VR (Virtual Reality), now about half a century after its completion. It was now a technology that had to be in the global economy.

The school is connected to the internet from home on a dedicated device and attends classes on VR. Schools created in virtual reality with no danger in boarding and dropping out and no cost of maintaining school buildings were driving away schools in the real world.

The job also greeted the counterparty from virtual reality, and by replacing everything with an electronic program, expenses such as documents were also eliminated. Buildings such as headquarters are also overwhelmingly cheaper to rent company servers from integrated facilities that manage VR-only servers than their maintenance costs.

VR technology continues to evolve even more dramatically because all but physical demand is sufficient in virtual reality.

Of course, there's no way the gaming industry is blind to this technology. Although a little expensive equipment is still needed, it still boasts such prevalence that it is often given in adult celebrations, etc., in general families.

So many VR-only games were developed for the difference in time.

Sakamori Minato was also a common young man who was given a VR device for such an adult celebration.

Enter a normal high school, leave a normal university, and join a regular company.

Work is carried out at home by means of a VR device received for adult celebration. During the break, I ate my mother's freshly made lunch and went back to the company with the VR device again.

He was a general small and medium-sized company with no commuting time and little overtime, spending his days without any particular dissatisfaction.

There is an online game called "Arc Earth Online".

Its beginnings were very quiet, and the closed beta was over when it started and realized at some point.

It was in the commercial of the show I was playing at midnight that Sakamori Journal learned about such an underwater online game when I was used to the company's business and could afford a lot of time.

The CM had no sound, no movement, but only a VR-specific access code was shown for fifteen seconds.

When you start the device and connect it there with a focus of interest, the title 'Arc Earth Online' comes to mind in a virtual reality where all directions are white. Only two rows later.

Open beta start

Download

Just the letters.

Unflattering posture, I don't hate it. Touch the download if you think so. And selecting 'Yes' will start the installation.

Without the background texture, the characters in the general font alone were all blind to what kind of game it was, graphics and worldview.

But the book was attracted to something. Something that is somewhat close to coercive moves and manipulates the right hand, as cannot be explained by the mouth.

The installation ends in about fifteen minutes. If you start it up quickly, you'll see a home screen with a real world background, as if it were a CG.

The appraisal, excited by the gap, touched on the avatar creation.

Thus began the days of "Arc Earth Online" marination of the Sakamori Monument.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ………………

Four years after the official service of "Arc Earth Online" began. Game ads, etc. were rarely seen in game magazines or online, but they spread by word of mouth, with players approaching a significant number of major online games. Rather, it's so weird that there are so many people here but they don't go online.

The book, which started with Open Beta, made a name for itself as a veteran player.

The content of the game is a classic fantasy, but its overwhelming freedom will be greatly appreciated.

The only thing was the most incredible thing about online gaming.

That's an operation.

There are only two upgrades within four years, and I don't even know the name of the developer unless I know the operating policy because there is no official home page.

Including that, however, the appeal of the game is overwhelming, and it would be better if you let it go. At the end of the day there are even people called, etc.

But Kuen was one of those optimists. Rather, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is almost complete from the beginning, and there is no bug. Then the idea is that we shouldn't mess around poorly.

On that day, Kusai was to crusade a flock of demons that appeared near the border of his country. Such crusade missions are common, and the appraisal is carried out on duty with other players belonging to the country.

And this time it's forensic duty.

On the way out of the tower I use as a base and to the border I like it, a call from the real world sounds, and at the same time my sister's tall voice sounds, telling her that's dinner time.

Once you log out, you have dinner and once again wear a VR device on your head to dive into virtual reality.

I tried to launch the game from the home landscape and noticed that an email was coming.

When I opened it, the content was that VR money for Arc Earth Online billing would expire soon.

This was only purchased for 1,000 yen at the start of the service and another 2,000 yen a month later.

Ark Earth Online also had a thing called billing items, just like any other online game. Even so, it's like supporting a little gameplay, not weapons, items, etc. that can be used in the game.

One of these billing items, the 'Cosmetic Box', which allows you to change the appearance of your avatar, was a classic product that is not an exaggeration to say that all players are buying. Of course, I also bought the appraisal.

The "cosmetic box" cost 500 yen each, and when used, the avatar appearance can be reset, but the reason why this sells was the abundance of parts chosen.

Thousands of appearance parts even at the start of the official service, but you can choose from tens of thousands of parts in this' cosmetic box 'reset. It was no longer common sense for all players to login and reset to their preferred appearance after making an appropriate avatar. Spending two days a day on this reset can also be considered common sense.

And the avatar created by the Phantom is a majestic wizard wizard wizard. He accumulates a white beard in his gray hair and is intoxicated by the appearance of a sophisticated magician as . The photograph was also created over a day without leaking into the example.

And the name of the avatar was taken from my favorite wizard's name, the principal who appears in the film of the world's greatest hits, and the wizard who comes in the film of adventure around the ring.

His name is Dumblrf.

The class is a summoner.

I chose a magician at the start of open beta but I had no idea how to master witchcraft, I could only use about [witchcraft: flame] that I remember from the beginning, and all I had to do was even hit him with a cane.

No matter how many levels you take, you don't remember witchcraft, and you don't even have anything like instructions or tutorials.

It was a hell of a game content that was suddenly laid off by the world and totally abandoned, but it was fun again as I explored it myself. But no matter how much I looked, I couldn't master magic.

So I made it another magic class with a reset that I made when I was officially sa-bis.

In addition to being able to serve by defeating and contracting the enemies of the spiritual system, summoning by completing a dedicated summons quest was difficult to acquire, but the method was only a little on the dedicated bulletin board, so I know the basis.

So I was a summoner.

There have been many dissatisfactions with the lack of much explanation even since the formal service began, but a tremor runs in the game inspired by one player.

It's a system where conditions are tough but players can build a nation if they achieve it.

Become king, develop city and prepare armaments. Players were enthusiastic about the fact that they could spin with their own hands events such as stories that they now only see in their creations, such as invading other countries, building and defending fortifications, and hiring mercenaries.

Furthermore, major events at the hands of those players will be added to the arc chronology, which can be viewed from the menu.

From then on, those who burn their ambitions and build their country, those who serve their country longing for its players, those who love freedom and become adventurers. Those who founded the secret society, as well as other merchants, mercenaries and, at the end of the day, assassins, enjoyed a wide range of plays, and grievances gradually went down in flames.

Moreover, freedom was not its' degree '. For example, there are many types of weapons, protective equipment, medicines, etc., including the Epic level, but they can also create entirely new items depending on the player's ingenuity. I was able to create epic classes and things beyond that.

So much so that they say that there is nothing that can't be done in real life and games.

Plenty embedded in the pleasure of blacksmithing, one player had become famous enough for all players to know its name, and one sword had been traded for millions.

Some players have developed woodworking from there to building a castle.

Those who were obsessed with digging holes dug hot springs and are now the former tighteners of the giant hot springs district.

A master who has set up a dojo to teach swordsmanship he has knitted himself is a friend of the book.

What skills do you have and what can you do? The players have challenged a variety of things, both of which have been successful. That system, with no limits in sight, spread to the communicator.

Those who devised new sports using art, those who realized the romance of piracy, those who gather information from all over the continent in one hand and cross dangerous bridges as informants.

Among them, someone created a skills list that separated and statistically counted the many skills that were overflowing by classification. I visited each player to learn more about technology and put it together in a book.

Published as a skill list book, the book became a huge bestseller and built tremendous wealth.

And, in fact, Dumbleff is also a great man who developed some special technologies. One is the technology of trial and error results to compensate for the shortcomings of being a magician.

That technology is second class. The book is also a magician, a magical proximity class, besides the main summoner. This was a class of melee in fairy arts, and the way to master that fairy arts was various trainings.

I get stuck in a waterfall, I hang myself against a tree for a day, keep walking against the storm. Etc.

Incidentally, the magician's method of mastering witchcraft, which was found a month or so after the start of the service, is to burn the paper depicted by the demon squares paired with the catalyst in initial witchcraft [Magic: Flame]. The problem is that more than one catalyst is needed or the paper of the demon cube itself is barely out, so this method of mastery, which burns everything out if you make a mistake, is not something you can try quickly.

From what I found out, in the end, it was something I couldn't easily remember.

In addition to the cosmetic box, there is another billing item purchased by the Phantom, "Floating Continent". It's about the size of a school garden with about 100 meters of trucks around it, and it's a convenient item that can do most of the work within the confines of building a house, plowing a field, and building a production facility. It can then fly and travel through the sky, so it is also utilized as a vehicle that ignores the terrain. The book had set up the cheapest tree house there and used it for the warehouse.

This "floating continent" is 2,000 yen. In other words, the remaining 500 yen is subject to lapse. From the beginning, I was only willing to buy this "cosmetic box" and "floating continent", but since the charge could only be made every thousand yen, it became extra 500 yen.

Five hundred yen four years ago on a boulder, so there is no great deal of untrained, but it still feels like there is no body left. The poverty record opens the bill item list.

"Advanced Blacksmith," "Advanced Alchemy," "Advanced Sewing," "Advanced Finishing," "Advanced Cooking," "Advanced Woodworking,"

Private room with convenient tools for creation, thousand yen.

"Floating Continent," "Fort Golem," "Swan Lake," "Brick House," "House with Butler," "Mansion with Maid," "Ancient Castle," "Noble Mansion A," "Noble Mansion B," "Noble Mansion C," "Noble Mansion D," "Spiral Tower," "Rich Field"

Terrain systems such as buildings, 2,000 yen.

This lineup is all about cosmetic boxes.

The only choice was the cosmetic box. You have to charge a minimum of 1,000 yen even if you only have to buy 'cosmetic boxes'. This is the adult world. Dirty, adult dirty.

I bought one "cosmetic box" because I felt there was no need for it to expire as it was. VR money came to a balance of 0.

Logged in to perform the crusade mission. Operate the bracelet type terminal to open the item field. There is a 'cosmetic box' that I bought earlier.

This bracelet-shaped terminal, by the way, was one of the first additional elements made in two versions.

Until then, all menu manipulation was carried out by means of keys floating in the air, but it was implemented in this way because a large number of users valued the worldview, who suddenly raised their hands throughout the city and in battle, or felt shriveled by that scene poking at the sky at their fingertips, which others could not see.

"Cosmetic Box" I used this four years ago. A small box with a look such as a sum of lacquer paint. The book stares at a small box for a while at the nostalgia that creeps up when I think back to that time. At the time of the opening beta, the number of parts was completely lower than the official number, and it was not possible to create a preferred avatar. It is already a distant memory that he survived open beta in a young man who also had no characteristics of coal-covered brown hair.

When the official service begins, you are stunned by the number of parts when you create your avatar, and you can choose from nearly ten times as many parts with the 'cosmetic box' of billing items, which appear further out of the box. The moment I saw the comment, I quickly charged and bought the 'cosmetic box'.

Quickly the appraisal of the use of 'cosmetic boxes' raised a voice of joy within virtual reality. Because I had all the parts I wanted. All I had to do was focus on the details and create the best avatar.

And it was "Dumblrf" that exploded.

At the time, the only thing in my mind was if I could make this best avatar, and now I have no idea what other parts I have.

So the only thing I was interested in was using the "cosmetic box," which actually opened the four-year avatar creation screen.

Parts can be searched in parentheses such as "active," "modest," "strong," "weak," and other impression categories, as well as "mysterious," "majestic," "shady," "cheerful," and other atmospheric categories. Tens of thousands of parts in a boulder, one at a time, so it's obvious.

What the appraisal felt while looking at the list of parts was still the certainty that Dumblrf was the best now.

There will be no one beyond this avatar. Whatever you say, you created your own ideal male portrait.

There was a letter at the forefront of the book that looked satisfactorily at my former feat.

Man.

It's a letter that represents the gender of the avatar.

So a fuzzy thought passed in the back of the forensic brain. That, the ideal male statue could be reproduced perfectly.

So, what about the ideal female portrait?

Changing gender from man to woman turns Dumblrf into a girl.

It makes me feel a little bitter. Though the game, it was because I had an indescribable embarrassment to look seriously at the girl.

I can push it all the way in there and... rather pick parts with a little excitement.

Indulge in parts sorted by "strong" one at a time. At this point, the taste of forensics was heavily exposed.

How long has it been since I started making the ideal female portrait? The call announcing her sister's breakfast rings as she stares at the avatar, which has become a sufficiently satisfactory finish, with a nigga face.

When I rushed to operate the bracelet terminal and check the time from the menu, the time indicated 9: 00 in the morning. It's Sunday, so there's no problem, but it's complete. Shortly after that thought, Kuen is attacked by a fierce sleeper.

When I tried to touch the shutdown of the menu to log out, the world turned dark and I fell asleep unbearably, and Mitsuko thought so at this time.
