Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

Young people aren't obvious these days, and they tend to try to blame people immediately for anything, apparently.

I feel that when I mention that, not only these days, the elderly tend to immediately say, "Young people these days are ~," but sometimes I wonder if what I'm saying makes sense in itself.

For example, if you look at the FAQ (or FAQ or Q&A) on the strategy page of a popular game, one of these questions is mostly mixed.

Q: I can't ○ ○. A bug?

Well, the ○ ○ part is not a thousand different, and the "I can't" turns into "I can't tamper with it" or "I can't get it," but it's a largely similar sentence.

The answer to that is also determined to some extent by the pattern.

Like this, for example.

A: It's not a bug. The instructions for how to do ○ ○ (page ○ ○) are written.

Read the instructions carefully before asking questions.

Normally, bugs are not what they seem, but the more dependent and selfish they are, the more they want to seek out reasons for failure.

Quotes that asked you something you could tell right away without researching or trying it yourself, blaming the bug for everything would still not be cool.

But when I go there, "New Communicate Online" is different.

The "New Communicate Online" strategy page, "Cat Ear Cat Wiki" doesn't say anything about how much you do that.

The first FAQ for "Cat Ear Cat Wiki" just has this.

Q: It's an O-O, is it a bug?

A: It's a bug.

It's so clean that its only four-letter response is all about the game called New Communicate Online.

"Here..."

I stood on a wide road when my vision changed.

On the left hand side of the road you can see the forest and on the right you can see the meadow.

The stands visible nearby and the forest vegetation looked familiar.

Suburbs of the first town, probably next to a low-level area called the beginnings forest.

"Until just now, you were supposed to be in town..."

What the hell happened in that moment?

No matter how infamous' New Communicate Online 'is, they couldn't have been flown anywhere just standing in town.

Besides...

"Maki?"

Even with the call, there's no response.

The phone seems to be dead.

"Is that it? Can't get through?

On the contrary, online connectivity features, including telephones and emails, are no longer available.

I can't call the menu screen.

"Another bug? No, for that..."

It's strange that I won't be able to get through to the phone.

That's not a feature on the game, it's supposed to be a feature that's common to the VR space.

It can't be like being affected by a game bug.

"So there's an anomaly in the VR machine itself...?

Half-heartedly crushed, I tried to open the game menu reflexively.

I have no reaction to that either.

"What do you mean?

My head gave me anxiety.

The game menu should also have the ability to save and load data and log out.

When that becomes unusable......

The wind stroked my cheek as it began to rush.

... the wind?

"No way!"

I rushed to the spot, touching the grass at my feet, the dirt.

Every piece of grass, every grain of soil had a firm feel.

"Impossible...!

When it comes to VR games, their processing power is limited.

It's normal to be out of hand in parts where you don't really need to play games.

"New Communicate Online" is a highly realistic game, but it still didn't reproduce the feeling of the wind stroking your cheeks or the smell of the trees, as I feel.

The ground and plants looked real too, but whether they touched the grass or the soil, they just felt inorganic as if they were touching plastic.

Yet the grass and soil I touched felt no different from reality.

The last Mayuki cry I heard rises to the back of my brain.

'If you like the game so much, you can go even inside the game!

At that time, Maki had something like a "hammer out" in his hand.

According to old stories, "The Hammer of Strike Out" has the power to make it happen by shaking and wishing.

Given the circumstances, I wonder if Maki, who remembered his anger at my words, waved down somewhere leaving the 'hammer out' in his hand screaming that dialogue to his anger.

No way, that's when my wish came true and I'm in the game, for God's sake...

"No, that's the one, no way, right?

Ask no one.

Even myself, I think it's stupid.

But how else do we explain this situation?

When you look at your outfit, leather armor and leather boots.

A shorter sheath of sword and a small pouch are attached to the waist.

Obviously an early piece of equipment for 'New Communicate Online'.

I think of it, reaching for my hip pouch.

As soon as I insert my hand inside, the image of a bottle with red and blue, two types of liquid, spreads in my head.

Selecting the blue one and pulling out his hand, the hand pulled out of the pouch was firmly gripped with a bottle of blue liquid.

... definitely.

This is the Potion for Health Recovery that you have in your possession of three at the start of the game.

"... are you serious?"

Besides, it doesn't look like the size or weight of the pouch has changed even though I took out something that big.

If this happened in the real world, it's a little trick or a paranormal.

"If this is the world of games..."

I made up my mind, and I slammed the potion I took out onto the ground.

The bottle of potion was shattered and scattered over the soil, and at the same time the shards of the bottle splashed around with the noise of a mess......

The blue light spreads around the spot where the potion was tapped, and a second or so late sounds the missing sound effects between them: Porn.

Come closer and make sure, there was not a single bottle fragment where the potion was supposed to have hit, and it had disappeared without shadow or shape.

"Really, this is the 'New Communicate Online' world...?

I look up to heaven in too many things and relieve myself for a while.

"New Communicate Online" had three different ways of using potions.

That is, drink, call, bump.

If you drink the liquid inside, your HP will naturally recover, and if you scratch it, your wound will heal.

And if you want to use it on your buddies in battle or something, just throw the potion at them.

It's impossible in real life, but when the potion is hit hard, it recovers where it was hit and disappears from bottle to bottle.

Even this alone shows that this world is not real, but moved by the logic of the game.

but that's not all.

"New Communicate Online" had a bug that happened when it hit the potion, famous, and still hadn't been fixed.

Commonly known as the 'Sound... Delayed... I can hear you' bug.

There is a bug (or missetting) confirming how to miss something like that, and how the light effects and sound effects that occur when you hit the potion somehow deviate by about a second.

... Yes, as if I had seen it earlier.

"What the hell is this place?"

I can tell you're not playing "New Communicate Online" because of the wind, smell, grass and dirt feel, but the laws of "New Communicate Online" are faithfully reproduced up to item specifications and setup errors.

If that were possible, it seemed most reasonable to think that we had gotten into a real world that mimicked the 'New Communicate Online' world just like it did.

"Huh!? What?!

But my thoughts were forced to interrupt there.

I thought I heard someone screaming from the back of the road.

"No way......"

I only thought for a moment and immediately thought of it.

Suppose this world is the 'New Communicate Online' world….

That might happen.

"Come on!"

I can't help thinking about it.

I rushed to my voice.

My body is much lighter than I imagined.

Yes, definitely.

This feeling, it's not the flesh in reality, it's the feeling when you're moving your body in New Communicate Online.

Could this be......

"Step!"

When I put it in my mouth, the scenery around me gushed.

Intense acceleration strikes me like I can't experience it in real life.

A few moments of floating and landing, then stiffness between a few moments.

After a while I unravel it. Shake off the stiff finish after the move and I start running again.

Apparently, skills can be used normally, too.

Moreover, it can be said that the sense of manipulation of the steps was exactly the same as that of the game is a huge gain.

Steps are basic skills that everyone can use from the start.

But there are just basic skills and numerous usefulness that cannot be truncated.

"Over there!

As he proceeded to ascertain his physical condition, he could not help but see the scene of the dispute.

The first thing I saw was a big ride.

An ancient carriage is stuck in the middle of the road that you will never see in the real world.

And in front of the carriage, people in contention.

Five shadows.

The first thing I see is the back of a woman with a sword, with her back to this one.

Then with the carriage on his back, he saw four lizard humans laying weapons around her.

I'm sure of the sight.

I knew it!

It's already started!

There's that infamous' Lizardman Trap ', an unreasonable starting event that allegedly drove over 90% of the first-time players to death!
