Beyond Prologue ─ Bitter Song and Sugar Steps

The world is a simulation.

It was what I confirmed come August 10, 2021 while walking by Kyoto's famous Nishiki Market by Nishikikoji Street buying groceries and without expecting any aberration, not a deity sitting down an offertory box, certainly not of twins strangling one another in the middle of the town, and never I could have imagined meeting the newest of my magnum opus.

Living along Kyoto─or presumably in any part of Japan─for a Filipino student was hard, coping with the culture and all. But the difficult necessity I had to pursue and cope with was interrupted by the encounter of an unlikely character, scarce from any preparation that I was taken captive in its insanity.

During the event, I learned the novel way how the world runs inside a computer.
