Sora Yatagami was a young boy who lost everything. His parents were framed by a mistake they never commit.
After that none of his friends and other family wants to take him in. And thanks to that Sora lose trust in people and the idea of being in a...
In the real world, nearly an hour had passed since the marine research megafloat known as the Ocean Turtle had been attacked by an unidentified armed group. Kotone had elected to go into the simulation and entered a full dive with Soul Translator Unit Five. According to Takeru Higa's reassurances, he would spawn her directly over Zora's present location. She knew that where she fell, her beloved would be waiting.
Aki: Are you ready?
Kotone: Yes. Anytime you're ready, please.
Kotone's mind was racked with almost crazed longing and lovesickness, as well as a sensation like stabbing needles. She winced against the pain.
Higa(intercom): Ms. Kotone. You'll be using the superuser account 04, Lunaria, the Goddess of the Moon, kay? Although this account gives you admin right to run the unlimited illusions alteration command, where you can cast illusions or dream and turned those Illusions into a reality, since there's so much data being transferred between the STL and the Main Visualizer, it can seriously overload your Fluctlight, kay? So please try not to cast Illusions into reality recklessly. If you feel a headache starting while using the command, stop doing it right away, kay?
Kotone: Okay.
Aki: Ms Takemiya. I'm counting on you to take care of Zora.
Kotone: Of course.
(Timeskip)
Philia(mind): Hurry. Hurry down to the surface. To Zora.
When Kotone Takemiya had logged in to the Underworld using Super-Account 04, "Goddess of Moon Lunaria," she'd floated downward in the slow-fall function enabled only on your first login, as the name of her lover echoed repeatedly in her head.

As soon as Philia could see about a thousand humans directly below and a huge number of darklanders approaching from north and south, she immediately began reciting the command for causing illusion art. She stopped the army coming from the north by blasting a beam of light creating a very long ravine into the ground. But to eliminate the thirty or so in the act of approaching Zora's location, she had to remove the ground itself.
They were people with real souls. True bottom-up AIs whom Zora had spent two and a half years in this world fighting to protect. Perhaps it was the fear and hatred from those dying souls that was surging back through her STL and inflicting this pain on her.
She shut her eyes briefly, then yanked them open again, dispelling her moment of hesitation. Her order of priorities had been set in stone years ago. She would commit any sin to protect Zora—Sora Kirigaya. She would accept any punishment.
At last, the few dozen seconds that lasted an eternity came to an end, and the tip of her dark-azure boot touched black earth. She was in the middle of woods featuring oddly twisted shrubs. The sky was red starlight twinkling faintly down.
