We all chattered theorizing about what possible event this could be, in only a few seconds the entire sky turned red with warning messages and what looked like blood poured out the sky to form a giant red cloak
"Attention players, I welcome you to my world. My name is Kayaba Akihiko. As of this moment, I am the sole person who can control this world I'm sure you've already noticed, that the logout button is missing from the main menu. But this is not a defect in the game…I repeat..this is not a defect in the game. It is a feature of Sword Art Online."
I already had a feeling of what was going to happen knowing the outer gods wouldn't put me to entertain them without my suffering
"You cannot log out of SAO yourselves. And no one on the outside can shutdownor remove the NerveGear. Should this be attempted the transmitter inside the NerveGear will emit a powerful microwave, destroying your brain and thus ending your life. Unfortunately, several players' friends and families have ignored this warning and have attempted to remove the NerveGear. As a result, two hundred and thirteen players Are gone forever, from both Aincrad and the real life"
"As you can see, news organizations across the world, are reporting all of this, including the deaths. Thus, you can assume that the danger, of a NerveGear being removed is no minimal. I hope you will relax and attempt to clear the game. But I want you to remember this clearly. There is no longer any method to revive someone within the game. If your HP drops to zero, your avatar will be forever lost. and simultaneously the NerveGear will destroy your brain. There is only one means of escape. To complete the game. You are presently on the lowest floor of Aincrad, Floor 1. If you make your way through the dungeon and defeat the Floor Boss, you may advance to the next level. Defeat the boss on Floor 100, and you will clear the game"
For the first time since I died I felt emotion again, anger, sadness, and an undenying feeling of uselessnes and despair I hate it so much. How dare he trap me and all these other innocents in this game of his.
"Finally, I've added a present from to your item storage. Please see for yourself."
I opened my it storage to see a mirror I equipped it and a light shined over my body and blinded me for a few seconds slowly gaining my vision back I noticed everyone around me looked different, some girl turned out to be a guy in secret and the handsome guy she was hugging on was some obese guy
As for me I was shocked and impressed by my body and face
I was about 6'5 or 201 cm tall, a chiseled figure with light auburn hair which could appear orange I'm the right light, I also had a mustache growing in overall I was pleased at what I was given, now that I dive into my memories my dad was from the Netherlands being at least 6'4 and my mom was quite tall for a Japanese woman being 5'6
"Right now, you're probably wondering, "why". Why would Kayaba Akihiko, developer of Sword Art Online and the Nerve Gear, do all this? My goal has already been achieved. I created Sword Art Online for one reason.To create this world and intervene in it... And now, it is complete. This ends the tutorial for the official Sword Art Online Launch. Players I wish you the best of luck"
That was the last thing that bastard said before warping away.
It only took one person to panic outloud for everybody else to follow
"Let me out! Let me out of here!"
I couldn't blame them I would panic too but there was a calmness inside me that wouldn't let me but instead it allowed me to think clearly, the first thing i should do is get as strong as possible which I already am, I'm confident I could beat most players in the town of beginnings currently the only ones that could beat me would be very smart players who already put points into agility and beta testers, even then I could still beat most beta testers.
I opened my map to scout the possible places I could hunt at to get stronger but first I checked my stats I still had my 3 strength and 1 agility
+3 strength
+3 agility
I had 6 strength 4 agility now and it seemed I gained a new ability's "shielf bash and power swinf huh? I could definitely make use of those"
Shield bash[ a rushing attack that does little damage but knocks enemy's back to make up for the lack of damage the attack has a chance of stunning the opponent]
Power swing[ a powerful swing that goes either left or right depending on the direction the owner wants it to go]
checked my inventory looking for a weapon as I hadn't used one yet, I found that I had an axe and a shield that I never equipped meaning that I was some sort of tank player in the game, definitely something I liked as this is my preferred gaming style, being able to tank a bosses attack and hit them harder than they did to me although I was nowhere near that level just yet so I would have some work to do.
