I think I kinda know why.
“what?”
These incidents happen wherever YOU go.
“...”
I know that you made that monstrosity of a computer very well.
By now you’d already figured that we’re living in a simulated universe,
that the laws of physics are broken.
“Why you telling me this?”
What in the world have you done?
"Hi, this is Javi, Javi is broken."

Javi time-travels to the very moment the metaverse started breaking down.
Javi finds the malfunctioning system and downloads the error log files. But the data was corrupted.
This corrupted data gets tangled with normal datas in Javi's memory system, corrupting them too.
To stop the entire memory system from being ruined, firewall system within him activates.
The corrupted datas are compressed, shattered and scattered out of Javi, across the entire metaverse.
To fix the metaverse, Javi should recollect all 108 pieces of data and restore them to identify the problem.
"Hi, this is Javi, I'm on a hangglider, call me later."

“Hello, Javi speaking. I can’t take your phone call now. That’s maybe because I’m in the different dimension.
As you know this world is broken, so I ran away. I don’t know when I’ll be back there.
I’ll be out to find what broke this world this bad. Thank you.”
