Sword Art Online. In 2022, humanity finally realizes virtual reality. VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game)-Sword Art Online. A game that completely dives into the game puts consciousness into a virtual world composed of data and acts on its own consciousness.
NERvGear, a completely sneaky machine-a streamlined helmet that completely covers the head to the face. Numerous signal components are buried inside. These components are used to generate a complex electromagnetic field through the helmet, directly connected to the user’s brain supplements-burying the disaster for the mad scientist Akihiko Kayaba’s “Game of Death.”
November 6th, Sunday. Yuuki Asuna finished today’s class and returned home tired.
Flower arrangement and tea ceremony were not what she likes, but Asuna, who bears her mother’s earnest hopes, would do her best.
“I’m back. What is this?” Seeing his brother Yuuki Kouichirou, he was happily playing with the helmet-like machine.
“Asuna, you are back. This is NERvGear. Only 10,000 copies are sold in the world. On the day it was released, it was sold out within seconds.” Kouichirou looked up at the electronic watch hanging in the vast hall, and the red numbers on it showed 12:39:16.
“The server will be launched in 20 minutes. Hehe, maybe this game can provide good planning inspiration for our company.”
Ring~ Ring~. Koichiro’s phone rang.
“What? Okay. I’ll be right over.” Kouichirou hung up the phone, hurriedly, “I still have to go out in advance. My mother said I have something to discuss with you. I will go to her study at seven o’clock in the evening.”
“Well. Please go slowly.” Asuna asked Kouichirou at the door, “Right, this one, can you lend me?”
“Take it and use it.”
Yuuki Asuna picked up the helmet. Sword art online advertisements have long been overwhelming, and slogans such as “a stealth game that fully realizes virtual reality” could be seen everywhere.
Asuna herself was not interested in the game, but she was also curious at the moment. Lying on the bed in a comfortable position, she said.
“link start (start connection)”
Consciousness enters the luminous tunnel, and at the end was the login panel and registered identity information.
“ID? Asuna, all right.”
Yuuki Asuna (ゆうきあすな), derived from the Roman pronunciation of the name.
When she opened her eyes again, Asuna stepped onto the ‘Starting Town stone road,’ and every new player who logged in would start from here.
From the perspective of others, a blue halo flashed, and a figure appeared.
Each player could freely adjust their appearance, height, and voice. Asuna set herself in the image of aqua-blue long hair and pointed ears.
“This is Sword Art Online… It looks like the real thing.”
Asuna looked at her hands in amazement and then looked around. Except for the slight flaws in the human body modeling, everything else was exactly the same as real life.
This incredible feeling makes Asuna feel that the virtual character in this world is like her own clone, “If I were in this world, I…can be myself!”
The good times did not last long, and a tense atmosphere began to spread in the streets.
——Unable to log out of the game.
There was no explanation from the operator. As time passed, anxiety and fear began to linger in her heart.
The streets of the starting town began to swear, and some people even put their hands on the sides of their heads as if they were about to take off their transparent hats, trying to take off their helmets in reality.
However, Asuna knew that it was useless. To achieve a complete stealth environment, NERvGear ultimately canceled the command signal from the brain to the spinal cord and turned it into a signal that moves the body in this world.
No matter how hard she waved her hand here, the body lying on the bed in her room in the real world, her arms would not move even if she moved.
The icy cold that jumped up to her back made Asuna frightened inexplicably. The mail sent to GM was still falling apart. Just when her mood was wandering in uncertainty. The nightmare began to sway in the sky.
——If you died in the game, you were really dead.
