Sword Art Online, Kirito

Main God Space.

Wang Yan observed the current state of space construction.

The Data panel presents most situations intuitively.

[Resource Points: 782066]

[Reincarnator: 389/1000]

[Reincarnation Space: 9.63 million square kilometers]

[Connected Worlds: The newly born Hokage universe, the re-enacted composite Marvel Universe, Overlord Twin Stars, One Piece Plane, A Song of Ice and Fire World, Wukong's Legend universe, Ghoul Planet, Titan World, Super God Academy universe, Great World of Faerun, Assassin's Creed World, Great World of Xuan-Yuan Sword, BLEACH universe, Harry Potter Plane, One-Punch Man Plane, Great Shrouding the Heavens World, Douluo Continent, Battle Through the Heavens Plane, Dragon Raja world, Yang Shen universe, Dragon Ball universe, Sword Art Online universe.]

The Main God Space has gained another brand new Plane Channel.

Wang Yan's Resource Points were growing rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill.

The more Plane Channel, the more Reincarnator there will be, and the higher the growth rate will be.

This time, Wang Yan even conducted an interesting little experiment—

He connected the Dragon Raja Plane and the Sword Art Online universe through a game.

The Child of Destiny from two different dimensions, by chance, became good comrades-in-arms in the game.

Only...

One of the Child of Destiny's personalities underwent a dramatic change due to certain external factors, altering their original temperament from what was intended in the timeline.

A young man in a white trench coat appeared in front of Kayaba Akihiko.

Judging from their appearance, they seem to be of Chinese descent.

"May I ask who you are?"

The young man's smile had a sinister quality.

"Wang Yan".

As a projection, he only inherited the evil part of Wang Yan's personality.

What brings you here?

Kayaba Akihiko's voice was somewhat cold.

As a man obsessed with his dreams, his lifelong pursuit was to realize the floating castle he had imagined as a child.

Now, his efforts have paid off.

By studying the SAO game created by NERvGear, one can see that it is the culmination of his ideals.

"I want control of THE SEED and SAO."

The man, who called himself Wang Yan, made outrageous and extremely rude demands.

THE SEED is the World Tree Seed, the foundation for constructing holographic online games, and can be called a groundbreaking technological core.

Upon hearing this, Kayaba Akihiko almost burst out laughing.

"Don't refuse." Wang Yan smiled coldly.

Looking at the other person's smile, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He planned to design SAO as a death game, creating a real "other world" so that players would treat SAO as a life, not just a game.

This man, known worldwide as a quantum physicist and genius game designer, is not afraid of death.

After making the plans, he intended to end his life.

However, looking at the man opposite him with an evil smile on his face, Kayaba Akihiko felt that if he dared to offend him, his fate would be worse than death.

This has nothing to do with logical analysis or observation; it's purely a fatal sixth sense.

"You are a smart person."

Wang Yan chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, "That's why I don't use my 'ability' on you."

As a shadow of the Main God Wang Yan, he inherited only evil traits, a very limited amount of knowledge, and the ability called "Mind Control".

Unfortunately, he was just a projection after all.

In a world like Sword Art Online, which is almost devoid of magic, his abilities cannot be used on those who possess destiny.

Kayaba Akihiko is such a person.

But he believed Wang Yan's words.

He just checked the building's security footage.

Wang Yan walked along without any security guards stopping him.

Even these security personnel became Wang Yan's henchmen, acting as his accomplices.

They stood there as Wang Yan reached out and pointed the dark muzzle of his gun at Kayaba Akihiko, as if they would shoot him without hesitation if he made any suspicious move!

"Why..."

Kayaba Akihiko sighed, "What are you going to do with SAO and The Seed?"

Wang Yan's lips curled up slightly, his smile wicked, "I know what you're thinking: get a few thousand players, do a closed beta, and turn SAO into a death game?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but that would be too petty."

Hearing this, Kayaba Akihiko raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat displeased with this guy who spoke with such an astonishingly arrogant tone.

The sacrifice of thousands of lives to prove the truth of a world—such a grand gesture—was seen as "petty" by the other side?

"Your vision is too limited!"

Wang Yan sneered, "Don't commit suicide yet, watch what I do."

In just one month, the people of Earth in the Sword Art Online have gone into a state of frenzy.

The world's wealthy and powerful seem to have lost their minds, investing massive amounts of money to build professional esports teams and recruit professional players from all walks of life.

They gave these professional gamers a premium of more than ten times, Fawley were so good that it felt like a dream.

On Weibo and Twitter, gamers who have no special skills other than gaming have started showing off their luxury cars, new girlfriends, villas, and expensive watches.

It is said that the ultimate command from all the tycoons is to have their players enter a game called "SAO".

There are many rumors circulating about this Full-dive VRMMORPG.

For example...

SAO is not a game at all, but an undeveloped other world.

The secret to immortality is hidden within SAO.

Numerous opinions have been expressed, and the list goes on.

As for Kirito, a closed beta player of SAO, he was just a middle school student, but he was exceptionally admitted to the Esports Department of the University of Tokyo and even received a salary from Wang Yan Esports Company in advance.

"So they changed owners. No wonder the closed beta test for SAO ended much earlier than previously announced..."

Kirito is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Although he is nominally a special admission student for geniuses at the University of Tokyo, he has only gone there to have his picture taken and register his student status. He has never been to the University of Tokyo since.

He spent most of his time receiving various training at Wang Yan's e-sports company.

Physical fitness, agility, kendo, free fighting, sprinting, reflexes...

Some of these training methods were acceptable to Kirito, while others were incomprehensible to him.

SAO is very realistic, that's true, but it still has the limitations of a game.

Basic human physical attributes cannot be transferred into games.

What Kirito couldn't understand the most was...

Ideological and cultural courses.

Don't misunderstand.

The ideological and cultural courses here are not the "Five Emphases and Four Beauties" kind of things.

It was more like the whisper of some evil deity.

The textbooks are filled with dark words about killing and bloodshed.

Other employees of the same esports company seemed to have been largely unaffected.

But Kirito seems to be slightly different from the others...

After each ideological course led by "Director Wang Yan," his personality became more indifferent and evil, and he became more accepting of dark events.

At the same time, the less he valued human life.

"Survival of the fittest, only the strong survive to the end."

Similar beliefs were ingrained in Kirito's minds.

These changes happened subtly, without him even realizing it.

Finally, a month and a half later, the open beta version of SAO, with its map expanded hundreds of times, was officially released.

People finally understood why conglomerates offered such good Fawley to esports players and amateur gamers...
