001 ☠ text

[When Kuroneko first arrived in Genessia, she thought it was a bad dream like any newcomer would. But she was stuck in this alternate reality for days, so there must be something weird going on here. She had mostly been sticking to herself in her room, either writing fanfiction or attempting to use her newly issued phone to find something other than Genessia communication. But that could only occupy only so much of her time. So she decides to put a message out there. After all, it can't be too bad if they're just like forums, right?]

I'm sure there are several posts of people asking about where they are. But I have a couple of questions for you, denizens of Genessia.

1. What kind of ridiculous premise is this? Is this one of those trendy stuck in an MMORPG light novels? Whatever demons brought us here could have done much better. You gave me money and an NPC introduction, but at least there should be some sort of power or class system. And what's with the setting? Are they trying to combine "stuck in a high fantasy world" with an urban fantasy? Please tell the creators to either actually put some effort in or else throw themselves off a cliff.

2. Are we able to get cable or internet eventually? Firstly, I need to check my news sites. Additionally, if this place is worth anything it will air the greatest masterpiece known to humankind, aka Maschera ~Lament of a Fallen Beast~. I would like to see if it is here, and I recommend you all to watch it.

I don't think this is a game exactly or that many have thought of it that way.

[Though she knows a few people who has thought of it that way.]

I haven't been able to get the internet. I miss Netflix but there are movie stores. There isn't access to our homes unless we open a sub-archway.

Hope this helps.

[was kirino actually seeing this right? she couldn't believe her eyes, not at all. when she saw kuroneko's text she had dropped her device. when she realized that this was definitely kuroneko's obnoxious writing she felt like she wanted to cry. when she tried to reply she had already felt herself beginning to cry.

this was insane, this was completely ridiculous, and she could not believe that her best friend was now in this place. kuroneko was here, kuroneko was actually here. instead of answering any of kuroneko's questions, kirino just sends her a frantic text message.]

wh ere are yu o?!

This is hardly a MMORPG, if it were it would be a really boring one. Though, if we get to demand the genre, wouldn't it be better if it were a mystery adventure game?

Still, I would sum this place up as more of a sandbox with multiplayer.

It seems more like a multi genre crossover.

There's a chance of finding familiar manga in the library.

here i am
the only one in this place with fucking answers

1) its a ridiculous premise yes
your hologram weiss isnt an npc tho im under the impression shes more like the princess here
the horrorterrors have decided this is mmo is a sandbox with a focus on urban fantasy shenanigans
is it slice of life ???
but like sometimes it goes full on scifi
i dont want to get way too meta here so well chalk this up to
the setting is "yes" and the plot is "probably"
the power class system in place is imported from your prior game
so if you had no powers last time youre shit outta luck there
your inventory is also imported from your last game so i hope you had everything you wanted on you
theres hella effort but also this game fucking sucks sometimes
the worldmap is limited to the designated cities
people disconnect at fucking random and never come back
and friendly fire is on
respawns have consequences
watch the fuck out

2) yes
but in order to avoid multiuniversal copyright laws
everything is a knockoff version unless you brought it with you
i could probably alchemize that shit for you if you describe it for me tho

I think I'm one of the only people who knows my stats, so, not an MMORPG light novel, no.

Also, I wouldn't call Weiss an NPC to her face.

As for Internet, er, I think that'd be Nova City. Maybe?

These phones are totally useless when it comes to the net and apps.

Ah! A theory to rival that of the Ultimate Gamer! Not...that Ibuki knows what she would think about all this since Chiaki-chan isn't here. But I bet she'd know how to unlock all the extras...

Oh!

[There's not quite a lightbulb over her head but the idea's close enough.]

Maybe it's a different genre. Like that game where you make all the little people and their houses and then send them to work or make babies or not get out of swimming pools because there's no ladder. Maybe even right now, there's someone watching us waiting for little numbers to go up or down!

Then what exactly is this? Do tell me.

I see. How disappointing. If we actually were brought here by mysterious dark powers beyond our control, they could have at least given us the internet.

Excuse me? Your words are barely comprehensible. Talk to me after you go to grade school.

[Kuroneko was always this blunt usually, but she didn't know Kirino was on the other side. She didn't really appreciate this seemingly non-sequitur reply. If only she knew...she would probably reply the same way, actually. But inside, she would be so happy to know her best friend was here.]

you stupid annoying CAT! TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!

[she just didn't have time for this right now, she needed kuroneko more than anything.]

please- it's kirino

I see. Interesting. You're correct in this place barely sufficing for an interesting MMORPG. I only assumed because it is the banal trend in light novel and anime series.

Mystery adventure games are alright. At least they're not eroge. But even the most perverted eroge would be preferable to this "sandbox with multiplayer" idea. So the creators couldn't even come up with a plot?

How is this place multiple genres? Are there more people like me who are the agents of darkness stuck as mundane humans?

[She's a little bit excited about the prospect of manga in the library, though.]

And...huhuhu~ is that so? Perhaps I shall be checking out the library then, to see if it is up to par with my tastes.

Well, life doesn't really have a "plot". And I would rather the most boring of situations than have to live in an eroge.

I've gotten several answers from others already. Don't flatter yourself.

Firstly, at least there is some fantasy element to this. I can still sense dark energy, so I knew about powers already. And what are these other cities? Are they as boring as this one?

If there were going to take us with our pre-existing abilities, they could have at least placed us in a setting where we can use them.

[Not that you'd want that, Kuroneko. You're a normie with chuunibyou.]

Secondly, that sounds ridiculous. How could they not have Maschera? Even with your offer, I highly doubt you can come close.

Yes, many others have said the same thing...at the very least, we're not living in a cliche.

I can call her whatever I'd like. She was the one explaining things to me, therefore an NPC. She looked like an angel too...my mortal enemy...

And where is Nova City? Why is there only one place that has a working internet connection?

I've figured that out, unfortunately.

Which means they're totally useless in general.

[Those devil horns...Kuroneko is into the Gothic Lolita look and not so much the rocker look, but she could appreciate the horns-like hairstyle.]

I have no idea what you're talking about. Chiaki-chan? Little numbers? You are aware that I'm new here, right?

[Regardless, Kuroneko doesn't play The Sims.]

[Could it be? Kirino was here, and she was spending all that time alone? She didn't recall Kirino coming to this place with her...but then again who else refers to her like that?]

You could've been clearer. I'm in the Commons.

Or I can go to where you are.

[She realizes how stupid that would be in hindsight, given that she didn't know anything about navigating through Genessia. But she'd do it to find her best friend.]

But if we were brought into a game, it'd be preferable. Or at least have given us some tasks to do. At least there's that in an eroge.

[She's a little frustrated that all her video game skill can't help her in this place. And she'd always judge her best friend for her eroge tastes but...at least that would be interesting. Kuroneko always had to make her own ordinary interesting herself.]

Well, besides these devices, which can cross cities? Nova's the higher-tech place, so if your world's higher-tech, they're more likely to be where you'd find a home. Genessia is a couple notches lower. After that, you're largely in pre-electrical areas, beyond what the people bring in.

im coming

[kirino didn't say much else in her text since she was already out the door. she has only been leaving and hanging out with certain people, but she has gotten better since that initial scary incident happened. she has dave, and now kuroneko is here. she has mixed feelings about it, since she wants her friend around more than anything- but she doesn't want kuroneko to ever be in danger.

even so, kirino was selfish, and she wanted kuroneko around, that was all.

it didn't take long for kirino to reach the commons, and once she spotted kuroneko she just ran over to her. she could have stopped, mocked kuroneko, she could have teased her and said 'oh look, you followed me? idiot cat' but instead kirino did something that was completely unlike her.

kirino ran to her, and hugged kuroneko tight.]

You..... y-you.....! [kirino was definitely crying.] ......I've.... I've been here for months now, w-without any of you...! I... I just....! [nope, she couldn't really speak with how much she sobbed against her friend.]

Alas this isn't actually a game, even if you think it is. And....

Well, I suppose some people would like that, but it seems like more work than it would actually be worth in the end.

Then let Ibuki explain. Chiaki-chan is Ibuki's friend and the Ultimate Gamer. So she would know without doubt if this were a game or not. Second, I believe it's common that games indicate the success or failure of a conversation with increases or decreases in numbers. Or at least little green plusses and red minuses. But since characters in games never react to those, obviously only the person playing us would see them.

[All makes perfect sense to her.]

I don't think my world is particularly high-tech. But there was at least internet. At least this explains why this city is so boring. Are there any cities with demons and witches?
