[Aaron Side Story Episode 1]
1. Purity for the One and Only (1)
* * *
“…?”
Aaron Delkard looked around.
The place where he was standing was a circular library.
A silver chandelier shining from the ceiling.
A tall bookshelf that can only be organized by climbing up a ladder.
A low bookshelf under it. In addition, countless bookshelves, large and small, filled the round room tightly.
‘I… Since when?’
it’s a strange place
The light from the flickering candles dimly illuminated the inside of the library.
“Are you okay, Aaron?”
Aaron looked to the side, startled.
A silver-haired woman wearing a long robe is smiling.
Her appearance was so mysterious that it did not feel real.
It feels like part of a dream.
Only Aaron knew the woman’s na.
Yunet Seed.
“Why are you blank? Please sit here.”
“Ah…yes.”
Aaron sat down at a table in the center of the library, as Yurnet guided him to.
“Why am I here?”
“Don’t you know? Because of my request.”
“Miss Yurnet’s… request?”
“is it so. Didn’t I ask Aaron to match my hobby?”
hobby.
Only then did Aaron’s mories gradually begin to return.
‘okay.’
While Aaron was resting in the fortress of Valhalla, Yurnet suddenly ca to his room.
I need you, but you won’t hang out with .
Urnet Sid, whom he usually knew, rarely expressed his views.
That’s why she asked for Aaron’s help.
Aaron, bewildered, accepted her request.
So, following Yunet’s guidance, he stood in front of a door in a certain hallway, and Aaron’s mory ended there.
“Aaron, is your life in Valhalla worthwhile?”
Squeak.
Yurnet said as she poured tea from unknown sources.
“Yes, it is fine.”
Valhalla.
It was a fortress built around the dinsion called Niflheim in the past.
The purpose of Valhalla is to prevent the planned destruction of a certain dinsion.
This fortress was maintained by a transcendent being nad ‘Loki’.
Aaron and Yournet were one of Valhalla’s key executives.
Each position was different, but the two had worked together before ‘he’ gained divine status.
Yurnet as a mage in Niflheim.
Aaron as a spearman in Taonier.
Now that many things are over, together in Valhalla.
“Eat.”
Aaron drank tea.
“….”
Usually Yurnet Sid was wearing a black uniform, but now he is wearing a plain white robe.
“Condition managent is necessary to preserve combat power in a long war.”
“Yes, it is.”
“What the master also emphasized. Do you agree?”
“…yes.”
The war continues.
Even now, so troops in Valhalla are fighting against the enemy on the front lines.
Aaron is just taking a break right now.
When it’s your turn, you have to step in.
War.
An eternal war with no end in sight.
In order not to lose oneself while fighting such a war, it is necessary to manage one’s physical condition.
The heroes of Valhalla must acquire a hobby, whether they like it or not.
This was also the Master’s order.
By the way, Aaron’s hobby is writing letters.
The target was his sister, Nina.
He wrote a letter every day, even though the letter never reached the person concerned.
“Is Miss Yurnet’s hobby of reading?”
“yes. I like books. To be precise, I like the stories of various humans… written in books.”
Yurnet smiled.
“That’s why I invited you to the library with the intention of having Aaron cooperate with my hobby.”
Aaron blinked.
“What help can I do? I’m not really interested in things like books…”
“The important thing is the story, not the book. A book is a vehicle for telling a story.”
“yes?”
“Why don’t you tell Aaron’s story?”
“You an my story? Even if you say that… I’m nothing special…”
“Aaron-nim is still humble.”
Yurnet continued.
“I wonder how you got that mysterious power called karma.”
“….”
“Can you tell if it’s okay? Of course it’s not free. If there’s a story you want to know, I’ll tell you what I know.”
“Even if you say so…”
Aaron bowed his head.
“I have no mory of that ti…”
“Oh no.”
“I’m really sorry.”
It’s not a lie.
The process of obtaining Aaron’s karma.
I could roughly guess it, but it was never complete enough to be told as a story.
What Yurnet wants must be the complete truth.
Aaron’s mory was only faint like fog.
“Hmm. rember okay. Maybe not. Your journey will be sothing others have never been through.”
“…sorry.”
“it’s okay. I was kind of expecting it. You must be prepared to bring Aaron’s hidden mories.”
pull
mories of that ti?
the years of eternity?
‘that.’
Can not be done.
“Oh, please don’t make a scary face. It’s not a direct pull. in an indirect way anyway. Aaron, will you trust ?”
“…”
“Please.”
Aaron gave up getting out of his chair.
“Thank you, Aaron. Then, while the preparations are over, shall we co up with stories to soothe Aaron’s boredom?”
Lulu.
Yurnet started waving her hands as she humd.
Then drip! The bookshelves located on the wall rotated arbitrarily.
“Is there a story you want?”
Aaron looked inside the library.
Everywhere you look, there are books and bookshelves.
Might be good to read sothing.
However, there are certain books that stand out among them.
Aaron’s gaze turned to the huge bookshelf in front of him.
Dozens of books were lined up there.
Those books, all of the sa color and shape, are probably an epic poem.
“As expected, you have a good eye.”
“Sohow it stood out.”
“Excuse , but please choose another book. The King’s story is still unfinished. I will tell you when his story is over soday.”
king.
After a while Aaron noticed who the word was referring to.
So, I just nodded my head.
“Now, how about this?”
Cook Cook.
Yurnet laughed and gestured.
Then, a black book flew from sowhere on the bookshelf and was sucked into her hand.
“It is the story of the forgotten gods.”
“A forgotten god?”
“These are the beings who ruled Mobius before Valhalla was created.”
Aaron noticed who Yurnet was talking about.
The gods who governed and managed Mobius before Valhalla.
They were also the ones who made a ga called Pick Up and made fun of the heroes.
‘Tel Ikar.’
The most representative of them is the twin goddesses.
The goddesses, each representing purity and rcy, drove Moebius into hell.
I didn’t know it when I was a forr hero, but now that I entered Valhalla, Aaron knew the truth about them.
‘It’s forgotten now.’
I’ve heard the reason.
It was subjugated by Loki, the king of Valhalla.
They were absorbed in every single being.
Now, no voice praising God can be heard from anywhere in the Mobius dinsion. The very existence of the gods is forgotten.
“Oh, you don’t look serious.”
“Because I think I’ve been tricked.”
“That sounds right.”
Tell and Ikar.
The promise of the goddess that she would restore the destroyed world if she climbed the tower was a lie.
The heroes and monsters of Pick Up beca toys of a higher dinsion and had to suffer endlessly.
But anyway, that’s a thing of the past.
Currently, only a few people rember the na.
Aaron wondered why the gods were being ntioned out of the blue.
“Especially, the representative goddess of innocence was annihilated by the Master in return for what she had done. It is entirely synthesized.”
“Then why are you suddenly talking about that?”
“Because I think it is necessary.”
I need?
“Right now, few people know of the existence of that goddess. But I hate that way. It’s okay if you just forget about it. I don’t condone that.”
The heat rose in Yurnet’s voice.
“If it is forgotten, you need to know. what was why did it happen Record it and use it as a lesson for future generations. This is called history.”
If forgotten, you should know.
Especially in that part, Yurnet’s voice rose.
“It’s not just the goddess. The sa goes for anyone else. Because I don’t want to miss it.”
Having said that, Yurnet looked at Aaron.
As if there was soone behind his back staring at him.
But there are only two of them here. Aaron didn’t know who Yurnet was referring to.
“Whoops. You can look forward to it. How the ga called Pick Up was created in the first place and what was its purpose. What happened to the gods a long ti ago. Aren’t you interested?”
be interesting
It would be a lie if you said you weren’t curious.
“You don’t know how many tis I begged the Master to get that mory. This is a very hard-earned book.”
Aaron looked at the black book on the table.
It is said that this book contains the mories of the forgotten gods.
“Are you okay, Aaron?”
“it’s okay.”
Aaron answered.
Yurnet made a flower color.
A ga called Pick Up.
What was there in that first period?
I was just wondering
“Then let’s begin.”
Yurnet opened the first chapter of the book.
Aaron’s vision was colored with light.
It was the beginning of the story.
* * *
“How is developnt going?”
office of any company.
The office was busy with the sound of the CPU fan running, typing, and mouse moving.
A man and a woman were having a conversation there.
“Oh, I think we can et the schedule.”
“is it so? What a relief! It was still close.”
The girl was overjoyed at soone’s answer.
“Now, are you all tired from working late into the night? I’ll pass you one cup at a ti!”
“No, not like this…!”
“Ayy, I’m just doing it. I’ll do chores too! Leave the office cleaning to us! Fighting everyone!”
The coffees on the tray the girl was holding were placed one by one at each seat.
daughter.
Ice crunched inside the clear plastic container of coffee.
“After sleeping, we will give you a big bonus.”
“thank you!”
“Oh, how about a dinner after work today? I’ll do the paynt. Any nu, just tell !”
“Is it possible to have a large belly of tuna?”
“of course!”
“What about the rib eye?”
“of course!”
The atmosphere in the office heated up when he said he would do anything.
They burned their passion for work and began to concentrate on their respective tasks.
Dinner tonight.
The employees’ mouths were watering at the expensive nus they couldn’t eat.
“Then I will go! Everyone, please do your best!”
“yes!”
The morale of the developnt team was boosted at once by cheering.
As always.
Despite her high rank as CEO of the company, she treats employees without discrimination and works hard for them.
“Kya, ribeye for a dinner party?”
“Isn’t it a food that’s a ss because you can’t even find it on Earth?”
“What is tuna belly fat again?”
“Have you heard of sashimi?”
When the CEO left the office, each of them giggled.
The company’s na is Mobius.
It was a special purpose company created for the developnt of a certain ga.
Due to its special purpose, the headquarters of this company was not located in the earth.
“I hear it’s the prettiest food on Earth?”
“episode? Eating fish flesh raw?”
“Hey, it’s popular in that district.”
They wear suits and wear employee IDs around their necks, but they are not native to Earth.
He wasn’t even human.
Its identity is a spirit.
It was a race born for smooth dinsional managent of the gods.
The spirits here have human bodies, but the core of their existence is the spirit Buddha dwelling sowhere in their bodies.
The body is just a dium, but even if it is lost, it can wander as a translucent soul or dwell in other spare bodies.
These spirits imitate humans by being possessed by soulless bodies.
“Ikar cares about us like that. Whew. I don’t know what he’s doing.”
“I always crave.”
“If I were only half like you, I wouldn’t have a wish.”
bang!
The office door slamd open.
The staff who were talking behind their backs all beca quiet.
“…”
It was a girl who ca in this ti.
It looks almost similar to the woman who encouraged the employees earlier.
The difference is the sharp eyes and cold expression on the face.
“What you looking at? Don’t you close your eyes?”
The girl’s eyes hardened.
The spirit temples lowered their eyes in unison.
“What? iced coffee? The release is right around the corner, but the coffee goes over, right?”
The girl gulped down soone’s coffee on the table.
“So, how is the developnt progress?”
“Fortunately, the schedule can be t!”
The sa person as before gave the sa answer as .
The girl’s eyebrows were crooked.
“whatever.”
“yes?”
“The schedule is definitely right. That’s the problem. Is the ga fun or not?”
“That’s right.”
“Are you sure? When this ga cos out, it explodes unconditionally. You can sweep money.”
“The ga has to co out…”
“Why is a bastard who doesn’t know that the team leader!”
bang!
The girl hit the table.
