The world of Sword Art Online is essentially a near-future world where major breakthroughs in neural connectivity technology have been made.

The time is 2022 AD.

Except for being able to consciously enter the virtual world of the Internet (imaginary space), the real world is basically not much different from the world of Makino's previous life.

The moment Makino stepped into the world of swords, he stepped into the "examination room" where he was transferred from a temporary worker to a full-time worker.

Just like in the real world, you can't bring a mobile phone or other device to the exam room.

The moment Makino stepped into the examination room, he felt an inexplicable law imposed on him.

So much so that it makes Makino feel like he has fallen from a god to a mortal!

Not only was the physical power limited, but even the soul power was weakened to a rather weak level.

I have to say that this feeling is very bad, and it makes Makino very uncomfortable.

But.

Makino also knows that this is a hurdle that must be passed.

After passing the test, it is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and it will usher in the transformation of the life level.

If the world of swords is the examination room, then the garden of the gods is the examination table exclusive to Makino.

Inside the courtyard, a set of examination equipment also appeared directly - a streamlined helmet that could completely cover the head and face.

The helmet is colored in silver gray, with a variety of interfaces and indicator lights, and at a glance it looks like a sense of technology.

The name of the helmet is [NERvGear], which allows the wearer's brain to enter the imaginary space created by [NERDLES].

This technique is called "complete stealth".

The so-called "Sword Art Online" world generally refers to the online virtual world built by the "large-scale virtual reality online role-playing game Sword Art Online [SAO]".

The specific stage is a 100-story giant rock and steel floating castle called [Ayn Grant].

In this floating castle, reality and fantasy are perfectly blended, the towns, streets, houses, flowers and trees, blue sky and white clouds, and gurgling water are all extremely realistic and realistic.

But.

In reality, it is full of wonderful fantasies that reality does not have.

Wild boars, flying dragons, summoned beasts, sword skills, and western-style towns even give people the feeling of traveling to another world.

And the environmental theme of each floor is different, and the various wonderful views are even beyond the real world.

It's an unimaginable visual treat!

Fight monsters, level up, fight, break levels, compete, ...... All kinds of traditional games are cool and fun, everything is needed!

The ultimate goal is to find the staircase to the upper floor, defeat the boss at the top of each floor, and progress to the top.

This game also boldly excludes [magic], which has always been considered a necessary element in fantasy adventure games, and replaces it with [sword skills], which is set to be a near-infinite number of special moves.

The reason for this, according to the game company, is that players want to use their bodies and fight with their own swords, and experience the greatest charm of a completely stealthy environment.

In addition to battles, there are also manufacturing games such as smelting, leather crafting, and tailoring.

There are also daily skills such as fishing, cooking, and music.

Players can enjoy the adventure in the vast area and live in it.

You can even buy your own house in it according to your personal wishes.

There's even a marriage system, where both parties can share each other's gaming gear and possessions after marriage.

In conclusion, SAO has a variety of gameplay options that are suitable for gaming groups of all ages.

[The assessment has officially begun, please wear a game helmet.] 】

Accompanied by the mechanical and electronic sound from the system, Makino did not hesitate, and immediately put the game helmet on his head.

With the sound of "link-start", Makino felt that thousands of light lines of different colors appeared in front of him.

Then, you will enter the login settings, game area (Japanese server), game ID, face pinching, appearance, clothing, weapon selection, etc.

For Makino, it was an exam, and it should have been very stressful.

However, after this whole set of login game operations, Makino is inevitably excited.

In his previous life, when Makino was looking at swords, a perennial question was when the real world would be able to play a complete stealth game like Sword Art Online.

Although VR technology comes out from time to time to show off its presence, it is not at the same level as a complete stealth game like a sword.

When looking at swords, one of the biggest regrets is that I probably won't have the opportunity to play this kind of completely stealth game in my life.

Makino didn't expect that his regret would be made up for because of an assessment.

Even though it was an exam, Makino's mood was still excited, and he seemed to have found some of the touches he had been.

Seeing the various game settings, Makino thought about it and immediately gave himself a name called "Makino".

The so-called "Makino" is actually the Japanese romanization of the kanji "Makino".

As for pinching his face, Makino directly chose to give up.

Anyway, as soon as this game opens, there is a famous "large-scale makeup removal scene", and there is no point in pinching your face or something.

As for the costumes, there aren't really many options for opening.

They are all Western fantasy style "cloth clothes" given by the system, except for some differences in style, they will not add any attributes.

In the end, Makino chose a set of clothes that resembled a medieval knight.

As for weapons, Makino naturally chose to use a "sword".

Here I have to mention the setting of the strange "sword" of the Sword Art Online world.

In the world of swords, "sword" refers to all kinds of cold weapons, such as guns, sticks, clubs, axes, scimitars, and meteor hammers...... can be counted as a sword.

The sword chosen by Makino is a sword in the traditional sense.

However, the initial equipment uniformly distributed by the system, naturally it can't be expected to be good, it is just an ordinary iron sword.

After everything was set up, Makino only felt that his eyes lit up.

After a dazzling white light, Makino felt his feet on the solid ground, and the surrounding lights continued to light up one after another that belonged to the characters.

Most of them have clear eyebrows, handsome men, beautiful women, and the clothes on their bodies are also full of bells and whistles, and even their hair colors are completely different.

Obviously, these are the looks of the players after pinching their faces.

After a little look, Makino saw that almost 90% of the players were so handsome and handsome that they exploded, and a score of 100 was too low.

Obviously, every player knows that I may be mediocre in reality, but in the game I can be handsome (beautiful) in the sky.

It's like, in reality, I'm submissive, but on the Internet I'm punching hard.

Of course, there are also some alternative bizarre shapes.

Obviously, this category is all about attracting people's attention.

"Is this the world of SAO? Cruel! ”

"Finally waited for the game to start, and every time I heard about those closed beta players' various shows of superiority, I almost cried!"

"The Town of Beginnings, this is the Town of Initiation of Ayn Grant, woo, it's so real, I'm really touched to be able to play this kind of game in my lifetime!"

"Down-to-earth and steady, and the coolness of the breeze...... It's so realistic! ”

"Roar, where is the floor boss? Do you dare to show the blood bar? ”

"I won't sleep tonight, the decisive battle will be fateful!"

“......”

The players who came in one after another chattered, and each one was extremely excited, full of excitement.

There are even a lot of people dancing and screaming excitedly!

Seeing those excited players, Makino couldn't help but smile slightly.

This is the power of the Fourth Scourge, where it passes, not a single grass grows, and where it walks, there are thousands of miles of ruins.

As long as you dare to show the blood bar, even a god will kill you!

It's a pity that the game of SAO is not a joke.

When you meet Akihiko Hayba, an unparticular guy, the fourth natural disaster is destined to plant a big heel!

Perhaps, when talking about the word "game" in the future, it may have a psychological shadow.

At this moment, Makino glanced at it in a hurry, but saw a guy wearing cloth clothes, cloth armor, and an iron sword on his back, running straight out of the town.

The purpose is very clear.,It's definitely a closed beta player.。

Is that him?

That guy who doesn't show off his blood and can't show off? (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
