I looked down at the mob infront of me, my eyes as cold as night. It only took me but a glance,although it was only a boar no player should be this strong at the start of the game.
I inherited this body not to my own will but for the entertainment of the outer gods, there is nothing I could do but follow their will, currently I am 17 it is 2022 and this boy was one of the unlucky souls that entered the death game.
Ironically it can be seen as lucky that I took his place although I don't know where his soul went, I could only hope he has piece wherever he is. But I can't focus on any of that, now this is about my survival I was originally Anthony Pierre I didn't really watch anime much but was into games, I was studying law but then I was cursed by a deadly sickness I had no symptoms till one day I passed out, the truth is at that moment I died I saw them take my body and extract blood to see what killed me but I wasn't able to see the rest of what they did to me as I was transported to a some sort of world where time didn't move, it looked just like the streets i grew up on,a few moments later I met one of the many outer gods.
I had no idea what it wanted and nore could I understand it as all I heard was rumbles everytime what I believed was it's mouth opened for some reason I wasn't batshit crazy on the floor crying because of what was infront of me, eventually it reached out to me and grabbed me looking into it's eye I saw two paths, one where I was tall,burly man with orange hair and golden axe.
The other path showed me another rather tall man with long redish hair and a katana in his hand, he also had this weird mark on his forehead.
I thought that the katana man looked pretty cool and was going to reach out to that side of it's eye but the entity shoved me towards the other one
The world around me shifted as I was slowly spaghettified I closes my eyes after what felt like 5 minutes to me I felt a burning sensation on my shoulders I felt ground under my feet.
I opened my eyes to see I was in a beautiful grass field, the sun beaming making the grass look as if glowing, my moment of appreciation didn't last long though because a boar had spawned behind me and rushed at me
Luckily for me the creature wasn't quiet at all and allowed me time to turn around Instead of trying to dodge I had an unusual sense of confidence and stared down the creature I watched as it's rush slowly turned into a jog from a jog to a walk till it stopped I quickly jumped at the boar with my fist glowing orange and punched down at it's head while it was off gaurd it was crushibg its head under the pressure of my fist
That's when I had noticed the health bar above it head and the red gem next to it I was confused at first till i winced at the sudden flash, and that's when I realized I was no longer me which I should've noticed the second I one shot a boar
I was in a game Swors art online to be exact created by Akihiko Kayaba it had been released just a few minutes ago and I had been one of the first to log on I had wondered into a forest on a quest to kill boars to level up
I looked down at the mob infront of me, my eyes as cold as night. It only took me but a glance,although it was only a boar no player should be this strong at the start of the game
A blue flash appeared I'm the corner of my eye and swiped my hands to open the menu
Congratulations Escanor!
Level up!
Lvl 2 < Lvl 3
1 point!
So my name is escanor.. I could have sworn I've heard that name somewhere, can't worry about that now I have to see my stats
Agility: 1
Strength: 3
I saved up my original 3 stat points and the ones I gained from all these levels summing up to 6 points, I looked at my stats confused "3?" I hadn't used any of my stat points so why was strength at 3 at first I thought it was a bug so I closed and reopened my menu again but it was still 3
I chalked it up to it being a bug and it would be fixed later, the game had just released so what could I expect, I looked around and decided I should head back to the town of beginnings but before I could even make a move I was teleported to the town of beginnings I was surrounded by multiple players all as confused as me
