Kayaba Akihiko, male, quantum physics author and genius game designer.
At this moment, he was watching the people sitting in his laboratory fall into silence.
He received funding from a mysterious person many years ago, owned this laboratory, and created the world of his dreams.
Although, he didn't know the true identity of the mysterious man.
However, there was an existence that could come to him easily and without any hindrance.
It must be unusual.
"Who are you?" Kayaba Akihiko asked.
Sitting on his lab table was a teenager.
He has black hair with slightly curly hair, a white bandage wrapped around his right eye, a pale complexion, and a delicate and childish appearance.
"My name is Shuji Tsushima."
"I'm your partner." The young man introduced himself with a smile.
"Partner...that mysterious person...is you?!" Kayaba Akihiko, who was obsessed with research, didn't know Tsushima Shuji.
He was just shocked at the age of the mysterious man.
If Tsushima Shuji was the mysterious person who invested in him back then...
How old was Tsushima Shuji back then...
"No, the mysterious person who initially invested with you was my uncle." The young man lowered his eyes in despair.
"But he's dead."
"Before he died, he told me that the game you designed was a gift he prepared for me."
"Because of an idea I had when I was young."
"I want a real game." The young man said in a light tone.
This is certainly not the case.
at least……
That one is not dead, he is still alive and well.
However, the past that Tsushima Shuji mentioned did exist.
When he was a child, he mentioned it once out of boredom after clearing a certain game.
"I really want to play the legendary Sword Art Online..."
"A game of death."
"It must be more interesting than these."
The young Tsushima Shuji said expressionlessly.
then……
Kayaba Akihiko appeared in this world.
Naturally, the game he designed appeared.
Of course, the young Shujima Tsujima said that and then put everything behind him.
But Kayaba Akihiko is still working hard to design his game.
I am always waiting for Tsushima Shuji to pass the time when he is bored and thinks about Sword Art Online again.
"...Your uncle is so kind to you." Kayaba Akihiko said with a hint of embarrassment.
His mysterious investor is actually dead.
It was quite a pleasure to work with the other party.
After all, if you need money, give money, and if you need people, give people.
Without saying a word, without hesitation.
Even though the other party was dead according to what the boy said, Kayaba Akihiko's research did not encounter any resistance.
There should still be a steady supply of resources.
But……
This gift...
Maybe it will bring death to the boy.
Kayaba Akihiko thought to himself.
What he is playing is not a game that can be played casually...
To die in the game is to die for real.
If that mysterious man knew this, he would probably live with regrets.
pity……
Kayaba Akihiko won't stop his plans.
So he smiled and began to introduce the game he designed.
* "I live to create that city, that world that transcends all the frameworks and regulations of the real world..."
"That world..."
"It's SAO's world - Aincrad." Kayaba Akihiko introduced with an almost obsessed expression.
"Can I try it out?" Shuji Tsushima asked.
"...Of course." Kayaba Akihiko looked strange, but still replied.
"I am preparing to find a group of pioneer players to experience it after a while."
"Then the game will be officially released." Kayaba Akihiko said.
"Of course, you can realize it before anyone else..." He said, picked up a helmet from the experimental table and handed it to Tsushima Shuji.
Then he also put on a helmet.
"Want to go and see it together? The world I created." Kayaba Akihiko invited.
"Okay." The young man agreed without hesitation.
Put on a hat.
[Sword Art Online--]
[Connection starts——]
Shuji Tsushima and Akihiko Kayaba appear in the world of Aincrad.
"The first level, the starting street..."
"This tower has a hundred floors in total, and each floor has a different gatekeeper..."
"Only after defeating the gatekeeper on one level can you enter the next level..."
"After defeating the boss on the 100th floor, the game is cleared."
Kayaba Akihiko introduced this world seriously.
When he turned around, he saw Tsushima Shuji already playing with the wild boar on the roadside.
Sitting on the back of a wild boar and being tossed around.
Kayaba Akihiko:......
He watched as the boy was knocked off his feet by the wild boar and fell to the ground.
"Ah...you don't feel any pain?" He sat up and asked, touching his head.
"You can set the pain level." Kayaba Akihiko waved his hand to deal with the wild boar and said to Tsushima Shuji.
“Just open your panel and set it up.”
Of course, when the official game starts...
The pain sensation is all 100% and cannot be changed.
Shuji Tsushima found the panel, and the column for pain was filled up silently.
"100% pain sensation? Are you sure?" Kayaba Akihiko sounded surprised.
There is a big difference between taking the initiative to adjust and being forced to experience it.
"certainly."
"Only pain can represent reality~" the young man said casually.
"If you die in the game, will reality also die?" He looked at Kayaba Akihiko expectantly and asked.
"...Of course not. How is it possible? It's just a game." Kayaba Akihiko smiled and said perfunctorily.
Of course he couldn't let the other party know that this was a game that would kill people.
Otherwise, how can we successfully release the game?
"Hey... what a pity." Tsushima Shuji said dejectedly.
"We are GMs now, equivalent to game managers..."
"Can the equipment also be changed?"
"Can you arrange for me to be the gatekeeper boss?" The boy's questions seemed endless.
"You want to be the gatekeeper boss?" Kayaba Akihiko looked at him strangely.
"Rather than being an ordinary player who fights monsters and upgrades, it is more suitable for me to directly become a full-level boss~" Shujima Tsushima said confidently.
"It's all been designed, I'm afraid it won't work." Kayaba Akihiko thought about it, but still rejected the other party.
One more uncertain factor is not enough.
"Then how are you going to release it?" Shuji Tsushima asked.
"Is it only released in China? How many players will it have?"
"I think your game should be promoted to the whole world." The young man praised sincerely.
How can there be only 10,000 players in the country?
Of course there is no limit, it is a game played by millions of people.
Isn’t Sword Art Online worth it?
There are countless players from various countries in the main god space.
Turning Sword Art Online into a scale similar to the main god space...
How wonderful.
By the way, this can also be used to select reserve members for the organization.
Shuji Tsushima rubbed his chin and thought.
Sword Art Online is the first level of assessment, right? Spirituality.
And the second level of the game...
Let’s talk about it then.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
ps: Will Sword Art Online be launched globally?
Except for China (don’t ask, you can’t get in if you ask), when the country can finally introduce it, news of death gamification will come out.
So the world began to destroy Sword Art Online helmet login devices.
No new players enter, and all old players are trapped inside and unable to get out.
The original game only had 10,000 players trapped, which was a bit too little (bushi)
