1166 Words
"Do you want to try to get into one of these? Shiro?"
"Could I?"
"Of course. I have been informed by the lead engineer that to let you test it first. While we're at the topic of this, you remember that there's one other person that is on your side in this matter, right?"
"Yeah. The whole face of the game stuff. I remember that. It's you and one other person right?"
"Correct. Coincidentally, the other person who's supporting you is the lead engineer of this machine. She's the one who designed the machine and convinced the company to make sure that this machine comes to fruition."
I see... It's her huh... I should've seen it coming from miles away judging from what's been going on these past couple of weeks... It's idiotic of me to not even think of the possibility of her NOT being on my side...
The queen of tech. That's what she's known for. In term of genius level, she's on a whole another level than me. It's none other than her... The one who we should meet first when we get to Ibiza.
"It's Hanami huh."
"Oh my! You know her? She never puts her information out there!"
"Well, I know my ways. No need to worry about it. Hanami and I have been friends for a while."
Through Rio's connection, I get in contact with Hanami and the three of us talked about the weakness of VR headset... I know that she has an idea on how to get rid of that problem. But to think that she actually follow through and make it happen in a short amount of time... That what makes her the real genius...
Hanami supposed to be greeting us in the airport when we landed. But, I guess she just want to meet up with Rio the first thing and go on a little ride with him. That's why I didn't see Rio arriving. Meanwhile, Dion and Sakura is passed out on their room now.
"Haah... To think that it would be happening like this... I guess I'll try out Hanami's Deep Dive Machine."
"Very well then. I'll inform Miss Hanami about your arrival since you seem to know each other. So, please enjoy the system while waiting for her arrival."
"Sure thing. Just make sure to say this. 'Don't slam me when I wake up!'. Got it?"
"Understood. I don't know why but I understand."
Well, Hanami is a little bit cheeky. She's going to do anything to annoy me whenever she gets the chance to annoy me. That's why I said him to tell her that. When I wake up from this, I'm going to take a little bit of time to collect my soul. That's when Hanami will strike me down... I'm going to avoid that...
Anyway... Without waiting any longer... I enter the Deep Dive machine and then close the lid down... I close my eyes and then press the button right beside me. My consciousness just went blank and I was greeted by the login screen of Eclipse Online.
"That was fast as heck! What the f**k?!"
It's a lot faster than normal VR headset. I guess Deep Dive System really have decked out spec that it allows for faster running... Which is fine for me... I have a lot of money to afford at least two of this machine...
Anyway, I log into the game with OneSec and then it started calibrating my character with my mind... I can immediately feel that it was different. It's definitely a lot easier for me to move and make small adjustment. No matter how much I move to make that adjustment, it can keep up with all of the things I wanted to do. Making it easier for me to perceive the world and make my next move...
"Oh wow... This is... Amazing..."
I gulped from the amazingness of the machine and I immediately thought of what I should do next. I should do some RTA to see if my movement really improved against other player...
I went to the Arena Menu and started to Queue for RTA. Since I'm unranked, it should be easier for me to get an opponent because of it, and it's true. Less than three seconds and I already found my match. From his profile picture, he could be an assassin type fighter...
So, I'm not at any disadvantage or advantage or anything. We're both Assassin. So we're on even playing ground...
I was teleported straight to the arena where tons of people are watching. Cheers and Jeers were thrown toward us both. My opponent seems to be unfazed. He looks at me without any remorse. So I look back at him while pointing my King's Dagger at him...
"OneSec huh. I never thought that I would meet you this quickly..."
This guy immediately said that to my face... The countdown started and I just sigh...
"I don't have time to chatter with trash like you..."
"Then, let this trash give you some time to chat then!"
He immediately dashed straight toward me. He is defenseless and I didn't see him putting any trap down. So... I just use Godspeed and dashed straight back at him.
"Eh?"
Before he noticed, a large chunk of his neck has been taken off... I turn around and he turned around. I just spew out a large chunk of his neck and then put away my daggers...
"I've taken out your neck. So you shouldn't be able to chat now. Right?"
That feeling was amazing... I can see the weakness properly. My eyes is also slowing things down when I'm right beside the guy... Allowing me to quickly use my momentum to take off his neck with my teeth...
I'm planning to bite his neck off, pivot to the side and then bite again. But that would be overkill. The thing I need to know that it is possible. I just decided not to do it...
"Oh wow... This is some amazing project that Hanami made..."
The match ended and I got teleported back to Coggensville...
"I guess, there's something that is worth keeping from this game if I were to become the game face huh..."
This thrill of being able to use all of my being in the game... Is just the best feeling that I ever felt... The excitement that I got just from thinking about it is giving me extra power and motivation to do my best...
That's when I received a message...
'Yo, Shiro-boy. I'm waiting for you to finish up your game.'
When someone calls me with the specific Shiro-boy, it's Hanami. So I immediately log out and I see Hanami's waiting for me outside of the Deep Dive System...
Long Black Hair with a small flower tattoo on the side of her neck, combined with a pair of violet eyes and a very fashionable look... Beside her is Rio.
"Yo. Long time no see, Hanami."
