Artificial Fantasy

[Hayate] Entry 2: Friends

November 7, 2050

Man, what a day. While I'm still rattled from the previous events in <Isekai>, I'm a bit surprised that Damon managed to get the game as well. But still, how in the world did he choose a [Elf] race and the name <Razul> in the first place? Then again, the only person who can come up with all of this was Zac. This makes me wonder if this is part of his knight roleplay thing.

But still, just having to play this game together is a bit shocking for me. First, we're studying at the same middle school, then high school, and now this? Man, I know the concept of coincidences, but this is ridiculous! Then again, I was a bit lonely even if Kazuki is with me. To be honest, we have practically been together since summer camp and I have to admit, I enjoyed their company, especially with their constant bickering over some popular culture topics. They were even willing to hang out in my house and join Kazuki on some co-op games together. I guess even they can put a smile on Kaz's face most of the time.

Yet, I've begun to wonder. Zac is very skilled with video games, especially with role-playing games like Kaz, which explains his knight get-up and his knowledge of the game. As for Damon, he's practically the king of airsoft gun games and he has a great accuracy, which he can use that gun-like weapon. Me? I trying to get into a good college and help out my family while I barely managed to use a bow. Now that I thought about it, comparing to them in <Isekai>, I'm a normal guy of the bunch without any rare weapons or fighting skills that would benefit me from real life. Besides, what can a guy who has no clue in video games can do in a VRMMO like <Isekai Online>?

Still, I did join the game just to be with Kazuki and I didn't regret my choices regarding my character's skill choices. I still want to enjoy the game and I still want to keep playing with Kaz. And I hope I can do the same with Zac and Damon in our future meetings in the game.
