Although they looked dazed they were doing exactly what I was and that was looking at a transparent screen that appeared in front of me.
[Welcome Traveler to The Origin City, Altissia. As part of the first outsiders to enter my multiverse I want to take this chance to formally remind you to strictly adhere to the privacy and secrecy rules in the agreed-to documentation to which you willing pledged. Treat this as a real-world in which you just arrived. I wish you the best of luck on your first journey.]
The blue screen disappears and I refocus my attention on the environment. Some Travelers have already set off on the road, looking with excited eyes bouncing around at every little thing in sight. Some are walking towards the center building while others are greeting the Seraphs and asking questions about this Origin City.
However, I was interested in none of these things despite my curious personality. I was here to earn money and so I started to stream directly from the square and began walking towards the towering building roughly 2 miles down the road. I paid no attention to the watchers of the stream as I don't really know how to do this, my only advantage is the novelty experience so let's just act like no one Is watching and see how it goes.
Netizen 1: Yo, a Beta Tester finally started streaming! I'm so interested in this new "multiverse" but sadly, I didn't get accepted which makes me furious. Come out Mr. Oscars or whoever looked over my application, you were courting death by denying lousy!|
{Authors Note: Alright, I couldn't resist. This will be the first and last use of these extremely funny but also "totally" immersive phrases. RIP Rich 2nd generation antagonists. Back to the story!}
Netizen 2: I know right? I've been dying to take a look and I have to say, based on this city alone I am not disappointed. It must have taken Mr. Oscars years of careful planning and construction, I'm so jealous that you get to explore this heaven.|
Netizen 1: Wait, why is this streamer not talking? He must be new to streaming or is trying something new? Not sure, but at least he is heading into the city because everyone else is just gawking around.|
Netizen 3: I like him acting as if he is not streaming, it will allow for better substitution because I for one know the probability of me getting a spot as a "Beta Tester" in the future and I can tell you, it ain't high.|
Netizen 2: Fair point.|
Netizen 1: *Sad sigh* Yeah I suppose you're right|
I walk fast, never resting even though I seem to be getting fatigued quickly, 'I guess Mr. Oscars wasn't kidding about giving us a new life and body although I wish he would not make it so realistic'...
Once I arrived at the towering center building I walk through the archway entrance only to be greeted by a huge lobby full of angels who seem to be performing their everyday tasks. The interior roof is decorated with gorgeous paintings that, I'm sure, are making the netizens watching my stream ecstatic. In golden letters etched throughout the center-facing art piece is the title "Gate of Worlds" and only now did everything click in my mind.
' If Altissia is a "Transit City" then this gate must be the doorway to our destination. Gate of worlds? How many?... Is it as many as the solar systems that make up the four other VRs or larger? Is it even structured in a planet style? '....
So many questions poured into me and I fill more and more like this whole money chasing excursion is going to be worth it! I was going to look at my stream to see if anyone has awarded money to me yet but just then, I heard someone calling me from the distance...
