Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

[Amkena Episode 5]

* * *

Knocked up.

Rumbling.

The vibration of the subway as it slid through the tunnel resounded softly.

[The station you will get off this time is … …. The door to get off is on the left.]

She woke up to the sound of the subway announcement.

I seem to have fallen asleep.

Could it be because of the late night shift?

rattle.

The left door closed and the subway stopped at the station and started moving.

Looking at the screen of my smartphone, it is already close to 1 am.

This line was the last train.

“ha.”

she sighed.

I’m tired.

Overtime work continues these days.

When was the last time you left work on time?

‘I want to quit.’

She shook her head.

you’re leaving That’s not to be said.

She needs money for her and her family.

In fact, a huge amount of wealth lies dormant in her hidden bank account.

But I decided not to use it.

It was the last bastion.

if you spend that money

If I used it… I had a hunch that the dream of the night might disappear in the foam.

yes it was a dream

Even if I tell you, no one will believe me.

Because it was in a game called ‘Pick Me Up!’ that is now forgotten.

“….”

She touched the statue hanging from the ring of her smartphone.

Several years have passed since the incident ended.

Actually, there was nothing special about it.

A man called himself a hero in the game and came to visit him. After talking for a while, he went back to his original place.

Now, meeting a certain man was left as a distant fantasy.

Know.

that it is over now.

In the first place, the characters in the game are coming. No matter who I tell, I’m going to a mental hospital.

I can’t even believe it at the time. In fact, I still sometimes think it might be a dream. And even if what happened at that time was true and true

…

It’s different from where you live.

there there

here it is

It is said that the fact that he came to see him at that time was a very difficult time.

It’s that they’re busy fighting a war.

The man was living an incredibly difficult life compared to his peaceful work life on Earth.

The paths of each other only draw parallel lines.

So it’s over now.

That meeting was the final miracle.

‘It’s okay though.’

At least

I can keep one memory of my own to take with me when I die.

My own story that I can’t tell anyone.

She smiled and removed her hand from the statue on her smartphone.

Memories are memories and reality is reality.

I have to go to bed early to go to work tomorrow.

[Around 4:00 PM today, an unidentified object exploded over Seoul. There was not a single eyewitness. According to experts, as a discarded satellite crashed in the atmosphere…]

She shifted her gaze.

The seat opposite her.

A boy was watching the news with the volume of his smartphone turned up to maximum.

He seemed more like a child than a boy.

[However, eyewitnesses refuted the expert’s claim, saying it was not a satellite. The following is a video taken by Mr. Lee himself. Let’s take a look together.]

It’s noisy.

Is it between elementary and middle school students?

The youthful boy was concentrating on the news while moving his feet alternately.

‘Is he from a foreign country?’

Dark dark blue hair.

It has a completely different impression from the Korean system.

Then it’s understandable that you don’t know subway etiquette.

It was dawn and there were no people, so if it was daytime, I would have heard a bowl of swearing.

‘Should I pay attention?’

The boy is watching the news openly.

You don’t have earphones?

I checked to see if there were any parents nearby, but she and the boy were the only ones in the compartment.

‘okay. I have to tell you quietly.’

It was the car she was trying to clear her throat after making up her mind.

“sister.”

“huh?”

“What do you think, sister? this news.”

Fluent Korean.

The boy smiled and held out the screen of his smartphone.

“…”

What is it?

The video is playing on the smartphone.

It was a video filmed by an eyewitness to an unidentified crash.

“Isn’t that too strange for a decommissioned satellite? Look, here’s an enlarged video.”

Perong!

Blue sky in the video.

Something explodes with a blue glow.

The unidentified aircraft that exploded eventually split into several fragments and scattered.

“What do you think of your sister? Is it also a UFO?”

The boy smiled innocently.

she forgot what to say

‘Why are you saying this all of a sudden?’

In the first place, the time now is 1:00 AM on weekdays.

It is also strange that a child is riding the last train of the subway.

There were only her and the boy in this space.

“sorry. I’m not sure.”

She replied in a trembling voice.

“really? Too bad.”

The boy started watching the news again.

Whoa.

She let out a sigh of relief.

rattle.

rattle.

The vibration continued again.

It must mean arriving at the next station soon.

That was the station she would get off at.

An announcement was made.

[~♪♬♩ ~♩♬♩~ ♬♬♩♩♪~]

The sound of the broadcast announcing that we have arrived at the station first.

She packed up and prepared to disembark.

[This station is none none. There is no door to get out of.]

“…?”

Carrying her, who was standing there blankly, the subway started again.

Eventually, she had no choice but to return to her original seat and sit down.

News streamed from the boy’s smartphone.

[Some eyewitnesses are making claims of UFOs. However, nothing was found at the expected crash site…]

She looked out the window of the subway.

I can’t see anything.

It’s not because it’s dark.

I knew the scenery of the subway at dawn.

No matter how underground, some lighting must be maintained.

But now it’s dark outside… it’s just that there’s nothing.

Before she knew it, the subway she rode

had rushed into this space.

“…”

She took a slow, deep breath.

Let’s stay calm.

They said that even if you were dragged into the tiger’s den, you could live if you stayed alert.

“sister. So what do you think of your sister? Do UFOs really exist?”

“who are you.”

“Answer my question first.”

The boy smiled.

gulp.

swallow saliva

‘Because let’s stay calm.’

Grab hold of reason that keeps trying to blur.

“So… the question is…”

“Look at this news. It’s interesting. An unidentified flying object crashed from the sky. They say it’s an abandoned satellite, but you should be able to trust it.”

“That… why are you asking me?”

“Your sister knows this well.”

“Sorry, but I don’t know. Please. Let me out.”

“You really don’t know?”

“I’m really sorry. I don’t know.”

“Is there a hint here?”

The boy held out his smartphone.

I have no choice but to watch it even if I don’t like it.

[If you zoom in on the video here, you can see a faint pattern drawn in the exploded debris. Some eyewitness said that this pattern is evidence of a UFO…]

It’s not regular news.

A broadcast that is closer to chirashi than news.

It was a third-rate cable channel that broadcast randomly, regardless of authenticity, if it was something that would attract viewers’ attention. The level will be closer to Lecca Mutube than broadcasting.

It’s good that there was an explosion over Seoul.

But from there, it suddenly drifts into a UFO conspiracy theory.

It was arousing interest in viewers based on the video of a witness who could not know whether it was manipulated or not.

She looked at the screen of her smartphone.

It’s a UFO. There can be no such thing.

If it’s a pattern in the debris, it must have been a satellite affiliation.

Maybe America or China…

“…!”

She opened her eyes.

The quality of the enlarged picture is terrible.

It is difficult to distinguish the boundary between the sky and debris.

However, the shape was recognizable, albeit vaguely.

As the eyewitnesses claimed, there was a pattern drawn on the fragments of the burning aircraft.

color is black.

The shape is probably the face of an animal.

sheep. It seems to be sheep.

‘Black goat.’

She had seen this pattern somewhere.

But that place is not real.

It was something she had seen in a game called ‘Pick Me Up’, which she was addicted to a few years ago.

That black goat was the symbol of a certain player who was famous in the game.

That player’s name is Loki.

He was the Master of Niflheim.

‘Why is that over there?’

Confusing.

She had heard of Loki’s true identity.

When we met a few years ago, Yurnet, the lieutenant, gave a rough explanation.

“Your sister was lying too? saying you don’t know anything Tztz. This is why all grown-ups ate.”

“…”

“So what is that?”

after.

She took a deep breath.

It’s dangerous to be dragged along by that boy’s pace.

“…it’s your fault.”

She no longer hid her animosity.

The boy smirks.

“Why do you think so?”

“I have nothing to say to you. give it back.”

“What if you don’t like it?”

kick kick.

the boy laughed.

Then, with a drowsy expression, he rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

“No smoking on the subway.”

“Yes, yes.”

The boy put a cigarette in his mouth and sucked it leisurely.

“I really didn’t expect you to come. I am lucky.”

She began to piece the puzzle together.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in an unidentified subway.

In the front, a boy smiles leisurely.

That boy’s true identity… is Han’s enemy.

one israat.

She is the hero she grew up with the most affection in the game called Pick Me Up.

And the object that exploded in the sky is probably an airship.

It is a representative means of transportation in Pick Me Up.

It can fly and can cross dimensions.

Such an airship was attacked on its way to Earth.

There must have been a hero she knew riding there.

The culprit behind the raid must have been that boy.

“If I had stayed silent, I would have been in trouble. I am very grateful to you for coming out on your own.”

tingling

The boy made a donut shape out of smoke.

“So how much is a sister worth to Loki? Should I keep my sister alive? Or should I kill him? I hate unnecessary killing. I am on the side of justice.”

“…”

“On the other hand, he is the world’s villain. He messed up the order of the universe as he did. I don’t know, but there must have been a lot of uproar because of him? hey that’s great so how is your sister? Should I save my sister? Should I kill him?”

She gripped the smartphone’s warhorse statue firmly.

And glared at the boy.

‘I’m not afraid.’

Just like her hero did.

Don’t back down, just fight.

“…not funny.”

The reaction was less than expected, so the boy extinguished the cigarette.

“Well, I’ll tell you one thing to save face. My name is… Niall. Well, greetings end here. don’t worry too much We will meet again soon.”

will we meet again?

Before she could reply, the boy laughed and snapped his fingers.

right!

“town!”

She opened her eyes wide.

rattle.

Rumbling.

It’s not the vibration of the subway.

The chair she was tied to was shaking.

I tried to get up, but I couldn’t get up.

Instead, rattle!

The chair rocked violently.

“What bothers you? Please be quiet!”

“town! Oops! town!”

“Haa, what is this? I can’t even hit you.”

The masked man approached and tightened the ropes that held her tighter.

Several layers of duct tape are attached to the mouth.

She looked around.

The current location is part of an abandoned building.

The wind blows through the broken walls.

In front of them, there was a group of people who looked bad at first glance.

‘Am I kidnapped?’

Finally, she realized the reality.
