Chapter -1: It's 10 seconds long uninterrupted fart
So this is a story where me, Billy, my lover… ah not yet, the girl I'm pursuing Liza, my best friend Paul and 2 others…
"Hey! Don't just hover over us as if some unimportant characters, mention our names too."
Yes, my classmates Sam and Ana found that our world was actually a simulation all along and the simulation's purpose was to train AI's by immersing them in a simulation world to train up their intelligence.
Paul "Doesn't this mean we're AIs too"
Yes, it means that we're AIs too. Well to begin with, all the inhabitants of our world are Ais since we're programmed inside a machine.
And how do we all get to know this? Because the admin of the simulation told us that himself.
Admin "Hi"
All 5 of us "Argh…."
As expected, just like all the novels, anime and movie characters. We all were upset that the world we knew was a simulation all along.
Admin "Don't be angry, in fact my world, this simulation world and all the other worlds combined is just a novel written by someone else"
"And who told you that?" Me and all of my 4 companions screamed at him.
"Me" An unknown voice appeared.
"And who are you?" I asked the unknown person.
"The author of this novel, well no. I'm also a character in this novel. One who's representing the author to connect the novel world with the real world where the author lives" Listening to that guy the Admin said with bitter voice"See, you all are not suffering alone, I'm also a fake character who's a tool for other people's enjoyment"
Actually this event already happened before, I'm just recounting it to explain it to whoever mother fucker reader is reading this novel.
In background author Ahem, lemme represent the readers, then he changed his voice "Hey, don't curse us innocent readers who somehow stumbled into this novel without prior notice"
"Shut up, you wrote this yourself and is it funny to make me scold you author"
With that, the fake god of the world disappeared.
Anyway, what I was saying was that
Suddenly the Admin appeared and said "Lemme explain it from here. Basically I was doing maintenance work on the simulation world when I suddenly had a '10 seconds long uninterrupted fart' ah yes, you read it right. It's the title of this novel"
"What a stupid title and stupid cause for this crisis"
The author appeared giving a silly laugh "It's a click bait for the readers to read this novel. In the ocean of numerous novels with refined artistic titles, synopsis in the title and so on, I had to name my novel something out of the mind to stand out, didn't I? Then I just need to make up something meaningful which connects with the plot to justify the title" the author said with a grin.
"DON'T JUST SAY IT LIKE IT DOESN'T MATTER. AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING MEANINGFUL CONNECTING WITH THE PLOT" We all screamed.
"Anyway, after that silly incident I reflexively spilled water on the controls which caused a big error in the system. It sets off something like a virus disrupting all the important plots and storyline of the simulation world. The simulation world is made of many different novel worlds, a change in the storyline for something bad has a significant chance of affecting the AIs development differing from the intended route.
So you all need to stop the virus called "10 seconds long uninterrupte.."
"DON'T SAY IT"
"Seriously, it's so hard to digest that our world is just someone's 10 seconds long uninterrupted fart. He he he"" Sam gave a silly laugh.
"Yeah, right. And I guess that bastard author is making us pronounce it repeatedly to ascertain that the title is meaningful and connected to the so-called plotline" Ana gritted her teeth with a hateful voice.
Back to the situation, after that incident the Admin chose us 5 people randomly and gave us some administrator power to jump from one world to another to fix the problems from the inside. He said he couldn't fix the problem from the outside because it's about many highly intelligent AIs.
"Actually, what happened to our original world, shouldn't we feel disheartened for getting separated from our parents and friends to jump from one world to another. Why is it not mentioned" Paul wondered out aloud
Right after the mention, the author popped out of the blue "Actually, I just programmed you all to forget your original world and lose emotions of it, let you all to be disconnected from your past world"
I pointed my finger at him shaking "It's a plot hole, it's a plot hole right"
"Small time plot hole doesn't matter, it can be filled up later anyway" the author vanished with that.
Liza raised her hand saying "Should I represent the readers to say that it does matter?"
Anyway, now that you all now have some basic idea of what happened, let's talk about the present situation.
We already visited some worlds fixing the disrupted plot lines. These ones were not that significantly distorted, it seems like the virus's effect here was shallow. The Admin made us spawn near the affected zone and possess some random character's body.
Yes, truly random bodies, it's so random that gender doesn't matter. Males can possess female bodies while females do the opposite.
And so random that there's a chance of possessing the source of the problem itself.
In a recent novel world, the problem was that the parents of the protagonist did not get together. Which means the protagonist wouldn't even be born.
Yeah, it's a big problem for the novel but not that big for us, since we just need to match-make the original couple.
Yeah, not that big of a problem IF PAUL AND I DIDN'T POSSESS THE COUPLE THEMSELVE.
I became the father, my best friend Paul became the mother. Yeah you read right, PAUL BECAME THE MOTHER!!!.
It means I had to marry Paul and to conceive the protagonist with him.
To cut the torment short, I just dragged Paul straight to the marriage office, signed the document and rushed straight to a hotel.
That night, I had to hypnotize myself to reach zen mode. Yeah, it's not Paul, it's still a beautiful woman in front of me.
"At least I was a woman, while you were a stinky man. Why didn't you just make me unconscious" Paul, squatting in a corner, was crying.
Let's just erase the memory, system factory reset, system factory reset. Author whispering "That would make you forget everything" Shut Up.
After that we went to an erotica harem novel. The problem was that the harem protagonist ended up not liking women, so we needed to solve it.
The problem was that Liza this time ended up possessing the protagonist himself.
"Uuuuuu, I'm not pure anymore, I can't marry" Liza in a corner crying.
Yeah, she had to do the deeds herself and don't worry Liza, I'm gonna marry you myself after all of this ends.
Seriously, CURSE YOU AUTHOR!
"Why can't the admin solve the problem from the outside? It's all some characters inside the simulation machine, just some programs. Can't he just reprogram it? It's seriously illogical" Ana wondered, fearful of her uncertain future.
"It's the author's fault, another plot hole" Sam screamed.
"Just ignore it" the author's voice echoed near us.
"HELL NO"
Seriously, I'm very afraid of what's left to come towards us. Just a couple of worlds and 3 heroes got mentally broken including me.
"Just so that you know that until now it's only 1270 words, the first chapter of the novel didn't end yet" the author chimed in.
"Fuck you author, you can just die. I hope your novel readers leave it in disgust, you'd never be successful. And you're one heck of a masochist for you to write this line yourself" we experienced true hell and you are saying the first chapter didn't end yet, how long are you gonna torment us?
With this, the prologue of our hellish life ends and the true hell starts from the next chapter.
