World Tree Host's Wandering Digital Project

Without bothering to clean up the dirty clothes and the desk, Kayaba just found a piece of paper to wipe the water off the keyboard, and his fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard.

This was the result of all his hard work so far, how could it suddenly disappear? The sudden blue screen of the computer made Kayaba very nervous, and big drops of cold sweat ran down his forehead.

"What's going on... Why is this happening..."

The sounds of typing on the keyboard were almost continuous. Kayaba tried everything he could, but it was of no use to fix this computer. Logically speaking, his company only used computers with the highest configurations, and no applications were downloaded into them. Even the firewalls were managed by personnel from various countries to prevent technology leaks.

Why does the blue screen appear suddenly?!

The sudden change caused Kayaba to fall on his chair.

“There’s no choice but to do it again.”

There was nothing he could do, so Kayaba could only comfort himself.

"I don't know what's wrong with the computer. Let's have someone replace it tomorrow. It's time to take a break and spend some time with Rinko."

Kayaba only then felt his wet clothes and tugged at his collar, thinking about how to explain to his girlfriend while clearing the coffee on the table.

"Um?"

Suddenly a dialog box popped up on the blue screen of the computer that I had given up on.

[Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live?]

Below are [yes] and [no].

Kayaba was really confused. He thought he was being hacked, but it didn't seem like it. Kayaba himself was a computer expert, and he didn't feel anything unusual in his previous attempts.

But since the other party had time to ask him questions, he presumably had access to everything on the computer. It didn't matter if he chatted with him for a while, so that he wouldn't bother him again next time, which would be unbearable.

But this question...is it a coincidence?'

Isn't it true that what you create is for your own ideals and to live truly?

Kayaba wasn't sure if he had given himself away somewhere, and his wry smile gradually became more serious.

He controlled the mouse and clicked [yes]. He wanted to see what the other party's purpose was.

When you click and release the mouse, the dialog box disappears, a large piece of code appears on the screen, and even gradually forms a vortex.

A powerful suction force came from the screen, forming a whirlwind that blew Kayaba's body. The debris on the table was actually sucked in, but the computer and the table did not move at all.

The strange scene stunned Kayaba, who was still resisting the suction, and his body was involuntarily sucked towards the screen.

"Kayaba!"

He heard his girlfriend's shout from behind, and grabbed Kayaba's body as he moved forward with two hands.

"What's going on?!"

"I don't know either!"

Rinko Kamishiro grabbed the table in front of her with one hand and pulled Kayaba backwards with the other hand. The increasingly loud wind made it so that they could only communicate by shouting.

As soon as she came in, she saw Kayaba's computer screen glowing, with a vortex stirring the wind in the room, sucking in everything in the room crazily.

Without having time to think about what was happening, his body had already grabbed onto Kayaba's body as it moved towards the screen.

For some reason, even though there were surveillance cameras in the room, no one came to rescue them.

The suction was getting stronger, even as both men were moving backwards.

A folder suddenly hit Rinko Kamishiro in the face, and then the table she was holding was overturned by the suction.

"what!"

The two were caught in the vortex on the computer by the table.

After sucking the two people in, the computer turned off instantly, the light, wind, and vortex all stopped, and there was a crackling sound in the room.

Then, under the influence of an unknown force, everything returned to its original position as if time had gone back, and those things that were sucked in stayed in their original positions.

There was only a table full of coffee still dripping on the table in Kayaba, and the person sitting here had disappeared.

........

"Uh-huh..."

Kayaba groaned, and his eyes illuminated by the light slowly opened.

What I saw was a clear blue sky, not the kind of sky polluted by industry in modern times. It was clear and broad, exactly like what Kayaba had dreamed of.

The movements of his girlfriend brought Kayaba back to his senses. They were lying on a lawn, and the breeze carried the smell of soil and green grass.

He quickly woke up Kamishiro and the two of them discussed countermeasures.

"Where is this?"

"do not know"

"How did we get in here?"

“I was sucked in by the computer.

“…What did you do before?

Kayaba Akihiko told Kamishiro Rinko everything about the blue screen, the dialog box, and the answer, and then they just stared at each other.

After all, how could two living people be sucked into a computer screen? No one would believe such a thing. I'm afraid they have already confirmed that the two of them are missing.

In this era, light novels about reincarnation into another world are not very popular. At least these two people don’t know, otherwise they would definitely think that they have traveled to another world, although it’s not that different.

Kayaba now understood that the dialog box was definitely not a hacker's prank, but it was too late to say anything now. If it was just him, it would be fine, but now his girlfriend also came with him.

"Welcome, Kayaba Akihiko"

Just as they were about to walk around to see if there were any clues, a blue crystal ball suddenly appeared in front of the two silent people.

Protecting his girlfriend behind him, Kayaba pushed up his glasses and looked at this thing carefully.

A perfect translucent sphere, glowing faintly blue, and nothing else.

"No need to be so nervous, I am the god of this world."

The crystal ball spun twice, and Kayaba and the other man became even more nervous.

"Forget it, just watch for yourself."

The host knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he shot out two beams of light from the crystal ball, hitting Kayaba and Kamishiro.

The two of them only felt a flash of blue light, their heads felt dizzy, and their eyes suddenly went black.

Looking at the two people lying peacefully on the ground, the console didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. The Digital World had already moved to the surroundings, or it was originally not far from the Pokémon World.

'We can only take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work out, it's not a bad idea to use it as a base.

When the two woke up, Kayaba had understood everything, and the basic information of Digimon was forced into his brain.

"Is this the Digital World?"

The crystal ball flashed and moved the two of them to a higher place.

In front of Kayaba and Jindai is an endless grassland.

Groups of Ceratopsians were wandering around. Tyrannosaurus rushed out of the forest and sprayed a fireball to hit a Ceratopsian, then used its big horns to pierce the Ceratosaurus's abdomen and lifted it up, completing the hunt.

"Hello, how do I get to the safe zone ahead?"

Someone seemed to be talking to them from behind. When they turned around, a human-shaped hedgehog asked them for advice. The yellow and red spikes on its body flashed coldly.

“Um…we don’t know either.

Kayaba managed to keep calm and looked at the crystal ball, but found that the hedgehog in front of him didn't seem to see the crystal ball so close to him, so he had to answer the hedgehog truthfully.

"Is that so? Then do you want to go together? You guys don't seem to be very good at fighting."

The hedgehog greeted them enthusiastically, looked at their bodies, and wanted to go with them.

"No, no need.

“Then be safe.

Kayaba Akihiko, who could speak fluently in front of leaders and professors from various countries, now hesitates, like a freshman who has just entered school.

The hedgehog waved his hand and disappeared into the jungle with a leap.

"That's a needle-haired beast. It seems to have lost its way."

The crystal ball speaks.

Kayaba Akihiko was still immersed in the experience of talking to a hedgehog.

"Excuse me...what do you want to talk to us about?"

Rinko Kamishiro noticed that Kamishiro's boyfriend remained silent, so she mustered up the courage to ask him.

"It's a matter of mutual benefit. I think highly of your talents, so I want you to work for me."

"Our talent?"

Rinko Kamishiro didn't know what there was about her and Kayaba that could be favored by the gods.

"Haven't you always longed for a fantasy world? Now the real other world is right before your eyes, with swords, magic, dragons, and you can be reincarnated here to enjoy life in another world."

The crystal ball spoke to Kayaba, who lowered his head. The inorganic voice seemed to have emotions, like the devil's temptation.

Along with its voice, various phantoms of Digimon appeared in front of the two.

"Kayaba, we..."

"I promise."

Kayaba suddenly looked up and squeezed his girlfriend's hand tightly.

Yes, he really longed for the world of his dreams, and the digital world also fits his fantasy. The most important thing is that their lives are in other people's hands now, and the god of this digital world can let them feed the dragon at any time.

Although the host can make it without Kayaba, the host still believes in Kayaba's potential. He can create real intelligent life under the current technological background. He is no worse than the three generations of Astringent Fruit and must be brought under control.

"Don't think too badly of me. I certainly wouldn't let you ruin my world."

Seeing Kayaba's reluctance, the host shifted again and transferred the two to its own temple.

"Aren't you developing a game? It's just a different theme. I can provide you with anything you need. You don't have to commit suicide or pursue authenticity by playing a 'death game' where people die when they are killed. I can make it a real world."

"Suicide? Death game? Kayaba, it must be lying, right?"

Rinko Kamishiro knew about Kayaba's determination to create the game and was willing to support him, but she had never heard that Kayaba wanted to commit suicide, so what kind of "death game" was that?

Turning her hands over and holding Kayaba's, Kamishiro Rinko looked into Kayaba's eyes, hoping to get a negative answer.

But she was disappointed.

"As expected of you, Lord God. You already knew my plan while I was still thinking about it."

Kayaba gave a wry smile and reached out with his other hand to hug the anxious Kamishiro Rinko.

"It's okay, I'll explain it to you when I get back."

Patting his girlfriend on the back, Kayaba faced the crystal ball once again, this time with relief.

“Can you do what you said?

"I'm not the kind of person who would deceive a mortal."

"Then I am willing to serve you."

Kayaba Akihiko bows his head

Seeing her boyfriend like this, Rinko Kamishiro gritted her teeth.

"God, please save Akihiko and realize his dream."

"Don't worry, even if he dies, I can revive him."

After receiving the host's promise, the frightened Rinko Kamishiro was willing to work for the host.

"I'll have someone contact you next."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two found themselves back in the room where they were working. Everything that had been blown around by the hurricane and sucked into the whirlpool was now safely in place.

"Is it a dream?"

Rinko Kamishiro muttered to herself, and suddenly Kayaba Akihiko's phone rang, and the phone number was a string of garbled characters.

Kayaba and Kamishiro looked at the caller ID and had some guesses in their minds.

"Hello, I'm Kayaba Akihiko."
