However, while these players were making noise, a huge drop of blood slowly formed in the sky above the square.
Immediately afterwards, the blood began to drip, but it did not fall. Instead, a figure with a crimson cloak formed in mid-air.
If you observe carefully, you can see that there is no human face under the cloak, only darkness.
"What's this?"
"How is this going……"
"..."
Listening to the voices in the square, the next moment a voice without any emotion came from the red cloak.
"Welcome to my world."
"My name is Kayaba Akihiko, I believe everyone is familiar with this name."
"If anyone still doesn't know, please allow me to introduce myself."
"My name is Kayaba Akihiko, I am the developer and producer of this game, Sword Art Online (sao), and I am also the basic designer of the Nervgear game helmet device."
After Kayaba Akihiko finished speaking, he paused for a while before continuing: "I believe everyone has discovered that the logout button has disappeared!"
"Please don't worry, because this is not a problem with the game, but this is how the game is."
"So, from today on, you will be the natives of this game world and will no longer be able to leave this world."
There was no emotion in Kayaba Akihiko's words, but what he said caused the players who had been quiet to riot again.
"Are you kidding..."
"Let us out..."
"..."
However, Kayaba Akihiko ignored these voices and continued: "Of course, if you want to go out, it is not impossible."
"As long as you have completely conquered this game and reached the top of Aincrad, which is the 100th floor, then you can log out."
"Otherwise, you can only stay here forever."
After hearing this, all the players in the square fell silent.
However, Kayaba Akihiko did not stop talking because of this.
"If you don't understand what I'm saying, let me say it again briefly, that is, for you, this is no longer a game, but a complete world."
"In this world, you will feel hungry, feel sleepy, and you will die."
"So, you need to pay attention to a few things."
"First, if you die in the game, you will not be resurrected."
"Second, this does not mean that you can go out. When you die in the game, the nervgear worn on your head will release radio waves and burn your brain. Therefore, if you die in the game, then on your behalf,
You will die in the real world too."
"Third: Please take care of your own life and don't think I'm joking."
"This game has begun. If you want it to end, it depends on your ability to reach the 100th floor of Aincrad."
"At that time, all players who have completely mastered this game will be able to log out safely."
After explaining the rules of this world, before anyone could react, Kayaba Akihiko continued: "In order for you to survive in this world better, I left a gift in your backpack. I hope you can
To be able to like it.”
After Kayaba Akihiko finished speaking, a small mirror appeared in Tokisaki Kurumi's hand.
Then, the entire town square was enveloped in white light.
until……
"Wow, you, you, who are you..."
"You, who are you..."
"..."
Tokisaki Kurumi turned his head and looked at the lolita who had just been there one by one. After Yujie turned back into a big-foot-picking man, she couldn't help but smile inwardly.
The most embarrassing time for cheating someone by playing a female role is probably when you are exposed to someone's face or something.
Tokisaki Kurumi looked at Kirito beside him, well, it is indeed more comfortable to look like this.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Kirito turned out to be a little girl..."
After hearing what Tokisaki Kurumi said, Kirito touched his cheek with some embarrassment.
When Kirito looked at Tokisaki Kurumi, he saw that his appearance had hardly changed except that he had become shorter.
It seems that the other party cares about his height!
However, when everyone was chatting with each other, Kayaba Akihiko's cold voice came over again.
"In this way, you should be more convinced that this is not a game, but reality!"
"Well, that ends the explanation. I hope you can conquer Aincrad as soon as possible!"
After Kayaba Akihiko finished speaking, the blood-red sky changed back to its original appearance.
However, with the disappearance of Kayaba Akihiko, the players in the game also began to collapse.
Even Kirito's expression turned ugly.
Tokisaki Kurumi, on the other hand, looked indifferent.
Because she really couldn't get nervous.
"Why are you looking like this?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked.
"Aren't you scared?" Kirito asked.
"If being nervous can make me quit the game, then I am willing to be nervous, but being nervous is of no use, so I might as well think about how to upgrade and conquer Aincrad."
Kirito was stunned after hearing this, it seemed like this was the case.
But why isn't she afraid of death?
Although she is not wrong in saying that, it is just that when people face death, they will have fear!
"Besides, it's not certain that he will die, isn't there still a chance to get out?, isn't it?" Kurumi Tokisaki said: "So, instead of worrying and being scared here, it's better to upgrade first while they are still in shock.
, this way there will be far fewer people grabbing resources.”
Kirito was stunned after hearing this, it seemed that this was indeed the case!
"Besides, you are a closed beta player, so you naturally know more than us."
Kirito nodded slightly after hearing this. What Tokisaki Kurumi said was indeed right.
"Are you willing to go with me?" Kirito asked.
He was able to take Klein away from the side of the Starting City, and he had already seen Kurumi Tokisaki's skills. Although they were still a bit unfamiliar, the operation was indeed indescribable.
And he learns quickly.
Furthermore, the nerve reflexes are too fast.
"I can do it." Kurumi Tokisaki said.
After hearing this, Klein said with some embarrassment: "I may not be able to leave with you. There are also a group of my friends who entered this game with me."
"Is that so?" Kirito looked at Tokisaki Kurumi and said, "Then let's go!"
"Yeah!" Kurumi Tokisaki nodded. Anyway, Klein has their friends, so they can just contact them when the time comes.
After determining the direction, Tokisaki Kurumi and Kirito set off.
Klein looked at Tokisaki Kurumi and Kirito who had left the Starting Town, and turned to look for his friends who entered the game with him.
