EP.1013 2(-1) Part 10 Chapter 26

“You, by the way, what’s up with Tera?”

“I’m going there periodically.”

Though it may look like I’m just slacking off and eating snacks, I regularly visit Tera to check on things.

After all, that place is where I earn money for the kids I’ll have in the future and also where I need to save past Shin-ra.

It’s true that I haven’t paid as much attention recently because I’ve been focused on Shin-ra’s game, but my intention to save past Shin-ra hasn’t changed.

“The Princess of Beach Nation, Hari, is doing well, and the Neona-chis in Earth Country are being properly managed. It’s a bit too much for me to handle alone, so the Blue Wind Sect of Tera is working below.”

“So far, there haven’t been any major issues, right?”

“Exactly.”

There haven’t been any issues at all.

Not even forces of chaos appeared, and besides, there was another entity properly managing the place.

“Yuna is handling Tera management during her free time now, as the Earth Mother Spirit.”

While subduing the priests of the Gaiana Kingdom, Yuna enveloped herself in the status of the Earth Mother Goddess.

Like how an officer’s personality fuses with a spirit’s personality, Yuna has become one with the Earth Mother Goddess and rules over the Gaiana Kingdom.

By day, she’s the otherworldly deity of this world.

By night, she’s a streamer.

Living a dual life like this, she, like me, created an avatar that connects to Tera and manages it while sleeping.

“Rather, wasn’t it you who didn’t care about Tera until now?”

“Hmm… Well, it’s not like that’s completely wrong.”

Both me and Yuna have been quietly managing Tera intensively, so it’s only natural that Shin-ra hasn’t shown much interest in Tera.

To her, it’s a place filled with painful memories.

The being who had never experienced defeat in her life once lowered her own flag, and that humiliation still lingers somewhere in Shin-ra’s heart.

But that doesn’t mean Shin-ra is thinking of revenge or anything like that.

Shin-ra would only show interest in Tera in one case:

“Talk to me when you meet the Fire Attribute god in Tera. I’d love to see them fall into your hands. Puh-heh.”

“Isn’t it that you want to corrupt them with your lesbian beam?”

“Isn’t it the wife’s feeling to want her husband to eat the delicious thing first?”

“Wasn’t that the you from the past?”

“If someone could devour their younger self from their late twenties, wouldn’t anyone want to do it?”

“Is that so?”

I thought she only wanted to devour her past self with a lesbian beam, but surprisingly, she has commendable thoughts.

“A paradox of virginity will occur.”

“What’s that strange talk?”

“If I take you in past Tera, while your virginity was already taken by me here, it would create a contradiction.”

“What’s this weird talk? That’s fine no matter what. Because…”

Shin-ra lightly kissed my hand and winked.

“As Lady Shin-ra, as Chang-yeom, and as Blazing Phoenix in the game—my every first belongs to you.”

“……”

Thinking about it…

I’ve taken Shin-ra’s “first” countless times.

Even though taking someone’s “first” multiple times doesn’t make sense, somehow…


Somehow, I’ve become a man who’s slept with the virgin spirit of Shin-ra… three times.

“Once in the game. Once in Earth’s 20 years within the realm of consciousness. And once in reality. Now, I’ve even gotten her pregnant. Puheh.”

“Well, now that I said it out loud, I feel pretty accomplished.”

“You might feel accomplished, but I feel somehow wronged? Like, I want to go back in time and steal your sympathy or something.”

“…”

I have nothing to say about that.

“So anyway, since you’re taking all my firsts, you should also take the virginity of the Original Phoenix, way before Blazing Phoenix. Got it?”

“Got it, got it.”

Though it’ll probably take some time to get to the Land of Fire.

‘Not like I’ve only talked to one god so far anyway.’

In the Beach Kingdom, I only kidnapped Princess Harang; the only deity I’ve conversed with and formed an alliance is the Great Mother Goddess of Gaia’s Kingdom.

So if we’re just counting numbers, there are still six gods left.

“The sun needs to work hard to earn baby formula money.”

“The sun will breastfeed, though.”

“If the baby starts on strawberry milk, they’ll get spoiled.”

“Who’s even trying to breastfeed anymore?”

“No matter what, I won’t mess with what my child eats.”

I lightly flicked Shin-ra’s chest.

“This was originally mine, you know.”

“Puhaat! Sharing breasts with your kid isn’t allowed either!”

“Maybe half is fine. Let’s decide now. This side is mine.”

Just kidding.

“Later…”

Beeeep.

“…Guess I’m not becoming a gentleman anytime soon.”

A message came through.

From Yuna.

“Yeah, Yuna?”

[Big Brother. Mr. Ha just sent an urgent message.]

“Mr. Ha?”

[Yes. He says he’ll come directly to your house to talk. What should we do?]

“…Is someone nearby?”

[Yes. Should I transfer the call?]

“Yeah.”

One deep breath.

“Mr. Ha?”

[Long time no see.]

Ha Sun-tae.

His voice was unusually stiff.

[By any chance, are Miss Shin-ra and Miss Harang nearby? If so, please put this on speakerphone.]

“Harang’s…just a sec.”

I gestured for Shin-ra to move further into the room.

After our long-delayed broadcast from the Busan trip, she quietly went into Harang’s room.

“It’ll take a while to turn off the broadcast. What’s up?”

[A calamity has occurred in Tera… No, actually, it’s not just Tera. There’s trouble elsewhere too.]

“Elsewhere? Where?”

[Earth, 20 years in the past.]

“Wait, why?”

Why there?

[Apparently, the guy who swapped statuses with you has tampered with Earth 20 years ago.]

“…Wait, hold on. I don’t understand. How could you possibly identify Earth 20 years ago from over there?”

[Terraforming.]

“Huh?”

Terraforming was part of the original game’s story too.

There are even heroines whose routes involve continuing life on Tera.

But how did “that guy” manage to reach Earth 20 years ago?

“Explain thoroughly. What’s going on here?”

[To summarize…]

* * *

At that moment, top floor of a certain company building.

“Summarize in three lines.”

“People from Earth 20 years ago opened a Dimensional Gate. Unfortunately, it connected to ancient Tera. Also, where Phoenix Sir went was there too.”

“…So, all of this is just a coincidence?”

The bald guy sighed, his face twisted in frustration.

“How vast and diverse is the universe, filled with countless worlds as numerous as stars, yet somehow it connects specifically to ancient Tera? Does that make sense?”

“…Could it be because of someone’s overwhelming desire to meet someone?”

“Still, even so. How could everything align so perfectly like this?”

The bald guy snapped his fingers.

“Could one of the heroines be trolling us?”

“No. All observations are complete. It’s purely coincidental that the spaces connected.”


“…This isn’t over yet, is it? Hmph.”

Whoosh.

A holographic screen unfolded across the vast glass window.

The screens scanned multiple locations at once, each displaying a different world.

“No matter how hard we try, you can’t ascend to this higher dimensional plane. Not unless you’re a Spirit. Right?”

“Yes. Our analysis shows there are no more entities in Earth-20 capable of synchronization.”

“But Phoenix descended into Tera, right?”

“It’s possible she might be able to make contact there.”

“In that case…”

The bald man began rapidly rolling his eyes.

“Hypothetically… If a being from the upper dimension plants their seed into someone from the lower dimension, what would happen?”

“It creates an ascension point connecting to the higher dimension.”

“Nice!!”

The bald man pumped his fists triumphantly.

“So if Phoenix goes around having wild sex down there, she could bring someone through to reality! Whether it’s from Earth-20 or Tera!”

“Theoretically, it’s not impossible. However…”

“However?”

“She hasn’t engaged in intercourse yet.”

We’ve been directly observing events in Tera.

Phoenix has never recklessly ejaculated inside another woman.

Though she has forcefully injected mana into uteruses before, actual penis-in-vagina sex hasn’t occurred.

“Can’t we find some loophole?”

“The very existence of this bypass is already a loophole.”

“I see…”

The bald man scratched his empty head and licked his lips.

“…But does it really have to involve actual sex and ejaculation to work?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Yes. There’s absolutely no hope otherwise.”

“Hmm…”

The bald man let out a long sigh.

“…Alright then. Let’s cut to the chase.”

Conclusion.

“If Phoenix gets someone pregnant through sex in Tera, she’ll be able to bring anyone through, right?”

“That’s correct.”

“Then that’s settled.”

The bald man clasped his hands together in prayer.

“Please, just let her get laid already…”

“……”

If even the prayers of this transcendent being from myth go unanswered…

What will become of us then?

* * *

“This is the first time we’ve done a proper crossover in quite a while.”

Before we proceed, a few checks.

“If there happen to be people crossing over from Earth-20…”

“You mustn’t approach them recklessly. Understand why, big brother?”

“Of course I do.”

There are those who know me in Tera.

Most likely, they’d be Heroines.

Heroine – a word that implies trolling.

“Even if it’s not trolling, if everyone finds out you’re actually Big Brother, they’ll all come after you with fire in their eyes. And it’s not just Heroines, right? How many people out there want to meet the hero who saved the world again?”

“And there will be those who say ‘Since the world-saving hero has crossed over to fight again, we should help him!’ and step forward.”

Yuna grinned as she grabbed my hand.

“Don’t worry, Harang-ssi. I’m going with him.”

“…Alright. Just be quick about it when we reach the Water Country. Got it? We need to take care of the Water Spirit quickly so I can interfere too.”

“Got it, got it.”

After calming Harang down and finishing our checks, I reached out to Shin-ra who had just returned.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes, but promise me one thing.”

Shin-ra, sounding somewhat anxious, extended her pinky finger to me.

“If…”

“If?”

“If you absolutely must have sex… It has to be with Yuna only, understood?”

“…Alright, alright.”

I wasn’t planning on having sex with any of the people or spirits of Tera anyway.

“With my beloved wife waiting for me in reality, why would I bother with sex?”
