Akihiko Kayaba, male, author of quantum physics and talented game designer.

At this moment, he was watching the people sitting in his laboratory fall silent.

He received funding from a mysterious person many years ago, owned this laboratory, and created the world of his dreams.

Although, he didn't know the true identity of that mysterious person.

However, the existence that can come to him easily and without hindrance.

Must be unusual.

"Who are you?" Kayaba Akihiko asked.

Sitting at his lab table was a teenager.

Black hair with slightly curly hair, a snow-white bandage wrapped around the right eye, pale complexion, a young boy with a delicate and immature appearance.

"My name is Shuji Tsushima."

"It's your partner." The boy introduced himself with a smile.

"Partner...that mysterious person...is you?!" Kayaba Akihiko, who was obsessed with research, didn't know Shuji Tsushima.

He was just shocked at the age of the mysterious man.

If Shuji Tsushima was the mysterious person who invested in him back then...

How old was Shuji Tsushima back then...

"No, the mysterious person who invested with you in the first place was my uncle." The young man lowered his eyes in disappointment.

"But he's dead."

"Before he died, he told me that the game you designed was a gift he prepared for me."

"Because of an idea I mentioned when I was young."

"I want a real game." The boy said lightly.

Of course not.

at least……

That one didn't die, he was still alive and well.

However, the past Shuji Tsushima mentioned existed.

When he was a child, after clearing a certain game, he mentioned it once out of boredom.

"I really want to play the legendary Sword Art Online..."

"Game of death."

"It must be more interesting than these."

The young Tsushima Shuji said expressionlessly.

then……

Akihiko Kayaba appeared in this world.

Naturally, the game he designed appeared.

Of course, the young Tsushima Shuji put everything behind him after he said it.

But Akihiko Kayaba is still working hard to design his game.

Waiting to pass the time for Shuji Tsushima when he is bored and thinks about Sword Art Online again at any time.

"...Your uncle is really kind to you." Kayaba Akihiko said with a little embarrassment.

His mysterious investor is actually dead.

It was quite a pleasure to cooperate with each other.

After all, money is given to money, and people are given to people.

Without further ado, without hesitation.

Even though according to what the boy said, the other party is dead, Kayaba Akihiko's research has not encountered any resistance.

There should be a continuous supply of resources.

But……

this gift...

Maybe it will bring death to the teenager.

Kayaba Akihiko thought to himself.

What he is doing is not a game that can be played casually...

To die in the game is to die for real.

If the mysterious person knew this, he would probably come back alive with regret.

pity……

Akihiko Kayaba will not stop his plan.

So he smiled and began to introduce the game he designed.

*"I live to create that city, a world that transcends all the frameworks and laws of the real world..."

"That world..."

"It's the world of Sao—Aincrad." Akihiko Kayaba introduced with an almost obsessive expression.

"Can I try it out?" Shuji Tsushima asked.

"...Of course." Akihiko Kayaba looked strange, but he still replied.

"I'm preparing for a while, looking for a group of pioneer players to experience."

"And then officially release the game." Kayaba Akihiko said.

"Of course, you can experience it before everyone else..." He said, picked up a helmet from the experimental table, and handed it to Shuji Tsushima.

Then he put on a helmet himself.

"Want to go and see together? The world I created." Kayaba Akihiko invited.

"Okay." The boy agreed without hesitation.

Put on a hat.

[Sword Art Online--]

[Connection started——]

Shuji Tsushima and Akihiko Kayaba appeared in the world of Aincrad.

"The first floor, the street of beginning..."

"This tower has a total of one hundred floors, and each floor has a different gatekeeper..."

"Only after defeating the gatekeeper on the first floor can you enter the next floor..."

"After defeating the boss on the hundredth floor, the game will be cleared."

Kayaba Akihiko introduced this world seriously.

Turning around, he saw that Shuji Tsushima had already played with the wild boar on the side of the road.

Sitting on the back of a wild boar and being bumped around.

Akihiko Kayaba: ...

He watched the boy being knocked over by the wild boar and fell to the ground.

"Ah...you don't feel any pain?" He sat up and asked, rubbing his head.

"The pain can be set." Kayaba Akihiko said to Shuji Tsushima after finishing off the wild boar with a wave of his hand.

"Just open your panel and set it up."

Of course, when the official game starts...

The pain sensation is 100% and cannot be changed.

Shuji Tsushima found the panel, and filled it silently in the column of pain sensation.

"100% pain? Are you sure?" Kayaba Akihiko said in surprise.

There is still a big difference between actively adjusting and being forced to experience.

"certainly."

"Only pain can represent truth~" the young man said casually.

"If you die in the game, will you die in reality too?" He looked at Akihiko Kayaba expectantly and asked.

"...Of course not, how is it possible, it's just a game." Akihiko Kayaba smiled and said perfunctorily.

Of course he can't let the other party know that this is a game that will kill people.

Otherwise, how can the game be released smoothly?

"Hey... what a pity." Shuji Tsushima said dejectedly.

"We are GM now, equivalent to the game administrator..."

"Can the equipment be changed?"

"Can I also be arranged as the gatekeeper boss?" The young man's questions seemed endless.

"You want to be the gatekeeper boss?" Kayaba Akihiko looked at him strangely.

"Compared to being an ordinary player who fights monsters and upgrades, it's more suitable for me to be a full-level boss~" Shuji Tsushima said confidently.

"It's already been designed, I'm afraid it won't work." Kayaba Akihiko thought for a while, but still rejected the other party.

One more uncertain factor is not enough.

"Then how are you going to release it?" Shuji Tsushima asked.

"Is it only released in China? How many players are there?"

"I think your game should be promoted to the whole world." The young man praised sincerely.

How can a mere 10,000 players in the country do it?

Of course there is no limit, a game played by tens of millions of people.

Isn't Sword Art Online worth it?

The main god space has an unknown number of players from various countries.

Turn Sword Art Online into a scale similar to the main god's space...

How nice.

By the way, it can also be used to select reserve members for the organization.

Shuji Tsushima stroked his chin in thought.

Sword Art Online is the first level of the assessment, spirit.

And the second level of the game...

Let's talk about it later.

-----Off Topic-----

ps: Will Sword Art Online be launched globally?

Except for China (don't ask, if you ask, you can't get in), when the country can finally introduce it, news of the gamification of death will spread.

So the world began to destroy the helmet loggers of Sword Art Online.

No new players enter, and all old players are trapped inside and cannot get out.

There are only 10,000 players trapped in the original work, which is a bit small (bushi)
