Virtual Abduction III (story) (Patreon)

Several months have passed since those four virtual tubers disappeared. Even despite the time that has passed, it has been difficult to forget about them. Those disappearances not only correspond to their roles as vtubers, but also to those women who characterized them. One day they simply disappeared, as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth, even though in all cases there is a common denominator. They all disappeared into Hololive's lonely office late at night by staying late for work. Despite the fact that a long time has passed, those other vtubers who continue to develop their careers cannot help but wonder when one of them will be the next. The hypotheses about what happened to their colleagues are quite mixed. Some believe they were simply fired and they changed careers or perhaps left town once their vtuber career was slowed. However, others believe in that legend that deals with the possibility that, perhaps, some mysterious and unnatural force has absorbed them through the computer.

Everything is just very weird because those vtubers never answered their phones again, even when it comes to their personal phones or the company's phone number. On the other hand, no one reported their disappearance to the police, but their relatives and friends affirm that they have not returned, believing or, perhaps, being dissuaded that they have fled their life on their own and that they have decided to isolate themselves from everyone.  That wouldn't be such a difficult thing to think of if it were just one of those four women, but can the same thing really happen with four different women? On the other hand, if they had died, perhaps the body of one of these girls would have already been found or, on the other hand, something must have appeared on Hololive's security cameras, but none of that has been reported before, or, Perhaps, is it that the company is an accessory to the disappearances?

Despite the myths that are told about the possible and supernatural virtual abduction towards the computer of those four women, two Hololive employees do not seem concerned enough about those myths that are impossible to be true, so they find themselves working at late hours of the night at Hololive's office at the special invitation of one of the managers, who promised them that they would be fine and that there would be constant surveillance and all the necessary security measures so that they would feel comfortable enough. One of them, the woman who characterizes Haato, was more indecisive and thoughtful about staying up late at night, but on the other hand, the other woman who characterizes Aqua, was more excited about the world of possibilities that this new invention that Hololive offered to them to test very late at night. This invention sounded like an ordinary virtual reality glasses, although from what they had heard, it was an experimental technology that Hololive bought from a little-known scientist in the West. All that aura of mystery seemed quite striking and exciting to the one who characterizes Aqua, but on the other hand, it scares and worries the one who characterizes Haato, because it seemed a very strange coincidence that this invention is now presented to them with all the rumors that run about the myth of the virtual abduction of his four missing companions, especially because of the functions offered by those virtual reality glasses, which promised such a strong immersion within the video game with which they were used, that it would feel as if they were really inside the video game in the flesh somehow.

What's the worst that could happen? That more motivated woman wondered, who convinced her most frightened colleague to try said invention, while that manager was already going home and while he himself closed the door of that office room with a lock.

So those girls put on their virtual reality glasses and hit the "enter" button and head off on a new, surreal adventure. Suddenly they feel a strange tingling in their heads and, before they knew it, they were already inside that sandbox test video game that comes along with the virtual reality glasses. It is there that Haato begins to feel quite strange not even feeling the virtual reality glasses on, is that experience really so realistic in which she has embodied the character that she characterizes? On the other hand, the girl who plays Aqua, feels full of motivation to explore that new virtual world that is in front of them, while their bodies without consciousness lies with their heads resting on the desk while smoke emanates from them.

After a short time exploring something suddenly surprises them quickly.  It seems that some strange green tentacles fall from the sky and trap them. Haato, who was out of her usual role as Haachama because of the sheer terror she felt at that moment, screamed in surprise, while Aqua was excited by the experience of being caught by tentacles. On the other hand, all the fun ended for Aqua when those tentacles, which held both of her limbs, began to function like marionette strings while forcing them to fight with those swords with which they had appeared in that world. They both quickly realized that the pain they were inflicting involuntarily turned out to be very real to them, as if their bodies actually felt the damage out there. However, this did not prevent those tentacles from continuing to play with them at their pleasure as small puppets, as if they were two eligible characters within a video game and were being controlled by a video game controller through those tentacles.

After what turned out to be several hours for them, finally those tentacles released them and mysteriously ascended to the sky, dropping them on the green grass of the meadows of that virtual world. Both women, tired, thought that perhaps the tentacles have gotten bored of them and that is why they have left them alone for the moment, but then perhaps they should explore the world to find something with which to defend themselves from said tentacles, before they return.  Once they had a little rest, they set out to explore that vast and virgin world for themselves. It was all so… realistic. As if that virtual world corresponded to some real meadow somewhere in the world, something that surprised and at the same time intrigued those two women. However, everything changed when the sun, which was moving normally all that time, stopped and with it, they ended up in suspended animation. Suddenly they realized that their bodies were no longer theirs and that they no longer responded to their control, if not that they had been paralyzed, it seemed as if someone had paused the video game out there.

Everything turned for the worse when a white light quickly blinded them as the world around them disappeared. For some moment in their minds they listened to an unstoppable sequence of clicks while, impressed, they saw how the clothes on their bodies faded and how their bodies began to move by themselves, changed position over and over again by small hands and small triangles that appeared to be cursors. They quickly came to their senses and realized that, in addition to that perhaps it was not a good idea to try that new invention, there is also possibly a person in charge there outside the computer who was playing with them while they lay helpless and immobile in an awkward position trapped. within what looked like an editing program.

Finally Haato and Aqua realized that, perhaps, the legends heard in the hallways of Hololive's office and in the streaming chats could be more than feasible. However, it is too late for them, they think as they pose in a virtual glass cabinet in an abyss full of other small boxes, where various 3D models without life (or perhaps not) in addition to them, or so it seems, lie in an infinite empty in some corner of some hard disk waiting to be used. They have finally been virtually abducted.
