*Klick*
I closed my door and immediately issued the latest game tapes.
«Sword Art Online» for open server's
a VRMMORPG «Virtual Reality Masive Multiple Online Role Playing Game».
As the name, this game uses a system that was recently introduced in the world, full dive environments. A system that can make you feel online gaming like a reality with you moving your own avatar like your own body in real world.
and how it can be?
the full dive environment cuting whole electromagnetic waves from the brain to a body and «narvegear»'s scanner translating that electromagnetic wave into a complex code that you can moving your avatar like a normal body.
And if you're curious who created it, he is Kayaba Akihiko-sensei. He is the greatest scientist and leader of the «Argus» company's.
In accordance with my call on him. he was my teacher. Or rather my secret teacher, because no one knows our relationship except me, Kayaba-sensei, and his adopted daughter, Kayaba Shiori. Oh, there some people too, but i inert to tell their name's.
I met with him in my 13th birthday after my Grandpa died. I accidentally meet him in front of a game store. And for some reason he kept staring at me, after we both introduced ourself he always tailing me where ever i went, after i feel irritated in his behavior, i ask what his intention and he forced me to visiting his home.
He introduced his project to me. the «NerveGear», device for use full dive environtment and the «Sword Art Online» game plan script, The first game system that uses full dive.
"how if you helping me with this project?" that's the offer he offering me. The fact, i'm really surprissed because his offer, but finally i take it because i'm also mecha lover and addict gamer, as well i love kendo too.
And since then I have something else besides trained suguha in home.
i messing with a complex code and make it into a virtual object for «Sword Art Online».
And I must admit, I've considered Kayaba Akhiko-sensei like a father figure to me, because of his special attention towards me, which I don't know about his intention.
and about Shiori...
ehm, yeah, she is like a little-sister figure for me. but i never labeled her as special one, beside i always keep my attention toward her, sugu and another one in fair.
and, she always make my heart jump.
like she waiting for me in bathroom when i need to bathing if i sleep in kayaba-sensei mansion.
yeah, i keep it secret toward sugu, and just say i sleep in my friend home. Because, if she know, she will become yandare. And i didn't want a wandare sister in home.
I took a deep breath while looking at my computer screen.
'«Sword Art Online» booming in the market along with 10,000 copies game solded in just 1 day. And the official opening of the games will begin today at 1:00 PM'
*Klick*
I turned toward my room's door, I found Suguha peering shyly. I was smiling at her.
"What are you going to compete, Sugu?"
"E-eh... O-onii-chan... Y-yes..."
She replied nervously, she covered her flushed face with the door, though she covered it I could tell because she was always like that, makes me confused with her behavior on me.
"get the number one, and i will give you a gift..." i smiled toward suguha.
"E-er... well... I set onii-chan..."
Suguha immediately closed the door slowly, then I heard her footsteps down the stairs. I peeked out of the room and found suguha waved toward my windows room with a cheerful smile and i smiled back.
I stared at the clock on my wall.
12:57 PM
I immediately lay down on my bed. Wearing My «NerveGear» in my head. After lying in a comfortable position, I muttered when the clock show 01:00 PM.
"Links start!"
« 1st floor - starting city, western field. 06 - 11 - 2022 - 4:39 PM »
I was looking at the status of my avatar in floating digital screen in front of me.
Name: Kirito
Level: 4
HP: 470/470
After almost 4 hours I trained a newbie named Klein, I went up to level 4. While the red haired man sitting on the grass in front of me just went up to level 3. Making us in tenth highest level from 10.000 new player. And actually i'm in number one and Klein in number 10.
We chatted a lot thing, and he also had made me emotional because he asked about suguha and insist to introduce him to my 'sister'.
On the other hand, I feel happy because it can make other people happy when playing this game, the reason is because I also helped Kayaba-sensei making this game.
And I was hiding who actually I am and my only unique skills from klein. I feel better and safer that way.
I still use my old avatar in beta test of «Sword Art Online».
I also has a special skill «Dual-Wielding». The Skill is my original skill that I made in my own and Kayaba Akihiko-sensei let me do it.
I made it because 'nitoryu' is my specialty in the real world.
it make me remember, Suguha always said that I going to formal competition again.
"Onii-chan is true monster if wielding two sword, you cant beat junior class in ease, middle class with some time and equal with senior class... it's make me little jealouse of you"
I'm still remember her words that day.
Yeah, I'm the Junior Kendo Champion in my 13 years. I do it because i want give grandpa last thing he desire before he passed away.
Have a descendant like him. The kendo's Champion.
But, after that, i'm quiting in official turnament because it make me inconvenience, but i still train Suguha and have a spar for one-two hour each days.
I'm immediately turn my attention toward my status again after spacing out.
When I pay attention to my status and others menu belongs to me. I heard klein inquired nervously.
"Kirito where the log out button?"
I looked klein with a puzzled look.
"Of course under the «setting» item..."
I tried checking the log out button, and realized the items disappear from the screen. Leaving a blank line.
"This may be the act of bugs, things like this is normal if happen, right?" Klein asked with a worried tone.
It is true, the bug is common in the first released online game, but...
"Kayaba-sensei and me have checked all month ago and didn't fin abnormalities before copy of the game spread, and all the bugs have been cleared by me and Shiori's hard work." i muttered in my had.
I put on a serious face and then peered into the clock in the edge of the screen.
"aren't you worring about your dinner? now, it's already at 4:58 PM" I said in a flat voice.
"Nooooooooooooo... my teriyaki mayonaisse sauce pizza and ginger aleeeeeee... " Klein screaming comedically because he remembering about his food in the real world.
*sigh*
I feel bad about him, why he have a strange taste like that?
*Ding*
*Dong*
*Ding*
*Dong*
Me and Klein hear the bell of the Starting city echoed, a few moments later my body and Klein's body covered in white light.
Few second later.
I opened my eyes slowly, and I found both of us already in the starting city square, and can I make sure that all players also been forced teleporting to here after seeing the amount of players who gather at this place.
"What the..." the player voice echoed when viewing a 'warning' in red-hexagonal-icon float in the sky. A few minutes later, the icon was spread and cover the sky with red color.
Furthermore, a strange blood-red liquid emerging from the slits of icon, they get together and then forming a figure of «GM» or game master in blood red robe.
And more strange is...
"He does not have a face..." one player shouted as she looked at a giant humanoid figure floating in the sky.
"I'm afraid..."
"Calm down, this is definitely an opening event..."
"«GM»... quickly say what do you want?"
Sound player who was getting impatient echoed. But somehow I feel very bad while watching «GM» figure without a face.
"Welcome to my world..."
I chocked hearing a statement of «GM».
My world? Could it be?
"Introduce, my name is Kayaba Akihiko. Creator of this world and the only one who control this world..."
The players began to whispers after hearing a statement of «GM». I just looked at him with a piercing gaze, ignoring Klein in confusion state in my side.
"You may already be aware that the log out button disappeared from it's place..."
The «GM» poping out a menu in front of him and pointed toward an empty field, where a Log Out buttons stayed before.
"Calm down, this is not a bug or some sort of act of system error, this is a feature of «sword art online». I repeat this is a feature in the «Sword Art Online»."
I tilted my head. Trying to guess what is Kayaba-sensei actually planed. While the other players including Klein started screaming madly because of this.
"If you want to get out of this game, you must complete the 99 floor and fight the last boss on the 100th floor. There is no other way to get out from this world except finishing this game."
I hide my confused in silence. While Klein asked anxiously towards me.
"Kirito. That man must be crazy, right?"
"No, I know what kind of person Kayaba Akihiko is. And if he declares it, then a reality is like that."
I replied calmly, making klein getting anxious but I ignored him and turned back to «GM» in the sky.
"And you are can not remove the «NerveGear» on your head, if someone take off it by force. the electric pulse will burn your brain. And unfortunately the families and relatives of the players ignore this warning..."
"Hoy, Kirito... that mad-man word is not right, isn't it?" klein ask me. Trying to deny the words just recited by «GM».
"It is true, the electric pulse in «nervegear» moves like a microwave electricity pulse. And it can roast the brain." I replied dryly, hiding my fear of what might happen.
I glanced Klein who showing disbelief expressions. Then I looked to «GM» once again.
"213 players had already become victims because of this carelessness, and this time the mass media around the world about this issue, and for now, the victims can be pushed into minimal count..."
The screens began to appear and floating around the giant figure of «GM».
"This thing has become a lesson for other players families, so their aren't release «NerveGear» arbitrarily. And you need to know, the player reviving system has been deactived in this game, in other words, if your HP reaches 0, then the «nerve gear» will send an electric pulse that will burn your brain."
The entire player choked hear this. 213 die in a matter of minutes? And how about the live of another 9787 players? It's like a massacre disaster or mass slaughterer in the history...
"I also gave you something for proofing this world is your second reality. Please check that in your «»inventory» respectively. "
The player includes me and Klein check each «invintory» and got a «handheld mirror». I look at my avatar's face reflected from the mirror.
But, a few moments later a strange thing happened. Our body enveloped in a white light.
"Kirito... hoy? are you all right?"
I heard klein, but when I looked at Klein, I saw another face with unkempt-horible-chaotic facial and red hair. He also seemed confused as she looked towards me. and when I look into the mirror I finally realized.
"K-Klein," I pointed at the man in front of me.
"Ki-Kirito?" He shocked too, from his voice I'm sure he is klein.
"What's going on? How can we turn into our original appearance?" Said Klein in confusion.
"Scaning..."
Klein look on me with a puzzled look.
"«NerveGear» scaning the entire face of us." I replied with thing I can think of for now.
"yeah, we are been given order to check the entire body for the first time we wearing the «NerveGear»." Klein agreed it. Then he continued his word.
"Yeah, i know it. But why?"
"I'm sure he will answer..." I pointed on the «GM»'s direction after klein asked.
"There may of you are asking. Why Kayaba Akihiko? Why full dive environment makers and «Sword Art Online» disigner do this? The answer because I wanted to create a world where I can keep an eye on and also regulates what happens in this world."
I bit my lip, if it's in the real world, the blood will definitely come out from my teeth marks.
I don't believe it, why he created this game of death? is he wants to be a god in his world at the expense of 10,000 lives for his own pleasure?
Why Kayaba-sensei?
That day you said to me and Shiori that you want to plant a seed that can give humanity hope in future. But, now...
you just spread a despair in this horrible nightmare!
"and that is the tutorial in the opening event of the «Sword Art Online», and on the player, I wish your luck."
After completing his words, «GM» back turned into a disgusting form and disappear in the sky. 'warning' icon that covered the sky disappearing. Leaving the plaza of starting city become silent.
A few seconds later. The players began the craze and become uncontrollable.
I immediately attracted Klein.
"Come with me for a while..."
Klein also followed me into the deserted hall. I immediately opened my menu, and prepare equipment to start a crazy adventure in this crazy world.
"If his words is correct. then resources in Starting city will not keep all the players here. we must immediately move to the next town. I know the safe roads."
I explained towards Klein. But...
"Kirito sorry, I play this game, along with some people from my work. I can not leave them like that. We all best friend in real world since Highschool. I can leave them die."
I bit my lip in frustration. Shit,...
"I think... we'll split up-wait!"
i'm paused my farewell with clien because i still can make little plan in my head.
"w-what's happened, Kirito?"
"i think that will work..."
"what is work?" Klien asking with puzzled look.
"klien, i can give you and your friend other tutorial, but please gather your friend and rest first. Tomorrow we will meet in our last farming spot at 9:00 AM..." i turned my body and trying to get away to that place before someone interlude me.
"Where are you go?" Klien asking with worry.
"i have some thing i must doing..."
"oke, be carefull kirito..." Said Klein with wide grinn. I just faked my smile so Klien didn't Notice my heart-breaking feeling. Then i began to run, but...
"Kirito..."
I heard Klein call, and I turned to him.
"seeing your cute face make me bit jealous..."
I was a little offended and then reply him dryly.
"You also better with that abysmally face, Klein. Remember, at tomorrow appointment..." After replying Klein, I immediately running away.
After I am exiting safe area and running in field, i put out all my feeling that i hold in front of Klein.
"Why? Why..." I yelled,
I slashing every «mobs» in my way without thinking that «mobs» is getting killed or not.
I cried all the way because feel betrayed.
"Kayabaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...! i'll kill you for sureeeeeeeeeeee!"
