It's been almost half a month since SAO death gamification.

Just like the original plot, people in reality have no way to take this game that will 'kill' people, and there are still players who die every day.

It's just that compared with the original 2,000 people who died in a month, after having the first layer of the strategy book provided by a closed beta player who was unwilling to reveal his identity, according to incomplete statistics in the past half a month, the number of deaths has not even exceeded the 300 mark.

It seems that Yuki is just an act to be able to make himself feel at ease.,Inadvertently recycled a lot of people's lunches.。

And because of this strategy, the adaptation period of novice players to this world has been shortened a lot, and the speed of the first layer of the strategy is much faster than the original, and the prejudice against closed beta players is not so deep.

It's also worth mentioning that nearly a quarter of the players decided to stay in the "Beginning Town", while the remaining three-quarters formed various groups and began to attack the floating city.

Everyone has the right to choose, and sometimes choosing to give up is also a way of survival.

Although as long as you accumulate experience points to level up, monsters are actually not so scary.

……

- The first floor of "Ayn Grant", deep in the labyrinth area.

After more than ten days of leveling, when most people were still cautiously following the steps, Yuki's level had reached the limit of what the first layer could upgrade.

So after completing her supplies in the town of "Torbana", not far from the labyrinth area, she finally arrived here again after passing through the forest and swampy area.

The room where the boss is located on the first floor.

The current Yuki is level 15, and the level of the game that can be safely raided is the number of floors plus level 10.

In order to finalize one thing, she did not team up with anyone, but came here alone.

(Whether the so-called consciousness can transcend the system, let me try it.) ）

Looking at the gate in front of her, which she had seen countless times during the beta period because of the 'rehearsal', the black-haired girl pulled out her one-handed straight sword.

……

(Speaking of which, Kirito and Asuna met in the quest on the Raiders floor, right?) ）

(I just don't know if they will have a chance to team up if the first layer is attacked by me.) ）

(And Asuna's words...... Hah, the 'preparations' I put in the real world are almost effective, right? ）

Before the strategy began, thinking of everything he had set up with his hacking skills before entering the game, Yuki showed a rare happy smile.

It's just that now she doesn't know that even if she doesn't attack the first layer of the boss, Kirito and Asuna won't have a chance to team up.

Because......

**********************************************************************************************

Looking at this empty room, coming here again after more than three months made Yuki feel quite emotional.

The moment he stepped into the gate realm, the originally dim room was instantly lit up, and the boss sitting on the throne jumped down from above, and roared at the intruder with its three-headed guard.

- "Lllfang The Kobold Lord", that's the name of the boss of the guard.

The huge figure equipped with a giant axe and round shield contrasts sharply with the thin and petite raider, and even the inadvertent contempt in the boss's eyes can be seen.

For ordinary players, it is almost impossible to single out the boss at this stage.

That's right, for the 'average gamer'.

(One against four?) It's really an unfavorable situation. ）

(But-)

The ends of his hair were covered with golden particles, his dark pupils were gradually dyed with a slight pink, and his slightly petite body raised his head and smiled fearlessly.

"Whether or not your huge body has acquired the strength to match it, let me confirm it again!"

(Isn't it possible to tackle bosses alone?) Not necessarily...... ）

- "Change"!

……

On November 19, 2022, the first layer of the boss was broken half a month earlier than the original world line.

And when the players found out that the boss room had been breached and the second floor had been opened, it was already a day later.

No one knows exactly what happened to the first layer of boss raids.

Well, maybe you can't say 'no one'.

But even if he did, he wouldn't be able to understand what was going on, except that he was more interested in the limits of human consciousness.

If the stiffness caused by the attack in battle can be explained by skill, but the 'eleven combo' that pierces the boss at the end is not the "sword skill" skill originally designed by SAO at all.

Maybe in the end, it can only be temporarily classified as an "imaginary world" with infinite possibilities, isn't it?

But at the very least, all the players are thanking the guy who overcame the first level of the boss.

Because she sent a message to everyone with her actions.

This game can be cleared.

***********************************************************************************************************************

—November 20, 2022, in the real world, in the office building of RECT Manufacturing Company.

Now that the SAO incident is gradually fermenting, more and more countries and media have begun to pay attention to this unprecedented murder of game kidnapping players.

And while everyone's attention is focused on the game developer, Akihiko Kayaba, most of the websites suddenly start to spread that the mastermind behind the scenes is a classmate who is jealous of Akihiko Kayaba's talent.

A man named Shinyuki Sugo.

As a large number of corroborated archives and insider information have been exposed, there are growing calls for official action.

In this sensitive period, because the source of the IP of the person who came from the walk was not found, the police had to launch an efficient review of it in the midst of strong public opinion.

……

"Mr. Suxiang, we are from the Metropolitan Police Department, because we have received reports from the masses that you are involved in the recent game murder incident, I hope you can come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

Holding the ID in his hand in front of a stunned Sugo Nobuyuki, the uniformed police officers swarmed up under the command of the leader, and pressed the seemingly polite man to the ground.

“…… Bastard! What are you going to do! Ahh

The man who finally reacted began to resist constantly, cursing in his mouth, showing his ugliness.

"Take it away!"

……

At the end of November of the same year, the Metropolitan Police Department released the results of the investigation to the media and the general public.

Although no investigation has been conducted to find a direct connection between the suspect and the SAO incident, Nobuyuki Sugo has been arrested by the procuratorate for illegal embezzlement of public funds, secretly manufacturing prohibited instruments, and suspicion of human experiments.

Even after being imprisoned in prison, this man couldn't figure out where the plan that he had just begun to prepare was leaked.

……

Well, now that the sinister nature of a certain clown is known, it is better to strangle him before he acts.
