《Artificial Fantasy》[Hayate] Entry 1: Reactions

October 18, 2050
Well... This day was interesting. I was glad Kazuki made a suggestion about the journals since I can share my true feelings and thoughts about Isekai in general. Though I doubt I can say any of all my thoughts since this is a shared journal (so in case you're reading this, Kaz, you're not reading about my dirty secrets here!).
Now then, we just logged into Isekai Online for the first time (and basically the ADVR itself) and so far, our experience inside the game was a bit... shocking. And I mean in a good way since I was surprised at how realistic the virtual world in the game. Not only that I can feel any objects created by data, but I can smell and hear the crowd in a city called . To be honest, I think it's a little weird name for a city, weirder than the world's name. Then again, my Dad wasn't responsible for the naming, which I'm relieved since he has a bad naming sense in everything other than his AI projects.
What's even weirder was the people in the city (aka the players of Isekai). To be honest, I'm mostly focused more on the real world than social media and video games, so just seeing warriors, thieves, magicians, knights in shining armor, and especially, elves and half-animal people walking around the streets seemed very weird for me. Then again, I never played as many video games as my brother.
Despite this, I was also amazed by the battle system. Heck, I was surprised at how Kazuki managed to defeat some monsters after our time in the training hall. Though I can't say the same with my archery... (Could they just add a targeting system to make archery easier?!) Although, we didn't actually stay at the fields any longer due to how many people are fighting over who gets to kill the monsters there, so we end up getting some herbs so Kazu can work on his Alchemy skill.

Other than that, I admit that it was an eventful first day in Isekai. We managed to log out on time as well since not only did we have to help Mom with the dinner, but she can be very scary when we disobey her. But still, I can't help but try returning there again tomorrow. To tell you the truth, our first day in Isekai Online was kind of fun, especially with Kazuki. I just hope this game won't impede our studies, though.

Metagame
Some people get a second chance, late in life, and jump on it. Other people are on their third before they turn twenty. One was given everything they wanted, and threw it away on principle. One earned their place, but could never afford to pay the price. One never failed, right up until it mattered. One encountered nothing but failure, instead helping others achieve success. One never believed themselves worthy. One is crushed by the past, afraid of what might repeat itself. And the last never had a goal to begin with. But while nobody cared and no one was watching, they each decided to carry on in their own ways, even when that made things worse- and they did, usually, get worse. Arrows Through Reality, often called Arrows or ATR, is the world's first full-immersion Virtual Reality game, a MOBA by Granduon incorporated that didn't blow its competition out of the water, but did provide a new entry point that had millions trying their new game. Two years later, the player base has only grown, and everybody knows the most effective tactics... but while a cutting-edge AI supposedly runs the game's balance, it hasn't patched anything a single time. Well, the most effective way to do anything is subjective, right?

Anathema
The Prince used to dance — until he discovered the strings moving his legs. The Rebel used to hope — until reality slammed a door in her face. The Spy used to live for nothing but money — until he found himself a family. And the Slave craved freedom more than air — until a small hand reached to her for help. Eskela has known conflict for centuries. War had been engrained into the very soil of every one of the eight kingdoms, and blood has been smeared over history to paint a lie. When young prince Aldric, heir to the Aguki throne, learns his position is nothing but a farce, his world crumbles down around him. As he tries desperately to find power in a world determined to rob him of it, his cousin Rhiann plots to find freedom through more extreme and destructive means. Conflict does not reside in Cinthra alone, though. Erden, newly hired spymaster for the crown prince of Promnir, is tasked with keeping an eye on the kingdom’s council. The job that was supposed to just be about money quickly spirals into a fierce loyalty, one that leads him to the front lines in order to desperately prevent another war from beginning. Azala, a slave bought by the royal family of Azmosir, finds her loyalty is not nearly as solidified as that of Erden’s. But while the prince she serves plots to steal that which does not belong to him and the queen she respects holds on to a lingering desire for revenge, Azala realizes that she must choose whom to save: herself or Azmosir's defenseless and young princess.
