Sword Art Online.
In 2022, humans will finally realize virtual reality.
vrmmorpg (virtual reality massive online role-playing game) sword artline sword artline.
A game where you can completely immerse yourself in the game, put your consciousness into a virtual world composed of data, and act with your own consciousness.
The complete stealth machine nervgear is a streamlined helmet that completely covers the head to face.
There are countless signal components buried inside. The helmet generates multiple electromagnetic fields from these components, which are directly connected to the user's mind, laying the foundation for mad scientist Kayaba Akihiko's 'death game'.
Sunday, November 6th.
Yuki Asuna finished today's class and returned home exhausted.
Flower arranging and tea ceremonies are not her favorites, but she will try her best to do her best despite her mother's earnest wishes.
"I'm back. What is this?" Seeing his brother Yucheng Koichiro playing with the helmet-like machine with great joy.
"Asuna, you are back. This is nervgear. Only 10,000 copies were sold worldwide. On the day of release, it was sold out within seconds."
Koichiro looked up at the electronic watch hanging in the spacious hall. The red numbers on it showed 12:39:16.
"The server will be launched in 20 minutes. Haha, maybe this game can provide good planning inspiration for our company."
Didi.
Koichiro's phone rang.
"What? Okay. I'll be right over." Koichiro hung up the phone in a hurry, "I have to go out beforehand. My mother said she has something to discuss with you. I'll go to her study at seven o'clock in the evening."
"Yes. Please walk slowly." Asuna asked Koichiro at the door: "By the way, can you lend me this?"
"Take it and use it."
Yuuki Asuna picked up her helmet. Sword Artline's promotional advertisements are already overwhelming, and slogans such as "a stealth game that fully realizes virtual reality" can be seen everywhere.
Asuna herself can't be said to be interested in games, but she also felt a sense of curiosity at this moment.
Lie on the bed in a comfortable position,
"link start (start connection)"
Consciousness enters the glowing tunnel, and at the end is the login panel and registered identity information.
"id? asuna, okay."
Yuuki Asuna (ゆうきあすな) Yuuki asuna, taken from the Roman pronunciation of the name.
When she opened her eyes again, Asuna stepped onto the stone road of the 'Starting Town', where every new logged-in player would start.
From the perspective of others, a blue halo of light flashed past, and a figure appeared.
Each player can freely adjust the appearance, height and voice. Asuna has long aqua hair and pointed ears.
"This is sword artline... it looks like the real thing."
Asuna looked at her hands in surprise, and then looked around. Except for the slight flaws in the human model, everything else was exactly the same as real life.
This incredible feeling made Asuna feel that the virtual characters in this world were like her own clones.
"If it were in this world, I... could be myself!"
The good times did not last long, and an anxious atmosphere began to spread on the streets.
Unable to log out of the game.
The operator also had no explanation.
As time passed, uneasiness and fear began to linger in my heart.
Curses began to appear on the streets of Beginning Town, and some people even put their hands on both sides of their heads as if they were trying to take off a transparent hat, trying to take off their real helmets.
But Asuna knew that was useless. In order to achieve a complete stealth environment, Nervgear completely canceled the command signals transmitted from the brain to the spinal cord and converted them into signals for the body to move in this world.
No matter how hard I wave here, my body lying on the bed in my room in the real world will not even move my arms.
A cold feeling shot up her spine, making Asuna feel inexplicably frightened.
The email sent to gm still went nowhere.
Just when her mood was wandering in hesitation.
Nightmares began to flicker in the sky.
If you die in the game, you really die.
Under the blood-colored sky, the terrifying Death God emerged from the huge drop of blood said this.
No one would believe such a declaration at first.
No, it's the refusal to believe.
The fear of death is instinctive rejection.
Ten hours after the death announcement, many people were still waiting.
They thought there must be some mistake.
Yes, that’s right, this must be just a joke played by the operator.
Maybe you can go out later, and then you must scold them angrily "How could you do such a prank!".
However, ten hours have passed since the death was announced, and I still cannot log out.
Asuna was almost desperate.
She squatted helplessly in a dark corner, surrounded by noisy sounds of panic and curses.
Asuna hugged her arms tightly and stared at the blank interface without blinking, where the logout button used to be.
Then something called 'Dimension Chat Room' appeared.
This made her body tremble, and Asuna clicked in hopefully.
... ...
(Empty): We are not game developers or operators, literally, we are people from other dimensions.
(empty): But speaking of game developers...
(Sora): Kayaba Akihiko, too obsessed with his childhood dream, attempted to realize the fantasy of a 'floating castle in the sky' in the virtual world. Well, it’s not that I can’t understand his persistence. If I had the chance, I would do something similar even if it cost me my life.
asuna: Are you kidding me? The game world is dead, and the high-power signal components buried in the helmet in the real world will burn out the brain. This is murder!
(Sora): But don’t worry, do you know the big cute god? No human being can rival her in terms of information and data. Even if the virtual level of the entire human world advances hundreds of years, it will not be able to match the big cute god.
"??"
Big cute god
Are you a master in the information field
Although I don’t know what happened, I finally heard the good news.
Sure enough, the outside world began to launch rescue operations.
And this chat room is the best evidence.
Asuna felt like she was crying with joy. I originally felt that this world should be dark, but now it became unexpectedly bright.
Aozora: I probably don’t know. Talking about "Haruhi Suzumiya" to Asuna in 2022 is like talking about "Sage" to the post-00s generation.
(Sora): Asuna stopped talking. Are you doubting the authenticity of our story? I was the same way at the time. Dimensional chat rooms and stuff like that were ridiculous.
Aozora: Huh? Do you doubt it? I saw you accepted it quickly.
(Kora): You can’t just nag about everything.
asuna: Please stop joking.
asuna: Is the game cracking going smoothly? How long will it take for us to release it
Aozora: Don't worry, I have connected to your world's network. The Great Moe God has begun to analyze the built-in code of Sword Art Online and will liberate you soon.
After hearing these words, Asuna's tense heart finally relaxed.
As soon as Ye You said these words, he was slapped in the face.
Big Cutie God: They cannot be liberated from the virtual world.
Aozora: What
Ye You was shocked.
Aozora: Even you can't break through the firewall set up by Kayaba Akihiko
Can't
The information body is an intellectual life that has existed since the beginning of the universe. Information is linked to each other to form a huge information network.
How is it possible to be helpless about the human network in 2022
Da Meng Shen: No. Merely coded information, already deciphered. But there is something more serious.
Information Body explained,
Big Moe God: Since just now, I have observed that 'Aincrad', a floating entity that is entirely composed of data and was supposed to exist only in the virtual world, has a tendency to transform into a physical entity.
(Empty): Is the fantasy realized
Da Meng Shen: No, it is the materialization of information.
Aozora: Does this have anything to do with not being able to liberate people trapped in the game
Big Meng God: These ten thousand people are the hub that connects 'reality' and 'virtual'. If they were freed, 'Aincrad' might be fully realized.
Aozora: What consequences will this have
Big Meng God: The worst case scenario is that the world collapses.
