You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Iori is also a seasoned player, and even knows a little about programming and game development. Naturally, she knows the importance of this, so although she seems to be making bold moves, she is actually quite shrewd.

In addition to these, there are some other things that require extra attention, namely the background stories and personality settings of NPCs.

These things are just decorations in the game. Just like character customization, no matter how you set the character's personality, in the end, it's just an NPC and won't have different actions because of different settings.

When creating NPCs in The Great Tomb of Nazarick, players often write a cold and grotesque personality in the character attributes section, and their justice value (goodness/evil) is mostly negative, meaning they are all set up as major villains.

But this won't make any sense in the game, since regardless of their justice level, they will all act under the command of the same system AI. At most, they might add a custom voice pack to make it more realistic—that's already quite generous.

Only when these textual descriptions of personality traits become real will they truly have an effect!

This is easier to modify than appearance. Iori himself is a renowned writer in Soul Society, so changing these uncomfortable contents into a more acceptable "dark chuunibyou style" is a piece of cake for him.

And so, on the one hand, they carefully examined the Great Tomb, checking and correcting parts that might become hidden dangers after crossing over; on the other hand, with the help of AI, they carefully designed "legal" props that would not violate the system's rules, replacing unimportant data with them... and so time passed day by day.

On the day the game shut down, Iori first summoned her puppet and made some arrangements to ensure that Suzuki Satoru and the others would not be treated worse even after she left this world. Then, she dismissed all irrelevant people and lay down in the luxurious game pod, entering the virtual world under the soft light.

'We've been ordering him around for so long, shouldn't we leave him some benefits?'

—This thought flashed through Iori's mind as she recalled the Far East Heavy Industries family that had served her so diligently.

But he quickly shook his head with a smile, as if mocking himself.

How innocent can capitalists be in this cyberpunk worldview?

In fact, although he was not interested in capital operations, he had learned more or less about some of the group's internal secrets in recent days and knew that the puppet he controlled was definitely not clean, so he did not need to feel guilty.

Besides, he might come back, and he might still be of some use. We'll see what to do with him when the time comes!

"Link start!"

With a psychedelic halo flashing, Iori's vision shifted to the throne room of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. A maidservant group led by the butler Sebastian waited respectfully below the steps. Only one NPC was allowed to stand to the side of the throne to serve Iori, namely Albedo, who was the highest-ranking NPC in the setting.

After Iori logged on, the NPCs greeted her as usual. Although Iori knew they weren't real people, she nodded slightly in response. Then, she looked up and noticed that the game interface had an extra countdown timer compared to usual.

"almost……"

Iori narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious, much like someone waiting for the lottery results after buying one.

If someone in reality were to enter the CEO's office and open the gaming pod, they would be astonished to discover that the mind-sensing device, which should theoretically intercept the player's consciousness and guide them into the virtual world, is instead wide awake. Iori, though logged into the game, remains conscious in reality, multitasking between two worlds!

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Iori was not lying flat like an ordinary person, nor was he activating the motion-enhancing sensors covering the inner wall. Instead, he was half-lying with his back against the inner wall, raising his right hand and pressing it against the psycho-sensing device on his glasses.

Imperceptible particles of light emerged from the fingertips, tracing fine golden lines on the surface of the device before disappearing into the background…

【Spiritual Magic】!

In a branch timeline of Type-Moon, the Great Source has dried up, and traditional magic has lost its potential for development. Magicians there have adapted to the changing times and developed a new type of spirit magic, which can "spiritize" their spirit, body, and soul and send them into the computer world as clones.

Simply put, it's a magical version of consciousness uploading, but unlike the ambiguity in science fiction, this explicitly involves the soul level.

The Holy Grail War in that parallel world also turned into an electronic war dominated by "Mooncell".

This kind of magic is like spirit transfer, which requires a special qualification that ordinary magicians cannot master, but it is naturally not a barrier for Iori.

In fact, he didn't learn this kind of magic at the last minute. To better utilize the supercomputer he acquired from Chaldea, he needed to master spirit particle magic that allowed him to directly connect his consciousness to the computer—

After all, you can't expect Chaldea's quantum computer to be Type-C!

Moreover, most of the worlds Iori visited didn't have modern civilization at all... To make things easier, she simply taught herself spirit magic, which allowed her to break free from dependence on external objects and access things directly with her consciousness, without needing input devices like a mouse and keyboard.

By the way, Serra can do this too.

Within Iori's faction, this second-generation Winter Saintess is the only one who can replace him in controlling the quantum computer, and only she can handle a systemic mega-project like the "Dragon Vein" on her own.

Iori isn't fully immersing herself in the game right now; instead, she's keeping her focus in reality, like a hand reaching out from inside a door to explore the outside. If she senses something is off, she immediately pulls it back!

Spiritual magic ensures that he is not bound by mechanical devices, and he can successfully escape even if something like what happened in Sword Art Online occurs.

The reason for being so cautious is because of the potential dangers mentioned before. For Iori, the journey is full of unknowns!

Even if he creates a completely empty account and isn't afraid of being scammed like the original protagonist, he still needs to be wary of someone like "Shimazaki Yosuke," who only has his soul transmigrated while his physical body remains in reality.

Iori is a materialized soul, one inside and out, with no distinction between "flesh" and "spirit"... so he couldn't be sure what would happen.

What if they only transfer a part of his soul to another world and create a clone for him?

While cultivation novels often feature themes of external avatars and secondary spirits, Iori has absolutely no desire for anything like that!

He has a certain degree of mental fastidiousness; at most, he can accept temporary clones like Naruto's, which are skill-based. As for independent individuals that can exist permanently... forget it!

Neither he nor Yuuki would allow a second version of themselves to exist in the world!

Therefore, Iori made up his mind that if any uncontrollable accidents occurred during the process, he would rather directly withdraw this wisp of spiritual consciousness from the game, or simply let it perish on its own, giving up this opportunity to transmigrate, than create any inner demons or major problems for himself.

So he calmed down and waited for the final moment to arrive... Because he had already decided everything, he wasn't nervous at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of anticipation and eagerness.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

Finally, as the countdown reached zero, Iori's mind was more focused than ever before, all the contingency plans flashing through her mind, and then—

Ding!

[The Supreme Being of the Dimensional Gate]

Note: Special story CGs detect the influence of predetermined fate forces, and after analyzing them, open the gate to a fixed other world.

It is related to [The Undead King of the Dimensional Gate], but the two are independent of each other. You can directly use CG to travel to the corresponding world, without needing to enter Earth first and then go to the other world.

"it is good!"

After several days of hard work and preparation, the unexpected turn of events finally brought relief to Iori.

Indeed, it's safest to do time travel yourself!

The next moment, as a new story CG began, Iori's figure dissipated into countless photons, leaving the game pod empty.

……

When I opened my eyes again, the scenery that came into view was no different from what I had seen in the game, only more detailed. Even with Iori's keen observation, I couldn't find any flaws... As expected, it had become "reality"!

Instead of immediately checking the NPCs and treasures in the Great Tomb, he closed his eyes and meditated, carefully examining his own condition—although he had traveled there on his own, he was still quite cautious.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Iori suddenly relaxed and lay lazily on the throne, propping her head up with one hand and glancing at Albedo, who was quietly waiting to the side.

Compared to her appearance in the game, you can now feel a strange, bewitching aura surrounding her that data cannot replicate... Now, she truly deserves to be called a "peerless beauty".

However, compared to beauty—

"Albedo."

"Yes, Your Excellency Aizen, what are your orders?"

Albedo's voice was soft yet strangely alluring, and her conversation with Iori made her slightly excited, though she subtly suppressed her emotions.

"Take one of the things I left in the bedroom... first, the [Full-Time Outline Document]. Retrieve it."

"Lord Aizen...you mean...I, a mere nobody, have the honor of entering your room?"

"……Any questions?"

"No! Yes, my Lord!!!"

"Hmm~"

Iori gave the order, her heart filled with slight excitement:

I wonder what effect his "works" would have in another world!

~~~~~

Chapter 335 Cheating is part of the game.

"Lord Aizen, here is the grimoire you requested."

Albedo gracefully walked to the throne, knelt down, and bowed to hold up the heavy ancient book held on a golden disc. Her attire was not as revealing as that of a typical succubus; her white dress with a spiderweb pattern was elegant and appropriate.

But this position allows Iori to see, from his perspective, the full, perky, white upper edge of her breasts, as well as the deep valley formed by the compression of the two hills.

It couldn't have been done on purpose, could it?

Iori calmly withdrew her gaze, not losing her composure because of this small scene, and turned her attention to the ancient book that was as thick as an English-Chinese dictionary.

As the owner of the grimoire, Iori easily unlocked the magic clasp on the leather cover with a flick of her finger, then randomly flipped to a page, revealing a data panel. Albedo's attention remained fixed on the book, not shifting her gaze upwards, suggesting that only Iori could see this.

It worked!

Iori took a deep breath, her gaze suddenly sharpening, and a sense of exhilaration rose within her.

His character panel was so simple it was almost unbearable to look at; even a newly registered account had more content than him. But this was an account he deliberately designed to eliminate potential problems, so there was nothing to be disappointed about.

On the contrary, the reaction of this character panel and the [Full-Time Outline Document] proves that his experiment has been successful, and the effort he put into it will soon yield a considerable return!

What are the most precious things in a game?

Artifacts? Monsters? Forbidden spells? Treasures?

These are all valuable, of course, but what Iori wants most is a "job system"!

A little guy who gets killed by wolf soldiers as soon as he goes out, without even having time to learn the immobilization spell, can level up step by step and become the Monkey King if he is patient enough to grind monsters!

This is standard practice in games; after all, what game doesn't have an upgrade system?
