Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

[Amkena Side Story Episode 15]

Countless dimensional fragments are flying in the sky.

Suddenly, Amkena saw a particularly large piece of glass among them.

‘…’

The daily life of peaceful Seoul is reflected in the glass.

It is midday in Seoul, without biochemical terrorism, declarations of war by giant spaceships, or meteorite impacts.

Cars are tightly packed on the road, and passers-by are crowding through them.

Just a few days ago, Amkena was one of them.

But now I’m looking up from this unknown place.

‘scared.’

Whoops!

The World Tower is ahead.

From now on, Amkena must try the unimaginable.

but.

Have you ever thought about what happened before?

The world itself felt like a fantasy.

Where is this place?

Now I can’t tell if it’s day or night.

Purple fog floats instead of clouds, and the dark sun is blazing in the sky.

The sunlight from such a sun was reddish.

There are no pedestrians or cars.

The only elements that can distinguish this place from Seoul are the buildings and the streetscape.

Amkena calmed her trembling feet and stepped on the accelerator.

On the roadside right in front of the World Tower.

From here, it is impossible to enter by car.

However, Black Thunder ignored this and entered.

“I will go first!”

At Siris’ cry, Amkena nodded.

Whoops!

The red-painted bike started super-accelerating.

Together with him, Siris in the driver’s seat spread his cape to the side, and fierce flames erupted from there and embraced the body of the car.

When the flames disappeared, a sports car appeared.

But the color is red.

“It’s the Red Flame!”

“It’s a childish name.”

“Then it’s chili fire!”

“…let’s do the first one.”

Awesome!

Red Flame turned 180 degrees just before going to the entrance of the World Tower.

On the other side, Black Thunder was galloping.

The shape of two supercars facing each other from the front.

Red flames speed up.

Amkena’s Black Thunder also continued to accelerate, not to be outdone.

In this state, they would collide with each other and break into pieces.

And just before the two cars collide.

“now!”

signal.

Siris slammed on the brakes.

The Red Flame suddenly braked and the front body of the car collapsed.

Hey hey profit!

At the same time, Amkena also hit the brakes.

And I adjusted the steering wheel while changing gears.

The front body of the car soared high.

like that.

“Hello!”

Black Thunder climbed onto the lowered Red Flame’s chassis and jumped into the air.

Using the red flame as a springboard, he soared high.

‘Here again!’

Change gear again and grab the steering wheel.

Busy hands and feet.

It was a performance that could only be seen in a racing movie.

‘The goal is…!’

The vertical walls of the World Tower.

Land on that skyscraper as it is.

thud!

Black Thunder jumped nearly 4m and collided with the windows of the World Tower.

With the strong impact, the bumper was mercilessly distorted.

On the other hand, the World Tower’s tempered glass was able to withstand this level of impact.

And here…

according to the original physics, you should be caught by gravity and fall down.

Silver ripples spread from Black Thunder’s body.

The power to materialize the fantasy in your mind.

The magic inside the car is manifested and changes the laws of the world.

Soon, the ‘perspective’ of the world was flipped half a turn.

rattle.

The impact of the crash subsides and the rear body of the Black Thunder sinks.

Then, Amkenna stepped on the accelerator again.

Like that, Black Thunder climbed the side of the World Tower and started running vertically.

‘This is it?’

I can’t believe it even though I did it myself.

oh my god.

Driving through the glass windows of a skyscraper.

Amkena’s Black Thunder uses the side of the World Tower as a road and runs toward the sky.

‘that.’

Because this is not the Seoul she knew.

It’s because it’s not the Earth that Amkena knew.

The erosion of the dimension had already thickened as much as the density had increased, and magic was able to work.

[Can you hear Master Amkena? This is Yurnet.]

“Yes, yes!”

[You have safely entered the World Tower. Please speed up and go to the top floor.]

“From then on, you mean you can leave the battery to Mr. Aaron, right?”

[that’s right. That’s your role.]

Amkena looked at Aaron in the back seat.

His complexion is not good, but his spirit is maintained.

‘They said we should go to a place as close to the sky as possible.’

That place was just the top of the World Tower in Seoul.

From there, Aaron penetrates the dimensional wall and throws a battery containing a statue of a warhorse through the gap.

The statues in the sack will serve as a beacon to bring Israt to this place.

“Where the heck is this?”

Amkena looked left and right.

I see a super-giant flying saucer stopped just in time.

It was a moment when particles of light were about to burst out from the middle part.

In addition, meteorites falling from the atmosphere, super robot giants, and more.

All of them exist with time stopped.

“What did you do?”

[The dimensional defense system was activated by inflating the suspicion of the Earth’s unconscious.]

“Dimensional defense… what?”

[This is a ‘brain break’ according to the Internet terminology here.]

“Brain break?”

[It means that such magic has exceeded the permissible limit. Up to the appearance of a terrorist in Seoul, it is possible to allow it with probability, but if it goes out beyond that, it becomes unacceptable. The danger of collapsing contradiction is getting serious…]

“Ah~ Yuruni speaks with great difficulty.”

Nihaku laughed brightly and shouted.

“It’s just a sword that upset the earth!”

[…That’s right.]

“Then what will happen?”

[A correction is made to Earth’s history. on the right side. It means that the events so far have become ‘something

that never happened .’

[Simply put, the time zone of the earth goes back to before the event occurred. You can think of it that way.]

Before the incident happened… Before I was kidnapped?

[That’s right. Until Amkena’s daily life collapsed.]

Yurnet said as if she had read her mind.

“So, where the hell is this place?”

[It’s been a while since I’ve used this word,]

Yurnet replied with some laughter.

[This place is called the ‘space-time gap’.]

The space-time gap.

Amkena felt it too.

I think you’ve heard of it somewhere?

[A world that exists but does not exist. A junction dimension in which time and space are jumbled together. In Pick Me Up, thousands and billions of these places were created to reverse the fate of Mobius.] [

It was all futile.]

[Who?]

Suddenly a voice interrupted.

Amkena remembered the owner of that innocent voice.

[Hey, did you manage to pass?]

[…]

[Really. A trap like this should be easily pierced. Otherwise, there is no meaning to what I was created for, right? Isn’t that right, older sisters?]

Her voice is clear and clean without a spot.

But the ominousness in that voice was terrifying, as if digging into the listener.

“Nial…?”

[Thank you sister! Did you remember my name?]

[You are the one who set this trap.]

[Ah, is that your sister? Loki’s bullshit.]

Yurnet didn’t answer.

However, Amkenna was able to infer that the woman on the other side of the screen was quite angry.

[amazing! It’s like they left the master in a faraway place and came back alive and happy among themselves!]

[At that time, we were careless. I won’t make excuses.]

[Puhahaha! Oh yeah! Good luck.]

Niall’s laughter echoed.

[You know? Just kidding. It’s real from now on.]

Amkena decided to ignore the boy’s ridicule.

Before I knew it, the top of the World Tower was right in front of me.

All you have to do is entrust the statue of the war horse to Aaron.

You will be able to bring an Israt into this world.

‘No matter how high it is, it’s 500 meters.’

With Black Thunder, it would take less than 30 seconds.

The battery on the side is tightly restrained, tied to a seat belt.

It was the moment I was about to prepare to take out the bag.

“uh…?”

Kwajik!

The view from the top of the World Tower in the distance distorted.

And when the distortion was over, there was the side of the building again in place of the top floor of the World Tower.

[Gick-kick-kick!]

I heard the laughter of a boy.

[It’s no fun that the racing track is only 500 meters long! It should be 10,000 meters!]

Amkena opened her mouth.

The top of the World Tower, which should have been right in front, was far away.

Should I say it soared to the end of the sky?

‘No, it’s not like that…’

The height of the sky has also gone away like that building.

A strange feeling, as if the middle zone between heaven and earth had been stretched out.

[Puhahaha! Kikikikick!]

The boy burst into laughter.

simplicity and honesty! Cranky!

Space is distorted several times.

Then, the shape of the World Tower, which stretched out straight, changed to a zigzag course.

There were even S-shaped curves in the middle.

Now, the building in front of my eyes can no longer be seen as a building.

He draws all kinds of esoteric and geometric shapes.

Now, Amkena’s Black Thunder had to run through that ridiculous course.

[Ah, noona should be at this level to taste like running, right? The straight course is boring!]

Niall smiled grimly.

[Mas… Cheeky. Wait a minute… Cheeky!]

Yurnet’s voice is covered in noise and cannot be heard.

Only the sound of the boy’s laughter filled the car’s speakers.

[Hey sister. You can’t run slowly just because the course is difficult. If you run too leisurely, I’ll punish you!]

Clink!

Amkena looked back at the sound of something breaking.

Something pitch-black was pouring out from the cracks in the broken space farther back.

‘that…!’

Nihaku shouted.

“It’s a fragment series!”

fragment series.

An existence like a swarm of locusts that eat everything they pass by.

They squeezed through the cracks and began to form groups.

Giing! Gee ying!

tens of millions. billions of them. An uncountable number gathers together to form a black cloud.

The debris cloud followed quickly after Black Thunder.

[Keuk ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke !]

Bubbling.

There was a popping sound as bubbles bubbled up here and there.

The buildings near the World Tower melted into large, long tentacles.

Each of the tentacles had an appearance that would make you feel sick just by looking at it.

Dozens of strands of it stretched out near the World Tower and began winding around the side of the tower.

“The master enemies have started in earnest.”

Aaron said earnestly.

“Because this place is outside the jurisdiction of Earth, the enemy has no reason to decline.”

“Why not?”

“yes.”

Soon Amkena understood the meaning of the words.

‘This is a gap in time and space.’

Then, whatever happens here has nothing to do with Earth.

It became a place that had nothing to do with each other.

The sound of glass breaking that Amkena had heard earlier was the sound of shattering as dimensions separated.

In other words, it means that the boy can play freely here.

‘No, then…’

Isn’t it very dangerous?

Amkenna looked straight back.

A group of black clouds were pursuing Black Thunder.

That’s different from cops and riders.

“Hey! It doesn’t work either!”

No matter how many times Nihaku fired explosive arrows, he didn’t budge.

It ignores small explosions casually and chases after them.

rattle! rattle!

The body of the Black Thunder shook wildly.

Normal driving was difficult because the side of the building was bent and curved.

‘this!’

A huge shadow is cast.

Amkena hastily snapped the steering wheel.

Black Thunder turned sideways.

Right after that, a large tentacle slammed into the place where the car was driving.

The tentacles that coiled around the building and climbed up began to attack.

‘It’s not even a straight course! Strange things are coming from behind! What are those tentacles!’

Suddenly the road narrowed and the S-shaped course began.

The scene where the building, which was supposed to be straight, was bent and curved, made the viewer even feel a sense of fear. In addition, bumps like bumps protrude here and there, impeding driving.

‘This kind of course.’

I have never experienced it in Car X Rider.

Even the highest level maps used in professional competitions did not have this level of difficulty.

Squeak! Awesome! What a profit!

Black Thunder drifted wildly and ran through the S-shaped course.

Avoiding barricades and bumps that stretched out in between.

[Puhahaha! Oh yes sister! Where do you work hard? They’ll be caught up and eaten anyway?]

The boy grabbed his stomach and laughed.

Even if you try, you will soon die.

The track in front of you is a map of death with six consecutive S-shaped courses.

In addition, debris rushes in from behind at a tremendous speed, and tentacles that strike down hinder the driving.

Moreover, various obstacles welling up here and there on the track.

it’s a dead life

My sister is finished!

It will be overtaken unconditionally and broken into pieces!

30 seconds at the longest.

The boy could rant.

It was a track that I made after thinking about it several times.

You can’t escape the chase with toys like that.

I managed to get out of the S-shaped course, but that outburst is not far away.

[oh? Do you do it well? Anyway, no way. Because it’s a course I put all my heart and soul into. You’ll never pass.]

One minute later.

[…]

And again three minutes later.

[Huh?]

After a while.

Something is strange.

Seeing the sight unfolding in front of his eyes, the boy involuntarily spoke to himself.

[…why didn’t you catch up?]
