Stella has developed the realm of stars.

 

It was like being in the middle of the universe. However, compared to the actual temperature of the universe, this place was very cozy.

 

[I’m glad you’re willing to talk.]

 

Stella laughed grotesquely with a pharynx.

 

[Be scared. Would you ease your expression a bit, Mr. Han Seong-ho?]

 

I think your face is more scary….

 

Stella started talking with a smile on her face.

 

[You seem to have a lot of questions, but shall we talk about Veronica Aslius first?]

 

I wanted to hear everything, so the order didn’t matter.

 

“Do you know why Veronica Aslius was here?”

 

[She came to see me. Up to here.]

 

Did the star that Veronica said she would follow mean Stella?

 

So how did Veronica know Stella?

 

[It was a variable. I didn’t know that Ozma was hiding in the essence of the Archmage. I can’t foresee a person who has attained the status of transcendence changing the future.]

 

Ozma.

 

When she heard the name, she was immediately convinced.

 

[Veronica Aslius noticed the existence of Ozma hiding inside her. And she had a conversation and learned the truth.]

 

The mystery about the note Veronica left me a thousand years ago has been solved.

 

The one who sealed the demon must be helping me, and he must not trust him if he wants to live…. It was something like that.

 

Ozma said that she was probably moved by Veronica who recognized her and told her honest story.

 

Ozma had heard of Stella’s plan long before she was born and even completed her deal. The 2nd Ice Emperor, I should have known that I would be chosen for the role to defeat the evil spirit.

 

[Veronica took her own life and threw out Ozma, then came to her underworld to find me. Ozma must have told me where I might be. The purpose of her coming to me must have been to hear the story directly from me.]

 

The view suddenly changed again.

 

I had a hallucination of a well-looking Veronica leading to a huge door in an ice lake.

 

[Veronica was a human who did not belong to my plans at all, so she did not bother to meet her.]

 

“Wait, how did Veronica float on the ice lake? Doesn’t she say that the dead fall into a lake of ice?”

 

[She is a natural ice wizard who was called the primordial Ice Emperor. So she was welcomed here by Lucifer, the demon who is the ruler of the Ice Lake. Thanks to her, she did not fall into the ice lake.]

 

“Ah.”

 

With the sight before her eyes, Veronica opened her door and her starry sky greeted her.

 

[Lucifer Ferrer tried to teach her her ultimate ice magic, [Ice Moon], And take on the role of the gatekeeper of her ice lake. She needed someone to stop the villains and monsters of the Ice Lake from entering her domain, just in case. If it was the same elsewhere, it would be enough to do it yourself, but as you know, Lucifer is in a position where he is sealed by Nephid’s power and cannot move his body.]

 

Stella raised her index finger.

 

[That’s what Veronica expected.]

 

“Expected? What?”

 

[You, Mr. Han Seong-ho, will come to learn the ultimate ice magic, [Ice Moon], To overcome the evil spirits.]

 

You predicted I would come?

 

[So Veronica asked Lucifer to make a deal. If there is someone who jumps over him and opens the door to the ice lake, he asks him to pass on the [Ice Moon].]

 

In the sight reflected in the field of vision. Veronica was seen saying something to her demon, Lucifer.

 

No voice was heard.

 

[Lucifer agreed, and Veronica became the gatekeeper to stop those who crossed the door. She has made it her mission to help you with her role as gatekeeper in this icy lake. Thinking that it is the most valuable thing for the truth obtained by rejecting lies. I liked her for helping me with my plans, so I also told her the truth she wanted.]

 

It was only then that I could understand the meaning of Veronica’s meaningful smile.

 

Everything made sense.

 

“Did you use that? Leaving me a message through Dorothy.”

 

[To defeat the evil spirits, we must use anything. It was a good option with Plus Alpha, so there was no reason to refuse. In the first place, I gave you a choice. You are the one who chose the option to come here, Han Seong-ho.]

 

My vision changed again and I saw Stella.

 

I couldn’t be mad at Stella for Veronica. Rather, Stella helped make her Veronica’s will come true.

 

In that case.

 

“The truth…. Veronica left after saying that she would go after you and stop lying. What is the lie Veronica said, and what is the truth?”

 

[I see. Now let’s talk about the truth and lies.]

 

Stella turned her head to her side.

 

I saw a splendid being whose form could not be discerned creating a Nephid with a mysterious power.

 

[I guess I should start with this story. Nephid is the masterpiece of the Creator, the High One with creative powers. It was created to correct the order of all transcendental beings.]

 

“Creator….”

 

Is that being one of the gods worshiped in religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam?

 

Or is it something I don’t know about?

 

[Because it was created for that purpose, Nephid even had the potential for a great Transcendentalist, the Power of God Slayer. Nephid was a being who would inevitably awaken the power of killing God when faced with a crisis. But Nephid had his own will and chose his own path, and in the end he became the Demon King.]

 

The view changed, and I saw a female demon in black who was leading the demons and destroying the world.

 

It was the Demon King Nephid.

 

[Because the potential of Nephid, who had a strong will, was overgrown, he unexpectedly became a threat to the creator. So the Creator decided to completely annihilate the Nephid who betrayed his will. So after he created a stage and a battlefield to trap and defeat the fourids, he lured them there.]

 

“Then the world in the game….”

 

[You can think of it as a kind of case to completely end Nephid. From a human point of view, the world has no intrinsic value, so it must look like a false world.]

 

Stella smiled.

 

[So, the opinions of the high-ranking people came together and a special property was given to that world.]

 

“What is it?”

 

[The point is that it allows someone like me to see the future.]

 

Was the ability to see the future limited to that world?

 

[Originally, the future is designed so that it cannot be observed except in special cases. It is the absolute effect of divine law. However, the world to subjugate Nephid was an exceptional case, so it was allowed to see the future.]

 

Like the law, there are principles and exceptions.

 

There was a rule like that among them too.

 

[This is why the strongest humans in that world, the original Kings, were able to foresee the future, albeit fragmentarily.]

 

“That’s why I was able to come up with this plan.”

 

The history of mankind.

 

Do Ozumado, Dorothy too.

 

Merchen Academy too.

 

Everything was part of the plan to defeat Nephid.

 

The values I valued were nothing to the gods.

 

The world I belong to is a chess board.

 

Everything on the chessboard was just game pieces.

 

[That’s right. And as a fairy, I was chosen by the Creator and given a mission. Kill Nephid. Because Nephid can devour everything. As she devours her gods, her powers will grow beyond her unreasonable strength.]

 

To put it vulgarly, it means to get rid of the gaps made by the Creator.

 

Perhaps the creator didn’t mean to do this.

 

[The only way to defeat the current evil god, Nephid, is for Ian Fairy Tail to cut it down with a spear loaded with divine power. But how easy would that be? It was difficult. So I made a plan.]

 

“Part of that plan was to develop , Right?”

 

[That’s correct.]

 

Stella smiled and lifted his arms out to his sides.

 

From noble mtl dot com

 

[Games are really good. It provides pleasure to the human beings who play it, imprints the content of the game, allows them to intuitively learn the flow of the story, and thoroughly practices how to fight against the bosses. Even voluntarily.]

 

Stella drew a heart shape with her thin fingers.

 

[If you want, you can even enjoy the heroine content that indirectly makes you feel the feelings of love. , A game that is difficult for humans to refuse, was the best method.]

 

Stella put his hands behind his back and smiled grotesquely.

 

[So, wouldn’t it be nice if the player’s soul was transported to the world of the game? There is also a status window, it is a world he already knows, and he even grasps the future. Rather than falling into a panic, you could have gained the courage to overcome the situation, right?]

 

That’s why the game.

 

That’s why .

 

[However, the heroine wasn’t just included as an entertainment element. Luce Eltania, Kaya Astreão, Ciel Carnedas…. They are the ones who, according to my plan, deserve special attention. That’s why I put it as heroine content and warned the player.]

 

Lucce is something to watch out for at the cage ending.

 

Kaya is a vessel that can meet the ending of the demon king and can become the power of evil spirits.

 

Ciel plays a key role in delivering the Spear Sword to Ian.

 

I had a small question, ‘What rules did you put in the heroine in the game?’. It was chosen for that reason.

 

“What about Amy Holloway?”

 

“I just included it because she was originally destined to be connected to Ian Fairytail.”

 

“Yes…. Understood.”

 

In a voice mixed with a sigh, he answered.

 

“Because in a world where Nephid exists, it is impossible to intervene freely due to the power of killing, so I chose a game piece to use to defeat Nephid in another world where civilization is developed and the most efficient method can be adopted…. Right?”

 

[‘Use and eat’…. The expression is a bit extreme, but it is true. The one who was chosen like that was you, Han Seong-ho, who lived in the Earth, Korea.]

 

Stella lightly clapped her hands once.

 

[In other words, the lie that Veronica Aslius tried to shake off is this. When she heard the truth from Ozma that the world was only a stage for defeating evil spirits, she thought the world she lived in was a worthless, false world.]

 

Stella continued.

 

[The plan to defeat the evil spirit was considered a value to be truly pursued by Veronica. He must have thought that the job of the gatekeeper of the Ice Lake was also worthwhile because he had escaped that false world. Think about it, Mr. Han Seong-ho. Everyone in Dupendorf tells the story that mankind is just a piece of a game set up to defeat evil spirits… How could she, being only human, handle it?]

 

“… ….”

 

[You must have felt a terrible loneliness.]

 

I remembered the chant of [Inferno on Ice] That Veronica created.

 

There were many people around her. There must have been many people who gave her affection and praised her.

 

Didn’t the Ice and Snow Dragon – Hild love her very much?

 

But strangely, Veronica felt lonely. She now realizes the answer.

 

‘Hasn’t there been any meaning in my life….’

 

Neither the people around nor the world in which I set my feet were meaningless.

 

Everything that everyone has regarded as precious is in vain.

 

A world of lies. All that remains is solitude.

 

So this world is full of solitude.

 

‘This is hell….’
