Chapter 4: The Game of Death Begins
"You're going to keep it for us? How do you stay? Argo asked, confused.
"SAO was created by me and Brother Jingyan, and I still have this ability." Ginryukan replied.
"Well, you're the younger brother of Akihiko Kayaba who never showed up?" Kirito said in surprise.
"Yes, Brother Jingyan said that I still don't want to be too showy, so he didn't let me show up. Anyway, I'm just here to help Brother Jingyan complete the world he's been longing for, so it doesn't matter if he shows up or not. Yin Liuyan said with an indifferent attitude.
"You're still hiding so deeply, you haven't missed a little bit for so long." The corners of Argo's mouth twitched slightly.
"Hawkers, it's nothing special, let's talk first, I'll go offline first to help Brother Jingyan prepare for the suit, and I'll see you in a month." After saying that, Yin Liuyan went offline.
"Brother Jingyan, how are the preparations, is there anything else to change?" Ginryukan took off his helmet and asked Kayaba Kizuhiko on the side.
"It's nothing, it's just that there are a few bosses whose data needs to be changed, you can take a look first, and we'll start when it's over."
"Okay, then I'll take a look first, Brother Jingyan, you are busy first."
"Guys, here we go, this week's MMO St

eγ This cross-generational, high-profile VRMMORPG was jointly developed by Mr. Kayaba and his younger brother, who never showed up, and since the closed beta ended a month ago, it is finally about to officially go live. The first batch of helmets and games was only 10,000 copies, and it was an exaggeration to hear that some people had been queuing up since three days ago in order to buy the SAO game. There is still one minute before SAO is officially launched, and I believe that players will not be disappointed. β
Listening to this report about SAO on this computer, Yin Liuyan smiled, "I will definitely not disappoint you." Li

βLi

"Ayn Grant, I'm back." Yin Liuyan read softly, "Let's see if Kirito is online first." Yin Liuyan opened the list and clicked on the message bar of Kirito, "Kirito, you should be online, right, what about people?" β
"Wow, you've really kept it, you can go out into the wild first, I'm fighting a manic boar with a new friend. Right in the West End, where we first met. β
"Wait for me." After replying to Kirito, Ginryukin strode towards Kirito's location.
On the other side, "Kirito, who are you messaging for?" A man with long red hair who looked like a down-and-out samurai asked Kirito.
"Ah, it's a friend from the closed beta.,It's the younger brother of Akihiko Kayaba.,He saved the information of his friends during the closed beta.,He's coming to us.γ
"Oh, is it the other person who developed SAO, I really want to get to know it?"
"Yes, he'll be here in a moment, and you should be friends."
When he came to the west area on the first floor, he saw Kirito and another player fighting a wild boar, and the other player was hit by a wild boar because he didn't grasp the essentials well.
"Yo, Kirito, you're still wearing the same system face as you did during the closed beta." Ginryukin teased Kirito.
"'It's too troublesome to pinch your face or something, and you might as well get into the game early if you have that kind of kung fu.'
Hearing the conversation between the two, the red-haired player who was screaming after being hit by a wild boar also came over. "You're Kirito's friend, that Kayaba Akihiko's younger brother, my name is Klein, please advise." Klein held out his right hand.
"Hello, my name is Yinruyan, Kirito, your new friend has a good personality, and he's quite familiar." Silverware also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Klein's right hand.
"Klein, I don't think you're good at fighting, do you want me to teach you, I taught Kirito."
"Oh, of course, please teach me."
"Hey, don't kick me aside when you come."
"Ahahahaha." On the grassland in the western district, there was a burst of laughter.
Before you know it, it's evening. "Hawkers, it's not early, it's time for me to go offline for dinner, the pizza I ordered is still waiting for me, see you in the evening, Kirito, Yinruyan." As he spoke, Klein swiped open the game menu and prepared to go offline.
"Huh, why not?" Klein was surprised to find that there was no logout option in the entire game menu.
"What?" Kirito hurriedly drew out his game menu, "Mine doesn't have either." β
"No, I remember that there were no bugs when I tested it before." Yin Liuyan also opened his game menu, "Look, isn't the logout button here?" β
"But we really don't, so there won't really be a bug.
"Wait a minute, I'll try it with manager privileges and see what went wrong." Yin Liuyan also realized the seriousness of the matter, "If this is not handled well, it will make SAO's reputation plummet." β
Just when Yin Liuyan opened the manager interface. Suddenly, a bell from the town of initiation entered the ears of the three of them, and then the three of them appeared directly in the square of the town of initiation.
"It's, forced transfer!" Yin Liuyan was surprised.
"What is the situation of Yinliu, what kind of activity is it?" Klein was a little curious.
"No, I didn't plan any events at all, I felt something bad was going to happen." Yin Liuyan's brows were tightly locked, and his voice was a little uneasy.
"Hey, hey, don't scare me." Klein hurriedly said, "I'm very timid. β
At this time, above the square of the Beginning Town, on the bottom of the second layer, a layer of bright red checkered patterns appeared without any warning.
In the gaps of these checkered patterns, huge droplets of blood, rather viscous, began to drip from them.
It's just that the blood droplets did not drip on the ground, but gathered in mid-air.
It wasn't long before a crimson cloak nearly twenty meters tall appeared.
Yes.
It's the cloak.
There is no body inside, and there is no face in the position of the head, showing a hollow, without any flesh and blood, not even the front end of the cuffs has an arm sticking out, and some are just pure white gloves, as if an invisible person has put these clothes on, exuding an ominous aura all over the body, which is very uncomfortable.
The next second, a magnetic voice came from inside the cloak.
"Welcome to my world."
"Brother Jingyan!" Hearing this voice, Yin Liuyan was very surprised.
The red cloak introduced itself in an emotionless voice.
"I'm Akihiko Kayaba, I'm sure everyone here knows me, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the players in the entire square were stunned. An uproar ensued.
Akihiko Kayaba?
This name is a name that everyone who plays this game knows.
Because......
"I'm the game Sword Art Online (SWO

"Quantum physicist and electronics engineer and game designer Akihiko Kayaba."
"Now, this improvised virtual body that appears in front of you is me."
The man who called himself Akihiko Kayaba introduced himself in such a voiceless voice that everyone lost their voices.
As if to break the unusual silence of the scene, Kayaba spoke again.
"I think you've noticed that the logout button has disappeared from the main menu, right?"
Kayaba Akihiko said this.
"Don't worry, it's not like there's something wrong with the game, it's just that it's designed.
Akihiko Kayaba's words made all the players present stunned, unable to understand the meaning of this sentence smoothly with their heads. The same goes for the Silver Rites.
"What the hell is going on?" Yin Liuyan thought blankly.
There is only one thing that can be understood.
That's what Akihiko Aoba explained next.
"To put it simply, from today onwards, you will all be inhabitants of this world, and you will not be able to leave here."
Akihiko Kayaba dropped a blockbuster **. Let everyone be blown away.
"Unless you can fully tackle the game and reach the top of Ayn Grant, you'll be here forever."
