Chapter 3: The Nightmare and the Beginning of the Legend
---- p.m. 17:25, Ayn Grant Level 1, west of the Town of Beginnings, Boar Plains
Deal with a wild boar next to him with empty hands. That's right, it's a wild boar, the brother and sister happily cut the wild boar for an afternoon, I don't know if it's a bug or not out of the novice range, the brother and sister are still hungry until now. By the way, the two lucky perverts now have 2W+ Keer, and getting so many Keer in the starting town is already considered a local tyrant.
"Well, this world is really amazing, the person who made it is a genius, right, Shiro?" Idling his head to look at his sister.
Bai nodded his little head and said with a happy face: "Yes, this world is really not boring." ”
"That guy Kirito, there were obviously 4 sets of equipment when the test was closed, but he didn't take us with him, but it's just hateful." Sora said as he grinded the back socket.
"Brother, you're really stupid, we haven't been to this world when the closed beta is closed."
"Uh............. Hahaha. Sora touched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Anyway, it's time to go offline and prepare dinner." ”
"Mmmm, I'm also a little hungry, brother, I want to eat dumplings." Shiro stared at the sky with big sparkling eyes, looking at the sky hopefully.
"Okay, okay, I can't help you, who made you my cutest sister. Let's help me. After Sora finished speaking, his right hand clicked on the void, and the system menu popped up, and the system settings - quit the game, "Huh?? Why isn't there a logout button? ”。
Bai heard his brother's voice, and also opened the system menu to look at it. "Could it be a bug? Call the GM to try. ”
"No response, is there any other way to log out?"
"No, unless you force yourself out with your ability, but in that case, you will probably be expelled by the will of this world, after all, we are smuggled here." Bai shook his little head and said.
"Ah, forget it, we won't die if we don't eat anyway, so let's concentrate on enjoying the world of this game."
"Well, that's the only way to do it before the problem is solved." Bai said helplessly.
When~when~when~ a melodious bell rang, and the brother and sister didn't react at the moment, a burst of white light flashed, and they appeared in the square of the Beginning Town, and at the same time, players kept teleporting around them.
Force Teleport ???
"What's wrong, what's going on??" The square grew uproar.
"What the hell is going on!!??"
Panic about the unknown, and all sorts of emotions that don't know what to do are spread among players.
"Shiro, do you know what's going on?" Sora asked with Shiro in his arms and bowed his head.
Shiro didn't speak, but stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky. Sora looked up in the direction of White Finger, where there was a hexagon with "WNRNING" written on it, and it was flashing red.
When no more players teleported, the hexagon quickly turned into a barrier that encircled the entire square. Then a blood-colored goo spilled out of the crack, gradually forming a monster in red wizard robes.
"Players, welcome to my world, my name is Akihiko Kayaba, the only human who can control this world now, I think players should have noticed it, the logout button in the game's main menu is missing." The red monster said.
"Is it here to solve the problem? That's not going to be such fanfare, is it?? Sora looked at Akihiko Kayaba suspiciously.
"However, I want to tell you that it's not a problem with the game, and again, it's not a problem with the game, it's the original premise of Sword Art Online."
"Whoa, whoa? This is really a bold setting, so how do players log out? Sora muttered softly.
"You can't log out of the game on your own, and you can't stop or disarm your NERvGear device in real life, but if you try, the signal elements of your NERvGear device will send out high-energy microwaves that will destroy your brain and stop your life."
"Huh? Is this an outlaw of imprisonment? By the way, you can just unplug it, right? Sora wondered.
"Brother, this is not possible, the NERvGear device has its own backup battery, which can run for up to 10 years without a power supply." Bai said.
"That's not good, if it's for entertainment, the external body dies, and the game will hang up, human beings have reached the limit if they hold on for 5 or 6 days without a supply of nutrients, right?"
Perhaps hearing Sora's question, Kayaba Kizuhiko glanced at Sora. He continued: "Unfortunately, there have been 203 deaths so far caused by the relatives of some players who ignored warnings and forcibly removed NERvGear devices, and these 203 players have left Ayn Grant and the real world forever. ”
After saying that, Akihiko Aoba paused, and his hand swiped in the void, and a large piece of news about SAO appeared in the void.
"As you can see, all the media is constantly reporting on your situation and news about dead players, so the threat of your death due to the forced removal of your NERvGear device is very low. By the way, I have submitted to the government where you live and donated all my family property, so you don't have to worry about physical death due to lack of nutrition. ”
"As for the logout conditions of this game: clear this game, work hard, by the way, I remind you that in the future, all resurrection mechanisms will be canceled in the game, and the moment your HP is reset to zero, your characters will disappear far away, and at the same time, your NERvGear equipment will destroy your brains."
Kizuhiko Kayaba paused for a moment, then said, "I've prepared a gift in your backpack, let's take a look, I hope you like it." ’
Empty opened the backpack and took out the props inside, "Hand mirror?? ”
At the same time, a white light lit up, and the void became a reality. The same white light lit up throughout the square.
"Huh? Why is there realistic data? Sora wondered.
"It's a scan, and the NERvGear device wraps the face with a high-density signal unit, so it can grasp the shape of the face." Bai replied.
"What about height and bones?"
"Didn't there be a calibration step when I first wore the NERvGear device, and I touched my whole body with the device in my hand."
"Wow! My sister is so powerful, she knows so much! "Empty (???)
"It's my brother who is too stupid!!" Bai said with a disgusted face.
"Finally, please try to live in this real and false world, then goodbye everyone." After Akihiko Ikeba finished speaking, he turned into a cloud of fragments and disappeared.
