Another World Returner’s Game Streaming

138 – The Demon King Descends, Aftermath (3)

To conclude, the ‘Moonlight Company’ failed to find out the cause of this incident.

The only thing we found out was that the face of the female mage summoned by Aleister matched the face in the picture that Eugene held out as a humanized version of the sword.

Looking at this point, the truth of this situation could still be said to be unknown.

Of course, if we say that Eugene is a transcendent being who returned from another world, as the streamer named Saime is talking about, all questions will be resolved in an instant.

But sadly, of all the people gathered here, Saime’s hypothesis… So, there was no one anywhere who listened to his crazy delusions.

This is because, according to people’s common sense, something like this world could not exist.

In this way, Moonlight Company tried to reach a conclusion after ruling out the one correct answer that penetrates all of these situations.

“… Come to think of it, when we first contacted the Sword Lord, he flatly refused to film an advertisement with us.”

For whatever reason, Eugene steadfastly refused to accept Moonlight Company’s offer to film an advertisement.

He wondered if he was not filming commercials because of some personal belief, but hadn’t Eugene already filmed commercials related to Nightfall’s DLC in the past?

Well, it can happen up to this point.

Just as the Pyongyang governor would stop if he didn’t like it, Eugene must have had a personal reason for not wanting to do commercials for whatever reason.

However, Eugene eventually accepted Moonlight Company’s offer and agreed to film the advertisement.

And that was because of the absurd offer made by the marketing team leader, who said he would make the sword you want, out of a sense that he was giving up everything.

In addition, Eugene did not simply accept the marketing team leader’s proposal, but even added one condition to it.

It was nothing different than asking him to add a humanizing function to the sword and to set its appearance to the way he wanted!

Up until this point, while listening to the marketing team leader’s report, the general director had only vaguely felt that Eugene was really serious about his sword and that he was such an amazing guy …

“The story is different once a woman with that appearance is embodied in the game in response to [Schrödinger’s cat] And her intentions.”

Additionally, the general director was able to recall a rumor related to Eugene that had been secretly circulating in the industry recently.

According to the rumor, Eugene visited Ragnarc Studio and used his will to greatly help in correcting the system errors of ‘Thousands’.

Of course, the general director heard the rumor and thought it was groundless nonsense, so he let it go in one ear and let it go in the other.

If something goes wrong with the game system in the first place, it is up to the programmers and coding slaves to take care of it. Why on earth would Eugene, who is just a streamer, get involved in it?

But regardless of that bullshit, the general director was certain of the fact that Eugene and Ragnark Studio were in some kind of relationship.

This is because in this industry, most of the strange rumors floating around are generally supported by factual evidence.

If this were a novel or a drama, I might have believed the bullshit that Eugene modified the Thousand’s system through his thoughts, but no one here believed that.

“First of all, it means that there must have been some kind of transaction between the Sword Master and Ragnarc Studio. It is also a relationship that shares something secret that can never be expressed to the outside world.”

“I think it’s very likely.”

Since the prerequisites were a mess, the conclusion that was drawn was bound to be a mess as well.

“The woman who was summoned through [Schrödinger’s Cat] Spoke very intimately with the sword lord, as if she had known him in person. In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to say that it is very likely that she is a person who existed in reality?”

“But the Sword Lord is not a fan of swords, and she is not one to ask for a real-life woman to be given a humanized form on the sword she wields. There is a high probability that the woman is definitely not in this world.”

“Ah… “

In fact, she was a person who did not exist in this world.

Because currently, Adelheit is staying in a dimension other than Earth.

“And now that I think about it, the sword the sword lord asked me to make… So, the ability of the commonly known ‘Key Sword’ also feels somewhat suspicious.”

“Therefore… “She asked me to create a sword with the ability to randomly form doors to other dimensions, right?”

“To be honest, I never understood the sword lord’s request. What on earth are you going to use the sword that opens the door to another dimension? In the first place, where are the other dimensions in the world of virtual reality games? The sword lord is not planning on swinging that sword in reality.”

In fact, Eugene was thinking of bringing Altina’s body to life by materializing the key sword in reality and connecting Earth and this world.

“From here, it’s just my guess, but the sword lord is in a different dimension from the Thousand through the ability of the ‘Key Sword’… So, aren’t you trying to connect it to other games? If you think that way, it all seems to make sense.”

“… Yes? However, our game is a single-player game and Thousands is a multiplayer-only game. How are you saying that the two games are connected?”

“Did you forget? Did you know that the Sword Master’s unique ability, [Master of the Sword], Is the ability to perfectly summon Nightfall’s Yuria to the world of the Thousand?”

“…”

“Of course, the sword lord himself would not benefit from connecting ‘Thousand’ with the world of other games.”

“So, this would mean that Ragnarc Studio is the entity that aims to connect ‘Thousands’ with other games using the key sword.”

When someone blurted out those words, most of the people in the conference room looked as if they had realized something.

“Now that I think about it, Ragnarc Studio recently said that they are planning to greatly expand their IP due to the tremendous success of ‘Thousands.'”

To be more precise, they are planning to break away from the existing system of AOS games with battle royale elements and enter new fields such as roguelikes and RPGs.

However, unfortunately, among the game companies that expanded their business in such an octopus style, there were extremely few companies that could be said to have succeeded.

This is because using an existing IP as a stepping stone to advance into another field of gaming may seem plausible on the surface, but in reality, the chances of success are extremely slim.

“But what if it were possible to absorb games from completely different genres into ‘Thousands’? Wouldn’t there be a need to develop new games to expand the IP?”

“And with the appearance of Nightfall’s Yuria in the Thousand, it even proved that such a thing is not completely impossible.”

“Besides, there is already an excellent specimen called [Master of the Sword], So there is no need to go through the headache of coding again. All you have to do is figure out the exact operating principle of [Master of the Sword] And then apply it to the entire game.”

“Then, was the reason for calling the Sword Master to Ragnarc Studio to conduct sufficient research on the [Sword Master]?”

“Perhaps the identity of the unidentified monster summoned by Aleister is none other than… “

“It may be the embodiment of a kind of virus that arose during the research process of absorbing and integrating various types of games into Thousands.”

Then, it is understandable that the monster was able to destroy the system in ‘Destiny Over’ so easily.

It was difficult for everyone to continue speaking.

Of course, all of this is just speculation based on simple circumstantial evidence.

But if not, the actions of Eugene and Ragnarc Studio so far have not been explained at all.

“… Then, does the Sword Master also realize Ragnarc Studio’s intentions?”

“I think that’s probably true. And in exchange for helping them with their ambitions, he must have asked them to resurrect his deceased ex-lover in a virtual reality world. Because she always harbored affectionate feelings for that woman, she [Schrödinger’s cat] Was able to sense those feelings.”

“… In the end, it seems like she had a really deep relationship with her current lover, to the point where her memories her her relationship her to her became a trauma.”

As for the speculation that Eugene is traumatized by memories related to Adelheit… It wasn’t completely wrong.

“Then how on earth should we act? To be honest, if a large company like Ragnarc Studio decides to make a move, there is no way a company like us can fight back.”

“… For now, just watch the situation unfold. And if the Sword Lord wants us to do anything, please grant it. “We have to let them know that we are never their enemy.”

Something strange was coming out of the eyes of the general director who said those words.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t just bow down to them like a brat. Please let us know that we actually know about some kind of ‘plan’ you guys are hatching. But not too blatantly, just enough for the other person to notice.”

“How do you mean?”

“Even so, the Sword Master is planning to visit our headquarters in the near future regarding the system recovery of ‘Destiny Over.’ It would be better to talk to the sword lord then. In fact, we know that you asked me to make you a keyblade with the intention of resurrecting your dead ex-lover. Just saying that much is probably enough.”

So, roughly speaking, through this causal relationship, bullshit like something like resurrecting a lover ended up coming out of the development team leader’s mouth.

… Of course, from Eugene’s point of view, all of this was just nonsense.

‘I am on Earth… They say they need a key sword to fully realize Adelheit… ?’

I just need the key sword to delay Adelheit from coming to Earth as much as possible… ?

… No, and I say that I am a hero who returned from another world, but why do they not believe me?

Eugene couldn’t understand why the story was going this way.
