288. Impulse Soft (8)
“This might be an interesting story for you too, Dexter. “It’s a story about one of the infinite possibilities of this milestone.”
“… … .”
“Well, don’t be surprised! By using this signpost, you can access the normal world called Pangea Chronicle. “It’s a unique world, almost like an online game.”
“… … .”
“I heard that general users who are not Guest ID users access a service called Impulse Soft. “It feels like a game company, but I don’t know how they provide the normal world like a game.”
“… … .”
“But Dexter, I just remembered that you once said that you had a connection with Impulse Soft.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Seongjin, who was worse than he was, shouted at Dexter, who was slowly backing away while holding the milestone every time he uttered a word.
“Oh, don’t be on your guard! “I won’t take that away!”
Then Dexter, who was hesitantly looking at Seongjin, said.
“But it’s a keepsake, didn’t you ask for it to be returned someday? It was just a temporary measure. “I thought they would cover up the atmosphere of the time when the source editor was broken with a milestone and then tell them to re-release it at any time if it was forgettable.”
Seongjin was hot.
To tell the truth, I wanted to get the remaining half back from him and check whether the Pangea Chronicle’s graphics were okay.
It’s still a long way to go to collect the cache, and going through the dungeon with my current skin is frustratingly obstructing my vision.
But no matter how much I thought about it, reassuring Dexter and getting information came first right now.
‘For the time being, we have no choice but to rely on that damn shiny infant skin… … .’
When he looked at the half-signpost in the dwarf engineer’s hand with wistful eyes, Dexter, who noticed it, freaked out and blocked Seongjin’s gaze with his whole body.
“also! You can’t hide those greedy eyes! “It was all with a plan, you swindler!”
no! They won’t take it away! Who says you’re a fraud?
In the end, Seongjin couldn’t bear it anymore and proposed it to Dexter.
“good. “If you don’t believe me, then sign a formal contract with me.”
I need to access the Pangea Chronicle before it’s too late, but the conversation won’t proceed at all like this.
“I will lease the milestone to you for a certain period of time. “For now, the lease period will be two years, and we will extend it depending on the situation.”
“… … .”
“I promise you this on your honor. “I will definitely keep what I signed.”
Although I don’t know the details, it appears that Dexter is indebted to the old man’s workshop. Also, he is stiff-headed even in front of the emperor, and the only person he obediently follows is the elder.
So the elder’s honor must mean quite a lot to this dwarf engineer.
‘Of course, it’s a useless honor to me.’
While Seongjin was thinking such irresponsible thoughts, Dexter played with his goggles, thought for a moment and asked.
“… “What are the conditions for those two years?”
“Nothing special. Just share with me what you know about Impulse Soft. And I will help you uncover the identity of the Pangea Chronicle. “That’s about it.”
Even if I made a gift and splurged on it earlier, I would already have more than enough to pay the rent.
When Seongjin opened his eyes wide and looked at him with the light of truth, Dexter, who was somewhat startled, turned his head and quietly averted his gaze.
“that… “Are they going to write a proper contract?”
Ah, this guy is so great! Have you been deceived by the world?
Impulse Soft.
As Seongjin guessed, it was the name of a game company. It is also a fairly prosperous company in the original world where Dexter lives.
A popular game that the company has been servicing for several years has been [Pangaea Chronicle].
“My mother probably knows a lot about the Pangea Chronicle. She’s the head of the engineering team. “I was left out of the engine development phase, and I believe Pangea Chronicle began service after that.”
Dexter’s mother, Matilda Lorretz.
She was said to be one of Impulse Soft’s core developers and senior executives. It was a fate that led to Dexter also joining the company after graduating from graduate school early.
Recognized as having outstanding talent since his school days, he was fortunate enough to be part of the engine development team that was being conducted in secret at the time.
It was an engine with an innovative concept that had never been seen before, the [Homunculus Engine].
“As you already know, the essence of the Homunculus Engine is Ionian technology. In the first place, there was nothing special about what the Impulse Soft Engine development team did. “Rather than creating something new, it was closer to porting the Ionian Homunculus engine to a computer.”
The development team began work in a closed space, and all work was kept strictly confidential.
Meanwhile, Dexter learned of the existence of another original world and met several Ionian engineers who were part of the development team.
It was during those times that my relationship with the elders was created.
“There was an Ionian engineer left?”
Wasn’t that place already completely destroyed? Are you saying there is no engineer left who can properly repair [Homunculus Engine Editor]?
Then Dexter pulled his beard and answered bluntly.
“It was only a few years ago that Ionia was completely destroyed. And it has been consistently showing signs of collapse ever since. “The Ionian engineers on the development team worked with an Earth company to safely evacuate the inhabitants from disaster.”
Fortunately, the Ionian engineers who completed the transplant in time took their clans, created a safe normal world, and left for good.
Unless they were the kings or oracles of the dimensions, traveling from dimension to dimension would be easy.
In other words, the only people who can currently touch the Ionian machine, even if it is clumsy, are the few remaining development team researchers at Impulse Soft and Dexter.
“And the first online game developed with the Homunculus engine they left behind was probably Pangea Chronicles. “In fact, it is not a game, but rather a dimension that can be accessed like a game.”
However, it is said that Dexter did not stay on the development team for very long.
“During the engine development stage, I had already had a major falling out with my mother. “At that time, I was asked by an elderly person to manage the workshop, and I came here with ease.”
The reason Dexter began to fall out with his mother was the death of his younger brother.
My younger brother, who had been constantly pessimistic about his genetic disease after breaking up with his lover, overdosed on drugs and died at a young age.
At that time, Dexter raised his voice to Matilda for the first time at his brother’s funeral.
-There is a high probability that a mother’s disease will be passed on to her children! If you knew that clearly, couldn’t you have done something, family planning or whatever? Was there a need to have so many children? why?
At the time, Dexter thought it was all his mother’s fault.
Matilda Loretz, who also had achondroplasia, passed the same genetic trait to three of her five children.
It is said that his mother then looked at him with pitiful eyes.
-Of course, I’m sorry that I passed on your genetic disease to you, Dexter. But didn’t I also pass on to you an even more genius brain?

-Now that… … !
Dexter was speechless there. It was certainly true that his brothers and sisters were all outstanding talents.
And his mother was an outstanding engineer who was praised by her colleagues as a treasure of mankind.
-I won’t give you the stereotypical advice that looks aren’t everything. But I have given you tremendous abilities that outweigh that handicap and the best educational opportunities. They also provided financial support so that they could fully demonstrate their abilities.
Matilda, who had said that, put a cigarette between her beautifully lipstick-covered lips.
-I had no doubt that you, too, could overcome it. Based on my experience, the impact of my genetic disease on my life was extremely minimal.
-… … .
Even Dexter couldn’t deny that. His mother, who was confident in everything, was a beautiful person regardless of her height or appearance.
The successful dating and many fruits of love so far will be the proof.
-He also contributed greatly to the development of humanity by giving birth to many such outstanding talents. Are you coming forward and criticizing me, the child who has benefited the most?
In Matilda’s eyes as she asked that question at that time, there was clearly a faint suspicion about her own words.
However, Dexter, who lost his senses due to sadness at the time, did not have the time to consider his mother’s situation.
-It’s always been like that! You always think you are above everyone else! That’s why you’re so insensitive to other people’s trivial circumstances or feelings of frustration!
After shouting that for the last time, Dexter kicked down the door of the funeral home and ran out into the rain.
And until I came to the workshop, I never contacted my mother again.
“… “If I think about it now, it was an immature act.”
In response to Dexter’s weak voice, Seongjin nodded and responded.
“uh. “Anyway, that’s a bit bad of you.”
“iced coffee. Of course, I was very young at the time and could not fully understand the sadness of a mother who lost her child. Perhaps her mother was comforting herself like that. But now, the gap between my mother and I is too deep to turn around… huh?”
Then Dexter looked at Seongjin with puzzled eyes and twitched his nose.
“But wait. what? “Why am I even telling you this?”
“hmm? Well, well… … .”
Isn’t it because I have hidden years of experience and am a person who can depend on others? In fact, even in the imperial palace, everyone gives me life advice.
As Seongjin shrugged to himself, Dexter got up from his seat and started rummaging through the desk.
“Anyway, what I will say is that I don’t know much about the Pangea Chronicle. However, you can check information about games released through the Impulse Soft site.”
And what he took out among the miscellaneous things was a small laptop.
You have a computer?!
Seongjin barely held back from almost shouting like that.
“that… “Is it something from Earth?”
“Okay. The old man’s workshop is a very special space, so even though it’s on a different level, it even provides great Wi-Fi. “You can easily connect to Earth’s satellite.”
When he presses the power button, a blue light that Seongjin is familiar with comes on on the small monitor.
The logo and menu were a little unfamiliar, but the way it worked was exactly the same as what was seen in Seongjin’s world a long time ago.
“… … .”
Seongjin was filled with strange emotions and kept his mouth shut, but Dexter, who did not realize it, continued speaking while being absorbed in operating the laptop.
“The people of Earth will never be able to endure a world without the Internet. It’s like a Kornsim who has been separated from his clan and falls into a deep depression. Of course, as an ordinary Delcross person, you won’t understand.”
Click, click.
When Dexter opened an Internet window and typed in a few search terms, the Impulse Soft official website and the Pangea Chronicle service site appeared side by side.
“… … !”
And there was a lot of information that Seongjin was looking for.
Founder of Impulse Soft. Interview with the game developers. Development story and future update direction, etc. And even a diverse user community!
“Attack… … .”
Among them, [Game Strategy] appears in most communities. Seongjin couldn’t take his eyes off her laptop screen as if he were mesmerized.
“Because it is a popular game, there are many specialized communities. But they say the most active one is the free bulletin board on the official site?”
Dexter, who did not find it strange at all, explained that Seongjin was reading mixed English and Korean texts without difficulty.
“Free Board?”
“okay. “You can easily access it through the customer support menu within the game, so users may not necessarily have to look for other communities.”
Dexter answered as he clicked around the site.
‘Going into the game menu… … .’
This probably does not apply to Guest ID users. The menu was scattered all over the place, and most of the parts were not translated properly.
Seongjin swallowed dry saliva and asked.
“Hey, Dexter. Just in case, can you create a Pangea Chronicle account here too?”
Then the engineer, who had no idea what would happen next, nodded innocently.
“Ah, maybe it’s possible? “It’s a little different from Earth, but there is a machine in the workshop that provides a much higher level full dive.”
“okay… … .”
Seongjin answered like that and put his hand on Dexter’s shoulder.
“Dexter.”
Cheoeok.
Dexter, startled by the sudden pressure, turned around and saw the face of an evil boy with long slitted corners of his mouth.
“Aren’t you tired of staying in the workshop all day? “Why don’t we get some fresh air, play a game together, and become friends?”
“what? I’m a busy body. Games… … .”
“contract. “I will help you uncover the identity of the Pangea Chronicle.”
“… … !”
You were fooled.
Dexter was blushing from the belated realization that came to him, and Seongjin gently patted his shoulder as if to comfort him.
“It won’t be a bad story for you either. “I’ll change your mood and give you a comfortable bus ride with your friends.”
The smile of the boy who said that was truly bright.
But why? The moment he faced that face, Dexter felt an unknown chill running up his spine.
And that night.
The silent villains who gathered at Pangea Chronicle and waited for Seongjin welcomed a new party member following the newbie.
A red fox, a long-necked deer, and an octopus face each other. A small mole being dragged by a mountain goat waved its hand awkwardly.
[Well, nice to meet you all, friends. My name is Dexter.]
