Prologue

-Word Name: Parallel Earth, Timeline: Alternate-3, Time: 20/05/2016

An average looking teenager walked amongst the people. His short black hair made a good pair with his childish and naive looking face. Resulting him looked younger than his actual age. The shorter height and smaller size than the other people from the same age and gender is a plus to that. He looked around and swiped off the sweat that is about to reach his eyes.

"Man, I know summer is hot and all. Just imagine how global warming makes it 10 times hotter 10 years later."

"Actually, not really. About 10 percent hotter only."

"Sigh, if only people do act before dying. I remember a famous quote saying people won't drop tears unless they see their own coffins."

The teenager sighed and shook his head then kept walking towards his goal.

"Ack choo! Ah great, a freaking runny nose."

"Are they planning to make an arctic environment for containing workers in zoo? I mean in this building. Sheesh."

The teenager muttered and wore a jacket immediately. He then walked close to the counter.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

A formal greeting from the receptionist was heard. The rigid sentence you will hear every time receptionist first spoke to you.

"Well, I am here to find a person."

"Is he in our company?"

"Yes, I am sure. I even searched Googoole to double confirm it."

"May I ask for his name?"

"I think it is Seamus."

"That name… Wait! Isn't that the name of our boss?"

"Ah yes, I think it is."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Heh, actually, I don't."

"Well, I am sorry but you will have to book for a slot first."

"Nah, I am too lazy for that. He is coming to meet me himself."

"???"

Bathing in the receptionist's confusing gaze, the teenager turned away and stared at the elevator. One second later, the elevator door opened. Some workers walked out. At the back, there is Seamus and his secretary. The teenager walked towards them.

"Hey, going out for lunch? Mind if I join?"

Seamus and his secretary stopped their usual chit chat about lunch and looked at the teenager. The other workers moved their feet quicker like avoiding problems.

"Who are you?"

Seamus asked cautiously. He is ready for any sort of attack coming at him from this teenager.

"Hah, don't look at me that way. Well, but I suppose anyone see a stranger would be like that. You can call me MI."

"Mimi?"

"…"

"Well anyway, I have a business deal for you, only will bring you profit, no shortcomings at all."

"What is your company name? And what is this business deal about?"

"Well, let's talk while we are on the way."

…

"My company is called Totally A Name For Company. I heard that you are developing a new game. But my company had already developed a brand new type of game, and it is ten hold better. It requires a new device to play. Sadly, I just finished making this company today and I got no reputation. That is where your company came in handy. The deal is to promote my company's device. So everyone can use the device to play our games.

"Of course, a deal is a deal, so I won't miss benefits for your company. For each device sold, 80 percent of the income will be yours. And the rest are mine. Sounds good?"

"For a salesman, you are lacking skills."

"Heh, well, I like to spit straight facts."

"Found it…"

Seamus noticed his secretary looked strange.

"What's wrong?"

Then Seamus immediately remembered that strange company name.

"Hey, why is your company name that… unique? And also… Just created yesterday?"

"Hah, well, don't worry about it."

MI shrugged.

"…"

"Can you talk about more about this device? I am quite curious how it works."

"Haha! Of course no problem!"

MI slammed on Seamus shoulder. Their body distance got closer. Then MI took out a bottle filled with small golden balls.

"I call these 'Reincarnation Balls' or 'Reincarnation Pills' or 'Isekai Balls' or 'Isekai Pills'. Well, whatever you want to call it. You just eat this and you will have the ability to play that game. If more games are developed, we will make a different pill representing that game."

That might not in this timeline. MI added in his thought.

"So, you are a drug dealer?"

"Heh, well, ehh, if you think of this that way, then I can't really refute cause it just works like that."

"No side effects?"

"None, no side effects at all. After consuming the ball, you can enter that game whenever and wherever you want. But the thing is, the moment you entered the game. Your body will lose control. In short, you will enter sleep mode no matter what."

"No need to retake the pill once in a while right?"

"Hah! No, of course. Our company isn't black. Once you have taken the pill. Meaning you purchased the game. It is permanent, until you die, of course. And if you have taken the pill more than once, it won't result more accounts, nor getting VIP, it only means you are stupid and donated me money."

"Oh, and also game time and reality is different. So players might not be comfortable when not getting used to it."

"What do you mean by game time and reality is different?"

"Our pills allow players to enter the game. There are also five senses, sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. It is like entering another world!"

In fact, it is another world. MI added in his thought.

"Pain sense and gravity these type of stuff are normal. The players will feel like the time there flow 10 times quicker than the reality. Don't worry, it won't cause any fatigue and no side effects."

"Also, when players die in there. They at most faint for a couple hours. If they are trained soldier, then their 'revive time' can be much shorter because of the pain resistance built. In short, it is completely safe using this device."

"If this recreational product is that good, why don't you sell it by your own."

MI knew what Seamus means. Seamus meant why choosing our company when you can spread the news of your product quickly and get a spot in the gaming industry swiftly.

"Heheh, well, you see, people trust your company more as it is the largest company in the gaming industry. If a random fameless company introduced a brand new product that required you eating a strange pill just to play a game. Would you trust them?"

"Even now, if I tell you there are no problem eating these pills, would you really eat it just to test if there are no problems? Heh, I don't think so."

MI shrugged. After lunch time, Seamus, MI and secretary went back to office and showcase the game.

"Watch, the live video feedback will be 10 times quicker. In order to watch a normal video, you will have to slow it down to 0.1 times. Lol."

…

"This is normal speed? The battle feels like Sanic versus Guko."

"YouToo play speed can go down to at most to 0.25 times, which means in the game is 2.5 times quicker."

"Still, it is quick."

"Yes."

MI stopped the live broadcast, quitted playing and woke up.

"How is it?"

"You got yourself a deal."

MI is a god, it doesn't need cash. But the profit is needed to go in its account. Or else the other business partner will be suspicious of its purpose. Well, it can't be helped. I guess the money will go into a certain tree project a couple years later.
