As soon as he posted, severalments appeared in rapid session.
?
└nickname’s Cosmic Emperor? is that for real LOLOLOLOL mfer be having some major chunni
└Why would there even be an emperor in the universe? LOLOLOLOL
└newbies need to be cherished…
└yeah, yeah, hey newbie, wee
└Hoho. A Son of Heaven should certainly carry a certain gravitas.
└Mom, when I grow up, I want to be the Cosmic Emperor of the Universe!Mom, when I grow up, I want to be the Cosmic Emperor of the Universe!Mom, when I grow up, I want to be the Cosmic Emperor of the Universe!
└maybe its a bald alien with three eyes and four arms?
└there wasnt a single person who transmigrated into SF right? he’s prob just a little kid
└ive never seen an actual emperor out of all the mfers who use emperor in their nickname LOL
?
He browsed through thements and then slyly left a reply.
└If u can’t even be an emperor, why did u even bother transmigrating? what a waste
└….
?
Thements section, which was quiet for a moment, started to re up once again.
?
“Haha.”
?
Obviously, thements weren’t going to be positive. Maybe this forum didn’t have any ground rules? It seemed there were many here searching for his parents<sup>1</sup>it means they’re basically saying shit like “fuck your mom” “do you even have parents” etc..
?
“Hmm….”
?
His eyebrows twitched slightly. His calm was momentarily disturbed by the no-lifers’ fierce roasting and Yo Mama jokes. It had been a while since he hadst encountered the… intense wee of motherfuckers and sister coomers, so his forgotten Yo Mama endurance had to be newly reminded.
?
After silently observing for a while, he closed themunity window and called for Aria.
?
“Aria.”
<b>-Yes.</b>
“It’s possible to hack this, right?”
<b>-….</b>
His face was mixed with some sort of determination, as well as displeasure. And then, the corners of his mouth became slightly raised.
?
“If you can’t even hack a mental asylum, it would be quite a blow to the dignity of Aria’s name….”
<b>-Stop talking nonsense.</b>
“So there’s something even Aria can’t do? Huh, I can’t help but be quite disappointed…. Nah, there’s no way our Aria can’t even do this much.”
<strong>-….</strong>
?
After teasing Aria a few times, she seemed to have taken a critical hit to her pride, thus refusing to continue the conversation. Perhaps it was a kind of silent protest? However, he knew she had already started analyzing the astral signals.
?
“I believe in you, Aria. You’re the only one I can count on. You got this.”
<strong>-….</strong>
?
Surprisingly enough, she was an AI capable of feeling emotions. As such, leaving her pissed off wasn’t good. ?
“Hm. Amunity, huh….”
?
He thought about the astral signal she mentioned catching earlier. If there were signals and coordinates, perhaps backtracking was possible.
?
And if the signal could be analyzed and the coordinates pinpointed….
?
Direct connection with other dimensions might not be impossible. Right?
?
After all, the beauty and essence of a keyboard battle was its final form. Meeting offline for the ultimate showdown.
?
He logged back into themunity and posted another shitpost.
?
-Title: noob has a question!
(RandomVRGameCapsulePicture.jpg)
u dumbasses dont have something like this at your ce, ay?
by the way, this is the detailed specs of a virtual reality gaming device
-1000x Time Dtion
-While connected, seals user’s original memories
-While connected, solutions to sleep, physiological needs, and food is automated
-Can create a worldview on the scale of a star system
?
Not long after posting,ments started flooding in like crazy.
?
└if ur gonna cap, at least make it believable
└isnt this mfer batshit crazy? so, anyway, where can I buy that? Hyungnim.
└1000x time dtion LMAOOOO isnt it possible to live 10 fucking years in just one day?
└No. It would be a tad less than 3 years.
└no you stupid ass mfer thats not what im talking about hello?
└What is this item used for?
└gramps….
└wow holy shit if i have just one of those, cant i live several times my lifespan in just a single lifetime?
└that would prob help with training too, huh?
└heyhey. boiz. u lose if u get jealous!
└no shot that shit actually exists LOL
└if thats real im jealous af
For the record, the detailed specs mentioned contained no lies. It was an actually usable virtual reality device. Of course, he, too, had enjoyed it a few times, but now he refrained from using it. After all, the aftereffects of returning to reality after ending the game was indescribably shitty.
?
<i>-I am Grandmaster Peng Woohyuk of the Peng n of Hebei! This sack of worn skin is not my body!!</i>
<i>-Honey! My daughter, Yujin!!! Where are you?! No…. This isn’t reality!</i>
?
They were remnants of his cringeworthy past, sealed away in his memory. After using it, he had been unable to regain hisposure. It took him a while to get his shit together. Since then, such high-spec devices had been banned under Imperial Law.
?
He turned his gaze away from the virtual reality device and looked at the semi-transparent Community Window. The post had received over a hundredments. They were glossing over the truth, iming that there was no way such a convenient virtual reality device could possibly exist.
?
“Ahhh. O ignorant ones. O generation of barbarians. O paupers of civilization.”
?
He did not hide the bubbling joy that was surging from deep within.
?
<b><i>‘Ahhh. This is the shit.’</i></b>
?
He was immersed in the state of an ‘otaku’s chunni flex’. In other words, he wanted to brag. Whether it was the punk who was asking how his parents were just because of a single gaming device or the bastard demanding evidence, saying it was not believable. The variety of reactions entertained him. It seemed he wouldn’t be bored for a while.
?
As he browsed through thements and posts to stave off his boredom, he suddenly heard Aria’s voice.
?
“I havepleted the primary analysis of the astral signal.”
“Already?”
?
The Astral Dimension, used as a passageway for Warp, was a mystery even in ‘CGH’ which he transmigrated into. The fact that she had already analyzed a signal that could only be caught inside such an Astral Dimension passageway meant Aria had performed the calctions with her main body.
?
And as if proving his thoughts right, right as he turned his head, there she was; a woman with silver hair, wearing the Empire’s uniform, looked at him with a cold expression. She was one of the Terminal Androids frequently used by Aria.
“Aria, you look beautiful as always.”
“…Please focus on the report.”
?
Look at her being all shy.
?
Heeding Aria’s coy response, he nodded and lended an ear.
?
“Currently, Master is the only terminal that can receive the signal in question in the ‘Dimension-001’ where the Gctic Empire exists.”
?
In essence, that meant he was the only person in the ‘CGH’ world who could ess the [Integrated Dimensional Community]. He had easily guessed as much. After all, no matter how much he searched themunity, there didn’t seem to be any SF Transmigrators. But still, he had hoped. Maybe. Just maybe there was someone else.
“More importantly, this could be evidence that other dimensions actually do exist.”
?
Furthermore, ‘Dimension-001’ referred to the dimension he lived in and ‘Dimension-000’ meant the Astral Dimension. Nothing more was known and only he, who had transmigrated, could vaguely guess the existence of other dimensions or worlds.
“If the academic circles knew of this, it would cause amotion. Even the Demos species of the Great White Tower would rush in like mad.”
“But there isn’t any need to go out of our way to tell them.”
?
<i>Nod Nod-</i>
?
The Demos species of the Great White Tower, who fanatically worshiped solely knowledge, had brains that were 5 times the size of humans, long heads, and tentacles that reached down to their corbones instead of beards. Basically, they were aliens.
?
For reference, the tentacles of the Demos species had a function simr to the USBs used in his previous life.
?
They were a neutral race that had signed a pact with the Gctic Alliance to collect history and knowledge without involving themselves in any disputes whatsoever. And since this information was about the Astral Dimension, something that even the Demos species had no knowledge of, this would be a huge surprise to not just the academic world but the entire universe.
?
“Anyway, let’s move on from all theplicated stuff. So, just tell me what’s possible and what we need.”
?
“I need permission to use the ACC(Akashic Causality Calctor) and the cooperation of Makia, the Minister of the Encryption Information Department, and Calen, the Vice Minister of the Central DBMS (Database Management System) Department.”
?
The ACC was the size of an asteroid 2000 km in diameter, as well as an operation device that could predict with a 96.8% uracy upon full operation, practically making it an out-of-ce artifact (OOPArt) even in this SF worldview. And if the ACC was used, it meant Aria had to directly devote all her capabilities into driving the ACC, so he had to handle all the Emperor’s duties that Aria was doing in his stead by himself.
?
Makia, the Minster of the Encryption Information Department, was second to none when it came to security and hacking, and Calen was likewise.
?
Moreover, Calen, whom he had personally scouted, was the best talent in database construction and programming. Since he had personally ced him there, there was some form of familiarity between them.
“It’s a bit much if you’re gone, though… Do you really have to operate the ACC? Can’t we just let those guys tinker around with it?
“…If left to those two alone, even a hundred years might not be enough.”
“Even a hundred years, huh….”
?
He sighed, knowing Makia and Calen would be horrified if they knew what he was thinking.
?
“Fine. How many days will it take?”
“It is expected to take at least a month.”
“A month? You’re saying I have to survive without you for a month?”
?
He groaned in disgust and dismay. That was how much Aria had been covering for him; the volume of work handled by her was beyond imagination. After all, Aria’s performance wasmonly acknowledged as absolutely unparalleled.
?
“I have nned the schedule of tasks Master needs to take care of down to the very second.”
?
At Aria’s chilling words, he slumped down.
?
“Eughhh.”
?
He eventually nodded and, after throwing in a few more posts into themunity, exited it. It seemed he wouldn’t have time to log in for a while. ?
?

? ?
Meanwhile, opinions about the ‘Cosmic Emperor’ were divided in the Integrated Dimensional Community.
?
-Title: what’s with the newbie? aren’t these godlike levels of cap?
if that kind of thing actually existed, why even bother living his current life? LMAO say something that actually makes sense.
?
└facts he should open up a cap store at this point
└LOL is it because it’s SF? what an imagination lmao
└i dont even believe he’s in a SF lol
└but with just that one thing, wouldn’t it actually multiply training time by 1000?
└frfr it’s not like it’s some hyperbolic time chamber lmao
└but if it’s real, wouldn’t that make regression, transmigration, and reincarnation fkin pointless?
└dude im so down to erase my memories and live a 2nd and 3rd life frfr
└and what about the post that came after?
└ive seen a guy from a modern fantasy bragging about all sorts of supercars, but this is a first LOL.
└cruisers, patrol frigates, battleships… i can’t believe he flexed a collection of spaceships… does that even make sense?
└LMAOOOOOOOOO fucking ridiculous
└i was more shocked by the cure for balding tho.
└Hair loss is not a disease. Why are you even speaking about a cure?
└grow, my hair, grow!
└…
└anyway it’s unrealistic. even faking should have its limits.
?
Themunity was sharply divided between ims of fabrication and those arguing for its possibility. Those insisting it was a fabrication argued that such things were impossible, even if it was SF, while those against them were split between people wishing it wasn’t a lie and people who insisted it was definitely possible.
?
-Title: Day 1 of Praying for the Cosmic Emperor to Login
If that post is 100% true, I must prepare to wee yet another God.
Everyone, shout. Baldmen<sup>2</sup>It’s like Amen, but “Baldmen”. Basically, it’s a way of prayer to cure his baldness LMAO
?
└Baldmen
└Baldmen
└even if it does exist, what’s the point? isn’t it like a pie in the sky?
└such short-sighted thinking. just releasing the blueprints or research materials would have people throwing their entire fortunes at it.
└you’re saying it’s possible for a baldness cure to exist? when even a 1500-year-old lich gave up on it? even with magical engineering that developed the buxomize pill<sup>3</sup>a pill that makes booba bigger and more beautiful, they said baldness was incurable
└I. Said. It. Is. Not. A. Disease.
└Baldmen
└i mean, even if it’s real, do u rly think he’s gonna make it rain with blueprints? even if u wanted to offer ur entire fortunes, how are u supposed to give it? and he said he’s an emperor u know? do u think he’s even gonna care about ur chump change LMAO
└hairy mfer. stop aggroing and fuck off
?
A certain item that was coincidentally exposed in the photo particrly caused a stir throughout themunity.
?
└He Who Cures Baldness isuded as omnipotent, thus He must be called the Messiah.
└Baldmen
└Baldmen
