The first impression I had when I threw myself out the window was that the night view was somehow worth seeing.

I think it’s pretty to see the mysterious purple sky of the kingdom of magic that I saw in the game.

And the second impression was relief.

The game I played ＜Broken Sky＞ begins one day when a part of the sky is broken and ‘beings from the outside’ invade.

But there was no visible broken part in the sky. Fortunately, the game hasn’t even gone through a tutorial yet.

And the final impression was that it was worth a try.

Two seconds after I threw myself out of the window and started a free fall.

“You’re following me too.”

As the sky receded, I saw a red-haired woman throwing herself out the window after me.

The scattered hair and expressionless face looked creepy at first glance, and the weapon he was holding in his right hand was quite surprising.

“It’s scary.”

It is a battle ax that only Vikings in the media would use.

I expected to use a heavy weapon, but it was more than I imagined, so even though it was sky, my hamstrings were numb.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. One]

[★100% first-time limited commemorative SSR grade magic appeared!!]

The only and perfect chance left to me is only one.

If I missed this one time, I would be killed in an instant by her hands.

can be matched

Because she and I were falling through the air.

If she had the skills to move in the air, she would have aimed for my neck first.

But no.

The distance to the floor is now noticeably closer.

Even if you check with the slowed time through [Contemplation]’s concentration, it’s only about 2 seconds.

Even if I kill her, I will only die from the impact of the fall.

then… … .

[Space Barrier Lv. One]

It’s time to use Oz’s second active skill, [Space Barrier].

It took less than a second to deploy the skill.

and subsequent fall.

Kwajangchang!

As soon as the spherical defense shield developed around my body hits the floor, it shatters with a sound.

“Also… … .”

It was as expected. The skill [Space Barrier] that I know has the characteristic of ‘unconditionally’ blocking an impact that exceeds a certain amount of damage only once.

The same goes for kinetic energy.

If it was a simple defense magic, even if the shock of the fall itself was blocked, the movement of my body, which moves by inertia, would not have been able to stop.

It was probably because his body hit the shield he had deployed as it was, turning him into a reddish lump of meat.

It was able to withstand because it was a [space barrier] that blocked all possible ‘damage’.

“what?!”

As soon as I heard the assassin’s voice stained with bewilderment, I immediately rolled away.

The assassin fell to my seat with a loud roar.

I probably wouldn’t have died.

However, she also didn’t expect that I would fall to the floor, so there was no further attack.

Well, if it was Oz, I would have thought that I would at least use floating magic at the last minute.

“Amazing… … .”

“… … .”

I didn’t even think that the opponent would be incapacitated by the shock of the fall, but I didn’t expect that he would talk to me like it was nothing.

“Today is very different from usual. Were you cheating on me?”

“Since we cheated on each other, let’s not argue about that now.”

Talk to the assassin through the dust created by the impact of the fall.

However, when I activated [Contemplation], I can see the other person’s appearance in my eyes.

She was in a throwing stance, as if aiming for a moment.

“Mr. Oz.”

What the other person knows is information about a person named Oz. But not about me. The current me is very different from the original Oz.

“Please die.”

As I watched, she threw the axe.

It was probably thrown as a surprise to her. Moreover, the distance between me and the assassin was short.

“Suck!”

“… … dodged? On that street?!”

But if you’re expecting it, you can avoid it. Even that was an incredible speed, but I believed that if it was me now, I would be able to respond.

A character with an SSR rank would have higher stats than a moderate R rank warrior, even if he was a wizard.

An insurmountable grade wall.

To be precise, it is a wall of money.

Apparently, I was closer to the playable character than the game story.

“sorry but… … .”

Immediately after dodging the ax, deploy [Master of Mana].

Because she forced herself to throw too much, she couldn’t move right away.

Because I am a magician, I decided that I could not avoid it.

Looking through the fog, her expression is colored with astonishment.

“You lacked understanding of me.”

“… … understanding?”

[Erosion degree 20%]

Looking through the fog, her expression was filled with resentment.

Maybe it was because he had spent a lot of time trying to understand me.

But now I am different.

Because I am not Oz, but a different person dwelling in Oz.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. One]

I can feel the mana flowing through my body and gathering into my fingertips.

At the same time as feeling a sense of loss from the mana being cut into chunks, the composition of the blue magic is completed.

The magic to be completed is the magic used by the SSR grade character, the [Ice Castle Witch].

According to the in-game skill description window, it is definitely the only one with the maximum attack range among all characters—

[Curse of the Icecap]

──Wide area freezing magic that cannot be evaded.

“bye.”

“You mean I still lacked understanding of Oz-sama, I thought I knew everything now… … .”

The red-haired woman stopped resisting with a miserable expression on her face.

Are you thinking of giving up?

Even while having such doubts, magic with a beautiful composition technique like a work of art was released.

The world was dyed white.

* * *

In an instant, the background of the world around me, including the tall building I was staying in, turned into a snowfield.

In the middle of a snowstorm that still blows fiercely.

I don’t know if the enchanted assassin is alive or dead.

I couldn’t see it because it was buried in ice and snowdrifts. I didn’t even check.

[Erosion degree 14%]

I probably wouldn’t have died.

Thinking like that would be good to protect my fragile mentality, so I decided to just do it.

It would be a good idea to learn magic in case we meet again next time.

I can’t stand it because I’m anxious about the future to bet everything on just one gamble like this time.

[Erosion degree 10%]

Looking up at the sky, I could see the purple sky and twinkling stars among the white snowflakes, probably because the snowstorm had stopped.

It is such a beautiful starry sky that I have only seen in books or video media.

It can’t be an unreal feeling. Once again, I could understand that this was a world inside a game.

“… … Is it starting soon?”

See beyond the purple sky and twinkling stars.

In the distance where purple fades and indigo begins to blend in.

A small ‘crack’ was visible.

It is a crack at a level that could not have been discovered if it had not been for [Contemplation].

Evidence that the game is about to begin, an attack by the main villain ‘outside beings’, and a harbinger that the main character’s life will change drastically are just around the corner.

Just below that fissured sky is a small kingdom called Chrysos. At the beginning of the game, it is a country that has already been destroyed and disappeared.

And the only being who escaped from the ruined country, Chrysos, is the main character of ＜Broken Sky＞ and one of the five Key Persons indispensable for the main story.

[KP Princess of Ruin]

Eleanor von Chrysos

From now on, everything will start around her. Her efforts to rebuild the kingdom, her connections with countless people, and the conspiracies of monsters and powerful people are rampant, and the game begins.

Then what should I do?

Having become Oz, what on earth am I supposed to do?

If I were an extra character, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.

However, I became Oz, a regular character who has a considerable weight in the story.

And Oz’s job is to get hit and roll around like an armadillo.

You can’t follow such a story.

In a life-or-death situation, it is impossible to make a risky performance that might lead to such a goal.

So I should rather actively crush the main story.

In that case, most of the stories I knew would be greatly twisted.

Therefore, what we should pay attention to will be the person, not the case.

I look up at the cracked sky and reach for the falling snowflakes.

The eyes that hit the tips of my fingers melted away from the heat of my body.

“… … .”

It’s snowing like this, but it’s not cold. It’s a strange feeling.

There’s really no sense of reality.

[Erosion degree 8%]

The destruction of the kingdom of Chrysos was unavoidable, and it was bound to happen. There is nothing I can do now.

I can’t take responsibility for everything just because I know, so there’s no reason for me to feel guilty in the first place.

[Erosion degree 6%]

After all, this is just a game world. I decided to think so.

* * *

I didn’t feel very cold, but it wouldn’t be good if I continued to lose my body temperature, so I returned to the building where I was.

What greeted me when I came in like that.

“What… … ?”

It was an empty space.

In the worst case, I had no choice but to laugh out loud as I had predicted that another assassin would come out.

Relieved? No, on the contrary, things got more complicated.

The building Ozu was staying in was quite large. There can be no manager in such a place.

The same goes for outside the building.

Despite all the commotion, it is surprisingly quiet.

It would be correct to say that the entire block, not just the building, was bitten.

Restricting movement on such a large scale is not something that can be hidden.

Even if it is now, this must be caught. If so, you might think that it doesn’t matter if you get caught.

No, rather, they may be expecting side effects from being caught.

If so, this is someone’s declaration of war. I mean attack me.

So who is it?

“A man with more power than Oz… … ?”

As far as I know, there must have been no successor other than Oz in ＜Spellage＞.

＜Spellage＞’s right of succession comes from talent, not blood. And Oz is the only heir to this vast kingdom.

It is such a unique position.

At that level, no matter how indifferent they were, there would be an escort and there would be various forces.

And above all, the king who would have designated Oz as his successor will be the back ship.

But if you have the power and power to dismantle and cover it all up.

If only there was someone who could openly attack me in such a conspicuous way and reveal that he would be hostile to me.

there is only one

“… … What did this crazy bastard do to be abandoned by the king?”

[King of Darkness]

salem sudra

He is the king who recognized Oz as his successor.

The king of ＜Spellage＞, the kingdom of magic, revealed his will to throw me out himself.

[King of Darkness] Salem is the strongest wizard and the absolute power of ＜Spellage＞.

Wouldn’t he, who was neither powerless nor powerless, lack the power to protect his successor?

“Another possibility… … I don’t think so.”

If the relationship between the two hadn’t gone wrong in the first place, this kind of attack couldn’t have happened. It’s a declaration of war against the king who would have designated me as his successor.

If you’re a psychopath who wants to fight the whole country, it’s impossible.

“I wondered why someone with power like Oz was at the academy… … .”

The stage of the game basically deals with growth in the academy.

Anyway, I was thinking of going to the academy as a result.

If the main character fails, this world will run straight toward destruction.

Even if it was impossible to assist, I tried to at least watch. But I had never thought of that situation.

An independent institution that is said to have been created by dragons to teach humans.

＜Skientia＞ Academy.

It is a very old academy.

Then why would Oz go there? Oz at the center of the country called [the successor of the King of Darkness]?

If it wasn’t to the extent that the dragon was giving instructions directly, there wouldn’t have been a need to go there for the purpose of education.

Then there were other reasons to go there… … .

What was the case in history when the royal family went to study in another country?

Of course, there will also be learning.

But wouldn’t there be more people who fled or were held hostage in danger of being pushed out and killed in a power struggle?

“There’s no way I’ll be a pawn… … . Because the spelling in the game was a great power.”

ruined.

The more I think about it, the more I see only one possibility.

In fact, this is still only speculation. Above all, they don’t even know why Salem threw Oz out.

maybe it’s my mistake

But in the game, it would be clear that my life was in danger just because Oz was in ＜Skientia＞ after all, not ＜Spellage＞.

“The conclusion has not changed. didn’t change… … .”

I was thinking of going to ＜Skientia＞. It was like that from the beginning.

The main character of the game [Princess of Ruin] Eleanor von Chrysos will also head for ＜Skientia＞.

＜Skientia＞ can be seen as a politically neutral zone that no one can touch as long as the dragon reigns.

If you touch it wrong, you will face an unprecedented fear that can lightly burn a country.

The sudden collapse of the sky is not something that any country can take lightly.

That’s why the eyes of each country have no choice but to turn to Chrysos, the ruined country.

Then what if there is only one survivor of that fallen country?

Of course, there are not a few people who think Chrysos is the cause of the collapse of the sky.

Now, it is dangerous for her to reveal her existence.

That’s why she would need a safe fence along with a helper to help her.

Originally, it would have been better to hide completely in the shadows, but there are reasons why she couldn’t do that.

“… … It turns out that the main character wasn’t the only one who needed a safe fence.”

If my qualification as successor was a problem, I would just have to retrieve it.

But instead of doing that, expressing your will in this way means that you will use the whole country to kill me.

In ＜Spellage＞, which is a meritocracy, the successor qualification is to win.

Of course, it’s faster to kill and get rid of it than to press it with your skills.

With such a clear method in place, Salem pulled the trigger first.

Now, other powers in the kingdom of magic, who have only been paying attention until now, will try to bite me like a wildcat.

“under… … .”

Laughter comes out, my heart trembles, my breath quickens.

The moment I sorted out the situation, everything in the world started to feel like a dagger pointing at me.

It shouldn’t stay like this.

From now until we arrive at ＜Skientia＞, we must not have a moment of leisure.

“Damn it.”

If you want to live, you must escape ＜Spellage＞ before the hounds flock to you.
