Otherworld TRPG Game Master Chapter 16

EP.16

Even in an imminent fire situation, the wizard remained calm.

Rather, he looked at Irid as if he felt pity.

“Prince… this is just illusion magic.”

“Don’t insult the time you spent with her…!”

The hand holding my collar tightened. Irid glared at the wizard with a force that literally threatened to kill him. The wizard sighed as if his gaze was stinging.

“What on earth can you gain by denying that it is illusion magic?”

“…what?”

He started spouting the language of a lunatic.

“It’s simpler this way, prince. It’s even more correct.”

“The evil wizard had…picked on the prince a little, and all the incidents and accidents that happened inside were nothing more than a midsummer night’s dream.”

“After that, it’s easy. All you have to do is severely punish the appropriately angry and mischievous wizard. There is nothing for you to be responsible for here, Prince.”

“But… if you believe a fleeting fantasy to be the truth… oh my god, where do I start to solve this problem?”

The wizard’s gloomy eyes looked at Irid. Despite the anger that was still rising, Irid had no choice but to relax his grip. The indifference swirling in the wizard’s eyes. It’s so crazy that I feel like I’m taking all of this lightly.

“I’ve seen many people like the prince…”

“Those who couldn’t keep their distance and immersed themselves all met terrible endings. That’s natural. Players are always… strangers. They can’t be together forever. . We are destined to part ways with them someday.”

“Just… an illusion magic that shows you what you fear the most. Wouldn’t this be good?”

Irid’s hands trembled as much as his shaking heart.

It was an extremely harsh and insulting comment that broke my heart. It was that tempting. What if the wounds he received, Centra’s crisis, and the miserable future of Emperor Yongrak were all lies?

In that case, it would be better not to be angry at yourself.

It was good for me not to be disillusioned with myself for not being so foolish as to not be able to read the foreshadowing of the attack and letting her get caught up in the explosion. If you just vent your anger at the wizard in front of you, everything will end with that.

however.

Memories that I can still recall clearly when I close my eyes.

The scent of rosemary still lingers in my nose.

My aching heart was still refusing.

…I couldn’t run away with the convenient option.

Second Prince Irid reflected on the nine-day journey.

Scenes from the past flashed through Irid’s mind like a panorama.

“At first… I was afraid. It was a terrible experience to be lost in an unfamiliar future and wander through the back alleys of the city, brooding over my failures. I still hear voices blaming me from time to time in my ears.”

Emperor Yongle was about to give up everything in the future.

I got so scared and tried to run away.

“But… I was very happy after that. I forgot my obsession with becoming emperor someday and my terrible failure.”

She caught Irid as he ran away.

She guided Irid’s soul like a firefly.

“It’s as if a hole in my soul has been filled. I have received something so precious from her.”

And then there was the current Irid.

Irid, who was caught up in anger and impatience, was able to reflect on himself through the wizard’s twisted words. The wizard in front of me was reflecting on his future, where he ran away in fear.

I couldn’t throw away the precious things I had worked so hard to collect in order to escape. I had to take one step forward, embracing both the hurt and the joy. The world called it courage.

“…I see. So, I guess that was it.”

Second Prince Irid realized.

Why did I wake up in an empire 100 years later?

How was it possible to find half of one’s soul in such a wide system?

It was no coincidence.

“It appears that it was not a magic that was sent out randomly. It is said that the gods of the distant past gave their champions trials that were like two sides of a coin. And it is said that they gave enormous strength to those who survived the trials.”

Trial of fate. A grand ceremony in which the fate of a representative was chosen at a time when the gods directly intervened in the human world, and was shaken on the table.

“Trials and tribulations. Is this dimensional magic that transports PC players to a world where their fate lies?”

“…Is that what you decided to think?”

“You must have experienced it yourself first, a wizard. …and your heart was broken.”

“I’ve had a few not-so-pleasant experiences, but they’re all illusions.”

The wizard shrugged his shoulders. The movement seemed very mechanical.

After completing the spell, the wizard would also have attempted to travel to another dimension. And you must have failed miserably. His heart was shattered and he seemed to dismiss everything as an illusion.

“I won’t criticize you, you crazy bastard, for ignoring reality and running away. If it weren’t for her, I would have broken heart too.”

but.

“But I have one thing left to do. Cast the spell again.”

We need to save Sentra. The power of the explosion was considerable, but if prepared for by those who knew how to manipulate magic, it would only cause serious injury. Sentra had excellent reaction speed and senses, so it must have defended itself well.

To ensure a clear ending, Resistance hardliners will come to kill Sentra. She is vulnerable and dangerous. The only one who could help her was Irid.

2nd Prince Irid made up his mind.

The wizard shook his head as if he was confused and then spoke quietly.

“…Time is relative, prince. Time on the other side is almost as if it has stopped.”

“Is that so?”

“It would be a good idea to prepare well, eat some tasty snacks, and come back to play feeling refreshed.”

“It’s a good thing I have time. How many opportunities do I have left?”

“…Just once, prince.”

“Then I’ll see you in a week. Make a list of the items you need to recast the spell and send it to me.”

Irid straightened the wizard’s wrinkled clothes and turned his back. Once the incident was over, the purple magic tower lord and the boy knight who were confronting each other also gathered their magic power.

Irid took the boy knight and left the magic tower.

================================================================================= =============

The magic tower owner came out of the magic tower where one side of the wall was completely destroyed and looked at each other with a fierce expression. What on earth just happened?

I worked hard to figure out the situation and summarized it in one sentence.

“Right now, I’ve been mistaken for a ‘madman who lost his mind after being destroyed by dimensional magic and brainwashes himself into thinking it’s fantasy magic,’ right?”

Even after I summarized it, I couldn’t understand it and my head was dizzy.

Who’s crazy? Who’s crazy. I told you three times that it was fiction!

I naturally assumed that the 2nd Prince would be immersed in RP – acting.

I thought you knew it was an illusion. No that’s right!

What kind of crazy prince in the world would test dimensional magic with his own body?

It’s normal to replace about ten subordinates and jump in only after safety is guaranteed!

Because he thought it was just an illusion, he took the test to kill time!

But to think that the crazy prince who jumps into his own body through dimensional magic is true…. I

‘m going back and forth on whether I should misunderstand it and be indignant, saying it’s just my nature, or whether I should like it because it means I did a good job at implementing virtual reality, so the magic tower owner carefully expressed his opinion. did it

“Uh, but it is.”

“yes.”

“Comparing the prince and you, your mind is… slightly? It hurts… In fact, isn’t it really dimensional magic?”

“???”

I tried to deny the Mage Tower’s incoherent words——but.

If you think about it carefully, it was actually true. Compared to me and the crown prince, doesn’t the crown prince look neater? I also remember people’s names.

Am I actually a brain in a vat?

Am I, who thought I was a GM, actually a dimensional wizard?

Is the virtual idol Heart-chan, who I thought was a character I created and sent out, actually my hidden self??

“Kaaaaaaah no!!”

The Crown Prince’s Pungdun Agarisul and the Mage Tower fell into large-scale chaos.

After the two of us passed around the totems and pinched each other’s cheeks, we logged back into virtual reality and cloned 300 hearts to create a group flash mob.

I was able to sleep with my feet stretched out with peace of mind thinking that it was an illusion magic.

================================================================================= =============

“Please invite those who are skilled in calculations among the light flame magic tower wizards. Please also contact my sister.”

“…Are you okay? I suspect you are hypnotized, Prince.”

“Then would you like to do it?”

“Excuse me.”

The boy knight gathered magical power into his hand and tapped 2nd Prince Irid’s forehead.

Irid stumbled for a moment and then regained his stance.

“How is it?”

“I’m fine. My mood hasn’t gone up or down drastically, and I don’t feel any gaps in my memory. My resolve… remains intact.”

The boy knight frowned. It was only three hours. In three hours, the prince transformed into a different person. My impulsive personality became my driving force. The bright light flowing from both eyes reflected an unwavering resolve.

“What happened to you?”

“I fell in love 100 years in the future. It’s embarrassing.”

“It sounds very unfamiliar to me. The prince isn’t interested in that kind of thing, is he?”

“It’s just that I’ve never met an attractive woman before.”

“If you are so infatuated, I am concerned that you may have to stop the prince in order to fulfill your loyalty. I would like to use dimensional magic once again.”

“To be honest, I want to stay 100 years in the future, but I won’t. I have to make ‘Beer and Song’ resonate in this empire. I also have to stop the warlocks of the Kingdom Alliance.”

“…….”

“I’m trying to muster up courage. Before that… I want to save the person I love. Let’s put off working hard for the empire for a while. Will you join us, sir?”

“It’s cute and nice to look at. I’ll follow you.”

Irid walked ahead, and the boy knight followed.

The remaining period is one week.

Irid gathered experts in each field to save Sentra. There is

a word from the author (author review)

and a plaque next to it… It’s so amazing…

Thank you so much for all of your support, comments, sponsorship, interest, and all the good things!

My heart is racing. I’m happy.

I want to write down my thoughts on winning an Academy Award, but…!

It must be a fuss! For now, I’ve just taken the first step.

I will write my acceptance speech in a long, lengthy manner, worthy of an Academy Award.

Thanks again for reading, my friends!
