Nobody could move.

Neither the king on his throne, his soldiers, nor even the court mages.

Not even the king’s advisor, who’d lived for over two hundred years.

Everyone saw that figure and was drawn in, absorbed in its presence and yet drowned in utter fear.

Her fluttering hair was a golden hue that turned into a shade of scarlet, as if someone had put a gradation effect over it. Her eyes, which seemed to see through everything, were a fire-like scarlet. Covering her unblemished white skin was a pure-white dress and a cloak of crimson.

Her appearance was so beautiful, symmetrical, and flawless it made one realize the difference between them and perfection, going as far as to result in feelings of misery.

—And peeking out of her cloak was proof of being one of the heaven-winged while at the same time being the taboo of the same race: large, pitch-black wings.

As if a true king had just returned, people bowed their heads in fear.

They could not raise their heads. They could not face forward. Knees shaking, they assumed the position of a retainer welcoming their master home, heads stuck to the ground.

She was the perfect example of a king whose presence commanded the space around them, prompting people to prostrate themselves just by standing there.

She had the presence and dignity of a supreme ruler, one that would brook no argument, as well as the dress of a leader.

And in the center of that whirlpool...

The girl who forced all the people in the castle to prostrate themselves, who gained total control of the place without lifting a finger, smiled silently and thought:

—It wasn’t anyone else, but her, who was most confused in that situation.

* *

That’s probably first in the order of things I should explain.

But, there’s something I should say before that.

I am male.

A perfectly healthy, normal, everyday boy. With that as a premise, I’d like you to listen.

First......let’s see.

I was playing a game, just like usual.

That game being .

was an online game that got released in 2027, and this year was their 6th anniversary.

Apparently, it was based off of a family-friendly, orthodox RPG set in Mizgarz, a fantasy world of swords and magic, which got turned into a tabletop RPG before having that turned into the online game we have now. Unfortunately, I never had the original console, so I never played the original game.

......No, well, I had considered buying it. The console was called “Dreamstation,” or “Dreast” for short.

But the Dreast was a console from twenty years ago; it was really hard to find. There weren’t any antique game shops anywhere near me, either.

Anyway, it was like Since the setting of was so straightforward and orthodox, it was really easy for beginners to get into. People fought using mainly swords and magic, and there were monsters and elves and fairies. Basically, there were a lot of races mixed in among each other.

You know? You hear that shit so often, right? That’s exactly what orthodox is; it’s still familiar somehow, even after all these years.

I was a high school student back when I first started this game, and I just started because I kind of felt like it.

There wasn’t any real reason for it, and it wasn’t like I was invited by a friend, either. It was just a whim......I noticed it by coincidence, and it was free-to-play so I decided to try. That’s all my motivation was. It was simple.

In the end, I got super into it. All my passion was poured into it.

At any rate, I went as far as I could to buy time to play, and any time I was free, I was playing.

By the time I realized, I’d already started buying items with real money, and I ended up getting a part-time job putting stickers on merchandise to make money to spend on the game.

Why a job that I could do at home? Because if I went out, I wouldn’t be able to play my game.

I barely even wanted to go to school. And of course, I wasn’t involved in any school clubs—the go-home club, if you will.

What was lucky for me, and unlucky for the largest portion of players, was that there was a limit to how long you could play each day. It was probably to try to control the growing number of online game addicts, so for now, let’s make that the reason why about ten years ago, they passed a law restricting online play.

So, of course couldn’t ignore the law and made it so that nobody could play for more than ten hours a day.

Thanks to that, I was able to log basically the same playtime as other addicts even while going to school and maintained my status as one of the top players.

At any rate, I put my all into raising my character.

I leveled up a bunch of jobs to their limit and even tried changing them around.

The selling point of this game was the extremely extensive character creation. If I remember right, there were over 10,000 “parts” to create from. I don’t actually know them all.

The fact that you could combine those parts freely to create an essentially infinite amount of avatars led me to like my own character even more, drawing me in further.

The character I created with that system was “Lufas Maphaahl,” a heaven-winged girl.

The heaven-winged were one of the playable races in this game, and their characteristics were that they could fly, and, in exchange for high basic stats, they couldn’t learn attack magic at all. They were called “the race of kings” and had an inborn charisma that could force others to follow them.

That was reflected in-game, too, in the form of a racial skill that immobilized others if the level gap was too high.

Well, it was completely useless for things like boss fights, though.

I trained and trained Lufas.

No matter how much I paid for the item, I didn’t hesitate to equip the best stuff, and I took part in every event that gave good loot.

Eventually, I started a country—I gathered other players who wanted to join into a combined force, and although at first we were small, we grew and grew.

One of the selling points of the game was a system called “War.”

Two factions would bet everything and fight, and the losing country would be absorbed into the winning country. Lufas used this system to its fullest and conquered many different countries.

Of course, although it’s referred to as conquering, all the wars were started with both parties’ consent.

Doing so without consent was just thievery. Something like that would just get you exposed immediately and ostracized and hated just as fast.

There was also one more selling point to this game.

The “Novel System.”

It was a system that partnered with the internet’s largest novel-submission site, where the things that players did in-game got turned into official canon in the form of a novel.

“I started a war for this reason.”

“We went through this much trouble to finish a quest.”

Send those things in to the official site, and anything they accepted would get displayed on the official homepage.

If you paid money, you could get even small events made into a story, so everywhere in was a story, and the players were all the main characters.

And large, critical events were turned into stories free of charge.

My character, Lufas, became a semi-official character that all the players knew. She’d destroyed and taken over many enemy states and was the first character since the game started to combine the entire world into a single country and reign over it as the Great Conqueror.

Lufas Maphaahl, the Black Wings of Terror.

That’s right, once I managed to take over the world and create an empire.

As one would expect, I couldn’t take over the official last boss’s, the devil king’s, minions, but everyone other than the free players became citizens under Lufas.

The above event was treated grandly by the above Novel System, and people started saying a lot of different things about Lufas. If I remember right, they were things like, “You’re a wild last boss,” or “Geez, why don’t you just become the last boss?”

But then, a problem happened.

A unified world was, honestly, not fun game-wise.

It was a waste of a fun mechanic in the War System, and made it harder for new players to make their own new countries.

So, I consulted with other high-level players, and we agreed on holding a player-created event.

We contacted a famous novelist on the site and had him create a new “crux of history.”

The story went like this:

The world was invaded by the Great Conqueror Lufas and unified through force.

However, heroes rose up.

Even while being ruled, they waited for a chance, and along with others who agreed,...
