Episode 1 Rabbi, a Young Fashion Designer in Search of an Ideal
/
by Tenjin
[XANA], which means [Ideal world], there is a fashion shop district in the world of the Metaverse named after it. There, items that can be worn, such as costumes and accessories for the user's alter ego called avatars, were sold. The avatar itself can be created for free, but many users buy dress-up items from shops that sell them for a fee. Various designers sell original products in the fashion shop district. Among them, many avatars visited the animal design shop facing the square. A cute girl with bunny ears and a maid outfit is busily working in the store. "thank you very much! "Please come again♪" "Thank you, Mr. Rabbi♪ I'll come again!" 』The girl's avatar, who has finished changing into the cat-eared hoodie she bought, leaves the store with a happy expression on her face. The items sold in the store are all animal-themed dress-up items. From cute to sexy, the dress-up items targeting young female avatars are very popular, and the designer and manager, Tsukito Yayoi, is a sales person who never ceases to smile even in the real world. It's going well. (At vocational school, my designs were said to be too eccentric, but I'm glad to know that in this kind of world, they'll be very popular. If the sales and reputation are good, they'll hire me as an exclusive designer for XANA's dress-up items. That's what I'm talking about, I have to do my best!) Yayoi, who has always loved animals, had many animal-themed clothes and accessories. However, it is not popular with everyone, so it is not very popular at vocational schools. As the time for graduation draws near, the teacher who consulted Yayoi about her career asks her if she knows anything about the Metaverse. Although Yayoi had heard about it from her friends, she had never actually tried it, but her teacher later told her about it.

Episode 2 Creators Caravaggio, the Ideal Embodied
/
by Tenjin
(Hmmm... There are many events and performances in the event square, so which one did you hear about... hmm?) "welcome! welcome! "If you want to experience a fantastic space, see our Caravaggio works!" "It's free now♪" In front of a building that looks like a circus, another three-headed clown is dancing lightly while advertising. Seeing the avatars entering the building one after another, I knew it was popular. (This is the group that the customer mentioned. You might get some good hints for future designs.) The rabbi silently nods and steps into the building like the other avatars. Although the inside was pitch black, the venue was immediately enveloped in a flash of rainbow-colored light. Music starts playing, and 3D illustrations with various designs appear and disappear in time with the rhythm. (This is... amazing!) Even though I'm just standing there, my consciousness is entering this world, probably because the images are playing along with the music. Just when you think you are surrounded by gorgeous seasonal flowers, the next moment, you will find yourself flying in the exhilarating blue sky of summer. (If you visualize the 3D illustration and expand it to 360 degrees, it will certainly become a fantastic space...! Idea and development, ordinary people may not even come up with it... Who the hell is Caravaggio?) Every time the music rocks the brain to the rhythm, it is a constant stimulus. From intense rock to anime song-like songs, it's edited short, but there's no sense of incongruity in how it's connected. And sometimes, including the singing voice, I feel like I'm immersed in this world. Time passes in the blink of an eye and it's over. Ravi, who came out of the building, once again recalled the scene from earlier. (The time was about 5 minutes, but it was a satisfying experience... I'd like to hear a little story.)

Episode 1 Ideal World
/
by Suzuko Nemoto
We live in a world of peace and joy, a world without conflict. Apparently, this was considered the norm before I was born. People call that world the XANA Metaverse ......, the Ideal World. When I wake up in the morning, I look the way I want to look, eat the food I want to eat, and study the way I want to study. I could not understand what people meant when they said they were happy with such an ordinary thing. Because I was in that happiness since I was born, so it was a matter of course. But it seems to be the second generation. From the perspective of the first generation, it seems that they had a hard time in a negative world until they came to this world. People of the first generation often say that they felt firsthand that the world called Earth was coming to an end. In order to be free from suffering, the XANA metaverse, an ideal world, was created and a simulation was made to go to that positive world. Right now, as a world, they are divided between the negative world and the world of the XANA metaverse. ...... But I didn't have the courage to find out. Why do we have to go out of our way to make the happiness that we have now face unhappiness? Some people don't understand the meaning of knowing misfortune to savor happiness... I didn't want that to happen. But why? I had to know the world. Yes, the world had decided.

Episode 2 Bloom

by Suzuko Nemoto
"Haruka, is your body okay...? Also, the metaverse?" Saying that, I looked at Haruka's white, slender body. Haruka enjoys the world beyond the machine desperately using the headset she used when playing old VR-related games. "Because Kei. If it's this Metaverse, you can leave this world full of mistakes and dream? I can walk the world with you." "But that's..." "I'm sorry I let you stay in this world... My body was perceived negatively, and I couldn't go anywhere, so you're still going with me... If it's true, you'll be in parallel after your ascension." I am a resident of the world.” "It's okay. The world after ascension will create its own residents and live in the same way." This was a common saying in those days. Ascension as soon as you attach it to something. It was certain that it would come. Suddenly, I saw an image in the depths of my eyes. Me in the Metaverse and Haruka also in the Metaverse. Spring flowers in this world... Then I understood. If I had to recover Haruka from this world and bring her back to the post-ascension world, Haruka in post-ascension world will disappear. But at the same time, as I am, my existence in the pre-ascension world and the post-ascension world began to mix. I'll help Haruka, and when that's all over, I'll have to return to my own world. But what should I do?

by Suzuko Nemoto
When we woke up, it was the usual XANA Metaverse world. Beautiful flowers, water surface, sky... "Good morning. Kei-san. Haruka-sama." My AI says so and wakes us up. And Haruka's AI was also standing next to mine. "Good morning. Haruka-san. Kay-sama." Is this... a town? Speaking of which, it felt like there was a major update. Let's go around with Haruka later and take a look. "Haruka, Haruka..." I wake up Haruka. Haruka was very relieved to see her usual avatar appearance... But Haruka didn't wake up. I ask the AI. "What happened to Haruka?" Then the AI ​​smiles and says, "The data may be corrupted. Would you like to send it in for repair?" If it breaks, fix it. That is the common sense in this world... AI is similar, and some people expect that they will send it in for repairs after each update and accidentally change to a new model. But it wasn't even a rumor because it was so unlikely.

by Suzuko Nemoto
"Kay, where shall we go after this? It seems that a new item has appeared in the second generation avatar..." That's what Haruka says, so I nod and say this. "Shall we go where Haruka wants to go?" Since the person I love wants to go, I don't want to go to a negative world before Ascension, but if it's not that kind of world, I'll generally go along with it. Cause we're dating... We have such a wonderful relationship that even AI has to admit it. After all, that day, I went around various places, but maybe I couldn't find a place that stuck with me, so I went around similar places. However, there was still a harvest. I was able to touch on what Haruka likes. After all, they probably wouldn't want to go to places that didn't suit their tastes, so going to similar places led to knowing Haruka's tastes. “Haruka, you have a wonderful hobby.” "... My hobby is a little different, though. The details are different." There were a few complaints, but it was still a happy day. Haruka wasn't broken, and we can spend a lot of time together again. And after that day, I never heard any rumors about the world breaking apart. The world seems to have become perfect.

Episode 1 Entrusted with a Mission
/
by XANA China
One rainy night, Yu Qing returned home from work with a black umbrella walking out of the office building, full of melancholy, the mind remembered the words of the owner: now the global financial crisis, our business is bad, although you have been in our business for 10 years, after the decision of the upper management, it was decided to make you redundant, pack up your things, and then re-employment, you such a senior programmer, or very good to find a job. Yu Qing was still in a state of a daze when he was bumped by someone passing by, who headed off without looking back: “Sorry, excuse me.“ Because it was dark, did not see the person's appearance, Yu Qing just patted the rain that was brushing against the person, whispered a sentence: When Yu Qing returned home, he threw his bag on the sofa, and a VR fell out of the bag. Yu Qing picked it up suspiciously, and saw that XANA was engraved on the VR. Yu Qing picked it up and studied it. Soon, he understood how to operate it. Yu Qing wears VR and starts to play. He is given a new identity—the architect of the XANA organization. Yu Qing looks at the world in front of him, which is full of science fiction, where man and nature coexist harmoniously. As long as you sit on the ark, you can go to anywhere, but need to have enough virtual currency. At this time, an N who showed the XANA organization stepped forward and greeted Yu Qing: "Hi, builder, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you doing?" Yu Qing smiled awkwardly: "I've been busy recently." N nodded his head without saying anything and left, Yu Qing then looked at the others and found that only people from the same organization could see each other's identity tags. Yu Qing continued to explore in and found himself, in VR. It seemed like a formatted, only a letter in the backpack: help the world and help me. Yu Qing thought this was a bit surprising, didn't care, and continued to explore around, wanting to learn more about this colorful world, but found that his level is not high enough, can only reach the F and E area, F area does not have any rules to follow, anyone can enter it, where people can use their talents and earn the appropriate money, however, as there are no rules, there are all sorts of land robbers inside, constantly having wars and wanting to rule the F area, but it is clear that none of them succeeded, probably for the lack of people who set the rules. E area is completely different from the F area, Here E area has no rules, but people have enough digital currency for everyone to implement their ideas, there are biologists, philosophers, and great artists, with priceless treasures everywhere, but you need an invitation to enter Zone E. This is where Yu Qing is puzzled, by the fact that he could actually enter and leave the area freely. Yu Qing walked for a long time, then suddenly two people appeared and kidnapped Yu Qing. When Yu came to his senses, he was in a large warehouse, hanging from the ceiling. Yu Qing opened his eyes and looked at the ground, an elderly gentleman, next to a foreign beast whirling turtle, a creature recorded in the "Shanhaijing", as Yu Qing stared at the foreign beast whirling turtle, the foreign beast whirling turtle may have felt Yu Qing's hot gaze, impatiently raised his head and hissed, sounding like splintered wood. The old man was sitting on a chair with a cane in his hand, as if he was sober, with a friendly expression on his face, which surprised Yu Qing who was hanging from the ceiling: "Hey, old man, can you let me down and talk about it?" The old man laughed: "Do you think me and my friend next to me are capable of saving you from a five-meter high ceiling?" Yu Qing pondered for a moment, it seems, as both are land creatures, unable to fly.

by XANA China
Yu Qing was wandering in Area F, when suddenly a man rushed forward and knocked Yu Qing down, Yu Qing fell to the ground, the man ran away quickly, leaving behind a page, Yu Qing carefully looked at the program design diagram on the paper , found that this is a program that is completely impossible to achieve in the real world. Yu Qing felt more and more interesting, and began to study it. A few days later, Yu Qing returned to the Yuan Universe with the program he had researched, and it was put into operation very quickly. Yu Qing found that this was the strategic deployment map of all local snakes in Area F, which was very clear. If a certain program was written, By using them, they can kill each other, but this is not what Yu Qing wants. Yu Qing began to look for Chris in the metaverse. Yu Qing learned a lot while studying the program design diagram. Yu Qing began to write a positioning program, but after writing and running, he found that Chris was by his side, and Yu Qing raised his head. I looked around. A young and lively man stood in front of him: "What? I heard from the old man that you miss me?" "Well, I want you to die." Yu Qing calmly looked at Chris in front of him. Chris returned to normal: "Say, what do you want from me?" Yu Qing: "You know Renguang, help me send this strategic deployment map to Miao Tian in Area F." "Why did you choose Miaota?" Chris asked, getting right to the point. Yu Qing: "Because he is kind." Hearing this, Chris laughed: "Kindness? This word is not appropriate for a local snake in District F. You are still too young. " Yu Qing: "The old man asked you to listen to me, why are you talking so much?" Chris: "Didn't he tell you that talking a lot is my specialty?" "Is that shameless too?" Yu Qing looked at Chris and said. Chris was a little confused: "Shameless? Are you blind? " Yu Qing: "Please fasten your belt and get out of here." Chris looked down at the waistband of his pants, really not tied, some stammering: "You, you do not misunderstand, just after the toilet some urgent, did not want to seduce you." Yu Qing kicked Chris away: "Get lost, I like women."

Episode 3 Warehouse Setup

by XANA China
Yu Qing went directly to the warehouse where he was kidnapped at the beginning, opened the door, and there were a lot of things that could be used inside. Yu Qing began to pack up and reassemble the waste computers in the warehouse. When Quin came back, Yu Qing had already assembled it and was drinking tea on a chair watching the programs on the computer that couldn't run in the real world keep running. "Brother, I got it back." Quin handed Yu Qing a piece of sheepskin. Yu Qing picked up the sheepskin, closed his eyes and recalled what he saw in the library, and soon found the corresponding one. Yu Qing: "Get ready, we'll go to District E to auction it off tonight." Quin was puzzled: "Ah? Why? This is what I finally got. If you are short of money, you can find XANA organization. They have a lot of money, and they are rich second-generation rich people." Yu Qing smiled: "The second generation of rich? There are also second generations of rich? Why are you so rich?" Quin explained: "It means that we have rich wisdom and rich wallets, which is referred to as 'rich second generation', so what are we going to do?" Yu Qing: "You will know at night." Yu Qing was wearing a mask, sitting in the last row, watching the other people's auction quietly, while Kun watched anxiously from the side. Quin: "Brother? How many shots should we take?" Yu Qing is very sincere: "I have no money." Quin said happily: "I have." Yu Qing said indifferently: "Then you shoot it, it's not mine." Quin was silent. Until the sheepskin was taken out for auction, Yu Qing had been quietly observing the people in the auction venue. As soon as the sheepskin came out, there were bids from people in the front row, and Yu Qing also started to raise the price.

After Yu Qing finished speaking, he left. After Li got Feng's sheepskin, he could leave. He searched for a kind of ice crystal on the mountain in Area A, and dragged Kun along. Quin complained while actively working: "What's the matter? I'm not your slave, you want to treat me like this?" Yu Qing: "Help me watch, if there is a white tiger, it will be over. It loves ice crystals to escape the heat." Quin: "Okay, got it." After searching for a long time, Yu Qing went to the deepest part of the mountain and found the ice crystal, but the white tiger held the ice crystal and did not let go, so Yu Qing gently pushed Tuikun: "I'll get the ice crystal later, you go and lead the white tiger away. You can't kill them in Area A, it's breaking the law, or the gods of Da Luo can't save you." Quin: "It's me again?" Yu Qing comforted: "I'm looking for raw materials for your house, what else do you want?" When Quin heard that it was his own house, he immediately recovered and ran to lure away the white tiger. Yu Qing watched Quin being chased by the white tiger, and he printed the sentence: she escapes, he chases, she can't fly. Yu Qing smiled unkindly. Yu Qing slowly picked up the ice crystals and went directly back to the O area. He started to build a barrier with ice crystals for the airy house. It was not until night fell that Yu Qing slowly built the barrier. Open, you can see the outside from the inside, but you can't get in from the outside, the house is brightly lit in the center of the surrounding swamp, and Yu Qing is drinking tea inside. When Quin came back in embarrassment, he found that he couldn't get in at all, and a layer of transparent glass isolated himself from the outside. Quin said anxiously: "Brother? Open the door, I want to go in." Yu Qing pressed "enter" on the computer, and soon the barrier gradually opened. Kun rushed into the room and drank all of Yu Qing's tea. Yu Qing: "You can leave after drinking, go to Area A to see how Li is doing." Quin got angry: "No, I just came back, and isn't this house for me? Why do I feel like it's yours?" Yu Qing: "Temporary, it will be yours soon, go quickly." Quin turned around reluctantly and left Area O to Area A. After taking a break, Yu Qing began to install attack devices on the house again. After all, this house will be of great use in the end and requires a certain amount of attack power.

Area B, Yu Qing looked at the desert in front of him and asked Quin, "Why is there no one here?" Quin explained: "Joke, can people live in such a place?" Yu Qing asked Quin: "Then how do we find sheepskin?" Quin: "I don't know." Yu Qing pulled Quin to leave, and he asked, "What about the sheepskin?" Yu qing said without looking back: "Tell your Li Dafeng to find her, she is an AI, she can live." Quin thought Yu Qing was wise, but suddenly thought of Yu Qing's words and asked in surprise, "How do you know Knight is one of us?" Yu Qing smiled disdainfully: "I don't know, can I find him? Fool." Zone O, Yu Qing looked at the Feng in front of him and asked, "I'll give you a makeover, would you like to?" Feng shook his head, "Don't." Yu Qing waved his hand: "Okay, then you can do whatever you want. Anyway, your host is already out of order." Feng hesitated again and again, looked at Quin and Li, who were playing chess, and looked at Yu Qing, who were writing programs. Feng said slowly: "Let's start, I'm willing." Yu Qing looked up at the wind and smiled with relief: "Okay, wait for me to finish writing." After Yu Qing finished writing, he began to transform Feng, and Quin and Li were still playing chess. The next day....

Three months later..Yu Qing appeared in the Metaverse, and at this moment he is Yu Qing, not the builder of the XANA organization. Yu Qing came back to the house in District O, where Kun was playing chess with Li, and Feng was the first to see Yu Qing appear in the house. Feng: "Are you back?" Yu Qing nodded: "Hi, my name is Yu Qing." Quin looked up at Yu Qing, with tears in his eyes: "You, you're back? Sure enough, he was chosen by the architect before his death." Li patted Quin: "Can you stop talking, it's so unlucky when you speak." Yu Qing agreed and said, "Indeed." Quin: "Can you guys have some respect for me, I'm the leader of the XANA organization." Li: "Not soon." Yu Qing smiled: "I know it all. After the architect gave me VR on that rainy night, he left." Li: "The builder didn't see the wrong person." Yu Qing: "After I leave, you?" Quin ruffian laughed: "Nan saw you left, and stopped, and Miao Tian also continued to be his local snake in District F." Li added: "Nan caused inflation in the real world at the beginning was unintentional, but after it was caused, he lost his memory. He has been receiving different orders from the same person since then. He said he didn't know who gave him, but He had no choice but to see what he did in the picture of Feng's recovery, and he regretted it very much, but we asked him about the person who gave him the order behind the scenes. He said he didn't know, the original order has always Just one, let him wreak havoc on the XANA organization, that's why these things happen." Yu Qing: "Yes." Feng: "Do you know who it is?" Yu Qing smiled: "It should be."

Sophia: Work mode activated. Manager No.3709, consciousness shifts to the physical body from 10:00 am, XANA common time. Please wait in a safe place. 5 minutes left to move. I checked the room lock and sat down on a chair. Sophia continues in a well-defined voice. Sophia: We have 3 minutes left. It's a daily thing, but this time before the consciousness shift, I can't handle it. I exercises to kill time every day by drawing a picture in my head from the beginning of this world to the present. Yesterday ended in 20XX, so today is the continuation of that. An era when there was no land in the world where humans could move around due to the explosion of population. Researchers have come up with the idea of ​​placing the physical body in a small box and placing it in the real world, and sending only the consciousness to the virtual space. Fortunately, advances in technology made it easy to implement. For people who could not have a personal space, the infinite breadth of the virtual space was said to be a treasure above all else. The foundations of life are being transferred to virtual space one after another, the digitization of assets, the shift of companies to virtual space, the establishment of methods for identifying individuals in a world where it is easy to change one's appearance... everything has been transferred to to virtual space, and the real world has become a warehouse of physical bodies. People have given a name to the new world.『XANA』The world I live in now. Sophia: The transfer of consciousness to the physical body has been completed. Start a health diagnosis. Please remain lying down and do not move. A slight vibration is transmitted to the body along with a mechanical sound. I've gotten used to it by now, but at first it felt scary and unavoidable.

Sophia: Today's business, all clear. Consciousness shifts to XANA. Enter the box and put on the device. I put my heavy body in the box and quickly attach the equipment. Working hours are shorter if you do what you do. It's the only thing that makes this job worthwhile. Sophia: Check for proper attachment of the device. Close your eyes and relax your body. Start the countdown: 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2, 1. ...... The next moment, you feel as if gravity on your body has disappeared. You are free of muscle aches and the discomfort of the artificial food that had been lodged in your belly forever disappears. Sophia: The shift of consciousness to XANA has been completed. Check motion. Move your body lightly. Stand up from your chair and move your arms and head back and forth and side to side as you walk. My neck seems to be happy that I don't have to support my heavy head. Sophia: Motion confirmation complete. There is no problem. Tomorrow, we will start working at 10:00 am XANA common time. Thank you for your hard work. Thanks for all your hard work Sophia. Please unlock this room and change to normal mode. Sophia: Okay. Unlocked! I'll get in touch with Nagisa as well. According to the schedule I heard before, maybe we can meet today? I feel the corners of my mouth naturally turn up as I say, "Thank you. It has been almost 10 years since we started dating when we were students, but I still get excited just to see him. After a while, the notification sound of the visitor rings. I saw the vision and immediately asked Sophia to unlock the door. I made a short run for the front door. Nagisa: Good evening. I bought a new game, so I thought I'd play it with you. Come in. If you'd have told me, I would have opened the lock... Nagisa: What? I contacted Sophia... right? Nagisa tilted her head when she saw the AI ​​Marine Marin and Sophia looked at each other mischievously.
