Chapter 241 – -240- Summoning an SSR-level Hero ♥ (1)

What he received as a natural reward for his family counseling was full authority over GK Bio, which he ran.

As his agent, I was able to move freely throughout the facility without having to be watched like before.

Is it security? What does that have to do with anything? The authority I obtained from him is the highest level authority.

[Highest level security clearance confirmed]

The path to the depths of GK Bio 4 Lab was all too familiar to me.

Because it was the very place where I was ‘born’!

I still clearly remember information such as which side of the surveillance equipment was blind, where the vents and emergency stairs were connected, and when the guard’s shift schedule was.

‘It was really hard to stick small decorations and sprinklers to the ceiling with your bare hands.’

The escape was possible because the performance of the newly acquired body was as perfect as expected.

‘At that time, I used every possible means to avoid the CCTV everywhere and disappear like a ghost.’

Even though the cost burden was reduced through various preparations in advance, there were dangerous moments.

‘Huh, I tried so hard to avoid that friend in the corner over there…’

Unlike back then, now that I’m proudly approved, I don’t have to worry about security, so it’s a new feeling.

Recalling the memories, I looked around.

The exterior wall, which seemed to be free of any dust, and the dazzling white lighting were still the same.

However, what is different from when I visited before is that the overall size of the facility is a bit larger?

It seemed like the orders continued even after the escape incident.

‘Well, it’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars to get this body…’

The temptation of being able to start a new life with a new body could never be resisted by old capitalists who were left with nothing but death to do, so in a way, this demand was natural.

After going down for a while, we finally arrived at our destination.

The security personnel guarding each room bowed to me and opened the door.

“Is this place? Culture room E-5?”

“That’s right. Ah, I heard from the boss. He is the person who will be in charge of this ‘transfer’ process… Can I check the security terminal for a moment?”

“Oh, of course”

Did they find it a little suspicious that the technician had such a well-trained body?

He examined my security terminal with a slightly nervous expression, then smiled relieved when he saw the green light on the screen.

“I checked. All the equipment needed for work has been prepared inside. Other items will be in the cabinet.”

“Thank you. Is there anything else I need to know?”

“Well, as far as I know, none. If you need my help, just press the red button on the table on the left.”

“Thank you”

After finishing the formal conversation with the man and entering the incubation room, the thick iron door closed and another opened, and my goal began to appear.

‘Yeah… It was like this…’

The body of a blonde woman in a water tank was floating with her wires attached to it.

The best body I created with my involvement from the design stage. It was a body prepared for only one person.

[There is a consciousness waiting to be uploaded. Do you want to proceed with the transfer?]

When I came in, a panel slid open and asked if I wanted to start the scheduled work.

I frowned and shook my head.

“No, this body already has an owner. The ritual I prepared… Well, discard it.”

[Proceed with deletion?]

“Okay, don’t keep the file, just erase it completely, so it can’t be recovered.”

[Confirmed]

With my decision, an old Chinese diplomat who believed he could be reincarnated as a beautiful Westerner finally met his end.

All the power and wealth he had accumulated throughout his life was used to create this body, but it was taken away by me in an instant.

Well, such trivial things were not important to me at all. I felt nervous for the first time in a long time and operated the panel.

… I came here to transfer Bella Sodus’ consciousness here.

‘I… Need her’

I needed a companion. A person you can trust and entrust your back to.

I thought about brainwashing people from real life, but I didn’t feel like it.

Why should I go through such trouble when I can already bring people here who are completely loyal to me?

It was not efficient.

… Actually, to be honest, it wasn’t an issue of efficiency.

Because what I am trying to do now is far from efficient.

Of course, it is more effective to brainwash all the people involved in the GK Group, even if it takes time.

‘But… I must do it…!’

So this is. In the end, it is my greed. A desire to bring all the characters from the worldview I have walked so far into my reality.

It was not clear whether it would succeed.

I tried experiments such as transferring the consciousness of animals in a simulation, but I wasn’t completely confident in that.

Like I did, will she be able to recognize herself in the virtual world and herself in reality at the same time?

Unpleasant thoughts filled my head of the consciousness of the virtual reality failing to mix with the physical body of reality and being destroyed.

As I imagined the worst case scenario, my head started pounding.

‘I checked it several times. The theory is perfect… It won’t happen’

‘If only one thing can be restored… Damn, what are you thinking…’

The peace that the worldview with Bella Souders gave me was strong enough to make me think about giving up revenge, even if just for a moment.

Is it because her attachment to him remained that strong?

The more I pressed, the more the anxiety about unpleasant possibilities came out.

‘In the end, it’s data, even if it’s wrong… Ah…’

I felt very uncomfortable thinking of myself as nothing more than her data.

And that discomfort was in touch with the fundamental anxiety I felt.

Even if it’s broken, she feels guilty that she sees her as a replacement who can be restored at any time.

Anxiety that the memories I accumulated in virtual reality are all still fake.

The reality that Bella Soudus, her time with her, and her entire world view was still just data was so unpleasant to me.

In the end, there was no need for Sajok.

I needed her.

Bella Souders will be the anchor of my reality.

After making up my mind, I manipulated the panel to connect Bella’s consciousness with her real body.

“…!”

A culture room so quiet that even the sound of swallowing is greatly amplified in the eardrums.

[Uploading consciousness…72%]

As the number on the panel increased, my heart rate seemed to increase as well.

After what felt like eons, the number finally reached 100.

[Operation completed]

The solution that filled the tank is discharged through the pipe, and the floating body touches the ground and opens its eyes.

As the hazy gas slowly subsides, the beautiful woman slowly opens her eyes.

A blue light that seems to embrace the sea.

Looking into those eyes that were so familiar to me, I asked with a trembling voice.

“… Bella?”

“… Huh, is this voice Leon…?”

As soon as I saw her eyes filled with joy and her joyful voice as soon as she saw me, my vision became blurry.

***

“Here, then, is Leon’s true reality…”

She said, looking around her in amazement.

“A world without magical powers… It’s fascinating.”

After trying the spell for a moment, she opened her eyes wide and was surprised when nothing really happened.

For someone who has lived with magic her whole life, wouldn’t a world without her magic be too shocking?

When I asked worriedly, she waved her hand as if it was nothing.

“Hehe, this world is also new and good? It’s so new, hehe, I even got to see Leon cry!”

“I heard you didn’t cry”

“Hi, your eyes still look a little swollen? Oh, Leon. Did you miss me that much? Mom, I’m not going anywhere ♥”

While waving at me, she looked at me cutely and smiled.

Bella, who was wearing a lab coat in her corner, burst out laughing and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen her cry.”

“Heh, Leon looks good with her black hair too… But, is she a bit of a crybaby here? It’s okay, I love Leon who is a crybaby too”

She looked up at me, rubbing her blonde head against me.

“Stop teasing me. Anyway, how are you feeling? Are you okay?”

“Hmm… It feels a little heavy and dull, but I guess this is normal for a body without magical power…?”

“What about your head? Can you feel two worlds at once?”

“Yes, it feels a little strange. I’m here, but I’m also there at the same time…”

“Isn’t it difficult or painful to understand both at the same time?”

“Hehe, parallel thinking is the most basic thing for an archmage. Leon, didn’t I teach you that?”

Perhaps sensing her deep concern, she reassured me by speaking in an exaggerated tone.

She smiled and continued her words.

“Besides, it’s not that difficult. It just feels natural…? And, I’m getting used to it. Really, if you can do something like this, Leon, please come to the Palace of Life more often from now on!”

“… Sorry. Ah, what were you doing there?”

“I was just hanging out at the Palace of Life. Ah, after hearing my story, everyone was begging me to invite them next time, Leon.”

“Um, okay. I promise.”

“Really?! Can I say this?”

“… Yes”

Next to her LED display, I saw her smiling next to me, half-dressed in her lab coat, as everyone else was fighting for their turn.

It was only then that I felt it. I am confident that I have succeeded in bringing Bella Soudus into my reality.

“… Don’t you think Leon knows how desperately everyone is waiting? Oh my, Leon…? My eyes are red again.”

The sight of her covered in modern culture felt so unreal that I held her tightly for added confidence.

The feeling of being held tightly in her hand.

“Aaaaah, Lee, Leon…?”

My heart is racing. I can feel the body temperature and soft skin.

“… Leon”

It’s not that they didn’t exist in the previous world view… But contact in reality felt different in weight.

When I felt with my own body that she was not just an illusion, I impulsively spoke out the words she had not said out of shame.

“I really, really missed you, Bella.”

“… Me too, Leon…”

“…Ah,”

“Leon, pervert…♥”

It would have ended with a touching reunion. As soon as I held her and inhaled her body scent, she said, “If I wasn’t so excited that I could feel my dick on her too.”

“Ah…♥ Even in this world, Leon’s is really…♥”

Her once intelligent and wise eyes were colored with lust, but she and I were able to exercise superhuman self-control.

“As for filial piety, please get out of here and do it…♥”

“… Yes”

***

After rummaging around inside, I was able to find out what the security had told me about.

After the ‘transportation’ was over, the clothes to cover the body were stored well in one place.

Bella took off her lab coat and wrapped her body completely in her clothes.

The two of us quickly walked out of the incubation room.

“Ah, are you finished?”

“Yes, thanks for preparing well. It was over quickly.”

“Ah, then this is…”

Is it because of the charm that is difficult to hide even with a mask and loose clothes?

The guard’s gaze stayed on Bella for an unusually long time.

I quietly warned her, stopping her from continuing to look closely at her.

“VIPs do not want their identities revealed. Of course.”

“Oh… Sorry, sorry! I didn’t mean to.”

“It’s okay. It’s not a big mistake.”

Perhaps because of the words that Bella whispered in my ear before leaving, ‘I’ll look forward to the delayed filial piety ♥’, my steps were twice as fast as when I came in.
