Let's see the world a bit

Aaron took his steps outside of his apartment, and locked the door. Well, not like he needed to do it. He was aware that thievery was basically very unlikely, and he didn't have anything of value at his place either way. It was just a **** of habit.

'Let's go check this shit out.' He thought, making his way down the corridor and into the elevator. In all honesty, the initial shock and difficulty of seeing the world in this anime-style rendering was all gone by now. Perhaps it was his experience in having watched a load of anime in his life? He was willing to bet it on that.

After pressing a button in the elevator, the machine immediately started going downwards. Aaron lived on 5th floor in an apartment building, so more often than not, he took the elevator rather than the stairs, just like everyone else. However... why couldn't he see a single soul?

It wasn't just in corridor and elevator. After he got to the ground floor, he took his steps outside the building as soon as he could, and was perplexed to see the typically busy roads of Las Vegas... completely empty. Where was everyone?

He knew that sub-sims exited, and expected a lot of people to go in them, but never, ever did he imagine EVERYONE would go in there. Or, maybe, it was just a thing in here? Yes, surely that was the issue.

He walked onto the road, and crossed it leisurely, not a single vehicle as far as he could see. Actually, there were no mechanical sounds, either. All Aaron could hear were... birds. A lot of birds, too. He looked up, and noticed a lot of pigeons all around the place, sitting on edges of roofs, as if awaiting something. He tilted his head a little, unable to understand. Were sub-sims so great? He knew well that some people (such as boomers... and other people that didn't like the concept of the HS) would be highly **** to go anywhere but the main simulation... or perhaps they stayed in their homes?

No, no point pondering like that. Aaron was sure that this must've been a mistake on his part. Deciding that he's had enough pondering on useless things, he simply started walking forward. Taking in some more details of the city, he found himself to be weirdly... accustomed to all this. The style of the buildings, the street, and the pigeons he saw were all... familiar to him. He actually kind of felt like he had always lived in this place, for some reason.

He walked one avenue, and then another one. Deciding that he's had enough of sight-seeing, he decided that it was time to try out a sub-sim for himself. However... he then noticed someone.

The girl seemed to be about his height (or a little shorter at best), with waist-long, blonde hair that had ends changed into a pinkish one, red eyes and small nose. She had a sharp jawline, but it didn't give her an aggressive look, rather, a cute one.

He took a look at her body, and instantly noticed one thing. Her breasts. How could they be so large? Each of them seemed larger than her head, and the black top she wore was straining to contain her, one of her pierced nipples halfway spilling out of it. Her bottom was also toned, but not as much, and with a thin waistline she seemed like a bombshell.

As he was about to say something to her, the girl turned around and started walking away, as if she didn't want anything to deal with him the moment she saw him.

Momentarily, he took a sigh of relief. Yeah, just like in real world, nobody really cared about him in HS, which was a somewhat good news to him. But... as he watched the girl walk away, he commanded the system:

"System, bring out data about that girl."

'...WHAT?!! Way to go, you already broke it, Aaron!' He looked at data in shock. No, how could it be?!

"System, what's up with that data?! Why does it look like that?!"

[That is correct interpretation of that User's data.]

"...what? It's complete gibberish!"

[Please remain calm, Aaron. However strange it may seem, that is correct information read from that User's page.]

"...I see." 'So... the problem is not with me, but with that girl's name?' He pondered for a moment. "Screenshot those panels." He said.

[Understood. Screenshot was added to your personal gallery.]

Should he go after her and try to tell her or something? He... wasn't sure. As much as he was perplexed what happened, he was fine with letting the issue go. In the end of the day, it wasn't his problem. But... he was interested. For such advanced technology, a bug like that seemed unlikely. Then again, he had no idea what Atterian technology REALLY could do.

'...ah, fuck it. What's the worst that can happen anyway?' He thought for a moment as his feet started going after the girl. He was too curious to let the issue slip.

He broke into a quick jog, the distance diminishing from 40 to about 15 metres. The girl was still going away, her toned bottom swaying left and right with every step she took. In fact, once he rose his eyes, he noticed how her breasts became visible from one side, and then the other, her bending her body just a little to the left and right as they made a pendulum-like movement.

The girl's waist-long hair of blonde-pink color were moving in unison with the rest of her body, and in a way, she looked like a model.

"Excuse me! Emma!" He shouted a little as he approached her.

Suddenly, the girl stopped in one spot and turned to him. Her red eyes were fixed on him as her face expressed pure shock she emanated. Was she not expecting him to react to her?

"...what did you call me?" She asked, standing still.

"Um... Emma." He replied, although with a bit of hesitation. The text might've been glitched, but he was able to make out an 'E' in the beginning, and something that looked like 'mm' afterwards. He wasn't 100% sure, but it was better to take that chance that not to do anything. At least, that was how he saw it.

"..." She looked at him from head to toe, and then somewhere to his right and left, as if she were trying to look for anything suspicious. "...you can read my name?"

"...kind of." He said, a little hesitantly. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Stay away." She replied quickly, and started walking away.

"But there's an issue with-"

"Leave me alone." She cut him out, this time her voice sounding aggressive.

"Please, it's a-"

"Leave me the fuck alone!" She turned to him, visibly agitated, and with bullet speed she aimed a punch at him.

Aaron didn't even manage to register the hit. All he knew was one moment he was trying to explain the situation to that girl, and next he was flying through the air. No way. Just how much strength did that girl have? As he landed on the ground, he looked around with a bit of a daze, and felt his heart sink.

The earth all around was cracked. The epicenter of the cracks seemed to be just about where he got hit, a few metres ahead of him. Aaron turned his head to the nearest building, and saw how its surface was also covered in a spider web of breaks. A few windows were shattered, shards of glass all over the place.

...how was this possible? He couldn't even bring himself to ponder on that. That girl not only swung at lightning speed, but with strength that probably could rival Superman's. And that brought a second issue to the table. Where was she?

He was aware of the system of punishments depending on severity of the attempted crime, and looking at the damage done, it was clear that that Emma (?) girl was attempting to **** him. She should be convulsing in pain right now. Then why wasn't she anywhere in sight?

'Just what the fuck happened?' He wondered.
