Once upon a ti, Kaito, like other netizens, daily looked forward to the arrival of virtual reality gas.
Unfortunately, what eventually developed was just a VR device connected to a computer.
Due to the high price, plus the gas were few and not very smart, Kaito had never actually bought one.
Kaito also admired these ga creators. As VR devices gradually improved, ga content beca increasingly rich, including full support motion sensing.
But...
When would imrsive virtual reality gas arrive was still unknown!
Now that he had a helt that could connect to the SAO World, Kaito couldn't help but sigh a bit.
"Darling, do you like playing gas too?"
"Mm."
Kaito nodded in reply to Irisviel.
"Too bad. The instructions say only one person can bind to one helt."
Looking at the ga helt in Kaito's hand, and the other items in the helt's packaging box, Irisviel, who also wanted to play along, was a bit disappointed.
Why did it have to be bound?
Couldn't one machine be shared?
Well, this also explained why Mika didn't lend the helts to Shodai and the others. It wasn't that she didn't want to lend them; one helt could only be used by one person. It had automatic identity scanning. If it wasn't the owner, you couldn't log in, etc., etc.
Now Mika had one, her daughter Ako had one. Who could the last one be for?
[Mika]: Oh right, there's also an introduction to the ga and a story collection. Kaito, do you want to see it?
[Kaito]: An introduction to the ga and a story collection... Alright, send it to to have a look.
Kaito knew SAO very well. It mainly took place inside Aincrad.
But considering the original work might have so changes, he still needed to take a look first.
[Mika]: All done~ I've sent it to you.
[Kaito]: Okay.
Received an exclusive gift. After obtaining it, he got a thick book.
The cover of this book depicted a World Tree and [Aincrad] in the sky. The packaging was very exquisite.
Except...
The World Tree was a problem.
SAO didn't have a World Tree; it existed in another ga, the Alfheim arc.
'Sure enough, the plot has been changed a bit.'
Putting aside the ga introduction at the beginning, the originally planned combat system of SAO had also changed.
All players still had no classes, but there were now archers, sorcerers, etc., which didn't exist in early SAO.
That is, not bound to any class, no skill points. Everything depended on fighting with the weapon you liked, increasing proficiency, and then slowly unlocking so inherent skills. You could also learn from skill books dropped by monsters.
Those specializing as sorcerers relied most on skill books dropped by monsters.
Otherwise, you'd just be fighting with a wooden staff until you got skills to unlock your mana bar.
Leaving aside the combat system, Kaito flipped through several more pages and saw the general story background.
First, still needed to clear all 100 floors of [Aincrad].
Second, the story background also included the ntion of Integrity Knights...
'Isn't this the Alicization arc!?'
Players would join in the mid-ga and then fight enemies from another continent.
Like a faction war.
Everyone would be born in a vast open world map. You could leisurely play here.
If you wanted to fight, you went up to [Aincrad] to challenge, raise your level, increase proficiency.
Every once in a while, the open world map would be randomly invaded by enemies, and players would have to rush back to support and drive them out.
The story background was roughly like this. As for more details, he couldn't be bothered to explain.
Kaito flipped through a few more pages. When he saw the [Administrator] of the Axiom Church, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
'Mm, although the plot has deviated a lot, it's not a big problem.'
Closing the book, Kaito returned it to Mika.
With his mory, he had already morized everything, whether it was the gaplay or the story background.
He was mainly curious whether Kayaba Akihiko would still, according to the original plot, trap the players inside the ga world?
Of course, Kaito's helt wouldn't be locked; he could log off anyti.
The main thing was that this story collection also revealed so news later on.
For example, the developer of the next-generation ga, Kayaba Akihiko, had been investigated 3 years ago.
The reason was a huge loophole discovered in the ga. A beta tester suddenly couldn't log off voluntarily, and forcing a logout would burn out their brain, etc., similar to the original work.
Later, Kayaba Akihiko claid it was his serious mistake. To atone, he devoted himself to continuing making the ga, while also developing more equipnt for dical use.
During these 3 years.
First, he improved the SAO ga, making it richer and more realistic.
Additionally, he added new elents, new main storylines, etc., to give players more experiences, and so that players who weren't good at combat could also have fun in the big world.
Regarding the helt, due to his mistake, Kayaba Akihiko, after research, produced the NerveGear 2.0, and guaranteed there would be no problems, personally tested.
Thus, after the news, there were various promotional slogans reassuring everyone to use it safely. Now it was frantically selling worldwide!
But...
Kaito increasingly felt that Kayaba Akihiko wasn't that simple.
Since he was caught before, why not play an even bigger ga?
Anyway, he was destined to die in the real world; he wanted to travel to the ga world, understand?
As for the outside world, he didn't care if it was catastrophic; he would be carefree in the ga world.
As for this contradictory person, Kayaba Akihiko, Kaito wouldn't think too much about him.
'Whatever, I'll find out tomorrow when the ga opens.'
'Speaking of which, since it was a new SAO delayed by 3 years before being released again.'
'Would the protagonist inside also have grown up by 3 years?'
'For example, an 18-year-old Asuna?'
Compared to a 15-year-old Asuna, Kaito preferred an 18-year-old one.
If that was the case, Kaito was really looking forward to it.
