(BONUS STORY - DO NOT SKIP!)
Yeah, so... let introduce myself.
The na’s Kyouya Kanzaki. Twenty years old. My place is just a flat in Kabukicho, Shinjuku – you know, that neon-soaked part of Tokyo that never really sleeps.
It’s funny, because I do think so.
I’m currently living alone, which is exactly how I prefer it.
Marriage? Pass.
Haven’t quite seen the XP gain in that.
Honestly, the thought of sharing my perfectly optimized gaming space...
No, thanks. I’m perfectly fine being alone.
My job now is "private investigator." Which mostly ans I get to pick my cases, unlike before. Before that, yeah, I was a police detective.
And honestly, that was a grind. The endless paperwork, the mind-numbing bureaucracy, the constant stream of minor infractions that wasted precious departntal resources... it was like being stuck in a tutorial level for years.
My current gig as a PI offers sothing infinitely more valuable: flexibility.
Now, I usually get ho whenever the last raid boss finally drops, or the server maintenance kicks in. Definitely not a rigid 8 PM cutoff.
I don’t smoke. And I don’t drink either, unless it has enough caffeine to power a small village. My fuel cos from a can, not a bottle.
I typically crash around 3 AM, sotis later if there’s a big in-ga event that absolutely cannot be missed. But I always make sure I clock at least eight hours of sleep.
No exceptions.
It’s non-negotiable for optimal brain function, which, in turn, is non-negotiable for optimal gaming performance.
After setting my rig for auto-updates on my neural network and maybe a quick stretch to keep the carpal tunnel at bay – because repetitive strain injury is a real threat, people – I’m out cold. I wake up around noon, feeling... well, functional. Ready to hit the ground running, or rather, ready to hit the "play" button and delve back into another digital world.
My last dical check-up was clean. And yes, that indeed was shocking, even to . My diet consists largely of instant ran and whatever delivery food is fastest, but hey, my IRL stats are apparently fine.
Deep down, I simply wish for a quiet life.
Nothing grand. No aspirations for fa, fortune, or saving the world. Just enough peace to dive into any ga I want, especially those VRMMORPGs.
They’re vast, complex, and offer true escapism.
I go out of my way to avoid real-world problems – things like police bureaucracy, office politics, or the constant, unpredictable demands of being a detective that used to eat into my precious sleep, and more importantly, my gaming ti.
That’s my strategy for dealing with society: minimal engagent, maximum imrsion.
And, you may call crazy, but that’s what makes genuinely happy.
It’s a simple philosophy, really.
Find what brings you peace, and defend it fiercely.
Sure, I’ll drop by Kenta’s place sotis.
His family’s decent. They actually get it, sohow. They don’t bombard with questions about my life choices or tell to "get a real job."
They just let chill, raid their fridge, maybe hop on their console for a bit when my own screen ti feels too intense. It’s... comfortable.
No pressure. Just good, low-key interactions.
A nice break from the pixelated chaos, or the real-world one.
Winning or losing in a ga matters; it gets a reaction out of . Its inherent competitiveness gets the blood pumping, makes analyze, strategize, adapt.
But real-life "winning and losing"? That’s a total waste of energy. It’s ssy, unpredictable, and the rewards are rarely worth the effort.
My only real goal is uninterrupted ga ti. That’s my ideal existence. If sothing, or soone, dares to ss with that... well, things tend to get complicated. Very quickly. My tranquil digital bubble is my sanctuary, and I don’t tolerate trespassers.
Because yes, I prefer a quiet life.
But if anyone ever tries to directly interfere with my gaming, or threatens the fragile peace of my little digital world, especially if it impacts the gas themselves or the players within them... I won’t lose.
Not to a single soul. They’ll find out just how un-quiet I can be.
Alright, that’s all.
Or not at all.
Apparently, I need to tell you who I am and why I am here.
So, without any further ado, let’s begin this story of mine quickly.
Right here, right now.
