How to Play[edit]
Load Emblem
Loading is a technique by which you summon your own Lives data into DT and gather power in the PC Body used within DT.
Text over image: Is it really that easy!?
- Grandload = 100% Summon.
Emblem Pattern is fully activated.
Removes the various limiters.
- Download = 50% Summon.
Emblem Pattern appears.
- Ordinary Mode = 0% Summon.
In this mode, you move using the subprogram provided by DT.
Telyb: DT gives you an intense speed boost when you’re virtualized, so your actual Lives couldn’t survive the heat consumption.
That’s why your Lives data is store in a central layer when you enter the city. The PC Body created from that is a false body that you resonance control using a subprogram provided by the DT OS.
Loading temporarily summons your Lives into DT when you need to do something beyond the subprogram’s abilities.
Plus & Minus. Concepts known among the people involved in the virtual world.
Plus (Life, Reality, Harmony)
The power to perceive the truth in reality.
Minus (Death, Fiction, Noise)
The power to perceive the truth in fiction.
Everyone has the powers of reality and fiction, plus and minus, life and death, harmony and noise, but people who have far more of one side over the other are known as Plus Elites and Minus Elites.

Board & Sight
Board Mode and Sight Mode are the two ways of perceiving the world in DT.
Board Mode: Hearing, vision, and other sensory programs are displayed as text.
Sight Mode: Sensory programs are constantly running to display everything just like the real world.
Fooblicky: Board Mode is a high-speed chat mode where generally only conversations and thoughts are displayed. This only reduces the amount of data being received compared to Sight Moe, so the world is still in motion around you even though you can only see the text.
Sight Mode is a mode where everything is displayed just like it is in the real world. The only problem is that it eats up energy fast.
World[edit]
Emblem Pattern
DT’s OS has given everyone an emblem to match their personality as a medium for their summoned Lives when using a Download or Grandload.
- Aoe’s Emblem Pattern: Black Belt
Summons the Lives of his arms. Removes the upper limit on his striking power.
- Yuo’s Emblem Pattern: Wish Bringer
Summons the Lives of her speech organs. Removes the upper limit to her voice.
- Algo and Alternative’s Joint Emblem Pattern: Sudden Strike
Summons the Lives of their arms and sensory ability. Removes the upper limit on their precision high-speed strikes.
- Telyb and Fooblicky’s Joint Emblem Pattern: Balance of Power
Summons the Lives of their strength and focus. Removes the upper limit on their precision decisiveness.
DT Map
After virtualization, the data was rearranged to surround the city in an endlessly looping region of water. By throwing out its old form as an industrial city, you could call this New DT.
Top red dot: Royal Palace
Upper right red dot: Yard HQ
Middle red dot: Amusement Park – White Castle
Bottom left red dot: South Park
Bottom red dot: Babel
Yuo: DT was virtually locked down by the Word Bomb detonation in ’45. It was opened back up afterwards, but the residents abandoned the city.
Then researchers limited the virtual boosting to only 100x and it was rebuilt as an experimental city for summoning a great god. The old industrial city, a symbol of the Plus, was removed and it was remade into the kind of medieval place seen in video games.
That is why DT is now known as a false city.
This Month’s Newcomer!![edit]
Mahjong City DT
Let’s keep the city’s coming!
Top left: The latest entry in the City Series is DT, a city where everything is solved with Mahjong Lives.
Fight hard! And strip when you lose! Wait, what’s going on here?
Left red text: Introducing an exciting new character!
Right red text: Don’t make a fuss when you win! Or when you lose!
Yuo: I win!
Rosetta: What do I do, Lady Beretta?
Behind Yuo’s Score: Suanko of the Beast
Bottom text:
In this game, your girlfriend betrayed you and left you in great debt, you lost your parents, your friend is trying to kill you over a misunderstanding, and you were kind of bummed out about the whole thing, so you start training in the Supersonic Fist and (snip) but that’s just how it starts.
The rules are simple. Other than the fact that you need to pray to the boss of each stage and hit them with a good “hiyah!”, it’s a stylish mahjong game that uses the standard 6 buttons and bomber-style gameplay with a focus on bullet dodging.
Only five days remain until the wedding arranged by the enemy leader, so you have that long to avenge your father and save (snip)!
Oh, and this is all a joke, so don’t take it seriously.
◀This is the new character.
