"My powers are [future predictions]. Well, when you know what's going to happen, it's power."
About three months before the delivery of Cross Chronicle Online began, the five had gathered at the Alliance House within the major MMORPG 'FO'.
Kengo, the guild master who directs the guild 'Anonymous', which has only five people, gave his own personal story to the four companions he trusts.
"I've been at my peak for some time since I got this power. 'Cause you see the future, don't you? That's cheesy enough for an ant, isn't it?
"Well...... you sure do"
Singh hammers Kengo, who uses a tannic middle-aged avatar in samurai outfits, and a youth-style avatar in heavy armor.
The two are about 10 years apart, but at the same time they had a pupil relationship in VRMMO, and at the same time they were like best friends.
"The future I can even see can be the limit of an elaborate day ahead... but my psychic powers were still too cheesy. With this power, I can choose the future I want."
Kengo called his own exotic [future prediction] cheats.
The air of the four people who listen to it is heavy.
"I started stock and exchange first using this anomaly... oh, I could still use it to make money then too, right? I only thought about it to the extent that I did it."
In the early days of the appearance of the Gentile, not only Kengo, but the vast majority of humans who expressed the Gentile were pleased.
I can tell you that's not a choice either.
He suddenly gained his own power unlike the others, so it was natural to rejoice.
"Even if I said I could only see the future one day away, the effect was immense. You don't have to tell me how I started investing, do you? I became a billionaire."
"Heh, as long as I envy you."
Marnyan, dressed in a monastic garment using a girl-style avatar, listened to Kengo and uttered a bar-reading dialogue that seemed not to greatly envy him.
Because she also understood that she did not know whether Kengo could call the result happy.
"But that was it. Sure enough, I got the money and I stopped bothering my head about the lack of it. But that's all it was."
"...?
Phil, who was using a small boy avatar, spoke out loud to encourage him to talk about Kengo.
The voice can be adjusted in the initial settings of the game and is a refreshing voice close to the original famous male voice actor.
"My colleagues and dachis at the company who found out I had the money came to me wanting the money, and my relatives, even my parents and brothers, ended up making my money athe. I can't help it. If I were in the opposite position, I would have said, 'You're rich enough to rot, so it's a little good'. I don't think they're scumbags... but that broke my relationship."
Kengo's expression is dark when he says he's starting to athe gold.
The four guild members who saw such a thing fully understood the grief he had lost his bond with.
"This is how I found out. He said that it was best to live the right way. You shouldn't have had ordinary people like me suddenly having money comparable to the state budget. I did too much."
Kengo ultimately concluded that as he exchanged stories with him.
Kengo realized even though he was 24 years younger that there was gold, that there was power, and that it did not necessarily reach happiness.
Without money, I feel painful, and without power, I can be abused.
But Kengo told his companions that he would suffer differently as well.
"Well, by the time I realized that, the country was finally moving and I was being watched, so I couldn't move as freely as before."
A surveillance object is the aliens who have been quarantined because they believe the country is particularly dangerous.
Kengo was perceived as having gained assets that could rock the country by themselves in a short period of time, forcing him to freeze the assets and restrict his actions.
"Then it must be a rusty, cramped day..."
"Sort of. But this is how the nettles get me to do it, so I log in every day... and I can't charge you."
Celes, who uses a feminine avatar with a look like a wizard, whines lonely thinking Kengo's real.
Kengo then spoke in a slightly joking tone, lightening up the field air slightly.
"That's the end of my blah-blah talk. Next, Margnan."
"Ah? Me?
"It would be a great strength to be able to talk without reading the air at times like this. Speak more than you've surrounded the table here."
"Uh, yes, yes... okay, fine. Well, I thought I'd talk more than I've ever been here."
Marnyan, who was ordered to speak to Kengo, started talking about herself as badly as she always did.
"I'm a psychic, too. It's the same surveillance as Kengo."
"I knew it. So what kind of psychic is that?
"... don't be so disappointed when you're refreshed to say what you want to say."
"Isn't that nice? There's nothing to hide from us, okay? Look, Singh thinks so too, right?
"Oh, wow."
Suddenly he was told the story, Singh hammered Kengo while wandering.
Singh doesn't say anything back to Kengo knowing that the reason why a forum for discussion by the Alliance was set up this time was due to his attitude.
"... my psychic powers are [reading minds]. The ability to read what people think... but only people within 3 meters of me can read, so I don't know what you're thinking."
Hearing a snort of "ho ho ho" from a guild member who learned of Margnan's incompetence, she gave a further supplementary explanation to solve the misunderstanding.
"Really? I wondered if Margnan's speedy speculation could be attributed to that."
"It's my natural temperament to guess. I'll take it as a compliment for now."
"Thank you very much," Marnyan said sarcastically to him after receiving Singh's remarks.
Whatever it was, the interaction now became a blow of hatred for Singh, who had been trying to think it over by linking it to the anomaly, making her face bow down.
"... shall we end this story of Margnan for now? Next, Ceres."
"Yeah, that's good."
Kengo laughed bitterly as he watched Sin look depressed and spoke to Marnyan next to Ceres.
"As you can see, I'm also a psychic, and I've been given a psychic named [Essentially]. In my case, it's always active, and it even applies to games."
"This one was as expected."
Kengo nods when he hears Ceres explain.
In the game she never missed an attack no matter how far away the target was, and was a ranged attack specialist who was even called 'Sniper' despite using magic.
But with that unlikely accuracy, Celes' player skills hit the offense with suspicious eyes from around him, and there's been a constant rumor that some cheat might be involved, and he's started acting with the Kengos who have similar experiences.
And herself, this power is reopening to the point that it may be a form of cheat, so I'm not particularly shocked or anything like that when I hear a convincing voice from an Alliance member.
Her power was no longer an area where it could be said that it was a player skill.
"I tried to start bowing and crae shooting after I got this power, but the gaze of those watching beside me was too harsh, so I quit. I don't have much use for this power because it looks competent. Unless you start running a sneaky assassin."
"I guess so..."
If humans shoot through targets and targets better than they have been since the beginning of the competition, it will have to shrivel.
Sin and the others could only pity the competitors who saw the non-standard presence of Ceres.
"I wonder if that's how much my story is. Sin turns it one last time... Phil, you go next."
"Mmm...... ok"
The girl using the boy-style avatar, Phil nodded small with a male voice.
"I'm also an alien, and the alien is [Precision Operation]. I think it's because of this that the game got better, too, so I'm with Mr. Ceres."
Phil revealed that he was a psychic and claimed that his power made the game better.
"That's why Mr. Singh used to compliment me... but of course I was happy... but I was a little sorry"
She also told her that she was honestly feeling unhappy about what she was praising as she stroked Phil's head as she swallowed quickly.
"You were... sorry, Phil. I didn't realize you were bothering me like that... I'm so sorry"
"! Yes, no... Mr. Singh is not bad!... the bad part is I've never been able to tell you."
When Singh lowered his head, Phil blamed himself in a slight panic.
The possibility that Phil was an alien was somewhat imagined by the other four due to his (her) condition.
But until this time, no one had predicted what the hell Phil was capable of.
"Well, that's good. Let's water each other... then it's your turn, Singh, for the last time"
…………
Shin, with his head up, presses Kengo slightly harder on his face.
VR technology has a reputation for accurately reading a player's emotions and putting them on the face.
I could see a clear hesitation from Sin's expression.
But Singh opened his heavy mouth thinking that Kengo, who set the scene up, and his friends who went out with it and exposed their secrets, could unravel the troubles they had.
"I'm..."
