Clang!
The crown prince quickly drew his sword and blocked the sharp blade.
"No more!"
Aura flowed through the crown prince’s body.
"I won’t lose!"
The abilities of [Knight Ren], fully developed, ignited.
"Waah, my prince!"
Behind Versia’s surprised voice, the boss battle began.
Whoooosh
The jelly monster rapidly grew in size.
It was grotesque and hideous, filling more than half of the rooftop space.
LV 103 Abyss Assassin
The over-hundred level, surpassing the maximum limit for player characters, which is 99.
But the crown prince wasn’t intimidated.
"Haah!"
He leaped, unleashing the abilities of all the characters he had developed so far.
Whoooosh
The jelly monster unleashed countless jelly attacks, but the crown prince cut through so, dodged others, and struck the monster’s core.
Whoooosh!
As the jelly’s remaining health decreased, the monster’s patterns grew increasingly dangerous, but there was no problem.
He was displaying concentration that could even surpass what he had shown during the previous throne succession competition.
Crash!
The crown prince’s solidified sword cut through the jelly’s core, bringing its health bar to zero.
Whoooosh!
Like a cutscene, the jelly’s body shattered into pieces.
"...Did I defeat it?"
The Abyss monster, clearly dead from any angle.
The crown prince breathed a sigh of relief.
This ti, he had protected it.
He hadn’t lost.
Whoooosh
What he thought was a dead jelly rapidly condensed.
It was reborn with a completely different color and form.
The jelly launched a threatening attack at the crown prince.
The world slowed down in an instant.
"Researcher! It’s dangerous!"
Versia rushed forward to block the attack.
No.
Not that.
Crack!
"No! Not that!"
Clang!
As if soone were controlling his body, the crown prince moved swiftly.
His sword blocked the jelly’s blade aid at Versia’s chest.
"Ki-kkh! Waah, my prince?"
The crown prince, with one arm, held Versia tightly and positioned himself between her and the jelly’s blade.
"Haah!"
With a swing of his sword, the sword’s energy split the jelly in half.
"Are you okay?"
"...Yes."
Versia’s face was now red.
"It’s dangerous to jump in like that."
"...Because you were in danger, my prince."
"More importantly, what did you just call ?"
"My prince?"
"No, before that."
"...Researcher? Wait, why did I just call you researcher...?"
Researcher.
The title she used to call the crown prince in her previous life.
Since the crown prince had decided not to tell her about her past life, this was a word she shouldn’t know.
Does that an...
‘She’s recalling it?’
Her past life’s mories might be resurfacing.
A bittersweet joy filled the crown prince as his heart beca complicated.
Whoooosh
The shattered jelly began to reassemble.
"This thing... doesn’t die?"
No matter how much he cut it, it regenerated.
How is he supposed to deal with this?
Whoooosh!
Seeing the jelly’s health bar completely restored as it scread, the crown prince despaired.
"Prince."
At that mont, he felt the warm, soft sensation in his hand.
Versia was holding the crown prince’s hand.
"I think I can do it."
"...You can?"
In that instant, strength flowed through the hand she held.
"This...?"
"Is this... the result of love?"
She had lost her previous strength and mories when she reincarnated, but now, eting the crown prince again, she regained her heroic powers.
Love had awakened the dormant power within her.
‘With this power, I can do it.’
The crown prince grabbed his sword again and charged toward the jelly.
With the strength Versia had given him, he felt invincible.
Our path ahead can’t be stopped by anything.
I watched the players' reactions to the story.
When is Versia coming out?!
Let’s analyze Versia’s abilities!
She’s my wife, isn’t she cute?
Fortunately, it seems like the story was well-received.
The third act's story began, and players t the reincarnated Muria-13-07.
Even though she had reincarnated, her face remained the sa, so the players imdiately recognized her.
By the way, the reincarnated na of her, Versia, was the na the Goddess of Wisdom had used before she beca an experintal subject in her human life.
Due to the flow of the story, after enjoying a date with her, the players arrived at her hideout, the final location.
Just like the last scene in Act 2, when she looked back against the beautiful night view, an Abyss creature suddenly appeared and ambushed her.
This was ant to intentionally trigger PTSD in players, causing her previous tragic end to overlap with this one.
Simultaneously, ti slowed down.
As the world slowed, the player lunged forward, blocking the Abyss’s attack.
Ching!
Thus, the boss battle began.
Boss [Abyss Assassin]
The last Abyss Assassin was created by inserting that disgusting creature, but this ti, it’s different.
This boss doesn’t have the research director jelly inside it.
The punishnt that should have been inflicted upon that monster was to lose its body and live helplessly trapped in the jelly form, but now they’ve given it a physical form.
Such a thing should never have happened.
This jelly boss is just a ans of providing compensation to that monster.
Thus, the jelly boss’s pattern is simple.
Since there were no real references, the health pool is just unnecessarily large, and it was made with a simple pattern.
However, one addition was made: infinite regeneration ability.
Considering that the actual research director was notoriously tough, this could be considered reasonable historical accuracy.
Anyway, if the player defeats the boss once, a cutscene plays.
The player sees the world moving in slow motion.
In that mont, Versia blocks the attacks aid at the player.
It seems like she’s about to die again.
The player’s body moves on its own according to preset conditions, blocking the attack.
At the sa ti, Versia awakens so of her past life’s powers.
She removes all of the enemy’s buffs and grants huge buffs to her allies, awakening her supportive abilities.
"I think I can do it."
"The result of love... perhaps."
With the description of her possibly recovering her past life’s mories, the players enter the second phase of the boss battle. (This was fild by and her due to the strong input of the Goddess of Wisdom.)
With the help of Muria-13-07, the final boss battle becos more thrilling and easier to progress through.
Whoooosh!
Once the boss is defeated, the Abyss Assassin disintegrates, leaving behind a small jelly.
Item [Abyss Jelly]
Part of the divinity left behind when the Abyss creature perished. All the Abyss's evil is purified, and it can be freely used.
This is a special item added in the last patch for the housing system.
Unlike other furniture items, this one takes on any shape the player imagines through the power of dreams.
It is, after all, a personality jelly.
Countless pieces of jelly make up the research director.
Now, he’s beco the player’s furniture, transforming into many different shapes.
Well, that’s what he wanted, wasn’t it?
He wanted to be an all-powerful being, but now, he’s beco a unique being that no one else could ever dream of.
One of the dream spaces that make up the Akashic Archive.
Beep
A player logged in, and the housing space prepared just for them lit up.
"I’m so tired today."
The player, in the avatar of a normal female assistant, was actually a highly obese human male inside.
"Did our Dallang-chan do well?"
Ignoring everything else, he headed straight for the bed at the center of the housing space.
On the bed was the jelly he had placed there just the day before.
But it wasn’t just any ordinary jelly—it had taken on the shape of a curvaceous woman.
The jelly was now shaped like Dallang Versia, based on the player’s desires.
Flinch!
As his hand touched it, the jelly squird.
"...Hmm? Did our Dallang-chan feel that from my touch?"
No, you bastard!
The fragnted soul of the research director trapped inside the jelly cried out.
Take your filthy hands off!
"Hehe… our Dallang-chan..."
But the player, hearing none of it, rubbed his face against the jelly.
The female assistant character had been created to appeal to the players.
Yet, the research director could only feel disgust.
It sent chills down his spine to know that the insignificant being he had never even treated as a person was now freely toying with him.
"Hehe..."
Once a being with the power of wisdom, he could now see through the dream avatar’s form.
The dirty, unshaved middle-aged man with greasy skin, looking like the old research director from his previous life, was now in a form that would have been discarded as a re experint subject.
The player began licking the jelly.
As he overlapped with the original form inside, the research director stopped thinking.
