A few days after that.
Finally, the day when 「Dystopia 9999」, which all humans and species of all dimensions had been eagerly anticipating so much, was released.
And as the game was released, all kinds of posts started pouring into the Dimensional Gallery as if it was natural.
However.
FORUM POST

User: ↳ Kya lolololol
People existing in all dimensions had already desperately felt how much power Earth-made games have through 「My Creation」.
As if that wasn't enough, weren't they in a state of shedding sincere snot inside their bodies while watching 「Outlaw」 a few days ago.
However, unlike movies and anime that one can watch comfortably with two eyes wide open, the genre called ‘Game’ requires the player to control it directly.
Although 「My Creation」 was a considerable hit, the game genre itself is still not that active multi-dimensionally.
Therefore, the path the majority of people chose was exactly-
“Hello, everyone! This is streamer Lisa!”
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Li-Hi~ (Means Lisa Hi haha)
Viewer: Lisa came lolol
Viewer: No fuck even turning on the broadcast tick-tock on time isn't enough what's with being late lolol
Viewer: ↳ This person fainted eating Nuclear Fire Chicken in the past and they say she just woke up from a coma now...
Viewer: ↳ Gasp
Viewer: ↳ Lolololol
Viewer: ↳ Nuclear Fire Chicken is acknowledged lolololol
“That... I'm sorry! But it couldn't be helped! As you guys know, today is the release day of 「Dystopia 9999」 right? I accessed the site to download the game but the lag was too severe today so I ended up being late.”
CHAT LOG
Viewer: So what
Viewer: Streamers of other dimensions already finished downloading and are playing but why are you making a fuss alone???
Viewer: ↳ Instead Lisa is cute have a drink
Viewer: ↳ Is that bit of diligence a big deal??? Lisa, a Cat-folk, has ears and a tail that streamers from other dimensions don't have don't ignore Lisa ever again
Viewer: ↳ If you are a member belonging to the Dimensional Furry Alliance please let's support Lisa!!!
Viewer: ↳ Lolololol
“Ugh... I'm sorry.... In that sense, today's broadcast quickly! I will try playing 「Dystopia 9999」! Actually, I am a hardcore fan who watched 「Outlaw」 tremendously enjoyably you know? So my heart is pounding tremendously right now! Just what kind of amazing masterpiece Earthlings released!”
Saying so, Lisa was currently wearing ‘David's Coat’, the symbol of an SSS-rank pushover... no, an ardent fan of 「Outlaw」, who pre-ordered the first edition of 「Dystopia 9999」.
It was so.
After tasting the Nuclear Fire Chicken Ramen and watching the anime called 「Outlaw」.
Lisa, a Cat-folk streamer who was doing quite well until then, had also already fallen into becoming a mental slave of evil Earthlings.
Thus, she ran the game called 「Dystopia 9999」 with a considerably pounding heart and—
“...Waaaa.”
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Heo...
Viewer: Crazy... Is this really a true story...?
The next moment, she unintentionally made an expression as if losing her soul.
Because the game called 「Dystopia 9999」 felt like it wasn't a game.
Overwhelming and realistic graphics making one think if I really crossed dimensions.
Beyond simply the level of a character in a game, a customizing system at a level making one think of another self.
Depending on one's choice, becoming a fixer like David of 「Outlaw」, or even becoming a Netrunner like Lucy is freely possible, up to such a free build!
For otherworlders who had only played games reeking of shit except for 「My Creation」, it was a game that couldn't help but make their mouths water too much!
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Kya lololol As expected of Earthlings I believed in you!!! Lololol
Viewer: Surely there's no heretic bastard here who harbored distrust that Cup Noodle-Zwa might arrogantly upload a weird game right????? Lololol
Viewer: But Lisa stop wagging your tail left and right since earlier I'm going crazy distracted
System Notification
[‘SuspiciouslyWealthy’ has donated 10,000 Mana!]
[‘SuspiciouslyWealthy’ has donated 10,000 Mana!]
[Lisa wags her tail left and right = She can't calm her excitement because the game she's playing right now is a super god game]
CHAT LOG
Viewer: What is the identity of the bastard who donated lololol
Viewer: Lisa's tail was a god game detector lololol
Viewer: Thanks to Earthlings seeing Lisa wagging her tail for the first time in a while thank you Earthlings!!!!
Like that, viewers were anticipating Lisa's character gradually growing into a legend of this city just like the protagonist of 「Outlaw」, David, did.
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Eh???
Viewer: Lisa what are you doing since earlier
Viewer: Aren't you going to carry out requests or progress the main story like other streamers???
Strangely, Lisa was just roaming around the city here and there, not properly playing the game.
Just when viewers couldn't hide their questions about what on earth she was doing right now.
“...Found it.”
Lisa, who had been roaming the city for a long time, made a bright smile as if she finally found what she was aiming for and—
CHAT LOG
Viewer: ...Huh???
Viewer: Surely...
Viewer: Here is there... That place where the last battle happened in 「Outlaw」!!!
It was so.
The reason she busily roamed only the city without playing the game as she was supposed to was exactly to find the remaining traces of the characters in 「Outlaw」!
“Jin-nim said so on his broadcast right. This game is set 1 year after 「Outlaw」. Then wouldn't there still be traces of them remaining somewhere in this city?”
As seen in 「Outlaw」, Earthlings were psychopaths who liked to lay detailed foreshadowing to a paranoid degree.
At the same time, they were even perverts who liked making people's eyes hot with just one story.
There was no way such people wouldn't place traces of 「Outlaw」 inside the game called 「Dystopia 9999」!
Roaming every corner of the city and recalling memories with David and comrades like that, she finally arrived at a certain place.
Columbarium.
A place where the remains of the dead are enshrined, and one prays for their souls.
Surprisingly, here, the names of the protagonist David and his comrades who lost their lives in 「Outlaw」 were engraved.
And-
In that place already, a certain ‘trace’ was remaining as if someone had visited.
[You were, my only family.]
[In this city, you taught me not to trust anyone.]
[Thank you, really.]
[That I couldn't hear all of your story back then... I regret it. Really.]
Phrases as if honoring, mourning, and memorializing someone.
Who on earth engraved these phrases, there was no need to even say.
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Lucy...
Viewer: Losing all comrades... she came here alone...?
Viewer: Ah...
Like that, viewers felt a somewhat choking feeling seeing the traces Lucy left.
[I'm sorry I couldn't go to the moon with you. But... I saw you there. I am still with you even now.]
Eventually, seeing the last phrase engraved in the columbarium, they exploded completely.
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Kuaaaaaaack!!!!
Viewer: Earthlings fuck this is really too much!!!!! *sob*
Viewer: How did I forget this how did I forget this how did I forget this how did I forget this
Viewer: Fuck Earthling fucking dog bastards!!!!
Viewer: This is why I can't look at the moon after watching anime *sob*
Naturally, that was also the same for Lisa, who was wearing David's coat and considered herself a hardcore fan of 「Outlaw」.
“K-Kill! I will kill! Adam Smasher!! David and Rebecca's enemy!!! Die! Die! Dieee!”
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Lolololol
Viewer: Ah fuck I was sad but because of Lisa's reaction a hollow laugh came out
Viewer: Yeah yeah you make sure to avenge David and Rebecca
Viewer: But Lisa what's that you're holding in your hand??? Don't tell me you're gonna catch Adam with that???
“...?”
Holding in my hand?
What on earth am I holding?
At the viewer's chat, Lisa tilted her head and looked at the in-game screen and—
“Kya, kyaaack!”
Only then did she realize.
The fact that she got too excited discovering the traces of 「Outlaw」 at the columbarium, and ended up changing the character's equipment while slamming the desk like a shotgun.
The ‘weapon’ the character she is currently controlling is holding is none other than.
“D-D-D...!”
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Kya look at the object looking heinous lololol
Viewer: Lisa broke down lolol
Viewer: It's an object that starts with Dil and ends with Do so why can't you speak???
“A-Armadillo! Why on earth the Armadillo I picked up on the street earlier!”
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Lolololol
Viewer: Armadillo what lololol
Viewer: Lisa it also has a precious name given by its parents what if you change the name carelessly
Viewer: ??? : Big Sis... Why are you... suddenly pretending not to know me...?
Viewer: ↳ Fuck lololol
That was a heinous object that should absolutely never appear on Lisa's channel, which normally aims for a ‘broadcast that the whole family can watch’.
‘Lisa you crazy bitch! How can you make such a mistake!’
No matter how overwhelmed with emotion she was discovering the traces left by Lucy of 「Outlaw」, to make such a mistake!
Just when she hastily pressed a button to change the equipment she was wearing like that.
CHAT LOG
Viewer: Lisa since you have the Armadillo in your hand how about catching Adam with that
Viewer: ↳ Is this bastard a genius??? Lololol
Viewer: ↳ 100% probability of winning Cup Noodle-Zwa event lolol
‘...Eh?’
For a moment, seeing that chat, her finger stopped.
Right, come to think of it Jin-nim held such an event.
Following the opinion of that chat, considering the heinousness of the armadillo Lisa held in her hand, the winning prize of this event would be practically hers.
However, if there is one problem, it's whether Lisa's mind can endure it throughout playing the game....
Pride and dignity as a Cat-folk.
VS
Earth-made winning prize Cup Noodle-Zwa plans to gift.
Hmm.
Dignity of a Cat-folk huh....
Ummm.
But as I think about it carefully.
Something like that... isn't it something not particularly necessary in living life...?
