"What the hell is going on?!" A handsome man named Tanaka did not shout to anyone in particular.
He is one of the leading programmers of many programmers who check the system for any glitches or problems in the game.
"Master, we don't know. The game worked fine, but it somehow started to get erased by itself." A fat nerd told him he was still typing code to remove the virus.
"We have to unplug the plug. I can't let all my work go to waste. We spent over four years and so much money on this game."
"But sir, there's still people there." A female programmer told him.
"Just force out and save as much data as possible before everything is gone. Otherwise, it will be a burden on all of you." Tanaka threatened them before he left to inform the director.
"Fuck."
A random computer programmer said after Tanaka left.
"true." Some agreed, and they became calm, focused on the situation.

At that moment, the entire area around the world started to take out
warning signals tell players to logout.
"Electric death? Well, even if that happens, there's a backup power generator. Did something happen to the game server?" A player asked himself.
He immediately logged out, feeling something bad would happen to him if he did not.
Many players begin to log out following that person's example.
Some condemned the company for obstructing them when they would be in contact***, and others ignored the signs, undressing them and touching the waifu/husband they called.
For people who ignored the warnings, they froze in place, and forcibly logged out.
The system runs a diagnostic scan to see if anyone is left behind.
...1%..4%...38%...57%...63%...99......
...{Find one. Location, home player}...
...It's looking for player ID....
...{Regulus} ...
...[.Logout.error..com..]...
For some reason, it cannot force the user to log out, nor can it send any warning to the user. It sends a message to the main computer for input.
While waiting, it records vital signs, brain activity, and user videos, {Regulus}.

I looked at him nervously and I rubbed my arms.
It's like meeting my first crush in high school again.
Celestine noticed my actions as she chuckled.
"Teehee, you shouldn't be too nervous, sir. I'll never hurt you."
"I-I know that." I said nervously.
Celestine stopped in front of me with a sweet smile on her face as she placed her hands over her heart,
"I, Celestine Lucullus, will serve you, sir. May you be protected by my light on our journey together to defeat the demon lord."
It worked, I moved a little, grabbed her waist, pushed her towards me, making her gasp in shock.
We looked into each other's eyes as I hugged her and she hugged me. We started leaning against each other, closing our eyes when we were a few inches away.
I could feel my heart beating so fast that my gaze started to sway as our lips approached each other.
Leaning inward, we closed our eyes together before I heard Celestine open her mouth and we kissed.
The last thing I felt was her tender warm kiss and I didn't know anymore.

POV Celestine:
"Hmm? Mister?" Celestine opened her eyes in surprise when she only felt a light peck, but that was not what surprised her.
What was surprising was that his arm pierced through his master.
"Master!!" He cried, fell to his knees crying as he broke into small pieces.
Then he froze and everything went dark.

...[.Monitoring Room]...
Tanaka arrives back in a sweat of fear from a meeting with the CEO of the company.
He tightened his tie, adjusting his face with a stern look as he stepped through the door.
"Well!?!! How's situation? Are you fixing it or not!?!"
He screamed, praying they did.
He didn't want to know what would happen if they didn't.
"Y-yes p-pak, we did, but there were some unexpected complications." A nervous employee said.
Silence for a few seconds as they waited to be shouted at again.
"Well, what's the problem? Did we lose all the data?" Tanaka.
"N-no, no sir. We store 78% of our important data. The rest is just player data and some anime characters."
"Good, good. That's good." He nodded with a smile, feeling relieved.
"But sir, there's one very bad complication." A female employee spoke up, ruining her mood.
He continued as tanaka glared at him, "That's one of the players, sir. He's not logged out and the AI can't take him out by force before we shut down the game. It also recorded her vital signs and her final moments. He's dead, sir."
"So? Just send money to his family as compensation and force them to sign the NDA. After that, delete all the data about that player from our server." Tanaka said, waving her hand as if it was no problem.
"But, but sir, a man died..." The same woman tried to refute, but she gasped in shock at Tanaka's anger.
*bang*
"COVER YOUR MOUTH IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!!!" He yelled at her.
Everyone gasped and lowered their heads while trembling in fear.
"Now, excuse me, there's a press conference I have to go to." He sighed before coming out of the room.
After all, he should look neat.
"Buck ..." Someone muttered after a minute of typing the code on the screen as several other employees muttered other curse words.
