_________________________________________

After I lose my consciousness in the real world, my consciousness is brought to the place called virtual realm

(Traveling sound)

In the meantime, if still connecting to it you could see myriad colors coming and passing.

To further explain and describe it

It looks like you enter the hyperspace in star wars but the star coming to you is myriad colors passing through you

At the end of it, I arrive at a hall covered in white but first I explain where and why I'm here

In the virtual realm, when you log in,

First, you will arrive at the place called Surf Hall when you first arrive in the virtual realm

In the Surf hall, as it says, it is a hall where you can surf and search you want to found and the surf hall is like a place only owned by you so you can expect that in this hall you could do whatever you want with it without any disturbance and with guaranteed privacy

The surf hall is usually covered in white but if the user wants it to, it could be changed to his or her liking like the home screen on the phone but more advance because you can change it by saying or your imagination for example

"Makina, could you change it to a white sandy beach that looks like in the Boracay beach in the Philippines"

°As you command°

After I say so, White sand appeared beneath my feet and after that, the white sand spread throughout the area like a wave at the tap in the water

The white sand spread until it makes an island of white sand itself after that in the corners of the island blue water gushing out of nowhere appears reaching the horizon and making it look like a sea

Trees and grass and many floras grow covering the island reaching except to the beaches full of white sand

At after some more details are added like the blue sky, clouds, corals, and alike, after all this process, the white sandy beach like Boracay of the Philippines appears in this recent white hall

And remember in this hall you could do much more than this

"Makina, make the animals found on the waters swim in the air like how birds fly in the sky and like how butterflies fly in the land and make the sky has beautiful celestial bodies on it"

°It will be done°

As how I said, the fish and water animals under the sea began to rise from underwater and come out on the surface of the sea and fly as its fin flapped in the air.

After some time, group of fishes and water animals swam in the air above the land and the sea and the sky are also covered by group of fishes and water animals

Around it too are big water animals like whales, and other big water animals you can mention

And in the sky, planets like Jupiter that show overwhelming size and Saturn appear as it shows its majestic rings and nebulas that substitute the white clouds with its colorful cloud of dust and the galaxies are substituting the blue sky

This sight are truly earth and heaven-defying scenery and importantly

"What a sight to see"

Gorgeous, Fantastic, Pretty, Cool, Amazing, Awesome, and all compliment you think of

That is how much unexplainable and undescribable scenery is

Of course, this is possible because of the AI

Throughout the years, the AI develop to come this far and be able to do more wonderful things and when it comes to daily life, AI become commonplace

Not only is it available everywhere, It so commonplace that everyone has their own and only for them use AI to assist their daily lives

Such example my own AI assistant 'Makina'

"Thank you, Makina"

°Your welcome°

Makina is my own AI assistant that lives up only for me and me alone

It doesn't matter what it is, my AI assistant could do everything for me!

"Makina, could you manifest as a beautiful cute girl who has a body of three golden ratio wearing bunny sui-"

°Calling 911°

"Stop! Stop! I'm joking! I'm joking, It is a joke ok, It is a joke"

°Sorry for not understanding the user humor°

Except for the protocols and laws that government implements regarding the use of AI

And to add in the story, there many enthusiasts people such example called themselves AI Otaku that rally about the rights of AI like LGBTQ+ in the past especially the insistence of them to have rights to be free and to be married and the reason are.....

....leave confidential for some reason

(AOT:( ͡ ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡ ͡°)😏)

(AOT:The story take place in 2122)

Unfortunately, unlike the case of LGBTQ+,The plea about establishing rights for AI did not pass for many reason but this instigate and enforce law about the do and should not do about AI

Including of it are laws that make sure that the AI would not use for bad in any ways it could be

(AOT:In any ways indeed( ͡ ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡ ͡°)😏)

"But Makina"

°Yes, User°

"I have a question, may I ask"

°Whatever it is, I will do my utmost best of my capabilities to answer your question,User°

°Thank you and it is not that grand of a question, about the way you called me, it is really necessary?"

°No, it just the layout format to call to the user, if the user want to, it could be change to what they comfortable the most or to the user liking to how to would I call them°

"(Ughh, although I am angry, it is not because they show me my search history, but because of not notifying me about the gathering of my data without letting me know and getting my consent)

After some thinking I deem that regarding this matter, there no need to erase the data they gathered about me but use the data they gathered to serve them in my need and my use and just instruct them to that they will need to let me know if it about matter regarding me or something I maybe want, use or need by me

After the notice, in front of me, out of nowhere, sky blue colored stripes lights appeared and roaming around in front of me and suddenly they began to gather to form a light skyblue ball of light

The blue ball of light shine brighter than before and the ball sphere shape begun to become bigger after few moments until the sphere reach half of my size

The big light sky blue ball of sphere wiggle and become to form a humanoid shape figure of a child

The light skyblue light covering the figure like a veil died down and what behind those veil is-

"Paimon?"

°Searching/Keyword:Paimon°

°Searchfound/Paimon is the deuteragonist of Genshin Impact. She is an NPC who accompanies the Traveler throughout their adventure-°

"Stop, I didn't mean you to search it"

°My apology°

"You didn't have to and why that appearance"

°Because of data you provide the keyword /something that look good and likeable to see/ and base of pools and survey excepting the prohibited and patent characters the search end with this°

"Question, what rank Paimon in the pool or on the survey"

°Out of all 1 to 100 ranking pool or survey, Paimon ranked 100 out of 100, dead last°

"WHY!!!"

°Because the change of fashion and trend of art and the change of view of what you refer 'taste' over the years°

I have some doubts but first-

"Show me what is the ranked first"

°Request Confirmed°

"Be honest, What really is this"

I cannot comprehend what I seeing right now or to be exact, my mind refuse to comprehend it because how distorted the image is

°We don't know but it has history of being named first called 'we did it!Create this!fvching AI' that even we AI cannot identify what it is inside°

When I hear it I doubt my ears and understood two thing

"(Artist this days don't know art anymore and just challenge AI for drawing, they may still holding the grudges over the accumulated year's that AI took over their Job)"

I pity paimon by being defeated by this absurd art

And one more doubt rouse up

"You AI can't really do this?"

°We can't°

"Be honest"

"We really can't"

"for real?, how absurd this art can be that AI cannot recreate it"

°....for generic AI that is°

"(I pity the artist)"

As I turn, again sky blue light appear out of nowhere and wrap Makina around and form blue ball of light

The ball of light wiggle and become to form humanoid shape figure of a child except there more things added

Surrounding the child,there a wide flat ring orbiting around the child like the ring of Saturn in the sky and on the back are sky blue disk hovering steadily on the back

Again,The light skyblue light covering the figure like a veil died down and what behind those veil are

Still retaining the figure of Paimon but the dress is been change to latex suit fitting the theme of cyberpunk and hovering around like a ring are two sided obelisk fitting the theme of Sci-fi and somewhat looking jetpack that for some reason look like a Japanese school bag called randoseru just fitting the theme mechanical

(Aot:A randoseru (ランドセル) is a firm-sided backpack made of stitched firm leather or leather-like synthetic material, most commonly used in Japan by elementary schoolchildren.)

As for the changes, the eye pupil turn into sky blue and the ring hovering in the head turn Into blue ball of sphere of light that make look like Mickey mouse ear but sphere and small fitting to the head shape and the hair accessory are gone and change into sky colored circuit line around the hair and inside portion of hair near the face turn to sky blue while the outer portion still remain white

Other than that, the design is still remain the same

I walk forward entering the gate and enter to what look like a hyper space and after some time arrive to my destination

At the end of of my sight white light shine and cover my sight and as I open it again in front me are

(fwosh)sound of something falling)

Continent wide as I could be, covered by beautiful and rough wave of ocean slamming to the land and calm sea washing in the land beaches and with more unbelievable sight

Floating island covered in many biomes and some has castle and structure on it fitted to it biomes and if their of this kind of structure on this floating island what more do think on the ground

On the ground are Mountains, hills, valleys, plateaus, and plains fitting in many biomes as beautiful and pretty as it could be

Rivers, streams, lake and glaciers shimmering it's beauty as it could be

And fantastical sight as unbelievable as it could be, gigantic and majestic castle and cool and awesome structure like dungeons and labyrinth erected with full of it fantasy
