After Data.1 – Old Bowman, Once Again
I had quit my job at the company a while ago and became a pro gamer.
They made retro games, which was quite unusual these days, and I went from that, to making money by playing the latest game…
Either this was a great change, or not much of a change at all.
Yes, in the end…my life was just a game!
This was the great age of VR!
There were numerous game companies, and they were all making VR games.
In other words, everyone was playing VR games.
And pro gamers had to be at the forefront of them.
Those who could entertain the masses with a unique playing style stayed, and the others faded from memory…
It was survival of the fittest, and there was always someone else who would take your place.
In this great age of VR, being a pro gamer was a common occupation…!
Hmm, that’s an exaggeration…
Well, in any case, I had yet to be forgotten in this world.
The VRMMORPG Next Stage Online had become very popular, and there was a tournament to determine the strongest party.
And our party had been victorious. That was a little over a month ago.
The excitement had settled down, but people still remembered that fight.
And so I was not forgotten.
Not yet…
As for uploading videos, it was going slowly.
Information moves quickly in this world. And I had taken a month to post a video, which was very late. Still, it had good enough ratings, and so I was satisfied.
NSO recorded your adventures automatically, and you could download whatever scenes you liked.
Not only that, but there were first person and third person camera angles, as well as long distance and bird’s eye angles.
But such a great service was…not free.
Apparently, the monthly subscription was not enough to cover the costs of saving so much data.
So, why was I able to use this feature?
The answer was that I had chosen this course from the beginning.
I didn’t really read the details, but just saw the words ‘safely save data!’ and ‘helping your gamer journey!’ and so I chose the Premium Perfect Pro course and started playing.
Of course, it actually said, ‘safely save recorded data!’ and ‘helping your pro gamer journey, such as posting videos!’
In fact, it was useless if you weren’t going to be a pro gamer.
Paying more here was not going to make it easier to level up or find rare equipment.
And so if you weren’t going to post videos, you would just be wasting your money.
Thankfully, due to the way that things turned out, I was grateful to my past self for making this mistake. But I would have to be careful in the future.
Now that I think of it, there had been another event in the past that made me feel like I had to be better at reading instructions…
But it looks like I still have a ways to go!
Now, I had the powerful weapon that was recordings of past adventurers. And so there was no lack of content for me in terms of videos.
As there were too many silences, I would add subtitles and edit it down a little. And then I would have a decent enough video.
Seeing my old self was both embarrassing and nostalgic.
Thanks to that, the work of editing became quite fun for me.
However, I could not just rely on old adventures.
Viewers would want to see what happened to Kyuji after winning the tournament.
The past was the past, and my playing was both amateurish and not very flashy.
What we needed was ‘now’…!
That being said, as for whether or not I could move like I did during the tournament…the answer was no.
At first, I thought that I was rusty, as I had spent so much time with video editing, that I hardly had any time to play anymore.
But I was wrong. It was the opposite.
It was that I was stronger back then.
In other words, through facing superior players like Macoco and Nord, I had been able to draw out a power that exceeded my own limits!
I had once heard of a phenomenon that through running with someone who is faster than you, you can run faster.
That phenomenon had occurred to me.
In order to get back to that place, I would have to encounter a strong enemy again.
However, the boss monsters on the field and dungeons were easily defeated.
I don’t know…they were not exciting.
And so I had to rely on old footage.
And I could not find a way out of this rut.
When it came to strong enemies, there were dragons, but it took a lot of luck to find them.
In fact, I hadn’t encountered any rare monsters recently.
Either I was unlucky, or I had been too lucky in the past…
Tsk! If I can’t find a strong enemy, I had to use some other way to find something interesting!
As a pro, I couldn’t just pray that something like that would come my way!
…Every time, I started with this positive attitude, but haven’t moved on from there.
To be honest, as a player, and unrelated to videos, I just wanted a solid goal.
Yes, an adventure that would make the heart burn with excitement…
Gogogogoogogogogg…!!
“Oh? The volcano again…”
A volcanic mountain erupted to the north.
So I had drifted far away from the first town again.
What I meant by this, was that recently, I had taken to riding on clouds while thinking.
Even now, I was lying down on a cloud and staring up at the sky.
And before I knew it, I would drift off somewhere.
Right now, I was to the north.
There were harsh mountain ranges, and there were volcanic mountains that were active here.
Hot air would blow when they erupted, so I would probably be pushed back to the south if I stayed still.
So I could return to the first town without doing anything…
“Still, it really is hot. This wind… I feel like I’m going to burn up… Hmm…? Burn…?”
If my heart won’t burn, then maybe I should go to a place that is burning…?
At the very least, I should be able to experience a heated adventure!
Though, my heart might not be the only thing that burns…
“Windcloud Blast! Push the wind against the current!”
The cloud I was currently on was a natural cloud, not one made with Floating Windcloud Herd.
And so it did not disappear in five minutes, but the wind could easily cause it to change shape.
But now, it was best to go on a cloud I was used to riding.
“Windcloud Herd! Now, let’s go to the volcano!”
“Gar! Gar!”
And so on a whim, Garbow and I went towards the mountain.
It was the beginning of a new adventure…!
