3.Cultural Shift

“Zee—ing---“ I am connecting to the Multi-Play VR game “Fly Days”

As I wear a head gear set, I can see the new world in front of me. On my hand, the sword Chikra is sending out blue light. It costs about 10,000 Pernies. (Game Money)

"Looking my smile, Sacotany says to me."

"Why do you laughing?"

"Ah, I bought this one with great ambition, Wow look at this lighting."

Sacotany is woman character who is my party since I was in level 15 to here, do everything with me. But I don’t know real she is woman or man, I guess, she is a woman with her expressions.

"Hey let’s go and hunt."

We fly away riding phoenix.

This game was developed by game company ‘N’ five years ago. It contained 3D movies graft into game. That time electronic company ‘A’ showed the head gear system, they made great works making many issues and addicts. The reason is elaborate game graphic to express character’s face emotion clearly. The sensor in head gear set read human’s eye acting and synchronizes with visual view. And user take sensors on foot and hand, making motion and attacking with pressure system.

We almost arrived destination Fell Forest. There was only we in this forest, the hometown of wild monster. We walked onto road nervously. At the moments, I can see a huge belly. Two of ogre more than twice height stared at us with shaking their head. Two heads on one body were talking each other. Because of few days ago update make we interpret their language.

They said they’ll kill us. Another ogre ignored our team.

"Oh, you ignore us, massacring whole ogres in this forest in few days ago. You commit mistake."

We have postion and move slowly to ogres. I, sword man, run to ogre immediately, use skill to them and she, magician, speak spell defend me from physical attack. Then, Sacotany uses skill icebrake to ogre cold air blowing to ogre and attack their body.

The best system of this game is conference system. Inducting this head gear system, many people can experience in virtual reality and many company inquiry to game company about virtual conference. So, N made another virtual conference system. While people in different place come into one virtual place, it makes good efficiency and economic savings.

Some university makes lecture system in this game. It is experiment but, it is renovation thing that makes lecture and discussion simple and save image to making replay video. Many cultural life shift into this game, actually, not only movie play in game but also there are some virtual real environment to experience in movie place. It is participation movie and make many people take part in this game.

There are also many problems. Some connected people in this game for 4 days fell down and lose their consciousness. And the issue is less exercise people because of this game culture not moving. Another view, many people can’t trust each other for deceiving information correct to him. Not communication with playing generation and not playing generation is also serious problem. No one find contact points these people.

However, we were victory and get some experience points.

"Good job, Saco. You save my life"

"Oh, Come on boy. It’s just team play."

Suddenly I was curious about her real situation and living place.

"Saco, We have been done good team work until this time, if you don’t unpleasant, I hope to see you in real world?"

"What? Real World?"

"Yes."

"……… It’s real world to me, no one ignore me. And I like this world."

"I can see tear in her eyes."

"Ah, come on, it’s a joke. I like you in this world, too. I’m sorry…"

But I didn’t have solution of wondering, so I decide to find out her IP address.

One day, I called my friend who is a famous hacker, and asked him the way finding IP address.

"What? It’s crime to know one’s information. Give up man."

"Hey, you do that in everyday. Why not me?"

He talked me about the way and let me know the important thing is erasing my traces.

So, I connected to game to meet her.

The first step is to know about e-mail address. So I asked her e-mail address.

"Why do you know my e-mail? Ha?"

"I will send you about the information of this game. I obtain it from gamer friend."

"Really? Wow. Send me. Right now."

So, I send her some important information and she replied thank e-mail.

I took this e-mail to hacking program and get some IP address. And I was shocked.

It’s nearby my home. Saco is my neighbor!!!

So I remembered about my neighbor’s face.

My neighbor is … the man meeting on elevator in everyday.

Oh my God!!!!

After that time I gave up playing with my character. I decided to raise another new character.

It was shocking event because I really love her, Sacotany. But, I realized the game is not real.

Sometimes I remembered acting and hunting with Saco, on meeting the neighbor on elevator.

It’s a terrible thing falling in love on virtual reality Because, It’s not real!!
