The idea of transforming a parallel world into a “ga” was both bold and ambitious.
Nate drew his inspiration from certain “Fourth Calamity” novels he had read in his previous life, where the protagonists could summon players or use systems to disguise another world as a ga.
What Nate planned was similar: he intended to clear out the 10,000 dragons ravaging Future Lucy’s world.
More precisely, the goal was to use Dragon Taming Magic to control those dragons.
As for the na of the ga? Let’s call it [Monster Hunter]—after all, it was a ga about hunting dragons.
No, on second thought, [Dragon Hunter] might be a better fit.
With the na settled, Nate began considering how to implent his idea.
…
Key Components of the Ga:
1. Ga Access
This wasn’t difficult. Using True Magic: Flying Thunder God, teleporting players to the parallel world would be simple—it would only cost so magical energy. And where would that energy co from? The players themselves.
…
2. Ga Map
A ga needs a map. Fortunately, Nate possessed three magic books on Satellite Magic. With these, he could construct a proper in-ga map.
…
3. Equipnt System
For a large-scale MMORPG, equipnt was indispensable. It would be a key gaplay elent and a primary motivation for players to hunt dragons.
Players could craft stronger weapons and armor from the dragons they defeated. For example, slaying a fire dragon might yield materials for fire-resistant armor, similar to Erza’s Fla Empress Armor.
…
4. Core Systems
The ga would also require systems for:
Player Resurrection
Guiding NPCs
Inventory Space
Character Customization (Avatar Creation)
…
The complexity began to weigh on Nate. Designing such a ga was far more challenging than either [Magic Arena] or [Celestial Pokémon].
“Do I really need to make it this complicated?” Nate mused.
After all, it was a parallel world. Even if the 10,000 dragons destroyed that world, survivors would remain. It wouldn’t take players long to realize that this wasn’t just a simple ga once they interacted with those survivors.
“Why complicate things? Keep it simple.”
Instead, Nate decided to be upfront with the players about the setting:
This was a parallel world where 10,000 dragons from 400 years ago had descended upon modern tis, creating an apocalyptic crisis that wiped out ninety percent of humanity.
“You are the chosen ones, the fated heroes. Your mission: save the world.”
“Go forth. Hunt dragons. Leave none alive.”
Of course, when he said “hunt,” he actually ant using Dragon Taming Magic to bring the dragons under his control. Every dragon “slain” by the players would beco one of Nate’s pets.
10,000 dragons! Just imagining controlling such a massive dragon army was exhilarating.
A perfect win-win scenario:
The players would enjoy the ga,
And Nate would get his dragons.
Still, this new ga idea did not require imdiate action.
…
Back to the Present:
The final round of the [Celestial Pokémon Championship] had concluded.
The winner of the inaugural tournant was Goddess of the Chill Moon, Seilah.
In the center of the arena, a long staircase led up to the dueling platform.
The host, Pumpkin, cheerfully hopped up the steps until he stood in front of Seilah.
“Welco back, dear audience! I’m your host for the championship, Pumpkin!
First of all, congratulations to you, Seilah-san, on becoming the champion of this tournant!”
Seilah, who had remained composed throughout the competition, finally allowed herself a genuine smile.
“Thank you. I’m so happy to be the champion.”
For the first ti, she admitted to herself that not all humans were bad. At least this tournant had brought her genuine joy.
“This is the bond between you and your Pokémon!” Pumpkin declared dramatically.
“And now, let’s invite the organizers to present you with the championship trophy and dals!”
Under the watchful eyes of thousands, Nate and Princess Hisui took the stage together.
Nate represented the ga developers, while Princess Hisui stood as a representative of the royal family.
The princess received six solid gold dals from Pumpkin and approached Seilah with a bright smile.
“Seilah-san, congratulations!
Please release the six Pokémon you used in the final match. On behalf of the tournant, I will bestow upon them the Hall of Fa dals.”
Seilah happily summoned her six Pokémon: Alakazam, Marowak, Aerodactyl, Charizard, Gyarados, and Dragonite!
Princess Hisui carefully placed a pure gold Hall of Fa dal around each Pokémon’s neck, marking their ascension to Hall of Fa status. Their nas and accomplishnts would now be recorded in the tournant’s official history.
Seilah examined the dals closely, noting the fine engraving on each one:
…
[X785, First Pokémon Championship Tournant]
[Hall of Fa Star]
[Number: 001]
…
Each dal was identical, except for its unique serial number.
“Congratulations to you and your Pokémon~,” Princess Hisui said warmly.
After awarding the dals, Princess Hisui stepped back, allowing Nate to take the spotlight.
When Seilah saw Nate approach, she grew nervous. While others might not know her true identity, the Master of the Magic Net certainly did. If Nate decided to expose her as a demon here and now, it would ruin everything. She could self-destruct and resurrect using the Tartaros Core, but losing her championship title would be devastating.
Unable to hide her apprehension, the demon girl shot Nate a pleading glance.
Noticing this, Nate smirked. So this demon girl truly was a Pokémon enthusiast. She claid to find human stories boring, yet her actions spoke otherwise.
“I represent the ga developers in congratulating you on winning the tournant,” Nate said warmly.
He accepted the championship trophy from Pumpkin and handed it to Seilah.
“The trophy you now hold is a shining testant to your hard work and the realization of your dreams!”
“Thank you, Nate-san~,” Seilah replied, visibly relieved as she hugged the trophy.
At that mont, Nate’s voice echoed in her mind through ntal communication:
“So, are human stories still boring?”
Seilah blinked, then smiled faintly. “At least Pokémon is fun!”
Their private exchange went unnoticed by the crowd.
With a booming voice, Pumpkin addressed the audience:
“To all the spectators here and to those watching the live broadcast, I officially announce the conclusion of this year’s tournant. See you all next year!”
The Pokémon the began playing once again.
The audience rose to their feet, applauding and singing along to the music.
…
That Afternoon
Princess Hisui hosted a banquet at the royal palace to celebrate the successful conclusion of the tournant.
Nate and Lucy were among the invited guests, as were representatives from the various guilds that had contributed to the event.
The banquet took place in the grand ballroom of rcurius Palace, illuminated by dazzling chandeliers.
Amidst the clinking glasses and lively chatter, Nate took two glasses of wine from a passing maid’s tray. He offered one to Lucy, but noticed an unexpected guest standing nearby.
Or rather, an unexpected ghost.
“First Master?” Nate said in surprise.
“First Master?” Future Lucy echoed, puzzled.
The petite spirit, Mavis Vermillion, narrowed her eyes, first at Future Lucy, then at Nate. The two angelic tufts of hair on her head twitched slightly as she asked:
“Fourth Master, Lucy shouldn’t be able to see … Wait, why is there another Lucy?”
“She’s Future Lucy,” Nate explained quietly. “So, has the Fairy Sphere been lifted?”
Mavis nodded. “Everyone has woken up. I saw the tournant was over, so I decided to co and take a look.”
You’re just here for the food, aren’t you? Nate thought wryly. Glutton-chama!
Sensing his thoughts, Mavis pouted. “Fourth Master~ I feel like you’re thinking sothing rude about !”
“Oh, I was just admiring how adorable you are,” Nate replied with a smile, then began explaining Future Lucy’s situation.
