Chapter 396 – Access
I asked him a question about Helena, but he honestly didn’t expect much.
“Helena? Is that the name of your forgotten girlfriend?”
“No, before Hellion, I heard he was the leader of Zephyrian…”
“Ah! That Helena!”
“You know?”
Could it be that I picked the winner?
“I know… I don’t know the details. She took a brief history class, and it’s an interesting subject, so I just remember it. Like, she made the Devil and the Archdemon Castle… That’s all I know.”
The devil was created by Helena?
She seems to have heard that Celestia made the Great Demon Castle…
“How do I know more about Helena?”
“Shouldn’t we go find a history professor or someone who has studied professionally?”
I’ll have to tell Celestia and her children when I go back later.
Fortunately, there was evidence that I wasn’t just playing around.
〈 You also have a conscience? 〉
Cosmos guy… How could there be no way to give up the soul…
Since there is no substance, you can’t even spank him.
Unexpectedly, the conversation went well with Kaura.
However, I, who did not live here in the first place, had no choice but to use the power of deception in order to have a natural conversation with Kaura.
That’s how I was able to talk with Kaura and hear an interesting story.
“Game? Jeredia electricity?”
“It’s a virtual reality game that’s in full swing these days, don’t you know?”
Virtual reality?
It’s not like a virtual reality game on Earth, right?
VR coming from the earth only gave me a sense of disappointment.
But this place is different.
Idiots have unusual technical skills.
I couldn’t help but be interested.
I asked Kaura in more detail about the virtual reality game.
First of all, it is said that you can access a virtual reality game with a capsule.
‘Ka, capsule…’
If it’s a real virtual reality game.
As a gamer, this is unbearable.
I was a little excited.
“This is my ID… If you have any thoughts, please see the friend request.”
Cowra left me with her contact information and left.
Next day.
I resisted the temptation of the swimming pool and headed for the capsule room.
There was a capsule room in the hotel.
The capsule room consisted of a neat, small, single-person room.
And there was a large capsule that took up half of the space in the room.
The soft inside of the capsule seemed quite comfortable. And I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
“Cosmos, don’t you think you saw this somewhere?”
〈 It’s something from the Great Demon Castle.〉
When she said it, I remembered.
I have seen an object similar to this capsule that was quietly enshrined in one of the rooms in the palace.
At that time, I wanted to find out what it was, so I tried to investigate it, but there was no way to find out what the capsule was in the end.
We had discussions about what it would be used for for a while.
The difference is that the capsule in the Great Devil Castle was much larger than the capsule here.
‘By the way…That was a virtual reality capsule?’
Are you saying that Bloa and Gromgal also played virtual reality games?
It could have been because the two of them had quite a lot of interactions with the demons.
The capsule was quite large, so it was large enough for me to fit in.
Let’s lie down in it, and the cover of the transparent capsule closes gently. And the inside of the capsule was enveloped in darkness where not a single light could enter.
Then, I felt a sensation that my body was floating.
[There is no account information.]
A woman’s voice was heard.
[Create an account by linking with the link…]
[Creates an avatar.]
[Scan the user’s appearance.]
An avatar that imitated my appearance was created in front of me.
〔You can customize your appearance.〕
It seems that he is customizing parts of his appearance that he does not like.
It was annoying, and I just proceeded with the next procedure.
[Avatar has been created.]
My body was born in a dark world where there was only consciousness.
[Avatar’s dwelling is created.]
[Select the desired image.]
And in front of my eyes were meadows, wastelands, frozen ground, beaches…And so on.
All kinds of natural environments come to mind.
I chose a beach I hadn’t seen in a long time.
The darkness disappears
I was standing on a white sandy beach overlooking the clear, clean sea.
You can vividly feel the fine sand being stepped on.
A crisp yet cool sea breeze.
I saw an unknown bird flying in the sky.
I really felt like I was at the beach.
This vivid scenery made me wonder what my condition was now.
I lightly contemplated my current condition.
Me lying in the capsule and I recognizing virtual reality felt a strange sense of incongruity when both became contemplative.
The immersion in virtual reality is significantly broken.
I decided to stop contemplating and immerse myself in virtual reality more.
‘Do you have Cosmos?’
There is 〈.〉
‘Can you see what I see?’
〈 Yes. Show.〉
‘Can I use the inventory in this?’
〈 Of course not! This is not the real world.〉
Virtual reality is not just a space for playing games. It was only a small part.
It was possible to surf the web, watch TV and movies, as well as make this space to your liking and invite others.
I didn’t know how time was passing, and I played while manipulating virtual reality frantically.
Manipulation could be done with words or thoughts.
‘This, this is a very dangerous item…’
If this item were to be supplied to the earth, it would have been an item capable of nurturing dozens… Millions of disabled people in the corner of the room.
‘Kaura gave her her own contact information.’
If she has access to virtual reality, she can invite.
Calls were possible even when not connected.
I was thinking of contacting Kaura, but I decided to learn more about this virtual reality.
Of course, what piqued my interest was the game.
Originally, that is also why I came here.
When I search for games, lists of games that can be played in virtual reality come to mind.
There are quite a lot of virtual reality games.
And the genre was also diverse.
Action, Racing, RPG, Simulation…Etc.
Games are listed in order of popularity.
The Zeldia Electric that Kaura said was ranked number one.
As I was browsing the list of game ranks, I could see a familiar word.
[11th place: Pantera]
[Genre: Hardcore Roguelike]
[This is a game in which you are summoned by a black mage as a demon or a demon to conquer Pantera.]
〔This is a legendary virtual reality game that no one has conquered since its release until now.〕
[Recommended for gamers with a challenging spirit.]
〔Warning! Since this is an adult-level game, special attention from guardians is required so that minors do not use it.]
Pantera, demons…Warlocks, a lot of familiar words were listed.
‘This…’
「Game evaluation.」
「Complex.」
“Rhqmf: Crazy… Did you make it to wake up? As soon as I started, I was killed by a paladin.”
「Ghkrkska」: Producer Stop being stubborn and lower the difficulty level. Can’t you see the rankings are down? How far away do you want to come to your senses?”
「Vhffltm69」 : It was originally like this game.
「Wkffkga: You know if you twist it, right?」
「Djflsdl4 : A game that is completely out of whack.」
「Spcbfjf09」: Being first-mover is amazing. This game is still holding on. I heard it was there before I was even born.”
「Tnsdnlcnd : You have to get out of the top 100 to come to your senses.」
「Wjfakd: If you see that it has been doing this for hundreds of years, give up.」
「Xhlanf : It’s amazing that a game like this is still in the rankings.」
「Fhqht」: Finally out of the TOP10. The preoccupation bubble is bursting.”
「Cheld99 : Retirement game.」
「Rnreld: You heard something like that 10 years ago, are you still alive?」
「Wlskrka1234 : This game is now also owned by shit games like Overdrive… ㅠㅠ」
「Sodcjf : Let’s subdue while clapping.」
Reviews were not good.
The response to the comments was also poor.
Still, there was some useful information there.
That this game is quite old and that it is a game that is more difficult than expected.
However, the fact that it maintained its ranking meant that it was consistently popular.
Looking at the fact that it has not been cleared until now after its release… It seems that it has crossed the line a bit for a game.
I heard that it has been like this for hundreds of years…
It seems that the producer is not an ordinary idiot.
A name is a name.
I wonder how difficult the game is to be like this.
I decided to connect to a game called Pantera.
[Currently, only low-level demons and low-level demons can be selected with the device.]
[Demons have excellent physical abilities.]
[Idiots are balanced.]
I chose the demon.
[The basic ability is blood magic.]
[Kill a creature, absorb its life force and grow.]
[Choose a secondary ability.]
Auxiliary abilities listed with guidance voice.
As well as elemental abilities such as ordinary water, fire, wind, and lightning… Magical absorption ability amplification… Demonic beast summoning… Transformation…Etc.
There are so many abilities listed that it is impossible to choose.
I chose the telekinesis that I was most familiar with.
[Waiting for your turn to summon. Please wait a moment. 43…40…29…]
Is it a waiting number…
There was something like this here too.
It seemed to be popular no matter what.
[Connect to Pantera. Good luck.]
As soon as the guidance voice ended, the world was enveloped in darkness once again.
And I felt like my consciousness was being sucked into somewhere.
When my vision brightened again, the place I was in was a gloomy stone chamber.
“Oh oh…”
“So, the summoning was successful.”
Scattered on the foundation was the corpse of a disfigured woman with a dismembered stomach showing off her talents.
Not only that.
Around the altar were also full of corpses of people who had died miserably.
Bodies tangled up with nothing to do with men and women of all ages.
The inside of the stone chamber was filled with the smell of blood.
And…
In that sea of blood, 5 warlocks bowed their heads to me.
