I Became the Goddess of a New World

Akachan could not find any bugs.

This was a summary of Akachan’s past hour in one sentence.

“Emergency.”

Emergency. Emergency.

Muttering “emergency” repeatedly, Akachan continued to scrutinize the records of this world.

Not a single minor detail was overlooked; everything was examined closely.

But where, and for what reason, the bug had occurred was beyond understanding.

If there was no issue found in all the records, the conclusion was only one.

“···No bugs exist.”

Bugs existed in the virtual reality, but there were no bugs.

Akachan was starting to grasp the meaning of “going crazy.”

“What if in the virtual reality…?”

Flash!

A hypothesis pierced through Akachan’s mind.

“Earth.”

If the bug didn’t occur in virtual reality.

What if some issue arose on Earth that triggered the bug?

“···Outside the authority.”

But Earth was not a world where Akachan could exert influence.

Akachan’s domain was strictly limited to ‘Another World.’

“Cooperation from the Akashic Record in charge of Earth. Absolutely necessary.”

Akachan momentarily detached from the golem body gifted by Aurora.

The main body of the Akashic Record didn’t exist separately.

If one had to specify a main body, it would be the planet encompassing the world itself.

– What’s going on? What’s the matter?

The presence of the Earth-affiliated Akashic Record A-013 immediately reacted to Akachan’s presence.

– Help needed. Bugs occurred.

– Bugs? What bugs?

Akachan summarized and explained the events thus far.

– Bugs occurred to only one person?

– Affirmative.

The character created through customization was as similar to the body of this world.

Aurora and Akachan, who had been in the virtual reality for an extended time, did not experience such bugs.

– Upon checking the records of a man named Master Kim, I understand the cause.

The Akashic Record A-013 shared some records with Akachan.

– Realization?

– The level of the soul is rising.

The trigger for the bug was as follows.

1. Master Kim gained enlightenment upon breaking free from Shimma.

2. The enlightenment raised Master Kim’s soul level.

3. As a result, Master Kim’s correction level increased.

In this process, it was evident that Master Kim’s job being a Warrior certainly contributed to the synergy.

– But what role does the correction level play?

Recalling what Aurora had said previously, Akachan answered A-013’s question.

– The discrepancy between the body of this world and the soul from Earth. The correction level is a mechanism to resolve this gap. If we liken it to a game, it could be said to have solved clumsy controls.

As the soul level rises, the sensed discrepancy diminishes.

In other words, enlightenment in reality was synonymous with ‘raising the correction level.’

Akachan recorded and conveyed the definition of the correction level as stated by Aurora to A-013.

– Truly a clever idea reminiscent of an otherworld enthusiast. Quite resourceful.

– Seeking advice to resolve the bug.

– Hmm…

After a moment’s thought, A-013 exclaimed “Eureka!”

– We separate the classifications.

– Question. Requesting explanation.

– Realizations gained on Earth apply only on Earth, and realizations obtained in Another World apply only in Another World.

Akachan, thinking this was a brilliant solution, clapped.

Of course, being in a conscious state, no sound of clapping was heard.

– Any further issues?

– Negative. Thank you for the cooperation.

– Then I’ll take my leave first.

The presence of A-013 vanished, and following that, Akachan also returned to the golem’s body.

***

Meanwhile, Master Kim, who was conducting the Akashic Record, felt an unsettling sensation.

His body felt lighter and movement more liberated compared to yesterday, making combat easier?

This was also the sentiment of the viewers who had been continuously watching Master Kim’s stream.

―――
Master is dominating ㄷㄷ
Just leveled up again
Why is the correction level like that?
Attack power must be raised ㄱㄱ
Why is the correction level increasing?
―――

“Is the correction level strange?”

Chats regarding the correction level had been coming in for a while.

Master Kim, having missed them due to the rapid speed of incoming messages, finally saw it now.

“Right. It should originally be 2, but now it’s 7, huh?”

Crash-!

While smashing the head of a charging Dark Wolf, Master Kim thought.

A simple bug? Or hidden passive skills of the Warrior class?

“Isn’t it typical of a secret class to have hidden skills as well?”

―――
No way, right? ㅋㅋ
When I hit level 10, they’ll probably give something.
Go ahead and do first job promotion, ha ㅋㅋ
So the raised correction level is a bug?
Do you think the correction level has an effect, Master?
―――

While looting items dropped from the Dark Wolf’s corpse, Master Kim quietly remarked.

“The correction level definitely feels good. The attack power is nice, but the correction level feels even more significant.”

Has he transcended the state of being able to control his body freely?

“You know how characters in fantasy webtoons can jump around like flying? The correction level seems to be playing just that role. As the correction level rises, movement becomes more detached from reality and closer to fantasy.”

Master Kim explained the ‘correction level’ he felt from a player’s perspective.

If Aurora or Akachan had heard this, they’d probably be breaking into a cold sweat.

―――
Totally understandable.
So, the correction level is OP, huh?
So why is the correction level rising?
Now he’s taken the title of the first bug user too, ㅋㅋ

“It’s getting late. I should prepare to camp nearby.”

An aristocrat approached Master Kim, who had been watching the chat.

“Has it really gotten that late?”

While the sunset was indeed happening, it wasn’t yet time to camp.

At least that’s what Master Kim thought, but the noble’s resolve was firm.

“This place, the Dark Devouring Forest, has nights that come quicker than other regions.”

“Is that so?”

Master Kim complied with the nobleman’s suggestion and began tidying up the surroundings.

“Hey guys. Doesn’t that noble named Raven feel a bit off?”

Although it was their first meeting with the NPC, something felt fishy.

“A noble who is that polite? That’s suspicious.”

The noble introduced himself as Raven.

However, he did not reveal his last name.

Most importantly, he was pulling the carriage himself, with no lackeys around.

A noble pulling his own carriage through the forest?

It was a situation one could not help but be suspicious of.

“Shall we test him later?”

―――
ㄱㄱㄱㄱ
I was suspicious just watching too.
Good-looking guys are usually unlucky.
If things keep going this way, we’ll be backstabbed.
Master, let’s proceed with caution.
―――

Opinions were divided, but the suggestion to test him was slightly more popular.

[ Main Story – Conversation ]

[ Main Story – Skip Camping ]

After finishing the preparations for camping, two choices appeared.

It was the same choice that appeared during the previous camping.

Back then, they had skipped camping to progress the story, but now they needed to find out about the NPC named Raven.

[ Main Story – Moving to Conversation. ]

Whoosh-!

The campfire caught flame.

Master Kim leaned against a tree, and Raven sat down on a fallen tree trunk.

With carefully styled blonde hair and striking blue eyes, he emanated aristocratic elegance.

Raven certainly exuded a noble aura, but that wasn’t what mattered.

What mattered was that Raven was hiding something.

Crackle-! Whoosh-!

In the awkward silence filled with the sound of the crackling fire.

“···Do you think I’m suspicious?”

The first to speak was not Master Kim but Raven.

“Very much so.”

“Haha. I see.”

Raven chuckled at Master Kim’s honest confession.

“Please put aside your suspicions for a moment and listen to my story?”

The story unfolded for quite some time.

The crimson sunset completely sank beyond the horizon.

And until the campfire consumed all the firewood it had gathered.

What was this feeling? There was no way to know for now. "This time, I’ll tell a more hopeful story." Ah, oh. Raven cleared his throat. His voice was gentle, reminiscent of reading a storybook to a child. "This is a tale about someone who existed a thousand years ago." Since it happened so long ago, much of the content was distorted. But her title did not change. "The hero, Aurora." The one who saved the world from destruction, the hero. *** Taking a moment to cool his head, Master Kim intended to watch his broadcast. "Aurora was the greatest archmage in history and..." Why? Why is that story coming up? "…defeated transcendent evils like dragons and the Demon King who sought to destroy the world." ――― The Goddess of Normalization ㄷㄷ Just hearing it makes the magician seem OP, right? Don’t you know that in fantasy, mages are usually the overpowered ones? It sounds like listening to a fairy tale ASMR. ――― Something felt off. Why did the NPC named Raven refer to me as 'she'? Clearly, I had died as a man without revealing that I had transformed into a woman. Feeling the weirdness, I accessed all historical records related to the creator’s authority. Finally, I was able to discover why history had changed. "Crown Prince···! What on earth did you do?!" The false history had the Crown Prince’s involvement. He was someone who clearly knew I had originally been a man. Had he lost his marbles and officially declared the hero Aurora as a woman? Could such a thing even happen? Questions arose in abundance. After all, I had always operated under the concept of mysticism. In other words, I had never established my gender separately. If I were to ask why I adopted such a concept, I’d have to admit... "I have no excuse." But still. Another World, mysticism. How can one endure this? That’s why very few individuals knew my original gender. As a result, I ultimately became enshrined as a woman in the history of this world. "Ugh..." Of course, I was indeed a woman now. The continent's famous astrologer had told me that my soul had transformed into a woman. Moreover, even the Akashic Record listed my gender as female. "Huh?" So, was I wrong? Is the Crown Prince actually right? "That can’t be true." But this is just inappropriate, isn’t it? I was originally a man. ...Not anymore. "Oh, speaking of which." Suddenly recalling, the statue of 'Aurora' in the Hall of Heroes map also depicted a female figure. When I made it back then, I had inadvertently copy-pasted my current form. "Should I call this fortunate?" It’s like being hit by a car, only to be run over by the ambulance afterward. "When Aurora shouted to the soldiers who were under the terror of the Demon King's army, 'There is no paradise in the place you fled to'…" Unable to hold back any longer upon hearing the story from Master Kim’s broadcast, I emerged. No matter how high my self-esteem was, listening to the impressive playthrough of the deceased hero was tough. "I think I want to take a break today..." I threw my body onto the bed and buried my face in the pillow.
