「ERROR DETECTED」
CREAK—
A white door opens in the middle of space.
"Damn it... another one."
Looking up, he sees stars flickering in and out of existence.
"Open console."
「HELLO NARRORATOR」
"Status of curroption... Location, U 53."
「UNIVERSE 53

"Hm..."
Putting his hand on his chin, he looks up at the corruption.
"What to do, what to do..."
While thinking of a solution, he notices a glint in the area he's looking at.
"What the hell is that."
Gliding to the left, a giant spike-like object flies onto where he once was.
The area where the tip was started to change, turning impossible.
"Found you."
As he grabbed onto it, the spike retreated back up.
Holding on tight, he was dragged along with it as the door closed... vanishing.
○ ○ ○
Finally, after some time, he reached the edge of what could be considered the edge of a universe.
A regular border is perfectly clear and strong, this one has multiple holes in it, seemingly due to the constant assault.
He lets go of the spike as it leaves the border.
"Alright then, let's see which concept is causing it now."
He looks through one of the holes.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
「Geocentrisism.」
- Belief that the earth is the center of the universe.
Ofcourse.
Its body ever-changing, a characteristic of a concept that was never meant to exist.
It stands in the Inbetween of inbetweens, the outside of the universes.
"Well, i guess i have to do this myself."
♤—♤—♤—♤—♤—♤—♤—♡◇♧
Walking through the town aimlessly like always, my brother had that same dumb expression.
"Its been three days!"
"So."
"When are we going to get out like you said!"
"Uh... i dunno."
That head looks mighty slapable.
Continuing our walk, we reach a building.
"Where is this?"
"A Guild."
Looking at him with an 'what the hell is that?' Expression.
"You thought i was doing nothing this entire time?"
"Yes."
"...well, a guild is like a corporation."
He began explaining it to me as we walking inside.
"You need an adventuring license to register in one."
"Uhuh..."
"Then you can do quests on the board, like a fantasy. Once you finish a quest, the guild logs it to the IAAL for you."
"IAAL?"
"The International Association of Adventuring Licensing."
"Oh."
When we entered, it felt like a bustling subway.
"Hold on."
Grabbing my hand, we began winding through the crowds and made it to the reception.
"Sialap, ye awq rad meg uita bor?"
□♡◇♧
"Hello, what can i do for you?"
Making it to the reception, the receptionist began to talk as we stood there.
"Yes, we would like to join."
"Understood, you wish to join the Peerless Heights Guild?"
"Yes, i am a G rank and she is my apprentice."
"Understood, have you ever been in other guilds?"
"No."
"Have you been arrested before?"
"No."
"Have you any other information that we would need?"
"I think that's all of it."
"Understood, just sign here."
After the questions, she took out a paper and handed it over to me.
"Does she need to sign too?"
Pointing to my sister, she shook her head.
"Your apprentice does not need to sign if she has consented."
"Ah, ok."
After signing, we headed to the board.
"Did'nt you say we wouldn't be doing quests because we would be leaving before the three months?"
"That was before i realized we have no money."
"How could you realize that now?"
"Whoopsies."
"Urgh, hurry up and choose one."
Impatient as always, she urged my to pick on faster.
"Why dont you help me out?"
The face she made, it made me question my own intelligence.
"Scratch that, lets just get a simple G difficulty quest."
Taking one of the papers that had a G difficulty question.
——————
〔G rank difficulty〕
Help! I need to get someone to help me with selling at my stand :(
Location - Uniea Street, Apple stand.
Reward - 10cc
——————
"What is it?"
"Just being an employee..."
Deciding to choose this one, we headed back to the reception.
I place the quest down on the desk.
"Will this be the one you choose?"
"Yes."
"Alright."
She stamped it with a big 'I'.
"Once you are done, return with proof and iwill stamp it again."
"Alright."
"Bro, hurry up!"
Hearing my sister call me, i turn around as i grab the paper off the desk.
"Coming!"
We both head out the door.
"Alright then, where are we going?"
"Somewhere called Uniea street."
"Where is that?"
"I don't know."
She starts to look more pissed.
"Let's go looking then."
We began asking around—as in, me only—and soon we found it.
Alot of stalls were set up so we had to find one that sold apples.
"Hang on... there are five apple stalls."
She pointed out as i noticed afterwards.
"Well i'll go ask around."
She followed me around as i began asking each stall.
"Oh yeah, that girl, she is right over there."
Thankfully, everyone knew who put up the quest.
"Alright sis, lets begin working."
We headed to where i guy pointed.
□□◇♧
Bodies strewn around, 'J' sat on his thrown.
Infront of him, a few meters away, was a woman...
Her head was a miniature star with an eye in the middle of her head, her body gaseous as it carries astroids, a blackhole in the middle of her stomach and a ring encapsulating her head.
She holds the body of... Geocentrisism.
"Sol, it is nice to see you..."
"Tuero..."
Her eye narrows.
"Are you finally ready to return...?"
"You already know the answer."
"For you are my other side, so why?"
She lets go.
"Do not say that. You, who fired and attacked me, have no right to say that."
"It was a mistake. Please come back."
"No, i need to help someone."
She turns and leaves.
"I guess I've become no different than you... Tuero."
With those final words, she left 'J'—known as Tuero?—alone as he slopes down.
□□□♧
While helping my brother with carrying more apples to the stand, i see...
「HELLO [USER]」
"..."
"Whats wrong?"
"???????"
My brother noticing my face, asks me a question while i couldnt even understand what was going on.
「COLLECTING DATA」
"I-its that thing... the e-error detected thing! B-but it's saying that its collecting data...?"
"..."
My brother also made the same shocked face as me.
