"The connection begins!"

When such a system command voice came out of Luo Zhen's mouth, the game console worn on his head was activated.

The hazy light that came through the closed eyelids disappeared in an instant.

The information received by the optic nerve was blocked, allowing complete darkness to envelop Luo Zhen.

But after a while, a rainbow of light immediately popped up in front of me, and windows popped up one after another in the light.

These windows are all used to determine whether there are nerve signals connected to the upper brain region, and only when all of them are passed can the connection be determined, allowing the player to descend into the imaginary world.

Therefore, one by one, "OK" signs began to flash on the windows, telling Luo Zhen that all the nerves in his brain were successfully connected.

And so, the solemn start-up music began to ring in my ears.

As a result, the feeling of lying on the bed and the feeling of weight began to disappear.

When the last "OK" finally flashed, Luo Zhen appeared in a dark space full of sci-fi style.

"Welcome to the world of ALfheim Online."

A fairly gentle female voice conveys the message of welcome to the game.

Luo Zhen knows what this phenomenon represents.

This is a process that players who are new to the game must go through without a character profile, that is, to create and create a character under the prompts and guidance of the system.

So, at a height equivalent to Luo Zhen's chest, a virtual keyboard with a blue and white glow appeared.

"Please enter your account number and password."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen pondered for a while, and then naturally and quickly entered the account number that he had been using since the SAO period on the virtual keyboard, and clicked confirm.

"Please enter the name and gender of the character."

Without hesitation, Luo Zhen typed the character name "Rozen" on the virtual keyboard and chose a male.

"Please select your race and choose one of the nine races below."

In the sky in front of Luo Zhen, figures appeared one after another.

It was a character image composed of the appearances and characteristics of the nine races in ALO, rotating one after another, waiting for Luo Zhen to choose.

And Luo Zhen's target was right in front of his eyes———— a young man with insect-like pale green wings and blond hair.

That's the image of the wind elves.

Of course, not all wind elves look like this.

All of the player's physiognomy is randomly generated, with only some characteristics being the same, such as fairy-like ears and wings, but the details vary depending on the race.

Like the wind elves, they generally tend to be handsome, the fire elves tend to be rough, the cat demons tend to be cute, and so on, and the color of the wings is different for each race, and the hair color is the same.

Character appearances cannot be modified after spawning, and only a few rare items can meet this requirement unless they are replaced with a paid machine.

Luo Zhen didn't care about how it looked, so he immediately chose the race of wind elves.

"End of Choice."

"Randomly generated character appearances."

"Since you have chosen the race of the Wind Elves, you will be teleported to the capital of the Wind Elves territory."

"Good luck."

With the fall of such a voice, the space around Luo Zhen's body completely lit up.

............

Alpheim.

This is the stage for the next-generation flying type "ALfheim Online", a continent with the meaning of "Elven Country".

Just as the main stage of SAO is the floating city called Ayn Grant, in ALO, Alpheim is the stage in this game.

On this continent, it can be roughly divided into eight regions.

Each region has its own elven race's capital, and each has a special appearance and culture.

For example, in the territory of the wind elves, in addition to the grassland area, there is also a large area of ancient forest, and the territory environment mostly exists in these two types.

The major races then strategized a territory, and on the continent called Alpheim, they attacked and even fought to their heart's content.

This is the world of ALO.

In the capital of the Wind Elf Territory, in a town called Si Yiluban, at this time, many Wind Elves are moving in all corners of the town, some are going back and forth between shops, some are playing and laughing, and some are flying into the sky and scattered in all directions, looking very lively.

As a popular race among the nine races, as the capital of the Wind Elf territory, Si Yiluban has an alias———— "Emerald Capital".

The town as a whole is made up of tall and thin minarets.

There are complex aerial corridors between the towers.

The shades of the town vary from one shade to another, but all of them shimmer with emerald green.

The appearance of these buildings in the night sky can only be described as fantastical, especially the Lord's Pavilion, which sits in the depths, and is as magnificent as any building in Alpheim.

In such a town, in a small area, a figure appeared as a flash of brilliance like a transfer phenomenon in SAO.

It was a boy who looked to be only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but not short, wearing the equipment of the early stage of the wind elves, with a pair of pointed ears and pale green wings, and a brilliant golden hair, and on the outside, he looked more like a scholar than an elf.

Seeing the appearance of this young man, the surrounding wind elves turned their heads one after another.

"There's a newcomer again."

"It looks very handsome, and it's also very intellectual, so I'm really envious."

"yes, I don't know if this appearance is randomly generated or paid for."

"If it's randomly generated, it's worth a lot."

"yes."

People say things like this, but they are not surprised by the appearance of the teenager.

Listening to such a voice, the young man slowly opened his eyes.

If you look closely, the boy's eyes are emerald green.

Glancing around, the boy spoke in amazement.

"Is this ALO?"

It's true that it's a completely different fantasy style from SAO, but compared to SAO, it doesn't feel bad at all.

At least, Luo Zhen can feel the feeling of the clear and majestic breeze, and the touch of the hair swaying slightly in the wind, this feeling is more real than the real world, only SAO can give people such a feeling.

"The game that can be compared to SAO really lives up to its name."

Luo Zhen smiled slightly, then waved his left hand, swiped down from top to bottom, and in a pleasant sound like a bell, he called out the main window of the game.

This aspect of the operation is exactly the same as SAO, except that SAO's action command to call the main window can only be done with the right hand, which in ALO is done with the left hand.

On top of that, the game's main window is designed in exactly the same way as in SAO, with only a few minor differences.

For example, the top layer of the main window shows the familiar name "Rozen" and the race of "Wind Elf", and below is the HP slot, but the level and experience points are missing, and there is an MP slot, which proves that this world is different from SAO, and there is really the possibility of using magic.

The character's ability value is also very simple, and the existing values such as "tendon" and "agility" in SAO cannot be seen at all, which proves that the ability of the character in this world is not so important, and the player's skill is important.

As for the skills...

"This is..."

When Luo Zhen clicked on the skill bar, the scene presented in front of him made him stunned at first, and then he was stunned.
