Skeleton Knight, in Another World

That day, an invention was announced that was greeted with shock by the whole world.

Parietal association cortex Connection Terminal.

Innovative technology including its peripheral technology, commonly referred to as both PACC terminals and neuronal access terminals.

Until then, the field was still recognized as a technology of the future, but it was developed and presented by a certain Canadian venture that pulled out outstanding American technicians and surprised the public.

The technology was that the developed terminal module could be embedded in the back of a person's head by simple implant surgery and connected to an external device through a PACC terminal, working in the parietal federation field to construct a pseudospace in the brain, and video could also be played back in the brain.

The pseudospace of this technology, by working on the parietal coalition field, by reproducing in the brain the five senses of a person, such as the feeling of having things, the sense of smell, the sense of knowing the taste, and so on, was able to experience it as if it were a real space.

It was only at the beginning of the announcement that a number of dangers and ethical issues of this technology were also pointed out.

However, this technology has begun to be used in all areas.

Getting a real sense of physical fitness could be used for training and so on in many occupations.

Astronaut outboard activity training or crisis avoidance training according to each situation.

Training in pseudospace, built in the brain, was no different from the real mission, but it was possible to achieve high precision training that accidents would not kill you.

It became remarkable, such as firefighter fire training, police mobility training, and, at the end of the day, improving the form of a sportsman, building the ideal form in the brain without destroying the body in a practice that was repeatedly requested, so that it could reproduce the skills cultivated in the brain in reality.

At one point the problem was the soldier's PTSD problem alleviation program, and while it was real battlefield training, pain was minimized pseudo-battlefield training, and soldiers trained with this PACC terminal were raised to the topic that they could be on mission without undue stress even on the battlefield.

But soldiers who are no longer afraid of death, even on the real battlefield, look different when viewed from those untrained soldiers, and the government becomes a matter of being rebuffed when they are creating brainwashing soldiers.

But the soldiers who were trained using the key PACC terminals were highly appreciative of the results of this training, which increasingly reinforced the impression of the brainwashing soldiers on the abolitionists, which became a major controversy between the abolitionists and the promoters.

As a result, the use of PACC terminals worldwide will be discouraged, and it would have been inevitable for this technological advance to stagnate for a time.

And it was decided that the world would use the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as the depository for handling PACC terminals to formulate joint provisions, and we began to move forward slowly even as we conceived the problems.

But that year, the developer's Canadian venture developed a new technology using PACC terminals.

Spirit and Time Room System.

Was there an enthusiastic Japanese comic book fan in the developer, and the technology, named STR System, was that the time spent in pseudospace would be felt longer than the actual time.

In other words, in the pseudospace that was built on the STR system, we were able to create a situation in which it was only an hour old in real life, even though the subject felt physically experienced a three-hour experience.

It is precisely the technology of dreams, so that previous training can be done with greater compression, and the speed of proficiency can be dramatically improved.

The temporal compression ratio was set at up to triple as a mere risk of adding an extreme load to the brain.

Eventually, PACC terminals spread from use in specialized fields to more general use.

One of them was a game of entertainment.

Because of the modular implant surgery, there was a disadvantage that only people over eighteen years of age who were physically able to use the PACC terminal could use it, but the unknown sense of body as a next-generation VR that could still experience the same dimensions as the real one had sufficient potential demand to attract people.

And there was one guy who was crazy about next-generation VR games using such PACC terminals.

PACC terminal-related equipment is still expensive, and if we try to set up a single environment even though it is showing a general spread, one new car, including the cost of surgery, needs a light amount.

Is one of the factors not covered by the PACC module implant surgery?

The man also thinks that's more of a story because he embeds luxury equipment that's not needed for a healthy body.

In the first place, a man takes a stuffed train to the office every day, receives a sparrow's tear-like salary, and doesn't live in a small apartment.

For him, such as those who lead such a life, was a story in the story, an event in the corner of knowledge.

That's why he was able to apply without any hesitation when this game using the PACC terminal was developed and its test users were recruited.

The game was developed by the European Organization for the Dissemination and Development of PACC Terminals, and the game development company that partnered with it was in the process of developing a new VR game using the PACC terminals.

The game was a fantasy-based RPG, a one-of-a-kind game in which players became one demon king in the created world, expanding their territory and invading the dominant domain of other players' demon kings to expand their own territory.

Sometimes the form of the Demon King is still in the testing stage and its number is small, but its breadth is wide from the Demon King of man to the Demon King of elves and even the Demon King of goblins.

The man had chosen the demon king character of the setting, who was predominantly an immortal (undead) among them, to dominate the human territory and play with reinforcing his own armies with the dominant man as a material.

The man enjoyed such a game a lot by repeating his experience play for the past month or so and chewing on the fact that he was at the cutting edge of the future on his own.

As a test user, I also eagerly sent the opposition to the opinion of other players that people in the game world should simplify their expressions a little more, etc. because they die too real, that this PACC terminal should not be small wrapped up as their first full-fledged game using them.

This is an unreal world that is closest to reality because of it, and I couldn't stand a man for making it boring from the early stages of development.

Since his character was a magical attack the main way of attacking him, it may have been significant that he didn't feel much of an abomination, even if he killed a person.

No matter how authentic it seemed, it was the world of crops - that's what men thought.

And I visited that day.

After finishing his meals outside as usual, when he returned to his apartment, he quickly and only connected the PACC terminal to a plug installed in the back of his head to launch a game device for development.

With a quiet driving noise in his ear, the man fell asleep on the bed as usual and closed his eyes.

After that day, the man disappeared neglectfully from the room.

The person lying in bed, sleeping as if dead, suddenly began to move.

He is dressed in a luxurious coat and wears a large hat with the Holy Mark of Hilkism on his head.

Underneath it is covered with a face cloth to hide the entire face, and the back face blocked by that cloth cannot be foreseen.

How long has a man slept and dreamed of a long time ago, he thinks half as if he were someone else, putting his hands in the universe to see certain movements?

But there was no screen in front of him that he wanted.

It's been a long time since I didn't even see my screen as a game before I logged out.

In terms of the time that has elapsed, has it not been nearly a hundred years already?

The man thinks there's probably been a malfunction in the STR system due to some kind of malfunction.

Thanks to this, I'm going to spend the rest of my life in the game, and I have no idea how many days have passed in real life - but why don't I feel particularly anxious?

If it had been decades in real life, in the meantime the body without drinking and eating would have already died, but the man had analyzed that he was still in this world because he was convinced that the real world was safe.

When the man gets out of bed, he stops by the window for a view outside.

The Central Cathedral of Alsace, a Hilk nation that I established long ago as a stronghold.

The man's name is Tanatos Silviwes Hilk.

He was the one who would reign as pope in this Hilk country.

And I realized there was a pope.

"Did one of my family members get hit again... this is, after all"

The Pope leaked such a grunt alone and a grunting voice from the back of the face cloth.

In the game world, mass-produced pawns, that is, the lowest level skeleton nights, etc., could even be defeated by local NPCs.

But when you become a direct family member, there is no NPC to defeat it.

Due to the way the game works, only players have the power to defeat this - that is, players will be coming right around the corner.

Will you be able to get in touch with the outside - or has the person been similarly crippled?

Anyway, I was getting tired of games that were interesting and if they lasted a hundred years.

At first, we played in the land of the immortal (undead), the land of the living protected by the immortal (undead) for the time being, and then when the people of that country died, we turned all of them into immortal (undead) armies, and numbered them pale, finally ready to invade in the recent past.

If it's true, I could have thrown it out a long time ago, but would it have been nice to have prepared lightly, for a while I had a monotonous day of repeating the same work?

My compatriots, who may finally meet me, are in a mood to get better, but they are politely crushing their families and declaring war on me.

It's not too late to play this game just a little more.

Pope Tanatos spreads out the window, lets look at the territory he has built himself and be satisfied.

The majestic central cathedral of Alsace, built on the high plateau of the mountains - a strong wind characteristic of the mountains blows into a one-room window set behind it, stripping the face cloth of Pope Tanatos.

Pope Tanatos, who emerged from beneath it, had no expression, not even a face.

All there is is is the skull of a man who houses two red, soul-like lights in a dark, dark orbit.

From the face of the skeleton it is not possible to see the facial expressions, but from the mouth of the skeleton a low whisper was spouted, which echoed in the mountains and played a creepy sound forever.
