Time passed slowly –

The beginning of the game of death has finally arrived!

With a soft sound of 'dang', the picture in front of Lu Qing's eyes was distorted.

Lu Qing, who was lying in the grass, turned into a pile of mosaics and disappeared.

This phenomenon is not just happening to Lu Qing alone.

All players who enter SAO turn into mosaics and disappear in place.

The huge central square of the starting town

Nearly 10,000 players were forcibly teleported here, and they all looked at the players around them who were also teleported with shocked eyes.

Some players even looked terrified because they had discovered something terrible.

The logout option for the game is gone!

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE PLAYER ENTERS THE GAME BY 'FULL STEALTH', SO AS TO CONNECT TO THE IMAGINARY SPACE CREATED BY NERDLES, THAT IS, THE GAME WORLD.

When the player enters full stealth, they create a state of separation from reality.

No matter how the player moves in the game, the real body will not change.

And after the consciousness enters the game, it will also be completely undisturbed by reality.

This state is complete stealth.

If the logout option disappears, the player will be asked to exit the game via the force logout button on the game device.

Otherwise, the player's mind will be trapped in the game world forever.

In the real world, players will be turned into vegetative beings.

"What's going on?"

"Is there any activity in the game?"

"Why is the logout option missing?"

"There is a sense of foreboding in my heart!"

Nearly 10,000 players crowded the square, looking around and talking, with different expressions on their faces.

Most players have a hint of panic and confusion on their faces.

Only a small number of players remained calm, silently standing in place and observing the situation around them.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the sky above.

The entire sky seemed to be neatly divided into countless pieces, and streams of blood-colored liquid continued to overflow from the cracks in the middle of each piece.

The sky was rendered blood-red in an instant, and the atmosphere of terror began to spread.

Almost all of the players looked up at the blood-colored sky with fear in their eyes.

With wide eyes, no one dared to act rashly.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden change.

Surprisingly, the spilled blood-red liquid did not fall, but continued to gather in the sky above.

A blood-colored mass of liquid grew in size, as if something was squirming inside.

More than ten seconds later

The liquid of blood vanished, and a huge figure appeared in the air, facing all the players.

However, after all, it was just a figure, and what appeared in front of everyone seemed to be a person wearing a black robe.

There was no face, and the inside of the hat was pitch black.

It's like in a horror movie where death or the devil is attached to clothes.

"Administrator?!"

Looking at the black robe in the sky, Kirito in the crowd looked surprised, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

In another place, Lu Qing looked at the black robe in the sky above, knowing that this was created by Kayaba Jinghiko, his expression did not change, he just stood in place and watched quietly.

"Welcome to my world, players!"

Kayaba Akihiko opened his hands, and his voice reached the ears of everyone present:

"My name is Akihiko Kayaba, and now I am the only human ...... who can control this world."

Akihiko Kayaba's voice fell, and all the players were stunned, after all, no player in his name didn't know.

"I believe some players have noticed that the logout button in the main menu is gone, which is not a mistake in the game, but the original gameplay of SAO......"

Akihiko Kayaba's voice sounded again, just like in the anime, to tell the player what kind of situation they were in.

Can't log out of the game!

Once forcibly logged out, the brain of the real body will be burned by the powerful microwave released by the NERvGear device.

The consequence of forcibly logging out is death!

Fear, panic, despair –

All kinds of negative emotions spread among the players, and the whole square set off a stormy wave.

As if to add credibility to the words, Akihiko Kayaba also showed the reality of the situation to all players.

News reports, online videos, and death reports of players who forcibly log out because they didn't believe his warnings.

There was an uproar!

At this time, even those who no longer want to believe believe believe in their hearts believe it.

The atmosphere of despair and fear grew stronger.

After plunging the player into a hell of despair, Kizuhiko Kayaba tells everyone about the hope of survival.

SAO is divided into 100 floors, and each floor has a floor main boss.

In order to get to the upper floor, you must find the floor master to defeat it in order to enter the upper floor through the stairs.

And if the player wants to log out of the game, he must attack all the floor masters.

Only after clearing the 100th floor can all players log out of SAO.

However, despair did not stop.

Ignoring the player's fear and despair, Akihiko Kayaba continued, in a flat tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you die in the game, you will also die in reality, which means that you only have one life."

"What are you kidding, hey!"

"How is that possible, what kind of prank is this?"

"Woo woo, I'm so scared..."

Akihiko Kayaba's words detonated all the players again, and some timid female players couldn't help but cry.

“……”

Lu Qing in the crowd took everything in his eyes, and it was impossible to say that there were no waves in his heart.

The game has only just begun, and more than two hundred people have already lost their lives.

In the following playthroughs, more players will lose lives for a variety of reasons.

Although he was a little unbearable, Lu Qing quickly suppressed the strangeness in his heart.

There are so many worlds, and there are countless people who die every day in each world, and Lu Qing does not have a heart of the Virgin.

Although he has compassion, Lu Qing's compassion does not allow him to sympathize with everyone.

Kayaba Akihiko continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, I finally sent you a small gift, which is in your inventory, please confirm. ”

When all the players heard this, they all subconsciously acted according to Akihiko Kayaba's words, and took out the gifts that Akihiko Kayaba gave to everyone from their respective inventory.

A hand mirror!

After removing the hand mirror, the next moment, a pale blue light envelops the player.

When the blue light clears, the height and appearance of all players will change.

It's exactly like their real body!

And although Lu Qing was also shrouded in blue light, there was no change, after all, when the system created a character for him, it was created with reality as a template.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my goal has been accomplished, to create this world, to be seen, so as to make SAO."

"Good luck, then!"

As Kizuhiko's words slowly fell, the black-robed man in the sky turned into a blood-colored liquid and rose into the air and disappeared.

In just a few seconds, the sky returned to the previous twilight sky, beautiful and colorful!

However, few people are in the mood to enjoy this beauty at this moment.

The Game of Death has officially begun!
