1. The Beginning of Adventure

Prologue

There exists a star, blossoming with advanced civilization, located at the far reaches of the universe. The inhabitants of this star have been passionately engaged in the development of science and technology, relishing its fruits, since they passed a turning point called the Singularity over half a century ago.

The virtual reality space "Metaverse" now comprises not just a part of people's lives, but the majority of it. Aside from time spent sleeping and eating, people spend most of their time in the Metaverse. Here, they work and enjoy traveling, hold music concerts, and experience love. The Metaverse mimics all aspects of the real world and sometimes even offers experiences that transcend it.

The technology that converts the substance of the real world into digital data is known as the "Material Digitizer". Thanks to this device, people have been able to bring objects from the real world into the VR world. The boundary between reality and virtuality becomes more ambiguous day by day.

This Metaverse is not a single space but is formed by the connection of multiple spaces. There exist many Metaverses, each with their individual characteristics and rules, and together they form a "Multiverse". People move freely between these Metaverses, enjoying infinite possibilities in each space. Realizing this is the "Multi-Verse Connect Engine", developed by OIO, which has now grown into a colossal corporation, allowing for the connection of multiple Metaverses.

There exists a council within this vast Multiverse world. This council, established jointly by nations worldwide, enforces its unique laws within the Multiverse, maintaining order. The Chairman of this council, currently held by Mr. Bryant from the United States, carries the responsibility of preserving the laws and order of this expansive digital world as its second Chairman.

However, the focus of our story is not the rulers of this Multiverse. Our protagonists are a parent and child duo living in Tokyo, the capital of Japan: Kent Sawamura and Maya Sawamura. Maya is a 12-year-old girl with a difficult side, and her father Kent is a modest system engineer.

Both of them have a bit of a geeky and clumsy side, which adds to their charm. Their everyday life is like a novel they themselves are authoring, set in both the real world and the Metaverse. Their experiences are diverse and occasionally accompanied by difficulties, but they are always filled with love and adventure.

And now, a new story of the Sawamura family is about to begin somewhere in this Multiverse. What awaits them is a mystery that can only be known on the other side of the Metaverse. However, one thing is for certain: there must surely be an exciting new adventure awaiting them.
