Chapter 1
My name is Kari Hayashi and in the year of 2022 a guy named Tomoko Tanaka created a thing called Nerve Gear. With the Nerve Gear you are able to play the game using your own body as the controls. Today the first game comes out for the Nerve Gear. Only 10,000 people are able to buy the first set. Since I was a beta tester I have the Nerve Gear and I just got the game after waiting in line for 2 hours.
I finally get to go back. I only got to be in the game for a couple months before the testing period was over and I only made it to floor 50. This time I am certain that I will be the first one to go to floor 100. It's 8:00 am so I lie in my bed and get comfortable. When I am comfortable enough I hook up the Nerve Gear and close my eyes.
When I open my eyes I am in a dark room with a screen hovering in the air. When I get to it I put my username as Deathangelz and set my character on the female default character. When I am done a press finish and I get beamed out of the dark room.
I look at myself when I get beamed to the world. I have a simple black pixie haircut and I have the armor all beginners wear. On my hip lays a sword that is going to be fine for the first few levels. When I get done inspecting myself I look around and see that I am in the town for beginners. Already there are people beaming in like me in their avatar. Not waiting a second longer a run down a street I know that leads to a good hunting area where I can level up with some simple monsters.
When I am running I suddenly hear a guy running after me yelling, "Hey you the chick with black hair slow down." Since I know I am the only one here besides him I slow down. In a couple of seconds he catches up panting like a dog. When he catches his breath he says to me, "You're a beta aren't you." When I don't answer he smiles and says, "I noticed you knew where you were going. Can I tag along because I would love it if you could give me some helpful tips?" Since he looks harmless I let him tag along. When we start walking he tells me his name is Henry.
When I reach the place I wanted to go I start hunting for the monster pigs. They are the easiest animals to kill in this game. When I look over at Henry to see if he is doing any good I see that the pig is chasing him around with a mad look in his eye. While Henry looks so scared of the pig and is running for his life. Trying not to laugh I lunge towards the pigs and with a graceful arc of my sword I kill the pig. When I finish checking for dropped items I walk towards Henry. Since he has no clue how to kill a simple pig I thought I might as well help him out. I showed him that he has to let his sword power up before he should attack. He got the hang of it after a couple minutes.
When Henry leveled to 6 and I leveled to 8 we thought that it was time to go. We both headed up towards the town for beginners. It only took us a couple of minutes to reach the town. When we reach the plaza Henry turns towards me and says, "I have to get home now because I have a pizza coming but I'm going to be back on around 8:30am tomorrow." I just shake my head. When he leaves I'm going to go back to the field and hunt some more so I can reach level 10. While I was thinking Henry had pulled up his screen where he could see his level, items he has, money, and the options tab. Right now he's looking at the options tab. After he scrolls down it a couple of time he looks up with fear in his eyes and says, "I can't find the logout button." With that I raise my right hand and put it in the air for a second. That's the command for the screen to pull up. I quickly go to my options tab and scroll all the way down where the log out button was at when I was a beta. There wasn't a logout button there. I look around and see others are freaking out too. Are we stuck in this virtual world forever? Is there even a way out?
