Because of this NO NAME's statement, many people in the group began to search for what kind of game "AttaFami" was.
Soon they got the answer. It was an online fighting game that had been quite popular in recent years. While maintaining its entertainment value, it also maintained a decent level of competitiveness. Its sales in Japan alone had already exceeded one million, and many videos of battles between experts could be found online.
As gaming enthusiasts, Umaru and Kuroneko had naturally heard of this game. Umaru was even very surprised and said that she had also played this game for a period of time recently and had even spent a few weeks to rush to the top fifty on the ranked ladder.
UMR: "AttaFami is quite fun, but I play a lot of different games. After reaching the top fifty at that time, I found that climbing higher would take up a lot of my time for other games, so I gradually quit this game."
UMR: "I just found the game. NO NAME, you're the person who is currently second on the ranked ladder, right? Could it be that the number one, 'nanashi', is [Blank]?"
However, very quickly, Umaru denied it herself in the group. Because in all the urban legends about [Blank], their character ID was always a blank space with no characters. Even in those games where nicknames were prohibited from using spaces, their character ID was still a blank space.
It was precisely for this reason that people constantly suspected that [Blank] was using some kind of cheat to maintain their undefeated record.
If the mysterious person hadn't mentioned in today's diary that [Blank] was a pair of siblings whose gaming ability far surpassed reality, Umaru probably would have just treated the rumors of [Blank] as an urban legend.
And in the chat group, that NO NAME also quickly replied.
NO NAME: "nanashi is not [Blank]. He has suffered many failures in the process of becoming number one on the ladder. When his form is not good, I am not without a chance of winning against him. Overall, although there is still a small gap between my strength and his at the moment, if I am willing to spend Reading Value on gaming, at most it would only take a week for me to surpass him. It's just that I don't want to use my precious Reading Value on this."
NO NAME: "But [Blank] is different. They appeared last year when nanashi had not yet reached the top. In one week, they reached the number one spot with a perfect winning streak, and then they defended their position on the ranked list for two weeks, and still no one could defeat them. In the end, I don't know if they were banned by the game officials or if they deleted their own accounts and left. In any case, the total time they spent in AttaFami was less than a month."
NO NAME: "And during this period, I fought against [Blank] twice. Fighting against them felt like facing a machine that would absolutely not make a mistake. No matter what kind of probe, it couldn't get a reaction from them. But even if I revealed a momentary flaw, it would be captured by them. Although it may sound like a sore loser for me to say this, before today's diary update from the mysterious person, including me, a considerable portion of AttaFami players had always regarded [Blank] as a cheating player."
Fallen Holy Black Cat: "For you, who is currently ranked second in the entire game, to say this, it seems that [Blank]'s strength is really terrifying. But according to the mysterious person's statement, [Blank] is a pair of siblings, but this kind of fighting game should be operated by one person, right? I just don't know if the one who fought you was the older brother or the younger sister."
NO NAME: "No matter which one it was, I really want to fight them again now. Even the god of games from another world who has never lost couldn't win against them. After knowing this, losing to them is no longer a disgrace. Before, I thought they were cheating players, so I treated my own mistakes that were captured by them as their problem, and even disdained the playstyle they used. Thinking back now is really embarrassing. I really want to know how big the gap is between me now and them."
NO NAME: "It's just a pity that according to the rumors on the forums, [Blank] never looks back. Once they've conquered a game, they lose interest in it."
The few gaming experts in the group also expressed that they would go and look for the tracks of [Blank], find the next game they would challenge, and then go and experience for themselves just how terrifying their strength could be.
At the end of the chat, Umaru even took the initiative to invite this NO NAME to a match in AttaFami.
Seeing that the topic was about to get sidetracked again, Kasumigaoka Utaha also popped up to bring the topic back to today's diary.
Kasumi Utako: "So, setting aside your challenge match for a moment, isn't the main topic of our discussion today supposed to be the other worlds? Just how chaotic is this world of ours!"
Kasumi Utako: "Reincarnation, vengeful spirits, exorcists, gems that can grant eternal life, and now there's a pile of gods from other worlds watching from the side. And from what the mysterious person says, those gods from other worlds will even form groups to come to our world and pull people over to save their worlds. So are these gods so bored all day?"
Kaguya: "Who knows what the gods are thinking? But anyway, the existence of gods can already be confirmed. I will have someone investigate on the [Blank] side, but according to what you all have said, besides their gaming skills, their computer skills are probably not low either. The mysterious person has not revealed too much information about them, so the possibility of finding them at present is not high."
Kaguya: "However, the matter of [Blank] and the gods of other worlds will not affect our lives for the time being. But everyone should be mentally prepared. Because the mysterious person mentioned for the first time in the diary the 'duty of a transmigrator,' the reason we obtained this diary is very likely related to the gods of our world. No matter how you think about it, the world we are in will definitely not be very stable in the future."
Kaguya: "On my side, I learned some simple spiritual power training methods from the Godly Mother of Shitamachi today. Through my tests, it can be assisted with Reading Value. And I also received a reminder from the diary that I can consume Reading Value to fuse different systems of training methods. It's just that it requires 50 Reading Points. At the current rate of acquiring Reading Value, it would take almost a month. If anyone has any ideas, you can start saving up Reading Points from now on."
Miko: "I also plan to save up my Reading Value. After all, when I run into those vengeful spirits now, as long as I look through the diary, I won't attract their attention. To maintain the current situation, I don't need to use Reading Value for the time being."
