And it was last translated into English on July 10, 2024 at 01:02.

This chapter is inspired by:
"No Man's Sky", which is a science fiction game with adventure elements.
Developed and published by independent studio "Hello Games".
It was released on August 9, 2016, for PlayStation 4 and August 12 for computers.
Players are free to explore an entire, procedurally generated universe.
Which includes about 18 quintillion planets, all of them with their own flora and fauna.

It was a Saturday, February 29, 2020, at seven in the morning.
Littletato and Júlia already had breakfast, they were in the computer room.
Júlia was on her laptop, and Littletato was on her desktop computer.
Since January of this year, Júlia has been teaching Littletato how to draw digitally.
She liked a lot learning how to draw line art with Júlia, and became very creative.
Littletato was drawing an anime girl with an orange cat on her lap, in the program "Paint Tool SAI".
The girl was already halfway through the drawing, and was very happy with the result.
She had already made the lines and contours of the drawing, and was in the painting part.
In the painting part, there are many details such as shadows and lights.
The girl in the drawing had blonde hair and blue eyes, and resembled Ana, Littletato's mother, but Ana had green eyes.
Littletato was listening to a music playlist of the "Future Bounce" genre on YouTube Music, while drawing.
She liked that genre a lot, it was very fun and lively, and at the same time calm and light.




Júlia was listening to music too, on the "Spotify" application for computers.
Where you could listen to songs for free, but have to listen to ads now and then, or pay for an ad-free plan.
She was listening to a music playlist of the "Future Bass" genre, very cute and kawaii, and very relaxing.
The girl was also chatting with her friends on Messenger, the Facebook messaging and chat section.
And also on Discord, talking with several friends that she likes a lot, even though they are virtual friends.
Discord is a free voice-over IP and textual communication app, and was initially designed for gaming communities.
But several people from other groups and communities started using Discord, becoming a broad social network.
There, Júlia was on various servers, which were like large groups with several chat rooms.
She was on servers of her favorite games, such as "Don't Starve", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)", and "Project Zomboid".
Several of Júlia's virtual friends also liked art, they either drew or wrote stories.
And Júlia loved talking about art with them, and also sharing her new drawings.

After a few minutes, Littletato finished her drawing of the anime girl.
Júlia was playing the game "Project Zomboid" in single-player mode, it was seven and a half in the morning.
It is a survival and zombie apocalypse game, which Júlia finds very fun and deep.
In it, you can search for survival items and weapons in desolate cities, with no humans, only zombies.
And you can also create your own base inside houses, or build your own house with wooden walls.
Júlia loved that game, and the creative freedom it gave her, allowing her to create specific characters.
And also create their stories, including writing in diaries and notebooks that exist within the game.
Littletato turned to Júlia and caught her attention.
"Hey love, I finished that drawing I was making, what do you think?" asked Littletato, showing the screen of Paint Tool SAI to Júlia.
Júlia then paused the game and turned to Littletato in her gaming chair.
"Hmm... The drawing is very beautiful love!
I liked it a lot, you learned so much, hehe," replied Júlia, smiling at Littletato.
"Ah, thank you love, I'm happy you liked it," said Littletato, smiling.
"And I like the way you organize your layers and folders, it's very organized, hihi," continued Júlia.
"Hehe, thank you very much honey, I like being organized.
And thanks for teaching me how to draw during all this time," said Littletato, happy.
"You're welcome honey," replied Júlia, smiling, and then returning to her game.
Then Littletato posted her new drawing on her new Deviant Art account, which she had created in January.
The girl also used Discord, and had sent the link to her new drawing to her friends who liked art.
Some of her friends liked her new drawing a lot, and thought it was very beautiful, praising her.
She also had a Discord server, where she posted her creations and photos, and her friends could see them.
Júlia was on the server too, she was an administrator, and liked to post her creations in her section of the server.
Littletato also used Twitter, a social network where you can post and read tweets of various famous and influential people.
You can also comment, favorite, and repost a tweet for other people to see, and chat via direct messages.
The girl posted her new drawings there too, to get views and favorites on the social network and Deviant Art.
After a few minutes, there were already several views on both posts, and also some favorites.
Littletato was happy that they liked her cute drawing.
She does not need the approval of others to be proud of her art, but compliments make her happy.

Then, after a few hours of daylight, it was ten hours and twenty minutes at night.
The girls spent the day together, playing on their computers, sometimes alone, and sometimes together.
They went to the supermarket together, to buy delicious things to eat, and also rice, beans, and soda.
They also watched cool series on Netflix, like "The Walking Dead", and ate the delicious things they bought.
The girls also rode their bikes around the city, went to the park, drank sugarcane juice, and ate fried pastries.
After this busy day, the girls were tired, they already had dinner, showered, and went to sleep.
They slept soundly on the cool night, covered with the blanket, spooning each other.
The girls were so connected physically and mentally, that they began to have a dream together.
Júlia and Littletato were on an icy blue planet, with a lot of snow on its surface.
There were alien animals there, they seemed to have a lot of fur to protect themselves from the cold.
The girls were shivering, hugging themselves, and breathing out white air, they wanted to find somewhere warm.
They found the planet strange, not even the coldest places on planet Earth came close.
Littletato was curious to know more and more about life on the planet.
She and Júlia wore an Exosuit, which was like an astronaut suit and covered the whole body.
The Exosuit gave them an inventory to store things, a Life Support system, and a Hazard Protection system.
It protected them from planetary hazards, dangerous flora, and hostile fauna.
The system protected the user from extreme heat, cold, toxicity, or radiation.
Sentinels were intergalactic police officers who protected planets from space pirates and other intelligent and dangerous beings.
The Exosuit came equipped with a jetpack, allowing the user to float for a few minutes.
There was a strange creature near the girls, it had a humanoid form.
Its head was a screen showing a symbol, which was supposed to be its face.
Littletato did not understand much of what the creature was saying, but Júlia did.
But when the creature said "Tetracovix" as it placed the hand on its chest, Littletato understood that it was its name.

"Hey love, I think I understand a little of the language it is speaking.
Its language and species name is called Korvax, they have no defined gender.
And it is welcoming us to the planet Ramenses B," said Júlia to Littletato.
"Wow, how cool love, where did you learn all that?" asked Littletato, curious.
"I learned it from some knowledge stones that are here on the planet.
When you touch it, it teaches you a word in the language of the most present intelligent species in this solar system.
And well love, Tetracovix is also telling us that this planet is very cold and dangerous.
And that we should have an upgrade called Thermic Layer on our Hazard Protection system.
It says it saw us shivering from the cold, and it is going to give us this upgrade for free.
We just need to go to its house, which is next door," replied Júlia.
"I see, this is very interesting my love, so let's go there to get the upgrade," said Littletato, smiling.
Júlia thanked Tetracovix for its hospitality and education, all in the Korvax language.
Then the girls accompanied the Korvax to its house, and got the upgrades for the Exosuit with it.
Júlia thanked it in the Korvax language, it emitted a happy sound, with its facial expression changing.
They installed the two Thermic Layer upgrades on a technology slot on their Exosuits.
After that, they left the house and started walking around the planet.
The girls noticed that they had a multi-tool, it could mine ores and gems.
It also could modify the terrain and fight against aliens with a strong laser beam.
Júlia and Littletato's Life Support system was low on energy.
It continuously filters and pumps breathable oxygen to the heart of the user.
The girls needed oxygen in its pure form to recharge their systems.
Then Júlia used her scanner to look for things that contained oxygen.

She found some red plants and walked to them with Littletato.
"Hey honey, is your life support system low on energy?
If so, you can get this plant that will give you oxygen to recharge it," explained Júlia.
"It is honey.
Really? Good to know, hihi," said Littletato.
Then both girls collected the fruit of the plant and recharged their Life Support systems to the maximum.
They also recharged their Hazard Protection systems with Sodium they got from some yellow plants.
The Exosuit collected organic matter and processed it to collect its base elements.
The girls walked further and found a crashed spaceship on the ground.
Littletato managed to repair the spaceship's systems with some elements she had in her inventory.
The spaceship door opened and Littletato and Júlia entered inside.
"Welcome back, Júlia and Littletato," said a female robotic voice from inside the spaceship.
It appeared to be the artificial intelligence system that controlled the spaceship's systems.
"How strange love... I don't remember us taking a spaceship...
I just remember us exploring the planet," explained Littletato, confused.
"I don't remember either love, very strange...
Maybe Tetracovix transferred the ownership of a spare spaceship from it to us.
Because I saw a spaceship parked near its house," said Júlia, also confused.
"Yeah, that must be it love, well, I've never flown a spaceship before, hehe, it should be fun," said Littletato, putting her hands on the control sticks.
The spaceship had two seats, one in front of the other, and did not have much freedom of movement to the sides.

Littletato pressed a button that appeared to be the spaceship's startup button.
The spaceship turned on, and four screens that displayed important information were activated.
Littletato looked at the first screen on the left.
It showed the name of the solar system where the spaceship was, along with a radar.
The second screen showed the spaceship's speed, measured in U's per second.
There was also a hologram between the four screens, which showed the map of the solar system in 3D.
It showed the spaceship in the center as an arrow.
And also interesting points in the solar system, like planets, the star, and space stations.
But as Júlia and Littletato were inside of a planet, the system map did not show anything much useful.
The map of the solar system did not show any text or pictures, just icons of different shapes and colors.
The third screen showed the name of Littletato and Júlia's spaceship, which was called "Radiant Pillar BC1".
It showed a hologram of the spaceship's silhouette in white, slowly rotating.
And it also showed the condition of the spaceship's shield.
The fourth screen showed the name of the currently selected weapon, as well as its energy.
The Photon Cannon was the currently selected weapon, and it could also be used to mine asteroids in space.






The spaceship had two control sticks in the center of it, where the steering wheel of a car would be.
The left control stick could be pulled forward or backward, to control the spaceship's acceleration.
And the right control stick controlled the spaceship's wings, changing the vertical direction or pitch.
It also changed the lateral direction or roll of the spaceship.
The right control stick had a red button in the middle to shoot with the currently selected weapon.
Near the left stick, there was a red button that was used to make the spaceship take off or land.
And next to the right stick, there was the button that Littletato pressed to start the spaceship.




Littletato then pressed the lift-off button on the left and the spaceship lifted off.
She pulled the right stick to the right, rotating the spaceship 360 degrees.
The spaceship's nose was aimed at an animal on the planet, and Littletato accidentally pressed the fire button.
A photon laser was shot at the animal, killing it.
"Oops," said Littletato, worried, looking at the animal.
Then a Sentinel appeared near the spaceship, scanning it with a blue light.
The Sentinel's eye and its scanning light turned red.
It looked like they had committed a planetary crime and there was a wanted level there.
Littletato pulled the left stick forward and began flying around the planet, trying to escape the Sentinel.
The Sentinels were like planetary police officers, who tried to protect the less intelligent species from other species.
Always trying to maintain harmony on the planet, and punishing intelligent species that killed innocent animals.
Littletato pointed the spaceship's nose upward by pulling the right stick back.
Then she pulled the left stick forward, and the spaceship began to accelerate, passing through the atmosphere, and leaving the planet.
Júlia and Littletato had arrived in space, they thought it was beautiful there, full of stars, planets, and the star of the solar system.
They could see the big planets of various shapes, colors, and types, and they were happy to visit space.
Littletato used the spaceship's scanner to obtain more information about the solar system.
It was called "Irangbi VI", and it had three stars, one yellow, one green, and one purple, it was a ternary system.
The solar system was in the Euclid galaxy, which was a galaxy with several unique solar systems.
Littletato could send information about the galaxy, solar system, and planets to an information bank of the entity "Atlas".
She would gain nanite clusters, which was a rare form of currency in the universe.
Nanites could be used to purchase upgrades for spaceships, exosuits, and multi-tools.
The most common type of currency was units, which could be used to purchase new spaceships, multi-tools, and raw resources.

Littletato began piloting the spaceship around the solar system, looking at the different planets.
She looked at the spaceship's inventory, she noticed that the Launch Thruster and Pulse Engine were low on energy.
Then she pointed the spaceship at a cluster of asteroids, shooting at them.
The asteroids had the elements necessary to recharge the spaceship's two technologies.
"This game is very cool!" said Littletato, excited as she fired the lasers.
"Wait, are we in a game, love?" asked Júlia in doubt, confused.
"Ah... I think so love.
It's just that everything we've been through so far reminded me of a game I played last month, about space exploration," explained Littletato.
"I understand honey, how interesting, and curious, hehe.
Can we go to another planet?" asked Júlia.
"Of course honey, what kind of planet do you want?" asked Littletato, looking back.
"A very warm one, I was starting to freeze on that planet we were on..." said Júlia, hugging herself.
"Okay love," said Littletato, who recharged the Launch Thruster.
She also recharged the Pulse Engine, and continued flying through the system.
Littletato scanned the solar system again, and found a hot planet called "Baalic".
She piloted the spaceship there, entered its atmosphere, and began flying around the planet.
After some time flying, Littletato found a planetary base.
A blue circle appeared near the base, blinking, indicating a parking spot.
Littletato then pointed the spaceship's nose at the indicated point using the right stick.
The circle turned green, and Littletato pressed the landing button on the left and landed the spaceship.
Júlia and Littletato started walking around the planet, looking for cool things to do.

The girls found a crashed spaceship with smoke and a robotic terminal next to it, emitting a distress signal.
Júlia interacted with the machine and read its log, which was in the girls' language.
The log said that some space pirates shot at this spaceship and destroyed it.
They were trying to steal rare plants that the spaceship contained, to sell.
Júlia discovered that the pilot managed to escape the pirates while racing around the planet.
The pilot also found a deposit of very rare minerals, such as gold and platinum.
He found some elements to recharge protection devices.
And also various useful materials to build upgrades for the Exosuit, multi-tool, and the spaceship.
Júlia could see the location of the mineral deposit on her Analysis Visor, which was on the helmet of the Exosuit.
Then she explained everything she read and learned to Littletato.
"Do you want to go to the mineral deposit, my love?" asked Júlia.
"Yes, let's go love, there must be a lot of good stuff for us to mine," replied Littletato.
Júlia saw a small animal near them and thought it was very cute.
She analyzed him with her Analysis Visor and gave him the name "Fufu", uploading her discovery to the Atlas database.
By analyzing the animal, Júlia discovered what he liked to eat, so she gave him food.
Fufu got happy and wagged his tail to Júlia and Littletato, smiling.
"Aww, how cute!
Can we bring him with us love?" asked Júlia, happy with her new little pet.
"Of course love, hehe," replied Littletato, smiling.
Then Júlia caressed Fufu, giving him to Littletato to hold.
"Take good care of him, love, because I'll pilot the ship now, hehe," said Júlia.
"Okay love, good luck," said Littletato.
Then Júlia went to the pilot's seat, and Littletato went to the back seat, holding Fufu.
Júlia began to pilot the spaceship towards the mineral deposit.
The girls already had the Terrain Manipulator upgrade on their multi-tools.
This upgrade allowed them to manipulate the terrain however they wanted, and also collect the minerals from the deposit.
Littletato was thinking about repairing the crashed spaceship for Júlia to pilot.
Then the girls stayed dreaming the fun dream and spending time together.
They continued to sleep hugging each other in the cold night, happy to be together.
