Evil Avalon

Chapter 1 - A man who looks like a pig

(TL:By Rafael)

--Congratulations to all new students"

　An ossan* with wide shoulders and sharp eyes is talking through the microphone while staring at me from the stage. Although he is said to be the principal of this school, the atmosphere is clearly not the same even if he wears a suit.

"Japan's pride National Adventurer High School. Here we have the latest knowledge and the best environment for you"

　Yes, it seems that this is the entrance ceremony of the adventurer school. It seems to be--

"I hope that you student will devote yourself in further improving your dormant talents and meet the expectations of the people around you."

　When I noticed, I was in the auditorium where the seats were lined up in a fan shape.

　I wondered if it was some  magnificent surprise event , but  I was a small and ordinary citizen, I couldn't give some big reaction, and the audience rating to my reaction would be meaningless as I am not some idol or Vtuber. But here--

"Whether it is entrance to the  Adventurer College  or joining a capture clan made by high ranking adventures. I think that each one of you here  has a desired course and goal, but you must  work hard with your friends to achieve them."

　This huge auditorium and that strict principal are someone familiar to me. I also know the male student with bright red hair sitting at the front and a female student with light pink semi-long wavy hairs.

　Students who brought  something like a double-edged ax or spear to the entrance ceremony can also be seen. At the very front of the center is a girl in a flashy kimono, and next to it you can see a full plate mail.

　no doubt. This is the opening scene of that game.

"I want you to spend your precious school life in such a way  so that you can have a fulfilling life without any regrets."

　No way. I  really am inside the  game.

　A full-fledged action that seeks out more powerful and rare weapons and armor, sneaks through a deadly battle with a ferocious enemy and aims at the deep dungeon, and some pretty girls-the DLC that was implemented later (DLC) * 1) Prepare multiple handsome men for female players! -Dungeon romance VRMMO, dungeon explorer chronicle that interweaves romance school adventures where you can enjoy romance. Known as "Danek".

　In short, it's a game with the tag line, "Why don't you dive in the dungeon while falling in love with your heart?"

　The initial cost is high because a head-mounted display for VR, a glove-shaped controller that can be worn in the hand, and a motion capture camera are required to play, and the manufacturer who made the game is unknown. When it was first released, it didn't sell at all, and it was a game that everyone  didn't knew about.

　However, the beautiful graphics, highly complete action, and a deep game system gradually became rumors that spread in the gaming community, and became popular with the capture characters added later, customized mode, PvP and war mode where hundreds of people can participate. It didn't take long for the game to become known to all gamers.

　I've been playing this game since my student days, even when I became a member of the  society. I am proud that my gameplay that was not good at the beginning has become quite good now that I have repeated the boss capture and interpersonal battles many times. Well, that is one advantage.

　As soon as I got home, I took a shower, squeezed in the frozen food that had been warmed in the microwave, and put on the controller gloves. Since one has to  swing his/her arms around, taking a position so as not to hit the wall or objects is required before starting  the game.

　Tracing the air with my palm and logging  in with biometric authentication. There was a mark of incoming mail. It's from Danek management.

"Okay, so I've got an update email."

　A few days ago, there was a game event sponsored by the management, "You can get the right to participate in the tester of the next large-scale update!", And I was caught by the bait and participated, but the content of the event was really hell.

　

　Tens of thousands of players gathered at the game event venue, and they were excited to expect the quest. "Hey, did you come?" "I'm looking forward to it." "My hands are shaking." "If I can clear it, I'll get married." Morobare was aiming for the right to participate in the tester, which was the event prize, although he is trying to create an atmosphere like that. He can't hide the glaring look that he habitually always pull out when he gets dead serious.

　When I was secretly restraining myself in a casual conversation, a jet-black giant dragon suddenly fell from the sky, and 10% of the participants who were trampled by a tens of thousands of tons of giant dragons immediately evaporated. In the turmoil, the top players managed to get ready and fight back, but when they hit  the thick skin  the attack did not go through properly. In no time, the dragon bursts out with a thick laser that caused instant death damage, and the players turn into side dishes one after another.

　Still, it was the experienced players who were surrounding it. They were co-ordinating with each other and moving to avoid damage and taking on aggro according to the situation? After about two hours of deadly battle, more than half of the participants were lost, but they devised a strategy and defeated the balance breaker dragon ... but that was just the beginning.

　The event venue collapses when the  players were flocking to the corpses in search of  drop items from the dragon. From there, the death escape game started. Instant death if you make a mistake in choosing the route, an on-parade of instant death traps with detection disabled so no can perceive it. A group of boss-class monsters attack along the way, and in cooperation with each other. Besides, there was an escape time limit.

　Although I was able to clear it as a result, the game  balance was almost a luck factor. It was so difficult that anyone other than me could not clear it.

　However, luck is also in the ability. Wouldn't it be nice to be honest with what one has won? the email when opened showed with the tester participation right for the large-scale update that will be rewarded. My face looses after seeing it.

　{Start the installation immediately}. If one reads diagonally what is written in the license agreement.

"Well, if you install this patch and start playing, you will be transferred to the game ... eh? Transfer?"

　What does metastasis mean? Is it such a game setting, or is it just a phrase? The game event  was also crazy, so I don't have to think deeply.

"Because it's a tester, you can't use existing characters, maybe it will be from a fresh state."

　The character is either "Random character" or "Custom character" that you make your own character, but since it is troublesome, I will go with "Random character". If you play to some extent and don't like it, you can remake the character.

"OK, the installation was completed successfully. Then I'll start right away!"

　And I pressed the game start button vigorously.

　* ・ ・ * ・ ・ * ・ ・ * ・ ・ * ・ ・ *

　HM.

　I remembered how I was here, but is it because of the update program? Is that possible?

　Certainly, I want to go to the world of "Danek" and do TUEEE on a daily basis! I want to be popular! I want to chew with that heroine! I was delusional. ...... Is it embarrassing to be a good old man? A man is full of adventure no matter how old he is.

――So let's sort it out a little.

　Q1, is this a reality? Or is it a game?

　In "Dungeon", the principal's speeches and announcements were displayed in the conversation window like an adventure game. But now I can't find such a window anywhere. In addition, the graphic resolution is so different that you can't think of it as a game no matter where you look. The amount of detail  is high that it's obvious.

　Danek also has beautiful graphics, but if you look closely, you can easily tell that it is CG. But my current view-ignoring fantasy elements such as huge weapons and armor-has a reality that can only be seen in reality even if you squint. There was no sound of rubbing clothes of students sitting nearby or the faint sound of squeaking chairs in the game.

　Therefore, it is more natural to think of this as a world where games have become a reality, not a VR game. Originally, Danek is a game with an overwhelming amount of information that was created with the real world virtualization, the so-called "Metaverse" in mind, but honestly, if this creation is a game, it is overkill. However, I would like more information.

　Q2, can I log out ,if this is in-game?

　I was able to select the logout item from the interface that was always displayed during the game, but at this point I can't see anything like that in my field of view. Before that, I could get away from the game by removing the head-mounted display directly from my head without logging out ... but now I don't have that in my head.

　By the way, apart from the conversation window, I feel that the interface became visible after the terminals were distributed at school. Should the decision to log out be put on hold until then?

　Q3, what happened to me as a former person?

　I'm not sure. It is possible that only consciousness is here and the body is in the original world. If the "transfer" mentioned in the description of the update program is true, is there no body of mine in the original world? The only way to check the  is by actually logging  out.

　Q4, do I really want to go home?

(TL:I won't go home tbh)

　There is a reason to go back to the original world.

　It's been a few years since I joined the company, but if I'm gone, the projects I've been working on will stop, and many people will be inconvenienced because of me. Besides, even though I live alone, I have to pay rent and utilities. It may be a bad idea to leave it all alone.

　However. If I didn't have my body over there and this was a complete transfer ...

　Then let's enjoy this world. When there is nothing you can do, there is nothing you can do about it. Fortunately or unfortunately, I don't have a family, and no one will  sad when I'm gone. If I can go home,  I will think about it at that time.

　Various thoughts and questions arise, but I do not know anything for sure. Surrounded by secret excitement and confusion, I am urged to ask questions to the students around me. But now I should be calm. Calm down, me.

　On the stage of the entrance ceremony, several faculty members have finished giving a long greeting, "Do your best," is what I understood from them in a summary, and it seems that the entrance ceremony is finally over.

"--With that done, the entrance ceremony for Adventurer High School will be completed. After this, we will have a home room in each class. Please leave class A."

　A class.

　In the story of "Danek," there were many talented people, such as those who would later become the student council president, famous adventurers, and children of famous trading companies. Even in the B class and C class,  you can get a glimpse of the main characters' rivals and key characters at this event.

　Looking at the faces of the students while remembering the characters in the main story.

"Then, finally, everyone in the E class, please."

　 The surroundings rise all at once and start moving toward the exit. It seems that the class I am enrolled in from now on is the E class. Even in the game, when playing as the "hero" or creating a custom character, it will start from the E class. I chose "Random character", but is it treated as a custom character?

　Students who went out of the auditorium walked silently to the classroom, looking around it was a tense atmosphere. The view from the window is spectacular. You can see at a glance that huge training facilities, large tenant shops, and workshops which  each cost a lot of money.

(Students who can study at such a great school will definitely be happy)

　The high school I attended in the original world was an ordinary old school, so the difference in facilities is clear. I remember the setting that this national adventurer's school is operated nationwide for commercial and political reasons such as securing resources, and a huge amount of money is being invested for it from the national treasury.

　I went up the stairs and arrived at the classroom marked "1-E" with a retrospective and mixed feelings about the possibility of living a second high school life.

(Hahhh ... it's funny. Am  going to behave  strangely ... huh)

　It's hard to climb the stairs. By the way, I'm strangely hungry. The limbs are also plump, rather than bulging and tearing. Maybe I'm a fat character?

　I was wondering what kind of character it was, so when I went to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror--

　

　There was a man who looked like a pig!

　

　Even this is a fat body with a fat face. Jumbo-sized school uniform. And this face is ... that of  a villain and sexual harassment character who clings to one of the heroines and does evil things.

　Known as--

"Buta-o* isn't it ! !! !! "

(TL:Piggy or Pig)
