86. Dimensional Rift (1)
The evening after clearing the 20th floor.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
Amkena logged on.
[Loading is complete.]
[TOUCH ! (selection)]
I put the file in the drawer and stood up.
The record of clearing the 20th floor was written into the file. It was for reference when a similar mission occurred later. When Amkena touched the screen, the main screen of Pick Me Up came to mind. A message was displayed.
[There is a hero waiting to be promoted to master!]
[A hero that can be promoted – ‘Han(★★)’]
I looked at the green message window.
Yesterday’s clear made my level 20. A 3-star upgrade was possible. However, a 3-star promotion required a slightly rarer material than a 2-star.
[Helpful tips for masters who have broken through the 20th floor!]
[Tips/For a 3-star promotion, you need an ‘intermediate upgrade seat’. ‘Middle Upgrade Stone’ can be manufactured by combining ‘Low Upgrade Stone’ and ‘Low Soul Stone’. Be aware!]
Isel seems to be doing her job.
I drank all the way through the cooled tea and left the room. When I came out to the square, Isel was moving a cart with goods.
[Ah, are you here?]
Isel saw me and waved his hand.
“What is that?”
[These are the keepsakes of the children who died this time. Used cups and dolls. No big deal.]
I looked to the left of the plaza.
The door to the storage room was open. Through the door, I could see the backs of Edith and Roderick.
‘indeed.’
It seemed like they were cleaning up after the battle.
A minimum of condolences will be needed for the future. Next to the storage room door, Jenna is firmly attached to the wall. Jenna’s eyes met mine, and she crept closer.
“what are you doing?”
“I was thinking about going in. I quit because the atmosphere was serious.”
I looked at the contents of the cart.
The rough-cut wooden cup is Usher’s. Sculpture was his hobby. The doll probably belongs to the archer who died this time. The circumstances were unknown. muttered Jenna.
“There’s no third party? It seems there are only two people.”
“Because I couldn’t go up to the second floor.”
“That’s kind of pitiful.”
As the cart entered, the storage room door closed.
I shifted my gaze. There is nothing I can do. With Usher and Diran’s mementos stored in the storage room, Amkenna began the next task. The facility tab was touched.
[You have selected ‘Conversion Station’, an annex of ‘Synthetic Center’. Do you want to build it?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
Kururu.
A vibration arose on the synthetic side.
[The conversion station is complete! From now on, the hero can be transformed.]
[Good!]
[The promotion station has evolved to Lv.2! The efficiency of synthesis increases.]
I said with a smack of tongue.
“Jenna, what are you going to do?”
“Well, it’s a bit drowsy for training. I’m going to go to the break room. I heard there’s something like chess.”
“Then go.”
“What about your brother?”
“I’m a bit busy.”
Jenna went into the dorm while tilting her head.
Left alone, I sat on a bench in the plaza on the second floor. After a while, the scene of Isel dragging someone out appeared through the transparent floor.
rattle.
The synthesizer’s door opened, but the message was different.
[Master Conversion Begins!]
[Tips/’Conversion’ tab opened. Transform your hero to get various materials!]
Transformation.
It is the second way to utilize useless heroes following synthesis.
The man screamed and struggled, but it didn’t last long. The man was thrown into the synth. The door was closed tightly. After a while.
[Good!]
[Conversion complete!]
[You have acquired the ‘Low Soul Stone’!]
Amkena has obtained the Soul Stone, which is a material for a 3-star promotion.
Transformation is turning a hero into an item. Conversion is used when the merit of synthesis is reduced due to the level gap between the target and the sacrifice.
The one who just converted knows.
The things that do nothing even though the upper and lower classes are separated and discriminated against in food, clothing and shelter. It was one of those cases. It wasn’t even worth putting together.
‘It’s not a nice sight to see.’
I smiled.
Fear was in the eyes of the people hanging out in the square on the first floor. They hurriedly escaped and scattered to the training center and armory. I then stared at the message window that popped up.
[Start item synthesis!]
[Optional material – Lesser attribute stone, Lesser soul stone]
[Complete item – Intermediate upgrade stone]
[Success rate – 91%]
[Synthesis method – Automatic]
[Synthesize?]
[Yes (optional) / No ]
[Thumping!]
[Fairy power!]
[Good!]
[Synthesis completed!]
[You have obtained the ‘Intermediate Upgrade Stone’!]
I sat on the bench and looked at the messages that came to mind one by one.
It wasn’t long before Issel came out with an intermediate class seat. The color is similar to the lower class, but the size is different. I took the fist-sized stone and put it in the pouch. The door to the 2nd floor synthetic lab opened. I opened my mouth.
“Is this the second time?”
[Since there are 7 stars, you only have to do 4 more!]
“By the way, Isel, how much interference have you accumulated? I want to make another contact with the master.”
[Uh, that’s…]
Sweat trickled down Isel’s temples.
“Did you hit a scam?”
[no! I just watched a bit of Mu-Tube and Mu-Tube!]
“I also surf the web a bit.”
[That’s right… But I can’t help it. In the first place, there are too many heroes! All day long day day day! You look so overworked Because the stress piles up!]
The workload is a bit heavy.
I smiled. When Amkena connects, Issel moves without a break. I agreed with Issel’s need for leisure.
“There won’t be any at all. Tell me. I’ll start right away after I get promoted.”
[So…]
Isel narrowed her eyes and put her hand on her chin. Then it spun around in place.
[How long can I access the Internet for 30 minutes? As I said before, writing an e-mail or posting on a cafe will save you time.]
“That’s fine. Get ready.”
I got up from the bench and walked to the synthetic lab.
The second door inside the synthesis is open. then went in When I put the upgrade seat on the altar in the center of the room, a red light enveloped my whole body.
[Master promotion begins!]
When I opened my eyes, I was inside a certain house.
The scene in the room is familiar. I’ve seen it. It was the shabby house I saw when I was promoted to 2 stars. It’s a clumsy structure built with wooden planks.
‘There was a woman holding a baby.’
The woman at that time is nowhere to be seen.
Just one corner of the room. Someone was crouching and trembling. I can only see the back Judging by his size, he’s a young boy. I stretched out my hand, but as expected, a transparent wall blocked it.
‘Is it this again?’
I clicked my tongue.
The dark-haired boy muttered.
“Mom… Dad…”
Bang!
I kicked the transparent wall hard.
‘I’m annoyed.’
I don’t know why it’s showing me this.
I left the boy alone and looked around. A door was visible in the right wall. I grabbed the doorknob and turned it, but it was locked.
‘The last time I opened this door and went out…’
I met him.
It was a very dirty experience that I didn’t want to go through twice. Anyway, unless that door is open, there is no exit here. I sat in the rocking chair in the corner of the room and waited with my arms crossed. The boy cried and called his parents, but I never paid attention.
when about 10 minutes have passed.
The darkness outside the window enveloped the entire room, and a message announcing the completion of the upgrade came to mind.
[Bara Bam!]
[Congratulations, Master!]
[The hero’s forgotten memory is awakened.]
[‘Han(★★★)’ promotion complete! It has become 3 stars.]
[Illustration is updated.]
[Level and skill limits are increased.]
[Hero’s job change has become possible.]
Darkness wrapped around his body.
Returning to the synthesis center’s red magic circle, I left the synthesis center. Issel nodded on the bench.
I punched Isel on the forehead.
Isel’s eyes opened with a strange moan.
[Neat!]
“How long has it been since you entered?”
Issel rubbed her wet eyes and flapped her wings.
The body floated in the air.
“I’ll talk in detail in my room. There are quite a few eyes here.”
[Let’s board!]
Issel got on the shoulder.
I thought about brushing it off, but I gave up. On the way to the dorm, a summons message came to my mind.
[Master 5 series summoning begins. I can’t wait to see what kind of hero will come out!]
[Talkak durururu.]
[Follow me!]
[Common!]
[Master ‘Amkena’…]
‘Is he replenishing the staff?’
Dika, who was at the training center, walked out to the entrance of the summoning center.
Dika, who plays the role of an instructor, was also in charge of educating new recruits.
“Is it okay if I don’t go? I don’t mind tomorrow if I’m busy.”
[are you okay. Weeding starts tomorrow.]
“Is that so?”
Dika opens her mouth to the newcomers.
Different reactions came back. it’s tomorrow It seemed that they went through a minimum of training before going on the field. I passed through the lobby and entered the room. Issel came down from his shoulder and sat down on the desk.
“I’ll start right away. Bring up a window.”
[Before that, I have something to tell you.]
Issel smiled, covering his mouth.
[The reason I surfed the web was not only to play, but also to help Loki! I searched for various information that might be helpful on my own.]
“So?”
[Do you want to hear it? do you want to hear There’s a special report from Cap-chan!]
Isel’s eyes twinkled as he drew closer.
I reluctantly agreed. Issel raised his index finger.
[That first! Amkena joined Ragnaroki.]
“Hmm?”
[Ragnaroki. You said it last time. National Rockies Association. Master of Master’s first-class fan cafe!]
I got goosebumps on my arm.
I put my hand on my forehead.
“So, amkena joined my fancafe?”
[of course! Whooping, that guy also realized the greatness of Loki. Can’t you give up without doing that? Bookshelf in the sky… I’m envious. I’ll give you one too…]
I ignored Issel’s glare.
‘It’s not useless at all.’
Amkena confirmed that she developed a crush on me.
This will be a significant plus factor in correcting the master’s play. I didn’t feel very good though. I opened my mouth.
“What’s the second?”
[Information about Niflheim.]
I caught my breath.
Issel raised his middle finger followed by his index finger. and said
[Nippleheim resumed recruiting cadets.]
“Cadet?”
[huh. Conditions are 3 stars or higher at level 20. Heroes belonging to Server 2 who are about to change jobs.]
“Take a closer look.”
When Isel spread his palm, a hologram window appeared.
[Pick Me Up!]
[Welcome to Dimension Cafe!]
Dimension Cafe.
It was an internal community accessible from the right side of Pick Me Up’s main screen. It is connected within the game itself, and the direction is slightly different from the official site.
Dispatch bulletin board
[※Caution!]
[This is a place to post messages related to dispatch. It will be deleted when other content is uploaded.]

[Comment 17433]
There is no need to look below.
I waved my hand and Issel closed the window. Issel put his hand on his hip and snorted.
[Isn’t it funny? Loki is here Where are you impersonating me!]
I put my hand on my chin.
There were quite a few things to think about.
[But aren’t you surprised? I thought I was going to fall right away.]
“I’m sticking with you and browsing the internet, right? There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Still, there are no surprises.
The first is that the pick me up hero can intervene in the master’s system. I’m definitely here However, the author of the bulletin board was Loki. The submaster’s authority, which I thought was a simple agent, seemed to be more powerful than I thought.
The second was the condition of educational services.
It fits perfectly with me now.
‘It’s like…’
Isn’t it calling me?
