genessia | Level 2 [Video] Arcade Job Hunt

[Video]

Okay, usually most teens get very mad at being snatched away from their homeworld like me. But...

Seeing other people turned into monsters for Halloween, a news that a video game console that can turn into a cube, and of course, so many video games that I never have seen before! I even saw a place that is a real-life version of MMORPG. And it's not just a virtual reality game, an MMORPG with a holographic world!

It's like someone peeked through my wishlist and just dumped everything at my doorstep! I'm really in a modern version of Isekai heaven!

Although...

[The camera zooms out from Aaron, revealing he's filming inside his apartment at Genessia Commonspace.]

I wish I can stay something more glamorous than this old dump. I'm glad it's just a temporary housing, but still...

[He sighs in dismay as he lies down on his bed.]

Might as well I should start hunting for a new job, then...

[Action] Arcade Job Hunt

[Since he isn't in New York anymore, he has to do something about education and money. But mostly money as he wants to move out of that lame apartment he's currently staying. Right now, he is outside the Level Up Arcade as he stared at its large sign. He already visited the other arcade in Nova City, but he has to skip it since he dislikes matchmaking and arcade together.

Though even he is here for a job hunt, he just enters the establishment and played a few arcade games inside. He doesn't want to get bored of thinking anyway.]

Oh great, a gamer. Just what this place needed.

What in the blazes is isekai?

[Terrific, an adult responding to his video. But he can't reveal his true feelings yet. He might as well bear with it for now.]

Well, deal with it. This place needs more gamers than ever.

[He wished that he has sunglasses to put on when saying that, though.]

It's a Japanese word for "another world". I thought it's one of those scenarios where a teenager got dragged into a fantasy world. Doubt this one is one of those worlds.

[Carver rolls his eyes behind his own sunglasses for the kid.] Go to Fayren and Everglade, then say that.

Especially now. [Shows off his demon bat wings.]

Fayren and Everglade?

[His eyes widen when he sees the demon bat wings and not before long, he begins to laugh at this sight.]

Don't tell me you're cursed as well?!

[Annoyed by the laughter, but whatever, he can take it.]

Obviously. Well. Semi-obviously. Not everyone not human is cursed. Some just are that way.

"Not human"? You lost me there...

[He wished he could read his mind about what he really feels about his words. But alas, he's currently in a video chat and he has to bear with mind-reading-less conversation for a while.]

This isn't Earth. Not everyone dragged here is taken from Earth. Some people were vampires, demons, unicorns, skeletons, or whatever to begin with. Including the native people here.

[So in other words, every fantasy and horror race were dragged here in Genessia as well? Aaron just stares at the man in disbelief.]

Please tell me you're serious...

I am.

Is that an... isekai trope?

With what you've just said, I think so...

Is that good or bad for you?

Well, it's good since elves and dwarves exist here. But I don't know much about vampires and other horror monsters...

It's probably better to start off with assuming you know nothing if they didn't have them in your world, and even if they did, because there are differences in people planet to planet.

[Aaron groans in dismay.]

I wish they exist there. It's already boring with cybernetic superhumans back home. I can't even enjoy TV with news of every Readers and stuff there.

Can you expand on that?

My world doesn't even have what you just listed.

Well, we have this strange outbreak back home. Literal smoke made of data appearing, people gaining superpowers from them... To us, we called those affected "Data-Readers". Ever since then, we've been living with them for a while now.
