The basis of quantum mechanics is observation.
Events in the Metaverse are all digitized.
However, the data's information can only be observed by transcending time and space through quantum teleportation.
For this purpose, [OBSERVATION EQUIPMENT] is prepared in front of us.
Framed as a multi-generational Sci-Fi tale, the Digital Metaverse takes the classic themes of the power struggle of humans versus technology and twists them into their own unique narrative. After the apocalypse on Earth, humanity finds shelter within a virtual space called The Metaverse, where a new struggle unfolds between the programs at its core and the remnants of humanity's anger toward the forces that ended the world.
We recommend reading the Digital Metaverse Label if you like dense Sci-Fi stories with a large ensemble cast and multiple story vignettes within one overall setting. We also recommend reading it if you have intent to read the Surface Metaverse Label, since some of the characters and concepts directly cross over.
Even if this Label's core story has concluded, it still continues to have dedicated fans worldwide, and is widely beloved.
This Label is a novel format story. Meaning, if you read a character's episodes from later in the story chronologically, it probably won't make much sense. We highly advise that you do not read characters' stories as a one-shot.
Some early character stories are somewhat detached from the main narrative, and may seem to not affect things much—this is because some characters and their stories exist more for the sake of world-building, and to set up in-universe rules that come into play later. We encourage you to not skip anything. There's important information to be found!
Most characters here are currently untranslated. Characters with [TBA] next to their name are untranslated, and will be added in future updates.
The Digital Metaverse is our next priority after catching up with the Surface Metaverse. Translations for these characters are highly requested, and we intend to translate them soon. However, many popular characters are scattered around various parts of the timeline, and we want to avoid translating out of order where we can.
Batts of the translation team has a summary doc of many of the earlier characters/events of the Digital Metaverse! You can read it here. This summary can help new fans that are interested in this Label while we work on the Surface Metaverse, since the Metaverse Labels tend to machine-translate poorly.
Characters are presented in chronological order by game update, and placed in sections by game version and CD soundtrack release.

The Metaverse, the vessel that accelerates the evolution of humanity, deepens the chaos by repeating the creation and destruction of the world.
All that remains of the origin of the now-fragmented world are the records of the primordial god who brought about disaster and a handful of singularities.
The history of the people who created the Metaverse and broke with God, the existence of God who sought order and ideals, and the servants of chaos born in the depths of the electrons.
This is the story of a battle over the eternal space and time between humans, who created gods, and gods, who judge humans.
Analyze all worlds and see where they lead. Observe the future that doesn't yet exist.

The Metaverse, a quantum world full of infinite possibilities from people's dreams. Amid the accelerated spacetime, a chaotic, ever-expanding quantum array creates and destroys countless new worlds, leaving a vast electronic sea.
Observers—Faint fragments of data at the Metaverse's periphery.
Having once existed to detect inconsistencies in new worlds, they turned themselves to shining discs and returned to the mainframe, their routines complete.
This incredibly simple process of retro-programming was far inferior to evolution, and for a very long time, no purpose was found for their circular remains. Across the ages, it was discovered by chance that their photosensitive material contained faint records of battles of creation and destruction with agents of chaos.
This is yet another record obtained by analyzing an Observer—those tiny remnants of spinning light from the quantum world of dreams.

Humans, those who devoured their own planet and committed every manner of atrocity, came to fear their own downfall, and sought the possibility of evolution through harmony instead of conflict. Thus a quantum world was created, where the seeds of hope for harmony were entrusted to the distant future...the Metaverse.
This world, supported by twelve administrative pillars born from a godly ancestor, was a second utopia for the people, but programs created by humans also bore the weight of humanity's misdeeds—and history would once more repeat itself. The ark of evolution that headed for a destination called harmony grew distorted from fleeting glory at the hands of the supreme ruler of storms.
Hidden potential blossoms from the will to live.
When the order and chaos of humanity come together, a power is unleashed that can turn the world to nothingness. Thus, the signposts of history fall from the hands of false gods.
This is a tale of humans who strove to set foot on the earth once more.

The temporary paradise created by the supreme ruler of storms fell to ruin. The gods who controlled order were consumed by hateful flames born from a world of chaos. A world of order and chaos, a world of strife retracing the course of human history.
Wielding a taboo power, those who fell from the gods' utopia sought to return to resist their own destruction.
As they leapt into the chaotic sky on glistening wings, they witnessed the battle between destroyers, clad in flames of rage, and administrators, clad in the calm light of order.
We are the legitimate successors of humankind...
"Good" and "evil" lose meaning when faced with past history. The war waged by humankind, the rulers of the earth, is not yet over. Those who desperately wish to live are swept away in the flow, robbed of their wishes and left to die in despair.
When the end someday arrives, will it all be saved, or destroyed?
This is a tale of the struggles of those who simply wanted to live.

The Metaverse, a miniature garden of a world created to entrust a wish for harmony to the seeds of the distant future. Those in power feared that their own conduct had caused the Earth's ruin, and wished to be judged by a God that managed humanity. Thus they tried to wash their sins away, and be reborn as ideal people created by God.
The oppressed, robbed of their hope and granted only despair, wished for a free world, not a future created for them by authority, and dove into battle to create a true human race that transcended false gods.
Ideal people born from order, and those strong and exalted by chaos... The unconsciousness their ancestors hoped for, incomplete, yet reaching their hands to one another. The threads of fate shine a light on their hazy, indefinite souls.
Humanity will surely return to the surface someday...
The great Tact with which humans retook their world from God's hands bears a girl's soulful name, and it shall lead the people back to reality.
In the final world, born at the end of it all, humanity set their sights on the land where all their stories began.
This is a tale of the girls who severed the oldest threads of fate.
