"Sloth Version of Sword Art Online" was finally named "World Of Dark Souls: Shadows Die Twice". Although I don't know how to translate it in the language of sloths, but that is not
What I have to worry about.
The game's slogan is "Do something you've never done before."
Since the "Cyberlux-1" race itself is data, the "complete stealth" technology is not attractive to them at all. The main promotion is a "new world" and "new experience".
That is, the "fantasy world", "real body feedback" and "resurrection mechanism" that they have never seen before.
The former is due to the limitations of their social development and there is no soil for birth, while the latter is because they have lived digital lives for too long and have long forgotten how to control real bodies.
Finally, in the traditional "gun, car, ball" game, there is no such thing as "resurrection". Even if there is something similar, it will be a matter of the next game. In this game, if the player's life is cleared during the battle,
When Zero enters a dying state, he can have a chance to resurrect with half health on the spot, or wait for other players to rescue him. However, if he dies twice in the same battle, he has to return to the resurrection point.
Therefore, in a different world that looks very interesting, taking risks by controlling a character whose feedback is very real or obscure in all aspects, this "something that has never been done before" aroused heated discussions as soon as it was publicized.
The number of test places was immediately filled up.
Perhaps it was because most of the internal beta quotas issued belonged to the same "branches" that gave birth to this "fruit", and their receptive abilities were also very strong. After getting used to the operation method for a while, the "pioneers" directly dispersed to experience the world.
Then they all came back dead.
"[That pig named Princess is so awesome.]"
"[Why do those fishmen still run away and call for help?]"
"[Everyone, I was instantly killed by a kobold named Hogg.]"
"[Why are there three orcs hiding behind the tree!]"
Well...it's really interesting to watch a group of humans, elves and dwarves who still have sloth habits complaining to each other about dying too quickly.
[Warcraft background and profession, Dark Soul difficulty, plus open world gameplay, it’s strange that they don’t die quickly. 】
Contrary to what you guessed, the number of players who choose the sloth race is the least compared to the fantasy race, because other races have their own weapon professions, and only sloths have the label "from scratch" and nothing else.
Although it has unlimited possibilities, and you can add some points to change jobs, but it is a sloth after all, so it is only normal to give up as soon as you see the introduction.
By the way, the camps are not open. No matter what race they are, after leaving the novice village, they will go to the same main city and start an adventure. After all, they are ultimately going to have to fight against a big devil who locks them in the game. Accumulating conflicts in advance seems like...
Nothing seems to be wrong?
[Typical thoughts of the devil.]
'Stop talking nonsense, I'm going in to play, will you go?'
【Go together, go together.】

Since it is in the data space, you can enter the game directly without having to "Link to death".
After confirming the entry, the data incarnation suddenly turned into a stream of light and submerged into the "fruit".
Then he appeared at the door of "Northshire Abbey".
Theoretically, there should be a CG from the main city all the way to the novice village, but I chose to skip it directly.
"Hello, adventurer, are you here to help deal with those damn lemures?" The guard in front of him looked over.
There are no dialog boxes or options, which would be too silly for a full stealth game.
Of course, it is not artificial intelligence. It is too wasteful to equip NPCs everywhere. What is used here is a "keyword feedback" system. Only when specific words are used during the conversation will the next step be entered.
For example, in this sentence, the reply is "Yes." "I am willing to help." "Lemur?" "Who are you?" "What exactly is going on?" "Let's play a game of Hearthstone." and other related words and phrases,
You can get corresponding feedback.
Of course, you can also ignore him and walk away, but next time he will only say that sentence.
I don't need to upgrade tasks or anything, so naturally I don't need to accept any tasks. I just take a few steps back and start observing my surroundings.
The magnificent but slightly old monastery, the vineyards with little things running around, the clear river and small bridge, as well as the vegetable fields across the river and the Defias Brotherhood plotting ridiculous conspiracies there.
Perfect reproduction, touching.
Although it is strange to appear in the World of Warcraft as the magical girl Illya, I have already prepared a countermeasure: Game Mall~
Only skins are sold, not props, and a maximum of monthly cards are allowed to be consigned.
And Illya's skin is one of the top skins for human women. In this way, other players will only think that I am a rich man, not anything else - although they can't think of anything else with their imagination.
.
"Hmm... I really don't want to fight monsters and do quests." I muttered to myself, called up the control panel and upgraded myself ten levels, and the golden light flashed continuously.
This behavior is naturally for "Grox" to see. It was okay outside before, but after entering the virtual dimension, it becomes its home field. You must be prepared for the avatar to be under surveillance at any time.
[It cannot parse your data and is reversely analyzing the game itself.] The stupid system said.
‘Haha, let’s analyze this suture-like game as you like.’
"Thank you for your contribution to the North County Monastery, adventurer." The guard in front of him changed his expression from unfamiliar to enthusiastic: "Here is a letter, please pass it to the mayor of Goldsmith Town. There has been some trouble there recently, and you are needed.
The help of such adventurers.”
At the same time, from the entrance of the monastery to the vineyards in the distance, many figures with different appearances appeared in an instant. They were running around, making various actions, fighting monsters, or being beaten.
This means that "network mode" is turned on and other players can be seen.
However, even so, due to the large number of players, what can be seen is still only a small part of the players who are actually here. The others have been shunted to other mirrors, and players who must be friends with each other can directly see each other.
[What should I do now? The game process is already familiar to me. Are you just looking at the scenery? Do you want to go straight through the Death Mine and end the closed beta? 】
'Don't worry, we have to wait for those [Challenge Sealers] to grow up. If we don't cheat, the Death Mine cannot be conquered by people of the same level.'
【That……】
"Let's set up a guild first," I held the letter of introduction and turned to leave the North County Monastery: "Let's call it...the SSS group."
