In an unknown non-advanced technological world where any sense of modern semnce was a bliss, being stripped from a proper sophisticated human within a society full of cool gadgets and unlimited ess to any avable knowledge—was usually the highlighted struggle of being transported to another world.
However, in my case, for some reason—
I had ess to the whole freakin'' inte.
"I don''t think that a mere NPC in a video game should have this kind of ess at all…"
Now with the obviousness that something was wrong with my existence in this seemingly digital world, could this power be rted to the redacted ability that I possessed in my biography tab?

"The notifications are also still spamming in the background…"
Well, back to the inte.
Albeitcking any kind of real identity, and an actual email, I was able to fully navigate the sea of information through the very same search engine that I was familiar with before I got murdered by an unknown entity and transported here.
From the grand library of videos to the degenerate and toxic-spawn of social media, my hands weaved the floating holographic keyboards that registered the input from the touch of my fingers.
And with the literal inte connected to the back of my brain, I was also able to ess the real timeline of events.
Today was the 15th of October, 2030.
The day I decided to grab a victim for unmasking, and the day of my possible disappearance from the real world, was 12th of October, 2025.
Five years had actually passed in the real world.
"... I can''t find it."
I searched my name and there was no news about it anywhere on the inte.
There was no news about the finding of a serial killer who rips the face of innocent people every month, nor was there any news about the dead body of a terrifying paranormal creature riddled with stabbing wounds.
"My name wasn''t even on any watchlist or list of deceased…"
I tried making any kind of email, but I failed to do so because the registration process now required an intensive submission of phone numbers and proof of identification documents.
"Why so much requirement?? Isn''t making an email supposed to be as easy as typing your first andst name before??"
Without any method of making an ount on a social tform, I couldn''t connect back to my acquaintances.
Not to mention, my family and siblings, especially my oldest sister, was very keen on not meddling with any sort of social media.
The only concrete clue about them were thephone numbers that I couldn''t interact with unless I also had one.
And there was also a chance that they already got a new one, making my only clue about contacting them back to obsolete.
"It felt as if I had just been erased from that world…"
The depressing realization aside, I also managed to progress in filling the shitty holes that were left by the inconsistent info dumps that I received.
I was able to enterthe official website of the VRMMO that I''m currently in, alongside what kind of game that I''m currently in.

—
Within the official website, there was a link that directed me to make an appointment to attend this Major Mental State Examination.
"Has the gaming regtion changed this drastically over the past years?"
Despite not being an avid gamer myself, I still updated myself about things that were happening in the game industry andmunity.
Still, I''m more leaning to the normie side of the spectrum, so my opinion probably doesn''t count.
"... I see."
—
Fallen Carcosa Online will be released globally on the 20th of December, 2030.
—
The game wasn''t even out, there were zero yers referred as the Storyteller in this world as of now.
Well, now the constant nagging that I''m currently experiencing made sense somehow.
[The Ordeal of the Dusk will be approaching in 10 hours_]
[However, due to the absence of the Storytellers in this world, the Random Events will be regted to spawning a regr amount of Cmity Objects]
[This message will appear invisible to every instances of entities in this world, if you received this sequence of notification, please notify any of the Arbiters to prevent furtherplications in your immersive ying experience]
"Despite being the middle of the daylight, it takes quite a while to reach the dusk, huh."
It might be quite confusingto someone who read the timer as ''10 hours left until dusk'' while it was still in the brightest broad daylight of the moment, which passed far from morning.
Well, that was because the cycle of a day was 48 hours instead of the usual 24 hours.
The length of the daytime and nighttime respectively was 24 hours, meaning that the people of this world slept two deep-sleeps a day to maintain a healthy body.
"If there is no time fluctuation between this world and the real world, then it would be safe to say that this world is designed so that the yer can cycle through the daytime and nighttime experience one day each."
With the night time being predominantly filled with something called Random Events and Cmity Objects, it seemed that the developer wanted their yers to have one whole day to prepare and one whole day to go through the adversity.
"A Horror Survival Colony-Management VRMMO…"
I guess the reason why there is a lot of information for a single NPC like me was to allow the yer to judge on whether I''m suitable enough to join this so-called ''Troupe''.
"So I''m basically a recruitable colonist, huh."
Just as I wanted to wrap up this whole inte surfing and decided to give myself a moment to process this whole information, I sensed an individual trying to sneak into the vicinity of my wooden cabin.
I peeked through the peephole that I grafted to the wall beside the door.
It was a woman with long orange hair and a pair of beastly wolf-like ears on top of her head.
She hadn''t seen me yet.
I wonder if I could open her detail screen just like how I could do it with mine.
"..."
It looked like I could.
