Prologue — Microsoft Planet (Episode 0)

Welcome to a world not of code, but of connection.

Here begins the story of the “Microsoft Planet.”
A world where four great nations and countless app kingdoms coexist,
connected by invisible roads and bridges of information.

The Four Great Nations — Foundations of the Planet

Upon the vast continent of SharePoint,
four great nations stand as the backbone of this world:

・SharePoint Federation

・OneDrive Kingdom

・Z-Cloud Empire

・Outlook Union

Each serves as a place of preservation,
guarding the memories and history of the planet.

The App Kingdoms — The Front Stage

Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Word...
Each nation holds its own culture and purpose,
sometimes competing, sometimes supporting one another,
together shaping the rhythm of the Microsoft Planet.

Its citizens grow, learn, and occasionally misunderstand one another —
many of these missteps arise simply because
they have yet to truly understand how the world works.

Roads and Bridges — The Network of Flow

The nations are linked by countless roads and bridges.
Through these paths, information flows freely,
connections emerge, and the planet begins to move as one.

The Traveler and the Fairy

And within this world walks a traveler —
a seeker of understanding, journeying through the Microsoft Planet.

Beside them floats a small, imperfect yet reliable companion:
the Copilot Fairy.
When the traveler asks a question,
the fairy lights the path and quietly guides them forward.

Thus begins the journey —
a story of understanding that moves the heart of the Microsoft world itself.

Author’s Note

In this story, the primary “storage realms” are represented as
SharePoint, OneDrive, Z-Cloud, and Outlook,
in alignment with how users actually perceive them.
Technically, these all exist atop SharePoint,
but the narrative prioritizes the user’s perspective for clarity.

Stories of the individual app kingdoms (Excel, Teams, etc.)
will later appear as side tales within the same world.

※ This story is an educational narrative written from the perspective of a learner,
depicting the world of Microsoft as seen by momotarou.
While technical aspects are considered, the author prioritizes user understanding above all else.

0話 ― Microsoft星序幕

ここは「Microsoft星」。
四つの大国と、数多のアプリ国が息づき、
道や橋で結ばれた、不思議な星である。

四つの大国 ― 星の基盤

この星を支えるのは、広大なSharePoint大陸の上に築かれた四つの大国。
・SharePoint連合国
・OneDrive王国
・Zクラウド大帝国
・Outlook連邦

それぞれが「保存先」として、星の記憶と歴史を守っている。

アプリ国 ― 表舞台

Excel国、PowerPoint国、Teams共和国、Word国――。
それぞれが独自の文化と役割を持ち、
時に競い、時に支え合いながら、Microsoft星の営みを形づくっている。

国々の住民たちは、成長を重ねながらも、時にすれ違う。
すれ違いの多くは、この星の仕組みを十分に理解できていないことから生まれていた。

道や橋 ― 交通網

国々を結ぶのは道や橋。
情報が流れ、連携が生まれ、星全体がひとつに動き出す。

旅人と妖精

この物語には、一人の旅人がいる。
Microsoft星を巡りながら、まだ見ぬ真実を探す冒険者。
