『Prologue』
A crappy game.
That's what 18 year old game-obsessed Sora, a virgin and a NEET thought of the world.
There's no way to know the rules or the goal, yet there are 7 billion players making whatever moves they want. If you lose too much, or win too much, there are penalties. You can't pass your turn, and if you talk too much, you'll be ostracized. There are no parameters and no way to even know the genre. This world is just… a crappy game.
He clicked away at an MMORPG game, controlling four accounts with his hands and feet. After defeating another horde of players, he took a bite out of a hunk of white bread. The human brain can function as long as it has glucose. White bread is best, in terms of cost-performance.
He glanced at the clock, which read 8:00 AM. A few minutes later, a "ping" disrupted the silence of Sora's room. Sora opened the mail app on his iPad.
『 』
Sender: unknown
Have you ever felt like you were born in the wrong world?
How did he know 『 』 was one person? Well, it might be fun to see where this goes.
Sora clicked the hyperlink, and was directed to a chess game. He grinned, 『 』never loses. Chess is a finite two player game, zero sum and perfect information game. Luck has no part in it. Theoretically, there is a perfect solution that will never lose.
It seemed like he was playing a computer program at first, but after a few manipulative moves, it became clear he was playing a human. Even if he wasn't able to understand the 10^120 possible states of the board, using his bluffs and manipulative strategies, there was no way he could lose.
IT IS DRAW!
It had been ten rounds already, and each one ended in a draw. Five of them ended in stalemates, four of them due to threefold repetition, and one due to the fifty-rule move.
It was impossible. 『 』always won.
Thank you so much for reading, and please review! I enjoyed writing this, and it gave me an excuse to rewatch the anime!
No Game No Life is definitely my favorite anime as of now... The character's personalities may be slightly different, and the reasons why will be explained... later.
