Ecstas Online Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part1

VOLUME 1, CHAPTER 1-1

While in deep sleep, an electronic noise that was so soothing was then heard.

.....Are, what's this? When did I sleep?

My consciousness gradually begins to become a lot more clear, but it is still dark right before my eyes. I'm planning on opening up my eyes, but what happened in the first place? Is the World Heritage data still not loading in?

The following instant, the darkness changes to a tunnel which s.h.i.+nes a bright blue color. The lights drew such complicated patterns along the way, it felt like I was going through some sort of nerve cells or integrated circuits. I witnessed the beautiful light that was swiftly dancing around, and the sparkling light s.h.i.+ned again at the end of the tunnel. Oh, I somehow began thinking that if I jump there, I'd wake up.

But what is up with this strange dramatic login process? It totally seems like a scene from a sci-fi movie. Perhaps, If I wake up, I'd be in a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, moving from one soul of a person to another, going back to the past or going to a different world?

Surely it must happen at least once in three pages, where a sketch with a beautiful girl who has reached the other world will occur. It's probably something like giving me a girlfriend with a blonde or pink hair, but in three minutes I'll drown. I'd love that sort of development, honestly. While thinking of these stupid thoughts, I opened my eyes.

――Before my very eyes, was a sword and another sword which strikes at each other and spark scatter.

「Huh?」

A swordsman who was fully-cladded in armor and a horrendous orc with a mixture of human and pig are slas.h.i.+ng at each other with their swords.

……Na.

  The orc's sword sank to the head of the swordsman, and as it was, the swordsman body collapsed on the ground like it was a manipulated puppet with its threads broken. The silver armor was covered in blood and mud as it rolled. The orc who convinced itself that the victory was his flung the sword up and cried out a battle-cry. It distorted the lips that were curled up and drooled. He'll probably smile, but that's very unlikely since he looks awfully scary.

What? Ah ah! What?! T-this is! What?! Wasn't this supposed to be a World Heritage!?   At that very moment, an arrow came flying towards the orc and the eerie smile the orc had suddenly disappeared. And the orc collapsed to the ground, it kept repeating *biku* *biku* and there was so much spasm in the orc's movements, eventually, the orc stopped moving.   During the arrow-storm, a gigantic troll that was five meters in height walks and makes thudding noises. Hair was non-existent in the troll's body, though the hands were extraordinarily long with a quite thick appearance. The troll's body had arrows sticking out from it, and the troll suddenly swung it's hammer that it held in it's hands, and people were blown off like nothing in an instant. A soldier who was cladded in heavy armor danced throughout the air as if it was interesting and was beaten to the ground like a pulp.   I was paralyzed by the sight that was happening right in front of me, believing it wasn't realistic.

It was a battlefield.
