A/N: I'm using Arc to divide the seasons.

Ps: this probably sucks

Yaggdrasil, the most popular DMMO-RPG ( Dive Massively Muliplayer Online Role Playing Game) in the year 2126. However, 12 years later the game lost its vibrancy and its online servers are about to shut down.

***IRL***

20:45:06

Y/N stretch as she woke up from a short nap.

grrrrl

'Starving' she thought as she adapted back to reality. After playing The World[1] nonstop for so long a little nap barely did anything, but at last one could only bare hunger for so long and no more, especially a foodie like Y/N.

Filling a noodle cup with hot water from a thermos, Y/N then held down the lid and placed a pair of chop sticks on top to hold it in place.

"Itadakimasu[2]" 'clap*'.

21:03:02

Fiddling with her alarm clock, she set it to wake up 2 hours later.

"Sate...[3]," Y/N muttered as she crawled under the covers of her futon.

"Oyasumi~[4]"

***The Great Tomb of Nazarick***

It was fun. It was really fun.

*9th floor-Round table*

"Hey there. It's been a really long time, Momonga-San"

"I didn't think that you'd come, Herohero-San," Momonga commented excitedly.

"It's been about two years, hasn't it?"

"It's been that long?" Herohero-San remarked in slight disbelief.

"This is bad. I've been doing so much overtime lately that my concept of time is messing up."

"Isn't that a pretty bad symptom?" Momonga asked in concern.

"My body? It's completely worn out."

"Whoa"

"I'm sorry . I didn't come here just to complain."

"Please don't worry about it"

" Oh, I have to go soon. I'm way too sleepy" hero hero-San said as he pulled up his console to log out.

"Oh, please rest well"

"I'm really sorry about this. But, I'm really surprised that the Great Tomb of Nazarick is still here-

"Huh"

-you must have been maintaining it as the guild leader, Momonga-San."


Momonga: Well , Nazarick was a base that we created together.

Hero hero: Momonga-San thank you for all your hard work. I hope we meet again somewhere. :)

•hero hero has logged out

Momonga: today is the last day Yaggdrasil's servers will run. Why not stay until the end?

Sigh 😔

No, I'm happy that he even came today.
Hope we meet again somewhere huh?

*short tantrum later*

*Thrown Room*

23:50:08

After adjusting the settings of Albedo the leader of the floor guardians Momonga sat at the thrown as he reminisces about his time at the guild and the fun he had playing the game with the other 42 Supreme beings.

23:59:50

He internally counted down and awaited to be ejected from the game.

"Shutduphhh" Y/N nibbled as she searched for the alarm clock to disable it.

After feeling around for a minute and unsuccessful Y/N reluctantly opened her eyes. Finding the alarm clock she pressed the snooze button, barely glimpsing the time. She laid down back under the covers...only to fly back up.

23:42:04

"Yabai![5]"She quickly got up.

Turning on the lights in her apartment, she quickly headed for her gaming console to set it up, checking that everything's in order, loading Yaggdrasil.

23:55:01

After debating if it's still worth going, Y/N decided that a promise is a promise.

23:58:56

Y/N arrived in her room on the 13th floor.
A certain nostalgia feels her as she looks at the wide expand of space.

'2 years huh' she thought.

As the hype of Yaggdrasil cooled down, for a gamer like Y/N it would no longer pay the bills. Although she's a freelance graphics designer most of her funds came from gaming. Around 2 and a half years ago The Word came out and she found her self slowly giving it more of her time. Her fans simply wanted something else.

Having maxed out her level and collecting most of what Yggdrasil has to offer the pro-gamer she didn't feel as attached. Plus it no longer paid to play.

But what can she say, after playing for so long there's always that little part of her that missed it.

23:59:57

'So long'

'Nani!!!'[6]

Y/N internally screamed realizing she wasn't forcefully logged out by the system.
