Chapter 610

The next day, the time is currently around 12:55 Noon .

<hr>

It didn’t matter if you’re currently on a busy street, a small alley . Anywhere with television or computer are all reporting on the same thing, Sword Art Online is going to come online .

It is a type of full immersion game where the player will “Dive” into the gaming world . It is a very earth-shattering concept that intrigued everyone, it didn’t matter if they were into games in the first place . Heck, even if they aren’t interested in this game, the hype surrounding it drew in everyone .

The server will come online at 1300 . In other words, they will be able to log in in about 5 more minutes .

The players who managed to secure a VR headset all sat tight while waiting to be logged into Aincrad . They can’t wait for the timer to finish counting down .

Inside an abandoned house, within a secured and unused room, Wu Yan leaned against the wall with closed eyes .

He didn’t have the VR headset but the System can log him into the game without any hardware or software . He can see the same thing the other players can due to the almighty System .

Wu Yan searched around to find a spot where he can dive into the game without being disturbed . He expects to be prevented from logging out once he logged in as per the original story . He didn’t want to get chugged into a hospital like the other would-be victims of the first SAO game . He excluded places like apartments and residential areas with dense populations . He chose this dilapidated place precisely because no one would come here .

According to the rumors he gleaned off the media and available public records, this place has been abandoned for more than 5 years already . It is also apparently haunted so no one in their right minds would come here . n.o.body knew who the original was since said person disappeared a long time ago .

Wu Yan decided that this was the perfect place to log in . He expects to be stuck in Aincrad for at least 2 to 3 years, after all…

He silently praised the game for being so interesting .

<hr>

This seemingly harmless game had a hidden feature within that would indiscriminately prevent all players who are logged in from logging out about 4 hours after the game comes online .

The logout option will disappear from the user interface . Only by clearing the top floor, the 100th floor will the players be allowed to escape from this world .

Forcibly removing or tampering with the VR headset will result in the player’s death when the equipment effectively microwaves the player’s brain .

Similarly, dying inside the game will result in death in the real world as well . This was designed as a sick game that trapped the players in a game world where death is permanent .

Wu Yan wasn’t intimidated in the slightest bit . Firstly, there’s no VR headset to microwave his brain . Secondly, supposing that the game can somehow emit a long-distance high-intensity EM wave to fry his brain, his brain would regenerate in the next instant with his True Ancestor’s ridiculous regenerative powers . Finally, with Eternal Arms Mastery, he highly doubts there’s anyone or anything in a game designed for humans that can threaten him .

He pursed his lips as the time displayed in his field of vision hit 1259 .

“f.u.c.k, it’s going to be a long time before I can get some food in me . I won’t starve to death with True Ancestor sustaining my body . I just hope I won’t be overwhelmed by my hunger when I come back from this game…”

The time in his vision finally hit 1300

Wu Yan issued a command with a sharp look .

“System, connect me to Sword Art Online!”

Connecting…

He blacked out for a second there . He felt like someone drew him into an infinite expanse of s.p.a.ce as digital numerals started appearing in his vision . A bunch of OK signals pa.s.sed by and finally, the darkness returned .

This time, control returned to his body . He opened his eyes, sending the darkness away .

A mix of Medieval European and Fantasy-like structures appeared in front of him . The sky is an unpolluted blue with trees everywhere the eyes can see . The air itself gave him a sense of invigoration . A gale blew by and he basked in the pleasant sensation .
