over the world! Some branches have already been seized and searched!”

“Stop reporters and YouTubers who spread false facts! Beat them all down!”

“Wrong! It’s just an attitude of paying a fine, living in prison, and getting a scoop!”

“What about the bug response team!? A team dedicated to the Zodiac!? What are you all doing!”

“Sir! Do you have any orders from the headmaster yet!?”

“What is that!? What is that guy! Reporter?

no!? How did you get in! Get it out now!”

The employees inside the dem universe were busy moving around without opening their eyes.

right then

An incident occurred that made them even more astonished.

“I am connected!?”

The staff discovered that the server maintenance of Deus Ex Machina was forcibly finished.

Mainstream has reopened its servers and, as always, welcomes the crowd with open arms.

“Who!? Who opened the server!? What stupid bastard… … uh!?”

The employee ran wildly on the road looking at the screen and then stopped struggling on the way.

William Ringt Wilson. Total number of dem universe.

He reopened the game himself.

All the employees spread across the Dem Universe headquarters and hundreds of branches mutter the same thing at the same time.

“… … What do you think?”

madness? Are you desperate? Or is there a trick to turn this around?

In the mind of the criminal (凡人), it was an unfathomable judgment.

Meanwhile.

I use this through my TV and monitor

He was observing the whole series of events.

Violent protests are taking place every day in front of the headquarters of Dem Korea.

“Explain Dem Korea! Explain it!”

“Stop the game service made by killing people! Stop!”

“Are you bastards of humans?”

Numerous civic groups are holding up their pickets and shouting loudly.

The walls of the office building are rotten eggs and pain

It was already dirty with paper and other food waste.

“Stop it!”

Another fight broke out when the police pulled them out of the crowd.

“Take a picture!”

The reporters’ shutters are pressed.

The confrontation between protesters, police and reporters.

There, people of various nationalities gathered together.

Profanity and screams erupt in various languages. Truly Abigail.

Reporters, police, streamers, civic groups, bereaved families, onlookers, blacks, whites, yellow people, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Americans, French, Indians, Germans, Canadians, Turkish, Vietnamese, men, women, Children, young people, middle-aged, old people… … .

Various human groups gather to form a Melting Pot.

Dem’s ideal of transcending gender, race, and nationality was being realized in a slightly different direction.

“There is no riot like this.”

I sighed.

Some of the demonstrators also observed movements that seemed to worship the Zodiac.

The zodiac was no longer the god of disaster.

He was a democracy fighter and became a human rights activist.

A person who was kidnapped by a huge vicious transnational corporation and subjected to various kinds of torture and biological experiments.

And the brave who fought fiercely even in that hell.

Not only was Zodiac once a promising doctor, but Dem You

The fact that there was an older brother who went missing while working as a game developer in Niverse was becoming more and more a topic of discussion.

Movies, cartoons, and novels depicting the life of the Zodiac were pouring out in piles every day.

“I don’t know how the world works.”

It’s as if someone entered the code ‘Do a barrel roll’ into reality.

A world where the earth and the sky change overnight. Just like in the world of Belphegol, the demon of sloth, and Kafcataract, the dragon of struggle.

“I really can’t even guess an inch ahead. How will things work out?”

I had never experienced such a situation in the world before my return, so I didn’t know how to deal with it.

Looking at the trend of public opinion, it seems that the words of the zodiac are almost becoming a fact.

And Wilson was just letting things get to this point. without making any official statement.

Suddenly, I remember what Wilson said in my mind.

‘Ahahaha. You can’t make a game by yourself. my imagination is big

A frame was created and countless people put flesh on the setting… Filling in the old … catch the bug… That’s how we all make it together. Like the Cthulhu Myth or the SCP Foundation you are familiar with. So this game belongs to everyone. ,

‘I tend to read a lot of books in order to imagine various things. I guess the classics don’t help much. But there is no better time to cultivate imagination than these days. If you look on the internet, there are a lot of really clever ideas. Another unspoiled imagination of pure children does not help. There are so many creative things. others

The things I imagined first are like treasures to me.’

‘I want to protect this world. I want to protect this space where everyone can be happy until the end. I want you to lend me your strength.’

‘I can’t prove to you my innocence. sun or clouds. wind and land. As such, it is complete and natural in itself. It is not only pointless but also impossible to prove an immutable concept that cannot be debated:

‘I can’t tell you my beliefs or thoughts, but this is definitely the only thing

don’t One For AH. AU For One. I’m setting bigger goals for everyone’

Memories that pass through my mind like subtitles that pass quickly.

If what the Zodiac says is true, then why did Wilson create this game at the expense of innocent people?

To become a god of a new world, as the zodiac guessed? just like that

Why did you build such a huge virtual reality world?

So, why did he finally say this to me?

‘•••… If you know my purpose, you too will have no choice but to sympathize with me. You are the only human who can empathize with me:

“Don’t forget and remember the consequences of your daily choices for the rest of your life.”

However, no matter how much I thought about it, I could not guess Wilson’s intentions, nor could I empathize with him.

When you’re struggling alone like that.

… widely!

Dahee Yu asked, putting her shoulder on my shoulder.

“You are the Zodiac, do you believe in him?”

“… … I do not know.”

“I think he is a scammer. That snake tongue. But that doesn’t make Wilson look particularly good.”

“Well, the world isn’t just divided between good and evil.”

When me and Dahee Yu are having a conversation.

jii ing… …

cell phone rings loudly

I saw something

“Is it a girl?”

Yoo Da-hee opens her axe’s eyes and picks up her phone before me.

I looked at the number and nodded.

Dahee Yoo gives me a cell phone with a dissatisfied expression.

[…] … Hello? Demon King?]

The voice was that of Ayaka Akisada.

Now that she has become quite proficient in Korean, she conveyed the matter to me in an urgent voice.

[Go into the game right now

I think I should!]

in the game? Why all of a sudden in a place where a nuclear bomb of money fell and everything was devastated?

Even the top executives of the Dem Universe headquarters said there was nothing to do with the unrecovered gold.

Besides, Baekseop might not have been completed yet.

Then there was a loud noise from the hallway.

Whoops!

Director Uhm Jae-young jumps into the wind in pajamas.

“Hello! Honest! Honest! This! This! This! Did you see the news!?”

He seems to have come to show me some posts that have suddenly exploded in views in the gaming community.

-Hey? I am suddenly connected to dem???

-What? There is still quite a bit of time left for server maintenance??

– In this country????

– Oh what?后后Have you been released a little early?

– go straight to

– Oh really?

– Oh oh! I believed it! Go straight ahead!

– Are you really baekseop? Haven’t all of my items been blown away? TTTTTT

-Really, there are pigs and pigs still playing this shit in this country.

-How about doing something fun though…

-This is my whole life!!

I’m really connected with -;;

During the server check, the access limit of the dem was suddenly released.

“What?”

At the sudden news from director Um Jae-young, both me and Yoo Da-hee just looked at each other’s faces.

At the same time, I quickly headed to the capsule in the room.

Are you going to restart the game in this situation? Is Wilson crazy?

Judgment that cannot be guessed at all.

I turned on the game with a confused mind.

– Tiling!

[Deus Ex Machina is your

Welcome to visit!]

And the moment I heard this familiar welcome, I was able to understand a little bit how Wilson felt in making this decision.

In my memory, ‘the last update has started.
