VRRPG【Sword and Sorcery】.
　This is a popular experiential RPG since the release of the latest gaming device [Dream Works].
　The game itself has now been upgraded for the seventh time, and the number of enthusiastic users continues to grow.
　The sense of realism created by the synchronization of synapses in the brain and the senses of electronic devices overwhelms other gaming devices, and the addition of the five senses to the digital but realistic world has led to a number of people becoming even more addicted to this world, and although the selling price is a bit high, it has captured the hearts of thrill-seekers.

　One such player is Satoshi Osako, who goes by the player name of "Xellos Merlin" and enjoys this world.

　His avatar was an unattractive figure with stubble and eyes obscured by bangs.
　The equipment he wore was of the highest quality, but it was designed to be unobtrusive and plain.
　Many players would not consider him to be one of the top five mages in the world, as he was a gray, dirty, robed mage of medium height.
　But he was one of the best annihilators in the world.

　The game is basically about combat damage based on skill and personal level.
　The most notable feature of the game is the ability to create magic as well as create equipment and items.
　In this digital world, magic is created by layering 56 basic letters and 10 numeric symbols to create a variety of magical effects.

The more elaborate and complex the magic is, the more it increases in power and the lower the rate of magic consumption (though for some reason it also lowers the amount of magic consumption).
　The more elaborate and complex a spell is, the more powerful it becomes and the lower its magic consumption rate becomes. This caused a lot of confusion when the game was first released, and it was famously called a "shit game" for a while.
　In the setting, it turned out that the avatar's magic was primed and the magic in the field was used, and the magic was considered complete if it was a magic formula that could be used efficiently to meet the requirements.

　In any case, the magic power in the field did not show up as a numerical value, so we had to figure out how much magic power we needed to use as a priming force.
　All the fuss at the time of release was just a coincidence caused by people modifying the magic without any hint.
　It was up to the player to find out what was going on in the fields and dungeons, and to challenge it or ignore it.
　The game had a great deal of freedom, but only the most educated players got into it, and most of them used existing magic.
　Creating spells was so time-consuming that it seemed more constructive to just let the players enjoy the adventure.

　The improved spells could have zero recast time, and depending on the individual's skills, could require no chanting time at all.
　Satoshi's hobby has led him to waste no time in creating powerful yet energy-saving spells, and he has become a well-known mage and celebrity in this world.
　Mainly because of his notoriety. .......

　He has a party of five friends of the same level, and has been completing many difficult quests.
　Currently, he and his friends were battling an evil god in story mode.

　I don't know how long they've been fighting for.
　All I can tell you is that they were completely on the verge of defeating the last boss.
　The evil god's evil form, which had undergone a three-stage transformation, was now exposed to the cruelty of the five of them.
　Although they are mages, they are equipped with a variety of weapons in their hands, and they continue to overwhelm the evil god from beginning to end with their vicious and powerful firepower and violence.

　It had been seven years since this game was released, but they had always dominated the top players.
　The main reason for this is the magic they have created, which is classified as the strongest in terms of power and effectiveness, and for Satoshi, who likes to live a carefree life, this world has become the only place where he feels at ease.

　He used to be a renowned program engineer at a top-notch company, but for some reason he was forcibly laid off and now lives a lonely life in the countryside.
　Every day, he tends to his farm and plays video games, in other words, he is a recluse.
　In this fictional world, he is a [wise man], and the fact that he is the envy of everyone is what connects him to this world.
　He is already over 40 years old, but he is single, and he has no family except for his sister, so this world is a world where he can expose himself.
　Incidentally, he is what we call a wizard in the real world.
　He is a wizard in the real world, by the way. He looks like he would be popular if he kept up his appearance, but he was too careless in that area.

"Well, ......, shall we finish this?
I'm not sure.　I'll follow up with you.
I'll follow up with you. You'll thank me, won't you?
"I can't wait to see what kind of rare items you get.
Let's go for the final formation, shall we?　

　An overwhelming wave of magic enveloped the evil gods, reducing their HP to zero in the blink of an eye.

　They are so strong that there are quite a few suspicions of cheating on the internet.
　However, outrageous enthusiasm sometimes easily overturns common sense, and they develop various magic without caring about others.
　The spells were becoming more and more complicated, and other players who were trying to conquer the game were showing both approval and disapproval of this inexplicable system.
　They created spells of the worst possible power, which to the untrained eye seemed quite cunning and overkill.
　What's more, they didn't pass on the magic they created to others, which made the suspicion of cheating even higher.

"It's over.
What do we do now?　What do you want to do now?　I'm going to fall asleep now. ......
I've got work later, so I'll pass. I'll be right down.
"Me too. Sorry, I'll make it up to you another time.
Well, I guess that's it for today. Good night, everyone.
『『『『 good night~』』』』

　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to try.
　But the fact that he was here was the catalyst that started it all.

　The evil god's body suddenly begins to move.
　It was the first time he had ever seen a miasma.

I will never forgive ...... your existence for destroying me!
What?　That's ridiculous. My HP should be zero. ......
Cursed are you, goddesses of the abomination ......, who sealed me away, as well as the fools who turned against me without knowing it!
"The event is not over?　It can't be. ......

　The evil god unleashed the power of the curse, as if to unleash all of his anger.
　The world around him was bathed in light.

　On that day, the entire power supply in Japan alone was shut down.
　In the midst of this, several people were found dead of unknown causes, but the cause of death remained unknown.

　Satoshi Osako passed away peacefully on this day in the Japanese countryside.
