Note: Because of the timeline, Shen Yun's appearance will be later. Let's start with the plot of Poison Island Tsuneko.

The dazzling streamer passed through his eyes, and he finally managed to open his eyes.

The view was replaced by a different landscape.

It's a little unfamiliar, but it's getting more and more exciting. Because, this is the place where you can get power.

In the square where the pillars of light were lit one after another, a girl with an ordinary face had a look that was different from others.

"But what's next?"

Unfortunately, this was actually the first time that Tsuko Poison Island 'played a game'. The school I attended before, too, and the dojo inherited by Poison Island Stream didn't have any equipment and knowledge that could be accessed at all.

"Anyway, the only thing that left an impression was. ”

In the past, there were boys in the class who got together to play games on a small screen, and that content was - hunting.

The hunting of aliens, the fight of giant beasts, and the fight between humans.

"I see. ”

Almost out laughing out loud, Poison Island Tsuneko swept his eyes around and looked at everything around him.

Crowds of people gathered and laughter abounded. He smiled and said.

"Isn't it right here, prey? ”

Well, it's good to have a goal that you can start at any time. But at the same time, you must also consider your own safety.

Although there are not only a large number of people here, but the vigilance is lax. If it's just one or two, you can still kill it by grasping the blind spot, and what you should consider is the consequences. But killing only one or two would be too much of a struggle.

"Yo, is Miss alone? If you can, would you like to form a team together? ”

An unfamiliar man appeared in front of him, saying so while operating the system interface and sending out an invitation to form a team.

Well, Poison Island couldn't help but raise her eyes. Speaking of which, this situation is not unprecedented, as if I always met my kind classmates and juniors in middle school. Of course, in the past, let alone agreeing to other people's invitations, there was no one who could even speak well in front of her. Even teachers can feel nervous from time to time.

So, the reason why it is so honored now. I'm afraid it's because of the personal image choice of that character to build the interface. Now I am just an ordinary girl who is a little cute in the eyes of others.

"Yes, that's how it should be. ”

With that, the outstretched finger clicked in agreement on the selection screen.

Teamwork is successful. A temporary 'team' logo has been added to the character screen, and the names of the same group members have been added. The man's name was - Ti Aberu

"What's next? Is it going to be hunting? ”

Poison Island said and looked at the exit of the square, and someone had already started to act.

"Nope. ”

Tiabero seemed confident and confident.

"If you go out now, the monster spawn points outside the city should be full. But the tasks in the town are rarely noticed. Let's go over and wait for a few rare quests before we go to farming. ”

The man in front of him seemed to have some unrealistic illusions about himself, but he would not waver in the slightest.

The pupils covered by bangs are different from the previous black, and after a period of adaptation, this height and center of gravity have been well mastered.

In this way, I was reminded of the conversation before I decided to step into this 'death game'.

I'm sorry, Shen Jun. But silently being protected by you can't be accepted in any way, as a reward for pulling me out of that world. I want to leave you something too.

That's the only thing I can do, and thank you, Daintellen. Although you have only been together for a short time, you are a very nice person. If I can go back alive, I really want to stay with you forever. By the way, there's the artificial angel.

"To do this, I need to be stronger. ”

"Hmm? What did you just say, Poison Island. ”

Ti Aiberu glanced back, and saw that Poison Island was cold, and he had no intention of talking at all, so he had no choice but to continue to lead the way.

'Sword Art Online' was launched at 13:00 in the real world, and after the first batch of players, two or three hundred people logged in one after another. Then, at 17:00, the trend of increasing was finally stopped. And in the course of four hours, Tiabero led the Tsunako through the entire town of the Beginning. Accepted and completed several Starter Quests to obtain the combat skills of 'One-Handed Sword' and 'Physical Technique', which can be loaded into the two skill slots of the initial player character.

"Ah, how do you feel like the task has become harder. Obviously, it should be simpler during the internal test. ”

Tiaiberu continued to lead the Tsuiko towards the field refining point, complaining casually.

"Then again, the surname Poison Island is quite rare. Where did Poison Island Sauce come from?"

Knock-knock-knock

The sudden, dull sound of the bell interrupted Tiabero's speech, accompanied by a series of flickering blue fires around him. The same color also appears at the line of sight.

"This is, 'forced transfer'. ”

In the end, Poison Island only had time to hear this last sentence from Tiabero, who was engulfed in flames.

The field of vision shifts, and the intense light stimulates the eyeballs. By the time I opened my eyes again, it was already a different place.

Very familiar, come to the first place you see in this world - the central teleportation area.

Events, plots, but no matter what, I can't stay here.

Tsukiko Poison Island judged the current situation to be 'dangerous' and chose to evacuate.

But as soon as I got out of the central area and wanted to go out, I found that I was stopped by a red warning sign that was 'impassable'.

At the same time, the sky seemed to be eroded by blood. It's red.

The plasma is viscous and oozes out of the visible blood color, and coalesces into a clump. Finally, take on a human form.

In other words, it is nothing more than the 'Grim Reaper' whose face is similar to that of a human being.

"Fellow players, welcome to my world. My name is Akihiko Kayaba. ”

It spoke, and said its name in a calm tone. The so-called 'truth' was also revealed.

"I'm the only one in control of the world right now, and I'm sure you've noticed that the exit button has disappeared from the main menu. However, it's not like there's something wrong with the game itself. Again, this is not a glitch. It's what 'Sword Art Online' is. ”

"In the future, players will be able to withdraw from the game on their own, and the 'NERvGear' will not be artificially stopped or discontinued. If any attempt is made to do so, the powerful microwaves emitted by the 'NERvGeard' signaling elements will destroy the player's brain and stop your life activities. ”

Now, quite a few players have tried to navigate through the menu or get out of the square, but to no avail.

Akihiko Kayaba continued.

"There are many examples of attempts to forcibly disarm 'NERvGear' at the moment, and the consequences of this. A total of 213 players have retired from Ayn Grant and the real world forever. ”

At the end of the discourse there was no longer any meaning, and at this point no one was given the ridiculous idea that this was just an official spoof. Akihiko Kayaba continued.

"As a result, the likelihood of 'NERvGear' being forcibly removed is quite low. I implore you to focus on the game's strategy. However, it is important to note that all means of resurrection will be ineffective in the future. When your HP reaches zero, your character will disappear forever. Meanwhile. ”

"Your brains will be destroyed by 'NERvGear'. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was obvious that the dull air in the square was completely frozen. So people have an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"There is only one condition for you to be liberated, and that is to completely attack the game. Now you are at the lowest level, the first level. Raid each labyrinth floor, and if you defeat the boss of the floor, you can ascend to the next floor. Defeating the boss on the 100th floor is a complete strategy. ”

And then, at the end. You have a gift in your inventory, so please check it out. ”

For a moment, all players open their inventories. Remove the props from it.

The name is - Holding a Mirror.

The little one can only look in the mirror of his face, but although the people around him have done this, he has not made any moves. Didn't even do it to confirm the inventory.

But the light still appeared and shone on the face.

Of course, the same story is repeated in many places. And it's all in hidden corners that go unnoticed.

The light of that moment was like creating a sun on the earth, and it waited until the light was gone. It's already a different picture.

"It's really, troublesome. ”

Looking at the reflection in the mirror that appeared in her hand at some point, she felt more and more troubled.

"Now you must have a question in your mind as to why Kihiko Kayaba, the developer of 'Sword Art Online' and 'NERvGear', did this. My purpose has been accomplished, to create the world and to see it. I created 'Sword Art Online' for this purpose, and that's it. ”

"At this point, the instructions before the launch of the 'Sword Art Online' server have all ended. Good luck. ”

After saying this, the figure of the Grim Reaper disappeared. The blood-colored sky gradually changed back to its original state.

But no one is relaxed and happy at the moment, so people's hearts seem to stay at the moment when they are still occupied by the blood-colored sky.

Because that's why everyone knows.

The real hell has just begun.
