born from the Department of Defense’s ARPANET. By 1999, the internet is accessible
to most of the world.
Beginning of the 21st Century: Through spread of the network, “Democratization of
Information” occurs. As a result, it becomes difficult to conceal information.
Dictatorships and police states are on the verge of extinction. By the end of the first
five years of the 21st Century, communist dictatorship in East Asia and military states
in the Middle East either disappear from the face of the Earth, or are forced to change
their system of government. However, problems with network hackers attacking host
servers and instigating other internet crimes exponentially increase as they change
their methods of operation and increase the frequency of their attacks.
October 2002: The World Network Council (WNC) is formed under the United Nations
(1). All countries with internet environments are obligated to join the council.
January 2003: WNC Winter General Meeting (2) is held (the first WNC general
meeting). Each country quickly discloses their differences in expectations and difficulty
in making adjustments. It becomes a general meeting that tests the limits of the WNC.
April 2003: Outbreak of the new type of virus, “Hello WNC(3)” occurs. The M Company’
s e-mail program, which held 70% of the market share at the time, is targeted. In the
end, there were over several million reports of damage.
July 2003: WNC Summer General Meeting is held. The main agenda on the table is
the counter-measure against “Hello WNC”. International public opinion opposing this
necessity quickly rises as WNC is unable to reach any decision or take any drastic or
landmark measures.
December 2003: Outbreak of a new type of virus, “Deadly Flash(4)” occurs. Seven
people are dead. The death penalty is ruled for the first time in internet crime history
for the Japanese man who created the virus.
April 2004: WNC Spring General Meeting is held. The Japanese, German, and Italian
delegates propose the concept of “New Generation Hyper Net(5)”, but it is vetoed by
the objections from the United States and China. As a result, only agendas such as
the “Advancement of Research and Investigation of New Type of Viruses,” “Support for
New Development of Security Techniques,” and “Stronger Punishment for Cyber
Crimes such as Hacking and Computer Virus Creations” are voted upon.
August 2004: The host computer of the Swiss Banks is hacked. Losses are reported
to be over 80 billion dollars. A terrorist organization active in the 20th Century claims
responsibility, but the culprit is yet to be apprehended.
January 2005: Stock prices in the New York Stock Exchange repeatedly show high
surges and drops. From a manifesto issued by the culprit, it becomes clear that the
main computers in the Stock Exchange on Wall Street and major securities companies
have been hacked. The culprit is yet to be caught.
Spring-Fall 2005: With the surge in Cyber Crime, the existence of the WNC, which only
displays the slogan of “Support for Security Development” and “Elimination of Cyber
Crimes,” becomes questionable.
December 2005: “Pluto’s Kiss(6)” outbreak occurs. All networks on the globe crash on
December 24th. Almost all computers and communication control systems connected
to the network experience malfunctions, wreaking havoc and chaos over the world.
This day the network that has spread to the far reaches of the globe, “meets death”.
The network recovers 77 minutes after the incident, but inherent dangers such as the
triggering of the United States’ nuclear defense systems and automated counter-strike
program, still loom. The culprit is a 10-year-old grade school student. The
“Democratization of Cyber Crimes” results as a consequence of the “Democratization
of information.”
January 2006: Jim Stonecold, the 44th President of the United States of America,
resigns, taking responsibility for the “Pluto’s Kiss” incident.
WNC Winter General Meeting is held. The proposal of “New Generation Hyper Net”
from 2004 resurfaces and the only OS that evaded the “Pluto’s Kiss,” ALTIMIT(7) is
designated as the universal basic operating system.
Summer 2006: The business OS, “ALTIMIT,” becomes available to the general public.
Also around this time, the core members of the ALTIMIT developing team depart from
the company and establish CyberConnect Corporation.
A German programmer named Harald Horwick brings the network game, “Fragment,” to
CC Corporation.
January 2007: The next generation network system using ALTIMIT spreads across the
world. A communication network volume before the “Pluto’s Kiss” is completed.
ALTIMIT Co. (headquartered in San Francisco,) establishes local subsidiaries in 12
different locations throughout the globe.
May 2007: Testing of the ALTIMIT network game, “Fragment,” begins. After the “Pluto’
s Kiss” incident, all forms of network entertainment are restricted, but this project is
granted special permission from the WNC to be conducted to “invigorate the currently
dead network entertainment markets.”
July 2007: “Fragment” dominates the board for network users. Rumors spread that
“Fragment” is based upon the network epic “Epitaph of Twilight,” which is famous
among certain groups of users.
CC Corporation joins the international stock market.
October 2007: WNC makes an official announcement that as of October 31, nearly
100% of all network servers in the world have been ported to ALTIMIT OS. It is also
announced that all network restrictions will be lifted as of midnight, December 24th
(Network Peace Proclamation.) The United Nations votes to make this day an
international holiday known as “Virgin’s Kiss.”
CC Corporation issues a press release and officially announces the release of the
Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, “The World,” which is also the official
title of the game known as “Fragment.” The release date is almost universal
throughout the globe, with download available beginning at midnight on December
24th, as “Virgin’s Kiss” holiday begins.
First Half of November 2007: Reservation for “The World” begins. 1 million users log in
the first hour. CC Corporation’s total stock value surpasses ALTIMIT Co.
Second Half of November 2007: Rumors of “The World” not being released spreads
among the network community. CC Corporation denies the rumor.
December 24, 2007: “Virgin’s Kiss” arrives. President Alex Coleman announces the
“Network Pease Proclamation” to the world. Download of “The World(8)” commences
