Breaking News!

Hello, today on Japan-NHK Worldwide, our topic is going to be the game that took the world by storm. Amidst the turmoil and hardships of reality, there is an escape to everything!

Since the release of Infinity two months ago, the world is clearly enjoying the success of the new reality. The concept of Infinity is to be free, become what you want to become and be the best at whatever you may choose. Infinity has truly changed the world and lately the country of Japan is currently rising up in the technology and economic charts as the game’s country origin.

Infinity is truly a new generation of technology and gaming in one package. The realism and impact of Infinity is surreal that people even proclaim the Infinity game as the real world. Of course, with the concept of Virtual Reality, there are infinite possibilities and with those possibilities there are evil choices but the Kurogane Inc has truly brought their game to everyone’s expectations!

With the world taken by storm by Infinity, today we have a guest star on set, he is the main character behind the scenes, the main protagonist that brought us this new reality...the man that made everything a possibility...Keiji Nakamura!

Keiji: Ah, thanks for having me on the set, Ms. Inahara. It is a great honor to be on a news channel that is being broadcasted to the entire world!

Inahara: So, CEO Nakamura---

Keiji: Ah, no need for formalities, just call me Mr. Keiji, Ms. Inahara. I seem to hate formalities when discussing important topics.

Inahara: Haha! So, Mr. Keiji is quite the humble man. Anyways, today we invited you onto the show so you could tell us more about the game. Is there anything that you would like to inform the world?

Keiji: Yes. For starters, I know everyone likes Infinity because it is a fun game, yes but at the same time, I want to tell everyone this.. Infinity may be a game but it is also another Reality. If you were to treat Infinity as your world, you will see things more differently and you can fully experience the new world.

Inahara: Such words from the man that brought Infinity to everyone! Before we go into the game clips of various players that experienced their first raid battle, Mr. Keiji, my sources stumbled upon a rumour that Infinity was created for a certain person. Will you be able to enlighten us about this person?

Keiji: I guess I will have to enlighten everyone for a little while...As you may have found out secretly, this game was actually created for a certain someone. This someone has lived through reality but after coming so far, this person did not like the result of their so called ‘reality’. Whatever the result was, this person was fed up with reality so I took it upon using the best of my abilities and my resources to create this new world!

Inahara: Aha! Who is this certain someone! Is it Mr. Keiji’s secret fiancée!

Keiji: No...I am still single, mind you…

Inahara: Oho...so is Mr. Keiji looking for potential candidates...am I considered a choice…

Keiji: A...hah...Ms. Inahara..it would be quite troublesome if things escalate from your words...but anyways, I created this game specifically for this certain person so that person can escape the chains of reality and become truly free!

Inahara: And there you have! Mr. Keiji Nakamura! A round of applause! Now, let’s go to the footage of the players…

Bzzzt…

The Kurogane Corporation became an entirely new superpower over the course of two months since the release of their game, Infinity and the new technology breakthrough. The world is still engulfed in turmoil but thanks to the effort of the Infinity game and the constant military missions, the world is gradually returning back to normal.

The ISIS members have begun to disband due to their leaders being killed and their hideouts being subjugated and bombed out of commission.

Their territories have shrunk to the islamic state of Iraq and the united forces are going to finish the job…

…

…

It was 0245, early in the morning at FOB Desert Dragon. The people were being rounded up and everyone quickly woke up. Multiple company commanders, platoon leaders and various officers were shouting orders for the soldiers to get into formation.

Even as they shouted, they could not be careless. As the leaders delivered commands, they often snuck glances at the figure that was sitting outside of the tent in a criss cross position. Many of the new soldiers did not know who this person was but they could tell that they had to avoid this man. This man was radiating a powerful presence as others could sense his bloodlust.

They shuddered in fear and no one would dare interrupt the man as he continued to sit in his resting position.

Commander Bridge had already suited up and Commander Elis was preparing herself in the tent. She could feel the man’s presence and she hurried up in order to avoid being yelled at.

Commander Elis stormed out of the tent and some of the soldiers were about to laugh because she came out of another man’s tent but they wouldn’t dare make a peep because there was a man that could very easily kill them right outside the tent.

As the entire military base continued to prepare, the forward attack unit had already set off to Iraq along with the air support unit as they will engage first.

The Russian forces also combined with the military forces and everyone was in formation. The commanders were in their respected positions as they waited for the man that was in charge of all them.

Suddenly, the pressure around them grew heavy and everyone saw the man that immediately stood up.

With his Katana blade in his right hand, he walked with a commander’s aura directly to the area where the commanders had gotten into position. With a swift walk, he stood in front of the commanders as they saluted him. The man placed his katana in his belt socket and returned the salute and the commanders did the same.

The soldiers were in anticipation as they never experienced this kind of daunting pressure. The pressure of an entire legion of soldiers was being radiated from that single man. They watched and suddenly, the man’s voice boomed over the entire base…

“TODAY! We will fight and end this pointless war! I will be fighting alongside everyone and I will make sure that we win this stupid war! Everyone, we’ve made it this far in 2 months and today will be the end...SO LET’S HEAD OUT!”

The man yelled with such vigor that some of the leaders shuddered in fright and many flinched out of their position, losing their bearings….

Yes, this man was their leader, Ichiro…

…

…

Looking over this brigade, I had fun times but I cannot guarantee that everyone will make it alive...this is why I hate war...pointless deaths are stupid and people should not give their lives...but I will fight together with these men..and end this war...so I can be free..from these chains…

I salute everyone and the entire formation dispersed and everyone began to move out. It was exactly 0300 in the morning and many of the air support units had left FOB Desert Dragon with the forward unit.

I quickly made my way to the head of the entire formation and everyone entered their vehicle transportation. While at the head formation, a black AH-64 Apache Gunship had descended from the skies and the rest of the commanders got in the helicopter. I was the last one to enter the gunship and we immediately ascended into the sky and made our way towards Iraq…

…

…

The world was focusing on Infinity but the countries were entirely depending on one man that lead the final action to stopping the world menace: ISIS.

The entire Iraqi state (mainly Baghdad and Al Hillah) was bombed by multiple air strikes and invaded by multiple fronts. People were being killed as the entire state was filled with ISIS members.

ISIS was being forced to resort to extreme measures but Ichiro’s forces had already prevented them and killed the underground threats from exploding.

At Al Hillah, in a square garden, there was a heavily armed man and another man holding a katana in the center…

…

…

I see...Abu Omar al-Shishani..he wants to kill himself along with me…

I quickly dismissed the other military personnels and left the entire square garden empty except for me and him.

I look at him as he was swearing at me in arabic and I glared at him back…

“So, look at you now. You are a pathetic excuse for a father. After I spared you and your family...you abandoned them and became the ISIS leader...I should’ve killed you a long time ago...but they would’ve just elected a different leader...but now, I eliminated your entire force. They are either prisoners of war or they have already died...So Abu Omar...what is your choice?”

“Hah! You silly Jap! I bet you are working with that poor excuse of a leader, President Howard of the bullshit United States of America! I will not surrender! I would rather die than become a silly torture subject for your stupid army!”

Abu Omar tensed his position and I looked at him menacingly. He wasn’t afraid of death and I wasn’t either but I wasn’t going to die...not now, not ever…

Before Abu Omar could move...time froze for me..

I looked around and the air was still as if it was frozen. Abu Omar’s body was frozen and did not move. This was Ryoma’s….Kurogane Clan’s technique of subjugation. To encase the world still through the mind of the user...as the user perceives the world still, he will move faster than anything possible…

Almost immediately, the world returned to normal and Abu Omar reached for his detonation but unfortunately for him, his limbs were cut off and the bomb was disarmed already by me.

I look at his pathetic expression and Abu Omar screamed in pain as blood gushed out from his four limbs. His eyes were bulging out and snot guzzled out of his nostrils and he passed out. The medic unit heard the scream and immediately rushed to the area. They saw the gruesome state that Abu Omar was in and they looked at me in fear. I glared at them back and pointed them to leave. The medics left the area and I immediately began to finish my job…

I raise my katana blade in a diagonal formation and I immediately behead Abu Omar and the screaming ended peacefully and the entire square garden was covered in blood. My black outfit was tarnished with blood and I carefully wiped my blade edge with a smooth cloth and immediately sheathed my weapon.

I exit the garden and looked at the surrounding area.

The buildings were half blown up and some portions were on fire but majority of the commanders and various officers gathered in front of the area where I was at.

Commander Bridge and Commander Elis looked at me in astonishment as they saw the copious amount of blood on me and they saw the blood trail behind me.

I looked at them and they immediately saluted me…

Commander bridge spoke first…

“Sir, The world thanks you for your support! As the representative of the European military, I thank you on behalf of the European Union! Mister Ichiro, I know you will be leaving...but I hope we will meet again…”

Commander Elis looked at me with expectant eyes but she saluted and spoke…

“Sir, on behalf of the United Kingdom, The Royal military would like to extend our thanks to you! Even then...Mister Ichiro...I-i...I would like to...ma-mar…”

I looked at Lina and she was blushing but I immediately brushed off her words and looked at everyone…

“Listen...don’t thank me...everyone did their job correctly...All I did was guide you...this is your victory...I would like if everyone were to forget me. I will be disappearing...also as a warning...if you intend to spread out rumours or information about me, I will find you and you might disappear too...anyways, I will be going!”

A rope descended from the sky and everyone looked above.

They saw a private escort helicopter with a mysterious emblem on the side. It was two katanas that crossed each other in a seal. The katanas were black and radiated a regal aura even though it was a simple emblem on the side of the helicopter.

I grabbed the rope and I was immediately whisked away. I quickly climbed the rope using my expert dexterity and agility. I waved everyone good-bye and finally...I am going home…

I quickly pull out my phone and made my call…

*Drrring Drrring!

“Ahh, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe...everything is done...now...about our deal…”

“Yes, yes. It is already installed. I already had contacted your agent and he already installed the Dive pod into your home and the game came with it…”

“Good..Now, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe...I want to make sure no one knows about me...either pay them off or I will kill them myself. This includes that news reporter, Elaine Amber of News channel 45.”

“Alright, Ichiro-kun...but before we end communications...are you sure you do not want to join the Japanese army...they could use a proper leader of fantastic achievements...we had already gained our---”

“I already know about the proposal you made during the Summit Meeting, Prime Minister. But, my decision is already made. Just like Vladimir Putin had suggested to me, I will give you the same answer...I will have to refuse. I will not return to the military...I am already done with everything...now...I am going to return home and enjoy my new life…”

*Click!

I hung up before Shinzo Abe could respond and I look down below as the Iraqi state was no longer being bombed but everything was being seized and multiple military groups could be seen running about.

I close the helicopter door hatch and finally began to sleep for the ride back home…

…

…

The world had regained peace once again. Many people would give thanks to the military forces of the world but the world leaders and various commanders knew the real reason why peace even available...and that was thanks to the Black Dragon…

It was late midnight in Japan and a large helicopter rotor could be heard above a neighborhood in Niigata. Many of the Japanese citizens wondered what happened that night as they clearly heard a helicopter but there was no evidence of one being there.

A certain house had lit up in the middle of the night and finally...a new story of adventure is starting...
