Among the first OS-tan stories to employ a variant of the "real world" setting is OSC user Bella's Linux-tan comic. While most of the characters are OS-tans, humans are featured as well. The setting seems to be largely real-world, with factual settings and people mentioned, and having differences typical to the real world-based theory of OS-tan setting - such as OS-tans possessing magical powers. However, some characteristics were borrowed from the "fantasy culture" theory, like -tans grouping into factions that function largely independent of human society. The relationship between the real world and the world of the OS-tans was not detailed at any length, nor was OS-tan society outside of a few factions (mostly the Unix and Linux-tans). | Among the first OS-tan stories to employ a variant of the "real world" setting is OSC user Bella's Linux-tan comic.

The SAGE-tan chronicles, authored by Stewartsage, is perhaps the story that codified the "real world" theory as we know it today. In it, the setting of the OS-tans is plainly a variant of our own universe - in fact, the only major difference between this OS-tan continuity and the real world appears to be the presence of the OS-tans themselves (and subsequently forms of high-technology and/or magic). The story is set upon a geographically-correct world, with -tans explicitly hailing from real settings and belonging to factual organizations. In many ways it is the antipode of the Annex Project universe: with -tans portrayed as almost human, hardware-tans included, characters being more-or-less true to their real-world time periods and earlier characters not particularly antiquated compared to contemporary ones.

Unique to this continuity is the inclusion of very early computer-tans. | ||
