This place... Sunny weather, a wide place that has no buildings, a wide cement floor, with a white and yellow line scattered, and at my back is a big warehouse.
What unfolds before my eyes is an airport, no, it must be an airforce base. There's no commercial plane. The only thing i see is a dark green fighter jet, a black fighter jet, a silver metallic fighter jet, everywhere i look, there are only fighter jet.
I look at my hands and try to move it, ohhh, it's very realistic, even the wind, and sensations. This is amazing. For now let's try riding a fighter jet.
I approach the jet that was inside the warehouse, when i stand near it, an instructions written on a flaoting blue glass like thing.
Apparently, i need to check the jet first before i ride, i need to check the tires, wings, turbine, and everything to know if there's a damage.
After checking it, i ride on the jet and another instructions appeared. It teaches me how to turn it on, checking the fuels, checking the engines for problems.
Then it teaches me how to use the switches, there are so many switches, but i'm glad that there's an assist function that tells me what switch i should turn on or off.
After a while, i start making it fly. I pulled the lever on my side slowly, the jet is slowly running on the runway and everything was smooth, allright, it's time to take off.
I pulled the lever more and it speed up. This is amazing, now it's time to fly. According to instructions, this lever in between my legs is the steering lever.
Pulling it would make me the plane go up, and pushing it would make the plane go down. Pushing it the side would make the plane go to the side, so it's just like a joystick lever on video games huh.
When i pulled the lever to make the plane fly, the plane suddenly goes up very high.
(D*mn, i pulled it too hard) me
Anyway, i need to push it down immediately. When i pushed it the jet suddenly goes down.
(D*mn, i pushed it too hard again, i won't make in time, get uuuup!!!) Me
*Bouuug*
I pulled it but it's too late, the plane crashed and explode. The next scenery i saw is the same scene i saw when i start the game, so this the starting, and revival point huh.
I tried it again, but it failed again, i tried it, i failed, i tried, i failed, then i didn't notice that everytime i fail, i'm slowly getting better and better.
I soared through the sky, a very vast scenery of an unknown city unfolded before my eyes, it's beautiful, i love this feeling.
It's fun, i feel happy. Finally, after a year of pain and grief, i missed this feeling.
I played this game for hours, days and weeks. And after a month, i played another game, it is a Hunting game, i learned how to hunt birds, boars, deers.
Then after a month, i played fighting game, i learned karate, taekwando, and any different kinds of martial arts. I learned many things, but as expected, i can't do it in real life. My body in real life is weak, i didn't excercise, i don't even move a lot.
After five months of playing the fighting game, i played a military game, i learned how to use gun, and how to assemble and dissasemble it, i learned some trainings.
I played archery. I played driving. I played blacksmithing, i made sword, i learned some techniques.
I played fishing, it's very calming, and when the fishing rod moves, it suddenly makes me excited. Everytime i caught a large fish, i feel so happy.

It has been 2 years since the accident. At first i'm always in pain, always crying, no energy and strength, but after i played full dive VRMMORPG, everything changes. I found happiness.
Today, my place is is full of trash again. I reached my phone and called for a cleaning service. While waiting, i surf the internet.
All i can see in my feed are about the games on the full dive VR. Ohhh, there's an event on the fighter jet pilot game. Huh? A new update for the driving game? There will be police checkpoint. Does that even have a point? That update is maybe just a design to make the game more realistic.
After a while, i hear someone knocking on my door, it must be them. I get up from the sofa and goes to the door. When i opened it, it's them again, the three girls who always clean my room.
(Konichiwa, Kaito-san) sanya
I let them in my house and they began cleaning, they clean the floor, the wall, the furnitures, the appliances, and the window. After a few hours, everything was now clean.
As usual, they still bring different kinds of ingredients, and then they started preparing it so they can begin cooking. Today we will be having omurice.
I remember the times that i am still cooking foods for my sister. I wonder if i can do that again, i wonder if the pain would hunt me again, i wonder. I'm not sure if i will have the strenth to do that again.
We sat on the table, and offer our thanks.
((((Itadakimasu))))
Delicious, Sanya-san's cooking is really delicious, no matter how many times i eat this. I wantes to thank them for today. I tried saying that it was delicious, but i don't know how i should say it.
(I-it's d-delicious) me
Haaa, i said it, but my voice is so small, it looks like they didn't heard me. But they all look to me, tilting their head in confusion. Then Maki-san asks me...
(Etto, Kaito-san, did you say something?) Maki
(I-it's Delicious, the Omurice) me
The three of them smiled brightly, my voice is still small, but they heard it, i'm glad, but it's really embarrassing.
(Thankyou, Kaito-san) Sanya
Sanya-san who cooked it, is very happy on my praise. It's been one and a half year since they started to volunteer as a cleaner of my house, but this is the first time she hears me praise her cooking.
If that was me, i would also be glad. Anyway, i want thank them for today, it will be my first time thanking them so it's really embarrassing. But i need to say it.
(Etto, for cleaning my house today. thanks for your hardwork) me
They all smiled again.
(You're welcome, Kaito-san.) Sanya
(We appreciate you thanks, Kaito-san) Maki
(Yes, we appreciate it, Kaito-san. But we are glad that there's only a little trash today compared to before.) Jin
It's embarrassing, so i stoped talking and just let them talk to each other.
After a while, we finished our meal and then jin-san and maki-san washed the plates. While sanya-san cleanes the table. I wonder if i should help, i feel like i need to, but it's embarrassing to suddenly help after years of ignoring them, so i just sit back on the sofa, decided that i will just help them next time.
I surfed the internet while waiting for them to finish. Huh? A new game? Gaia Fantasy Online. Etto, i'll just read the description first.
[Introducing, the biggest Full dive VRMMORPG evermade. Be a Warrior, an Archer, a Wizard, or even become a Blacksmith who makes weapon for strong adventurer. Travel the world, Fight monster, complete Quest, and many more. Be the Strongest Adventurer. Play now.]
This is... This is it!!! This is what i am waiting for, a fantasy open world game. There are so many games in game list, but they are all a short game, there's no leveling system, no quest, and have only a small maps.
Anyways, let's download it first. But when i think about it, it's so strange. The games' have a very large memory size, but this goggles can store it all. It is also not written in the manual or in settings how much is it's memory capacity. It must be very big.
As i'm pondering about it's memory capacity, sanya-san and the others called out to me.
(Kaito-san, we are done on everything here, do you have anything you need before we head out?) Sanya
(N-no, i'm fine.) Me
(Okay, then, we will be off, see you next time kaito-san) Sanya
Sanya-san and the other two said their goodbyes. It's now 8 in the night, it's dangerous outside, so i want to see them off atleast until they can call for a taxi, but i'm still embarrassed. So I'll just take my time, and do it next time.
Allright. Now let's play the new game, Gaia Fantasy Online, it has finished downloading. It's so fast, so strange. Anyway, turn on my VR gear and chose the game Gaia Fantasy Online. Now, let's play!!!
(Game Start!) Me
The screen turns white, and my consciousness is slowly fading.
When i open my eyes, i am on a circular place like a momument on top of a mountain. And around me, i can see so many weapons made of crytal. There's a big sword, a pair of normal sized sword, A bow, A shield with a normal sized sword, a pair of dagger, a large shield with a combat knife, a pair of magic wand, a magic staff, a spear and many more Is this?
(What is this? Am i supposed to choose one?) Me
Suddenly, a floating blue glass like thing is floating on my front with something written on it.
(Etto, choose the weapom you like. I see) me
I knew it, i should choose a weapon. Actually, choosing a weapon is important. You must consider your experience, your knowledge, your ability, your skills.
In my case, i have a lot of experience on a different kinds of weapons because of my past gaming experience. I'm also not scared on any monster, i can also use any kinds of ranged weapons. hmm... I wonder what should i choose.
Ohh? That is...
(A Katana!) Me
I know, it's normal to see a katana here. But what's unusual is that there are two choices of katana here. Let's try looking at their specs. I double tap the first katana with my pointing finger to open it's details. Etto,
[Swordsman's Katana: A very sharp katana that becomes stronger and sharper every time the user levels up.]
I see. So it depends on the user's attack power. Then how about this one? The only difference of it is thst it has a crystal embedded on it's upper handle part. Let's try looking at the details. I double tap the second kata with my finger, and the details appeared in front of me.
[Magic Swordsman's katana: a very dull katana that cannot slice anything.]
What the h*ll is that? Who would even choose that? Is that a joke? But there's something written below. Etto
[If poured with magical power, it becomes sharper than a normal swordsman's katana. The more magic the user has, the sharper it gets.]
I see. So that's how it is. It depends on the user's magical power, if you use this your mana would gradually decrease, and eventually, when it runs out, you cannot kill any monster anymore until your magic replineshes, which is a bad spec for a weapon.
Well i can just raise my mana instead of attack power everytime i level up, after all it doesn't really need a high attack power. Even if my attack power is high, if the weapon is dull, then it's useless.
The goodside of it is it's special feature written at the very bottom of the description.
[You can stun the enemy without killing them by hitting them with the blunt mode (not pouring any magic)]
Now, That is useful. There are times when other players are looking down at me just because they are big, honestly i want to kill them to teach them a lesson, but it would leave a bad record to my account, so i just stayed silent everytime.
I have decided, i will use this. With this i can stun those bullies without killing them and leave any bad record to my account. Having a good record is important here in games, it can give you luck, like fishing. If your record are bad, then catching large fish is very hard. While if you have a good record, you can easily catch large fishes.
Anyways, i want this. So i tap it once and then long-pressed it. And then the options was shown. I tap the "CHOOSE THIS" button.
The scenery is gradually changing from a very peacefull mointain-top view, to a very clean plaza, that gives off a very fantasy vibe. There are only a few people around, maybe because this game is new.
Anyway, i opened my stats and add status points to my magic. And then i started playing. First, the weakest monster here are slime. I hit the slime with the blunt mode to stun it, after i hit it's head, it stopped moving.
Wait, is it dead already? But it's HP didn't decrease, which means i successfully stun it. I then pour magic into my katana. The edge of my katana shines a metallic color similar to it's blade, and it becomes sharp. So that's how it is.
After it becomes sharp, i sliced the slime that can't move. And it died, and disappeared.
I continue playing it for hours, days, weeks, and months. It's been a year now since i started playing this game. And because i spend all my time playing it, 5 months ago, my character becomes the strongest, the strongest on the entire game, i acquired a very large magical power to the point that i doesn't run out of magical power anymore, no matter how much i use magic.
I also maximized my magic recovery. Learned many skills, acquired strong equipment. And made my own magical katana by maximizing my blacksmithing skills.
Normally, it would take you atleast 11 or 10 months to max out the level and stats, but because i've been playing non stop, i maxed it out quickly.
Anyways, i am hungry, so i'll just cook something to eat.
Yes, that's right, i cook my own food now, i also clean the house everytime, but the house is big, so i ask for sanya-san and the others to help me from time to time. It has been 3 years now since the accident, and i finally moved on, finally fou d happiness, and i finally found a reason to live.
I promise to my family in heaven, i will be happy, and i will live my life to the fullest.
I got up from the sofa and then head to the kitchen... Huh?
My mind is going blank...
I'm losing my strength...
My consciosness is slowly fading, and then i collapsed.
