Free Life ~Record of the Struggle of a Different World General Merchant~

Let's talk a little bit about the old days.

"Earth" is what I do in the world right now. It's me, but I was a regular high school student about four years ago. Every day, I go to school, play with friends, stay up late and sleep... he was like anywhere.

No, a little different?

I don't have any hobbies like this, and I'm not that good at studying. I can't stop talking and boiling the guys in my class, and in the first place, I wasn't the kind of person to move very aggressively.

While I'm at it, I think he was a boring person.

I didn't even think about what it would be in the future, and every day, I just live without anything... I was that guy.

But those guys weren't. Those guys, good or bad, were full of vitality. There was just enough momentum to move people.

Lotus Kuramoto.

Yusuke Ueshima.

My friends had a lot of things I didn't have.

"Damn, I can't find it."

That day, we were back from school and immersed in another world Online, a virtual reality.

In this day and age, few guys are like playing outside. Because real is too scarce compared to virtual.

You can't move like a hero in a special shoot, and you can't fly in the air. You can't shoot a gun, you can't pilot a giant robot.

When did they say "Real is fucking gay"... so much so that we humans chose virtual reality as our closest playground.

"Well, that's what it is, isn't it? What, it feels good if you think it's a walk?"

"I'm out, handsome. Speak up. You're handsome to the word, aren't you? Ah, it's a virtual walk..."

Even though I say bump, Yusuke doesn't stop. He was looking forward to today, too. Fix the rucksack discrepancy for the expedition you carried and move on to the "untouched district".

That was the big update day for Another World Online. The massive monthly updates witnessed changes to the Gachapon lineup, new events and quests, the addition of monsters and dungeons to items.

One of them is the addition of "untouched districts" that cannot be displayed in the MAP.

The space between the city and the city expands, but it's a land where no one can display details on the MAP without stepping foot. Many of them are grasslands and wilderness, and there are rarely labyrinths that are not notified at the time of the update.

That's exactly what we're after.

Attack untouched labyrinths ahead of other players. That's all I looked forward to and kept walking in the wilderness where nothing was found.

Even "untouched districts" or just labyrinths don't show up in MAPs, so you can sell your location high to informants... most importantly, the labyrinth, where no one has stepped in, had the charm of a snowfield on one side.

It's not a dirty labyrinth in someone's footsteps, it's the only labyrinth we know...... it was motivated enough to jump out into the wilderness, even with an outrageous look at the odds of being able to find a labyrinth in a vast "untouched district".

But the world doesn't work that well. I walked to walk, two and a half hours...... speaking of what I did in the meantime, I just knocked down a cluttered field monster after a walk.

That day was also likely to end up simply providing the players with a map of the "untouched districts".

"That's funny... it was information that it was around here... that the informant, the subcontractor in charge of this district... that's crazy..."

Tired of walking on boulders, we had a small pause in the "untouched neighborhood", which was getting stained by the sunset.

Put your hips down on the rock and remove the fatigue-recoverable coffee from the item section. In the meantime, Yusuke, the proponent of this expedition, repeatedly said bumps and "weird, weird".

You were so confident, or you couldn't pull it off as the originator, Yusuke pulled us around without saying, "Let's stop it today". Ren, too, just laughs when she says, "Let me make you like Yusuke today". At that time, I remember how tired I was.

"You know, these are the days. Okay, what do we do? Time to log out?

So subtle ~ prompted me to log out. Actually, it's supper time. I thought it was time to log out and my family would scold me in every house.

Still, Yusuke says he hasn't gotten up yet.

"Hey do it! Just a little more... ah"

Think about it, if I had logged out then, I wouldn't have been in a situation like this right now... yes, if Yusuke, who stood up, had logged out before I found that dungeon.

"Awesome, yeah, yeah!! Isn't that a pile of treasure!? There are so many items not even on the wiki!

"Monsters are just the ones with teeth too! This is a hit, ha!

"Besides, I like it when we're first!

As Yusuke descended the stone staircase found in the rocky shadows of the wilderness, there was a large metal door tied up in chains and locks that puffed air like that.

You couldn't think of anything else at that point. I can't believe it's a logout, but I was obsessed with unlocking the rice even after I said I could eat it, and the momentum blew the rusty door into the inside of the dungeon.

It wasn't a dungeon that would ever betray us for raising our breasts to expectations.

A treasure chest has rare items, a strong monster you've never seen from the end of the aisle, and a room called a room has an instant death trap. I think Ren and even me remained excited about the development of blood-boiling meat dancing in every sense, not just Yusuke, who loved the game.

Yes, the three of us were savoring the ultimate in "Another World Online" fun.

So whoever says it's "It's already dinner, let's log out" doesn't do VRMMORPG in the first place.

Not to mention, we were playing this game in until the level was kansted. I just couldn't sleep tonight until I dominated this labyrinth, crossing my sword with the monster that attacked me and proceeded to the back.

And the deepest part of the basement on the fifth floor... between those dungeons of BOSS, our lives are about to take a turn.

"Is that...? There's no boss, is there?

Waiting for us to step in between the BOSS, which is somewhat in a shallow hierarchy, was a space of ni ten meters square without the Lord.

There's a pedestal in the back with glowing orbs on it, but that's it. BOSS, which was supposed to exist in any dungeon, could not see shadows or shapes.

"Nah, too bad. You're a shoulder blush."

Neighbor Len looks sorry and laughs. My childhood habit is because I love to move my body even in virtual reality... Fighting strong monsters is one of the big reasons Ren does "Another World Online".

"No, no, wait, wait. The MAP says it's between BOSS, right? I'm sure if you do something about that orb, the event will start."

That said, it is time for Yusuke to approach the orb.

I'm usually just a little bit of a bibby Yusuke, but just this time, curiosity won, or I was moving myself. "Come on, it's dangerous," Yusuke said, letting Bittersmiling Ren get his thumbs up and approaching the orb with a slip of foot.

Eventually, when those hands were supposedly about to touch the orb... between the BOSS, they were distorted.

"Hey, what the heck!?

That's whose voice it was...... I didn't quite get it when I lost my sense of equilibrium in the grumpy, distorted room and accidentally got on my knees.

That's not the only way the anomaly fits. In anticipation of the three of us losing our hips, the distorted room began to pulse like a creature's gut.

Dunn, Dunn, between pulsating BOSS... I fall into the illusion as if eaten by a giant demon, and finally fall to the floor. No, it felt like my body was floating fluffy, as if even the floor was gone.

My vision becomes distorted. The beat in the room overlaps with my beat.

Top and bottom, floor and ceiling, distorted by distortion and everything melds together...... at that moment, bam! And it sounded like it could be played, and it could be played between BOSS.

"" "Uhhhhhhhhh!!!?

And we're falling.

Did the floor fall out or was it such a trap... anyway, it was falling downstairs. Slightly dazzling, the sight that still goes around, the feeling of intoxication that makes me feel nauseous...... is that why?

I didn't realize where we were falling right now.

"Gu, ku... Huh! Hey, what the fuck!?

At that time, I heard my voice clearly. Len's voice, which should be falling together right around the corner, also popped into my ear with her eyes turned.

"Empty!? Is it empty, here it is!?

The sky... I narrow down my ambiguous consciousness to that word.

Blue on one side and a burning light sphere...... oh, the sky. It's definitely empty.

My vision shows a blue sky with no clouds and a bright, shining sun.

"What, empty!?

Yusuke also raised his bare voice about whether he had gone home to me.

Well, I don't think we have a choice. 'Cause we were... deep underground, deep in the labyrinth, and we were over enough to feel the roundness of the Earth. And I was in the middle of falling upside down looking at the ground.

"Yabe yeah yeah!!!? What the heck?!!!?

"Die!? This is definitely dying!!

Me and Yusuke panicking instantly. I got selflessly obsessed with "Log Out! Logout!!" because, "GM Call!!" but shouting was making my hands and feet twitch.

Though I thought I was still in virtual reality at this time, the confusion caused by the anomaly of being jumped from underground to the sky and, above all, the wind pounding on my body and the vivid floating feeling of my belly making me not think of it as a virtual reality where physical death could not exist.

In doing so, the horizon becomes flatter and the surface becomes clearer and clearer.

The moment of clash was imminent.

"Yusuke! [Physical Mitigation] Shielded!!

If Ren hadn't instructed us then, we'd be dead.

Well, at this time, Ren still thought it was happening in Another World Online... but without that voice, we would have wanted to flatten out by now.

"[Orihalcon Skin]!

In the [Physical Mitigation], Yusuke, a magician, declares the most powerful skill activation.

Then, our bodies wrapped up in sharp, angular barriers like crystal columns... less air resistance for that matter and more drop speed.

"Oh, that?

"" Rencha!!!!

The Shinkansen isn't our eyes. We're approaching the ground at speed. Until the clash, there were no more seconds left.

"Well, we'll figure it out. Ooh, ooh, ooh!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Ceciluuuuuuuuuu!!"

Thus, we the members of "Free Life" ….

Together, I fell into the other world "Earth".
