When I stretched my hand into the air while imagining a magic stone, it felt like my hand was being sucked into sothing, as if I had put it into a pocket. Inside, I felt sothing.
When I pulled my hand out with it, there was a magic stone in my hand.
"How fascinating. So that's how it works."
"Kyuung!"
I handed it to Yong-yong, who was saying to hurry up and give it to him as he had starved for a month, and he swallowed it in one bite.
Yong-yong was staring at intently.
He wanted more.
"Just wait a mont."
It's still awkward, so it takes a bit of ti.
Our Yong-yong was eating everything I took out.
It's a strange sensation.
Just by putting my hand into the space, an image of what's inside appears in my mind.
While Yong-yong, who had eaten his fill of magic stones and had a full belly, was cuddling up to and acting cute, Rea unni approached.
With a weapon she had taken out of her subspace, just like .
"To be able to use ga abilities in reality..."
Rea unni, who had been muttering blankly, ca to her senses and said she would contact the guild mbers and told to stay at ho, then rushed out, leaving just the two of us.
But I wonder if the others are doing well.
"Is everyone doing well?"
"Kyuung."
Our Yong-yong tells not to worry, saying that the Silver Fox Clan is managing things so there aren't any big problems.
More than that, he says he's curious about this world and asks to guide him.
"This is your first ti in our world? Then shall we go sightseeing?"
"Kyuuung!"
Rea unni said it was dangerous and told not to go out, but our Yong-yong is by my side.
Well, what could possibly happen?
As we went outside and were walking around showing him our world, it was noisy.
What's going on?
Looking around, there were people running and jumping on rooftops, and people wearing dazzling armor.
All sorts of people were acting crazy.
They were making a fuss, shouting strange things, seemingly enjoying themselves.
"Isn't that inconsiderate to others? Yong-yong."
"Kyuung."
With those words, all the people causing the commotion collapsed on the spot.
Police officers who had been dispatched after receiving reports were escorting the collapsed people.
It should be fine, right?
More importantly, our Yong-yong was looking around curiously, and it was cute.
There were tall buildings in the Arcana continent too, but they're no comparison to our country.
As I was muttering while looking up at the buildings soaring high into the sky.
"Kyuung."
"Huh? The gods will be angry?"
He explains that the reason they don't build buildings that tall in the Arcana continent is because it's seen as challenging the gods, and the gods won't leave it be. Are there really gods?
Why have I never seen them?
As I was showing him around various new things, a commotion broke out here too.
There were people who couldn't control their powers and were trying to show off, so the mont I spoke to Yong-yong.
The people collapsed on the spot.
Really. Even if they suddenly gained powers, isn't it inconsiderate to act like that?
Then a ringing sound.
It's Rea unni.
"Hello."
"Yuna!? Where are you!? It's dangerous outside right now, so hurry ho!"
"I was showing Yong-yong around our world. I'll co back now."
Anyway, our Rea unni worries too much.
On one hand, I'm grateful.
Unni who takes care of like family when I have no family.
As I returned ho with light steps, all the guild mbers were gathered.
Everyone looked just like they did in Arcana Online.
"Sasha unni, you've grown ears on your head?"
"That's right! How can I go outside like this!? People think I'm cosplaying!"
As I stroked Sasha unni's head while she was complaining, I naturally touched her ears and they were quite soft.
I could touch them all day if she let .
"Don't touch."
"Just a little bit."
As Sasha unni and I were playing around, Rea unni clapped her hands.
"Stop playing around and let's prepare for what's to co."
"What preparations?"
With those words, Richard grandfather, the oldest mber of our guild and an elderly knight, spoke.
"Let's move to my mansion. It's prepared with bomb shelter facilities to protect against nuclear attacks, so it will be safe."
"There's such a place in Korea!? Why didn't I know about this!?"
"It would be aningless if civilians knew about it."
He explains that it was built in a place no one knows about because it would beco the first target of looting if an apocalypse ca.
No, more than that, hasn't this gotten too big?
Following Richard grandfather, we each packed necessary luggage and agreed to et at a designated place.
I also ca ho after a long ti to pack my things, but all I had to pack was food and family photos.
"Kyuung."
"Yes, that's right. It's my family. They're not here now."
"Kyuuung."
I stroked Yong-yong who was comforting and carefully stored it in my subspace.
Shall we move now?

A change occurred to all players worldwide who had played Arcana Online.
[Synchronization complete.]
It ant they could use the abilities they used in Arcana Online as they were.
This caused great confusion internationally.
The leaders of each country gathered to sort out the chaotic situation and ca up with a solution.
There were over tens of billions of players who played Arcana Online worldwide.
It's difficult to manage tens of billions of people, but not impossible.
Each country started docunting lists by implenting a 'Traveler Registration System', calling people who could use Arcana Online's powers 'travelers'.
There's no way such great power would suddenly appear for no reason.
Surely an unknown threat that we don't know about is approaching.
That's why each country started inciting people.
It's human nature to unite in tis of crisis.
Especially the travelers who gained powers beca more sensitive than ordinary people.
As new organizations were being created in each country and etings were being held, breaking news ca in.
According to the testimonies of nurous users who played Arcana Online, just as the unknown continent known as the Arcana continent appeared, sothing huge appeared in the air over the Pacific Ocean.
A continent as large as the Arcana continent was floating in the air.
Like a floating island.
Troops were deployed to investigate, but like the Arcana continent, it was protected by a barrier.
"What on earth is that now."

I never thought Arcana Online would shut down its servers overnight.
It had been a year since I started working in the celestial realm departnt.
The reason I logged into the ga every day after work despite the grueling work was just one.
Financial compensation.
The gold coins I received monthly were three tis my salary, so at first it felt more like working a side job than playing a ga, but just as I was about to quit my company job and make Arcana Online my main job after nearly a year, it disappeared overnight.
Then what about my life...?
I had imdiately cashed out the gold coins I received monthly, so there's no big problem right now, but the other problem is that I quit my company job in a spectacular way.
I threw my resignation letter in the face of the departnt head who always sexually harassed and quit, but the industry is small so I can't go back there.
Now the only path left is for the numbers floating in the sky to be related to Arcana Online.
Or for the Earth to be destroyed.
So for a month, I spent my days eating, watching YouTube, or reading comics every day. Forgetting the fact that my brain was being damaged by dopamine addiction.
As ti passed like that, I despaired while watching the news flowing on TV.
Only the Arcana continent had appeared.
The celestial realm didn't show even a glimpse.
Overwheld by despair, I've been living like a shut-in, whether I synchronize or not.
Today too, I woke up, ordered delivery food, and fell asleep while watching YouTube. In my dream, I heard soone calling .
"Wake up. It's ti to go to work."
As I opened my eyes with a start at the voice that was too clear to be a dream.
My senior angels from the celestial realm departnt were looking at with bright smiles.
"Se-senior angels...?"
"We didn't expect our youngest to be absent without leave for over a month."
Hearing those words, tears flowed from my eyes.
My seniors were flustered by my appearance and asked if I was okay.
"Can I, can I really go to work?"
Hearing my words, they froze for a mont and then put their hands on my forehead.
I felt a soft touch as they muttered, "She doesn't seem to have a fever," and hugged .
"I want to go to work right away!"
But my seniors were looking at with pitying eyes.
"Did we treat her too harshly?"
"I know. Our youngest has gone crazy..."
