Chapter 24

The birth of the game console

Letโ€™s define the magic that writes information directly onto corpses as โ€œnecromancy.โ€

And this familiar of mine falls into the ambiguous category of โ€œa living being turned into a magical tool.โ€

Wait a minuteโ€ฆ

Monstersโ€ฆ

Yes, monsters have magic stones within their bodies. Some monsters even use magic, with the magic stone acting as their computation device.

The familiar I am trying to create is a living being with a magic stone embedded within it.

Doesnโ€™t this mean that monsters are essentially the same as familiars?

โ€œA living being turned into a magical toolโ€ is both a monster and a familiar.

So, creating a familiar is equivalent to the technology used to create monsters.

In that case, letโ€™s provisionally define this as โ€œsummoning magic.โ€ Though itโ€™s not exactly summoning, the term works for the image it conveys. Besides, I plan to implement a summoning system eventually! I just prepared the hardware (the summoned familiar) first! The software will come later!

โ€ฆI explained all this to Ada.

โ€œAmazing!โ€

Ada is basically a โ€œthatโ€™s amazingโ€ machine.

Itโ€™s a mystery whether she truly understands.

On the other hand, Margaret-Teach, who was listening, had a face that looked like avant-garde art due to the gestalt collapse.

Interesting.

Letโ€™s also define the magic used to create magical tools as โ€œenchantment magic.โ€

So, I just need to write information into the magic stonesโ€ฆ

โ€ฆHmm.

Speaking of which, I want to make money too.

So far, Iโ€™ve been selling produce from a hidden field in the village to distant merchants. I havenโ€™t sold any exotic vegetables not yet available in this area, but I have sold honey and mead. These fetched quite a good price, and after sharing the profits with my brothers, I now have a little under a hundred gold coins (equivalent to a little over ten million yen).

But thatโ€™s not enough.

Forming a faction requires a lot of money.

So, Iโ€™ll make products.

First, I layer a glass plate and a plastic plate.

I place plastic on both sides.

I install buttons on the plastic.

Embed a magic stoneโ€ฆ

And then write a pre-made game into it.

โ€œThat should do it. โ€˜File Print: Tetros.'โ€

Press the start buttonโ€ฆ

Te-te-re-te-te-re-te-te-re-te-te-re-te-te-re-re-re-re-te-te-te

Alright, itโ€™s done.

Itโ€™s a famous falling block puzzle game!

โ€œAda, please debug this.โ€

โ€œDebug?โ€

โ€œOhโ€ฆ if it breaks while youโ€™re using it, let me know.โ€

โ€œYes!โ€

Will it sell, thoughโ€ฆ?

Considering the high illiteracy rate in this world, a complex RPG might not sell well. But an intuitive puzzle game that even a fool can play might just workโ€ฆ

By the way, the entire process I just went through is saved, so I can mass-produce these at a rate of several hundred per second if needed.

โ€œโ€ฆNo, not thereโ€ฆ no, thereโ€ฆโ€

Ah, Teach is mumbling while watching Ada play Tetros.

โ€ฆShe wants it.

โ€œTeach, Iโ€™ll give you one.โ€

โ€œThank you so much!!!!โ€

She looks so happy.

Interesting.

In the carriage, the two are intensely playing Tetros.

โ€œMargaret-sama, whatโ€™s your high score?โ€

โ€œFufufu, just over a hundred thousand.โ€

โ€œAmazing! Do you have any tips?!โ€

โ€œWell, if you stack like thisโ€ฆ and clear with the long piece, you get a higher score.โ€

โ€œWow! Is that so?!โ€

I interjected into their cheerful conversation.

โ€œSo, any improvement suggestions?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s fun!โ€ said Ada.

Well, sheโ€™s easy to please.

And Teach?

โ€œWellโ€ฆ the main issue is that itโ€™s โ€˜too fun.'โ€

Hmm?

โ€œThere will certainly be fierce competition to get one. It will cause quite a commotion.โ€

Not just at a level of selling items, huh?

โ€œAt first, it will sell to enthusiasts, but as word spreads, everyone in the town will want one.โ€

Is it really that popular?

โ€œIf you change the magic stone, you can play different games, and Iโ€™m planning to add a multiplayer function.โ€

โ€œYou should stop! It will cause chaos due to its popularity!!โ€

โ€œBut I can produce a hundred per second.โ€

โ€œOhโ€ฆ well, in that caseโ€ฆ but how will you handle the sales?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll hire people.โ€

โ€œI seeโ€ฆ then, should I prepare contacts through the Carlenheit family?โ€

โ€œYes, please.โ€

โ€œCertainly, it will be profitableโ€ฆ By the way, what other games do you have?โ€

Wellโ€ฆ

Back in my student days, I used to make indie games.

During elementary school, a software called โ€˜Flashโ€™ was popular, and I made games and animations with it, posting them on online forums and my own website.

In middle school, I aimed to become a serious programmer and sold a software called โ€˜RPG Tsukuruze,โ€™ which sold very well, giving me confidence that I could make it as a programmer.

In high school, I founded a computer club, where we showcased a large-scale RPG at the school festival. Its high quality made it a topic of conversation online. The game I made in high school sells for around a hundred thousand yen in the secondhand market.

Even in university, I made games as a hobby, which earned me a decent amount of money.

Though not as much as my main programming job, I could have made a decent living as a game creator.

However, seeing top game creators, I realized that I was more suited to being a programmer.

I was just a talented game creator, not a genius or a prodigy.

โ€ฆStill, I continued making games as a hobby even after coming to this world.

โ€œWhat I have now are โ€˜Tetros,โ€™ โ€˜Poyopoyo,โ€™ โ€˜Rackman,โ€™ โ€˜Super Malio,โ€™ and โ€˜Dragon Quest.'โ€

Theyโ€™re all rip-off games, but during my generationโ€™s Flash game boom, this was typical.

Although the titles are copied, the stories are original.

โ€œWhat are they like?!โ€

โ€œHere, Iโ€™ll give you one.โ€

โ€œYay!โ€

Magical Video Device

Among the magical tools created by the demon Exus, the ones that became particularly famous were the magical refrigerator, magical washing machine, and magical stove, collectively known as the โ€œFour Divine Treasures.โ€

Exusโ€™s magical tools broke the traditional definition of โ€œcombat-related items,โ€ creating a new category of โ€œthings that enrich daily life.โ€ This is well-known in economic history, and the idea of โ€œfirst enriching the people and then enriching the nation through their consumptionโ€ is referred to as the โ€œExus Economy.โ€

A story in which the heroine begs for the enemy's life

Reincarnated into another world! A programmer who died on Earth wakes up to find himself a baby in a fantasy world! Though it may seem like a fantasy world, magic is processed in a computer-program-like manner for some reason! Being an Earth programmer, he can manipulate spells to wield powerful magic! It's cheating! Totally OP! I see, it's a common setup. ...But there's one problem. This guy is fatally unsuited to be the protagonist.
