[Deus Ex Machina]

A character collection game made up of cross-platform mobile and PC platforms.

My favorite game in my life and the one I gave my all to.

It was a game made with such a common plot that the player becomes a warrior of a forgotten god as a ‘chosen one’ and fights against the forces of evil that are trying to destroy the world.

Nevertheless, the worldview of [Deus Ex Machina] Was very elaborately structured, and due to the attractive characters in the world, [Deus Ex Machina] Gained sensational popularity as soon as it was released.

I was also swept away by its popularity and gave it my all for years.

Since it was possible to collect characters and include them in the main character’s party, I spent all my money to select attractive characters and played the game with the characters I wanted.

The problem was that it was a game that required a lot of money to the extent that the ceiling to select one character exceeded 300,000 won.

But I believed this game would last forever, and I poured all my money into it because I loved it that much.

Though the ceiling of 300,000 won may seem low, the amount of money I spent was 10 million units because there were duplicate characters to make them stronger or exclusive weapons.

And I have thought that my choice was not wrong.

Until virtual reality games appeared.

A big tech company in the US announced a virtual reality game, and other big tech companies put out their own virtual reality technology one after another.

In the meantime, I, who believed that the metaverse fever was a lie and that virtual reality would take a long time to come true, was betrayed like that.

A simple and cheap virtual reality game that can be played with only one pair of glasses.

When virtual reality games with overwhelming performance and price that were incomparable to existing games appeared, existing mobile games and PC games were all ignored.

My [Deus Ex Machina], Which seemed to last forever, was the same.

This game, which once reached the world’s highest level with the number of active users, suddenly became a game with no influx, and all of the guild members who played the game with me left.

Actually, I couldn’t leave because the virtual reality game didn’t fit, so I stayed in this game. Well, even if the virtual reality game was right for me, I wouldn’t have left [Deus Ex Machina].

And finally came.

The day of [Deus Ex Machina]’S death sentence.

It was not a declaration of end of service for the game.

It wasn’t a small enough game to be like that already.

The announcement from the developer is a declaration of suspension of updates.

No more updates.

Thank you for loving [Deus Ex Machina].

…… The story update isn’t over yet.

The adventure of my main character and characters is not yet over, but the game is over.

My adventure so far…….

The developer said they would only end the update and keep the game as it is, but the end of the service would be imminent.

No one can play a game in a frozen world where updates have stopped and no ending.

And when that happens, my money, my passion, …… All my memories are going to fade away.

An adventure with my favorite characters….

I can’t.

As it is.

I can’t lose my life like this.

Frustrated, I suddenly opened my phone and connected to the [Deus Ex Machina] Community.

This game is a game that swept the world in its own way.

I’m sure there are still users who love this game like me.

Maybe they think like me and ask the game company to resume the update?

And let’s open the community window…….

A blank community screen with no one caught my eye.

The last article was written ten days ago.

And even that article has nothing to do with the content of the game.

Even the community was dead.

It’s been a while since I haven’t been on the [Deus Ex Machina] Community, but I can’t believe I’ve died like this before I knew it.

Apparently, when I logged in a long time ago, it was more active than any other game community….

Having lost even my last hope, I was sprawled out on the bed.

The game I gave my all to…….

Having lost my strength, I went to sleep dreaming of a better future, a future where [Deus Ex Machina] Would survive.

And when I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a completely unfamiliar, luxurious ceiling.

“Brother. This is a call from the head of the household.”

“My father? Okay. Wait for a sec.”

15 Years ago.

I woke up in the world of [Deus Ex Machina].

In the world I loved so much.

When I first opened my eyes in this world, I didn’t even think that I was in the world of [Deus Ex Machina].

However, I was able to be sure after meeting my family.

This is the world of [Deus Ex Machina]. It’s a world of memories that I loved so much.

To be possessed by a person in this world.

As a person from a world that has stopped, that I love.

Suddenly, I thought that this was an opportunity given to me by a divine being. I don’t know who you are, but you gave me this opportunity. Wouldn’t this be a dream?

To be able to enjoy an adventure together with the characters I love in this world!

I couldn’t be happier.

The problem is that I couldn’t do anything because I was possessed by a 4-year-old.

Still, I made up my mind not to be impatient.

Although I am an extra, I am a character in the game who is the same age as the main character.

There are still more than ten years left before the beginning of the game takes place.

It’s not too late to meet them after I grow up.

As I adjusted to this world and the person I possessed, 15 years passed and I was approaching adulthood.

If I become an adult now, I will be able to officially go to the academy.

And if you go to the academy, you can meet the main characters of [Deus Ex Machina] In real life!

“Father. This is Luke. I heard you called.”

“Come in.”

As I gently opened the door and entered the room, I saw a white-haired, masculine middle-aged man sitting at a desk handling paperwork.

“Sit down, Luke.”

The extra I possessed, Luke’s father.

Grand Duke of the North of the Empire, Leopard Persleyno.

An imperial sword that protects the north of the empire against the forces of chaos beyond the northern mountains.

Even at the time when the story update of [Deus Ex Machina] Was cut off, he is a man with such a strong power that he is almost in the line of the strongest in the world.

“Luke. That is why I called you today.”

My father opened his mouth as he put down his glasses as he processed the paperwork.

“Coming-of-age ceremony… Is it because?”

“Yes. Coming-of-age ceremony. There is that too. But what I called today is because of the academy.”

Academy.

The best higher education institution in the empire that all nobles of the empire go to.

Of course, some of the talented commoners are also allowed to enter, but it is generally a social arena designed for nobles.

From noble mtl dot com

It is also the place where the main events of [Deus Ex Machina] Took place and the characters were active.

“You know, but… The book you wrote is shaking the continent right now.”

“Ah…… That, right?”

A book I wrote.

Are you talking about that book?

It’s a book written while wanting to shake the continent….

I didn’t want this much.

I can’t believe that the book I wrote without much meaning would create a new religion and devour the continent.

“Fortunately, no one knows that you wrote the book yet, but the whole continent is moving to find you. Luke, it could be dangerous if you go to the academy and accidentally get caught. Religion is such a dangerous thing.”

It could definitely be dangerous.

Although the continent I am on is not swallowed up by monotheistic beliefs and subject to the Inquisition or blasphemy like the medieval Europe of the Earth, the leaders of the entire continent are searching the continent with their eyes open to find the author of the book I wrote. ‘Cause I heard you’re behind

“So, Luke. …… Would you mind staying at home instead of going to the academy?”

“… Yes? However, all imperial nobles are obliged to go to the academy…….”

“Of course there is such an obligation. But who is this father? Grand Duke of the North, Leoparanda. That guy, no this isn’t it. I have a strong friendship with His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, this father will speak well to His Majesty the Emperor. Then you won’t have to go to the academy either. How are you?”

My father, Leopard, has been friends with the current Emperor since childhood.

Even now, he maintains a friendly relationship with the emperor to the point of exchanging informal speeches in private.

If it was his request, it would be possible for me to avoid going to the academy.

“Sorry, Father.”

But even so, I will go to the academy.

“…… Huh?”

I waited 15 years.

The time I waited to meet the people I love.

I was finally able to meet them.

But, to not go to the academy at any risk.

It can’t be.
