Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 01: Welcome to FrontierPlanet

"Welcome to FrontierPlanet."

The pioneering commander ship you are on board, Amateras, is anchored in the geostationary orbit of the nearby planet Izanami.

After a brief orientation, we will move you to ground forward base Susanoo-001 at the ground descent pod.

"Now, please enter your personal data first."

That was a pure white bridge.

Walls, floors, ceilings, everything you see consists of white metal. There are a lot of lousy console types lined up by the wall, and no one to manipulate them, but they move around.

Outside the large windows, the universe is so vast that it becomes insecure. Below is a giant star that spans a blue sea similar to the earth.

I woke up in countless sleeping devices lined up on the bridge.

This is the newly launched world of VRMMORPG called FrontierPlanet.

First of all, it's a name.

Following the inorganic voices heard at the same time as the awakening, I touched the translucent display that appeared in front of me.

"--Reggie, how about Reggie?"

A name that twisted my real name a little. Nevertheless, it should not be out of line with the world view.

Once entered and confirmed, the display transitions to the next screen. Seems like a personal ID has been given to each player apart from the name, and there are multiple players with the same name without any hindrance.

"What type of plane is next?"

It would be a species in other games.

In this FrontierPlanet, the player is set up as an autonomous robotic doll tasked with investigating and pioneering peripheral planets.

There are four types of machine dolls in total.

Type-humanoids with the most average performance and the appearance of a desane doll.

Type-Likan Slope, superior to fufufu chemis and sensors.

Small, with a bonus to the Arts special skill, Type - Fairy.

Large, powerful and tough, type - Golem.

"They're both short and long. Nevertheless, I suppose we should choose cheap pie."

That's why I chose the type-humanoid. The Average. It Orthodox. Viva, All-Mighty.

"Now, next... Initial gear."

The next selection screen appears to be an item that will be distributed as you begin the game.

This game is also sold at an overwhelming degree of freedom where everything is permitted.

Nevertheless, in order to avoid being thrown into an unopened planet all by yourself, we were able to get a pack of guided items.

"Warrior Pack, Mage Pack, Crafter Pack... Hmm, none of this is going to hold back."

Looking at the contents of several lined packs, I twisted my neck.

Thanks, it doesn't look like it matches the playstyle I want to play.

"You want to travel, I..."

Travel. Yes, I want to travel.

Beautiful graphics, another point of sale for this game. I want to relax and experience the magnificent landscape, which is also said to have transcended reality.

Shut up, I'm not really interested in exploring.

"What's the matter...? Oops?"

Moving the scrollbar of the display while roaring, there was an eye-catching pack in the last place.

"Survivor Pack - except for common items, backpack, lantern and portable stove"

Hmm. Pretty good.

It's exactly like a set for me.

I was totally floated, so I decided to read the description in the corner of the pack.

I checked all my personal data. Welcome, Reggie. Welcome to your planetary research expedition. "

Preparation of the ground descent pod will be completed in three minutes. Please board the pod and attach the fastening belt. "

Inspired by my voice, I enter a huge capsule sitting in the middle of the bridge.

Simple interior with seats, levers and only belts.

Please wait while the ground descent pod is ready.

When the pod is ready, metabolically speaking, the server's release time.

This game is a new title just released today. The start time is approaching in a few minutes.

"Don't get excited."

I know very well that you are not worthy of your age.

I looked at the new heaven and earth under my eyes and thought of the beautiful landscape waiting for me there.

"You can take screenshots, right? I'd like to open a blog and put it up there."

The countdown proceeds.

The minute reading changes to a second reading and the meter in the pod starts shaking the needle.

Ten seconds till ground drop pod ejection. Five seconds. - Good luck, Reggie. "

Sent to an inorganic voice, the pod was thrown vigorously. From the bridge to space.

"Wow!?

Escaped from a narrow ship and suddenly his vision opened.

Drive through space filled with dark black with the thrust of a small jet engine.

Apart from me, a number of the same pods are falling towards a vast star. A streamlined pod with a white tail looks like a cluster of meteors.

"Oh, that's Amateur, the pioneering ship."

When I look over my head, I see a giant ship floating. That's the ship that brought us aboard, the command tower that directs our pioneering activities.

So, that was Tsukuyomi, the communications surveillance satellite group.

As you lower your face a little, the pod goes straight to the side of the small cube.

Numerous satellites flying slightly below the amateur terrace. It is a group of satellites that mediate communications between the ground and the amateur while observing the state of the surface.

"Insulation compression detected"

Atmosphere entry sequence activated.

The whole pod starts to sway little by little.

Looking out the window, the other pods are also hot.

Then penetrate the atmosphere into the vast sky of Izanami.

The descent to the planet Izanami was on track.

I think it's time to see the rest.

The surface is approaching. Breathes without thinking of a more vivid landscape.

A highland meadow on the coast of a large continent. There was a huge town in the middle.

Surrounded by steel barriers, Susano is the ground vanguard base responsible for replenishing and maintaining our pioneers.

Amateur terrace, Tsukuyomi, Susano. Together, they call them the three pillars of heaven.

"... that?

I felt a slight discomfort when I couldn't wait for the moment to arrive.

"What, you're not far away?

The pod we're on should be aiming for Susano on the ground.

In fact, the other pods around are heading straight for Susano.

However, only the pod I'm riding is slightly offset from there.

The distance from the other pods, which were almost parallel lines, goes away.

"Well, why? Hey, yeah!?

It can be seen that some of the countless pod groups are equally aiming for something other than a base.

What do you mean by that? If we don't get to the first town, we can't start anything.

When I'm confused, the console suddenly starts sounding a loud alarm.

At the same time, the bright red lamp began to turn, and it was found that the situation changed rapidly.

"What the hell is going on!?

There's nothing I can do.

I'm just moving my arms and face.

While doing so, the ground gets closer.

Straight below is not a safe base, but a dense, lush forest.

"Hold on. Wait!"

"Emergency escape system activated."

Boom, the explosion.

At the same time, I was thrown into the air from a slightly cracked pod, tied to a seat.

"Ha? Wow!?

Confusion.

Even if I scratch the algae, I'm already tangled in the gravity of this planet.

So I was thrown alone into a gloomy forest.
