I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 78
Archive Land (1)
Bang!
“Your Highness! This is amazing!”
The door to the Demon King’s office burst open with a rough sound.
Crash
At the same time, the door handle was smashed into the wall due to the violent collision.
The Demon King sighed again.
“Arianna, I told you. Open the door gently.”
“Hehe. Sorry. I keep making this mistake.”
The demon girl scratched her head with a bright smile.
She was temporarily assigned the role of secretary because the original secretary had become too busy.
The child is really kind.
“But more than that, amazing. Did something happen?”
“Oh, right! Look at this, my lord!”
The girl slammed the pile of documents she brought onto the desk.
“This is…?”
“It’s a report sent by the Duke! It’s a total jackpot!”
The Demon King picked up the comprehensive report on top of the pile of documents the demon girl had placed and began to read.
“Even just the pre-registrations have already surpassed one million…?”
“We’re going to be rolling in money now, Your Highness! It’s all thanks to you!”
Since the appearance of [Akashic Archive], the entire game market, except for that game, had stagnated, and the economy of the demons, who were heavily reliant on company operations, had taken a significant hit.
A new breakthrough that could somewhat overcome that bleak situation.
It came back as a huge success.
Demon King Lucia recalled the days when she worked under that devilish director.
Due to security issues, she couldn’t borrow the power of other demons, so she had to solve everything herself, working day and night without sleep, but it was well worth it.
She was the only one who independently obtained the rights and operating rights among the [Archive Land] directly operated by Dream Story.
“It worked out… it really worked out…”
[Akashic Archive], which gained explosive popularity across the continent, recently started a full-fledged business through the Constellation of Wisdom.
They announced the start of a full-fledged business through offline physical goods and expanded into a larger-scale business with the second broadcast, which was a theme park business based on holy sites.
As stories based on real events gained popularity, many people on the continent began to make pilgrimages to the actual sites in those stories,
such as the battlefield where the Constellation [Sacrifice] fought against monsters or the ballroom where the demon engineer met the saint.
The places where Perlerina embarked on her journey after awakening as the Demon King.
Many people began to search for the actual locations that appeared in the game.
The Goddess of Wisdom somehow managed to persuade the leaders across the continent and secured overall rights to each location.
Then, she sent her apostles to start the [Archive Land] project.
Upon seeing the project’s outline, the Demon King was convinced.
This is it.
The best future food source for our demon tribe.
If we could secure the rights to this project, we might be able to earn more money than the current game business.
It was also an opportunity to create enough jobs for the tribe.
Therefore, she entered negotiations to work under the director in exchange for the rights to the demon-related [Archive Land] project.
And instead of herself, who couldn’t participate due to working under the director, she sent her most trustworthy secretary to oversee the project.
Thus, the completed [Demon King Perlerina Land] finished its preparations for opening, and the number of online pre-reservations already filled up a month’s worth of bookings.
It was an achievement worthy of being called a great success.
‘I should thank him for this.’
She had harbored ill feelings towards the director all this time.
Not only did he make her host the official broadcast, but he also made her create the character traits for many regular characters.
He kept calling her when she was busy.
He made her do a lot of overtime work that even small and medium-sized companies wouldn’t make their employees do.
And all of this was directed at none other than the Demon King herself.
There were days when she felt so bitter that she wanted to quit everything, regardless of race or anything else.
But after confirming that all her hardships had been rewarded accordingly, she could finally smile.
With that bright smile, she picked up the terminal to express her gratitude,
“……”
only to have her face contort again at the director’s message that new characters needed to be created.

Late at night
At [Archive Land – Theme Versia] located north of the academy city Leira
“With this, we should be able to quickly make up for the recent decline in sales, right?”
The incarnation of ‘Wisdom’ leaned slightly towards me with her hands behind her back and winked with one eye.
Surrounding us were various attractions and photo spots.
I had merely given a brief explanation of the concept of DiOni Land from my previous life, and they had perfectly recreated everything using the IP of [Akashic Archive].
Even the construction and opening preparations were completed in just a short month.
Was it because I had experienced Earth in that dream space?
No.
Even though the continent of Rayphania is a fantasy dimension filled with magic and mystery, the completion time was beyond imagination.
It truly was the divine ability befitting the name ‘Wisdom’ and the achievement of the apostles.
“Thank you so much, Princess. I never expected you to do such a great job…”
“…For the prince, this much… is nothing.”
Even the physical goods business she started recently was impressive.
She had destroyed all those who had started making and selling goods without my permission, then swiftly recruited factories and dominated the market with her goods.
Even that alone was enough to be shocking, but now, she had created five amusement parks in an instant, each of a different class from the shabby theme parks that existed in this world.
Ah, since one was made by the Demon King, it’s actually four.
“Finally, tomorrow is the opening day.”
Five [Archive Land] parks will open simultaneously across the continent.
[Archive Land – Theme Knight Ren] located in the United Kingdom.
[Archive Land – Theme Magician & Saint] located in the Republic.
[Archive Land – Theme Demon King Perlerina] located in the territory of the Demons.
[Archive Land – Theme Elves’ Harmony] located in the land of the Elves.
And lastly, [Archive Land – Theme Versia] located in the center of the continent.
I don’t know what method she used, but she persuaded various leaders of the continent and obtained land in each of their countries to build [Archive Land].
I’ve heard that all [Archive Land] parks are fully booked for a month, and the most popular one, [Archive Land – Theme Versia], is booked for three months.
The city is bustling with people who came to visit Leira to come here.
From construction to hiring staff, solving legal issues, and promotion.
She accomplished things that an ordinary academy student like me could never even dream of, with such ease.
“Yes, tomorrow this place will be filled with other people.”
She quietly approached me and grabbed my hand.
“Uh… Princess?”
“Tomorrow, we won’t be able to enjoy this place so comfortably.”
Her navy blue eyes looked up at me.
“Today is the last day. Shall we enjoy this dreamlike space, just the two of us?”
From noble mtl dot com
She started pulling me along, running.
“I ordered the kids to clear this place and make sure no one can approach. So right now, it’s just the two of us here!”
I was dazed, being dragged by her.
Roller coasters, merry-go-rounds.
Bumper cars and gyro drops.
We enjoyed our own park to the fullest.
The experiences I had with her in the previous dream world overlapped.
“How is it, Prince? All of this is yours.”
After enjoying all the attractions and savoring dessert, she leaned on me.
“The girl everyone on the continent wants, Versia, is also yours, Prince.”
She took my wrists and wrapped them around her waist.
“P-Princess…!?”
“I like the title ‘Princess,’ but… this time, could you call me by the name you gave me, Prince?”
She wanted to abandon the name Versia, the name of her past life where she defeated the head of the research institute and reclaimed all her friends for a happy ending.
She asked me to give her a name, not anyone else.
At that moment, I suddenly remembered.
Her divinity and the power that was her core.
The word ‘Jihye,’ which is also used as a woman’s name in my hometown, Korea.
“A name that no one in this world knows, not even I know, from your world, Prince.”
“Jihye.”
When I called her name, she giggled and leaned against my chest.
“Yes~ my prince.”
Her face gradually drew closer to mine.
‘Right now, it’s just the two of us here!’
The words she had just said echoed in my mind.
Just the two of us.
In this vast and luxurious place, it’s just the two of us now.
No one else.
That means…!
In the mysterious atmosphere, just as our lips were about to touch.
[The storyteller in the dream shouts with eyes tightly shut, “Big trouble, big trouble!”]
“Se, Seongjwa-nim?”
“…My prince?”
I released my hand from Ji-hye’s waist and instinctively stepped back.
[The storyteller in the dream stomps their feet, saying it’s a big trouble.]
[The storyteller in the dream shouts to come up quickly.]
Big trouble…!
Has someone invaded Seongjwa-nim’s territory again like before?
“Ji-hye… I’m sorry.”
“My prince…!”
“It seems like something big has happened with our Star Lord. Could you wait a moment?”
“…Yes. I can wait as long as it’s for the prince.”
I’ll be there soon, Star Lord!
I immediately focused my mind and projected my consciousness to the heavens.
* * *
The incarnation of the Star Lord [Wisdom], who was left alone, laid the unconscious body of Lian on her lap.
Then she lovingly stroked the bangs on his forehead.
“…Interference from there.”
To interfere with a plan prepared for weeks.
As expected, you too, for our prince.
…Tsk.
Since you saved me, I’ll let it slide this time.
But from now on, I won’t let it slide anymore.
Her navy blue eyes, looking up at the sky, sparkled in the moonlight.
“The Herald of Dreams.”
