Just when you were about to deal with what Kayaba Akihiko did, something happened.

The game SAO appeared in the world, and you quickly contacted the Yuuki Group, but due to the temptation of the first stealth game and the belief that Kayaba Akihiko would not be so crazy, they did not take any measures.

It left you quite speechless, and they even canceled your qualification for the closed beta because of this.

You are really speechless for these insects.

You had to start writing machines and software that could hack Kayaba Akihiko's device.

But with only a few months, you simply can't do it.

With the open beta of SAO, you quickly purchased a machine for research, and then discovered that Kayaba Akihiko used a technology you didn't understand. After researching it, you found that it was really as Kayaba Akihiko said, external destruction

There's no way around this machine because the microwave unit is the heart of the machine!

You studied for a while and found a challenge letter in the helmet.

The letter describes in detail SAO's programming philosophy that is different from that of all programs, and issues a challenge to you.

"I can't understand how you know my power and dreams, as if a god told you... So I want to know whether you, a brave man, really have the blessing of the gods when I give you power.

Next, can you defeat me? If you can, then the key to the future will be handed over to you. Those who are looking for a way out of the future. Whether human beings will die from being immersed in entertainment depends on your efforts. But if you can

If you win, it means that gods... also exist, right?"

These are Kayaba Akihiko's exact words. Obviously, your move to expose him has been discovered by him, and this person even found out your motives.

And you also understand the other party's motivation, that is, the other party wants to confirm one thing. He doesn't know how you know his plan, and it is so detailed, but for him who has the advantage, he doesn't care about this.

He only wants to know one thing.

Does God exist?

He couldn't understand how you knew everything about him. He thought about many possibilities, but he could only think of prophecies and divine information.

But he couldn't see the gods.

So he wanted to know if there was a god caring for him.

If there is, then it means that the different world of swords and magic that this madman and bastard are chasing does exist.

The hundred-story floating city in his heart does exist.

"madman!"

You know this very well, but you also know that if you wear a helmet, there is no doubt that you will escape death.

You start to check everything in it, and you find that apart from being able to kill people according to the original work, this helmet really doesn't have any problems. It's just a simple login to the helmet, and the program inside is fine.

You thought for a while and tried to write an escape program and load it in, but failed. Obviously, the programming language of Kayaba Akihiko you now master is not enough to defeat the opponent.

Moreover, you really need the 100-level clearance reward.

Dive into the world framework of the game, the crystallization of Kayaba Akihiko's wisdom.

You took a deep breath, and when you learned that there was another policeman who had not activated his helmet, you put on your helmet in front of him.

In an instant, your spirit comes to the world of data.

You quickly create a game character of your own and then enter the game.

The scenery you saw was already a sad scene. Countless players were trapped in the initial square. You silently took out your sword and walked outside.

You don't know why, but you have been very proficient in swordsmanship and martial arts since you were a child, and the more desperate you are, the faster your skills evolve.

After you become a little familiar with the use of the skills in this game, you instantly understand the rules of this world. You start fighting non-stop without even being hit by an attack once.

And during the battle, you also discovered something.

That is, the monsters facing you will be quite ferocious. Although the drops are sufficient, the strength has almost doubled, but to you, this is nothing.

And when you went back to upgrade your equipment, you also discovered something during a short break.

That is, the program you wrote when you entered is not useless. Your exit button exists, but is gray.

Your intuition tells you that there is something hidden behind it.

In the process of frantically killing enemies, you saved many people, and people also knew that there was a lone swordsman like you. Not only that, you also met an old acquaintance.

Yuuki Asuna.

But when you met her, she was in quite a mess. She was attacked by a lot of monsters. After you killed all the monsters, you didn't talk to her much, because it was her idiot father who asked you to

I had to make a trip myself.

You just dropped a portal crystal and left.

But when you went back, you found that the boss room on the first floor had been found. You attended the boss conference, and after getting the map of the boss room, you left alone.

A player discovered your behavior and left with you. On the way, you found out that he was the protagonist of the original work, but you didn't take it to heart. Instead, when the other player was stunned, you almost defeated the first player in a murderous manner.

Layers of monsters.

Although in his eyes, your strength and skills are already at an incredible level, you always feel that you can go further, and you can be faster!

The sword you cut can be even more powerful!

An inexplicable feeling makes you start to swing the sword according to the rhythm and rules in your heart, and even use the sword skills in the game to successfully perform all kinds of incredible sword skills.

You start to fight more violently, and you find that you can easily control any intensity of battle, and you will not be surprised by any monster's attack.

Unless it is a large-scale AoE attack such as poison gas, which you need special potions to deal with, you can easily resist the others.

So, although the first level took a long time, in the following battles, you broke through to the tenth level within a month, which made subsequent players happy and felt that they would be able to break through soon.

but--

You meet a man named Heathcliff.

You know this is Kayaba Akihiko.

But you know better than the other person.

He approached you and asked.

"How did you become so powerful?"

His expression was quite confused.

"I don't know, it seems like I should be the same."

You truthfully stated your feelings.

"A born hero?"

After Heathcliff sighed, he left.

But then, when you fight against the boss on the eleventh floor, you encounter a situation that makes you feel targeted.

This boss.

It takes two people to defeat it.

You feel targeted for this.

Although you were not injured, the door has been closed, and ‘indestructible’ signs have appeared around you, proving that this is a trap for you, but——

In such a desperate situation, you finally understand the throbbing feeling in your heart.

"Ultimate Ghost Swordsmanship!"

An unexpected storm gathers around you.

"Storm style!"

Countless swords broke through the limitations of the system and appeared beside you all of a sudden. You started to slash one after another. The sign representing "indestructible" was broken in an instant, and in the end

With one blow, the boss was instantly shattered, leaving deep sword marks in the room as well.

Later you find that the monsters you encounter have become weaker.

You were very confused and didn't know why Kayaba Akihiko was so crazy, but this didn't stop you from continuing to fight through all the obstacles. You didn't stop to rest until you broke through the 30th floor a month later - you were already two months old.

Never stopped fighting.

You threw the materials you picked up on the street casually, letting those brave adventurers pick them up. After you went to the NPC blacksmith shop to strengthen your equipment, you found a hotel and planned to rest for the day.

, and then continue to fight its own battle tomorrow.

That's right, you don't care about the attributes of your own equipment, because for you, equipment is just a necessity for attack, not anything special.

But you found other players in the hotel, and after asking for a while, you found out that these people are also trying to level up, and they have joined together. Although it is slow, they are indeed saving themselves.

You chuckled, feeling that your efforts were not worthless.

Then, you saw Yuki Asuna, her friends who thought she was dead, so they abandoned her, and a girl who called herself a singer.

They wanted to treat you to dinner, but you found it troublesome so you left.

But when you left, you couldn't help but glare at Asuna Yuuki, making her feel aggrieved.

In the next month, you continued to advance, but only reached the forty-fifth level, because the level requirements for subsequent levels were too high, and your current level has already begun to scratch.

Although you don't care, you don't want to experience the fact that it can only cause a few dozen points of damage each time, and then the boss boss has hundreds of thousands of health.
