Capítulo 3

Upon passing the darkness around her, UMR sees that it shocked her fully, that even let her forget that the thing she is experiencing right now is a game and not a movie.

A Kaiju beast had appeared in front of her vision, and a Giant Mech battled each other. At the same time, in the viewer's perspective…

[Holy shit!!! Those things are huge!!!]

[That's what she said~]

[Fuck you!!!]

[Sorry, but I don't swing that way.]

[...]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You just get rejected ma men!! Condolence lol.]

The viewer's have their own shenanigans, while UMR is unaware of it.

At the same time, a voice of a narrator came with the perspective shifting slowly to unfold the mystery hidden.

[When I was young, where I felt small and lonely every time.]

[I always look at the starry night sky and wonder if there really are aliens in outer space.]

[But thinking about it right now, I seem to be looking in a different direction….]

[Crackle*]

An electronic light flickering around a fault in a deep water area in the Mariana trench. As the electricity around the vicinity started to flicker violently, a crack slowly formed until a massive hole formed between it.

[The real alien creatures came from the very bottom of the Pacific Ocean.]

[The gap between the two tectonic plates has expanded until it becomes a gate, a sort of dimensional portal gateway for the aliens, now known as the Gap.]

[In late 2013, the First Kaiju beast was registered on the Golden Long Bridge!]

Then the light flashed in front of UMR, preceding her to feel the suspense.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

UMR then let out a screeching shout, as she was a towering Kaiju in her perspective.

This Kaiju is so big that the car in the bridge right now looks like a toy car at the hands of the beast.

Seeing this scene, let her feel that she seems to be watching a movie in her VR, because of the quality.

Such a big monster entered her peripheral vision, at her perspective, a shock and horror could be seen at her face as she saw the beast's whole body, making the whole bridge look like a stick of wood in a lumberjack.

Her whole body tense, as she let out a voice of disbelief…

"What is this…?"

A drench of sweat can be seen at her forehead, this scene lets her feel the whole situation below. A fear of death surfaced into her body and mind, the feeling of suffocation and powerlessness in the presence of death shocked her even though this is just a game.

At the same time in the viewer's perspective…

[Once again….HOLY SHEEEEETTTT!!!!]

[Is this just the opening video of the game? This is too real to be just a game you know…]

[This CG is super awesome! I'm sure that this thing is really at the level of Movie!!]

[Yeah!! Also the sound effects are really good, like so good!!]

[This game really starts to interest me~]

The viewers in the live broadcast were also so excited, as the scene in front of them was too good for them, they also feel that the game will be as good as the CG.

As the CG continues…

The monster in front of her just passed through the Golden long Bridge like it's just a weed in the park. Stomping like there's nothing in their way.

The Bridge of New York, did not even slow the pace of the Kaiju. The cars at the bridge fell into the sea like they were ingredients in a hot pot.

At the same time, numerous texts emerge alongside the Kaiju…

■Trespasser■

■Invasion Incident■□■ 08/11/2013■

■Golden□Long□Bridge■

■Height■□■92M■

■Weight■□■2700T■

As UMR notices the text, she's now left surprised….

"9..92M!!!? And 2700T Are you kidding me?!!!"

Looking at the information provided by the AI, UMR finally understood the physicality of the Kaiju in front of her..

As she continued to think, the CG did not even wait for her.

A battalion of fighter jets can be seen rushing towards the towering Kaiju, at a supersonic speed.

As the viewer's saw this, they started to release a sigh of relief not until…

The fighter jets hit the body of the Kaiju, and just exploded, leaving them mouth-gapped.

The moment F.Jets shells hit the Kaiju, it didn't even release a shrek of cry but just continued to walk into the water. The other F.Jets didn't even have a chance to evade and directly explode at the time they made contact with the Kaiju.

A deep sense of suffocation can be felt, the moment they see the inevitable destruction of the human weaponry against the giant beast. Every time they see it, they begin to feel real despair as they can just look at the situation below, and cannot do anything.

[It took 6 days and more just to Completely demolish the giant abomination using human weaponry.]

[Three whole cities in the United States were destroyed alongside it, the masses that were living there…]

[We used three nuclear warheads just to kill the Giant beast, but since then, a large part of the USA right now cannot be used for human habitation, as per because of the immense amount of nuclear radiation…]

[We mourn the dead heroes, setting that day as a commemoration of the Catastrophe that happened….]

As UMR and the viewers felt the brutality, they also started to mourn for the dead people at the CG. Because of the capabilities of the current VR technology, they can feel the situation at the range of 100%.

[However…just right after the Catastrophe, six months later. A second wave of Kaiju beast have appeared in the land of the Philippines. ]

[The beast continues to kill, destroy and devastate the whole country. As the UN finally destroyed the beast, this one is completely different from the previous one. As this one releases a large pool of blue toxins that pollute the entire water system of the Philippines. ]

[Then the Third one came, the Fourth, the fifth one…]

[This time, humanity finally decided to arm ourselves with each other. Forgetting the prejudices, started to exchange resources and now start to defend the lands of mankind.]

[In order to protect ourselves against the usurping Monster, we then decided to start making our own 'Monsters'.]

[The Project 'Jaeger' was then born!]

At this time, a soldier's arm can be seen being wrapped by a wire and at the same time, a huge Mechanical arm beside him moves every time he attempts to move his arm.

[There were also many setbacks at first.]

[An enormous amount of Nerveload is needed to operate a Jaeger Mech, as a single individual only has a limited amount of Nerveload. The two-party piloting system came into a being.]

[The left and right hemisphere, now representing the Brain or Control Center of the Mech, and also the place of the Control pod of the Pilots.]

[After countless time passes, we finally start to win against Kaiju using our Jaeger!]

[We are getting more and more familiar with the paved road we see about!

[But then suddenly….]

When the CG finally reached its Climax, a mechanical sounds can be heard and formed a word

■PACIFIC□RIM■

This now indicates that the game will finally be played, but not before the viewers and UMR calm down first.

>[_]<

The performance of this game, at least this time, is Exceptionally good, but that was just the CG. What about the performance of the gameplay?

The words suddenly vanished, and a siren started to echo in my eardrums, preceding my character to wake up…

But my character didn't even wake up.

A strong budge forces my character to wake up,letting me see a highly detailed character in front of me.

"Raleigh, wake up!!" It came from the male character I see the moment my character woke up.

As I looked around at the room, the room itself was only lit with a flickering red bulb, letting me know that there's a danger outside.

I sat at the bed where my character sleeps, the moment I see its clothes I'm flabbergasted since I thought my character was a female, but nay. My character is a Male.

"Raleigh, stop daydreaming. Just get dressed already!" He said while looking at me strangely, since I started to space out.

"Eh…?" Isn't it a little rude to order a girl dressed up in front of a man…

Ay wait…

Aren't my Character a Man right now.

'What a hunk, I am right now….'

Is what I thought while looking at the chiseled muscles of my Character. I even forgot that this is just a part of the details of a game character.

'There's no time for these Muscles, I need to get dressed already…' I thought while shaking my head to erase the nonsense swirling around my head.

Although it's a bit weird to put the clothes in front of a man, I managed to do it….timidly.

The moment I stop putting my clothes on, I then see the information provided by the AI.

■United States□ Anchorage Shatterdome■

■February 29, 2020□ 7th year of Kaiju-Human War■

I then followed the man in front of me, I then started a conversation between the two of us.

I finally confirmed that my Character and Him are brothers, a twin for specific and His only older for a few seconds, this information was provided by the AI.

Also his name is 'Yancy Becket' while I am 'Raleigh Becket'.

Yancy then informed me with a serious face of his now.

"A Fourth Category Kaiju Beast, has been spotted at the Pacific Ocean, and also the biggest one spotted. They called it the 'Knifehead'."

As I hear this, I am starting to feel tense since this is my first time 'operating a Jaeger.'

"Hey, cheer up kid, we're going for our fifth kill already!!"

'Fifth kill? Then the two of them are veterans, well since I control "Raleigh '' then it's just him…'

"Also the Marshall, has chosen us to eliminate Knifehead using 'Gipsy Danger'."

After he said that, I finally started to feel excited….

'This game can really let players control a Mech…'

>[_]<

The details of this game are really top notch, as we walked in the hallway I started to look around and see something that looked somewhat like a Human in the hallway cleaning, the walls and noise is just like the real world.

It then makes me wonder how many times they encountered obstacles just to accomplish this kind of detail?

My perspective on this game went up for the time being.

Anyways.

The two of us stop walking, since in front of us is a large but not gigantic metal door. It then opened automatically slowly, inside of the room were people wearing white lab coats.

I felt out of place since the two of them were wearing civilian clothes, so I'm then let out a subconscious voice…

"What are we doing here…?"

"Of course, to change clothes, what else do we do here… you know Raleigh, you seem awfully forgetful right now, it's strange, since in these kinds of things you will always take the lead and now you wake up late. Are you—" as he said this, all the people in the room finally looked at me, the guards holding their guns intently started to give me piercing stares at my back.

I then started to feel super nervous since I don't know how to respond when he will ask 'the question'...

A bucket of sweats started to flow in my face.

"—watching that anime again…?"

"I– '...?'

What the hell?! Here I thought I would get caught….

"U-um."I said while nodding my head.

The people beside us finally stopped staring at me and started to do their own task, some of them walked at us while holding some kind of armor, for what I think is our battle suits.

A few minutes later, as they finish putting the armor on us. Two people give us some kind of helmet that looks like a VR helmet.

I then wondered, is this for me to wear?

It's kinda ironic when I already put on a helmet and I will also put a helmet inside the helmet.

The moment I put on this helmet, mechanical sounds started to resound around me, a tube connecting my breastplates and the helmet.

After that, a cold synthetic female voice sounded in the room.

[Commencing: Data Transmission Gel poured into Circuit unit!]

A gelatinous liquid suddenly started to pour on my helmet, the feeling of suffocation let me experience the suppression because of the lack of oxygen supply, but not until the armor suit absorbed the Gelato.

The feeling of suffocation really let me finally accept that this game will be going to change the whole gaming industry world wide.

The frightened look on my face was noticed by my 'brother'...

"It seems, you haven't gotten used to this feeling yet. It's okay, since these liquids were used to capture the initial movements of the pilots the moment they wanted to initiate a movement. "

As I listened to his explanation I then nodded my head to let him know that I understood.

We then walked inside a circular room, as the two of us entered the room. I noticed a two place foot in the middle of the room, I then started to wonder if we're really going to control a mech.

As I continue to think, Yancy is already placing his foot at the foot placement in the middle, even though I'm still confused I followed him since I don't have any idea what is happening right now, aside at this moment we are expected to control a mech.

The moment I placed my foot on it, a mechanical strap started to connect to my limbs. Leaving me really confused.

("Good Morning, Rangers!")

I then heard a voice at the speaker in my upper left.

"Marshall Good Morning to you too!!" Said by Yancy.

Even though I don't know whose voice it was, I still give my greetings.

Afterwards the Marshall voice became serious and gave the two of us order's.

(" Men start the Release!!")

("Rangers prepare yourselves from landing!")

The moment the Marshall gave the orders, I started to feel myself falling at a rapid speed. I then let out a boyish scream but it's more like for those women. Well I am a female…

"GYAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

While I'm still screaming, I don't know that Yancy was looking at me mischievously with a sly smile on his face.

I then started to feel shocked since the game details are really out of this world. I don't feel bored every time I discover something new at this game. I silently hoped that this game or the developer's would continue to surprise in the prior future.

Anyways.

The moment I felt that the place I stand was not letting out a sluggish feeling. My perspective suddenly changed into 3rd Person's Perspective, then moment I saw the towering figure in my vision.

I was left speechless because the place I am in right now is not just any room but the very cockpit….

Of the pilots that control the Mech in front of me.

Not long after this, I then heard a cool BGM. The sound track was really super cool, with the combination of an Orchestra and Mechanical brought the perfect melody for the situation.

The euphoria it brought to me was like an addictive sedative for my addiction habit.

(" Activate the Pilot Protocol.") Ordered by the Marshall.

Then the same cool synthetic female voice at the room earlier resounded again beside me.

[Commencing: Driver□to□Driver Connection shall start in 10 seconds]

[10]

[9]

[8]

[..]

[2]

[1]

[0]

The moment it reached the number 0, memories of the 'Yancy Becket' started to flow in my brain like a surging flood.

At the same time, the turbo engine of the Mecha started to spin rapidly, faster and faster. A magnetic field- energy started to gush out making the scene look magnificent. The lights of the Mecha start to open one by one, presenting its majesty slowly.

A Dark blue color appeared in the vision of UMR in her 3rd person. The mecha has an iron as its skin, it is being moved by two mechanical platforms as it's transport. The platform itself is bigger than 10 military tanks.

The Mecha were now being transported at the coast; three helicopters can be seen flying beside the Mecha.

As I looked at this scene, I thought it looked like a Mosquitoes flying around a Human. Thinking about it, I let out a soft chuckle.

Then the perspective started to zoom out, the Mech whole body is now fully presented in my peripheral vision, and it looks Beautiful…

While it is happening, the AI sends the information of the Mecha in front.

■Gipsy□Danger■□■ Third□Generation□Mecha■

■Date□of□Manufactured■□■07/10/2017■

■Height■□■80M■

■Weight■□■2000T■

■The Gipsy Danger is powered by a Nuclear Reactor that is placed in the Chest of the mecha■

■Each limbs of Gipsy Danger is composed of 40 engines for fast maneuvers■

As I read the information, I felt shocked. Seeing the info about Gipsy Danger left me amazed, the sheer content of this Mecha is akin to the Monster before in the CG.

My excitement started to overflow again because I am feeling itchy just to operate this baby.

>[_]<

Unknown to her, the number of her viewers started to increase, hitting 4 Million viewers. The moment UMR's viewers skyrocketed, it then cause other live streamers viewers started to reduce rapidly.

It alarmed the popular streamer's aside UMR.

One of them was the streamer 'Hamin'. As of right now she's playing the game 'The Comeback', a Moba/ Battle Royale Game.

It is one of the most famous games in the world, and not P2w at that, but the largest drawback of this game is that it has an unreasonably fast skill cooldown and the low graphical interface of the entire game, making the whole game trash.

Even though she's playing this right now, her face says otherwise.

But anyways right now, she noticed that the people who always give her Donations, are now absent in her stream.

She then remembered that it started just a while ago, her viewers started to disappear one by one until it only reached 500 as of right now.

She then thought that If she doesn't make a move, she will not have any dinner later. Which horrified her…

At the Twitch lobby, she then notices a small streamer that has a massive number of viewers right now, 4 Million and it's increasing in a fast momentum.

Looking at the name, she felt a familiarity with the name of the streamer. As she thinks that it is connected to her favorite place, the Arcade area where she always spends her free time after a series of stressful life as a student at school.

Anyways.

As she watched the live stream, she noticed that the live stream she visited got her favorite patrons. Making her monetarily mad a little.

As she continued to watch, she was left flabbergasted because in front of her, at the live stream, she saw a towering figure of a Mecha.

The sheer figure of Gipsy Danger, gives off majestic letting her transcend outside the reality.

Each step it produces causes 5 feet tall gigantic waves, she then thinks that it's like a God finally taking a step in the human world leaving a mark at each step.

Being accompanied with small helicopters and the awesome BGM, makes her cold blood start to boil.

But the most interesting thing about this thing, is that this is not a movie but a VR game that was developed a while ago.

At her amazement, she started to download the game. As she searched about it, the Game size also shocked her as it's the biggest size she saw in her entire life…

As a Gamer.

Aside from the large game size, she's also left shocked again, as this game was just a Beta version and not the whole thing, seeing the great graphics of the game let her think that this one is a Flag bearer of 'Stfunction Games' but it's not.

Just thinking about it, her bewildered expression turned into the face of someone who was now experiencing ecstasy…

But anyways.

At the same time, in an Unknown residential. A person can be seen smiling ear to ear, this one is Hikari. After they finished the game, as the fatigue finally started to take effect on his body, the sleepiness was now in control.

After a few hours sleeping, as he finally feels refreshed, he then heard the system notification multiple times, checking his E.P. balanced left him shocked.

■E.P□10,169■

■E.P□11,228■

And it's continuing to rise.

Even to his shock, he then starts to find the player who gave him this bountiful E.P. As he then sees the name of the streamer 'UMR', he is then watching her.

After a few minutes…

As he looks at the struggle of UMR, a crackling laugh can be heard in his room. The bewilderment of the viewer's and her really brought him a large number of Emotional points.

"Heh, and it's finally starting…"
