[attr="class","bg"]REBIRTH

OK, SO,

Ippo had been speaking to enough people to establish that it appeared to be a game, they were in a game - sorry. They were in a game, that may have come because of the light that had hit earth? Obelisks rose from the ground and changed everything. In Ippo's mind, it was extra-terrestrial. Whether or not that mattered mattered little because it had manifested in such a way that was so human.

Well, except Ippo wasn't really the "traditional human" he still had the overarching objective of finding his family and without the notification of people loading in late he had no idea. He kept returning to his home estate, marking it as his own if that made sense so that if they did return - he would be there for them.

Only, even his place of living seemed different with changes. But, he needed to still go out and get groceries, only it had all been looted from when the tutorial had taken place. The world had effectively ruptured, the guns weren't working (he had only found this out because of the poor attempt at martial law by the Japanese government; their equipment, including guns, did not work.) So it was no longer uncommon to find discarded weapons on the floor. Nobody could use them anyway. Ippo thought it might've been a good idea to grab one of them anyway just in case things changed, but right now, it was a lump of metal. He pocketed a handgun 0 even it if was better as a doorstop right now.

But right now, he was just looking for what he could eat - did that mean looting? His consciousness didn't like the idea of that. What was meant to be a polite, nice, long walk across the new neo japan made it difficult when all of the stores he knew of formerly were gone and replaced with new and improved stuff he couldn't access. Maybe he could force his way into some place?

Did he have to kill more mecha bugs?

He shuddered, not wanting to even do that again.
