Episode 2 | Tourist

...When a human eventually departs in another universe, a fresh adventure begins....

She was referred to as a tourist who died in a seperate universe, and the person who referred to her as a tourist was likewise a heartless human.

"Who is this person? Another tourist?" Someone had remark to me.

Is it true that I'm still alive? I'm not sure where I am right now. What is this person's name, and why is she wearing a mask?

"I'm not a tourist; do you have any idea where I am?"

What was the woman thinking about tourist if she didn't respond? I have no idea how I ended up here. Is it true that someone brought me here?

...Do you want to surrender?...

...[ Yes ] [ No ] <...

Is this the correct response? What was the significance of this message suddenly appearing in the middle of the land?

...Dionne, You're secure!...

"Congratulations, you're safe!" exclaims the woman.

She congratulated me and broke the collar; she seemed pleased with herself for breaking it, and it was strange to hear her laughing at me.

Was it actually "It's time for you to go into the lobby, be careful" Where? on the other hand, is the lobby? I'm not sure where I am right now.

...Do you want to pick up the mystery item?...

...[ Yes ] < [ No ]...

...You've got yourself a flashlight!...

Is that a flashlight? I'm grateful that I have this now. I can finally see where I'm heading.

Traps? No way, you're joking. "Isn't this merely a dream?" I felt I was going to death at this area until someone grasp my waist to flee the room.

I have no idea who that person is, but why did they rescue me from these traps? I'm on a mission to discover the truth.

"Do you think you're okay?" Someone approached and asked me a question. I was hesitant to answer the question, but I knew i needed to do it quickly before another message appeared.

"How about you?" "I'm okay."

While gazing at the object, I said. The visitor then left, but a message was left on the floor. I didn't get that person's name either. However, the note must be.

"I'm okay as well; you won't find me any place. It will only serve to destabilize the system. By the way, it's great to see you there." - Unit Four

Is Unit Four the name I'm looking for? It appears that I must proceed to the next chamber, but first I must pick up the item; it may or may not be useful, but I must do so.

...Do you want to pick up the mystery item?...

...[ Yes ] < [ No ]...

...You've got yourself a blue key!...

Is that a blue key? Do I need another key to get into the next room? By looking at the present message from the system, I can figure out if I need more.

...There are no messages....

So it appears that I won't require any additional keys. However, there are three doors in this room, two of which may lead to death and one of which will go to the lobby.

Which one is it?

...Which door are you going to open?...

...[ Blue Door ]...

...[ Blue Door ]...

...[ Blue Door ] <...

...You're in trouble!...

"Hide in the closet! Unit Zero!" Who was it who stated that? That voice seemed familiar, but it wasn't mine.

But now is not the time to figure out who it was; I need to go to the closet. Isn't it strange that the closet is immediately beside the first door?

The door swings open. It's the incorrect door.

That is to say, Dionne is subjected to punishment, yet she is fortunate in that she is able to flee. Is it time to put an end to punishment?

While Dionne is in the isolation chamber napping. She is safe, but how will she be punished? Is it true that it happened or not?

.....It took place.....

The message appeared, but Dionne did not notice it. The isolation chamber is conveniently located in the lobby. It's a method of determing the origins of the players or units, but only if they reveal their origins.

It appears that Dionne will take long time to wake up, and likewise..

Other players/units appear to recognize Dionne or whatever it was, but will they recognize her solely on the basis of her appearance and voice? Only way to find out what happens next.

A few moments later..

I'm not sure where I am.. could someone please tell me? This has a creepy effect on me.

...You've arrived at the isolation chamber....

Isolation chamber? What exactly am I doing here?

My current name is Unit Zero? I'm wearing a different uniform with a different name. That is my new name, although it has odd ring to it.

"Unit Zero, please accept this letter from Unit Four" I received a phone call. Is it true that Unit Four has sent another letter? Why did they bother to call me again? Unit Four, I'd like to know that person's genuine name.

"I'm not sure how to open this letter.." I believe I needed to open it from the back, as the letter itself is attractive.

"Congratulations on avoiding the wrong door; the punishment couldn't have been too severe, right? I'm also the one who saved you from that mishap." - Unit Four

It seems obvious to me. That individual is the one who will save me. Isn't it true that after resting in the isolation area, messages invariably appeared?

Apart from me and Unit Four, who are the other Units? Because of the current circumstance I'm in, it's wonderful to see other players here. I need answers once I've rested for a while.

It's been 5 minutes and no one has yet to enter this room. They've most likely forgotten about me.

"It's time for you to leave the isolation chamber, Unit Zero"

Again, the system has been active at this hour, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't have a map to help me find the lobby, and the flashlight has gone out. However, there is something in the drawer that I could use.

...Do you want to pick up the mystery item?...

...[ Yes ] < [ No ]...

...You've got yourself a Ravendelle Map...

I've finally gotten my hands on the map, but why does it say Ravendelle? It's possible that sites like this exist, as well as other systems. It's time for me to stop talking gibberish and head to the lobby.

"The map is a little confusing" I commented as I walked down the corridor.

The code in this system is different, yet how come I don't comprehend any of the words? Since I'm unfamiliar with those, it's most likely a coincidence.

"I see you're still alive, did you ever forget about me?" The woman laughs. It's the same woman!

I'm not sure why she's here, but based on her experience and what I saw on the system, I believe she knows where I am.

The woman hadn't arrived yet. But who is the woman who answers the phone with Dionne? Is it better if it's Unit Four or Unit Two? The answers to the questions are yet unknown.

......................
