First Fantasy Killed [Video]

[fukouda]

[Someone was not pleased and it definitely shows. The video feed was now showcasing an absolutely livid spiky-haired Asian. He was tightly gripping some sort of paper, but it was impossible to tell what exactly was on it.]

Can someone please explain to me what the hell is this?

[He suddenly shoves that paper right in front of the camera for everyone to see. Everybody here should be able to easily recognize what it was; it's the letter given to all new arrivals to inform them of their planet's demise.

After a couple of seconds, the letter was hastily removed.]

Just what kind of sick joke is this! Am I seriously expected to believe that the Earth is gone! All those millions of people completely wiped away without a trace! This stupid letter doesn't even bother to give a reason for why it's gone and just expects me to accept that it happened! Like hell I will!

[He takes a moment to calm down and his livid expression soon softens to a far more somber one.]

I want to know who was the person that "saved" me. I have some very important questions for them.

Re: video;

I'm calm now, but let me make this clear; this entire situation still irritates me. Why does my "savior" expect me to automatically believe my world is gone? The only certainty is the fact I've been dragged off to an unknown place.

[Touma hasn't accepted the possibility that his world and everybody on it was permanently wiped away. He will tightly hold on to the idealistic notion that the complete destruction of his home was a fabrication.]

[blackwyrm]

[He can somehow relate himself to Touma's way of thinking. Still...]

While I agree with your outburst, I can somewhat believe that our worlds are gone. [A small pause.] Or at least, mine is.

[fukouda]

How do you know for certain that it's truly gone?

[blackwyrm]

[...Well, this is going to be weird.]

This is not my real body. This is my Sword Art Online's avatar.

[LOGIC.]

[fukouda]

[Well, that threw him off.]

Eh? What does that even mean? How can someone inhabit the body of a video game character?

[blackwyrm]

Because Sword Art Online was a VRMMORPG. [He pauses a moment, before he continues with the anagram.] Virtual-Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

Uuuh, I hope you understand it.

[fukouda]

Not really. It must be a ridiculously advanced game to allow an avatar to interact with the physical world. Not even the highly technological city I came from has something that amazing. Still, that doesn't explain why that makes the possibility of your world's destruction plausible. In fact, it makes things more confusing. If what I'm looking at is your avatar, where is your real body?

[blackwyrm]

That sums it generally, though. [A pause.] Truth to be told, my real body should lay somewhere else and if I pull my NerveGear away from my head, I should be out of the game.

[And dead, but he won't say it.] Which is basically saying, I've tried that but nothing happened. So I'll conclude that my real body is either non-existent already or... this 'savior' did something unimaginable to prevent me from going back to my real body.
