Half a day has passed...
SwordArtOnline, Sword Art Online developed based on the NERvGear civilian terminal, has been running stably for several hours. Now many players who have logged in to this game continue to be immersed in this new, first large-scale VRMMO fully networked virtual space stealth game developed using advanced technology. And it’s a bit overwhelming!
Although it is already dusk in both the game and reality, most people are still immersed in the gorgeous scenery, beautiful sunsets, novel combat methods, beautiful (handsome) new friends, and all kinds of things in this new 'world'. Among the various magical ways of interaction, there is no telling what the ten thousand lucky people and the thousand 'pioneers' in the closed beta will face.
Boom... boom... boom...
Finally, it was not until the bell on the tower of the novice village (city) quietly rang and spread to the entire city, and then the system teleported all of them back to the huge square where they first logged in, that they Finally came to his senses:
It turns out that all this is really just a game, and so long time has passed before they came back to their senses?
then……
After they came back to their senses, they soon discovered that this game could not be exited?
Then, just when they were hesitant and uneasy, and tens of thousands of people were crowded in the square talking and not knowing what to do, the sky suddenly turned blood red, and then domes made of codes completely enveloped the sky in the square. Then blood dripped from the sky, and a huge GM-like guy appeared high in the sky.
Subconsciously, most people thought it was some operational speech from the developer, so they turned off the option to exit the game and forcibly teleported everyone back to the city?
Of course, some people think that it may be because there is a bug in the game that prevents players from quitting, so the game developers teleport everyone here and prepare to announce some emergency measures and corresponding compensation conditions?
"..."
"..."
"..."
Therefore, people gradually began to quiet down, and looked up at the huge, hooded giant in the sky, towards the guy who seemed to be the real GM, and wanted to hear what the game official said about it. What kind of rhetoric is there?
"Dear players..."
"Welcome to my world!"
"I am the designer of SAO 'Sword Art Online' - Kayaba Akihiko!"
In the sky, the huge giant did not consider the feelings of the thousands of players below at all, and began to speak condescendingly, overlooking all living beings.
"Now, I am the only human being who can control this world..."
"I believe that all players have just noticed that the logout button in the main menu is missing, right?"
"but……"
"I'm telling you, that's not something wrong with the game."
"I repeat, it's not a problem with the game, it's just the way SwordArtOnline was originally designed to play."
"From now on, none of you will be able to log out voluntarily, and outsiders will not be able to stop or assist you in disabling that NERvGear..."
"And if you dare to try it, the high-power microwaves emitted by NERvGear's signal unit will instantly destroy your brain. At that time, you will completely stop all life activities!"
"Regrettably……"
"So far, there have been many cases where some players' relatives and friends have ignored warnings and tried to forcibly remove NERvGear. As a result, two hundred and thirteen players have been permanently removed from our world of Aincrad and the real world. Exited."
Kayaba Akihiko was like an emotionless machine, completely ignoring the life and death of those more than two hundred unlucky players and what a terrifying number that "more than two hundred people" was, and continued to talk to himself.
"Anyway..."
"Everything is irreversible now. I hope you can play the game with peace of mind?"
"However, I hope you will pay attention to the fact that in the future, the original resurrection in the game will be cancelled. The moment your HP is cleared, your characters and lives in the real world will disappear forever!"
"because……"
"NERvGear will directly destroy your brain when you die!"
"Correspondingly, there is only one condition for you to be liberated and return to the real world: beat this game!"
"Now, you are at the bottom of the Aincrad world. As long as you conquer the maze areas on each floor and defeat the defending BOSS, you can enter the upper level. And as long as you defeat the final BOSS on the 100th floor, this game will It will naturally end.”
"..."
"Finally, I gave you some gifts..."
"Everything is over, my purpose has been accomplished, SwordArtOnline will be officially operational from now on, I wish you all good luck?"
Soon, as Kayaba Akihiko completely disappeared in the sky, the place returned to its original dreamlike and beautiful game world.
"..."
"really?"
"No……"
"I do not want!!!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Quick! Let me out!"
"I don't want to play this crappy game, let me get out of here!!"
"Damn it!"
"I have to work the night shift tonight and I'm going to be late!"
"My husband is going to get off work soon, and I haven't made dinner yet!"
"What a crappy game, I will never believe it!"
"I don't want to die, let me out quickly!"
"Let us out..."
"Kayaba Akihiko! My dad is in the heavy blow group, let me out quickly, or you will be dead!!"
"Hello!!"
"Did you hear that?"
"I do not believe……"
"Shut up!"
"What the hell is going on? Why can't you retreat?"
"My logout option is also gone..."
"Find the GM quickly!"
"This must be fake!"
"It must be fake!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Could it be that the game officials are putting on a show for the sake of hype?"
"have no idea……"
"No!"
"End this quickly!"
"..."
The next moment, the whole square suddenly became noisy.
At this moment, players no longer care about experiencing this so-called new virtual space stealth game. They no longer want to stay in this so-called Aincrad world of swords and swords. They just want to return to reality quickly. Go into the world.
But...
No matter how noisy, hysterical, cursed, or they kept trying to contact the outside world, contact GM, complain, call the police, and keep clicking the 'log out' button that had disappeared, it was all to no avail.
The fact before everyone now is: all of them are really trapped in this game. They have no way to contact the outside world and no way to exit. Apart from themselves and their own characters, they have no way to go. Looking for any help!
Of course, not everyone was making noises, cursing, or being hysterical. Among the crowd, there was a little girl looking hatefully towards the sky of Aincrad, towards the place where Kayaba Akihiko disappeared just now. He stared and curled his lips in disdain.
"hateful!"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"I just managed to kill the little BOSS in the wild. Before I could open the treasure chest, that bad guy actually teleported me here?"
(ಠ~ಠ)
That's right, just before she was teleported here, while others were still having fun killing wild boars, Annie had already killed a certain small BOSS in the wild.
"Just wait, they'll open up that broken tower in a few days, and they'll piss you off like a bad guy!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
“We’ll see!!”
ε=(◕ˇεˇ◕｡))) Bah! !
Since the other party prevented her from enjoying the fun of opening the treasure box, little Anne, who was particularly petty and vindictive, decided on the spot: to demolish that hundred-story tower another day and let that guy know that she, Queen Anne, Very powerful.
Saying that, while others, I don't know if it was ten thousand or more gamers here, were still noisy and had not yet accepted the reality, Anne was already holding her iron sword upside down and resentfully Di took the lead and rushed out of the city.
…
Half an hour later, when most of the players in the starting city were still noisy, a certain player named 'Kirito' had already reacted, and after bidding farewell to his friends, he resolutely stepped out. On the road to the next town.
Because he knows that soon, when the players in the starting city come to their senses and have to accept the reality, the monsters in the areas around the town will definitely be hunted out in a short time. Therefore, in order to level up effectively, For the sake of his own life, he felt that he had to become stronger, so he could only make plans early.
He took advantage of the closed beta (banner) he had participated in and took the lead in heading to the next village or town through the safe route he found during the closed beta. Then he was one step ahead of those in the city and occupied that advantageous leveling place, thus achieving Seize resources, become stronger as quickly as possible and clear the maze to the next level, and then leave this game early!
During the closed beta, they reached the seventh level. Those were all known contents, so he, a closed beta player, had to seize the opportunity.
"!!"
"Huh?"
"that is……"
Outside the city, Kirito, who was running on the road, unexpectedly encountered a little girl who was killing wild beasts in the wilderness beside the road.
That was a group of Steppenwolves. While the players in the Starting City were still dealing with those clumsy wild boars, the other party was actually able to dance among the dangerous wolves and kill them wantonly with one person and one sword. That kind of situation , just looking at it from a distance, Kirito was already a little shocked.
You know, even though he and Klein have been practicing for an entire afternoon, they are still only at LV1. Even with their own skills and proficient control of skills, they can still deal with that extremely fast speed at LV1. Steppenwolves with sharp claws and teeth have to be very careful. It is already difficult to win in a one-on-one situation. How can they dare to rush into the wolf pack and kill them alone like their opponent did?
Therefore, unconsciously, he gradually stopped and looked solemnly.
Not long after, when he saw that the little girl had perfectly avoided all the attacks of the wolves, and finally eliminated them all without any damage, and successfully gained a level, Kirito immediately decided to go to the next town. Before that, should we get to know such a powerful player?
"that……"
"Hi~!"
"H-hello?"
So, when he saw the little girl packing up her trophies and preparing to walk away, he stammered and said hello to her.
"???"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Who are you? Do people know you?"
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
Looking at the other person, Annie said that the first one in her friend list was her own game character ID, and then everything else was blank. She obviously didn't know the other person.
"Is such that……"
"My name is Kirito. Excuse me, are you also a beta tester?"
In Kirito's view, such a powerful player was once part of the Wild Boars and now is Steppenwolf. If he said that the opponent was not a beta tester, he might not believe it at first!
"Kirito?"
(^～^;)ゞ
"But, what is a beta tester?"
(°ー°〃)
"..."
"Before the open beta, those players who had grabbed the one thousand spots, got the gaming device NERvGear in advance and accepted the invitation to test the game..."
"Isn't it you?"
Kirito felt a little unbelievable. He couldn't believe that the little girl in front of him who ran to such a dangerous place to level up alone was not a closed beta player.
"no!"
o(´^｀)o
"This is my first time playing today!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
"It's the first time..."
"So what level are you at now?"
To be honest, Kirito still feels a little reluctant to believe that it can perform like this for the first time.
"How many levels?"
(′～`●)
"ah!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"People have forgotten that there are levels. Just wait!"
(“▔□▔)
"Huh? I seem to be at level 7 now!"
(ˆ⌣ˆc)
"!!"
"Level seven, seven?!"
Kirito was shocked. He was still at level 1, but the opponent had already reached level 7...W-Who is the 'Suppressor'?
"yes!"
(*^▽^*)
"It's level seven! Besides, I seem to have forgotten to add some..."
┗(▔,▔)┛
As she spoke, Annie began to add up the points she had obtained after upgrading.
"That……"
"Where are you going now?"
The other party was already at level seven. If they were going to that town like him, Kirito felt that the two of them could go together as a team. That way, the dangerous spots on the road would be easily crushed by the other party's level. If you press it, you don't need to be so careful.
"there!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)☞
"ah!"
"To the north? But the monsters in the north are very strong. Even if you reach level 10 soon, it's best not to go too early?"
After frowning and taking a look at the map, Kirito quickly knew where the little girl was pointing. Therefore, with a serious and responsible attitude, he carefully advised the other party.
"Strong?"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
"Yes!"
Kirito nodded.
"How do you know how strong it is?"
(ー`´ー)
"It's very strong anyway..."
"Because I am a beta tester. I have been there before when I was level 10, but I was killed by a monster there soon. At that time, it was just a test, and you could be resurrected even if you died."
"but now……"
Thinking about the terrible punishment for failure now, Kirito couldn't help but shudder and didn't know what to say.
"Is it like this?"
(ಠ~ಠ)
"That's easy to handle. Go there now! People like those kind of super powerful monsters!"
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Hehe!
"!!"
"Didn't you hear what that madman said?"
"You can't be resurrected if you die!"
Seeing that the little girl still insisted on going, Kirito couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Nonsense!"
๑乛◡乛๑
"I won't die! Those monsters will never touch me!"
(¬◡¬)✧
In fact, it doesn't matter even if the game character dies. Anyway, Annie herself is not wearing the so-called NERvGear game helmet at all, so some bad guy will definitely not be able to burn her brain!
Moreover, even if she let the bad guy burn it, it would definitely not be burned.
"Can't touch it?"
"You mean..."
"Are you still avoiding everything now?"
His eyes widened in disbelief, and Kirito exclaimed as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Of course!"
(^_−)☆
"you……"
"how did you do it?"
If the other party has any skills, Kirito is obviously willing to learn them.
"That's a simple answer!"
o(´︶`)o
"Just watch the movements of those stupid monsters clearly and avoid them in advance!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"..."
Put lightly!
Obviously, Kirito didn't believe the other party's lies. He just subconsciously thought that the other party was unwilling to reveal his skills.
"I won't tell you anymore. That's the north, right? I've gone to fight those powerful monsters. Goodbye, Uncle Kirin!"
ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~
After saying that, little Annie looked to the west and then to the north. She felt that the steppenwolves in the west were a little weak, so she decided to go north to fight the more powerful monsters.
"Uncle?!"
"hateful!"
"Hey, you haven't said your name yet!"
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Kirito hurriedly shouted, and wanted to add the other party as his friend.
"..."
(￢д￢.)
"You are too weak, people refuse to tell you their names!"
୧(‾◡◝)୨ꔛ♩
After looking at the other party with disdain, Annie quickly ran away with her little broken iron sword, and quickly disappeared at the end of the wilderness path to the north. Obviously she did not intend to interact with the trumpet named Tongren. friend.
"!!"
You are too weak, too weak, too weak, too...
The echo rang in Tongren's ears, making him feel like he was struck by thunder, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
You know, he is a sealer. While others are still wailing, cursing or complaining about that information, he is already on his way to a new village, and he is a Steppenwolf that can only be dealt with by ordinary people at level three. He can kill alone at LV1, so where is he weak?
"never mind!"
"In short, we can't lag too far behind that guy. We should hurry to that village, and then seize the monster resources and upgrade them before others come!"
"I will definitely go back alive!"
"Most definitely!"
After cheering himself up secretly in his heart, Kirito said nothing more and resolutely ran towards the west along the road.
Not long after the two separated, the sky in the world of Aincrad gradually turned dark, and in the distance, in the starting city, there were now at least more than 10,000 players, including the beta testers. Stranded in the city.
