“Unn… Anh…” The moment Albedo let out sweet moans, Momonga stopped his experiment. After taking into account everything he knew, Momonga came up with two possible explanations for his situation. First, this could be a new DMMORPG. Meaning that with the end of Yggdrasil, a new Yggdrasil II had been launched.
But after this experiment, the chances of this being a newly released game became nonexistent… because a game would prohibit actions rated 18 and above, or even actions rated 15 and above. As soon as there was a violation a severe punishment would be distributed: the names of the offenders would be announced on the official website and the accounts in question would also be deleted.
The reasoning behind these actions was that if the records of these 18 and above actions were made public, it might violate the Social Order Maintenance Act. In general, the fact that this kind of behavior was considered illegal wasn’t very surprising. If this was inside a game world, the company would have implemented some kind of method to prevent players from doing these kind of actions. If a GM or the game company was monitoring the game, they would instantly prevent Momonga’s lewd behavior. But there appeared to be no sign of that happening here.
And according to the basic DMMORPG and computer laws, in absence of having obtained a license, forcing players staying in a game world is classified as abduction under the abduction law. If players were forced to join the demo of a game, this kind of action would have been instantly spotted by prosecutors, especially if it was impossible to leave the game. It wouldn’t be surprising if the game company would be charged of imprisonment.
If such a situation occurred and forced logout failed to work, the players were able to store a whole week’s worth of gameplay recording with a built-in program, which was mandatory by law. With that you were able to easily report the company’s violations. If Momonga went missing for a week, someone in his company would notice that something was amiss and send someone to his house to look for him. As long as the police investigated the dedicated interface, they should be able to solve this problem.
Just which company will risk getting arrested by committing such a crime? Of course, it was possible to say that this was a first experience to the game, or to say they updated the game. But to a game company, taking this kind of risk would not be advantageous to them at all. Thinking about it this way, then the only possibility for this situation was that this is an act of mischief, with no relation to the game company. If this was so, this line of thought had to change, otherwise it would be impossible to find an answer.
The problem was his confusion about how to approach this problem. There was also another possibility… That the virtual world became reality. Impossible. Momonga immediately rejected this idea. How could such an outrageous thing happen… But on the other hand, the more time passed the more it appeared to be the only explanation of what happened. Also, Momonga thought about the sweet fragrance coming from Albedo.
According to Digital Law, two of the five senses, taste and touch, had to be completely excluded. Although there was a food and drink system in the game, it was generally only there as a consumption system. The restriction on the sense of touch was intended to prevent players from believing this was reality.
Because of these limitations, the usage of virtual reality in the sex industry was not very popular. But now all of these restrictions were gone. This had a dramatic impact on Momonga, causing questions like “What about my work tomorrow?” or “What will happen from now on?” All of these were now minor concerns, to be thrown to the back of his mind.
“…If the virtual world became the real world… Considering the amount of data, this is completely impossible…” Momonga cleared his throat that shouldn’t be able to utter a sound. Although his mind could not accept the situation, in his heart he already understood. And his hand finally let go of Albedo’s chest.
After fondling them for a prolonged time, Momonga was finally able to understand the situation. The reason he touched her for so long wasn’t because he thought that they were extremely soft and didn’t want to let go… Definitely not. “I’m sorry, Albedo.”
“Woo ah…” Albedo was breathing heavily with a bright red face, with an intensity as it her body was radiating steam. She shyly asked Momonga: “Will I have my first time here?” After Albedo got carried away and asked a question like this, Momonga was unable to suppress a surprised shout: “…Wha…?”
Momonga’s mind suddenly blanked out, rendering him unable to decipher the meaning of her sentence. First time? What? What’s this about? And why is she looking so shy? “May I ask what I should do about my clothes?”
“…Ha?”
“Should I undress myself? Or would I trouble Momonga-sama? Wearing clothes, later on… They might get dirty… No, if Momonga-sama wants me to wear these clothes, then I have no objections.”
His brain finally understood Albedo’s words. No, right now it was still questionable if Momonga still had a brain under his skull or not. Becoming aware of what exactly Albedo’s intentions were, his heart was wavering: “That’s enough, Albedo.”
“Huh? Yes, my Lord.”
“Now do not… No, now is not the time to do such things.”
“I am terribly sorry! We are obviously facing an emergency situation and I was only thinking about my own desires.” Albedo started to kneel in apology, but Momonga reached out to stop her.
“No, all of this is my fault, I’ll forgive you, Albedo. Other than this… I have another request for you.”
“No matter what happens, I will obey.”
“Notify the Floor Guardians, I want them to meet me in the sixth floor’s arena. The time will be one hour from now. I will inform Aura and Mare myself, so you don’t need to contact those two.”
“Yes my lord. I repeat, other than the two Guardians on the sixth floor, inform the rest of the Guardians that they will have to gather in the arena in one hour.”
“Correct, now go.”
“Yes.”
Albedo quickly left the throne room. Watching Albedo's receding back, Momonga heaved a sigh after she left the Throne Room. “…What have I done… Even though it was meant to be a joke… Had I known this earlier I would’ve never done such a thing. I… have tarnished Tabula Smaragdina’s NPC creation.” There could be only one reason for Albedo’s reaction. Back when he rewrote Albedo’s settings, he changed it to ‘Be in love with Momonga’. This was the reason why Albedo had that kind of reaction.
“…Ah… Damn it…!” Momonga muttered to himself, the legacy that was Albedo, which Tabula Smaragdina had painstakingly created from nothing, was modified without permission and thus ended up with this kind of character. Momonga felt he had spoiled somebody else’s masterpiece and became depressed. But Momonga’s face was just a skull, making it impossible to see his distorted face as he left the throne. He told himself to set this problem aside for the time being. He had other problems to deal with right now and that took priority.
Chapter 2
Floor Guardians
Part 1
"Heed my call, 「Lemegeton's Demon」."
A golem made of rare minerals moved to obey Momonga’s command.
Momonga had finally accepted that the Virtual Reality turned into the real world. Now the most important thing for him was to protect himself.
Although the NPCs he encountered so far were respectful towards him, it didn’t necessarily mean that his other encounters would be the same. Better safe than sorry.
