Kirito, the City's First Great Swordsman

The moment Kirito emptied his health bar, before truly entering "death mode," Sugou Nobuyuki had many thoughts.

For example, if you are killed by someone with the Killing Permission in SAO, you will not actually die in reality.

After all, SAO is a large-scale role-playing online game with a high degree of freedom, and PvP is never infrequent.

Although the game has only been in open beta for a few days, countless instances of people killing each other have already occurred.

Players competing in the "Arena" can choose their own "percentage of pain".

The default pain level in the game is 5%, not 0%.

Too low a pain threshold can severely impact players' skill level and perception.

What does 5% of pain sensation mean?

Being stabbed in the heart is like being bitten by a giant mosquito.

In the arena, you can choose to significantly increase the percentage of pain, even up to 100%!

After the open beta launch, the arena has probably become the favorite place for many PVP players.

People call this place "the game for the brave".

Anyone who dares to choose the 100% pain mode for a PK battle will gain a large number of fans and glory, regardless of whether they win or lose.

In such circumstances, some players, unable to bear the pain and sensation of 100% death, quit the game and immediately fell into a coma for three days and three nights.

In Sugou Nobuyuki's opinion, the so-called "Killing Permission" is probably just forcibly increasing other people's pain perception.

That's garbage!

The inner turmoil caused Sugou Nobuyuki's flying head to stare menacingly at Kirito, saliva, tears, and snot flowing everywhere.

Because the head and body are separated, there are no lungs to inflate, so even though the vocal cords are still present, they cannot vibrate to produce sound.

He couldn't utter any harsh words, but he made up his mind.

If I don't die today, I'm definitely going to thoroughly Yuki Asuna Yuuki in real life, subjecting her to all sorts of degrading and humiliating treatment! Then I'll record it all and mail it to Kirito!

This level of retaliation is only the beginning...

Thinking this, Sugou Nobuyuki's world was plunged into complete darkness.

It wasn't what he had imagined.

The current official SAO leader is Wang Yan's evil projection, not Kayaba Akihiko.

Therefore, the so-called death in the game leading to death in real life is not a vegetative state caused by synchronized consciousness.

If a player with the Killing Permission chooses "use permission to kill" in the game, their body in the real world will be instantly destroyed by an extremely high Ford current.

If your brain is burned to a crisp, do you still want to live?

In this micro-magic plane, it must be a dream.

As for...

How to hack the SAO game pod and dismantle the backdoor that Killing Permission?

It's not impossible.

Unfortunately, given the level of technological development in the Sword Art Online world, it will probably take another hundred or two hundred years before such talent emerges.

Wang Yan didn't care what the world would be like a hundred years from now!

As a projection, his lifespan in this plane is only fifty or sixty years, unlike the shadows in other high-magic, Super Martial Plane, who can easily live for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

After I die, who cares about the deluge?

While the lifespan of a typical game is only 2-10 years, SAO's appeal to players is not due to the grand scale of its game world, the ingenuity of its details, or the captivating nature of its various settings.

Instead...

This game contains a wealth of knowledge and technology that doesn't belong to the Sword Art Online universe!

Want to achieve immortality through those technologies?

No way!

Trying to live a few decades longer by taking shortcuts?

Absolutely!

For example, extracting consciousness and memory data and loading it into a quantum computer could transform the body into a data life form, allowing one to continue "living" for three to five hundred years in this alternative form without any problem.

That's it.

Those who are afraid of death and those who think they are too sharp-tongued and lack tact, and are likely to offend powerful figures, should simply not enter this game.

No one forced them.

Everyone has the right to make their own choices.

Although Wang Yan is a shadow and inherently evil, he respects others' right to choose and decide.

News of Sugo Shin's death quickly spread around the world.

In an instant, the number of online players in SAO dropped by 23%.

It was just one death case, yet it silenced people and instilled fear in them.

After all, no one wants to die a horrible death in the prime of their life because their brain is burned out.

Who would join SAO, this deadly game, if they weren't ambitious?

Aincrad Bar, Japan.

This is a floating city-themed bar built following the trend of SAO, with many game elements.

At this very moment, Kirito and Yuki Asuna have found a booth for two and are having a drink.

"Asuna, what did your parents say?"

Kirito ordered himself a cup of Dragon Fruit Enzyme drink, sipping it slowly with a wandering gaze.

However, he still had the same expressionless face as before, and no psychological change could be seen from his appearance.

Upon hearing this, Yuki Asuna's lips curled up slightly.

"It's strange... A lot of people have given up on SAO lately, but my parents have agreed to let me continue playing SAO!"

Deep down, Kirito had expected this, and he was still relieved to hear the other party's confirmation.

He learned a lot from the courses offered by the esports company.

Director Wang Yan had taught him in private tutoring sessions.

In the real world, when a pie of profit cannot be expanded and becomes irreplaceable, every time someone leaves, a new person will inevitably enter.

According to recent data, the overall number of players has declined slightly, but the influx of real human and economic resources has more than doubled compared to before!

Yuki Asuna's parents must have been eyeing the long-term benefits, right?

"Asuna, aren't they worried about your safety?"

When Kirito asked about this place, he felt somewhat annoyed.

He felt that Yuki Asuna's parents were too materialistic.

This is a game where people can actually die!

If he didn't have enough confidence that he could protect Yuki Asuna, he wouldn't have wanted her to enter the game.

"Don't worry, Kirito."

A blush of happiness spread across Asuna's face. "They're only relieved knowing that you're the one who killed Sugou Nobuyuki..."

He was so angry that he risked everything for her, making her feel like a princess in a fairy tale.

The deceased Sugou Nobuyuki?

Asuna didn't waste even half a second on this dead thing.

Her man dared to kill, was brave enough to kill, and killed for her.

The law can no longer restrain Kirito, nor can morality bind him; he is a chivalrous hero walking in the modern city!

She remembered her father's words and whispered, "This is the dawn of a great era!"

"Judging from the current situation, Kirito, you are the Legal samurai of the 21st century, the first Great Swordsman to be renowned throughout the world!"

"Think about it carefully, Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms was very strong. He killed countless people on the battlefield, but he never harmed Diao Chan."

"At the same time, it is precisely because of this that Diao Chan, who was as beautiful as the moon and ashamed of the flowers, was able to protect herself in the chaos of the world."

Comparing yourself to Diao Chan is going too far!

Asuna blushed, subconsciously picked up the apple liqueur in her hand, took a small sip, and secretly glanced at Kirito.

Kirito actually has absolutely nothing to do with Lu Bu.

White Horse Silver Spear Zhao Zilong, is more like it...

However, most boys who have played Romance of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors probably prefer Lu Bu.

Asuna had previously seen the character polls related to the Tokyo area on the game forums!
