Today is November 6th, 2022. DSP (Darksydephil) has began a stream on the latest NerveGear game, Sword Art Online.
"Alright, so today i'm gonna be playing Sword Art Online for the NerveGear... Okay?" Phil pauses for a second as he gets the helmet ready, " I was originally gonna stream the beta for this game, someone was handing in out at GameStop, put I got mugged by some kid." DSP puts on the helmet, "Alright, lets do this!, Link Start!", DSP turns it on, he instantly falls asleep and hits his head on the wall behind him.
After DSP creates his character (which is a shameless self insert of himself) he completely ignores the tutorial heading off to the first area. Phil fights a early game monster and loses "AH WHAT? C'MON! I HAD POTIONS WITH ME" DSP says as he points to the empty bottle icon on his screen. Phil respawns, as he respawns a notification video pops up on his video, Phil closes it as soon as it pops up, "They put ads in the game, wow dude." Phil continues to play the game slowly leveling up from the monsters he was killing, suddenly a flash of light appears. "huh? What the hell was that?" Phil shrugs and continues slaughtering monsters, afterwards Phil explores the area a little more and comes across another player. "Now hang on a second... didn't this game have PvP." Phil thinks to himself and slowly approaches the player, Phil was level 10 at the time and this player was level 1. "Hey! we need to get back to town! More monsters come out at night we need to-" the other player was instantly cut off by "Trying to trick me huh?" Phil said "I know how people are online! you'll just gonna kill me!" Phil shouted drawing out his sword, The other player looked confused, "Are you crazy!? Didn't you hear you hear that guy in the sky? He changed our appearances to our actual appearance!" Phil looks at player angrily "nice try, this is just how I look irl." "Stop! If you kill anyone you'll-" Phil swings his sword at the player, killing him in one blow. "Wow, that was easy!, Didn't even need chat for it either.." Phil said, being proud of himself. Suddenly Phil's crystal icon turns orange. "What? What the hell does this mean?, Stupid game, not explaining the basic shit." Phil put away his sword.
"Well that's enough for the stream today, Time for me to log off." Phil opens up the menu to discover the Log Off button won't work. "What?! The games fucking bugged! I can't quit!" Phil mashes the button at max speed, "I'M PRESSING BUTTONS WHAT THE FUCK DUDE, WOOOOWWWWWW." Phil stops after a minute of pressing the button. "Well I guess i'm stuck in this shitty ass game. May as well go back to town and see if anyone has a fix." Phil walks back to town, blissfully unaware of the adventurer he is about to start and the people he will meet along the way.
