Private Awakened During The War

“N-no!! Huff!”

I was awake.

I quickly got up and looked around.

“Hey, this is.... ”

Apparently the last memory was suppressed by the Reflexa guy. I wonder what happened.

I looked around and saw that this was the place I had visited once before.

It's where I met Pwarrin and Takuron when I reached Manfrep.

“Hah... So Pwarrin did it? ”

I breathed a sigh of relief without even knowing it.

I don't know how things went while I was out of my mind, but if Pwarrin had stepped out, I would have avoided the worst.

But to realize that I was mistaken.

Idiot. You ruined everything.

It took less than a second.

You quickly turn your head to the angry voice of Pwarrin.

“F, Pwarrin? ”

You and I were playing with Reflexa.

“What the…. ”

He knew you were trying to complete the Divine. And in the end, you failed to complete the sacred by his interference.

“… How? So he meant it? ”

Even I wouldn't feel so divine if I wasn't a player with a huge amount of pieces. But how did the unholy one know that?

I should have known what he was up to... If I had known this was going to happen, I should have collected compassion and strength...

“What are you talking about? Talk to understand... Cough! ”

Suddenly, my body was lifted up into the air by the intense pressure I felt on my neck.

I tried to release the rushing energy of strangulation with both hands, but my fingertips only touched the void, and I felt the pressure constantly.

Idiot. Don't you know that yet? Everything was his trick. Not just you and me, but Deacente, Viyant, and Luine.

“Cough...! ”

The people of Unicia you've been trying so hard to save are walking the path of destruction. At this rate, they'll all be dead soon enough.

“Th-that's... ugh! What are you talking about?”

I was prepared to break my neck in a sound I couldn't understand, then I opened my mouth forcefully and asked.

Tsk. You poor thing, too.

After watching me struggle in the air for a moment, Pwarrin shakes his hand, the pressure on my neck disappears and I can barely get down to the ground.

“Ugh! Khh... What did you just say?! Humans are doomed...!” Literally. Half the continent was burned to the ground by the Arventhio's runaways. At least it was almost consumed... Otherwise the whole continent would be gone.

“The continent of Unicia…. ”

I really thought I woke up with my eyes closed for a moment.

It's gonna be okay so far. So you're relieved to be back on your feet.

But the truth I heard through Pwarrin was cruel and cold.

“… what did you do? ”

Even an unstable divinity would have made a difference if she had left.

If she had helped Isabelle a long time ago, the results would have changed.

On his knees, he grumbles and stares at her dazed.

Hmph. I'm not a saint of compassion. If I use my powers unstable, my very existence will vanish. Why should I?

“Aren't you the god of Unicia? If it's God..."

God damn it.

Couldn't we have sacrificed for so many lives once?

How dare you...!!

Pwarrin, stop it.

Once again, Pwarrin reaches out his hand and stops at the voice of Takuron coming from behind me.

Staring at her dazed, she turns away, evaporating, hoping to kill me for a moment.

“ …. ”

Kaiyan, even if she did, it wouldn't have changed that much. So don't blame her too much.

“How do you know that? How can you do that without even trying...! ”

A moment when I'm about to burst into tears with anger that never turns off.

Look at this.

“This... ”

The one Takuron gave me was a blue orb.

The orb flashes and melts away as he reaches out his hand.

It's a record of what happened while you were asleep. It's better to see it in person than to explain it in words. Look, and judge.

And at the same time, I lost consciousness again.

* * *

I woke up as soon as I could.

I looked around calmly, knowing it was Takuron.

“… Mechron? And that's me. ”

It was a pretty dark area around here. And there were thousands of mechrons and I who were lightly illuminated in that space.

I remembered for a moment that it seemed like I had just arrived at the underground space.

“… Reflexa appeared momentarily, if you recall. ”

Let's wait for a moment, observing the past and Rica.

“Klael, just in case, you found this place. How the hell did you find it? Even Lord Garon couldn't have been easy to find. ”

A darkness rises from the ground, and Reflexa appears.

I didn't know it at the time, but he was smiling as if he was satisfied looking at me in the past. Just like everything is going according to its own plan.

But in the past, I was not even aware of it, but I was just being careless as if I was suspicious.

"Stupid guy... I should have left the old man alone to blow up the Macron." ’

I wonder how it felt when Garon looked at the records with me.

I can't believe it's so hard to face the fact that you can't change it.

I feel like I'm going to go crazy without hurrying back to my old life and insulting me.

“Don't worry. I have no intention of killing you. Yeah, that should do it. Will you rest until the Great War is over? Klael.”

“Oh, no... ”

In the end, I closed my eyes in the past, not being able to resist Reflexa's touch as planned again.

Reflexa reaches out, staring at me helplessly on the floor for a moment.

“Cook, I'll wake you up when you need me. ”

According to his handgestures, a black shadow burst from the floor and ate away at me.

Soon after the shadow disappeared, my body that was there disappeared along with me. Leaving only Rica, who was right next door.

[Kaiyan!!]

Liekah cries out in close succession, watching me disappear. But as if reflexa, who couldn't hear it, was nothing.

“Hmm? That's the cat Kaiyan was carrying. Well, I'll be gone with the blast if I don't. ”

[You bastard...!!]

He glances at the Mechron just before the explosion and disappears, hiding in the shadows again.

Lyca, who was left alone in that space, shed tears and stared at the void in which I had disappeared.

[Kaiyan...]

“… run away. Run! Go!! ”

I knew I couldn't hear you, but I shouted for help.

Please get out of here. Please, just use everything you can use to survive.

You reach out your hand, trembling with anxiety, towards Lika.

“Come on... please. ”

Glug.

However, my body became blurry and disappeared just before my hand reached Rika.

After a while, I came back to my senses in the sky, which was very high.

The blue sky was so familiar to me that I used to fly with Rika on the back of the wind.

“Takuron!! If you can hear me, tell me where she is! Takuron!!"

I called for Takuron, whose throat was full of wool.

He was no longer willing to look at the records without checking on Rieka's life.

Glug.

Is the cat just a player's helper that important?

He appeared before me. He was tilting his head as if he couldn't understand me.

“Rieka... Rieka's alive? ”

I asked with a trembling voice.

You close your ears, scared or half-deaf, in case anything awful comes out of his mouth. However, the premonition was always right.

I'm sure he's dead. I didn't check it out separately, but there was no way he could have survived the blast.

“… dying? Riekah...?"

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. That's not what you need to see. You think that's why you used my precious holiness?

“Liekah.... ”

It's all my fault she's dead.

It's my fault I didn't take advantage of the opportunity called Pwarrin.

I was half-conscious of the unbelievable reality. Staring at Takuron dazed, he forced me to move as if I didn't like it.

If I thought he was this pathetic, I'd have wasted my sacred life not believing in him in the first place. Look what happened while you were lying down.

* * *

Dozens of days have passed since I watched the record.

A lot has happened in the continent, and as Pwarrin said, the unthinkable have died in vain.

Looking at the record, I realized a lot of things.

How wicked and bad Reflexa is. And how Isabelle betrayed her faith.

Garon and Reflexa were in league before the Great War.

No, I thought it might have been a relationship a long time ago.

That's how they secretly tricked the gods into making plans, and accomplished them by beating everyone behind their backs in the last Great War.

Reflexa and Garon's plan was not just to win the Great War.

What they wanted was to eliminate a more fundamental problem.

That's what I thought when I learned the hidden truth.

Why should Harv Mime and UNESIA go to war? Why did Reflexa go to Harv Mime and steal the gods from a completely unrelated dimension?

It wasn't until decades later that I realized why.

“That means Harv Mime and the UNESIA dimension are finally one. ”

I asked Takuron, watching the world burn in the aftermath of the Great War.

Yes, two worlds can be a world if they coexist in one dimension. That's why this man, Reflexa, was able to bring the gods of Harvaim to Unicia.

Now I understand.

It didn't make sense from the beginning that Reflexa had done something that even a Takuron couldn't do. He knew that.

that the dimensions of Harv Mime and Unicia are the same.

“Wouldn't there be a war if... Reflexa hadn't done that?" ”

Hehe, don't you already know the answer? The Great War was foretold. It's a destiny that can't be avoided at any level.

“… because they created everything? ”

Yes, because they wanted to. The dimension in which I belong has also been at war, and as a result, everyone but me is gone.

Takuron taught me more than I thought.

even though the plan has already failed. Maybe it was a favor to me that he lost everything last time.

“Luetan and Mandarui.... ”

Every time their names were mentioned in the history of the Baryon War, I wondered.

I wonder who the authors are and why Garon and the Baryons are tightening their heads as priests.

But they were the gods that created all the dimensions, namely, UNESIA and HAVMIME.

They always created dimensions with the world like this, and the Great War always happens no matter what the process.

The results were slightly different from dimension to dimension.

Sometimes they were all destroyed, just like Takuron's, and sometimes they said there were dimensions where one side won victory and continued prosperity.

“Why... do they do that... Why should we wait for war?" ”

I haven't heard the reason yet.

No, I didn't ask. I was afraid that I might get more desperate words out of Takuron's mouth after I lost her.

But seeing the world going to ruin, I couldn't bear it any longer.
