"Unlimited World?

Spring break is also approaching. On a lunch break in March, I, Urban Architecture, invited Yu (Yuki), a childhood friend and lover, to "Unlimited World".

Unlimited World, that's VRMMORPG, where the official service starts this spring. At a time when VR technology has become widespread and common, there are many VR-based games in the field of online gaming as well. Unlimited World is a game developed as one of such VRMMORPGs.

"Surely that's Yukun, Yaohua, and Ludou (Riku) was playing the beta test around the winter break, right?

Yes, me and my sister Yaohua, plus three of my snowy twin brother Ludou, were in the beta test that was being held in the winter. To be precise, the four of us signed up to take the beta test, and Snow Sound 'Just' failed to take part.

"Yes, that. The official service is about to start, but now I was wondering if snow sounds would be good with me."

"I'd love to play with that... I heard that the sale of the primary shipment is sold out already at the booking stage..."

"It's okay there, because I have a separate software license for myself and another"

It was a common perception of all three that Snow Sound was more interested in this game than just being a fellow hassle: beta test participants could buy the software first, but they had the option to buy another licence. Thanks to this, I was able to invite snow sounds to Unlimited World without struggling.

"If that's the case, I'd like to play with you. I was the only one on winter break who had a buddy hassle..."

"Uh... that's lame. But for that matter, I'll follow you closely."

"Yeah, then by telling you to follow me closely. Yukun is a production system after all?

In my case, MMORPG makes it the norm to play in the production profession. Of course, when it comes to production systems, it's not just production, it's fighting, but the main thing is production.

"Oh, I plan to play it feels like alchemy and dispensation dealing mainly with consumables"

"It is. Then I'm also from the production system... there's cooking, right?

"I do. My people when I was beta didn't have any cooking main producers, so I was wondering if it would help if they could do the dishes"

"Oh well. Then I'm going for the cook!

Incidentally, it is also the norm for Snow Sound to choose production jobs. Most importantly, in the case of snow sounds, the side is strong that they are tailored to me, so if I choose a combat position, snow sounds will also choose a combat position. I could imagine Snow Sound choosing to cook because Snow Sound's hobby and stunt is called cooking. To what extent is my hobby, the more I buy and play the VR simulator of cooking, the more I have no complaints about the flavor.

We don't choose production because we don't like fighting. Rather, in our case, VRMMORPG fights that tend to require real skills because they learned martial arts in the wake of a childhood 'case'. The reason we choose production jobs is because we don't intend to go out of our way to dawn into battle in a virtual reality space, much less because we want production activities that we can't normally do.

"So what kind of game system is Unlimited World?

This isn't the first time the four of us have played with VRMMORPG. This is the first time I have tried to start a service but I still have not had much experience playing with VRMMORPG.

"Unlimited World is a skill-based RPG. Characters are more oriented than levels, depending on what skills they learn to go with."

"No profession?

"I have a profession. It feels like a subjob choosing another job, including production, for the main job choosing a combat job"

"Then raising your cooking skills in the main doesn't mean the cook is the main job."

"I guess that's what it looks like on the system. When you tested beta, you named it after your area of expertise."

"Oh well. Well, if you have high cooking skills, you'll be a cook. Good luck with the cook!

"Mm-hmm. Let's try not to push it"

"Ha ha. Oh, it's time to get back to your seat because I'm finishing my lunch break. Please continue after school."

"Okay. I'll see you later."

Thus, the primary goal of inviting snow sounds to Unlimited World was achieved.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Oh, Snow Sister, Yo! You're going home now!

On the way home from the day we invited Snow Sound safely to Unlimited World, a voice called out to us later.

"Lu Dou? You're walking in this direction at this hour, so you're on your way home."

The Lord of Voices is Lu Dou. He is the twin brother of Snow Sound and one of my childhood friends and best friend.

"No, well, I knew that. Did Snow Sister ask you out properly?

"You don't have to worry. You got it right. Hey."

"Of course not, Lu. I'd be mad if you didn't ask me out, wouldn't you?

"I'm sure that's true, too. You said you couldn't book Snow Sister Software."

Yes, because the snow sounds leaked into the booking lottery to say why I took the form of an invitation. It was really helpful that the additional license application for the beta tester came after the announcement of the results of the booking lottery. Or maybe it was a remedy for users who could not be booked because they knew beta testers like snow sounds.

"More land than that. You could have licensed me because Lu was also a beta tester. Why won't the land give it to me?

"No, because I figured Snow Sister would be more than happy to give it to you..."

"Tell me you honestly didn't have enough money until the additional license, Lu Dou."

"Wow, idiot! Don't mess with me, Yo!

"Riku, you're not wasting it again, are you?

"I didn't waste it, I just had a bunch of games I wanted..."

Yes, Lu Dou is the game idiot who likes the game more than the three times Meshi, the most of the four of us. Othi says he's been buying a lot of games since he decided to start Unlimited World for 4 people and couldn't afford to even buy additional licenses. However, as for the additional license for snow sounds, there is nothing wrong with me because I have decided to give it to three people, including my sister.

"Damn you run out of pennies right away...... Yokun, sorry. I'll pay for the game later."

"Uh, it's good about that. I've been getting a lot of things from time to time, and thank you for that. Not a lot of money."

"... um, I'll have it then. Thank you, Yu-kun."

"So this is the end of the story! So, I guess we're going to have a character makeover today, you two."

Lu Dou, who doesn't want to be steamed back about the pocket money story, tries to distract himself from the story forcefully. Well, I don't care about Lu Dou's purse situation, so let's get on with the Lu Dou story here.

"I'm not going to talk about character makeup or skill relationships. Snow noise, what do we do after this? Do you want to come to us, or should we go to the snowy house?

"Uh, can I have my house, then? Because I want to hear a lot about it, and if I can do character makeup, I want to do it."

"Copy that. Then I'll go home once and take the software to the snowy house."

There are various kinds of snow sounds and Lu Dou, and now they are close to each other because of family grooming. Therefore, it is normal to go to each other's houses to visit each other, and there is almost nothing to be aware of there. Because the house is a good neighborhood, we also eat dinner together when our parents are away together.

... and got in front of my house while I was talking about that.

"Then you go home first and wait.... Lu, you'll talk about pennies later."

"Hey, Snow Sister, wait for me! Yo, say something from you too!

"... you deserve to have run out of pennies. I'll see you later."

Leaving Lu Dou, who had been confirmed to be angry with his sister, I went inside my home.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Welcome back, brother"

When I opened the front door and walked into the house, a voice was heard.

It doesn't have to be confirmed, but it's our two younger sisters, Yaohua.

"I'm home. Uh..."

"Did Snow Sister properly invite you? Then it's Snow Sister's character makeup, right? We'll be home by dinner. Is this it?

"I'm not going to stay that long. Dinner... what shall we do?"

Our parents work together, so one of our brothers and sisters decides to make it on a late return day.

This is a late day for its return, by the way.

"Um, I'll make it today, so I'll be fine. But if it's too late tomorrow, please."

"Okay. But you're better off?

Yaohua is also buying additional licenses and inviting friends.

Yaohua had spoken in advance and was supposed to get a separate price for the license.

Not to mention how much it's not that expensive, presenting the game to a friend is something we care so much about each other.

Even more so if it were a junior high school student.

In that sense, I think the relationship between me and Snow Sound is more special.

"Yeah, I'm giving Sang-ri another set, so I'm fine. He said he'd do the character makeup when he left."

"Oh, well, you'll be fine."

"It's a quick winner to decide on a character name. I hope you get the name of Snow Sister, too."

"Well, that's all I can do."

If the basic character name is a game that cannot be duplicated, the character name is the early winner.

i will take over the character names used by the beta testers, but new players other than the beta testers will have to compete in this competition.

... However, since players who actually leaked in the lottery other than the beta tester were able to register their character names in the form of provisional registration, it's not like that much of a feud will start now.

Snow sounds also signed up for the beta test, so the character name should even be kept.

"Then I'll get dressed and go to the snow noise with a game set."

"Yes, I'm not careful. Even so, it's right next door."

Sent to my sister's extended voice, I went back to my room to get ready to go to the Kaito family.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Having visited the Kaito family with a set of games, I quickly started making up characters with snow sounds.

It ended smoothly until the character name was set, but my hand stopped at the skill selection screen.

"I've even come to choose my skills, but what do I do with them?

"Basically the maximum number of skills you can choose at the start is up to 10. At least one of them is basically choosing a combat skill that suits your profession."

"Really?

"You can't fight properly in the first place without combat skills, in this game. That's why you have to choose at least one weapon skill for combat."

"That's right... Then I'd like a sword. Is there a sword?

Snow Sound is learning to defend herself with a real sword. Even so, the snow sound is surprisingly strong because when actually used, the application is good if it is a stick-shaped thing. Of course, you can stand around with your bare hands, so even if you don't have anything to be a weapon, you have the strength to do so. However, [Spear] did not exist in the initial skill.

"A sword... I can confirm that there is a [sword] in the derivation of the [sword] if there is a [spear] derivation..."

"Then your weapon skills look fine with [spears]. Both spears and swords are similar. What about the other skills?

"I have some recommended skills for once, but what kind of play do you want for snow sounds?

"I wonder if you would like a style of play that can support Yukun"

"... then it'll be more style than the avant-garde to the middle, but are you okay?

"Yeah, it's the usual thing, and I'm fine."

It is usual for snow sounds to take on a avant-garde style of play. This is because I often choose to play in the rear guard system.

As a result of the conversation between the two of us afterwards, the initial skills of snow sounds were as follows:

[Spear] [Armor] [Magic] [Wind Magic] [Recovery Magic] [Grant Magic] [Health Increase] [Agility Increase] [Cooking] [Production]

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When I got home, I had dinner and decided to do my own character creations after checking my sleep schedules. For initial skills, I have already selected from my experience during beta testing, so I will only create avatars. The VR device was then installed and "Unlimited World" was activated.

My skill structure was already determined by my experience during the beta test. Specifically:

[Gun] [Fight] [Magic] [Water Magic] [Wind Magic] [Recovery Magic] [Magic Recovery Rise] [Alchemy] [Formulation] [Production]

There is no convenient [dexterity increase] in production, but even if there is no [dexterity increase] in production items at the beginning, it can be handled. After the beginning, the skill bonus you said otherwise [Alchemy] [Dispensing] [Production] should sufficiently compensate...

Then [production] skills, but the effect is a combination of two effects: 'quality of production products increases' and 'success rate of production skills increases'. Without this skill at the beginning, a decent production product is not complete, and it takes a lot of time to remember on its own, making it an essential skill among production players as an initial skill.

Besides, [Appraisal] skills are common in games with this hand, but in this game all players have unconditional mastery.

This was due to many requests from players who had not chosen [appraisal] skills as their initial skills during the beta test, and therefore specification changes were made from the middle of the beta test to "[appraisal] skills shall be available to all players unconditionally".

At the time, there was noise around players who had remembered [appraisal] from the beginning, players who had remembered [appraisal] on their own, etc., but as a result, there was not a lot of inflammation because there was talk of more than one skill frame at the start of the service.

Then, select "Beast Man (Fox)" based on the race selection added from the official version. Details of "The Beast Man (Fox)" is a race that says INT, MND, and AGI are high and STR and VIT are low. I'm curious to say STR and VIT are low, but it was fascinating to say that INT is high with increased magic attack power. If INT was high, it would work even with [Alchemy] and [Pharmaceuticals] consuming MP of something.

When you select a race, the avatar in front of you changes to that of the Beast Man. It's like saying fox ears over your head and fox tails behind your back. There was not enough change in height or shape to tell. From there it was possible to change further details, so I try to change the color of the tip of the ear and the tip of the tail to white.

And I changed my initial occupation from [Main: Archer (Archer) Sub: Pharmacist] on the beta board to [Main: Apprenticeship Musketeer (Gunner) Sub: Apprenticeship Alchemist] and my character makeup is over.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After all the character makeup was completed, the four of us signed up for each of our friends. If I had logged into a private chat room using VR gear from the official HP, I would have been able to register my friends even before the service started.

After I was ready, I spent some time going to school until the service start date in late March, and after spring break I spent a lot of chores, etc. We were well prepared to go to high school.

And it will be the morning of the service we have been waiting for.

"Then your brother is not logged in at the same time as the service starts."

"Oh, it's hard to even rendezvous with the snow noise in the crowd right after the start. I decided to log in an hour late"

"Hmm, I plan to log in shortly after the service starts and start dashing!

"I'm not going that far. Either way, it's gonna be definite in the next city."

"Well, that's it. Something you can't fight properly if you can't update your gear in the first city."

"Even initial payment beginner gear can hunt up to about Bear depending on how it's done."

"It's a matter of efficiency there, brother!

As she was talking to her sister, 12: 00 approached her, so Yaohua went back to her room. Afterwards, I received a call from Snow Sound saying that I was cleaning up after lunch and checking dinner ingredients.

"Hello, Yo-kyun. Are you okay now?"

"Oh, I'm fine. What's the matter with you?

"Uh, it's not a big deal, I was just trying to confirm my plans over there."

"Mm, roger. The first time I log in, I'm going to be in a field called [Beginning Plains], and I'm going to get a basic tutorial there, so I'm going to clear that. Then follow the navigation and we'll be in [the city of beginnings], so we'll meet up there."

"I get it. But you can't rendezvous in the tutorial field?

"The tutorial field should make a dedicated field for each individual, so you shouldn't be able to rendezvous with players until the city of beginnings"

Then I'll send you a message when I'm done with the tutorial.

"Oh, roger. See you over there."

"Yeah, I'll see you later"

When I finished interacting over the phone, it was close to 13: 00 so I decided to start the game myself. Wear VR gear and select game start. Then, with a little flotation, he logged into the world of Unlimited World.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Welcome to Unlimited World"

The usual inorganic voice greeted me logged in. But I usually don't see the fairy-shaped support AI in front of me. It doesn't seem like a bug, but I wonder if something happened.

"Hi. So I think we usually had a support AI. I wonder where that went?

I didn't think the answer would come back because the official makes it clear that AI is a simple AI when the character makes it up, but I asked him once.

"Yes, as many players are currently logged in, we do not have support AI for those who have created character data in advance to ease congestion. We'll have it if you need it, what will you do?

Now I don't have anything to ask you to come out to that support AI, and I decided not to call the support AI by saying...

"No, no support AI. Let's start the game."

"Yes, I did. Biometric confirmation… Dear 'Twa', Do you want to start the game with data from the time of the character's makeup?

"Sure. Nice to meet you."

"I understand. Good luck with your journey, Master Twa."

Together with that line, I saw the light shining in front of me, and once again my body was transferred in a light floating sensation.
