Long ago, there was said to be a [Tower Reaching the Sky].

Human drive to challenge the authority of the gods.

A story passed down as a warning against it.

As if I had become the god in the story.

I came to decide the fate of a tower with a single finger.

Crumble...

Freya

Yes! I won again!

Theta

I have never seen someone so bad at the 'Block Tower Building' game.

Lumina

Fufufu... To think you'd bet doing the dishes, laundry, and even bathroom cleaning as punishments.

s consideration really knows no bounds!

You

Aaargh!!! How does it make sense that I'm the only one who keeps losing?!

Lumina

That's because, before we met , we'd played countless board games like these!

Freya

Exactly! Our skills are good enough to enter the Humanitas Championship.

Theta

I agree.

Dammit, if only I hadn't 'doubled down'...!!

Could they have cheated?! Or maybe some other foul play...!!??

If that was the case... I will definitely catch them this time!!

You

O-One last time...!

This time, with quadruple the punishment!

Theta

Accept your defeat gracefully, human.

Lumina

Ahahaha, double of double!

Freya

Aw, I'm starting to get bored...

Alright, this is really the last one, okay? The worst player, Big Boss, goes first.

You

...

And just as I pulled a block from the tower and tried to place it on top...

Crumble...

Freya

Bwahaha! You failed again!

Lumina

I guess today just isn't your day, fufufu!

You

This is ridiculous..! How can it collapse when I didn't even touch it?!

Freya

Come on, maybe an earthquake suddenly happened!

—is what you thought I'd say!! You got quadruple punishment, Big Boss!

Theta

...Yes, it was indeed an earthquake.

Lumina

...? Theta, I didn't feel anything!

Theta

The moment the block tower collapsed, a weak vibration was detected by my sensors.

The epicenter is definitely... New City Construction Site.

You

What on earth are they doing at the construction site to make vibrations reach all the way here—

Theta

...!

The vibrations are continuously increasing...!

Lumina

Oh...? It really is.

And at this scale... It feels like something incredibly big, thick, and powerful...

Theta

It does not seem to be a simple earthquake.

The interval is highly consistent... Almost like footsteps—

Freya

Huh? I'm suddenly getting bombarded with messages on my Quartz!

Lumina

What do they say?

Freya

Hold on... There's a photo attached to the message.

...This is?!

The land of success, the overflowing city of capital. The promised utopia of success...

Rosé

Upon the land of those who worship materialism, a god bearing a price tag has descended.

Fufufu... May you be crushed and vanish under your own greed to amass wealth.

...Now, let it begin. My nightmare of the forgotten apocalypse.

Rosé

Go wild to your heart's content, [Umbra Dei].

Lucia

Mmm...! Okay~ Cut, cut!

Hehe, now I just need to pick a few of these to post and I'm done!

Well then... Ehehe~ Thanks for the food!

You

Sure, sure, eat up.

Lucia

Huh...?

Th-This was sponsored for me! Why are you acting like you bought it?!

You

Let's not sweat the small stuff.

...Oh, this is pretty good! A remarkably solid taste.

Lucia

W-Wait a second! Eat slowly, I'm still uploading my post!

You

Look who's being stingy when you can get free food whenever you want anyway...

Lucia

I told you, that's not true! I pay for my own food when I'm not promoting too!

You

Right, then help out someone like me who struggles to get by day to day.

Isn't there something like that in your doctrine? What was it... share with your neighbor?

Lucia

Huh? Um... Was there... a teaching like that?

You

Look it up. I'll dig in while you check.

Lucia

Aaaah! I told you to wait!

I have to keep checking it for a while after posting a picture, ugh...!

Oh, this popped up again? It really must be trending these days.

You

Don't get so obsessed with illusions like trends and fads.

Swapping them out practically every single day... That's just viral marketing throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks.

Lucia

Y-You! Why are you saying that in front of me?!

You're just throwing a tantrum because that Fixer Office account you made last time didn't even hit 10 followers, aren't you?!

You

Wh-Who said that?! Hah! Wow, unbelievable! Un-be-lievable!

Lucia

...Uh, was I too harsh...?

You

N-No way! Ha! Over something like that? Me? As if!

Lucia

A-Alright... I said I'm sorry...

...Ah, speaking of which! You said you work at a Fixer Office, right?

Then take a look at this! Maybe it'll be helpful?

You

I don't need to! I'm not making social media accounts anymore anyway! And I don't care about follower counts!

Lucia

Nooo! Not about your account, about your Fixer Office!

Argh, seriously! Just take a look at this!

You

......What's this?

...Anomalous Phenomena Compendium? What is this?

Lucia

Ah, you've never heard of this? It's huge right now!

It's a super famous occult site called <<Anomalous Compendium>>!

There are tons of urban legends and ghost stories people came up with! I heard there are like 10,000 of them!

You

Oh, people are still into this stuff? Didn't expect you to know about something like this.

Lucia

True... I only found out about it recently because it popped up in my feed.

But it really is super popular! My friends said they've all heard of it!

You

See? You get now how easily trends can be manufactured?

Lucia

...! N-No, it's not! Sure, reading all this text is a bit hard for me too, but...

They post everything as videos nowadays, so it's fun and easy to watch! That's why it's trending!

You

Yeah, yeah. But how is any of this going to help with Fixer work?

Lucia

Ah, right! Hold on a sec...!

...Ah, found it! This one right here, the hottest one lately! Look at this!

You

Sigh, fine. Let me see...

Lucia

Well? What do you think?!

You

Even if you ask me what I think... I don't really have much of an opinion.

So how is any of this supposed to help me?

Lucia

I mean... they say there's no clear solution to this urban legend yet!

No one knows how to solve it yet. , if you figure it out... wouldn't you become super famous?!

Then our Fixer Office will get tons of work, right?! Well? Aren't I smart!

You

Man, there are so many flaws in that logic... where do I even start...

...What do you mean "figure it out"? Are you telling me to write up a solution or something?

Lucia

Nooo, not that! We go there in person!

They say this urban legend actually exists in real life!

You

...What?
