Divergence: Black Hole

Akira Ono was walking down a long hallway on the top floor of a skyscraper. Any Japanese person would have recognized the names of the major corporations who held offices here. The hallway was long, and Akira had a terrible spell of dizziness. He couldn’t even tell if he was walking straight or in circles; even his vision was blurred. As he was hit with a sudden rush of nausea, Akira started for the bathroom with faltering feet, but even this walk seemed terribly long.

(What is this...?)

When Akira reached the bathroom, he was a little surprised. He couldn’t see the gender labels on the doors. He could tell that some sort of silhouette occupied the signage of the wall, but couldn’t see if the silhouette was wearing a skirt or not.

(Crap. I think I’m gonna barf...)

Stopped in his tracks, Akira tried to regain some vision.

After some time, when he opened his eyes again, he could see a little more clearly. He immediately ran into the men’s room, and forcefully threw up the contents of his stomach. He had been drinking with XX the night before, so vomit alone wasn’t too unexpected.

“Yeesh. I guess I’m getting old...” He mumbled to himself, now looking in the mirror.

At the time, Akira could decently hold his liquor for being in his twenties. It wasn’t often that he would feel it rush back up his throat the next day. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he turned back to his reflection.

“Yep. Ten out of ten. He’s a genius, too.”

He could say all he wanted as he stood alone in the bathroom. In fact, he felt that he had to convince himself, considering the person he was about to meet: Mickity, one of the inaugural players who had been playing Akira Ono’s game. Mickity’s profession in real life, as he later found out, was an executive director for 42-OMG, a video game company famous overseas. Someone who lived in a different world than Akira.

“Large-scale MMO, my ass. Maybe I’ll think about it for a hundred mil,” he said, but didn’t mean it deep down.

In fact, he kept thinking about what was behind this deal.

(What are they thinking...?)

Truth be told, it was abnormal for such a famous international corporation to show interest in a tiny indie game, and even more unusual that they would try to scam an individual by the same token. If they were really interested, why didn’t they just make it themselves? They had limitless manpower and finances. Who would pay mind to a minuscule indie game in some tiny Far Eastern island nation?

“Just so you know, I’m penniless.”

Sad but true. The only thing anyone would gain from scamming this man, who spent all of his money creating his own world, was an earful of insults.

“Let’s go, I guess...”

Slapping his cheeks, Akira returned out into the hallway. Now it appeared straight. He walked down the long hallway with proud strides and knocked on the door he had been looking for. An elderly gentleman with a monocle and a foreigner in a butler’s uniform appeared.
