sao world, Aincrad—

"Swordartonline", a completely stealth MMO, as its name suggests, is an online game that focuses on sword skills and players seem to have no magic elements.

This world is different from the beta test period of the game. The beta test period is a floating city with a total of 100 floors, including ten floors that have been installed and ninety floors that have not been installed.

In order to accommodate 200,000 players from different regions without appearing too competitive, the public beta made the floating city a tall tower standing on the ground, and the first floor was enlarged many times. server.

There are only ten floors in the tower, but all the elements of the 90th floor that have not been installed are distributed in various places, and there are still many modifications. And the whole world is doing task set conditions on the maps of various servers.

Maybe this will greatly increase the difficulty of the strategy, but fortunately, otherwise, if a large number of players are crowded in one place at the beginning, after the facts are announced, the players from the island country will have to be besieged by players from other countries and army registrants. Presumably, Kayaba Akihiko designed it in consideration of this situation.

The result is——Although the map of the first floor of Aincrad will not have additional changes after the game starts due to the distribution of players, with the high tower in the center as the central axis, army registrants from various countries will call players from their respective countries to form a The sphere of influence is divided into five major forces: ASEAN, Russia, the United States, EU, and the Free Zone.

What? What about the power of the island nation?

Not only is there no army, there are no registrants who can call on all national players, and players from the country where the perpetrator is located will not be allowed to have this kind of power by players from other countries. siege.

After a short period of chaos, the explored area kept approaching the central tower of Aincrad.

However, Academy City players also had to choose to act alone in the field with an incomplete team.

"Ha! 【Red Flame】!"

☆Akanari of the Flame Ghost☆(Sasaki Hanaxia) threw a red fireball, which blew up a wolf into pieces, and the dropped object entered the props bar in a blink of an eye.

"It's easy, just let me protect Curea."

"I have to say it every time. Is it to completely destroy my dignity as a man?" Kurea (Akiba Ichinose), who was standing in the back row with a spear, complained.

If you want to talk about why the spearman is behind the magician, it is because sao has no magic at all, and ☆Akanari of Flame Demon☆mainly specializes in weapons with two-handed swords, so they stand in the front line.

In this world where there is only one hp slot in life, the reason why they don't form a full formation despite having many classmates they know is that ☆Akanari of Flame Demon☆discovers that they can use magic that can also be used in reality .

"Hey, Akiha registered as a female account at the beginning, and she even used a girly name like 'Kurea' (pronunciation means red leaf in Japanese), let alone a man's dignity." ☆Aka of Flame Demon Nali☆ grinned.

"Yes, the villain relies entirely on ☆Akanari of the Flame Demon, one of the legendary four heavenly kings, to rely on. Marry me and raise me." Currea read with a bow.

☆Akanari of the Flame Demon☆The body trembled, his face was almost flushed in an instant, he turned around with stiff shoulders and shouted: "Don't use such a short name, it's very embarrassing! You ahhh! "

"Even if you say that, your ID is this name."

"☆Akanari of the Flame Demon☆" is Huaxia's full ID name including the star symbol, she argued shyly: "Which is long-winded! Who would have expected things to turn out like this! How about just an online teaching test How about playing a game by the way, why did you become living here in a real way!"

"You said it yourself, and I didn't expect this. It's not uncommon for boys to play with girls. Just now, when the original town was restored to its original appearance, there were almost 30% of boys dressed as girls?"

There are also players with mustaches and hairy legs who wear short skirts and stockings, but they are selectively removed from memory.

He paused, and turned his head to the side: "Besides, he doesn't have a girlfriend, so what's wrong with being a girl..."

"If I don't have a girlfriend, then I...I...Obviously I've been..." ☆Akanari of the Flame Demon☆The voice of her voice suddenly became smaller and smaller.

"what? What?"

☆Akanari of the Flame Ghost☆Blushed for a while, then turned around again with a "hum", and said, "If you think it's too troublesome to switch between calling privately and publicly, just call me Akanari. It's called Akanari. Hmph."

"Speaking of 'flame ghost' won't be related to your more magical appearance in reality, right?"

"Ahhhh... People, it's always a fantasy to accidentally become a magical girl. Although this profession is really not fun at all, please don't imitate it."

"I won't imitate."

Their time was moved forward a little, after the initial chaos at the beginning of the game, Akanari (Hanaxia) calmed down and explained her affairs to Cureia (Akiba). Attacked by monsters, rescued by the senior members of the Disciplinary Committee, and learned that there are monsters like monsters and evil spirits in the back of the world, they will give priority to humans who have awakened magical abilities or have corresponding aptitudes; ordinary people may also be attacked, but it usually means that those people died of Accident or suicide, how the outside world should respond is still unknown, but there is a department in the discipline committee organization of Academy City that is responsible for handling this matter. They found that Hua Xia had awakened, and invited her to join.

Thinking that if she couldn't destroy the monsters attracted by her on her own~lightnovelpub.net~, she would cause trouble to the surroundings, so she joined and comprehended the fire magic. equipment—although it's interesting to note that the best-fit magic weapon is a whip.

In the end, for some reason, magical abilities can be used in the game, and transformation can also be used.

Cureya was awakened by Akanari's suspicion, and under the guidance of Akanari, he managed to learn how to figure it out, and realized the recovery magic.

Although they really want to find an "organization", the world is too vast, and the town at the beginning is crowded with people, and then dissatisfaction erupts, and people who want to seize the superior resources for survival are moving everywhere, and there is chaos.

Akihiko Kayaba made them show their true colors, and the two of them were also taken away by the atmosphere because of a moment of panic. They were worried that there might be activities such as monster siege, and they didn't think it was safe in the circle. After Akanari discovered that magic could be used , Relying on this point, Curea bought the necessary equipment and props with the initial funds and left.

Up to now, I thought about calling myself by my real name when I saw acquaintances, but I haven't been able to get in touch yet.
